Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 43

Chapter 43: The God Of Demonic Ants

The Demonic Ant armies were utterly defeated. However, they reassembled after receiving the two Empresses telepathic messages. The Demonic Ants of the two colonies united with only one goal in mind, which was to destroy that human before their eyes!

“Although we have some disagreements and conflicts, we from the same community must unite when we encounter formidable foreign enemies. We can only defeat the enemy by uniting!”

It was a basic instinct and a kind of community willpower among similar species. Members from the same community and nation must unite when foreign enemies invade. However, there were also some special cases. However, there were also some special cases where cowards and betrayers come into being all for the sake of honor or power. However, there were no such special cases among the Demonic Ants because… Well because they were Demonic Ants. As Demonic Ants, they would listen to their Empress’s command unconditionally unless the Empress had surrendered.

The Demonic Ants from two colonies gathered and once again rushed towards Wei Huo. This time, both Empresses utilized their telepathy skills. They unite as one and sworn to kill Wei Huo.

Wei Huo frowned in confusion. How did they suddenly recognize him as a human being?

He lifted his head and stared at the sky. That was the first time Wei Huo doubted the truth of him being neglected by God.

‘Come to think of it, if God needed a tester, wouldn’t he be the best tester himself?’

If God gave him the title ‘The loner neglected by God’, did that mean God did not actually overlook him?

Ultimately, God just wanted to increase Wei Huo’s survival rate.

However right now…

Wei Huo looked at those Demonic Ant armies surging towards him. He asked himself, ‘Was God trying to eliminate the Demonic Ant race through my hands?’

Wei Huo shook his head.

Never predict God’s will with a mortal’s heart. You never would have guessed God’s thoughts. Moreover, God would never make mistakes!

No matter what God was thinking Wei Huo only had one thought in his mind at that moment, and that was to survive!

He clenched his fist tightly. Facing the armies surging towards him, he exerted his full power for the first time and threw a punch!

One Punch!

The next moment, ear-splitting thunder rumbles blared through the sky!

The Demonic Ants ahead of Wei Huo were slaughtered instantly. The Demonic Ants immediately disappeared as Wei Huo threw his terrifying lightning punch. A white blast appeared and the ground was covered in black ashes.

Fear crept over the Demonic Ants. The terrifying legends of humans that were passed down by word-of-mouth came to their minds.

Human beings were enormous in size. They could also control floods, fires and trigger earthquakes. They were very cruel and cold-blooded.

“Demonic Ant God, please rescue us! Please descend to our world and kill this human!”

Many Demonic Ants dared not advance. They knelt on the ground and prayed. Wei Huo was surprised by the content of their prayers.

The Demonic Ant God’s legend was passed down along with the terrifying human legends. In the legend, the Demonic Ant God often rescued endangered ants. At times, they would leave food like biscuit crumbs, toffees, chewing gums, and scattered sesames in front of anthills. They would also place green leaves to rescue ants which were attacked by floods. Legends also said that the Demonic Ant God would bring selected ants on a trip, sending the ants to places that they would never reach in their lifetime in a split second.

Wei Huo suddenly understood everything on how those legends came to be. The legends were based on those civilized ants’ views on humans. Evil persons were the terrifying demons, while good persons were the kind-hearted Demonic Ant Gods.

The God in their eyes was merely someone who was stronger than them.

If that was the case, would those which humans considered as God be merely a creature stronger than themselves?

Wei Huo suddenly realized a serious problem. The so-called God who changed the world never said that he was a God!

He was too naive and thought through things simply. He was not looking at the bigger picture and only saw the tip of the iceberg. How naive his thoughts were of the truth. Was the world really that simple to begin with?

Humans’ thoughts were unstoppable once they began thinking. The moment Wei Huo’s awful conjectures started, it could not be stopped now as numerous scary possibilities rushed across his brain.

‘If my whole life was destined, how do I contend this cruel fate now?’

Wei Huo was the kind of person who did not talk much, but loved thinking nonsense. Although he could withstand the loneliness, he was still afraid that his fate was fixed.

Wei Huo looked at the bewildered ants, and suddenly realized how similar they were to him. They were just one of God’s many playthings.

Right when Wei Huo was in his own thoughts, the Empresses started communicating with their Demonic Ants through telepathy. “The Demonic Ant God is looking upon us. However, he wants to see our loyalty and bravery. We will be rewarded by the Demonic Ant God if we can eradicate the human ahead of us!”

Wei Huo frowned. ‘Are you sure the Demonic Ant God is looking upon you?’

As though they were injected with stimulants, countless ants stood up and charged forward towards Wei Huo with their weapons. Their renewed battlecries gave the impression as if they had endless strength.

It seemed like the Demonic Ant God held a high status in their hearts. Facing the Demonic Ants who were attacking him together, Wei Huo could not stay still anymore.

Guessing God’s will with a mortal’s heart was the most foolish act. One should live for oneself!

Wei Huo decided on forgetting about everything. He cared no more about God. He only wanted to survive, and to do that he could only kill all the Demonic Ants.

He banished his thoughts on everything, and advanced towards the Demonic Ant armies.

He faced thousands of ant armies all by himself.

Wei Huo became caught up in his massacre. It was as though something had influenced his mind. ‘Not for the sake of humans and God, only for myself!’

The Item Mall suddenly opened, and Wei Huo used up an astonishing amount of Magical Stones. A set of armor was suddenly equipped on his body, and a two-meter long Dragon Spear [1][1] appeared in his hand. The Dragon Spear swept across the air and countless Demonic Ants were slaughtered in half.

However, endless fearless Demonic Ants were still surging towards Wei Huo. At that moment, Wei Huo hurled a few grenades towards them. The grenades exploded in the groups of Demonic Ants and instantly blasted countless Demonic Ants into smithereens.

Rare-ranked?

Rare-ranked did not represent anything at all.

Humanity’s power never came from the body. It was from their intelligence!

Wei Huo’s eyes turned bloodshot during the frantic massacre. His eyes were red like those animals that went frenzied.

However, after his eyes turned red, Wei Huo felt as though he entered a mysterious realm. It was as though Wei Huo could see through God’s perspective in this realm. Nothing could escape his ‘eyes’. Some of the Demonic Ants were attacking from behind him, but he could smash their heads with one punch without even looking back at all.

At this moment, Wei Huo was reminded of Lu Qiqi’s word. “I’m an artificial being, I have no soul. I can only cultivate Qi but I can’t refine my mind or return to the void.”

Wei Huo suddenly understood a core issue!

Humans have souls!
