Godslayer: The different abilities represented by the twelve two-hour periods of the day

On the moon, Seraphim Michael sat in the center of a vast lunar crater, his eyes gleaming with golden light. His gaze pierced through the clouds of Earth, observing the alien deity above Cangnan City—a giant clock. He sensed no evil or chaotic aura emanating from it, and then withdrew his gaze, no longer paying attention.

Outside the campus, Leng Xuan, who had completed the task and set up the [No-Rules Airspace], was sneezing incessantly.

He rubbed his nose, looked up at the sky, and muttered to himself, "Old Zhao must have seen that I turned his [No-Rules Airspace] green and is cursing me..."

"Holy crap, what is that?" Leng Xuan stared at the huge clock phantom that suddenly appeared in the sky, feeling the clock exuding an aura of vicissitude and antiquity.

"How could a god appear here!" Considering that they were currently clearing out the snake demons in the school, the sudden appearance of a god above the school must mean that something major had happened.

After figuring this out, Leng Xuan broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly pressed his earpiece to connect to the captain, "Captain, did you guys see the giant clock above the school?"

At this moment, outside the school gate, next to the black van.

Squad leader Chen Muyi and deputy leader Wu Xiangnan looked at the huge clock in the sky above the school and sensed the aura of a deity. Their eyes were solemn. "We see it. That is a deity. At this stage, it doesn't seem to have any ill intentions."

Wu Xiangnan continued, picking up where Captain Chen Muyi left off, "When it appeared, we investigated Cangnan City and found nothing unusual, except for the school..."

Everyone now understood that the appearance of this deity was related to the changes at the school. The team leader contacted the team members inside the school through his headset, "Hongying, Xiaonan, Qiye, has something happened to you inside?"

At this moment, Lin Qiye, Hongying, and Si Xiaonan had just finished dealing with the snake demon in their dormitory when they heard an anxious voice coming through their earpiece, leaving them full of questions.

"Qiye and Xiaonan are with me. These mythical creatures possess considerable intelligence. We just discovered that their suspected true forms are moving towards the library."

"Qiye, Xiaonan, have you found anything else?" Hongying frowned slightly as she asked Lin Qiye and Si Xiaonan beside her.

Both of them shook their heads, indicating that they had not found anything else besides these.

Upon learning this, Hongying quickly pressed her earpiece and asked Chen Muyi, "Captain, has something happened outside the school?"

Chen Muyi pondered for a moment and then said, "Not long after Leng Xuan set up the [No-Rule Void], a deity resembling a medieval mechanical clock appeared in the sky above the campus."

After inspecting all areas of Cangnan City except for the school, we found no abnormalities. Since He appeared right above the school, we concluded that His appearance was directly related to the school.

We suspect that His agents may be operating within the school.

When Hong Yinglin and Qi Ye learned of what had happened outside the school and their captain Chen Muye's analysis, they all gasped in shock. Three pairs of eyes met, their hearts filled with unease.

"We understand, but we can't stop now. If we don't eliminate the snake demon, Cangnan City will never have peace. We'll be even more careful from now on." Hongying gripped her spear tightly, climbed to the edge of the balcony, and shouted to Lin Qiye:

"Seven Nights, you go protect the students, I'll go after it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped off and disappeared from the balcony.

......

Outside the school gate, next to a black van.

As Chen Muyi finished his call with Hongying and the others, he looked up and saw the once clearly visible divine figure in the sky gradually becoming blurry and slowly disappearing, as if it had merged into the sky.

“He’s gone…” Chen Muye muttered to himself, picked up his phone and dialed a number, “Squad 136 reports, the god has left Cangnan City, and told that the human ceiling doesn’t need to come.”

"Received." came the reply from the other end of the phone.

At this moment, the Night Watch headquarters was frantically searching for information about the deity that had appeared in the sky above Cangnan City.

"Have you found out which mythological system He belongs to?" asked the person next to Shao Pingge.

Looking at the compiled data, a staff member said helplessly, "No, so there's no record of a clock god in the mythological system."

"...It seems that today, humanity will add another deity to its observed pantheon. And currently, the only one not within the mythological system."

......

Meanwhile, it is still 100 kilometers away from Cangnan City.

An old horse-drawn carriage is traveling smoothly on the Yangtze River, moving forward with the current at an astonishing speed.

"Master, the commander said the deity that appeared in Cangnan City has left, and we don't need to go there anymore," the boy in front of the carriage said to the carriage after finishing his phone call.

After a moment of silence, an aged voice slowly drifted from inside the carriage:

"That place, Cangnan, is getting more and more bizarre. A god who doesn't exist in any mythological system has actually appeared there."

"Master, shall we continue on, or turn back?"

"As for Cangnan, that eerie place, it's best to avoid it if possible."

"Alright!" The boy flicked the reins. "Giddy up!"

The chestnut-red, thin horse abruptly changed direction, drifting on the Yangtze River with the carts on its back, and headed upstream against the current...

.....

Cangnan No. 2 Middle School, next to the school gate.

Because Lin Shi used the First Bullet to accelerate himself, to outsiders, as lightning-fast figures accompanied by dense gunfire, the heads of the monsters around him exploded, accompanied by splattering blood and the sound of bullets piercing the air, the fear of the surrounding students reached its peak.

Students who ran to the school gate were blocked by an invisible barrier. If this was not stopped, even without the monster killing them, the resulting stampede would likely claim many lives.

"Quiet! Quiet!" Lin Shi said, while simultaneously pulling the trigger and firing several shots into the air.

As gunshots echoed across the campus once more, the frenzied students gradually calmed down.

Lin Shi held the gun, aimed it at the statue-like student, and raised his chin expressionlessly.

"I told you, all of you, be quiet!"

I can't tell if there are any monsters among you, so stand still and don't crowd.

If anyone makes any unusual moves, I'll treat you like a monster and shoot you a few times.

The students stared at the dark muzzle of the gun and briefly calmed down.

"Who are you? Why do you have a gun?"

“I know him. His name is Lin Shi, and he’s not a policeman at all!”

"..."

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the students started making noise again, crowding towards Lin Shi, their voices echoing throughout the school gate.

Two snake demons, hidden among the crowd, with vertical pupils and bent fingers, walked step by step toward Lin Shi.

Lin Shi frowned slightly. Although he didn't want to kill people indiscriminately, the most important thing now was to deter them, otherwise they would be ambushed by the monsters hidden among them.

With two loud bangs, Lin Shi looked at the two people at the front and fired a shot into their thighs. "Don't go any further. Line up at the school gate, or next time it'll be your head."

Lin Shi fired his gun, and coincidentally, the bullet hit the snake demon who was trying to launch a sneak attack in the leg.

At this moment, the snake demon, who had been shot in the leg, still had a human body, and unconsciously knelt down in front of Lin Shi, staring at each other with blank eyes.

Then they looked down at their claws... no, their hands. They hadn't revealed their true forms yet, and looked at Lin Shi in confusion. "Didn't you say you couldn't distinguish us? Why are you only attacking us now?"

Feeling deceived, the snake demon burst forth and lunged at Lin Shi.

The students, who were intently watching the scene in front of them, also noticed the snake demon bursting out of its body. Then, several gunshots rang out, and the two snake demons fell into pools of blood.

The students quieted down again and lined up in a queue.

Lin Shi stood not far from the line, keeping a close watch on the students while also helping to kill the snake demons behind the students who were being chased, and pointing his gun at them to help them line up.
