God-Tier Extraction Talent: Reincarnated in a Game-like World! Chapter 618: Final Minutes [2]

The western side of New Dawn Camp!

Sarah still stood silently amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, while the blood filling the sky flowed slowly around her as though it possessed a life of its own. The entire battlefield had already become her domain, and any mechanical legion that dared to enter would be reduced to wreckage scattered across the ground within only a few breaths.

Meanwhile, every player standing upon the wall stared blankly at the lone figure who had stopped an entire army by herself. Even now, they still found it difficult to believe that someone could truly hold the entire Edgeburn army outside the camp through her strength alone.

However, just as everyone believed that the enemy army had finally begun to retreat, a voice filled with extreme terror suddenly erupted from the highest point of the watchtower.

"Wh-What is that?!"

That single cry instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

Countless players raised their heads almost simultaneously and followed the guard’s trembling finger toward the distant horizon.

The next second, every expression changed at once.

Far above the distant sky, an enormous stream of pitch-black light was tearing across the heavens at a speed visible to the naked eye. Behind it stretched a crimson trail thousands of meters long, making it resemble a world-ending meteor descending from the highest heavens and illuminating the entire sky in a horrifying shade of dark red. As it continued to approach, an increasingly terrifying pressure began to envelop the whole of New Dawn Camp, causing everyone to instinctively feel a trembling that originated from the deepest part of their souls.

"A meteor?"

"No... that’s not a meteor!"

"Look! It’s... it’s flying straight toward us!"

"You’ve got to be kidding me!!"

More and more people began shouting in horror.

The players who had still been assisting with the defense of the wall lost all color from their faces almost simultaneously. Even though none of them knew what the approaching object truly was, they could still sense an unprecedented danger within the aura of destruction spreading from it, and that danger far surpassed the pressure they had felt while facing the entire mechanical army.

The whole camp instantly descended into chaos.

"Run!"

"Retreat!!"

"Get away from the western wall!!"

"Everyone, evacuate immediately!!"

In an instant, countless players and ordinary residents began rushing frantically toward the inner camp. The faces of the elderly, the children, and those ordinary people who possessed no combat ability whatsoever were filled with terror. Cries, screams, and furious shouts attempting to maintain order intertwined continuously, plunging the once well-organized New Dawn Camp into complete confusion.

Inside the command hall, Anna was almost the first to rush toward the window. The moment she raised her head and saw the black trajectory drawing closer, her pupils abruptly contracted.

"What in the world is that..."

Before she could finish speaking, the player responsible for reconnaissance rushed into the room with a deathly pale face.

"Report!!"

"The target is moving too quickly!!"

"We can’t lock onto it at all!!"

"Estimated..."

The player swallowed with great difficulty, his voice trembling uncontrollably with fear.

"Estimated arrival at the battlefield... within several dozen seconds!!"

The entire hall instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone could hear the hurried breathing of those around them.

No one knew what the approaching object was.

But they all understood one thing.

It was absolutely not something they could stop.

Elsewhere, Darius, who had remained standing at the highest point of the wall, finally raised his head. His grey eyes silently stared at the approaching stream of black light, and for the first time, his expression became solemn.

He could clearly sense that within it was an extremely unfamiliar power capable of destroying everything.

Even he was not completely confident that he could emerge unharmed from such power.

At the same time, Sarah finally stopped pursuing the mechanical troops that had already scattered in every direction.

She slowly raised her head.

The approaching black trajectory was reflected in her blood-red eyes.

At that moment, the entire western battlefield suddenly fell silent.

The Edgeburn soldiers who were retreating in panic did not dare to look back. They ran desperately toward the distance, and some even discarded their weapons and heavy armor so they could flee more quickly, because every single one of them understood that once the countdown reached its end, every living thing remaining upon the battlefield would completely disappear.

There would be no exceptions.

...

Meanwhile, on the Edgeburn side.

"..."

"Forty seconds."

The mechanical countdown echoed once more.

There were no cheers across the launch platform, nor was there any excitement. Only countless technicians continued watching the constantly shifting data with tense expressions, while the enormous black strategic weapon had already entered the final stage of its flight correction.

Streams of dark crimson energy continuously erupted from its rear, causing its speed to increase once again as it raced toward the designated target.

Everest still stood at the very front of the platform.

He watched the black trajectory drawing closer to the target zone, his expression completely unchanged, as though what was about to be erased was not merely a battlefield, but also several thousand of his own soldiers who had yet to escape.

After a long while, the corner of his mouth finally curved into a cold smile.

"You truly are powerful. Far more powerful than I expected. If this were an ordinary battle, perhaps even I wouldn’t be confident that I could defeat you."

Everest stared silently at the black point rapidly disappearing into the distance, his gaze so cold that it contained not the slightest trace of warmth.

"But... you can stop an army. You can stop a war. But can you stop..." His voice paused slightly. Then, the smile upon his face grew deeper. "Doomsday?"
