114: Chapter 114 Titan's Thunderous Destruction and the God of Corruption's Submission
Su Chen's will descended, and it was the judgment of the end.
"Hyperis, clear the field."
These four cold words, transmitted through the Soul link, became the final epitaph for this canyon.
Zzz—zzzz—
The ear-piercing crackle of electric current instantly drowned out every other sound between heaven and earth.
The hideous bio-plasma cannon array on the back of the Planetary-class Abyssal Thunder Beast - Titan, Hyperis, lit up one by one.
At first, only deep blue electric arcs danced on the muzzles, but the next instant, the light suddenly blazed, erupting into billions of dazzling plasma beams.
The entire canyon was completely swallowed by this extreme blue light.
The night was torn apart, the darkness was expelled, and in that moment, the world transformed into a pure, destructive daylight.
Then.
The apocalypse arrived.
This was no longer a precision strike requiring aiming; even tactical locking seemed superfluous.
This was an indiscriminate, area-of-effect bombardment that erased the entire coordinate grid from the map, regardless of friend or foe!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless thick pillars of thunder descended vertically from the firmament, so dense that there was not a single gap.
They were not individual attacks, but converged into a true waterfall of thunder, filling the entire narrow canyon with an unstoppable force.
The earth wailed, and the rocks melted.
In just one second, the terrain of the entire canyon turned into a boiling sea of death, churning with blue plasma.
"Ahhh—!"
The shrill screams lasted less than half a second before being completely drowned out by the even louder roar of electric currents, leaving not even an echo.
Those five hundred Shadow Golems, in which the Dark Alliance had placed high hopes and which were claimed to have strong physical resistance, had their Firmness bodies appear as fragile as paper in the face of this planetary-class violent voltage.
The energy cores inside the golems instantly overloaded, the rune arrays burned out within a hundredth of a second, and their heavy steel bodies were torn apart and melted by the terrifying electric currents, eventually turning into charred scrap metal flying across the sky in a series of violent chain explosions.
As for those three thousand mortal assassins?
They didn't even get to experience pain.
The ocean of thunder plasma swept through, and the extreme heat instantly vaporized their flesh and blood, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.
So-called elites.
So-called sneak attacks.
Under the crushing weight of absolute power, it was nothing more than a self-destructive joke.
One strike.
Total annihilation.
This was the true terror of the [Thunder Dominator] trait that Su Chen had personally implanted inside the Thunder Beast King.
It granted Hyperis a level of control over thunder elements that was nearly at the level of a Law.
This battle was less of a war and more of an efficient, cold resource recovery.
And its results far exceeded a mere military victory.
It completely broke the spine of the Dark Alliance in the most direct, bloody, and unquestionable way.
In the following half-year period.
Su Chen did not give any potential enemies in this Divine Domain a single shred of opportunity to catch their breath or watch from the sidelines.
With Kerrigan as the vanguard, and the Thunder Beast King Hyperis and the Bone Dragon as the two semi-Divine-Grade combat forces on the flanks.
A Zerg Swarm army, whose numbers grew larger and larger during the war, launched a ruthless sweep, just like a black Plague sweeping across the entire continent.
Like autumn winds sweeping away fallen leaves.
Wherever it passed, Divine Kingdoms collapsed and temples crumbled.
The various small pantheons and factions that had once occupied territories and were self-righteous had no third option under the blade of the Zerg Swarm: either submit or perish.
The Nine Shrines, the assassin organization that once attempted to covet Su Chen's divine throne, was the first to be completely erased from the list of the Divine Domain.
Starting with this, the originally loose yet vast Dark Alliance, after losing its sharpest dagger, began to disintegrate like an avalanche.
Half a year later.
In the southeast corner of the Divine Domain, there was a poisonous swamp wasteland that was filled with the aura of decay and death all year round.
This was the lair of the Nine Shrines' last god—the "God of Corruption."
At this moment, this god, who was once high and mighty before his believers and held the power of life and death over a region, was kneeling in the muddy swamp in a sorry state, his whole body trembling violently.
His divine robe had long been soaked with mud, his luxurious crown hung crookedly on his head, and there was not a trace of divine majesty on his face, only the most primitive fear of death.
Surrounding him was an endless Zerg Swarm army.
Hideous Zerglings, massive Thunder Beasts, and Mutalisks circling in the sky... they were densely packed, surrounding him so tightly that there was not even a gap to escape.
In the compound eyes of every Zerg, a cold and bloodthirsty red light flickered.
As long as the supreme Dominator, who sat at the pinnacle of the Divine Domain, descended a single thought.
He would be torn into pieces in an instant, becoming fodder for these monsters, suffering the same fate as his long-fallen companions.
"Spare... spare me! Great, supreme Zerg Overlord!"
The God of Corruption (formerly the God of Vegetation) slammed his forehead into the mud, letting out a hoarse plea.
"I am useful! I am really still useful! I am willing to offer everything I have, I am willing to offer my natal divine artifact, just beg you to spare my life! I am willing to be a dog before your temple, the humblest watchdog!"
In order to survive, he gave up the last bit of his dignity as a god.
With trembling hands, he produced an object from his Divine Kingdom space.
It was a mass of flesh the size of a human head, dark green in color, and constantly contracting and writhing.
Its surface was covered with strange folds and holes, emitting a thick scent mixed with soil and rotting plants.
Su Chen's will crossed the vast distance and descended silently over the swamp.
His Divine Thought swept over the extremely uncomfortable mass of flesh.
[Item: Symbiotic Fungal Mother Body]
[Tier: Rank 7]
[Trait: Capable of devouring all organic matter and rapidly decomposing and converting it into humus rich in high-concentration psionic energy and nutrients. This humus can significantly accelerate the growth, mutation, and expansion of specific plants and fungal organisms.]
Originally, there was only cold killing intent in Su Chen's will.
For such trash who took the initiative to provoke and then groveled for mercy, direct eradication, turning his divinity and divine portfolio into nutrients for the Zerg Swarm, was the most efficient way to deal with it.
But when the System fully analyzed and presented the gene sequence and traits of this fungus in his consciousness.
Su Chen's Divine Thought, vast as the Universe, showed a trace of extremely subtle fluctuation.
Can convert to humus?
Accelerate growth and expansion?
Isn't this... the natural, most perfect prototype substrate for "Psionic Creep"?!
The biting killing intent that shrouded the entire swamp slowly receded.
Su Chen's cold and indifferent will refocused on the God of Corruption who was kowtowing at his feet.
"Since you want to be a dog, then be a useful one."
A voice devoid of any emotion rang out in the depths of the God of Corruption's Soul.
"Surrender your divinity and hand over your divine portfolio. I can spare your life and grant you brand new power, making you the exclusive gardener of my Zerg Swarm."
The God of Corruption felt as if he had returned from Hell to Heaven, and ecstasy instantly overwhelmed him.
"I will! I will! I am willing to do anything!"
He unhesitatingly released all control over his divinity and divine portfolio, allowing a supreme power to descend and strip them from the Origin of his Soul.
Su Chen did not break his word.
He did not kill him—at least, not yet.
But at the moment of stripping the divinity, a wisp of psionic energy he flicked out precisely blasted into the core of the God of Corruption's Soul.
There was no screaming, no struggling.
The fear, ecstasy, and sycophancy in the eyes of the God of Corruption instantly solidified, then quickly dissipated, eventually turning into complete emptiness and numbness.
All of his consciousness, memories, emotions, and personality were completely erased by this strike.
Leaving only a perfect Puppet tool that could execute the most basic instructions.
"For traitors, death is a merciful release. Eternal servitude is the destination you deserve."
Su Chen's will coldly declared.
The next second, his Divine Thought had completely shifted to the "Symbiotic Fungal Mother Body" that had been stripped out.
In the depths of his consciousness, countless gene sequences were rapidly analyzed, reorganized, and deduced.
A will mixed with extreme calmness and the desire to create burned within his Divine Soul.
With this thing, the most core, basic, and important logistics and expansion building in the Zerg System—[Psionic Creep]—finally became possible to lay!
