Inner Destroyer

　I'm afraid many people who suddenly gain super hypnotic powers will become like this.

　"And then the victim he cheated on had his █ castrated?"

　Qi Xing remembered the myth of Osiris and tried to ask.

　"That's not the case. Mythological archetypes don't necessarily correspond rigidly. This person isn't even capable of being mutilated."

　The devil grinned and laughed mockingly.

22

　.

　"Two months ago, he became impotent."

　"What's going on on this ship is actually a ritual to resurrect him."

　009: I want to fight! Fighting is fun!

　Two months ago, Professor Vanstra became impotent.

　According to the association's report, he suddenly lost control of his emotions at that time and shot and killed one of his female graduate students on campus before disappearing. It is unknown whether this incident was related to his impotence.

　Qi Xing still couldn't fully comprehend the professor's perverted mindset, but he didn't intend to. Samael had already instilled the relevant mythological knowledge in him, so he could already enter the depths of the "Inner Realm" and beat the professor to a pulp.

　"I'm going in."

　He spoke,

　"You're just following me like this?"

　"Don't worry. I'll be very careful following you."

　Samael took another bite of chocolate and asked with interest,

　"How are you going to get in?"

　"Use the fastest method."

　Qi Xing raised his fist.

　What...what did he want to do?

　For the first time since his appearance, Samael finally felt puzzled. Was this half-immortal planning to shatter the upper deck of the cruise ship with one punch and plunge directly to the lower level?

　However, the spatial relationships within the "Inner Realm" aren't so simple and crude. If breaking through the shallow ground could lead to the deeper layers, who would bother solving puzzles and empathizing with others, deciphering the "Inner Realm"? It's unlikely.

　Qi Xing keenly noticed Samael's confusion and finally smiled this time: "Be creative. Who says that breaking the ground and falling can't be part of the mythological narrative?"

　Now that he understood this "inner world", nothing could stop him anymore.

　After saying that, Qi Xing raised his hand, grabbed an empty coffin next to him with his left hand, and smashed the ground with his right fist.

　"Thunder Fist, 10% strength."

　boom! !

　With just one punch, the entire ground collapsed under Qi Xing's hands.

　This is just the beginning.

　Immediately following, ghostly figures appeared. Explosions and shockwaves tore through the ground, stirring the air around them like crazy, emitting a piercing scream. Qi Xing opened the coffin, sat inside, and closed the lid. In an instant, the world spun, twisting and distorting. The cruise ship lobby on the shallow floor had vanished.

　Only Qi Xing and the coffin fell down, down, down... breaking into the vortex of chaos and screams, and entering a deeper mystery.

　In the chaos, deep in the darkness, he sat in the coffin and could feel the rules of the world starting to work, like levers and gears constantly turning and lifting the coffin higher and higher, away from the vortex.

　Qi Xing kicked open the lid and stood up from the coffin.

　He saw that his surroundings were now empty. This was a demonic palace deeper than the physical world. The air was filled with an incomparable fishy odor, and the walls and floor were covered in horrifying flesh and blood. Furthermore, these walls and floor were even slightly wriggling. This "inner world" might actually be located within a living organism.

　Not far away, he saw Sister Elaine and Magical Girl Artemina battling a gigantic monster. The two were utterly defeated, desperately trying to escape, like a monster hunter encountering a new dragon, being chased and tumbled upon by the red, black, and hardened "dragon." Furthermore, Professor Vanstra, dressed as Osiris, stood atop the giant monster, gesticulating and shouting orders.

　Fortunately, every time the giant monster was about to spit out venom, Elaine could predict it in advance and command the magical girls to dodge immediately; fortunately, every time the dragon spewed lightning, Artemina could summon the moonlight shield in time to defend for the two of them; fortunately, they all had their own different special skills - so so far, although the two of them were in a mess, they had not really suffered much.

　This kind of luck is like the coin they flipped during the battle, and all the coin landed heads. Perhaps God really did give them luck. But there is a bigger reason besides this:

　Two beautiful girls working together is definitely better than a man rubbing his inner █ in vain. This is a matter of course.

　Then again, why can this thing spray lightning?

　How did the magical girl Artemina end up in this "inner world"?

　"Electromagnetic Power, Evil-Slaying Blade."

　Seeing that the two girls had been beaten to a panic, Qi Xing raised his hand, and the true energy was refined into lightning and condensed in his palm; with a swing of his arm, the lightning turned into a sword of light and slashed out - going straight for the target!

　To save someone, you must never lose the initiative. The only way to save someone is to strike hard at the enemy's vital points, forcing them to retreat and save themselves.

　Even before the lightning blade arrived, the professor, standing on top of the mountain, could already feel its sharp edge, nearly cleaving the giant snake beneath his crotch in two. This immediately gave him a chilling chill. The murderous aura that struck directly at his vitals made every hair on his body stand on end in fear!

　However, incredibly, just as the professor's hair stood on end, countless vines and branches suddenly sprouted from the deep ground, instantly creating a vast forest of giant trees, which blocked Qi Xing's lightning blade. Unfortunately, the lightning shattered everything in its path. Using a created forest of giant trees to block its sharp edge was ineffective!

　In a clash of forces, the black-red snake, two or three stories tall and thicker than a train, was actually repelled by the overwhelming force. It was like a large bell being struck violently, trembling continuously.

　"Huh? Pretty hard."

　Although Qi Xing didn't use his full strength, the sudden attack of the Thunder Blade clearly hit the target, but it didn't chop off the head, which surprised him a little. This feeling was more like chopping into a black gold material that was harder than steel than cutting meat.

23

　Up. It failed to cut through, only the shockwave of thunder was effective.

　interesting.

　Unable to keep up with the sudden change in the situation, the professor was thrown back in shock and horror.

　The magical girl and Elaine reacted quickly and took the opportunity to run behind Qi Xing. Although the battle wasn't over yet, the danger hadn't been eliminated, and it had even just begun, they couldn't help but feel from the bottom of their hearts—Qi Xingwas awake! They were saved! They were saved!

　For both of them, the mere sight of him coming to the rescue was more credible than any other evidence.

　"Mr. Qi, you are too late this time."

　No matter what she thought in her heart, the nun still had to put on a stern face and complain in a businesslike manner.

　"After all, I've never cracked the Inner Realm alone. I've always relied on others to guide me." Qi Xing shrugged. "It was our mistake to investigate separately without knowing about the Inner Realm. Next time, even if we have intelligence, we should assume the enemy is stronger and at least work together as a team."

　In fact, it was the devil who guided him this time and taught him mythological knowledge, but there was no need to tell the nun about this now.

　"Rep!" Magical girl Artemina was the opposite of Elaine. She'd been saved once again by her savior in a critical moment, and her head had been full of pink, single-pointed arrow bubbles since the day before yesterday. Now, she was shaking Qi Xing's hand, almost incoherent with excitement. "Thank you, thank you!"

　"No need. I should be thanking you." Qi Xing shook his head. "The night before last, Sister Elaine told me that the people I saved today would help others tomorrow. I scoffed at that time, thinking that there were no such beautiful things in the world. Now I want to apologize to both of you. I was wrong and I underestimated you. Thank you for saving my assistant today."

　No, that’s not what I meant at that time, at least not in such a direct and rigid way - uh, forget it - Elaine struggled in her heart for two seconds and decided to give up complaining.

　The professor's fist finally stopped vibrating. It was then that he heard the magical girl address Qi Xing as "Master Leipu." In recent years, rumors of this name had spread among nearly every demonic being in the world, sending the professor into a state of panic. "Master Leipu!? Why is Master Leipu here? And why did he arrive in a coffin?!"

　As expected of the master of the "Inner World", it seems he has noticed the key point.

　"Of course I'm here to kill you."

　Qi Xing clasped his hands together, bowed slowly in front of his chest, and said very politely,

　"You wicked thing, why don't you just stay in the cesspool and come out to harm the world? I will reluctantly chop you up and sink you into the sea to feed the fish."

　This man was a good fighter, vicious with his hands and cruel with his mouth. For a moment, Professor Vanstra didn't even know how to respond. And the more he looked at the coffin Qi Xing brought, the more frightened he became.

　Because Qi Xing rushed into the depths of his "inner world" in a coffin; because Qi Xing was the most powerful man in the world, but he was now impotent; because it was said that "Lei Pu Zhenren" had an immortal body after beheading the three corpses, but he couldn't "resurrect" now no matter how hard he tried. In other words -

　"Who do you think is more suitable to be Osiris now?"

　He - he is here to show off to him!

　010: The strange thunder magic is as powerful as a monster, and no matter how hard you try, you can't defeat it

　Although Professor Vanstra had just become impotent and his faith in Taoism collapsed two months ago, and was therefore taking such a risk now, he had been secretly abusing those evil powers and secretly satisfying his evil desires for several years.

　So of course he had heard of it. In recent years, there has been a legend circulating in the underground world.

　It is said that if you abuse your power, collude with evil spirits, and harm and plunder innocent people to satisfy your own dark desires, "Master Leipu" will come after you.

　Actually, this wasn't a big deal. It was common for those in the dark world. There were always exorcists, witch hunters, Taimanin, magical girls, and other self-proclaimed righteous people who came to cause trouble for them.

　But this time is different, this time is different!

　Because everyone says that "Rep" is a man who is more cunning than Taimanin, more cruel than witch hunters, more powerful than magical girls, and does not accept any compromise.

　Those who suddenly gain immense power tend to be arrogant, perhaps thinking, "Hmph, it's just an urban legend. [Leip Zhenren] might not be that powerful." After all, in this world, ranks are determined by examination and assessment, and even masters can occasionally be careless and fall prey to lesser forces—hence, the tendency of evildoers to look down on righteous heroes.

　But Professor Vanstra was in a state of impotence, his mind on the verge of collapse. Expecting him to be arrogant, to look down on his enemies, and then be slapped in the face by Qi Xing... was truly a bit of a coercion.

　Now he saw the famous "Rip Zhenren" rushing in in a coffin, full of murderous intent, and asked him, "Who do you think is more suitable to be Osiris now?" Oh my God! This question almost scared the professor to tears!

　Because for men in myths and legends, the most terrifying things in the world have only been two since ancient times: first, being castrated; second, being raped by a cow. And if you think about it carefully, you will find that these two fears are essentially the same thing, and they still linger in the hearts of men in the modern world.

　This kind of fear is enough to drive people crazy.

　But the professor wasn't a formidable warrior. Even before his impotence, he wasn't skilled in combat. He was a hypnotist. To defeat "Rip Zhenren," he had only one path.

　Hypnotize Qi Xing? That's definitely impossible. The professor and Qi Xing looked at each other and knew

24

　The difference in strength between the two is as big as a toothpick in the Magan River. How can they be hypnotized and woken up at the same time?

　"My jackal, my hound, loyal guardian of my tomb, show yourself!"

　So, with extreme despair and almost crazy courage, the professor stood on the top of the big █ with his arms outstretched, chanting and calling out loudly,

　"I am the Bull, ruler of the underworld! Like Ra, I shall be immortal! You wushabutis, hurry and do my bidding! Defeat my enemies, destroy them! Apophis will not stand in my way! I die to be reborn, like Ra, forever and ever!"

　He chanted and swung his staff, and a cold breath immediately swept across the land of the "Inner World", a dark breath like ice caressing skin.

　In the blink of an eye, a group of monsters appeared in response to the professor's call.

　The most obvious one is a guy covered in black fur, with a man's body and a dog's head on his neck - to be more precise, a jackal's head. But this image is so famous that even people who don't know much about ancient Egyptian mythology have seen it a few times.

　When it comes to Egypt, mummies are the most famous. Anubis was the god responsible for mummification and funeral rites, the patron saint of tombs and the dead. He was also the son of Osiris and his brother's wife, born from adultery. He was also the god who weighed the hearts of the dead to determine the severity of sins in the afterlife. He held the scales that punished the sinful souls, his golden eyes fixed on his prey, staring blankly at Qi Xing.

　Death has been a constant companion of humanity since before the rise of civilization. Across time and culture, gods of death have always existed. A deity with such authority often commands widespread devotion and possesses immense power, making them formidable figures. They are not to be trifled with. Behind them follows a host of new monsters: 365 stone figures adorned with gold and gems. Like the Terracotta Army, each one is lifelike, each slightly different in appearance. However, each stone figure also wields a sickle or spear, remaining silent, ready for battle.

　These are Ushabti figurines, similar in nature to the Terracotta Army: burial objects meant to serve as servants in the afterlife. Ancient Egyptian royal tombs would contain at least 365 Ushabti figurines, ensuring at least one figurine was on duty every day. It's fair to say the ancients had a truly captivating imagination, and people's ideas were largely the same regardless of their location.

　The professor rode his big bike and retreated quickly, creating distance, while ordering the monsters to attack Qi Xing and his men. He himself retreated, but it was unclear what he was planning to do.

　Anyway, Qi Xing definitely didn't intend to let him hide, so he continued to cast the spell and read the long strip.

　"Elaine, Artemina—I'll leave Anubis and the remaining stone statues to you. Just hold on."

　Are we really going to have to deal with a god? Even if it's just a false god created by imagination in the "Inner World"? Despite this, Artemina didn't complain. Instead, she twitched her dog ears with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation, staring at Anubis. After all, she was a canine.

　Elaine frowned: "The remaining stone statues?"

　Qi Xing didn't waste any more words.

　boom!

　He inhaled and exhaled his true Qi, thrusting his body forward, his flesh tearing through the air like a long wave! Fueled by electromagnetic energy, his speed reached an incredible level. He covered hundreds of steps in one go, dashing directly in front of the professor and stepping onto the giant snake's head, leaving his subordinates, gods and monsters, no chance of stopping him!

　In an instant, the professor felt the air around him being forcefully squeezed out by the punch. A massive fist kept growing larger and larger before his eyes—it was about to blow his head off!

　The hundreds of stone warriors that Qi Xing had "passed by" were like being run over by a dump truck at high speed. The encirclement of over 300 stone warriors was crushed in an instant. They were simply invincible!

　Is the power of "Master Leipu's" punch as fierce as that?

　At the critical moment of life and death, the professor was finally forced to show his extraordinary strength as a psychic. His eyes flashed, and his mind was-

　——But Qi Xing’s thunder fist was faster than his thoughts and faster than the narration.

　boom! !

　Without even a shred of evasion, the incredibly fast lightning fist slammed into the professor's head! All the summoning, all the telekinesis, all the "inner world" void creations, were interrupted before he could even raise his hand! Interrupt! Interrupt!

　With just one punch, he shattered the hypnotist uncle's skull!

　011: Osiris's Sky Chicken

　With just one punch, Qi Xing smashed Professor Vanstra's skull and blasted him out of the big head.

　And Qi Xing didn't stop after just one punch.

　"Five Thunder Demon-Slaying Sword."
