40: Chapter 40 Surrender? Too late!

"How many times have I told you? If a problem can be solved with divine power points, then it is not a problem at all. When you can clearly solve things with divine power points, why do you always think about risking your lives?"

Lin Xiao scolded his two subordinates, feeling somewhat frustrated by their lack of ambition, as he tried to correct their "unhealthy" mindset.

If the divine power points are gone, can't we just wait for the next day's settlement?

"But, but this is..." Wang Tao's tone was a bit stuttering, despite everything. He knew his master had divine power points and was willing to spend them.

But surely not like this, right? It's 100,000 divine power points per shot! Does the opponent even lose 50,000 divine power points from this shot? Or 30,000, or maybe 10,000?

"There's nothing to 'but' about. Regardless, the opponent is a demigod. If we can crush them with a million divine power points, we're the ones making a huge profit. After all, in this world, the saddest thing is: the Divine Being is dead, but the divine power points haven't been spent."

After "correcting" his subordinates' mindset once more, Lin Xiao turned his head to look at the projection with a strange smile on his face.

"I admit that such an expensive Star Destruction Cannon really can't fire too many shots, but how many shots can your divine kingdom withstand? Let's see next whether your divine kingdom gives out first, or my divine power points give out first. Here comes the first shot!"

Being able to fire only 191 shots is indeed not that many. It's unclear if it could even kill a First-order Deity, but the opponent isn't a deity either.

Following Lin Xiao's words, the Star Destruction Cannon at the front of the star destroyer shone with a blinding white light once again.

Seeing this, Xu Mingjie nearly spat out another mouthful of blood.

Are you kidding me?! This is a Star Destruction Cannon that costs 100,000 divine power points per shot! Not 100,000 faith points!

All the buildings and Believers within one of his cities don't even add up to 50,000 divine power points. Is it necessary? Is it worth it? That's not how you play when you have money!

If you have money, damn it, throw it at me! If you had thrown 100,000 divine power points at me, would I have needed to come and intercept you? I could have even enshrined you!

Filled with resentment, heartache, unwillingness, and grievance, Xu Mingjie's voice even carried a hint of sobbing.

"Run~!"

Another mountain peak rose in front of the targeted city, and it was blasted into two segments at the waist just the same.

The massive city vanished instantly under this shot. All that remained in its place was a giant crater stretching for thousands of kilometers.

"I don't believe you can do it again! If you have the guts, fire another shot and let me see?!"

"Tsk, this is the first time I've heard such a request. Since you asked so sincerely, I will graciously satisfy you. Second shot."

Boom!~

Another city with a population of ten million was erased from the divine kingdom. Two such massive losses in a row caused Xu Mingjie to spit out another mouthful of blood involuntarily.

"I don't believe it! If you have the ability, do it again!"

"Hehe, alright. Third shot."

Another city with a population of ten million disappeared within the divine kingdom. For these two shots, Lin Xiao deliberately avoided the opponent's main city.

He just wanted to see where the limit of a demigod really was.

"If you have the guts..."

"Fourth shot."

Xu Mingjie: ...

Even though he was already a demigod, at this moment, Xu Mingjie felt like he was about to die. His eyes were filled with fear as he looked at the star destroyer floating in the sky.

He really couldn't understand, how could a Divine Being have so many divine power points? With so much money, couldn't you have just thrown it at me?

That's a full 400,000 divine power points; if you had just given me 100,000, damn it, today's situation wouldn't have ended in such a lose-lose scenario.

"You..."

"Fifth shot."

Pfft!~ Another mouthful of blood sprayed out. Wrinkles began to appear on the face of the originally heroic and extraordinary Xu Mingjie, and streaks of white hair began to spread on his head.

"Wait a second! I beg you, wait a second! Wuuuu wuuuu~"

Before, it was just a hint of sobbing, but now Xu Mingjie was truly crying, tears streaming down his face. This is too damn bullying to a demigod!

The previous times were one thing, but just now, he wanted to say "stop fighting." As a result, the other party only heard "You" and fired another shot at him.

Is there no law anymore! Is having money so amazing!

Watching the man streaming with tears and snot before them, Wang Tao and Su Xue couldn't help but twitch the corners of their eyes.

They found it hard to associate this man with the high-spirited, arrogant demigod from before.

Just looking at him like this, someone who didn't know better might soften their heart and throw a point or two of faith points to help him out.

"Ah? Is it 'wait a second'? I didn't notice, I got into a rhythm. Waiting, waiting, and then what?"

With a thud, Xu Mingjie knelt straight down in mid-air. His head knocked against the void, producing dull thumping sounds.

"My lord, I surrender! Please, don't fight anymore. I can be your Slave God; from now on, I will be your most loyal Slave God! There's really no need to waste so many divine power points on a Slave God like me. It's not worth it."

Five shots shattered his arrogant soul; My lord, you are my god!

Beaten into submission?

Looking at the strange demigod continuously kowtowing in the projection, Lin Xiao rubbed his chin for a moment and finally shook his head.

"What a pity. If this had been before things happened, I would have been very willing to accept a demigod, even before you pulled me into your divine kingdom and attacked, it could have been salvaged. But now? At this point, accepting you has no meaning anymore. Keep your eyes peeled in your next life... Sixth shot."

As the dazzling white light rose, this time Lin Xiao aimed at the opponent's main city. Mountain after mountain rose from the ground.

Tightly protecting the main city within, Xu Mingjie roared frantically.

"Why?! Why?! I was clearly willing to be your Slave God, what else do you want from me?! I am clearly the one who is most severely injured, and the one with the greatest losses. Why can't you just let me go once!"

Boom!~

Without any explanation, what answered Xu Mingjie was the energy cannon fired from the star destroyer.

"No!~"

As the opponent's main city was completely destroyed, Xu Mingjie's face aged rapidly, and his hair turned from black to white in an instant.

Just as he reached out to grab something, a gentle breeze blew by. His entire being dissipated completely in mid-air like ashes.

Following his death, those Believers who had not been affected also began to become like him, turning into ashes one by one and dissipating within the divine kingdom.

The Divine Lord died, and the Believers were all wiped out. The sky of the divine kingdom world was covered with dark clouds, and soon, light rain began to fall.

This was not ordinary rain, but real blood rain. The sky and the earth let out mournful cries, as if grieving the departure of their lord.

This apocalyptic scene was like a fast-forwarded movie; the earth cracked, and the rivers dried up. The world that was once vibrant with life became completely desolate in just a moment.

Only those cities and buildings remained standing quietly upon it.

Along with the last mournful cry of the world, the entire world shook violently. At the same time, Lin Xiao felt his own divine kingdom suddenly start to shake as well.

The next moment, a strange connection appeared in his heart. Subconsciously, he sank his consciousness into his divine kingdom.

Only then did he discover that outside his own divine kingdom world, a much larger world was revolving around his divine kingdom.

The massive world was completely silent and desolate. This was none other than the divine kingdom of the dead demigod!
