My Mythical World

Chapter 31: Humanitys Last Stand

The entire battlefield stood in stunned silence as they witnessed an astonishing and devastating blow, one that took a toll on both life and spirit, relentlessly shattering the Ant King's impregnable defense line.   The indomitable and invincible divine spear collided with the Stone Tablet of Truth in a cataclysmic clash of celestial weaponry.   A collapse ensued!   An earth-shattering explosion reverberated across the sky and the land, compelling everyone present to retreat in utter dismay.   Slay!   Wang Xuying, the valiant scion of nine generations, materialized so vividly that he seemed to emerge from the depths of history itself, launching an assault on this adversary of heaven and earth!   Yet, the Stone Tablet of Truth demonstrated no inferiority to the Spear of Destiny in its resilience and strength!   One by one, the incarnations of the Human Emperor vanishedfirst-generation Wuma, followed by second-generation Xuyinguntil only one remained, the mightiest of the ninth generation, Wang Qi!   With a gallant countenance, the previous human emperor's alongside Gai Feng steadily closed the distance between themselves and the Ant King!   Click!   A subtle cracking sound resonated in the field, signifying the imperceptible appearance of a fracture on the indomitable Stone Tablet of Truth!   The Ant King's eyes turned bloodshot, blackened blood seeping from his Immortal Demon Body, pushed to his very limits!   "Foolish to presume you can vanquish this monarch!" The Ant King cursed vehemently, channeling his magical power to its utmost, surging energy pouring into the Tablet.   The arduous task of breaking through the Stone Tablet of Truth had already pushed them to their limits. Reluctantly, Wang Qi and the other incarnations cast one final glance at the Ant King, his body gradually dissolving into countless ethereal particles of light, vanishing from the mortal realm.   A sinister grin curled on the Ant King's lips. Was the Ancient King truly so weak? Despair engulfed the thousands of warriors in the distance!   "Your Majesty!"   "Your Majesty!"   The ravenous ants hailed their sovereign's magnificence.   "Insufficient! Not enough!"   Gai Feng's unwavering will surged forth once more, his roar resounding throughout the world.   The previously feeble Spear of Destiny erupted in resplendent verdant light, unveiling a towering colossal entity standing at a staggering height of 9,000 meters!   Her figure exuded a magnificence that rendered the sun and moon pallid, as if she could sustain the very heavens and earth themselves.   "Lahil, the World Tree!" The Ant King ground his teeth in frustration!   The manifestation of the sacred tree enshrouded the battlefield, compelling warriors of all races to prostrate themselves before the presence of the primordial being.   Hush!   Countless emerald branches swayed, launching an onslaught against the Ant King. With the aid of the divine tree, the Spear of Destiny underwent a metamorphosis from gold to green, the entire Spear assuming the likeness of the sacred tree.   Crack after crack resounded, intricate spider-web patterns forming upon the Stone Tablet of Truth, obliterating even the Song of the Nines runes at the convergence of the spear points.   Collapse!   Finally, the Stone Tablet of Truth succumbed to the relentless assault, crumbling into fragments that scattered as streaks of luminous particles, dispersing to every corner of the world.   While the fragments of this artifact held immeasurable value, none in the field pursued them, their gaze fixed unwaveringly upon the battlefield.   Breaking through the Stone Tablet of Truth, the colossal phantom of the sacred tree began to dissipate, and the green Spear of Destiny gradually faded, reverting to its original silver hue.   Whoosh!   Suddenly, the Ant King attempted to wrest control of the spear, only to have a final blood-red figure materialize behind him!   Gai Feng, covered in blood and wounds, appeared as if resurrected from the netherworld. His form was no mere ethereal apparition but rather a tangible existence.   "Die!" Gai Feng bellowed with explosive force, channeling his entire being into the Spear of Destiny.   Zheng!   As if guided by its own will, the artifact resonated, causing the spear to be enveloped in a foreboding, blood-red hue. In an instant, it was directed towards the Ant King, carrying an aura of impending doom.    In that moment, a tableau of countless human struggles unfolded before the worldof blood-soaked valor, spiritual enlightenment, engulfing conflagrationsand culminated in the ascension of humanity as the unrivaled overlords of the earth. The vast tapestry of human history assailed the Ant King's consciousness!   The blood-red strike illuminated the ages, enveloping the entire primordial realm like a meteor hurtling towards the earth. At that very instant, the hearts of innumerable creatures beat as one, resonating with the sheer might of this peerless strike!   "Ahhh!"   The blood-red spear pierced through the Ant King's demonic form, striking him down at the epicenter of the battlefield!   "Your Majesty!"   The ant army wailed, and in that moment, the ant queens found themselves torn between jubilation and sorrow.   "What a tragedy, how sad!" Jiang Ping shook his head, his voice laced with profound emotion.   Not every endeavor reaps its deserved rewards.   Amidst the once-hopeless myriad of races, a resounding cheer erupted as the humans and countless others rallied. Meanwhile, the ant queens urgently convened, preparing to lead their respective armies in retreat.   Yet, suddenly, the exultant cries on the opposing side were abruptly silenced. To the astonishment of all, the divine spear that had impaled the Ant King's form was forcibly withdrawn!   The Ant King lowered his right hand, clutching the spear firmly and painstakingly extracting it from his body.   Peng!   Countless warriors from every race had their minds shattered, dropping their weapons in disbelief.   The scribes entrusted with recording history, their eyes once vacant, suddenly rekindled with a sense of purpose. Hastily seizing their quills, they etched the chronicle upon the latest page of Shiji.   "Within the annals of the new human history, in the year 4150 A.D., Gai Feng, the mightiest figure in all of human history, confronted the Ant King before the eyes of myriad races. The long-lost Stone Tablet of Truth emerged, and Gai Feng, sacrificing all aspects of his being, unleashed his most formidable strike. Alas! The human racefailed! The myriad racesfailed! On this fateful day, humanity faced extinction! The myriad races faced extinction! Only the voracious ants remained, their dominance unchallenged, heralding the end of human history!"   With a trembling right hand, he inscribed the blood-soaked words onto the page, the final stroke completing the grim record. Overwhelmed by despair, he closed the Shiji with a resounding snap, his eyes shut, tears intermingling with the crimson ink that stained his cheeks.   In a towering citadel nestled afar, a telescope fell to the ground. Though the commander despaired, he rallied, shouting with unwavering resolve, "Execute the final phase of Wang Luo's plan! Launch the 'Light of Salvation'!"   "Yes!" The soldier replied, his voice quivering.   The battlefield, already ravaged by craters, bore witness to a climactic moment as the indomitable Ant King triumphantly wielded the legendary Spear of Destiny. Blood dripped from the weapon, saturating the ground with the sanguine essence of black and red.   Grasping the spear firmly in his right hand, the Ant King swung it with unrestrained ferocity, causing the blood to recede and unveiling his resplendent silver visage.   "Hahaha!"   His laughter reverberated across the field as he defied the heavens with an unwavering gaze. "What of the ancient Emperors? What of the World Tree? What of the Spear of Destiny? Who can vanquish me? Haha!"   His attention then turned to the despairing warriors, deriding their feeble resistance.   Within the ranks of the ant army, the ant queens exchanged glances, their eyes betraying profound astonishment. In perfect unison, they raised their hands and thundered, "My king is mighty, the unrivaled dominator of this world!"   Billions of ants in the army roared in a thunderous chorus, their resonating slogan instilling dread among the enemy, where a stifling silence prevailed.   "It is not over!" The general clenched his teeth, his unwavering determination evident.   Although his Ant King golden form lay shattered, even the Stone Tablet of Truth fragmented, and a gaping, bowl-sized wound persisted at the heart of his being, he was victorious.   "Huh?" The Ant King was momentarily startled, his gaze suddenly drawn to the ground below.   In the blink of an eye, the ground convulsed, unleashing an earth-shattering explosion at the epicenter of the battlefield.   "No, the human race is despicable! They have cunningly planted concealed explosives, orchestrating a treacherous ambush!"   This realization raced through the minds of the ant queens in an instant.   Not only did the depths of the earth tremble, but also a colossal golden missile emerged from the mainland, hurtling toward its target with an imperceptible velocitythe Luminous Harbinger!   Catastrophe ensued!   In that pivotal moment, akin to the catastrophic fragmentation of an ancient Pangea, the firmament and terra fused into an indistinguishable tapestry, birthing a second sun within the world's embrace!   A shockwave, akin to a level 18 typhoon, engulfed the surroundings, atomizing innumerable soldiers and ant tribes into infinitesimal particles.   An incandescent crimson mushroom cloud ascended abruptly, heralding its existence to all.   "Nuclear... a nuclear bomb?"   Jiang Ping set aside his potato chips, his gaze transfixed upon the mushroom cloud in the battlefield, a profound perplexity filling his thoughts.   Unbeknownst to him, when had the human race developed such an awe-inspiring weapon?   A sharp inhalation escaped his lips. "This potency rivals that of even Earth's nuclear bombs, perhaps even surpassing its core destructive capabilities. It is a veritable alchemical nuclear bomb!"   --- END OF THE CHAPTER ---   [Join Our Discord for regular updates and have fun with other community members: /invite/SqWtJpPtm9 ]
