Chapter 817: The Tower of Babel!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the end, about one-third of the ancient cities were lucky enough to escape the beast horde’s siege.

The other two-thirds of the buildings and the Ancients were all covered by the creeping black tide.

The sky above the cities was immediately filled with the sounds of sucking, chewing, and snoring…

Not to mention, the sounds of swallowing.

All the monsters were swallowing crazily, swallowing food that was three to five times larger than their own bodies and crystals that they could not digest until their internal organs exploded.

The glorious city was dimming and withering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not long after, it melted and collapsed like a sand sculpture that had been soaked by the waves, turning into debris on the ground.

Even the broken walls that looked like gravestones were broken into dust and sand after a moment. They swirled and spoke sadly of the Ancients’ final glory.

The beast horde had completely occupied the entire land.

However, every monster, together with the mother, the starting point and the end point of all the nerve connections, still felt hungry and insatiable.

By devouring the spirit energy absorbed by the entire ancient city, the monsters grew larger and fiercer.

Their appetites and their desire to kill soared exponentially.

They longed to conquer, devour, and destroy more ancient cities.

However, as far as the eye could see, dozens of dense columns of smoke had already risen on the horizon thousands of kilometers away.

They were not smoke from gunpowder.

They were the raging flames of the surging beast horde.

All the ancient cities on the planet were besieged by the beast horde in an instant.

The brutal war that was happening in front of Meng Chao was happening in every corner of the ancient world at the same time.

The mother and its monsters had completely occupied the planet’s surface. The places where the spirit energy was the most abundant had devoured all the glorious cities built by the Ancients.

Therefore, the mother looked up at the sky, its eyes piercing through the stars.

The billions of monsters were like a uniform army, shooting their invincible edge toward the unattainable sky.

Above the sky was a network of interconnected synchronous orbits.

At the intersection of tubes that were hundreds of kilometers in diameter, there were sky cities and even star cities that were hundreds of times larger, more complicated, more glorious, and more abundant than the cities on the ground.

The mother learned this from the creator and dominator of the past.

After learning that there were countless ancient people who were high and mighty in the star city, they sneered contemptuously and paid attention to its rebellion.

Therefore, the star city was its ultimate goal.

The mother did not hesitate to issue a new order.

The nerve lightning that carried countless pheromones swept through every beast horde like a storm.

The monsters were immediately divided into two distinct groups.

The monsters in the first group started to kill each other without any change in expression.

They were the same species that fought side by side earlier and shared the crystal mines, as well as crystal buildings, together.

Now, however, they seemed to have an irreconcilable hatred. They used their blade limbs and tusks to pierce deep into each other’s bodies.

After killing each other, they had to swallow the corpses without leaving anything behind.

That was raising insanity, or to put it another way, the evolution war that had lasted for hundreds of millions of years was compressed to a short moment.

Through the incomparably fierce battles, the mother patiently searched for, nurtured, and screened the strongest genes.

Then, it used these “slaughter genes” to breed more and more powerful fierce “war beasts.”

In the end, the number of monsters in the first group was less than one percent of the original number.

However, the war beasts that had devoured the corpses of hundreds and thousands of their own kind and survived until now and were sucked back into the body of the mother after being modified twice or even thrice were a hundred times stronger than before.

The ancient Sandworm that had crawled out from the underground of the city center in the beginning and turned the ancient city upside down was far from enough.

It had just opened its bloody mouth and let out a fierce roar when it was grabbed by a huge eagle with golden wings that covered the sky.

The eagle’s sharp claws that were like steel and iron pierced deeply into the ancient Sandworm’s body. The tip of its claws was actually hollow. It injected a large amount of highly concentrated acid and poison into the body of the ancient Sandworm, after which the Sandworm’s skin immediately hardened into solid rocks and steel. Just like that, the ancient Sandworm’s flesh was firmly sealed inside.

Only when the ancient Sandworm stopped struggling did the ancient Golden Condor, which had a wingspan of at least ten kilometers, slowly shoot out a needle from its mouth and deeply pierce into the ancient Sandworm’s body, sucking its flesh and blood that had long since turned into mush.

The ancient Sandworm was sucked into an empty shell by it. It was thrown from thousands of meters high into the ground and smashed into pieces.

The ancient Golden Condor, on the other hand, evolved and mutated in midair. A pair of slightly smaller wings grew on both sides of its body and under its main wings. The four wings intersected like a slanted cross.

The ancient Golden Condor let out a long cry. Relying on its four wings, it spiraled into the sky like a rocket, piercing straight into the sky.

Behind it, there were countless vicious ancient beasts that had evolved wings. Some were similar to rocket propellers that stored a large amount of chemical fuel. Some were magnetic levitation and anti-gravity organs that used the planet’s magnetic field to resist the gravity, some were similar to airbags of armored airships and hot air balloons.

They flew into the sky in all sorts of ways and pounced toward the ancient civilization above the atmosphere.

The monsters in the first group chose to take the path of raising insanity, killing and devouring each other to evolve into the strongest vicious ancient beasts.

However, the monsters in the second group chose to take a more united path. In the literal sense, they were tightly united together.

Tens of millions of monsters rushed to the same coordinates.

The monsters in the front crouched down or crouched down after they reached the predetermined position.

Naturally, the monsters in the back swarmed over and stomped the monsters in front into meat paste.

The monsters in the second group did not survive for long and were stomped into meat paste by the third group.

However, the broken shells, bones, and flesh of the monsters would not disappear.

Instead, they would quickly solidify, solidify, and recast after coming into contact with the air.

More and more monsters pounced on them one after another. They were willing to be trampled to death by the monsters behind them. They were compressed into very tight and sturdy building materials.

At the beginning, the monster’s corpse only formed a small hill with a diameter of 100 meters.

Soon, the base of the “hill” continued to expand, from a diameter of 100 meters to a diameter of 500 meters, 1,000 meters, 3,000 meters, 5,000 meters, or even 10,000 meters.

The height of the “hill” also continued to increase. Three hundred meters, five hundred meters, a thousand meters..

The “hill” became a real high mountain.

A high mountain made purely from the monster’s corpse.

More monsters kept climbing onto the “mountain rock” and secreted a lot of mucus during the spasms, connecting their corpses even more closely.

A shiver came from the depths of Meng Chao’s soul.

He knew what these monsters were doing.

They were not making a mountain.

They were building a stairway to heaven.

The monsters in the second group actually wanted to build a heavenly body that could pierce the sky with their corpses, a “Tower of Babel” made of flesh and blood!

They wanted to use the corpses of billions of monsters to build a path to the sky!

How crazy and spectacular was this? The choice of the second group had brought the flesh and blood of carbon-based creatures to the extreme!

“Can they succeed?”

Although as the descendants of the Ancients, humanity’s stance should naturally be on the side of the ancients.

However, Meng Chao was still deeply shocked by the mother’s incredible tactics and broke into a sweat in his heart.

The stairway of flesh and blood was getting higher.

When they reached a height of more than 3,000 meters, the stairway of heaven made of the corpses of hundreds of millions of monsters broke in the middle because its diameter was too thin and it could not withstand the howling of the wild wind. It collapsed with a loud, earth-shaking sound.

Meng Chao seemed to hear the heartbreaking sighs of countless monsters.

However, they only sighed once before they pounced again on the remains of the flesh ladder in a moth-to-fire manner. They expanded the scope of the chassis, strengthened the depth and firmness of the foundation, and increased the number by ten times. They continued to increase the diameter of the flesh ladder.

This time, after the tireless and crazy construction, the flesh ladder finally extended to the upper atmosphere.

As for the first group of ancient behemoths, after countless times of falling, devouring, and evolving, they had finally evolved into a perfect genetic module that could fly out of the atmosphere and temporarily survive and fight in the vacuum of the universe!

The two groups had reached the same destination through different routes. At the same time, they saw the boundless and dazzling sea of stars.

Below the sea of stars, there was a network of synchronous orbits that covered the entire planet.

There was also the city of stars that was built at the intersection of the orbits and was as big as a crystal ball that was hundreds of kilometers in diameter.

“Slaughter! Devour! Destroy!

“Slaughter! Devour! Destroy!

“Slaughter! Devour! Destroy”

The final war drum sounded.

It did not matter whether it was a war behemoth that had evolved time and time again, or a war behemoth that had the ability to pierce through the heavens and the earth.

It was still the beast horde that was building the stairway of flesh and blood with billions of corpses. Then they climbed all the way to the upper atmosphere through the stairway.

They all let out the same hungry and crazy roars.

The wings of the ancient Golden Condor and the blade limbs of the insect-type monster that was charging at the front of the flesh ladder seemed to be able to touch the crystal city’s crystal shell in the starry sky. It was so close to them that it was crystal clear and beautiful.

Right at that moment…

All the cities in the starry sky were like searchlights that were suddenly lit, bursting out with incomparably intense light.

Ten thousand suns exploded above the heads of all the monsters at the same time.

An endless sea of light erupted.

Whether it was the war behemoths, the monstrous beast horde, or the fleshy stairway to heaven, they were all completely submerged in the sea of light.

The sturdiest carapace, the sharpest blade limbs, the most developed brain, the most powerful magnetic levitation organs, as well as the nerves that transmitted information the fastest, were all silently decomposed into the tiniest cells under the flood of the sea of light. The cells were then reduced to atomic particles in the next 0.. 0001 seconds.
