The Great Worm Lich

Chapter 417: The Furious Ape

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When the huge wooden stick with a length of several kilometers wrapped in wind attacked from the sky, the Eye Beast King, covered in injuries, was shredding the huge bugs suspended in midair, unmoving like puppets with an invisible force under the command of the Sovereign of Truth.

“This world actually has such a powerful creature...” Sensing as though the huge wood’s downward force was about to tear space, the shocked voice of the foreign world’s god resounded in the air.

Just as the ape swung the wooden stick that was about to hit the red eyeball and smash it into pieces, a huge invisible force unimaginable to ordinary people made it tilt a little, allowing the stick to brush across the eye from its side.

The giant wood landed and smashed the entire tattered Harvard Stadium into two halves. After that, the impact force spread rapidly on the ground, stretching out and tearing the Earth’s crust, within a thousand-meter radius, apart.

The collapsed rubble and soil flew all over the air along with tens of thousands of corpses. It blew even the ten fire trucks that were 30 to 40 tons heavy next to the stadium to the streets, hundreds of meters away.

After destroying everything, a loud sound that could penetrate human eardrums and shatter brains resonated, accompanied by a dust cloud that bloomed slowly from the ground like a mushroom in the sky above Boston.

Seeing the mushroom cloud blom in the sky, an old, gray-haired, caucasian man with an aquiline nose and a big mouth while dressed in a suit, sitting in the back seat of a helicopter used for aerial photography set out in a timely manner, muttered in a dumbstruck manner. “Red mushroom cloud! I actually saw a red mushroom cloud, and it’s over the Boston sky on top of that! Oh, God! Has your Judgment Day arrived or has the terrorists obtained a new nuclear weapon and has chosen Boston City as the target...”

“No matter which possibility it is, it’s not good news for us, Mr. Emerson. Shall we leave immediately?” The young assistant sitting beside the old man looked at the red cloud that hung in the air for a long time and turned pale as he asked.

“Leave? Dubon, are you crazy?” The old man with white hair snapped back to reality as an uncontrollable excitement filled his face. Fixing his collar, he shouted out loud, “What we need to do now is to contact Madoff and tell that idiot that Kennedy Emerson, whom he shoved out of headquarters, has gotten his hands on exclusive news that would shock the entire world! Tell him to stop the transmission of all programs, because the old Emerson has ‘returned’...”

Just like this, several minutes later, the US’ most authoritative ABC News broadcasted a piece of last-minute news that broke the hearts of all US citizens. A catastrophe that was far more terrible than the World Trade Center’s crash in New York City over a decade ago had just taken place in the Harvard Stadium in Boston, the city of wisdom and the Hub of the Universe that the entire country was proud of.

“... A huge ape has smashed the Harvard Stadium, which can hold up to 50,000 spectators, like smashing eggshell with an equally large stick and turned it into ruins, or to be more precise, into a crater. The long-time influential enemy of the two famous universities, Harvard and Yale, were having a football match at the time of the disaster... Please forgive my blunder! When I recall how most of the victims are mostly kids, I can’t help but choke on my tears. I’m sorry, dear respectful viewers, let us continue the news broadcast. It is reported that before the tragedy, Harvard Stadium has already shown signs of collapsing. According to nearby residents, the ardent and lively cheers in the game have also disappeared before that. What’s even more frightening is, after the stadium shattered, a red eye that was over ten meters tall when it was erected could be seen hovering in the air. The entire incident is clouded with fog. We can only wait for our government investigators to give us a reasonable answer. I will play a prompt shot of the video, but before that, I want to tell all of you that this is not a trailer of a horror monster movie that has not been released yet. What you’ll see is happening right now in Boston. Finally, once again, please allow me to pay tribute to the victims at Harvard Stadium. I’m Kennedy Emerson, reporting live from ABC News Express...”

In the back seat of a taxi, Tina, Trish, and Sheila seemed to not have heard the loud commotion of shouts and cars honking at each other on the streets outside the car as they watched the TV news with utmost concentration on the phone.

After the ABC News’ famous news anchor, Emerson, gave a sensational report, a deep pit that looked like a crater pit appeared on the shaky screen.

Judging from the surrounding buildings in the aerial picture, this pit, that appeared on the stadium and was gradually deepening from the side to the center, had a diameter of at least 800 to 900 meters. When the screen zoomed in, they could see a giant ape with golden long hair in the center of the pit being overwhelmed by an invisible force, struggling but unable to move.

Above the head of the giant ape, a big red eye was quietly hovering in the air. Thousands of big and small wounds could be seen in the eye, and once in a while, thick magma-like juice would ooze out from those wounds and drip onto the ground while releasing thick smoke, burning several gray holes on the ground.

“Perhaps you’re a strong presence in this weird, mechanical world, but compared to me, the Sovereign of Truth from the Faron World, you’re nothing but just a slightly stronger beast. However, since you can ruin this arena, I can consider you as someone who’s helping me ring the alarm of this ‘world’. For this reason, I’ll kindly bestow death to you, so you no longer have to suffer from torment...” A cold voice resonated from God-knows-where while transmitting into the ears of all US viewers, who were watching the news through the commercial radio of the aerial photographic helicopter.

The space around the huge red eye began to distort. Strips of translucent force began to appear in the air like octopus tentacles and continued to whip one after another onto the back of the giant ape that was being overpowered by the invisible force on the ground.

Its skin and fur split open with fresh blood flowing out. Each time it whipped the ape, it caused the ape’s body to twitch as a deep wound was added onto it, causing the tyrannical and raging fire in its eyes to deepen.

By the time the giant ape’s body was drenched in blood, its eyes had turned bright red. Stimulating the potential energy of its body, its head that was lowered on the ground suddenly rose with all its might. With its body trembling, it endured the pain of the force whips and slowly stood up.

“You have a gaze of someone who’s fighting to the death, but you have no skill to win this battle. No matter which ‘world’ you are in, the mind is always stronger than strength. The importance of wisdom and skill is far above reckless anger. Standing up will only make you die more painfully...” As though feeling dissatisfied over the fact that its dying prey still attempted to resist stubbornly, the cold voice in the sky resonated again.

However, before the voice could finish its sentence this time, the giant ape on the ground suddenly barred its mouthful of fangs while both of its hands that were bound with an invisible force broke away bloodily. Raising its head to the sky, it howled and beat its own chest.

Amidst the earth-shattering howl, the fur on the ape’s shoulder suddenly cracked open, revealing two large sarcomas that swayed and squirmed. Eyes, nose, mouth, and ears appeared as they turned into heads.

Then, four thick arms suddenly stretched out from its wide shoulders, transforming into a form of three heads and six arms.

After undergoing the mutated change, the ape stretched its body and looked down. Six huge claws dug deeply into the soil and abruptly lifted upward while raising thousands of square meters of the thick Earth’s crust in front up high like a blanket and slammed it onto the translucent strands of force that were prancing around the red huge eye.

When the strands of force wielded and crushed the blanket of stones and soil to pieces, the giant ape’s three heads bared their fangs all at once and leaped up high into the air in defiance of everything. After enduring seven to eight heavy strikes of the whips, it finally punched through the outer shell of the red eyeball.

Thick magma-like sap spewed out of its water tank-sized fist mark that the ape made and flowed onto its blood-stained fur, burning wound after wound on its body. Even so, these injuries received a carefree howl from the giant ape instead.

Not giving a damn to the number of injuries that were increasing on its body, both of its claws dug into the body of the Eye Beast King while the remaining four arms and three heads maniacally beat and smashed the giant red ape, taking it down to the ground together.

At this time, the cold voice in the sky resonated with a solemn tone, “Oh, savage animal of the foreign world, as an elite distinguished person of the Faron World Kingdom of God, I acknowledge your strength and would like to shake hands and show my respect to you...”

However, at this time, the giant ape seemed to have lost its sense of reason. It continued to trample and tear off the Eye Beast King’s soft outer shell brutally, trying to tear the enemy into pieces.

“Stop, you beast! Other than a useless broken corpse, you’ll accomplish nothing by killing the Eye of Raging Fire, but if you let it go and let me retrieve its soul, I, the Sovereign of Truth from the Faron World will swear that I’ll grant your one, wait, no, three wishes! Don’t underestimate the pledge of a god. Even though we’re from two different worlds, as an animal with wisdom, I think you should know what a god’s pledge means...” Feeling that the ape did not stop, the voice resonated from out of nowhere once again, and it spoke in a tone that changed from that of a solemn one to a voice of indignation with a slight tint of temptation.

However, before it could finish its words, the howling of the ferocious-looking ape interrupted it, that took place after a few seconds of silence after it had torn the Eye Beast King apart into seven to eight pieces of remains like a tattered rag.

After that, only the three-headed, six-armed, demon-like giant ape that was howling in rage with its head held high could be seen in the shaky aerial photographed image.

Upon seeing this soul-stirring video full of ups and downs that made one’s blood pump, Tina, Trish, and Sheila, whose tear stains were still clear on their faces as they sat in the taxi, could not speak for a long time.

“We just witnessed a battle between a giant ape that could create a mushroom cloud by just wielding its wooden stick and a red eyeball that looked like Magneto’s weapon from the future... I’m sorry. I have been doing live news broadcast for forty years, but I really don’t know what I should say. I can’t help but wonder what the human race can do other than to unite with each other in the face of these powerful creatures that would only appear in fantasy novels? There’s more than one ‘world’ in this world now. This is not a tongue twister nor a joke, but a true, living reality. Not only that, the residents from the other ‘worlds’ seem to have evolved completely differently from us, and they are not friendly to us as well... ”
