220 Snap
“Let’s go, let’s go…”
Nick was already in a daze, but he still repeated it weakly.
Therlandron smiled hoarsely. This powerful and proud elf commander also cried and muttered, “Kang De, I admit the failure of the Dusk Legion and humiliating myself by asking for help from the back. It’s all for you and today. You’re finished. It’s useless even if you escape now…”
The mercenary group that had broken through the camp of the Dusk Legion also received this terrifying news. A portion of them was already indecisive, and another portion was determined to kill their way into the city and transmit this news.
!!
The gorilla said, “Kang De, we’re leaving. I’ll bring you away. No one can hurt you.”
The Autobot also said calmly, “Father, I have to say that you’ve done your best…”
Theron’s laughter lasted for a long time.
Kang De looked at Nick. The other party looked back at him, his eyes sad, pleading, and desperate.
He had already worked hard to this extent.
The people in this city.
He gave up everything and fought with everything he had. Be it those who knew or those who did not, he fought and sacrificed the suffering people, ignorant people, brave people, and people worthy of respect in this land.
This was the outcome waiting for them.
All his courage, cowardice, despicableness, and nobility.
It was all meaningless.
This city was destined to be destroyed.
Sooner or later.
Even if they blocked the attack of the Dusk Legion, even if they defeated the elves outside the city, the subsequent main elf army would still run over this city like they were killing ants.
No matter what, the outcome was the same.
There was no hope, only death. These were the people who lived here.
Was it really meaningful for them to fight so hard and sacrifice themselves?
Nick had sacrificed so much to toughen his heart and give up everything in exchange for the Twilight Legion stopping for a few days, but so many lives had been lost…
He stared blankly at Nick, who was already on his deathbed.
Nick blinked and looked at Kang De. He was usually an elegant noble and should have lived his life step by step, but he had chosen to burn his life in these few days.
The mayor read Kang De’s meaning and his eyes.
“I don’t regret it…”
He muttered.
However, then, blood tears flowed from his eyes.
Nick’s sorrowful and decisive expression seeped into his bones.
He sighed sadly and desperately. He was not lamenting his fate, but for others and this city filled with lives that could not protect themselves.
“But I’m still so sad…”
Kang De understood his short words and painful sigh.
He suddenly felt a bone-deep sorrow. The confusion of the brave, the tears of the sacrificed, and the weakness of the unyielding. This was originally the saddest thing in the world.
He had only never felt… the weight of fate like now.
Those bravery and sacrifices that were destined to be meaningless, those despicable and traitorous things that were useless in the end.
This was the fate of all living beings in Valentine City.
It should not have been like this.
It shouldn’t be.
Those faces appeared in his mind. The people who had died in this city, everyone. They had been born in chaotic times and their lives were like grass. Sacrifices were fruitless. Courage was meaningless.
A tear slowly fell.
Strong and huge emotions appeared in his heart.
At this moment, he finally realized the heavy fate that the people of this world carried. He finally understood the ultimate suffering of the people here. It was not the underdevelopment of technology or the backwardness of civilization, but this cruel and heavy fate had descended on every innocent and ordinary person.
The urge to change all of this came from the purest hope and determination he felt and had witnessed hardship and sacrifice. It was called…
—Pity.
Tears fell to the ground.
In the next moment, a strong light suddenly bloomed from Kang De’s chest. The extreme heat pressed against his surging heart. The crimson scroll that came from the King of the Gods emitted an unprecedentedly intense light that shone with the name of a god of righteousness and pity. Grand divine power sank into Kang De’s soul.
In an instant, the world reversed and disappeared. He appeared in an indescribable and incomprehensible world dimension and looked at everything around him in confusion.
Under his feet, a long river flowed from the past to the future, giving space order and defining the state of the world.
He saw many eyes appear in the endless void. Whispers sounded from the depths of his soul. Those voices asked his wish. As long as he exchanged the crimson scroll in his arms, he could obtain everything.
“No.” He muttered, “I only want to save them.”
Those lives, those he knew, those he did not know, the living, and the dead, as well as their same fate.
“I did not have to come here. I could have had everything…” Kang De said softly, “Now, I only want to save these lives that don’t know joy in life and are sad in death. In fact, they could have been happy.”
Those eyes left in disappointment. Then, there was only one sound in the world. Kang De felt the gaze of the last pair of eyes, calm and warm, even happy.
“As you wish.”
The long river under his feet shook with a bang, causing waves. The surrounding world became strange. That was a dimension that humans could not understand in their lives.
In the unpredictable endless void, Kang De saw what he wanted to see before.
It was a…
Door.
“It’s useless. Even if you escape now, you’ll be chased and caught up. All resistance is meaningless. There’s only one cause of death, and that’s to become enemies with Twilight!”
Therlandron’s laughter echoed in his ears. In front of him was the nervous but expectant gorilla.
Kang De opened his eyes and turned to look at Therlandron.
“Not necessarily.”
When Therlandron heard this, he met his eyes and wanted to mock him, but he saw that those eyes were no longer the color of the Cathayan’s eyes, but a golden ring like the gorilla.
His heart skipped a beat. “You…”
Kang De said sternly, “Come here!”
The Autobot transformed and drove over. Kang De pressed down on his hood. In the next moment, the door opened and his iron son disappeared from this world. Kang De picked up a spear and said to the gorilla, “How high can you throw this?”
“Very, very tall,” the gorilla said. “What for?”
Kang De’s mind was like a wheel as he looked at the sky. “I want to go over there!”
“That’s easy! It’s more convenient!”
The gorilla roared at the sky. In an instant, a cry sounded from the horizon. The black dot approached from afar and continuously enlarged. It was a huge eagle that landed on the platform with a violent wind. Someone jumped down from the eagle, “Lord!”
“Cassandra, Eagle Tamer, I give you an order!”
In front of others, the gorilla was not gentle at all. There was only irrefutable dignity, “Take Kang De into the air and listen to his orders, no matter where he wants you to bring him!”
The warrior kneeling on one knee had healthy wheat-colored skin and a tall and beautiful figure. It was a strong but beautiful body. When she heard this, she looked up and first glanced at Kang De, her eyes revealing hostility. Then, she rejected flatly, “I swear to follow you until I stop breathing. The elf army is about to arrive. I can’t leave you behind and escape with him. Definitely not!”
“This is not escaping. This is an order!”
The lackey’s disobedience embarrassed the gorilla in front of Kang De. She pretended to fight, but Kang De stopped her and said to Cassandra, “This is not an order. This is war.”
A moment later, the giant eagle flapped its wings and soared into the air.
Kang De said to the gorilla, “Guard this place and wait for me to return.”
The gorilla girl made an “OK” gesture. It was even cuter than when she was in her gorilla form.
The giant eagle flapped its wings, swept past this suffering city, and rose into the air.
“That’s Cassandra’s eagle! There’s another person on it! It’s not the commander!”
The troops outside the city had already received the news that the main army of the elves was attacking on a large scale. The news of the upcoming battle spread as if it had wings. Fear spread like never before. With the power of the commander, they dared to fight the tired Dusk Legion, but now…
“We followed her to save her lover, but now we have to let him run first!”
Someone outside the city had already cursed, “Coward! Coward!”
As he cursed, he raised the huge bow. However, in the next moment, a sword was placed in front of him, “What do you want? That’s my sister. If you dare to hurt her, I’ll kill you!”
“Your sister ran away with this man! Leave us behind!” That person glared at the young man with the sword, “We’ll die if we stay here! If we escape early, we still have a chance of survival!”
He raised his arm and shouted. Many people were already restless. Cassandra’s brother still wanted to dissuade, “It might not be to escape! The commander must have made arrangements…”
“He’s not escaping? Then why did he go? To defeat that main elf army?”
This mockery and disdain made the young man unable to refute.
In the distant sky, the huge eagle rushed into the clouds. Kang De sat behind Cassandra and said indifferently, “You have a lot of objections to me. In order to prevent you from doing anything stupid, I’ll make it clear in advance. Even if you throw me down now, I won’t die from the fall. You’ll die very miserably. You don’t even need me to do it.”
Cassandra said coldly, “Don’t worry, I’ll listen to the commander’s orders. No matter how ridiculous it is, I’ll bring you to a safe place and return…”
“This is not your mission,” Kang De said. “Maintain this direction and continue to rise until you reach the limit. The higher the better.”
Cassandra gritted her teeth and ordered the giant eagle to continue rising into the air as she said, “This direction is the direction where the main elf army attacked. You…”
“Cut the crap.”
The giant eagle continuously rose into the air and rushed into the thin clouds. The sunlight became hotter and hotter, but the temperature also became lower and lower. The ground became smaller and smaller until Valentine City became an imperceptible small matchbox.
Until the ground was like a realistic and colorful map.
The giant eagle cried out. The surrounding temperature had already begun to chill to the bone. Cassandra shivered and said, “We’re almost at the limit. If it’s any higher, we won’t be able to take it.”
“It’s about time.”
Kang De let go of the other party’s waist and stood up. “Your next order is to catch me when I need help.”
Cassandra said, “Wait! What exactly do you want?”
“You’ll understand.”
Kang De pulled out a battle axe, reached out, wiped the surface of it, and threw it down.
Then, he jumped down from the eagle.
Cassandra cried out in surprise, but in the next moment, the calm Kang De instantly disappeared.
He transmigrated.
Kang De jumped out of his house in the small district, climbed to the top floor, and jumped down from the other side. He slashed the wall with his battle axe to slow down. Below, the huge Autobot had already opened his hands.
“Father! Where are we going?”
“The main road.”
On this bustling main road, there were all kinds of hundreds of cars lined up. Kang De had already explained the plan to his iron son. The divine power of the Dragon of Time and Space filled his body and gave him the power to change the world. From now on, it would begin here.
He stood in the middle of the intersection and closed his hands. A huge divine power was connected to this world as if the divine power of time had once fused into it.
“I need to enchant fire control and iron walls to give them the ability to maintain their integrity under high temperatures…”
At this moment, Kang De and the Dragon of Time and Space’s gazes were the same. The will of the King of the Gods swept past, and endless white fog surged. Two torrents surged out of the ancient chaotic white fog. They were two elemental torrents that revealed their specific forms.
“Very good.”
Kang De separated his hands.
It was a door.
The door that connected the two worlds opened steadily.
“Let’s begin!”
The Autobot agreed with a bang. The powerful mechanism roared and operated. He rushed towards Kang De from afar. He grabbed the car by the roadside with both hands and continuously threw it at the open door behind him!
The two-element torrents formed a vortex behind Kang De and in front of the door. They controlled fire and iron walls. As the golden light in Kang De’s eyes reached, they constructed these two extremely primitive enchantments through the car in the vortex. Then, they passed through this door and arrived in the sky of the other world!
The Autobot’s power system operated at full speed and crazily threw the cars on the street like a discus. Business cars, household cars, SUVs, transport vehicles, taxis… It even shattered the road step by step, blast by blast. Large pieces of asphalt, heavy roadblock rocks, and even long street lamps were thrown over!
“Father!”
The Autobot shouted, “I have to remind you that perhaps you haven’t risen high enough in the other world!”
“I know!”
Kang De said calmly, “So…”
He looked up at the distant sky here and extended his mind infinitely to build an anchor point. Then, he jumped back and his body disappeared, returning to the sky of the other world.
The anchor was fixed on the axe, so it appeared under the battle axe.
Cars continuously whistled down from above.
“We just have to repeat the process.”
He opened his hands and the spatial divine power whistled out. The spatial door opened again!
The countless cars that fell with a bang landed back in the white fog world. They landed extremely far away, where they had just been anchored.
They fell like meteors.
When the last car landed, Kang De shouted, “Cassandra!”
The giant eagle whistled down and caught him. Cassandra was still in shock. “What are those?”
“Power.”
Kang De handed the axe to her. “Continue to rise into the air. Count to a hundred in your mind and throw the axe away!”
Before Cassandra could ask, Kang De disappeared on the spot again. He appeared on the street of the white fog world and looked up at the launch weapon that whistled down.
“Too slow!”
The divine power of time spread through the void. The golden hourglass enveloped the world. The meteors falling from the sky accelerated and fell. Kang De looked up and waited. ” Calculate for me.”
“Yes! The speed has been calculated. It needs to be adjusted…”
The flow of time changed. The spatial door opened, and the speed parameters were adjusted by the flow of time until they passed through the door again and arrived in the other world.
Then, he repeated this process.
Acceleration, acceleration, acceleration, acceleration.
“Father, this world… is changing.”
As the spatial doors opened, as the flow of time changed…
Kang De said calmly, “Continue.”
He knew what he was doing. He knew what was coming.
On Earth, Wang Xiaoman, who was leaning in front of Kang De’s house, stood in silence. She missed Kang De, who was not in this world at this moment, but she must not know what had happened.
There was an uninhabited world that was almost identical to Earth. It was enveloped by white fog and was filled with mystery. The worlds on both sides should maintain the same time flow, but there was a three-hour difference. What the girl did not know was that at this moment, in that white fog world, the flow of time was accelerating bit by bit.
In other words, the time anchor between the white fog world and Earth was gradually approaching and synchronizing.
He repeated this process.
The falling speed continuously accelerated. It even needed Kang De to activate Time Acceleration to open the door to prevent these falling things with increasingly terrifying speed from directly smashing into the ground of the white fog world.
“Father… the enchantment is about to reach its upper limit and can collapse at any time.”
“Oh.”
The father and son knew what this meant.
Kang De was silent for a moment. Then, a spatial door opened in front of him. He was going back.
“Father.”
“What?”
“You’re about to do that… What’s your mood now?”
Kang De was silent, then stepped through the door, leaving his calm voice here.
“I feel sorry for the victims of the war who are about to die.”
The second half of the sentence appeared in the other world.
“I also feel… sad for the additional victims of this war.”
Cassandra caught him and asked, “What?”
Kang De said, “Go down and find the elves’ vanguard cavalry.”
This time, Cassandra obediently gave the order. She had a guess about what was about to happen. She was in disbelief, but she was also looking forward to it. The only thing she could be sure of was that the man behind her… was definitely not ordinary.
She could not help but ask, “What did you want to say just now?”
Kang De laughed.
His thoughts turned to the day he first defended the city. He and Hong San had brought a group of noobs from the Heaven and Earth Association to the city wall to be cannon fodder. The veteran captain in charge of them roared many interesting words.
Now, things had changed. The veteran captain had long died in battle. However, no matter how time passed and the world changed, he was right.
As the giant eagle continuously lowered its height, the mountains and rivers gradually became real. Under the sunlight, he could see a large number of cavalry troops whistling over. Their armor was like clouds that could almost destroy everything.
It was already very close to Valentine City.
He said softly, “I mean, praise gravity.”
Cassandra said in confusion, “What? So what are you trying to say and what are you going to do?”
“I…”
Kang De stood on the giant eagle and lowered his head for a moment. Then, he looked up and smiled.
“I want to snap my fingers.”
He raised his hand.
Snap.
The door opened.
The falling objects that had already expanded to the terrifying limit whistled down. The intense friction and resistance exceeded the limit of the enchantment. The shell shattered, and an extremely hot temperature instantly swept through everything. The roadblock rocks and asphalt melted, and the cars turned into large fireballs. Numerous tons of kinetic energy ammunition dragged a terrifying tail flame across the sky and rumbled down at an extremely close height to the ground.
Kang De said, “Take off.”
The person in Valentine’s direction shouted, “What’s that?!”
More than ten stars in the sky flashed in the sky, stabbing at the ground like the swords of the gods.
They landed in the middle of the huge cavalry team, surrounded by everything.
Then, it was as if the sun had lit up in the sky, or perhaps it was only an illusion. The kinetic weapons roared and fell to the ground, exploding into the ground. An unprecedented huge impact transmitted and dissipated, and the solid ground turned into an ocean. The soil rolled like a wave, and large pieces of land collapsed and soared into the air. The cars instantly disintegrated and scattered, and countless burning small metal parts shot around like a storm!
The flying dust, the powerful wind, and the terrifying air wave disturbance swept in Valentine’s direction, like the anger of a god descending to the ground. Then, a terrifying sound wave rumbled.
Those who wanted to run and continue fighting looked at that scene in a daze.
“What… what’s going on…”
“I… I think I saw Cassandra’s eagle…”
“She has that ability?”
“No… definitely not…”
“Ah… then…”
In the violent wind, the giant eagle broke through the clouds. Cassandra was already so frightened that she could not say a word. Kang De still looked ahead and his tone was calm without a trace of trembling.
“Continue forward. The elf legion is not only a cavalry unit. Their main force is still behind.”
In Valentine City, even the elves had forgotten to fight. Therlandron, who was seriously injured, struggled and looked in that direction, his tone crazy. Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, as soon as Kang De left, he had already vaguely realized what had happened, but he could not believe it.
“What’s going on? What’s that? What’s that???”
He crazily chatted with the people around him, the gorilla, and its subordinates who followed.
No one paid attention to him, and the people of the mercenary group were silent.
A moment later, the gorilla said indifferently, “Look for yourself.”
Therlandron widened his eyes and looked over. The dust raised by the star of the sky had already dissipated a little. Through the clouds and fog, in the distance, with the peerless eyesight of the elves, he saw more than a hundred swords of light break through the sky and fall to the ground further and further away.
The commander of the Dusk Legion widened his eyes, and even blood seeped out. He looked and prayed that this was only an illusion, but in the end, he let out a wail that did not sound like an intelligent creature.
“No!!!!!”
