105: The end of the gods! The final madness!

The moment the God stood up, a terrifying pressure, hundreds, even thousands of times stronger than before, swept across the entire battlefield like a world-destroying tsunami.

Thud!

Su Mo's legs suddenly went soft, and he uncontrollably fell to his knees.

His Willpower, tempered by countless battles and brushes with death, which should have been incomparably resilient, was fragile and vulnerable before this pure divine pressure.

“Damn it…” Su Mo struggled to raise his head, finally seeing the true appearance of the God.

It was a humanoid creature over a thousand meters tall, composed entirely of the purest dark energy.

It had no facial features; only a twisted dark vortex on its face.

Behind it, twelve pairs of energy wings, as deep as the night, slowly unfurled, eclipsing the entire sky.

In its hand, it held a massive black scythe forged from countless stellar remnants, entwined with the wails and grievances of billions of living beings.

It was Death!

It was the End!

“Ant, it is your honor to die by this God’s hand.”

The God’s voice was devoid of emotion as it slowly raised the black scythe in its hand, aiming it at Su Mo, who was kneeling on the ground, as tiny as a speck of dust.

An unprecedented sense of despair and powerlessness instantly enveloped Su Mo.

Run? There was no escape!

Resist? With what could he resist?

At this moment, he couldn't even stand, the disparity in their strength was so vast that he couldn't even muster a hint of resistance.

“Am I… going to die…” Su Mo looked at the death scythe, capable of cleaving stars, descending, his eyes becoming hollow.

His struggle and persistence over these nine days and nights seemed so ridiculous at this moment; in the end, wasn't he still going to die?

He remembered the innocent bunny girl still waiting for him in the elevator.

“Xiao Wu…”

He had promised her he would take her to eat more and better food; it seemed he would break his promise.

Su Mo also thought of the cold and stunning CEO who had always silently supported him.

“Shen Yufu…” He hadn't even had a chance to say a proper goodbye to her.

And Qin Lan, Lin Youyou… familiar faces flashed rapidly through his mind.

“I’m really unwilling…”

Su Mo gave a bitter smile. He still had so many things left undone, so many people he hadn't seen, just to die here… No! I cannot die!

Just as the death scythe was about to fall on his head, an unprecedented surge of frantic light erupted from Su Mo’s hollow eyes.

“Ah ah ah ah ah—!”

He let out a bestial, insane roar that was not human, and his kneeling legs trembled as he slowly stood up under the God's pressure.

“What kind of God are you! Want me to die? Not that easy!”

Su Mo’s eyes turned crimson, and the titan heart within him began to beat wildly, pure life force surging into his limbs and bones.

His already exhausted body was suddenly filled with strength again at this moment. Although this was just a final burst of energy, it was enough!

“Come on! Let’s hurt each other!”

Su Mo roared, without the slightest hesitation, and actively charged towards the death scythe descending from the sky.

He wanted to use his last life, his last madness, to defend his dignity as a “human.”

“Oh?” The God looked at the ant who dared to charge at it, and a hint of human-like surprise appeared on its dark vortex-like face.

“Interesting, truly an interesting ant.”

It wasn't angered by Su Mo's provocation; instead, it seemed to have found an amusing toy. The scythe in its hand even deliberately slowed down slightly, as if wanting to see what brilliant sparks this ant could ignite before its death.

“Demonic Dragon Transformation!!!”

Su Mo activated his final trump card again in mid-air.

Dark dragon scales, ferocious dragon horns, massive dragon wings—the terrifying half-human, half-dragon Demonic Dragon warrior descended once more.

Although this transformation appeared somewhat ethereal due to his depleted body, the indomitable fighting spirit emanating from him was more fervent than any previous time.

“Armament Haki - Ryuo! Open up, you hear me!!!”

Su Mo poured all his remaining strength, Willpower, and madness into the abyssal dragons judgement in his hand, then fiercely slashed towards the death scythe, capable of cleaving heaven and earth.

Boom—!!!

The tiny black demonic blade and the sky-shrouding death scythe crashed together.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no world-destroying energy shock; time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Crack.

A barely perceptible crisp shattering sound rang out. The legendary demonic blade, abyssal dragons judgement, that had accompanied Su Mo for many days, broke into pieces from the middle, turning into countless black light particles.

Immediately after, *Pfft!*

The death scythe tore through Su Mo’s body with overwhelming force, cleaving him and his indomitable soul into nothingness.

【Ding! You have died!】

【Do you wish to spend 5 million game coins to revive?】

The cold system prompt sounded again.

“Revive…” Su Mo’s consciousness subconsciously issued the final command in the endless darkness.

This was his last five million, and his last chance to revive; he had lost everything.

However, just as his figure was about to coalesce again, an even colder, more majestic, and unquestionable system prompt boomed across the entire ancient battlefield.

【Ding! The ten-day period has arrived! The trial has ended!】

【Calculating quest rewards…】

【Teleporting player ‘Su Mo’ out of the instance…】

The death scythe, which was about to strike again, suddenly halted in mid-air.

In the center of the battlefield, no, the God who was originally on the throne, showed emotions of “astonishment” and “fury” for the first time on its face, which was composed of a dark vortex.

“No—! Ant! Come back to this God!”

It let out an unwilling, furious roar, and its sky-covering giant hand suddenly reached out towards Su Mo's fading, ethereal figure, intending to keep this ant, who had repeatedly provoked its majesty, here forever.

However, its hand grasped at empty air.

Su Mo's figure transformed into a white light a second before it could be caught, completely disappearing from this ancient battlefield filled with death and despair, leaving only the enraged God in an impotent fury.

“This God… remembers you…”

A voice filled with endless resentment and killing intent echoed throughout the space for a long time.

After a familiar dizzying sensation.

When Su Mo regained consciousness, he found himself back in the pure white, boundless Gaia Space.

“I… I survived?”

Su Mo was a little bewildered. He looked at his hands, then touched his body—intact, without wounds or pain, only a deep fatigue from the depths of his soul.

Everything that had just happened felt like a long and vivid nightmare.

“Phew…” Su Mo let out a long breath and slumped onto the ground.

He really did survive that death-level quest!

Although the process was filled with humiliation, torment, and despair, although he died again and again, and although his last shred of dignity was trampled underfoot by that damn God, he still survived in the end!

“Hahaha…” Su Mo lay on the ground, looking at the pure white sky, and couldn't help but laugh.

As he laughed, two lines of hot tears streamed from the corners of his eyes.

It was the joy of surviving a catastrophe, and also the release of all the grievances and unwillingness accumulated over these ten days.

Just as he was emotionally agitated, a series of golden system prompts popped up frantically before him like a screen-filling message:

【Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully cleared the death-level job change quest — The Undead Monarch’s Trial!】

【Currently performing a comprehensive evaluation based on your performance in the trial…】

【Evaluating…】

【Evaluation complete!】

【Player ‘Su Mo’, your performance in the trial has been rated as: SSS-rank (Beyond Limits)!】

【The reasons for the evaluation are as follows:】

【1. Faced the God without fear, daring to actively challenge it! (Although he was beaten badly)】

【2. Displayed extraordinary resilience of Willpower and desire for survival in desperate situations! (Although he kept running away)】

【3. Accumulated over 99 deaths, chose to revive every time, never giving up! (Although it was forced)】

【4. Faced with the God's pressure, he ultimately overcame his inner fear and launched a final suicidal charge! (Although it was useless)】

【5. And most importantly… You killed a total of 1000 Servants of God in the trial, accumulating over 500 million game coins! Demonstrating unparalleled… “Greed” ability!】

Su Mo: “…”

He looked at the evaluation reasons, each filled with “plot holes,” and the corner of his eye twitched uncontrollably.

Is this damn system praising me or insulting me?

What does “although he was beaten badly” mean?

What does “although he kept running away” mean?

What does “although it was forced” mean?

And what the hell is “although it was useless”?!

That last move of mine, I gambled all my dignity as a man and charged forward, okay?!

And to you, it became “useless”?!

And that last point!

“Greed” ability?

Is that what you call “Greed”?

That was hard-earned money I painstakingly farmed, one slash at a time, relying on my God-tier talent, Lord of Greed, risking being flattened into meat paste by that damn God!

What does that have to do with “Greed”?!
