Chapter 337 Divine Clan
As the metallic wings soared toward Edmund at supersonic speed, David also flashed and disappeared into the void. Watching his own weapon flying towards him, Edmund burst into laughter.
"You're underestimating me too much! How could your weapon harm me?" Edmund said, extending his hand confidently to catch the metallic wings circling towards him. But at that moment, he realized David had vanished from his original position. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Oh no!" Edmund cursed inwardly, realizing that the metallic wings were just a diversion created by David. He quickly looked around, attempting to locate David's presence. But just as he was about to turn around, David appeared behind him at a speed surpassing light.
"No need to search, you're already a corpse," David's voice rang out. Edmund was taken aback and instinctively swung the metallic wings in his hand toward David behind him.
But how could David give him an opportunity? As Edmund raised his hand, David lifted the Staff of wasteland Earth, saying, "Born from wasteland... die in wasteland... this is your destiny!"
With a single thought, David activated the strange patterns on the Staff of wasteland Earth, unleashing a powerful burst of light. David inserted it into Edmund's heart without hesitation.
"Thud!" A massive, muffled sound reverberated through the wasteland world. Edmund, holding the metallic wings aloft, immediately halted his actions. He lowered his head in disbelief as he watched the Staff of wasteland Earth penetrate his heart.
"Die!" David shouted with a deep voice, filled with anger. The sound echoed through the heavens and the earth, turning countless rocks into dust in an instant.
"Boom!" Without giving Edmund any time to react, David swung the Staff of wasteland Earth. Intense light beams pierced through Edmund's body like swords, causing him excruciating pain. He tried to reach for the staff embedded in his chest with his right hand, but as soon as he extended it, his entire body exploded like a thousand-ton bomb.
His vision was instantly filled with a flash of blood, and his body shattered into countless pieces.
"No... impossible!" This was Edmund's final utterance. Then, a blinding light consumed everything, accompanied by a tremendous explosion that violently shook the entire wasteland world.
At the same time, the zombie-like monsters writhing in pain on the ground also exploded. The pungent smell of blood filled the air, and the sky was filled with flying pieces of flesh. It seemed like a battlefield of demons.
Under the feet of Ember's squad members, the high mountain turned into flat ground in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, they reacted quickly and immediately took to the air to avoid this catastrophe.
Several minutes later, the wasteland world returned to calmness once more. However, unlike before, there were no more mountains in this world. All the high mountains had been turned into flat ground by the explosion, and even the large rocks on the ground had turned into powder. Watching the dust rising in the barren world, David slowly returned to his normal size.
As for Edmund at this moment, his body had also returned to its normal state, but all that remained were scattered fragments on the ground. His severed head rolled on the ground, and his sinister black eyes glared fiercely at David. His severed hand reached out towards the Zerg Heart lying nearby.
Now, this was Edmund's only hope. As long as he obtained the Zerg Heart, he could regain the power of the Zerg and resurrect himself. He had lost all his fighting capabilities by now, and the insects that had entered his body had all turned into black corpses.
David let out a cold laugh and walked towards the Heart of the Zerg. After picking it up, he looked at Edmund and asked, "Are you looking for this?"
With that, David raised the Staff of wasteland Earth. The sharp tip of the staff pierced through Edmund's palm, causing intense pain.
"Ah! You..." The severe pain contorted Edmund's face instantly, and his gaze towards David turned malicious once again. It seemed like he wanted to jump up and bite David right now, but he couldn't summon the strength to do so. His entire body could only move his head. Helplessly, the mighty King of the Zerg in the wasteland world was being trampled upon by David like an ant.
"You... you will face retribution!" Edmund struggled to speak. At this moment, the members of the Embers Squad also arrived in front of David.
"Do you think you're powerful? Killing me means nothing. In front of the Spirit Emperor, you are just an ant! Even if you kill me, the Spirit Emperor will avenge me! Hahaha..." Listening to Edmund's words, David frowned slightly.
"Spirit Emperor?" It was the first time he had heard this name, and he had a vague sense that it represented another force. He looked at Viola, who shook her head, indicating that she had never heard of this name either, and the others were equally clueless.
So David released his foot and looked at Edmund again. "Tell me, what is the Spirit Emperor?" He wanted to extract information about the Spirit Emperor from Edmund.
"Hmph! What harm is there in telling you? The entire wasteland world was created by the great Spirit Emperor! As a deity, the Spirit Emperor is omnipresent, holding the lives and deaths of all beings and controlling the entire Barren Earth world. Your human race is nothing more than his playthings! Killing me won't save you from the Spirit Emperor's grasp!" Knowing he was doomed, Edmund gritted his teeth and spitefully told David.
In the entire Barren Earth world, the Dark City, Kui Clan, and Zerg were just three insignificant forces. Above these three forces stood the Divine Clan, which ruled over the world. The Divine Clan controlled the entire Barren Earth world and had even turned the entire Beast Clan and Zerg into their puppets.
The Spirit Emperor was the leader of the Divine Clan, existing in the void, soaring through the cosmos.
Listening to Edmund's words, David immediately understood. Edmund was nothing more than a puppet of the Divine Clan's Spirit Emperor. The entire wasteland world was created by the Spirit Emperor.
But what about the apocalypse? Why did it suddenly occur? Why did normal humans and animals turn into zombies and strange beasts? Could it be that the Divine Clan was the mastermind behind it all?
David's heart was filled with doubts at this moment. He had never expected that this world still had a Divine Clan, and they had been manipulating everything from the shadows. The human race was merely a plaything in the hands of the Divine Clan.
