“Do you know what kind of creature is this, Jace?”Marcello looked at Jace, who was also watching the video.After watching the footage for a while, Jace took a deep breath. With a solemn expression, he said, “If I’m not mistaken, this should be a Gorger.”“A Gorger?” Marcello was startled.“Mhm.”Jace nodded solemnly. “It’s a terrifyingly strong beast. I’ve only read about it in our clan’s ancient books. The ancient books said that Gorgers fed on stars. At the same time, these beasts possess the ability to devour anything. The ancient books have records of a Gorger reigning supreme in ancient times as the lord of heaven and earth.”Jace pursed lips tightly.There was little information about the Gorgers recorded in their clan’s books. There were only few brief descriptions of its devastating abilities.Jace recognized the Gorger instantly.Other powerful beings also recognized the Gorger.“This human isn’t one to be messed with.”“I’d better avoid this Masked Warrior.”“Th
James and the Gorger’s appearance on Mount Jade,and the scene of the Gorger devouring the Weasel King whole caused a huge commotion.However, no one knew that the person involved was James.People knew him instead as the Masked Warrior. Everyone also knew a powerful beast accompanied the Masked Warrior and that the beast was a Gorger.After James rescued the Omniscient Deity and other martial artists, he left Mount Jade. He wandered around one of Sol’s lively cities, feeling like he had nowhere to go.There was no place for him in the vast world.“Look! It’s the Masked Warrior!”“Is that little bird on his shoulder the Gorger that has gone viral online?”James attracted a lot of attention simply by walking the streets.He had already become an internet sensation, and everyone knew about him. The mask he was wearing was too conspicuous, and drew too much notice.Although some people recognized him as the Masked Warrior, they did not dare to approach him and only watched him f
“Alright.” Feb nodded her dainty head.Then, she flapped her little wings and left, quickly disappearing from James’ sight.After Feb left, James’ anxiety resurfaced.The Southwest Province was one of Sol’s central regions. Once it gets conquered by the Elephant King, other beasts would surely follow his example, and Sol would soon be subjugated.Once Sol falls, the entire world would also rapidly collapse, as would Wrymstead.James had to prevent this from happening.Even though he was no match for the Elephant King, he still had to go to the Southwest Province.This was the first battle between humans and beasts. He had to defend the Southwest Province with all his might.However, he knew it would be impossible for him to defend the Southwest Province alone. He needed Sol’s assistance and along with their heavy artillery.Only then would he have a fighting chance against the Elephant King.James left the area and headed to the Capital in Sol.The Capital no longer flourish
James overheard that the new King wanted to step down from his position.The country's leader would become the prime target with the current circumstances. Having no power, he would quickly meet his demise. The new King did not want to die in vain. He was determined to survive the disaster.The old King was unwilling to take over again but could not find someone willing to do it in his place.Seeing James before them, both the new and old King were overjoyed.The old King stood up and said excitedly, “You came back at just the right time, James. Sol is in dire straits and needs your guidance. Since you’re here, I declare you Sol’s new King.”The new King also hurriedly added. “I’ll immediately make arrangements to transfer all authority to you.”Both of them wanted to push the responsibility onto James.James did not say anything about how the two were acting. Since he chose to come himself, he was committed to either live or die with Sol.James nodded and said, “Alright. It’s
“Since this is the first battle between humans and beasts, we absolutely need to win.“If we fail, it’ll lead to a terrible chain of events.”The two subordinates listened carefully.Henry asked, “What’s your plan, James?”James shook his head sadly.He had no plans and only thought of defending the province with all the had.James had 400,000 soldiers in the Celestial Abode, they were put through constant training. It was not yet a suitable time to deploy them. They were his trump card, and he did not want to use them if it were not absolutely necessary.For now, they could only focus on defence.He pondered for a moment and said, “Issue an order for citizens to evacuate the Southwest Province. In the next two days, get as many people out of the city as possible.”“Inform the military region’s troops to make preparations. Once the beast army appears, fire our nuclear bombs at them.”James gave a series of orders.After receiving the orders, Henry and the Blithe King immedia
The beasts invading the Southwest Province were not very strong. Most of them were Supernaturals, but even so, they were still much stronger than the humans trying to fend them off.Although humans had entered the age of cultivation, they hardly had enough time to improve their strength. In general, the humans were still relatively weak and were only considered martial artists; not proper cultivators.James swung his sword.His devastating Sword Energy took out a significant number of beasts. James hovered in mid-air, and his long sword continuously sent out Sword Energy, efficiently slaughtering the rampaging beasts. This scene was broadcasted live and spectated by humans and beasts all over the world.Meanwhile, other beasts attacking different cities were bombarded by high-powered artillery and ended up suffering heavy casualties. At that moment, they were still driven to continue their attacks for a while longer.When the Elephant King realized that his army would not be abl
The beast army went on a frenzied massacre in the city. In just a day, they ruthlessly slaughtered 3,000,000 people.Meanwhile, James fought fiercely the entire day. He faced thousands of beasts on his own and they all died at his hands.“James, Lanbergh City has fallen, and millions of humans were heartlessly killed.”The Elephant King threatened, “Masked Warrior, the humans in Lanbergh City died because of you. It’s not too late to surrender now. If you don’t, more of earth’s humans will die because of your hubris.”“Let’s surrender, James.” Henry watched the deaths of countless humans through satellite footage in the military region. He shed tears as he looked at the streets of Lanbergh City stained with blood and corpses heaped into rotting piles everywhere.“The beasts are too strong. Humans are still too weak. Not everyone can fight against them like you. If you continue to battle, the entire Southwest Province might really collapse, and you’ll have to shoulder the death
Sophie did not give James much helpful suggestions.Her only advice was for James to follow his heart.James sat on the ground and casually took off the silver-white mask on his face, then began to ponder deeply.He sat in place for three hours.Eventually, he stood up.Sol could fall and the Southwest Province could be subjugated, but James himself could not surrender.The Elephant King was currently in Mount Mala.There was only one way to solve this disaster, and that was to kill the Elephant King. Once the Elephant King had been eliminated, the beast army would have no leader, and would automatically retreat from the human cities.The only drawback for James was the fact that this plan would expose his identity.Exposing his identity was a small price to pay for a clear conscience. He was unwilling to let millions of humans fall into ruin just because he prioritized hiding his identity.After he made his decision, James pulled out his phone and brought up a map. He scanne
