I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

I don't know who shouted first, but then the shouts from the entire defensive line merged into one.

"kill!"

Humanity's fighting spirit has been rekindled.

The artillery roared again, the fighter jets took off again, and the soldiers rushed out of their bunkers with their guns in hand.

On the riverbank, the powerful figures of the God-Making Project unleashed even greater combat power.

Lin Jinyu's flames burned even brighter, Pei Yuran's ice crystals condensed even thicker, Yu Sheng's blade moved even faster, and You Yao's spiritual power became even more solid.

Fu Wanqing and Fu Shiwei finally broke free from the entanglement of the two Calamity Kings, and with a backhand strike of their swords and a palm strike, they forced them back.

The entire battlefront was reignited in that instant.

Gu Yan, Gu Tan, and Cecilia all moved at the same time.

They charged toward the two kings of calamity.

The silver light of the Demon-Slaying Blade, Gu Tan's golden-red palm force, and Cecilia's silver-white electric arcs intertwined, like three enraged dragons charging towards the most terrifying being above the Black Tide.

At the very beginning of the battle, the humans gained the upper hand.

Gu Yan's Demon-Slaying Blade cleaved through the black barrier of the Male Calamity King.

The sound of the blade slicing through the black mist was sharp and piercing, like someone tearing a hole in the entire sky.

Gu Tan's golden-red palm strike followed closely behind, slamming into its chest.

The palm strike was incredibly powerful, as if it contained the weight of hundreds of years of cultivation.

The male calamity king was blasted backward and crashed through a row of abandoned factory buildings on the opposite bank of the river.

Cecilia's arc chains simultaneously bound the Queen of Calamities, and countless bolts of lightning exploded along the chains, tearing her silver-white dress to shreds.

The three worked together seamlessly, as if they had been fighting side by side for many years.

The two calamity kings suffered repeated defeats.

They were blasted open with wound after wound, and black blood was splattered on the river surface like blooming ink flowers.

The soldiers on the defensive line saw hope, and their shouts rose higher and higher.

The powerful figures in the God-Making Project are also suppressing the calamity on their respective battlefields.

It seems that humanity is truly about to win.

"How dare you—"

The male calamity king let out a low roar.

For the first time, anger appeared in its golden pupils, an anger that surged like magma.

The purple pupils of the female calamity queen were also burning.

It turned its head to look at its companion.

The two people reached out their hands at the same time.

Black mist surged from their bodies, like two giant black pythons, coiling around them.

The two figures merged into one in the black mist.

A strong wind was blowing across the river.

The entire river was trembling.

The river flowed backward, and the silt and sand at the bottom of the river were swept into the air.

The flying calamities in the sky fell one after another, as if they could not withstand the pressure.

After the black mist dissipated, a completely new entity appeared before everyone.

It is over five meters tall and its entire body is covered with black and white scales.

The left eye is gold, and the right eye is purple.

Behind it unfolded a pair of enormous wings formed from pure black mist, and the space itself distorted with each flap of the wings.

Its aura suddenly surged, like a volcano that had been ignited.

The previous two Calamity Kings were only at the peak of SSS level, but now, this combined being has crossed the threshold of godhood.

Gu Yan's expression changed.

He sensed that presence.

That was a level he had never experienced before, like standing in front of a mountain about to collapse, where even breathing became difficult.

Gu Tan and Cecilia also sensed it.

All three people tensed up at the same time.

The god-level calamity merely raised its hand slightly.

An invisible shockwave exploded outwards from it, sending all three people flying.

Gu Yan's back crashed through the river embankment, burying her in the pile of rubble.

Several of his ribs were broken, and blood was gushing from his mouth.

Gu Tan spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, and when he landed, he knelt on one knee, his knee hitting the stone slab and creating a dent.

Cecilia was thrown into the river and didn't resurface for several seconds, her long, silvery-white hair sticking wetly to her face.

All three were seriously injured.

The divine calamity did not pursue them.

Its gaze swept over the three people, finally settling on Gu Yan.

A dangerous glint flashed in those eyes, one gold and one purple.

"You're very interesting."

it says.

The sounds came from both throats simultaneously, one high and one low, overlapping each other, like two knives rubbing against each other.

"The power within you is very similar to that of the Black Tide."

"But that's precisely why you're so dangerous."

"Therefore, you must die first."

It moved.

The figure vanished into thin air and reappeared standing in front of Gu Yan.

The stone slabs on the river embankment shattered inch by inch under its immense pressure.

Its hand-blade slashed down, carrying the power to tear through space.

Gu Yan raised her knife to block, but the force was too great.

The Demon-Slaying Blade was jolted out of his hand and flew off, spinning as it plunged into the riverbank dozens of meters away.

He was forced to his knees by the weight of the stone slab beneath his knees, which shattered into powder.

The second strike of the divine calamity followed immediately, aimed straight for his head.

A figure blocked his way.

It was Chen Sinian.

He was wearing a suit of steel armor he had never seen before, the silver-gray armor gleaming coldly in the dim light.

That's the latest cutting-edge equipment developed by humankind, said to be able to withstand a full-force attack from an SS-level powerhouse.

But when the hand of the god-level calamity fell, the battle suit was torn apart like paper.

Chen Sinian's chest was pierced, and blood gushed out from the crack in his armor.

He was pinned to the spot, his feet carving two deep furrows in the ground.

"dad--"

Cecilia's voice came from afar, heart-wrenching.

Chen Sinian did not turn around.

He looked down at the bloody hole in his chest.

Then he chuckled very softly, a laugh mixed with blood and foam, that came out of his throat.

He turned around, looked at Gu Yan kneeling on the ground, and his lips moved.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but he still managed to speak every word clearly.

"Gu Yan".

"Please take good care of Cecilia for me."

"She lost her mother when she was young, and I raised her by myself."

"She may have a cold personality, but her heart is not."

Please bear with me.

"She has liked you for so many years, and I, as her father, have always seen it all."

"I...I really like you as my son-in-law."

"It's a pity I won't have the chance to attend your wedding."

He collapsed.

The silver-gray battle suit crashed onto the riverbank with a dull thud.

Cecilia staggered over and knelt beside her father's body.

Her tears fell in large drops, landing on Chen Sinian's battle uniform and on his chest, which had stopped heaving.

She didn't cry out loud.

She simply reached out and gently closed Chen Sinian's eyes.

"No……"

Her voice sounded as if it were squeezed out from deep in her throat, so soft that it was almost inaudible.

A god-level calamity stood before them, tilting its head slightly.

Its expression held no pity, only a condescending curiosity.

"Humans are so fragile."

"They're crying like this over the death of just one person."

"He's not dead yet."

It raised its hand and pointed at Gu Yan.

Another figure blocked Gu Yan's path.

It's Lin Zhenting.

His left arm was gone, and the empty sleeve swayed in the river breeze.

That arm was lost in an earlier battle.

He had already lost his fighting ability and was ordered to stay in the rear.

But he still came.
