147: Chapter 147 The Descent of the Titans and the Harvest of Godhood

Su Chen's cold pronouncement was like a heavy hammer smashing against eternal ice; before the echoes had even faded, true destruction descended.

It did not act upon matter, but struck directly at the level of Laws.

The connection between the twenty Demon Demigods supporting the [Dimensional Banishment Array] and the array's core was forcibly "erased" by that pure black beam in an incomprehensible manner.

It was as if a segment of code had been deleted from its very source.

Raging energy lost its guidance, and surging spatial turbulence lost its restraint. This terrifying power, sufficient to tear apart a small world, lost its target and followed the invisible magical links to surge back fiercely toward their source!

"Pfft—!"

An extremely dull explosion erupted not from one throat, but from twenty throats simultaneously.

The Ram-headed Demon Demigod bore the brunt of it; his massive body jolted violently as his chest collapsed without warning. A mouthful of black blood, mixed with divine radiance and the scent of decay, sprayed out like a high-pressure water gun, corroding a sizzling deep pit into the ground in front of him.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft! Pfft!"

A chain reaction occurred.

One after another, the Demon Demigods' bodies trembled violently as they all spat out black divine blood. In that instant, their auras withered rapidly, like punctured balloons.

This was no ordinary injury.

The spatial shock caused by the array's shattering was a backlash of Law that acted directly upon the Origin of their godhood.

"Crack... Crackle..."

Several Demon Demigods with weaker Foundations could even clearly "hear" the godhood representing their demigod status deep within their Souls making overwhelmed cracking sounds. Fine cracks began to spread across their godhood.

That was the collapse of divine status! The severing of their Dao path!

In this ten-thousandth of a second of paralysis and pain, a figure stepped out, penetrating the biological shell of the leviathan mothership.

No hatch opened, and there were no energy fluctuations.

He simply walked out, the Void Realm beneath his feet as solid as firm ground.

Su Chen's gaze indifferently swept over all the weakened demons below.

What he intended to do was never just to break the stalemate.

It was to clear the field.

"Taking your life while you're down!"

The cold words echoed through the mental link, and Su Chen's body began to bloom with light of extreme brilliance.

"Thunder Titan—Heavenly Law Avatar!"

Rumble!

The entire sky above the Wall of Sighs completely transformed into a sea of purple-silver lightning at this moment!

Endless lightning did not strike down from the clouds but was born from nothingness, frantically gathering, entwining, compressing, and condensing.

A giant phantom of indescribable majesty rose from the ground behind Su Chen.

One hundred meters, five hundred meters, one thousand meters!

Its body was composed of the purest purple-silver divine lightning, with destructive arcs of electricity flowing over every inch of its "skin." Its face was identical to Su Chen's, only magnified thousands of times, filled with divine majesty and indifference.

Those eyes were no longer pupils but two scorching suns and moons. The left eye was like the sun, releasing light that could burn all things; the right eye was like the moon, entwined with world-ending lightning that could freeze time and space.

Just the appearance of this Thunder Avatar and the pressure it emitted made those already heavily injured Demon Demigods feel as if their Divine Souls were about to be crushed.

"Die!"

Su Chen's will was the will of the Thunder Titan.

He raised his hand.

A giant hand made entirely of lightning obscured the entire firmament. Its size made the Demon Demigods below look pathetically small.

That hand, carrying the absolute will to grind everything to dust, slowly slapped down.

The speed was not fast.

But it locked down space and blocked all paths of retreat. Beneath that giant hand, the concepts of time and space became blurred.

"No—!"

The five Demon Demigods at the very front had the most severe cracks in their godhood and the heaviest injuries. They watched helplessly as the lightning sky representing death pressed down, the extreme terror just surfacing on their faces not even having time to fully bloom.

There were no screams.

There was no resistance.

As the giant palm fell and made contact with their bodies, there was no loud sound of collision.

Only a "sizzle," like boiling oil being poured onto ice.

Five powerful Demon Demigods, along with their indestructible divine bodies and the Divine Power shields they took pride in, were slapped directly into the ground by that single palm.

No, not even a pulp of flesh remained.

Their physical existence was completely decomposed and evaporated from the atomic level by the violent Divine Power of lightning.

Divine bodies shattered.

Divine Souls were annihilated.

Only five dim, crack-covered pieces of godhood remained in place, quietly floating within the charred, giant palm print, proving they had once existed.

"Monster! He is a monster!"

"Counterattack! Everyone! Use your Divine Artifacts! Fight him to the death!"

The remaining fifteen Demon Demigods went completely mad. The shadow of death gripped their throats, and the instinct for survival overwhelmed all fear and reason.

A Minotaur Demon God holding a giant axe roared as he sprayed his divine blood onto the axe blade.

Buzz!

A giant sword burning with ghastly green demonic fire soared into the sky, its blade manifesting countless wailing Souls as it slashed toward the Thunder Titan's chest.

On the other side, a lich-form demigod held up a pale white skull that constantly emitted thick poisonous gas.

"Curse of Ten Thousand Souls!"

Two grey beams of light shot from the skull's eyes, piercing straight toward Su Chen's avatar.

All sorts of trump cards, secret techniques that burned divinity, and powerful Divine Artifacts that had been sealed for years were sacrificed desperately at this moment.

For a time, demonic light filled the sky and curses ran rampant.

However, before the absolute strength of an Eighth Cycle Golden Demigod, all this struggling appeared so pale and laughable.

Su Chen's will did not waver in the slightest.

"Triple Lightning Divine Power—Divine Punishment!"

The Thunder Titan he had transformed into made a grasping motion.

The entire sea of lightning responded to his call, as infinite lightning gathered in his palm, condensing into a terrifyingly thick lightning spear.

That was no simple aggregation of energy.

At the spear's tip, three different qualities of lightning Divine Power were spiraling and intertwining in a profound manner, emitting an aura that judged all things and ended everything.

Crack!

Su Chen flicked his wrist, and the lightning spear swept across with the force of a thousand armies, drawing a purple-silver arc that pierced through heaven and earth.

Boom!

The giant sword burning with demonic fire was instantly purified of its wailing Souls upon contact with the lightning spear; the entire sword snapped in the middle, exploding into countless fragments.

Before the purification power of the Divine Punishment of lightning, those two grey curse beams vanished into nothingness without even raising a ripple.

Wherever the lightning spear passed, Divine Artifacts shattered and demonic bodies turned to ash.

A Shadow Demon attempting to teleport away was yanked out of sub-space by the overbearing lightning just as it entered the Void Realm, turning into a pile of fly ash amidst a shrill scream.

A defensive demigod holding up a tortoise-shell Divine Artifact was pierced through along with his shield by the spear and pinned to the earth.

From start to finish, the battle lasted only ten minutes.

For a battle at the demigod level, this was appallingly short.

This wasn't a battle at all.

It was a complete, one-sided slaughter.

When the wails of the last Demon Demigod finally vanished, Su Chen slowly withdrew his avatar.

The thousand-meter-tall Thunder Titan transformed into billions of purple-silver light particles, flowing back into Su Chen's body like tired birds returning to the forest.

He regained his original human form, with black hair and black eyes, walking calmly across the scarred ruins.

Behind him, tens of thousands of Drones swarmed out from the mothership. Their movements were swift and efficient, like the most professional scavengers, using acid and claws to decompose the severed limbs of the Demon Demigods and collect every drop of energy-laden divine blood.

The battlefield was cleaned spotless.

Su Chen walked to the center of the battlefield and reached out his hand in a beckoning motion.

Buzz—

The twenty pieces of godhood scattered about emitted a series of hums, turning into twenty streaks of light that flew into his hand.

[Obtained: Chaos Godhood x12]

[Obtained: Curse Godhood x8]

[Divine Power Plunder: 1500 strands]

Su Chen toyed with these pieces of godhood that emitted chaotic and evil auras, clearly feeling the mottled and impure Divine Power Origin within them.

"Though the quality varies, the quantity is high."

A thought flashed through his mind.

Devour them directly?

No. The godhood of these abyss demons was filled with fragments of chaotic and mad will. Forcibly absorbing them would only contaminate his painstakingly tempered divine Foundation; the loss would outweigh the gain.

His gaze moved past these pieces of godhood toward a special unit within the Zerg Swarm sequence.

The [Infection Bugss], which were bloated in body and ugly in appearance, responsible for spreading viruses and controlling enemy units.

"Neural control requires strong Mental Energy as support."

A perfect plan formed in Su Chen's mind.

He was going to perform a bold and luxurious experiment.

"Fusion!"

Su Chen issued the command.

Under his will, the twenty pieces of godhood floating above his palm were suddenly clenched by an invisible force!

Crack!

Twenty pieces of demigod godhood, enough to drive countless low-level deities mad, were crushed into powder by him like glass beads!

Pure mental Origin, free of any Impurities, was forcibly extracted from these fragments, turning into a multicolored torrent of Mental Energy.

He flicked his finger.

This torrent shot accurately toward the leader of the Infection Bugs unit.

Roar—!

A roar that did not sound like it could come from an insect, filled with wisdom and pain, rang out.

The originally bloated and disgusting Infection Bugs underwent a drastic change the moment it touched the Mental Energy torrent. Its slimy skin began to rapidly harden and crystallize, taking on a magnificent amethyst hue.

Its disproportionately large head began to swell frantically, becoming massive and transparent.

Through that crystallized skull, one could even clearly see that it no longer contained turbid brain matter, but was flowing with materialized Mental Energy like a nebula storm!

[Ding! Unit Evolution!]

[New Unit: Neural Parasite Dominator (Demigod Level)]

[Ability]: Can forcibly parasitize and control demigod-level units permanently (specific effect depends on the Mental Energy gap between both parties).

A powerful mental wave emanated from that brand-new unit, conveying absolute loyalty to Su Chen.

"Excellent."

A cold arc curled at the corner of Su Chen's mouth.

"In the future, capturing prisoners will be much more convenient."
