123: I want to see if God will die!

The Lord of Corruption reacted swiftly, immediately spreading her twelve pairs of black wings, attempting to break free from the restraints.

But the next second, several golden chains appeared out of thin air, piercing directly through her wings.

Blood dripped down the chains, transforming into fiercely burning golden flames in mid-air.

"King!" The Lord of Sin anxiously called out to the Disaster King, his eyes filled with unease and worry.

The Disaster King calmly raised his right hand.

"Crack—"

In an instant, the space in the Divine Forbidden Land shattered like a broken mirror.

As soon as the golden runes touched the spatial rift, they were silently and completely devoured.

The Five Great Monarchs immediately felt their power surge back into their bodies like a tide.

Above the firmament, the slowly swirling halo suddenly accelerated its rotation, and a golden beam of light, over ten thousand meters in diameter, abruptly descended from the sky.

In this dazzling light, a figure condensed from pure radiance slowly emerged.

Behind him, twelve blazing golden sun wheels floated, exuding a sacred and inviolable aura.

"One who blasphemes the gods."

The voice boomed like thunder, shaking heaven and earth, causing the glaciers of the entire Northern Han Empire to tremble violently, and large areas began to collapse.

"I am..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Disaster King's figure had quietly appeared before this luminous being.

He raised his right hand and, without hesitation, pierced through the opponent's chest.

"So verbose."

The luminous being instantly froze, and countless black cracks began to appear on its body from the point of penetration, spreading across its entire form at an alarming speed.

It looked down at its wound, its eyes filled with shock:

"This is God-Slaying Power! How is this possible? How could you possess such power?"

"Didn't you claim to be a god? Why so much nonsense?" The Disaster King sneered, tightening his fingers, and the next moment, the luminous being exploded, shattering into a myriad of flying light particles.

However, these light particles did not dissipate; instead, they rapidly converged into the sky, re-condensing into an even larger figure above the clouds.

This time, what descended was a golden divine body, ten thousand meters tall, its twelve pairs of light wings almost obscuring half the sky of the Northern Han Empire when spread open.

Seven star-like gems were embedded in the divine body's chest, each radiating a suffocating pressure.

"Mortal, how dare you provoke..."

He hadn't even finished speaking.

The Disaster King's figure vanished from its original spot, reappearing steadily atop the divine body's head, where he lightly stomped down.

"Boom—!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the divine body's head instantly disintegrated, and its massive body swayed, kneeling to the ground.

However, after only a moment, the destroyed parts began to recover at an astonishing speed.

"How troublesome." The Disaster King frowned slightly, but then a cold smile appeared on his face,

"In that case, I'll just directly read your memories."

His pupils suddenly turned as black as ink, like a bottomless abyss, and at the same time, countless tiny blood-red runes emerged from around him, twisting and intertwining like living spirits in the air, weaving into a massive blood-colored net that completely enveloped the regenerating divine body.

"No! This is..." The divine body let out a roar filled with fear, and the seven star gems simultaneously shone with dazzling light,

"How could you master such forbidden power..."

However, the blood-colored network did not stop; instead, it tightened abruptly, forcefully compressing the entire divine body into a scorching golden orb of light.

The Disaster King raised a hand, effortlessly holding the golden light, and as his fingertip delved into it, a vast flood of memory fragments surged into his mind like a tide.

"So that's how it is." He gave a cold laugh, and the orb of light in his hand shattered in response,

"The so-called 'gods' are nothing but failures, who, to prolong their miserable existence, even sacrificed their own will, living like insects."

No sooner had he spoken than the sky suddenly darkened.

This was not ordinary cloud cover; it was a deeper, more fundamental darkness that descended—stars extinguished, sunlight vanished, and even the energy glow emanating from the Five Great Monarchs was completely devoured.

In this absolute darkness, a low, hoarse voice came from all directions:

"How much... did you see?"

The Disaster King's figure glowed crimson in the darkness, and he raised his head, his gaze fixed on a certain point in the void:

"Enough."

"For example, you so-called gods are merely pitiful worms who failed to escape in the last epoch."

The darkness seemed to tremble violently at these words, and the voice also carried a hint of panic:

"Silence! You don't understand—"

"Don't understand what?" The Disaster King snapped his fingers, and the darkness collapsed like a shattered mirror, revealing the distorted starry sky behind it,

"Don't understand that you treat Blue Star as a petri dish, attempting to cultivate weapons against 'them'?"

"Or rather, you yourselves don't even know what 'they' are?"

"As for the 'Critical Point' you created, it's actually just a container to imprison yourselves, isn't it?"

When the Five Great Monarchs heard these words, a look of surprise appeared on all their faces.

The Lord of the Underworld couldn't help but ask, "King, are those gods..."

The Disaster King merely smiled lightly, his tone carrying a hint of disdain:

"Hmph, the so-called gods are just a bunch of failures, clinging to Life in this world.

"Now that I've kicked them upside down, they finally can't sit still, can they?"

At this moment, the voice hidden in the darkness also abruptly ceased.

Buzz—!

A light above Blue Star suddenly restored its completeness, and a vast energy fluctuation instantly swept across the entire planet.

The next second, the golden halo spanning the sky suddenly erupted with dazzling brilliance, and the entire planet's atmosphere rippled violently like a lake.

Countless tiny golden light particles drifted down like snowflakes, silently merging into all things upon touching the ground.

"This... this is divine power?!" The Lord of Deception's voice trembled for the first time, and unconcealed shock showed through his mask,

"They are actually rewriting the physical rules of this planet!"

The changes first occurred in the permafrost glaciers of the Northern Han Empire.

The ice layers that had slept for millions of years began to slowly writhe, and golden veins actually grew between the ice crystals, gradually condensing into hundred-meter-tall frost giants.

Next was the deep Pacific Ocean.

The seawater suddenly boiled, and countless ancient marine creatures, long extinct, emerged from the void; mysterious runes shimmered on their scales, and the giant waves they stirred up even directly submerged several island nations.

"Look over there!" The Lord of Corruption pointed in the direction of Great Xia.

The mountain range where the Zhurong Department headquarters was located was rapidly rising, and huge golden eyes appeared on the mountain's surface, as if observing everything in the world.

Meanwhile, the Divine Forbidden Land guarded by the Gonggong Department cracked open a deep abyss, from which came the chilling sound of chains clashing.

The Disaster King floated high in the sky, his black trench coat flapping in the violent energy storm.

His eyes reflected the anomalies occurring simultaneously across the globe, but a cold smile played on his lips:

"It's finally begun. Are the gods also starting to revive?"

"I want to see if these so-called gods will truly die, if they will feel fear of death like mortals."
