The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1176: Terrible Plan

[Dark Universe Travel - King Ardent’s POV]

The Nethran race is rapidly making its way toward Earth with only one mission: to kill and take over the planet. Of course, getting revenge for their princess is also a factor in their plan.

However, knowing the world they are going after had just awakened, their happiness was on another level.

After all, a newly awakened world will birth some treasures, and, mostly, these treasures are things that cannot be bought with money.

So, if they manage to take over and make it their own, all those treasures will become theirs. However, if they prove stubborn, then killing them is only normal in this situation.

King Ardent is looking forward to all this.

So, the past month, he had never rested, waiting for when General Thorn would reach out. He had no idea why he hadn’t reached out yet, but he had complete trust in him and knew he would come through.

So, when a subordinate came calling, he was more than ready to hear what he had to say...

”My king, General Thorn is calling.”

On the screen, he answered the call, and he saw General Thorn standing atop a small mountain. This sight made him smile.

”General Thorn, it is a great pleasure to see you’ve made it to your destination. How are things over there?”

General Thorn smiled and answered, ”Everything is well, my king. I am just calling to let you know what we have discovered about our target and how far we have come in building the teleportation gate.”

”I see,” King Ardent smiled. ”Well, let me hear it then.”

General Thorn nodded and began speaking. ”So far, we have managed to infiltrate their ranks and discovered the strongest of them is only a level 2 Nirvana-stage healer.”

King Ardent raised his brow, doubt creeping across his face. The world that killed his daughter cannot be that weak, right...

General Thorn satisfied his curiosity and dispelled his questioning thoughts in his next words.

”The reason for this is due to the awakening that happened less than two years ago. The same one that the princess and the others fell into.

The majority of their powerhouses died, so they are now rebuilding their forces. However, this is not an open invitation for us to become arrogant and think we can easily take them on.”

King Ardent nodded, already aware that arrogance is what kills the gods. He was even sure his daughter was arrogant, and that was what probably caused her death.

So General Thorn’s words are true.

However, he couldn’t bring himself to wonder just why General Thorn said that.

”The reason why we should approach this much more carefully is that my team and I are working on discovering the source of a very terrifying attack array.

However, this array, from what I have felt, is strong enough to kill even a peak Nirvana-stage warrior, and there is no telling if you can withstand it.

The best thing now is to make sure we handle this much more meticulously. I am even afraid we may have to use our weapons if we want to win.

Of course, my team and I would try and find a way to deactivate it. However, it is always best if the engineers make it through and mount the weapons by the time you and everyone reach here.”

King Ardent nodded. ”Understood. I will send ten Nirvana-stage generals with the engineers once we make contact. Use them to find ways to disable the array.”

”Thank you, my king. I will be sure to get that done before you get here. Also, you must know that we have discovered three planets full of luminous crystals, so even if we have to erase the planets and their people, we wouldn’t be at a loss.

”I have set up base near one of them, so once you get here, we will work on excavating everything.”

”You have done well, General Thorn. I will be sure to reward you once I arrive.”

General Thorn nodded. After a few more words, the connection was cut.

King Ardent sighed, then a smile appeared on his face. ”This time, I will make it big and finally be able to reach the Empyrean stage and possibly step onto the path of immortality.”

His enthusiasm caused the scientist who handed him the device to smile.

”Congratulations on your success, my king.”

The poor king nodded with a smile and said, ”Tell the engineers to be ready. They will be moving out in a few days.”

”Okay, my king.” The man bowed and left the throne room.

Meanwhile, back on the planet that Yuying and Princess Eshira had prepared for the Nethrans, General Thorn looked at Yuying and Queenie and nodded.

”Nicely done. Now, we just have to prepare to kill ten Nirvana-stage experts.”

After charming General Thorn, they figured out that even if they were to die right now, their king wouldn’t be aware.

The only reason they became aware of their princess’s death was that she wore a very powerful transmitter that captured her death before it was destroyed.

So they can kill them and nothing will happen.

”You have done a good job, general. Now, make sure you alert the king once the teleportation gate is ready.”

”Okay, my lady.”

Queenie and Yuying went back to Earth to prepare while General Thorn worked on making sure the teleportation gate was built much faster. Some engineers from Earth are helping them get it done much faster.

The plan is simple.

Once the engineers come through, the C-class weapons will be rigged to explode at will. Naturally, Princess Eshira had already found a way to handle that.

So, one that is rigged—the explosion from that—and the runes already carved into the planet will do the job.

Of course, since the ships will also explode if they aren’t moved fast enough, many are bound to die.

It is a terrible plan, one that will make them lose five spaceships. However, it is also a terrible plan for the enemy.

An explosion of that magnitude will certainly kill a lot of them. However, that is not the only thing; Queenie also plans to ambush them when they are all fuzzy and weakened from the explosion.

It will be a space battle. However, if they play their cards right, it will be a quick and decisive battle.

Since they came with nefarious intentions, they can only blame themselves.

---

Days later, General Thorn informed them that the teleportation gate was ready. She gave the order to activate it.

Meanwhile, Asmodues, Nyxthar, Veylor, Lord Trench, and Skar were deployed to handle the Nirvana-stage warriors.

They, alongside General Thorn and the three other Nirvana-stage warriors Yuying had charmed, would be in charge of taking out the ten Nirvana-stage warriors.

This was already overkill, but since Asmodeus wants the bodies intact, he wants the job done as efficiently as possible.

He wants to make them his undead, and having them at peak condition will be more than enough.

As for the engineers, Yuying will charm them once the main targets have been neutralized. Then the rest will be to wait for the main legion to arrive.

Six days later, the teleportation gate hummed, and horned humans walked out.
