Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

War base.

A massive war base on the riverbank, blocked by rocks and reinforced concrete, with numerous thick cannons aimed at monsters in the water.

"Boom!"

Deafening cannon fire erupted, blasting towards the countless monsters in the water.

A vast horde of aquatic monsters charged toward the war base in their own methods; Jiang Chen didn't recognize any of them.

Mammals, reptiles, arthropods, mollusks, coelenterates...

Before the Great Nirvana, the number of marine species was already enormous. The latest statistics show that, according to some sources, there were more than 20 known marine species, and it is estimated that the actual number was more than 10 times, exceeding 200 million.

After the Great Nirvana, all life evolved, and humanity completely separated from the ocean. Countless ocean monsters mutated and evolved in the water, hunting and competing with each other. No one knows how many kinds of aquatic monsters still exist today.

Countless aquatic monsters, their faces contorted in grotesque fury and their gaping maws gaping wide, charged toward the war base.

"Mr. Jiang Chen, please hunt down the lord-level monsters among the monsters." Commander Li's voice came through Jiang Chen's communicator.

"Understood." Jiang Chen nodded, his Black God Armor protecting him, and rushed into the water.

The water posed a significant obstacle to human martial artists. If it weren't for the Black God Set, Jiang Chen wouldn't have dared to so arrogantly descend into the water where the monsters were most concentrated.

Looking down from high above, a massive crocodile-like monster was rapidly advancing, its body covered in hard black scales. It remained unmoved by ordinary human artillery fire, only twisting its body rapidly out of fear of laser cannon fire, and quickly approaching the base.

A pair of gaping maws are even more terrifying. Crocodiles were already among the top ten in bite force before the Great Nirvana. After mutation and evolution, crocodile monsters have a bite force far more terrifying than monsters of the same level, and can easily devour steel.

The scales provide formidable defense, while the crocodile's mouth, filled with fangs and possessing an astonishing bite force, offers terrifying offensive power.

Although the laser cannons couldn't target the fast-moving monster, the overwhelming barrage of firepower still managed to hit some of its body.

But it didn't work!

The monster, with its powerful defenses, was not afraid of this barrage of fire.

"die!"

Twelve icy blades spun and shot toward the enormous mutated crocodile-like monster. The scales, which ordinary artillery could not penetrate, were easily pierced by the blades, like soft mud.

The twelve blades churned inside the monster's body, then retracted after a moment, and the enormous mutated crocodile monster collapsed with a thud.

"sharp!"

"Truly worthy of being called the invincible God of War!"

"It's so easy to kill such a terrifying monster."

The soldiers and warriors at the war base were overjoyed to witness this scene.

"Let's take care of the remaining few ordinary lord-level monsters as well!"

Jiang Chen's gaze was cold as he swept over the three enormous monsters below.

One was a giant, climbing fish monster covered in blue scales, its fins resembling thick arms, constantly crawling towards the war base.

The other two, or rather, two... were two enormous sea serpent-like monsters. One was completely black and incredibly fast; when it moved, it was so fast that you could only see a blur, making it impossible to aim accurately.

The other one is entirely black and white, with concentric rings. If ordinary people stare at the patterns on its body for too long, their vision will blur and they will experience hallucinations. It is a very famous sea serpent monster called the Curved Illusion Serpent Demon.

These three are the fastest. As lord-level monsters, they are like war gods among humans. Their speed is so fast that ordinary warriors and soldiers cannot even aim at them.

"call out!"

Amidst the flashing blades and gleaming spears, countless blades slashed through the air as they rapidly approached the three lord-level monsters. At the same time, Jiang Chen, clad in the Black God Armor and wielding a dark gold spear, stood on the ground.

With a sweeping motion of his spear, he easily swept away and killed one beast general-level monster after another.

For him, it was simple, but for other martial artists, being surrounded by a group of monsters at the level of beast generals would probably kill even a war god.

On one hand, he possesses psychic powers and is unafraid of being surrounded. On the other hand, he has the most powerful defensive suit currently available on Earth: the Black God Suit.

The Black God Suit is even more resilient than a King-level monster. To kill a human wearing the Black God Suit, one would generally need to rely on an astonishing impact force to literally shake the target to death.

Just like when Luo Feng first tried to kill Li Yao on Wudao Island, he couldn't kill him at all.

After all, the Black God Suit can absorb 90% of the impact force, and the remaining 10% is distributed throughout the body, allowing the force to be evenly distributed.

These monsters here are no match for the Black God Set, yet a group of beast general-level monsters and a few lord-level monsters want to kill Jiang Chen?

Totally impossible!

Therefore, Jiang Chen, now a high-level war god peak mentalist wearing the Black God Set, is invincible in this monster tide.

thump!

Seeing that he had killed most of the monsters on the shore, Jiang Chen stepped into the water with a splash, using the Sky-Piercing Shuttle to begin killing the lord-level monsters that were watching from the water and had not yet come ashore.

A bizarre, transparent jellyfish-like monster... a highly venomous sea serpent-like monster... a gigantic, exceptionally large whale-like monster...

One after another, enormous or bizarre aquatic monsters crashed against the foundation of the underwater war base, attempting to destroy it, penetrate its defenses, and venture deeper into the inland.

Jiang Chen wrapped his entire body in the Black God Suit for defense, and wielded a dark gold spear, actually honing his spear skills in the water.

Twelve blades, gleaming with a cold light, were wielded wildly, slashing towards the largest and most powerful monster.

Fighting in the water was a completely new challenge for Jiang Chen. Despite his rapid speed riding the Sky Shuttle, Jiang Chen felt waves of resistance in the water.

As he swung the spear, he also felt a resistance, a force that caused Jiang Chen's strength to drop by three levels.

The enemy is a monster that lives in the water, and its strength can be better utilized in the water.

A martial artist's strength decreases in water, while aquatic monsters thrive in it. With this imbalance, even a powerful warrior like a god of war wouldn't want to enter the water to fight the monsters.

This is also a source of constant headaches for human martial artists.

Of course, now that Jiang Chen possesses the Black God Set and powerful mental strength, he treats the resistance in the water as a form of tempering.

The spear was swung, and the blade spun to cut.

Jiang Chen was completely immersed in the battle. The resistance in the water seemed to have been greatly reduced. The terrifying and ferocious creatures on the other side, along with the densely packed aquatic monsters, were all within his calculations.

The speed exploded, and the water surface was stained red with blood.

Holding a long spear, with blades swirling around his body, Jiang Chen moved as if he were in an empty field, slaughtering the aquatic monsters with unpredictable and ethereal movements.

After an unknown amount of time, with the lord-level monsters all dealt with and a large number of aquatic monsters killed, the remaining aquatic monsters either fled or were killed.

The invasion of the aquatic monsters has finally come to an end.

splash

Jiang Chen broke through the water's surface, stepped onto the Sky Shuttle and soared into the sky, looking down at the war.

"Tragic, tragic..."

"Although we killed quite a few monsters, many soldiers still died under the monsters' siege..."

"This is war."

Jiang Chen saw Commander Li Dawei and landed in his direction.

Upon seeing Jiang Chen descend from the sky, Commander Li revealed a genuine smile. In the past month and a half, Jiang Chen had killed a large number of aquatic monsters here.

An invincible war god, a mentalist, and possessing the Black God Set—his killing efficiency is terrifying.

Moreover, he directly discarded the materials from the large number of monsters at the level of beast generals and ordinary lords that he killed, and donated them to the Chinese military as welfare.

"Same as always, I'll sell you the materials from that mutated crocodile monster, that phantom serpent, and that enormous high-level lord narwhal in the water. The materials from the other monsters will be donated." Jiang Chen walked over and said familiarly.

"Thank you, I'll accept it without hesitation." Commander Li nodded and said with a smile, "I'm very grateful to Mr. Jiang Chen for being here for the past month and a half."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly. In the past month and a half, he had helped them defeat seven level-three beast tides and one level-two beast tide.

Generally, one can earn tens of billions per day. A level 3 beast tide can earn about two to three hundred billion, and a level 2 beast tide can earn about four to five hundred billion.

Of course, the more money Jiang Chenmi earns, the more he donates. The largest donation he ever made was about 30 billion RMB!

Money on Earth is just a number to him now. What matters most is improving his own strength and acquiring some precious natural treasures.

Those things cannot be bought with money on Earth, and even if someone had them, they wouldn't sell them.

The holiday is over, and Jiang Chen is about to leave this war base.

Commander Li personally saw Jiang Chen off, and the two sat together on the road.

"How are the losses this month?" Jiang Chen suddenly asked.

"Sigh, if the war starts, dozens or even hundreds of soldiers will die every day, and thousands more will be crippled." Li Dawei shook his head and sighed. "This month has been very good. With you here, you've taken care of the most threatening monster lords every time, making it much easier for us to deal with them."

Li Dawei looked sorrowful.

Most importantly, the billions of sea monsters that Jiang Chen killed this time were just a drop in the ocean compared to the countless monsters in the entire sea.

No matter how many you kill, it's not as many monsters as the vast ocean, where monsters are born every day.

There are too few human warriors and the sea is teeming with monsters, which are everywhere. It's just that they can't go ashore for the time being, which is why the current situation exists.

Li Dawei's gaze was deep as he looked at the soldiers in the distance who were dealing with the monster's corpse, and he thought of his own experiences.

Li Dawei, born in 97, lived a peaceful and happy life before the Great Nirvana. At that time, he would chat with his classmates every day, brag, and talk about his favorite beautiful female classmates. Like most students, he lived a peaceful but boring life.

However, everything changed in 2015. Li Dawei's world went from heaven to hell.

The spread of the RR virus caused countless deaths in this disaster, including his relatives and his lover...

Neighbors, brothers, relatives, girlfriends... one by one they died. Li Dawei witnessed a hellish scene and suffered a major blow to his life.

But I later realized that it was just the beginning of a nightmare.

Countless monsters entered the cities where humans lived, and humans went from being the rulers to being "food," leading to a global human exodus.

Li Dawei witnessed countless people being torn to pieces and killed by monsters right before his eyes. Human guns and cannons were completely useless; those terrifying monsters, even under the onslaught of artillery fire, still easily devoured human beings one by one.

Bloodshed, chaos!

Li Dawei was one of the countless humans who fled during the Great Escape.

He became a warrior during the most intense period of the war between humans and monsters, constantly fighting against them.

It has continued...until today.

After the laser cannon was successfully manufactured, a stalemate was reached between humans and monsters, ushering in the Base City era.

Humanity finally had a chance to catch its breath, and at this time, Li Dawei also joined the army without hesitation to continue fighting against the monsters.

Li Dawei gazed at the distant ocean, a deep sadness in his eyes. "I've discovered... every year, new aquatic monsters appear, and even more powerful ones emerge."

"I'm terrified... Humans can't conquer the ocean, and monsters can keep mutating and getting stronger in it."

I fear that one day... humanity will become extinct.

Li Dawei's eyes gradually hardened, his gaze sharpening.

"My life's work is to stop them; I will never let them advance even an inch!"

"For 11 whole years since I became the commander of the Southeast Military Region, the sea monster hasn't been able to advance even a single step along the Huangpu River!"

Li Dawei stared intently at Jiang Chen and said softly, "I just want our child to still have hope, to still have a future."

Li Dawei hoped that, firstly, humanity would develop a weapon more powerful than the laser cannon, so that all the monsters could be wiped out once again!

Secondly, we hope to see more martial artists like Hong and Thor, who are far stronger than ordinary martial artists and can easily kill king-level monsters.

"Don't worry, we humans have hope, we will definitely win!" Jiang Chen shouted with a serious expression and a strong voice.

Li Dawei nodded slightly, patted Jiang Chen's shoulder, his expression complex, and murmured, "I'm old now, but Jiang Chen... you still have unlimited potential."

"hope……"

……

Commander Li Dawei watched Jiang Chen leave in his crimson fighter jet, then stood quietly in the same spot, silently gazing in the direction Jiang Chen had gone.

For a very, very long time...
