A moment later, a tall figure dressed in elegant aristocratic attire descended from the sky and landed on the ruins of the wooden house.
It is Caesar, the true king.
He seemed to be drawn over by the loud noise caused by the shout.
He ignored Fan Xiao and the hooded girl lying on the riverbank and quickly approached the jungle, which had been ravaged by the roar.
But before he had taken more than a few steps, he saw Carmen, the Demon King, carrying two small corpses, emerge from the jungle.
The Demon King remained silent and gently placed the two corpses in front of the ruins of the wooden house.
Two corpses... were the deceased Lina and Melissa.
Carmen glanced at his two daughters, then stood up, twitched his nose, followed the scent to the north, and strode in that direction.
Caesar called out to him, "Carmen..."
*Snap*—Carmen placed her hand on Caesar's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Caesar, please look after Lina and Melissa for me. I'll be back soon to bury them."
After saying that, the Demon King leaped up and disappeared into the mountains and forests as quickly as a hurricane.
Caesar's expression changed slightly, and his brows furrowed deeply.
His gaze fell on the two girls on the ground.
Lina had been stabbed through the heart, and Melissa had a deep laceration on her neck. He could tell that both girls had lost their vital signs.
After a slight hesitation, he still chose to leave.
Wings sprouted from his back, and he flew into the sky, chasing after Carmen in the direction she had gone.
Only then were the restrictions on copying lifted.
Fan Xiao and the hooded girl regained their mobility.
The hooded girl vanished from the riverbank in an instant, and when she reappeared, she was already standing in front of Lina and Melissa's corpses.
Seeing their miserable state, she was filled with anger but had nowhere to vent it. She could only stomp her foot hard on the ground, creating a deep pit.
“There’s no time for sadness!” Fan Xiao came over and reminded her, “The history of the outside world is probably coming to an end. We need to hurry up and witness the final outcome and find clues to the ‘Tomb of Guilt’.”
"I know!"
The hooded girl took one last look at the twin sisters, then joined Fan Xiao in chasing after the direction the two kings had left in.
……
In less than a minute, the Demon King Carmen caught up with the human army.
He leaped into the air, his eyes bloodshot, looking down at the tiny humans below, and stretched out his arm to wave downwards.
He shattered the atmosphere, and a terrifying shockwave crashed down on the earth, like mountains falling.
If this attack lands, the army of over a hundred below will likely explode into a cloud of blood mist in an instant, their flesh crushed into dust and embedded in the soil, leaving only patches of crimson on the ground.
Just then, the true King Caesar appeared above the army.
His wings spread out and became enormous. As he flapped them forward, the immense force brought the swaying atmosphere to a stop.
The powerful shockwave falling from above was directly dispersed by his wings.
The earth-shaking commotion terrified the human army on the ground, who were as small as insects.
In an instant, screams echoed throughout the area. More than a hundred people completely disregarded military discipline and scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions.
"Carmen, calm down."
Caesar frowned and said, "Something's not right..."
"Get away!!!"
Carmen burst forth with dazzling lightning, soaring through the air as she swooped down toward Caesar.
The two kings collided, shattering the atmosphere and creating a vast vacuum.
Caesar was torn apart by the impact and fell to the ground. The earth cracked open with countless fissures due to the impact, and the cracks extended for thousands of meters.
The next second, Caesar stood up again in the pit, his injuries fully healed.
The blood he had previously shed seeped into the ground, spreading and expanding like a tsunami.
The surrounding land was swallowed by the gushing blood, which quickly turned blood red, and a sea of blood descended upon the mountains and forests.
Seeing this, Carmen, who had also landed on the ground, became even more enraged and uncontrollable: "He actually unleashed a sea of blood... Caesar! You are my friend, my only true friend, you... must you stop me?"
“Calm down,” Caesar said. “Something’s not right. You drove off the Silver City army that day; they shouldn’t have gone to that village after all…”
"Shut up! You're always like this, making up all sorts of excuses for humans...!"
Tears of blood welled in Carmen's eyes: "You can't understand why I'm so angry... Lina, Melissa, they're my daughters! I promised Aina I'd take good care of them... Humans! Damn, despicable humans, they've taken them away from me forever...!"
"..." Caesar's expression froze: "What...did you say?"
"Two years ago, humans killed my lover, and you stopped my revenge."
Carmen almost growled, "Now, humans have killed my daughter, and you... are you still going to stop me?!"
"You never told me this..."
"Now you know, get out of my way!!!"
Carmen's face was completely contorted.
Caesar was silent for a few seconds, then murmured, "I'm sorry... you're not calm right now, I can't let you do whatever you want."
"Hehe...hehe...haha..."
The betrayal by her friend completely shattered Carmen's last shred of reason.
He burst into laughter, his voice growing increasingly manic: "You're right, my friend, you're absolutely right, I'm not calm right now!"
"I have been too calm until now. I know the depravity of humanity, but I always hope that they will change one day."
"But I was wrong! They will always be this inferior! They will never improve!"
Carmen's face contorted into a ferocious grin, like an enraged lion: "I will kill all these despicable bastards...!"
"I want to create a world where only good people exist!"
"I... will lead humanity to evolution!"
"you……"
Just as Caesar was trying to dissuade his friend from acting impulsively, suddenly, violent lightning exploded in the mountains and forests, and the surrounding sea of blood was continuously evaporated.
The thunder had somehow already wrapped itself around Caesar.
His flesh was instantly torn apart by the lightning and burned black.
"Step aside!"
Carmen's angry shout rang out: "Otherwise... I wouldn't mind killing you!"
Thud—Caesar felt a blow to the chest, a bullet piercing through him.
He was blasted away by the immense force and crashed into a mountain behind him.
With a deafening roar, the mountain collapsed and exploded, sending debris flying everywhere.
Bullet-like shards of stone flew in all directions, and the hundred-man army that was fleeing in the distance was immediately caught in the crossfire. Fifty or sixty soldiers were instantly smashed into a pile of mangled flesh.
Carmen glanced at the right arm that had just blasted Caesar away and found that the flesh on it had fallen apart, as if it had melted, and dripped to the ground like liquid, soon leaving only bare white bones.
Those who came into contact with Caesar's arm paid a heavy price immediately.
But he is the king of the demon race!
The loss of his arm was like a scrape to him.
The next second, his right arm had recovered.
"I'm sorry... Carmen... you've... lost control... because of anger..."
Caesar's voice suddenly seemed to surround sound, echoing from all directions: "My friend...please...forgive me..."
"I...can only...do this..."
As soon as the words were spoken, countless drops of blood seeped from the soil, forming a sea of blood. The sea of blood spread outwards in one breath, covering the mountains and forests and the earth with overwhelming force.
"Roar……!!!"
Waves of screams echoed throughout the area.
The sea of blood surged, with enormous tentacles, ferocious mouthparts, wriggling worms, and swollen tumors emerging from it, swarming towards Carmen.
Eyes opened and mouths sprang open on their bodies, emitting a putrid, bloody stench...
The intense, distorted pollution eroded Carmen's body.
His arms, legs, and most of his torso exploded, turning into piles of writhing eyes, mouths, and alien organs.
"cough……!"
Carmen's mangled body fell into the sea of blood, coughing up large amounts of blood, and she immediately fell into a near-death state.
But his eyes remained bloodshot, and his face was filled with endless rage.
With his already damaged vocal cords, he let out a hoarse, low, and mournful roar: "Caesar... I... curse you!!"
"I curse this world...!!"
Boom——! ! !
Lightning struck from the sky, piercing the atmosphere and reaching the ground in an instant, igniting a sea of blood and shattering the earth's layers.
The sea of blood near Carmen was blasted away and evaporated.
For a moment, crimson and platinum intertwined.
The roar and thunder reverberated.
Mountains collapsed one after another, merging into a boiling sea of blood.
The speed at which the sea of blood spread gradually surpassed the speed at which it was evaporated by the lightning.
All life on this land stopped what it was doing at this moment out of biological instinct.
Human warfare came to a standstill at this moment.
Everyone—humans, Celestials, Demons, and players—looked with immense trepidation at the dark sky shrouded in dense clouds in the distance.
The ground beneath my feet kept trembling, and the tremors grew stronger and stronger.
It was as if the end of the world was about to arrive.
At this moment, Fan Xiao and the hooded girl had approached the edge of the battlefield of the two kings, but were stopped by the overwhelming momentum and dared not advance any further.
The two of them stared at the sea of blood in front of them for a while before they felt an itchy sensation all over their bodies.
Forget about watching the battle; they quickly retreated, fleeing the ever-spreading sea of blood.
More than ten minutes later, the sea of blood stopped spreading and slowly seeped into the earth, falling into silence.
Fan Xiao and the hooded girl exchanged a glance, then immediately changed direction and sprinted towards the center of the battlefield.
As they drew nearer, a faint voice, carried by the blood-stained wind, reached their ears: "Give them a proper burial..."
Upon hearing this, the two immediately quickened their pace.
The surrounding mountains and forests have all disappeared, turning into plains.
When they arrived at the very center of the battlefield, they saw only King Caesar.
Caesar's body was missing many parts and had become somewhat broken and damaged.
As if he had consumed too much flesh and blood, his wounds were healing very slowly.
At this moment, he was silently staring at the charred, empty space in front of him.
There, Carmen, the Demon King, who had fought to the point of exhaustion, his body shattered, and his self-healing power depleted, had vanished completely, dissipating into lightning.
After a long silence, Caesar, the true king, dragged his broken body and quickly left the spot.
He remembered his friend's dying words—to bury Lina and Melissa properly.
Ignoring his injuries, he rushed to the riverside cabin as fast as he could... and he froze.
The ruins of the wooden house, the river, the nearby forests... had long been destroyed in the aftermath of the previous battle.
