I'm not just human!

In other words, even if someone possesses eternal credentials such as "Eternal Disguise" or "Eternal Stealth," they might not be able to use them in front of Xia Fa.

Of course, the premise is that they are of similar status to him, and not too much higher.

Even so, [Eternal Secret] is not one of the strongest dozens of eternal credentials, so you can imagine how powerful [Eternal Critical Strike] must be.

Taking a deep breath and calming himself slightly, Xia Fa looked down at the City of Ten Thousand Stars.

From his vantage point, he had a perfect view of the City of Ten Thousand Stars below.

At this moment, apart from the occasional rat or cockroach crawling across the ground, the City of Ten Thousand Stars was utterly silent.

Add to that the magnificent castles and the enormous treats like candy or chicken legs, and it looks like a quiet fairytale kingdom.

If only this fairytale kingdom didn't have that Silver Cleaner and those twenty-odd Bronze Cleaners.

Indeed, not long after Xia Fa arrived near the City of Ten Thousand Stars, he witnessed with his own eyes a Star Spirit Rift that stretched for ten thousand meters above the city.

Then, a Silver Cleaner, also ten thousand meters in size, emerged, accompanied by more than twenty Bronze Cleaners.

To be precise, there were twenty-three Bronze Cleaners; he had already counted them several times.

"What should I do..."

Although he had long realized that obtaining the [Eternal Critical Strike] was not so simple, he had desperately tried to become stronger by any means necessary in the past few days, even risking consuming the "Mutant Crystal Source" to obtain three extremely powerful mutations and become a mutant.

However, Xia Fa still didn't expect that even the Silver Cleaners would come, and they brought a full twenty-three Bronze Cleaners with them!

What is this for?

The Cleaners...aren't they incapable of absorbing and containing the [Eternal Proof]?

At this moment, Xia Fa could only be thankful that he had chosen to hide in a place that was relatively far from the City of Ten Thousand Stars from the beginning.

Otherwise, he would probably have been frozen and killed by that silver cleaner by now.

The Silver Cleaner was wielding a very rare weapon—a large axe. The axe's shape was similar to an axe, but it was larger and appeared much more solemn and majestic.

Xia Fa remembered that in ancient times, the great axe was used for ceremonial purposes and for military campaigns. He wondered if this Silver Cleaner, who was holding a silver axe, might have any special abilities.

He was silently observing the Cleaners' every move, while waiting for the [Eternal Critical Strike] to truly appear.

But just then, the Silver Cleaner brandished his great axe and spoke solemnly:

"Bring him up, and then begin the alert. Remember, I will not allow any accidents to happen, and neither will Lord Alm the Greatbow, understand?"

The twenty-three bronze cleaners raised their bronze lances in unison and answered in a resounding voice:

"As ordered!"

Immediately, they actually dispersed and formed a circle around the outer perimeter of the City of Ten Thousand Stars.

Only one Bronze Cleaner remained, but he turned his horse around and walked back into the massive, ten-thousand-meter-long Star Spirit Rift, seemingly to retrieve the "thing" the Silver Cleaner had mentioned.

This……

Xia Faren was dumbfounded. He had thought he would first encounter Dionysius, and at most run into some insane gods or similar unknown beings attracted by the [Eternal Critical Strike].

But judging from this situation, Dionysius probably wouldn't dare to come.

Although this mysterious emperor of the Silver Church may not know what the "Cleansers" are, the terrifying divine aura emanating from the Bronze Cleansers and the even more powerful and suffocating Outer God aura emanating from the Silver Cleansers are undeniable.

"What should I do..."

Xia Fa was now truly in a dilemma. He couldn't do without [Eternal Critical Strike], as it involved what Lord [Paradox Clown] had said about the foundation for becoming a true god.

In other words, to become a true god and absorb the first eternal certificate, one must be one of the strongest of the dozens, which is equivalent to one of the highest-ranking authorities.

But now, with the Cleaners putting up such a show of force, obtaining the [Eternal Critical Strike] is probably harder than climbing to heaven.

Just then, the Bronze Cleanser who had entered the Protoss Rift emerged from it again.

Its size was deliberately reduced to only a few dozen meters tall, but it was carrying a human as if it were a chick.

That is……!

Xia Fa's eyes widened suddenly, and his pupils trembled uncontrollably at that moment.

In the hands of the bronze cleaner was a mysterious emperor dressed as an adventurer.

It was... the one I had seen at Gilgamesh's grand banquet!

At that time, this mysterious emperor, who looked like an adventurer, was joking around with Patriarch Heimdall and Pope Hercules. They were obviously very familiar with each other, and Shafa was quite impressed by this.

But unexpectedly, He was captured by the Cleaners?

This mysterious emperor, who looked like an adventurer, was not only captured by the Cleaners, but also looked like a beggar with his clothes tattered and his hair in a mess.

What's even more chilling is that his eyes were lifeless, his mouth was crooked, and he was constantly drooling semi-transparent saliva, which dripped onto his clothes.

It seems that He has transformed from that spirited young Mystic Emperor into a mindless puppet.

"Lord Yin Yue, the person has been brought!"

The Bronze Cleaner then presented the Mysterious Emperor to the Silver Cleaner with both hands.

The silver cleaner waved his hand dismissively:

"Move aside, move aside. These extraordinary insects look dirty to me. Just keep a close watch on Him and wait for [Eternal Critical Strike] to appear next."

"Yes, sir!"

It turns out that this silver cleaner has a name: Silver Axe...

Xia Fa finally learned the name of the Silver Cleaner, but he didn't know the logic behind the Cleaners' naming.

Why is the Golden Cleaner, who wields a giant golden bow, named Alm the Greatbow, with a full name and surname, while the Silver Cleaner's name is only two characters?

"Wait, could it be that they're going to...!"

Suddenly, a cold glint flashed in his mind, and Xia Fa immediately realized the purpose of these cleaners' visit.

Since they specifically captured a Mystic Emperor and destroyed his soul, rendering him mindless and a puppet to be controlled by others,

So, the Cleaners' goal must be to seize the [Eternal Critical Strike], have the Great Emperor of Mystery absorb and contain it on the spot, and then control Him to sacrifice Himself to fully activate the [Eternal Critical Strike]!

In this way, just like when Pope Nidhogg sacrificed himself, once the "Eternal Critical Strike" is fully activated, it will transform into the concept and authority of "Critical Strike" in the universe, returning to the universe itself.

In this way, at least for the next year, there will be no need to worry about anyone getting the [Eternal Critical Strike].

"What a vicious scheme..."

Xia Fa's gaze narrowed slightly, and a strong killing intent towards the Cleaners rose in his heart once again.

They went to great lengths and used every means at their disposal to prevent the extraordinary beings from obtaining the "Proof of Eternity".

In particular, to fully activate the eternal certificate, it is not necessary to absorb and contain it completely; it is enough to absorb and contain it initially, or to become the owner of that eternal certificate.

The original Nidhogg Pope almost became a god because he didn't fully absorb and accept the "Eternal Chaos," but he still managed to sacrifice himself at the last moment, completely unleashing the "Eternal Chaos."

"It seems we can only wait until [Eternal Critical Strike] is released before trying to find a solution. Maybe things will take a turn for the better..."

Seeing that the City of Ten Thousand Stars was now surrounded by massive bronze cleaners, and the silver cleaner named Silver Axe was stationed above the City of Ten Thousand Stars, forbidding any entity from interfering.

Xia Fa had no choice but to wait and see.

But at that moment, the silver-clad cleaner's gaze sharpened, a cold glint flashed in his eyes beneath his mask, and he swung out his silver axe.

It actually used the supreme killing technique that Xia Fa had seen before, and directly struck the void not far ahead.

At the same time, a semi-transparent thin film covered the silver axe, and the void itself seemed to evade its strike, turning that area into nothingness.

Even if this strike only hits the void, if no one stops it, it could shatter the City of Ten Thousand Stars below and even the entire Worm Islands!

Even though Caligi is the location of the Earthly Kingdom of the Silver Universe and the Nature Monarch, and the planet itself has been blessed and reinforced by the two righteous gods, it is still difficult for it to withstand a single blow from the Silver Cleanser, who possesses the strength of a peak Outer God!

But just then, from nowhere, two fingers wrapped in bandages stretched out.

With a soft "ding," the two bandaged fingers effortlessly caught the silver axe that the Silver Cleaner had brought down.

Immediately, a bandaged man, his body wrapped in bandages, emerged from the void, sitting in a magnificent golden coffin.

“I’m telling you, Silver Axe, such a strong killing intent is not good. If you shatter the City of Ten Thousand Stars and affect the birth of [Eternal Critical Strike], you can’t afford the consequences.”

The silver cleaner pulled back the silver axe that had been caught in the grip with one hand, his eyes gleaming even colder:

"【The Undying Mummy】, instead of hiding in the Protoss Realm, you dare to get involved in this matter?"

The Immortal Mummy smiled, its dark eyes peeking out from beneath the bandages filled with pleasure:

"What, you still want to scare me with your Golden Cleansers? Don't think I don't know, now only Alm Greatbow and Gastis Greataxe are left, and they don't have time to chase me, hahaha!"

The silver cleaner then let out a cold laugh:

"Chase you down? You don't deserve it. You're just lucky that you always manage to escape before the Golden Cleaners arrive."

As it spoke, it suddenly brandished its large silver axe, as if issuing some kind of command:

"Attack! Kill this scoundrel!"

The twenty-three bronze cleaners turned around in unison, preparing to form an extremely powerful battle formation.

But the [Immortal Mummy] remained calm and unhurried, instead lying down on the golden coffin inlaid with gems and decorated with reliefs, and a beach chair made of sand immediately appeared.

"Come on, I want to see if you, the bunch of cleaners who deserve to be torn apart, still have the strength to deal with other Outer Gods and unknown beings after you've killed me."

It would have been better if He hadn't said anything. As soon as He said that, the Silver Cleaner seemed to realize something, and his cold eyes under his mask suddenly swept across the surrounding air.

Immediately, his eyelids drooped, and he murmured:

"So many..."

The next moment, a dazzling array of strange figures appeared in the air.

First, there was a bizarre, blue, fleshy-looking superdimensional embryo, covered with broken bones and deformed blood vessels growing between the bones.

Next was a philosophical attendant whose head was two books facing each other, wearing a familiar white scholar's robe, but the metal circles at the collar and cuffs were made of pure white, light-reflecting silver.

Then there was an unknown being that looked like a lizard, whose entire body—from its head to its torso to its limbs—was inlaid with iron-gray rings engraved with ancient runes.

In addition, there was a giant worm that looked like a worm, with rows of sharp teeth in its mouthparts, but its body was covered with talismans.

And, a round, transparent bubble with rather cute facial features, floating in the air.

These are all non-humanoid beings, clearly unknown entities from the Protoss realm.

As for the human form, there was a young man dressed like a gentleman, holding a curved magic wand.

And a majestic knight clad in metal armor, wearing a red cloak, and carrying a giant sword on his shoulder.
