"Brother, are we going to kill monsters too?" Jin Ling asked, her eyes red.

Their parents had been driven from place to place because of monsters, leaving them with all kinds of illnesses. Then, as their relatives passed away one by one and their emotions fluctuated, those illnesses had erupted and taken their lives.

Strictly speaking, monsters were the enemies of their family.

"Yes, we are." Jin Yu stroked his sister's hair, soothing her emotions.

The monsters had to be killed, but completely resolving the problem was beyond his current strength.

There were simply too many monsters across the entire Earth. Moreover, they had to guard against the monsters going berserk and attacking cities, causing massive civilian casualties. Large-scale extermination was simply impossible.

The current approach was merely to rely on Warriors to keep hunting them, using a slow blade to control the monster population and maintain the balance.

"After watching the beast tide, I'll go find Babata." Jin Yu had already made up his mind. To solve Earth's problems once and for all, he had to enter the universe as soon as possible.

"War Gods." A voice came from Jin Yu's communications watch. "I am Li Dawei. I am Li Dawei. We will reach the frontline position in fifty seconds."

"There are countless Sea monsters ahead. War God-level experts, please enter the frontline position and assist the military in resisting this beast tide. Only War Gods equipped with the Black God Set may attempt to enter the monster horde and attack."

"Arriving at the position!"

As the voice sounded from the communications watch, Jin Yu softly said, "Xiao Ling, wait here for me."

"Okay." Jin Ling pursed her lips and nodded. Hatred and worry intertwined in her slightly reddened eyes, leaving her conflicted. She wanted to avenge their parents, but she was also worried about her brother's safety.

"Don't worry. No one on Earth can threaten my life yet." Jin Yu stood up confidently, battle intent boiling from his body.

Whoosh!

The hatch opened, and Jin Yu, dressed in a White Suit like some young nobleman, shot out through the air. The hatch of the Golden Dragon Fighter Jet closed again, and it hovered in midair.

One saucer-shaped fighter jet after another rapidly descended into the frontline base below. This frontline base stood over a section of the Huangpu River that had been completely blocked off with massive amounts of rock, reinforced concrete, and steel, upon which an enormous small War base of steel and concrete had been constructed!

Thick cannon barrels gleaming with a cold light extended from one firing port after another.

"This is a Level 1 Beast Tide!" Jin Yu hovered in the air, looking down from nearly a thousand meters above, utterly stunned.

As a major passage for countless Sea monsters from the East Sea region to attack inland, the Huangpu River had been assaulted relentlessly by Sea monsters for decades. Its width and depth had long become even more astonishing than before the Great Nirvana Period! No one knew how many aquatic monsters lurked beneath the surging Huangpu River.

That War base had blocked off the entire Huangpu River!

Preventing them from passing through!

And at this moment—

Rumble rumble rumble! It was as though the heavens and earth were collapsing, with cannon fire shaking the sky.

Countless aquatic monsters filled the sky as they either launched themselves from the Huangpu River or rapidly crawled out. There were savage Arthropod monsters, Reptilian monsters most familiar with land, bizarre Cnidarian sea monsters and Echinoderm sea monsters, as well as the most numerous Fish monsters blanketing the heavens!

Sea monsters were more than ten times more terrifying than land monsters!

First, their numbers were unimaginably vast. Second, their abilities were incredibly bizarre!

Take Arthropod monsters, for example. Before the Great Nirvana Period, thousands of species of shrimp and crabs had been discovered in the ocean alone. Including unknown species, there were probably tens of thousands! After mutation, shrimp, crabs, and similar monsters had reached astonishing numbers. There was no need even to mention the other cnidarians and echinoderms.

Humanity had estimated that before the Great Nirvana Period, there were more than two million species of marine life!

What about now?

After the Great Nirvana Period, no one knew!

They only knew that there were far too many terrifying monsters of every kind. The many island nations of the past were cautionary examples. Not a single country dared underestimate Sea monsters.

Whoosh!

"They're even more terrifying than I expected." Jin Yu was deeply shocked by what he saw. It was truly difficult to imagine how their forebears had held on and established these Base cities back then, without the weapons they had today.

Jia Yi and the others had given far more than he had imagined.

Swoosh!

Jin Yu's gaze turned cold. Twenty Flying daggers hovered around him, while he carried a small bag filled with large numbers of Flying daggers. He dived down, but his target was not the monsters. It was the soldiers' base at the very front line.

They had looked densely packed from high above, but the sight became even more shocking as he descended. Vast numbers of Fish monsters leaped twenty to thirty meters into the air from the Huangpu River, baring rows of sharp teeth. They could even crush reinforced concrete in their jaws!

"Luo Feng, Lei Meng, please kill some Lord-level aquatic monsters that have made it ashore." Li Dawei's voice sounded from the communications watch.

"Lord level?" Luo Feng looked down.

At a glance, he spotted an aquatic monster roughly fifteen or sixteen meters long, with a huge turtle shell on its back. Its enormous shell was covered in protrusions that glinted with dark gold. Its head resembled that of a dinosaur, with a hard skull and a black horn growing from it. No one would doubt the power of its serrated maw.

It moved rapidly, not daring to pause for even an instant.

"Can't lock on. It's moving too fast." On a high-rise building a thousand meters away, an operator at a Laser cannon position anxiously said, "These Lord-level monsters have all become cunning. Once they've suffered a loss, none of them stops for even a moment after coming ashore."

No matter how fast a Laser cannon was, it still required a human to press the button and issue the command!

With the time needed for human neural reactions and pressing the button, there was simply no way to target them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Shells fired from cannon muzzles over 100 millimeters in caliber bombarded the frontline madly. The roughly two hundred meters of land between the water and the actual base had become a sea of fire. Countless aquatic monsters charged forward in a frenzy, while the colossal War base poured out cannon fire without restraint!

Swoosh!

A black shadow flashed like lightning through the endless horde of Sea monsters.

Bang! Boom!

Under the overwhelming barrage of firepower, many large-caliber bullets struck his body. Even shells came hurtling toward him, only to be bent away by an invisible force and smash into the shell of a Crab monster rampaging nearby, blasting steel fragments everywhere. Yet the black shadow did not slow in the slightest.

"Die!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Six cold blade lights spun through the neck of the Giant turtle monster charging toward the War base. Like slicing an apple, they severed the grotesque head of that Lord-level Sea monster. Its enormous body continued forward on inertia, knocking away many other Sea monsters before finally falling still.

"Good!" "Amazing!" "Inspector Luo really is incredible!" Many people inside the War base shouted in delight.

Boom! Splash!

At that moment, a gigantic serpent-like monster slammed into the War base. The walls of the base shook violently. Already riddled with holes and cracks, the walls trembled again as large chunks of concrete fell away. Yet at that exact instant—

Without a sound!

A dazzling White light shot from one of the towers inside the War base.

The Lord-level giant monster had no time to evade. It was directly pierced through and burned into nothingness!

Laser cannon!

However, as that Lord-level serpent monster rammed into the city wall, it also unleashed its strongest electric attack! Crack! A twisted bolt of electricity suddenly spread out, even racing through several firing ports and into the base. If that terrifying electric current spread unchecked, it would undoubtedly cause many casualties within the War base.

"We're finished!" A flicker of despair crossed the minds of countless soldiers in the base, but there was nothing they could do.

Yet after waiting for several seconds, the soldiers in the base discovered that their bodies had all been covered in a layer of golden light. Everything around them was dazzling gold.

"Is this what death feels like? I didn't expect it to be golden. Are we going to heaven?" Some soldiers muttered to themselves.

But before they could continue experiencing it, the golden light vanished.

"Good thing I reacted in time and intercepted the lightning." Only after Jin Yu felt his domain break down the serpent monster's attack did he finally let out a breath.

At least dozens of lives had been saved.

"This is only one corner of a single beast tide. How many soldiers have been sacrificed over the years to protect this land?" Jin Yu's heart trembled as he considered it.

For their families, for the people, they had given far too much.

"Hmph! Agreements? Threats? Every rule is made by the strong! Starting today, I, Jin Yu, will shatter this damned Chaotic world!"

He no longer thought about the plot or worried about anything else. Jin Yu's Eyes were now so cold, so icy. He would not allow another life to wither before his eyes! He then turned into a Golden Flowing Light and crashed into the River surface.

His resolve to grow stronger became unshakable at that moment. His will surged sharply, and his state of mind reached the First level: Seeing one's true nature.

"Whoever dares stir up a beast tide, I'll kill them! Even a Beast Emperor has no right! I said so!" Endless Killing desire appeared in Jin Yu's eyes as Mental power surged forth, merging into his domain to begin slaughtering.

Without pursuing the utmost attack power, he controlled more than a hundred Flying daggers within his domain. He became like a massive tornado of Flying daggers, bringing an ultimate Feast of death wherever he passed!

Squelch!

Squelch!

The sound of a Meat grinder shredding flesh rang without end.

The entire battlefield fell silent as everyone watched that tornado, like a Death God.

Like a god.

Chapter 10 and 11 were blocked. They covered the plot of Luo Feng taking office as Supervisor Envoy. It doesn't matter much, and I'm applying to have them restored. It won't affect the later plot.

Basically, Jin Yu went to see the Son of the Plane, but they did not communicate in depth. Then he followed Li Dawei's lead and went to the war front.
