Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

The train screeched as it slowly changed direction on the tracks. The metallic clanging of gears echoed across the sea, like an ominous premonition.

When the outline of the Holy City reappeared on the horizon, everyone held their breath. The once glorious city was now shrouded in an eerie purple light. Under a cloudless sky, only a distorted purple vortex hovered above the Holy City, with a viscous mist hanging down from its center, connecting like an umbilical cord to the colossal statue in the city's center.

Within the clouds, countless crimson lightning bolts flickered. This appearance was not like that of a holy god, but more like that of some kind of evil god from the realm of storms.

"It's over?" Sofia touched her forehead with her hand. "Is Reef dead?"

“Highly likely. He was one of the main participants in the ritual, and it's unlikely he'll have a good end.” Su Li sighed. “I was originally planning to deal with the evil god and come back to help Reef... Oh well, it's just an illusion anyway, so it's pointless.”

Before the words were even finished, the entire sea suddenly fell into a deathly silence. Even the sound of the waves crashing disappeared, as if the whole world was holding its breath in anticipation.

Suddenly, the head of the sacred statue emitted a teeth-grinding "crack," slowly rotating 180 degrees. Its once benevolent face was now covered in spiderweb-like purplish-red lines, oozing a viscous liquid from the cracks. The corners of the statue's mouth twisted upwards eerily, revealing menacing fangs, making it resemble a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.

"Giggle!"

A crisp cracking sound came from the neck of the statue, and pieces of various sizes fell from the neck and into the sea, splashing up a spray of water.

Not only the neck, but as the head of the statue swayed from side to side, cracks gradually spread from the spine of the statue.

The entire back of the statue is covered with cracks, just like cracked porcelain.

Finally, the statue could no longer maintain its original appearance, and more fragments peeled off from it, falling off in large pieces and revealing the limbs inside.

The first thing that catches the eye is the crimson spine, much like a human spine. Numerous purple blood vessels pump and pulsate along the bright red bones, transporting blood. On each vertebra, a bone spur pierces the transparent skin, exposed and dripping purple blood.

Next, they saw the almost transparent skin and muscles. The translucent flesh allowed Su Li and the others to clearly see the internal organs and bones of this enormous monster.

"Ahhhh~~~~"

The statue opened its mouth and let out a roar that sounded like a human's.

His translucent muscles bulged, and muscles rose up on his skin.

"Smack!" "Smack smack smack!"

Just like breaking through a hard shell, the hard block behind the holy statue shattered on a large scale, breaking apart from the spine to both sides. The monster finally managed to pull its remaining limbs out of the holy statue with great effort.

Its remaining limbs were actually arms, which grew on both sides of its body. This monster looked like a centipede with its head replaced by a human head and its legs replaced by human arms.

Sun Keke squinted her eyes in disgust. "What a disgusting monster."

"You're caught in the uncanny valley, aren't you?" Su Li chuckled. "That's nothing. We haven't been to those eerie worlds yet. The monsters in those unified worlds are truly disgusting."

Sofia quickly covered his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense!"

The eerie world is not a good world. It is difficult to explore, and the items obtained are mostly geared towards supernatural professions, so their team doesn't have many useful items.

The enormous, spinal centipede was finally separated from the sacred statue.

Dozens of arms gripped the remains of the holy statue tightly, the giant centipede's body trembled, and then a wild laugh came from its mouth: "Hehehehe, hahahahaha."

"This is the power of the gods, this is the power of the God of War that I have painstakingly planned!"

With each word spoken, the blood vessels on its skin swell a little more.

"Wow, this feels amazing! Power is surging forth endlessly, and all sorts of combat techniques are constantly being innovated! Hahahaha, I am the God of Battle, the God of War!"

The waves rippled in a circular pattern as they impacted the sound, causing the train to shake violently. Suddenly, the monster used all its arms to prop itself up, its spine straightening vertebra by vertebra.

"Fallen God, you who only know how to indulge in depravity, what do you have to fight against me!"

"I will drag you down from your throne, devour you completely, and become the new god!!"

The monster, which had been perched on the statue of the god and fed on the worshippers, lowered its head, its worm-like compound eyes fixed on Su Li and his companions. "Let's start with you, outsiders."

Purple blood rained down like a storm, instantly boiling the sea. The distant Holy City began to crumble, its buildings twisting and dissolving in the purple light. Every arm on the monster's body began to mutate, its fingertips splitting open to reveal stark white eyeballs.

Su Li slowly drew her sword, its blade gleaming coldly in the purple light: "Prepare for battle, everyone. It seems we're about to rehearse a god-slaying ceremony."

The identification technique should be thrown out first.

[The Self-Proclaimed God - War God Centipede]

The battle was initiated by a beam of light released by the war god centipede.

Those were beams of light emitted from the eyeballs on the hands of the war god centipede.

The beam of light wasn't fast. Sun Lili slashed at the air, creating a spatial rift.

The beam of light shot into the crack and was released from another space, instead striking the arm of the War God Centipede.

After being struck, the arm of the War God Centipede was visibly decomposed into dust. Its life energy and magical energy were devoured and extracted, turning into specks of light that entered the body of the War God Centipede.

"Your vitality has increased. You've retained the power of your original gluttony, but can eating yourself really increase your strength?" Song Mingyu asked, puzzled.

“That’s how the code is written.” Sun Lili rolled her eyes. “Psychic abilities don’t need to be explained so clearly.”

"You need to experience that feeling, do you understand?"

Su Li cupped her hands to Sun Lili and said, "That's fine, that's very spiritual."
