I write obituaries for the gods

"Little Johnston! Is that you?!" Ms. J shouted excitedly at Lin Chen, "Are you still there?!"

"Get your clothes wet!" Lin Chen shouted.

Li Zhanyi drew his pistol and aimed it at Louis.

Louis was already standing in front of the fusion device.

He reached out and touched the fusion device: once the safety lever was pulled, the casting of the Abyss crystal would be complete!

Watching Louis's retreating figure, Li Zhanyi gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger—

"Oh!"

The Whale-Sound Bullet roared out and struck Louis in the back.

The dark blue patterns spread out, instantly tearing his flesh apart.

"Uh..."

Louis staggered and collapsed onto the fusion device, using his last strength to reach out and grasp the lever...

Pull it up—

"Crack!"

The fusion device emitted a loud bang, and its middle section suddenly opened up, cracking open.

The slices located beneath the fusion unit, serving as crystal carriers, were instantly ejected and crashed to the ground—

"Pfft!"

It immediately shattered into pieces on the ground.

At this moment, both Li Zhanyi and Lin Chen were stunned:

Louis... actually chose to destroy the fusion device?

They didn't have time to think, because the next second, Ms. J roared and charged at Louis:

"Traitor! You are a traitor!"

"Sizzle!"

Lin Chen couldn't even see what happened, but he saw Louis's body being torn in half and then casually tossed aside.

"No, no! Little Johnston, Mommy didn't mean it, Mommy didn't..."

Ms. J ran to the huge fusion machine and shook the massive machine vigorously.

She shook herself harder and harder, until finally she crashed into it with increasing force—

"Bang!!!"

The fusion device exploded, and all the demigod extracts poured over Ms. J—

"Ughh ...

Ms. J raised her head and let out a miserable roar. Her flesh began to bubble, and the bubbles grew bigger and bigger, bursting open repeatedly, each time spraying out four or five fleshy growths.

After swelling abnormally for a while, Ms. J's body suddenly grew to be larger than half a room.

"Damn it," Lin Chen cursed, staring at the swollen mountain, "What is this...?"

"careful!"

Li Zhanyi shouted a warning, and the two of them dodged to the side.

"boom!"

A lump of flesh crashed to the ground, constantly bursting with bubbles, and within those bubbles were even more bubbles.

“Little Johnston!!!” Ms. J cried out pitifully, “Mommy wants…Mommy wants to take them to see you!”

Tears kept tearing open in her chest, the flesh inside churning and gradually coalescing into a ball of eerie blue light.

"Damn it!" Lin Chen's pupils shrank. "Black Star Six can lock onto the ruins inside a demigod's body as a guide!"

Ordinary demigods might not be able to do it, nor would they be accurate enough, but Euclid was, after all, an Alpha-level demigod, and the ruins within him must be powerful enough.

The woman J before us is clearly using her own flesh and blood to create a sufficiently powerful ruin.

Like a pregnant mother.

“Johnston…Mommy hears your voice…” A disgusting smile spread across Ms. J’s twisted face. “Oh…my darling…is today…is it your birthday? Mommy loves you…”

We must find a way to control her...

Just as Lin Chen was racking his brains, hurried footsteps approached.

He turned his head and saw Lucy and Jiang Zhengge rushing into the factory.

"Fire!" Lin Chen shouted.

Lucy nodded, then extended her hands toward Ms. J—

"boom------"

Flames appeared out of nowhere. Jiang Zhengge stretched out his hand, and the flames expanded rapidly under the wind, burning towards Ms. J's body—

"Zizzizi!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Ms. J screamed in agony as the expansion of her flesh was constantly suppressed under the intense heat.

Her weakness is just like Qingtian's!

Seeing this, Lin Chen also reached out and used Triton's power to stir up a gale, making the flames wrap around Ms. J's body like a giant dragon!

A dark shadow shot into the sky, shifting constantly amidst flashes of gray and white light—it was the Black Sword!

She kept using her sword to chop away at the tumors on Ms. J's body, piece by piece, making her body smaller and smaller.

Under the pressure of the crowd, Ms. J's body began to shrink continuously. She let out a roar of resentment, but no matter what she did, she could not stop her decline.

“Little John...Ston…” Ms. J groaned weakly, “Mommy…Mommy can’t do it anymore…I’m sorry…”

She was crying, two lines of dark blue tears streaming down her cheeks, making her look rather pitiful at that moment.

She is a mother caught up in a twisted game, who lost her son and everything else.

She allowed her son to be transformed into a demigod, simply because the Foundation endlessly revered the demigod status.

Now, she and her son have come to the same end, albeit on different paths.

A twisted mass of flesh slowly extended toward the dark blue mass on Ms. J's chest. As the flesh gradually shrank under the erosion of the fire, the dark blue ruins were entering an increasingly unstable state.

Lin Chen saw through her intention. He reached out and projected a shotgun, aiming it at the ruins on Ms. J's chest.

The next second, Ms. J suddenly stopped.

She stared intently at the distance: Johnston was standing there, wearing a football uniform, his muscles not yet as twisted and bulging as before.

Johnston smiled as he looked at his mother, and just looked at her.

“Johnston…”

Ms. J gave up reaching for her own chest, and with her last bit of strength, the twisted tumor slowly extended towards her son.

"Mom...misses you..."

"Pfft!"

The dark blue ruins collapsed in a flash of light. Ms. J's massive body collapsed rapidly, and her flesh and blood dissipated into dust at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, leaving only a pile of broken bones crashing to the ground.

"Clap."

The demigod's life vanished.

"..."

Lin Chen turned his head and saw "Johnston" slowly walking over, his body gradually igniting with ashes that burned away his face.

It's Oswald.

“Just in time, Oswald,” Lucy gasped, slightly exhausted from using the fire. “How did you come up with that idea?”

“A parent’s weakness is always their child,” Oswald whispered. “J is just a mortal.”

"..."

For a moment, no one spoke.

Lin Chen turned his head and looked at a corner of the room not far away.

Louis was lying there, his body no longer bleeding, or perhaps he had bled out long ago.

He didn't know what he was feeling as he approached his former colleague, but he remembered that Louis raised his head when he bent down.

The other half of the mask had fallen off, and Louis's burned half of his face stared at Lin Chen, a grotesque smile spreading across his lips.

“We won,” he said weakly. “We won, Lin Chen.”

Lin Chen knew that Louis was beyond saving; even a demigod couldn't save someone from this level of injury.

Footsteps approached, and Lin Chen turned around to see Li Zhanyi squatting down beside him, looking at Louis with him.

“Louis…” Li Zhanyi’s expression was complicated.

"Stained clothes..."

Louis smiled faintly, his eyes flickering, looking somewhat aggrieved.

He struggled to raise his hand, but halfway up, it seemed to know better, or perhaps it was powerless, and fell back down.

"We must defend Yudu..." he said in a hoarse voice.

Before the two could answer, his eyes gradually dimmed, his head tilted to the side, and he exhaled his last breath.

"..."

Lin Chen reached out and closed Louis's eyes, then slowly stood up.

Behind him, Jiang Zhengge was pressing his earpiece, speaking rapidly:

"Bone Flower, we have successfully brought the Abyss factory under control. The crystal fusion process has been halted. There is some subspace contamination on site. Please immediately dispatch a cleanup team to control the situation at St. Peter's Orphanage and prevent the contamination from spreading..."

"Ms. J has been confirmed killed. Repeat, Ms. J has been confirmed killed..."

"Where is Louis? Where is Louis, the leader of the rebels?" Hua Molan asked.

Jiang Zhengge turned his head and glanced at Louis's corpse.

He didn't know what had just happened, but from Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi's expressions, he seemed to realize that things weren't so simple.

“Louis is confirmed dead,” Jiang Zhengge exhaled. “To repeat, the rebel leader, Louis, is confirmed dead.”

......

The two-front operation went very smoothly. Tang Xiaoren led the First Armed Division to take control of St. Peter's Town with overwhelming force. After their headquarters was destroyed, the remnants of the Black Pine Brotherhood in the Silver District chose to surrender.

This was a blitzkrieg, a blitzkrieg destined to be recorded in history.

However, for the members of the Rapid Response Division, this victory was not so sweet.

"..."

On the rooftop of the orphanage, Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi stood side by side, silently watching the transport planes flying back and forth in the sky.

Oswald and Lucy went to the orphanage to participate in the search work. The two of them seemed to be still immersed in some kind of nostalgia for the past, and they hadn't spoken much since the battle ended.

Lin Chen naturally felt something was off.

Since the chaos in Yudu began, his feelings for Louis have changed countless times, from initial surprise and disappointment to anger, and finally, watching Louis die in front of him, he even felt a little uneasy.

Uneasy, yes, unease is the word that best describes his inner emotions.

He felt like he was missing a piece of the puzzle—why did Louis change his mind without warning and choose to destroy the fusion device?

That step, if he had pressed it, would have dragged the entire fate of Yudu into the abyss.

But he changed his mind, without hesitation or second thought, making it seem like a decision made on the spur of the moment.

This is what he had intended to do from the very beginning.

"Why..." Lin Chen asked softly.

Li Zhanyi turned her head, looked at the boy beside her, and gently took his hand.
