I would rather betray the gods

War is imminent.

The moonlight slowly descended from the sky and landed beside the pomelo.

"I thought you weren't going to get involved in this."

Yuzi glanced sideways at him, then fixed her gaze on Xu Xiangsheng.

"If we don't care about this and that, wouldn't we become parasites?"

Yuebai waved her arms and summoned her exclusive artifact, the [Thousand Stars].

A thousand stars have a thousand fragments, flowing like a river of stars around the moon.

"The ruler of Earth?" Xu Xiangsheng recognized Yue Bai's identity at a glance from her attire and smiled slightly.

"You are the Great Ruler, yet he doesn't seem to fear you at all."

Yu Zi pondered that Xu Xiangsheng would be somewhat wary of Yue Bai's identity.

"Aren't you a god too!"

Yuebai retorted sarcastically, his focused and battle-ready gaze telling him: We are both ready to fight.

That's true~

Yuzu understood perfectly.

Suddenly, he glanced at Yuebai, as if he had realized something: two people couldn't beat Xu Xiangsheng alone?!

Can we say that Yuebai is basically useless?

Clearly, the little overlord wouldn't dare to be so disrespectful to a dignified god-king, so Yuebai simply avoided his gaze.

"What are you two doing exchanging glances? I don't have time for that."

Xu Xiangsheng drew the sword from his back.

'Buzz~'

The sword had a white blade and a blue body, and emitted a series of buzzing sounds.

"Oh?"

Xu Xiangsheng learned from the sword intent that Youzi was someone who made the sword feel uneasy, as if there was something "dark" living in its heart, which made Xu Xiangsheng very interested.

"What are you doing, flirting with me like that again!"

Yuebai retorted with a sarcastic remark, and at the same time, with a wave of his hand, sent one or two out of a thousand stars flying out.

The thousands of star fragments that flew out surged like a tide, invisible yet more powerful than tangible, like a sharp blade aimed directly at Xu Xiangsheng's front.

Xu Xiangsheng immediately saw the danger. When these fragments were linked together, they formed a combined force. Once the force dispersed, the fragments would fight each other like a swarm of bees.

Therefore, resisting its sharp edge is only the first step; the most important thing is to resolve the scattered fragments that follow. He dares not be negligent in this regard.

Without a second thought, the Thousand Star Fragments arrived before him in the blink of an eye, and he used the energy of his sword tip to block the sharpness of the Thousand Star Fragments.

The two energies clashed, leaving only broken branches and willows scattered across the fields.

As he had expected, the thousand fragments of the star broke apart and fought independently. Each fragment was a unique divine weapon, and each fragment's attack route was unpredictable, making it truly dangerous.

He gripped the hilt of his sword and swung it amidst the shards, but even with his quick reflexes and sharp eyes, he was no match for the encirclement from all sides, and his figure was soon swallowed up by the light of the shards.

Occasionally, fragments were knocked away and fell, losing their luster.

"Disposable?" Yuzu asked.

"What kind of conditions are involved? An ancient artifact! How wealthy am I?"

Ignorance is bliss, and Yuebai couldn't believe these words came from the mouth of the God-King. She glanced at him.

At this moment, the lusterless fragments, like drones with poor endurance, regained their luster one by one after a short period of energy storage and gradually returned to Yuebai's side.

So that's how it is. I was being too simplistic, hehe~

Seeing this, Yuzi scratched his head.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, the moonlight appeared in front of Yuzi and opened a barrier.

Immediately following, a shockwave crashed in, carrying a large amount of debris and junk, including countless star fragments, any of which would be fatal if it hit you.

Yuzu spread her sleeves to cover her face, and could see clearly. She thought to herself that if it weren't for the moon-white barrier, she would have been riddled with holes by now.

Looking over there at Xu Xiangsheng, an eight-branched incantation disc was slowly disappearing from his body; the shockwave must have been caused by the disc's rotation.

At this moment, Xu Xiangsheng's clothes and skin were scratched by Qianbanxing, and he looked very angry.

He raised his sword and slashed, creating countless sword shadows. Then, he pointed, and the sword shadows lined up and rushed towards Yuebai, intending to use the same methods against him.

Not wanting the pomelo to be implicated, Yuebai leaped to the top of a tree, using a thousand stars as shield and blade to fight against the sea of ​​swords.

In an instant, swords flashed and spears clashed above the treetops!

The pomelo below wasn't idle either; it only glanced upwards a few times before being "deterred" by the rushing Xu Xiangsheng.

Yuzi leaped three times, dodging Xu Xiangsheng's sword strikes three times, which diminished his momentum and allowed him to build up his strength.

"A trivial skill."

Xu Xiangsheng didn't rush but laughed. He held the sword horizontally with one hand, and with the other hand, he held two fingers and slowly traced them along the blade. A light flashed across the entire sword.

Then he gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, swung it left and right, and plunged the sword pommel straight into the ground.

A skill, yet boundless.

In an instant, Yuzi felt the earth shake and saw the soil beneath her feet suddenly rise several feet high, like an earthen dragon standing alone on the ground.

Above it was a bell-shaped barrier of flowing light.

The structure, running vertically, resembles a giant birdcage.

Since I am a caged bird, then isn't the person walking the bird outside the cage a towering giant? Yuzu thought to herself.

He couldn't help but smile, realizing that there were no monsters that big on Earth.

Unexpectedly, his casual thought became a self-fulfilling prophecy. A huge face suddenly approached the luminous barrier and peered inside. One of the eyes on the huge face was as big as a soccer goal frame!

How did Xu Xiangsheng suddenly grow so big?!

Yuzu's brain kept adjusting its eye focus until it finally recognized the big face, and it secretly exclaimed in surprise.

Before he could calm down, Xu Xiangsheng reached into the 'birdcage' and grabbed the 'little bird' in his palm.

"I'd like to see what's hidden inside you."

As he spoke, Xu Xiangsheng placed his other hand's fingers on Youzi's chest and emitted a beam of light from his fingertips, which shone directly into Youzi's body.

As if exploring a world never seen before, Xu's expression showed a hint of doubt.

As he continued exploring, he seemed to discover something, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Just then, a chain emitting black flames emerged from Yuzu's body and wrapped around his hand that was holding Yuzu like a vine.

White smoke rose from wherever the chains touched him, causing excruciating pain. Xu Xiangsheng was shocked and hurriedly tried to pull his hand away, but he was so bound by the chains that it was difficult to let go.

In desperation, he could only use his other hand to pull and yank, which broke the chain and allowed him to stop.

At that very moment, Yuzu felt the world turn around and everything around her returned to normal. The earth was still the same intact earth, and not a single tree on either side was missing.

But the "point of power" slowly receding into his body made him realize that everything that had just happened was an effective illusion.

Xu Xiangsheng, who had failed in his attempt to steal a chicken, discovered that the matter was far from over. The broken chain on his right hand not only couldn't be broken off, but it also lashed out at his hand.

It was a mysterious power he had never felt before. He had no way to resist it, and he couldn't even resist it. As soon as a trace of star power flowed through his right hand, black electricity would surge through his right hand, accompanied by excruciating pain!

At this moment, the moon-white sword, having dissipated all its shadows, slowly landed beside Yuzu, forming a two-against-one situation with her.

Xu Xiangsheng drew his sword with his left hand and looked at the two of them. His awkward sword-wielding posture showed that he was not good at using a sword with his left hand, and the dulled sharpness in his eyes also proved that his fighting spirit was halved in the current state.

"Your Highness is so powerful; you weakened his fighting strength with just one move."

Looking at Xu Yi's right hand, Yuebai seemed even more confident of victory.

The reason she was so confident of victory was that she had just completed a great technique—connecting with the Earth's immune system through her higher self's state of mind, which was the same as the day she burned the text to open the Heavenly Way, and now Heaven was responding to it.

In this way, the Earth's immune system will attack what she perceives as dangerous.

After all, it is a planet-level immune mechanism, which could easily cause landslides and tsunamis, leading to widespread destruction. Therefore, Yuebai is one of the few rulers who can use this technique easily.

If Yuzu knew the crux of the matter, she would definitely tie her up and take her back to the Moon Palace to calm down.

The knowledgeable Xu Xiangsheng, seeing the unusual celestial phenomena, immediately realized what she had done, and was astonished that she would act so recklessly.

In his astonishment, Xu Xiangsheng had only one thought left: to escape Earth.

Because at this moment, he is like a virus in the eyes of the Earth. As long as he stays in the Earth's atmosphere for even a moment, the Earth's immune system will do everything in its power to eliminate him.

In addition, his right hand, which was afflicted with some kind of backlash, made him unsure whether he could evade the first wave of attacks from Earth's immune system. Even if he did, there would be a second or third wave at some unpredictable moment.

However, the aggressive aura of Yuebai and Youzi opposite him told him that Earth was not a carefree island he could come and go as he pleased.
