153: Chapter 153 I'm Not Human Anymore
"Alright, Dad, why dwell on it so much? You need to look forward."
Gu Han casually tossed a gas mask to Gu Yanxiao.
Gu Yanxiao reached out to catch it, still looking completely dejected.
The fact that Zhao Kun's family had suddenly lost contact these past few days had already been weighing on him. Now, his son had just slapped the truth right onto his face.
Zhao Kun had been lurking by his side for years, and even that rigged match that led to his fall from grace had been orchestrated by Zhao Kun behind the scenes.
A good brother of over a dozen years had turned into an enemy plotting against him in the blink of an eye.
To dispel his doubts, Gu Han had specifically taken him to sneak a peek at Tang Wuying, who was working miserably in the mushroom garden, before they set off, and even had the Level 7 Archmage Ier come out to testify.
The one-time coordinate that Gu Yanxiao had personally handed to Zhao Kun had long since been passed on to the Tang Family, who had attempted to use it to steal Gu Han's Divine Source and enslave him.
The facts were right before his eyes.
Gu Yanxiao put on the gas mask and plopped down onto the broad back of the Earth Rampager, stewing for a long time before he could squeeze out a sentence.
"Actually, I should have been on guard earlier. But he always helped me out when I was at my lowest, so I thought that was true friendship in times of adversity."
Gu Han made a remark with a touch of Yin and Yang, figuring that now was the time to kick him while he was down to help his old man wake up.
"Right, right, right, he saved you from fire and water. But you didn't realize that the fire and water both came from him in the first place."
"Your first half of life was entirely within his calculations, and you still have the nerve to lecture me with your life philosophies?"
Gu Yanxiao was choked up, scratching his head in embarrassment.
"You brat! You even dare to tease your own father. You've got wings now, I can't control you anymore."
"Alright, Old Gu, let's get down to business." Gu Han patted the carapace of the Earth Rampager. "I'll settle your hard-work fee after we finish the battle later."
Gu Yanxiao pointed at his own nose, his eyes widening slightly.
"I get a hard-work fee too?"
"Even brothers settle accounts clearly; how could I treat you unfairly?"
Gu Yanxiao waved his hands repeatedly, his face turning green.
"Don't even mention that word 'brother' to me. I was just stabbed in the back, and now I get a headache just hearing that word."
As the two conversed, the Earth Rampager had already crossed the Divine Kingdom channel and was moving forward along the underground tunnels dug by the Ant-men in advance.
This tunnel led straight to the heart of the Snake-person Demigod's Divine Kingdom.
Gu Han couldn't help but inwardly complain: This Snake-person Demigod really thought he had me in the bag, setting the Divine Kingdom channel's coordinates so close to the heartland—was he planning to move his treasures out faster?
Gu Han this time had brought an army of thirty million Level 2 Ant-men and three thousand Titan Ant-men.
These Ant-men were all packed into a march card he had. This card was loot that had dropped from the Demigod Kuanglan earlier.
At that time, the card still contained ten Level 9 Kuanglan, which had now been captured alive by Gu Han.
"Boom!"
The soil layer overhead suddenly collapsed.
The Earth Rampager carried the father and son as it burst through the soil, kicking up a sky full of dust, and the light outside instantly pierced their eyes.
No sooner had they steadied themselves than a chorus of hissing sounds erupted all around.
Dense crowds of Snake-person believers, wielding weapons and flicking their tongues, surrounded the suddenly appeared pit.
A Level 6 Snake-person Clan Chief shouted, "Clan Chief! It's the invaders! They really did crawl out from the tunnel!"
Gu Yanxiao scanned the towering snake-bone buildings around them and the massive statue of the Demigod in the distance, gasping in shock.
"Oh no, why did we come straight into their base camp?"
Gu Han, however, was very calm. "Don't panic, it's my turn."
He reached out and pulled out that march card.
"Come out, my Ant-men army!"
Gu Han threw the march card onto the ground, and it transformed into a huge spatial rift.
A black tide instantly surged out from the rift.
A massive black-armored Titan Ant-man flew out first, directly boosting both father and son, along with the Earth Rampager, onto its huge head, carrying them up into mid-air.
Gu Han conveniently stowed the Earth Rampager into another card.
Afterward, Titan-level Ant-men continuously crawled out from the rift, each basically nearly twenty meters tall.
The originally aggressive low-level Snake-people looked up at these behemoths and were so scared that they collectively retreated, dropping their weapons all over the ground.
Gu Yanxiao lay on top of the Ant-man's head, his eyeballs nearly popping out. What's going on with this size!?
Despite the shock, he didn't forget the main task.
He roared, and a dazzling, intense light erupted from his body.
Skill [Blade of Breaking Formation] activated.
A phantom of a giant golden spear descended from the sky, carrying terrifying pressure, and slanted into the ground below.
As the spear landed, an invisible ripple instantly spread out, sweeping across the entire field.
A golden spear-tip symbol simultaneously appeared on the foreheads of the thirty million Ant-men army.
The Advanced Snake-person leaders who had rushed over, originally intending to organize a counterattack, were now all stunned by the size of the Titan Ant-men and stood frozen in place.
These Titan Ant-men were still only Level 2 Transcendents.
But under the enhancement of [Big is Truth] and [Blade of Breaking Formation], their combat power could no longer be measured by conventional logic.
The battle erupted instantly.
The black-armored Titans brandished their two eight-meter-long giant bladed legs, cold light flickering.
They flew directly close to the ground, their massive bodies carrying terrifying inertial speed as they plunged into the pile of Snake-people.
Wherever the bladed legs swung, severed limbs flew everywhere. Those Snake-person believers below Level 5 didn't even have time to scream before they were sliced in half.
The harvesting speed was so fast it was dazzling.
The Dragon-Lizard Titans were even more brutal; relying on their monstrous defense, they charged directly into the formation of high-level Snake-people while weathering weapon attacks.
One Dragon-Lizard Titan was besieged by over a dozen Level 6 Snake-people; it swiped back with a claw, and three Level 6 Snake-people were instantly swatted away, rolling on the ground like Snake-person pancakes.
The Shield-Armored Titans and Ant-Fist Titans still had perfect synergy.
The Shield-Armored Titan set up a massive, thick shield, tanking the attacks of numerous Level 7 believers, while the Ant-Fist Titan lunged out from behind the shield.
That truck-sized fist swung out at a speed invisible to the naked eye, directly causing a white sonic boom cloud to explode in the air.
Several Level 7 Snake-people didn't even have time to dodge before they were sent flying by this immense force.
In mid-air, blood mixed with chunks of internal organs sprayed out from the Snake-people, and by the time they landed, they were already battered and broken.
The advantage brought by their massive size was displayed to the fullest at this moment.
The exponential increase in attack and defense allowed these Level 2 Ant-men to display terrifying combat power that crushed enemies across tiers.
After the Titan Ant-men made their move, the normal-sized Ant-men army quickly followed up.
They swarmed forward like a tide, several working together to deal with a severely injured Snake-person, quickly delivering the finishing blow and harvesting the remaining health.
In front of the distant Snake-person temple.
"We can't wait any longer; before the Divine Master returns, we must defend the Divine Kingdom."
The Level 8 Snake-person Clan Chief let out a hoarse roar.
The more than two thousand Level 8 Snake-person elites gathered around the temple simultaneously dropped their weapons and clutched their heads tightly with both hands.
They emitted painful roars from their throats, and scales began to grow frantically all over their bodies.
Gu Han stood on high ground, his brows slightly furrowed; something was wrong.
The bodies of those Level 8 Snake-people were twisting violently.
Their lower snake tails began to rapidly lengthen and thicken, while their upper human torsos actually shriveled bit by bit, retreating back into that thick layer of snake skin.
A tooth-aching sound of bone fracturing resonated across the plaza.
More than two thousand Level 8 Snake-people, right before Gu Han's eyes, collectively shed their skin.
Layers of mucus-covered human skin were shaken off and discarded on the ground.
They had all transformed into terrifying giant pythons over fifteen meters long.
The giant pythons were covered in black and red scales, their vertical pupils flashing with bloodthirsty red light, and they opened their bloody maws, revealing sharp fangs.
Gu Han immediately pulled up the smart assistant to scan.
A light screen popped up before his eyes.
[Level 8 Berserk Giant Python]
[Transcendent Trait: No Longer Human (An ultimate snake transformation that can only be used once in a lifetime. I am No Longer Human. Completely abandon human characteristics and transform into a giant python form.)]
