North America - an unmarked area on a map
The scorched earth on the ground still tells the story of the fierce battles of the past, and three fighter jets fly overhead, routinely inspecting this dangerous area.
Below is the former site of the Ancient God Administration in the America, where the Ancient God known as the Primordial Demon slumbered after being injured by nuclear weapons.
"Command center, this is Thunderbird 3. Ground operations are normal. Requesting permission to return to base."
Three fighter jets circled the scorched earth at low altitude twice, and finding nothing amiss, sent a request to the command center to return to base.
With all sorts of monsters and ghosts roaming the America these days, fighter jets also have a multitude of missions to undertake.
Urban defense, supporting ground offensives, suppressing rebellions—all these require the support of these War Machine.
Nevertheless, the U. S. military still allocates resources to conduct at least seven routine patrols per day to prevent the large object inside from escaping.
Compared to the various monsters ravaging America and the ambitious figures who rise to power amidst the chaos, the big guy inside is the real source of disaster, and we must not let our guard down.
Due to the effects of the nuclear explosion, most of the observation instruments here are unusable, and even Hoshikage are not clear. Observations can only be made by pilots cruising at low altitudes.
"Okay, since everyone is safe and sound, you can come back now."
"Received. Thunderbird will return to base immediately."
The three fighter jets circled once, then began to rapidly climb.
John, sitting in the co-pilot's seat, tilted his head as the plane soared into the sky and then saw the ground cracking rapidly.
The newly installed energy detection device on the fighter jet was rapidly sounding an alarm, and a massive energy reaction was rising from the ground.
"Oh no! Damn it!"
"That guy's out again!"
Amidst the piercing alarm, John could already see the giant, dark red hand emerging from the cracked earth.
That was the existence that had brought nightmares to their entire base a few months ago— the Ancient God.
The giant hand that stretched out of the ground pointed at the fighter jets in the sky, and several blazing lava fireballs suddenly appeared in mid-air, then quickly caught up with the flying fighter jets.
"Command room, the Ancient God has awakened once more. Prepare for attack! We..."
Before the messenger could finish speaking, three roars echoed in the sky, and then the fighter jets transformed into dazzling fireworks.
A giant red hand pawed at the ground, and soon a colossal Ancient God, entirely dark red with sharp teeth and demonic horns, rose from the earth.
Its dark red skin was covered with countless cracks and wounds, revealing a lava-like color underneath. Its huge bat wings were folded behind its back, and with the twisted goat horns on its head, it looked exactly like a demon from Hell.
At this moment, the colossal Ancient God emerged from the alternate dimension where he had been recuperating and looked up towards the distant east.
"Who killed Him?"
"Are they weapons from those tiny insects, or from that new batch of Ascendant?"
The Primordial Demon sensed something amiss, and while He slept and recuperated, He perceived the death of His brother.
Of course, this wasn't because of their deep brotherly affection, but because they feared for His own safety.
Yanluo's strength ranks among the top five of the thirteen Ancient God; if his opponents all perish, then he is naturally not safe either.
As an Ancient God who had personally been severely injured by human nuclear weapons, the Primordial Demon's impression of humanity had changed.
These humans are no longer the ants of ancient times who would kneel in fervor at a mere threat. In just over a hundred years of development, these beings have gained the power to threaten the Ancient God.
"No, we can't let these insects live here any longer! I need everyone to work together to kill them!"
"These insects, in terms of both numbers and strength, are posing a threat to us; we must bring about their destruction."
A flash of jealousy crossed the eyes of the Primordial Demon, followed by a roar with a unique wavelength that echoed in all directions.
Across the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean, this special wavelength carrying information traveled globally, reaching the ears of Ancient God.
With the fall of Yanluo, these Ancient God had long since abandoned their intention to punish and began to truly exert their power.
In an island nation somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, a giant serpent with eight heads emerged from the volcano of Mount Fuji, followed by endless flames erupting, and true disaster began to strike.
The entire Kanto Plain was transformed into a city ablaze, as earthquakes and tsunamis swept in.
Acid rain imbued with the power of Ancient God poured down from the clouds, turning any creature that came into contact with it into skeletons in terror.
This small island nation, amidst endless disasters, descended into final panic and madness.
Everywhere were insane humans. Some hadn't died in the disaster but ended their lives in despair, while others were frantically attacking their fellow humans, wanting to unleash their desires in their final moments.
Ultimately, starting from Kyushu Island, this country was the first to be swallowed up by the natural disasters unleashed by the Ancient God. Countless desires before death hovered in mid-air before being devoured by the Eight-Headed Serpent.
In the primeval jungles of East Asia, countless half-human, half-plant monsters lay prostrate on the ground. A gigantic bouquet of flowers, obscuring the sky, rose from the jungle, and countless ferocious vines spread along it, covering the primeval jungle almost effortlessly.
A green mist carrying a powerful corrosive aura spread outwards, and some fist-sized, light spores also flew in the wind. When they landed on the ground, they immediately transformed into a monster that was half human and half plant.
Soon, several small neighboring countries were wiped out, and in utter despair, the place turned into a green Hell.
Cairo
A giant tornado erupted in the desert, sweeping across cities under the command of what seemed to be a giant of sand.
After the yellow sandstorm, there was no sign of life, only the ruins of the Lower City and a large number of desiccated corpses. The surging yellow sand swept in and swallowed the entire city.
Europe, South America, the Arctic and Antarctic, the Pacific Ocean Islands...
Every region was subjected to the full force of the Ancient God, who intended to truly annihilate humanity.
The Huaxia, having just slain the Ancient God Yanluo, had barely had time to rejoice before receiving news of other Ancient God within the country resurrecting and launching attacks.
Countless demons and monsters, under the control of the superior Ancient God, launched a full-scale counterattack against the survivors. This time, it was no longer punishment, but true annihilation.
The Ancient God needed human fear and anxiety as sustenance for their ascension to godhood, but they absolutely forbade any possibility of humans replacing them.
The Ancient God ' new objective has become to exterminate humanity and cultivate a Zhihui race capable of harvesting emotional power, or to utterly destroy human civilization, returning them to the era of slavery groveling at the feet of the Ancient God.
This time, the world will face its deepest despair yet.
