The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 411 - Warning
The ground shook again with Han Wu’s attack, carving another ravine into the earth. However, Wei En had vanished.
Han Wu scanned his surroundings, trying to sense her presence, yet he detected nothing. It was as if she had disappeared into thin air. He focused every ounce of his power into Detect but still failed to discover her whereabouts.
That could only mean that Wei En had managed to flee, and she had traveled so far that even he couldn’t tell which direction she had gone. Tracking her was impossible; he had to let her go.
He reverted to his human form, and fatigue washed over him. Thankfully, all of his stats exceeded 1,000 points, so the exhaustion wasn’t as severe as before. At the very least, he didn’t lose consciousness this time.
Void Jaw had digested the twelve Demigod clones, along with Wei En’s left leg. He extracted the Divine Essence out and counted a total of thirty-two units.
It was a vast amount of Divine Essence, enough to nurture a perfect Demigod from the ground up. He decided to divide it evenly between Qin Shuang and Jing Jing to strengthen his faction. Both had already collected some on their own, and with his share added, he was confident they could ascend into perfect Demigods, enhancing their stats and unlocking their third Divine Power.
As for Sun Qingnian, he had already entangled himself with several high-ranking women from the other races and factions. With his cunning and charm, he somehow managed to collect enough Divine Essence from his lovers to ascend into a perfect Demigod here. Han Wu had no reason to worry about him. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
During his battle with Wei En, Han Wu realized just how precarious his situation was. Almost everyone knew his faction’s current composition and strength, along with their exact location. Anyone could launch an ambush at any time. If the skeleton scouts hadn’t spotted Wei En and her group early, they would have suffered serious losses at the mines. What if they failed to detect the enemies next time?
Han Wu returned to his room to plan his next move. He would send a warning to intimidate his potential enemies. His goal was to spread fear so deeply that every student would avoid him the moment they heard his name.
His best target was obvious: Wei En, who had tried to ambush him. After reviewing the information from the auction, he discovered that she had founded a kingdom tailored for women. He would make her pay for the ambush by striking at her kingdom.
He discussed his plan with Qin Shuang, Jing Jing, and Sun Qingnian. All three agreed; Han Wu had to assert his strength. Otherwise, others would keep probing his limits. Wei En had already brought thirteen girls to the mine to seduce Han Wu. What if she returned tomorrow with the other factions’ elite forces? Han Wu needed to attack her first to deter any future aggression.
That night, he rallied his army, mounted the massive merged lesser golem, and led the march to Wei En’s kingdom.
Naturally, such a large force did not go unnoticed. The various factions’ scouts spotted the movement and rushed to report it. Their leaders were stunned to learn that Han Wu commanded not only a multitude of lesser golems but also one giant lesser golem. They all wondered who his target could be.
The answer came soon enough. When Han Wu stopped before Wei En’s kingdom, every faction received the same report from their scouts with disbelief. Han Wu’s mine faction and Wei En’s kingdom were newly formed, but the difference in their strength was undeniable.
Han Wu commanded only a few thousand lesser golems, while Wei En’s kingdom had hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Everyone assumed that Han Wu was digging his own grave, but the latter thought otherwise.
He ordered his army to stop ten kilometers from Wei En’s kingdom. The other factions’ scouts believed he was bluffing to intimidate Wei En. If not, he would have attacked the kingdom directly instead of stopping short. To them, his hesitation was obvious.
Their assumptions vanished the moment Han Wu issued his orders to his lesser golems. “Prepare the Magic Cannons!”
At once, the lesser golems heeded his command and channeled energy into their Magic Cannons to amplify their destructive power. Ten minutes later, Han Wu issued the next command, and over 700 Magic Cannons unleashed their barrage against Wei En’s kingdom in unison.
Their barrage easily shattered the city wall. Alarmed, the kingdom’s guards scrambled to gather their forces outside the city to find the attackers. Yet no trace of the enemy could be found, and no one knew who or what had attacked them.
Han Wu showed no intention of stopping. Ten minutes later, he gave the order for another volley. The bombardment killed both the guards rushing out of the city and the citizens trying to escape.
Watching the civilians die, Han Wu felt a tinge of guilt. Unfortunately, this was war, and no one would end it simply because innocents had fallen.
After two rounds from the Magic Cannons, the heavy city gates of Wei En’s kingdom lay in ruins. The scouts hiding in the dark stared in disbelief. Their factions had purchased lesser golems from Han Wu, yet none of them knew that those golems could use Magic Cannons.
They hurried to write their reports and sent them back through their respective channels. Han Wu knew what was happening but didn’t interfere. In fact, he wanted word to spread and let the world know that he wasn’t someone to be easily trampled.
Once the gates were down, Han Wu ordered his lesser golems to march into the city. Along the way, they passed fleeing citizens. Since they posed no threat, Han Wu spared them and pressed forward.
Wei En only appeared when Han Wu approached the grand palace at the kingdom’s heart.
