I called ground warriors as these zombies didn’t know how to fly. They could just blink and stay in midair for a few moments before blinking again. So if they got interrupted in the process of jumping, they’d fall to the ground.

And like this, my ground warriors would come useful, helping my dragons to keep these zombies busy for the next few minutes.

As for that red beam, I was sure my shield would manage to block it for the time being. Once I got myself out of here, I’d add more energy crystals and gems into the furnace heart of my chariot, replenishing the lost energy.

I have to admit… Such a combo attack was indeed fierce and deadly. It seemed the angels spent lots of time and effort this time to kill me.

But who said I’d fall for this easily?

“Now!” without waiting for my chariot to stabilise, I launched a pulse wave attack all around. I didn’t aim at anything in particular, but my instincts told me that it was going to be risky if I didn’t use it.

Something was approaching me, and when I used this move, I felt like something got slammed by it. The pleasant surprise that came next was for my chariot to greatly stabilise.

The world around me became much clearer and the spinning became slower. If I knew that using this would help then I’d have used it a long time ago.

Looking around I saw one of the big zombies thrown in the air. It looked as if it tried to sneakily attack me, trying its best to stop my chariot from stabilising.

If it succeeded, then I’d be trapped here for much longer. And with that uneasy feeling I got before, I knew this was going to be repeated for a long time.

Without wasting any more time I controlled my chariot and moved in a zigzag route. As my chariot stabilised more and more, I was able to see the general situation of the ongoing battle.

My summoned warriors were indeed facing lots of pressure. The ones on the ground weren’t only fighting one grand zombie that was hard to deal with, but an endless stream of zombies that came from everywhere.

As for the second one, it seemed to escape the ground trap set by my warriors and ended up fighting against my dragons.

But as my dragons were small in number and size, they didn’t pose much of a threat to it. That was the reason why it dared to come at me just now.

Looking at the sky, that red beam was starting to fade away. It lasted for a few minutes, and it didn’t cause any harm to me but wearing down my chariot’s defence energy reserve for a little bit.

However if I got trapped in that spinning sh*t like before, then more beams would rain down at me from high above.

Thinking about taking these weapons down wasn’t a good idea. After all, there were lots of defensive star weapons up there.

The star weapons up there couldn’t be touched, and the two zombies here were working together to suppress me. In brief, my current situation was indeed desperate.

I didn’t hurry to join the battle and instead I kept flying around. Since I came here, I didn’t get to see what progress the two grand zombies had in this place.

And when I finished my tour while escaping the repeated bombardment of the red beams from high above and the constant harassment of the grand zombie in the air, I got to know how bad this place was.

The hole at the previous basin was hundreds of metres in length, width, and depth. It was indeed a huge hole but it wasn’t enough to bring forth the inflamed zombie den to this world.

However this wasn’t the case here. It seemed the two zombies joined hands together long hours ago. The scale of this den was already miles in length and width, and around a mile in depth.

In brief… This den was already so close from getting finished. Just finishing up a den in such a small time was a feat I never imagined possible.

Dammit! This wasn’t just a normal den but one that was built by two grand zombies. It was going to be extremely bad if I left this den untouched like this.

Should I abandon this continent? If this den got completed, then this continent was already done for.

Just the effort taken for me to control this den alone would consume weeks. And I still couldn’t find a way to get rid of these two grand zombies yet.

In addition to the high grade zombies born in large numbers from this den, this continent’s fate was sealed and doomed to be lost.

After all the hard work I did, after all the grand fights I suffered, should I just accept such fate and cut my losses by abandoning this continent.

Weighing the pros and cons from it, I knew this wasn’t going to work in my favour either way. However, fighting to keep this continent was much better than simply abandoning it for now and trying to reclaim it for later.

Zombies couldn’t cross water or fly for now. However in the advanced versions of this calamity, and given time for these dens to develop, flying and aquatic zombies were destined to appear.

At this point, the same old threat that I got rid off by taking this continent would resurface again. So retreating and giving up such a continent might look like a strategic and beneficial move right now.

But in the long run, it was a disastrous call.

It was settled when I thought long ahead of this moment. Even if I had to suffer great losses right now, this den couldn’t be allowed to be completed.

Making up my mind, I looked coldly towards the two grand zombies.

“Thundering Might!” The first thing I did was to activate my pillar’s skill and use it to create a grand place protected by its shield.

I could summon tons of warriors, but without a proper way to protect these, the stars in the sky would get in work and kill them.

It was pointless to fight such an attrition war against such a deadly weapon. So by using my pillar’s shield, it was destined for me to give them some sort of protection.

Even if the star weapons managed to crack my shield, I’d easily summon another.

“Go forth…” I started next to roam the place inside and call out tons of my warriors, “kill every single zombie inside, don’t step outside,” I shouted repeatedly while moving around.

The zombie in the air tried to stop me, but in the end it failed. The star weapons started to shine one after another, raining deadly beams of attacks over my grand shield.

The shield was already covering an area of ten miles at least. Yet it was sturdy enough to sustain the damage sent at it from several star weapons.

In addition to that, another thing that I didn’t think about happened, bringing me another pleasant surprise.

The protective shield that kept annoying me vanished! These two zombies were now strangled inside, without much help from those star weapons high above.

It was time to take them down!

“Kill them,” I pointed at the two zombies before adding, “focus everything you got over these two and make sure they’d die!”

Even before my fallen gods would start working their magic, I summoned one hundred more. I could summon much more than this, but I didn’t.

After all, since the protection coming from high above was abruptly severed, the two grand zombies looked quite distressed and tried to flicker their way away using their blink abilities.

I was lucky that my grand shield was vast to begin with and their abilities to teleport were limited in terms of distance. Besides, the one at the ground was already entangled by lots of warriors on my side.

At first these warriors were having a hard time dealing with all this. However by the deployment of my warriors around, the pressure over the ones in the centre got much lessened.

So they started to fight hard against the big zombie in the ground, making it impossible for it to teleport away.

One was entangled by the ground warriors, and the other was having a hard time dealing with the deadly beams of my fallen gods.

With the one hundred additions of the gods, and providing them with many stat crystals at the spot, this dude was having the worst time of his life.

“Come on… little faster…” even if it was getting hit by such deadly beams it was still getting closer to the edge of my shield. It was clear that this dude was trading such injuries for life.

It was indeed smart, and that didn’t align with what I knew about the zombies.

Zombies were dumb creatures, driven mad by their hunger and thirst for blood and flesh of the living.

However these grand zombies proved me wrong. Was what I learnt before about the zombies and their origin right? Was there a possibility for a true zombie race to be buried under the dens?

Were they able to control this disaster? Looking at the smart actions of these grand zombies made me believe more in this impossible scenario.

However right now it was important for me to clear these two unstable factors from the entire board. Then I’d worry later about the authenticity of what I learnt so far about zombies.
