Crossover anime, and you call this a slice-of-life story?

Of the gods who were still alive, only some lower and middle-ranking gods who were terrified and trembling in the ruins remained, along with a few lucky ones who had seized the opportunity and fled the core battlefield early on.

Shangguan Yun's aura had already reached the peak of the seventh rank, and he was just one step away from stepping into the eighth rank. He no longer had much interest in these "small fish". It would be good to leave them to the Emperor of the End to deal with and do him a favor.

In the arena, only God King Os, relying on his profound foundation at the world-class peak and the last source of the divine realm, still retained a trace of life.

But he was on the verge of death, his divine essence cracked, and he lay beside the broken throne, too weak to even stand up.

Shangguan Yun emerged from the slowly receding sea of ​​lightning, his robes fluttering, spotless.

He exuded an invisible, suffocating pressure, a sign that he was about to break through, as if even a single breath could trigger the resonance of the laws of the entire world.

He walked step by step to Os, looking down at the supreme god-king who once ruled the divine realm and dominated the continent.

Oss struggled to raise his head, golden divine blood continuously spilling from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Shangguan Yun, his eyes filled with complex and incomprehensible emotions—anger, resentment, and fear—but in the end, all of these turned into a deathly silence and desolation.

"Who...are you?"

Oss's voice was hoarse and weak, like a flickering candle in the wind.

"Why ask so many questions of a dying person?"

Shangguan Yun asked calmly, "Any last words?"

Upon hearing this, Os gave a bitter smile.

His last words? With the divine realm destroyed and the gods fallen, what last words could this God-King possibly say?

His gaze was unfocused as he looked at the shattered divine realm. Finally, he gathered his last bit of strength and stared intently at Shangguan Yun, as if trying to imprint his image into the cycle of reincarnation.

"I am not reconciled... Why does such a being as you exist in this world?"

The voice gradually faded and eventually disappeared completely.

The divine light in Os's eyes dimmed completely, but he still managed to hold on and not die immediately, as if he was waiting for the final judgment.

Shangguan Yun nodded slightly: "It's normal to feel resentful. Unfortunately, that's just how the world is. Who knows, one day I might end up like you."

Since he gained the ability to perfectly devour his enemies, he was destined to embark on the path of proving his path through slaughter!

No amount of reasoning can cover up this fact.

Perhaps one day he will be besieged by all the powerful figures, and his fate may not be better than theirs.

However, he will not regret it!

He raised his hand, and in his palm, chaotic lightning began to condense, emanating a destructive aura that made the entire broken divine realm tremble.

The next moment, endless lightning completely engulfed God King Os.

Chapter 301 Eighth Rank! Immortal!

In the distance, above the suspended mountain peaks.

Dead silence.

It was as if a cold current had instantly frozen the thoughts and breaths of Soan and the others.

They stood frozen atop the peak like six petrified statues, their eyes fixed on the core of the battlefield, which had been transformed into a thunderous inferno and a place where gods had fallen.

What just happened has completely exceeded the limits of their imagination.

From Shangguan Yun releasing the Thunder Pool, a vast sea of ​​thunder covering thousands of miles, easily annihilating the destructive torrent of the Gods' Judgment Array, to him casually punching the Lord of Radiance, Solaris, the main god fell like fireworks fading into oblivion.

Then he transforms into the Grim Reaper, flashing and maneuvering in the sea of ​​lightning, each strike inevitably taking the life of one or even several gods.

Even the Goddess of Life, known as the most beautiful goddess in the divine realm, was mercilessly killed by the other party.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, yet it seemed to be stretched out infinitely, with every detail carrying a cruel and violent aesthetic that sends chills down your spine.

In the end, God-King Oss's burning of his essence and hysterical counterattack were ruthlessly dismantled. Like a trapped beast, he was driven to the brink of death and collapsed beside the shattered throne, before being completely swallowed up by the chaotic lightning condensed in Shangguan Yun's palm...

The whole process was so fast that it took no time to react.

"Gudong..."

Kaito Kuroba swallowed unconsciously, his throat dry and sore.

His once-proud magic tricks and ingenious calculations seemed so insignificant in the face of that pure, extreme, and violent power.

He felt like an ant hiding in a corner, watching the war of giants, lacking even the right to understand.

He used to have the confidence and pride that made him feel incredibly powerful after becoming a half-ghoul, but now it has been completely destroyed.

An endless longing for such power arose in my heart.

If I had that kind of power, what would I be afraid of from some mysterious organization?

As for the so-called Pandora's Stone?

It's just a broken rock.

"Is this... Senior Shangguan's true strength?"

Hachiman Hikigaya's eyes widened as he muttered to himself.

His half-ghoul bloodline trembled instinctively under the devastating energy fluctuations, but more than that, it was an indescribable shock and longing.

Protecting his family and having enough power—this scene before him completely overturned and elevated his understanding of the word "power" to an unprecedented level.

Kirishima Ayato's ghoul eyes had appeared on their own at some point, and his scarlet pupils were contracting violently.

He pursues power, yearns for strength, and admires the strong even more.

Back in the ghoul world, he joined the Aogiri Tree organization to protect his family, and that's when he learned the importance of having power.

During training at the base, besides Hachiman Hikigaya, he was the one who got beaten up the most.

What Shangguan Yun is displaying at this moment is a power that transcends race and rules!

This was completely different from his understanding of "strength"; it was a more invincible power.

He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, as a certain thought grew wildly in his mind.

Elma, the dragon who claimed to be Thor's friend, was now pale, her blue vertical pupils filled with barely concealed fear.

She had witnessed the world-destroying power of the leader and the Emperor of the End.

But this man who slaughtered gods with unparalleled power was simply too terrifying; even the God King was as powerless as an infant in front of him!

In an instant, his perception of Shangguan Yun shifted from "a powerful figure to be wary of" to "an unfathomable supreme being."

As for John, this human Saint-level powerhouse who was just passing by, he had already collapsed to the ground, his whole body soaked in cold sweat, his eyes glazed over, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a sound.

His lifelong pursuit, the gods of the divine realm whom he regarded as deities, were like paper toys in front of Shangguan Yun, easily torn apart and crushed.

His worldview and view of power completely collapsed and shattered at this moment.

He was filled with boundless fear and a sense of insignificance, as if he were just a speck of dust that could be blown away by the aftershocks at any moment.

The fact that almost the entire divine realm was wiped out by one person will cause a huge shock throughout the entire continent!

Countless forces will swarm in like sharks smelling blood.

Those powerful races that have been suppressed by the gods for many years will also be unable to bear the loneliness.

Where will humanity go from here?

However, of all those present, the one who reacted most strongly was Soan.

This mid-level god, who had been thrilled to have latched onto a powerful figure not long ago, was now deathly pale, his body trembling uncontrollably, his teeth chattering, and his golden eyes filled with extreme fear and panic!

He witnessed firsthand how Shangguan Yun slaughtered his "kin" without batting an eye.

Those gods he once revered, envied, or disdained—high gods, chief gods… even god-kings! In that being's eyes, they seemed no different from ants!

A chilling coldness shot from the soles of Soan's feet straight to the top of his head, instantly freezing his blood and mind.

'Even...even His Majesty the God-King was killed! All three main gods are dead! So many high-ranking gods, mid-ranking gods...they're all dead?!'

He knew that this person was going to cause a great disturbance in the divine realm, but he only knew that it was just a disturbance.

He could never have imagined that the other party would kill all the gods above the rank of god, including the god king.

'I am merely a mid-level god… an insignificant mid-level god!'

'I was so smug before, thinking I'd latched onto a powerful figure... but now...'

Uncontrollably, images flashed through Soan's mind: Shangguan Yun casually smashing that high-ranking god as easily as crushing a watermelon, and the ferocious appearance of the thunder dragon devouring the god.

A thought that made his very soul scream surged forth:

'Will he...will he end up hurting me too...?'

After all, he felt that he hadn't played any significant role other than leading the way.

The more Soan thought about it, the more frightened and desperate he became.

He wished he had never been some damned god, but just an ordinary human or elf!

He secretly glanced at Shangguan Yun's back. The figure that had once represented "invincibility" and "backbone" in his eyes now exuded a deathly aura more terrifying than that of a demon from the abyss.

He instinctively wanted to back away, to escape, but his body was too stiff to obey him, and he knew that in the face of this being, any thought of running away was futile and ridiculous.

He could only wait quietly for the other party's decision and judgment.

Shangguan Yun was completely unaware of, and utterly indifferent to, the mental turmoil of the onlookers, especially Suo An's near-collapse.

His entire being was immersed in the earth-shattering transformation that was about to take place within him.

The moment the source of the God-King Osna, containing the most supreme rules and vast divine power of this world, was completely refined and absorbed by him, and surged into his body—

hum! ! !

The aura around Shangguan Yun, which had already reached its critical point, exploded like a powder keg that had been ignited!

But this outbreak did not spread outwards, but rather collapsed inwards!

Centered on him, the space, light, energy, and even the finest threads of law within a radius of tens of thousands of miles began to converge and collapse toward him in an incomprehensible way!

It's as if he were a singularity with infinite gravity!

The thunder pool above his head emitted an unprecedented hum, and the thunder Dao patterns on the pool wall flowed and died at an unprecedented speed. The thunder liquid in the pool churned as if boiling, and countless thunder dragons roared excitedly in it. Their forms became more solid, their scales and claws clearer, and even their eyes became more lively!

With his eyes closed, Shangguan Yun's consciousness seemed to detach from his body and ascend to a higher dimension.

In his "vision," the laws that originally constituted the world were no longer ordinary energy flows, but had become clearly visible, crisscrossing "codes" containing infinite information and energy.

His body was undergoing tremendous changes.

Intricate and complex divine patterns began to naturally emerge on the bones, each pattern containing the essence of supreme laws.

The blood, like molten purple-gold, flowed with a thunderous roar.

The internal organs were reconstructed, and the dantian and qi sea expanded infinitely, as if transforming into a boundless expanse.

This is a complete leap in the level of life! It is a crucial step towards the "supreme"!

Eighth Rank!

In the myriad realms, there are different names for them—the Immortal Realm, the Lord of Laws, and so on. But the core essence is to initially transcend the constraints of the original world, to bear the laws with one's body, to control the rules with one's will, and to become a walking source of laws!

"Snap—!"

A shattering sound, seemingly emanating from the depths of the soul yet echoing throughout the entire world, resounded!

Shangguan Yun felt that some kind of innate, invisible shackles within her body were completely broken and shattered at this moment!

An indescribable brilliance burst forth from every pore of his body!

Shangguan Yun opened her eyes again.

Chapter 302 Holy Domain Protection, Gods Accompanying?

When Shangguan Yun reopened his eyes, the strange phenomenon in them had subsided.

He exhaled softly, feeling the boundless yet effortlessly powerful force within his body, like the vast universe at his fingertips. A truly contented smile appeared on Shangguan Yun's lips.

This trip to the Divine Realm yielded far more results than expected.

I originally planned to stay for the full 100 days, but now it seems there's no need for that anymore.

Having obtained the Primordial Spirit Crystal and Primordial Spirit Marrow, and successfully broken through to the eighth rank, the predetermined goal has been exceeded.

He had originally intended to 'borrow' some Spring of Life from the Elf Forest, but with the entire treasure trove of the Divine Realm, the so-called Spring of Life held no appeal for him.
