Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1507 The Beginning of Birth
"Serpent Dragon" slowly put the large sword, which was as big as a door panel, into his briefcase.

He glanced up at Rosemerada, then prepared to leave. It wasn't his place to deal with the problem at hand; Rosemerada could handle it herself.

But just as he was about to turn around, a dark red glow emerged from Liu's body, which had been split in two.

"...Reincarnation?"

“You changed your clothes, but I still recognize your suitcase.”

The crimson glow coalesced into a phantom image of a person. She reached out and touched the corpse on the ground, and the corpse gradually began to glow red as well.

"Is there any necessary connection between my arrival and yours?" Liu asked.

“It’s a bit troublesome.” Snake Dragon didn’t answer Liu’s question, but just muttered to himself, “But staying here isn’t bad either. It can solve some problems and also see how much strength they’re holding back.”

"It's a pity that I felt my consciousness rapidly dissipating in such a short time. This may fulfill some of your intentions. But I would prefer... to deal with you first."

Liu glanced back at the minute church where she ultimately could not return.

"What a pity."

The ghostly red light began to expand, its intense radiance illuminating the entire sky. The bones began to dissolve and reform, coalescing into a red and black military knife in the increasingly enormous phantom's hand.

"If... we could still... make a star fall..."

Paradoxical Bone Saber - The Day of Rest's End
A star destined to be born in the future loses its life before its birth in the past. If a star has not yet transcended cause and effect, then it will ultimately form a paradox of struggling with its own existence.

An impermanent birth: The gaze from the future will urge a star to rise into the "sky" in any form.

Irreversible destruction: A glimpse from the past can influence all hints pointing to the stars.

Fallen Star Timeline Erasure: This blade is dedicated to erasing all of its own death.

The End: The stars will rise into the sky, and the stars will destroy everything.

Scene Addition: Fate: Fallen Star: Your destiny should be above others.

Even those who transcend others have only transcended their own world; there are still many things they cannot fully grasp. The path ahead is for them to walk themselves.

As the red light illuminated the sky, everyone could see the enormous body emerging from not far from the Church of the Minute. Even Rosemerada was surprised, for this was not the deity she had expected.

After witnessing the arrival of the Spinning Star, everyone had a vague sense of what a god was, and could even recognize him the moment he appeared. Vanessa had just stepped out when she saw the giant bathed in red light, and she was completely stunned.

It's not that she doesn't recognize that thing; on the contrary, she now has a deep understanding of it, which is why she is very clear about the kind of damage it can cause.

As the Pharmacist and Danxi approached the Minute Church, they also witnessed the birth of the deity. Danxi immediately let out a scream, while the Pharmacist quickly switched control with Lu Ning.

"This is troublesome," she said before the exchange. Lu Ning knew what she meant; this place really couldn't withstand the destruction of yet another god. However, unlike Spinning Star, the red giant was not a fully formed god.

She swiftly cut the stitches off Danshi's hand and then began preparing plague bullets.

"Stop calling me, Danxi."

“It has to be released...it really hurts too much.” Danxi replied in a weak voice, frantically untying the threads between her palms, after which a blob of white “paint” rose from her hand.

"Besides Rosemaryda and her plague apostles and minions, we also need to deal with this deity. Danshi, although we don't have a close working relationship, I still have to say, don't die carelessly."

"Of course I know! This is the time when the tourists will have their final showdown..."

Before Danxi could finish speaking, she was engulfed in the paint in her hand.

Lu Ning immediately rolled to the other side and fired a plague bullet from her gun.

Bloom.

Under the red light, the flowers, appearing even deeper red, bloomed one by one before Lu Ning's eyes. A woman holding a red umbrella appeared among the blooming flowers. The plague bullet pierced through a series of petals, but was still stopped in mid-air.

Lady Red's eyes were cold. Countless blood vessels had replaced parts of her body, and the outer walls of these blood vessels were gradually dissolving, becoming part of her blood.

She finally arrived in time, after fulfilling the "promise" that Rosemary had entrusted to her.

By fully merging with the holder of "The Skin Illusion," one can ultimately reclaim a portion of the authority, thereby gaining power that is almost akin to that of a god.

That sounds nice.

She had already done so, but unfortunately, it wasn't as good as Rosemaryda had described. At least, she hadn't considered that her own life state would change. Although it had indeed transformed into a superior life state, to the point that even the appearance of gods couldn't affect her, this "concealment" displeased the Red Lady. She couldn't physically attack Rosemaryda, but she could use this method to demonstrate her power.

But Lu Ning had no intention of fighting this sudden ambush. She hadn't managed to kill him with her first shot, and knew this battle was likely to drag on. She immediately shouted, "It's up to you," and turned to run.

Lady Red was stunned for a moment, and then she saw a white mass.

As if someone had brushed across the air with a paintbrush, her scarlet flowers instantly turned white, and not a single other color could be seen on them even in the red light.

"Hey, she really knows how to find work for people. But I'm just about to vent my anger, so having a suitable target is perfect."

Danshi emerged from the white. "Covering," the power of the altar builder, means to cover all the characteristics of something with a strong, singular quality, thus creating a pure zone that has no characteristics other than that one quality.

Within this realm, Danxi generally uses only white and black; their effects are largely the same, except that black might be harder to find. Aside from that, she tries to use this power sparingly to avoid destroying the history of things that aren't her target.

“You’re a monk from the church, no wonder…” The Red Lady lost contact with the whitening flowers and immediately abandoned them, summoning a new sea of ​​flowers. “Then let me draw your blood, and I will make you into a beautiful blood coral to display in my hall.”

More crimson flowers bloomed, some even appearing out of thin air on Danxi's arm, but this part was immediately painted white.

“If my blood misbehaves, I’ll wipe it away first.” Danxi waved away the useless white paint. “Fifteen minutes, within fifteen minutes, I’ll dig up your entire history and then paint you white.”

Minutes of church, guest accommodation area.

Locke never expected to face such a troublesome assassin. It's difficult for an ordinary person to return after being thrown far away by the initial spell, since one would need the ability to "fly" to return. The new gravity field he temporarily created would cause the opponent to keep falling backward.

But the other person jumped back, using the broken bricks as steps to climb, and within a few breaths they were back at the wall.

"What a quick-witted fellow!" The ranger laughed and threw a brick she had picked up. Locke didn't even see her throw it before he heard a scream from the side. Walter had been hit in the chest by the brick. He screamed, twitched a couple of times, and then lay still.

What kind of destructive power is this!

Even some well-known second-tier earth and stone spells couldn't kill Walter by simply throwing a stone at him. They were noble mercenaries, and their armor was very valuable, providing some protection against all kinds of attacks. How could they be killed by throwing a stone?

However, it wouldn't be so easy for the ranger to use the same trick to kill Locke again. Locke was surrounded by his repulsive trap spells, so not only could stones not be thrown, but even guns couldn't penetrate them. He drew his weapon and confronted the ranger, but before long, red light shone through the hole in the wall.

After the initial confusion of being born, the Red Giant immediately sensed its mission.

For it, Liu's death was a mistake, and it had to be corrected. The giant then looked up at the sky. Gods possess a vision different from ordinary people, and they can clearly discern things that cannot be seen by ordinary things.

It raised the military knife in its hand, which, relative to its size, resembled a thin needle, and focused intently on slashing it into the air.

When that slash cut a gash high in the sky, the expressions of everyone watching changed. From the Serpent Dragon to Rosemerada, from Lu Ning to Vanessa.

Revenge, destruction, pollution, sowing... This giant did none of the things people imagined a god should do after his birth, but his actions were far more serious than any of them.

Lu Ning smelled the scorching heat emanating from the gap, and the lava that was gradually flowing out of it.

Golden lava instantly stole a portion of the night sky from the giant's red light. The droplet, resembling the sun, gradually broke away from the fissure and fell back to earth—

That location was in the direction of the warehouse that had been emptied by the Minute Church. After that drop of lava fell to the ground, the sudden burst of light almost made everyone think that daytime had suddenly returned.

Tourists like Shelong and Lu Ning, however, assumed that a missile had hit that spot.

The intense light and heat did not ignite any flames, because it had long surpassed the level of flames and jumped directly to the release of pure energy. This release was also very precise, melting everything within a certain range with devastating impact, while leaving no damage outside that range.

That is also a deity.

He naturally recognized the snake dragon, after all, it was a deity from his own clan.

The god worshipped by Kishka, the great condensing furnace core, the symbol of all industry and art, whose divine realm is a furnace forever filled with light and heat, in which all things are forged, and golden molten lava flows across the earth.

The giant paid no heed to the destruction caused by that single drop of molten lava, instead turning his gaze to another spot in the air and continuing to strike.

A vibrant wind surged from the second cut, a drop of water condensed at the edge of the crack, and then fell into the dense forest.

Lu Ning could only hear a desperate scream coming from the dense forest behind her. It was a roar from the entire forest at the same time. The water droplets from the Fountain of Youth, containing the divine power of infinite life force, fell into the forest the moment they entered. All the decay and death were infused with life. New buds immediately sprouted on all the dead trees. At the very center of the forest, the "overgrown nursery" that was fighting with Bavotley lost its ability to command as the main trunk in an instant. Bavotley used a broken blade to pierce its head.

What seemed like a hopeless situation to humans was instantly destroyed by the slightest glimpse of divine power.

However, the red giant was still not satisfied. Its gaze turned to the third point in the sky.

It will pierce through all divine kingdoms, allowing divine power to wash over the earth, creating suitable conditions for its own rebirth.

The first person to strike crashed in almost a streak of light, his short sword clashing with the skeletal military knife, sparking a shower of fire. Surprisingly, the short sword remained completely undamaged in the clash with the opponent's weapon.

"Hmph, it would be better if I killed him. At least those killed by this weapon wouldn't end up in such a miserable state."

Bernd stepped onto the giant's arm, a look of regret on his face.

The giant pierced the divine kingdom according to the distance between the gods and the present world as stated in the scriptures of the church. The divine kingdom and the present world are not in the same space and time, and the giant, driven by instinct, would certainly not choose the distant place.

The third is the divine kingdom of the Hundred-Eyed Tree, where he resides in the Warning Hub. If that place is pierced, the gaze of the Hundred-Eyed Tree will expose everything. If the first two only leaked a trace of divine power, then the Hundred-Eyed Tree's divine kingdom will only contain that omnipresent gaze.

"Nobody's going to help? Didn't I become the villain? Why am I the first one to make a move?" Burdi had barely uttered these words when he was thrown off by the giant.

The newly born god seemed to finally see these ant-sized creatures on the ground. He bent down and saw the tallest building before him, the Minute Church.

Standing at the church entrance, Vanessa immediately felt the pressure of the giant's gaze. She knew very well that she had once again received a "blessing," just as the Spinning Star had planted its roots in everyone's body, and now, the giant's corruption had directly reached her as well.

—Kill it, let it be free.

Vanessa clutched the plague tightly to her chest, knelt on the ground, and began to pray with her eyes closed.

"I do not seek salvation from gods... I only look inward for the strength that belongs to myself."
