I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

"Hmph." Li Lin sneered, "Even if I bear the weight of the Tang Dynasty's dragon vein on my back, I still need to support the Bronze City with one hand..."

The next instant, a third voice came from the black door, interrupting Li Lin's boastful words.

The voice was so gentle, like a spring breeze or flowing water; its owner should never have been on this battlefield.

"I'm sorry... Emperor, whom I've never met before—but I owe Princess Liuli a huge favor, so I have no choice but to participate in this war against my will!"

That was the last god-slayer who had not yet revealed her true form, the kind Lady Elsa, the mobile super catastrophe, the queen of the demon cave.

At Princess Sita's request, she unexpectedly entered the ambush.

"However, however, I detest war so much that I will only use three powers to repay Princess Liuli for her three acts of assistance to me."

Lady Elsa, still trapped in the past and unable to return to the present, sighed, "Beautiful maiden, open the door to the secret teachings!"

—Power: Live or Die!

Then time stood still, and the unprecedented effects of winter phases suddenly descended!

[Impact: A frigid atmosphere]

[The influence of the third-order winter phase!]

Winter penetrates clothing, penetrates skin, and resides in blood vessels.

[A third-order influence! Power and danger intertwine and merge into one.]

Among the seven god-slayers, the most powerful god-slayer is undoubtedly the current Donghuang Li Lin. Any god-slayer who is alone cannot escape being easily crushed—this is evidenced by the lives of the other god-slayers.

But when it comes to trouble, it's Mrs. Elsa who causes the most headaches.

"You know what? The history of our world has long been a complicated mess."

While manipulating the giant wolf head to devour Li Lin's golden-purple twilight, Marquis Voban unleashed a massive calamity fire from the sky, simultaneously using the Eye of Sodom to seal off Li Lin's escape route.

Yet he still had the leisure to chat with Hades, who was under pressure head-on.

Grass!

John Prutto, whose expression was not visible, cursed inwardly.

Marquis Voban was not surprised that he did not receive a reply from Kang Yalu. He glared at Li Lin with his emerald green wolf eyes, relieving some of the pressure on Hades, and continued to speak.

"Ultimately, it's because Lady Elsa, this infuriating mobile calamity, possesses powers over time and causality—every time she travels back in time, she causes irreversible minor damage to history itself. Even if there is a historical correction force, the fact that 'fate' allows her actions means, in a sense, that history is also giving her a break."

A small leak can sink a great ship. Lady Elsa’s disturbance may have been a tiny wound in history, but even a tiny wound can become a scar on the world.

“...What exactly do you know?” John Prutto asked.

But Marquis Voban said nothing more, instead turning his gaze to the center of the battlefield.

A biting chill descended upon this place, and even the surging tides seemed to freeze eerily. The divinity flowing from the void was not the usual spring and winter, but pure cold.

More indifferent than the chill of dawn, more deathly still than silent ashes.

A chilling rainbow of light shimmered down from the sky, and in that instant, the temperature across the entire Japanese archipelago dropped by twelve degrees Celsius, plunging a seven-kilometer radius around the Kyomoon Bridge into a deathly silence.

The air seemed to freeze into a bluish-green solid, condensing into a smooth mirror-like surface in front of Li Lin—like fresh snow, or like a full moon.

The phantom of the pure white gate sat in the center of the battlefield.

Even from such a distance, John Prutto and the Marquis of Voban could still feel the bone-chilling cold.

This cold door that appeared in the air blocked out the golden-purple twilight, but it also blocked out the hollow wolf head, and even suppressed the power operation of this area, bringing everything to a standstill and back on track.

The world is clear and bright, and everything looks brand new.

A silent force was indiscriminately suppressing them all, forcing them to remain silent, like a snowflake falling on their lips, trying to seal, lock, and heal their mouths like a deformed scar.

“This is not a manifestation of Lady Elsa’s power.” Hades found his voice to be as deep as the setting sun in winter.

If his memory isn't faulty, then Lady Elsa's power, "Live or Die," should normally summon spring and winter, or manifest as "Eternal Spring" which heals all things, or as "Winter" which is like falling into the underworld.

This power, usurped from Persephone, the queen of the underworld in Greek mythology, should not have manifested itself in such a bizarre and powerful form.

“Of course not.” The Wolf King’s voice was sharp as a howling winter wind. “We can speak because we all possess the powers of the Underworld. But the Eastern Emperor does not.”

No one knows what Lady Elsa saw or who she met during her thousands of years of time travel, which led to such a change in her powers.

But now John Prutto, or rather Anne Charlton, is beginning to truly realize how... chilling Mrs. Elsa is.

Then, Lady Elsa’s second chant began leisurely.

"When good deeds are not yet ripe, evil retribution will come; when good deeds are ripe, good retribution will come. Therefore, good people should receive good rewards, and evil people should receive evil retribution. This law of cause and effect will continue until the hellfire is emptied—please grant me protection!"

—Power [Grand Luck].

This power originates from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in Buddhism, and will bestow good fortune upon Lady Aisha, as well as misfortune upon those who obstruct her.

This power, when used alone, has little effect on beings of the same god-killing level. Instead, it may bring misfortune to Lady Aisha herself due to the entanglement of fate. However, the trouble with this power lies in its combination with another of her powers.

The ground sank, and caves opened up.

—Power [The Fairy Realm Corridor: Beyond the Timeless Horizon].

The portal from reality to the unreal has been opened.

At the boundary between land and sea, the shadows of crows blot out the sky.

418, hurry up!

Lady Elsa's powers were all acquired involuntarily—either by chance, through passive defense, or through some absurd and ridiculous circumstances.

But that's precisely why she's called trouble.

Godslayers can only gain Pandora's favor and become Godslayers through a reincarnation ritual by killing disobedient gods under fair conditions.

In other words, when they killed gods, their actions were closely related to the elusive attribute of "luck."

Human wisdom or the power of the mortals are laughably weak compared to the disobedient gods, so luck is the only condition that determines their victory and survival.

In this situation, Lady Elsa, who did not want to become a god-slayer, became one anyway—this gives a glimpse into just how terrifying her "strong luck" was.

As is widely known, Li Lin has always had very bad luck...

Even before this ambush occurred, when Li Lin and Nian were on their honeymoon in London, he had already experienced the impact of "luck" after it was quantified. After experiencing these things, Li Lin had intentionally or unintentionally taken measures to avoid these shortcomings: including but not limited to carrying out some suspicious transfer rituals, killing the instigator before things broke out, and... asking Si Chen Shi Tan Ya for help.

In the divination system, the crow on the beach symbolizes unpredictable thieves and spies, and is a messenger flying in front of the sun.

Even earlier, the Crow of the Beach had already made its retinue Li Lin's messengers. If luck can be quantified, then Li Lin's usual bad luck was actually paving the way for his next stroke of good fortune.

"I don't think it's right."

Hades no longer bothered to resist the clouds that opened up and touched things. As the door to "unreality" opened, he sensed that Li Lin's power to open up things was also waning.

But it shouldn't be like this. How could Donghuang, who has created so many amazing miracles and unparalleled achievements, just sit and wait for death?

Where is his massive mech? And where is that bronze city called Chang'an? More importantly, why are Veleslana and the Sword King, who swore to follow him, completely unresponsive?

Where is His Majesty the Heavenly Craftsman, who shares half of the power of the Tang Kingdom with Emperor Li Lin?

“They’re raiding your home.” Li Lin fell into the unreal Netherworld, his voice echoing in the ears of Marquis Voban and John Pruto. “They’ve gone to your hometown—yes, right now only the Sun-Casting Machine God is in charge of Chang’an.”

"Eastern Europe, Northern Europe, America, India—"

Li Lin revealed a chilling smile.

If Li Lin hadn't gone to the meeting alone and attracted them, Vereslana and the others wouldn't have been able to eliminate the other resistance forces so easily.

Marquis Voban simply stared indifferently at Li Lin. Lady Aisha of the Cloud Recesses did not offer an answer. Only Hades, whose face, hidden beneath his mask, turned an unprecedented shade of ashen, overwhelmed by rage and shame.

The Wolf King is an old-fashioned god-slayer who doesn't care about the deaths or injuries of his followers—he can just recruit more if they all die.

Lady Elsa is a truly compassionate and saintly woman, but it is precisely because of this that she does not care about the country or the nation. Moreover, she was originally from a low caste in India and later inherited her master's wealth and returned to England. In many ways, she is not even in the present time and space.

In this context, deeply ingrained concepts like nation, ethnicity, and surname seem insignificant. After all, in the eyes of those who go against the grain, these things that are valued by ordinary people are just like a series of photographs.

Only John Pluto, the American defender who appears as a superhero, realizes that what he values ​​has been undermined by Lee Lin.

Hades is a young god-slayer of the same generation as Alexander Gascoigne, only a few years older than the Sword King. While Hades operates in the guise of Anne Charlton, the object of her affections is Jack, who has always been her assistant.

Now it's probably not just Jack; major cities like New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles have all fallen victim to nature's creation.

It's even possible that the entire country has already...

However, John Prutto said nothing; he simply watched silently as the expanding crypt was swallowed up by the surroundings.

"Today, the Eastern Emperor must die here."

That's what he finally said.

In the next instant, a starry night-like space replaced the scenery of the real world, while the landscape of the real world spread out endlessly beneath their feet like pieces of paper, like a sea of ​​mixed and stacked color blocks.

In the ocean tide, eight enormous snake heads emerged, their ferocious and cold scales appearing and disappearing against the dim cosmic background, like a massive moving mountain range.

That was the serpent god who was slain by the Emperor, the Earth Mother symbolizing the original faith, and the Yamata no Orochi, one of the seven ancient gods along with Tiamat.

Yu Laogong and others had signed a contract with Li Lin, and the curse still applies to them.

Therefore, the Emperor did not appear here, even though he contributed greatly to this ambush... he still only appeared in the form of the Yamata no Orochi.

Li Lin has the ability to manipulate curses and bonds, and Yu Gongfu naturally has the same ability as well, not only that, but he has a great deal of it.

—And now they are in the gap of time and space, the passage between the present world and the underworld, the void between reason and unreality, which is the best burial place for Donghuang Li Lin.

Here, the god-slayers and disobedient gods can unleash their full power, while Li Lin is limited by his past "curse" and the suppression of many powers, resulting in a significant decrease in his strength.
