Slaying God: I, the insane and witty god

The commemorative gaze passed over the bow of the pixel cruise ship and quietly looked into the distance.

There, the boundary between the sky and the sea has been completely torn apart.

A white beam of light so thick that it cannot be described in words,

Like a nail piercing the world,

It shot straight up from the sea level to the sky, poking a huge hole in the dark sky.

Then, an extremely huge knife slowly emerged from the hole.

The blade was pitch black, covered with strange dark red lines, as if it were the scars of this world.

It obscured the sky, and its shadow enveloped the entire evil city.

"Then...what is that?"

A young man named Azhe in the team was shaking in his voice. He was holding on to the railing on the side of the boat tightly, his face pale.

The burly man next to him, Shan Ge, swallowed his saliva, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, but he couldn't say a word.

Everyone's eyes subconsciously focused on Ji Nian. He was like the anchor of the ship.

"Huojindao." Ji Nian's voice was very soft, but very clear.

"The time of judgment has come."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Huojin Sword hanging in the sky began to change.

The dark red lines on the blade suddenly lit up with countless tiny golden spots, like stars lit up in the dark night.

"Captain, look!" Ah Zhe pointed to the distance, his voice rising eight octaves.

"Those points of light... are moving!"

The golden spot of light expanded rapidly, and in the next second, billions of thin golden threads shot out from the blade.

Like golden rain sprinkled by the gods, it fell precisely on the dead city below.

Each golden thread accurately wrapped around a resident in the "human circle".

The pixelated people who walked numbly and repeated their daily routines froze the moment they were touched by the golden thread.

"What are they doing? Are they going to arrest everyone?"

Brother Shan finally found his voice. He looked at the residents being wrapped in golden thread.

Then they were dragged uncontrollably into the sky in groups, flying towards the huge Huojin Sword, making their scalps numb.

The scene didn't seem like a rescue, but more like a massive fishing expedition.

At this moment, the corners of Jinyi's mouth slightly raised up, outlining an arc that was cold yet full of satisfaction.

He did not answer Shan Ge's question, but turned his head.

He said this to the knight beside him who stood as still as a statue from beginning to end.

"Knight, it's your turn."

There was no response from beneath the knight's visor, but his actions were the best answer.

He raised his arm, and a virtual operating interface that only he could see popped up in front of him. He lightly tapped it with his finger.

One command, effective instantly.

"boom--"

A dull thud came from under everyone's feet, and the entire pixel cruise ship was shaken violently.

"What's going on? Is the boat going to sink?" Azhe staggered and almost fell.

"No, not a boat."

Zero, the girl who had been in charge of data monitoring beside the knight, spoke calmly.

Her eyes were fixed on a screen on her wrist. "It's the Murasakibara Sword. It's activated."

Her words stunned everyone.

Ame no Murakumo sword?

Wasn't that something they had already set up at the core of the "human circle" to be used as a detonation point?

Everyone hurried to the side of the ship and looked down.

They saw a huge sword shadow as big as a mountain falling straight down from under the pixel cruise ship they were on.

It penetrated through layers of pixel platforms, and each penetration triggered a series of violent chain explosions.

Those explosions are not meant to destroy the platform, but like thrusters,

It provides unparalleled acceleration for the fall of the Ame no Murakumo sword!

"So that's how it is..." Shan Ge muttered to himself,

"This ship, this platform, is itself part of the launch pad!"

"We have been...just standing at the muzzle of the gun?" Azhe's face turned even paler.

Ji Nian ignored the shock of his teammates, and his eyes didn't even linger on the falling giant sword for a second.

He just looked down at the sea below that was becoming turbulent due to the chain explosions.

There was no tension in his eyes, only an almost grim anticipation.

It’s like a gambler who has been waiting for a long time and finally waits for the moment when the cards are opened.

The sword Ama-no-Murakumo finally disappeared into the bottomless black sea without even a splash.

The world seemed to be muted at this moment.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

Just when Azhe couldn't help but want to ask "Did I fail?"

"BOOM!!!!!"

An indescribable explosion came from the deepest part of the ocean!

The sound was not through the air, but through the hull underfoot.

It penetrated through every person's bones and exploded directly into the depths of their souls!

The entire ocean boiled in an instant!

The black sea water rolled and roared violently,

Huge bubbles continuously gushed out like an underwater volcano erupting, turning the sea surface upside down.

Immediately afterwards, a crisp sound like a mirror shattering resounded throughout the space.

"Click——"

The screen on Zero's wrist instantly turned blood red, and a piercing alarm sounded.

"Report to the Captain! The core of the 'Human Circle',

The energy reaction of the Yata Mirror...disappeared! Its structure...completely collapsed!"

Following Zero's report, things began to fly out of the boiling ocean.

There were human-shaped shadows emitting soft white light, thousands and thousands, millions, tens of millions... and finally, hundreds of millions!

Countless souls swarmed out of the dark sea like birds that had escaped from their cages.

They converge into a brilliant river of light that spans the sky and earth, swirling upwards into the sky.

They are no longer those numb pixel people in the "human circle",

They returned to their original appearance, including old people, children, men and women.

There was no pain on their faces, only a sense of relief and liberation as if they had just woken up from a dream.

Shan Ge and Azhe were all stunned by the miraculous scene before their eyes.

Their brains completely lose the ability to think.

Destruction and rebirth, despair and hope, at this moment, intertwined to form the most shocking picture.

Commemorate the journey of hundreds of millions of souls to heaven,

The cold smile on his face had long since disappeared, replaced by an indescribable calmness.

It was as if he was just watching an ordinary sunrise.

Just when everyone thought that these ghosts would fly into the sky and disappear completely, something strange happened again.

The river of light composed of hundreds of millions of dead souls suddenly changed direction when it was halfway up.

"They... they are coming!" Azhe shouted nervously.

The river of light drew a huge arc in the air and flew towards the pixel cruise ship.

They did not attack, nor did they approach, but simply quietly surrounded the ship, circling it in circles.

Every "face" of light and shadow is facing the memorial on the ship.

They didn't make any sound, but everyone felt an extremely clear emotion.

"What are you doing?" Shan Ge was puzzled.

"Aren't they leaving?"

“This is a thank you.”

Ji Nian finally spoke, with a barely perceptible hint of fatigue in his voice.

"We destroyed the mirror that imprisoned them and gave them true freedom."

"This is their final response to redemption."

"Redemption..." Azhe chewed on the word with a complicated look in his eyes.

At this moment, the knight who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke with an electronic voice without any emotion.

"Thank you." He tilted his head, as if processing a procedure beyond his understanding.

"This behavioral instruction has not been recorded in the database."

"What strategic value does it have, or in other words, can it bring any actual physical benefits?"

His question stunned everyone present.

Ji Nian turned his head, looked at this partner made up of data and logic, and shook his head.

"For you, no."

“For them, this is what it’s all about.”

The dead souls seemed to have completed their ritual, and the river of light began to rise slowly again.

Finally, it turned into stars in the sky and completely merged into the crack in the sky torn by the Huojin Sword, and disappeared.

Everything around returned to dead silence again.

But this silence did not last long.

The pixel cruise ship under his feet suddenly began to shake violently, a hundred times more violently than when the Ame Murakumo sword fell.

"not good!"

Zero's voice was full of haste,

"Captain! After the complete collapse of the 'Human Circle', the energy balance of this temporary space has also been disrupted!"

"The water below... no, the energy readings of the entire space are soaring exponentially! This place is about to collapse!"

Shan Ge clutched the railing tightly and shouted, "This wreck of a boat can't hold on any longer! We're going to be thrown out!"

The black sea water rolled more violently, and a huge whirlpool formed around the ship, as if dragging everything into the endless abyss.

Ji Nian's expression remained unchanged. He only took one last look at the gradually collapsing sea.

Then he gave orders to everyone in an unquestionable tone.

"Well, the timing is just right."

"It's time for us to leave." The sea water went completely crazy.

"Boom--!"

The deafening roar no longer came from a certain direction.

Instead, it came from all directions, from every inch of the churning sea beneath our feet.

It was no longer ocean waves, but a pot of boiling soup, thick, dark, and emitting a disgusting fishy smell.

The blood had drained out of that face that always had a hint of cynicism.

"No, we have to go!" he roared. "This place is going to collapse!"

There was no need for him to remind them, Wu Hen and Lin Qiye had already locked their eyes on the pixel cruise ship.

The countless pixel blocks that make up the hull are frantically disintegrating and reorganizing, as if billions of ants are colliding inside it.

"Let's go, leave here now!" Wu Hen's voice was not loud, but it was like a needle, accurately piercing everyone's eardrum.

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge pixel cruise ship suddenly shrank inward with a teeth-grinding "click" sound!

It was no longer a ship, but in a matter of seconds,

It collapsed into a huge black sphere with countless pixel lights still flashing on its surface!

"Hurry!" Lin Qiye shouted softly, pulled up his teammates and retreated quickly.

The giant ball did not give them any chance to breathe. It just paused on the sea surface for 0.1 seconds.
