Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

“God of War Lin, thank you for saving my life!”

Han Shuang stood before Lin Ye, expressing his gratitude.

Behind him, the war general-level martial artists, covered in wounds, grinned, filled with joy.

Everyone looked at Lin Ye with awe and gratitude.

This was the pinnacle of combat power in Great Xia!

Despite being advanced war generals, only one step away from the God of War level,

without the talent and opportunity, they might never reach the God of War level in their entire lives.

“Don't come to this place for training anymore. City 042 has a large number of monsters and is very dangerous.”

Lin Ye returned his war blade to its scabbard, looking around at the surrounding monster corpses with some reluctance.

“After you rest, you can take away the materials from those advanced commander-level beasts, but there's one condition…”

Han Shuang: “What condition?”

“……” He didn't answer.

Instead, he looked at the dozen or so behemoths in the distance, saying without turning his head, “At least they're advanced commander-level monster materials, they should sell for a good price!”

Lin Ye's eyes gleamed, as if he saw a mountain of gold.

Even though he was already a God of War, he still couldn't shake off his good habit of thrift.

“Okay!” Han Shuang nodded.

Whoosh!

In the next instant, Lin Ye's figure darted out, transforming into a blur as he rushed towards the corpses.

Swish swish swish!!!

Knives flew out from around Lin Ye again, beginning to dissect these commander-level beasts.

Puchi!

Puchi!

...

The sound of flesh being cut was incessant, the sharp S-grade knives easily tearing through the tough hides of these commander-level beasts, making the dissection extremely fast.

In about twenty minutes, Lin Ye completed the material dissection of all the advanced commander-level beasts, leaving behind piles of flesh and blood.

“Gulp!”

Seeing this, even Han Shuang, who was used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, looking at Lin Ye with shock.

“This… the efficiency is too astonishing!!”

Beside him, Li Dazhuang said tremblingly, his mouth open wide enough to swallow an egg.

The other team members were showing the same expression.

Each of them looked at Lin Ye as if he were a monster, without blinking.

“After you transport the materials back to the fortress, remember to give me half of the income!!”

Putting away his war blade, Lin Ye revealed a harmless smile.

Everyone: “……”

For a moment, they found it hard to connect this man with the face of a shrewd merchant to the God of War who had been unparalleled in killing just now.

“What are you looking at?” He raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Even close brothers settle accounts clearly, not to mention these commander-level beasts were killed by me, the materials were dissected by me, you're responsible for transporting them and still make a clean profit of 50%, how about… 90/10 split?”

Lin Ye joked with a smile.

“Okay, then let's split it 50/50!”

Han Shuang made the final decision.

After this battle, he had a new understanding of this God of War…

Outside the supermarket.

The sky had cleared, and the entire City 042 was shrouded in a rising, light mist.

Faint rays of light shone through the clouds, dyeing the thin mist, like sunlight veiled in a light gauze.

On the street, a group of people walked quickly forward through the uniquely shaped, ruined buildings.

“God of War Lin, is your spiritual power also at the God of War level?”

On the right, a strong man like an iron tower asked, looking at Lin Ye with a hint of anticipation.

“Yes, God of War level spiritual power!” Lin Ye nodded and said directly.

He didn't hide anything from Han Shuang.

There was a reason.

When Xu Qi contacted him, she had already made Han Shuang's identity clear.

The first God of War of the Southwest Fortress, Han Buyi's son, known as the 'Young Marshal' in the Southwest Army.

Moreover, they both belonged to the Great Xia military, and they would inevitably fight side by side in the future.

Lin Ye glanced over this group of fully armed war generals, taking in their expressions, and nodded inwardly.

Even though they were scarred, every martial artist still maintained a high level of morale.

This kind of iron-blooded will couldn't help but impress Lin Ye.

Suddenly, Lin Ye's heart stirred, and he asked:

“Han Shuang, you didn't come all the way from the Southwest Fortress to Shancheng City just to be surrounded, did you?”

Everyone: “……”

“Is there something attracting you… or is there some secret mission?” Lin Ye asked in confusion, he couldn't figure it out.

“To be honest, God of War Lin, we came here this time to investigate the gathering of lord-level monsters in City 042…”

Han Shuang told all the information he had, without missing a single detail.

At the same time, he also told some of his speculations truthfully.

Lin Ye listened very carefully during this process.

By the time Han Shuang finished speaking, his brows were already furrowed into a '川' shape, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

He had heard about City 042 before, but perhaps his authority was not enough at the time, so he only knew a little about it.

Now that he heard Han Shuang say this, he realized that there were indeed a few too many lord-level monsters in this city.

The number was abnormally high!

At this time, Lin Ye also thought of the Six-Life Cat Demon he encountered in that small town.

Looking at the God of War who was lost in thought, Han Shuang's eyes flickered.

He had already heard of this newly promoted young God of War.

The reason was simple.

He was not only the son of God of War Han Buyi, but also a moderately strong intermediate war general himself.

These two identities allowed him to receive a lot of news in a timely manner.

As he spoke, Han Shuang glanced at Lin Ye's slender figure, with deep yearning in his eyes.

An eighteen-year-old young God of War, single-handedly killing three lord-level monsters on the Jinyun battlefield, and the identity of a spiritual master… each item couldn't help but make this son of a God of War admire him.

And more importantly,

Lin Ye came from an ordinary family, and relied entirely on himself to step by step kill his way to God of War, entering the pinnacle of power in Great Xia.

Han Shuang had always admired people like him.

“What are you going to do after the investigation?” Lin Ye asked in a deep voice.

“Use a large-yield nuclear bomb to completely destroy these lord-level monsters along with the city!”

Han Shuang said decisively and crisply, without the slightest hesitation.

“……” After a brief silence, Lin Ye said in a deep voice: “What's the reason?”

As if his sore spot had been touched, Han Shuang's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he said in a low voice: “The number of lord-level monsters is increasing too fast, and the number of Gods of War in Great Xia is far from enough…”

Speaking of this, Han Shuang lowered his head slightly and did not continue.

In fact, Lin Ye already knew what was behind it.

With an insufficient number of Gods of War, they could only use martial artists and troops to consume and resist these lords.

Apart from that, there was only the method of using complete destruction…

For a time, the entire team was a bit dull.

After a long time,

Lin Ye patted Han Shuang on the shoulder and said, “It's not necessarily necessary to use this method of hurting the enemy one thousand and hurting yourself eight hundred. We may be able to use other means to eliminate the lord monsters here and eliminate the threat!”

“How do you say that?” Hearing this, Han Shuang suddenly raised his head, with a light in his eyes.

“Have you forgotten? I have a God of War-level spiritual power?” Lin Ye winked at Han Shuang.

The latter immediately understood.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding in silence.

Along the way, Lin Ye chatted casually with this young marshal of the Southwest Army.

Perhaps because they were of similar age and were both frequent visitors to the wilderness, the two chatted very congenially.

As the group went deeper, the beast hordes they encountered became more and more dense.

Groups of commander-level monsters pounced from all directions, wanting to enjoy the delicious human flesh and blood.

However, what awaited them

were knives flashing with cold light.

Whether it was a primary beast soldier or an advanced beast commander, they would die upon contact.

Lin Ye's ten knives hovered around the team, ready to kill any monsters that suddenly broke in.

Along the way, Han Shuang had already paved a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood behind him.

Tens of thousands of various monsters lay dead on both sides of the street, blood flowing like a river.

The increasingly strong bloody smell dissipated with the wind…

Suddenly, Lin Ye stopped.

The anomaly that occurred in the sea of consciousness attracted his attention.

Sinking his mind inward, he found that the scarlet giant tower had grown a bit larger again.

Lin Ye couldn't help but think of how it had been spontaneously and continuously absorbing cosmic energy and transforming it into spiritual power these past few days.

With a thought, he directly pulled up the panel—
