Even with such powerful attributes, she was inevitably defeated by the blockade of a world. Under the blockade of the world of Ferro, she not only lost her immense power and versatile abilities, but also her control over her limbs. This is the power of a so-called "true god"!
However, there is more than one true god here!

Chapter 352: What do you mean by asking me to give birth to world consciousness?
Warm, inclusive, gentle, resilient, diverse, infinite, self-centered, obsessive—power!
Just as the King of No Light was about to be crushed by the world of Ferro, a sudden burst of power belonging to the monster girl stood between the boundless and infinite power and her, allowing her to regain her power and even become stronger, and to come to the side of the goddess of the beginning.
Unfortunately, when the two worlds collide with full force, the entrance to a small, subordinate space like the Angelic Sanctuary cannot be opened, even with the method developed by the King of No Light that allows the entrance to be opened from any location. Therefore, the King of No Light knew that she was unlikely to be lucky enough to escape death like she had in ancient times.
The reason for this is that since the goddess is bound, she is clearly at a disadvantage and will eventually be unable to fight against the world of Fero. And indeed, this is the case. Even though the King of No Light successfully destroyed the mechanical devices that released strange rays and restricted the goddess at that moment, the realm belonging to the goddess, the one that brought warmth and acceptance to the ancient demons, is shrinking and weakening—it couldn't be more obvious.
The reason is quite simple. Just like when Zhuang Sen fought against the Ferro World, which was only anchored by eight Ferro people, with the help of a large number of monster girl lairs, the strength of the monster girl world that was only generated by his own existence and the King of No Light in the Holy City, which had been completely and thoroughly controlled by the Ferro World, was overwhelmingly weak!
In just ten seconds... five seconds, the boundary of the Monster Girl World will be completely shattered and covered, and the King of No Light will meet his death! The world of Fero calculates the time needed for everything to return to normal with unparalleled precision, outputting its power in an extremely stable manner. In this short but incredibly long countdown, the King of No Light activates his power.
The Voice of the Forgotten
The sound isn't transmitted through radio waves, magic, energy, or air; rather, it uses an ancient, forgotten entity as a relay to transmit the cries of the forgotten. This is the true nature of the [Ancient Monster Communication Device]. It's something only [King of the Dark] Chris can accomplish. And this special communication method, which allows transmission even briefly within the boundaries of the Ferro World, as long as the power isn't completely lost, is a proven and absolutely reliable ability.
—Yes, the evil consequences sown by the existence of the world called Ferro.
In the distant past, before the world of Ferro was as complete and powerful as it is today, in an era when the Ferro people suffered heavy losses and their technology was in chaos, ancient monsters rebelled. Driven by experimentation, revenge, and a desire for revival, the world of Ferro secretly guided these ancient monsters. These artificial races, awakened by the chaos of the collision between the two worlds and gaining souls, absorbed Ferro's power, thus granting the ancient monsters access to the world of Ferro.
This is why the King of No Light was able to enter the temple he controlled so easily. The powerful physical defenses placed outside were only the most basic barrier; there were even more defenses set up before and behind the gate that appeared to be a crack in the mountain. The most stringent point was that only beings from within the world of Ferro could pass through that gate.
Even Zhuang Sen, that person from the Third World, is no match for him!
But the King of Darkness, who slew numerous "goddesses" and gained immense guidance and power from Chris, possesses this authority! Therefore, unless he twists himself again and alters the rules, he cannot stop the King of Darkness from using the Forgotten to transmit the communication! However, such communication requires the consent of both parties, but at this moment, the lustful beings of the Third World are in the midst of reproduction, making the possibility of connection only 0.05%—
The beeping bell rang, and in less than half a second, the communication sent by King Wuguang was connected. Zhuang Sen's voice, tinged with a mix of relaxation and confusion, rang out: "Hello? King Wuguang, what do you want from me at this hour?"
King Wuguang remained silent, and three seconds... four seconds... five seconds had passed!
In just two seconds, what could possibly be said? The answer is—a song! From the gentle Mother Goddess, the goddess of beginnings, that gentle yet clear voice sang a beautiful melody, the complex information contained within traveling thousands of miles through the existence of the Forgotten, transmitting an extremely rich message.
Five seconds!
The boundary of the Monster Girl world was completely covered, the body of the King of No Light was shattered, and the last relay of the Forgotten Ones vanished completely, as if they had never existed, utterly dissipating into the boundary of the other world. However, the songs, information, and intelligence that had already been spread would not disappear, even if one world took action itself, because the main body transmitting and receiving the intelligence was another world.
The magnificent temple's beautiful ground cracked with impotent rage. The detectors dropped by the world of Ferro locked onto the graceful goddess. Nearly infinite computing power and thought projected new mechanical devices, restoring the restraints destroyed by the King of No Light, and once again restricting the goddess, and most importantly, the core, the center, the origin of the world... the consciousness of the world, which was beyond the reach of the King of No Light's vision!
Outside the colorful, dazzling sphere of light, a dark, mechanical luster is spreading, as if a shell is growing, intending to "protect" it.
……
Holy King's Palace, bedroom.
The ancient monster communicator suddenly collapsed, just as abruptly as the Lightless King's communication and the message from the other end. But Zhuang Sen had no time to regret his lost phone; he was now focused on processing the information conveyed in those two brief seconds of music, and the information the system had decoded and deciphered from it!
The amount of information is vast and complex.
First, the message was relayed by the world consciousness of the Monster Girls world, specifically by the plump elf with a strong maternal aura in the King of No Light's communication screen; her name is Alice.
Secondly, she is currently under the control of the Ferro World. The reasons are complex, but in the simplest terms, she's been trapped in her fountain. Yes, she and the Ferro World chose the same spot to hibernate, and after helping Zhuang Sen beat up the Ferro World last time, her location was exposed, and she was then controlled by the Ferro World, which had the home-field advantage.
Furthermore, after realizing they couldn't defeat the Monster Girl World head-on, the Ferro World chose an alternative path: attempting to indirectly control it by eroding Alice's "Fountain," aiming to make the Monster Girl World's territory the Ferro World's territory. Especially now, with Zhuang Sen displaying near-unbeatable combat power, the Ferro World can't outnumber them in terms of troop production or technological advancement, leaving them with only the option of exchanging bases. No matter how Zhuang Sen attacks, wins, or expands the Monster Girl World's coverage, as long as he ultimately manages to erode Alice, everything Zhuang Sen does will become his reward.
Ultimately, there's only one way to break this plan: rescue Alice and stop the Ferro World from encroaching on her. However, as the Ferro World's stronghold, even with the enhanced [Realm Descent], the Holy City would likely only be able to cover the area for a mere 0.001 seconds, far too short to take Alice away amidst the heavy defenses. And relying on the monster girl's lair for coverage would require an astronomical number of resources.
According to the intelligence provided by King Wuguang some time ago, there are approximately 120,000 pure-blooded Ferro people in the Holy City, nearly a million half-Ferro people who have been assimilated, and many more ordinary people undergoing conversion and transformation, along with their offspring. Even though the anchoring effect of monster girl lairs far exceeds that of Ferro people, to fully utilize the effect of the lairs, at least 300,000 to 500,000 monster girl lairs would be needed, and all of them must be of the highest level!
Even killing all the bloodline beings among the Philo people wouldn't yield this much bloodline essence! If Alice could still attack freely, there could be a fair war between worlds and between creations, but to allow Alice to attack freely, the Holy City must first be dealt with, and to deal with the Holy City, Alice must first be able to attack freely... a vicious cycle.
But since Alice actively lured the King of Darkness to deliver the message, she must already have a plan. And she didn't leave anything out; she sent it all to Zhuang Sen at once. The plan was: "Quickly regenerate me with any monster girl! As long as it's an elf!"
Mom suddenly became her daughter, she said.
Chapter 353: The Non-Existent Elf
"what?"
Zhuang Sen, with the expression of someone using an old man's phone on the subway, stared at the system panel before him, suppressing his urge to complain, and continued reading. However, there were no second or third solutions below; instead, there were explanations and information. The main focus was on explaining why Zhuang Sen should give birth to an elf: because the [Elf Species] was the first monster girl Alice created, and the one most similar to her, possessing the closest connection to her among all monster girls.
Therefore, as long as there are spirits present, even in a weakened state, Alice can transfer her consciousness back to escape. However, there are no spirits left in this world now, so she can only rely on Johnson.
But is it really necessary for him to have a child? Couldn't he have one recruited from the lair, or one with a different bloodline? Zhuang Sen had many questions, but unfortunately the information stopped there, leaving only half a sentence: "It must be your child, because you are the third..." Obviously, under the control of the Ferro world, two seconds was still too short. Even Alice's ability to speak at high speed was not enough to convey all the information.
Zhuang Sen could only turn off the system panel and look at his wives who were watching him.
Alice's solution was so shocking that even though Zhuang Sen was quite used to the wild and unrestrained nature of the monster girls, he hesitated for quite some time before telling his wives the information the system had provided. However, to his surprise, they didn't immediately launch a fierce battle to compete for the spot. But he quickly realized that he had also been misled by the information—his family didn't have any spirits at the moment.
Even if they are monster girls, they will only give birth to monster girls of the same species. Holy Lamia will only give birth to Lamia, and Centaur Tyrant will only give birth to centaurs. At most, they will be of different subspecies. Moreover, some monster girls will even be of the same race as their mothers. For example, Red Dragon Girl will not give birth to White Dragon Girl or Black Dragon Girl.
So no matter what Alice says in the intelligence report, it's impossible for Zhuang Sen to have any elves with his current wives unless some external power comes along, such as Alice using her divine power to directly enter the belly of a monster girl. But if she still has that ability, there's no need for Zhuang Sen to give birth to her again.
However, it's not a big problem. With all three relics now gathered and a continuous supply of bloodline essence, it shouldn't be difficult for him to randomly encounter elven-related nests or obtain elven-related bloodlines...
Ok?
Zhuang Sen suddenly realized the problem. During this time, he had created nearly two thousand monster girl lairs, many of which were random, but none were related to the elf race. Moreover, the bloodlines resulting from the monster girls' increased strength were the same; even those of [random natural race] or [random demi-human race] had never randomly generated an elf!
Even after all this time, traveling through the Falling Star Kingdom, the Thousand Towers Kingdom, the White City Federation, and even other countries and cities visited after the establishment of the Holy Salvation Alliance, I have never met any people with monster girl bloodlines who are [Elf]! Although there are many types of monster girls, especially various subspecies, elves are not particularly rare. On the contrary, they are quite common among monster girls!
Wild elves of the earth, tree elves of nature, moon elves of the sacred, sun elves of the flame, dark elves of the darkness… but he had never seen a single one of them?!
Zhuang Sen's expression turned serious as he looked at Zero and explained the problem he had discovered. The monster girls, upon hearing this, also sensed something was amiss. With Zero's return, the [Inheritance] was no longer restricted, and they had all gained comprehensive knowledge of their races, naturally including a general understanding of other races. Therefore, they were even more aware of the situation with the elves; those proud and arrogant darlings, regardless of their attributes, were never of rare bloodlines!
On the contrary, because they look very similar to humans, and apart from the skin of a few subspecies, their ears are the only distinctive feature of elves, they are the easiest to approach and seduce humans! Therefore, their marriage and birth rates among monster girls are among the highest. With a larger population, their strength naturally increases, the possibility of preserving their bloodline is greater, and even the chance of subspecies appearing is higher! It's impossible that even rare species like earthworm girls and candle girls have appeared, yet there are still no elves.
At this moment, Dantalian, who had been holding the brainwave pad provided by Zhuang Sen, spoke with some uncertainty: "Could it be because it's been blocked?"
"Why do you say that?" Zhuang Sen looked at Dantalian, not questioning her, but simply puzzled.
Dantalian rubbed Zhuang Sen's temples and said softly, "There is a common pattern in the scriptures of the Church of the Goddess of Creation: a certain person/race commits a certain evil deed and is then punished by the goddess by losing a newborn, or being stripped of the ability to use it to do evil, or even the extermination of the entire race, while other people and races have no reaction to this. Doesn't that sound a bit like it?"
Dantalian shook her head, feeling it didn't make sense. The creator goddess, Alice, had no reason to block Johnson; he was the chosen savior. Besides, while elves were strong, they were only about as strong as the Lamy subspecies, dragons, and cyborgs… and many subspecies were even weaker. What need was there for a blockade?
Unless, it wasn't blocked by Dantalian.
There is not just one creator god in this world!
Could Alice do it, and could the world of Ferro do it? Even if it couldn't be done before, with Alice's fountain blocked, was it possible for him to do it? Zhuang Sen couldn't be sure, but his intuition told him the probability was high.
"This is really troublesome..."
Zhuang Sen changed his position, picked up Nia, buried his face in the dwarf's enormous breasts, and used the fragrance to soothe his brain while rapidly thinking of possible solutions. However, in the end, apart from trying to create a monster girl's nest to enhance the monster girl's strength and obtain bloodline rewards, he still had no good options.
Oh, there's one more thing to do.
"Ledia, Serafina, Lysander, we can prepare to launch a multi-pronged attack."
Now that the Ferro World has decided to shift its focus to eroding the Monster Girl World, Zhuang Sen can't just stand by and watch. The elves are temporarily nowhere to be seen, but that vast land is right before his eyes. Without the Ferro World's constant technological support, Zhuang Sen can operate more recklessly. Moreover, to create Monster Girl nests, he needs enough bloodline essence, which he must obtain from the Ferro people.
As for whether the current large-scale creation of monster girl lairs will ultimately benefit the world of Ferro, if that happens, what difference will it make whether Zhuang Sen does more or less? He will still be completely destroyed by the fully-powered world of Ferro.
In any case, weakening the power of the Ferro world first is the right thing to do. Every Ferro is an anchor point for the Ferro world; killing one will weaken it by a factor!

Chapter 354: A Desperate Gamble
The city of holiness, the temple of creation.
Even in its shattered yet still magnificent temple, Alice stands quietly in the place where her idol once stood, calm and elegant, as if she were in her free world, watching over her prosperous world, without any negative feeling of being imprisoned and on the verge of death.
Conversely, the world of Ferro is clearly gaining the upper hand and is slowly but effectively eroding and covering the world of monster girls, but the thoughts he has entered here are filled with negative emotions such as impatience, anger, and exasperation, as if he has broken down.
Okay, in fact, he did break down.
Too many things have happened recently, and they've been so terrible that even he is finding it hard to bear. Not only emotionally, but also physically. To quickly decipher the message that the Monster Girl World was sending to Zhuang Sen, he expended a portion of his power; after the deciphering was complete, to ensure that Zhuang Sen could not rescue the Monster Girl World, he expended a considerable amount of power again to lock down the [Elf Species] at the level of world rules, preventing them from reviving.
In this process, he also needs to continuously expend enormous power to erode the monster girl world, and continue to intensify the research, production, and arming of various technological weapons to delay and disperse Zhuang Sen's forces. The number of Ferro people is limited, and the power they can provide is also limited. With massive consumption in all aspects without replenishment, even the world's consciousness will weaken.
If he continues to weaken, he might even lose the power to invade the monster girl world! So he must now make a choice: cut off certain expenditures and give up one part to ensure the success of another.
And it's quite obvious which aspect to give up.
The invasion of the monster girl world is something he absolutely cannot give up; it's his only way to win. On top of that, he can't abandon the power that locks onto the [Elf Species]. Since these two major threats are unavoidable, the only remaining option is to stop further technological advancements and the production of weapons and soldiers. As for the rest, everything else that could be cut down has already been cut down.
"What a pity, Ironhead. If you had chosen peaceful communication back then, perhaps we would both be back to normal lives by now," Alice suddenly spoke, her words filled with regret but laced with sarcasm. Or rather, no matter what she said now, the world of Ferro would only perceive it as sarcasm.
"Weak, flesh-and-blood creatures have no idea about the mysteries of mechanical evolution." The Ferro World retorted coldly. Even now, the Ferro World didn't think there was anything wrong with its invasion of the Monster Girl World and the New World after the collision of the two worlds. To become stronger, to evolve, one should choose to join the war, initiate the war, and win the war!
The reason he has evolved to his current state is due to the technological advancements spurred by the 73rd World War! In his estimation, if it weren't for the unexpected collision with the Monster Girl World, he would have experienced another technological leap after the 73rd World War! Of course, if he wins this time as well, he can still ascend again, but he will no longer be a pure machine, but will acquire a completely new technology tree.
"Then I hope your powerful machinery won't be completely destroyed by my little darlings." Alice smiled, a pure and beautiful smile, but in the eyes of the fragile world of Ferro, it became an even more hateful mockery, making him even more vulnerable. In the end, he simply withdrew his gaze from this place and devoted himself to the work of reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
As his gaze left, Alice's smile faded, and she looked sadly at the shattered temple, murmuring to herself, "Zhuang Sen, you must pay attention..."
……
War, war has never changed.
Tucker Talos sighed softly as he stepped into the heavy steel cabin. Cold nerve wires pierced his body, and signal lights illuminated the dark, cramped space. The distinctive noise of welding could be heard from outside, but the high temperature couldn't penetrate the inner high-strength alloy, especially when the [Wrath of God] power armor was fully activated and began drawing power from the former Level 4 bloodline user, the Vice Patriarch of the Church of War. At that temperature, the final welding was almost impossible to complete.
However, after the extra heating, Corporal Tak Talos successfully completed the preparations, maneuvering his steel body out of the crowded workshop and onto the city wall.
He looked down.
A cannonball hit him squarely in the face, causing him to stagger. Fortunately, the damage was limited to that; these inferior shells, imitating the wisdom of a great god, were unable to harm the precision-engineered power armor.
Standing three and a half meters tall, with frontal armor a full twenty-five centimeters thick, its defensive capabilities could withstand a full-force attack from a level five bloodline user. Moreover, it was blast-proof, heat-resistant, freeze-proof, and resistant to disintegration. Such armor would have been unthinkable for Tak Talos in the past. But now, it was merely equipment mass-produced for elite soldiers. Even among elites, it was still mass-produced, only slightly superior to ordinary laser guns and disintegration guns. Logically, it didn't suit his status.
But who could blame him when his brother, Tar Talos, had his fortress captured in ten seconds by that Holy King, wasting a full 300,000 troops and enough supplies to sustain those troops for three months?
Therefore, war, war has never changed. Even in the era of the true god's descent into the world, this remains true.
Taco Talos steadied himself and continued to observe the battlefield. He saw knights clad in strange armor shouting maxims, smashing through chariots outside the city; he saw beauties with snake tails, bull horns, and dog ears tearing the earth apart and shattering the sky, killing every loyal warrior who tried to charge among them. He saw howling cannon fire raining down from the sky, only to be blocked by suddenly rising walls; he saw iron birds soaring through the heavens, charging in suicidal fashion with terrifying bombs… He saw a thin line that cleaved the battlefield in two distinct directions.
On one side, steel machinery and gunpowder; on the other, magical knights and... gunpowder.
boom!
A shell landed on the city wall. Fortunately, its explosive power wasn't compromised, and it detonated, shattering the automated gun emplacements on the wall. This seemed to be a signal; the power armored vehicles that were gradually ascending the wall received their final order—charge!
charge!
Destroy those galloping knights, destroy those backward and conservative soldiers, destroy those evil creations that are eroding their precious divine kingdom! Charge!!!
Tak Talos displayed martial arts skills and abilities befitting his former status. Although he no longer used the bloodline power he once prided himself on, he still wielded the power of machinery and steel with considerable proficiency, even though he knew it wouldn't actually save anything.
This is the final charge, a desperate gamble. If they can destroy those strange creations that interfere with the true god's power, then they might have a chance to catch their breath. But if they fail... no, there is no failure!
He is Tak Talos! The last Talos!
"I am war!!!"
Shouting the family motto, Tak Talos charged unstoppably to the front lines of the battlefield. His excellent battlefield skills allowed him to choose the best time and place. At this moment, this was the place with the fewest allied strongmen, and they were unable to provide support in the short term. The only ones blocking his way were a few level three bloodline individuals! They were no match for his all-out charge!
As he sped along at high speed, Tak Talos looked down at the canine bloodline user he was about to crush. Though the user was cute, this was a battlefield, and he would show no mercy.
Roar! ! !
The fifteen-meter-long red dragon charged forward at breakneck speed, managing to withstand the blow by using its head to block Tak Talos's heavy chain axe at the last moment. There was no other way; as a repeat offender who had repeatedly caused trouble, he was carrying the lives of his entire family on his shoulders as the bodyguard for these monster girls! If one of them died, one member of his family would die! And he would die first!
Therefore, even if it means risking everything by using dragon breath as a propulsion method and his head as a shield, he must block this attack!
This is the bond between him and his entire family!
Chapter 355: Unstoppable Momentum, the Legacy of the Elves
After receiving the unexpected news, the war intensified, no longer confined to the vicinity of the High Mountain Kingdom. Just as Zhuang Sen had predicted, the Holy Army began a multi-pronged attack, launching assaults on various countries from the air, water, and even underground. Each time they successfully breached a territory, they would forcibly convert ordinary people into Ferro people, creating the boundaries of the Ferro world, and then begin a 24/7 production run to keep up with the demands of the full-scale war.
Similarly, Zhuang Sen's Holy Salvation Alliance was not idle either, and launched an attack on the entire territory of the Holy Kingdom. Warriors like Dantalian, Lilith, and Serafina each led their own armies, with monster girls and gradually forming professional armies, equipped with technological weapons, rune equipment, and highly effective potions put together by logistics personnel such as Nia, Hana, and Zero. While they did not completely crush their opponents, they certainly held the advantage.
Zhuang Sen is essentially a one-man army, and his fighting style is quite simple. If he has the enhanced version of [Realm Descent], he'll first cover the opponent's area, then unleash a wide-area attack to clear the map. If he's already used it, he'll slowly plant monster girl lairs, then eliminate the Ferro people trying to destroy the lairs while waiting for the lairs' effects to completely cover the Ferro world, and then clear the map.
The only thing limiting Zhuang Sen and the monster girls' movement speed is the number of nest anchor points. Whether advancing or holding their ground, they need enough monster girl nests to cover the territory. Even though Zhuang Sen can now retrieve monster girl nests, the total number is still insufficient, since the Holy Church's territory has already been taken over by the Holy Salvation Alliance.
Yes, the Holy Kingdom is currently in retreat—to be honest, Johnson can't think of any reason why they shouldn't be.
In terms of quantity, quality, equipment, morale, and even external advantages, Zhuang Sen's side holds the upper hand. Quantity is self-evident; while Zhuang Sen's monster girls may not outnumber the Fero people, he still has the Fallen Star Kingdom, the Thousand Towers Kingdom, the High Mountain Kingdom, and his own Holy Demon Kingdom, along with their vassal states and city-states. The number he can mobilize far surpasses the Fero people, who still need to undergo a conversion. As for quality, setting aside the fragile nature of the ancient Fero people, even these mechanized, iron-clad creatures are no match for the "natives" who have generally undergone bloodline soldier modifications, professional training, or are even reverted to their ancestral forms as monster girls—they're simply too young to be true.
Morale is another story. Although the war prevented the use of powerful tools like tax cuts and land redistribution, the full pay and brand-new weaponry alone were enough to boost the morale of the feudal army. Furthermore, Zhuang Sen, through the power of the monster girls, ensured fair and just distribution of merit, eliminating the previously common practice of stealing and claiming credit, and guaranteeing the soldiers' promotion path. Finally, with the addition of the measures taken to improve their quality, Zhuang Sen's reputation within the entire Holy Salvation Alliance army is now absolutely at its maximum.
When the Holy King Zhuang Sen arrived, the blue sky appeared.JPG
As for equipment and cheat codes, needless to say. The Ferro people, who originally possessed airplanes, cannons, and even missiles, and could seal their bloodline power, should have been able to easily crush armies armed with melee weapons. However, putting aside the strength of the rune equipment and the counter-effects of the monster girl's lair, just consider the ancient technology that Zero and his robots had developed. Although it certainly couldn't compare to the black technology of the Ferro world, it was still an evolution from melee weapons to firearms, and they were no longer being absolutely crushed.
Especially now, in the world of Ferro—well, mainly because the world of Ferro has focused all its attention on eroding the world of monster girls, instead of continuing to advance its technology—even in the struggle for realms, it has clearly put on a show, focusing on stalling. Its goal isn't to win, but rather to waste more of Zhuang Sen's time.
