Douluo: My Clone Simulates the Star God.

Chapter 273 Long Haochen - Preservation

"They arrived so quickly? Don't those monsters need any rest?"

Not only Long Haochen, but all the senior executives in the conference room showed expressions of shock. How long had it been since they retreated from the battlefield? How could the enemy have caught up with them so quickly?

If this were in a city, it wouldn't be a big deal, but this is humanity's stronghold! With thousands of lights shining behind them, how could they possibly retreat?

"There's no other way... Although this is very likely the last battle between us humans and the demons, we can only fight to the death now!"

Long Haochen stood up from his seat with some difficulty. The three forces within his body were still colliding, but even so, he was still the chairman of the Holy Temple Federation!

Long Haochen had already been saved once by his father and grandfather, and now he absolutely could not run away again! Even if he was covered in wounds, he absolutely could not abandon anyone!

As Long Haochen stood up once more, golden light shone from his body, illuminating the entire hall. Although he still suffered from the unbearable pain of his illness, he had no other choice. Humans and demons had to fight a final battle, even if they had no time to prepare!

To be honest, when we fought the demons before, we had already made thorough preparations. In addition, with the unity of all humans, we were able to fight the demons to a standstill.

However, the current situation of humans and demons has become extremely bad. Without logistics or support, they can only fight a war they are destined to lose... But even so, Long Haochen is absolutely unwilling to watch others die in front of him again.

Therefore, the only option is to fight to the death!

Even if there is no road ahead at all!

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Temple Alliance, a group of green Shrek monsters had already invaded the area.

Seeing this, the surrounding demon hunters immediately launched a counterattack, preparing to cover the escape of the residents. But... how could the weak demon hunters possibly cover the escape of the others from those Shrek monsters that were at least level eight?

Absolutely impossible!

"Even so, we must buy them a sliver of time to escape! The Federation will absolutely not abandon us!"

Even knowing that a dead end lay ahead, the members of the Demon Hunter team would never abandon their duty to protect humanity. Instead, they would fight with all their might to force the Shrek monsters to retreat, and then immediately self-destruct…

Because the members of the Temple Alliance had already learned about these monsters through battle, and that after the humans died, they would also be infected by these monsters and become one of them.

Therefore, some conscientious members of the alliance, knowing they cannot resist such corruption, will choose to self-destruct to prevent themselves from turning into monsters; in their own words, it is...

"At least I can die as a human being, instead of becoming some ugly monster that's neither human nor demon, and that plagues humanity!"

That's right, that's how it's generally perceived. While these monsters possess incredible power, they're undeniably ugly. Rather than becoming one of them, I'd rather just self-destruct…

War was imminent, but ordinary demon-hunting groups were no match for the Shrek warriors and could only retreat while fighting, just like the powerful warriors of the Holy Temple Federation before them. However, without the help of those ninth-tier experts, their retreat was obviously much faster.

At this critical moment, a golden sword light descended from the sky, instantly killing all the eighth-tier Shrek monsters. It even cleverly vaporized the spilled blood, preventing it from falling on the humans.

"Order all humans and demons to retreat. We'll cover their retreat!"

Once on the battlefield, how could Long Haochen possibly show his weakness? So his majestic voice quickly spread throughout the sky, and Long Haochen drew his sword and shield, standing in front of the Shrek warriors.

And standing behind him were the top combat forces of the entire Federation!

With the Holy Temple Federation right behind them, they absolutely cannot back down!

Even though his body had become weak and he needed Cai'er, who was hiding in the shadows, to support him, Long Haochen still stood in front of these Shrek monsters. Even though their strength was far inferior to what it used to be and they could be torn apart by these monsters in the next second, he had no intention of giving in.

At that very moment, Long Haochen's eyes went blank. He stood there, stunned, as if he had seen something, unable to utter a sound for a long time.

"What exactly is that?"

As if floating in space, Long Haochen felt nothing. But when he looked closely, he discovered a familiar presence staring at him... Wasn't that the amber-colored stone giant? What was he going to do?

Before Long Haochen could react, the figure in front of him, which was larger than a planet, picked up the incomparable giant hammer and aimed it at him!

"Guardian Star God Kripper?" Suddenly, something seemed to have been shoved into Long Haochen's mind, and his expression completely changed, because he learned the name of the being before him. "Are you planning to give me power?"

However, Cripper did not speak, but continued to swing his big hammer and smash it down hard on Long Haochen!

"Storage protection".

This is what Long Haochen felt... or rather, what he perceived under Kripper's giant hammer!

Is it really just a concept?

Even Long Haochen was shocked. If that's the case, then this Guardian Star God is probably no ordinary being!

Having had contact with Dream Paradise, Long Haochen had some understanding of the power of gods, but this Guardian Star God was more powerful than any god he knew.

"I'd do anything to protect those I love!"

Under the amber light, Long Haochen's body underwent a tremendous change. Even the Shrek Blood that had been eroding his body was swept away by this unknown energy.

"I've never had an experience like this before... I feel great right now!"

Feeling the power surging through his body, Long Haochen gripped his sword tightly. A golden wall immediately emanated from him, spreading outwards to protect all humans and demons within it.

Even the Shrek monsters that charged forward were directly blasted away by this terrifying power. The weaker ones were even directly eliminated. Even those who survived were no longer the arrogant and domineering monsters they had been before.

"Haochen? What's this?"

"As expected of the captain, he unleashed such power in a moment of crisis!"

Although the humans and demons around them were unaware of what was happening, since Long Haochen had unleashed such power, why couldn't they cheer? After all, this was their first minor victory in their battle against the Shrek monsters!

"No, it's not over yet!" Long Haochen stared at the center of the Shrek group. "There's still a powerful enemy!"

Sure enough, the moment the words fell, a figure flew out from the Shrek monsters and appeared in front of everyone.

"Not bad, let me, Xuanzi, meet you, you newly born destiny traveler!"
