Worlds’ Apocalypse Online Chapter 499

Chapter 498 - Two good news

Proofreader:  Arya

The Freedom Confederate’s Eastern Sea.

Offshore.

A man with long, faintly brown hair stood on the surface of the water.

He was rubbing the stubbles on his chin as he went into thought.

“How unexpected…”

The man seemed to be sensing something as he muttered.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, the man finally crouched down and put his hand on the water surface.

A mystical wave went from his hand into the sea, expanding outwards across the water.

“Come, come, although you’re mutated monster… in the end you’re still sea creatures”

“So heed my call”

Oom——

Following his whisper, the surface of the ocean bulged up as a large sea creature surfaced.

A mutated sea creature.

Following it, more and more sea creatures heeded his call and headed here from the depths of the ocean.

As time passed, all the sea creatures had gathered.

They floated orderly and neatly around where the man stood.

They felt absolute fear and respect towards this small creature that summoned them.

The man looked at all these terrifying and strange sea creatures.

And he smiled.

“You are all my subjects, from now on, you are to follow my orders”

At a place quite close to where he stood, a sea creature howled in a low bellowing voice.

“Ah? You’re asking who I am?”

The man nodded: “I forgot, you should indeed know my name”

“I am the Demi in charge of water element for the Heavenly realm, you may call me the Water God”

“Now, move out all of you, for the glory of the gods, lay siege to the human cities”

On another side.

The Fuxi Empire.

At a certain metropolis.

A 5-meter tall Assault Mech was quickly approaching towards a strange creature.

The creature was ashen grey, its body covered in a slimy substance with tentacles sprouting from all over its body. It floated forward in the air.

Being bombarded by the mech’s attacks, the monster roared furiously.

Although their firepower was ineffective in killing it, the impact of the blast still caused it to feel a genuine pain.

The monster opened its ‘arms’, pulling the retreating Mech into its embrace.

Sss sssh shhh… crack!

The sound of metal being corroded came out.

Once the grey smoke had all gone away, the metallic components of the Mech had already been melted away.

Roar!!

The monster roared threateningly.

But across from it, countless Assault Mechs stood still without backing off.

This was an Assault Mech squadron.

None of the Mechs were controlled by humans.

Impartial Goddess had created a completely new tactical war AI for these cold, emotionless machines.

[Experiment results analyzed: Of all descended Wraiths, this is the weakest]

Impartial Goddess ordered: [All troops move out, eliminate it]

[For the Goddess!]

Every Assault Mech responded in a booming united voice.

The sound of machine engines roared across the sky.

The Mechs began their assault.

Despite the monster’s frenzied screams, the Mech still went forward.

Their battle had begun!

At the same time.

About three square blocks away from this area, there was a café.

Two men in casual clothing were enjoying their afternoon teatime.

As they heard the clattering noise of battle outside, one of them put the cup of coffee from their hand down.

“Quite the noisy battle” he commented.

“Nothing but a skirmish” the other had a cup of black tea as he sat with one leg crossed.

He only had his eyes half-opened, seemingly savoring the smell and taste of his drink.

There were no other sounds around them.

The café was completely silent.

They sat here, enjoying their drinks while discussing the battle outside.

“Aren’t we going to help that Wraith outside?” the one drinking coffee asked.

“You think you’re that strong?” the man drinking tea glanced over to him.

“At least I’ll have a much easier time dealing with these metal pests”

“No, our mission is to gather intel, to discern this world’s true level of power, not to protect the Wraiths”

“But we’re still allies, just sitting here enjoying tea while it fights for its life outside is a bit inappropriate isn’t it?”

“No such thing” the tea drinker answered: “There’s only one world, the Wraiths want to absorb it and we also want to absorb it, so who’s going to do that? ——that in itself is a big problem”

“Before we deal with this problem, it’s a bit awkward for us Demi to personally go into battle”

The other understood what he meant.

“You’re right, there’s only so many of us Demi, fight to the death and such, let’s leave that to the Wraiths, they’ll probably enjoy that more anyways”

The man drinking tea then spoke: “However, there’s a few interesting things in the human realm”

He reached his hand out to take a Holo-Brain from the breast pocket of a new corpse.

Taking a closer look, the floor of the café was filled with corpses.

They killed everyone here.

“What’s that?” the coffee drinker looked at the Holo-Brain and asked.

“A Holo-Brain, something humans invented, all of them had one”

The tea drinker tried operating it.

The Holo-Brain lit up by itself.

“What does this thing do?”

“I’m not sure either, I think it helps humans deal with some daily minor chores?”

“What can a small thing like that actually do?” the coffee drinker didn’t buy it.

The commotion outside quieted down.

Both of them looked over at the same time.

“One Wraith is still too few huh, not enough to deal with a few dozen metal dolls”

“Wait, look at them, what are they doing?”

Within the rubble, the Mechs captured and bound the near-dead Wraith.

They brought the Wraith up to the sky and flew away.

“Come, let’s go tail them” the tea drinker said.

At the same time, in a war command center about 8000 miles away from where they were.

Zhang Ying Hao had been silently paying attention to the 2 Demis near the Holo-Brain until they prepared to leave.

“Kill them” he said simply.

Impartial Goddess’ voice came: [Super Intercontinental Missiles preparing to fire]

[3]

[2]

[1]

[Direct hit]

“Battle zone surveillance” Zhang Ying Hao ordered.

Back on the screen.

The café was gone.

There was only a large crater left.

A few moments later, two figures came out from the crater.

“What happened? I’m sure I already blocked out my presence, how did they find us?” the coffee drinker was confused.

His cup of coffee was still slightly steaming, not even a drop had spilt.

“How interesting, very interesting, there must be something very crucial that we still haven’t figured out” the tea drinker replied.

He still had the Holo-Brain in his hand.

The coffee drinker looked up to the sky.

The Mechs had already flown away from sight.

“What now?” he asked.

“Let’s go take a stroll and get to know the life of humans”

“Is there a meaning in doing that?”

“Of course, we first have to understand this world well before we can conquer and rule over it” the tea drinker replied.

He also reminded him: “Next time, you can’t arbitrarily kill them like that, they are all our subjects”

“How unfortunate, fun always doesn’t last long” the coffee drinker regretfully said.

The tea drinker was also a bit regretful angrily explaining: “We need them, since there are so few of us Demis, and within the Samsara, only humans can mate with us to reproduce and give birth to our children”

“Also, you’re not allowed to destroy this world too much either——– since it is our property”

He carefully put the Holo-Brain away before heading towards a street without people.

The coffee drinker followed suit.

Zhang Ying Hao had the screen turned off.

Impartial Goddess’ voice came: [Their location is still being tracked with the moving Holo-Brain]

“Good, it’s been hard” Zhang Ying Hao said.

He gave the President a cigar, then took out another to offer Varona.

“Thank you, I’ll just have this” Varona showed him the female cigarette she had.

Zhang Ying Hao lit his cigar and took a long drag.

He then cursed: “This cigar’s farm and factory has been destroyed by 30 Wraith, damn them all”

“What do you think?” the President asked.

“For now, the information we have is good news” Zhang Ying Hao answered.

“Over 3000 Wraiths had appeared, and even more are coming as we speak; 10% of our cities have been destroyed, and you still think that is good news?” Varona asked.

“Even worse, a few of the Wraiths can be killed by Mechs, but there has been no examples of Demi being defeated” the President added.

Zhang Ying Hao took another drag from his cigar and slowly spoke: “That’s just how war is, the feeling of despair is always the opening act, but don’t get angry because of it, you’ll get pimples”

Varona said nothing to that and just touched her smooth white face.

The President spoke up: “Then I want to know what you’re calling good news”

“Very well, from the intel we’ve gathered, there was at least two good news” Zhang Ying Hao said.

“Which are?”

“Firstly, they don’t know how our technology works”

The President and Varona both thought for a bit and nodded to confirm.

The Holo-Brain that Demi had just now was already turned on, but he didn’t know that at all.

Zhang Ying Hao breathed out some smoke, speaking with clear eyes: “Secondly, their goal is to obtain this world, not to destroy it”
