Chapter 472 Our Heavenly Father and Savior
A mound rose up on the ground that had long since turned to scorched earth.

Gerald emerged from the mud with a sinister grin, staring at the Murakumo sword in Li Xia's hand, which was bound with green chains.

"Now we can have a proper talk."

He chuckled strangely a few times, his eyes surprisingly devoid of much murderous intent, instead displaying more of an appreciation and a hint of greed.

Such a powerful being—if it can be corrupted into one's own offspring, or even an avatar.

From any perspective, it is an absolute enhancement.

Gerald did not act immediately, but instead chose to disguise himself in the university, because he planned to corrupt and taint several of his "old friends".

They were the most powerful sorcerers and warriors of their time, but the infiltration plan was only half completed.

First, he tried to seize the enormous 'magic source' from Aria, but was inexplicably rescued by a black cat. Then, he was incredibly unlucky and was hit squarely by a meteorite falling from the sky.

The vast majority of the thousands of scholars and students who had worked so hard to corrupt were now gone.

This made Gerald begin to wonder if the world could not tolerate his 'evolution'.

The poor man never imagined that the meteorite was man-made. A meteorite of this magnitude is absolutely beyond human capability; even the most powerful court mage could not accomplish it.

Just as Li Xia was about to go up and show him that 'weapons are his forte, but fists and kicks are also my hobby,' he stopped his movements.

He watched Gerald with great interest. Everyone else was quickly eliminating the mutants. If he could delay for even a second, maybe Awoo, Black Charcoal, and the Guard Legion could take down one more of them.

"what do you want to say?"

"Well, I hope I can tell you about our Heavenly Father and Savior—the great God of the Old Days!"

Li Xia:
Gerald didn't notice the strange expression on Li Xia's face. Before he could even speak, he was already trembling with excitement.

"In my worldview, there was only this small universe. We lived on planets, and the neighboring planets were insurmountable barriers for us."

But the great being generously revealed the truth of the world to me.

If the world were an ocean, then the starry sky we live in would be nothing more than a tiny bubble created by the ripples on its surface.

Gerrard spread his arms wide and roared excitedly:

"Can you imagine such grandeur and vastness? Can you imagine how insignificant we are, that there is such a vast existence that I cannot even imagine?"

"Yes, the void."

Li Xia casually remarked, thinking he might be able to say something profound, but it turned out to be '100 little-known facts that every apostle should know'.

"what?"

Gerrard suddenly froze, staring wide-eyed at Li Xia, who didn't expect him to act so matter-of-factly and even offer a 'thoughtful' explanation.

"You...you know?"

"The great beings you're referring to are the Old Gods, right?"

"what?"

Li Xia took a breath. He still didn't understand what the Old Gods were. Everyone else only knew that the Old Gods were extremely troublesome.

I've never even heard of anyone killing an Old God, but powerful beings have killed the incarnations of Old Gods.

He fell silent, already understanding what Gerald wanted to do: corrupt him.

Planting spiritual seeds within oneself?
The ground beneath his feet suddenly exploded, and his figure vanished instantly, appearing directly in front of Gerald. The sun rings on his Kusanagi Kyo gloves suddenly lit up.

A blazing white flame rose up as Li Xia gripped Gerald's neck, and the raging white flames instantly engulfed his body.

The positive flames met Gerald's negative, twisted body and soul, like gasoline meeting a raging fire. With crackling explosions, Gerald let out a piercing scream as his entire body burst into flames.

Li Xia was somewhat surprised as he released his grip and took a step back. He had never encountered this situation before, mainly because he rarely had the opportunity to use this kind of flame.

After crackling and burning, Gerald was completely charred, but he didn't turn into sticky pus like before.

It looked as if it had been burned dry, leaving only these powdery particles.

After a moment, Li Xia frowned, then suddenly turned his head to look into the distance. Gerald's aura suddenly emerged from that place in his Observation Haki.

Is it that if one cannot revive on the spot, one can only revive from another sub-body?

Or was it possible to choose to revive the child body from the beginning?

Li Xia leaped into the air and flew rapidly towards Gerald from a low altitude.

Gerrard ran frantically, his face, which looked much younger than before, filled with terror and disbelief.

How could there be such a person? Without weapons, he seems like a wild beast that has had its muzzle removed, becoming even more deadly and dangerous.

Damn!

Gerald cursed angrily. He had been avoiding resurrecting from the child body because each time he did, he would be weakened for a period of time.

It will take some time to recover to its original state.

But the white flames forced him to revive.

Suddenly, a shrill whistle rang in my ears, and a figure flew past rapidly from behind, causing the ground in front of me to explode.

Gerald was both surprised and furious. How did you find me?

Before he could even react, the figure had suddenly appeared in front of him.

A heavy punch landed on his abdomen, and the terrifying force instantly rippled through his body.

Gerrard groaned, his body cracking like a watermelon, covered in countless fissures, before exploding into a lump of flesh and blood.

Li Xia withdrew his fist expressionlessly, watching the organs, tissues, and viscous liquid that had been blocked by the repulsive force field slowly slide down in front of him.

Gerrard has become weaker in every way, including his physical strength.

Otherwise, even if the physical strength was only 6, that punch would only have shattered the internal organs, not the body.

so.
Li Xia's brain raced, and she instantly came to a conclusion.

Will resurrecting at the child body reduce strength?

That's why he keeps resurrecting in the same spot!
This is great news.

As I was pondering this, strange howls suddenly echoed throughout the entire university.

Countless roots shot into the sky, spreading out an evil and bizarre power. Even some ordinary staff members of the university who had been rejected by Gerald for being 'clumsy' and had not been corrupted knelt on the ground, wailing in pain.

A surprised shout came from the team channel:
"Boss, these mutants have gone mad, they're all rushing towards you."

It also affected some ordinary people; they didn't undergo any mutations, but were simply influenced.

Good grief, a human wave tactic?
