Origin Paradise!

The sky was filled with dark clouds, and everything looked gloomy.

On the plain, the ants surged in like a tide, or like an endless black shrub moving rapidly. The buzzing sound of their keratinous carapaces rubbing together was so loud that even Dawn Intelligence could not determine their exact number for a while.

"Minimum quantity: eight million."

“They were ordinary creatures of the Bronze Age.”

"The physical attributes of a single human ant exceed those of a standard human by 40%, but its intelligence level is estimated to be low."

Dawn Intelligence sends intelligence to Dawn personnel who serve as battalion and regimental commanders at various levels.

At this moment, tens of thousands of men from the First Division of the Second Army Corps entered Diandaoguan and began the first round of defensive operations.

Jiang He frowned slightly as he gazed into the distance. He surveyed the skies above the plains but could not find the enemy's command node. According to Dawn's analysis, the optimal solution was to hold out, which would be a protracted war of attrition, and even the hegemon would find it difficult to overturn the situation in one fell swoop.

"Then let's fight and develop at the same time."

Jiang He thought to himself, he wasn't in a hurry anyway. The Dawn and the Evil Fiend swarm behind him had just entered the right track of development. Besides, the corpses of the human ants could be used to cultivate dinosaurs, or to absorb the rare extraordinary factors of human ant creatures, accumulating little by little to nourish extraordinary explosion.

Rows of heavy machine guns were arrayed on the city wall, and the armory contained hundreds of millions of bullets, the result of six years of development and accumulation. The soldiers picked up their old AK rifles and aimed them forward. Although they were terrified, the ruthless squad leader had long established absolute authority.

after an hour.

The distinctive fishy smell of ants mingled with the strong wind, blowing over the city walls and bringing the war to the Upside-Down Pass.

The enemy was two hundred meters from the city wall. Legion Commander Aqi raised his hand and shouted, "Fire!"

Da da da!

Dozens of heavy machine guns unleashed a storm of metal, and chains of fire descended from the city walls. Bullets tore through the carapaces of the ants, shattering flesh and leaving behind corpses. The ants that filled the gaps quickly trampled their comrades' bodies and continued their rapid advance, fearless of death.

A second lieutenant struggled to control a heavy machine gun, the vibrations from the colliding bullets making him tremble uncontrollably. The barrel gradually turned red-hot. Seeing this, the corporal assisting him immediately unbuckled his belt and poured out some cool liquid, which steamed and made a hissing sound.

boom!

A bullet flew out from the black tide and killed the lieutenant. The sniper among the human-ants immediately bent down and hid among his companions. Most of the genetically infected are beast-like killers, but a small number can retain their minds, but they cannot help but become pseudo-humans who are keen on killing.

The fire chains crisscrossed, sweeping down rows of ants.

At one point, this group of humanoid creatures suddenly charged forward.

Dozens of heavy machine guns fired in a crossfire, but the ants continued to advance wave after wave. The stench of dismembered corpses mixed with the smoke of gunpowder, creating an extremely pungent odor.

The leading ant had reached the foot of the city wall. The segments on the outside of its arms popped out, piercing the wall like sharp blades. It quickly climbed up, but the next moment, its bloodthirsty eyes saw the figure peeking out from the city wall. With a bang, a bullet pierced its skull.

The ants fell to the ground and landed on the heads of their own kind, but their numbers seemed to remain undiminished. They continued to charge frantically at the pass, with a significant number of them directly destroying the city walls, and countless others unleashing their firepower upon the city walls.

The death toll on both sides is rising sharply.

Until the walls were covered with ants, Jiang He leaped straight into the ant swarm in front of him, and the Black Sun Domain unfolded.

A black sun rose, and a violent, devouring force roared within a radius of 550 meters, causing countless ants to take flight, along with tens of thousands of corpses.

More than 30,000 lives were lost in the darkness.

The battlefield, which was originally densely packed with dark figures, was suddenly cleared out, revealing a large open space.

The defenders on the city wall were given a respite when the Second Division came up to relieve them, and the overheated heavy machine guns were repositioned.

Da da da.

The sound of bullets exploding rang out again.

Jiang He did not return to the city wall, but instead charged forward from where he stood. His powerful body was like a meteorite, and in the instant he collided with the human ants, he could clearly see the enemy's shattered flesh and blood.

On a straight line, its momentum is unstoppable.

Blood-red smoke filled the air, and even the bloodthirsty ants showed signs of shrinking back.

A kilometer away, the Black Sun Domain unfolded once more.

Long!

A strange sound, clear, vast, and majestic, resounded across the plains, like a tornado sucking up its prey. The bodies of the human-ants collapsed in the pulling, turning into pure blood mist that flowed into the black sun in wisps.

Tens of thousands more ants died.

[Note: Your extraordinary burst damage has been increased to the Undying level by 13%]

Jiang He punched out with both fists, unleashing a torrent of violent force and energy, clearing out the fan-shaped areas on both sides, turning flesh and blood into mud.

Their figures flashed, leaping across distances of a thousand meters.

When the Black Sun Domain appeared twice in a row, all the guild members in the underground command center fell silent, and many swallowed hard.

The strategy team leader forced himself to remain calm and analyzed, "His physique is almost at its peak, and his punches deal damage at the level of the elite. His pure physical speed is also at that level. As for whether it is the limit, it is not yet clear."

"Generally speaking, a complete domain expansion requires 1000 points of gold energy or 3000 points of silver energy. The target can use it four times in a row. Judging from the energy reserves alone, it is rarely matched."

Everyone understood the strategic team leader's unspoken meaning: the force on the live screen was the Ninth Fortress.

"We have suffered over 21 casualties, but in any case, his energy should be running out soon." The strategy team leader objectively judged: "Theoretically, now is the best time to launch an attack."

The Ant King tapped the table lightly with his fingers. Caution and timing are not contradictory; in fact, the former exists to seize the latter.

"I'll go test his strength."

The strategy team leader judged, "Even if we are outmatched, the chances of the guild leader being defeated are not high. With millions of ants surrounding him, the guild leader is at an unprecedented peak. Everyone, please maintain your confidence."

The vice president interjected, "We should be prepared for both possibilities. Have the three-headed queen ant in place, ready to switch the master back at any time."

Each group split up and took action. The equipment group delivered the top-tier armor for maintenance, the strategy group analyzed the best time to enter the fray, and the logistics group provided energy, blood, and energy-boosting potions to ensure the best possible combat effectiveness for their side.

"This is what unity is all about." The guild leader smiled as he picked up his Ultimate Warhammer, whose core Ultimate abilities were [Unity] and [Unity of Mind].

-

On the battlefield.

Jiang He unleashed his fists and slaughtered without restraint.

Each time the dan jin swept out, it could kill thousands of ants, and blood flowed all around.

Suddenly, the ground cracked open, and a lean figure darted out with incredible speed. He swung a warhammer the size of a millstone with both hands, and due to his terrifying strength, the impact of the hammer into the air was like the detonation of thunderclaps.

Ultimate-level active skill: Shocking Palace.

The 80% bonus damage from armor shattering and the strength enhancement amplify the already astonishing power to its extreme.

Boom!

The chairman swung his hammer with all his might, striking the enemy squarely.

The extremely violent force stirred up a gale, causing the ground to shake and cracks to spread within a radius of several hundred meters. Thousands of human ants flew and were swept away, and the surrounding ground sank down, with dust flying everywhere.

The moment the all-out attack hit, cheers erupted in the command center. The guild leader's relative weakness was speed, and since the attack hit, the chances of winning would greatly increase.

"No!" The strategy team leader exclaimed in alarm.

On the battlefield, a hint of confusion appeared on the president's face.

The raging wind swept away the dust, and a slender, fair hand easily blocked the hammer's surface. The internal energy, honed over millennia of martial arts, dissipated most of the force, leaving nothing to hurt.

Jiang He remained calm, his five fingers like hooks, effortlessly employing various claw techniques. His own stats, enhanced by the Five Dimensions Ring and the crimson robe, were now sufficient to support his mastery of martial arts.

Click!

The Prestige Warhammer has fallen apart.

The Divine Hunt and Divine Hunting events were launched simultaneously.

Unparalleled speed boost, enhanced with the Silver Spear's special effect of 100% attack speed boost.

A ray of silver light bloomed between heaven and earth.

The guild leader had never seen such a rapid burst of gunfire. He believed that even an ordinary golden being would be caught off guard.

boom!

Before anyone could react, the gunshot hit.

Within its terrifying weight lay a host of despair-inducing enhancements. Based on pure impact, its unyielding sharpness and a host of ultimate damage effects easily shattered the enemy's ultimate armor.

The Unyielding Spear Technique: One Spear Pierces the Heart.

Only when he holds the Everlasting Dragon Spear is a person truly at his peak.

Gun Master and Dawn's massive true damage shattered all defenses. The guild leader listened to the dense notification sounds and watched helplessly as his health plummeted to rock bottom. The terrifyingly high damage left him stunned on the spot.

But in that brief moment, the silver light was by no means fleeting.

Transforming the thrust into a slash, the Undying Slash Spear Technique swept across, while the Cold Edge, still in the heart cavity, shifted horizontally, cutting the enemy in two. Immediately afterwards, the Undying Smash Spear Technique fell, directly smashing the person's head.

This was damage that far exceeded the limits of death; even the strongest warriors, whose physical bodies might not be able to break through the defenses, were as fragile as paper in front of the silver spear.

But the president did not perish; instead, 270,000 ants exploded without warning, rising like fireworks on the battlefield.

United as one – maintaining close contact with all members of the Ant colony.

With united will, we will overcome any harm that we ourselves cannot bear.

The chairman's will finally took control of his body, and a single thought instinctively arose in his mind.

"run!"

Inside the underground command post.

The strategy team leader pinched his thigh, then slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Change the queen ant! Change the queen ant!"

He felt like he was going crazy. What kind of monster was the other side? One shot had almost killed the guild leader.

……

On the battlefield.

The president's broken figure became illusory.

Jiang He directly activated the Imprisonment skill of the Eternal Regret Dragon Spear. This skill can imprison the target for two seconds. After each upgrade, its rank depends on the Dragon Spear's Undying level, and its effect is significant.

The exchange of life and death between the king and queen was interrupted.

Within two seconds, Jiang He unleashed twenty-four shots, each a move of the Six Meteor Spear Technique. This resulted in the largest mass extinction of human-ants to date, with over a million human-ants exploding on the spot, and the densely packed battlefield of the black tide showing signs of dilution for the first time.

The confinement period has ended.

The president almost burst into tears of joy. For a moment, he even thought that this domineering confinement might last until death.

The switch began, and his figure vanished.

Suddenly, a queen ant with its belly stuffed with supernatural explosives appeared out of nowhere.

Boom!

An explosion occurred on the ground, sending flames soaring into the sky.

Jiang He wielded his spear with one hand, his body enveloped in silver light, and his Unyielding Spear Control Technique deflected all impacts.

After a while, the fluctuations subsided.

A crater a hundred meters in diameter was left behind. Jiang He wiped a drop of blood from the spearhead and smeared it on the cursed blood ring on his right hand, but the tracking failed. This was because the level of the cursed blood ring was insufficient, and because the opponent had strong enough cover.

"They do run fast."

Jiang He turned around calmly, and behind him, hundreds of thorns gathered the flesh and blood of millions of exploded human ants like a broom.

……

"Run! Run now!"

At the far end of the command desk, the guild leader whispered with lingering fear, "We can't take the Ninth Fortress. That guy is a Silver Overlord. You may not understand, but it doesn't matter. In short, I have absolutely no chance of winning against him in a one-on-one fight."

Most of the people present did not understand the meaning of "hegemon," so the strategy team leader explained with difficulty:

"The so-called hegemon is the pinnacle of hegemony in an era, similar to a unipolar world with multiple strong powers. No single superpower can stand against it, and whether they can survive depends on their own survival skills."

The strategy team leader sighed heavily and said helplessly, "Even if our entire guild were to fight to the death, the chances of winning would be extremely slim. Only other powerful forces can provide assistance in that kind of battlefield."

Just as the vice president was about to step forward and call for a retreat, the notification sound of the battlefield for all beings rang in his ears.
