674: Shuangyou Transforms into a Soul Tour

In the Hall of Heroes, Qin Yang pointed at a black longsword stuck in the golden gate's lock, smiling as he spoke to the three Heroes.

However, his smile contained a rolling killing intent.

That's right.

That black longsword was precisely the one Akatosh, the Dragon God of Time and Space, had gifted to Lin Xuan.

Qin Yang, with a 'just to try' mentality, reached out to touch the longsword, wanting to pull it out.

Unexpectedly, the longsword seemed like a projection; Qin Yang's hand passed directly through the hilt, unable to touch it at all.

But, at the moment his hand passed through the hilt, Qin Yang perceived two familiar sensations: Akatosh's Divine Authority of Time and Space, and Lin Xuan's professional power as the Heaven-Opening Sword Immortal.

In other words,

this longsword did not exist in projection form; it was simply that for some reason, Qin Yang couldn't touch it, which is why he asked the three Heroes.

However, the three Heroes looked at each other, remaining silent.

Facing Qin Yang, the invader, they knew they were no match, but they also didn't want to betray their gods so easily.

After all, the power, wealth, and knowledge they now possessed were all bestowed by their gods.

“Are you still holding onto a sliver of hope?”

Qin Yang frowned and said, “I'll count to three, then randomly pick a lucky audience member to crush. You all manage your time well.”

Immediately, he began to count.

“One.”

“Two.”

When he counted to two, the Heroes remained unmoved.

They had divine protection; even if they died, they could be revived.

However, Sanada Yu's harem was different; they were just slightly stronger adventurers, not like Heroes who could cheat death.

Mōri Gen and Uesugi Haru both looked at Sanada Yu, shaking their heads slightly, signaling him not to betray the gods.

At this moment, Sanada Yu was also caught in a difficult choice.

He seemed to be contemplating whether to abandon his gods for the sake of his harem.

But Qin Yang didn't give him time to think.

Without even counting to three, he reached out his hand towards an elven woman, a archer, in front of Sanada Yu, then clenched his hand in the Void Realm.

Poof!

Blood mist and internal organs scattered.

The tall, lovely elven girl, before she could even scream, was crushed into a pulp by the invisible Hand of Imperial Authority, just like the Cat-eared girl before her.

“Ashien!!!”

“Ahhh!!!”

“Damn it!!!”

“Didn't you say you'd count to three???”

With the third harem member brutally killed, Sanada Yu was on the verge of collapse.

His eyes were bloodshot, and tears streamed down his face as he roared at Qin Yang, yet he dared not make any move, not even stepping forward to shield his remaining harem members.

“You don't even have the courage to take a step forward; what a coward.”

Qin Yang shook his head mockingly and said to the four remaining harem members behind him, “Following such a person, you are truly unlucky. You've wasted such beautiful appearances; you must open your eyes in your next life.”

Hearing Qin Yang's words, the terrified girls all snapped out of their daze.

They all turned to look at their “master” or “lover,” their eyes filled with disappointment.

What kind of Hero... just a cheater who only plays when things are going well.

Now, facing a stronger opponent, not only did he lack the courage to stand up, but he also hid behind others.

Does such a person deserve the title of Hero?

“Hey, what do those looks mean? Do you want me to betray the gods?”

Seeing the girls' gazes, Sanada Yu still wanted to argue.

Qin Yang, however, said, “I will continue to count. Every time I count to three, I will kill one person. If none of you speak, then I will kill you all.

As soon as these words were spoken, the girls, already disappointed in the Hero, panicked even more. One human girl cried out in alarm, “No! I know what's going on! I'll tell you!”

“What?”

Hearing that the human girl knew the secret of the Demon Sword, Mōri Gen and Uesugi Haru were both stunned.

This was a secret of the gods; how could an adventurer know?

Thinking of this, the two simultaneously looked at Sanada Yu, and from his guilty eyes, they guessed the truth.

This guy, just to flirt, had spilled these divine secrets!!!

“Silence!”

Just as the human girl was about to speak, Uesugi Haru, wielding a longsword, went straight for her throat.

At this moment, the Golden Armored Giant, who had just slain the centaur warrior, suddenly appeared before the human girl.

Blocking, parrying, counterattacking.

With a loud bang, the strongest female Hero, known as the “Echo of the Sword,” was diagonally slashed by the long blade. Her body, trailing a spiral of blood, flew out and, after crashing into three pillars, directly embedded itself into the wall, her fate unknown.

The human girl's pupils constricted. She stared blankly at the Golden Armored Giant protecting her in front.

If it weren't for the blood and flesh of her elven sister under his feet, she would have almost felt a sense of security.

And Mōri Gen and Sanada Yu, seeing this scene, dared not make any rash moves.

Uesugi Haru's combat power was the highest among the three of them.

If even she was easily defeated, what chance did the two of them have?

Moreover, this Golden Armored Guard was merely Qin Yang's summon!

A summon could easily defeat a Peak Transcendent Hero; Qin Yang's strength might be more than just Demigod-tier.

It might even be True God-tier, above Demigods!

That would be a True God!

For people like them, even cheating couldn't compensate for that!

“Damn it, what happened to the good old orthodox Japanese RPG? Why did it suddenly turn into a Souls-like game?”

The Heroes, accustomed to easy victories, felt it hard to breathe.

They felt that this otherworld Hero game was no longer playable... And at this moment, the human girl also recovered her senses.

Under the protection of the Golden Armored Guard, she fearlessly revealed the secret of the “Demon Sword” to Qin Yang.

It turned out that the reason this black-grade longsword was Sealed was not because Lin Xuan forcefully entered the world and disrupted the Law.

The true reason was that the gods of the Heroic Divine Realm needed this sword.

Lin Xuan's black-grade longsword contained the Divine Authority of Time and Space, which did not exist in the Hero world.

With this Divine Authority of Time and Space, the gods could create a gate that completely isolated worlds, thoroughly separating the hundredth-floor world from the worlds below the ninety-ninth floor.

The purpose of their doing so

was to protect the spoils of victory in the faction War.

The Heroic Divine Realm would initiate faction Wars periodically.

Only the victorious gods could enter the hundredth-floor Pantheon and become World Gods.

The defeated, like the Goddess of Stars Enya, would either fall, or, like the Dark Prince, would have their strength greatly diminished, becoming a ghost.

But the faction War would not end; the defeated gods could still make a comeback and launch a faction War.

This led to the so-called Pantheon being merely a rotating main seat; anyone with ability could sit on it.

Today it's you, tomorrow it might be me.

Therefore, the gods who won the previous faction War devised a plan to completely isolate the Pantheon, preventing the losers from returning to the divine seats.

And Akatosh's Divine Authority of Time and Space could precisely achieve this.

This also explained why Qin Yang couldn't touch Lin Xuan's sword.

Because they weren't even in the same space.

Of course, breaking the deadlock was also very simple.

The Divine Authority of Time and Space was originally an imported product; this thing would disrupt the Law of the Hero world.

As long as multiple gods rectified the Divine Authority of Time and Space, this spatial barrier could be broken.

But gods could not make fundamental changes to the worlds below the ninety-ninth floor.

This is why the Radiant Goddess and the Dark Prince wanted to create a Hero who bore three Divine Authorities to remove this “Demon Sword” from the gate.

“By the way, isn't the Radiant Goddess a True God of the world? Why would she act like such a traitor?”

Qin Yang murmured in his heart, feeling that this Radiant Goddess was not simple.

Just as he thought of this, a voice suddenly sounded from the longsword.

“Qin Yang?”

“Is that Qin Yang?”
