The Giant Mountain God King was in disbelief.
The beast clan's god kings had only just begun to process what had happened.
Regret and remorse spread across their faces.
They regretted attacking the 5-Elent God Realm.
If they hadn't, such a massive loss wouldn't have occurred.
This was an army of a million beast clan warriors, after all!
Among them, how many were elite fighters?
And now, with just a single strike, those warriors were reduced to ash.
Not even a trace of blood or flesh remained.
The Serpent God King could even hear the cries of fear from the beast clan warriors behind him.
These were supposed to be fearless warriors, selected for their valor and courage.
But after witnessing such a terrifying attack, even they felt fear.
So began to cry.
The beast clan warriors weren't afraid to die—they accepted death on the battlefield as their fate.
But this kind of aningless death, without even seeing their enemy, left them terrified. Continue your adventure at empire
The thought of dying in such a futile manner, reduced to nothingness, was unbearable.
Hearing the sobs of his troops, the Serpent God King realized he had made a grave mistake.
He should never have agreed to this so-called "alliance" with the human god kings.
The impending calamity hadn't even truly begun.
The earlier signals of disaster weren't even a prelude.
If they were, the God Realm would have already undergone cataclysmic changes over the past two years.
But so far, no such upheaval had occurred.
The Serpent God King had ignored these signs, blinded by sunk costs.
He had focused solely on annihilating the 5-Elent God Realm.
Today, however, the 5-Elent God King's devastating strike shattered his illusions.
The Serpent God King finally woke up.
It was his fault.
The beast clan wasn't ready for this fight.
They should have stayed in the south, waiting for the right mont when calamity truly struck.
But now, their million-strong army was all but annihilated.
He had beco the beast clan's greatest sinner.
The Serpent God King lifted his head, his gaze landing on the 5-Elent God King.
He couldn't comprehend how the 5-Elent God King possessed such terrifying power.
Why hadn't he used it earlier if he had this strength?
The Serpent God King's mind was filled with unanswered questions.
As he pondered, the 5-Elent God King slowly approached, prompting the Serpent God King to instinctively retreat two steps.
The searing pain coursing through his body reminded him that the 5-Elent God King was not soone they could afford to provoke.
"I've already told you—there was only one chance," the 5-Elent God King said coldly, addressing the beast clan god kings.
Silence fell among the beast clan god kings.
The confidence they once held was utterly destroyed.
The Giant Mountain God King, however, spoke up:
"5 elents, I was wrong. I misjudged you. I apologize! Please, for the sake of our long-standing friendship, spare my life."
His voice was weak and desperate.
The injuries he had sustained were severe, and he could feel his life slipping away.
As a god king, he should have had tens of thousands of years ahead of him.
But now, without imdiate treatnt, he knew death was inevitable.
Regret consud him as he begged for rcy.
The 5-Elent God King looked at him coldly.
"Giant Mountain, this will be the last ti I call you that.
Why do you still cling to such naivety?
Do you really think I'll let you go?"
The Giant Mountain God King's heart sank at those words.
He stamred, "But we've known each other for so many years—surely I wouldn't harm you.
The teleportation array… it wasn't my doing! I was forced!"
But before he could finish, his voice abruptly ceased.
The 5-Elent God King had acted decisively, striking him down.
The Giant Mountain God King was dead.
One god king had fallen.
The others shuddered, their hearts gripped by fear.
If even soone as close to the 5-Elent God King as the Giant Mountain God King t such a fate, what chance did they have?
The remaining god kings were paralyzed with terror.
But to the 5-Elent God King, this scene was now almost boring.
There had been tis, defending the cities, when he had fantasized about killing all of them.
But now, with the opportunity within reach, he found himself indifferent.
At different stages of life, perspectives truly change.
Faced with an easy victory, he suddenly felt no desire to kill them all.
Turning to the Serpent God King, he declared:
"My earlier terms still stand.
Three god kings will serve the 5-Elent Temple forever, and I'll spare the beast clan."
The Serpent God King, without hesitation, agreed.
He had no other choice.
The mory of that devastating attack haunted him.
If such power were directed at the beast clan's holand, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Fine. But the Fox God King stays," the 5-Elent God King added.
The Serpent God King hesitated, but he had no room to negotiate.
One god king would return to the beast clan to ensure they never stepped foot in the 5-Elent God Realm again.
Bowing deeply, the Serpent God King thanked him.
The 5-Elent God King then turned to the five human god kings.
They were pale and defeated, resembling condemned prisoners awaiting their fate.
The sight of the Giant Mountain God King's demise had crushed any hope they might have had.
These god kings had united with the beast clan to attack the 5-Elent God Realm—there was no chance they'd be spared.
Yet, to their shock, the 5-Elent God King spoke:
"You're all free to go.
Get out of my sight with your pathetic, defeated faces—I can't stand the sight of you!"
The god kings stared at him in disbelief.
They had resigned themselves to death, yet he was letting them go?
They couldn't process it.
"What are you waiting for? If you want to die, I can oblige! Otherwise, get lost!"
His outburst broke their stupor.
Realizing he was serious, they fled hastily, their retreating figures almost comical in their desperation.
