Chapter 222 Reincarnation of Failure (Part One)
The Divine Races' counterattack.
It was far quicker than anyone had imagined.
Just two hours after repelling the Allied Armies of Various Races and slaying two enforcers of the Komodo Divine Clan, the "A-Level Squadron" led by the "True God" tore through the space above the human capital city, appearing within the sight of all humanity.
No need for changes in the sky's backdrop.
And no need for background music to set the mood.
The thirty-three A-Level supreme beings of the Komodo Divine Clan, merely hovering in place, their emanating pressure causing the Transcendents within the capital to tremble in spirit, their feet icy cold.
As for the tens of millions of ordinary people, they were barely affected.
After all, being too weak, like an ant, it is hard to comprehend what a bird of prey is…
The "sky" representing the judge and the "earth" representing the bearer thus faced each other in silence for a long while.
Until the spatial rift torn open by the gods slowly healed.
A certain Komodo lizard person then took a step out of the void, overlooking the entire city from on high.
In its incredibly fluent and vigorous human language, it declared loudly, "Human Great Emperor, you have innocently slaughtered my Divine Clan's enforcers. You regard the Komodo Divine Clan and the Enforcer City as nothing, your sins are heavy, and death a thousand times would not atone for them. Thus, I invoke the first law of the Various Races, by the command of my Komodo Divine Clan, I pronounce human civilization, henceforth extinct."
The clear words reverberated against the wind to all directions.
The magnitude of the soundwave and the distance it traveled.
Not only did it deafen the humans within the capital city.
Even cities thousands of miles away could hear it clearly.
Inside Holy Temple Square, the Transcendents who were still dealing with the "aftermath" and standing by on the spot all turned their heads to look at the old man with the white beard in front of the purple archway, who was regulating his breath.
"Sir, they've come," said the Alliance Manager, his face extremely ugly from the aftermath of the battle, to the white-bearded man.
To be brutally honest.
Other than at the very beginning, when the Human Great Emperor on his own steamrolled the entire Allied Armies of Various Races, no other maneuvers were comprehensible at all.
'Does the Great Emperor really believe, with his individual strength, he can resist the crushing might of the entire Various Races?'
"Also, having killed two Divine Enforcers, and clearly set ourselves against the Divine Races, why chase away the Grand Enforcer who was obviously opposed to the Divine Races?"
"Is it because he thought the presence of such a master would get in the way of his grandstanding?"
In his head, huge waves of doubt surged tumultuously.
The Alliance Manager's emotions had already descended into chaos...
"They arrived quickly," he sighed deeply, opening his eyes. He struggled against the heavy atmosphere coming from the distant sky, piling up like mountains, as he stood upright, his posture as level as flying.
He took a deep breath for a moment.
And responded loudly, "Great Komodo Divine Clan, by descending upon our human territory, what is your purpose?"
"I've come to pronounce the civilization of humanity extinct," the lizard person repeated coldly.
"...Pursuant to the rules of the City of Law of Various Races, I, for humanity, request a review of the City of Law's judgment."
"The review is invalid," the lizard person said expressionlessly.
"Whether the review is invalid requires the personal judgment of the Grand Enforcer," the old man with the white beard retorted neither humbly nor arrogantly. "The Divine Races' overstepping the authority of the Grand Enforcer can be seen as a violation of the law."
"The Grand Enforcer of the City of Law is not present, according to the law enforcement rules of the Various Races, it is fully executed by my Divine Clan," said the lizard person, its wide mouth opening in a chilling arc. "The request for review of humanity's judgment is invalid."
"Humanity refuses to accept this," the white-bearded man clenched his fist.
Of course, he also knew humanity's refusal meant nothing.
The world is controlled by those with the mightiest fists.
But since the laws governing the Various Races were established under the leadership of the Divine Races, to bicker within the rules was better than nothing.
It would be good if it could buy the "Great Emperor" a few more minutes.
'Why is that damned Great Emperor always in seclusion?' The Alliance Manager muttered in his heart, a rebellious sentiment gradually rising...
Meanwhile, the woman in the body-hugging suit had already calmly taken out paper and pen, writing her will.
Although she did not know whom to leave it to after the fall of their nation and extinction of their species.
"Stop with the nonsense," said the lizard person in the front, taking off its hat and revealing the title of [Supreme Leader of the Various Races], as its vertical pupils swept across the crowd. "Where is that Human Great Emperor?"
"Where is the Human Great Emperor?" his subordinate translated synchronously. "Let him come out and represent his civilization in submitting to punishment."
The white-bearded old man turned around, glancing at the archway leading to the Holy Temple behind him, and after a long silence, said, "The Great Emperor has not yet left the palace."
"True God," the lizard person's subordinate bowed respectfully to the "Supreme Leader of the Various Races": "The Human Great Emperor is relieving himself."
"What is relieving oneself?"
"Your Eminence, True God, it means going to the toilet. You may understand it as the act of human excretion," replied the A-Level supreme being from the Komodo Divine Clan, evidently quite familiar with human culture.
He had delved into the ancient texts.
Supreme Leader of the Various Races: "..."
Without a word, it looked at the many humans below, then turned its head to look at its subordinate, thinking for a good half a minute before asking in a hoarse voice, "So you're saying, my Divine Enforcer Squad has traveled countless miles to this remote place. Instead of coming to greet us and accept death, the human leader is off defecating on his own?"
"That's correct."
"Thirty-three supreme A-Level beings are waiting here while the Human Great Emperor relieves himself?"
"That's correct."
"Destroy them all."
"Is that so… wait, not so, Sole True God. The strength of the Human Great Emperor is not to be underestimated; he may well be at the 'Heroic' level, perhaps already in hiding due to guilt. If we destroy human civilization now and let the Human Great Emperor join a rebellion, it would create endless troubles. Our mission this time is also to ensure the so-called Great Emperor is killed first, then the cleansing of humanity can proceed. At least… we should temporarily take all humanity hostage as bait."
"You mean we should wait until he's finished?"
"Yes, True God, if he is still within human territory."
"..."
"..."
"(...Let it go.)"
"(Yes.)"
The lizard people with complex expressions: "..."
After the exchange, the Komodo behind the heads of the myriad races resolutely looked towards the white-bearded man and announced loudly, "Let the human emperor go. Hurry up and go!"
The white-bearded old man: "?"
All the humans in the city: "??"
"What happened?" In the midst of the bewildered crowd in the square, the long-haired man asked his plump neighbor, "...Hey? Where is everyone? Fatty? Hello?!"
Together with the plump neighbor, Li Yao had disappeared...
Just like that.
On this day, when human civilization suffered great devastation.
On this day, when the Komodo Divine Clan sent an unprecedented enforcement squad.
On this day, decisive for the fates of countless races in the world.
All "creatures" were waiting.
Waiting for the bowel movement of the human emperor—Chen Yu (can't you just crap, pee, or fart without making such a fuss?).
Ten minutes.
Twenty minutes.
Half an hour...
About forty-five minutes later.
As the sun began its descent, casting slanted beams, the "constipated" human emperor made his appearance at last.
Against the brilliant sunlight.
First the left foot.
Then the right foot.
Moving his body.
Stepping over the barrier.
Proud and upright, he appeared directly under the purple arch, calmly looking up at the thirty-three figures in the distant clouds.
His piercing gaze seemed to shoot straight into the heavens!
Making them cry for their fathers, wailing in agony...
"You lot really know how to drag things out."
Those were the first words the human emperor spoke upon showing up.
Chen Yu, who had been hiding inside the Holy Temple hoping to wait for the "Divine Clan" to make a move before bounding out to turn the tides, was now very angry.
After the arrival of the Divine Clan, he had predicted at least twenty different ways the enemy could attack.
But he never expected these lizards to dawdle so much...
"Your Majesty," the white-bearded old man's lips moved slightly, using his superpower to send his words directly into Chen Yu's ear, "What do we do now? Do I need to send my apprentice to bring back the Great Law Enforcer? If you can hold on, we might still make it."
"No need. If I needed it, I wouldn't have let them go just now. This is the rise of the human race, we don't need any external help. Besides..." Chen's eyes were as electric as he glanced toward the far west, "That Great Law Enforcer never left."
Hearing this, the white-bearded man's pupils constricted slightly, and after a brief thought, he closed his mouth and said no more.
He didn't quite understand the relationship between the Divine Clan and the Great Law Enforcer.
He also didn't comprehend the current position of human civilization in relation to the two.
Based on the information revealed by Chen Yu, he only knew that everything was under the "Emperor's" control.
At this moment, the struggle was beyond his comprehension and participation.
"Since you're not taking action and voluntarily giving up the opportunity, then I'll make the first move." Controlling gravity, he ascended slowly into the sky. Chen Yu stopped at a height just above that of the lizards, spread his arms, charged his Dantian, took a deep breath, "Let the tales of myriad races end today."
The Various Divine Races: "..."

Chen Yu: "The mountainside is too crowded for us humans, we want to see the top of the mountain."
The Various Divine Races: "..."
Chen Yu: "At night, with my breath, I ignite the stars!"
The Various Divine Races: "..."
Chen Yu: "In daylight, with my power, I devour the universe!"
"Boom——"
Finally, after a few lines of stalling, Chen Yu activated his superpower, "Raging Flames Fury," accumulating enough rage to unleash an A+ level ultimate strength!
A halo of blue-white flames blazed around him!
Looking up at the sky.
He seemed to see the figure of a man in a red robe dissipating with the clouds.
Below.
Many human Transcendents looked up at Chen Yu with complex expressions on their faces.
In truth, by now, they didn't really understand what had happened.
They were like animals in a "small boat," enduring the battering of the raging waves, helplessly drifting with the current.
But one thing most people understood.
Their human emperor was no ordinary man!
Even facing death, he could still keep nagging endlessly.
