Apocalypse Cheater

[: Daniel POV :]

As if grasping the air, I altered and manipulated the force of the space around me with a flip.

"What's going on!? Why am I in the air!?" The Tribe Leader exclaimed in disbelief.

It struggled to comprehend how it had ended up above me.

Looking downward, the sky appeared beneath it.

It was a disorienting and confusing moment.

After all, I had inverted the space around us.

Moments later, I harnessed the forces of void and space onto my palm.

Gathering both energies, the space and dimensions on my palms seemed to crack.

"What do you plan to do, human?" The Tribe Leader questioned in fear.

It finally realized the dire situation it was in, comprehending that from the start, it had no chance of winning.

However, all of its realizations came too late, and now, it could only watch in fear.

"Come here,"

I declared, and instantly, the massive body of the Tribe Leader was drawn towards me by an unknown, invisible force.

"What!?" The Tribe Leader's expression reflected fear and even despair.

As the Tribe Leader's body was pulled towards me, its head was positioned on my palm.

Clenching my fist, I delivered a punch the moment it approached.

Within a second, a shockwave flashed through the inferno land, distorting even the fabric of space.

Eventually, an unending suction appeared between my palm and its head, accompanied by the sound of cracking.

Before the Tribe Leader could comprehend its fate, its body cracked instantly.

The life within its eyes faded into nothingness, and its lifeless body dropped to the ground.

Without a doubt, it was over.

"That was easy," I declared.

While the joy of satisfaction had yet to manifest, I was content with my abilities.

Simultaneously, notifications continued to appear, but I disregarded them until the all of the tribe was killed.

I didn't want to level up immediately, hence, I had put all the obtained experience points on pause.

Otherwise, I would have ascended beyond Transcendent to the rank of Deity.

Thinking about becoming a Deity, there was a slight concern.

However, I chose to think about that later when the time comes.

Now that the Tribe Leader had perished, it was time for me to recruit my new shadows.

"Rise," I muttered.

At my command, the lifeless bodies of all the monsters began to rise.

Storms of shadows enveloped the land, as if it had been consumed by shadow itself.

Moments later, one by one, my newly recruited shadows started to rise, casting their shadowy gaze upon me.

[: You have recruited 15 Million Monsters and Giant Blaze Tribe Leader :]

So, the total was 15 million monsters?

Well, that was massive.

Reflecting on the monsters I had recruited from the previous tribe, I couldn't help but smile.

After all, the number of shadows I had recruited for the first time in a while had increased by millions!

I wondered how much further I could increase by the end of this quest.

Well, I couldn't help but look forward to it.

Once all the shadows had been recruited, I returned them to the realm of shadows.

Only then did I remember the three Saintesses.

Once I detected their presence, I promptly teleported right by their side.

"How are all of you? Did any of you sustain injuries?" I inquired with concern.

Despite the inconvenience of their constant accompany, there was nothing I could do about it.

Moreover, it wasn't their fault.

"We are all fine, and it's thanks to the barrier that we didn't suffer any injuries," Katie spoke up.

"That's right, Daniel," Liviana replied.

"Then I'm glad," I sighed with relief.

I was worried that my battle with the Tribe Leader might have caused harm to them.

After all, the scale of our battle was enough to destroy continents or even Earth itself.

"B-But what was that, Daniel!?"

Seraphina exclaimed in a myriad of emotions.

She pointed towards the battlefield, her body shaking.

It seemed her mind couldn't process what had just happened, and she couldn't decide which question to ask.

Looking at her expression, I chuckled softly.

"It's exactly what you see, Seraphina," I answered simply, and she fell silent.

"There's no need to think much, everything was within my capabilities," I said.

"There's... no way such a human could exist..."

She was baffled by my existence, finding it hard to believe.

"Well, here I am, and that proves a lot,"

I pointed towards myself, and Seraphina remained in silence.

"That's... awesome!"

Immediately, her speechless expression turned into that of someone who believed and idolized me.

"I never thought that a player and a human like you could possess so much power! Even that titanic monster had no chance!"

She exclaimed, her eyes full of admiration.

"Thanks for the compliment," I said with a smile.

"Well, time to move on to the next quest," I said.

Without hesitation or questions, they placed their hands above mine, and instantly, I teleported us to the next hideout of the 3rd Tribe.

"Where is this place?" Katie questioned once we arrived at the location.

"I never thought a place like this could exist," Liviana muttered in awe.

"The more I see, the more I can't help but think that it's such a waste that monsters occupied this land," Seraphina said.

I couldn't blame them for their opinions.

After all, this place was beautiful.

It was a forest, but different from the ones I had visited before.

It felt like an entity had decorated the forest to its liking, and each of the plants and trees was mesmerizing to gaze at.

"Watch out!"

The moment Seraphina took a step forward, one of the vines stretched and almost killed her if I hadn't intercepted. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"T-Thanks," Seraphina said with a mix of emotions.

"No problem,"

I said as I held the vine and burned it.

Now that I had sensed and scanned through the forest, I realized a terrifying fact.

"It seems this isn't a forest... but rather, the body of its Tribe Leader," I said with a furrowed brow.

"What!?"

All three of them were shocked by my words, fear evident in their eyes.

"Then... how do we kill it...?" Katie questioned.

Since their trust in me was considerable, their fear was consumed by their reliance on me.

Meaning to say, with me by their side, they had nothing to worry about, and they were right.

"For that, you can leave it up to me," I said confidently.

They nodded their heads and moved back, and I didn't forget to cast a barrier to protect them from any unwanted injuries.

At the same time, it was time to clear this forest.

For this forest, I decided to use a skill called 'Nuclear Burst,' and since each use consumed a million Mana, I had no trouble summoning a million Nuclear Bombs.

In the sky above this forest, one million Nuclear Bombs manifested from the Essences of Mana, each bomb covering 80 square miles.

As the Nuclear Bombs descended, it was a sight that hadn't been seen for centuries, and my heart beat in excitement as I initiated the countdown to the explosion.

The instant all of the Nuclear Bombs made contact with the ground, a cataclysmic explosion happened.

The sky and the forest quivered under the sheer force, generating earthquakes that reverberated through the land.

The shockwaves were potent, obliterating any monsters that inhabited the forest.

The sheer devastation left no remnants of life within the affected area.

It just shows human power it has unleashed upon exploding.

The force of the explosion was so immense that it obliterated not only the monsters but also every towering tree that had grew within the forst.

In the aftermath, what remained was a desolate and ravaged land, scarred by the devastating effects of the explosion and now saturated with radiation.

Even the Tribe Leader, a colossal entity that embodied the very forest itself, succumbed to the relentless barrage of Nuclear Bombs.

Now, with the devastated land, there was only silence and whispers of destruction.

Even though the body of the Tribe Leader had been killed, this was no doubt a Forest.

Hence, there was something need to be done.

Morevoer, I would never allow the radiation to spread.

Raising my palms, I harnessed my abilities to dispel the lingering radiation.

Instantly, the desolated was no cleansed from any radiation.

Simultaneously, the very essence of life surged through the barren landscape.

In an instant, tiny buds emerged from the soil, sprouting into saplings that rapidly matured.

The growth was astonishing, reaching a scale where the towering trees soared to touch the clouds.

The rejuvenation of the forest was swift and magical, as if the very spirit of nature had been manipulated and revived.

Within mere seconds, the forest had regained its vitality, transformed from a wasteland into a flourishing realm.

Satisfied with the restoration, it was time for me to move on to the next location, leaving behind the renewed and vibrant Forest.
