Apocalypse: System of lotteries

The battlefield erupted in cheers as the horde of serpent-monster zombies was finally eradicated. 

Christina approached the man in the blood-stained white coat, "Thank you~"

Ming\'s gaze lingers on the warrior woman. He had witnessed her relentless fury in battle, each slash of her blade ending the life of a serpent monster effortlessly. Then he said, "You should rest for a while. If there are more zombie hordes, I can handle them."

"It\'s okay~"

Christina shook her head, her gaze trained on the shadows stretching out across the distant streets. "I can still fight."

Ming also shook his head. This woman was a liability.

Swoosh~~

Suddenly, a strong wind carrying the stench of blood swept over everyone\'s faces. Then, from the darkness in the distance, rustling sounds came, like a group of people talking.

"Ah~ So many of my descendants are dead~"

"Don\'t be sad, you\'ll feel better after eating these humans."

"I want to tear open their chests and take out their hot hearts."

"I want the liver, the liver is more delicious~"

"As always, I want the brain, nice and warm~"

"Enough, stop talking. Don\'t let them hear us~"

"Hey, your saliva dripped into my mouth, it\'s stinky~"

"Is it? Taste it again and tell me what kind of stink, I\'ll change it."

"I want those women, I want those women."

"..."

Ming and the others collectively turned toward the source of the sounds, their eyes fixed on the darkness ahead.

Swoosh~~

Then, a head as big as a truck tire, with disheveled hair, sneaked out from the corner of the street like a thief. It revealed a pale face, with red lips, heavy makeup, a pointed chin, and a pair of orange eyes looking at everyone, before hastily withdrawing.

A muffled, excited chatter emanated from the dark corner, giving way to another grotesque head sneaking a peek from behind a nearby building.

"Oh my, they\'re looking at me. I\'m so shy~"

"Are there any good-looking ones? It\'s been a long time since I\'ve tasted good-looking ones."

"Let me have a look too~"

"…"

Then, another head stretched out from the side of a building, its thick and short neck covered with snake scales. Under its messy hair was a gaunt, sallow face. It tilted its head, facing everyone with a pair of orange eyes. It grinned, revealing a set of uneven, sharp yellow teeth, then extended its long tongue, licked its lips, and retracted its head.

"Oh my god, it\'s been so long since there were this many people~ I\'m so excited."

"You make me want to see it too."

"So annoying, let\'s all go out together!"

"Let\'s go, let\'s go~~"

"..."

Ming twisted his neck, to be honest, he was somewhat prepared.

The "Yamata no Orochi": snake body, nine heads, human faces. Nine heads, representing nine people perhaps? Nine people?

Christina gripped her twin blades tightly, stealing a glance at the man beside her. What was up with the curling corners of his mouth, full of smiles?

Did those two ugly heads actually excite you?

"I\'m coming out~"

"It\'s us!"

"..."

Swoosh~

A massive, coiling serpent slithered forth from the darkness, its underbelly a pallid white contrasted by dark green scales. eight pairs of orange eyes shimmering. In the middle of all that, a pair of golden eyes lit up.

The snake\'s body was enormous! Standing upright, it was over 10 meters tall. Its body was robust! With a diameter of 5 meters, as it moved, its nine tousled heads writhed and swayed, each face unique.

Gaunt and sallow, rouge lips, fiercely evil, pointed chin and cheeks, cunning and slick, smiling yet treacherous, wicked and hideous, violent and monstrous, The monstrous snake weaved through the scattered fires on the street, the flames receding in its wake. The golden eyes, shining brightest amidst the eight pairs of orange eyes, surveyed the defenders, a cruel anticipation simmering within.

"Holy... hell!"

The sight of the gargantuan creature sent waves of fear through the crowd of defenders. Some began to back away, the instinct to survive propelling them towards flight.

"Those who retreat will die!"

Punicov, brandishing his knife, positioned himself at the rear of the group, his gaze sweeping over those gripped by panic and terror. He didn\'t want to be this ruthless, especially toward people he had just been fighting alongside.  I think you should take a look at

But he had to. If one person retreated and fled, it could trigger more to do the same, causing a collapse without a fight. It was fight or die! From his many years of military experience, he knew this clearer than anyone.

Ming used his "Eagle Eye" to check:

"~"

The creature before him was quite different from the Yamata no Orochi knew from the myths. The legendary beast was enormous, capable of swallowing nine hills in a single gulp. The monster now before him, however, appeared to struggle to even swallow nine people. Perhaps this wasn\'t its true form?

Would it transform like Frank?

"Boss, I\'m a bit scared."

Mike, standing on one side, whispered.

Alan glared, "Hold it in."

Ming turned around to whisper something to Alice and Digennaro, both of whom nodded in response.

Swoosh~

At this moment, the Yamata no Orochi stopped in front of everyone. Its nine heads dispersed, staring at the more than two thousand people before them. The gaunt, sallow head stretched forward, "Let me introduce us, we are Yamata no Orochi, and we want to eat people today."

"We\'re not humans, you might want to look elsewhere," Ming responded nonchalantly, feigning helplessness.

"…"

Everyone behind him was taken aback at the same time.

The two women behind Ming kicked his heel subtly - a sign they were ready.

"…"

The heads of the Yamata no Orochi drew back in unison, their expressions reflecting surprise. After a brief exchange, the head bearing a treacherous smile leaned forward. "It seems you want to die..."

Slap!

Before it could finish, Ming leaped up and landed a solid slap across its face. Without missing a beat, Alice and Digennaro sprung into action.

David turned around and shouted, "Close your eyes!"

Having learned from before, everyone promptly closed their eyes and covered their faces.

Alice shouted, "Shine!"

Hum——

A bright white light surged, turning the city into daylight with her at the center. The nine heads of the Yamata no Orochi quickly leaned back, closing all eighteen eyes.

"Good!" Ming was pleasantly surprised. He hadn\'t expected Alice\'s skill to be so effective. Meanwhile, Digennaro suddenly opened her eyes, two golden beams erupting from her pupils and striking the Yamata no Orochi directly.

Yamata no Orochi evil defense value -300.

"..."

Such a small damage figure?

The good news is, it can break the evil defense!

"Everyone, unleash all your skills and retreat!" Ming shouted, adding, "Hand over all your best equipment to Digennaro!"

Rumble——

A wave of spiritual skills crashed onto the Yamata no Orochi, a barrage of crossbow arrows, fireballs, ice cones, rocks, vines, spikes, and... stinky eggs...

"..."

Ming looked at the talented individual who had thrown the stinky eggs, and couldn\'t help but give him a thumbs up.  Truly, everyone\'s skills were unique.

Everyone retreated immediately after throwing, and at this point, the Yamata no Orochi recovered. Its nine faces faced Ming, "Despicable! You really aren\'t human!"
