I write obituaries for the gods

Lin Chen pulled out his axe and chopped again, once, twice, forcing Euclid to retreat repeatedly.

As he raised his axe once more, a silver crack burst open—

"boom!"

The rift tore the axe in Lin Chen's hand to pieces. Lin Chen then threw a punch. Euclid had already retreated into the triangular gate and disappeared.

The next second, Lin Chen felt a sharp pain in his legs and fell to his knees—Euclid kicked him in the back of the knee from behind.

The demigod flashed continuously within the triangular gate, bombarding Lin Chen with his fists. Lin Chen tried his best to parry, but was no match for the demigod's speed.

"boom!"

Another punch sent Lin Chen flying, rolling several times on the ground.

He stood up, projected a revolver shotgun, and fired at Euclid—

"boom!"

Euclid disappeared, then teleported back to Lin Chen and raised his fist at him once more.

Just then, a clear whale call rang out—

"Sizzle!"

Euclid suddenly turned to the side, and a dark blue beam pierced through his leg, causing him to fall to his knees.

Lin Chen looked up and saw a transport plane circling down, with Li Zhanyi lying on the edge of the hatch, holding a sniper rifle!

She fired the whale-sounding blast!

"Lin Chen!" Li Zhanyi shouted.

Lin Chen knew it was time.

He flung open the shotgun magazine, shoved in the 23mm whale-sound round, and aimed it at Euclid's heart as he staggered!

Time seemed to slow down suddenly, and in a daze, Professor Jürgen's words echoed in my ears:

"Remember, demigods are also made of flesh and blood, even Alpha-level demigods."

"Aim for his heart; if it hits, he'll either die or be seriously injured."

What was his mindset at that time when he crafted this bullet for Lin Chen that could kill a god?

"......"

When Euclid saw Lin Chen aiming the gun at him, he was slightly taken aback.

Then, a slight smile appeared on his lips, a smile of relief.

"Om——"

A phantom whale roar resounded as a 23mm whale roar bullet struck the demigod's heart!

"Cough... Ah..."

Euclid's deep blue eyes narrowed slightly, and the next second, countless thin silver lines burst open—

"boom!!"

Lin Chen was thrown to the ground, and a sharp pain shot through his abdomen: a spatial rift had struck his abdomen, almost disemboweling him.

Almost simultaneously, a dark shadow swept over Lin Chen's head—the transport plane was crashing, its wing struck by the spatial tearing caused by Euclid's explosion!

"It's sticking to my clothes!"

Lin Chen shouted, and the transport plane crashed head-on towards him—

"boom!!!"

Amidst the deafening explosion, Lin Chen felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and the world gradually turned into chaos.

......

Chapter 149 Improvisation (First and Second Updates)

dizziness.

My temples were throbbing, like a needle piercing my eardrums and stirring my brain.

The flickering flames gradually pieced together the dilapidated scene on the bridge.

The wreckage of the transport plane was right in front of them. Jiang Zhengge and Lucy were lying on the ground not far away. The pilot in the cockpit had half his body through the windshield, his chest pierced by a steel bar.

My head hurts so much...

Lin Chen slapped his head hard, frantically pulled out a syringe, and without caring what was inside, plunged it into his neck.

"Zizi..."

His vision quickly cleared, and the scene after the plane crash came into complete view.

Then he saw Li Zhanyi.

"Stained clothes...!"

Li Zhanyi was leaning against the wreckage of the transport plane. She seemed to be unharmed. Her energy vest was torn, but there were no signs of severe bleeding on her body.

Lin Chen struggled to his feet, walked to Zhan Yi's side, and checked on her condition.

Still breathing, no problem. The Bureau of Investigation's equipment is really durable...

Lin Chen injected Li Zhanyi with a combat sustain agent. He was just about to check on Jiang Zhengge and Lucy when he heard a roaring sound overhead:

"Buzzing..."

Lin Chen looked up and saw that the white light on the surface of the huge ring had disappeared. All the light had converged to the center of the ring, outlining a dark blue ball of lightning in the void.

Looking at Lightning's volatile expression, even though Lin Chen knew nothing, he could see one thing clearly:

The W weapon is about to be launched.

"Hehe...hahaha..."

Lin Chen lowered his head and looked at the edge of the bridge: Euclid was kneeling there, with the magnificent circular structure behind him.

There was a hole in his chest, from which pale blue bubbles emerged and floated in mid-air.

Despite being an Alpha-level being, the subspace did not seem to grant him a powerful physical body; his extraordinary abilities were almost entirely concentrated in the power to tear apart space.

He was on the verge of death after being hit by two whale-sound grenades.

Euclid is dying.

Or rather...

Jürgen Eisenberg is going to die.

"clang..."

The tattered helmet lay on the ground. Jürgen looked up, his pale face covered with dark blue lines.

Looking at Lin Chen, he gave a polite smile.

“You’ve won,” he murmured. “You’re about to kill an Alpha-level demigod. Although the cost of this war is brutal, the eyes of the entire Rain City will be on you, won’t they?”

Lin Chen slowly walked up to Jürgen and looked down at him.

"How do we stop the W weapon?" Lin Chen asked softly.

"Can you extinguish a ignited sun?" Jürgen shook his head. "You destroyed the mainframe in the real world, and now it's unrestrained... It can launch in whichever direction it wants, entirely based on probability. Doesn't that sound exciting?"

“Liti is still in Rain City,” Lin Chen said softly. “What if the W weapon hits the Westward District?”

Upon hearing this, Jürgen paused slightly, then slowly lowered his head.

“You could have turned around and left,” he said softly. “Operation Achilles’ Heel. I planned to seriously injure you and send you to the hospital so that once my plan began, you would be transferred out of the city, as would Litty.”

"You will survive this ordeal safely and stay away from this hurricane forever, with Litty."

"But I still underestimated the Bureau of Investigation's madness... They'd rather die than surrender, they're a bunch of lunatics..."

“You’re the one who’s crazy. You set the whole city on fire,” Lin Chen said softly. “What if Litty had died in today’s disaster?”

“She’s more powerful than you think,” Jürgen looked up. “You don’t understand her potential. The only thing that could kill her is insomnia.”

"Then you still put her in danger!" Lin Chen said sternly.

"I don't deny it."

Jürgen shook his head, raising one hand to look at the scars the silver light had left on it.

“I’ve said it before, I’m a selfish man,” he said softly. “The tearing experiment through the warp... to the depths no one has ever set foot in... to explore the true nature of the warp... and what I did wasn’t all for Lydie.”

"In the end... I still want to satisfy myself."

He suddenly broke into a maniacal smile again and reached out his hand towards Lin Chen:

“I’ll give you a choice—kill me, and the W weapon will never receive the final launch command. In a little while, its platform will exceed its tolerance threshold, and the confined energy will self-destruct.”

"Then, you will absorb my power, tear through space, and leave this place. The cost will be relatively small: in this W weapon explosion at such a depth, about half of Rain City will be destroyed... but it will not affect Westview District."

“That way, you’ve become a hero, and I’ve gotten my revenge on those who drove me to this point,” Jürgen smiled at Lin Chen. “How about it?”

"..."

Facing Jürgen's smiling face, Lin Chen's hand trembled slightly.

He understood that he was now faced with a choice between two options.

Alternatively, the W weapon can be successfully activated and fired in any direction, potentially destroying the entire Rain City.

Either kill Jurgen, detonate the W weapon, and accept the fact that half of the rain has been destroyed.

In the subspace, a crazy game of Russian roulette was placed in front of Lin Chen.

"..."

"Professor, does it have to be this way?" Lin Chen asked softly.

He looked at the disheveled professor before him, wanting to make one last attempt to awaken his conscience.

Looking at Lin Chen, Jürgen paused for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He sighed softly, spread his hands, and murmured:

"Indeed, I still prefer improvisation."

"Guess what? I'll do it myself—"

Jürgen suddenly drew his pistol from his waist and raised it—

They aimed at Li Zhanyi behind Lin Chen!

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely long, yet also seemed to fly by in an instant.

It happened so fast that Lin Chen couldn't even react before he drew his gun, aimed at Jurgen, and pulled the trigger—

"boom!"

Shotgun shells blasted at Jürgen's mangled body, and he spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.

The pistol fell to the ground, bounced weakly twice, and came to rest at Lin Chen's feet.

Jürgen looked at Lin Chen and gave him a calm, gentle smile.

It was as if that gentle and refined professor had never gone away; he had simply had a nightmare, and the nightmare was over.

“Remember, you are the hero who killed Euclid,” a pale blue bubble rose from Jürgen’s chest, “Protect Litty.”

Then, with a graceful, almost coffin-like motion, he fell from the edge of the bridge into the abyss below.

Almost simultaneously, the W weapon was fired—

"boom!!!!"

A fierce blue beam of light chased after Jürgen, shooting towards the abyss of the warp!

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment when he saw the spot where Jürgen had disappeared.

W weapon...did not detonate?

Even without the main unit's navigation, why did it launch precisely downwards?

Was it a coincidence?

Something bumped against Lin Chen's shoes. He looked down and saw Jürgen's pistol resting near his feet.
