After devouring a massive amount of flesh and blood, Huang quickly returned to his peak condition. His terrifying strength was now even more frightening than before. He had become a true one-man armycapable of holding the sea entrance alone.
"But it's not realistic to rely on Huang alone to defend the entire Xia Kingdom."
Jiang Yi's gaze was calm as he observed all of Blue Star from a godlike perspective. The changes brought by the addition of the original virus solution were far more exaggerated than he had imagined.
It wasn't just the ocean beasts. The ferocious beasts on land had also advanced in multiple ways. There were even many humans whose physical fitness had suddenly strengthened, reaching the minimum standard to be judged as warriors.
Correspondingly, the war between humans and ferocious beasts grew more intense and more bloody.
[Due to the host's intervention as the hidden mastermind, both ferocious beasts and humans rapidly became stronger. Correspondingly, the effectiveness of thermal weapons gradually decreased. Human scientists worked day and night and began developing new weapons of war.]
[Finally, an electromagnetic cannon with terrifying lethality was developed and deployed at the sea estuary and at key protected wild zones to guard against invasions by top-tier ferocious beasts.]
At the same time, warriors fully became humanity's main fighting force. Warriors wielding special blades were overwhelmingly powerful on the battlefield, gradually replacing the outdated firearms of the old world. Every year, large numbers of warriors died in battle against ferocious beasts.
As the system's narration continued, Jiang Yi's figure suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
This was an urban ruin from the old human world now occupied by hordes of ferocious beasts: mutated cats and dogs, along with orangutans and tigers that had escaped from zoos. Under the influence of the meteorite virus, all animals had become enormous and savage. Any one of them would have caused a sensation in the ordinary world.
"Kill!!"
"Kill all these beasts for me!!"
Under the cover of heavy tanks, a large number of warriors surged forward. Their movements were as fast as lightning. Blades in hand, they threw themselves into the most primitive, brutal life-and-death struggle against the beasts using their own blood and flesh to ignite the torch of human survival, and to illuminate a path through this dark doomsday world.
Cold steel reflected resolute faces. Scarlet blood ran along the edges.
Even though Jiang Yi did not belong to this world at all, he couldn't help but respect the warriors.
Humanity here was trapped in desperate circumstances. Almost every country had been wiped out, leaving only the lone Xia Kingdom struggling to hold on. Even with the help of Huang, the Martial Ancestor, Xia Kingdom still suffered heavy losses. Countless people had been wiped out by the virus and ferocious beasts, and vast residential areas had been swallowed by sudden waves of beast attacks.
Every human heart was heavy.
If humans wanted to rise again and become Blue Star's dominant race, it was not something that could be achieved by words alone.
For the sake of stable lives for future generations…
For the sake of families no longer being torn apart by beasts that appeared without warning…
For the sake of living up to the power they carried…
Every warrior held a belief: that death could be as weighty as life. They gambled everything on their will to remain human hoping to carve out a brighter future for mankind, and to reignite the flame of civilization on the verge of being extinguished.
"The spirit shines brightly like gold," Jiang Yi said softly, moved.
And it wasn't only this battlefield. The entire border of the Xia Kingdom was like this. Birds and beasts even slipped through air-defense nets and invaded the interior. Because of that, Xia Kingdom's air-defense firepower was almost never shut down.
"Who would have thought that such a tragic scene exists only because aliens need a breeding farm…" Jiang Yi murmured, staring at the misery of the deduction world.
In the end, it was because humans were not strong enough. If they were strong enough, they would not be kneaded at will by aliens nor would Blue Star be used as a breeding ground to cultivate devouring behemoths.
Jiang Yi had no perfect solution. He could only deduce again and again, obtain more and better rewards, and while strengthening himself, slowly change the real world.
Even Blue Star in the real world was headed toward the same fate.
[While the host was sighing, twenty years passed unknowingly in the deduction world.]
[In the past twenty years, the evolution of ferocious beasts became faster and faster, while humans successfully developed second- and third-generation genetic potions. All warriors followed Huang's teachings and focused on body-training methods. They were no longer constrained by the strength limits of genetic potions.]
[Because of this, the human front was not breached by the ferocious beasts. The two sides remained locked in stalemate. From time to time, fierce large-scale battles erupted, crippling each side's advanced combat power.]
However, twenty years later, that balance was broken by something powerful enough to change the entire war.
[Within those twenty years, the three-clawed dragon continued absorbing the power of the original virus liquid and fused it with nuclear radiation. In the end, it shattered its evolutionary limits and became an even more taboo existence.]
As the system spoke, it seamlessly shifted the "screen" to the deep sea.
"Oh? The three-clawed dragon has finally evolved?" Jiang Yi's eyes lit up.
Within his sight, dark clouds churned above the deep sea. Lightning and thunder raged violent and lifeless. Heaven and earth fell into a suffocating silence. Apart from the slap of waves, there was no other sound.
In other words, no ocean beast dared to move before the emperor.
A massive, vigorous dragon body coiled and surged upward from the deep. It burst through the sea surface, revealing an ancient, majestic, terrifying head. No one could accurately estimate how long the body hidden beneath the sea truly was.
Heavy horns. A beard whipping in the wind. Everything about it radiated an aura of nobility and dominance.
Boom! Boom!
The sky darkened as a terrifying thunderstorm brewed. Thunderbolts as thick as buckets descended
Yet each one was caught by that ancient creature and swallowed alive.
As its body twisted, a sharp claw tore out of the water. Five extremely sharp dragon toes gleamed in the storm.
Five-clawed dragon!
