I'm not just human!

This was the first time he had truly felt the urge to lose control due to the immense power within him.

Just as he was preparing to mobilize the strange current at his tailbone to suppress it with all his might,

A gentle yet authoritative voice rang in his mind once again.

"You must firmly believe that you are the strongest. All other beings are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs. Even power comparable to that of a true god can be easily used by you."

"You are the only one in this world."

These seemingly childish words resonated like a great bell, striking Xia Fa's heart directly.

Xia Fa's eyes changed instantly, becoming even more domineering than [Absolute Defense], filled with an air of looking down on the world. He even straightened his chest and back.

His slightly wavy black hair billowed up even without wind, and coupled with his tall and strong physique, he looked like a world-destroying demon god.

From afar, Xia Fa, within the grand ritual array, aimed a palm strike directly at the distant [Cataclysmic Tyrant], uttering two words:

"insect……"

In that instant, a massive sword, capable of spanning half a star field, descended from above the [Catastrophe Tyrant]'s head with the force to cleave through galaxies!

This horse-slaying sword was not only extremely ferocious in its attack, but also had phantom images of giant elephants, lion kings, and divine birds appearing on its blade. There was also lightning swirling, storms sweeping, blazing light bursting, and countless silver steam and dazzling starlight spreading throughout.

But that wasn't all. Countless kingdom soldiers appeared on the back of the blade, pushing it forward with all their might, causing a second burst of acceleration. A giant whale and a queen bee circled the blade, as if performing some kind of mysterious ritual.

The enormous and blurry figure of the [Catastrophe Tyrant] turned around almost without hesitation, clasped his hands together, and pushed directly at the horse-slaying sword.

In an instant, a fierce wind arose in the starry sky, and the "wind disaster" swept over.

The first to be affected are meteorites; any meteorites that come into contact with the storm will be instantly reduced to dust.

Then there were the planets, which were instantly reduced to dust by such a storm.

Finally, even some galaxies and black holes suffered, proving utterly powerless against the storm and being swept away completely.

It gives the impression that such a windstorm, once it blows up, could easily destroy the entire universe!

Finally, the typhoon was approaching, and the sword of destruction was about to fall.

In that instant, both the true gods and the false gods stopped what they were doing for a moment and looked at the two that were about to collide.

Chapter 438 Gastis the Great Axe is here?

How dare a mere subordinate god attack the "Cataclysmic Tyrant," one of the nine false righteous gods?

Even knowing that Xia Fa might possess the strongest divine form, even more powerful than [Absolute Defense], the group of false gods were still somewhat taken aback.

Even Julius, unusually, stopped the golden axe he was about to smash down, and his gaze immediately focused on Xia Fa within the Ritual and Imperial Array.

It narrowed its eyes slightly, as if observing, or perhaps... waiting.

The raging storm, seemingly capable of sweeping the entire universe clean, finally collided with the massive, galaxy-sized sword.

For a fleeting moment, the Star Spirit Sky seemed to fall silent, but this was not a deathly silence; rather, it was the calm before an explosion, brewing some extremely terrifying fluctuation.

boom!!!!!

The next instant, an unimaginable circular wave erupted from the point where the windstorm and the horse-slaying sword collided, expanding at an extremely fast speed and sweeping across billions of light-years in an instant.

Along the way, the divine realms and extraordinary tombs, as well as various small worlds, ghost realms, and planets that had already been destroyed by the aftershocks of Julius's repeated attacks, were all further destroyed once again, turning into dust and even nothingness.

Both the power of the windstorm and the destructive force of the horse-slaying sword were terrifying.

Within a radius of billions of light-years around the city where gold and pounds converge, a rare vacuum has formed.

At this moment, many of the Outer Gods who had dared to watch the battle from the City of Gold Pounds finally understood why the Silver Universe had transferred all the extraordinary beings in the universe to the City of Gold Pounds ahead of schedule.

The battle between the divine beings can indeed easily sweep across the entire universe and even the Protoss Realm.

"not good!"

Almost immediately, a furious voice rang out, a voice that sounded like a howling wind, a raging thunder, and frost spreading across the land, instilling an uncontrollable fear in anyone who heard it.

It's like... the disaster itself.

Everyone turned to the [Cataclysmic Tyrant], only to see that around His enormous and blurry figure, countless strange phenomena such as wind disasters, droughts, and light disasters had become billions of times more violent, carrying a power capable of destroying the world, and all of them were surging towards the city where gold pounds were gathered.

Surprisingly, His target was not Xiafa within the Ritual and Imperial Array, but rather... the place within the Ritual and Imperial Array that had been destroyed by Julius!

But it was already too late.

Just as Xia Fa made his move, attacking the [Cataclysmic Tyrant] with his horse-slaying sword and forcing it to respond, the "disaster" power that the [Cataclysmic Tyrant] had applied to the layers of damaged golden membranes of the Ritual Guardian Array was also neutralized at the same moment.

With this offsetting effect, all the destroyed golden films were instantly healed.

All the damage Julius had painstakingly caused... had been wasted.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The various calamities created by the 【Cataclysmic Tyrant】finally struck the already healed Ritual Array.

Although thousands of layers of golden film were shattered immediately, it was clearly insignificant compared to the hundreds of thousands of layers of golden film that Julius had already broken.

Xia Fa witnessed all of this and finally understood why the [Silver Universe] had asked him to deal with the [Cataclysmic Tyrant] – it turned out they were waiting for him here.

Needless to say, the Ritual and Imperial Array can hold out for a while longer.

Perhaps because the attack was effective, he relaxed and suddenly felt waves of exhaustion washing over him.

As a follower of the divine rank, when he fought against a true god, even with just one strike and the added power of the entire universe's celestial forces, he still felt as if his body had been drained of its energy.

In particular, the most mysterious Ninth God had given him a psychological suggestion, helping him control the sudden astral power comparable to that of a true god.

While this was very effective, even allowing him to unleash a far more domineering attack on the [Cataclysmic Tyrant] than usual, the consequence was that his mental energy was about to be exhausted.

"So this is the difference between me and a true god..."

Xia Fa murmured to himself, feeling that although the gap was huge, it seemed that once he was promoted to Outer God, it would be easy to make up for it.

He quickly glanced at the area where his mental body and celestial body met, where one of the many overlord-level secret contracts stood—the "Primal Stomach."

The next instant, Xia Fa's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't suppress the joy welling up inside him.

"really……!"

Having only exchanged one move with a being of godhood, even just that one move, the comprehensible progress of his original stomach had already reached one hundred percent!

I have to say, this method is incredibly useful!

"We have to thank the Ninth God and the [Silver Universe] for this. Oh, and the [Error Rules], the Ritual and Imperial Array must have been controlled by Him..."

"By the way, why won't the Ninth God let me know His name yet?"

A strange thought popped into Xia Fa's mind, and he felt his body fall, landing back on the streets of the city where gold pounds converged.

He was just about to use his divine power to stabilize himself when he suddenly felt his body enveloped by dazzling flames imbued with spatial power. In a flash, he landed on a chair by the street.

"Impressive, Xia Fa."

A captivating voice rang out from not far away. Xia Fa looked up and saw [Flame Princess] sitting with her long legs crossed, wearing a tight red leather outfit.

At that moment, the children of the righteous gods, such as [Overpressure Collapse] and [Observer of All Things], also flew over. It was unclear whether they had received orders from the righteous gods, but they seemed to have all rushed over to protect Xia Fa.

They even immediately formed a defensive formation in front of him.

"Thank you... everyone..."

Xia Fa is now completely exhausted. He risked his life in his divine body to clash with the "Cataclysmic Tyrant," one of the fake Nine True Gods, and it was fortunate that nothing more serious happened.

Of course, under the scheme of the Ninth God and the protection of the Ritual Array of the [Error Rules], it seemed that problems were not likely to occur.

"Xia Fa, although there are many incredible or completely unfathomable things in our world, it's only been a little over a day since we last met, and you've already progressed from the strength of a quasi-Celestial Venerable to being almost at the level of a True God. This is truly..."

The Observer of All Things adjusted his glasses, glanced at Xia Fa, and sighed.

The children of the true gods are all knowledgeable and worldly-wise, so it goes without saying that Xia Fa was able to go head-to-head with the [Cataclysmic Tyrant] with the support of the power of the stars all over the world. Only someone with strength that is infinitely close to that of a true god could do that!

From another perspective, Xia Fa... might even be stronger than the current First Heavenly Venerable!

The First Venerable is considered by some to be the Primordial Saintess, by others to be the Lord of Transdimensionality, and by many more to be the extremely mysterious First Entity.

But no matter what, Xia Fa is definitely qualified to compete for the title of the First Heavenly Venerable!

"I was just... lucky..."

Xia Fa smiled weakly and replied, then took out a handful of iced strawberry wine and royal jelly from his pouch and gulped them down as if they were free.

Although this has temporarily delayed the complete destruction of the Ritual Array, Julius has already launched another attack, and it's impossible to know what will happen next.

Therefore, Xia Fa chose to restore his strength immediately at all costs.

Then... I immediately finished understanding the "primordial stomach"!

But at that moment, he suddenly noticed that the faces of the children of the gods surrounding him had changed, becoming filled with fear or worry, and their eyes were all looking up at the sky.

"What's going on..."

Xiafa murmured to himself and looked up as well.

Immediately, his face turned worried, but his heart was filled with uncontrollable joy.

Yes, the worry was feigned, but the surprise was real.

Just outside the city where gold pounds converge, in the vast starry sky of the Star Spirits, in the vividly painted universe, an extremely huge spatial rift was forcibly cleaved out.

Within the spatial rift, a heavy, golden axe seemed to be retracted by some entity. Then, the solemn sound of hooves rang out, and a golden cleaner wielding the axe slowly rode out from within.

It is... Gastis the Great Axe!

As soon as Gastis the Giant Axe appeared, not only the children of the true gods, but even the nine true gods, including the Silver Universe, couldn't help but turn their attention to him.

Moreover, besides the Paradox Joker, the faces of the False Rules and the Silver Universe also showed signs of worry.

The reason is simple: this golden cleaner, carrying an extremely heavy long-handled giant axe, seemed to have just come from a battle in some ancient tomb or ancient ghost realm. His aura was not suppressed or concealed at all, and he even had black monster blood on his body.

And the oppressive aura it exuded... was comparable to [a brief reality]!

You should know that among the nine great gods, excluding [Absolute Defense] and [Paradox Joker], [Temporary Reality] ranks third!

The situation, which had been barely maintained and even held a sliver of hope for victory, was shattered by the arrival of the golden cleanser wielding a giant axe…

"Gastros, you've finally arrived."

Julius the Great Axe suddenly stopped his attack on the city of gold and turned his horse around to look at Gastis the Great Axe.

Gastis the Great Axe said, as if somewhat helplessly:
