From the end of the world

Chapter 435: Zhuang Cheng's Blade 2
Schoolmate Xiao Qiao's eyes moved back and forth between the flaming sword and me.

I really didn't expect that the "Preacher" would take out a weapon engraved with my name at this critical juncture, and also said something about "mythological restraint relationship" and so on. In which mythology does the god "Zhuang Cheng" appear?

Also, because the two gods left behind stories of winning and losing in myths and legends, their powers have also formed a relationship of who restrains whom in reality. I have only seen such a setting in anime and games before. Is this really reasonable?
Although I had these thoughts subconsciously, I immediately understood the logic behind them. Of course, any familiar myths have nothing to do with me, but in the final analysis, myths tell stories about gods. Since I am the Great Impermanence, and am regarded as a god, then all the deeds I have left behind can be said to be myths.

As the Great Impermanence, the deeds I left behind have mysterious power, and so does the Fate Turbidity. According to this logic, the deed "I once defeated the Fate Turbidity" also has mysterious power.

Could it be that this "preacher" is my believer?

It seems not. Regardless of whether my followers exist in the Taoyuan Township organization, they would not secretly use this unfinished building as a crime scene or trap location. Moreover, as a so-called god, I can easily distinguish whether the person in front of me is my follower or not.

The reason why the other party could exert my power was probably because of the name engraved on the big knife. Lu Chan once told me that after I became the Great Impermanence, my name itself had become a powerful rune, and he, who was not a believer, had shown me the scene of using this rune.

Then it all makes sense.

However, although it all makes sense, I still want to say that this is all too ridiculous. Who would have thought that following my schoolmate here would lead to witnessing such a jaw-dropping scene? Also, the gazes behind me were a bit scorching.

Xiao Qiao, a junior student, asked tentatively, "Senior?"

"I'm here," I said.

"...Senior Zhuang Cheng?" Her voice was filled with disbelief.

"...I'm here," I said.

Xiao Qiao seemed to have not yet completely digested the surprise in her heart. She was mumbling as if she was in a dream, "Are you really the god that person said? But why didn't you tell me anything before...

"Eh? Then what about Xiaozhu, the senior's fiancée..."

Although Zhu Shi often complains that I am outspoken, no matter how thick-skinned I am, it is impossible for me to say "I am God" to a first-year schoolgirl whom I have only met once.

Obviously, the abnormalities on Zhu Shi were too numerous for Xiao Qiao to ignore. At the same time, the "Preacher" and Wu Chang did not stop. Before we exchanged a few words, the "Preacher" walked towards Wu Chang with a big knife in his hand, confident of victory.

At this point, Wuchang seemed to realize that his situation was hopeless, so he turned around and ran away, while the "Preacher" laughed and raised the big knife engraved with "runes" high up.

As he raised the rune sword, a huge sea of ​​fire rose on the field, and a huge fireball like the eye of God appeared in the sky. This scene evoked my past memories. This was the scene when I fought with Agent Kong. The action of the "Preacher" seemed to seduce the historical memory of this time and space.

This sea of ​​fire was just a vain historical illusion, and it did not emit any real high temperature. However, the countless phantom flames around it automatically gathered on the sword without any wind. It was like a large amount of firewood was injected, and the flames wrapped around the sword suddenly burst into flames.

"It's worth it that I chose this place for the battlefield. Here, I can call upon the remaining power of the gods..."

The Preacher breathed in the air greedily as if he was enjoying the atmosphere. At the same time, his eyes were fixed on the fleeing figure. Then, as if he was judging fate, he made a condescending judgment: "Do you still think you can escape? Just accept your fate and die under my 'Blade of Zhuang Cheng'."

Please don't name the knife after me. I don't really mind it though.

The "Preacher" swung his sword violently, and the flame turned into a giant sword energy that shot towards Wuchang.

With his sprinting speed, he could have escaped from the unfinished building in the time it took for the Preacher to gather his strength and talk nonsense, but he failed. It wasn't because his escape speed slowed down, nor was it because of any new changes in the venue, and there was no change that could be pointed out. For some reason, it was as if there was a bug in reality, and he just couldn't escape.

I can tell. If it were any other place, he would have probably escaped, but it was different here. Because this was a place where I had once exerted my power and it was a place of great significance to me, the weapon with my name engraved on it would receive a mysterious bonus.

When Wuchang, a believer of Mingzhu, clashed with the weapon, his fate would be locked. It would be fine if the power gap between them was large, but now both sides are at the same level, and this restraint is too fatal. Special location, special weapon, "defeat" has been engraved in Wuchang's fate in advance. No matter how realistic and logical he is to reverse the situation or escape, the result of defeat will befall him in a surreal way. Power that does not belong to you is a double-edged sword. If he had not summoned the power of Mingzhu to himself, he might have had a chance to win. To put it another way, if he could predict the opponent's strategy and trump card in advance based on this location, things might have been different. It's just that I am too young as the Great Wuchang, and the "myth" between me and Mingzhu is too new. He may not have thought that the other party would come up with such an idea for a while.

Although he is a believer of Mingzhu, I have no intention of watching him die under the sword of the "Preacher". Putting aside other things, I don't intend to let the "Preacher" who abuses my power recklessly get what he wants. The flame sword energy is ultimately my power. As soon as I thought about it, the flame sword energy judged Wuchang as a "friendly party".

However, surprisingly, when the flame sword energy hit Wuchang, an explosion still occurred there. Wuchang screamed in pain and flew backwards from the smoke and dust, his whole body burst into blood plasma, and then hit the load-bearing column next to him, fell to the ground, and was unconscious.

"Hey?"

Junior sister Xiao Qiao seemed to think that I would intervene, but when she saw the result, it seemed like I was just standing by and watching, and she showed a surprised expression.

I first felt the injury of Wuchang, and then said, "Don't worry, he's fine."

Junior sister Xiao Qiao nodded with a half-comprehending expression.

Actually, it's not like he's fine. The impermanence was seriously injured, but he won't die for the time being. I'll heal him later. But he was actually injured just now, which is really strange. I thought about the changes I just witnessed and analyzed it in my mind. I quickly analyzed the result and couldn't help but be speechless.

The problem probably wasn't with the flame sword energy, but with the life turbidity mana that descended on Wu Chang. Just now, when the flame sword energy came into contact with the life turbidity mana, the life turbidity mana went out of control. It was like a person who hated cockroaches being pounced on by a southern cockroach that spread its wings and flew up. Even if they knew it wouldn't cause any significant damage, they would still react violently.

Perhaps it is because the Fate Turbidity, which is the source of power, hates and fears me so much, so the magic power it descends upon is so stressful.

"What's going on...it feels weird."

The Preacher seemed to think that the victory result was different from what he had imagined, and then he seemed to have other guesses, "Could it be that the collision of the magic power of these two gods would have caused such a result? When encountering the power of Zhuang Cheng, would the power of life turbidity commit suicide?

"... Never mind, that's not important... Let's just go and deal the final blow first."

Although he said that, his eyes were still warily scanning the surroundings, perhaps because he was uneasy about the unknown changes that suddenly appeared on his battlefield. In the strange world, people with such qualities tend to live longer. And soon, he noticed Xiao Qiao.

The ordinary people around him who were persuaded and won over by him were either unconscious or unable to stand up due to the impact of the first wave of sound waves. It is very likely that in his cognition, the fact that those people did not die was unexpected enough, and Xiao Qiao was still standing well. An aggressive look appeared on his face, and he pointed the tip of the knife at Xiao Qiao.

"What's the matter with you?" he asked.

Xiao Qiao, a schoolmate, shrank back behind me and said timidly, “Wha…what?”

"What the hell are you—"

He spoke sharply, and then his eyes suddenly fell on me, because I had no intention of hiding any longer.

To be honest, I was just being talked about and showing off like that, and now I feel a little embarrassed to come out. It's not that I don't allow others to do that, but I just hope that I can be mentally prepared in advance next time. In fact, I am still very happy.

The Preacher's voice suddenly became louder and more dangerous: "Who are you again!?"

While asking loudly, he did not wait for my reply, and swung the so-called "Zhuang Cheng's Blade" without hesitation, shooting a huge flaming sword energy towards me.

"Extinguish."

As I finished my words, the huge flaming sword energy and the illusory sea of ​​fire that covered the entire floor disappeared simultaneously, as if a light-off button had been pressed.
