I write obituaries for the gods

“We will continue to anchor,” Hua Molan said softly. “You guys find a way to get close to the whale nest and attack W’s core in the real world.”

"Roger that!"

"Chief! Multiple containment breach reports have been received!" someone shouted. "The Armed Division One is rushing back to provide reinforcements!"

"We'll hold out to the death," Hua Molan exhaled. "What's the situation in the city?"

"The 'cronyism' has strengthened, and our front lines are constantly retreating!"

On the streets of Iron Corner, fleshy, gnarled flowers and plants grew between the concrete walls, both alluring and eerie.

They swept over the defenses like waves, tearing apart the dimensional anchors one by one.

On the street, Marcus was leading a small squad in a steadfast defense, his rifle fire relentlessly blasting at the strange entities that had sprung up out of nowhere, but he was gradually losing his strength.

He looked up at the huge shadow on the coastline: the multi-eyed sirens were constantly approaching the shore, and more and more aquatic creatures were crawling ashore, eroding everything in their path.

"Weapon W is massively eroding the real world!" Marcus shouted. "We're about to collapse!"

“Send a notification to the Foundation and ask them for assistance,” Hua Molan said decisively. “Whether they share the credit or not is secondary. The current large-scale erosion is mainly concentrated in the Iron Corner area, and we must contain the threat there.”

"Sent!"

"..."

"Damn it, those traitorous cowards from the foundation aren't trying to steal the credit anymore!"

Jiang Zhengge shot the seatbelt that had turned into a venomous snake, then turned to look at Lin Chen:

"Kid, do you understand what we're going to do next?"

Lin Chen nodded, his expression calm.

He certainly knew what to do next.

Destroying the W weapon's core in reality means killing Euclid.

The good news is that Euclid can't fight at full power on the platform of the Whale Nest, otherwise he would damage his W weapon.

The bad news is that, even so, Lin Chen doesn't think he'll be a match for Euclid.

He turned to look at Li Zhanyi and said softly:

"Zhanyi, do you remember what we talked about before?"

“Yes,” Li Zhanyi nodded, “As long as I snipe Euclid from a distance, I have a chance to evade his senses and hit his mask.”

“I will draw his attention and create space for you,” Lin Chen nodded. “Section Chief Jiang, as long as Zhan Yi hits Euclid, I will hold him off. At that moment, we will immediately have our fighter jets attack the core of the W weapon.”

“You don’t have time to evacuate,” Jiang Zhengge shook his head. “Let me go.”

“It can only be me,” Lin Chen said softly. “Only I have the potential to hold him back.”

He felt the faint white light of the "Mirage City": the tombs of the three demigods seemed to be inside the cabin, at his feet.

He understood that this was the mission history had given him.

He cannot back down at this time.

"..."

Lin Chen raised his head and looked at Li Zhanyi. He saw the girl's sparkling eyes.

He knew that Li Zhanyi was trying to predict his own future.

He knew that Li Zhanyi had failed again, just like before.

She was afraid of that uncertain future, and all Lin Chen could do was give her certainty.

"...!"

Lin Chen grabbed Li Zhanyi's hand and calmly looked into the girl's sparkling eyes.

“I will come back,” he said. “Trust me.”

Li Zhanyi's lips trembled slightly. She pursed her lips and forced a smile:

"it is good!"

Lin Chen gently rubbed Li Zhanyi's head, then turned around and walked towards the cargo door of the transport plane.

"Buzzing..."

As the cabin door slowly opened, torrential rain rushed into the cabin like a flood: the explosion of the thermobaric bomb in the clouds caused an unprecedented downpour, and the sky looked like an ocean with countless gaps cut into it, with hazy light and shadow barely outlining the scene below in the rain.

Lin Chen saw a huge vortex, with intense white light flowing over it, constantly expanding it and pushing it deeper into the depths.

That thing is breaking down the barrier between reality and the subspace.

"Use this." Black Sword's voice came, and Lin Chen turned his head to find that he was holding a wingsuit.

Lin Chen only glanced at it, and with the sound of shattering glass, the wingsuit was projected onto his body.

“As expected of the ghost of history,” Black Sword chuckled. “You will make those demigods tremble.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen paused for a moment, then turned and smiled faintly:

"It really was you guys. After this is over, I will hold you accountable."

After staring at Lin Chen for a while, Black Sword nodded:

"The Secret Service is ready to welcome you at any time."

Lin Chen slowly walked to the edge of the cabin. Just before jumping, he turned around and waved to Li Zhanyi:

"Cook a bowl of noodles and wait for me."

With that, Lin Chen suddenly kicked off and plunged into the torrential rain—

"call----"

Lin Chen had never done wingsuit flying before, but he roughly knew how to do it, since he had seen it in games.

He darted through the rain like a flying squirrel, hurtling towards the whale nest platform below.

"Boom!"

Thunder rumbled in the downpour, and in the distance, the shadow of a sea monster loomed menacingly.

It appears to be approaching the whale nest!

"..."

The cold rain lashed against Lin Chen's face, and through his goggles, he saw the Whale Nest platform getting closer and closer.

At the same time, a phantom ringing sound rang in his ears: the erosion of the subspace was intensifying, and Lin Chen could clearly feel the change in depth.

He recalled that small laboratory, where he and Professor Jürgen sat at the experimental table. The professor excitedly explained the basic principles of subspace to him, and the radiant glow washed away the wrinkles on the professor's head. He was as excited as a child.

In the blink of an eye, that radiant face transformed into a silver mask in the rain: Euclid, suspended in mid-air, turned around to face Lin Chen, who was hurtling towards him—

He raised the superalloy axe towards his former mentor!

"Om——"

Just as Lin Chen's axe was about to strike Euclidean, a triangular door opened, and Lin Chen's eyes were transformed into the Whale Nest Platform—

"clang!"

Just before he was about to fall, he swung his axe into the wall, leaving a long axe mark over a hundred meters long, which finally slowed his speed and allowed him to land safely.

As soon as Lin Chen looked up, he saw Euclid slowly descending.

“Just because I didn’t kill you doesn’t mean my mercy is limitless,” Euclid’s voice was muffled by the metal mask, making it sound somewhat unreal. “You are testing my patience.”

“You’ve always been very patient, Jürgen,” Lin Chen said, swinging his axe in the downpour, “Why don’t you tell me properly?”

The next second, a dark blue light burst forth from Lin Chen's eyes.

He suddenly waved his hand, and the mechanical structure of the Whale Nest platform exploded with a roar, sending steel bars hurtling towards the core of the W weapon.

Euclid turned around, waved his hands, and the silver cracks severed all the steel bars in half.

The wind howled, and the demigod turned his head to see Lin Chen charging forward, stepping on steel bars, his superalloy axe raised high—

"Sizzle!"

Lin Chen swung his axe at Euclid's head, but the demigod raised his arm to block it. The axe blade got stuck in Euclid's gauntlet, and the axe surface burst out with a ghostly blue light.

"Zizzizi!"

Seeing that the surprise attack had failed, Lin Chen kicked Euclid and jumped down from mid-air, landing on the ground.

Almost simultaneously, streaks of silver light tore through space following his descent, finally exploding directly in front of him—

"boom!!!"

Lin Chen flew backward a distance, holding Captain England's shield in his arm. The surface of the shield had been torn open by a spacetime rift.

Lin Chen flung his hand away and threw the shield, which shattered into glass shards upon hitting the ground.

Looking down at the forest below, Euclid stretched out his hand, his fingertips dancing with silver light.

Lin Chen immediately projected "Qingtian" and in an instant, he saw black lines appear in front of him.

He leaped backward, the silver thread tearing through space, its sharp edges leaving bloody gashes on Lin Chen's body.

Lin Chen ran at high speed through the complex structure of the Whale Nest platform. His muscles seemed to be burning, and his heart was roaring like a car engine, sending powerful kinetic energy into his body.

He kept looking for an opportunity to shoot Euclid, but not a single bullet hit the demigod.

Lin Chen understood that if this weren't the whale's nest, and not directly beneath the W weapon, Euclid could kill him in an instant.

He kept positioning himself around the W weapon to prevent Euclid from going all out.

Euclid could not kill him easily; he could only restrain Euclid.

But for Lin Chen, this restraint was enough.

"Om——"

Four thousand meters above the ground, Li Zhanyi lay on the edge of the rear cabin of the transport plane. Two seat belts pulled from the chairs firmly bound the girl's slender body, preventing her from being swept away by a gust of wind.

The QBU-202 was currently positioned at the edge of the hatch, and Li Zhanyi was pressed close to the sniper scope, observing the Whale Nest platform below.

Euclid kept following Lin Chen's movements, clearly demonstrating a strong awareness of counter-sniping.

Li Zhanyi could predict his trajectory, but he was always looking for an angle.

Sniping a target at a distance of 4000 meters involves too many variables: torrential rain, wind speed, bullet velocity, and the swaying of the transport plane. Not to mention that Li Zhanyi was facing a moving target with irregular movements—even for a stationary target, for an ordinary sniper, this distance is entirely up to fate.

But Li Zhanyi was different from all other snipers.

She can predict the trajectory of bullets.

She can predict the direction in which a target will move.

All she needed was the perfect angle and the perfect timing.

"ha..."

Li Zhanyi took a deep breath and calmed her heartbeat.

She could never predict what Lin Chen would do next, but for some reason, she now trusted him completely.

This trust felt incredible to her, but she just felt that the boy could do anything.

After all, he is a mystery.

"Oh!"

Lin Chen fired at Euclid, but the demigod simply waved his hand, and the triangular gate once again teleported the bullet away.

He raised his gun to fire again, but then Euclid roared:

"enough!"

The next second, a flash of silver light appeared, and several stray bullets struck Lin Chen's calves.

Lin Chen cried out in pain and knelt on one knee. When he looked up, Euclid was already standing in front of him.

He raised his gun to fire, but Euclid grabbed the barrel with one hand.

"...!"

Euclid yanked hard, and the revolver shotgun flew out of his hand and landed on the ground.

The demigod stared at Lin Chen lying on the ground, as if he had made up his mind, and finally reached out his hand towards Lin Chen, silver light dancing on his arm.
