I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"What's going on?! Why are we hearing gunshots coming from the underground base?!"

The officers were also bewildered by the sudden burst of gunfire, but they managed to ask the soldiers engaged in combat the same question via communicator. The soldiers, looking terrified, replied:

"Enemy! Monster! Monster invasion! Don't come any closer!"

The screams in the communication suddenly stopped, and the officers were stunned by the noise. The commotion on the other end of the communicator filled them with fear. The screams of the soldiers echoed in their minds, and their minds were filled with questions. After all, their underground base was a long way from the Guiding Island, and it would take a lot of time to get there. The enemy would have to use sea transportation to get there, and of course, there was a sea dragon in between. It seemed impossible to swim there, right?

But the soldiers said there was a monster. Could it be that what came over wasn't those primitive people, but some kind of monster that broke into the base's port?

"Operator, close the port gates!"

One of the officers immediately ordered the operators of the underground base facilities to close the metal gate located at the only port entrance of the underground base. When the Monarch Project was building this underground base, they had also considered the possibility that some monsters might rush out from the port, so they built a metal gate to close the harbor.

Upon hearing the officer's words, the operator, looking flustered, replied:

"But, sir, if we close the gate, the soldiers on the other side of the port will..."

Regarding the operator's question, the officer took a very firm stance and ordered the operator to close the metal door, which the operator complied with.

Meanwhile, the soldiers who had retreated from the port to the gate saw that the gate was closed and pounded on it, looking at the camera and asking the operator to open it. However, due to the officer's orders, the operator was unable to open the gate. But when the other side saw a "monster" with a ferocious face appear in front of them through the camera, they were surprised.

The operator who witnessed this scene was filled with unprecedented fear. In front of the surveillance camera was a humanoid creature that was more than 5 meters tall. It was covered with a thick carapace and had two pairs of arms. On its thick arms were two huge bone blades, and on its other two huge arms were long whips and an unidentifiable biological structure.

The opponent's ferocious appearance was terrifying. Even watching through the surveillance camera, the operator's legs trembled. Then, under the attack of that terrifying being, the soldiers blocked outside the door also launched attacks on the terrifying being with terrified expressions. However, unfortunately, the weapons in the soldiers' hands were of no use to that terrifying being.

Soon, after the soldiers' screams and gunshots, everything fell silent. The operator, staring at the blood splattered all over the screen, was speechless. Clearly, after witnessing this horrific scene, the operator was about to react when he saw a terrifying image coming from another camera screen: the monstrous creature was trying to pry open the metal door leading to the underground base.

"Sir! That monster is trying to break through the gate!"

Upon hearing the operator's words, the officers, looking terrified, ordered their soldiers to defend the area leading to the port gate. The officers also took this opportunity to lead their squads to retreat towards the sea base, since they were simply waiting to die here, as the enemy was beyond the capabilities of most armies.

As for the other soldiers, they were being given some time to buy time; it was a necessary sacrifice after all...

As the officers ran towards the elevator, they heard a burst of gunfire in the distance, indicating that the monsters had broken in. However, the elevator had already risen, which relieved the officers.

Meanwhile, at the underground base, as the metal door was torn open, a terrifying figure rushed out. Upon seeing the monster, everyone raised their weapons without hesitation and launched an attack. However, it was insignificant to the enormous monster. The monster aimed its cannon-like biological tissue at the firing soldiers, and flames shot out from the tissue, instantly setting the soldiers ablaze before they could react.

As flames burned on their bodies, the soldiers screamed and tried to extinguish the flames. The fire sensors on the ceiling detected something and sounded an alarm, activating the underground base's fire suppression system. The sprinklers on the ceiling immediately started spraying water, but the flames on the soldiers could not be extinguished and instead became even more intense.

The remaining soldiers were terrified by what they saw and immediately abandoned their comrades who were calling for help, and fled.

As the metal gate was torn open, a group of Alita people, with some kind of biological tissue on their heads and bodies, appeared from the huge rift. These Alita people held biological tissues that resembled those in the hands of the giant monster. They pointed their weapons at the struggling soldiers, and with a sound like a "splat!", the biological tissues in their hands seemed to spray out sharp bone spikes.

In an instant, the struggling soldiers were shot dead by sharp, barbed bone spikes. The sharp bone spikes pierced through the hard skulls and smashed the soldiers' skulls into pieces. The corpses lying on the ground looked gruesome. If an ordinary person saw them, they would probably scream in fright.

After dealing with the struggling soldiers, the Alita people began to move, searching the rooms of the underground base to clear out the soldiers who remained.

Meanwhile, the Monarch Project staff, who were being held captive in the lounge, also heard gunshots and commotion outside. This made them uneasy and very confused. What was happening outside that caused such chaos? Could it be that other UN forces were coming to rescue them?

But the problem was that the commotion from the army outside made something feel off.

P.S.: This weather is fucking awful...

Volume 3 [Yohaka: King of Monsters]: Chapter 1724 [The Underground Base is Breached]

The soldiers in the break room were also at a loss when they heard the commotion outside. After all, the sound outside sounded very strange. At the same time, the soldiers tried to contact their officers or other superiors, but received no message. This made the soldiers feel uneasy, but they dared not go out for fear of something unexpected happening.

Just then, everything outside quickly fell silent, leaving the soldiers puzzled. What was going on outside? As they hesitated, a knock came at the door. Hearing the knock, the soldiers pointed their weapons at the door and said:

"Who?!"

In response to the soldiers' questions, the familiar voices of their comrades rang out from outside:

"The emergency has been resolved, but we are short-handed to treat the injured. Please come and help."

Hearing their comrades' voices outside, the soldiers in the break room breathed a sigh of relief, clearly relieved by their words. They responded and went to unlock the door, but before they could open it, a tremendous force came from it, blasting them away. Before they could even react, sharp bone spikes pierced their helmets and went through their skulls, completely destroying their brains.

The scientists from Project Monarch were also initially stunned, as the entire event took less than a second. They were only startled by the sudden, loud noise. However, once they realized what had happened, they screamed in terror. Most importantly, they were horrified by the terrifying, alien-like appearance of the Alita people. The Alita people, clad in bio-equipment, had a ferocious appearance, with their red coats, fangs, and bone spurs, making them seem like creatures that shouldn't exist on Earth.

The Alita people remained calm in the face of the screaming scientists. After checking that all the killed soldiers were dead, one of the Alita people stepped forward and asked the terrified Alita members:

"Are you outsiders from the Emperor Project organization?"

Upon hearing the words of the Alita tribesman, the scientists, who had been startled, stared blankly at the Alita tribesmen dressed in bio-equipment, clearly not understanding what was going on.

Soon, the Alita tribesman who had asked the question opened the bio-equipment on his helmet, revealing his face. Upon seeing this, the scientists realized that these invaders, who seemed like aliens, were actually human. However, the fact that they were wearing bio-like equipment was quite unbelievable to them.

One of the members of the Emperor Project organization, who had just realized what was happening, quickly spoke to the Alita tribespeople:

"Yes, yes, we are members of Project Monarch! Who are you?"

Upon hearing the Monarch Project member's answer and question, the Alita tribesman who had asked the question nodded without explaining anything. He then left the lounge with the other Alita tribesmen. After the Alita tribesmen left, the Monarch Project members were completely bewildered. They were clearly confused by the situation, as these invaders dressed in biotechnology equipment left them feeling lost. After all, the other party had immediately dealt with the soldiers who imprisoned them and then asked them if they were members of the Monarch Project, which left them somewhat at a loss.

As for whether the other party was a rescue team sent by the Emperor Project organization, they felt it was unlikely. After all, they knew very well that the Emperor Project organization did not have such a powerful combat force. It was highly suspicious. After feeling that it was safe, a few of the bolder members of the Emperor Project organization went out of the lounge to check the situation. They also retrieved the walkie-talkie from the toilet and came out to question the investigation team that had been imprisoned by the Alita tribe.

Upon exiting the lounge, the members of Project Monarch saw the chaotic corridor and corpses scattered everywhere. They were horrified by the sight, clearly intimidated by the fighting prowess displayed by the unknown warriors. After all, none of their own members were among the corpses, demonstrating the warriors' formidable strength. Of course, it was also possible that the enemy had concealed their own bodies, making them invisible.

.......................................

.......................................

The scene shifts to the Alita people, who are the battle priests of the Alita tribe. Unlike the hunting priests, who are primarily focused on hunting, the battle priests are mostly responsible for dealing with various unexpected events. In terms of combat strength, these battle priests are among the best. Most importantly, they possess a certain level of spiritual energy, which allows them to exert considerable power in certain situations.

Soon, the Alita people arrived at the elevator and discovered that it seemed to have stopped working. They quickly realized what was wrong.

"Hmm, it seems those outsiders have cut off the elevator's control system. It looks like we'll need another route to get to the sea base up there."

Upon hearing the words of the leading battle priest, the other battle priests nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, on the sea platform, the officers were reporting the situation to their superiors. Those above, upon hearing the officers' words, were completely bewildered. What they were saying was simply too unbelievable, making it difficult for them to believe what the officers were saying. Moreover, who knew if the officers were using some excuse to avoid punishment for the failed attack?

Volume 3 [Yohaka: King of the Monsters]: Chapter 1725 [The Battle Ends]

Just as the officers were making excuses for what had happened, the combat priests in the underground base quickly found an escape pod that looked like it was for escaping. Of course, the combat priests didn't use these escape pods, but rather used these escape passages.

As the battle priests opened the escape tunnel, a large amount of seawater surged out of it. The battle priests, however, remained completely calm. The seawater quickly engulfed them, but they were unaffected. Once the escape tunnel doors opened, the battle priests swam towards the surface of the sea like a school of fish.

Soon, thanks to the swimming speed of the battle priests, they quickly arrived at the platform on the sea. Upon seeing several soldiers patrolling the platform, the battle priests communicated with each other using their psionic abilities. After discussing their plan, the battle priests began to take action.

As the soldiers patrolled to the seaside, the battle priests suddenly launched a sneak attack. The soldiers were caught off guard and dragged into the sea. They couldn't make a sound, and their struggles were futile.

Soon, following the actions of the battle priests, the soldiers also froze. After leaving the soldiers' corpses behind, the battle priests jumped onto the sea platform. Through the memories they had gained from the members of the Emperor Project organization, they were very familiar with the terrain of this sea platform. With their familiarity with the sea platform, the battle priests avoided the surveillance range of the cameras. Taking advantage of the blind spots in the surveillance cameras, they secretly sneaked into suitable positions and then launched an attack on the soldiers.

As the battle priests launched their attack, the soldiers were caught off guard. They were completely unprepared for the sudden assault. Once they did react, they realized they were powerless against these terrifying alien-like beings. The battle priests quickly stormed the command center on the sea platform. Officers frantically called for backup, but before they could arrive, the battle priests had already entered the command center. In a mere instant, the unsuspecting soldiers were wiped out by the battle priests' weapons.

The sharp bone spikes easily tore through bulletproof armor, as well as human muscles, shattering bones and internal organs, before flying out of the human body.

The high-ranking officers on the large screen were stunned by the carnage unfolding before them. They stared in disbelief at the scene. After a moment, they looked at the monstrous battle priests and shouted at them:

Who are you?! Do you know what you're doing?!

Upon hearing the officers' words, the battle priests looked at them with expressions of utter disbelief. Clearly, they thought the officers' questions were idiotic; after all, how dare they invade their island without even knowing who they were? They must be fools.

Soon, the battle priests skillfully manipulated the keyboards to investigate something. Under their control, they quickly learned something, released the information to the right people, and then left. The officers and high-ranking officers watching the battle priests' actions were completely bewildered. They clearly didn't know what those unknown individuals were doing. The only thing they knew was that these unknown individuals had wiped out the troops they had sent out.

However, they soon received a communication from the United Nations Parliament, clearly indicating that they also knew what the battle priests were doing. Apparently, it was they who informed the UN Parliament. This greatly troubled the three countries. They had gained nothing, lost a unit, and the UN Parliament had found out. This made the three countries feel that they had tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead.

........................................

After the battle priests dealt with the soldiers, they returned to the underground base via elevator. At the underground base, the rescued members of Project Monarch looked at the battle priests who had returned from the sea base with a mixture of fear and curiosity. Although the battle priests had rescued them, their appearance and fighting methods terrified them, and they dared not approach them to speak.

However, when they saw that the battle priests were carrying some electronic devices, the members of Project Monarch were at a loss for words. After all, the electronic devices in their hands looked somewhat familiar. However, due to their ferocious appearance and terrifying combat power, the members of Project Monarch dared not say anything and could only watch as the battle priests took away the electronic devices.

Meanwhile, members of Project Monarch on the sea platform sent a message inquiring about the safety of their counterparts at the underground base. The reply was that everything was fine, but the information about the electronic equipment taken away by the combat priests was relayed to the colleagues on the sea platform.

The members of Project Monarch on the sea platform, upon hearing their colleagues' conversation at the underground base, acknowledged their knowledge. They had witnessed the combat priests taking away some electronic equipment, but dared not intervene. Moreover, the equipment they were taking wasn't particularly valuable or important; it seemed to be related to photography and communication devices—not essential items. Therefore, they didn't say anything to the combat priests, as they didn't want to suffer the same fate as the soldiers if they were mistaken for enemies.

Volume 3 [Yohaka: King of Monsters]: Chapter 1726 [The Little Priest Who Initiated the Sanction]

On Guiding Island, after dealing with the soldiers in the underground base, the battle priests returned to Hallownest with their belongings.

"High Priest, we have brought the items back."

Upon hearing the words of the combat priest, the little priest, seeing that the combat priests and their group were carrying electronic devices, nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

"Yes, well done. Now, set up the equipment."

Upon hearing the young priest's words, the battle priests nodded in agreement. Using their knowledge gained through psychic energy, they then began setting up the equipment. After preparing the communication and photography equipment, the battle priests nodded to the young priest, indicating they could begin. The young priest then stood up and addressed the battle priests operating the equipment:

"Well, let's get started."

..............................................

..............................................

In the United Nations conference room, the countries present condemned the actions of the United States, Britain, and Gaul. After all, their unauthorized actions had a negative impact on them, and the fact that the other side forcibly controlled the operations of Project Monarch was also a source of great dissatisfaction among the countries. This was because Project Monarch contained outstanding scientists from various countries, and if anything happened to these scientists, it would be a serious loss to the country.

Moreover, not to mention the members of the Emperor Project organization who were held captive by the Alita people. If the Alita people are angered, the hostages may suffer negative consequences due to their actions.

As for the three countries that were condemned, they seemed completely unfazed, knowing full well that the condemnation was merely a formality. However, at that moment, the image of the little priestess appeared on the large screen in the UN conference room. The representatives from various countries were completely bewildered by this, clearly not expecting a little girl they had never seen before to suddenly appear on the screen. Moreover, the little girl's attire, which resembled that of a priestess, left the representatives present quite puzzled.

Of course, the young priest didn't keep everyone in doubt for long before speaking:

"Good morning, fellow outsiders. I am the high priest of the Alita tribe."

Upon hearing the priest's words, the representatives from various countries present were speechless. After all, they had not expected that the Alita people reported by the Monarch Project Organization would have the ability to use network communication. Could it be that they were imprisoned members of the Monarch Project Organization?

Before the representatives from various countries could say anything, the young priest continued:

"Not long ago, the United States, Britain, and Gaul launched invasions into the territory of our Spirit of Beasts, and we did not hesitate to impose sanctions."

Upon hearing the priest's words, the representatives from various countries couldn't help but look at the representatives of the United States, Britain, and Gaul. These representatives seemed a little uneasy under the gazes of others, but due to their work experience, they quickly calmed down. After all, those who could sit in this position were generally not easy to deal with.

Upon hearing the young priest's words, the representative from the United States also spoke to the young priest without hesitation:

"It was you barbaric races who kidnapped our scientists first, otherwise we wouldn't have sent soldiers to attack!"

The young priest heard the representative from the United States look at him with a blank expression and say:

"Oh, so you think you're not barbaric at all, having stolen our sacred relic?"

Upon hearing the young priest's words, the representative from the United States was momentarily speechless, but quickly realized something and said to the young priest:

"The people who stole the sacred relics hundreds of years ago were the Spanish, it has nothing to do with the United States."

The Spanish representative, who had been watching the spectacle from the sidelines, looked completely bewildered, clearly not expecting the United States to suddenly shift the blame onto them. The priest, in response to the American representative's question, explained:

"Yes, hundreds of years ago those foolish thieves stole our sacred relics, but there is no doubt that most of the relics are now located in the United States."

Upon hearing the priest's words, the American representative seemed taken aback, clearly not expecting the blame to suddenly fall on him. Representatives from other countries present also looked on with curiosity, wondering how the other party knew that most of the sacred objects were in the United States.

Representatives from various countries were also very curious about this, but they did not ask the question. When the United States heard that most of the indestructible relics were in their country, they asked the CIA to start investigating the whereabouts of those relics. Since the other party said that those relics were in their country, they would try to collect them. After all, they could be used as political bargaining chips. Since the other party wanted such things, the United States also wanted to exchange something or technology from the Alita people.

The strange troops that the Alita tribe had previously used to wipe out their army had also piqued their interest, and they wanted something similar. If they had such a thing, their country's military strength would be significantly greater than that of other countries.

The idea was quite beautiful, but the little priest shattered the other party's delusions in an instant.
