Chapter 1122 Zombie Wave Tactic
[We did what?!!!]
[The Hector continent armies… All the settlements we had there… We lost contact with them just now!]
I looked at the distressed messages sent by Isac and roughly guessed what happened.
[Ok, I'll go and check things there by myself. Also how about the other three new continents in the south? Any bad news from there?]
[Not yet… They are still trying to fight these creatures back]
I looked around and guessed what it was like everywhere in my kingdom. The tsunami of these ugly looking zombies wasn't easy to counter.
Even with millions of my respectful warriors, facing this wave was indeed hard to counter.
However the situation in the capital wasn't that bad! With all these defensive buildings and preparations, things weren't that bad.
The tall walls provided a foothold for my forces and with the help of the defensive towers and weapons, a large number of zombies were killed or pushed away with each passing second.
The zombies grew up to form endless waves like the entire capital got sunken under the ocean. I looked at the general situation before taking out my staff and inwardly sighed.
I knew it was going to be tough. But even after all this time spent in preparation and accumulation, wasn't it even enough?
This quest was indeed the shed mark of strength accumulated during the past quests. I got a vague feeling about the real purpose behind this quest.
It was like the system higher ups purposefully kept this quest running to mess with all the plans done by the advanced races.
It was like they were saying this: Do you think you got the upper hand thanks to your background? Watch everything you schemed to gain crumble under the mightiness of the zombies!
In front of such merciless attack, nothing could stand erect, nothing could escape unscathed, not even me and my forces.
Sigh!
I opened a portal and moved through it. The location I selected wasn't nothing but the place of the last battle where I slain that king of this race.
The moment I appeared there, I took in everything that was happening at the ground and my heart couldn't stop trembling.
Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain!Smart TV
What the heck was that?!
The place of this last epic battle was once before the heart and core of the entire continent's civilization. It was a grand capital, with many outstanding walls and fearful looking defensive towers.
I came here and fought a desperate battle against that king and his forces. In the end I managed to crush everything standing in my path using brute strength and secured victory.
The place was left with deep wounds from such an epic fight. Walls were taken down and missed large portions of their initial formidable appearance.
Defensive towers were crushed, buildings were demolished. Yet it seemed Isac placed a great importance on this place as she worked her best to restore it to its prime.
I couldn't blame her for that. After all this place had deep foundations and enough base to transform into a strong and mighty stronghold here.
Saying it wasn't far off from my capital wasn't an exaggeration. But that meant nothing in front of the grand zombie invasion.
As I expected, the bitter the fight happening at a place the more terrifying the number of zombies appearing at it. Right now, this place, which witnessed the fall of hundreds of millions of people, was already covered up in thick layers of those ugly looking zombies.
They came out from every single pore of the ground and started to crawl up their way to cover even the mighty and tall looking walls.
The defences here looked like paper and glass in front of them. It was like the defences here would take out millions of enemies at any time. But faced with these hundreds of millions and even billions of crazy zombies, the entire place fell under deadly silence and horrifying despair.
Want to know what fear was like? Come and get yourself down there and see if standing in front of all these zombies wasn't enough to instigate the true meaning of fear inside you.
Even with the large number of forces stationed here, numbering in millions, I was sure everyone down there was feeling like he was standing alone and facing the grand prestige of the world without any help.
Brute strength was indeed the magical solution against any obstacle and tactic. However in such a situation, it was one of the extremely rare occurrences where strength would fail, even courage would pale.
Brute strength was the solution? Then how about facing such an irresistible and unshakable dreadful enemy like zombies? Tsk! This quest was going out of hand even at the first few minutes of it!
This was the capital of the Hectors! A place that was already on par with my kingdom's capital in terms of defences and troops stationed here.
If such a place ended up in such a way, how about the other places in the continent? During that war, the death grinder machine of this confrontation didn't just stop here.
There were still many places left with endless corpses. Just the basins where the grand battles happened for the legendary guardian monsters were enough to give birth to endless streams of zombies.
Damn! The more brutal one acted in the past quests the harder it would get to deal with the fifth quest.
Was it the retaliation prepared by the system higher ups against cheaters of the other big races? Dudes! You accidentally misfired against me as well! And I wasn't a cheater to begin with, I was just a mere anomaly.
No matter how bitter and unjust I felt, I couldn't change this desperate situation by mere thoughts.
"First things first… It's good I chose to jump here. This place isn't just the biggest place with defences in the entire continent, but also it's the core. With clearing the zombies here and stabilising the situation, I can send out forces to clear the continent bit by bit…"
I muttered to myself while using the huge stock of warriors I gained so far. After all these years of accumulation, saying that warriors were the biggest forces in my entire kingdom wasn't an exaggeration.
I didn't randomly summon them around or else I'd just be freely giving more seeds to these troublesome dudes down there. I selected the central part of this grand city and summoned all of my warriors there.
Like a bomb exploded, the place I started summoning at started to grow in scale and extended to cover more areas fast. The clash between the two sides was already intense from the start.
The sudden appearance of life forms attracted the attention of every single zombie here. Without the need for my forces to do anything, just by being there and breathing was enough to attract all the zombies.
Standing on top of my chariot made me see this overwhelming and unforgettable scene unfolding in front of my eyes.
From far away I could see all the zombies leaving everything they were doing, turning around and moving in tacit understanding towards one direction, my warriors.
If they were just a regular army then they'd move in waves formed out of proper lines. Organisation and order were the most fundamental features of any regular army.
However for such hideous creatures, order and organisation didn't even exist! They came in their fastest speed, driven by their deepest and irresistible desire to devour life.
To them it was like a frantic race. They didn't just run normally and instead they started to clash against each other, climb over others' bodies, and even formed a grand series of mighty looking walls that drove towards one single direction; here.
Seeing this was just like watching a tsunami unfolding and coming towards land. Even the hundred metres height walls paled in front of such grand waves of zombies.
They looked scary, but that didn't pose a threat to me. What the f*ck was the logic behind such a tactic?
"Scram!" without even waiting for them to arrive, I simply moved my chariot fast and came closer to the first gigantic wall. The next moment I used the pulse wave attack of my chariot and sent the wall trembling and crushing on the ground.
What the f*ck was cool about coming at my men in such a way? You looked majestic moments ago with all this grand wall that was drawing closer to my forces.
But with a single punch, the entire wall fragmented and fell to the ground. The zombies fell and crawled over each other, hindering their advance and posing an obstacle to the beyond waves as well.
At the same time, like a domino the rest of the wall started to crumble and fall. A massive rounded hill appeared in this region and it was hundreds of metres above the ground.
"Next," seeing how this simple trick was effective, I didn't stand idle and started moving again. I bypassed the second wave and headed towards the third and used the same attack.
Like this, the entire grand capital was transformed into circular rings of hills that had empty spaces inside. The waves that came crashing at these hills were deformed and lost their momentum, fell into chaos and landed into the ground.
The gaps between these circular hills got covered up with zombies, however it wasn't enough to cross the hundreds metres distance and formed some sort of basins in between the hills.
"Come forth!" As I messed with their mighty and terrifying formation, which was just formed by simple instincts and not intelligence or training, I started to summon lots of my warriors in the basin zones.
This was the perfect moment to start a wide hunt all over this place. The zombies lost their momentum and edge. They couldn't even free themselves from the fall and other zombies crashing down over them.
Only few over the surface got the chance to crave for the blood and flesh of my warriors.
Chapter 1123 Fighting A Giant Zombie
The spaces created in between the huge circular hills turned fast into slaughterhouses for the zombies.
I just flew for an hour, released tons of my warriors in these areas before the tempo of my forces started to take shape.
The zombies were indeed mighty and terrifying, but they lacked one simple and yet crucial element. They were indeed the embodiment of the human wave tactic, however they lacked intelligence.
What was good about having endless numbers but no brain? It wasn't useful, especially against someone like me.
I watched the brutal fight going on here and knew it wasn't going to end soon. The zombies in the wide gaps were already getting slaughtered, yet there were tons of them forming these circular hills.
And there was still more coming from the areas around.
"At least they can hold their ground for now," I knew this was looking good, but it wasn't enough. The entire continent was ushered under the same deadly attacks, and the situation was dire in most if not all areas.
So instead of just waiting on the side, I started to jump over to another location.
The location I selected this time was one of the big basins. It was where a mighty battle once erupted, one of the most brutal ones, the first basin I ever met in this continent.
I still recalled the scenes of fights going on here like the war just ended yesterday. The tall and majestic looking mountains that stood mighty and tall like they were a grand wall were still there.
The repair process of my side worked only over the settlements and places inhabited by the remaining civilians of the Hector race. So it wasn't a surprise that such a far away and desolate place wasn't attended well to.
The signs of the previous battles were still evident and fresh. The grand mountainous wall was still having the deep scars left by the merciless beating and fights that erupted back then between me and the various flying legions of the Hectors.
Seeing this brought many memories back and made me sigh. After all this, after fighting and winning, I still ended up losing a grand number of citizens to zombies.
However this place wasn't silent or calm as it should be. The desolation left after the war ended changed.
Right now the entire ground was filled with an endless stream of zombies. As this place served as a grand battleground with endless corpses and no living people, the zombies seemed to move in daze most of the time.
I arrived at the outer edge of this place and found that till the end of the horizon the zombies kept appearing in my eyes.
"Tsk… Dealing with these places will be more troublesome than I expected…" After flying for almost an hour, I reached this conclusion.
And the source of it wasn't just the obvious advantage in numbers to the zombies' favour, but it was thanks to a certain variable that startled me at first.

As I flew around the place, I recalled the place where the final battle happened. The deeper I flew the denser the zombies became.
However when I jumped to the centre of that last battle, I couldn't help but blink twice and realised how hard the cleaning task here became.
Just in the middle of this entire basin there was a grand lake. The place was already filled with many lakes in different sizes. Before these lakes served as medium, helping my forces to step into the cultivation realm.
However that came on the cost of killing the guardian baby beast living here. And as it was a corpse, it turned under the effect of this damn quest into a zombie!
In front of my eyes, a grand zombie appeared with a majestic building that defied logic. It was almost hundreds of metres tall, with a hundred metre width.
Looking at it made me feel disgusted. Its skin was more emaciated and filled with disgusting blisters.
It was filled with wounds and pockets of pus. Just seeing it made me feel the urge to vomit.
However with such a special form of zombies here, things were doomed to grow to the worst.
The zombies in the central zones were already much denser than any other area I visited before. This wasn't just thanks to the large number of troops sacrificed here, but it seemed this special zombie had some sort of an ability to control many zombies in a wide area.
This wasn't just my guess, but I saw the zombies down below moving in tacit understanding and showing me the miracle of working in order.
This was unheard of! Zombies were supposed to be lacking any intelligence. But with such special zombies here, it seemed they crossed a huge length of development and suddenly jumped in the direction of building up a den.
That was what the zombies down below were doing right now. The ground that was already scarred with the leftovers of the last epic fight and was still recovering had to suffer again.
Piles of dirt were getting evacuated from the ground as an endless number of zombies started digging. In the middle of all this, the grand zombie stood erect with its eyes flickering with dark yellow light.
Tsk! I knew these zombies were going to start dens the moment they controlled a town or city. However this wasn't what was going on here.
Even after constructing a den, the zombies in the region should be weak and unorganised. The subsequent generations of zombies formed from the den should have little improvement, but not to the degree of that big dude here.
With such mere luck and fluke, the zombies crossed such a long distance in the road of evolution and got themselves something great.
Such a grand zombie was on par with the lethal zombie generals I long heard about before in the records. And those would take almost a decade to develop!
That was enough for twenty grades of the quests to pass! That was like meeting a boss of level hundred while I was still in the beginning village.
Damn! Just seeing this monster was enough for me to feel a lot of headache. And this wasn't just the only special zombie that would appear.
I killed four guardian beasts before and managed to tame the fifth one. That meant there were four total special zombies rushing up to construct their dens at the moment.
If this was left untouched, then these dens would develop into a high form dens from the start. That would give birth to a scary bunch of zombies from the early days of this quest!
How damn unlucky I was! This quest was indeed the nemesis of all the strong and outstanding individuals in the past quests.
"Alright… Time to get serious then… Come out!" As things developed this far, it wasn't logical for me to stand aside and wait for the disaster to mature.
The moment I decided, I summoned my deadly fallen gods. "Kill it!" I pointed towards the hill sized zombie in the distance and gave the order.
*Swoosh!* *Boom!*
Just as I spoke, my experienced fallen gods acted. They released their deadly attacks one after another, and rays of deadly energy landed over that zombie.
However something unexpected happened!
"This… It inherited that damn annoying jumping ability of the guardian babies?" my eyes constricted while watching the grand appearance of that zombie disappear from the spot and appear a couple of miles away.
*Rumble!*
However the attacks of my fallen gods weren't that useless. At least they hit the zombies around and created a series of massive explosions that swept clean lots of zombies.
"This is going to be a little hard…" I could only sigh while seeing that slippery zombie jump from one side to another. It was so damn agile even with such a huge body, reminding me of those guardian beasts I fought with before.
Each one brought enough trouble for me before. Dealing with such a hard to catch enemy was time and effort wasting.
Yet I never called my boys back. As they missed that hill sized zombie, they caused enough damage to the surrounding zombies.
"Running around? Then let me hunt down your kin first," as it proved harder to get at that damn thing, I decided to ignore it for now and aim at the surrounding zombies.
Even if it was a fierce general, it wouldn't pose a threat by itself without the presence of all these minions around.
"Kill everything around," I pointed towards the ground, "leave none alive!"
Rounds of attacks landed all over the place in the next few minutes. With each fallen god acting as a nuke weapon, the entire place got bathed fast under unending surges of flames.
I stood in midair looking at all that with cold eyes. I'd never show empathy towards my enemies, especially not towards those zombies.
*Roar!*
Just as the zombies in the seen part of the basin got scorched and burnt down by my fallen gods' attacks, the giant zombie boss seemed to not take it anymore.
Chapter 1124 The Trick Behind The Star Weapons
It roared and suddenly appeared in front of me. All I saw was like a yellow sky was falling over my head before a crashing sound echoed in my ears.
"Damn fierce!" Instead of getting worried, I laughed. The chariot was already protected with an impregnable shield. And all it got was a slap that sent it flying away.
However the attack never dealt enough damage to my chariot's shield to leave a single crack there. I looked at the distance while that zombie kept roaring again, seemingly ready to come at me for the second round.
"Get ready boys, we got a rock to crush," I pointed towards the distance, "be ready… Once it comes, show it some love, will you?"
The moment I said that, I saw that familiar yellow figure pouncing at my chariot again. This time this anomaly zombie monster tried to crush my chariot using its entire body, giving me the feeling it was giving me a bear hug.
"Fire!" without flinching I gave the order, and without waiting for me to say it my fallen gods acted.
The rays of attacks landed and came into contact with that monster in less than a blink of an eye. I waited to see the blood storm, hear the heart curdling screams, but all I felt was a gale of wind passing past my face before crashing onto the ground.
"This…" I established my chariot to fly off again from the deep pit it created with such a hit. Just before I could let it rise for a few tens of metres, another hill-sized yellow shadow appeared and all I saw next was the world spinning all over me.
Dammit! That damn beast was having its fun while getting the momentum from me.
This time I didn't even wait for the chariot to stabilise itself. Without any hesitation I aimed for the direction of the sky and went randomly towards one direction without even caring about the chariot's current posture.
The result? Sure it was as you guessed, the chariot flew upside down for a mile before I suddenly changed its direction, flipped it over, and started flying in a zigzag line.
"Hahahaha! Nice trick bastard!" seeing the monster jumping over and slamming over nothing but empty air at the point I turned around made me laugh.
Did you think you won? Just by using such lame tricks? Dude, I fought five damn slippery monsters like you before and ended up winning!
Flying irregularly without a fixed pattern or direction helped to buy me sometime. "Don't stand idle there, start shooting it!" I noticed my fallen gods were trying their best to not fall off and didn't fire back.
These idiots… They could fly, so why were they concerned about falling?!
The moment my fallen gods returned to fire, I could finally see what was going on exactly with that giant behemoth.
Incredible, the TV Box Everyone Is Talking About: Access All Channels?Smart TV
The attacks of my fallen gods were tyrannical. Even if that grand zombie has thick skin and abnormal defences, it couldn't possibly stop the attacks earlier without being thrown back in the air.
However from what happened back there I got the feeling that it negated all the attacks as if they never happened.
And as I was evading its attacks successfully, I finally got to see the reason behind this.
"Those damn angels…" I clenched my fists and raised my head to the high depths of the sky up above. From there, one ray of light descended to cover up that damn bastard, shielding it from my fallen gods' attacks.
It came as a surprise. I didn't expect the red stars high above to turn into such defensive supportive weapons.
Providing shields to the big zombies? Don't tell me these angels were aware of the presence of these zombies beforehand and made up such an arrangement.
Thinking about it made me realise how hard this task became. I narrowed my eyes while looking at the far distant stars in the sky.
At first I had absolute confidence in dealing with them. They were already crushed before under my fallen gods ultimatum attacks.
However this all changed now. Trying to challenge tens of thousands of star weapons in terms of defence when they held such annoying defensive abilities? That wasn't going to work.
Just watching the attacks of my fallen gods get blocked successfully by a single beam made me drop such an idea at once.
It wasn't going to work. And I just gained another annoying uncontrollable factor in this quest.
The presence of these giant zombies wasn't even in my plans. And now with such perfect defence, I knew the task of taking just a single one turned out to be much harder now.
Should I move and leave them for now? Thinking about this idea for a moment gave me goosebumps.
Each of the guardian monsters turned into a very advanced and mutated zombie. If I gave them the chance to develop their dens, then what I was going to face wasn't just a mere low grade den but a very advanced one.
And that would make the task of retrieving this continent more impossible for me in the long run.
Should I give up on the entire continent then? A flash of idea passed through my mind, recalling something I missed.
"I can't… Aside from the sacrifices I made all this time to get to this continent, the necromancer world is inside this continent. I can't risk losing it, or afford losing my precious world…"
It was hard to make such a decision, especially with such a long fight waiting for me here.
During all these thoughts, I kept my chariot running around in the same irregular pattern. That zombie kept chasing down, yet it couldn't even come closer to me.
But that wasn't good either. During this time, with all the attacks landing on it from my fallen gods, not a single harm came to it.
I knew if just a few attacks passed, then this dude here would fall. However this never happened even for once.
The red stars high above kept giving that zombie cover all the time. I doubted even after staying here for weeks I'd even be able to kill it.
And that was just one of the four. Getting stopped here wouldn't help me at all, instead it'd be me falling in the trap of the enemy.
What should I do then?
The same old idea flashed up again in my mind. "A general without an army is nothing…" This was the main concept I used before when I couldn't deal with that damn zombie.
What was the point of being so mighty and untouchable? Without other weak zombies working for you, this big dude would take forever to lay down its den.
Once I decided, I didn't bother with that damn thing again. "Listen up… Change in plans…" and I started to distribute orders for my fallen gods.
The plan was simple. At first I'd lead them all over the place, clearing all the zombies near this place.
This mission looked easy on the surface. But when I kept jumping around, that damn behemoth didn't slack behind and tried its best to come at me.
It placed more pressure over me, and made it slightly longer to clear all the zombies in the region. For the same reason I didn't summon any of my warriors here or else they'd be killed instantly by that zombie behemoth and would turn into new zombies.
After three hours, the entire place turned upside down. The old scars of the previous epic war reopened and more new wounds surfaced as well.
Yet the result was satisfying. Other than the initial hole that was dug from the beginning before my arrival, the project of building that den got halted.
There wasn't a single zombie in the vicinity for tens of miles around. Seeing this made me nod in satisfaction. "It took me roughly five to six hours to deal with this place. It's time to go back and start deploying my forces around before jumping over."
Even if I dealt a good blow to this grand zombie, this wasn't enough. This dude could teleport all over the place and could reach out to the far away day dallying zombies to bring them over.
So I first moved back to the centre of this region before opening a portal and jumped at it. Just as the portal closed, I saw that huge yellow and ugly body slamming hard against it.
It crashed on itself even before closing. However I already appeared at one of the many entrances of this basin.
"Come out!" The zombies were still lingering in great numbers here. As I summoned millions of my warriors, I left the task of clearing these zombies over to my fallen gods warriors.
It didn't take more than an hour to summon tens of millions of warriors in different locations before finally jumping towards another basin.
Chapter 1125 A Deadly Trap
Even if that grand zombie managed to find its way to new zombie slaves, it wouldn't be a big deal. With my warriors there, the size of zombies would keep shrinking and wouldn't be enough.
And I planned to come back to visit this dude from time to time, just to make sure things were going smoothly on the right track.
[There is a new issue…] As I appeared at the second basin entrance, I started to fly fast while sending the new development news back to my friends.
[... And so if you spotted any abnormal zombie with a grand body just inform me about it, ok? Don't engage, I repeat, don't try to engage]
[Damn! So these stars up there aren't just for attack and also for defence?] the spearhead was the first to cry out after I finished saying my piece.
[Giant zombies? Tell me where and I'll come to help!] Sara was eager to try a new challenge. However, something told me she wouldn't do anything in front of such hard to deal with special zombies.
[Stay put all of you] I stressed over this point again as I added, [And inform me if you found anything abnormal. Don't rush to engage or else your lives might be in danger]
[At least our lord has some senses at last] that jerk! The jumper kept silent all this time just to say such nonsense at the end.
As everyone kept asking me about the details of these zombies, I kept flying at top speed.
I didn't hurry to jump to the place of the second zombie at once. It took a long time to deal with the first one, and god only knew how many zombies were around that second one or what progress the den had reached.
If one of these four zombies managed to build a single den then dealing with it would be pointless at the moment. My only hope would lie within the zombie leaders and elites to intervene and help me awaken the sleeping zombies underneath the dens.
If that was true to begin with.
The distance this time took me roughly five hours to arrive at the centre of this grand basin. Just one hour before reaching there I spotted a large yellow thing in the distance.
Without the need for me to arrive there and confirm it, I knew it was the gigantic body of that behemoth. When I drew closer, I saw the scattered zombies who were originally moving idly were now moving around as if they were organised and well trained teams.
Groups of them were patrolling the area around and I even saw a few teams which went to the outer regions of the basin to recruit more zombies.
The deeper I went the more I saw these zombies work together to move rocks and dirt. When I got close enough, I finally saw the result of their work.
Five hundred in length, two in width, and tens of metres in depth holes appeared in front of me.
Cheap Way to Get All the TV Channels - Is It Really Working?Smart TV
It was filled with tons of working zombies who were digging at a fast pace. On the edge of this hole, other zombies worked to move the dirt and rocks away.
And above all there was the grand zombie who was overseeing everything as if it was the absolute ruler here.
Jerk… Your reign was short and lively but it has ended right now!
"Attack them," I leisurely pointed towards the direction of the working zombies at the ground while seeing that grand zombie move fast with its gigantic body towards me.
It crushed tons of zombies while getting closer, but that didn't even make it feel any hesitation. It wasn't a loss in its eyes to kill a few of its own. After all, they were like ants in his eyes.
As it drew close enough, it started to use its fast blink move. But before its body would vanish from my sight, I led my chariot away while my fallen gods kept the kill running.
This time I didn't even try for once to attack that behemoth. Knowing that it wouldn't work, I made my fallen gods concentrate over the zombies around.
The total number of zombies here was much higher than the first basin. So it took almost six hours from my fallen gods to kill all of the zombies here.
The place all over the hole was filled with dead zombies. It was good to have such a killing machine by my side while I didn't need to do anything but steer the wheel and relax.
The ground was tattered under such dense attacks from my fallen gods. However I didn't care about that. Using the chance, I slipped away from that behemoth and returned back through a portal towards the first place I appeared at in this basin.
Like the last time, this portal got smashed without any suspense. I did my part here and scattered the warriors around, taking me two more hours to finalise my preparations.
"I can't keep avoiding them like this…" There were only two remaining giant zombies in two other basins. However, from the look of it, giving this time wasn't going to work.
The second zombie managed to dig such a deep hole in a few hours. And dealing with the grand number of zombies collected by it wasted more hours as well.
If I did like before and acted cautious, then I was sure the last zombie would finish its digging and have its den ready.
That wasn't going to work… I had to take some risks to clear such a risk.
It was unavoidable. However with my tanky shield and fast moving chariot, nothing bad would happen, right?
"Let's do it!" After repeating the same orders again over my fallen gods, asking them to shoot all of their attacks without any regard, even if we ended up rolling like dice in the air, I finally opened a portal and passed through it.
*Bang!*
The next moment, and just when my chariot appeared at the other side of the portal, I felt like we got slammed hard by a falling mountain.
That bastard was waiting for me there and was ready to take me down the moment I appeared!
"Keep attacking!" as the sky and ground alternated each other in fast fashion, I clenched my fists and shouted this order for my fallen gods.
Even if it looked easy to just aim at the ground, it wasn't that easy at all with the spinning speed of my chariot. After all, the ground and sky were fixed and we were the ones rolling.
*Bang!*
But before the chariot's speed would decrease, another bang came and I felt like the chariot was tossed in the air like it was a small rock thrown away.
What the heck just happened? The giant zombie just attacked the moment I came here, and it shouldn't have the ability to teleport this fast to hit us again.
*Bang!*
Just as I was feeling puzzled and doubtful, another hit came and this time I got a scary and crazy idea about what was really happening here.
There wasn't just a single giant zombie here, but actually there were two!
"Dammit! Bringing the other one over to ambush me? I never saw this coming…" I knew it was going to be impossible to stop the two now. In fact it was already challenging to get myself out of such a deadly trap.
The two monsters kept hitting my chariot one after another. They came without pause and always hit my chariot before its spinning speed got down.
Gradually instead of losing speed my chariot started to spin even faster. The sky and ground started to slowly blend, and I wasn't aware if the attacks of my fallen gods were effective or not.
"F*ck you angels!" as if this wasn't enough, a fierce red beam of light suddenly enveloped my chariot out of nowhere.
It felt like the already white and brown world around me changed colour all of sudden into red. These damn jerks wanted to kill me at this moment, and frankly they were doing a great job at that.
"Come out!" but who said I wasn't without any means to fight back? Yet what I planned to do was going to cost me something in return.
The moment I shouted, I summoned thousands of dragons to my aid. They appeared outside my chariot and I even summoned more warriors to the ground to distract the zombies.
Thinking you got me trapped? Then watch my reinforcements smash this trap of yours into pieces.
In less than a minute, I felt the speed of my chariot fall steadily and I didn't even feel any bangs coming at my chariot.
As I expected, summoning dragons to annoy these two grand zombies worked! They could come at me and hit my chariot like this forever provided that there wasn't a single interruption.
However with my dragons out there, they wouldn't get the chance to aim at my chariot easily. This was indeed a good counter, but it also meant I shouldn't expect much of those dragons and warriors to survive.
Chapter 1126 A Hard Choice To Make
I called ground warriors as these zombies didn't know how to fly. They could just blink and stay in midair for a few moments before blinking again. So if they got interrupted in the process of jumping, they'd fall to the ground.
And like this, my ground warriors would come useful, helping my dragons to keep these zombies busy for the next few minutes.
As for that red beam, I was sure my shield would manage to block it for the time being. Once I got myself out of here, I'd add more energy crystals and gems into the furnace heart of my chariot, replenishing the lost energy.
I have to admit… Such a combo attack was indeed fierce and deadly. It seemed the angels spent lots of time and effort this time to kill me.
But who said I'd fall for this easily?
"Now!" without waiting for my chariot to stabilise, I launched a pulse wave attack all around. I didn't aim at anything in particular, but my instincts told me that it was going to be risky if I didn't use it.
Something was approaching me, and when I used this move, I felt like something got slammed by it. The pleasant surprise that came next was for my chariot to greatly stabilise.
The world around me became much clearer and the spinning became slower. If I knew that using this would help then I'd have used it a long time ago.
Looking around I saw one of the big zombies thrown in the air. It looked as if it tried to sneakily attack me, trying its best to stop my chariot from stabilising.
If it succeeded, then I'd be trapped here for much longer. And with that uneasy feeling I got before, I knew this was going to be repeated for a long time.
Without wasting any more time I controlled my chariot and moved in a zigzag route. As my chariot stabilised more and more, I was able to see the general situation of the ongoing battle.
My summoned warriors were indeed facing lots of pressure. The ones on the ground weren't only fighting one grand zombie that was hard to deal with, but an endless stream of zombies that came from everywhere.
As for the second one, it seemed to escape the ground trap set by my warriors and ended up fighting against my dragons.
But as my dragons were small in number and size, they didn't pose much of a threat to it. That was the reason why it dared to come at me just now.
Looking at the sky, that red beam was starting to fade away. It lasted for a few minutes, and it didn't cause any harm to me but wearing down my chariot's defence energy reserve for a little bit.
However if I got trapped in that spinning sh*t like before, then more beams would rain down at me from high above.
Thinking about taking these weapons down wasn't a good idea. After all, there were lots of defensive star weapons up there.
The star weapons up there couldn't be touched, and the two zombies here were working together to suppress me. In brief, my current situation was indeed desperate.
Incredible, the TV Box Everyone Is Talking About: Access All Channels?Smart TV
I didn't hurry to join the battle and instead I kept flying around. Since I came here, I didn't get to see what progress the two grand zombies had in this place.
And when I finished my tour while escaping the repeated bombardment of the red beams from high above and the constant harassment of the grand zombie in the air, I got to know how bad this place was.
The hole at the previous basin was hundreds of metres in length, width, and depth. It was indeed a huge hole but it wasn't enough to bring forth the inflamed zombie den to this world.
However this wasn't the case here. It seemed the two zombies joined hands together long hours ago. The scale of this den was already miles in length and width, and around a mile in depth.
In brief… This den was already so close from getting finished. Just finishing up a den in such a small time was a feat I never imagined possible.
Dammit! This wasn't just a normal den but one that was built by two grand zombies. It was going to be extremely bad if I left this den untouched like this.
Should I abandon this continent? If this den got completed, then this continent was already done for.
Just the effort taken for me to control this den alone would consume weeks. And I still couldn't find a way to get rid of these two grand zombies yet.
In addition to the high grade zombies born in large numbers from this den, this continent's fate was sealed and doomed to be lost.
After all the hard work I did, after all the grand fights I suffered, should I just accept such fate and cut my losses by abandoning this continent.
Weighing the pros and cons from it, I knew this wasn't going to work in my favour either way. However, fighting to keep this continent was much better than simply abandoning it for now and trying to reclaim it for later.
Zombies couldn't cross water or fly for now. However in the advanced versions of this calamity, and given time for these dens to develop, flying and aquatic zombies were destined to appear.
At this point, the same old threat that I got rid off by taking this continent would resurface again. So retreating and giving up such a continent might look like a strategic and beneficial move right now.
But in the long run, it was a disastrous call.
It was settled when I thought long ahead of this moment. Even if I had to suffer great losses right now, this den couldn't be allowed to be completed.
Making up my mind, I looked coldly towards the two grand zombies.
"Thundering Might!" The first thing I did was to activate my pillar's skill and use it to create a grand place protected by its shield.
I could summon tons of warriors, but without a proper way to protect these, the stars in the sky would get in work and kill them.
It was pointless to fight such an attrition war against such a deadly weapon. So by using my pillar's shield, it was destined for me to give them some sort of protection.
Even if the star weapons managed to crack my shield, I'd easily summon another.
"Go forth…" I started next to roam the place inside and call out tons of my warriors, "kill every single zombie inside, don't step outside," I shouted repeatedly while moving around.
The zombie in the air tried to stop me, but in the end it failed. The star weapons started to shine one after another, raining deadly beams of attacks over my grand shield.
The shield was already covering an area of ten miles at least. Yet it was sturdy enough to sustain the damage sent at it from several star weapons.
In addition to that, another thing that I didn't think about happened, bringing me another pleasant surprise.
The protective shield that kept annoying me vanished! These two zombies were now strangled inside, without much help from those star weapons high above.
It was time to take them down!
"Kill them," I pointed at the two zombies before adding, "focus everything you got over these two and make sure they'd die!"
Even before my fallen gods would start working their magic, I summoned one hundred more. I could summon much more than this, but I didn't.
After all, since the protection coming from high above was abruptly severed, the two grand zombies looked quite distressed and tried to flicker their way away using their blink abilities.
I was lucky that my grand shield was vast to begin with and their abilities to teleport were limited in terms of distance. Besides, the one at the ground was already entangled by lots of warriors on my side.
At first these warriors were having a hard time dealing with all this. However by the deployment of my warriors around, the pressure over the ones in the centre got much lessened.
So they started to fight hard against the big zombie in the ground, making it impossible for it to teleport away.
One was entangled by the ground warriors, and the other was having a hard time dealing with the deadly beams of my fallen gods.
With the one hundred additions of the gods, and providing them with many stat crystals at the spot, this dude was having the worst time of his life.
"Come on… little faster…" even if it was getting hit by such deadly beams it was still getting closer to the edge of my shield. It was clear that this dude was trading such injuries for life.
It was indeed smart, and that didn't align with what I knew about the zombies.
Zombies were dumb creatures, driven mad by their hunger and thirst for blood and flesh of the living.
However these grand zombies proved me wrong. Was what I learnt before about the zombies and their origin right? Was there a possibility for a true zombie race to be buried under the dens?
Were they able to control this disaster? Looking at the smart actions of these grand zombies made me believe more in this impossible scenario.
However right now it was important for me to clear these two unstable factors from the entire board. Then I'd worry later about the authenticity of what I learnt so far about zombies.
Chapter 1127 Teasing The Grand Zombie
The intense fight seemed to be taking long, but in fact it didn't last for ten minutes before the big behemoth in the air was this close from my shield border.
It was really stubborn. It kept withstanding all kinds of attacks and kept jumping forward. Even when part of its gigantic body was missing and lots of ugly looking wounds appeared all over its body, it didn't even slow down its movement at all.
For a moment there I felt like this dude had a suicidal wish or something. However in less than two more minutes, it finally managed to jump outside the territory of my shield and fell fast towards the ground.
*Thud!*
Its immense body slammed heavily over the ground. If not for the instant appearance of the defensive beam the moment it crossed over the edge of my shield, it wasn't going to last for a few more minutes like this.
The attacks of my fallen gods fell and got blocked by that beam. However when I saw the gigantic body of that zombie not moving, I felt slightly relieved.
It wasn't dead yet, but it wasn't far from that. At least it wasn't going to cause me any trouble anytime soon.
Shifting my attention towards the second entrapped grand zombie, I coldly ordered the fallen gods to attack it with everything they got.
During this time, that grand zombie got lots of wounds. It wasn't in bad shape like the one that just escaped, but my men were doing great in kiting its strength down.
*Crack!*
Just as my fallen gods started attacking, I heard this loud cracking noise coming from a certain spot up above. I looked and saw a deep crack appearing at one point at my shield.
Then like it was a virus spreading, more cracks started to appear next. The brutal destructive effect of these red beams wasn't something easy to handle.
Even my grand defensive shield that got the ability to amend itself by absorbing energy from the world around failed to endure the pressure.
"Humph… Thundering Might!"
What was impressive about taking down one shield of mine? With the pillar in my hand, I could summon as many shields as I wanted.
The next moment a giant shield appeared and just placed itself under the one getting cracks. The new shield couldn't integrate with the first one, so in less than a minute the upper shield got broken into pieces.
But it didn't matter anymore. With the second shield in place, there was no way for those angels to step in and help the trapped grand zombie.
Cheap Way to Get All the TV Channels - Is It Really Working?Smart TV
Being entrapped, the grand zombie felt its demise. Its attacks became faster and fiercer, and the lives it took before it fell were enough to clear up half of my forces here.
The shield was a demarcating zone, lining up my territory and separated it from the outside.
So the inside normal zombies were entrapped as well. After watching the grand zombie fall and die, I started to summon more warriors to replenish the ones who died, and gave the orders to all of them to clear this place.
*Roar!*
Just as my warriors were half way through clearing the entire place, I heard a mighty roar coming from outside. The grand zombie stood up after resting for a while, roaring fiercely towards me.
What? Were you mad because I left such deep scars at you? Or were you perhaps angry for losing your comrade?
By its loud roars, the entire world shook as I saw waves upon waves of zombies coming at me from all directions. The scene was really horrifying, but luckily I got my shield in place to protect me and my men.
"Hmm… It seemed like that grand zombie can't build any den out of this spot…" after fortifying the shield with dozens more, I started to notice this point.
The grand zombie was out there, and I was the one entrapped inside. If I went outside, I'd get hit with the star beams and get myself into a great deal of trouble.
With the support from the defensive beams, there was no way to take the life of that grand zombie without using the same trick of my pillar.
If so, then it was wise and better for the grand zombie to retreat, create a distance enough from me and start using its many advantages to dig out another den.
It got manpower, it got support from high above, and it got the entire world all over. Then why didn't it move yet?
There was a single explanation for that. The grand zombie didn't even leave for its life, but it also drove all the zombies around to come and attack the shield helplessly like this.
Such an act meant there was an impatience and urge for that grand zombie to get this zone back under its control. And that also meant it couldn't build any den anywhere else.
It could just go back to the fourth basin and start building there. However the distance between the two basins was already large. Aside from wasting time and risking me getting back at it, there was also the issue of its wounds.
So it had no other way but to try its best to take down my shields and regain control over this zone.
Realising all this made me much calmer. If my enemy was in such an urge and haste, then it was better to stall for time.
I didn't rush to do anything until all of the zombies trapped inside got cleared out.
"See this damn hole? Make sure to cover it up with rocks and dirt," I summoned more warriors to cover up the grand emptiness inside.
After clearing all these zombies, the place looked spacious at last. With the big hole at the centre, my warriors started doing labour work.
This might be something unbelievable to let such strong warriors work as labour men instead of fighting.
In fact there was a good opportunity here. With my shields standing between my men and the zombies outside, they couldn't easily kill these zombies without fearing for anything.
The zombies were rushing over like kids running at candies. Just in one hour, the zombies got stacked on top of each other, covering a space of tens of metres all around.
With the grand size of my shields, this meant there were hundreds of thousands or even millions of these zombies here.
But even with such scary figures, they couldn't even bring down my shields. In addition to that, I kept summoning more shields to strengthen the defences.
As my men started their work, the grand zombie outside seemed to notice this. I didn't work in secrecy or tried even to cover up my intentions.
It was all on purpose. I wanted this grand zombie to see my army stopping the fight and start to cover up the hole.
This hole was so close to turning into a scary den. Seeing all its efforts go into the air, the grand zombie couldn't stand still and started to join the fight itself.
It also kept roaring while slamming its giant deformed fists at the shields. It got strength indeed, but it wasn't enough to shift the tide of this battle.
Seeing this made me grin evilly. It always felt best for one's enemy to dance into one's fingers like an idiot.
I wanted this jerk and the ones behind it to go all out. I wasted lots of time here, and I wanted to completely clear most of the zombies in this basin before jumping back to check over the other two basins.
I also got to visit the fourth basin at some point. It didn't have the support of a grand zombie indeed, but who knew what dirty tricks these angels played there.
To be just sure, I planned to go to the fourth basin once before returning back to check over the other two basins.
I knew I couldn't leave here before stabilising the situation. And that seemed to take a few days at least. It was a good move to clear the threat in these basins.
However it wasn't enough to secure the situation in the entire continent. I recalled many brutal fights that erupted before while I invaded this continent aside from the war over the capital and the basins.
One of the most brutal fights happened when I left Lily and others behind and ventured alone to stab the heart of the enemy and attacked the basins and then the capital.
The fight over there was brutal, bloody, and long. I knew the zombies appearing there would be in huge numbers and the chances of having higher grade zombies were also higher.
But first I had to get rid of the little problem here.
The hole that got dug before was indeed huge! If not for the fact that my shields generated from the pillar were absorbing the energy from the world around and were expanding unceasingly, then the space covered first by the shields wasn't going to be enough.
Chapter 1128 Bad News!
Right now the shields covered an area spanning for tens of miles, slightly over fifty. And under the coordinated work of my warriors, most of this region was dug and the surface got dented down by almost a few metres.
It looked like some giant god punched this zone and left a deep mark here. And that mark was growing deeper with each passing hour.
After half a day, and with the constant work of my warriors, I finally saw the seemingly bottomless pit getting filled and the bottom rose up and could be seen.
Yet there was still close to three hundred metres distance left. I knew it would need almost three hours to get it filled.
"It's time to plan the counter attack…" I turned around and checked the current situation outside.
After all these hours, almost half of the shields were covered with the crazy zombies. If I estimated that millions were already here, then right now the number might even be in hundreds of millions.
That was crazy! But luckily my actions drove that zombie crazy enough to let it summon most of the zombies in the entire basin, if not all.
"I've been provoked enough already… Pressing harder won't bring any good results…" I looked around and decided to call this a day of filling the hole.
If the grand zombie saw there was no hope in regaining the hole after filling it all up, then it might ditch the idea of taking this zone and retreat.
It was enraged now, but turning it into desperation wasn't going to help.
I needed it to keep throwing as many zombies as it could at my path. Like this, dealing with such a headache wasn't going to be hard.
"Attack! Kill any zombie outside without leaving the shield!" as I decided, I started flying around and giving new orders to my warriors.
And I swore I heard many sighs coming from down below. It seemed these warriors didn't feel good working as labour men.
Returning back to the brutal fights was indeed relieving to them. In the next few minutes, not a single one stayed behind to dig anymore and all crumbled all over the edge of the shields and started attacking the zombies outside.
The zombies were in great numbers, but they were separated from my warriors by thick layers of shields.
No matter how they tried, nothing could penetrate through the shields. That made my warriors fight to their heart's content without fearing for their lives.
Yet after circling around the grand battlefield for hours, I realised clearing this place would take much longer than what I initially expected.
The zombies killed looked like a drop in the middle of a grand sea. The zombies kept coming nonstop from outside, looking like there was an endless stream of reinforcements coming this way.
Incredible, the TV Box Everyone Is Talking About: Access All Channels?Smart TV
"Tsk… Even after half a day their number is still growing and not decreasing…" I finally gave up waiting for this place to be cleared.
Looking at the grand zombie hitting the shields with its might, I shook my head in helplessness. That dude was indeed lucky to live longer and not die on my hands at this moment.
I made sure to lay lots of shield layers here before finally taking out my staff and teleporting away.
Staying here was pointless. No matter what, my warriors were well protected and I got nothing to do. Unlike here, there were still lots of places needing my attention.
One of them were the basins, and another was the site of the grand battle near my necromancer world.
During the time I waited there, I kept in touch with everyone. Luckily for me the kingdom's main land was well protected and we didn't lose much.
No one spotted any grand zombie yet. And the places invaded by zombies were now stabilised to some extent.
The large number of forces trained and gathered for years proved to be useful at this point. No matter how we lost, there was still more to come.
The forces scattered all over the mainland of my kingdom were doing great. But at some places there were lots of trouble as well.
Any place that had a grand fight before showed an abnormal number of zombies. One of which was the capital. Another was the place where I got cornered with many races' armies before, the war that ended by trapping my top generals and friends inside an illusion before.
However not a single spot showed a grand zombie. Without the presence of such freaks, the fights out there were all under my control one way or another.
However bad news started to come from the southern continents that I recently acquired.
The three continents that I gained alongside the Texas region next to them were having great trouble in the past hours.
According to the news sent from Lily, a few generals led by Legend were situated there. However they were facing tons of zombies.
I didn't know exactly how bad the situation there was. However, from Lily's last words, I knew it was grave.
That made me hasten my plans here. Staying here and waiting for my warriors to get rid off that grand zombie wasn't going to work.
Lots of things were on stake here. I still didn't have time to enjoy these three continents yet. And here I was close to losing them.
I already was struggling to reclaim the Hector continent. Losing another one wasn't going to work. And there were three as well.
[Tell me something nice] as the south was the region ruled by Selvators, it was better to directly ask Fang for what was going on there.
[It's bad! We are this close from losing control over the three continents down there!]
I frowned. Was it because a huge war just erupted between many races recently? [Are you short of manpower? If so I can find a solution to this]
If it was a problem with the size of armies, then I could easily help. The Selvators didn't have the amazing second Earth world like me. So it was acceptable if they felt pressured by the overwhelming number of zombies.
However what he said next made the hair all over my body stand to no end.
[It's not that! Do you remember when my paragons acted against you? That grand beast that we called here to deal with you and got killed at the end?]
[Don't tell me it turned into a zombie!] Just saying these words made my heart palpitate out of fear.
That beast was indeed bad news. It turned into a pet of mine, but it was indeed something scary.
I knew better than anyone the frightening abilities of my little turtle. If a zombie was born from its colossal body, and inherited its ability, then the situation down there was indeed more desperate than the Hector continent.
Forget about the three continents, even trying to keep hold over a large piece of my kingdom in the south was going to be fantasy.
Sh*t! Just realising this made me wonder if also the colossal dark realm beast I killed at the early stages of the apocalypse was also going to turn into a zombie.
That battle was near New Jersey. I hurriedly sent a word for Lily to check out and waited for her news.
She seemed to be not aware of what was going on there. Even Isac was the same.
I couldn't blame them. After all, my kingdom spanned for tens of thousands of miles right now and there was no way to keep track of every single fight.
I didn't wait for their responses. I already felt bad about this.
The grand zombie in the south wasn't a big problem for now. The distance it had to cross was already enough to buy myself lots of time.
But that one over New Jersey was already close up from my capital. It was an impending threat just like the grand zombies at Hector continent.
Dammit! I clenched my fists and passed through the portal, hurriedly going back to the first basin with cold eyes and murderous intentions.
I couldn't play safe at this moment. All the grand zombies here had to be killed. In the worst case, I would leave the last one battering against my shields for later.
*Boom!*
Just when I arrived at the first basin, a bolt of red beam descended and assaulted me almost instantly. I raised my head and wasn't surprised by such a move.
I knew I was closely watched by the angels and they'd be aware of my intentions even if I didn't openly say anything.
Before coming here I made sure to fill the stove heart of my chariot with tons of crystals and gems. The energy stored inside my chariot now was enough to last it for years!
This exhausted almost one half of my energy reserves in my inventory. But it was worth it. As the red beam descended and I knew there was nothing it could do against my chariot's shield, I instantly moved directly towards the grand zombie in the close vicinity.
Chapter 1129 Fighting A Colossal Zombie
No matter what, the two remaining grand zombies remaining in the first and second basin had to be killed in the shortest duration possible.
Then I had to go directly to New Jersey and check the situation over there myself.
"Thundering Might!" I was going all out from the start. And my enemies did as well.
The next instant my pillar broke free and created a grand shield that left the attacking and defending beams of red light behind. I repeatedly used the skill before finally turning my cold gaze upon the grand zombie.
I didn't think of anything while summoning tons of my warriors. The place here was still filled with many zombies even after the massacre I committed not long ago.
As expected, the grand zombie called forth for tons of weak zombies to help it in building the den. However I wasn't caring about that anymore. That zombie and the other one back there needed to be killed.
"Attack!" I pointed towards the grand zombie and ordered for my fallen gods to attack. The zombie roared, tried to blink and escape, even tried to come at me.
No matter how hard it tried, nothing helped. With the aid of my fallen gods, that grand zombie kept being thrown back into the ground without much suspense.
Every single time it fell, my warriors down there moved and attacked it. They left part to deal with the weak zombies around while trying to get a piece from that grand zombie.
"Thundering Might!" every once in a while I'd replenish the damaged shields with more. Like this the angels stood on the side without any way to help the entrapped grand zombie.
Without any surprise, the zombie fell in less than one hour. Once that zombie fell to the ground motionless, I summoned more warriors before finally leaving here.
I didn't forget to leave behind tons of shields to make sure this place was sealed off the zombies from outside. I didn't look behind as I jumped towards the last grand zombie.
The welcome from the angels was warm and useless like before. The red beam just flashed over my head without any risk at all. The grand zombie tried to come at me as well, however I moved fast the moment I appeared there.
I knew this was all they got to stop me. Without any delay, I used the pillar and created a shield to stop the incoming attack and protection as well, then I summoned my warriors.
In less than one hour, the last zombie fell as well.
Incredible, the TV Box Everyone Is Talking About: Access All Channels?Smart TV
"Like this only the last zombie is alive… And the four basins are all sealed… Sh*t! I forgot about the fourth basin…"
I was lost in the middle of fighting the grand zombies and forgot that I didn't go and visit the last basin. I knew without the presence of the grand zombie there, things weren't going to be bad.
But the formation of a den could be accomplished by using the small zombies as well. Without any hesitation I opened a portal and jumped towards the last basin.
"As expected…" The moment I appeared I was welcomed with a grand scene of endless zombies working non-stop to dig the ground. This time the hole wasn't that huge like before but it was close to the one in the third basin.
Without the presence of grand zombies orchestrating their work, the small zombies found it hard to dig the hole and make the den fast.
And yet that didn't mean they wouldn't succeed. Given enough time, they'd be able to finalise such a task in a few more days.
"Thundering Might!" as I arrived, a red beam assaulted me without any delay. I called for my protective shield first and formed thick layers of it before calling for my warriors.
This time I didn't leave behind small numbers. They needed to kill the zombies and close up this hole as well. I waited there for half an hour before I finally saw the zombies getting routed.
With the shield stopping their retreat path, they couldn't run or wait for reinforcements. My warriors would exterminate them easily and then close this hole in no time.
"Time to check over that battleground over there…" I opened a portal and moved through the portal towards the other end.
During my delay of a few hours, I got no news from Isac or Lily. The two seemed to freak out when they realised that some places inside the kingdom were unreachable.
It wasn't a good thing indeed. However this was expected. I fought tons of grand battles and slain lots of strong monsters. Having these monsters and an endless stream of dead enemies turn into zombies was unavoidable.
I thanked my luck in deciding not to jump over the other worlds before stabilising the situation here. Like this I got a good chance now to cope and adapt.
The moment I went there, I was welcomed with a grave scene that I expected. However the situation was much dire than what I expected.
This place was supposed to be New Jersey city. I fought a bitter fight here when I took over the city.
A grand dark real monster came and it ended up dying under the collaboration of many races. Together we managed to kill it after spending large effort and having tons of twists.
The situation here wasn't that much different. The entire city was already under control of endless zombies led by a mountain sized one.
Seeing this grand zombie that left the other four grand zombies behind in pale made me worry. This wasn't just the last grand zombie that appeared out of a hideous monster I killed before.
And being this close from this one made me realise it would take tons of effort to take it down. Not to mention the moment I appeared there, the angels used their red beams to attack me and another one to defend this giant dude.
To make it possible they seemed to use more than a hundred star weapons up there to shield it. The body of this beast was close to being called a living mountain, with many smaller zombies scattered all over its body.
I still recalled how I took down this beast. We needed to dig deep into its body and look for its scattered hearts.
Not to mention the trip around its body wasn't that smooth. It had the ability to summon small monsters and that seemed to turn into the ability to summon small zombies.
In my eyes, it turned itself into a miniature version of a zombie den. Without the need to inspect every single inch of its body, I knew this monster was covered with hundreds of thousands of smaller zombies.
And watching closer made me see tons of them move down the ground and spread all over the city. The small zombies were fighting hard against whoever remained here from my troops.
Staying alive for all this time was mainly thanks to the help of castles and their support. However this wasn't going to protect them forever.
I knew if that grand zombie decided to take action, then nothing would stop in its path. For a reason it didn't, as if it was enjoying this weird sense of agony and torture spreading all over the city.
*Roar!*
It looked like it was standing idly here waiting for me. The moment I appeared, it roared in such a violent way and that standing still monster started to move.
Even with such colossal body, its speed wasn't something that could be called slow. It didn't care about any building in the city, less caring about other zombies.
It smashed tons of zombies in the ground while drawing close to me. I narrowed my eyes while watching it getting closer. It got bathed under thick red beams of light that turned its ugly looking pale yellow skin into something more pleasant to see.
In my eyes, it looked like it turned berserk. However I knew it wasn't.
"I don't think killing you this time will be that hard…" I paused and didn't hurry to start out the battle.
This was one of my early acquired cities. I didn't want to turn this place into ruins and damage everything here.
So I slowly drew away from the city, tricking this mountain sized zombie to come out of New Jersey.
Just as I waited for it to get out of the city, I finally saw the spot where it was occupying. That damn bastard didn't just call for zombies from its body, it also acted to make the zombies dig underneath it, almost this close from finalising a grand den there.
Seeing this turned my face darker. I planned to draw this monster outside and take my time kiting it down. It got such a grand body that I even doubted fighting it all out for days was enough to kill it.
Chapter 1130 Using A Bomb To Buy Time
However when I saw this huge and deep hole back there, I knew I couldn't do it this way anymore. This hole had to be closed fast, and the zombies all over the place had to be eradicated fast.
If I waited for the colossal zombie to get killed then this den was going to be finished. Taking down a half finished den wasn't like taking a completed one down.
Tsk! This was getting on my nerves!
Gritting my teeth I knew I couldn't continue drawing this mountain sized zombie away anymore.
"Attack!" I called for my fallen gods to start the assault right away. At the same time, I used my Thundering Might pillar's skill to cut any means of support to that behemoth.
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
However, what happened next was beyond my expectations. I saw the deadly beams coming out from my fallen gods which never failed me before to stop their miraculous performance at this moment.
The beams of light did bring damage indeed and they seeped deeply inside the colossal body of that zombie. However this was all. Nothing else happened.
Each single ray landed and penetrated the thick yellow skin with a loud bang then nothing else happened. For a reason, the deadly rays couldn't reach deep inside that behemoth or even cause enough damage like I used to see.
When I looked over the entirety of that zombie, I ended up sighing. That fiendish creature didn't need any protection to shield it from my attacks.
However I never stopped my fallen gods from attacking it. Even if it was a mountain, continuous raindrops were enough to tear it down given enough time.
I didn't dare to get near it as well. My memories of that huge fight against this dark realm monster was fuzzy, but I recalled how dangerous it was to get near it.
As expected, that behemoth was only trying to get near me without using any decent long ranged attack. I knew it was trying to get me closer to it so it would make good use of the close ranged traps and attacks of it.
So as it progressed forward, I kept retreating and leading it out in circles.
The problem of dealing with this behemoth wasn't going to be solved anytime soon. So I shifted my attention towards the huge bottomless pit that endless zombies were working around it even during the fight.
If I hurriedly did anything to stop them, this hole would soon turn into a den. I never really witnessed a real den myself, so I didn't know how long it lacked to come to fruition.
Cheap Way to Get All the TV Channels - Is It Really Working?Smart TV
However, thinking about building a den out of such a grand behemoth was a real crisis. I had to stop it at any cost, I had to.
"Come forth!" as I couldn't deal with that behemoth anytime soon, I kept it slightly away from the city. I then teleported back to the city before bringing forth a grand number of warriors before teleporting back to where that behemoth was.
"Stop it!" As I summoned hundreds of thousands of warriors in a few seconds, I noticed the shining glimmer in the many eyes of that behemoth.
It turned around and seemingly wanted to devour my warriors. If that happened, then aside from losing a good deal of my warriors, I'd also end up replenishing the stocks of that behemoth with elite zombies.
I couldn't let that happen!
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
However no matter how hard my fallen gods tried, nothing succeeded. That behemoth kept moving back to the city, and didn't care about anything else.
"Dammit!" I clenched my fist and started to think about a good means to stop this behemoth. I thought about using the newly developed weapons created by the research department.
These weapons were all grand, but they already lacked the needed firepower to stop such a behemoth.
"Forget it!" I didn't think such a method would work. After surfing inside my inventory and thinking back about all my tricks and hidden weapons, I couldn't find anything of use except for two things.
"It was a long time since I used you…" I held a Libra in my hand, one that I didn't use for a long time.
In the recent fights, I didn't find a strong opponent or tough situation that required me to use this artefact.
However when I was faced against such a behemoth, I had to use the same way I used back then to defeat it.
The Libra flashed and the messages that followed were the same old thing. The soul of that behemoth zombie was weighed and got cursed at the end.
Its strength and attributes were all halved permanently. All the forces following it got weakened as well. The sudden use of my Libra seemed to kick in a sudden weakness in that mountain and forced it to stop.
Seeing this I knew I had a higher chance of saving the day. Without much hesitation I called back all the warriors first, took out a large bone before I started doing something I only did once.
I was going to activate this bone the same way I did a long time before. As I jumped around, I started tempering this bone for a few minutes. During which the colossal behemoth that stood in silence and daze before started to show signs of recovering.
Its body kept shivering and then a ferocious roar came. I didn't know why but I felt the wretched soul of this zombie got reminded of the old pain it experienced under the hands of my Libra's curse.
As it started roaring, it resumed its march again at me.
"Fool! Do you think I'll let you go like that?" The mountain zombie seemed to be enraged by the sudden drop of its strength. However it wasn't aware of the deadly fate it was going to face soon.
Even if it tried to come to me, I kept retreating on my chariot. In fact this wasn't just to buy time for the bone in hand to finish activating, nor was I fearful of that behemoth.
I wanted to clear a path enough for me to get away from the initial blast of my bone. After all it was a dark realm monster bone, one that would turn into a scary bomb once activated.
"Done!" I landed the last touch over it and the bone already shrank in size to be almost close to my fist's. I didn't even hesitate, moved towards an opened portal and then released the bomb. Then I passed again through a portal and appeared hundreds of miles away.
*Rumble!*
Even standing this far away wasn't enough to mask the terrifying explosive sound of that bone. I even saw a bright flash of light coming from that direction.
I knew it would explode and turn into a sea of fire. That fire wasn't normal and would linger for a long time already. So it was pointless for me to go there and inspect it anytime soon.
The sea of fire would cover miles around. I didn't know how much exactly it would spread, and so it was risky just to throw myself over there.
I knew by using this kind of attack I had abandoned New Jersey. But I had no other choice. If I didn't do anything to stop that behemoth, then a scary den was going to be born.
Dealing with such a den was going to be troublesome. Not to mention it was already this close to my capital.
"Next stop is that grand portal fighting place…" I still recalled another ticking bomb near my capital. Coincidentally it was just near New Jersey where I led my armies to fight against a grand coalition army and ended up taking control over a grand portal.
The portal ended up in Wryly's possession back then, a choice that I now deeply regretted. If I could read through the future, I'd never have made such a mistake at that time.
Berserkers ended up ditching this continent and went all the way to the North. They abandoned my kingdom and focused entirely over their interests.
For a reason this didn't seem bad, but when recalling such a grand portal lying useless there, I knew it was a waste.
At least Fang and Selvators were stationed in the South, watching the border of my kingdom.
Jumping over that place and seeing the grand portal hanging in the air without any activity from it made me inwardly sigh and feel more regret.
"As expected, tons of zombies are about to get finished… Those Berserkers are really unreliable… Not even caring about defending what they gained from me, tsk!"
I looked up at the grand portal and decided to acquire it later on. I needed such portals to connect with the portals opened at the other worlds when I'd start invading them.
It was just a waste letting such a grand treasure to rust. As for the zombies down below, they were like grand colonies of ants, all small and endless in number without the presence of any overwhelming grand zombies there.
Chapter 1131 Something Is Wrong!
"Come forth!" without thinking about it, I first let my fallen gods clear a zone before filling it entirely with my warriors.
Without any pause, I went towards another zone and did the same. For the next few hours, I kept clearing zones and spreading warriors all over, turning this place into a brutal battleground.
"Something feels wrong…"
After spending hours deploying a large number of warriors in various zones, I felt like the number of these zombies didn't decrease for a single bit.
It was indeed weird. I was sure I deployed tens of millions across a vast space of this old battleground. However it ended up without leaving a single effect over these zombies.
It wasn't right. I knew lots of lives were lost here, but was it enough to make up for the killed zombies on the hands of my warriors?
Or was there something killing my warriors?
I had to teleport back to the earliest zones I left my warriors at. When I arrived there, I saw nothing out of the ordinary.
My warriors already cleaned a large area and kept their ground. They lost part of their numbers, but it wasn't enough to make up for the losses the zombies suffered.
On the other hand, my warrior's killing speed was indeed efficient. Just in the past few hours, the amount of zombies they killed was enough to form a grand mountain.
But seeing this didn't make me feel any happiness. Instead I was feeling more gloomy and worried about the reason behind the stable number of zombies.
I counted back, and I found that I scattered at least twelve large groups of warriors like this one. If things went right, then this was enough to get rid of the zombies and make their numbers dwindle.
But in fact that didn't happen. And that made me turn my eyes towards a certain direction; the centre of all this.
I scattered the warriors around in a huge triangle, surrounding this huge war zone.
The central zone was where that grand portal lay, and it was where the last huge battle happened. I tried to recall, but I couldn't remember if the number of forces falling here was really in the tens of millions or not.
However this didn't seem likely. This battle happened at the early stages of the apocalypse where my forces weren't that big enough to handle tens of millions.
And the enemy never had the chance to summon such a number as well.
"Time to roam this place again," as I knew something was amiss and I lacked any clear understanding of it, so I decided to start searching by flying around.

The dark realm bone I activated before was enough to keep burning for days.
I refused to believe that the colossal zombie would still be in one piece after this hit. And knowing I couldn't go there and explore the zone for days, I could focus more on other dangerous spots in my kingdom.
So I started flying around while I looked for any clue about what went wrong.
In fact I didn't need to look for so long. Just after ten hours of flying around, I came upon the source of this problem.
What lied in front of me was something unbelievable! I was already at the central part of this old battleground.
A grand portal was hovering on top of this place, exuding flashes of light. With each flash, tons of monsters would be gushed out from it on the ground.
Before this, and when I inspected this grand portal again, nothing like this happened. This portal should have been under the control of Berserkers.
So what exactly happened here? Why was this portal gushing out such an endless stream of monsters?
What happened next was expected. The monsters once arrived got a grand welcome from the zombies all over the place. In mere seconds, hundreds of thousands or even millions of new zombies were formed.
This place turned in such a way to become like an active den. The portal served to provide new blood to replenish the great losses zombies suffered all this time.
So this was the main source of this problem. I furrowed when I looked at this grand portal. If it was before, I could simply go over there and work my magic to control it.
However, just as the portal was flashing with light and provided endless monsters for the zombies to turn, it was also protected with a thick veil of red beam coming from high above.
The angels… They already provided protection for it!
"Should I use another bone then?" I contemplated this before discarding the idea. If I went around and used my already rare dark realm bones to exterminate all the hot zones in my kingdom then I'd end up exhausting my reserves.
And without a good source for these bones, I couldn't risk losing too much of them.
"Fine… You used such a dirty trick to counter my attack, let me play along with you then… Come out!" This seemed like bad news for me. However if I couldn't crush that portal for now, then I'd crush the zombies around using my warriors.
Without the zombies around, throwing tons of monsters here wasn't going to work.
By simply killing all the zombies around and establishing a protective shield and a large number of protecting warriors, these monsters were going to be sent here without any benefit.
In fact I didn't fear facing monsters, on the contrary I preferred dealing with them than dealing with zombies. At least these monsters didn't have the ability to turn my dead warriors into monsters.
I first used my Thundering Might pillar's skill repeatedly. A thick layer of many shields overlapped over each other and defended this zone.
Then I took tons of my warriors and released them around. I didn't stand out and also circled the area. Using my fallen gods and other warriors operating on my chariot's different weapons, hell rained on top of many zombies and monsters without differentiation.
After just half an hour of the beginning of this onslaught, at least one tenth of the entire zombies and monsters here were taken out already.
"It's time to deal with you," I knew I cut off the defending laser beam coming from high above for now. So this portal was ready to be taken under my control.
"Stay away, you fiendish human!" Just when I got closer, I heard a roaring shout coming from the other end of this grand portal before a grand hand moved and slapped my chariot like it was a fly.
This happened all of sudden and without any warning. I got most of my attention over the ongoing battle around and the shields preventing the destructing and defending beams of rays to penetrate through.
All I felt was for my chariot to be sent hard and far away while spinning. At the same time I saw many cracks appearing all over it.
The simple slap was mighty enough to send my chariot far away, far beyond my shield's protection.
*Boom!*
And when that happened, it seemed like these angels were waiting vigilantly for such a mistake and rained my chariot with a series of red beams that kept chasing after my chariot.
"Damn fierce!" I didn't even wait for my chariot to stabilise while moving it in the zigzag course. This helped to save it from the impending danger from these beams.
If it was another time, then I wouldn't fear these beams. But after suffering such a grand hit from that arm, the shield was already on the verge of cracking and breaking down.
Given enough time, my shield would regenerate and heal itself. It wasn't just a matter of stored energy, but it was a matter of speed of recovery.
If I left my chariot being hunted down like this by red beams, then things would take an ugly turn. So it was better to escape the impending fall of these beams for now.
*Rumble!*
Just when my chariot regained control and stood erect and firm, I heard a frightening rumble coming from inside my shields.
Looking up there made my scalp numb! That hand which sent me flying for miles earlier was now extending itself and hitting fiercely against the thick layers of shields around.
With each simple wave, a few shields got smashed down without any resistance. It looked like that huge arm was peeling my shields like a knife peeling an onion layer by layer.
I had to get back right now or else everything I did there would be lost.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Just as I was moving my chariot in an unexpected route to evade the falling red beams, something unbelievable happened.
All over the part of the grand shield facing me, layers of red beams fell and formed such an impregnable layer of red carpet that stood between me and the inside of the shields.
Chapter 1132 Something Weird Is Happening
I looked up and saw hundreds of star weapons shining at the same time while releasing their beams. I clenched my fists and couldn't resist the urge to curse and shout out loud:
"Damn bastards! What happened to the time lapse needed to activate these freakish things? F*ck all of you!"
It was really a dirty cheat! These angels seemed to do something with these star weapons and they could now activate them on a whim.
I didn't know how much they had to pay to activate them in such a way. However, considering how much went on in the apocalypse so far, and recalling the huge number of angels gathered when the fifth quest started, I knew they could keep doing this for a long time.
But that didn't even stop me for a single moment. I controlled my chariot and threw it in the middle of the burning furnace of these star beams. The path wasn't smooth and I could already hear loud bangs of sizzling coming from my chariot's shield.
It didn't take more than a few minutes to pass through these beams. For a reason, this condensed curtain of deadly light was able to stall the advance of my chariot and meddled with its flying speed.
*Katcha!*
Just when I was able to get out from such an intense layer of defence, I heard a loud rumbling noise followed by the destruction of my protective shields.
And then many things happened next that made my face drop.
The first was for the defensive beams raining down from the sky accompanied by many destructive red beams forming a forbidden circle around that grand behemoth.
Then I saw the grand arm retract, but it didn't vanish inside that portal. For a reason it moves unhindered through the thick red beams surrounding the colossal zombie.
I saw the grand arm stretching out and catching that colossal zombie as it was nothing. When it was carried over I finally got to see how enormous its body was.
Calling it a mountain was an understatement. But that wasn't the issue right now. When that arm carried this zombie like it was a mere toy, it started to retract back inside the grand portal.
Was it trying to rescue it? Was this zombie this special?
At the same time, I noticed an abnormal movement at the ground. When I casted down my protective shields here, the endless zombie armies got separated from each other.
And with the help of my fallen gods and other warriors, the number of the remaining zombies inside the ball shaped shield was getting smaller by each passing minute.
Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain!Smart TV
Yet that all changed the moment the shields got broken. I saw endless zombies racing up inside, and something peculiar happened.
The zombies seemed to not see my warriors on the ground! For the first time ever, and against everything I knew about these zombies, I saw them ignore the living around and move in such hastened steps towards one direction.
Standing high above the ground gave me a better view over the course they all selected. They were all going towards the zone below the grand portal. And seeing this made me feel bad.
Something bad was going to happen. And even if I didn't get a head or tail about it yet, I was quite sure that the zombies running down like crazy had a crucial role to play in such a scheme.
"Kill them!" without much hesitation I pointed towards the direction they were all heading towards while moving my chariot forward, "keep firing and don't let them draw near there!"
At the same time I held my pillar and shouted with skill. A grand shield appeared, yet before I could even have the time to summon another one, another arm extended and punched against it.
*Rumble!*
"Screw you! Thundering Might! Thundering Might! Thundering Might!"
Seeing this made me go insane! I instantly fought against this unbelievable arm with repeated usage of my skill.
Yet as I did that, with each shield getting in form, a single punch was needed to crush it down. After a few minutes, all of my shields were destroyed and I couldn't even summon a single one to cut these raining beams down.
But doing this seemed to draw some of the other mysterious beings on the other side of this grand portal. The speed of the other hand catching the grand zombie seemed to grow slower.
And at the same time, my fallen gods and other warriors down there did a good job in killing and killing most of the zombies who arrived below that grand portal.
At least one part of this scheme was getting fouled by me. I kept summoning shields as this proved worthy.
*Rumble!*
After half an hour, the colossal zombie finally was taken into the grand portal. I watched the other arm give up over smashing my shields and helped the first one to pull the behemoth through the portal.
For a reason the one on the other side of the grand portal was trying his best to save this grand behemoth. If I had time and ability, then I'd prefer to cut that colossal body into shreds and kill it before getting into that grand portal.
However I lacked such power. And so all I could do now was to focus more on the zombies in the ground and keep them away from the portal.
When the other hand gave up on smashing my shields, I finally managed to lay down many layers of these shields successfully.
"What's going on?!!" When I finished laying down tens of my shields, I finally got the moment to check over things happening at the portal.
The protective and offensive red beams were cut short by my shields. Yet when I looked at the grand portal, I noticed a new change there.
The portal was pitch black in colour before. However right now it was shimmering in a weird red light. The intensity of that light wasn't any inferior to the red beams falling from the sky.
Was it a new way to create a star weapon? Upon closer inspection, I saw that the part of that colossal zombie that went through the grand portal didn't really pass through it.
In fact it was getting smashed against the portal. For a reason it felt like the portal was absorbing the colossal zombie and getting tainted by its blood and organs.
That was why it started to shine in such bright red light. When I noticed this, and as I was trying to get a clue about what to do, I heard a sinister laugh coming from the portal.
"I have to admit, you did a great, weak fly. But like flies, no matter how annoying you buzzed, you'll get slapped to death at the end. Watch your demise, pretty boy, and see how futile your struggles are… Hahahahaha!"
For a reason, that voice seemed quite familiar. But I couldn't recall when or where I heard it. Just before I could guess the origin of that voice's owner, a blast of red light suddenly clouded my vision.
In a reflex, I moved my chariot further to the back until the light became bearable. To my surprise, I found myself standing outside the border of my shield zone.
Inside all was getting blinded by intense redness that I never saw before. At first the red light came from the grand portal. But in mere seconds, the entire zone covered by my shields were all filled with this deadly looking red light.
At the same time I noticed something weird. The red light was really intense and dangerous, but it never took a single step outside the coverage of my shields. For a reason, my protective shields seemed to demarcate its area of activity.
"Is this all? Is this what you got?" I harrumphed and put on a mocking face. However I was deeply frowning deep inside.
When I just tried to extend my hand inside and get a taste of this weird light's power, my hand got banned from getting inside.
These were my own shields, created by my pillar's skill. I tried to touch it with my pillar but the same thing happened.
It looked like my connection and control over these shields got severed. And as I got such shocking news, I tried to pry deeper onto my enemy's scheme by mocking him.
"Hahahaha! Don't celebrate yet! It's too soon to feel reassured and relieved…" and before he could say anymore, a frightening roar erupted from the depths of this dangerous light.
I narrowed my eyes and tried to see through the thick veil of this redness with no avail. At the same time, a weird sense of danger overwhelmed me.
After a long time in the apocalypse, I never felt something like that. I lived through many ordeals, and passed them all without fail.
Yet this feeling of danger reminded me of when I was weak and tried to get to my class. I was truly weak, and I had to compete against much stronger foes back then.
