Chapter 290: Utterly Shameless

As the order was issued, ten mechanical battle puppets took the lead and stepped forward.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Their massive steel bodies suddenly transformed, limbs retracting and armor sealing shut.

In the blink of an eye, they turned into ten colossal steel spheres, each hundreds of feet in diameter, and began to roll forward, crushing everything in their path toward the thorn forest.

Wherever they passed, countless poisonous vines and thorns were forcibly ground into powder.

High above in the sky, two Great Void Warships moved slowly forward.

They did not fire their main cannons, but instead opened the jet ports underneath.

Towering flames swept out, burning vast swathes of the remaining thorns into ash.

In just a few hours, the thorn forest, touted as the strongest defense line of the divine kingdom, was more than ninety percent destroyed.

The Vajra King Monkeys hiding in the shadows could finally no longer sit still.

Barrages of attacks crashed down, but upon hitting the mechanical battle puppets, they only sparked slightly.

Let alone destroying them, they couldn't even slow their advance.

The strongest defense line in the god's own words.

Hadn't even played the slightest role.

Instead, it caused the advance of Yang Fan's army to surge several times faster.

…

At the divine kingdom core, Qi Tian watched the scene on the front lines through the perspective of his believers, his entire body collapsing onto his throne.

"How is this possible…"

"Twelve war-type S-Rank Buildings!"

"How could a Demi-god possess such a foundation!"

Qi Tian's eyes widened, his voice trembling slightly.

"Human Race…"

"You are cheating!"

"Imprisoning me here for thousands of years wasn't enough, and now you've even brought out such resources!"

At this moment, he was increasingly convinced.

Yang Fan was definitely not some ordinary student.

But an existence sent by the upper echelons of the Human Race specifically to harvest him.

Just then, a Foundation Establishment Realm Vajra King Monkey stumbled into the great hall.

"My God! I have an important situation to report!"

"What is it?"

Qi Tian said irritably.

"Recently, many tribesmen have developed abnormalities after drinking water."

"Their skin is unbearably itchy."

"Even some of our Foundation Establishment Realm tribesmen have developed the same condition."

Hearing this, Qi Tian was instantly enraged.

"Itchy?"

"The front line is barely holding, and you come here to tell me about being itchy?"

"If you're uncomfortable, then pick up your weapons and go to the battlefield!"

"Get out!"

"Yes… My God…"

The believer hurriedly retreated.

However, the next moment, Qi Tian suddenly froze.

"Wait, no!"

"How could someone in the Foundation Establishment Realm develop these symptoms for no reason?"

"The water is the problem!"

Thinking of this, Qi Tian's expression changed drastically.

His Divine Sense instantly covered the entire divine kingdom.

In just a moment, his face turned completely pale.

In the rivers, large amounts of rotting flesh were slowly floating.

And at the edge of the divine kingdom, six massive Flesh Calamity Mother Nests were constantly pushing forward.

A large number of Zombie Kings scattered, scratching monkey groups they encountered before letting them go.

They would throw flesh into any river they encountered, and even some water sources were specifically "cared for."

Seeing this, Qi Tian trembled with rage.

"Shameless!"

"Utterly shameless!"

"Human Race Demi-god! You actually released a zombie virus!"

"Do you have any dignity as a powerful being!"

However, after cursing, Qi Tian slowly took a step back and slumped to the ground powerlessly, despair appearing in his eyes for the first time.

Zombie King, it was actually a Zombie King-level virus.

And it was discovered too late; now, nearly thirty percent of the believers in the divine kingdom were infected.

This included a large number of Foundation Establishment Realm experts.

What made him most desperate was that he couldn't connect to the network to buy detoxifying agents.

These believers could no longer be saved.

After a long silence, a ruthless look flashed in Qi Tian's eyes.

Since they couldn't be saved, he would squeeze out their last bit of value!

The next moment, a grand Divine Oracle spread throughout the entire divine kingdom.

"My people!"

"From now on, all believers are forbidden from drinking water from any river in the central region!"

"Those with physical abnormalities must stop Cultivating immediately! Report to the local military camps!"

"Join the front-line legions!"

"Fight for the divine kingdom!"

"Fight for the race!"

"War and slaughter can delay the spread of the symptoms."

"All infected individuals are to be incorporated into the vanguard army; no one is allowed to retreat without permission!"

As the Divine Oracle descended, countless Vajra King Monkeys knelt on the ground.

Qi Tian slowly closed his eyes; since these infected individuals were destined not to survive, he would send them all to the battlefield.

Even if he had to pile up corpses, he would drag down the pace of Yang Fan's army.

Countless Vajra King Monkeys surged out from the core area of the divine kingdom.

Under the command of high-ranking King Monkeys, hundreds of millions of demon monkeys quickly formed battle formations, like a black torrent, meeting Yang Fan's army head-on.

At the beginning of the formation, there was still some order.

However, under the crushing force of the Great Void Warships and the mechanical battle puppets, these so-called battle formations appeared exceptionally fragile.

The giant steel mechanical battle puppets rampaged, like mobile war fortresses.

The Great Void Warships hovered high in the sky; even before their cannon fire arrived, the mere energy pressure caused the formations to constantly collapse.

The demon monkey legions could only barely slow down the advance, but they were never able to cause effective damage.

Soon, the situation on the front lines began to change.

The movements of those Vajra King Monkeys gradually began to lag.

Their eyes became chaotic and irritable, and they even began to attack their own kin indiscriminately.

The formations collapsed, and the front lines disintegrated.

The situation of killing each other spread rapidly.

As the marshal of the entire war, Marshall Yang Si noticed the source of the abnormality immediately, "The infection spread is accelerating."

He did not hesitate at all.

"All war machines, engage in indiscriminate clearing."

"All infected targets are to be listed in the priority clearance sequence."

In his view, these Vajra King Monkeys eroded by the zombie virus had essentially become high-combat-power out-of-control units.

If they were not cleared in time, once they approached his own believers, it would only cause a larger-scale infection.

Rather than wasting detoxifying resources, it was better to simply erase them.

Watching the large swaths of demon monkey legions on the front lines in chaos, collapsing, and tearing each other apart, Marshall Yang Si even felt a hint of relief.

This war was even smoother than expected.

It could even be said… too smooth.

He silently gave a thumbs up to Yang Eleven in his heart.

…

As the army continued to penetrate deeper, the life aura of the divine kingdom became increasingly rich.

The surrounding vegetation began to reveal a strange "vitality."

The originally ordinary trees and vines now seemed to possess consciousness.

Vines extended wildly, wrapping around the limbs of the mechanical battle puppets, attempting to forcibly restrict their movements.

Even giant ancient vines uprooted themselves, growing thousands of meters into the sky, coiling like giant pythons toward the Great Void Warships, attempting to drag them down from the sky.

Yang Fan observed all this through the perspective of his believers, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "Yang Da, what is this?"

"Reporting to Master, it should be an S-Rank Defensive Building, of the Life-type branch."

"Specific information will need to be brought back to the divine kingdom before analysis and comparison can be completed."

Yang Da responded quickly.

"Defensive S-Rank Building?" Yang Fan chuckled, but a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.

"As expected of an Alien Demi-god in a Level 3 region, the foundation is indeed not bad."

He raised his hand slightly.

"For the next Dark Web auction, focus on screening for S-Rank Defensive Buildings."

"Our divine kingdom also needs to fill this gap."

"Yes, Master."

Yang Da immediately replied.

But he couldn't help but grumble in his heart.

With the current combat power of the divine kingdom, who needs that crap! It's clearly just having too much money with nowhere to spend it!
