Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

Om-!

A blinding bolt of lightning collided violently with dark, malevolent energy in the air, unleashing a deafening roar.

Intense energy fluctuations spread outwards like a tide. The surrounding walls, unable to withstand the impact of this force, cracked and crumbled, bricks and stones fell, and dust rose everywhere.

However, Ji Lan paid no heed to any of that. His jealousy and resentment had driven him completely mad, and he could only see Chen Shu.

His attacks became increasingly fierce, the straight blade in his hand carrying a strong murderous aura, each swing bringing destructive power.

boom--!

Chen Shu punched the straight blade in Pian Jilan's hand, the blade grazing his shoulder and instantly corroding a large section of the wall with its murderous aura. The wall rapidly crumbled under the corrosive power of the aura, turning into dust.

Seeing that Ji Lan completely disregarded the consequences of the entire prison building collapsing, Chen Shu felt a surge of anger.

He knew that if things continued like this, not only would he be in danger, but the entire building would also collapse completely, potentially affecting the outside world.

"Since you insist on courting death, then I will grant your wish!" Chen Shu roared, his eyes flashing with blinding lightning.

The golden lightning around him exploded like a nuclear bomb, and the rampant lightning devoured the entire building like a giant beast.

Golden lightning danced across the building's surface, causing the walls to crack inch by inch, and the reinforced concrete to turn to dust under the ravages of the lightning.

With the blessing of the "Thunder Law", Chen Shu's strength is now vastly different from what it used to be.

Ji Lan was repelled by the powerful divine lightning, and the baleful aura around him began to flicker under the impact of the thunder, like a candle in the wind. His face turned pale, but his eyes were still filled with resentment and madness.

"Chen Shu! What right do you have to possess all of this?!" Ji Lan roared, her voice filled with endless resentment.

Chen Shu didn't answer, only stared coldly at him. The next second, he suddenly clasped his hands together, and the lightning around him instantly condensed into a huge pillar of lightning, shooting straight towards Ji Lan.

boom--!

The lightning bolts collided with the malevolent energy once more, erupting in a dazzling display of light. The entire building finally succumbed to the impact of this force and collapsed with a deafening roar!

outside world.

The entrance to Sunshine Mental Hospital.

Several believers from the Ancient God Church were standing next to Wu Laogou, who was in the Darkest Ruins state, when they suddenly sensed energy fluctuations coming from afar, and their expressions changed drastically.

"What... kind of power is this?" a believer murmured, his eyes filled with shock.

At the entrance to the fasting facility, the prisoners and guards who were engaged in a fierce battle were also stunned by this force and stopped what they were doing.

Lin Qiye, Wang Lu, and Fang Yanghui looked up at the prison area, a hint of solemnity flashing in their eyes.

"Something's happened to Chen Shu!" Wang Lu said in a low voice, his tone tinged with worry.

Lin Qiye stared intently in the direction of the prison cell, his brows furrowed. He was most familiar with this power, "Divine Might..."

High in the sky, the newly arrived [medium] team was also shocked by this energy fluctuation.

Bu Li looked down and said in a deep voice, "Go to the prison area immediately and find out the situation!"

However, before they could act, the prison area in the distance had completely collapsed.

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, and golden lightning roamed freely among the ruins, like roaring dragons.

Chen Shu stood in the center of the ruins, surrounded by golden lightning, like a war god.

His gaze swept coldly across the surroundings...

A look of surprise appeared on his face...

"...Disappeared?"

……

Outside the fasting place, the sea wind howled, and the waves crashed against the rocks on the shore with a dull thud.

The second seat was dressed in tattered clothes and covered in charred wounds, as if he had just escaped from a raging fire.

His face was terribly grim, and his eyes flashed with suppressed rage. He supported Ji Lan with one hand, while his other hand trembled slightly, clearly indicating that the battle had taken a heavy toll on him.

Ji Lan's condition was even worse. His body was a mix of black and normal, as if he had been struck by lightning and shattered into pieces, making it extremely difficult for him to even maintain his [Transformation] ability.

His breathing was weak, his face was as pale as paper, and he could barely stand up with the support of the second seat.

"Damn it!" the second seatman suddenly roared, slamming his fist hard against the nearby reef.

boom--!

The reef shattered like plastic under his fist, sending fragments flying that splashed into the sea.

His fist trembled slightly, and blood seeped from his knuckles, but he seemed not to feel the pain. He just stared intently at the fasting place in the distance, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.

This operation was originally planned flawlessly, but no one expected it to end so tragically.

Wu Laogou wasn't killed, but apart from him and Ji Lan, all the other believers perished here. Such a loss would be unbearable even for the Church of the Ancient Gods.

“Damn Chen Shu…damn Night Watchmen…” the Second Seat muttered through gritted teeth, his fists clenching even tighter.

However, he knew this was not the time to vent. They were still in enemy territory and could be discovered by the Night's Watch at any moment. They had to leave as soon as possible, or the consequences would be dire.

He turned to look at Ji Lan, his voice low and urgent: "Can we still walk? We must leave here quickly."

Ji Lan barely managed to lift his head, a flicker of pain and weakness in his eyes. His voice was so hoarse it was almost inaudible: "Let's...let's go."

The second seat holder nodded without saying anything more. He quickly raised his hand, his fingertips tracing a line in the air, and a dark spatial rift slowly unfolded before them, emanating a chilling aura.

"Hold on tight," the second seatman whispered, reaching out to support Ji Lan's shoulder.

Ji Lan barely managed to stand and nodded. The two stepped into the spatial rift together, their figures instantly disappearing from the spot.

The moment they left, seven figures in black cloaks swept in from the direction of the fasting place in the distance.

The [medium] team arrived at the shore and cautiously scanned their surroundings, only to see broken rocks and faint energy fluctuations remaining in the air.

“We’re late…” a team member said in a low voice, his tone devoid of emotion.

……

Chen Shu stood atop the collapsed ruins, his gaze fixed on the location where Saul should have been imprisoned.

Thankfully, it wasn't damaged.

Amidst the dilapidated ruins, a corner of a building, gleaming with a cold light, came into Chen Shu's view.

After being illuminated by the light, Chen Shu was able to guess the material of the cell.

—Star Steel!

Chen Shu sighed inwardly; the Night Watchmen were truly willing to sacrifice so much.

"Chen Shu, are you alright?"

In the distance, Lin Qiye rushed over, his face filled with worry.

"It's alright, it's just a pity we didn't get rid of that 'rebellious son'."

Chen Shu waved his hand casually, a hint of regret appearing in his eyes.

"Who were you trying to kill?!"

Lin Qiye felt as if he had heard a fairy tale.

Chen Shu already has a son?!

He knew nothing about the Azure Dragon, and naturally, he didn't understand Chen Shu's meaning.
