Infinite Gods Reign Supreme

Chapter 136 - And they began to abandon martial ethics

Sure enough.

When that radiant light that shouldn't have existed suddenly shone, Si Ming's heart was unexpectedly calm.

it is as expected.

As expected, even if they used all their strength from the beginning, they could not truly wipe out all the contractors.

Because this is essentially a struggle between two spaces, a clash between two 'gods'. Both the reincarnators and contractors are each other's tentacles and weapons. And currently, it seems that their side is stronger.

The light grew even brighter.

Si Ming: [Prepare for high-intensity combat and ensure you are in top condition.]

Si Ming: [Mental defenses are crucial. The opponent is highly skilled in areas such as charm, provocation, and casting spells. Protecting your true name is extremely important, especially against common curses.]

Si Ming: [Also note that most opponents possess rule-based skills. These can force damage or effects. Maintain composure during combat, and try to avoid letting the opponent provoke your emotions.]

He spoke quickly.

The light before his eyes vanished in an instant.

The navigator, whom he should have killed and shattered with a single blow, reappeared before him. However, his once resolute eyes were now filled with only bewilderment and emptiness. All traces of humanity had vanished, replaced by something mechanical, like a puppet, like a programmed system.

He raised his hand, unleashing another holy blade. However, this chain reaction of holy fire pillars could no longer engulf the opponent's body—a small portion of the dissipated light still covered the opponent's form. This was due to the special protection granted by spatial permissions, allowing this reborn being to perform other actions.

[The title review has been approved. From this moment forward, I am the 'Announcer,' the one who proclaims and reveals destiny.]

The voice sounded.

A sense of crisis began to creep into Si Ming's mind and body.

Those bewildered eyes turned to him, and he immediately slid back a hundred meters.

Now, let's begin setting up the stage.

Something that shouldn't have appeared has appeared.

Something that the Celestials had searched for with great effort but could not obtain suddenly appeared here.

Even though Jacob's dimensional anchor was still functioning, and even though all spatial teleportation in this area had been banned, three figures still appeared amidst the shattered ruins.

And it was accompanied by the announcer's voice, which sounded like a narrator.

The death of their comrade ignited the fury of the Eight Heroes, driving the remaining three of the Four Heavenly Kings to relentlessly advance towards South Town. Their will tore through space, creating a path that should never have existed. And now, a formidable foe lies here.

Two men and one woman. Two adults and one child.

The parched land, the Seven Shackles Society.

Wild, radiant rice paddies, Sharmi.

Chris, the Flame of Destiny.

They appeared at the sound of the announcer's voice, their eyes still filled with astonishment. The three looked around curiously and warily; they had not arrived here out of 'anger' as the announcer had said.

All eyes turned toward where Si Ming was.

"So you're the one who defeated Goenitz... You're stronger than I expected." The burly man was named Yashiro Nanakase, and he was also interested in greeting Shimei.

but--

Reason was gradually overwhelmed by rage, for the formidable enemy before them had not only killed their own people, but also stained their hands with the blood of many of their friends. The wailing spirits of the dead clamored before their eyes, compelling them forward with their grief.

Dozens of illusory figures suddenly appeared behind the announcer, bearing the faces of those slain by the Celestial Squad. Their faces were expressionless, their eyes vacant. Yet, from their throats emanated a unified voice.

"Pay all favorability points to forcibly lock the target as hostile."

The atmosphere suddenly changed.

The Three Kings' eyes suddenly turned blood red, and crimson tears and uncontrollable rage surged forth in a frenzied torrent. The favorability of a single contractor might only slightly influence their actions. However, when all the contractors they had interacted with simultaneously 'contributed' all their favorability, the quantitative change was enough to trigger a qualitative shift.

—I see. —So the 'Announcer' is the representative of space, able to freely exercise all the influence left by hostile space on this land.

Si Ming remained calm.

However, the three, consumed by rage, launched an attack on him without regard for anything else. Boiling elemental energy surged with the serpent bloodline's fury. Before they even arrived, the elemental impact was already upon them.

"Kill you!"

Shermie was the first to arrive, her movements made exceptionally swift by the purple lightning. The oncoming lightning transformed into sharp, shattering bolts of light, which were successfully deflected by Siming's raised hand.

Very strong.

But he only reached 80% of Goenitz's level.

Si Ming casually deflected it. He strode forward, smashing through a suddenly rising stone wall. The camouflage was fading from his body. And the blazing light of the calamity fire had already ignited on his black and red gauntlets.

The next step is to deliver a powerful blow!

'boom--! ’

Large bursts of flame exploded.

The exploding flames were somewhat contained.

Chris's purple serpent flames mitigated some of the impact of the calamity fire, saving Shermie from having her head blown off on the spot. The slenderest boy possessed the strongest potential and resilience among the Four Heavenly Kings—more purple flames erupted. However, at the same moment, four colossal metal figures appeared out of thin air on the battlefield and were immediately filled with the instability of the Evil Explosion spell!

It was an exceptionally terrifying explosion.

In a blinding flash, the entire block was razed to the ground in an instant. While killing all eight members of the Orochi Clan and unleashing the Yamata no Orochi directly wouldn't be a problem, there was one more thing that needed to be proven immediately!
The shockwave spread in all directions.

Amidst the boiling, exploding light and fire, the black and red gauntlets transformed into the form of the Flame-Borrowing Greatsword—the announcer, enveloped in a golden light curtain, still stood quietly amidst the ruins of Gista. Facing the powerful sword strike unleashed by Siming, he neither dodged nor evaded.

No, it wasn't that he didn't dodge or evade. It was that he had no choice but to dodge. Since he could directly mobilize all the resources of the enemy space, he could have simply sent the Eight Heroes in an even more powerful form, the Yamata no Orochi. The fact that he didn't do that meant he was still stalling for time, still secretly plotting something sinister!

—The gods are the wings of the chief god.

—The attack of the gods is the victory of the chief god.

The Supreme God doesn't act because the Celestial Team is the Supreme God's 'hand'. In other words, the Celestial Team's actions can, to some extent, guide the Supreme God's attack!
The sword slashed out.

It wasn't the Holy Light Blade used to 'test' the enemy earlier. Instead, it was the lingering flame of liberation, imbued with a 'determination' to kill. And the instant the sword was unleashed, Si Ming saw that magnificent phantom once again.

He saw a vast, golden sphere of light, and the shadowy clusters of stars lurking above the world. He saw those lurking shadows carefully withdrawing from the world before him. And this part before him, perhaps soon, would be discarded as a broken gecko's tail.

A hint of regret appeared in the announcer's empty eyes.

The golden threads descending from the sphere of divine light, along with the fiery sword strike unleashed by Siming, struck their respective targets. The lingering flames of liberation still failed to penetrate the thin spatial defense. However, the threads of the supreme god easily pierced through, pinning down the cluster of shadowy stars attempting to evacuate the world.

He caught it.

The Lord God has captured Him.

While exercising its privileges within the Nightmare Space, it naturally becomes an opportunity to mobilize the space's core resources. It had to take this risk, yet it couldn't escape Si Ming's watchful eye.

The puppet's emptiness thus transformed into a tangible regret. And the genuine anger of the hostile space surged forth from those regretful eyes.

You want it? Here you go!

The Star Cluster Shadows, unable to escape, burst into flames. Since escape was impossible, more resources would be poured into this place. And in the next moment, from the remains of the Contractor 'Libra,' who had finally been caught up and killed by Yu Zhiwei, another halo of forced authentication burst forth.

A new 'scale' has been set in motion. And she has a new name. Her sole purpose is to ensure the arrival of more resources.

“The title review has been approved. From this moment on, I am the ‘Balancer.’ I will sacrifice myself to balance this distorted war.”

The resurrected body was burning fiercely.

Suddenly, ten dazzling stars descended from the sky.

"Descend, warriors of nightmares! You mighty ones bearing the weight of your titles, you will win this battle of balance!"
