"What? A King-level demon has descended?"
Even though the game's announcement had stated that this passage could accommodate King-level early-stage demons, they still clung to a glimmer of hope.
However, the current news completely shattered their illusions.
Da Jiang City.
This was a city located in a flat plain. There were no mountains over a hundred meters tall within hundreds of miles, and there had been no earthquakes here before the game merged with reality.
Many people believed that this city would not have a spatial passage, and even if it did, there wouldn't be many.
As expected, there were only two spatial passages appearing in this city. Compared to other cities near mountainous areas, there were very few.
By now, all the monsters that had appeared in these two spatial passages had been completely eliminated, and the passages had been closed.
Just when everyone thought the crisis had finally passed peacefully, something unexpected happened.
In the center of the city, a lake suddenly appeared without a sound.
The lake wasn't large, and even people with good eyesight could see the scenery on the opposite shore.
The soldiers guarding Da Jiang City reacted quickly and arrived at the edge of the lake, preparing for battle.
At first, not many people paid attention, thinking that this time, as before, the monsters that appeared would be easily defeated.
However, until the monsters appeared, everyone was dumbfounded.
The space distorted, and what appeared in their sight was not a strange-looking monster but a middle-aged man with a burly physique!
"A warrior?"
Seeing the middle-aged man, everyone was stunned.
Spatial passages weren't exclusive to monsters; human warriors could also pass through them.
The moment they saw the middle-aged man, everyone thought he was a human warrior.
However, in the next moment, they didn't think so anymore.
"Is this the world of extraterrestrial visitors?"
The middle-aged man surveyed the towering modern buildings around him, his eyes filled with wonder.
Then, he felt something and couldn't help but exclaim:
"Natural aura! Such a rich natural aura!"
"Hahaha, this world belongs to my demon clan!"
In this world, although he couldn't gain the recognition of the power of heaven and earth or break through to a higher level, he had a chance to restore his bloodline.
He had a chance to elevate his bloodline to the level of ancient demon clans.
By then, even if he returned to the Demon World, breaking through to the Emperor level might not be impossible!
The middle-aged man laughed loudly, and a terrifying aura emanated from him, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.
Hearing this, the faces of everyone changed drastically.
"Demon clan? He's from the demon clan!"
"Demon King! He's a shape-shifting Demon King!"
Finally, everyone realized, and they were all horrified.
Demon Kings, they had never encountered them, but everyone understood that they were definitely not an existence that current humans could contend with.
Everyone felt like they were in an ice cave and didn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, this Demon King wasn't interested in ordinary people.
Quickly calming down their excited emotions, the Demon King stared at the lake in front of him and the heavily armed soldiers and said:
"Humans, where are the rulers of this world?"
His goal was simple, to take control of the humans in this world!
...
"What? The Demon King is heading for Da Jing City?"
Da Jing City, in the command center.
The faces of the people changed again. They didn't need to guess; at this moment, they also knew what the Demon King wanted to do.
"At all costs, intercept him and try to lead him to Point One."
After a brief panic, everyone quickly calmed down.
Since they knew that King-level demons might appear, they had naturally prepared for the worst-case scenario a long time ago.
Throughout the country, they had set up five locations to deal with Demon Kings. These five locations were places where few people ventured, with a sparse population within a radius of a hundred miles. In order to deal with Demon Kings, the residents in these five locations had already been evacuated.
According to the plan, as soon as a King-level demon or an entity that couldn't be dealt with by conventional weapons appeared, they would select a nearby location according to the plan and lure the demon there.
And when the demon entered the designated location, they would naturally be met with powerful nuclear weapons.
Now that the Demon King had truly appeared, what they had to do was implement the plan that had been formulated earlier.
Orders were given.
State-of-the-art fighter jets quickly took off.
The news spread, and the entire Hua Country was shaken. Countless people were praying, hoping that this time they would succeed in killing the demon.
A few minutes later.
Several fighter jets were the first to force the Demon King to a stop in an area of mountains, and missiles were launched one after another.
"Is this world's weaponry? Interesting."
The middle-aged Demon King, wielding the power of heaven and earth, stood in mid-air and watched as the fighter jets quickly passed by in the sky. His eyes revealed a strange light.
The next moment, he took a step and instantly appeared next to one of the fighter jets.
The personnel piloting the fighter jet hadn't reacted yet, but they suddenly saw the middle-aged man throwing a punch at their aircraft out of the corner of their eye.
Boom!
The power of heaven and earth converged in the middle-aged man's fist, and a tremendous force fell like a meteor, heavily slamming into the fighter jet.
With a deafening roar and a burst of flames, the fighter jet turned into a fireball in the sky.
With just a simple punch, the fighter jet was easily destroyed.
"Oh no, this is a Physique System demon!"
In the distance, some players saw this scene and their hearts sank to the bottom.
Among the three power systems, if there was one system of demons that was the most difficult to deal with, it was undoubtedly the Physique System.
The Physique System demons had incredibly strong physical bodies, like humanoid combat machines. Not only were they powerful, but they were also difficult to kill, much more challenging than the demons of the Magic System.
Human hot weapons were even ineffective against them, and their defenses were almost impenetrable.
The previous Profound-level demons were a perfect example.
"King-level demons can harness the power of heaven and earth, keep your distance, pull up, all aircraft, pull up!"
Taking the first fighter as an example, the other aircraft quickly responded, urgently ascending to several thousand meters high, and launched missiles from high altitude to intercept the Demon King.
This move was quite effective.
Watching the aircraft thousands of meters away from the ground, the middle-aged Demon King furrowed his brow slightly.
After all, he was not a native of this world and couldn't gain the recognition of the power of heaven and earth here. Even if he could barely control the power of heaven and earth, he couldn't truly fly in the sky or operate at several thousand meters in high altitude.
"Hmph, I'll spare you for now!"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, ignoring the aircraft and continued towards the direction of Da Jing City.
In his view, controlling the rulers of this country was the top priority.
Seeing this scene, the people in the command center quickly issued orders:
"Use drones! Use drones to lure him away."
One after another, ready-made drones took off urgently. Their task was to lead the middle-aged Demon King to the designated location, even if it meant being destroyed.
This move was also very effective.
Seeing the drones flying hundreds of meters above their heads, the middle-aged Demon King, who had just been frustrated, pursued the drones and intended to blast them.
"Boom..."
Flames soared, and without any surprises, a drone was blasted.
This was just the beginning.
One drone after another flew in, and at the cost of being blasted, they led the middle-aged Demon King to Point One.
And the middle-aged Demon King didn't seem to be annoyed by these drones, or perhaps in his view, the strength of the humans in this world couldn't pose a threat to him. He gradually moved towards the designated location without realizing the problem.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and everything seemed to be going according to plan.
"King-level demon appeared?"
"And it's a Physique System demon."
On Mount Song.
Suna looked at the information on the forum, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"I wonder if I can kill a King-level demon with my current physique without using racial talents."
Suna wasn't too worried. If it was a King-level mid-stage demon, he might still be a bit cautious.
But the opponent was only at the King-level early stage. Even without cultivating the Great Sun Golden Body Sutra, he could still kill it with various means.
Now that he had practiced the Great Sun Golden Body Sutra, he wanted to try how far he could go using only the power of the Physique System.
Posts on the forum continued to be posted, and real-time updates on the Demon King's movements were quickly refreshing. Many people even started live streaming.
Finally, after more than ten minutes.
After losing over a hundred drones, the Demon King was successfully lured to Point One!
"Fire!"
With a command, nuclear weapons placed not far from Point One, carried by hypersonic missiles, streaked across the sky and struck directly at the middle-aged Demon King.
One launch, a total of five nuclear warheads!
"Huh?"
In the night sky, as he watched the rapidly approaching flames, the middle-aged Demon King frowned at first, then his expression changed.
"Not good!"
Danger!
As a Demon King, his intuition for danger was extremely sensitive. The moment he saw the missiles, the middle-aged Demon King realized the problem.
Without thinking too much, he took a step and his figure disappeared instantly.
"Boom... Boom..."
The first nuclear warhead fell, and a mushroom cloud rose instantly.
The next four followed.
To prevent the demon from escaping the attack site, the five nuclear warheads detonated at five different points, and the distance between the points was calculated well, greatly increasing their destructive power.
The power of the nuclear explosion was earth-shattering.
Even though it was dozens of kilometers away, people could still feel the strong tremors in the earth.
"Did it work?"
"He must be dead, five nuclear bombs, even if God himself came, he would kneel!"
"These five nuclear bombs are all high-yield nuclear bombs, enough to turn a city into ruins. If he can survive this, it would be too unbelievable."
Staring at the towering mushroom cloud, at this moment, everyone held their breath, waiting for the final result.
However, before the mushroom cloud completely dissipated, a deafening roar sounded.
"Damn it! You ants should all die!"
A roar full of anger and killing intent resounded, and a figure soared into the sky.
It was the middle-aged Demon King!
At this moment, the middle-aged Demon King looked a bit disheveled, with a grimy face, but he didn't even look seriously injured.
"This... is he unharmed?"
"He wasn't in the center of the nuclear blast! He avoided most of the damage from the nuclear explosion!"
Everyone was shocked, and some people instantly realized the problem from the place where the middle-aged Demon King had appeared.
However, now was not the time to think about these things.
Without thinking, everyone turned and ran, afraid of becoming the target of the Demon King's anger.
The middle-aged man's gaze was ice-cold, his face twisted, and as he watched the rising mushroom cloud, a hint of lingering fear flashed in his eyes.
He couldn't have imagined that a world composed of ordinary people would possess such terrifying weapons!
"You all deserve to die!"
Killing intent filled the middle-aged man's eyes, and in the next moment, he headed straight north.
He remembered that there was a human city in that direction when he arrived, and he wanted to vent his anger on that city.
"Oh no! He's heading towards Yuanling City!"
As they watched the direction the middle-aged Demon King was heading, the faces of the people changed again.
Yuanling City.
It was only over a hundred kilometers away from Point One.
But it was the largest city nearby, with a permanent population of seven to eight million.
What would happen if a raging Demon King entered such a city?
There was no need to think, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the people of that city.
"Did we fail?"
On Mount Song, Suna looked at the forum posts and wasn't surprised.
He was more aware than anyone of the strength of Demon Kings and demons.
Nuclear weapons had tremendous destructive power, both in terms of the heat they generated and the shockwaves they produced, which were beyond imagination.
Such weapons could make even kings kneel if they were used against stationary targets.
However, the attack range of these weapons was limited. For humans, the shockwave from the nuclear explosion alone might be lethal, but for a Demon King, as long as they weren't at the center of the attack, it wouldn't be a big deal.
With the abilities of a Demon King, it wasn't difficult to leave the central area of a nuclear explosion the moment it detonated.
Moreover, for speed-oriented Demon Kings, whether the attack range of nuclear weapons could cover them was still an unknown factor.
He himself was a good example of this.
He was confident that if a country used nuclear weapons against him, he could escape the range of the explosion the moment the nuclear bomb detonated, let alone a Physique System Demon King.
"It seems I have to take action this time."
Suna sighed and prepared to take action.
However, at that moment, a post on the forum made him pause.
"Yuanli City, a Demon King has appeared!"
A very short title, but enough to attract the attention of countless people.
"What? Another Demon King has appeared?"
"We're doomed this time! Humanity is really in trouble!"
"Not only here, I heard there are Demon Kings appearing overseas too, and they've already caused tens of thousands of deaths!"
...
Da Jing City, Command Center.
The news of the appearance of the second Demon King reached here first. Upon hearing this news, the faces of everyone turned extremely grim.
They hadn't even resolved one Demon King, and now another one had appeared. A sense of powerlessness spread among them all.
"What should we do now?"
Everyone fell silent, unsure how to answer this question.
At this moment, a middle-aged man thought of something and said, "This Demon King is not too far from Mount Song. Maybe we can lure him there."
"Are you suggesting..."
Upon hearing this, the others instantly understood the middle-aged man's meaning.
They had naturally heard about the incident on Mount Song where the "Buddha appeared."
They didn't believe in gods and Buddhas at all.
If this world really had gods and Buddhas, they wouldn't have been completely clueless.
"That was definitely not a manifestation of a Buddha. It should be the work of a player. Although we don't know how that player did it, it's definitely the work of a player, no doubt about it."
The others nodded, agreeing with this statement.
"The players who could possibly do this are probably Wang Nan, Zhang Yang, and that Lang Thirteen."
"Their strength is formidable, they have integrated ancient demon bloodlines, possess racial talents, and have incredible magical abilities. Maybe the phenomenon was caused by their magical abilities."
They were not ordinary people in the room; they possessed a wealth of information that ordinary people didn't know.
The situation had been urgent earlier, so they hadn't thought much about it. But now, looking back, they quickly analyzed the key points.
But the problem now was whether the person on Mount Song really had the ability to kill a Demon King.
