My Apocalypse Territory

Disaster struck, and for thirty years, the people of the Royal Capital, who had hardly ever fought against Dark Creatures, were now as fragile as paper at this very moment.

Many of the new generation, born after the construction of the walls, once believed that the Royal Capital was the entire world, never imagining that the Dark Creatures, spoken of in the elders' tales, could be so terrifying.

The Eternal Wall stood still, yet it was smeared with blood.

Countless Transcendent Tier Dark Creatures had scaled the city walls. Even with the advantage of the terrain and the multitude of city defense weapons, the few Transcendent Tier members of the Eternal Corps were simply unable to hold this strategic point in the wall.

Among them, very few had ample experience in combat.

The first to fall was the suburban area of the Royal Capital, where military strength was weakest and the population sparse.

In the suburbs, where thin and pallid serfs lived, there was no resistance to be had, even against the weakest of Dark Creatures.

Only among some of the Mercenary Corps stationed in the suburbs could some shouts of battle be heard, which quickly turned into screams and eventually faded away.

In the suburbs near the city wall lay a series of low buildings, forming the base of the Wing Corps.

Zabol was not present, and there were no Transcendents at the base, but under the leadership of Deputy Commander Mark, they tore a hole through the Black Tide, making their way towards their suburban base.

The High Tier Awakeners among the Dark Creatures fell easily to the hands of Mark and his men, as if they were made of paper mache, and were effortlessly annihilated.

Their levels had not increased much, and for those like Mark who were stuck at the bottleneck of Transcendence for decades without progress, their realm had stayed the same. However, their combat power had increased by several folds.

They forcibly broke through the encirclement of several Pseudo Transcendent Tier giant Dark Creatures.

Until they reached a small hill, surrounded by tiered fields, and before them, an unknown small village.

By now,

The village lay in ruins, houses collapsed, yet oddly, no human corpses were to be found.

The most striking thing in the fields was not the crops, but rather, the towering black stone towers and white towers.

Rune Arrows and Energy Light Bullets were being fired incessantly from the high towers.

The pursuing few Pseudo Transcendent Tier giants chasing after the "Wing Corps" were quickly eliminated.

Xing Yue, with the administrator rights bestowed by the Lord, remotely commanded the advanced defense towers to snipe Transcendent enemies, or personally took action, making corpses of several nearby Transcendent Tier Dark Creatures.

...

In other areas of the Royal Capital, where the defensive forces were stronger, they could only desperately hold on at this time.

Shouts of shock and screams of pain echoed throughout the Outer City District.

More and more areas were left with only the howling of Dark Creatures.

The Green Shadow Entertainment City in the Outer City District had now become the front line against the Black Tide; countless refugees poured in, those unwilling to cooperate and causing trouble were suppressed on the spot, while mercenaries, merchant guards, Awakeners from the Patrol Army, among others willing to cooperate, followed the command of Xing Ling and others. They held their ground relying on the terrain and defensive buildings.

Like a rock constantly battered by the black waves.

In the Inner City District,

It was the only area that currently held a stalemate against the Black Tide.

Some of the great noble mansions served as strongholds, activating Arrays to combat the Transcendent Tier Dark Creatures.

Even so, in just a matter of minutes, several noble mansions had been destroyed, and the expressions of other great nobles, including Duke Morton, were very grave.

He was a top-tier Transcendent and could slay one, five, ten, or even twenty Transcendent Tier Dark Creatures, but that was about it.

His power was limited, while Dark Creatures kept falling from the sky in endless numbers.

Duke Morton flew in the air, surveying far into the distance, and he could even see giant Dark Creatures, slowly crawling into the city from beyond where a large number of City Defense Soldiers had fallen on the Eternal Wall.

The city wall had been completely breached.

Easier than imagined.

It made those once unwavering believers in the defensive ability of the "Eternal Wall" introspect bitterly.

In the sky, across the rift, the Ruins Land stretched as far as the eye could see, a sea of Black Tide.

Even more countless Transcendent Tier Dark Creatures induced despair.

At such a critical moment, the experts of the Royal Family that they had hoped for failed to show up.

Among the five great Corps directly under the Royal Family, the strongest "Red Army," besides a few ordinary Corps members, high-level combatants were likewise nowhere to be seen.

Including Duke Morton, those who already had some knowledge or suspicion felt increasingly uneasy.

Their only hope was that the revived World Tree could create a miracle.

But if miracles were easy to come by, how could they be called miracles?

Originally,

At the sight of Nancy beating up the three Clan Leaders, many Transcendents were excited, thinking there was still a chance for salvation.

But then, when the Pope of the Doomsday Cult appeared and easily repelled Nancy, many Transcendents' hearts sank once more.

Unconsciously, most Transcendents had already sided with Tang Yu and his comrades.

One by one, falling into despair.

The reality was incredibly cruel; even from across a different space, that earth-shattering palm strike made everyone's heart tremble.

This is the end,

The end is near!

Humanity is doomed!

...

Boom!

The mountainous palm, suddenly shattered.

Turning into an endless stream of Source Qi, it dissipated and vanished.

Tang Yu and his defiant companions appeared before everyone's eyes.

The terrifying blast of wind blew off their hoods, shattering their masks.

As the wind howled by,

A head of unkempt, rebellious black hair danced wildly, like flames.

Gazing forward, a smile on his lips.

Stars in his eyes,

His words instantly became law!

A faint voice spread throughout the old Royal Capital and reached the new Royal Capital.

The Transcendents were violently shaken!

The First Bishop was terrified!

He lifted his hand again, gathering Source...

"Disperse—"

The bell-like voice echoed continuously.

The Source Qi that the First Bishop had gathered, like clouds and fog, dispersed in an instant.

He was horrified to find that within a kilometer radius around him, not a trace of Source Qi existed at that moment!

It had completely turned into an area devoid of Source Power!

With a single word, the law followed.

The First Bishop was greatly shaken.

"Suppress!"

Tang Yu spoke again.

His Telekinesis energy value was rapidly depleting.

Just as the First Bishop recovered from his shock, he discovered an indescribable pressure acting on him, on every inch of skin, every cell!

Source Power was nearly at a standstill.

Lifting a single finger was incredibly difficult.

It wasn't like pressing down a mountain, but rather, as if contending against a world!

The bishop roared silently, his eyes bloodshot!

He could not advance.

He could not suppress.

Tang Yu wasn't too surprised.

The suppressing force, when facing a third-tier Transcendent, couldn't be as effortlessly overwhelming as against a first-tier.

Looking up, the tender leaves of the World Tree were emitting a fluorescent glow in the night, like dazzling stars.

He opened his mouth again, this time uttering more than a single word.

"Scatter, fallen leaves."

The sound of rustling—

Leaves from the World Tree fell.

Like streaks of light, they contained the will of generations of Aino's powerful beings.

As if countless phantoms flickered into existence.

Will turned into substance,

The light arrived in a flash.

The First Bishop was terrified beyond measure, although having reached the third-tier, his body nearly immortal, capable of regenerating from a single drop of blood.

Yet at this moment, he still felt a profound threat of death.

He would die!

Even if his flesh remained, his soul would be annihilated!

Any technique, in the face of absolute lethal force, became useless.

His eyes were bloodshot, his bent fingers trembling violently.

Blood tears started to fall from the corners of his eyes.

His skin cracked in places.

"Ah!!!"

The First Bishop let out a deathly roar, suddenly erupting with an overwhelming momentum.

Swoosh—

Swoosh—

Swoosh—

He stepped back, his arm sliced by a leaf from the World Tree, the inches-long wound no longer healing.

Inescapable, a leaf pierced through his chest, his body violently trembling.

With a roar, he punched out, and his fist turned to dust.

With every penetration by a leaf of the World Tree, the First Bishop's aura slipped further.

His soul trembled, his spirit fractured.

His origin power was relentlessly drained.

His future path was cut off, the First Bishop was drenched in blood, all wounds unable to heal, his breath weak and spiritless.

He was... utterly baffled.

At the same time,

At an altitude of ten thousand meters,

An even more terrifying presence arose, completely scattering the colossal whirlwind.

A figure was sent flying,

Enveloped by streaks of purple-black dragons, as if possessed by demons.
