World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 499

The entire city was in rubble.

Wraiths wandered about, searching for any remaining humans.

Once found, they would make them choose between dying, or being converted into Wraiths.

Towards the Wraiths' actions, the Demis couldn't really say anything.

If you compare relative strength, they were indeed stronger.

But when it comes to catching slaves, even though they had the experience of raising human servants, the speed of which they caught and transported slaves was still too slow compared to the Wraiths.

So dissatisfaction was slowly built up.

Leading to this moment.

At a large square somewhere among the rubble.

Thousands of Wraiths had surrounded the Demis.

A golden gleam of light.

A gold metal sphere nimbly weaved among the Wraiths before returning.

It was only then that blinding flashes of light erupted in the Wraith's ranks.

Countless fierce and sharp streaks of light came out, dicing the Wraiths into minced meat.

Furious screeches resounded all over.

While they were angry, the Wraiths took a few steps back instead of moving up to attack again.

Just now, the metal sphere's attack was completely unavoidable and could not be blocked.

Not only had the Wraiths never seen such attacks before, they also had no way to stop it.

The metal sphere lightly floated in mid air.

A man in full body armor and a white helmet grabbed the sphere in hand.

He looked at the countless Wraith in front of him, sighing: “You Wraiths really caused me a lot of headache, you know that”

Behind the man were over 20 Demis.

These Demis were the main force of the Heaven realm during this war.

Each of them had at least one type of Divine Skill, and none of them even got hurt ever since the start of the human realm invasion.

But now, all of them were more or less wounded.

Luckily, there hadn't been any casualties.

For the Demis, the death of each of their kin was a really huge deal.

There were simply too few of them.

Within the horde of Wraiths, a humanoid monster with a chill drifting from its body stepped out.

Below its feet, the chill was slowly freezing and expanding along the ground.

Strangely, the frozen ground was actually the bed for a burning flame.

This counterintuitive phenomenon caused the Demis to all turn cautious.

Flame Mist Wraith King, ruler of the Wraith realm.

It was powerful enough to take on any Demi----- or even 2 Demis at the same time.

The Flame Mist Wraith King stared intently at the Demis in front of it, trying to hold back its fury.

It wasn't yet time to break off their agreement.

Thinking that, the Flame Mist Wraith King questioned in a harrowing voice: 『 Heavenly God, why did you order your men to attack my troops, or do you already want to break our treaty?  』

The man with the metal sphere answered: “In truth, it was your troops who suddenly attacked us while we were transporting the slaves”

『 That is not possible, my men are not that stupid  』the Flame Mist Wraith King denied.

Your men ARE that stupid, the Heavenly God silently retorted.

But he couldn't say that out loud.

It wasn't yet time to break off their agreement.

There were still so many inexplicable powers in the human realm, and they had yet to give up resistance.

Human technology was a valuable thing.

After every battle, despite winning every time, the Demis had never found a single human corpse.

This was completely unbelievable.

Furthermore, the Asura and Beast King realms were still somewhere unknown, lying in wait.

The Heavenly God silently sighed and spoke: “To avoid friendly fire once again, you go South, we'll go North, that way neither of us will meet and there will be no unnecessary misunderstanding, what do you think?”

The Flame Mist Wraith King hesitated for a bit and spoke: 『 We will go North  』

“Fine”

The Heavenly God directly agreed.

“The agreement still stands, if we face powerful resistance, both sides will rally to fight against it”

『 Very well, so be it  』

Once both sides reached an agreement, they brought their own men and left in opposite directions towards different cities.

This newly destroyed city was plunged into silence.

On another side.

The war command center.

“Damn it!”

Zhang Ying Hao angrily punched at the face of the table, leaving a small dent on the solid metal control dashboard.

“Your hand isn't hurt is it?”

Monarch Varona glanced at the dashboard and asked.

“Just a little bit more” Zhang Ying Hao replied without changing his expression, “I should've arranged a few more skirmishes, that way they would've fully committed to killing each other”

The President consoled him: “The majority of the Demis are already wounded, over a few hundred Wraiths were killed as well, your plan to create discord between them was already very good for being able to do this much”

Liao Xing also commented: “That's right, both sides' leaders aren't stupid either”

“The only ridiculous thing is, from the start of the war, nothing we did managed to even hurt the Demi. It took over a thousand Wraiths attacking at the same time to cause them to suffer such minor wounds” Varona said.

Everyone fell silent.

Martial Saint Zhang Zong Yang was currently the strongest cultivator, using the opportunity provided when two worlds fused, he had reached Rejuvenation realm.

But all he could manage was to trade blows with a Demi for a short while.

Then he would lose.

Demis were too powerful.

With humanity's current level of cultivators, they had no way to go against them.

This was complete one-sided suppression without any hope of resistance.

Now that the Wraith and Demi went their separate ways, it was impossible to cause anymore strife between them.

Which means, there would be no one capable of going against the Demi now.

Facing such a situation, they felt nothing but heavy powerlessness.

The President suddenly asked: “Before, you said that the Demi and Wraiths didn't want to destroy this world?”

“Yes” Zhang Ying Hao arbitrarily replied.

He was still thinking of a solution.

-------a final solution.

“Compared to the Frozen Hell, the enemy's attitude changing is a very crucial point” Liao Xing chimed in.

“But we can't just give up and become slaves!” Varona angrily said.

Liao Xing didn't reply, his eyes were bloodshot as he quickly operated a super Holo-Brain with both hands.

Once he finished the code, Liao Xing finally exhaled.

He told Ye Fei Li: “The spatial warp is ready, your turn”

Ye Fei Li put his ice cream down and licked his lips.

He looked at everyone here.

“Humanity is about to be destroyed, and I'm going to be the movie's main character”

Ye Fei Li triumphantly declared.

“Less chit-chat, if you have the time, go and quickly get stronger” Zhang Ying Hao just told him.

“Fine”

Ye Fei Li said before leaving.

Varona continued the President's line of thought and asked again: “What they want is the world intact, everyone knows this, but can we actually do something with this fact?”

Zhang Ying Hao replied: “I have a faint idea, but we'll have to wait until Ye Fei Li becomes strong enough to think about how to overturn the situation”

“You really believe him that much?” the Monarch asked.

“I do, he'll be our final trump card against the Wraiths and Demi”

“There are no other solutions?”

“There aren't”

“Even you can't think of something?”

Zhang Ying Hao sighed and told her: “I'm not a monster at Gu Qing Shan's level, nor a mutated Man Killer Fiend. Can't your majesty treat a completely normal human like me a bit more fairly?”

Varona pouted a bit looking at him and lightly tapped his arm.

A female monarch of a country making such an expression and such gestures felt a bit like she was flirting.

As a matured woman in her prime, Varona's allure was undeniable, not to mention how she used to be a world-renowned beauty in her youth.

The atmosphere of the room instantly became a bit inappropriate.

“I'm going to take a piss”

Zhang Ying Hao awkwardly stood up and left.

Standing in the male toilet, he soaked his head in cold water for a bit to calm back down.

The Holo-Brain in his breast pocket lit up.

Zhang Ying Hao checked it.

The President sent him a message.

[I heard you're seeing my daughter?]

Zhang Ying Hao breathed in deeply and replied with 120% extra care: “We've gotten to know each other, right now she and I are friends with mutual respect”

A few seconds later, the President replied: [Then what is going on… with Varona?]

Reading this message, Zhang Ying Hao felt cold sweat running down his forehead and back.
…
Ye Fei Li's body was covered in a bloody red glow.

On the back of his palm, a strange hook was attached.

The hook almost seemed like it was growing from his hand.

The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook.

“Hiyah!”

Ye Fei Li roared.

Black blood was spilled.

The dying Wraith was beheaded.

Sprites of light came out from the Wraith's body as it was absorbed into the Soul Separating Hook.

The hook began to glow.

An invisible force flowed from the hook into Ye Fei Li's body.

“Hoh, hoh, hohh, hooohh!”

Unseen wind drifted about Ye Fei Li's body.

He couldn't help but levitate, silently hovering in the air.

“I feel… powerful, like never before!”

Ye Fei Li breathed out a blood-colored mist as he stared at his hand.

One the back of his left hand, the metal hook also changed to become blood-colored.

“I'm only giving you half of the Soul Points for now, otherwise you might not be able to take it” the Soul Separating Hook said.

“Thank you, it's good that you're here”
Ye Fei Li was still a bit scared, “the Soul Points Conversion Device sister-in-name gave me was too brutal, if I wasn't a Man Killer Fiend, I would've died from being overwhelmed by the Wraith's Soul Points”

“Regardless, you being able to use Soul Points now is a good thing” the Soul Separating Hook said.

“I feel that I can win against normal Wraiths now”

“That's still nowhere near enough, the situation is only getting worse and worse, you have to become stronger, quicker”

“I know”
