Ultragene Warlord

le transporting all your troops back to their homeworlds. ”

Zhang Lie turned to him.
”Can you? ”

Nightdemon shrugged.
I ’m a superior king, after all, even if this is only one of my clones.
Of course I can establish a temporary wormhole. ”

The ink-black man also appeared by his side.
”As for rewards, you can bring it up during the post-war meeting.
I don ’t know what the outcome will be, though. ”

The warriors smiled in excitement.
Compared to whatever measly reward they might obtain, they were happier about the recognition they would receive.

”I ’ll try my best. ” Zhang Lie knew very well what the superior kings were like, and how they viewed the aliens of lesser worlds as nothing more than ants.
It would be difficult to convince them to give the aliens a fair share of rewards.

Nightdemon invoked the authority of a superior king.
His shadow lengthened; his aura grew tremendously strong.
The shadow seemed like the source of darkness, the origin of a primordial chaos, the end and beginning of all matter. 

As his eyes flashed, three wormholes appeared.
”To the Zongming world, the white world, and the king of keys respectively. ”

Zhang Lie nodded.
”Thank you. ”

Before the frost spirit commander left, he extended a hand toward Zhang Lie.
”I don ’t think I ’ll ever forget this war.
I hope the next time we meet won ’t be on the battlefield. ”

Zhang Lie shook the frost spirit commander ’s ethereal hand.
”Likewise. ”

Wilbow also offered Zhang Lie a handshake.
”Thanks to you, we were easily able to end this war.
I hope we won ’t meet again. ”

Zhang Lie couldn ’t help but laugh.
”Shouldn ’t you hope to meet me again? ”

Wilbow rolled his eyes.
”You ’re a warrior of the Zongming world, and nothing good can come out of meeting you in the future.
Either we ’re battling against each other, or we ’re both on the battlefield against a common enemy. ”

Zhang Lie inclined his head with a wry smile.
”In that case, I hope I won ’t see you again, either. ”

Wilbow waved as he headed toward his wormhole.
The ten million troops he had brought had dwindled to no more than ten thousand.

Such was the cost of war.
The survival of so many of the Zongming world ’s forces could only be attributed to luck and Zhang Hanxiang and Hong Xi ’s hard work.

Nightdemon floated over.
”You truly are an interesting fellow.
I won ’t bid you farewell—I know we ’ll see each other again soon enough. ”

”Do you mean in the subsequent meeting, Nightdemon? ”

Nightdemon grinned.
His white coat, stained by blood, turned a dark-red color.
”Who knows? ”

The red of Nightdemon ’s coat deepened and darkened until it was almost black.
Then, it flashed and opened wide, transforming into a pair of bat ’s wings.
The black wings wrapped around Nightdemon as he took to the sky.
When they unfurled again, he had morphed into a gigantic bat with a brilliant white smile the shape of a crescent moon, as though he were mocking the entire world.
”Until our next meeting, hahahaha! ”

Nightdemon vanished into the void, leaving nothing but an echo of his laughter behind.
The ink-black man likewise bowed and disappeared into the darkness.

Zhang Lie waved a hand.
”Let ’s set off too, then. ”

Following Zhang Lie ’s lead, the forces of the Zongming world marched into the wormhole.

Zhang Lie turned to his sister.
”Are you satisfied now, Hanxiang? You ’ve participated in a mythical battle of the third realm, just as you wanted to—and this battle will surely be recorded in the annals of the realm. ”
