Douluo: My Clone Simulates the Star God.

Chapter 272 Long Haochen's Secret

Although Long Haochen spoke very passionately, almost no one present paid attention to his words, simply because Long Haochen's current condition was very bad and he was completely unable to fight.

"Ahem!"

Not long after, Long Haochen coughed again, which made the faces of both humans and demons present turn ugly.

"Haochen, how are you now?"

Saint Cai'er looked very worried. Hao Chen had only participated in one battle, but he had become so sickly. Even the priests in the priest temple couldn't see anything wrong with Hao Chen. They only knew that he was gradually weakening...

Seeing Cai'er's worried expression, Long Haochen forced a smile and even tried to show off his muscles with his right hand. However, to everyone's dismay, before he could finish his action, he made that familiar sound again.

"Ahem!"

Why is this happening?

Looking at Long Haochen's current situation, Sheng Cai'er felt very bad, even though everything was over!

With the death of Hao Chen's mount Hao Yue, the war between humans and demons came to an end. However, at this critical moment, monsters called "Shrek" descended from the sky, infecting the vast majority of creatures on the continent just as they had done six thousand years ago, and launching a fearless attack on the remaining humans and demons!

On that day, all six Divine Knights of the Knights Temple were present, along with countless human ninth-tier powerhouses. Even the demon race was represented, with the Demon Emperor leading Agares and Vasak, along with countless ninth-tier powerhouses, to participate in the war against the Shrek monsters.

The alliance between humans and demons is already the most powerful force on this Holy Demon Continent, bar none!

Even if a true god descended here, they were confident they could leave him completely trapped. However, the outcome of the battle took everyone by surprise…

The combined forces of humans and demons were almost instantly defeated the moment they clashed with Shrek's monsters, without even a chance to fight back.

Those below the eighth rank are not worth mentioning; some don't even qualify to be cannon fodder. The focus should be on the top experts.

Having just reached the eighth rank, they could only be used as cannon fodder, slightly stronger than others. After launching one or two attacks and realizing that their attacks were ineffective, they fell into the vast ocean of Shrek Academy. In just a few seconds, their skin began to turn green, and tentacles grew on their heads, turning them into members of Shrek Academy.

Upon discovering this, the ninth-tier powerhouse immediately informed the entire army, warning everyone to be wary of assimilation. Even so, the combined human and demon forces still suffered heavy losses.

Seeing no hope of victory, the allied forces immediately planned to retreat, but having come all this way, would it be so easy to go back?

These Shrek monsters are no ordinary beings!

Although they seemed to have low intelligence, their strength was surprisingly terrifying! Even though the human-demon alliance activated many forbidden spells, they were unable to completely subdue these monsters and could only fight and retreat.

Thus, a tragic scene unfolded: to cover the retreat of the allied forces, the six Divine Knights and the three Demon Gods made unimaginable sacrifices.

All three demon gods were seriously injured, and all of them suffered internal injuries. Although they did not appear to be in any serious condition, their bodies had been infected by the Shrek aura. If they were to go to the battlefield without suppressing it, it would be hard to say whether these three demon gods would turn into Shrek members.

If the demons are in such a state, the situation for humans is even worse.

There were a total of six Divine Knights, three of whom died in battle!

Long Xingyu, Long Tianyin, Yang Haohan, and another Starry Sky Holy Knight, Yang Haoyu, all perished on the battlefield, reducing the Knight Temple's high-level combat power by more than half!

Even the three divine thrones were lost on the battlefield, with no trace of them found... This was the best-case scenario. If these four hadn't risked their lives to cover the retreat for everyone, the rest of humanity, including Long Haochen, would probably have perished here!

Even with the sacrifice of four people, Long Haochen's body was still touched by the blood of those Shrek monsters... which is why he looks so sickly now.

The harm suffered by Long Haochen was not only physical, but also mental. The departure of his father and grandfather dealt him an unimaginable blow.

Even the most resolute person cannot be heartless, let alone someone as compassionate and righteous as Long Haochen.

Looking at Long Haochen sitting in the head seat, gazing at his wife Cai'er, the image of his mother's smile flashed through his mind again. Just like before, he had lost his loved ones once more, leaving only Cai'er and his mother...

Therefore, we absolutely cannot let them worry anymore!

Long Haochen concealed something from not only his fellow members of the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Team, but also from Cai'er and his mother... that is, there are three completely different forces clashing inside his body!

One of them is the spiritual power he has cultivated since childhood. Because of Haoyue, it has been fixed at the level of becoming a god and is unlikely to change in the short term.

The second type was the power of Shrek Academy. Long Haochen could feel how terrifying this power was; it was constantly eroding his body and mind, preventing him from unleashing his true strength…

Thinking of this, Long Haochen glanced at the three demon gods sitting at the edge of the temple's conference room. These three were probably in a similar situation to him, also corrupted by Shrek's blood. It's just that the demon race's bodies were stronger and they could endure it better than Long Haochen.

The third type... even Long Haochen had never seen it before, only knowing when this power appeared.

During the retreat of the human-demon alliance, Long Haochen was prepared to sacrifice himself to protect his elders and Cai'er, but his grandfather and father stopped him. It was at this moment that Long Haochen's gaze was drawn to a mysterious figure...

How should I put it? A giant, orange-yellow stone giant wielding a huge hammer? That's probably what kind of creature it is, right?

Although he didn't know who this being was, could Long Haochen sense that this power was constantly helping him resist the effects of the Shrek Blood within his body, preventing him from dying instantly...?

Even so, Long Haochen has now completely lost his fighting ability and is completely unable to go to the battlefield. He can't even use the Divine Throne.

Without him as the Federal Chairman, who knows how terrible the entire Federation will become! Especially with such a formidable enemy at hand!

The Temple Federation's discussions yielded absolutely no results; they couldn't even come up with a basic solution, until the voices of the crowd could be heard outside the conference room.

"Oh no! It's those Shrek monsters! We're doomed!"
