Chapter 1 Long Robes

Kacha Kacha—

More than ten arms extended from beneath the long robes of the Truth-Sider, each twisting grotesquely, releasing different spells.

Accelerated fall, amplified gravity, concealment of truth, powerful dimensional anchor, spell absorption, reinforced barrier...

The colorful halos of spells enveloped the star-stuff cocoon, strengthening it and weakening Yahweh, who was "bound" within, as much as possible.

Behind the head of the Truth-Sider, eight oval fish tanks filled with a ghostly blue liquid appeared.

These fish tanks contained the purest soul energy, which could be used to replenish the spiritual energy that was burning at an exaggerated rate every second.

Boom!

The sonic boom exploded. The Uncontrolled One, missing an arm, followed above the star-stuff cocoon, pounding the dark cocoon containing the deity with punch after punch, knocking it downwards.

His power release was extremely precise, ensuring that the star-stuff cocoon accelerated its descent without damaging the cocoon itself, increasing the consumption of his teammates.

However—

Buzz!

A beam of intense light shot out from within the layers of star-stuff cocoon,

The Truth-Sider's body suddenly stiffened.

The water level in the eight oval fish tanks behind him dropped by one-sixth simultaneously.

The huge amount of soul energy, enough for tens of thousands of people and enough to level an entire modern city, was easily consumed in this one strike.

Even worse, the light beam cannon pierced through the Uncontrolled One's shoulder, extending along his collarbone and tearing open his neck.

The Uncontrolled One's body instantly lost momentum and was swept into the sky by the aftershock of the light beam cannon.

Sha Sheng Yuan waved the Turbulent Current Dagger and flashed to chase after the Uncontrolled One's remains.

But the top of the star-stuff cocoon was being torn apart bit by bit by the light beam cannon.

"Kui Niu!"

Ding Zhen Si roared. Pitch-black flesh and blood suddenly extended from the joints of the Mountain-Sea mecha, instantly covering the metal parts, causing the Kui Niu mecha to expand more than three times its size, becoming a ten-meter-tall half-alien beast, half-mechanical form.

Boom!

The Kui Niu mecha, or rather Kui Niu itself, stretched out its hands and covered the hole at the top of the star-stuff cocoon, forcibly blocking the light beam cannon.

At the same time, the vector nozzles on the back of the mecha sprayed flames with all their might, carrying the star-stuff cocoon down rapidly.

Buzz buzz—

One beam, two beams.

More and more small beams of light tore openings in the surface of the star-stuff cocoon.

The powerful demon qi on the surface of the Kui Niu's body was unable to stop the deadly light beams that leaked through, and more than ten wounds instantly appeared on its body.

Seeing this, the Ant King gritted his teeth and ordered all the ant swarms to rush towards and block the cracks in the star-stuff cocoon like moths to a flame.

The ant swarms, whose individual strength was at most equivalent to that of second-tier players, were completely vulnerable to the light beams. However, when the ant swarms were melted by the light beams, their flesh showed a gel-like texture, buying three seconds for the others.

This three-second gap was enough for the Truth-Sider to retrieve more soul energy from the void, maintain the precarious star-stuff cocoon, and for Huang Shi to take over from Ding Zhen Si, pushing the star-stuff cocoon to accelerate downwards.

Forty thousand meters, thirty thousand meters, twenty thousand meters.

The extremely rapid fall even caused the bottom of the star-stuff cocoon to turn a dark red color from the high temperature.

Finally, ten thousand meters, they had arrived.

The Truth-Sider drew the last bit of soul energy from the fish tank and forcibly controlled the star-stuff cocoon to open a gap downwards.

He already knew through the mind link that Hohenheim was ready.

More importantly, as the distance between them narrowed, the Source-Draining Gaze link that Hohenheim had torn apart before was further strengthened, continuously drawing energy from Yahweh.

Now was the time.

On the ground, a strong light bloomed in Hohenheim's eyes. He tore up the second epic scroll and chanted the barbaric incantation.

[Skill Scroll Name: Annihilation Singularity]

[Attribute: Consumable, disappears after one use]

[Type: Arcane]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: Annihilates all things. The caster recites the incantation, offers sacrifices, and then designates a target, instantly creating a singularity as a new plane near the target. This singularity will generate a root-level suction force on the target (regardless of what the target is), as well as the items attached to the target. If the target is absorbed into the singularity, the singularity will instantly disappear, and all the matter absorbed by the singularity will disappear forever]

[Cost: 1000 Spirit Power points, 2000 Sanity points, 2000 Stamina points, all attributes permanently decreased by 10 points]

[Cooldown Time: None]

[Usage Condition: Possess the 'Legendary Mage Certificate']

[Note: The more sacrifices offered, the stronger the singularity effect]

[Note: The annihilated target will not retain any traces. Neither resurrection spells, advanced restoration spells, wish spells, miracle spells, nor any spells that reverse time can recall the target or its carried items]

[Note: You know? The matter that constitutes you, me, and everything in the world originally came from a stellar eruption in the cosmic furnace. And we will all eventually return to the event horizon, merging into a single point, regardless of whether there was love or hate]

Along with the sound of the scroll being torn, the Book of Sand in Hohenheim's hand burst into flames.

In order to maximize the formation of the annihilation singularity, he directly sacrificed several items, including the Book of Sand.

And the others, who had already learned about the situation with the singularity from the psionic network, dispersed in an instant, while also throwing items into the magic circle beneath Hohenheim's feet.

Bi An Armor, Kui Niu Mecha, Knight's Lance, Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Star Chart...

The unprecedented magic circle, composed of thousands of extremely complex rune rings nested together, slowly rotated and finally opened.

Thus, the moment Yahweh walked out of the collapsing star-stuff cocoon, a black dot, as tiny as dust, appeared in front of him.

That dot was as black as ink... or rather, the term "black" was incorrect.

It had no color of its own, but because it had terrifying gravity, even light could be absorbed, so it appeared dark and deep.

The air was instantly drawn away, even light was distorted. The 200,000-meter-high towering tree creaked. A huge amount of bark and wood forcibly detached from the trunk and flew towards the singularity.

And this was only the aftershock of the singularity—the infinite gravity it emitted was mainly aimed at Yahweh.

"..."

The expressionless Semitic god hovered in mid-air. He seemed to realize the threat of the black light spot that was constantly expanding in front of him, raised his palm, and wiped it towards the front.

Light.

Endless light enveloped the world.

Light rain descended from the sky, falling towards the annihilation singularity.

Any object that even slightly touched the light rain, whether it was the lush canopy of the towering tree, or the metal armor of the Kui Niu mecha, all cracked and shattered, turning into light smoke.

However, the singularity, bombarded and washed by the light rain, still hovered in place, stable and quiet, surrounded by a halo of light condensed from rapidly rotating light.

That was the event horizon. Once you stepped into it, there was no turning back.

Clang—

The time limit for the Source-Draining Gaze had arrived. The gray line link that had been drawing on Yahweh's origin finally broke.

Yahweh, who had regained his strength, did not deal with the annoying insects that had caused his predicament (in fact, all the players had fled to extremely distant places the moment the singularity formed, either digging into the ground or clinging to the tree trunks, trying their best to resist the singularity's terrifying gravity).

Instead, he raised his arms.

Buzz!!!!

A sun-like beam of light burst out from Yahweh's arms, pushing him backwards.

One meter, two meters...

The two sides silently contended in the high sky. Yahweh was gradually breaking free from the singularity's gravity and was gradually moving away from the pitch-black singularity.

Could even a black hole not be able to do anything to him?

Despair appeared on the faces of Hohenheim and the others on the ground. Once the annihilation singularity absorbed enough of the origin equivalent to the target, it would disappear on its own.

The chances of victory for mortals were rapidly declining.

"Huff... huff..."

Ten thousand meters away, Huang Shi, whose claws were deeply embedded in the mud to resist the gravity of the black hole, watched Yahweh gradually break free from the singularity's constraints, his vision gradually blurring.

As expected, mortal life could not contend with a god...

Then there was only the last way left.

Huang Shi smiled miserably. The demon qi in his abdomen slowly circulated, rapidly digesting the flesh and blood of the Saint that he had swallowed in the giant's body during the Battle of Fate.

The divinity from the mess of gods and saints rushed left and right in his body, causing the skin on Huang Shi's body to crack and shatter, as if he was about to collapse and disintegrate in the next second.

Fortunately, he was not dead yet.

Several souls floated behind Huang Shi. His loyal demon generals, even after death, entrusted their souls to him, willing to turn into chang gui (souls of those who have died at the hands of tigers that haunt the tigers, forever enslaved).

The demon generals' souls offered Huang Shi the last bit of their faith, helping him digest the chaotic divinity in his abdomen.

Finally, it condensed in Huang Shi's mouth.

Pure energy, fused with countless divinities, was about to burst out.

Huang Shi merely opened his mouth, causing the rock layer beneath his feet to sink several meters out of thin air.

"Roar!!!"

Finally, the earth collapsed and the dome was torn apart. The lion's roar, integrated with countless divinities, roared towards Yahweh's direction from a distance of ten thousand meters.

This roar exhausted the energy in Huang Shi's body. His eyes rapidly faded, losing their luster. His originally strong and sturdy beast body fell forward like a candle in the wind, almost failing to grab the ground and being caught by the singularity's gravity from afar.

Was he successful...?

The sudden blurring of his vision prevented Huang Shi from seeing what was happening ten thousand meters away.

Even when a sharp sword pierced through his chest, it took him a full two seconds to react—his chest had been pierced from top to bottom by a fiery sword.

And standing on his back, the culprit who was about to kill him with his eyes bursting with endless anger, was an angel.

Silver helmet and silver armor, bearing six wings, a halo above his head, holding a sword of fire.

Michael?

No, not Michael.

Huang Shi's sluggish mind recognized the other party's appearance. It was the angel named Gabriel, who had appeared in the Mo Kui world.

Gabriel waved the Sword of Fire, cutting Huang Shi's body in half at the waist.

Huang Shi did not die immediately, although his heart was already swallowed by despair—accompanying the dome's shattering and descent were not only Gabriel, but also six other seraphim with six wings.

One of them blocked the lion's roar for Yahweh, his body instantly captured and swallowed by the singularity's gravity, disappearing without a trace.

Was that... Remiel?

The name of that angel flashed through Huang Shi's mind.

There were a total of seven angels falling from the broken dome: Gabriel, Wuriel, Raphael, Raguel, Saliel, Remiel, and... Michael from Earth.

They all had the same six wings and halos. The only difference was that Michael's six wings were tattered and full of deep sword marks on his silver armor.

"A blasphemer who betrayed the faith!"

The angel trampling on Huang Shi's back roared at Michael, "Did you stall us just to let this group of insects harm and desecrate your creator?!"

"..."

The heavily injured Michael responded to the other party's rebuke with silence. With the arrival of the six-winged archangels, the infinite light they emitted suppressed the darkness of the annihilation singularity.

Although the singularity itself still could not be destroyed, as long as enough origin was poured into it, there would still be a moment when it was satisfied and dissipated.

The singularity's gravity towards Yahweh was slowly decreasing.

"Why... do you still believe in him?"

Michael stared at his nominal angel "compatriots" and slowly asked, "He no longer has personality and self, but is just an empty shell with only an appearance.

The reason for choosing and inspiring us is not the fatherly love of the creator,

But just... the instinct of a virus."

"Shut up!"

A six-winged angel sternly rebuked, "He is our God, our Father, the One, the Everything, the Beginning, and the End.

Born in different worlds, we were born to fight for him,

In order to let billions of worlds and trillions of people bathe in his glory.

There will no longer be those dirty and fallen wild gods and old gods to hinder us.

Our creator sacrificed everything in order to win this war,

And you were bewitched by depravity, sinking into an immeasurable abyss, and should fall into the sea of fire to suffer eternal torment."

"Unable... to communicate..."

Michael was silent for a moment, and the past of his life flashed through his mind.

She should have been a faithful servant of God. In this life, her previous life, and even thirty lives ago, she was God's most dazzling warrior.

But, compared to fighting for God for thousands of years, scattering fire rain on those billions of heretics who were unwilling to submit to God and obediently offer their faith,

She preferred to immerse herself in this life, even without powerful strength, even if she was just an ordinary girl born in a terraced farmhouse on a hillside in Corsica.

Clang.

Michael took off his silver helmet and casually threw it on the ground, revealing a face with a peaceful expression beneath the helmet.

Then, she flapped her wings and began to sprint towards Yahweh.

The six wings burned fiercely, and the Sword of Fire in her hand blazed fiercely, burning everything.

The other six-winged angels realized her intention, and Gabriel did not even have time to cut off the head of this blasphemous Huang Shi. He directly flapped his wings and collided with Michael.

Boom!!!!

Infinite light and heat rose in the center of the collision.

The players who had run out of energy and were staying on the ground had to lower their bodies to avoid the shock wave that destroyed all obstacles.

A thousand meters to the side of Yahweh,

Michael's Sword of Fire smashed onto Gabriel's Sword of Fire, causing the latter's body to tremble violently, almost collapsing and disintegrating.

And as the price, the wings on her back were all cut off by the other archangels, revealing pure white bone stubs.

"This is... the fate of a blasphemer."

Gabriel, whose body was trembling and about to dissipate, coldly stared at his former angel colleague.

And Michael smiled, "This is... our fate."

She swung the Sword of Fire violently. The fiery sword tore a bright curtain of light in the air.

That was... a stargate.

The players on the ground, and even the angels including Gabriel, watched in disbelief as the stargate unfolded in an instant, and a figure flashed out from it.

Su Ni Sheng.

Her expression was still calm and serene. Her left hand clutched a blood-stained broadsword, and her right hand held a long sword that was constantly changing shape like purple lightning.

Now, there were no more obstacles between her and Yahweh.

One slash, one sword.

Su Ni Sheng slashed at Yahweh. The purple-red light burst out along the swords and collided with the light beam cannon in Yahweh's hand, making up for the last push.

Yahweh was swallowed by the annihilation singularity.

Clang.

The annihilation singularity disappeared instantly, leaving only the sky-filled gale that had suddenly lost its gravitational constraints, slowly dissipating.

The players present blankly looked at the rapidly changing situation in the high sky.

The archangels stared blankly at the place where the singularity had dissipated.

Gabriel's pale face, along with his helmet, cracked, and a line of texture appeared. He looked at Michael in despair and fury, "How dare you, how dare you?!"

He swung his sword heavily, but the hundred-meter-long Sword of Fire failed to cut Michael in half—Su Ni Sheng, who had flashed over, grabbed Michael with one hand and retreated to a safe distance.

Judging from the energy fluctuations alone, the archangels, comparable to Michael, were still much stronger than Su Ni Sheng and the miserable Michael combined.

Su Ni Sheng's slash and sword were not without a price. Her pale, dislocated arm was the best proof.

However, all of this was meaningless, wasn't it?

The god had disappeared, and the archangels' grand plan to destroy and eliminate all the wild gods and old gods had also vanished.

No one could use the World Tree to control the giant's body.

It would never be possible to realize the dream of billions of worlds, one god, one voice, and the harmonious unity of all living beings.

Gabriel's wings drooped down in despair, and the pure white feathers fell and disintegrated. Two thousand years of accumulated planning in thirty lives had still come to an end...

No! Wait!

Gabriel, who was so infinitely desperate that he wanted to use a self-explosion to destroy these blasphemers, suddenly stopped all actions and looked up in disbelief at the unknown place where the annihilation singularity had disappeared.

Crack, crack.

Space shattered like a spider web.

A huge, sky-covering black curtain slowly opened in the high sky.

A monster too large to imagine crawled out of the black curtain.

Its surface was flawless white, emitting a sacred and majestic aura, and it was difficult to describe its shape with specific words—it was changing shape every moment, and every moment, faces, limbs, and eyes flashed across its surface.

From the outside, this deformed, terrifying monster was undoubtedly unrelated to holiness.

However, it really was emitting a sacred and pure aura that encompassed everything and treated everything with kindness.

This was the essence of the gods. Gods ruled over people, transcended people, and depended on people. When the gods abandoned their self-existence and completely accommodated all the thoughts of billions of living beings, they would become the existence above all things.

"Ah—"

The white monster fell out of the black curtain and smashed out a giant meteorite crater on the ground.

It roared to the sky, and countless faces on its surface screamed at the same time.

Buzz—

Thousands of sky-piercing beams of light lit up in the vast space.

Tens of thousands of four-winged and two-winged angels descended here—they were covered in blood stains left over from successive fierce battles, sacred and bloodthirsty.

"Because the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns... The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever... King of kings and Lord of lords."

Gabriel stared at the giant white monster crawling out of the black curtain with tears in his eyes. Before the tears in his eyes could fall, they were evaporated by the high temperature emitted by the Sword of Fire.

As expected, the creator would always be above the world.

All the wild gods and old gods, and their endless expanding ambitions, would be swallowed by the creator's wrath.

The wild gods and old gods would no longer be able to launch plane wars for the power of faith, causing countless lives to be ruined and tragedies to occur.

Billions of worlds, one god, one voice!!!

Compared to Gabriel's endless joy, the players on the ground fell into infinite despair.

It seemed that the annihilation singularity could only tear Yahweh's first layer of clothing, making him unable to walk in the world in a conventional form.

And what means could they, who were exhausted, use to stop the five archangels and the god who had revealed his true appearance.

"..."

Su Ni Sheng, who was hovering in mid-air, still had no expression on her face. She silently held the purple lightning sword and handed the blood-stained broadsword to Michael next to her—the Sword of Fire in the latter's hand had been bent and broken in the previous slash, making it difficult to use.

"Did we still... lose?"

Michael silently took the blood-stained broadsword and said faintly, "If we retreat back to the real world, Shenlong, Hanba, the Professor, you, me, plus Akiri, can we do it?"

Su Ni Sheng naturally knew that Michael was referring to killing Yahweh. She calmly shook her head, "The World Tree is still there. If we withdraw, he will get the final reward for the Battle of Fate.

At that time, even with everyone, we will not be able to stop him..."

Suddenly, Su Ni Sheng's words stopped. She suddenly looked up at the back of the canopy layer of the dome.

There, something was approaching.

Rumble!!!

The thirty-thousand-meter-thick dome suddenly shattered.

A red and black Zerg nest mothership with a drill installed on its bow broke through the dome's rock layer and drilled out of the canopy diagonally.

On top of it stood a figure in a white coat.

Li Yi was stepping in front of the drill, his arms crossed in front of his chest, with a dragon head mask slanting on his head, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if to say—

"Haha, everyone has been chatting so much?"
