Chapter 1438: Destruction and Conclusion

That's……

What……

Ghost thing?!!!

The appearance and crash of the snow mountain were too sudden; the earth-descended peoples staring up in stunned silence only had time to form this thought before the incomprehensibly vast snow mountain above them filled everyone's vision.

"Block it quickly!"

Accompanied by a furious shout mixing shock and anger, the short, stout man named "Blood" among the earth-tribe chieftains suddenly crouched, countless thick black-blue veins like blood vessels linking him to the earth, and immediately the entire land twisted and flipped, actively swallowing all earth-descended peoples.

Meanwhile, the remaining tall, thin old man and black-haired woman—one swelled and expanded into an empty, hollow bone-white skeleton, the other losing human form, spreading like a fungal mat along the skeleton, covering it in layers of dull, thick flesh.

Boom!!!

The deafening collision sound, impossible to describe in words, echoed back and forth in the immense cavity deep within the earth's core. Facing Li Ang's violently crashing snow mountain, the giant hastily formed from 【Bone】 and 【Flesh】 was smashed to its knees on the spot.

Even with numerous small bones torn and shattered, scattered broken stone fragments everywhere, looking quite miserable, the entire body ultimately did not scatter, barely withstanding this blow.

Huff……

After unconsciously exhaling, the two earth-tribe chieftains widened the earth's core cavity again, struggling to lift the snow mountain from above, while the short, stout man had already completed his preparations, vast cyan-black "blood vessels" binding the earth-descended peoples, rapidly spreading along the gaps between 【Bone】 and 【Flesh】.

And as 【Blood】 took its place, the earthen-yellow colossus gathered from the three finally took on a vague human shape.

Even though this massive body still lacked hair, skin, organs, and eyes, ears, nose, tongue, its current form far from complete, yet the vast and heavy feeling already possessed a terrifying majesty enough to make hearts leap.

……

Seems I struck a bit too lightly.

After squinting at the situation below, Li Ang first furrowed his brow, then actively extended his will, locking onto other snow mountains within the Northern Kingdom's borders, and reactivated the effect of 【The Man Behind the Queen·Off-White】.

One, two…… five, six…… nine, ten!

Under the shocked gazes of the three chieftains and earth-descended peoples, ten snow mountains, each volume no less than the previous, and even greater, penetrated the earth in a way they could not comprehend, lacking physical substance, like meteors crashing again toward the earth's core!

Too outrageous!

Gazing up at the terrifying attack ten times greater than before, even the most confident short, stout man couldn't help but turn pale, his eyes showing deep horror.

He had never imagined that, as the pinnacle of all earth-descended peoples, blessed by the earth as its favored child, he would face such violent bombardment from the "earth" itself!

"Move quickly!"

After feeling the confusion and fear of his people through the 【Earthly Shell】 that bound all earth-descended peoples together, the remorseful black-haired woman shouted hoarsely:

"We are the earth's children! As long as we actively meet it, the snow mountain cannot kill us!" Yes! We still have the earth's blessing!

Hearing the black-haired woman's hoarse reminder, the earth-descended peoples whose spirits had been seized by the snow mountain finally awoke from great fear, began to exert force in unison, and actually charged forward against the falling snow mountains.

This 【Earthly Shell】 formed by the convergence of 【Bone】, 【Flesh】, and 【Blood】 is the incarnation of the entire earth! As long as she stands upon the earth, she can endlessly repair and endlessly revive, and those snow mountains are also part of the earth!

Earth-descended peoples will absolutely not die upon the earth!

Under Li Ang's astonished gaze, the earthen-yellow giant, about the size of half a snow mountain, roared and leapt up, having its bones broken and tendons snapped by the first falling snow mountain, but immediately repaired its limbs, roaring as it braced against the second, third, and fourth snow mountains.

Even though, due to size and mass disparity, the earthen-yellow giant was blasted apart by the first falling snow mountain, then ground to pieces by the later falling ones.

Yet miraculously, it did not completely perish, constantly reorganizing and reviving at high speed, even beginning to reverse-consume the snow mountains Li Ang crashed down, extracting earthly power to rapidly strengthen itself, its form swelling by multiple times!

You humans are merely passersby; only we earth-descended peoples are the true masters of this land!

After swallowing the ten snow mountains Li Ang "sent," feeling the unprecedented power in their grasp, the earth-descended peoples forming the 【Earthly Shell】 instantly could not help but rejoice, then all lifted their heads to look upward.

That black-haired, black-eyed human is indeed terrifying, capable of crushing ten snow mountains in one breath—if placed elsewhere, could instantly destroy a small nation.

But what he now faces is the earth's favored child! We will not only not die in his bombardment, but can even reverse-absorb the snow mountains he crashes down, thus becoming…… more……

Gazing at Li Ang's back, those mountain peaks just beginning to emerge from nothing, all earth-descended peoples looking up, suddenly opened their mouths in unison, their eyes—slightly larger than humans'—already unconsciously overflowing with despair.

One peak, two…… ten, twenty…… ninety! One hundred! Exactly one hundred seventeen snow-capped peaks, inverted with summits pointing downward, suspended above, raining down like drops.

And atop those one hundred seventeen peaks, there is yet another hexagonal mountain range, with edge length spanning hundreds of kilometers, larger than all peaks combined, slowly and irresistibly sinking toward the earth's core!

……

It's over…… everything is over……

Gazing at the 【Earthly Shell】 that barely held until the thirty-ninth snow mountain before being utterly torn apart, watching compatriots die and revive repeatedly under the relentless crushing of snow mountain after snow mountain.

Hearing them one second crushed into powder, the next revived by the earth's blessing only to be crushed again to death while screaming, the mother of the female cleaner couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, then painfully closed her eyes.

It seems today is the final end for all earth-descended peoples.

In the future I saw, that hexagonal snow mountain straddling the Northern Kingdom's ice plains, dividing the two great kingdoms, will ultimately be thrown whole by that man into the earth's core, simultaneously filling half the core and sealing all earth-descended peoples who left the Stone Marrow Realm.

And after losing this anchor point of the earth's core, the Stone Marrow Realm dependent on it will also be utterly smashed from the present world by him, shattering in the impact into dozens of large and small fragments, drifting apart with spatial turbulence.

Even though I, due to being the mother of Mei Li, will not be killed alongside him, I will lose all my kin, becoming the sole and last earth-descended person in the world, this race's final tear……

Recalling that bleak and desperate end, the mother of the female cleaner couldn't help but break free from the chair binding her, then lunged past those deliberately avoiding disaster.

Rather than become that pitiful last one, let everything end now!
