The player is playing like a god, and has already advanced to Space Marine level at the start.

Chapter 27 I am not a god, I am just a person

After beating up the Super Soldier Squad, Lu Xiao went straight home.

"A bunch of children who haven't been weaned."

Synthetic electronic sounds echoed in the courtyard.

He removed his power armor.

The system activated, reducing his 2.8-meter-tall superhuman body back to normal human size. He opened the liquor cabinet and took out a bottle of ice water.

Just then, the airflow outside the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows suddenly became turbulent.

"Don't you angels understand the original design intent behind things like 'doors'?"

"For those who uphold justice, doors are merely a means of defense against evil."

Yan folded her wings, and her high-heeled boots slammed against the floor, making a clattering sound.

Lu Xiao turned around, leaned back against the bar, and glanced at the three uninvited guests.

"If you're here to stand up for Lena, you've come to the wrong person." Lu Xiao tilted his head back and drank the last mouthful of water. "Lena is probably in such a state that she can barely stand up."

"Lena? That little girl does need some tough love. I should thank you for helping her overcome her pride."

Yan walked straight to the sofa and sat down, crossing her legs.

"I'm here for something more important."

"Lu Xiao, you caused a huge commotion at the Super God Academy today."

"Is it big?" Lu Xiao toyed with the empty cup, a sneer tugging at the corner of his mouth. "I only used less than 10% of my strength, and I didn't even use the bomb gun."

"That's the problem." Yan's nonchalant attitude vanished. "Less than 10% of their power is enough to crush a super soldier. In this universe, power itself is a strong gravitational source."

The Taotie's vanguard flagship has already stopped at the outer edge of the solar system, Morgana is wandering around, and that perverted Death God Karl is also secretly watching.

Yan leaned forward.

"Earth is now completely exposed to the eyes of all the major powers in the known universe. It's like a piece of fat meat, and everyone wants a bite."

Lu Xiao remained expressionless: "So?"

"Therefore, we need to ensure that Earth is under the protection of a just order." Yan's voice was unquestionable. "Originally, Ge Xiaolun, the Galactic Force, should have been the future chief god of this planet. But as you can see, he's a spineless coward now, unable to even hold a sword properly."

When Ge Xiaolun was mentioned, a look of disdain flashed in Yan's eyes.

"But you are different."

"You have fully reached the standard of a third-generation god. In terms of pure destructive power, you are even more dangerous than an ordinary third-generation god."

Yan stood up and slowly approached Lu Xiao, the unique cool fragrance of an angel wafting towards her.

"In this window of opportunity before the power of the galaxy has fully matured, to a large extent, you, Lu Xiao, are already a god who can represent Earth."

A-Zhui and Mo-Yi instinctively held their breath. In the angel's eyes, this was an invitation to be accepted by the highest order of the universe, an unparalleled honor.

Lu Xiao's reaction was as if she had heard a ridiculous joke.

He was taken aback at first, and then a very strange expression appeared on his face.

"god?"

Lu Xiao savored the word, her tone full of amusement and mockery.

"You just said I am God?"

Yan frowned: "Possessing a third-generation divine body, in the known definition of the universe, this is a god."

"That's your definition, not mine."

"I am not a god."

"I am just a person. A human being with power."

Lu Xiao pointed to her chest.

"The so-called 'gods' are nothing more than a vain title that you advanced civilizations bestow upon yourselves in order to rule the weak. But I don't need it. I'm just a little faster and a little farther on the path of evolution than ordinary people."

Ah Zhui's eyes widened.

Were you walking a little too fast?

Slicing through Dark Silver and withstanding the slaying of the God of War—if this is merely described as "a little too fast," then every super soldier in the universe could find a block of tofu and smash their head against it.

Ignoring A-Zhui's ghost-like expression, Lu Xiao turned and walked to the French windows.

"And Yan, you've got one thing wrong."

"I never said I represented the Earth."

"What do you mean?" Yan's eyes turned cold. "You live on this planet; this is your home."

"hometown?"

"Do you really understand the current state of this planet? Or rather, do you really understand Ducão and his gang?"

He held up one finger and pointed in the direction of the Super God Academy.

"More than a thousand years ago, during the Tang Dynasty, Dukao led the remnants of the Deno star system, piloting their spaceship to Earth. From that time on, this planet was no longer pure."

"They brought super genes, the seeds of war, and the spying of extraterrestrial civilizations. The so-called 'Super Soldier Corps' and the so-called 'Black Great Wall' are essentially nothing more than the reincarnation of the Deno civilization on Earth."

He walked up to Yan, looking down at the Thunder God of War with no respect in his eyes.

"The entire planet's defense system is being slowly infiltrated and assimilated by those alien remnants. Dukao is using Earthlings as his pawns, waging a proxy war that will last for millennia on their behalf. And me?"

"I don't want to be a pawn, nor do I want to be a player. I don't really want to get involved in this mess."

Having lived for seven thousand years, Yan naturally knew about Deno's past, but she did not expect Lu Xiao to see things so clearly and to have such a deep prejudice against Dukao.

"So what do you plan to do?" Yan asked. "If the Taotie army invades, if Morgana launches a war, are you just going to stand by and watch?"

"I can leave anytime I want."

"The universe is vast. As long as I have this power, where can't I go? I don't need to risk my life against the entire universe for a planet that's been riddled with holes by aliens."

A-Zhui and Mo-Yi exchanged bewildered glances. They had never seen such a "selfish" yet so powerful warrior. In the Angelic Creed, with great power comes great responsibility, and protecting the weak is a matter of course.

"Cough cough"

It was Ah-Zhui who broke the silence.

The straightforward angel couldn't stand it any longer. She stepped forward, pointed at Lu Xiao, and looked incredulous, completely disregarding the decorum of a high-ranking angel.

"I said, look at what you're saying, are you even speaking human language?"

Ah Zhui rolled her eyes.

"What do you mean by 'I'm not a god, I just walk a little faster'? That's way too Versailles! Do you know how many people in the entire universe would fight tooth and nail to upgrade to a second-generation god body? If you say that, do you believe Morgana will jump out of bed in anger?"

Lu Xiao glanced at her: "I'm stating the facts."

"Facts my foot!" Ah-Zhui put her hands on her hips, her ponytail shaking with anger. "And what do you mean by 'can leave whenever you want'? You clearly have the ability but don't want to work! It's only because the Queen tells us to be polite."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

Those eyes sized Lu Xiao up and down, the anger gradually turning into a eager light, as if a warrior had caught the scent of a fellow human.

"Forget it, talking to you about justice and order is like casting pearls before swine. You're just a stubborn person."

Ah-Zhui moved her wrists, making a cracking sound from her joints, and slightly twisted her neck.

"However, I saw you beating up those kids at Super God Academy just now, and you were pretty efficient. Now I'm itching to do it myself."

She raised her chin and looked at Lu Xiao defiantly.

"Hey, Master Versailles, shall we have another spar? Let me see just how ordinary this 'ordinary person' really is."

Lu Xiao looked at A-Zhui's fearless and naive demeanor.

Another one who wants to get beaten up.

"Want to have a friendly spar?"

"Can."

The blood that had just been forcibly calmed down was stirred up again by this suggestion.
