Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 447: Chapter 57: Nightmare of the Last Life (Extra updates on Bai’s Birthday!)”_2

As he laughed, tears uncontrollably spilled from Qin Min’s eyes. He recalled the grandiose proclamations made when the Ultimate Force Team was first established, their seeming invincibility when they stormed the Yanjing Assembly Site, and the teammates who had died one after another during the past twenty years of the apocalypse...

Now, the Ultimate Force Team—once the symbol of the most powerful force on Earth, the team that every powerful expert once desperately sought to join—had finally reached its end...

Finally, it had come to this day, a day when even the protagonist, chosen by the will of the Earth and the Dominator, could no longer withstand the pressure!

...

”Actually, I sort of miss Ziping. Even though that old woman always scolded me, I must admit, it felt pretty nice to have someone who cared...”

Tang Haofei, with a single punch, blasted the Level 10 Ancient Demon in front of him to pieces. The tremendous force exploded from the Ancient Demon’s body, obliterating it!

Then, two more Ancient Demons rushed toward Tang Haofei...

”I kind of miss Duo Duo too. That little girl always pestered me for lollipops. I don’t know how a ten-year-old girl knew so much!”

The two Level 10 Ancient Demons had their heads smashed in, and Tang Haofei, in the process, sustained a wound...

After all, those were Level 10 Ancient Demons... battling a Level 8 Tang Haofei!

”And Bighead, who always wanted to drink with me but could never hold his liquor...”

Tang Haofei continued to ramble, but his hands didn’t slow. In a short time, his devastating punches had killed nearly ten Ancient Demons!

Meanwhile, Qin Min was nowhere to be seen!

A Level 8 fighting Level 10s...

Not everyone possessed Tang Haofei’s strength!

...

When a wound-covered Tang Haofei reached the foot of Mount Fuji, his journey finally came to an end.

Being the protagonist didn’t mean invincibility, nor did it mean immortality!

When an exhausted Tang Haofei was captured by a Level 10 Ancient Demon spawn, he closed his eyes.

Dimly, Tang Haofei heard the demons around him murmuring.

”This is a divine beast, and it still contains the Origin Energy of the Earth. Just throw it directly into the Earth’s nucleus to melt. It could provide us with a bit more Origin Energy...”

Then, he was crudely transported like a pig...

When Tang Haofei opened his eyes again, it was a beautiful sunny day outside, a month before the apocalypse began...

...

Looking at Tang Haofei, whose eyes shimmered with unshed tears, Wen Yu sat in his chair, lost for words.

After a moment, Wen Yu asked in a husky voice,

”So, in the previous life, we only lasted a little over twenty years?”

Tang Haofei took a deep breath and slowly shook his head. ”It was over twenty years! By my estimate, after the origin of the Earth’s nucleus was completely drained, humans could have persevered for a while longer... But they would inevitably die. The atmosphere was sealed, the Earth slowly cooled, the land became barren, lacking the necessary conditions for life to reproduce. Escape was impossible. There was naturally only one outcome.”

Wen Yu fell silent once again. After a long pause, he asked, ”Why did we only last for such a short time?”

Tang Haofei slowly returned to his seat, snapped his fingers for the young secretary, and ordered a glass of juice. Only then did he begin to speak slowly.

”The Demon Tribe... they were far, far too strong, and their numbers were too great! They had too many powerful experts! Of course, these weren’t the most critical factors in our defeat...”

”The most critical thing was that Origin Extraction Device!”

”In the beginning, we didn’t realize the importance of that device. We were still guarding our own little patches of land, squabbling amongst ourselves—the Human Race internally, or humans against mutant beasts, vying for power and profit.”

”Then, a vast amount of the origin of the Earth’s nucleus was extracted...”

”Do you know what the greatest effect of the origin of the Earth’s nucleus was for us?”

Wen Yu shook his head.

”The Level Lock!”

”The Dominator and the will of the Earth jointly created the Level Lock. However, most of the energy for the Level Lock came from the origin of the Earth’s nucleus!”

”When the Origin Extraction Device appeared over Japan, no humans or mutant beasts paid it any mind! And the will of the Earth didn’t know what it was either, so it didn’t issue a warning!”
