Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1045
Chapter 1045: Miracles? Drastic Changes!
“Mom, Brother, if you wish for me to exact revenge, or at least walk on a path that is different from that of all the rat people in the past tens of millions of years, then give me some enlightenment!”
Leaf prayed wholeheartedly. “A beam of light, a star, a flame, any unusual sign will do.
“If that’s the case, I’ll know that you haven’t died completely. The souls of the rat people can also turn into noble ancestral spirits and follow me all the time, giving me endless strength.
“Help me, Mom, Brother. Please, help me!”
He repeated this sentence over and over again in his heart.
Still, he did not find any revelations or signs.
There was no warmth gushing out of his body like a hot spring.
On the contrary, the horns and war drums coming from outside Black-corner City became louder and more majestic.
Leaf opened his eyes and found that the light pouring in through the window had turned into a mysterious, dark blue color.
He leaned against the window, stood on his tiptoes, and looked out.
He saw that the beam of light pouring out of the Blood Hoof temple outside Black-corner City had expanded to three to five times its original thickness.
It was like a giant pillar that supported the entire world.
The majestic power took away the resistance of many rats. It made them bend their spines and knees to worship the ancestral spirits of the Blood Hoof Clan that had been enslaving them.
“The Blood Hoof Army’s oath ceremony is about to end.”
Leaf thought, “The totem armor created in this era of prosperity have been infused by the ancestral spirits, and a large number of powerful moves have been updated, making their wearers even more powerful. They are becoming more and more difficult for the rats to deal with.”
“Will a so-called miracle really come?
“If praying is useful, why would I need battle sabers, giant swords, meteor hammers, spiked maces, and totem armor, Reaper…”
Leaf turned around and realized that Meng Chao, who had made him pray sincerely, had fallen asleep!
The fellow was sleeping soundly. He was even snoring faintly, and there was a snot bubble in his left nostril that was constantly shaking.
Leaf resisted the urge to vomit blood and sat down again.
This time, he did not pray anymore.
Instead, he took a deep breath. His gaze was firm, and his mind was undistracted. He followed the method that Meng Chao had taught him to cultivate the glittering lines and arrowheads in his body.
At this point, he finally understood.
No matter whom he prayed to, it was useless.
In this world, no one would save him or save everyone for no reason.
A person had to rely on himself!
Leaf muttered to himself. His fingers were as straight as steel needles, poking at the acupoints where his spirit meridians intersected.
The spirit energy in his body started to circulate rapidly along the complicated, three-dimensional labyrinth-like spirit meridians.
It was his first time cultivating during such a serious situation.
In a trance, he entered the profound state of deep meditation that Meng Chao had once talked about.
It was as if he was immersed in a wonderful dream, forgetting the crisis before him, all his troubles, and the passage of time.
Only when the earth shook slightly in the distance did he wake up.
Leaf stretched and found himself to be… in an unprecedentedly wonderful state.
The scene in front of him became clearer, and he could hear the whispers in the distance.
Even with his palms supporting the ground and his fingers touching the tiny cracks on the floor, he could feel more information than before.
How should he put it? It was as if the past him was wrapped in a layer of wet and thin but extremely tough skin. The entire world that he sensed was shrouded in fog, and it was unclear.
At that moment, he had broken out of the cocoon and breathed in the freshest air in the real world.
“Something has exploded!”
Through the slight tremors felt by his feet, this thought immediately appeared in Leaf’s mind.
At first, he did not care.
He thought that the Blood Hoof Clan’s various large battle groups had already started their actual combat exercises outside Black-corner City.
There was no need to worry about the bottles and jars in the city. The totem warriors, who had been sullen for ten palm years, were finally able to unscrupulously display their destructive totem battle skills, giving off thunderous explosions.
However, the continuous explosions soon approached from afar, exploding like firecrackers in the entire Black-corner City, causing everyone to jump.
Even the extremely weak domestic rat soldiers, who were vomiting and having diarrhea, emitted a fearful and uneasy light with barely opened eyes.
“What’s going on?”
“Where was that explosion?”
“Is there a real battle drill outside the city?”
“A real battle drill? How could such a powerful series of explosions happen? Even the dwarfs’ cannons aren’t as powerful as this!”
It was too late to say anything. Soon, a thunderous sound was heard. A corner of the training camp’s roof was hit by a burning boulder, and half of the dome collapsed.
The rat militia ran away with their heads in their hands.
Many people were screaming in pain from the impact.
The rest were staring at the outside world in bewilderment through the holes in the roof and walls.
Before their eyes, the entire Black-corner City was exploding and burning.
Amid the deafening explosions, not a house, but a whole street soared into the sky.
It was like a flood dragon that had gone berserk was lurking beneath the street. First, it caused the entire street to rise up high. Then, it tore through the ground and spewed out incomparably intense flames. It carried a large amount of soil, gravel, and bricks as it flew into the air and burned fiercely. It also took the form of a meteor shower, dragging a long tail of flames as it shot toward the ground once again.
The explosion was so powerful that even houses weighing hundreds of tons were uprooted. When they fell heavily, they unwittingly smash the houses that were “lucky” enough not to be affected by the explosion into pieces!
In particular, the mansions of the clan warriors, the arenas, and the areas where the temples were gathered were “priority targets” of the serial explosions.
Many clan warriors, who had been stuck in Black-corner City and had not found the time to participate in the actual combat drill, as well as their clan rat soldiers, were standing right above the origin of the explosion. All of them were shattered into pieces in the earth-shaking explosion, leaving only a few charred remains.
Even the clan warriors who were still some distance away from the origin of the explosion were also blasted by its shockwave. As a result, blood spurt out wildly from their wounds. Some had broken tendons and bones while some were smashed by the debris that fell from the sky and burned fiercely. They were buried at the bottom of ruins that weighed hundreds of tons.
Just like that, the explosion, the flames, and the smoke that rose into the sky did not dissipate for a long time. The smoke and dust enveloped the entire Black-corner city. In the blink of an eye, the solemn Black-corner City from a moment ago had become a tragic scene that had been ravaged by the apocalypse.
Above the apocalypse, amid the rumbling explosion and rolling black smoke, incomparably dazzling fireworks blossomed.
The fireworks flickered and gradually gathered into a dazzling phantom that blotted out the sky and the sun.
It was a head full of big horns.
A rat man’s head.
“B-Big-horned Rat God!”
Among the rat militia soldiers who were deeply shocked by the explosion and could not think at all, no one knew who shouted first.
The shouting spread like a virus. Soon, all the rat militia soldiers, including a part of the domestic rat soldiers loyal to Brute Hammer, were shouting at the top of their lungs. “The Rat God! The Rat God’s miracle! The Rat God’s miracle has actually happened!”
Yes. If it was not a miracle, what kind of terrifying power could cause such a large-scale explosion in the entire Black-corner City?
It was akin to volcanic eruption, roaring thunder, torrential rain, and stormy waves. The power that could be attributed to heaven and earth was definitely not something a human being could resist.
The shattered faith of countless rat soldiers in the Big-horned Rat God was restored in an instant, and it became even more solid.
They knelt on the ground and wept bitterly. They begged the Big-horned Rat God to forgive their wavering and save them from this man-eating demon den.
Many of the rat soldiers who did not believe in the Big-horned Rat God and had served the military nobles for hundreds of years were also terrified and in a dilemma.
The advanced orcs’ tradition was to submit to the strong.
They were willing because the Blood Hoof Clan was extremely powerful, and they had been working like cattle for hundreds of years.
If the Rat God really existed and it was more powerful than the Blood Hoof Clan, what choice should they make?
For a time, although the rat people’s training camp in the Blood Skull Arena was not directly hit by the explosion.
However, the arena was still severely affected by the shock wave, and it fell into extreme restlessness as well as chaos.
Leaf stared at the burning sky with his mouth agape.
The flames and smoke licked the sky and had long covered the light pillar that shot out from the Blood Hoof temple.
Now, everyone was looking at the sky. Other than the whirlpool of raging flames, they could only see the extremely dazzling portrait of the Big-horned Rat God, which did not disappear for a long time.
However, Leaf was different from the other rat soldiers who worshiped the Rat God from the bottom of their hearts.
An absurd premonition appeared in the rat teenager’s heart.
He noticed that Meng Chao had woken up.
He was squinting and studying the illusion of the Rat God in the sky.
But there was no pious expression on his face.
Leaf stammered, “R-Reaper, could it be that you created such a world-shaking scene?”
“How is that possible?”
Meng Chao could not help but laugh. “You think too highly of me.”
“Then how did you know that this would definitely happen…”
“A miracle?”
“That’s right.”
Leaf nodded first before he shook his head vigorously and seriously said, “No, I don’t believe that this is really a miracle. This so-called miracle is just some kind of power, whose profound mysteries we haven’t discovered yet. As long as we study hard, we can gradually grasp its deep mysteries.
“By the way, Reaper, how did you know that such an earth-shaking upheaval would happen in Black-corner City today?
“If I’m not wrong, you deliberately poisoned the food to buy time until this moment and wait for the upheaval’s arrival, right?”
