I write obituaries for the gods

Accompanied by a phantom whale roar, the .338 whale roar bullet shot through the air, striking the demigod squarely in the head—

"Pfft!"

The demigod's body swayed, and he plummeted from the sky, landing in the courtyard of the Investigation Bureau.

"boom!!"

As Lin Chen rode his motorcycle past the gate of the Investigation Bureau, he saw the demigod, feathers and all, stuck into the four-legged mech, seemingly embedded in the ammunition depot, causing a secondary explosion.

"Wow...killing two birds with one stone..." Li Zhanyi muttered.

"Lie down!"

Lin Chen turned around to protect Li Zhanyi, and together they jumped off the motorcycle and hid behind it—a group of soldiers rushed out from behind the quadruped mechs and kept firing at the two of them.

"Da da da da da!"

This hail of bullets didn't last long; soon, a few scattered gunshots rang out:

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With a thud, Lin Chen peeked out and saw a better-equipped squad rush out of the Investigation Bureau and kill the guards at the door from behind.

When their eyes met, the lead investigator lifted his mask—

It's Wang Pan.

"Brother Lin?" Wang Pan frowned. "Is this Brother Lin? Why are you wearing a sci-fi horror mask?"

Is this really going for a sci-fi horror vibe? Lin Chen's lips twitched slightly.

He took off his motorcycle helmet and mask, revealing his true face.

"It seems you've come to your senses." Lin Chen chuckled.

“Louis has gone mad,” Wang Pan shook his head. “I don’t completely trust you, but I hope you can be better than Louis.”

"Wang Pan! Why don't you believe us either!" Li Zhanyi pointed angrily at Wang Pan, "You even fired at us that night!"

"Sister Zhanyi...I..."

The girl's angry outburst startled Wang Pan. He scratched the back of his head, bewildered, and muttered to himself:

"What I investigated back then..."

"Why don't you believe us! We even share tables in the cafeteria!" Li Zhanyi became increasingly angry as she spoke. "If we don't save you during the 'Destroy the Nation' operation, you'll end up as a maid! Do you want to be a maid?!"

"I...I don't want to be a maid."

Wang Pan found himself completely unable to deal with Li Zhanyi. He looked at Lin Chen for help, but Lin Chen just shrugged.

This means that he also couldn't deal with Li Zhanyi.

"It was my fault. Everything happened too fast, there was too much information, I couldn't process it all at once," Wang Pan sighed. "I'm sorry, nobody wanted to see this situation..."

At this moment, motorcycles passed through the courtyard: the guerrillas and armed forces who had been providing cover for Lin Chen had all arrived.

"Senior! The streets are cleared! The rest of the comrades will be here soon!"

Embroidery Needle jumped off the motorcycle and looked at Wang Pan and the others opposite Lin Chen.

"What are these...?"

“They’re allies,” Lin Chen put on his mask, turned and nodded to Wang Pan. “Let’s go, it’s time to go in.”

"Ah."

Wang Pan waved his hand, and the members of the Rapid Response Division 1 led the way into the hall.

After Lin Chen followed Wang Pan into the hall, he was greeted by a scene of carnage: figures in prison uniforms were imprinted on the walls, ceiling, and floor, as if a massacre resembling hell had taken place here.

In the heart of this devastation, a towering demigod stood.

“Lord Yan,” Wang Pan whispered, “be careful, that guy is a Beta-level.”

“His skin…whale-whisper bullets can’t penetrate it.” Li Zhanyi quickly made a judgment.

“It’s alright,” Lin Chen said in a low voice. “Embroidery Needle, you take the guerrillas out and guard the courtyard. Tell the comrades on the Liberation Front to keep an eye on the airspace. If any helicopters try to escape, shoot them down with Stinger missiles.”

"Understood." Embroidery Needle nodded, turned and ran out the door.

“Louis is trapped, he can’t escape,” Lin Chen said softly. “Come on, let’s deal with this big guy slowly.”

"Dispose of? You're going to dispose of me?"

The Rock King walked slowly with earth-shaking steps, the clods of earth on his body opening and closing continuously.

“Ghosts…hehehe…I heard you killed quite a few demigods…” The Rock King’s rock-like mouth opened and closed, uttering indistinct words.

"You know everything, yet you still dare to come near me?" Lin Chen said in a low voice.

"Heh! They're all just gamma-level showpieces! Stupid idiots pushed to the front as targets, and you're even feeling superior!"

Lord Rock shook his arm, and the soil on his arm was rebuilt, gradually turning into a heavy giant hammer.

“Those of us who are genuinely capable have always been bodyguards for the powerful and wealthy! Ha, I earn way more in a day than those guys like Optimus Prime or Captain England!”

“Those who act as escorts shouldn’t look down on those who act as anchors,” Lin Chen chuckled, “even though you’re all the same.”

"What?"

"You can't beat professional players."

Lin Chen raised his shotgun and pulled the trigger at Prince Yan.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One after another, superalloy armor-piercing rounds were fired, blasting dents into the Rock King's skin.

Everyone in the hall raised their guns and fired simultaneously. The bullets hit Lord Yan's skin, kicking up clouds of dust.

"Ugh! You guys are tickling me!"

Lord Yan roared, raised his fists high, and slammed them down onto the ground—

"boom!!!"

With a deafening roar that shook the earth, the entire hall trembled violently, making everyone lose their footing.

Lord Yan charged forward with incredible speed, arriving before Lin Chen like a whirlwind, and raised his earthen mallet high above him—

"clang!"

Lin Chen raised his superalloy axe and barely managed to block the attack.

"You little devil! I'll crush you to death!" King Yan roared, squeezing downwards repeatedly, clearly intending to crush Lin Chen flat.

At a time like this, we can't hold back anymore!

Just as Lin Chen was about to use his spatial power, suddenly, a muffled gunshot rang out from afar—

"Boom! Boom boom!"

Three 12.7x55mm bullets blasted into the temples of the Rock King, causing him to scream in pain, and the force applied to Lin Chen also weakened.

Lin Chenyi turned his head and saw Jiang Zhengge leading the charge into the hall, followed closely by Lucy, Marcus, and the Bronze Mask.

"Old Jiang!" Li Zhanyi shouted excitedly.

"Deal with the enemy first!" Jiang Zhengge shouted.

In just a few seconds, Lord Rock regained his posture and slammed himself into the ground—

"boom!!!"

Jiang Zhengge was lifted into the air by the wind, while Lin Chen leaped up. The two of them became the only people in the hall who managed to avoid the shock thanks to their special skills.

While everyone else lost their balance, the two charged towards Lord Yan from different directions—

"Aaaaaaah!"

"Bang!!!"

The ground exploded, and stone pillars pierced through the floor, blasting outwards in all directions.

Jiang Zhengge suddenly waved his hand, and the gale turned into blades, blasting open the stone pillar in front of Lin Chen.

Taking advantage of the opportunity Jiang Zhengge created for him, Lin Chen leaped up and raised his axe high towards Prince Yan—

"clang!"

Lord Yan caught Lin Chen's chop with one arm. Before he could even feel smug, a burst of white light erupted from the tip of Lin Chen's axe—

"boom!!!"

Lord Yan's arm split in two from the center and exploded.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Seeing his seemingly indestructible body being torn apart, Lord Yan let out a blood-curdling scream. Almost simultaneously, the people in the hall opened fire on him from different angles—

"Da da da da da!"

Bullets were pinning him down; he covered his head, retreating while shouting:

"Don't hit me! Don't hit me! Please, please!!!"

As he roared, Lord Yan suddenly slammed his head into the ground, sending dust billowing up.

The fragments in the hall seemed to be drawn to it instantly, quickly coalescing on the surface of the Rock King's body and transforming into his outer shell.

"This thing is getting harder and harder!" Li Zhanyi shouted, "Brother Lin!"

"I'll handle it."

Lin Chen swung the axe, looking at the faint white light on it.

Just now, when he used Euclid's spatial power, he not only did not have his eyes covered, but he also did not feel any extra burden.

It's as if this mask enhanced his ability to find coordinates, simulating the effect of Euclid's helmet!

Is it just that this mask happens to have this ability?

No, Lin Chen didn't think so.

A more likely explanation is that Lin Chen needed to utilize spatial power, so the mask simulated this ability.

In this way...

"Om——"

Lin Chen opened the triangular gate, quickly passed through, and appeared directly above the mound of earth that Lord Yan had built.

He landed on the demigod's head, raising his axe high—

"Click! Click! Click! Click! Click!"

Each axe strike was accompanied by a violent burst of silver light, the cutting force of space tearing through the Rock King's skin, which was made of various clods of earth, concrete, and flesh, making him howl in pain.

"Aaaaaah!! Aaaaah!!"

He struggled frantically, trying to throw Lin Chen off.

"Get him under control!"

Wang Pan rushed forward and shot his grappling hook at Lord Yan:

"clang!"

"Clang clang clang!"

More than a dozen hooks struck Lord Yan's body at the same time, pulling him away and forcing him to regain his balance.

Jiang Zhengge and the others focused their firepower on the joints of Prince Yan's legs, blasting him to his knees.

Having almost completely lost the ability to resist, Lord Yan could only desperately wail and beg for mercy:

"No!! No! Ghost Grandpa! I was wrong! Ghost Grandpa!"

Lin Chen didn't speak. He kept swinging his axe, hacking open the hard shell on the head of the Rock King layer by layer.

Finally, with the final axe blow—

"Crack!"

The superalloy axe pierced through the Rock King's shell, precisely striking his skull and embedding itself in his brain.

"Cough... Ahh..."
