217: Chapter 217 Creating God

"Run?"

The elder on the right, 'Nether Wind', gave a cold snort, not even moving a finger.

He simply exhaled a light breath.

"Whoosh—"

The air inside the entire hall was instantly sucked dry, transforming into hundreds upon thousands of dimensional wind blades invisible to the naked eye.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The Watcher, charging through mid-air, found his alloy body—strengthened over a century—as fragile as tofu before these dimensional wind blades.

Sparks flew in all directions as metal fragments filled the air.

Thud!

The Watcher's massive, battered body was slammed violently back into the ground. Most of his mechanical conduits were severed, blue machine oil sprayed wildly, and he was left with only a single breath remaining.

One strike! Just a single breath! It had instantly defeated a powerhouse who had guarded the tower for a century!

This was absolute level suppression!

"Senior!!!"

Chen Xi's eyes nearly split from rage, his fury instantly overwhelming his reason.

"Xiao Xiao! Mu Rou! Ye Fei! Use all your trump cards! Don't worry about mana consumption!!"

"Void Thunder Punishment: God-Slaying Spear!!!"

Su Xiaoxiao bit the tip of her tongue, directly overdrawing her life force. The staff in her hand transformed into a bolt of purple-black lightning that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth. With a sense of absolute finality, she lunged straight at the central elder, 'Blood Nightmare'!

"Time Reversal: Absolute Stillness!"

Li Murou's fingers flew across her instrument, the strings cutting into her fingers and staining the zither red with blood. The strongest sonic laws erupted, attempting to completely freeze the space where the three elders stood.

"Myriad Spirit Divine Seal: Nether Wolf of the Nine Serenities!"

Ye Fei held nothing back either. Golden light exploded from her brow as she poured out all the mental energy in her body, summoning a phantom of a Void Wolf King over ten meters tall. Covered in the Netherflames of the Nine Serenities, it pounced forward with a roar!

Facing this triple-kill move that could easily wipe out a Rank 6 Mechanical Vajra...

The three elders didn't even lift an eyelid.

"Ignorant."

The elder on the left, 'Hellfire', calmly spat out those two words.

He casually raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

Snap.

Boom—!!!

A ring of eerie black-red purgatory fire erupted, centered on him and expanding outward.

This was no ordinary fire, but a demonic flame imbued with the laws of Annihilation!

Sizzle!

The moment Su Xiaoxiao's invincible Void Divine Thunder touched the demonic flame, it was evaporated instantly, like a snowflake falling into boiling water!

Li Murou's Absolute Stillness sonic waves were shattered on the spot by this violent energy. Before absolute power, the laws of time were nothing but a facade!

As for the Nether Wolf summoned by Ye Fei, it didn't even have time to let out a whimper before being burned into nothingness by the black-red flames!

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The backlash hit instantly. The three girls of the Nirvana Battle Team spat blood simultaneously, flying backward like kites with broken strings. They crashed heavily onto the ground, losing even the strength to stand.

"Ants are just ants."

Elder Blood Nightmare shook his head, not even sparing them a glance as he stepped toward the gate leading to the 81st Floor.

"Let's not waste time. Retrieving the Source Stone is the priority."

"Who... said you could leave..."

A low, raspy voice—one that sounded as if it had crawled out from the depths of hell—rang out from behind the three elders.

Blood Nightmare stopped and turned around.

He saw Chen Xi with his head bowed, blocking their inevitable path.

His body was trembling slightly—not from fear, but from extreme anger and indignation.

"Oh? There's still one left breathing?"

Elder Nether Wind looked at Chen Xi as if looking at a bug: "Will you crawl away on your own, or shall I mince you into meat?"

Chen Xi didn't speak.

He slowly raised his head. Those eyes, originally pitch black, had now turned into a frenzied red-gold that seemed ready to burn everything!

His gaze passed over the three high-and-mighty elders and landed on the dying Mechanical Watcher on the ground.

Cough, cough...

The Watcher struggled to turn the small remaining portion of his human face to look at Chen Xi.

In that mechanical prosthetic eye, a hint of relief and resolve emerged.

"Child..."

Using his only remaining mechanical hand, The Watcher suddenly plunged it into his own shattered chest!

Crack!

Accompanied by a tooth-aching sound of tearing, he actually ripped out the Miniature Nuclear Fusion Reactor—the source of his life—along with the surrounding flesh from his chest!

"Take it..."

Using his last ounce of strength, The Watcher hurled the core fragment—radiating a blinding blue light and containing terrifying nuclear energy along with his century of soul and will—toward Chen Xi.

"Use my core... to protect... the future of humanity..."

After saying this, The Watcher's mechanical eye went completely dark, but a gratified smile remained frozen on that half-human face.

After a century of lonely vigil, he could finally rest.

"Senior!!!"

Chen Xi let out a heart-wrenching roar as he caught the scalding core fragment, which was still dripping with machine oil and blood.

The moment it touched his hand, an energy so violent it nearly exploded his entire arm flooded into his body.

"Hmm? What is this old thing trying to do? Detonating his core to extend the boy's life?"

Elder Blood Nightmare frowned. Though he didn't understand, the energy fluctuations from that core indeed caused him a hint of displeasure.

"Nether Wind, kill him. He's an eyesore."

"Understood."

Elder Nether Wind sneered and raised his hand, sending out a massive void wind blade capable of slicing through space, aimed straight for Chen Xi's head.

"The ones who will die are you!!!"

Facing that lethal wind blade, Chen Xi didn't retreat; he charged forward.

His eyes were blood-red, and two lines of bloody tears flowed from the corners of his eyes due to the extreme congestion.

He held The Watcher's core high. His mental energy, magic power, and even his life force all burned without reservation at this moment!

Under the desperate pressure of Level 85! Amidst the grief and indignation of fallen comrades and a senior's tragic death!

Chen Xi had gone completely mad!

"Talent—Miracle Creation!!!"

"Talent—Miracle: Sublimation!!!"

"Dual Talents! Overload Limit!!!"

In the center of this rapidly changing battlefield, right before the eyes of three Rank 8 powerhouses, he was actually...

Using the core of a Level 100 cyborg as material and his own boiling blood as ink,

Forcibly—creating a card on the spot!!!

Buzz—!!!

In that instant, time on the entire 80th floor seemed to stand still.

A supreme power surpassing the rules of this space erupted from Chen Xi's palm, instantly shattering the incoming void wind blade into dust!

The blinding golden light even caused the three arrogant elders to instinctively close their eyes.

In the deepest part of the golden light,

Chen Xi held a newly formed Legendary-grade card, its surface flowing with dark-gold blood and deep-blue nuclear energy.

He wiped away the bloody tears from his eyes and revealed a smile more hideous and crazed than a demon's:

"Didn't you want a god?!"

"Today... I'll create a god for you!!!"
