Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

Combining his science and magic,

He prepared what could be described as a grand gift.

"Elder Yi!" Huo Yuhao shouted, "Open the Gate of the Dead!"

"Use that?" Electrox immediately understood, and with a wave of his hand, he opened several large doors, from which countless undead armies swarmed out.

"Is this another method from another world?" The Sea God's divine sense showed slight disdain. "What use are there to have more of these undead who are at most Title Douluo?"

"Brother Tianmeng, Elder Yi, hold him back!" Huo Yuhao commanded.

"learn."

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's divine sense surged, and the flood-like impact swept the blue-gold divine sense to the side of the Golden Tree, where it merged with the previous divine sense.

"This kind of move can't hurt me at all." The Sea God waved his hand to deflect Tianmeng's attack. This kind of attack could only make him take a few steps back at most, and had no effect on his ever-renewing divine sense.

Golden branches danced, blocking the remaining attacks for him; the two divine senses coordinated perfectly.

The impact on the divine sense lasted for a while before gradually subsiding.

"Hmph, finally exhausted?" The Sea God withdrew his divine sense from the branches and then saw Tianmeng and Ilex rushing straight towards him.

Electrolux, using the combined energy of the Light Array and Tianmeng, cast a binding spell, with Tianmeng and herself each using their bodies to hold back the Sea God's consciousness and the Golden Tree.

"What are you doing?! What's the use of this confinement? You'll still die once the confinement is lifted!" The Sea God was shocked and suspicious. What kind of tricks were these guys going to use this time?

"You damned god, don't underestimate Yuhao!" Tianmeng struggled to suppress the sea god's divine sense and cursed angrily.

"what?!"

The Sea God then glanced at Huo Yuhao, who was the ant he thought posed no immediate threat, and was now using some unknown technique.

The undead army surged forward to the roots of the golden tree, clinging to it in layers.

"Wait, inside these undead creatures!" The Sea God's divine sense then realized that each of these countless undead creatures contained something he was somewhat familiar with: a bomb.

However, unlike the Buddha's Wrath Lotus he had used before, this one contained no ordinary gunpowder.

"Of course it's not ordinary gunpowder, it's a magical nitrate that I carefully developed, capable of blasting you and the tree into the sky together... Explosion magic! Hahahaha!" Huo Yuhao laughed wickedly.

"Brother Tianmeng, Elder Yi, you must hold him down properly."

"Let go! Do you want to perish together?" the Sea God cried out in panic. Although he had only lost two strands of his divine consciousness, the Golden Tree would inevitably be destroyed, and his means of influencing the lower realm would be reduced, which was something he did not want.

"Be honored to be the first to experience my explosive magic."

Holding his musket-shaped staff, Huo Yuhao saw several crimson magic circles appear before him, and he began to chant with a loud laugh…

My name is Huo Yuhao. I have mastered the supreme arts of Soul Master, Magic, and Science, making me the strongest Soul Master, Magician, and Scientist on the Douluo Continent.

【O sinful souls from the realm of gods!】

Listen to my judgment!

The chaotic vortex condenses here.

The karmic fire of the Crimson Lotus boils at my fingertips!

Darker than twilight

[Redder than fresh blood]

[Crossing the Rift of Time and Space]

[Descending at the end]

In my name,

[Return all things to nothingness,]

[Tearing the sky apart into dust!]

This is the ultimate art of destruction.

My existence has meaning in this one moment!

[Explode!]

As Huo Yuhao finished his final incantation, a massive mushroom cloud rose from the center of Seagod Island, where the Golden Tree was located.

The terrifying roar of the explosion engulfed everything on the island.

Huo Yuhao and the others were not at the center of the explosion. Protected by Ice Emperor's ice barrier, they did not suffer much impact.

"Wait, Yuhao, what about those two? Weren't they also at the epicenter of the explosion?" Mu En asked worriedly. The terrifying explosion had terrified him. Could those two really still be alive?

"They're alright, Elder Mu."

Huo Yuhao reached out, and a summoning circle appeared.

Electrolux and Tianmeng stepped out of the summoning circle.

"Hehehe, that was really fun!" Tianmeng spread her moth wings, clearly very happy. "But Yuhao, your chant lyrics are so cringeworthy..."

“Even I’m getting excited,” Electrox said, stroking his beard and shaking his head.

This is Huo Yuhao's contract magic with his contracted beast, and it is also a summoning magic with instantaneous spatial teleportation.

Beast Taming Contracts originated from Summoning Magic, and Huo Yuhao and his team had already incorporated instantaneous spatial teleportation into them when developing Beast Taming Contracts.

"So, those two divine senses have been destroyed?" Ice Emperor asked.

"It's not that easy. Don't forget they have the characteristic of endless regeneration. But I've already thought of a general way to deal with it." Huo Yuhao stared thoughtfully at the center of Seagod Island.

Chapter 67 Operation to Annihilate Gods

As the smoke from the explosion gradually dissipated, only the terrifyingly high temperature remained as a reminder of what had just happened.

"I remember Yuhao's Explosion Magic should be able to be cast instantly, so why does he need to chant such a long incantation?" Hyotei asked again.

Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng both looked at her with shocked expressions.

"W-what's wrong? Did I say something strange?" Hyotei couldn't help but doubt himself under their gazes.

“Bingbing, why don’t you understand…” Tianmeng suddenly looked at her beautiful moth wings with a melancholy expression, “Being handsome is a lifelong thing.”

"?"

"Handsome is beautiful, beautiful is strong. Yuhao's chanting may be a bit cheesy, but it's also incredibly cool. That's proof of strength, just like me. Look at my wings, how..."

Tianmeng began to boast endlessly, and he was very proud of the fact that he had evolved wings.

It must be said that these wings are indeed beautiful. Fortunately, everyone present has strong mental strength. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably lose themselves after just one glance.

"..."

Hyotei rolled their eyes and ignored him.

"Hyotei, aside from the narcissistic part, what Tenmeng said is quite right. Generally speaking, the stronger something is, the closer it is to perfection, and perfection is completeness, which is beauty. Powerful things are full of beauty."

The strongest mental strength is like this, the strongest physical body is like this, and the strongest explosion is like this—beautiful and powerful.

"And my incantation is also essential; a cool incantation is an indispensable ritual for magic," Huo Yuhao explained earnestly.

"The lyrics must be impressive." Old Yi nodded in agreement.

"This..." Hyotei hesitated after hearing what these people were saying. Could chanting really increase power? Should he design a set of incantations for his ice magic in the future?

In reality, Huo Yuhao and the others simply thought he was handsome.

"Alright, enough fooling around. Let's deal with those two divine senses first." Huo Yuhao looked at the dissipating smoke, behind which two shattered divine senses emerged.

The blue-gold light on their bodies dimmed, and their souls were broken and teetering on the brink of collapse, indicating that they had suffered serious injuries.

The ancient golden tree, which had been relied upon and utilized, was almost completely destroyed in the explosion. Only a few branches and leaves remained, and a large hole in the trunk, which was nearly broken, meant that it could no longer move.

Even so, those two divine senses were still recovering little by little, although much slower than before.

"What about Yuhao? They can recover. Are they really immortal?" Tianmeng looked at the two sea god consciousnesses with a solemn expression.

“Immortality is impossible. There must be something that allows them to keep regenerating. It must be those points of light that converge on them… I originally thought they relied on the Golden Tree to obtain energy, but now it seems that’s not entirely true. The Golden Tree is only responsible for accelerating their energy absorption, and that energy comes from another place,” Huo Yuhao analyzed.

"Another place?"

"Well, based on the battles so far, I've made some guesses." Huo Yuhao lightly tapped his brow with his finger. He had previously discussed the possibility of "gods" with Elder Yi, but although Elder Yi was at the level of a god, he didn't know much about the Douluo God, so most of his guesses were just speculations.

"Firstly, gods cannot descend to the mortal realm in person. These two divine consciousnesses, which are suspected to be those of the sea god, one is attached to Wang Dong and the other to the golden tree. They exist by attaching their split divine consciousnesses to other living beings."

Secondly, divine consciousness only exists in the place of their faith or in the believer. He tricked us into coming to Seagod Island before taking action, so it's speculated that they can only exist in places like Seagod Island and the Haotian Sect, which have a strong belief in the Seagod. Furthermore, only living beings related to the Seagod faith, such as Wang Dong and the Golden Tree, can serve as vessels for their 'descendance'.

Thirdly, severing faith can weaken or even eliminate the influence of gods. Ancient texts record that some gods attained godhood through the faith of mortals. Therefore, many places in the Douluo Continent retain sites of divine worship. While the specific methods are not recorded, there are fragmentary accounts, roughly stating that "gods need faith, faith is the foundation of godhood, gods govern humanity through faith, and people repay gods with faith."

"Then how do we eliminate his faith?" Tianmeng Bing'e asked anxiously. The sea god's consciousness was slowly recovering, and he wished he could immediately go up and give him a few more shocks with his consciousness.

Moreover, is it really possible to eliminate faith? Even he knows that eliminating faith is not something that can be done in a short time.

"I'm counting on you."

"Rely on me?" Tianmeng pointed at herself, scratching her head to indicate that she didn't understand.

"Haha, we still need Elder Mu." Huo Yuhao clapped his hands, seemingly having made up his mind. "Elder Mu, use the broadcast to inform the entire Shrek City to say what I said."

Moon nodded and picked up the megaphone that connected to the city's public address system.

"It's impossible for everyone to hear the broadcast. Brother Tianmeng, can you use your divine sense to transmit the information throughout the entire city?"

"The area of ​​Shrek City? A piece of cake."

“Alright, Elder Mu, now say that ‘the Sea God is an evil god, Shrek City will no longer allow the worship of the Sea God, the Sea God Island and the Sea God Pavilion will be renamed Douluo Island and Douluo Pavilion, and Shrek City will henceforth be dominated by humans, and the so-called gods are nothing more than higher-level Douluo.’”

Although Mu En was surprised, he followed Huo Yuhao's words one by one.

“This won’t do, Yuhao. Simply announcing it like this won’t change anyone’s beliefs,” said Electrox. The Necromancer Saint God, as expected of his extensive knowledge, immediately pointed out the shortcomings of Huo Yuhao’s approach.

“That’s right, it’s difficult to change the beliefs of so many people in a short period of time just by talking about it.” Huo Yuhao certainly knew this.

"Since you know that, then you're going to... wait, what?" Electrox was about to ask another question when he saw the Sky Dream Ice Moth and seemed to realize something. "Could it be that you're going to..."

“That’s right.” Huo Yuhao said with a wicked smile, “Why don’t we just have Brother Tianmeng give everyone in the city a mental suggestion? A mental suggestion at the level of divine consciousness, to imprint the idea that ‘the Sea God is an evil god, reject the belief in the Sea God’ on everyone’s mind.”

"This is exhausting!" Tianmeng Ice Moth sent millions of copies of the anti-Sea God message to the entire Shrek City.

The faith in Shrek City had already been subtly weakened to a certain extent by Huo Yuhao's transformation.

With the orders given by Moon, the spiritual leader, the spiritual suggestion went very smoothly this time.
