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

Giant Warrior, Command Center.

"Reporting, sir!"

Lianfeng's voice trembled slightly, a rare occurrence for her.

"A high-energy reaction was detected in Denno3."

"Location?" Dukao stared at the big screen.

"Island nation".

Lianfeng pulled up a satellite cloud image, and the Eastern Hemisphere, which should have been pitch black, was now as bright as day.

"The energy level is still rising!" Lianfeng's pupils contracted as she looked at the readings. "The waveform indicates nuclear fusion! And it's a high-frequency, continuous nuclear fusion reaction!"

"A nuclear bomb?"

Ducao frowned. "Who's launching a nuclear missile? The island nation's Self-Defense Forces? Or has North America intervened?"

"No."

Lianfeng shook her head. "It wasn't a missile silo launch; the heat source was moving."

"It is a single-soldier target."

The image was zoomed in and became clearer after processing.

Dukao was stunned.

Lena, who was standing next to her, also stopped doing her nails, looked up abruptly, and her eyes lit up.

In the scene, the entire island nation is engulfed in flames, and countless demons are fleeing through the ruins.

In the center of the inferno, a blue steel giant was striding along, and with each step he took, flames shot out from the launchers on his shoulders.

call out!call out!call out!

The miniature missiles, trailing flames, pierced into the area where demons were most concentrated.

boom!

Mushroom clouds rose up, not just one or two, but hundreds and thousands, covering almost the entire island nation.

Holy crap.

Lena's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but swear, "This guy isn't Lu Xiao, is he? Do they think nuclear bombs are free?"

As the light of the sun, she is most sensitive to nuclear fusion.

"It's Lu Xiao."

Dukao recognized the armor; although it was thicker, the ferocious aura was unmistakable.

"What is he doing?" Dukao's voice was deep. "He's committing a massacre."

"He's cleaning up the demons," Lianfeng corrected. "According to the scan, the entire island nation has been covered by the demon virus, with a survival conversion rate of over 99%, and the remaining 1% is also rapidly mutating."

"But you can't just use nuclear bombs to wipe out the land!"

Dukao slammed his fist on the table. "That's ecology! Is he trying to wipe that island off the map?"

"Commander."

Lianfeng looked at the data and said, "According to calculations, at this bombing frequency, the island nation's crustal structure will collapse in ten minutes. Forget about the ecosystem, it's questionable whether that island can even exist."

Lena, however, watched with great interest.

"Hey, Lao Du, don't be so old-fashioned."

She crossed her arms, a smirk playing on her lips. "I think this guy is pretty creative. You see, instead of letting the devil run rampant and wreak havoc on the world, it's better to nip it in the bud. A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one."

"and."

Lena pointed at the blue figure on the screen, "Look how happy he is with all this explosions. This continuous series of miniature nuclear explosions is simply art; I'd love to go over and challenge him."

Dukao glared at Rena.

"This is war! Not art!"

He turned to Lianfeng, "Can you contact him? Tell him to stop! This level of bombing will cause a tsunami, affecting neighboring countries!"

"Attempting to establish communication..."

Lianfeng fiddled with the controls for a few moments, then shook her head helplessly. "It won't work. Morgana cut off the area's clandestine communications, and conventional communication signals were also blocked by the electromagnetic pulse from the nuclear explosion. It's now an information black hole; nobody can contact it."

On the screen, Lu Xiao's figure paused for a moment as he changed ammunition, and then an even more violent explosion began.

Ducao slumped back into his chair, staring at the burning earth on the screen.

"madman"

"This guy is absolutely insane."

……

Outside the Earth's atmosphere.

Angel Yan and Angel A-Zhui hovered in near-Earth orbit.

Looking down, they saw a long, narrow island on the edge of the eastern hemisphere, glowing brightly against the dark ocean.

"Oh my god..."

Ah-Zhui was shocked. "This is too brutal."

"Sister Yan."

A-Zhui looked at Yan beside her, "Isn't that Lu Xiao? What's he doing? Isn't there a single living person on that island?"

Yan narrowed his eyes, his Eye of Insight piercing through the atmosphere and the firelight, locking onto the blue figure.

"They're all demons."

Yan's voice was cold and clear. "Morgana released a high concentration of the virus. The human genetic sequences on that island already had some defects, making them extremely susceptible to being corrupted. Now it truly is a den of demons."

"But"

Looking at the rising mushroom cloud, Ah-Zhui said, "Isn't this cleanup method too extreme? They even blew up the soil. How can anyone live here after this?"

"He never intended for anyone to live there anymore."

Yan laughed, "Lu Xiao has a pretty bad temper, but he's quite to my liking."

Compared to those indecisive male gods, this decisive and ruthless style is more like that of a warrior.

Contact him.

Yan activated the secret communication, "Since Morgana made this mess, we angels can't just stand by and do nothing."

"Yes."

……

Ruins of an island nation.

Lu Xiao cleaved a sneak-attacking demon in two with an axe.

"The 132nd."

He counted indifferently.

The surrounding temperature reached thousands of degrees Celsius, and the ground had become vitrified.

Suddenly, a cool female voice cut into his private channel.

"Lu Xiao".

The voice was mocking, "I am Angel Yan. Looks like you're in trouble?"

Lu Xiao paused, raised her head, and looked up at the sky through her red goggles.

Although he couldn't see them, he could feel the two powerful biomagnetic fields above his head.

"It's you again?"

Lu Xiao's voice, processed through his helmet, was deep and metallic. "Trouble? I have no trouble. I'm cleaning up trash, and the process went smoothly."

"smoothly?"

Yan chuckled lightly, "Your so-called success is just taking these primitive nuclear weapons and randomly bombing them like a brute? That's far too inefficient."

"That island is teeming with demons, numbering in the hundreds of millions."

"How long are you going to keep blowing things up by yourself?"

Yan's tone was confident, "Do you need your sister's help? I can activate Heavenly Blade Judgment. One strike will completely purify this island, burning it to ashes along with the demons on it."

"Heavenly Blade Judgment?"

Lu Xiao repeated it.

He knew what it was: an angel's ultimate weapon, capable of destroying half the planet's ecosystem.

"How was it?" Yan asked. "Although Morgana ran away, cleaning up these minions can be considered a small gift from the angels to Earth."

Lu Xiao sneered.

"unnecessary."

"This is Earth."

"Clean up your own trash is our own business."

"We don't need you demi-humans interfering."

Subhuman.

Outside the atmosphere, Ah Zhui's expression changed instantly.

"Ajin?!"

Her eyebrows furrowed, and her flaming sword ignited. "What did he call us? Demi-humans?! This arrogant bastard! How dare he call us that! Sister Yan, don't stop me, I'm going down to continue my duel with him!"

In the angels' understanding, they are the most perfect beings in the known universe, yet they are now being called "demi-humans" by an Earthling?

Yan was also taken aback.

She has lived for seven thousand years and has been called a bitch and roasted chicken, but this is the first time she has been called an "alien".

"That's interesting."

Yan stopped the excited A-Zhui, becoming even more interested. "He refused the Heavenly Blade Trial, and his reason was actually racial fastidiousness?"

Lu Xiao's voice continued to come through the communicator.

"How could I possibly allow you demi-humans to launch a Heavenly Blade Judgment against Earth?"

"Or, get down."

Lu Xiao raised the missile launcher on his shoulder and locked onto the sky.

"Come down here, let my explosive gun explain things to you."

Click.

The locking alarm sounded in Yan's mind.

This kid actually dared to target her.

"Such arrogance."

Yan laughed in exasperation, "Fine, kid. Since you're so determined, then go ahead and blast it. I want to see if you can clean this place up."

"Ah-Zhui, let's go."

"Sister Yan! Are you just going to let him go like this?" A-Zhui said indignantly.

"What else? Go down and fight him?"

Yan glanced at the sea of ​​fire below. "That's Earth's internal affair. Let's keep an eye on Morgana and make sure that bitch doesn't pull any more tricks."

……

Lu Xiao withdrew her gaze.

"You guys got there fast."

He knew in his heart that humanity's destiny must be in its own hands.

"alright."

Lu Xiao turned around and looked at the ruins that had not yet been cleared.

"Keep working."

Boom boom boom boom!

The explosions continued for a day and a night.

Lu Xiao worked tirelessly, like a killing machine, clearing out the island nation. From north to south, he left no corner unchecked; as soon as any sign of life was detected, a bombardment ensued.

A day and a night later, the entire island nation was lowered by several meters, and most of the land turned into reefs and was submerged by the sea.

All around was deathly silent, save for the sound of the waves. There were no demons, no people, just a clean and tidy place.

Lu Xiao stood on a giant rock that protruded from the sea.

At dawn, the red sun rose from the sea, its rays shining on the sea and his armor, which was covered in gunpowder smoke.

"call……"

Lu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the armor had an air circulation system, he felt the air was exceptionally fresh at that moment.

"System, scan the entire territory."

[Scan complete.]

[Target area life response: 0.]

[Demon virus residue: 0.]

[Cleanup progress: 100%]

Looking at the all-green data on his retina, Lu Xiao felt a sense of satisfaction.

This is not just about killing demons, but also about erasing the name he has hated for two lifetimes.

"finally……"

"It's completely clean."

He unlocked his helmet.

嗤

With a hiss of air pressure, the heavy helmet was removed, revealing Lu Xiao's young and resolute face, the sea breeze blowing through his short hair.

He pulled out a mirror from the system space, which was originally used to check the paint job, looked at himself, and then froze.

"Um?"

Lu Xiao blinked.

The person in the mirror was still him, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and distinct features.

However, a faint golden light emanated from the back of his head and the surface of his skin.

"Holy crap?"

Lu Xiao was filled with questions.

He touched his face; no special effects were on, and the power armor's lighting was off.

Where is this light coming from? Is it emanating from within the body?

"What's going on?"

Lu Xiao looked at her reflection in the mirror, which shimmered with golden light, and fell into deep thought.

He glanced back at the island nation that had sunk to the bottom of the sea, then at the increasingly bright golden light emanating from his body, and an idea popped into his head.

"Could it be...?"

Lu Xiao touched his chin, his expression strange.

"Could it be because I slaughtered all those Japanese devils...?"

"Does God think I've accumulated great merit?"

"He's achieved sainthood through merit?!"

The more he thought about it, the more sense it made. Killing is a sin, but killing these inhuman, heinous villains is a merit. These island demons have committed both sins; how great would the merit be if they were all wiped out?

"Goodness."

Lu Xiao couldn't help but laugh as she looked at her golden appearance.

"If I went back to China, wouldn't they build a shrine for me in my lifetime?"

"Please call me from now on."

"The Heavenly Venerable of Merit and Virtue, Lu Xiao".

"really."

Lu Xiao put away the mirror and put her helmet back on.

The golden light was obscured by the helmet, but the peculiar aura still flowed within the armor, causing his psionic energy level to surge dramatically.

The ancients were right.
