Thank You

"It was like a yaksha stepped straight out of mythology!"

Though the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon before them was humanity's enemy, it had to be said that due to genetic mutations, many Monsters seemed as though they had stepped out of myth.

After the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon appeared, the entire horde of sea Monsters grew excited and launched another fearless assault on the base.

Even though the human side deployed large numbers of incendiary bombs once more, they still could not extinguish the enemy's intense desire to seize the base.

"We can't wait any longer!"

Watching the still-ferocious sea Monsters, Dong Nanbiao knew he could not wait any longer.

They had planned their strategy before the battle: first use human weapons to weaken the Monster Lord's strength, then have Dong Nanbiao, a War God, step in.

Unfortunately, no one had expected this invader to be the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon, a High Lord.

Without being able to use nuclear weapons, dealing with a High Lord Monster would probably require launching an enormous strategic bombing campaign.

After all, these High Lord-level Monsters were not idiots. They would not just stand there and let themselves be bombed, and the base currently did not possess that level of firepower.

Moreover, to defeat a High Lord or above, at least a War God Level existence was needed to restrain it in order to achieve the intended result.

"Nanbiao..."

Watching Dong Nanbiao charge out directly, the commander-in-chief was briefly at a loss for words. Facing a High Lord head-on without first weakening it with missiles, he could probably only use his life to hold it back.

"Monster, come on!"

As a martial artist below the Planetary Level could not fly, Dong Nanbiao gripped his weapon and sprinted toward the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon like a heavily armored tank.

Every kind of sea Monster he encountered along the way was felled with a single axe strike before a War God Level existence.

And after noticing the Lord Level existence on the other side, the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon had no intention of retreating and sending its underlings to wear him down. It charged forward as well.

"Take this axe!"

Having crossed through countless sea Monsters, Dong Nanbiao suddenly leaped into the air. His bloodthirsty giant axe carved a half-moon of blood through the sky as it viciously cleaved toward the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon ahead.

As a High Lord, the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon could not use weapons, but a Monster's body was its finest weapon.

Sizzle...

The Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon thrust forward its upper fishlike body and directly took Dong Nanbiao's axe head-on with its own body.

Its incomparably hard scales collided with the Kro Alloy weapon, producing a harsh grinding sound.

His attack had struck the target, but Dong Nanbiao could not feel happy at all.

That was because the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon's scales were not only incredibly durable, but also slick and slippery, causing his entire body to slide downward uncontrollably.

However, with Dong Nanbiao's power as an Intermediate War God, combined with a twofold burst of strength, the impact of several hundred tons still directly knocked back the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon, which had taken the blow head-on.

Roar... Cry...

Furious at being driven back by a mere human who was a whole tier weaker than itself, the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon immediately unleashed its Innate Ability.

Tiger Roar, Dragon Cry!

A sound both tiger-like and dragon-like rang out. The roar, which carried both sonic and mental attacks, indiscriminately struck every living thing around it.

The first to have their minds and heads shattered were the Monsters beside the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon. Yet as a Lord, it did not care in the slightest. Strength had granted it decent intelligence, but not the corresponding moral emotions.

Boom...

Dong Nanbiao on the other side also took the attack head-on. His brain felt as though it had been savagely struck by an iron hammer, and thin streams of blood seeped from his ears.

Yet his past experiences and the tempering of the Great Cataclysm had forged Dong Nanbiao's will into something unbreakable. He forcibly steadied his mind through sheer willpower.

"Not strong enough!"

Dong Nanbiao laughed wildly as he stepped on the back of a crustacean Monster. The mud-filled ground was unsuitable for a martial artist to fight on, yet he charged at the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon once more without hesitation.

While Dong Nanbiao battled the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon, the base's army on the other side did not stop either.

Massive amounts of firepower continued pouring onto the various sea Monsters, while attacks struck the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon from time to time. Though they could hardly break through its defenses, they could still divert a small portion of its attention—its furious attention.

With Dong Nanbiao and the army joining forces, they firmly blocked this wave of sea Monster invasion, buying time for the evacuation of the base's population of over a million.

While a fierce battle raged by the shore, changes were also taking place within the empty base.

"Finally completed!"

Lu Yunhe, who had been cultivating inside the base, now had eyes brighter than ever before, as if endless light flickered within them.

Lu Yunhe then slowly extended his right hand. Rays of light continuously gathered in his palm, and then a Divine Light Rod materialized.

Click...

Lu Yunhe swept his gaze around, making sure no one was present and that there were no surveillance devices. He tightly gripped the Divine Light Rod in his right hand, struck it against his left hand, then traced most of a circle through the air and raised it toward the sky.

"Transform!"

A brilliant light radiated from Lu Yunhe's body, enveloping him before turning into a streak of light that shot toward the battlefield.

At the heart of the battlefield between humanity and the Monsters, Dong Nanbiao, a War God, was locked in a Desperate Battle with the sea Lord, the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon.

Compared to the beginning of the battle, Dong Nanbiao was now covered in flowing blood, his aura steadily weakening, yet the momentum around him only grew stronger.

The Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon, on the other hand, had suffered quite a few wounds across its body, but compared with its enormous size, those injuries had little effect.

Yet at this moment, the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon stared warily at the human before it. It sensed a fatal threat.

"Commander, I'll hold the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon down with everything I have. Attack me directly."

Dong Nanbiao spoke into a communicator at his collar, then crushed it in his hand.

This was the strategy they had discussed before the war. If he could not defeat it, he would perish together with the Monster.

"Nanbiao...!"

Though the commander-in-chief was heartbroken, there was no other choice under the circumstances.

Just as the commander gave the order to include Dong Nanbiao within the attack range, someone suddenly stared at the battlefield and cried out.

"Look! Something seems to have rushed into the battlefield!"

A brilliant streak of light cut across the battlefield, shooting directly in front of Dong Nanbiao and blocking the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon.

"What is that?"

As the light faded, Dong Nanbiao stared vigilantly at the two-meter-tall... creature before him, with its oval eyes and strange patterns covering its body.

Then, under Dong Nanbiao's incredulous gaze, the strange figure before him threw a punch at the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon out of thin air. A terrifying force of impact instantly swept forward.

When that force struck the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon from afar, it had no ability to resist. Its tiger head exploded with terror still in its eyes, and it did not even know what had happened before it died.

Watching the Tiger-headed Monster Flood Dragon get instantly killed, Dong Nanbiao could not help opening his mouth. Countless emotions churned in his chest, but in the end, they only formed one sentence:

"Thank you..."

I probably don't need to explain this meme, right? ()
