Godslayer: I, the agent of the God of Drama, am here to begin the show.

At this point, Indra still didn't understand what was going on.

He didn't think it was Lin Ze's problem, but rather his own.

After all, he had been trapped for a while and was still a little unaccustomed to it, which caused his first attack to fail and not harm Lin Ze.

But that's not the right way to think about it either.

Even if I'm in a really bad state, it shouldn't be like this!

Something's not right, there must be a problem!

If you ask me what the problem is, I don't know either.

I'll attack again and see what's going on.

So, after some deliberation, Indra decided to attack again to see if the situation would be the same as before.

If it's the same as last time, then there's definitely a problem.

This isn't his problem anymore, it's Lin Ze's problem!

Just as Indra was pondering, Lin Ze imitated Indra's attack and threw a punch, sending Indra's entire body flying backward.

A small charred mark was left on her body, caused by Lin Ze's attack.

He originally thought Lin Ze would be blasted to smithereens by his attack, but to his surprise, Lin Ze was not injured; instead, he was the one who was injured.

This is something he simply cannot accept.

But this is no longer a matter of whether he can accept it or not; the facts are there, and there's nothing he can do about it.

Lin Ze glanced at his fist, which was still crackling with electricity, and couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect it to be so powerful."

"Indra, your skills are truly amazing."

"I will cherish your abilities."

As he spoke, Lin Ze let out a disdainful laugh.

Lin Ze's sarcastic remarks directly increased Indra's anger level.

He decided that this time he would defeat Lin Ze directly!

Call upon all the primal power you can currently draw upon, and regardless of the outcome, you must use your full strength.

I can't let this mortal show off in front of me anymore!

Actually, it's not that Lin Ze is particularly strong; even on the stage of the God of Drama, his abilities are still limited.

Dealing with a god is still quite a challenge.

The attack just now was only because Indra was unprepared.

It's probably because he didn't think Lin Ze's attack could hurt him.

Therefore, Lin Ze has a natural advantage when fighting these gods.

That means you'll always be looked down upon.

This is the arrogance unique to the gods.

Lin Ze could also use this to catch them off guard.

He had used this trick many times before, but these gods just never learned their lesson.

Before they were killed, they thought he was just a mortal. Even if he was lucky enough to borrow the power of a god, so what?

Could he possibly kill me?

Are you kidding me...?

As for what happened next, I'm sure everyone already knows.

They always get slapped in the face, and they never learn their lesson.

Now Lin Ze finally understands what their teacher often said.

"I get this one question wrong every year!"

These gods are roughly in this state now.

Since they never learn their lesson, let them suffer a few more times.

You can't learn something just by being taught; you can learn it after just one lesson.

I guess after this, they'll be able to face themselves honestly.

At this moment, Indra had already begun to gather the power for his ultimate attack.

This attack brought together all the primal power he could muster, roughly 50% of his total strength!

He refused to believe he couldn't kill Lin Ze this time!

During the process of gathering his strength, he also calmed down and thought about whether it was a bit too serious for him to use so much divine essence to fight a mortal.

This way of thinking wasn't out of consideration for Lin Ze, but rather out of concern for one's own divine origin.

The reason why the gods do not easily fight each other is that there is a certain amount of consumption when using the divine essence.

For example, if you use 1% of the divine essence, its consumption may be 0.1%.

At this time, the divine essence is equivalent to their mana bar.

Releasing a skill requires consuming one's divine essence; the higher the skill's strength, the more essence it consumes.

It's easy to deplete a god's essence, but it's difficult to recover.

One of the main reasons is the current unfavorable economic environment.

A mysterious fog descended, swallowing up vast swathes of land, and their followers were sacrificed.

Without these people, they would lose their faith.

The power of faith is one of the main ways to restore the divine essence.

Now, he can only rely on the people he raises to provide him with the power of faith, and even that little bit needs to be distributed among other gods.

Therefore, they do not easily use their divine essence under normal circumstances.

Unless it's a life-or-death situation, they would never touch their divine essence.

If Indra were to fully charge his skills, it would consume approximately 50% of his divine essence.

The consumption is too great. If it is not controlled properly, at least 5% of the source energy will be lost!

That was too impulsive.

Just as Indra was about to stop and reduce his investment of divine essence, Lin Ze began his own plan.

He didn't say much, but maintained his superior attitude, looking at Indra's attack with disdain.

I even couldn't help but yawn while waiting.

Gods who can cultivate to this level are generally very intelligent, but each of them has their own weaknesses.

The common weakness of gods is pride, and this is particularly evident in Indra.

Therefore, Lin Ze didn't need to try to seduce him; he would definitely notice.

Lin Ze didn't need to go through all that trouble; he just needed to act nonchalant.

This would be a blow to his pride.

It's like a child eager to prove themselves, desperately showing off all their toys.

Ultimately, Indra mobilized 40% of the energy of his divine origin.

The adjustment to 40% wasn't because he discovered a problem, but because he simply couldn't stand Lin Ze anymore.

That's why they were so eager to kill him.

After charging up his power, Indra suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahahaha!"

"You mortal, die!"

"I know I am now trapped in your domain, and I know you are testing me."

"Mortal, you've suffered because of your arrogance!"

"You shouldn't have let me finish charging up. This is my strongest move, one I rarely get a chance to use. Today, I'll use you as a practice target!"

Lin Ze smiled and shook his head. "I'm looking forward to it."

"But I have some bad news for you: your attacks have no effect on me."

"Now that you've finished charging up, you can't take it back even if you wanted to."

Indra continued to laugh, "Mortal, you have seen too little."

"Of course I know that ordinary attacks won't work on you, which is why I pretended to fall for it so that I could use this move."

"If I'm not mistaken, it's a deity protecting you, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Lin Ze frowned slightly, but he quickly adjusted his mindset.

To be honest, this was something Lin Ze hadn't expected.

He always thought that Indra was part of his schemes, but who would have thought that Indra was also plotting against him in secret!

They were completely unaware!

Indra knew of his scheme, but he did not know of Indra's scheme.

Damn it... I was careless.

Lin Ze quickly adjusted his state so that the other party would not notice anything unusual about him.

Especially at times like these, it's crucial not to expose your weaknesses, as this will only boost the enemy's morale.

Lin Ze smiled and shook his head, maintaining his previous arrogant attitude.

However, at that moment, Indra chuckled unintentionally.

"Looks like I guessed right."

"You don't need to pretend to be indifferent; I've already seen through you."

"You were momentarily stunned, wasn't I right?"

"What you're trying so hard to do right now is to demonstrate the fact that you've already been exposed."

"Now that the die is cast, I might as well tell you."

"From the moment you first withstood my attack, I became suspicious. There was no way you, a mere mortal, could withstand an attack from me, especially one that carried a trace of my essence."

"Since you, as a mortal, cannot do it, then only one person can do it—no, to be precise, one kind of person."

"god."

"It was a deity behind you who saved you. To be honest, I don't really want to believe this theory, because I can't think of any deity that would step in to save you. Although I don't have an agent, I know that the relationship between an agent and a deity is merely one of employment. He has no reason to save you."

"Perhaps there's some kind of deal between you, but that's no longer important, because I've determined that it's the gods helping you, not your own abilities."

"Next, I can tell from your letting me build up my power that you trust the god behind you and believe that he will definitely protect you."

"I'd guess he's a defensive deity."

"That's not important. What's important is that he can't withstand this attack."

"In other words, he wouldn't defend himself against such an attack for the sake of a proxy."

"You see, we are now in your territory, and we are the passive party. This was true before the seal was broken, but not now."

"What I need to do next is break through this barrier. Once we break through, we can get out, and then we can settle the rest of our scores!"

"From the very beginning, my target wasn't you, but this field!"

Having said that, Indra's aura had reached its peak.

This is not 50% of the divine origin, but 80% of the divine origin!

Indra was putting on an act from the very beginning!

His goal was not to kill Lin Ze, but to leave the stage of the God of Drama!

Thinking about it carefully, it's possible that his goal from the beginning wasn't Lin Ze, but rather to leave the stage of "The God of Drama".

He simply felt that Lin Ze was the master of the stage, and that as long as he killed him, he could get out.

Of course, he might genuinely want to kill Lin Ze.

However, this matter is nothing compared to leaving this godforsaken place.

"Lightning Array!"

As Indra's voice faded, a storm of thunder swept across the entire stage of the theater.

The only safe zone was where Lin Ze was.

Lin Ze didn't know if the God of Drama was intentionally protecting him, or if it was Indra's twisted sense of humor, wanting him to watch them leave and then torment him little by little.

"Oh no... I was careless."

Lin Ze swallowed nervously.

He had never experienced failure from childhood to adulthood.

It wasn't just because of his talent, but also because of his extremely strong competitive spirit. He couldn't tolerate failure, so he worked desperately hard.

This is how it was in my past life, and this is how it is in this world.

He desperately improved his strength in order to protect his beloved, to ensure that he wouldn't lose, and to ensure that he himself wouldn't lose.

Throughout Lin Ze's time in the world of Godslayer, he has never experienced the taste of defeat.

Every time things seem hopeless, Lin Ze always manages to turn the tide.

Because he has confidence in himself, he believes in himself.

But this time, the fear of failure instantly enveloped him.

He panicked.

He was really panicked.

When they encountered formidable enemies before, they were at least on the same level.

It's a bit difficult, but there's still a chance.

Therefore, Lin Ze did not feel hopeless.

But this time it's different.

The enemy he needs to face is on a completely different level from him!

It's like you've become the strongest person on Earth, only to be suddenly told that you need to face a water droplet.

(Weapons of advanced civilizations in the Three-Body Problem novel)

You are preparing to rebel in the Tang Dynasty when you suddenly see a monkey with a hairy face next to the emperor, holding a golden cudgel weighing 108,000 jin.

That's roughly the concept.

Lin Ze is currently feeling desperate.

Before death, a person's mind will flash through a series of images from their life.

In his previous life, Lin Ze's life was too boring, he was always competing. It was only after coming to the world of God Slayer and meeting Lin Qiye that his life became colorful.

Lin Qiye always felt that Lin Ze was his salvation.

In fact, for Lin Ze, Lin Qiye was also his salvation.

He recalled all the little things they had gone through together.

The first time I drank with Qiye, the first time I gave him a gift, the first time...

Speaking of which, he had promised Qiye he would take him to see the aurora borealis.

I'm so sorry, Qiye, it seems the promise I made to you won't come true.

Once we get there, I'll wait for you to come and confront me.

"I have to say, this revolving lantern is quite realistic, it really looks like Qi Ye."

"It's as if he's standing right in front of me."

Looking at the figure in front of him that looked exactly like Lin Qiye, Lin Ze couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes.

"It's so good to see you one last time before I die."

Just as Lin Ze closed his eyes, preparing to accept his fate, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"This isn't the Lin Ze I know."

Lin Ze: "?!"
