I write obituaries for the gods

She looked down at the earth: countless stars hung in the sky, those stars had no spirit, they just hung there coldly, without indicating the past or the future.

Stars, Xileina recalled the first star in her memory.

It was a distant afternoon, and the swaying sunlight filtering through the colorful tent illuminated the tarot cards on the wooden table.

Encouraged by her mother, young Xileina turned over her first tarot card.

The star, the upright star.

She remembered being picked up by her mother and having her forehead kissed:

"Star in the right position, Xileina, you will become our pride and our hope."

"Mother."

tide Lena reached out and gently touched the starry sky outside the porthole.

“I’ve become a star,” she whispered.

"..."

"Black Morning Star upload complete! Launch ready at any time!"

"As the virus upload is complete," Black Widow said anxiously in the voice message.

Triton looked up at Jiang Zhengge on the center console.

“It’s your turn to decide,” he said. “The Black Star has already been suspended in the sky, and you cannot change that fact.”

"As long as you launch a rocket and kill the Nexus AI, Xilena can maintain her will and move forward on the path she chooses after becoming the core."

“Or perhaps, you don’t actually trust her,” he spread his arms, “Ah… my foolish sister, I don’t have faith in you, and I don’t understand why she does…”

“Come on, choose,” Triton stretched out his hand. “Stop playing the victim and let me see if you’re a man! If you deserve to be called a man!”

Jiang Zhengge's fingertips were trembling.

He looked up at Xileina on the screen: the girl was floating inside the cabin, gazing quietly into deep space, as if deep in thought.

After looking for a long time, Jiang Zhengge finally spoke:

"Headquarters."

He looked down at the launch button on the center console.

"Black Morning Star is being deployed."

Jiang Zhengge pressed it down.

"Om——"

The rocket launch process has begun, and the mechanical structure has started to detach.

Triton seemed somewhat surprised to see this.

He stared at Jiang Zhengge for a long while, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth:

"It seems you have more guts than I thought..."

"Old Jiang, are you sure?" Li Zhanyi asked softly.

“She didn’t give us a choice,” Jiang Zhengge said with his eyes closed. “If the virus can’t kill the hub AI, my elder brother will control her, and the rise of Black Star will be irreversible.”

"She took the initiative and left us no choice."

Just then, applause came from a corner of the hall.

"Slap...slap...slap..."

Everyone turned their attention to that side: a black skeleton slowly walked out, its gaze sweeping over everyone in the hall.

“What a touching scene,” Black Skull said. “The Gypsy village girl fooled everyone and wanted to seize power over the stars.”

"Your master isn't afraid yet?" Triton's lips curled into a sneer. "Bastard..."

His eyes narrowed, and the black skull exploded instantly.

Immediately afterwards, a second black skeleton emerged from the corner of the room.

"The brother protected the sister, the boy protected the girl, and the two men stood in front of her, making her believe that she could overcome all the insurmountable forces."

The black skull stepped over the corpses of its companions and continued forward.

He exploded after taking only a few steps.

"Pfft!"

"Unfortunately, no matter how realistic your acting is, it is still just acting."

Another black skull stepped forward, staring directly at Triton.

Triton's deep blue eyes narrowed slightly:

"Eldest brother?"

He finally recognized who was behind the black skull mask.

“I thought you were still in Siberia serving that old dog,” Tritton said in a low voice.

“Finding God is the first order,” Black Skull said. “So, you’ve decided to let Sylvanas Boswell use the Foundation’s hard work for her personal revenge?”

"So what?" Triton's expression was fierce. "She's mine..."

On the beach, Xileina's words echoed in his ears once again.

Triton bit his tongue, as if the words were stained with blood:

"...She is my sister."

"Sister? You're nothing but a product of the Foundation's experiments, only your adaptability exceeded our expectations," Black Skull said calmly. "You have no connection to this body, yet you believe you're related to Sirena Boswell by blood?"

“It’s not your place to speak…” Triton clenched his fist.

“I am the agent of the merciful father, and you have disobeyed his command,” the Black Skull said. “Do you know the price?”

"The price? Heh... Hahaha!"

Triton covered his face and laughed.

"What? You're going to send your bunch of mouthpieces... to stop me?"

"No need."

The black skull slowly shook its head.

"I just want you to remember your identity and do your job well."

"You are just a tool, and you only deserve to be a tool."

After saying that, Black Skull took out a recorder and pressed a button.

A deep voice came from the radio:

"...a black river...shards of glass...rusty nails...a spine..."

Almost simultaneously, Triton's pupils suddenly contracted.

He raised his arm in disbelief and found that his five fingers were trembling.

"...disinfectant...coniferous forests...Gypsies...prejudice..."

"Shut up..." Triton clutched his head. "Shut up!"

The black skull exploded, and at the same time, the black skulls in the shadows also exploded one after another, splattering crimson marks on the wall.

But the broadcast did not stop:

"...damp wood...cage...concrete walls...laboratory..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Triton knelt on the ground, tilted his head back, and howled wildly.

"...Trumado...The Abyss...The Banshee's Song..."

"...Triston..."

The moment the last word was uttered, Triton froze.

Lin Chen watched as the demigod knelt there like a stone statue, watching the scales on his body rise one by one...

When he raised his head again, his eyes had already turned golden.

Pure golden eyes.

"Number F-13552, at your command."

Triton spoke in a cold, emotionless tone.

“Do what you were born to do, F-13552,” the elder brother whispered, “Destroy the rocket and stop the virus from spreading.”

"receive."

Triton slowly stood up.

He turned his head, looked at the rockets outside the window, and stretched out his hand; a hurricane formed outside the window—

He's going to destroy the rocket!

"Lin Chen! Now!" Jiang Zhengge shouted.

Lin Chen suddenly pulled out the grenade launcher and aimed it at Triton!

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time—when Triton used his abilities on a large scale, the scales on his body would inevitably open, and his mental energy would focus on the wind and water that he was controlling.

This is the moment when Triton's vigilance is at its lowest!

This is also the moment when the success rate of a sneak attack is the highest!

"Oh!"

"Sizzle—"

"The RBAI-3380 'Anti-Triton' gas grenade hit Triton's torso squarely, and the yellow gas exploded instantly!"

"Cough!"

Triton, who was activating his ability, felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if lava was pouring into his trachea and into his lungs!

He suddenly gripped his throat, and golden light flashed in his eyes.

The hurricane surrounding the rocket vanished, and Triton collapsed to his knees, struggling in agony.

Skunk gas entered his body and destroyed his lungs!

But in just a few seconds, Triton slowly stood up again.

He closed the scales on his body and held his breath...

Then continue walking outwards!

He resolutely carried out the order to destroy the rocket!

"Stop him!" Jiang Zhengge shouted.

Lin Chen charged towards Triton first, raising his shotgun at him as he ran:

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The superalloy armor-piercing projectile struck his body, exploding in bursts of blue light: that eerie, ghostly blue energy protective layer was still in effect.

In this state, even a whale-sounding bomb would be useless!

"Da da da da da!"

The crowd focused their fire on Triton's body, and the dense hail of bullets struck his skin, but could not penetrate his defenses in the slightest.

Ignoring the barrage of fire from the crowd, Triton passed through the shattered giant glass screen and strode towards the distant rocket!

On the launch pad, the rocket is undergoing the launch procedure, and the engine is igniting:

"Rumble..."

White smoke billowed out like waves in the torrential rain, sweeping across the plains.

Triton moved forward step by step on the flat ground. Unable to control the wind, he could not move quickly and could only step on the cement ground one step at a time.

Lin Chen noticed a hint of fatigue in his gait—
