149: Demon King

“Hahaha, humans, offer up your Souls.”

Vega laughed maniacally.

The Demon Invasion army was greedily slaughtering.

Beautiful Country, however, was not to be underestimated; unleashing their potential, they frantically revealed their trump cards.

Everything Xia Nation had, they also possessed—such was the foundation of a great nation.

But their top-tier powerhouses were not strong enough.

Puli was merely an ordinary Star System Level powerhouse, struggling even against the opposing High-ranking Demon, let alone Vega.

The moment Vega appeared, he was instantly killed.

“No, Mr. Puli.”

“My Superman, awaken quickly.”

“It’s not like this.”

Puli, as the unique professional Superman, was hailed as a superhero by Beautiful Country.

Beautiful Country’s adoration for him was deeply ingrained.

But this Superman had now perished.

“Hahaha, what a wonderful taste of despair.” Vega thoroughly enjoyed this moment.

“Damn it, I’m a step too late.”

Yang Hongyu, caught off guard by Vega, was greatly annoyed.

However, he didn’t remain idle; he shattered most of the Demons outside the city, which was guarded by Mao Xiong, with a single punch, then rushed over.

“It’s you again? But you don’t seem able to stop me.”

Vega was somewhat annoyed by Yang Hongyu.

“What a pity, you’re too late; my objective has already been achieved, hahahaha.”

Vega’s Evil Energy magic had annihilated most of the humans in the city.

Now, coupled with the Demon Invasion’s assault, humanity was in grave danger.

“Go to Death.”

Yang Hongyu was enraged.

He didn't want to experience the feeling of being unable to protect his kin again.

“Too late, hahaha.”

Vega left with the Demons.

However, this time it seemed to have reached its limit, only taking away the two thousand strongest Demons.

Yang Hongyu furiously took out his anger on the remaining Demons.

Vega simply didn't engage him in a prolonged War.

After all, it was just a projection, not durable enough.

Subsequently, no more cities fell, because Vega no longer needed them.

Vega, far away in the Orc Empire’s capital, Kada, was stirring up a magical tide.

The battles here were far more tragic than those in the human realm.

Hundreds of millions of Orcs were fighting against the magical tide.

Countless old Orc priests and ancient monsters emerged to face this holy War.

Outside, War raged everywhere, but the Orc Grand Priest, a decrepit Lion People named Ireland, who was the pinnacle of Orc power, sat withered in the cathedral.

Countless holy lights surrounded him.

“Ireland, do you believe in the Lord?”

“Ireland, tell me your aspirations.”

“Pure child, embrace the Lord.”

In Ireland’s spiritual world, countless angels whispered.

Ireland knelt devoutly before the divine statue.

Holy light filled the sky.

The entire Orc Empire’s capital, Kada, was enveloped.

“The Grand Priest succeeded.”

“We are saved.”

“Thank the Lord for his salvation.”

The Orc Empire originally worshipped the Beast God, but the Beast God abandoned them, and the angels from the Heavenly Realm took the opportunity to spread their faith.

Only through suffering can the flower of hope bloom; in times of crisis, the most fervent faith is born.

Countless Orcs who didn't believe in the Lord became fanatical, and those who did believe in the Lord became the most steadfast zealots.

“The Lord’s glory shines upon the land.”

Ireland’s voice resounded.

After his breakthrough, his lifespan greatly increased, and he regained his youthful appearance.

“Lord? Hahaha, what a bunch of hypocritical angels.”

Vega’s voice rang out.

“Do you think you’re the only one who broke through?” Violent Evil Energy appeared around Vega.

Ireland’s pupils contracted, “You actually broke through as well.”

“Come, let’s fight, let me see your power.” Vega said fanatically.

“My pleasure.”

.......

Lin Ye, who was diligently leveling up, received the news very late.

“The Orc Grand Priest and the Demon Invasion Lord both broke through, becoming Beast King-level powerhouses?”

Lin Ye was secretly astonished.

This kind of storyline, found only in storybooks, made him feel very strange.

A destined duel?

“Both were severely injured and retreated, Vega achieved his goal and returned to hell.”

Lin Ye was somewhat delighted; this damned Demon Invasion Lord, no, now he was a Demon King.

This damned Demon King should have returned to hell long ago.

How many living beings died under Vega’s influence?

Monsters were the primary victims; on Yi Lan Continent, a large number of Monsters were slaughtered.

Monsters were strong, but they were not united at all, and they were plundered by the Demons like a swarm of locusts.

Next was the Orc Empire, which lost more than half of its population.

Their empire’s territory was spread too wide, and they couldn’t contract their defenses in time; eighty percent of their population disappeared in this great War.

And humanity’s losses were not small either; nearly half of humanity’s ability users died, especially in Beautiful Country, which suffered heavy losses.

“War is truly cruel.”

Lin Ye sighed inwardly.

Fortunately, everything was about to end now.

Two months later, the gray mist completely dissipated.

When the vast white mist emerged, many humans cried with joy.

The white mist they used to hate now seemed so endearing.

“It’s over, we’ve finally overcome the difficulty.”

“Wuwuwu, I’m going to celebrate properly.”

The cheers of the survivors in the Seven Cities resounded everywhere.

Even ordinary people on Earth could feel the changes in the ability users.

They only knew that the Star Realm was going through a difficult period, but now it seemed to have passed.

Lin Ye gave his employees a day off; after all, it was a good day, and they could celebrate together.

And from this moment on, humanity’s operations also began to expand again.

The Demon Invasion didn’t seem to be a bad thing either.

The various resource points that were originally difficult to develop had virtually no Monster obstacles due to the Demons.

Now it was like picking up money.

As Lin Ye was famous for his exploration abilities, he also spent a month traveling to various places to explore resource points for Xia Nation.

When those detailed maps came out, the entire high-level leadership of Xia Nation couldn’t help but get excited.

“The resource information Lin Ye provided is worth more than we imagined.”

“We must reward him handsomely.”

“Yes.”

“But the development progress must keep up; now we lower the requirements and immediately gather a large number of personnel to develop in the Star Realm.”

“That’s right, everyone must quickly secure their land.”

“Now the threat from Monsters is basically zero, and ordinary people are not in much danger, so we can completely lower the requirements and recruit a large number of development personnel.”

“What are you thinking? Development also needs to be based on strength.”

“My meaning is to gather those below Tier 7 and above Tier 4; doesn’t this just solve the employment problem for graduates?”

Huge development demands created a large number of jobs, and this generation of young people was blessed.

The rewards for Lin Ye were also discussed.

Ordinary rewards were useless to him; Lin Ye lacked neither money nor resources.

So, he was directly rewarded with a large sum of military merits; Lin Ye could exchange for whatever he wanted.

Anything not in the military merit system would also be found for him if possible.

However, that would cost even more military merits.

When Lin Ye saw that huge sum of military merits, he was overjoyed.

The exchange list, right? You used to ignore me, but now I’ll make you unreachable.
