Chapter 267 Daybreak.
Chapter 267 Daybreak.
After all, not everyone could be like that powerhouse from the Zhang Family who forcibly blasted the invincible clone of Chen Miao perched upon the pillar to death. Dozens of top supernatural beings from the Zhang Family had already died or fled by this time.
Finally—
That ghastly howl filled with despair and unwillingness came from the giant bitch in the sky as she revived for the ninth time. In that moment, she seemed to desperately hope that someone like a Heavenly God would come to save her.
Unfortunately, there was no one!
Following her annihilation into a shower of blood once more, this time, she did not resurrect again.
The Chen Miao clones standing on the pillars likewise turned their guns immediately to continue blasting any living strength and structures around them.
Under the horrified gaze of countless people.
On every major leaderboard, the name of that Wolf Deity, whom everyone respectfully called the Female War Goddess, was fading away. Gradually vanishing from the lists, leaving no trace, her complete death was hereby confirmed—a monumental loss for the federation.
It was a disaster.
And a massive loss for the federation.
...
Dawn came quickly.
No matter the scale of disaster, the sun would always rise as scheduled, imparting its light equally upon everyone. But the sun was also indifferent, caring not whether those who bathed in its rays today would be alive tomorrow.
Nor did it care how many had perished on this planet during the night.
It simply existed.
No matter what happened, it remained constant.
And after that horrendous night, all of Chen Miao's clones had eventually died, marking the end of the calamity, but... Jingjiu City received news that they refused to disclose to the outside world: the number of clones they had killed only accounted for less than half of the total.
Just this half of the number.
It was only after they delayed until the column's effect wore off, making the clones vulnerable, that they surged forward and killed them. What's more, these clones even had revival abilities, requiring them to be killed twice to be completely eliminated.
The casualties... were incalculable.
The other half of the clones died from suicide. Some clones had used up all their means, expended all their Star Coins and bullets, and realizing they lacked any means of attack, they simply killed themselves.
Very decisively.
The Zhang Family's territory had completely become a wasteland, and if everything went as expected, not even a single weed would grow here for decades. The area had been nearly leveled by numerous missiles and bombs; the bedrock was even visible.
Let alone the buried ancestors of the Zhang Family.
They had already been reduced to dust.
Unless the Zhang Family buried their ancestors' bones in the bedrock, it was certain that there would be no remains left.
The only consolation was,
That these clones, as long as they had targets to attack nearby, would not wander aimlessly. Jingjiu City also leveraged this rule to keep the clones' destructive radius as contained within the Zhang Family's territory as possible, preventing them from reaching Jingjiu City.
This was somewhat of a silver lining amidst the misfortune.
Every high-caliber top talent in Jingjiu City, even the death of one person, was an immense loss. As for the death of those supernatural beings, though equally painful, it was not unacceptable. After all, by choosing the path of a supernatural being, enjoying higher honor and profit than ordinary people, one should be aware that this day was fated to come.
Sooner or later.
Ninety percent of supernatural beings die unexpectedly, with almost none dying of natural old age.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the world's transcendentalization has only been around for a few decades; the first generation of supernatural beings has not yet reached the age of natural death. However, to be fair, according to statistics, the entire first generation of supernatural beings has died, with none surviving.
"The older generation often says that a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. With a sufficiently solid foundation, even in the worst of times, one wouldn't be left with nothing, yet how did the Zhang Family just disappear completely all of a sudden?"
"..."
Ke Gou stood emotionless, not speaking for a long while before finally whispering faintly, "No way to respond, Miao is awesome."
They had watched the video from the Zhang Family's territory last night.
Seventy thousand clone bodies of Miao, as if gone mad, unleashed full firepower causing chaos in the Zhang Family's territory. Although the video was only a brief clip, it was enough to shock them, with the air in the footage warping continuously under the high temperature.
They hadn't seen any air that wasn't distorted.
The whole scene looked no different from hell.
"Got to admit, in terms of judging who to follow, Qiu, you're more badass than me. I thought Miao was strong, but yesterday, I definitely wouldn't have dared to contradict Zhang Wanlin in front of him. How did you decide that it'd be better to offend Wanlin than Miao at that moment?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Qiu, with one hand behind his back, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his expression distant as he murmured, "Great wisdom often appears foolish."
How could he have anticipated such an outcome?
It was purely because he was unclear about Zhang Wanlin's identity at that moment. Had he known Wanlin's status, why would he have spoken up to contradict him? That would be inviting death.
But since Ke Gou finally admired him once, he had to keep up the act.
He really wanted to say something with high prestige but couldn't think of any, so he settled on 'great wisdom often appears foolish,' though that felt a bit low in prestige. But reversing the idiom made it feel much more impressive.
Let's see if he can guess what that means.
"Great wisdom... often appears foolish..."
After thinking for a long time with his head bowed, Ke Gou's eyes first showed confusion and then suddenly he had an epiphany, "I get it now, Qiu. You were playing the long game. It seems you had foreseen that between Miao and Wanlin, Miao was sure to win."
"And when Miao couldn't see and seemingly you were on the weaker side, you fearlessly defended Miao in front of Wanlin."
"As long as this news spreads."
"Your status in Miao's heart will undergo a fundamental change."
"That will be an excellent amulet!"
"So, Qiu, you had thought this far ahead. Brilliant plan, but quite risky. If it didn't work out, you would lose everything. Weren't you afraid of losing at that moment?"
Chi Qiu looked at Ke Gou expressionlessly, murmuring softly, "You have to be willing to accept the outcome of a bet."
"Qiu, you're amazing!"
Satisfying.
Chi Qiu tightened his tie and walked away, his hand still behind his back, and couldn't help but roar inwardly. He finally understood why Miao always acted so aloof. Apparently, putting on a dark, mysterious facade felt this good.
...
Meanwhile, Chen Miao had long since returned to his home base.
And he had also seen the trending topics.
"Jingjiu City has some skills indeed."
Hungry Monkey clicked his tongue in shock, "That was seventy thousand Miao's going all out with firepower, and they managed to contain the battle within the Zhang Family's territory without causing too much damage elsewhere?"
"Although we're not specifically in the business of destruction."
"But we're talking about seventy thousand Miao's here. To be taken down so easily, isn't it a bit humiliating?"
"It's normal."
Zhou Shen shook his head helplessly, "After all, clone bodies don't have their thoughts. They're like robots, easily manipulated, not even knowing basic tactics."
