Upon seeing this exaggerated attribute that pushed limits to the extreme, everyone present was stunned silent.
“This, this is!”
“He is our new war god, the hope of our humanity. He has been in a state of devouring thunder since four and a half years ago. We sent those resources specifically for him.
Moreover, the batch of resources we’re sending now is especially important, as it contains fragments of god-level materials.
Perhaps it could elevate his strength. So, no matter what, we must deliver this batch of materials to him!”
Upon seeing this exaggerated, pulsating attribute chart, everyone fell into a deep shock.
Most of the front-line soldiers, captivated by the attribute chart, found their suppressed emotions released and obtained a glimmer of hope in the seemingly endless darkness.
“Turns out the Human Race has birthed a new war god, we have such an exceptional talent among us!”
“Wonderful, wonderful, heaven blesses our Human Race, we are saved!”
“The materials must be delivered, even if it means I have to die to secure a pathway, I will ensure they reach him!”
However, while the majority were giving in to their cheers, there were some, including Christian Hyde, who remained cautious.
“Why didn’t they reveal this information from the beginning?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to publicly announce such a matter?
This is the hope for all humanity, having such hope would be a morale booster for everyone!”
Christian Hyde hit the nail on the head, and Harlan Ainsley exchanged a look with Zack Murphy. Zack let out a sigh, finally admitting, “It’s not that we didn’t want to, but we couldn’t!
Although people need hope, they just can’t bear the collapse of hope once again!”
“You may not be able to perceive it from this attribute chart.
But I can tell you that the owner of this chart, that boy, is suffering daily pains far beyond anything most of you could endure!”
“A god-level talent is indeed powerful, but the price to be paid for it is equally enormous.
Every time he absorbs thunder energy, the process of transforming and enhancing his power inflicts excruciating pain.
I have experienced that pain!”
At this point, Zack’s face turned pale, as if recalling something.
“I always considered myself resilient, but in that agony, I almost had thoughts of ending my life. Yet, I only had to endure it for 7 days, and the pain I felt was just a fraction of his.
He has been enduring such pain for four and a half years
It’s hard to imagine how this boy possesses such an adamant resolve,
If not for his occasional small reactions asking about time, we might even think his consciousness has been crushed,
And with the increasing power, the transformation becomes increasingly aggressive.
Under such strenuous transformations, no one can assure that he can persist to the end,
His spirit now is like a taut wire, it may snap at any moment!”
“Then why don’t you let him stop? His attributes are already so terrifying, far better than anyone present. Why take such a risk?”
“This boy doesn’t want to stop. He believes his current power still isn’t enough to save the human race, he needs to get stronger, hence why he has persevered until now.
However, it’s almost time, he has recently shown signs of wanting to stop, and perhaps this batch of resources will be enough for him to stop,
So, this batch of resources must be delivered, no matter what, and I ask for your help!”
After Zack finished speaking, he extended his hand sincerely toward the soldiers present.
Everyone in the room exchanged glances and, including Christian Hyde, they each placed a fist over their heart, “We pledge to complete the mission!”
Afterward, a breakout was organized from the frontline again.
With Zack Murphy as the leader and Christian Hyde as his deputy, they enlisted two-thirds of the soldiers from the frontline to launch a desperate breakout.
Right from the start, Zack Murphy exerted his full power.
At the cost of his life, he tore open a gap, covering for Christian Hyde and the others to kill their way out through it.
Christian Hyde and his men, teeth clenched, charged out along the path paved with Zack Murphy’s blood. On a short twenty or thirty-kilometer journey, more than half of the hundred or so soldiers who came out were killed or injured. Finally, the package was delivered to the designated location by Christian Hyde.
Here, the professionals from the Human Race had set up a teleportation array, waiting for them.
“Mission accomplished!”
Bloodied, Christian Hyde, along with his few remaining generals, delivered the package.
The venerable messenger, delighted, accepted the package, then turned to Christian Hyde and his band, “Great, finally the package is here. You generals are gravely injured, come back with me for respite!”
Christian Hyde looked back at his officers, “Who wants to go back?”
No one answered.
Christian Hyde raised an eyebrow, rested his gaze on the most seriously wounded few, “Finn, Neil, Alex, Brian, you guys are badly injured, you should go back!”
“I’m not leaving!”
“Boss, you know me. My family is gone. What am I going back for?”
“The frontline needs me!”
No one chose to go back, and Christian Hyde did not force them.
“In that case, let’s head back to the front lines!”
Having said that, Christian Hyde turned and led the handful of generals back into the endless tide of beasts.
Watching their resolute departures, the professional in charge of teleportation, teary-eyed, silently gave a salute, then gritted his teeth and sent the package away.
Christian Hyde and his men had their mission, and he had his.
Sending the package was more important than anything else.
For Christian Hyde and his group of ten or so men, the journey back was much smoother compared to their breakout.
During the breakout, there was no room for delay and they had to barrel through, but they could afford to meander on their way back.
After five days, Christian Hyde led the group back to the frontline.
Along with them, they brought intelligence about the beast tide collected over these five days, and also a piece of Zack Murphy’s clothing. These items were delivered into the hands of Harlan Ainsley.
Looking at that piece of cloth, Harlan Ainsley, trembling, accepted it and patted Christian Hyde’s shoulder heavily.
“You’ve worked hard!”
“I’m going on night watch!”
Christian Hyde nodded and left, no rest for him as he joined the intense defensive efforts.
In the following three days, the beast tide on the frontline took shape as anticipated, a massive beast tide.
Seeing the boundless beast tide forming, all the soldiers on the front lines were determined, not retreating an inch.
The battle erupted instantly, with the immense beast tide surging against the frontline defenses.
Just a few blows and the frontline was on the verge of collapse.
Everyone realized clearly that they wouldn’t survive this wave of beasts.
“Looks like we will not make it. I wonder what will happen to the defense after we die, what will become of the humans, is there really someone who can withstand this, who can ultimately save humanity?”
Next to Christian Hyde, a soldier looked behind in a murmur, his eyes filled with expectation and hope.
Christian Hyde, beside him, looked in the direction of the beast tide.
He had never believed in a savior. He believed that if humanity wanted to save itself, it had to rely on itself!
But at this moment, he chose to comfort his comrades!
“There will be…”
“I don’t know if someone will be able to save mankind, but I know at least I can deal with this beast tide in front of me!”
Before Christian Hyde could finish his comforting words, a voice rang out beside him.
Christian Hyde was taken aback, and turned to see a clean-looking youth holding a wooden sword, who had somehow appeared on the frontline.
The young man grinned at him and stepped forward, standing at the very front of the defense line.
He swung his wooden sword!
In an instant, endless thunder burst out.
The terrifying power of thunder, like a wave, rippled out from him. Where his blade pointed, everything within dozens of miles was reduced to rubble!
