Just as Feng Bujue temporarily left the script…

A cataclysmic battle broke out beneath the Burst Tunnel.

Watching the leader of the demons slowly raise his right arm, Lute said calmly, without any expression, "Incomprehensible, belligerent creatures… and yet, they are regarded as gods."

"Laughable rhetoric." The Demon Lord sneered. "The so-called gods are transcendent beings. What do I care about the moral concepts and rational standards of the creatures beneath my feet? The will of the gods is truth, the actions of the gods are the standard. How can there be talk of incomprehensibility?" He extended the index finger of his right hand, its sharp tip pointing at Lute. "Like the Lord of Time, the Nether King of the Abyss, the Court of Truth… and you, Derivative. Each of you has your own set of positions and views, and each possesses a group of your own 'believers'. But in the final analysis… 'divinity' depends on power."

As he spoke, the tip of his finger erupted, and a black demonic flame shot out, heading straight for Lute.

This attack was at least three times stronger than the beam attack in y2-Radiance's final form. Although Lute was prepared, when the demonic flame howled toward her, she found herself unable to dodge and was suddenly struck.

"The worlds of those interdimensional travelers are full of lies," the Demon Lord murmured, staring at Lute, who was engulfed in demonic flames. "Because faith allows those lost, weak souls to gain a sense of security. Therefore, they created religions, created gods. But those… are ultimately just self-deceptive illusions. The contradictions between the various sects stem from nothing more than hypocritical justice and the struggle for power.

"And our world has similarities to theirs. Every god, every force, has its own unique philosophy, and there is no room for compromise. The only way to solve problems is through force.

"To put it simply… there is no 'god' in this world, or rather… every living being is their own 'god'."

At this moment, the demonic flames gradually dissipated, and Lute's voice sounded again, "I see…" Her body had been blasted into a semi-solid mercury-like state, and was now gradually recovering. "You mean… the standards of right and wrong are different for different wills… which makes 'ideals' meaningless." She paused. "Everything is chaos, only power is real. Therefore… the strong are gods."

"Heh heh heh…" The Demon Lord seemed to have anticipated that Lute wouldn't die so easily. He chuckled, "Very well, now this king will give you two choices." A strange light surged within his four demonic eyes. "First, get out of my territory. Second, disappear."

"Your words are also laughable." Lute had quickly returned to her original state, looking unscathed. "Although I can't exert my full power here… you have clearly overestimated your own capabilities." Her eyes flashed. "What makes you think I am weaker than you?"

Before she finished speaking, a pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky, enveloping the Demon Lord within.

…

Far away, on another battlefield.

"That is…" d1-Dragon raised his eyes and gazed into the distance, murmuring as he looked at the pillar of light in the night sky.

The brilliant burst of light reflected in his amber pupils, making them appear exceptionally bright. "Has it finally begun…"

"Tch… you still have the energy to look around…" In mid-air, Brahma advanced rapidly, a vortex of qi swirling in his palm. "Watch out for my palm strike!"

At this moment, d1-Dragon was surrounded, but his expression remained calm.

"Hm?" Dragon came back to his senses, glanced at Brahma, who was closing in, and coldly snorted, "You've stood up again?" With that, he waved his hand, and a curtain of flames spread out in the air. This casual move forced Brahma back.

"This guy is too strong… there's no way to see any opening." Vishnu thought to himself on the other side. "It was the same when we fought 'that kid' last time… the advantage in numbers is meaningless." He was already injured, so he stayed a little further away from the enemy, allowing him to observe the battle more clearly.

"This isn't going to work." Yama, positioned behind the opponent, was using the long whip in his hand to launch ranged strikes. "I can only try that…"

Thinking of this, she seemed to have made up her mind, suddenly turned around, and retreated dozens of meters. Then, she leaped lightly up the exterior wall of a building several times, reaching a high point.

"Boss!" After standing firm, Yama shouted loudly.

These four gods had been cooperating for many years, and their tacit understanding was beyond doubt. They were also very familiar with each other's skills, items, and so on. Therefore, without words, Shiva already understood that Yama was preparing to use "that move."

"Leave it to us!" Shiva's eyes swept across the faces of Brahma and Vishnu, and the two also understood.

The three immediately dispersed and made their respective moves.

"Are you going to make those insignificant attacks again?" d1-Dragon looked indifferently at the changes before him. To him, no matter what these four did, it would not be enough to pose a threat. The only reason he had let the battle continue until now was because he wanted to capture these players alive. If he intended to finish the battle quickly, he could kill these four heavenly kings of the gods in a minute.

"There's a limit to looking down on people!" Brahma had been holding back his anger since the start of the battle, and seeing an opportunity to win, he was naturally very excited.

He stomped forward, concentrated his energy, and shouted, activating his title ability.

About five meters away from Dragon, Brahma raised his arms high, opened his palms, and slammed them down.

Boom! The heavy blow did not attack d1-Dragon, but struck the ground directly.

Although the power of this move, [Landmine Tremor], was not very great, its hit rate was extremely high. If the opponent was unprepared, it would be almost impossible to avoid.

As expected, d1-Dragon felt a huge force coming from the ground beneath his feet, causing the qi and blood in his body to surge. The feeling at that moment was as if he had fallen from a great height and his feet had touched the ground. Even he almost lost his balance and fell backward.

However, Dragon's childlike physique gave him an advantage at this moment. Because his weight was light and his center of gravity was low, he only took a half step back before stabilizing himself.

"Hmph… still just a petty trick…" Before the last word could be uttered, a black shadow had already reached Dragon's face.

It was a fist as thick as an elephant's hoof, cast in bronze, and its controller was none other than Vishnu.

In the blink of an eye, at the same second that the giant fist blocked d1-Dragon's vision, Shiva had used his maximum speed to rush to Dragon's side.

"What? Do you still want to try directly touching my body?" Dragon calmly turned his head, looking at Shiva, who was an inch away from him.

The scattered long hair in front of Shiva's forehead could not hide his pair of beast-like, sharp eyes. "Isn't it just a little hot?" He replied in a gloomy tone, then grabbed out with one arm, seizing d1-Dragon's shoulder.

Then, there was a sizzling sound…

This was the sound made when Shiva's hand touched Dragon's shoulder. His entire hand was like grilled meat thrown on an iron plate, sizzling and smoking. The front half of his sleeve was also burned to ashes in an instant.

"Feels like touching lava…" Shiva glared at the opponent, muttering fiercely, "What a rare experience…"

"Hmph… this is what you call 'going all out'…" Dragon sneered, and with a backhand strike, lightly sent Shiva, the current second-ranked fighter on the combat power list, flying out.

Without regard for the life or death of their leader, Vishnu quickly controlled the bronze giant hand and took advantage of the situation to strike with a punch.

"This kind of thing… I can handle with one finger…" Dragon's words stopped abruptly, because he suddenly realized that something was wrong…

Dong—

Accompanied by a strange striking sound, d1-Dragon flew into the sky like a struck baseball.

"Tch… [Weightless Contact], huh…" Dragon spat in a disgruntled tone.

Under the effect of Shiva's [Weightless Contact], although the bronze giant fist failed to cause any damage to Dragon, it caused his body to uncontrollably fly into the sky.

"These three guys, at all costs, cooperated to get me into the air, what is…" Dragon quickly realized that something was wrong, he immediately lowered his head and quickly searched.

Sure enough, when Yama's figure entered his vision…
