I write obituaries for the gods

The demigod's body was now covered in iron spikes, and he trembled, metallic tears streaming from his eyes.

"It hurts... Fuck... Fuck! Damn it...it hurts..."

The demigod staggered toward Lin Chen, raising one hand. The surrounding metal condensed into a spear shape in the air, pointing directly at Lin Chen.

"I'll... kill you!"

Just as Captain England was about to activate the magnetic field, flames suddenly rained down from above—

"boom!!!"

The intense heat, constrained by the wind, enveloped Captain England. He screamed in agony as the metal bones protruding from his body gradually melted.

"Take it!"

The large-caliber revolver landed on the ground. Lin Chen turned his head and saw Jiang Zhengge and the battered Lucy standing high on the file shelf, driving the Spiritual Awareness together.

"There's no time like the present!" Jiang Zhengge shouted. "Kill him!"

Lin Chen picked up the RSH-12 and shrugged off the magazine: a bullet emitting a ghostly blue light was ready to fire.

12.7x55mm "Whale Cry" rounds... Lin Chen almost forgot that this revolver was firing a super-large caliber round; Zhan Yi's .338 sniper rifle, converted, was only 8.6mm...

At close range, this shot will hurt a lot.

“He has two hearts,” Li Zhanyi’s voice came through the earpiece, “I saw it… on the right!”

Lin Chen put the magazine back in place, raised his gun, and aimed at Captain England's right chest.

Seemingly sensing Lin Chen's actions, Captain England desperately manipulated the surrounding magnetic field, sending metal rods flying overhead to form a shield to protect him from the flames.

Molten metal dripped onto his body, flowing with a burnt smell, making his screams even more terrifying.

"I can't die here... damn it... I can't..."

Under the demigod's desperate gaze, Lin Chen aimed at his chest.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger—

"Om——"

A burst of silvery-white light suddenly erupted, drawing a triangle in front of Lin Chen.

Inside the triangle, Lin Chen saw his own back.

"...!"

What appeared before them was a teleportation portal that led directly to the back of Lin Chen!

Lin Chen quickly lowered his gun: if he had fired just now, the bullet would have gone straight through the portal and hit him in the back!

He would be smashed to pieces by himself!

Almost simultaneously, a triangular door opened above the English captain's head, and then opened again in front of Jiang Zhengge and Lucy.

"Om-"

Flames and wind rushed through the portal, instantly sending Jiang Zhengge and Lucy flying.

Lin Chen stood up, walked around the portal, and pointed his gun at Captain England.

Almost simultaneously, he saw another triangular portal open:

"Om-"

A hand reached out from the portal and grabbed Captain England's head.

Through the door, Lin Chen saw the person who opened it:

He wore silver armor and a robe that looked like mercury, covered with geometric patterns.

His head was covered by a long, cylindrical silver helmet, its smooth surface gleaming with silver symbols.

Lin Chen's instincts told him that it was a demigod.

A powerful demigod.

So powerful...he absolutely could not fight against it.

"Om——"

A flash of silver light appeared, and Lin Chen stopped in his tracks. He saw a lightning-shaped spatial rift lying across his neck, its sharp edges piercing his skin.

If he had taken one more step closer, Lin Chen's carotid artery would have been severed.

He could only watch helplessly as the English captain was dragged through the triangular gate, and then all the cracks disappeared simultaneously.

"...!"

Lin Chen subconsciously wanted to chase after the place where the triangular door had disappeared, when he heard Jiang Zhengge shout:

"Don't move! There's no need to chase! That guy's already crippled!"

For the first time, he sensed a hint of apprehension in Section Chief Jiang's tone.

Lin Chen stopped and watched the two disheveled people slowly walk over from the side, his expression tense.

"Who was that just now?" Lin Chen asked softly.

“Spatial manipulation…teleportation…” Lucy whispered. “Only one demigod has such power, according to records.”

"Did you see what he looked like?" Jiang Zhengge asked Lin Chen.

"I saw it."

Lin Chen gave a brief description of the attire he had seen.

After listening to his description, Jiang Zhengge sighed softly and said:

"Then it's confirmed, it really is him."

"Who?"

Euclid.

Looking at the spot where the silver light disappeared, Jiang Zhengge's expression became complicated.

"Alpha-level demigod, member of the F Council."

"The F Council has entered the fray."

"To protect a demigod who's practically dead... the F Council actually got involved?"

......

Chapter 57 Letter

The F Parliament has stepped in.

This conclusion seemed to leave Jiang Zhengge and Lucy looking worried, and even Lin Chen, who had just entered the abnormal world, roughly understood its meaning.

The F Council is at the top of the Foundation and is the shadow government of Yudu.

They are always the manipulators hidden in the shadows, never revealing themselves unless absolutely necessary.

But now, a member of the F Council has come here in person and rescued Captain England.

why?

This guy hasn't even built up his reputation yet, unlike Optimus Prime who already has a good reputation and has starred in several blockbuster movies.

If Optimus Prime can be used as a pawn... is it really necessary for the F Council to take the initiative for the sake of a British captain?

Not to mention that Captain England has been beaten to the point of being practically crippled. The video of this battle is even enough for the investigation bureau to overturn his conviction. Whether in the public opinion or in reality, Captain England is practically crippled.

Why did Euclid have to get involved himself?

Is there something else going on here?

Lin Chen suddenly recalled what the English captain had said:

"...Before long, the Investigation Bureau will be no match for us..."

From what he said, it seemed that the foundation was brewing some kind of plan, something big.

And Captain England knew about this plan...

"...!"

Lin Chen suddenly realized something:

The F Council is clearly aware of the "Mirage City's" capabilities!

They knew that if Captain England died at Lin Chen's hands, Lin Chen would learn about the Foundation's plan through "Mirage City"!

That plan was enough to make the Bureau of Investigation unable to fight the Foundation!

Lin Chen recalled Qingtian's memories: in those memories, his "eldest brother" had warned Qingtian to be careful of "the ghosts of history".

Was that warning based on the same reason?

After Lin Chen killed Qingtian, the F Council learned that the "ghost of history" had returned, so they kept an eye on Captain England.

They need to prevent Lin Chen from killing Captain Yinglun and to prevent the plan from being exposed to Lin Chen.

What could that plan be?

Is it the abyss city "Ideal State" that can drag all regions directly into the subspace?

Or was it the unknown force that instantly severed the Iron Horn Bridge in half?

"..."

"Wow...you're bleeding! Are you alright? Are you alright? Your eyes are glazed over, Lin Chen!"

Lin Chen came to his senses and found Li Zhanyi standing in front of him in a panic, taking something out of Lin Chen's needle case.

At this moment, the Second Department had arrived at the scene. Marcus was talking to Jiang Zhengge, while Lucy was already lying on a stretcher, looking at the medical staff bandaging her with an impatient expression.

"I'm fine," Lin Chen realized, "just a scratch."

“But your neck is covered in blood,” Li Zhanyi said, standing on tiptoe. “Don’t move.”

She inserted an needle into Lin Chen's neck, and the bleeding gradually stopped.

"Are you feeling dizzy?" Li Zhanyi asked.

"No."

"Well...it's alright..."

After Li Zhanyi finished speaking, his body swayed slightly and went limp.

"It's sticking to my clothes!"

He caught Li Zhanyi and pulled her into his arms to prevent her from falling.

"It's nothing..." Li Zhanyi's voice was soft, "The prophecy was a bit... overdone... haha..."

She wrapped her arms around Lin Chen's neck, like a sloth.

Lin Chen picked up Li Zhanyi and turned to look at Section Chief Jiang for help.

Seeing this, Section Chief Jiang stopped talking to Marcus, jogged over to Lin Chen's side, and checked on Li Zhanyi.

"It's nothing, it's just that Lingzhi is overloaded and the load is a bit too heavy," Jiang Zhengge said. "You take her out of the ruins first, the Third Division is already at the door."

"it is good."

So, Lin Chen carried Li Zhanyi and walked towards the door of the confidential archives room.

As he turned around, he heard Marcus apologizing to Jiang Zhengge:

"This one is ours. We held the entrance, but they went in using that portal."

"It's alright, we still won a great victory this time. We got the intelligence, and Captain England is crippled; he probably won't be able to show his face," Jiang Zhengge said optimistically. "However, the F Council's decision to intervene now has made the situation more complicated..."

"Is the F Council... real or fake?"

"..."

After being cleared out by the Second Division, the entire archives maze became quiet, and most of those human skin books had been disposed of and piled up by the roadside.

Of course, Lin Chen felt that the biggest reason for the tranquility was probably the disappearance of the "archiver".

I wonder if those scattered little characters will ever grow back... RIP...

Lin Chen touched his pocket: the two dark blue crystals that had fallen after the "archivist" disappeared were inside.
