Chapter 1 The Monster Kingdom's History

The history of the Monster Kingdom is very long, even longer than the existence of the Four Pillar Gods.

As you can tell from the name, at the beginning of the kingdom's establishment, it was still a centralized, hereditary country.

But as time went on, the Monster Kingdom's society experienced a series of developments, conflicts, and changes, eventually becoming a place that promoted democracy.

The history during this period, if taken out separately, could be written into a... oh no... a series of novels.

Therefore, I won't go into too much detail here...

We only need to know that the current life of the Monster Kingdom's residents is hard-won, and it was exchanged for by countless martyrs who shed their blood and gave their lives.

Because of this, when their common homeland was invaded, and when their peaceful lives were threatened, the monsters' determination to resist was very firm and thorough.

Furthermore... neither Dou Mo nor the Redundant Soldier Legion accepted any form of surrender, so even if some monsters wanted to betray, they had "no way to defect."

Here, we must say that if the Redundant Soldier Legion had played a few tricks, they might have already conquered the Monster Kingdom before Feng Bujue and the others arrived...

If it had been Brother Jue leading the troops to attack the Monster Kingdom, he would have 100% followed the principle of "leaving an opening when besieging an army," cooperating with various tricks, to win this victory with the least cost and the greatest certainty.

But Dou Mo is not Feng Bujue...

Dou Mo never uses any "tricks" because he disdains and doesn't need to do such a thing.

In his era, Thriller Paradise was still a very simple and pure world—at that time, "God" represented light and order, and "Demon" ruled chaos and darkness; there weren't so many forces, nor so many gray areas, let alone so-called "free will."

In that clear-cut era, light and darkness stood on equal footing, each possessing half the power of the entire universe.

Until the day the "Doomsday" came, Du Shen, with very little divine power left, fell in the cataclysm, but Dou Mo, who had been sealed into the "Door of Emptiness" by Du Shen, survived.

After countless years, in this new era, because the "Ancient Guarding Demon" Dian Que Wang left the seal, the Door of Emptiness reopened, and Dou Mo reappeared.

Possessing the equivalent of "half the power of the main universe of the last era," his advantage in strength is self-evident in the face of these "weak" new gods and even the sub-gods who are inferior to those new gods.

Although the total amount of "universe energy" in the new era is several times higher than in the previous era, there is still... no single NPC whose power can compete with him.

And this difference in "quality" is also difficult to fill with "quantity"... For example, if the strength of the "Chief of All Demons" is one-tenth of Dou Mo's strength, then would copying eleven Chiefs of All Demons be able to defeat Dou Mo? The answer is obviously no...

Similarly, even though there are many strong individuals in the Monster Kingdom, and there are existences whose strength is close to or even exceeds the Four Pillar Gods, their chances of winning against Dou Mo are still very slim.

This... all the monsters, including King Hankey, are well aware of.

But they have no choice because this is a war in which even surrender is impossible. The battle will only end when every last soldier is dead.

In this case, "despair"... doesn't seem so terrible after all.

Since death is destined to come and is already close at hand, why not live like a hero in the last moments of life?

In this state of mind, those civilians who were originally taking refuge in the government office area also spontaneously organized themselves... and joined the newly formed defense force, holding the idea of "a kill is not a loss, two kills is a profit," planning to fight the Redundant Soldiers.

And the Redundant Soldier Legion would naturally not sit idly by.

Just now, when Dou Mo tore open the void fault and invaded this space, the Sweepers uniformly generated a strategy of "temporarily stopping the attack and waiting for Dou Mo to arrive" based on this change, so they all stopped for a while.

But now, the number of the Monster Legion has surged and they have begun to take the initiative to attack, so the Redundant Soldiers certainly won't wait any longer. Anyway, they have plenty of troops, and the supply line is endless; both "time" and "victory" can be filled and exchanged with this almost infinite force.

Thus... the battle resumed, and the two armies fought fiercely around the circular Royal City (the terrain of the government office area is similar to a castle, but dozens of times larger than a regular castle; in terms of area, it is equivalent to a castle-shaped city). Bloody battles were taking place in the sky, on the ground, and even in the water and underground.

At this time, it should already be sunrise, but the sky is still dark and chaotic; the earth has been dyed a bright red.

It is not the morning sun that has dyed the earth red, but the blood of the Monster Kingdom's warriors and the Redundant Soldiers mixed with biological genes.

It is not the redundant soldiers all over the sky that are blocking the sunlight, but the demonic energy emanating from a certain Demon King in the distance...

People's eyes are full of broken limbs and bones; people's ears are filled with roars and wails.

Substantial killing intent and terror permeated the air, driving everyone present into madness; this is war, a tragedy accompanied by fear and death, pain and absurdity... yet one that makes it impossible to look away.

"Mr. Hankey... the zombies are almost unable to hold on."

"Mr. Hankey! The werewolves have gradually lost their minds and started hurting each other!"

"Mr. Hankey... the goblin commando team has suffered heavy losses!"

"Mr. Hankey! Please give the order!"

"Mr. Hankey!"

Warriors covered in blood who returned to report the battle situation brought one bad news after another to the king.

Indeed, in the previous few hours, the kingdom's army had been at an advantage; logically speaking, they should be even more advantageous now that they all have a sense of determination.

But... putting aside the subjective factors of will, if we consider the objective situation, we will find that... the development of this battle situation is actually reasonable.

After all... their physical strength, magic power, ammunition, and lives... are all continuously being consumed.

And on the Redundant Soldier side, although there are countless casualties, the intensity of the attack has not weakened in essence; their offensive is the same as when the war first started, or even stronger.

With this ebb and flow, the result is obvious.

"Damn bastards! Son of a bitch!" Mr. Hankey, who came from South Park, didn't hide his swear words when he was pushed into a corner. He shouted and yelled, "I'm going to fight you to the death today!"

While cursing, he was about to fly into the sky to unleash another Da Shi Wu Liang (Great Shit Immeasurable) (he had already used it once before, so he was resting on the city wall at the moment, while also commanding the army).

Just at this moment, suddenly!

A strong light suddenly pierced through the dark sky, tearing through the Redundant Soldier Legion's battle line.
