Chapter 760 Wishing The End Of A World
Chapter 760 Wishing The End Of A World
A few minutes earlier:
As Mirage Queen reached Mars, she already killed the soldiers in the final line of defense—the space ships, the space stations, and moons.
Like ants washed away by water, the soldiers washed away under her tremendous power.
After clearing the final opposition, Mirage Queen didn’t descend on mars nor did she start killing.
After running a few scans of the planet with her mental sense, she realized that only about half of mars’ population remained.
The final hesitation in her heart disappeared.
Kreo left!
For one reason or another, Kreo wasn’t here to stop her.
It’s over! No one could stop her! The ones that tried already died!
She tapped her armrest and laughed. “Hahahaha! Mars! Humanity’s extinction will begin with you!”
Standing above Mars’ atmosphere, she declared those prophetic words.
As she’s about to release her attacks on the military officers and order them for a massacre, she realized something.
The population was still evacuating. And there were just too many people.
Even if she tried her best, she wouldn’t be able to finish them off without an hour or two.
By then, even if she interfered with all her might, millions of humans would have escaped.
“There must be a way to end them quickly. Seeing even one human escape makes me angry.” Mirage Queen gnashed her teeth and contacted her ‘dog’.
“My Queen!” In the hologram, a man in black clothes bowed his head.
“Do you have any quick way to destroy mars and instantly kill every person on the planet?” Mirage Queen asked, her eyes burning with desire.
Tamal, the Shadow Lord of Mars, gulped.
Truth be told, he long evacuated his secret realm and left for another planet. The same could be said for every family and organization controlling a secret realm.
Once Mars was conquered, the secret realms would be found out and their lives would be at mercy of the abyssals.
Still, Tamal wanted his promised reward. So, he thought hard about how to accomplish the queen’s command.
Mirage Queen tapped her armrest as she read other reports.
Apparently, it had been six hours since Mars started the evacuation. They already managed to empty half of the population.
Seeing the news, her conviction to destroy the population as soon as possible was strengthened.
If she took an hour or two, then hundreds of millions of humans would escape!
A minute passed. Then another.
Shadow Lord Timal’s suddenly lit up and he said. “There’s a way!”
“Oh?” Mirage Queen raised a brow.
“Mars’ power plants are spread across the planet. If we hack the power grid and detonate them, the entire planet will go down!” Timal then began to explain the details of his sinister plan.
The more she listened, the more Mirage Queen smiled.
At the same time, she decided in her mind that once this mission was over, she’d bring Timal to her side and enslave him.
“…I hate this planet. So, I’ve tried to destroy it many times in the past. But the military is too strong. I didn’t even succeed in destroying a city.” Timal sighed before raising his head.
“You are succeeding now, yes?”
“With your grace.” Timal smiled before his face turned serious. “But your majesty, do properly time and detonate the power grid, the people in the grid must be controlled.
The defenses of the power grid are at an all-time low, so we don’t need to worry about fighting and focus on getting them to work. But they won’t agree…”
“Heh.” Mirage Queen smirked. “I will make them.”
Timal nodded with a smile and tapped his comm for a few moments before giving her a list of power grids.
“Since the evacuation began, it seems that most of the workers in the power grid left leaving behind only a few who volunteered to stay. If your majesty can…” Timal chuckled.
Mirage Queen nodded and closed her eyes.
Her spaceship moved according to her will and like a huge floodlight scanning through a dark area, her mind sense scanned mars.
In a matter of minutes, Mirage Queen found every power grid on the list. Not just that, she also found the people inside the grid and planted an ‘order’ inside their minds.
Through this silent but deadly operation, Mirage Queen fully utilized her privilege as a mind awakener.
While they had disadvantages due to their weak body, their attack range was the highest among all paths.
“Formulate a plan to deal maximum damage to mars.” She ordered an expert.
It’s a complex order and would typically be impossible to work on high awakeners. But these experts in the power grids weren’t strong and thus fell prey to her.
The old expert reported to her that a simultaneous detonation of power grids would leave behind exponentially more damage than random detonation. The expert even gave the accurate steps to achieve a perfect simultaneous detonation.
Mirage Queen was more than happy and ordered them to start.
Soon, every power grid on the planet was working towards a simultaneous detonation.
Timal watched all this with a crazed smile on his face.
His mother was a whore. But one day, she was killed by an officer who wanted an extreme ‘play’ during sex.
After seeing her death, Timal, the boy from the bottom of society, could only approach the court.
The court did punish the officer, but he got away with only a sentence of 5 years. The reason cited by the judge: ‘He’s a high awakener. We need his services.’
Timal spent the entire week crying. But from the eighth day, he started laughing. People thought he went crazy and perhaps he did.
Before he knew it, he joined one shady gang after another and ended up in the Shadow Guardians.
Stooping to the lowest of low to achieve his goals, he grew. With him, so did his vengeance.
When he became the leader of Shadow Order’s mars branch, Timal butchered his family like they were animals and tortured the man until his sanity broke down.
But the fire in his heart—his burning rage didn’t calm down. It only grew.
His hatred shifted from the officer to the world.
He tried many times in the past but failed to destroy this planet.
Now, after all these years, he finally had the chance.
“Your Highness.” The expert overseeing the operation called.
Mirage Queen inquired him about the situation.
Timal perked his ears as he held his breath in anticipation.
“Two minutes. Everything will be over in two minutes.”
Mirage Queen’s smile was dazzling bright as she nodded in satisfaction. Her voice soon reached the planet.
“Enjoy your last two minutes.”
