Liu Ming stepped through the portal, and the world around him dissolved into destruction. Countries and cities lay in ruins, a desolate landscape stretching as far as the eye could see. Grotesque monsters roamed the wasteland, their twisted bodies unnatural.
Some monsters had rotting flesh, while others possessed multiple human faces fused with animal bodies. Liu Ming navigated the twisted realm, searching for a mysterious figure. His eyes scanned the horizon, determination etched on his face.
A monstrous creature spotted Liu Ming, its eyes locking onto him with unsettling intensity. The creature's face contorted into a manic smile.
"A human," it hissed, its voice like a rusty gate.
The creature charged, its twisted body propelling itself with unnatural speed. Liu Ming drew his sword, its blade shimmering with a faint, otherworldly glow.
Liu Ming unleashed a devastating strike, cutting down the creature. As it fell, he cast a spell, summoning a blazing fire cannon.
"Fire Canon!" Liu Ming shouted, unleashing a torrent of flames that engulfed the surrounding monsters.
The creatures shrieked, their twisted bodies incinerated by the inferno. Liu Ming stood tall, his eyes burning with determination.
He slaughtered hundreds of monsters, but their numbers seemed endless. Liu Ming's eyes narrowed, his voice cold.
"Meteorite Shower."
A blazing meteorite hurtled towards the earth, striking the monsters with devastating force. Yet, the horde persisted.
Liu Ming vanished into a cloud of smoke. The monsters searched, confused.
"I thought we'd finally eat the humans," one growled.
A monster devoured another, and the group's savagery intensified.
Liu Ming emerged in an underground bunker, where he met Kael.
"Hey, man, you shouldn't be here," Kael warned.
"Why?" Liu Ming asked. "Who are you?"
"I'm Kael. Those monsters, the Zha'thik, invaded our planet 15 years ago. They blocked the portals, trapping us. Only seven of us escaped... and now we're all that's left."
Sakura, a young girl, entered the room, followed by Watami, Taro, and Jian Chen. Liu Ming sensed a strong aura from Jian Chen.
"Who is he?" Liu Ming asked Kael.
"Our leader," Kael replied. "He's led us since the beginning."
Kael introduced the others: "Sakura, kind and gentle; Watami, hot-headed but gentle; and Jian Chen, his opposite."
"I need to reach another planet," Liu Ming said.
The group exchanged skeptical glances.
"Impossible," Kael said.
Sakura spoke up. "There's a chance, but we must kill millions of Zha'thik to reach the portal my father created."
Liu Ming's eyes locked onto Sakura.
"Take me there."
As they prepared, Watami's hand subtly signaled to an unknown black dot
