The violent explosion of the Solar Nuke nearly destroyed a quarter of the Divine Realm, resulting in devastating damage to the temple.
Among the three thousand Beast Soldiers brought by Hong Lickqi, only ten powerful Beast Soldiers managed to escape the nightmare of death. This included the Fire Beast, while the Tiger Beast was too concerned about the safety of the other Beast Soldiers and did not manage to flee in time.
The others were orcs from the Winged Tribe, all having reached the level of Beast General, their abilities not to be underestimated. Following their Young Master, they fled the battlefield in disarray, leaping over the Demon God Barrier and hastily making their way to Beastman Village.
The Demon Palace was where they felt safe.
Previously, Yu Tian had single-handedly infiltrated Beastman Village and fought against the Demon Palace, facing over ten thousand Beast Soldiers. Those were merely untrained Beast Soldiers, consisting mostly of external patrols of Half-Orcs. If all the internal Beast Soldiers had engaged in battle, it would have been a tough fight for Yu Tian.
Using magic or their wings, they flew into the territory of Beastman Village. Hong Lickqi signaled to the guards atop the tower before quickly rushing toward the Demon Palace and landing smoothly. The other ten or so Beast Soldiers flew toward their respective camps; despite their injuries, they needed time to tend to their wounds. For Hong Lickqi, his top priority was to report to his father and inform him that enemies were approaching again.
“Father, it’s bad… another group of Galactic humans has come; they used a scheme to kill all the Beast Soldiers, and only I and a few Beast Generals managed to escape!” Hong Lickqi said as he entered the main hall. He believed his father would be waiting here for news.
It had been two days since he left to fight in the Divine Realm, but on this Kadar Planet, two days was not a long time. S. Rikkichi would surely be here waiting for his only son to return safely if there were no urgent matters at hand…
However, his voice echoed within the Demon Palace without any response.
Hong Lickqi felt puzzled; nothing significant should have happened at this time.
As he pondered this, he ventured deeper into the Demon Palace. The side door still lacked that familiar figure. He quickly walked into the side hall but found no sign of S. Rikkichi in the living quarters either.
“What’s going on? Could something serious have happened?” Although Hong Lickqi thought this way, he continued searching in the rooms behind…
Meanwhile, in the Orthodox Demon Realm and Half-Orc Territory, an intense battle was underway…
Countless Beast Soldiers wielding spiked clubs or carrying large stone axes charged toward the orc area, where Half-Orcs were fiercely resisting the invading rebels.
"King... I have confirmed that the opposing force is a remnant of the Winged Tribe. They settled on the border with the permission of the Orcs due to dissatisfaction with the distribution of racial rights. There may be some instigation behind this, leading them to wage war against us... Their leader is a Cicada-Winged Fire Beast named Du Yu..." A ragged Beast Soldier rushed to S. Rikkichi, who was observing the battle, and reported loudly.
"Cicada-Winged Fire Beast? Another formidable figure from the Winged Tribe has emerged; no wonder they dare to attack our Half-Orcs... You all maintain the current situation. They lack sufficient reinforcements, and we should see results soon!" S. Rikkichi appeared calm as he watched the distant fighting.
On a high ground outside the border, several Orcs with enormous wings were discussing something...
"Du Yu... you cannot do this... if we proceed this way, we might find ourselves caught in a pincer attack..." An elderly Orc with light red wings reprimanded a younger one in front of him, who had a pair of fiery red wings behind him. This elder was his father, and despite now being the highest commander of this unit, Du Yu held great respect for his father and regarded his orders as sacred.
"Father... if we don't do this, the Orcs will not allow us to continue residing in this area!" Du Yu's wings trembled slightly, the red hue flaring up momentarily.
"Sigh... I never expected you to become a Cicada-Winged Fire Beast. When you had yet to awaken, you were so ordinary, but now you possess such powerful strength. Even if a few Necromancers came, you could stand against them... However, there is something I must tell you..." Du Lie, Du Yu's father, had wings that appeared old and frail, yet his eyes shone brightly.
"Father... please speak plainly..." Du Yu respectfully gestured for him to continue.
The other commanders nearby quietly observed the exchange between father and son. Although they held certain ranks and authority, they did not dare oppose this duo, especially after Du Yu's awakening into a Cicada-Winged Fire Beast.
"My son... you are fortunate to have awakened as a Cicada-Winged Fire Beast and possess extraordinary power. I believe that as long as the elders of Lost Forest do not intervene, you will be invincible... But remember, you cannot fully reveal your strength; you must constantly conceal it. Otherwise, all the experts in the demon realm will see you as an enemy. There will always be powerful foes; if those elders from Lost Forest get involved and challenge you, you will find yourself at a disadvantage..." Du Lie cleared his throat before continuing, "Your immense power should only be displayed before our kin; otherwise, it will make you their target. If that happens, the limitations of beast abilities could be shattered like in ancient times. Our family would then struggle to regain its former glory... You must remember that even when cornered with no way out, you must strive to hide your true capabilities..."
As he spoke, the wrinkles on Du Lie's face deepened like crevices. The other commanders felt fortunate to overhear this conversation; indeed, this father-son pair treated all beasts like family. They silently vowed to keep this secret safe; after all, their superiors were among the strongest here—why would they be foolish enough to oppose them?
"Father... but I'm afraid... there are too many Half-Orcs; I fear that even our aerial advantage may be compromised..." Du Yu's fiery red wings fluttered as he struggled with accepting that he had to bow down despite his strength.
"For the sake of our Blazing Fire Clan's interests, you must endure. During this time, do not relax; focus on training yourself..." Du Lie looked at his son with mixed feelings. It was somewhat comforting to have such a powerful son!
"Yes... I understand, Father... I will do my best for the glory of Blazing Fire Clan..." Du Yu bowed slightly to his father before spreading his wings and flying toward the battlefield.
The Winged Tribe attacking from mid-air held a significant advantage. They continuously hurled sharp stone weapons while several awakened members released Magic Spheres and protective shields. The Half-Orcs below were not without their strengths; they launched countless stones and spells targeting the wings of the Winged Tribe. If any unfortunate Winged Tribe member was struck and fell, many Half-Orcs would rush over to attack fiercely.
After several hours of battle, casualties were minimal; most injuries resulted in withdrawal. Both sides had deployed over one hundred thousand troops; among them were more than twenty thousand Winged Tribe members in the air and many warriors whose wings had not fully Enlightened yet. They fought on the front lines to cover their fellow Winged Tribe brothers behind them.
The Winged Tribe is a peculiar race. After birth, members of the Winged Tribe enter three states, marked by the transitions of Enlightenment and Awakening. Before reaching Enlightenment, the Winged Tribe cannot fly, but as they progress, they can glide short distances. Once they achieve Enlightenment, their muscles gain enough strength to enable flight; however, they lack magical abilities and can only engage in combat using weapons. After entering Awakening, the Winged Tribe can harness elements recognized during their awakening and form a lifelong contract with that element, using Life Fire to exchange for the right to wield Magic Elements. This process is similar to the contract used by Yu Tian, but it is considerably safer.
Upon seeing their leader arrive, the morale of the Winged Tribe surged temporarily, allowing them to push their defensive line forward by several hundred meters. The Half-Orc's battlefront began to retreat as they watched the Winged Tribe in the sky flap their wings and exploit their aerial advantage to attack. The Half-Orcs found it challenging to counter this assault.
The rapid catapults created by the Young Master were unable to keep pace with the battle, failing to strike down the Winged Tribe warriors in time. Consequently, those hit were quickly taken away by medics.
"Damn it... if you have guts, come down here and fight me one-on-one!" shouted a Beast Soldier wielding a two-meter-long stone axe, gesturing angrily at the sky. Numerous spells immediately flew toward him, but with their beastly heritage, they remained resilient and charged forward fiercely.
The newly winged members of the Winged Tribe utilized their agile bodies to maneuver in combat, darting behind the Beast Soldiers one moment and leaping onto them for lethal strikes the next. However, this entanglement lacked significant lethality.
"Quick! Call out your so-called Beast King!" Du Yu shouted as he flew to the edge of the battlefield.
"The king... their leader is engaged in combat," a scout reported as he half-kneeled before S. Rikkichi, speaking softly.
"Oh? I see... I'm on my way!" S. Rikkichi's expression turned cold as he instantly left his platform. Magical Energy surged around him, intensifying rapidly until he transformed into a massive Two-Headed Serpent that soared toward the front lines.
As Du Yu saw such a gigantic Serpent approaching him, cold sweat broke out on his forehead; it was just as rumored... that self-proclaimed Beast King was indeed the Two-Headed Serpent. The two heads of the Serpent swayed irregularly while its blue-green eyes fixated intently on Du Yu's bright red wings.
To avoid being overwhelmed by his opponent's presence, Du Yu prepared to exert his own suppressive energy just enough to match that of his adversary. Suddenly, his wings expanded wildly, and his body grew several times larger; although he couldn't match the Serpent's size entirely, he was not far off.
Seeing such a colossal Serpent flying toward him instilled fear in the Winged Tribe warriors; however, witnessing their leader stand firm against it rekindled their determination to fight.
To prevent any potential betrayal on the battlefield, S. Rikkichi deliberately did not send any reserve soldiers from the Winged Tribe. He had anticipated such a tough battle but had hoped to capture all enemies once their leader appeared. After estimating his opponent's strength, S. Rikkichi remained optimistic; he believed that his opponent's energy levels were significantly inferior to his own.
"You dare challenge me as a traitor of the Winged Tribe? Truly overestimating yourself..." S. Rikkichi declared as he took up a battle stance.
"Let's see about that!" Du Yu roared as he furiously flapped his wings, unleashing countless flames toward the Two-Headed Serpent. Snakes are cold-blooded creatures that typically fear fire; however, S. Rikkichi had undergone trials in another world as a Half-Orc and had long since broken through this limitation...
"Is this little flame supposed to defeat me?" S. Rikkichi opened his serpent mouth wide and extended his tongue as a wave of black energy shot forth directly toward Du Yu's flames...
Du Yu certainly did not dare to relax. His wings shifted their form and gently flapped, instantly conjuring a fireball that spun around him. When the moment was right, he launched it straight at S. Rikkichi.
"Damn it... using that trick? I'll finish you off in one go..." With this thought, S. Rikkichi raised his two heads high, his serpent tongue retracting as he began to chant an ancient snake language. This forbidden technique could be unleashed quickly, and in an instant, a black hole appeared before him, its powerful gravitational pull starting to devour everything.
"Chaos that devours all..." Seeing this, Du Yu was alarmed; this was a powerful magic capable of transcending energy levels. Fear crept into Du Yu's heart as he prepared to fully unleash himself and enter the final Cicada-Wing state. Just then, he heard his father's voice calling from behind:
"Son... be careful..."
That voice quickly pulled Du Yu back from his thoughts. Turning around, he saw his father rushing toward the black hole.
Du Lie had awakened and entered the Super Body state. Du Yu understood that as long as the entrance was blocked, he would be safe, and at that moment, he grasped his father's intentions.
"Don't do this!!!" Du Yu shouted loudly as Du Lie brushed past him. But it was too late; Du Lie's wings collided directly with the black hole!
"Beast King... I submit... spare my father. As long as you agree to let us live here, we are willing to do anything!!!" Du Yu could not bear to watch his father being completely consumed. At that moment, Du Lie's wings had vanished, and what was being swallowed was his very body. He could not be an unfilial son.
"Surrender? It seems your Cicada-Winged Fire Beast is only capable of this... truly disappointing..." Although S. Rikkichi said this, he felt pleased upon hearing the other side's surrender. "For now, I will accept your terms..."
"Father!!!" Du Yu cried out as he rushed toward his father. The black hole disappeared, the wings lost, and Du Lie was plummeting rapidly.
The warriors watching all this instantly halted their battles. They had been observing their leader's fight but never expected such an outcome...
