Ascension Of The Lightning God - Chapter 75

“What do you mean?! A colony? You want to bring strangers to our home?!” Wong Bao exploded in anger, what she said was an alliance was just opening their doors to a new threat.

“Calm down Wong Bao We first need more information. For now, we are on the brink of excitation and shouting won’t help.” Responded Loki, his eyes were filled with doubt and it looks as if he was holding a hilt of a dagger, ready to lunch his attack.

“Explain.” Liu Yang said.

Mei was expecting this to happen; she knew that after such a massive war, it would be hard for them to trust others. But she will first extend an olive branch to them, a bloody one. “Do you know where the Demon King is? Is he with the army that is now marching towards here?” she asked with a cunning smile.

“No, five days ago we fought him, and both sides were severely wounded, he should be still recapturing from his wounds somewhere far away.” Liu Yang answered.

“Wait, you fought him and won? But how? None of you are strong enough.” Marcus knew quite a bit about the demon king, and with his strength, there shouldn’t be any chances for them to win!

“We all fought him at the same time and used a treasure to fight him back. That was his plan; he wanted us to use it. He destroyed it, and now we are defenseless. So, unless you have a huge army or a treasure that can kill him, there is nothing that will stop him anymore.” Chu Ai answered his question, and it made sense, all of them together may be able to scratch the Demon King, and with the help of a mighty treasure even hurt him.

“We don’t have a huge army or a powerful treasure. We have something better.” Mei said with a slight smile on her face; she looked as if she won the war already. “There is an army 150 km to the south from here. It will arrive here soon, and as a meeting gift I will give them to you.”

“Give us an enemy army? She is mad. General Xiao does something with your daughter.” Wong Bao spoke up.

“Let her finish, or I will make you wait.” Marcus said, while he started moving his energy and taking his hands out of the pickets, with a slight move of his powerful body, the air around him started to move like crazy. A small vortex of air was created around him by using only his muscles. And on his face was a cruel smile. He wanted to fight. He had no opponents other than Mai for four years.

“Don’t flex too much Marcus, I can handle it. Now, if you look to the south, you will soon be able to see a spectacle.” Mei said it while she was typing on her phone, she was now communicating with the W.S. Ares.

Rick was sitting on the deck, waiting for news, form the surface of the planet. He then received a confirmation from Mei that all is ok. But what he didn’t expect is for her to order a launch of the Orbit-Ground Rail Gun. They wanted to use it as their main weapon, but they have limited ammunition, making it a glass canon. Powerful, but short lived.

She wanted them to launch it at the army that is 150 km away from the capital city. She wanted to show them their power. At first, Rick wasn’t sure if they should start so soon, but there is no danger to them, and if this can help finalize the deal it will be worth it. So he put the order in place. “Load the Orbit-Ground Rail Gun, aim for target 4291, fire on my mark.” He then notified Mei to let him know when.

On the planet surface, Mei smiled and looked at the leaders of the human alliance. “Marcus take us up.” Marcus then took out Jrmungandr and made it a size of a bus. Everyone with amazement looked at the sword, and as Marcus used his power to move the sword up, Mei gave an order to fire. When they were high enough a spot in the sky showed up. At first like a shooting star, but as it came closer, it moved faster and faster, then it disappeared beyond the horizon. A huge blazing cloud of fire then appeared on the horizon, followed by a shockwave that made their bones screech. The fire kept rising, making a huge cloud that soon covered half of the sky.

“This is Our gift. An army of fallen.” Mei looked at the blazing fire in the distance; she knew that this was the beginning of a new era. And she was the one to shape it. “We eradicated the army that was marching here. So, for now, we are safe, but this is just the beginning, we will have to destroy all the gates, as well as kill all the enemies before we can say we won. And I’m offering you help in doing this.”

The five leaders were shocked, the destruction they are seeing was to powerful. With a word Mei was able to destroy an army that they would struggle to fight. Looking at the two, none of them was able to determine their real strength, or the strength of the people they want to bring here. But their means are powerful and ruthless.

“I think we can have a longer discussion about the alliance.” Liu Yang said. She was the one, to say the least, but seeing this opened her eyes; it was Marcus and Xiao Mei, the people that saved her. And Marcus was the one to casually give her the Unruly Wave Goddess cultivation technique.

They can’t take anything that Marcus and Xiao Mei say or does lightly.

But she believed that they are still, the same people that saved her years ago.
