I write obituaries for the gods

The surrounding white quickly blurred, followed by complete darkness—

Black flames are boiling over the timeline of history, scorching those branches!

For some reason, Lin Chen was able to understand those scattered timelines: the history belonging to the other members of the fishman squad was first burned by the black flames, and then it spread to Bacht's history.

It's not too late!

Lin Chen rushed towards the darkness and grabbed the last remaining white thread.

He focused his attention on the "weaknesses," letting the "Mirage City" sift through potentially relevant data—

A vast expanse of blue comes into view.

At the beach, Lin Chen turned to look into the distance: Triton and Bacht were standing together, seemingly enjoying some quality time together.

A foundation clerk approached from a distance and whispered in Tritton's ear:

"A ruin located in D-3. The Bureau of Investigation sent us the case, saying that the potent neurotoxin inside can penetrate protective suits..."

“No, I’m not taking this order,” Triton said lazily. “Let’s find a few lower-level demigods to train with.”

After the clerk left, Bacht looked at Tritton with some confusion:

"Father, the ruins of D-3 should be a piece of cake for you, so why didn't you take it?"

“I don’t like bad air,” Triton said contentedly. “Frankly, you should also be aware that our lungs are precious…”

Lungs are precious...

Lin Chen recalled the scene after Bacht was hit by the "whale-sounding bullet".

Because the bullet blasted open the demigod's back, Lin Chen was able to observe how his lungs worked.

So... Bachter is indeed a lower-tier version of Triton, weaker in ability, too weak to directly overpower someone like Triton.

But his physiological mechanisms are the same as Triton's.

Lin Chen had already witnessed Bachter's physical strength; even the Whale Cry Bullet couldn't penetrate it.

Jiang Zhengge had just described to Lin Chen the scene when he fired at Triton: the whale-shaped bullet couldn't even break through his defenses!

Strong body surface structure...

Utilization of energy requires gas exchange...

Does this mean that this characteristic can be used to break through Triton from the inside?

As Lin Chen was pondering, black flames fell from the sky.

He looked up and saw the demigod with black feathers hovering in the sky, black flames falling from her wings and burning history to ashes.

"That's so rude..."

Lin Chen looked at the demigod, and the demigod looked at him. Both knew they could not kill each other.

"Hey, if you keep coming here like this, what if I'm not happy one day and I won't let you leave?"

Lin Chen casually started spouting trash talk—since no one can actually lay a hand on him, he might as well just hurl insults.

"I'll come find you, and then I'll make you vomit up everything you burned!"

"I'm a ghost, you know that? Don't dream tonight, or I'll come into your dreams and scare you to death!"

"Remember this: it's best not to turn off the lights when you sleep at night. If you turn off the lights, I'll stare at you, and if you open your eyes, I'll hide!"

"I will always be watching over you..."

As they were talking, Lin Chen noticed that the demigod trembled slightly.

She seems genuinely scared!

"Zizzizi!"

The black flames burned away all of history, and Lin Chen returned to the center of the white city.

He stood there stunned for a long time before realizing what had just happened.

Seriously... a few trash talk... can actually scare a demigod?

What kind of mental fortitude do you have?

Anyone who can come to the "Mirage City" to burn history must be at least an Alpha-level demigod, right?

Can an Alpha-level demigod tremble with fear at a few words of trash talk?

Lin Chen's lips twitched slightly.

In short, we managed to find the key information before she burned the history books.

Triton's weakness was simpler than Lin Chen had imagined: his exterior was impenetrable, but his weakness lay in his lungs.

But what level of harm would be needed to Triton... remains a mystery for now.

But at least we have a direction now.

Lin Chen took a deep breath and left the Mirage City.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Li Zhanyi sitting by the bed.

"You're awake?" Li Zhanyi looked exhausted. "Did you find anything?"

Lin Chen told Li Zhanyi about his discovery directly, without hiding anything.

After he finished speaking, he noticed a wound on Li Zhanyi's forearm and quickly asked:

"How did you do that?"

"It's nothing," Li Zhanyi quickly pulled up her sleeves, "I fell when the boat was rocking, it wasn't too bad..."

Lin Chen grabbed Li Zhanyi's hand, casually projected saline solution and iodine, and began to treat her.

The girl looked slightly embarrassed. Looking at Lin Chen's disheveled appearance, she muttered softly:

"You're the one who went out on the mission, look at the mess you've made! I only got a minor injury, why are you taking it so seriously?"

"Girls should be protected first," Lin Chen said calmly.

"You're looking down on girls, huh? I'll hit you, I'll hit you!" Li Zhanyi chuckled and waved her fist.

Lin Chen quickly cleaned the wound on Li Zhanyi's hand, then took out a hydrocolloid dressing from his first aid kit and applied it to her hand.

"Let's go back and treat it more carefully. If we're quick, the scar will be gone by tomorrow. The main concern is infection," Lin Chen said seriously.

"Hmph," Li Zhanyi looked at the taciturn military officer with a look of disdain, stood up and waved his hand, "Let's go, the section chief just called us to the canteen."

.......

Upon arriving at the Western restaurant, Lin Chen ran into the children being escorted to the entrance.

Upon seeing Lin Chen, both the worried Huihui and the overjoyed Liti rushed over:

"Brother! Sister!"

"Brother Lin Chen! Sister Zhan Yi!"

The two girls rushed into Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi's arms respectively. Lin Chen gently rubbed Huihui's head and whispered:

"You weren't scared, were you?"

"You scared me. Those were fish-men," Huihui muttered softly. "I've seen the documentary about their attack on the Indian warships, and you actually managed to take down two of them..."

"Four," Lin Chen pointed out.

"So many?" Huihui was stunned. "You killed them all...?"

“Yes,” Lin Chen nodded seriously, “They are bad people and do not deserve sympathy.”

“I know, I know,” Huihui nodded repeatedly. “I already did that… um… what’s it called… demystification. Yes, demigods are bad people, all of them are bad people.”

"Don't be so absolute," Lin Chen patted Huihui's head. "Let's treat today as a special experience. It'll also prove to you that I can indeed protect you, right?"

“I believe you, I believe you,” Huihui nodded repeatedly, “but brother… it’s still so dangerous… they’re only gamma-class, what if you encounter an Alpha-class like the ones mentioned in the newspapers?”

“Then I will defeat him too,” Lin Chen looked directly at Huihui, “Do you believe in your brother?”

Huihui stared at Lin Chen for a while, then nodded firmly:

"Believe!"

"Alright, let's go back to sleep then," Lin Chen chuckled as he stood up. "The ship is under our control, everything is safe, okay?"

"I will protect Huihui!" Liti said excitedly.

"Naliti, you must protect Huihui." Lin Chen gently patted Liti's little head.

After the children left, Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi went into the restaurant together.

This place has been transformed into a tactical headquarters, with all sorts of instruments scattered everywhere.

"The bridge smelled awful, so we moved here," Jiang Zhengge complained. "Xiao Lin and Zhan Yi, are you alright?"

"It's just a warm-up," Lin Chen said.

"It would have healed if it had been any later." Li Zhanyi rubbed the plaster on her wrist.

"Then come over and have something to eat first."

Jiang Zhengge pointed to the large dining table in the center of the room, which was filled with various dishes prepared by the kitchen.

"Headquarters is decoding the intelligence gathered from the subspace today, and it should be sent over soon."

Lin Chen couldn't wait any longer. He had just killed four demigods in a row, and now he was really in the mood for food. He picked up a plate of mushroom cream and black truffle spaghetti and started eating.

Hmm...it doesn't taste good; it's obviously pre-made.

Following the principle of being indiscriminate in hunger, Lin Chen went on a spree of showing off until he was full.

Just then, a white dove wobbled into the restaurant and dropped a letter onto the table.

“It’s here,” Jiang Zhengge said, picking up the letter. “White Dove is fast indeed.”

"This thing can fly all the way here?" Lin Chen was stunned. "It's pouring rain outside."

"You really think this thing is an animal?" Jiang Zhengge laughed. "They are anomalous entities that fly faster than fighter jets. Here, you read it first."

Lin Chen took the letter from Jiang Zhengge and opened the cover.

A headline immediately catches the eye:

"Black Star Protocol, Ver7.21, Beta".

......

Chapter 20 Black Star Protocol (First and Second Updates)

Black Star Protocol.

Upon seeing the title, Lin Chen let out a soft breath.

It seems that we obtained some useful information on this trip.

He pulled out the paper and began to read:

"...The Blue Comet experienced intense friction as it passed through near-Earth orbit, resulting in a near-Earth orbit portion of the space being very close to subspace. The WHALE array absorbed emotional energy at a rate 754% higher than on Earth..."

The Dark Blue Comet...

The moment this word appeared, Lin Chen's first thought was of the shooting star that fell in Rain Town.

According to the foundation, the meteor brought a demigod who was a visitor from outer space.

Could it be the same one?

Lin Chen continued reading:

"...Humanity's oldest fear is the fear of the stars; a vast amount of emotion lies dormant in the warp, never to be stirred..."

"...The purpose of this agreement is to test and simulate Starlink's connection to and retrieval of data from low Earth orbit subspace..."

"Note: The benevolent father will return after the Black Star ascends into space. If possible, avoid holding more than one tearing test in the Whale Nest and complete the implementation as soon as possible."

After reading it, Lin Chen handed the letter to Jiang Zhengge, and everyone passed it around to read.

After one round, everyone's expressions turned unfriendly.

"The chaos that the W weapon can create is already insane enough," Lucy muttered to herself, "Does it have to get even more insane?"

"What exactly does the foundation want to do?" Li Zhanyi pondered.
