God and Devil World Chapter 1132: Wiping out the Giants!

After hearing Jody’s explanation, Yue Zhong finally understood why there was such a huge difference in technology. He also understood why the Emperor would do such a thing.

Earth, before the apocalypse, was also an advanced world, with lack of cultivators and martial artists. It was not because the people of today were less smart, but because the effectiveness of such skills was not as comparable as a technologically-advanced world.

A martial artist could train for an entire 20 years but would be easily taken out by some small-thug with a bare proficiency in firearms wielding a gun. Under such circumstances, few would actually take the time to train. Furthermore, in the past, a person could easily win a small-scale war with their own prowess, that was why there were more cultivators in the past.

It was precisely because of this that the Emperor of the Sirius Empire would ban technology for all the cities and towns. However, the usage of such equipment was important in a war, that was why the central army was equipped with such highly advanced stuff, hence, creating an imbalanced image.

Yue Zhong was an outsider and was in no position to comment on the strategy. He smiled and did not continue harping on the subject.

The 12 battleships flew over a dense and thick forest, which was formed of numerous huge trees that were easily over hundreds of meters tall. There were even some that extended beyond 200m and 300m.

The forest covered a huge portion of the terrain, and one could hear the roars of wild beasts from within.

“It’s right here, Yue Zhong. Let me clear the rubbish for you first.”

With a chuckle, Jody gave an order through his watch, “Execute the plan immediately!”

“Begin the plan immediately!”

“…”

Under Jody’s orders, the huge cannon on his battleship, that had a 30m-diameter, lit up with its countless runes glowing, as a huge form of energy gathered in the cannon.

After 10 seconds, the mouth of the cannon lit upm and a huge, light pillar of over 3km blasted downwards at the huge forest.

Under that assault, everything within the diameter of the light beam was instantly vaporized, revealing a huge, ugly, hole within the dense forest.

Yue Zhong could clearly see that at the edges of the hole, there were many human corpses.

After firing that cannon, over a hundred elites of the Sirius Empire’s forces flew out of the battleship, equipped with their mech armor and particle cannons.

The moment they appeared, they began firing their weapons into the forest, hitting the many giants who were currently gathered.

Under those probing shots, the giants were all enraged and charged out towards them.

There was a vicious glint in the eyes of one 60m-tall Wind Giant, as he opened his huge mouth to spit out a powerful wind blade, cleaving towards the soldiers.

With a single swish, the huge wind blade went through one of the Sirius Empire’s elite soldiers, slicing him cleanly in two, as blood and organs splattered out.

Another 70m-tall Flame Giant swung out powerfully, sending balls of flames towards the soldiers.

Although the soldiers continued to dodge and evade, one of them was still struck, unfortunately, and he caught on fire while screaming out in agony.

Those giants were not only capable in close-combat, but many of them had abilities of range. It was truly terrifying. Within a matter of seconds, a dozen elite soldiers had already fallen. Had they been any closer, they would have been wiped out.

Jody swiftly gave the order, “Retreat!”

At that, the Sirius Empire elites began to retreat into the forest while firing a few more shots.

They were intelligent and used the terrain to their advantage while dodging the ranged attacks.

With the trees acting as cover, the ranged attacks of the giants lost most of their strength.

As for the giants, they were currently chasing at full speed and in a mad fury.

Almost all the giants with ranged capabilities were throwing everything they had at the battleship in the sky.

The 12 battleships in the skies had opened up their energy shields under Jody’s orders earlier and were rising slowly to evade the attacks.

Inside the ship, Jody observed the giants below and had an incredulous look, “Strange! The giants seem weaker for some reason? There doesn’t seem to be any Type 8 giant holding the fort. What’s going on? Usually, there should be one. How come there isn’t one right now?”

Jody’s army had clashed with the giants many times, and he knew their circumstances well. Now, seeing that no Type 8 giant was chasing after them, he could not help but feel bewildered.

If there were any Type 8 powerhouses giant in their midst, they would have stepped into the air to assault their battleship already.

Lina’s gaze had a strange glint as she said, “What’s strange about it? Since there are no Type 8 giants here, they must have all been killed in the earlier raid on Adenia Town.” She then asked curiously, “Yue Zhong, how many Type 8 giants did you kill exactly?”

Yue Zhong replied mildly, “13.”

When Jody heard that, he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air, and exclaim somewhat “13?!! Are you sure?! You really killed 13 of them?!”

Even Lina had a shocked look.

Human Type 8 powerhouses were known to be weaker than any other race of the same realm. This was common knowledge. Of course, there were human Type 8 powerhouses that could kill other races easily, but these were the heaven-defying talents, who were rare, or they possessed some form of a treasure.

Even among these geniuses, few could take on 10 on their own, killing so many Type 8 giants by themselves.

Such an expert would have so much potential, a peak expert of the human race, and could possibly become a half-God existence.

Jody and Lina had thought that they already evaluated him strongly, but now, they could sense that they had truly underestimated him.

“That’s right!” Yue Zhong laughed, and stood up, before walking out, “Those giants have already left the forest. I’ll go clear them.”

After Yue Zhong left, Lina suddenly asked Jody, “Jody, do you think he was telling the truth?”

Jody signed, his gaze complicated, “Perhaps. He could take on the entire group of giants on his own, this is proof enough of his strength. He doesn’t need to lie to us.”

There was a complicated look in her eyes, as she bit her lips, speaking with some jealousy, “Then, isn’t his strength already on par with the Holy Children of the Temples?”

Jody and Lina were the esteemed Prince and Princess of the Holy Sirius Empire and had cultivated to reach the Type 6 realm. However, within the Holy Heavens, they were just ordinary people. There were so many people who had a strength that far surpassed them.

The Holy Sons and Daughters of the 5 Great Temples were all at the Type 8 realm, heaven-defying geniuses, and the weakest was still so much stronger than Jody or Lina and could view them with contempt.

The Emperor of the Holy Sirius Empire could not compare to any of the Holy Sons or Daughters. Due to his ordinary talent, he was doomed to stay at the initial Type 8 realm for his entire life, with no hope of entering the Type 9 realm. Therefore, he was not as valuable.

Jody had a wise look as he spoke, “Perhaps. Lina, the stronger Yue Zhong is, the more beneficial it is for us. We have to get in his good books and attract him over to our Northern Temple! If he could even become a Holy Son of the Temple, then we would be rewarded more!!”

Lina nodded, she was just slightly jealous of Yue Zhong’s talents, but she was smart, and she knew the crux of the matter, as she turned to look at Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong soared out of the battleship and saw the countless giants running towards him. There were even over 40 Type 7 giants manipulating the atmospheric energy to soar towards him.

However, they were not of the air, thus their speed wasn’t fast.

“Go to hell!”

Yue Zhong stared at them with a cold look, and with a wave of his hands, a bright blood light shot towards the skies, turning into a blood cloud, that started pouring on them.

Within seconds, thousands of them were instantly sucked dry and turned into emaciated corpses.

Jody saw the scene and felt a chill down his back, “What terrifying means!! This Yue Zhong is truly terrifying!!”
