Secret World: I Became a God Through Lies

Chapter 232 The Moment of the Wheel-Slaying - My Fate is My Own
Behind the gods, fate is at work;
But behind fate, there must be a man wielding a knife.

Two colossal figures roared, tore, and entangled endlessly in the shrine plaza, divine flames and blood flames intertwining, like the sun and moon clashing in the center of a battlefield, tearing through the night.

The battle between the Nine-Tailed Fox King and the Eight-Tailed False God was no longer a simple clash of power.

Rather, it is a "divine showdown" in another sense—a divine legitimation ceremony to vie for the "Throne of the Fox."

Amidst the scorched earth left by this divine war, two figures moved silently among the shadows and runes that marked the ground.

Like a sword yet to be drawn, its killing intent is already sharp—a "double-edged sword that can kill."

Xinna and Serian, one on the left and one on the right, are like mirror images lurking on the edge of the melee.

They didn't need words; a single glance was enough for them to reach a tactical consensus.

The next moment, Si Ming tumbled and rolled in the distance, the playing cards exploding between his fingers.

Three cards in quick succession.

Burning, sluggish, and disruptive!
The card's trajectory resembled a snake, striking Minako's eight-tailed tail in unison, forcing her to retract her fox flames for defense and interrupting her suppression of the nine-tailed fox.

"Is there any way to break the wheel of fate behind her?!" Si Ming roared, his voice torn apart by the cursed fire and almost inaudible in the flames.

That "Wheel of Fate" is the structural core of No. 1984, "Reverse Seal Altar - Amaterasu Flame," and the essence of a high-level fate-based technique.
Like the sun hanging behind the throne, it burned, spun, and spewed forth the fire of divine law, firmly sealing off everyone's "right to rewrite the ending".

This is not fate, it's a prison.

Nobuna smiled.

She slowly straightened up from the shadows, her black hair flying wildly with the flames. Her eyes held not anger, but an absolute, irreversible resolve.

Are you... looking down on me?

She chuckled softly, her voice carrying a chilling undertone.

"Mr. Gambler from the Mysterious Garden".

"—I am the 'Godslayer Bloodline' of the Imperial Divine Academy."

She raised her right arm.

Ten stars of reason ignite simultaneously on the destiny chart!

boom! ! !
The Star of Flame, using its life runes as a furnace, erupted from her body as a crimson celestial ring, burning through her witch's robes and leaving chain-like runes on her skin.

Each curse mark shimmered with a soul-scorching light, as if her body itself were a "divine judgment mechanism".

She raised the main secret card:

【No. 10088 "The Former Demon - The Destroyer of Hell"】

"Former Demon—using my flesh and blood as a shell, you have granted me—the power to slay gods!!!"

The roar was like the world being torn apart!

The ground cracked instantly, the energy of heaven and earth reversed, and Xin Nai's figure swelled three times in size amidst a roar!
Half-ghost form unlocked!
Chain-like blood and flesh patterns unfolded on his shoulders and back, his left hand held a boiling blood blade, and his right hand held a burning "Life Soul Brush" with five fingers.

She is both a war demon and a judge of history.

They are the "judges" who determine the crimes of the gods!
"Dual Writing of Life and Soul - Unsealed!"

She simultaneously activated the secondary Mystic Card:
【No. 10089 "The Ghost After the Death - The Fading Light"】

[Mysterious Entry - Soulbook Rename] Activated!
In the night sky theater illuminated by flames, she picked up her pen and began to write!

"One stroke to write the soul, two strokes to change fate—the third stroke, to sever your divine wheel."

With a stroke of her pen, she wrote a word burning with cursed flames—

— “Broken”.

"Rename your Soul Book and give you one more chance to 'reincarnate'!"

The talismanic flames soared, striking directly at the Wheel of Fate!
The light on the Wheel of Fate suddenly went out, delaying the spell!
"Break!"

She roared, her fury like thunder!

"Target attack opportunity cancelled, 24-hour cooldown!!"

The spinning wheel suddenly stopped!
She leaped into the air in her ghostly form, her Hell Fang Greatsword trailing a trail of bloody light over ten meters long!
"Slay— Annihilate—!!!"

The demonic blade cleaved down like lightning, severing the root of destiny and crashing into the core of the Amaterasu Flame's life wheel!
"boom!!!"

The divine throne trembled violently, and the wheel of destiny shattered!
A scream that defied description ripped from Minako's mouth!

"You dare—you dare to take my life!!!"

"Why wouldn't I dare?!"

Shina roared in response!

"You are not God, you are sin!"

"I am Mijinin Nobuna—I was born to wield a sword for a delusional god like you!!!"

She unleashed a furious second strike!

The wheel of fate has completely broken, and the power of the curse has collapsed!
Divine flames suddenly descended, and the spell went out of control.

From the Amaterasu Lifefire to the Divine Throne Array, Minako's meticulously woven entire structure of destiny finally collapsed!
The fox-faced mask exploded.

The divine face that had been obscuring her features shattered during the violent tremor, revealing the scorched, steel-and-flesh-and-blood "human shell" beneath.

That was—the face of Minako Mishinin.

No—you can't—you're just pawns!

"I am God!! I am the one!!!"

She roared, her divine fire raged, and her eight tails trembled violently as she attempted to reconstruct the spell.

But behind her, a colossal figure was already poised to strike.

Nine-Tailed Fox Lord – Tu Long.

Xiao Lianyin stood atop the Nine-Tailed Fox, her gaze icy, a cold smile playing on her lips. She was no longer the alluring queen, but the condemned Heavenly Lord.

"Tamamonomae?"

"You think that possessing eight tails allows you to impersonate a god?"

"You are nothing but a fox who doesn't know its place."

She parted her red lips slightly, her smile sharp as a blade.

The nine tails fell like a fiery mountain, causing the sky to collapse!
The tail strike pierced the air, forcefully crushing the Eight-Tails to the ground!

Minako roared in retaliation, and the Eight-Tails went berserk!
Three tails were severed, and the remaining five tails twisted back and attacked!

Amaterasu's divine fire blazed again, attempting to break through the suppression!
But—it failed!

The core of Amaterasu is damaged, and the Wheel of Destiny is shattered!
She lost her "divine right"!
Her foxfire, like a flickering flame on paper, was weak, fragmented, and swaying, before being swallowed up by the flames of the nine tails.

The false god on the throne——

Her tail was tightly entangled!
Her flame was suppressed into a dying ember!
Her divine right, at this moment—

It's invalid!

—At this moment, the false god could no longer take flight.

She was completely pinned to the ground.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the battlefield, Siming's gaze narrowed slightly as he stared at the enormous fox god's body, which was being suppressed to the ground by Tu Long and had no defenses in its abdomen.

He suddenly raised his hand and made a sweeping motion in the air:
"Serian, it's up to you!" "—Princess Serian."

In an instant, a blood-flame seal erupted from his palm, like runes of fury carved into the earth, rushing out along the cracks in the collapsing spell array!

Crimson flame patterns spread rapidly across the scorched earth, eventually merging beneath the feet of the figure—

Celian.

She stood silently at the boundary where flames and shadows intersected, her crimson eyes like flames, and a bloodthirsty smile like that of a wild beast on her lips.

She licked her chapped lips, letting out a low growl, like the howl of a hellhound.

"Finally...my turn?"

The voice of the God of Fate was like a vow:

"Contract: Bloodlust of the Wild Hunt"

He raised his right hand high, the Star of Reason burning in a crimson ring on his wrist, and mysterious runes leaping from his fingertips.

Spinning in the void, it weaves a burning blood-binding contract!
"Sign the Unsealing Pact with Princess Celian—offer my blood, and I will grant you the power to hunt gods."

Click——!
The chains of the contract burned and locked into Selian's chest!
The blood-flame patterns quickly spread to her limbs, and every inch of her skin seemed to be burning!
She threw her head back and roared, her whole body like a blood-red statue filled with murderous intent, exploding in the gale!
"—Finally!!!"

She laughed wildly, stomping on the ground and cracking the scorched earth of the shrine square with one kick!

Blood flames rose from the soles of her feet, like a roar from hell, with streaks of blood fire engulfing her entire body!
Her blood vessels surged like fire, and her bones expanded violently, cracking and popping!
The cloak burned out, and the armor shattered.

Her body was reforged as if by flames, her long scarlet hair cascading down like fiery streams, and blood-red blades growing from her finger bones.
The hands were no longer human hands, but two claws that devoured gods!

She's not human anymore.

She is the Vampire Hunter God Form – Ultimate Unleashed Form!
Beneath their feet, seven blood-flame marks scorched into the earth, each forming a runic storm!
Above the sky, starlight broke apart, the mirror domain shattered, and a rainbow of divine light pierced the night!
She strode forward, her blood-red flames like blades, roaring as she approached.

"Siming," she laughed like a madwoman, but her eyes were as sharp as a knife.
"You want me to kill the god of war—"

"I'll kill you right now!!!"

boom! ! !
She suddenly leaped up, transforming into a spinning blood-red comet that streaked across the sky, tearing through the heavens of the divine realm!

Like divine punishment falling from the heavens!
A direct stab—to Minako's heart!

"Tamamo-mae!!!"

Her roar shook the heavens and the earth, and at that moment, a terrifying "reverse explosion" occurred in space, tearing the air apart and creating a sound barrier!
Minako's eight tails trembled violently amidst the cursed flames.

She finally realized—

An instinctive fear that cannot be explained by techniques or logic, like a fox sensing a real hunter, like a god realizing that believers no longer bow their heads!

"No—stop! You can't—I am God!!!"

She roared, her tail flames danced wildly, her spells erupted, and a wheel of fate curses tried to reignite behind her!
But—it was too late!
"Serian - Bloodclaw Release!!!"

boom! ! !
The blood claw pierced downwards!

She fell like a god in divine punishment, using her body as a blade, her sharp claws tearing through the air—piercing through the core of Minako's fox body that was gazing at the heavens!

Fox flames exploded! The divine throne trembled!
She plunged her five fingers into the core of her heart, and blood and shattered flames burst forth from between her fingers!

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

Minako screams!
With a furious roar, Selene suddenly drew her sword—

From within the blood claw emerged a "Fate Core" that was still slightly rotating!
She gripped it tightly and squeezed it hard!
boom--! ! !
The core shattered! The golden wheel of destiny disintegrated!
The spell inscription reversed instantly, and the spell characters in the air curled back to zero!

"--No!!!"

Minako's shriek seemed to come from the abyss of some shattered divinity!

In the next instant, all three elements of her inner power went out of control!
Hundreds of spell circuits exploded! Failed experiments, remnants of constructs, and secret toxic flames all soared into the sky!

Her eight tails snapped off on the spot!

It shattered into embers and mournful cries!
The fox mask turned to ash like paper in the flames, peeling away to reveal the skeletal face of what was once a "human"—

Full of desire, distortion, fear, and resentment!
She wanted to roar, she wanted to fight back.

It's too late!
Flame, blood flame, ghost flame, magic flame, fox flame—five flames burning together!
She was like the final curtain falling on the stage of a play—

Amidst the scorching heat and mournful cries—

Turn to ashes!

The wind blew, the gods were gone, only that whisper remained, lingering on the burnt earth:
"I just... wanted to be a god..."

-

Selene landed, kneeling on the scorched earth, embers still burning on her shoulder.

Her face was scorched by the high temperature, making her look almost grotesque.

She slowly exhaled a mouthful of blood mist, her lips slightly upturned, still laughing like a madwoman.

"If you can't do it, then I will."

She stood up, blood-red claws dripping fragments of the divine core, her figure standing proudly amidst the sea of ​​fire.

She is the terminator of God.

The fox flame went out.

Deconstructing the mantra wheel.

The throne collapsed.

The entire area fell into a deathly silence.

She raised her hands high, and blood flames erupted once more!
boom! ! !
The intricate runes on Minako's body completely collapsed in that instant!
The star of reason has been extinguished, and the fox mask has been shattered!
That so-called "false god's body" was caught in the triple attack of blood flames, nine tails, and ghost flames—

It collapsed with a deafening roar!

In her very last moments, she looked up at the three figures in the center of the sea of ​​fire:
Si Ming, Xin Nai, Xiao Lianyin.

Her eyes were unfocused, as if she had returned to that laboratory illuminated by cold light.

someone said:
"You are not God."

"You are just material."

Even the best materials can be torn apart.

In that instant, her light went out.

-

The main shrine began to collapse the moment she fell.

The vermilion torii gate burst into flames, the altar collapsed, and the fox flames dissipated.

The throne is shattered.

The false god is dead.

True freedom and vitality ignite from the ruins.

"The flames have consumed the name of God."

It also ignited the last vestige of faith in ordinary people.
