Transcending Godhood: I Extract Keywords and Crush the Gods

The place where Xingyun and the others were was a scene of devastation and ruins.

Large and small pits are scattered throughout the dark brown rock layers, and the bottom of the pits is filled with murky mud and water.

A thick layer of mixture of engine oil and metal shavings floats on the water's surface.

The corpses of the Shadow God mechanical servants were scattered all over the ground.

Just a few hours ago, this mechanical army, assimilated by Chu Xiaoxiao, was here carrying out a covert surveillance mission.

Now, they've all become scrap metal.

The broken mechanical track sank deep into the mud.

Half of a mechanical head was stuck diagonally in the mud, and its eerie blue electronic eyes had long since gone out.

Not far from this pile of mechanical wreckage.

Tens of thousands of Void Dream Spirit corpses were piled up in layers.

These wondrous creatures, born and raised in the void, all met a gruesome end.

Their transparent, jelly-like bodies are shriveled and withered, like withered leaves that have been exposed to the sun for many days.

The tentacles used to traverse the void were broken into pieces.

The remaining power of spatial laws flowed from the wound, forming tiny spatial vortexes around the corpse, which then quickly collapsed.

This was the result of three alien deities joining forces to annihilate them.

Above the ruins, three figures each occupied a position.

Eve treads on the void.

Her silver, star-studded robe was spotless.

A diamond-shaped star crystal floats overhead, continuously showering silver light and forming a circular shield that isolates it from external filth.

Ilya sat on the Star Staff, her legs swinging gently.

In her eyes, the ruins below were filthy and disgusting; even a glance at them would offend the eyes of the Protoss.

Mondo crouched on a protruding boulder.

He was holding a thigh bone and using the tip of the bone to pick the bits of meat out of his teeth.

The three people are below.

Hundreds of millions of elite family members were arranged in neat square formations.

Only a few hundred million.

For gods who can easily summon billions, this number can only be considered a small guard squad.

Within the Protoss formation.

The Starlight Mages were dressed in neat robes and held Buddhist scriptures in their hands.

The Star Knights rode unicorns that glowed with light, their spears forming a forest.

Within the Titans' ranks.

There are only over 30 million rock trolls clad in heavy armor.

They all kept a backup plan, refraining from summoning all their relatives in a grand manner.

The situation in the Blood Pact Arena changes in an instant.

If the troops are deployed too far apart, it will take a lot of time just to retrieve their families in case of an emergency.

These hundreds of millions of elite troops are just enough to form an effective defensive formation.

It can both thwart surprise attacks and break up large groups into smaller ones in a timely manner.

If danger arises, simply open the divine realm portal; everyone can evacuate within minutes.

Starfall knelt in the mud ten meters away from Eve.

Maintain the position with both knees on the ground and the upper body leaning forward.

Hands braced against the cold mud.

His silver combat uniform was tattered, revealing large patches of bruises and welts underneath.

The most fatal thing is the Celestial Death Mark on his forehead.

The mark was like a living venomous snake, coiled deep within his soul.

He would take a bite every now and then, and the pain made him tremble all over.

Xingyun lowered his head, gazing intently at his reflection in the puddle.

Deep in his eyes, fear grew wildly like weeds.

Things were completely out of his control.

When he encountered these three menacing figures before, he didn't hesitate to kneel down and act like a dog in order to save his life.

They betrayed Lin Yuan and their compatriots in exchange for a chance to prolong their lives.

He thought it was just a secret deal.

In this secluded blood pact arena, no one will know what he did.

Once he survives, he can easily make up an excuse, saying that he fought a bloody battle and escaped by sheer luck.

But just now...

Eve directly exposed the enemy lurking in the shadows.

He hid to the side and clearly saw how the mechanical deity and the Void Dream Spirit died at the hands of the three alien races.

At that moment, Xingyun's heart sank to the bottom.

Void Dream Spirits, Bai Ye's signature companions. Mechanical Army, Chu Xiaoxiao's forte.

These two human deities are nearby!

What does this mean?

His ugly behavior of groveling and fawning was laid bare for all to see!

Xingyun gritted his teeth, making a grinding sound.

He could already imagine what would happen to him when he returned to the human star system after the blood pact war ended.

In the Supreme Council's courtroom.

"Look! This is the Xing family's genius! Working like a dog for others!"

"Betraying information on your own people! You traitorous lackey!"

He will be completely overwhelmed by a deluge of infamy.

The old-fashioned Xing family, who usually had high hopes for him, would personally strip him of all his rights.

Discard your talent.

Withdraw divine power.

Thrown into the most remote interstellar prison, never to rise again.

No.

This must never be allowed to happen.

Xingyun took a deep breath, the stench of muddy water filling his lungs and slightly clearing his feverish mind.

We must find a way out.

He quickly considered countermeasures in his mind.

The worst course of action: stubbornly deny everything.

Yes, that's the most direct way.

When I return to the human race, I'll just lie down on the floor of the council hall.

With tears streaming down their faces, they denounced the brutality of the foreign race.

"Elders! Fellow councilors! I'm innocent!"

"The moment I entered the Blood Pact Arena, I was struck by the Protoss's vicious divine magic!"

"They planted this damned mark on my soul! They robbed me of my sanity!"

"Everything I did afterward, every word I said, was manipulated by them!"

"I, Xingyun, was born a human, and I will die a human. How could I possibly betray you!"

Xingyun rehearsed this line repeatedly in her mind.

The performance was vivid and expressive.

He even meticulously planned when to shed tears and when to beat his chest in frustration.

Anyway, the Protoss Death Mark is right on my forehead, that's solid proof.

As long as you act miserable enough, you can let mind control take all the blame.

Even if those old guys have doubts, they'll at least give them a way out out of respect for the Xing family's background.

However, this is ultimately a poor choice.

His reputation will definitely be damaged, and he will never be able to hold his head high within the human race again.

What about the middle strategy?

The middle course is to atone for one's crimes by performing good deeds.

If we really run into Lin Yuan and Bai Ye and his gang later...

He took advantage of the fact that the alien race was fighting with them and suddenly turned against them.

They delivered a fatal blow to these three alien races from behind.

Then, with a righteous air, he said to Bai Ye and the others, "Brothers! I've endured humiliation and hardship all this time, waiting for this chance to strike a fatal blow!"

But he touched the mark on his forehead.

No.

If he dared to make the slightest move, Eve could ignite his soul with a single thought.

This risk is too great.

Then, the best option remains.

A stunning reversal.

In this blood pact arena, there are relics and fragments of the origin left by ancient gods everywhere.

If you're lucky, you might find an incredible opportunity.

He broke through the barrier of the sixth level of demigod and leaped to the seventh and eighth levels.

Or they could go on a killing spree here, slaughtering all the alien races.

He single-handedly led the human race to a complete victory in the Blood Pact War.

At that point, who would dare to judge him?

Who would dare to criticize him now?

Power is everything.

He is the greatest contributor to the human race!

At that time, he will write a book, titled "Undercover Among Ten Thousand Races: My Years of Humiliation and Hardship in the Blood Pact Field".

To portray oneself as a lone hero willing to bear the infamy for the greater good.

"In order to find out the enemy's details, I put aside my dignity."

"For the sake of humanity's future, I have endured endless humiliation."

The more Xingyun thought about it, the more perfect the plan seemed.

He had even planned out his opening remarks for his future speech at Starry Sky University.

The fear in my heart dissipated, and a strange fervor surged up.

He shifted his knees slightly to make his kneeling position more comfortable.

My back straightened up a bit without me even realizing it.

This isn't kneeling; this is lying low.

midair.

Eve noticed Starfall's movements.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Is this bug out of its mind?

He was trembling like a sieve just now, but now he's puffing out his chest, and there's a strange sense of pride in his eyes.

Nausea.

Eve looked away, unwilling to glance at the human again.

She turned her head to look in the southeast direction.

On the distant horizon, the faint sounds of explosions could be heard.

Dark red clouds kept bursting open, and various divine lights intertwined.

"That was a really intense fight."

Ilya sat on her staff, swinging her legs, her tone as relaxed as if she were watching a fireworks display.

"That's right," Eve replied casually. "The angels have really mobilized their entire force this time."

They stayed here, naturally with no intention of going to fight.

Several days ago.

Austin, that jerk.

He relied on the fact that he had unearthed the legacy of an ancient god in a ruin.

They were required to converge and launch a high-level siege against the human race.

Its tail was practically sticking up to the sky.

He always acts like the leader of all races, bossing everyone around him.

Eve and Ilya despise those hypocrites with wings and fangs.

Therefore, they completely ignored Austin's call-up.

They made up a flimsy excuse about "blocking the edge and cutting off their escape route" and hid in this remote corner with their families.

An attack on the human race?

Let anyone who wants to do this arduous task do it.

According to the information they gathered, there were a few tough guys among the human team that entered the Blood Pact Arena this time.

Especially that Lin Yuan.

Austin boasted about how great he was, but he still got easily defeated by someone else outside.

And then there's that mechanical madman who has mastered the means to assimilate deities.

The small and medium-sized races we encountered along the way all became our parts processing plants.

What made the two women even more wary was a piece of information about the "Black Mist Disaster".

It is said that behind the human army was a terrifying black fog stretching for tens of thousands of miles.

It harbors incomprehensible monsters that leave nothing but desolation in their wake.

Eve and Ilya are not stupid.

Angels, demons, and insectoids—these idiots whose minds are filled with nothing but muscles and slaughter—are willing to be the first to stick their necks out; let them be.

They won, and they suffered no losses.

After losing the battle, they immediately activated their divine domain and fled.

They would be happy if both sides could fight to the death.

"Sis, do you think Austin and his team can win?" Ilya peeled open a crystal-clear Star Fruit and popped it into her mouth.

"It's hard to say." Eve shook her head. "Humans have always been cunning. If they dare to sweep through the Blood Pact Arena so openly, they must have made some preparations."

"Let them be, we're fine watching the show here."

The two communicated internally through a special starlight frequency.

On the giant rock below.

Mondo also stared at the firelight to the southeast.

He pinched the thigh bone in his hands until it cracked.

He was extremely agitated.

The Blood Pact Field is too big.

So far, we haven't encountered a single Titan of the same race.

He felt completely unsafe surrounded by people of other races.

Especially given the current situation.

A massive battle ensued between various factions.

He's all alone, and if he's not careful, he could become cannon fodder for others to rack up points.

What made him even more uneasy were the two Protoss women above him.

On the surface, they pretend to be extremely aloof.

In reality, he's full of bad intentions.

They forced him to stay here, euphemistically calling it "joint defense."

In reality, they're just using him as a free meat shield.

If they really encounter an enemy they can't defeat, these two women will definitely run faster than anyone else, leaving him to cover their retreat.

No.

We must understand the current situation.

Alone and without any clansmen to support them, they are easily among the first to be purged.

He had to get there quickly and, while the battle was still chaotic, find a powerful team to pledge his loyalty to.

Staying here to watch the play would do him no good whatsoever.

Mundo took a deep breath and put on his signature good-natured smile.

He stood up and called out to Eve, who was in mid-air.

"My lords!"

"There's such a big commotion in the southeast; it looks like the fighting is quite intense."

He rubbed his large, fan-like hands together, looking worried.

"Are we just going to sit here and wait?"

"What if Lord Austin and his men can't hold out and those human guys escape? Wouldn't we be doomed too?"

"How about I take some of my brothers over there to help our compatriots?"

Eve didn't even turn her head.

Ilya glanced down at him.

That look in his eyes was like looking at a pile of fermenting garbage.

This big guy is all muscle and speaks without thinking.

Going to provide support? Do they really think they're some kind of tough guy?

"What's your rush?" Ilya said dismissively.

"Angels, demons, and machines have joined forces this time, with a total of 13 deities from first-class races."

"He's accompanied by an army of hundreds of billions of family members."

"This number of people is more than enough to deal with a mere few humans."

Eve added in a cold voice.

"Our mission is to hold this line of defense. To ensure that no one escapes from here."

"You stay put and keep an eye on your family. Don't wander around and cause trouble."

"If we encounter a formidable enemy, we'll take care of that."

Mundo nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, what you two gentlemen say makes sense."

"I'm not very bright and can't understand all these complicated things, so I'll just follow your orders and stand guard!"

He retreated back onto the giant rock and squatted down again.

The moment he lowered his head, the憨厚 smile on his face vanished completely.

damn it.

Those two bitches are no good at all!

The words were spoken in a grand and dignified manner.

What is responsible for dealing with powerful enemies?

You're kidding me!

I could guess what he was thinking even with my toes.

They want me to be cannon fodder for them, scouting ahead.

No way.

Just when the four deities each harbored their own ulterior motives and maintained a facade of harmony.

Above us, the sky was a dark red.

Suddenly it started to boil and churn like boiling water.

The surrounding temperature was soaring at an alarming rate.

The muddy water on the ground bubbled and rose in wisps of white mist.

Eve suddenly looked up, her starry eyes narrowing.

Above, the thick, blood-red clouds were torn apart.

Countless dazzling orbs of light, trailing long, pale white flames, tore through the void and descended from the sky!

Wherever the flames passed, the barriers of space shattered like glass.

It left behind vast expanses of pitch-black, turbulent void.

Their target is this very position!

The opponent's speed was unbelievable.

One second they were still in the clouds, the next they were already approaching 10,000 meters overhead!

"Enemy attack!"

Ilya screamed.

The aura emanating from those flames was terrifying.

Just by looking at him, I felt a burning sensation in my soul.

If she wasn't stopped, the entire position would be in danger, not only for her family but also for herself.

"Form ranks! Defend with all your might!"

Eve roared angrily.

She raised the Star Staff high.

The star crystal at the top of the staff burst forth with a light even more dazzling than the sun.

Below, hundreds of millions of elite Protoss servants sprang into action.

The Starlight Mages flipped through their magic books, squeezing out all the star power within their bodies.

The Star Knight raised his lance and channeled energy into the sky.

Endless silver starlight shot into the sky.

Guided by Eve and Ilya, a six-pointed star defensive array covering an area of ​​tens of miles was constructed in the sky.

The array diagram contains intricate divine runes that draw energy from the surrounding space to thicken the barrier.

Mundo was terrified.

He no longer had time to scheme against those two women.

If it were to fall, none of us would be in a good position.

"Shield of the Earth!"

Mundo roared, and his body instantly expanded, growing into a bronze giant a thousand meters tall.

He slammed his fists heavily into the ground, and the thirty million rock trolls below him exerted their power simultaneously.

Countless layers of rock, as thick as mountains, are stacked together.

Beneath the Protoss's hexagram array, a second defensive barrier was constructed, layer upon layer.

While they were focusing all their attention on maintaining the defenses above their heads.

Beneath their feet, deep within what they believed to be the safest and most secure position.

Spots of water began to seep from the dark brown rock surface.

Initially, the water stains appeared transparent.

In just a few breaths, the water stains turned into a thick, ink-black liquid.

Black waters converge to form streams, and streams converge to form pools.

Silently, wisps of cold black mist seeped from the ground, quietly enveloping the ankles of hundreds of millions of elite family members.

The Titan Earthshaker ahead was still roaring at the sky, holding up his giant stone shield.

Completely unaware that his legs were already submerged in the black mist.

A faint, liquid-metal-like luster quietly surged within the depths of the black mist.

Black mist churned.

"Gurgle..."

A strange sound of a bubble bursting echoed from underground.

Then, inside the dense, impenetrable black fog.

A dark blue mechanical eyeball, as large as a house, slowly opened.

Then came the second, and the third.

Hundreds and thousands of eerie blue eyeballs lit up directly below the position.

Eight long legs covered in barbs slowly stretched out at the edge of the black mist.

Fire descended from the sky.

The earth gave rise to the Black Abyss.

The decisive situation has been set in stone.
