A full 12 hours, from dusk till dawn.

No one imagined that this catastrophe would last an entire night, until dawn, countless giant beasts still looming in the distance, seemingly heading towards the Imperial Capital.

At dawn, the rising morning sun shone upon the ruins, illuminating the ground covered with the corpses of giant beasts, these creatures once mighty and majestic, advancing towards the Imperial Capital under heavy artillery fire, now lie here in the most wretched form, torn to pieces, with tragic deaths.

The corpses filled the breaches in the city walls, dyeing the area in purplish-black.

At the very center of this Hell-like drawing, a Super Beast, resembling a wingless Giant Dragon, sat atop a mountain of corpse fragments.

The body of Super Beast Zero was covered in sticky blood plasma, its right hand severed at the root, the entire left arm drooping as if broken, the thick tail torn to shreds, and more terrifying were the countless scars all over its body, ferociously hideous.

Yet, even so, it stubbornly clenched a sword in its mouth, radiating endless kingly might, with eyes fierce, angry, and ferocious.

It stood alone in the ruins, surrounded by a throne built from bones, as if they were enshrining it.

The first ray of morning sunlight fell upon the beast covered in blood plasma and visceral fragments, sacred yet frenzied.

In the distance, people, who could only seek refuge in shelters, after overcoming their initial fear, came out and witnessed the scene of battle between those giant beasts, seeing that dragon-like monster adeptly slaying giant beasts with human Swordsmanship with ease, one after another.

From a handful of beasts besieging it, to dozens, to hundreds…

Someone counted personally, a total of 342 giant beasts were killed.

In the end, the City Defense Army's arsenal was depleted, the fighter jets ran out of aviation fuel, the only aids, the Celestial Thunder and those heroes, also shattered due to blocking dozens of giant beasts together.

Even Hercules, the hero who had defeated the Hydra, could only struggle arduously against dozens of besieging giant beasts and Super Beasts above Tier Four, forced to retreat to the Netherworld.

In the darkness, people could only hear the roars of the Super Beast and the dying wails of giant beasts, even though the light never appeared, it was still fighting.

Countless people prayed and worshipped from afar, nearly a billion people witnessed this Miracle and wept, realizing what exactly this Super Beast was protecting, what it was defending behind it.

And Super Beast Zero still sat atop that pile of corpses, holding the Savior Holy Sword in its mouth, staring fixedly into the distance.

Finally, at this moment, the true Super Beast appeared.

A gigantic Brain Monster emerged in the distance, alongside over a dozen giant beasts it could control.

Super Beast One, it finally appeared, like a backstage manipulator, looking at the now exhausted, like a flickering candle, Super Beast Zero.

Though occupied by scarce revenge, Super Beast One was so terrified of Zero's formidable strength that it absolutely dared not appear.

It had originally planned to appear in the second wave, to personally kill this senseless Super Beast, and then completely flatten the entire Imperial Capital. However, when five Second Generation Super Beasts besieging Zero were all killed, it instantly came to its senses.

How could there be such an overpowered existence among Super Beasts!

This was the only thought in its heart.

These full 12 hours were torturous for the people of the Imperial Capital and even more so for the avenging Super Beast One—it became numb eventually.

One-on-one, instantly killed.

Three-on-one, completely unable to win.

Five-on-one, struggled to maintain.

Fifty-on-one, dragged around like a dog walking…

Despair might have been the last feeling this Super Beast One's scant human wisdom brought it.

But, gods also get tired, after slaying 342 giant beasts, many of which were Second Generation Super Beasts, that "god" finally showed fatigue, sitting atop that pile of corpses, life like a flickering candle.

At this moment, it finally dared to confront this mad beastly slaughter machine, to face the wrath of a god!

However, it shockingly discovered that the god moved, turning towards it, furious and ferocious, finally just throwing that sword with its mouth fiercely.

Super Beast One was horrified to find that even from dozens of kilometers away, the moment the long sword was hurled, it turned into a rapidly spinning circular saw blade, a strike too familiar—the ruthless Super Beast used this circular blade to dismember countless giant beasts.

But by the time it realized this, it was too late, the Holy Sword Disc Blade in the blink of an eye sliced it open, then instantly exploded into dozens of splitting mini-disc blades, dissecting it completely, the last hastily arriving giant beasts sliced into chunks, the morning sun witnessing its final attack.

The sun rose, the battle was over.

Sulfur erupted from the body of Zero, under the sobbing prayers of countless people, it slowly collapsed to the ground, turning into a sulfur smoke engulfing the area.

"Quick, go save him!"

Unknown whose voice it was, people started advancing towards that direction.

The few operational military tanks hurried to the scene as well.

Xue Dili lay on the bloodstained ruins, looking at the sunrise, the light casting half his face in shadow and half in brightness. He was panting heavily, but a smile appeared on his lips.

It's light...

Suddenly he realized, the sunrise, it's truly beautiful...

He extended his hand, gently covering the side of his eyes, as if he just wanted to sleep deeply like this.

"Quick, quick, quick, over here, prepare the anesthetic, check the protective equipment again, the enemy we're facing is far more terrifying than the Giant Beast!"

A hurried voice rang out in the distance, accompanied by the sound of dense footsteps. A group of people quickly approached him, the dark gun barrels pointing at Xue Dili.

Then, a person who seemed to be in a high position raised a gun and came to the powerless Xue Dili, firing two shots at his body.

The silver bullets easily pierced through his legs, and Xue Dili remained motionless, as if dead.

"Prime Minister, we must hurry, the Parliament has already reacted." Someone seemed to whisper beside him.

"Then immediately inject the anesthetic strong enough to sedate a Giant Beast, we need to leave quickly."

A few people stood guard with their guns, while the rest lifted Xue Dili's arms and legs, placing him into a box filled with an unidentified liquid.

They hurriedly put him into an off-road vehicle, and the two cars sped away over the bloodstained ground, disappearing into the ruins.

No one expected that in such a desperate battlefield, a team had hidden within the ruins for an entire night, just waiting for such an opportunity.

Only when the army tanks arrived from the safe zone did they realize that someone with a purpose had visited the center of the ruins, causing the Parliament to become enraged, determined to find those who acted at all costs.

However, at this moment, the black car arrived at a military fortress. Only then did the Prime Minister's clenched fist finally relax. This time, the plan to capture the Zero Super Beast was incredibly audacious, requiring world-class intelligence for a long time of planning, leaving no room for a single mistake.

And the ensuing world-shaking plan is the only choice to save this world.

Because the Super Beast King is about to awaken.

As one of the executors of the Super Beast King plan, the Prime Minister knew what kind of monster it was. Once it lost control completely, only another even more terrifying controllable monster could defeat it.

"Immediately prepare the experiment site, I need to conduct the experiment as soon as possible." The Prime Minister's face was serious as he promptly issued the order; he needed to get results in the shortest time to race against the awakening time of the Super Beast King.

"Understood!" Immediately, someone stepped forward, dressed in a white coat, binding Xue Dili tightly on the experiment table.

The Prime Minister turned around, his sharp eyes like those of a hawk.

"You've been planning this for a long time, haven't you? To act against Monarch Xediles I, the pioneer of the Magic Ring System, who can enable human Giant Beast Transformation, and seize the power of the Zero Super Beast from him?"

"We do not need an uncontrollable ultimate weapon, just like the Super Beast King."

"At the same time, we cannot rely solely on the benevolence of others to ensure our safety; we don't need to live miserably like ants, clinging to life. The power must be in our own hands."

"Humanity does not need a Savior."

"Begin the experiment!"

Xue Dili's body was manipulated on the experiment table, and next might be the injection of the Super Beast Serum, which needed to be done while standing to prevent it from rushing directly to the brain, leading to a complete berserk state. At the same time, the restraint straps must be tightened around the neck to the point where he could barely breathe.

Those conspirators, like a hidden band of jackals, are truly arrogant...

Holes appeared on Xue Dili's hands as he was manipulated on the experiment table, his feet fixed together, his hands spread apart, resembling a martyr's "cross".

The Saint suffered betrayal, and after the Last Supper, the sinner betrayed him and nailed him to the cross, enduring eternal martyrdom.

At this moment, Xue Dili was briefly lucid, a smile on his lips, as his fingers strained to point upward, slightly.

Everyone felt a sudden jolt in their hearts, as if something terrifying had occurred, but they didn't know that at this moment, Xue Dili activated "Divine Revelation" for the last time, and the World Consciousness finally responded.

The Saint's selfless sacrifice, the sinner's betrayal, the Last Supper, and the crucifixion...

All of this constructed a grand Divine Art ritual, completely covering the entire world, and this ritual's magnificence and response finally awakened the World Consciousness, which had been asleep.

At this moment, unknown to everyone in this research institute, Xue Dili had already left the body of "Monarch Joel Xiu", ascending high to Heaven, where he saw the World Consciousness.

It was an entity like a figure of light, surrounded by divine threads, and Xue Dili could not see its face, but he knew this was the World Consciousness, the existence he had painstakingly awakened through the creation of this colossal Divine Art.

"World Consciousness, I am here to negotiate." Xue Dili spoke, showing no sign of reverence.

"Let's make a gamble, the stake is, my life!"

Xue Dili boldly stared down the World Consciousness without a hint of respect, akin to the craziest gambler, wagering his last stake.
