Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 257 Humanity's Utter Defeat

As the meteorite fell from the sky, the witches finally couldn't sit still any longer. They quickly opened a huge spatial gate connecting to the astral plane to transport the meteorite away. However, while everyone's attention was focused on the meteorite, the Darkscale troops had already climbed the city wall and slaughtered all the soldiers on it. Bunkers and turrets were also destroyed one after another by them.

This story teaches us that when you are on the defensive and have lost the initiative, you should not blindly join in the fun. The enemy will not be so polite as to wait for you to concentrate before launching an attack. In other words, your enemy will definitely choose the time when you are least focused and at your worst to launch a surprise attack. So for your own good, I advise all young people not to sleep too soundly, even when you are sleeping!

The human defenses were breached instantly, and a human officer rushed to Remington's throne in a panic, crying out in terror, "Your Majesty, those monsters have attacked our defenses without any martial spirit! We are now in complete defeat! You should hurry and escape from here!"

Remington stood up nonchalantly, stepped down from the throne, and said, "It doesn't matter. I will personally destroy them!"

At this moment, an ordinary-looking young man pushed open the castle gate. The person who came was none other than Agreed's clone puppet. Agreed walked forward arrogantly, shaking his head and saying with an extremely irritating expression and tone, "Sorry, friend, you no longer have a chance to win."

Remington looked at Agreed with a slightly surprised expression and asked, "The inner city fell so quickly too..."

Agreed interrupted him and explained, "You're wrong. Your inner city has already fallen. Remember? You told me you captured the forty dragonkin I sent here, right? But I'm sorry, the number of Darkscale troops I initially deployed here was far greater than that!"

As he spoke, Agreed waved his hand and the palace gates were torn open. A force of tens of thousands of men emerged from them. Their pupils gradually changed from the round shape of humans to the vertical shape of lizards. Remington recognized most of these men; some were Grand Councilors, some were Executive Councilors, and even his deputy, the Grand Steward who was second only to him, was among them.

Agreed continued, “I initially sent a thousand Darkscales here. What you’ve discovered over the years is only a tiny fraction. Moreover, the dragonkin, who have no reproductive barriers with humans, have spread their superior genes and gradually taken over the upper echelons of human kingdoms. The descendants of the dragonkin are not only more intelligent than humans, but also much stronger physically. Those children can become the elite warriors you speak of with minimal effort. But what you don’t know is… these are all my people.”

Over decades, through subtle influence, the descendants of the dragons, with their superior genes, have taken over high-ranking positions in the military and all important departments of the capital. Let me put it this way: your administration has always been in my hands, and I've made a mess of the business world over the years. As for the military… tsk tsk tsk, I'm sorry to say that the overarching objectives of your military operations have always been under our influence, and our shadow has always been behind all your military actions. That's why all your actions have been utter failures.”

Remington was so angry he was practically grinding his teeth to powder. He practically forced out the words: "You've been plotting against me all along!"

Agreed bowed and then thanked him, saying, "If it weren't for your cooperation, I wouldn't have been able to eliminate you so easily. You perfectly met my expectations, an arrogant fool who has lost his mind."

Remington gradually calmed himself down, and a mysterious energy began to surge around him. He soared high into the air and shouted majestically, "You shouldn't have been so confident in revealing all your cards. You simply cannot comprehend my power!"

Agreed glanced at him and replied dismissively, "I told you, you were doomed to lose. It's just a system, nothing special."

"You! You know about the system?!" Remington was completely dumbfounded. This had always been his secret, and even the witches had only seen some clues. But the man in front of him had exposed everything about him, as if he knew everything about him.

"Kneel down." Agred's puppet clone slowly uttered two words, but those two words seemed to have enormous magic power. In an instant, Remington was thrown from the air and knelt on the ground, then collapsed to the ground under the immense pressure.

Argreed slowly walked to Remington's side, who was prostrating himself, and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "I have met many of your kind. You are very precious food for both the gods and me. After all, there is no simpler way to obtain divine power than from you."

I've eaten many of your kind; you're not the first, and you won't be the last.

Just then, a woman's figure walked to the door. Remington looked at her with difficulty, and when he saw that it was Ellie, he shouted as if he had seen a glimmer of hope: "I am not alone, Evil Dragon! You are dead! The Witch Clan is a mysterious and unpredictable existence!"

Ellie sighed helplessly. Then, the forty-two witches, bound by shackles made of anti-magic stones, came to the main hall under Ellie's lead. Ellie knelt down and bowed, saying, "Teacher, your disciple has brought the entire witch clan here to apologize to you. Please forgive them and give them a way out."

Remington, witnessing the scene before him, cried out in despair, "No! No! How can this be?! Ellie, you…"

Agreed kicked Remington's teeth, shattering them all. Then, straightening his clothes, he said to himself, "There's no right to talk here." Immediately afterward, Agreed's puppet clone swept Remington away, causing him to explode into dust.

Then a stream of light appeared and condensed into a fragment of divinity in Agreed's palm. After that, Agreed's puppet clone opened a portal and fed the fragment of divinity to his main body. After resolving all of this, Agreed finally looked at Ellie.

Agreed surveyed the witch clan, then earnestly admonished Ellie: "Ellie, your teacher is aware of your entanglement with them, but I'm sorry, they have made me feel threatened, so my tolerance is limited... This is war, Ellie, but for the sake of our relationship, I can spare one person, but only one, and you have to make that choice yourself."

Ellie looked up at her teacher, knowing that her teacher was already being lenient by making such a concession. Ellie then pointed at the witch leader Bella and said, "Please spare her, teacher, I beg you."
