Chapter 50 - Chapter 50: The Beginning

"Ah! Don't come any closer... don't come any closer!"

Blood and flesh splattered across the earth, the dying faces of all living beings reflected in Honda's eyes. Even after the baptism of the Holy Grail War, Honda's face still paled! He had never witnessed so many deaths before, and Honda sighed inwardly. As expected! Although he was now a god, Honda still lacked divine nature and could not remain indifferent to the suffering of humanity. Seeing so many humans die before his very eyes, even knowing it was a baptism, he still found it difficult to accept.

"The smell has gotten stronger." Honda sighed inwardly at the sudden increase in the odor. Looks like a few more people have wet their pants.

Honda glanced around the classroom and saw that every student's face was filled with surprise, fear, and despair. Only Li Jiayu, standing beside him, had a smirk on her lips, a smile of excitement and bloodlust.

Seeing the dark spatial rift, Li Jiayu recalled her past life. A violent aura began to surge from her body, and the intense killing intent nearly made the surrounding classmates wet themselves in fear.

"What's wrong, Jiayu?" Honda wasn't affected at all, but his classmates were. So Honda went up to remind them that this wasn't the time for reminiscing.

"I'm sorry, sister." After being brought back to her senses by Honda, Jia Yu gave Honda an apologetic look.

"What should we do now?" Honda began to change the subject, given the current situation. Fighting their way out was impossible; they could only wait!

Sun Weiwei recovered slightly, but her face was ashen. She deliberately feigned composure and asked nervously:

"Now... what should we do? Li Jiayu, do you have any good ideas?"

"Yes, feed those giant insects. Once they're full, they'll naturally go back. However, they don't like to eat noodles, rice, or vegetables like humans do. They only like to eat meat, and human flesh at that!" Li Jiayu said coldly.

All the students screamed as if they had been choked, and there was another uproar—what a joke, those were more than a hundred giant insects, with such huge bodies, they could eat at least three people, right?

Does it mean that more than three hundred lives must be sacrificed to satisfy those giant insects?

That won't do.

Thinking this way, all the students were nervous but also held onto a bit of hope—they wouldn't die. There were over 10,000 people in the school, and only 300 needed to die, so my chances of surviving were high. I definitely wouldn't be the one to be eaten!

"Damn, that's just human nature!" Honda shook his head inwardly at the students' relieved expressions. He ignored them. Relieved? In a minute! Someone will come after you.

"I can guess what you're thinking... Heh, a one in thirty chance of death? Wrong! Who told you there were only a hundred red-capped beetles? Let me tell you! There will be nearly thirty more sickle beetles, almost a hundred sulfuric acid worms, and two hundred highly venomous spiders! To satisfy their appetite and destructive desires... it's impossible without killing half the population!"

Li Jiayu lived up to his sarcastic tone and began to disdainfully provoke his classmate, whose face showed relief.

So, Honda coldly watched the girl who had begun to seduce Li Jiayu. Desperate for survival, she had no choice but to place her hopes on the 'prophet' Li Jiayu. Unfortunately, she made the wrong choice. Leaving aside whether Li Jiayu was sexually frigid or not, his utterly despicable personality alone was enough to drive anyone crazy. He was alright towards family and benefactors, but towards strangers... he was practically a boss with maxed-out taunting skills. If, in this life, Li Jiayu hadn't awakened her World Tree bloodline with the help of the Dark Octopus and become a goddess, her life probably wouldn't have been much better!

Li Jiayu refused the female classmate's "kindness." He wasn't a person obsessed with lust, and he wouldn't become a protector for a woman he had little connection with. If he were powerful, he might have protected her once, but Li Jiayu had been reborn. He was no longer the powerful dark summoner. Now, he was still a student, and his mental strength wasn't much stronger than that of an ordinary person.

But he believed that with his fighting prowess combined with Honda's, they should be able to protect themselves!

In his past life, he knew of the glorious deeds of this Honda sister. She was a world-class prodigy, a darling of heaven and earth! A born Awakener, and later possessing an epic-level Yin Soul inheritance. Coupled with extraordinary potential, she ascended to the legendary throne within a year of the apocalypse, fully capable of rivaling the number one combat power, Emperor Taiwu. Even his mortal enemy, Yang An, was suppressed by her. But to seal the permanent passage from the Abyss to Earth, she entered the passage herself, detonating the entire Abyss Realm. She never returned! But! In this life, Li Jiayu would absolutely not let this kind lady who had been kind to him die!

"Something's coming!" Ignoring the question, Li Jiayu looked at herself with a complex expression. Honda's senses had been observing the spatial rift, and now that he sensed a large number of creatures about to emerge from it, he knew what they were. Honda immediately told Li Jiayu, who was beside him, and prepared for his first battle in this world! Hopefully, nothing too dramatic would happen. Honda wasn't aiming to protect the original plot, but at least he could ensure the protagonist wouldn't die before his eyes. However, he couldn't reveal too much of his power, otherwise, it would arouse suspicion. Besides, Honda didn't know how powerful Li Jiayu perceived him; otherwise, she would have already unleashed her full power and been mowing down enemies.

Although Li Jiayu has lost all his power, he possesses a wealth of experience and, through skillful tactics, can work with Honda to eliminate one or two insects. However, he now needs materials to cast his Dark Summoning spell!

Another disagreement arose over whether to lock or block the door. One side, thinking themselves clever, planned to seal the door. Li Jiayu, on the other hand, wanted to block the door to kill the pests. Sun Weiwei spoke up for Li Jiayu, only to be mocked and called a "cheap slut." Honda was somewhat annoyed; was this the necessary infighting before a major battle?

"It's here!" Yoshitama Hondo sensed the creature emanating a murderous aura and instantly gripped his weapon tightly. He became alert!

"The sickle beetle! The sickle beetle is here too..."

"What? It's the sickle beetle you mentioned... the first one to snap my head off?" Zhou Jiamin felt herself needing to pee again.

"That's right, but it will be my first sacrifice!"

A chilling smile curled at the corners of Li Jiayu's lips as she licked her dry, chapped lips and gripped the fire axe tightly.

"At the same time... it was also my first talisman during this catastrophe!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than a sharp, buzzing vibration was heard, and a group of dark, unidentified creatures suddenly appeared on the horizon. They moved extremely fast, and in less than two seconds, they came into view!

They were black beetles, each the size of a computer chair, with sharp black blades protruding from their bodies. But what was most terrifying were their mouthparts, which were two mandibles a full meter long, looking like two bloodthirsty scythes!

Sickle beetle!
