Chapter 1 The End

Rumble!

Rumble!

Explosive roars echoed continuously across the battlefield of the T-119 defense line. Heavy missiles and the fireballs of the Star Apostles streaked across the sky, leaving behind a landscape littered with corpses and rivers of blood!

The roars of the sea beasts were savage and terrifying.

Human soldiers roared back, defending their last vestige of dignity with their lives.

These scenes painted a picture called "Doomsday."

Large numbers of sea beasts had already scaled the scarred city walls, using their teeth and claws to grip the stonework as they rapidly climbed upwards.

Human soldiers stood atop the walls, wielding machine guns, RPG rocket launchers, and other individual weaponry, ceaselessly bombarding the creatures below to prevent the tide of beasts from reaching the summit.

A siege, once the enemy breached the walls, almost certainly meant the fall of the great city!

"F*ck your grandma..."

"Kill! Kill them all!"

The soldiers on the wall were ferocious, veins bulging on their foreheads as they roared madly, bullets spraying from their gun barrels like a torrential rain, falling upon the tide of beasts below.

A giant beast was blasted apart on the spot, its body plummeting down.

Before its remains even hit the ground, three more sea beasts surged up from the spot where it fell.

They were endless! More and more!

This was the most direct and visceral feeling the human soldiers had when facing the tide of beasts.

"Boom!"

Another fireball descended from the sky.

"Get down!"

"Evade! Evade!"

A shrill cry rang out, but the next second, the fireball exploded directly above the city wall. A dozen soldiers at the epicenter were instantly vaporized, and even the steel guns in their hands disintegrated in the intense heat and energy of the explosion.

But the destructive power of the fireball did not stop there. After the explosion, countless head-sized flames sprayed out in all directions like fireworks, igniting the bulletproof vests and uniforms of some soldiers on the spot.

Dozens of human torches instantly appeared on the wall!

The surrounding soldiers immediately began trying to save them, but they soon discovered in despair that the Star Apostle's flames seemed to possess a strange magic, making them difficult to extinguish. The flames seemed to cling to the burned soldiers, burning through their flesh and into their bones!

"Aaaah!"

"It hurts! It hurts!"

Miserable howls echoed across the wall. No one could endure such pain. Some aimed their guns at their own heads and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, ending a life and ending the pain.

Bang, bang, bang!

Successive gunshots rang out as soldiers, unable to bear the sight of their comrades suffering such torment, ended their lives in agony.

The brutality of the war was evident.

But this was just an insignificant corner of the great city's battlefield. Across the dozens of kilometers of city wall defense lines, countless equally cruel and tragic scenes were playing out.

Some emptied all their bullets and, drawing their steel knives, jumped from the city walls into the tide of beasts, instantly swallowed up!

Some were ambushed by Beast Kings with flying abilities, grabbed into the air, and dropped directly down, only to be caught by several more flying Beast Kings and torn apart. Their mangled bodies were tossed back and forth like balls!

Anyone could see that the human defenders had no chance of victory. They were using their flesh and blood to build a wall, slowing the tide of beasts' advance.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Inside the great city, a large number of missiles were launched simultaneously, raining down upon the beast hordes.

But the effect was not significant. Aside from wiping out some low-level mutated beasts, the subordinate-level followers and Beast Kings suffered little damage.

"That giant ark has landed... less than ten kilometers from the defensive city wall."

On the battered city wall, a soldier observed the battlefield through binoculars, dodging the spraying fireballs as he shouted, "Based on our estimations, the ark will directly impact the great city in at most ten minutes!"

These giant arks, which gathered the essence of ancient civilization technology, possessed terrifying destructive power. Although their technological weapons had yet to be unlocked, their sheer size, comparable to a continent, gave them earth-shattering power with just a simple collision.

Although this defensive great city was built using the most advanced technology and materials in the world, its strength was absolutely incomparable to that of the giant ark.

"Ten minutes..."

Someone whispered in their heart, "Will everyone's life end in just ten minutes?"

The six ancient civilization races each created unique architectural miracles, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

The giant arks possessed by the Marine Apostles were enormous. Although they possessed "sea, land, and air" travel capabilities, it was clear that their speed on land and in the air was far inferior to their speed in the ocean.

Their enormous size allowed them to generate more terrifying power upon impact, but at the same time, it also meant greater energy consumption during movement. When the giant ark traveled on land, it lost the buoyancy of the sea, and its propulsion engines needed to consume three times more energy than usual!

And it was very slow, extremely slow!

When traveling on land and in the air, the giant ark's maximum speed might not even be comparable to that of an ordinary gasoline-powered car, but once it entered the sea, it could reach speeds exceeding supersonic.

The same principle applied to the Sky Castles, which could travel at supersonic speeds in the air, but their speed in the ocean and on land would be greatly reduced.

Even the technologically advanced ancient civilizations, before reaching Tier 1 civilization, could not create a technological ark with the ultimate advantages of sea, land, and air at the same time. Given their level of civilization, they could only choose one advantage and abandon the other two!

This might be one of the reasons why the Marine Apostles had hesitated to bring the giant ark onto land for so long. They could not confirm whether there were any hidden cards within the defensive great city. Once they rashly brought the giant ark onto land and were ambushed or outmaneuvered by Li Tianran, it would be very difficult to escape back into the sea!

But now, after seeing the near-total annihilation of the Northern Border Legion and the chaos within the defensive great city, the Marine Apostles were finally convinced that there were no more hidden cards in this great city that could resist or counter the ark. Therefore, they no longer had any reservations and prepared to activate the ark to deliver the final destruction to this great city.

"Let's end this farce after all..."

The Star Apostle stood among the tide of beasts, staring at the ruined great city before him, watching the soldiers on the wall who were still fighting bloody battles. His scarlet tongue licked his lips, revealing a connoisseur-like expression of appreciation. "Resilient, unyielding male creatures, their flesh is the most tenacious and chewy! I really want to rush in and hold a feast now..."

The Star Apostle smiled brightly on his delicate face and stretched lazily.

"So tired... I really want to eat some people and kill some people to relax!"
