The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 657 - 650 Submission

I don’t know how much longer we can hold on, I don’t even know if there’s any point in holding on.

Success and failure are often just a hair’s breadth apart, If Gao Yuan and the others could withstand the attack of the Serpent People, then the Serpent People would have no means to continue their assault, and Spark Squad could leave before the arrival of the Serpent People’s mothership.

But even though humanity’s latest technology has performed quite well, it still isn’t good enough. Even with Xinghe’s assistance, Spark Squad wasn’t able to escape the full-on strike of the Serpent People.

Many things are beyond choice, followed by a struggle to do one’s utmost. If it succeeds, it succeeds; if it doesn’t, then it just doesn’t.

Gao Yuan needed to face the remaining monsters. He had done well, but it still wasn’t enough.

Holding on a few minutes longer, or a few minutes less, actually doesn’t make much of a difference.

But one always needs to hold on a bit, even if it’s just for a few minutes, for maybe that’s when a miracle might occur.

Life often works this way; there are things that might not lead to success even if you do them, but not doing them, that certainly eliminates any chance of success.

In some matters, it’s enough just to try your best, only wishing to be without regret.

Now, no matter how the Serpent People’s ships commanded, those humanoid monsters still didn’t dare to approach Gao Yuan.

The massive giants continued to head towards Gao Yuan, who still stood on the roof of the vehicle. He didn’t know if he could fend off the next giant beast’s attack, or when he himself would collapse, never to stand again.

Xinghe was trapped in her own Mech.

The Mech is the mightiest weapon and defense, yet now it was Xinghe’s prison.

Even the Celestial could not create something without any flaws, and a Mech is a system that relies on a power source, not armor worn by Xinghe.

Even though Xinghe wasn’t injured and was in good condition, she didn’t even have the strength to open her Mech, let alone stand up.

Change had already lost the ability to self-destruct. Jia Weidong wanted to rush out, and Xiang Weiguo gripped his bayonetted rifle, but going out meant certain death—instant death, not lasting even a second longer.

Spark Squad is a whole. Gao Yuan has an irreplaceable role, but he is also irreplaceable by others. At this point, everyone else had completed their task, but what remained was Gao Yuan’s; he had to finish it.

Gao Yuan used the hind limbs of an Armored Beast to prop himself up and remain standing. The clearing around him continued to expand very slowly, but at this moment, another group of giant beasts finally made their heavy footsteps heard, shoving aside the blocking humanoid monsters, and charged towards Gao Yuan.

"You turned me into a weapon, no monster can destroy my Mech, you turned me into a weapon..."

Gao Yuan finally heard Xinghe’s cries. He looked at the Mech buried under the bodies of monsters and then did not lift Xinghe to use her as a weapon, but instead gripped the long spear in his left hand.

Using the long and hard limbs of the Armored Beast as a spear was, indeed, quite fitting.

The incoming group was of enormous beasts, larger than elephants, slow-moving, covered not in shells but in long hair, with six huge, thick legs. Despite the increased number of legs, these monsters did not move any faster.

The vastness of the universe exceeds human imagination, as does the array and strangeness of life within it, surpassing even the most brilliant human conceptions.

This time, there were at least a hundred of these monsters, all of the same kind and from the same batch. Their slow movement had put them at the rear, but their tremendous brute strength allowed them to push through the monsters blocking their path, and under the command of the ships, they produced a loud and unpleasant roar, thundering their way forward.

Gao Yuan raised the spear, aiming at the foremost beast.

The monster covered in grayish-white long fur gradually slowed down until bumped from behind by the other creatures, then the giant beast stood up, turned around, and flipped the one that had pushed it onto the ground.

But the giant beast did not charge at Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan moved a step forward, and the two leading creatures took a step back, continuing to howl.

Then, one of the creatures suddenly sprawled on the ground, still emitting a painful and angry roar, yet it did not dare approach Gao Yuan any closer.

They surged forward menacingly, but upon reaching him, they did not dare to advance further.

Gao Yuan continued to slowly walk forward, so the newly arrived creatures began to retreat, and some who were blocked by their kind and could not turn around or retreat simply lay prostrate on the ground.

Lying there, not daring to raise their heads, this motion meant only one thing, submission.

Gao Yuan held the leg of an Armored Beast, forcing a large group of creatures in front of him to sprawl on the ground in submission.

Although he was covered in blood, almost unable to stand, naked, and appearing extremely ragged, at this moment, Gao Yuan resembled the War God.

There were still the hideous roars of monsters, but Gao Yuan felt as if the world had suddenly quieted down.

The noise no longer seemed chaotic, as long as the creatures did not attack anymore; even if a million bombs went off at the same time next to Gao Yuan’s ear, he would not find it noisy.

The ships in the sky still prompted the monsters to attack Gao Yuan, but the monsters still did not dare to strike.

There had to be a hierarchy among the creatures, a level of oppression; otherwise, so many different types of monsters would start fighting amongst themselves. The Serpent People threw the creatures down to be used as weapons, not to slaughter each other.

Monsters were orderly in their madness, throwing themselves into a frenzied attack on Gao Yuan, their target, but they did not fight one another.

Within the rules set by the Serpent People, Gao Yuan became the king, so his persistence and sacrifices were now worthwhile.

At that moment, the booming sound of artillery finally came.

Gao Yuan knew reinforcements would come. In the initial battle, human infantry and weapons were rendered useless, but now, after the Serpent People’s main forces had been annihilated, facing the remaining creatures, human regular troops could once again be effective.

If the Ram had started to assemble heavy firepower immediately after leaving reluctantly, then it was indeed possible that he could come charging over with an armored force by now.

Infantry alone would be useless, even if every soldier was a sharpshooter like the Ram.

It had to be an armored force; there had to be protection to survive in front of the still vast number of humanoid creatures.

The artillery fire began to spread among the creatures, rolling out in succession from the outside in, but judging by the location of the fire, and the direction, it was not coming from Djibouti.

Far away, Gao Yuan saw a line of tanks, the tanks advancing in a wedge formation towards him.

The tanks turned on their headlights, exposing their positions without any restraint, creating tremendous noise as they fired their guns while heading towards Gao Yuan.

The creatures began to stir again, but this time their attention was on the tanks.

Then came another explosion. Gao Yuan turned around, his single eye saw a mushroom cloud rising with a trail of fire. To use tactical nuclear weapons so recklessly, it must be Ram arriving.
