God-Tier Extraction Talent: Reincarnated in a Game-like World! Chapter 611: A Favour [1]
Previously on God-Tier Extraction Talent: Reincarnated in a Game-like World!...
Looking toward the endlessly collapsing battlefield, Sophie’s already pale face was filled with disbelief. Even her voice trembled uncontrollably.
"Can... can a human... really possess this kind of power...?"
Because Sophie had never seen her father in action, Gabriel was by far the strongest person she knew. In fact, she was now beginning to think he couldn’t even stand against the King of the Valerian Kingdom.
At that very moment, the center of the battlefield had already become a colossal, bottomless crater.
Gabriel and the Ant King remained locked in a deadlock. Both unleashed every ounce of power within their bodies.
Rooooooooor!
The Ant King roared endlessly. The muscles across its body swelled violently as it attempted to crush the human before it through sheer overwhelming strength.
But no matter how much power it released...
Crimson Judgement remained as immovable as a mountain. It never retreated even a single inch.
Gabriel quietly stared at the Ant King only inches away.
A chilling smile slowly spread across his face.
At the same time, an aura several times more terrifying than before...
Finally began to awaken from the deepest depths of his body.
The moment that even more terrifying aura slowly awakened from within Gabriel’s body, the entire world seemed to fall silent for an instant.
It wasn’t that all sound had vanished.
Rather, everything around them had been completely suppressed by that suffocating pressure.
For the very first time, a trace of instinctive unease appeared within the Ant King’s crimson compound eyes.
But the hatred buried deep within its soul immediately swallowed that fear whole.
It let out a deafening roar. Every ounce of power within its body erupted without reservation as it forced both enormous scythes downward, attempting to split the human before it cleanly in two.
However, Gabriel merely slowly raised his head.
The next instant...
BOOM!!!
A force several times more violent than before erupted from Crimson Judgement.
The Ant King suddenly felt an overwhelming power crash into it head on.
Its twin scythes were violently knocked upward. Its massive body was sent flying uncontrollably.
Before it could even regain its balance, Gabriel had already disappeared using Bull Rush.
BOOM!
The air exploded.
The Ant King couldn’t even catch sight of him before a fist slammed heavily into its abdomen.
BANG!!
The dull impact sounded like a meteor crashing into the earth.
The Ant King’s face instantly twisted in agony.
Its gigantic body shot away like a cannonball, blasting straight through several mountains.
Countless rocks exploded apart as an enormous passage stretching several kilometers was carved through the mountain range.
The moment its body crashed into the ground, Gabriel appeared directly above it once again.
Without the slightest hesitation, Crimson Judgement descended with devastating force.
BOOM!!!
The Ant King was smashed deep underground by the blow.
Everything within several hundred meters collapsed completely as a bottomless crater instantly formed.
The violent impact penetrated deep beneath the earth, causing even distant mountains to crumble.
Before the dust could settle, Gabriel reached down and grabbed one of the Ant King’s forelimbs.
He forcibly dragged the enormous creature out of the crater.
Then...
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A series of deafening explosions echoed endlessly.
Before Sophie’s dumbfounded eyes, Gabriel swung the enormous Ant King around as though it weighed absolutely nothing.
He slammed it repeatedly into everything around them.
To the left, an entire mountain exploded into pieces, and to the right, a massive cliff collapsed completely.
The ground ahead was smashed into one gigantic crater after another, each over a hundred meters deep.
Every collision resembled a natural disaster. Every impact caused the earth for miles around to tremble violently.
Blood sprayed through the air. The supposedly indestructible golden exoskeleton finally began cracking apart.
The Ant King roared in pain and fury. Its giant scythes swung wildly as it struggled desperately.
Yet no matter how much strength it unleashed, it could not break free from Gabriel’s grip.
The difference in power between them was no longer on the same level.
In the distance, Sophie stared blankly at the scene.
Her mind had completely stopped functioning.
She had once believed the Ant King possessed enough strength to destroy a small kingdom.
Yet now, that same terrifying monster looked like nothing more than a helpless rag doll in Gabriel’s hands.
BOOM!!!
With one final devastating slam, the Ant King was hurled into a distant mountain.
The entire peak collapsed instantly. Countless massive boulders rolled downward, and dust swallowed the sky.
Moments later, its body covered in cracks, the Ant King slowly crawled out of the ruins.
One of its forelimbs had been completely broken.
Its chest had caved inward. Purple blood continuously dripped from its wounds. Even the once brilliant golden markings across its body now flickered weakly.
It knew it had lost. If the battle continued, it would only die.
Without the slightest hesitation, it suddenly turned around.
Using every last ounce of strength it possessed, it fled toward the distance.
It wanted to live.
Even if there was only the faintest sliver of hope.
However, it had traveled less than a hundred meters...
When a lone figure silently appeared before it.
Gabriel slowly raised Crimson Judgement.
His calm gaze rested upon the Ant King.
"The first time I let you live. I won’t make the same mistake twice."
The Ant King’s pupils shrank violently.
Before it could even change direction, a crimson sword light pierced through the air.
Whoosh! Slash!!
Crimson Judgement pierced effortlessly through its chest.
The massive blade burst out from its back, pinning the Ant King firmly to the shattered earth.
Blood continuously dripped from the sword.
The Ant King lowered its head to look at the crimson blade piercing its body.
Purple blood poured endlessly from its mouth. Its life force rapidly faded away.
The Ant King slowly raised its head.
The madness and killing intent within its crimson eyes had disappeared.
Only unwillingness and profound sorrow remained.
Looking at Gabriel, it spoke in a voice so weak it seemed ready to fade away at any moment.
"Why... we... we only lived beneath the earth. We never set foot in human territory... We only wanted to survive..."
It coughed violently. Large amounts of purple blood spilled from its mouth.
"But... why... did you humans still invade our home... You killed our Queen... You slaughtered our people. You destroyed... everything..."
It slowly closed its eyes. Two streams of purple blood slid quietly from the corners of its eyes.
"Why couldn’t humans spare us... when we had already hidden ourselves in the deepest corner of the world...?"
Gabriel remained silent for a long time. Then he let out a quiet sigh.
"If we’re speaking in terms of right and wrong... you weren’t wrong. You only wanted to survive, and it’s true I destroyed your home."
He paused briefly. Then his gaze became calm once more.
"But this world has never been a place where reason decides everything. It’s a world where the strong live, and the weak die. The law of the jungle. Survival of the fittest."
"And you were simply... a little too weak. So you had no choice but to fall."
The Ant King fell silent. It offered no rebuttal because it knew... the man before it was telling the truth.
After a long silence, the Ant King suddenly smiled, causing Gabriel to narrow his eyes.
"Human... before I die," it said. "May I ask you one last favor...?"
Gabriel quietly looked at it.
"What is it?"
