Five hundred years of stacked Q, this one Q, unique and unparalleled throughout eternity!

"The Third Research Institute? Didn't Kong Xuan from the Imperial Security Department just go there?"

What research accident occurred at the Third Research Institute?

"Finally, someone has made a move against the Third Research Institute! The Beifeng family absolutely cannot produce another True God!"

"This is bad! The deduction diagram in the Third Research Institute is the only one available. We must send someone to preserve it!"

......

Similar sounds echoed throughout the capital, and the widespread natural disaster attracted the attention of almost the entire capital's elite.

So much so that the carnage that took place in the Marquis of the Imperial Star's mansion seemed so insignificant in the face of the massive earthquake before them.

In the central district, inside the Imperial Star Marquis's mansion, blood almost stained the luxurious residence red, and a large number of corpses were piled up haphazardly in the courtyard.

A group of extraordinary individuals, dressed in long black robes with dark gold sunflower patterns embroidered on their backs, stood in the courtyard.

The leader of the men in black robes asked, "Has everything been taken care of?"

"Except for the eldest son of the Marquis of Dixing, who was not at the residence, everyone else was dealt with."

However, we discovered a dungeon beneath the mansion, filled with a large number of slaves.

The leader of the black-robed men nodded slightly: "After all, none of the five sons of the Marquis of Dixing are good people, so it's not surprising that they would do such a thing."

"...My lord, most of the people in the dungeon are handsome male slaves, and there are even quite a few strong orcs, trolls, and goblins."

The leader of the black-robed men was stunned, and the other black-robed men present also fell silent.

After a long pause, the leader in black robes spoke with a hint of emotion:

"Are the ways of playing that are common among these nobles no longer enough for them?"

Then, the man in black robes ordered, "Release all those slaves!"

"But they saw who we were."

The man in black robes said meaningfully:

"His Majesty's act of making an example of someone is meant to scare the nobles! Unfortunately, tonight's major earthquake will undoubtedly attract the attention of the vast majority of people, so the effect of making an example of someone may not be very good."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the men in black robes disappeared into the courtyard.

Throughout the entire process, the defensive formations of the Emperor Star Marquis's residence showed no signs of being activated.

......

The Third Research Institute was completely destroyed, and in the deep crater left behind after that earth-shattering attack, Luo Tian looked at the crater, which covered tens of hectares and was hundreds of meters deep, with a slightly melancholy expression.

In fact, Luo Tian's original target was only all the insects in the Third Research Institute. He never thought that he would also blow up the hundreds of meters of soil between the ground and the research institute.

As a result, when viewed from the ground, a huge crater, the size of dozens of football fields and hundreds of meters deep, has appeared on the earth, like a deep scar left on the land of the capital.

The reason for this lies in the hundreds of thousands of souls that have not yet dispersed, which are accumulated below the Third Research Institute.

Of the hundreds of thousands of souls that were used as consumables, only a very small fraction were able to break free from the shackles of resentment and reincarnate, while the majority remained in the "ice room" where the materials were stored at the Third Research Institute.

Although the Star World has a death deity, due to the different world rules, the souls of the dead born from resentment are merely ordinary ghosts and cannot give birth to any vengeful spirits or undead, let alone affect the Third Research Institute.

When Luo Tian arrived and used Soul-Sucking Strike, the resentful souls began to frantically gather around him, actively increasing the number of stacks of Soul-Sucking Strike, so that the attack exceeded Luo Tian's expectations.

With a single strike, the Third Research Institute, along with the hundreds of meters of earth beneath it, was blasted away.

Recalling the frenzied souls of that moment, the despair they carried sent a chill down Luo Tian's spine.

If the golden scales that weigh the soul had not appeared, Luo Tian would probably have been affected by the resentment to some extent.

For example, transforming into a self-disciplined dog-headed person or something.

Thinking of this, Luo Tian couldn't help but turn his head to look behind him.

Although the phantom of the golden scales had disappeared, its earlier clear manifestation had saved Luo Tian from some minor troubles and made him clearly sense that the scales seemed to be related to death.

With a slight frown, Luo Tian couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"In my memory, there doesn't seem to be any setting about the Golden Scales in the game, and the title of Grim Reaper is just the enemy's fear of the Grim Reaper."

The original form of the dog's head is Anubis, the Egyptian god of death who controls death and possesses the golden scales for weighing souls.

Could this be related to Anubis?

Such doubts arose in Luo Tian's mind. Before Luo Tian could investigate further, the space in the deep pit in front of him suddenly distorted.

Then a figure dressed in a black and white maid dress, wielding a scarlet demon sword, flew out of the space and slammed heavily against the walls of the surrounding pit.

Meanwhile, in the same location, Kong Xuan, dressed in a silver robe and with a handsome face, crossed the spatial rift. Although he was arrogant, he was now somewhat disheveled.

However, it is clear that Kong Xuan had the upper hand in their battle. Without possessing a body, Aatrox was ultimately no match for a living god with spatial powers.

Kong Xuan looked at Shuang Ye with an arrogant expression, a smile playing on his lips as he was about to speak, but a tiny change in his gaze made him feel that something was wrong.

Looking around, Kong Xuan's view was filled with a huge pit covering tens of hectares and hundreds of meters deep.

The smile that had just appeared on his face froze completely.

Chapter 103 Let's kill them all together!

Kong Xuan was certain that the location where he had just entered the alternate dimension and fought Aatrox was in the underground base of the Third Research Institute.

The power displayed by that demonic sword surprised him, and he even faced the enemy before him with the utmost seriousness.

However, after emerging from the alternate dimension, the scene before him was somewhat incomprehensible to him.

"Is there such a huge pit around the capital?

"Did they modify my spatial coordinates and then lure me into a trap they had set beforehand?"

"That must be it, that must be it!"

I kept giving myself hypnotic affirmations in my mind, as if trying to use this method to muster some courage.

But the unchanging spatial coordinates around him, and the familiar shapes and outlines in the deep pit, made him feel a chill creeping up from the bottom of his heart.

Kong Xuan had considered that during his battle with Aatrox, other members of the Imperial Guard would encounter Luo Tian.

He imagined the Third Research Institute being destroyed in the battle, buried directly by the hundreds of meters of thick soil.

He had also made the worst-case scenario plan: the Imperial Security Department and Luo Tian would both suffer heavy losses, and he would then handle the aftermath.

But he never expected that such a chilling situation would occur.

Two demigods and seven saints, along with the vast research institute hidden deep underground and the hundreds of meters of soil, completely disappeared.

He could clearly sense that the surrounding space had not been extensively damaged; on the contrary, the air was filled with a kind of sublime and majestic aura of death.

This means that everything in front of us was not teleported away by space, but was forcibly annihilated by an absolutely powerful force.

In fact, once a mage reaches the Saint level of transcendence, they can master forbidden spells. With sufficient preparation, releasing the forbidden spell "Heavenly Fire Burns the City" can destroy a small city, and the resulting area of ​​effect is even greater than the deep pit in front of them.

However, whether it is a forbidden spell or a divine art performed by a true god, they are all essentially restricted within the framework of rules. Burning and destruction are merely simple material transformations, and even tearing apart the earth and freezing the ocean are still within the scope of understanding.

But the vast expanse of land that was abruptly annihilated before our eyes was an absolute transformation from existence to nothingness, directly exceeding the scope of Kongxuan's understanding.

Even his father, the God of Space in the world of gods, might not be able to achieve this, as it far exceeds the level he can contend with.

Even though he possessed spatial talent and was only one step away from ascending to godhood, he still lacked the confidence to escape such a terrifying attack.

Kong Xuan began to feel fear, and he subconsciously looked at Luo Tian.

He didn't believe Luo Tian could have such terrifying strength, but right now, the unknown being was stronger than him. It had destroyed the Third Research Institute and the Imperial Security Department, but left Luo Tian alone. This meant that Luo Tian was at least connected to that being.

Landing from mid-air on the thick ground in the deep pit, Kong Xuan looked at Luo Tian and uttered his first words since being teleported from another dimension.

"Actually, it was just a subtle misunderstanding."

Luo Tian raised an eyebrow, looking at Kong Xuan, who had taken the initiative to admit defeat, with some surprise.

He originally thought that as a strong person, Kong Xuan would show some arrogance and directly ignore the surrounding environment to make a move, or directly escape into the space.

But now it seems he was being a bit naive.

Seeing that Luo Tian did not respond, Kong Xuan immediately felt that this was a perfect opportunity, so he quickly continued:

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Kong Xuan, and I come from the world of gods."

My father is one of the three great spatial gods of the world of gods, belonging to the Radiant God-King.

"My purpose in coming to the Great Yin Empire in the World of Gods to serve as the Minister of Imperial Security is merely to fulfill the contract between my father and the first Sun King. In reality, I have no connection with the Great Yin Empire."

The Great Yin Empire has disrupted order in many planes with its path to godhood, and everyone has the right to kill it. If it weren't for the contract I was bound by, I would never have been willing to aid and abet the evildoer.

However, the contract is about to end, and my father is urging me to return to the world of the gods.

If you have any conflict with the Great Yin Empire, I will absolutely not interfere!

After a series of rhetorical questions, Kong Xuan first explained his background as the son of the God of Space in the world of gods, and his father's boss, the Radiant God King.

Then he directly stated that he had no feelings for the Great Yin Empire, that it was all a shady deal, and took the opportunity to denounce the Great Yin Empire for distancing itself from him.

After using a set of rhetoric, he completely absolved himself of any responsibility and subtly implied that before taking action against him, one should consider whether offending the Radiant God King's faction was truly worthwhile.

After listening to Kong Xuan's words, even Luo Tian couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It's really not easy to be a spoiled brat these days. At least you can't do it without some social skills and literary talent.

Those guys who directly reveal their identities and connections are pure idiots.

What was originally just a minor, insignificant conflict can become a source of concern once your identity is exposed. The other party might worry about retaliation afterward, so they might as well go all the way and kill you outright.

The optimal approach is to downplay conflict, like the Kongxuan method.

Having an optimal solution is one thing; whether Luo Tian, ​​the person reviewing the question, is willing to award points is another.

Looking at Kong Xuan with a half-smile, Luo Tian asked:

"The World of Gods? That's the Great Thousand World on the same level as the Abyss, Heaven, and the Xuanhuang Great World?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan immediately felt there was hope and quickly said:

"That's right, the world of gods is a famous world with many pantheons and numerous god-kings. Each god-king is comparable to the demon kings in the abyss whose fame resounds throughout the world."

As one of the most senior god-kings, the Radiant God-King wielded power comparable to the Seven Lords of Original Sin, making him one of the most powerful god-kings even within the world of gods.

Luo Tian nodded as if he had just realized something and said:

"The God-King's position is comparable to that of the Abyss Demon King, so he must be a powerful god-level figure."

So, does that mean your father, a subordinate of the God-King and a god of the three great dimensions, only possessed mid-level divine power?

Kong Xuan's face stiffened, and he felt a sudden twitch in his right eyelid.
