An island nation, the Eastern Capital.

On a giant GG banner in the street, idol groups are singing and dancing, while drunk office workers are making a ruckus in the street, tugging at their ties.

None of them knew that the end of the world had arrived.

The black water in the underground sewers began to boil, and dark red runes flashed by in the waterworks' storage tanks. A canister of highly concentrated demonic gene virus had already been integrated into the country's water cycle system.

Inside the izakaya, a middle-aged man raised his glass and took a big gulp of beer.

"Cool!"

He had just burped when his expression changed.

His blood vessels bulged under his skin, and his muscles began to twitch.

"Ah...ah!!"

Amidst screams, the man's back suddenly arched, and the sound of bones shattering could be clearly heard.

"Pfft!"

A pair of bloody, fleshy wings pierced through the suit and spread out.

His jaw dislocated, fangs grew out, and his pupils turned a dark yellow.

A low-level demon was born.

It grabbed its companion and bit off its neck. Blood spurted out, and panic erupted instantly.

"Monster! There's a monster!"

"Help! Call the police! Call the police now!"

The crowd screamed and scattered in all directions.

But this is just the beginning.

On the streets, in shopping malls, subway stations, and apartment buildings, countless people who had drunk the water collapsed and convulsed, turning into monsters that devoured people amidst the strange sounds of flesh and bone reforming.

Chaos spread rapidly.

The sirens had barely sounded when they were completely drowned out by the monster's roar.

……

Demon Wings, Command Hall.

Morgana sat on the throne, holding a glass of red wine, watching the devastation of the island nation on the holographic screen in front of her.

On the long, narrow island, red dots representing newly born demons are spreading rapidly.

"Your Majesty, the virus is spreading even more efficiently than expected," Atai typed excitedly. "This race's genetic sequence seems to inherently carry a certain base servility and madness. Their rejection response to the demon gene is extremely low, with a conversion rate as high as 98%!"

"Hmph." Morgana sneered, swirling her wine glass. "A bunch of perverted people, their faces are twisted to begin with."

"Turning them into demons has allowed them to revert to their true nature."

She took a sip of her drink, her eyes turning cold.

"Atai!"

"exist!"

"Cut off all external communications of the island nation!"

Morgana put down her wine glass and stood up.

"Undersea fiber optic cable, cut."

"Satellite signals, jammed."

"Radio waves, interference."

She reached out her hand and clenched it in mid-air.

"I'm going to turn that island into an isolated island!"

"To prevent those inside from getting out, and to prevent outside information from getting in."

"Turn that place into a real demon incubation pool!"

"Yes, sir!"

The computing core of Demon One was running at full power, and an invisible barrier of dark energy enveloped the entire island nation.

Cell phones lost signal, TV screens turned static, and internet connections were interrupted.

The island nation's people, desperately seeking help, discovered that they had been abandoned by the entire world.

Wailing, screams, and the sounds of chewing bones echoed across the isolated island.

……

Giant City, villa.

Lu Xiao was sitting on the terrace drinking an iced cola when her hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.

A foul odor drifted in on the sea breeze.

"Um?"

Lu Xiao put down his cola and frowned. He closed his eyes; as a former Astartes and also a think tank, the enhancements of his third-generation divine body made him extremely sensitive to filth.

His consciousness extended beyond the sea, locking onto a mass of death rising from the eastern sea.

Lu Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.

"Island nation".

He stood up, walked to the railing, and gazed at the eastern night sky. The city lights that should have been there were now just a deathly darkness.

"System, scan in that direction," Lu Xiao commanded in his mind.

A golden tactical interface unfolds on the retina.

[Warning: Extremely high concentrations of corrosion reaction detected.]

[WARNING: The target area has been sealed off by a high-intensity dark energy field.]

[Analysis Result: A large-scale demonic proliferation event.]

Lu Xiao looked at the analysis report and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Morgana.

He whispered the name.

"You heretic, your mind is full of depraved thoughts."

"But I must say," Lu Xiao reached out and patted the railing, "you're a really good person in this matter."

There was no pity in his eyes, but rather a sense of pleasure.

"Are those Japanese devils even human?"

Lu Xiao muttered to himself, his voice icy.

"Then it's not human."

"He's a beast."

"They are a bunch of beasts in human skin."

He recalled the records in history books and the inherent baseness of this nation.

But now, they have become demons, heretics, and enemies of humanity.

"That's great." Lu Xiao cracked his neck, his cervical spine making a popping sound. "Finally, we can just slaughter those little devils."

"I have no psychological burden whatsoever."

"It could even be considered as accumulating good karma."

He brought up the system's armory in his mind, his gaze sweeping over rows of power armor, finally settling on the largest piece of armor.

[The Unyielding Terminator A]

"It's you."

Lu Xiaoxin had a sudden thought.

"Attire!"

hum!

Golden light enveloped Lu Xiao, and his heavy leg and chest armor rapidly closed, servo motors humming. Two seconds later, only a blue steel giant adorned with a golden double-headed eagle remained.

But this is not enough.

Lu Xiao looked at the weapon options.

"Since we're going to clean up the trash, we need to use some efficient tools."

His gaze was fixed on the shoulder guardrail.

Cyclone Missile Launcher

[Ammunition: Miniature Nuclear Fusion Missiles (Unlimited)]

"Additional installation."

Click!

Two box-shaped missile launchers appeared on the shoulder armor of the Terminator armor, their black launch ports chilling. Each missile was enough to level a city block.

Lu Xiao raised the robotic arm and looked at his empty hand.

"Let's have some more melee combat."

"After all, we'd only feel relieved if we chopped them up."

With a flash of light, a massive power axe appeared in his right hand, its blade shimmering with a blue disintegration field. At the same time, a storm shield, almost as tall as a person, materialized in his left hand.

Fully armed.

Lu Xiao stretched his body, feeling no sluggishness from the several-ton armor.

"Get ready to clean up the trash."

boom!

Blue flames erupted from the engines on the back of the Terminator armor, shattering the terrace floor. A sonic boom cloud exploded in mid-air, and he transformed into a streak of blue light, tearing through the atmosphere and flying eastward.

……

Over the island nation.

Ato hovered above the clouds, looking down at the city below, now a living hell. In half an hour, it had fallen, a place ablaze with fire and filled with the howls of demons. The island nation's resistance was negligible.

"Your Majesty, the first phase of transformation is complete," Ato reported via communicator. "It is expected that by dawn, there will be no survivors left on the entire island nation."

"Very good." Morgana's voice came through. "Continue monitoring. If any members of the Super Soldier Squad approach..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ato suddenly looked up at the western horizon.

There, a blue meteor is rapidly growing larger.

Be

Ato's pupils suddenly contracted, and a sense of fear surged into his heart.

"Queen! He's here!" Athos's voice became urgent. "That Astartes! He's here!"

"What?!" Morgana exclaimed through the communicator. "So fast? Doesn't he need to sleep?!"

"He's charging straight at us!" Ato exclaimed, watching the approaching meteor and feeling the overwhelming pressure. "And his energy is off! It's stronger than last time!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xiao had already arrived.

Wearing several tons of Indomitable Terminator armor, he plummeted straight down from the stratosphere without slowing down.

Boom!!!

A deafening roar shook the earth, and a small mushroom cloud rose in the city center. The shockwave shattered all the glass within a radius of several kilometers.

Amidst the smoke and dust, the original crossroads has transformed into a meteorite crater tens of meters deep, with lava flowing at the bottom.

Amidst the thick smoke and flames, a massive figure rose to its feet.

"roar!!"

From the surrounding ruins, hundreds of demons, drawn by the loud noise, roared and surged in from all directions. They were devoid of reason, knowing only how to kill, and instinctively felt threatened and yearned for the blue giant at the bottom of the pit.

Eat him! Tear him to pieces!

The demons poured into the crater.

Lu Xiao stood still, watching the monsters rushing towards him, their twisted limbs and faces that still retained human features.

Those are the faces of islanders; even when they become demons, they remain lewd and ferocious.

"So ugly," Lu Xiao's synthesized voice rang out, "So ugly it makes me sick."

He didn't raise his weapon; with a slight thought, the covers of the two missile launchers on his shoulders popped open.

"For the Emperor."

call out!call out!call out!call out!

Twelve miniature missiles, trailing plumes of flame, were launched and exploded in the area where the demons were most concentrated.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The white light engulfed everything, and it seemed as if twelve suns had risen in the center of the East City.

The intense heat instantly vaporized everything within a 500-meter radius; the demon was reduced to particles before it could even scream, and the ground melted into glass. The shockwave spread outwards, blowing away buildings even further away.

……

High in the air, Atto was tossed about by the turbulent air currents. He stared dumbfounded at the flattened streets and the rising mushroom cloud below.

"What...what the hell is this fighting style?!" Ato cursed, "They dropped a nuclear bomb right off the bat?!"

"Is this a rescue? This is clearly a massacre!"

Morgana, standing on the demon's wings, was also stunned. She stared at the blank white screen with her mouth agape.

"Depend on!"

"This kid is even more ruthless than his mother!"

"That's a nuclear bomb, isn't it? It might be a little weak, but it's definitely a nuclear fusion reaction!" Morgana pointed at the screen, looking at Atai. "Didn't he call himself a Space Marine? Didn't he want to protect Earth?"

"Is this supposed to be protection? This looks like demolition!"

Atai swallowed hard, wiping away cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, according to data analysis, he doesn't treat the islanders as human beings at all. In his logic, these infected targets are considered 'filth that must be eliminated'."

The white light on the screen faded, the crater expanded several times over, and lava flowed across the ground.

At the epicenter of the destruction, Lu Xiao remained motionless. The Terminator armor's shields blocked the intense heat and radiation of the nuclear explosion, leaving him unharmed.

"Ammunition loading."

Lu Xiao gave the order, and the system instantly replenished its missiles, with another twelve miniature nuclear bombs in place.

He strode forward, his boots creaking on the vitreous ground. He stepped out of the crater, gazing at the ever-growing demons in the distance, and at the city itself.

Lu Xiao raised his power axe, the blade pointing straight to the sky.

"Heretics don't deserve to live."

"Aliens are not worthy of breathing."

"And you..." His gaze swept over the trembling island demons, "you don't even qualify to be heretics."

"You're all trash."

"Since it's garbage, it should be burned."

The transmitter on his shoulder locked onto several more demon gathering points.

call out!call out!

Two more missiles were launched, and distant buildings collapsed in flames.

Lu Xiao began his charge.

With the aid of thrusters, the Terminator armor moved at incredible speed, crashing directly into a group of demons.

With a sweeping motion of the power axe, a disintegrating force field cut through the air, slicing more than a dozen demons in half.

Storm Shield Strike! Bang! A gigantic mutated demon was smashed into a cloud of blood mist.

This was a one-sided massacre.

Lu Xiao walked, killed, and launched missiles at the same time.

Wherever he went, he left only ashes and ruins.

"Cool."
