Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 1265 A Just Gang Fight

The great demon Asmodeus's self-destruction of his divine heart successfully struck his ally, inflicting massive damage.

The black and red divine explosion spread through the Etheric Channel, like Hell firing a cannon at itself. Even the contract circuits of the Nine Hells were blasted back, and large numbers of demonic true names were burned to ashes in the fire.

The great demon Asmodeus gained absolutely nothing.

His great spirituality, which he had condensed based on the wedge of the plane, shattered on the spot, and his [Selfless One] status shattered on the spot, causing him to fall back to the crown level.

Even worse, the crown behind him was also cracked beyond recognition, half dim and half bleeding, like a hellish crown that had been run over by a dump truck.

Inside Blackrock Fortress, Eden projected that scene onto the front of the Psionic Throne.

The second swordsman, Qasim Muhammad, looked up at the bombed-out outer defensive line of Bato.

After a moment, he slowly said:
"Although the other party is only a first-stage miracle worker, you were able to fool a great devil who holds the sovereignty of a plane into personally tearing out his divine heart and then smashing that heart into the ranks of your own reinforcements... Your ability is truly terrifying."

Xia Xiu sat on the psionic throne, holding a platinum notebook in his left hand and twirling a blood-red spear-like pen between his fingers in his right.

"You flatter me. If it were you in that situation, you wouldn't need all these troublesome steps."

Qasim shook his head.

"It's not difficult to shatter the self-sacrifice of a person in ten minutes. Even if I were to step in, it would take some effort. I can't be as efficient and swift as you."

These two sword-wielders, one a numerical monster and the other a mechanical monster, actually exchanged pleasantries while being blown to bits in Breton Hell.

Eden quickly provided new hints for advancement.

The main shipping lane ahead has stabilized.

Xia Xiu closed the platinum notebook, and the blood-red pen transformed into a deep red halo and disappeared back into [The Gospel of the Unborn].

"Advance on Blackrock Fortress continues."

The celestial fortress accelerated again, advancing along the blank space blasted open by the Great Devil himself.

The battle on the outer perimeter of the fortress continues.

Because from the moment Asmodeus appeared, to his self-destruction by tearing out his heart, to the time when a breach was blown in the outer defenses of Barto, only about ten minutes had passed.

The Great Devil's performance was so ordinary; he was kicked away by Xia Xiu as soon as he appeared, leaving no impression whatsoever.

For the berserk gods, crowns, and courtyard offspring on the outer shell of Blackrock Fortress, this amount of time is at most enough for a few rounds of heavy blows.

And so, Blackrock Fortress carried the fighting crowd on the deck through the rift of the Nine Hells and arrived at the next territory.

……

……

Twin Paradise.

The seat has a peculiar double-layered structure, with the two layers seemingly split apart by some ancient force, yet facing each other.

The stable city of [Dusino] is home to towns, fields, settlements of inquisitors, and the residence of the gods, where many otherworldly creatures and inhabitants live.

The desolate [Sherlock] is like another world hanging downwards, with rocky terrain, mineral veins, campsites and rugged mountains scattered across it, where travelers and explorers often venture.

The astral plane connects these two planes, like a stretched ribbon of light, extending from Dusino to Sherlock and then back from Sherlock to Dusino.

At this moment, Twin Paradise is in the midday hour.

The boundary between the two layers radiated a bright light that spread outward from the cracked edges, illuminating the fields and towns of [Dusino] and the wastelands of [Sherlock] in perfect clarity.

There is no moon here, and the starlight at night often comes from campfires on another level and the lights falling down, so the stars are sparse on this side of [Dusino], while on the side of [Sherlock] it looks like it is full of campfires.

Now, this tranquil light has been shattered by Blackrock Fortress.

A massive celestial fortress surged into the outer edge of the Twin Paradises from the direction of Bathor, briefly filling the void of the Twin Paradises lacking a moon.

The supplicants of [Dusino] looked up and saw the black star, while the campfires on the [Sherlock] wasteland were swept away by a gale and extinguished in droves.

Eden's notification sounded before the Psionic Throne.

[Arrived at the outer edge of Twin Paradise.]

Xia Xiu looked at the two opposing planes in the projection and gently tapped the armrest of the throne with his fingertips.

"Gal's territory."

He spoke the name with a subtle hint of a smile in his voice.

Garth Shankin, the lord of the dwarf pantheon, is the only surviving familiar face among the three members of the Anti-Kingdom Alliance.

The other two members, Talishid, the leader of the Elysian Gadinian race, and Moradin, the lord of the dwarven pantheon, were indirectly killed by him, while he personally destroyed the latter.

Now that he had come this far, he felt he should at least show some politeness and send the last member of the trio over so that they could all sit together at the same table.

However, after Blackrock Fortress was pushed into the outer edge of Twin Paradise, the anticipated divine defense line did not appear.

A protective barrier has been erected in the town of [Dusino], but it is only a civilian refuge-style barrier.

The campfires on the wasteland in Sherlock were extinguished in droves, and panicked prayers echoed from the settlement of the Prayer; the two ends of the astral belt even made way for each other, as if the entire Twin Paradise was trying to shrink itself into the roadside background.

Eden quickly provided the scan results.

No powerful divine-level units were detected.

No large-scale pantheon fleet detected.

[The anchor point for the main god of the dwarf pantheon is missing.]

The Twin Paradise defense center is currently idle.

Xia Xiu looked at the row of prompts and chuckled.

"It seems that Garth Gold has run off to the Golden Tree."

He leaned back on his throne, his gaze sweeping over the dwarf supplicants of Dusino who were spontaneously seeking refuge.

"That's pretty decisive. He abandoned his own plane, his own divine kingdom, and his own people here. The lord of the pantheon himself went to the Golden Tree to save his life first."

The second sword-bearer, Qasim Muhammad, looked at the empty Twin Paradise without showing any surprise.

"Abandoning the division of forces was the right decision."

As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on the increasingly intense golden light at the end of the main channel.

"The Shura Field failed to hold us back, and the Bato Hell was also directly breached. Continuing to set up defenses along the way is just sending the gods and pantheon fleets to their deaths one by one."

Kasim paused for a moment, then added in a calm tone:
"They've confirmed that a dispersed deployment won't stop the two of us, nor will it stop this Blackrock Fortress. Now, we should consolidate our forces and push all our powerful units around the Golden Tree; at least we can still fight a full-scale decisive battle."

Xia Xiu nodded.

Leaving aside the surprise attack on the Mechanical Realm, just considering the two blocking planes, the Asura Field and the Hell of Bato, the myriad worlds did indeed initially have a bit of luck.

They thought that by constantly turning planes into roadblocks, they could buy enough time for the Golden Tree to be crowned.

As a result, the Shura Field was breached by Blackrock Fortress on the spot, and the Bathor Hell was even worse off. The great demon Asmodeus was a complete idiot, utterly useless, and even blew up allies.

If the myriad realms were still thinking of setting up layers of defenses at this point, they would truly be making a laughing stock.

The current situation is that rather than letting the divine kingdoms along the way become speed bumps one by one, it's better to gather all the capable fighters around the Golden Tree and gamble on the final showdown.

"Alright."

Xia Xiu looked up at the Twin Paradise, where the bright boundary trembled slightly in the shadow of the Black Rock Fortress. The astral band between [Dusino] and [Sherlock] seemed to be bent by a giant object, but it never dared to retaliate.

"It saves us from crashing into each plane one by one."

He muttered something to himself, then turned his gaze to the outer deck, where the battle on the outer perimeter of Blackrock Fortress had already been decided.

……

……

The first to fall was Annat, the weaker god of war.

At first, her red-gold spear could tear through Dorne's defenses with its speed, but once the Eleventh Elder Dorne's summoned [Putta] was firmly in place, and the Craftsman's Shadow and the Garden Warfare Project were launched simultaneously, every thrust of hers was measured by the ruler and stopped halfway by the giant hammer.

As the final blow landed, Eleven's hammer crushed her spear, and the Titan [Vesltein] followed up with a heavy cannon shot from the flank, blasting her divine body directly into the Blackrock Ridge. The projection of the Canaanite God of War's divine kingdom shattered into pieces amidst the cannon fire.

Hextor's situation isn't much better.

This mid-level tyrannical god, with his six arms rotating, relied on the projection of the Scourge's legions and his brutal discipline to hold out, managing to fight the ninth god, Angolan, for over a dozen rounds. However, the ninth god grew increasingly excited, with Spartacus's arena phantom dragging Hextor into gladiatorial combat, and the Titan Azrigon, empowered by the tenth god Perturaber's White Furnace of Hundred Furnaces, constantly reducing Hextor's escape routes.

At this point, the Knights and Heroes also entered the fray one after another, and Heaven began a righteous brawl!

When the Knights of Saint Sebastian, under the command of the Seventh Hero, cut into the battlefield from the flank, the purifying flames burned directly through the Legion projection in the Land of Calamity.

Just as Hextor was about to forcefully break the deadlock with his six arms, the Ninth had already charged into his chest with his shield, slashing off three arms with his blood-red dagger, and then smashing the six-armed Tyrant God into the muzzle of the Titan's cannon with a punch.

"Fire!"

The tenth prince, Perturaber, gave the order in a cold voice.

[Azrigon] The main cannon on his chest lit up, and the white steam furnace pushed the beam of light through Hextor's body. The holy symbol of the god of tyranny shattered in the cannon light, and the pattern of the six arrows went out one by one. In the end, only a ball of gray-red divine fire was forcibly controlled by the containment nail of the burial mechanism.

The Titans then began to focus their attacks.

boom--!!!!

……

……

On the other side, Duke Thunder originally wanted to use the storm to escape back to the outer edge of Twin Paradise.

He transformed the thundercloud into hundreds of clones, which scattered and fled along the inner side of the Void Shield, attempting to slip into the gaps in the Blackrock Fortress's defensive circuitry.

However, the war data writers of the [Knights of Saint Isodo] had already completed the modeling of the lightning trajectory, and the Fourth Hero personally nailed the rune trajectory into the core of the storm, forcibly pulling all the clones back to the same coordinates.

The next second, the mirror field newly developed by Vice Principal Turs unfolded, and Lei Yun was frozen in mid-air.

Both Titans turned simultaneously.

Duke Thunder only had time to let out a roar before being blasted out of the storm by seventeen consecutive heavy cannon shots. His divine name was then cut open by the divine medium falcon of the [Holy Trinity Knights], and his entire Thunder God body exploded into a purple and white rain of lightning on the outer layer of Blackrock Fortress.

Vijesty is the most difficult to handle.

She remained hidden among the necromancy spells and pale shadows, attempting to bypass the main battlefield and infiltrate the inner pipelines of Blackrock Fortress.

But she was unlucky and ran into two teams from the Burial Mechanism: [Winter Wonderland] and [Angle Grinder].

The two teams each pulled out two strange and unusual weapon projects targeting this deity.

Christmas Ball No. 0; its shape is a glass snow globe the size of a fist, with a white town whose outline is not clearly visible floating inside.

The town has 3000 people, and the only thing in the town is snow that never stops falling.

When it is shaken, the flow within a certain range around it will be forcibly frozen, and every time it is activated, someone in the town will die on the spot.

The [Angle Grinder] team then pulled out... a real angle grinder!!

Or, as they would call him, he should be referred to as the Holy Relic Sandwheel.

It looks like an old-fashioned industrial angle grinder, with a black casing and numerous wear marks engraved on the surface. It has no power cord or energy tank, but it still works.

It doesn't make a motor sound when it starts up; instead, it makes a sharp, grinding sound similar to bones being ground into powder.

Its cutting power is extremely weak; it cannot cut through ordinary metal or even a piece of wood. The only thing it can cut through is the connection between the deity and the deity.

According to the records, the unusual weapon, the Sacred Relic Wheel, first appeared in a peripheral industrial city-state of Terra.

There was a small church in the area that had been in arrears with the wages of its maintenance workers for a long time. The church priest would talk about giving alms, but he wouldn't take out a single copper coin from his ledger.

The repairman had been demanding his unpaid wages for three months. Finally, he grabbed an angle grinder from his workshop, stormed into the church, and beat the priest who owed him wages to death on the spot.

What's surprising is that the priest in Bengbu was no ordinary priest.

He was a follower of some third-rate evil god, and he had an unusual blessing within him. Logically speaking, an ordinary person might not be able to break through his protective divine magic even if they hit him with a hammer for a long time.

As a result, he was sent away with an angle grinder by a worker who couldn't get paid.

When the Kingdom of Heaven later took possession of this unusual item, they also happened to find the lowly evil god behind it.

The research department of the Central Containment Chamber chuckled at the time, saying, "This anomalous item even comes with experimental samples!"

After the little evil god was captured by the Kingdom of Heaven, it was bound with a reality anchor, then tied to a cross, and then repeatedly cut with a holy relic grinding wheel.

From this perspective alone... well, Heaven really does resemble a ruthless villainous organization, except that those being persecuted are certainly not good people.

After N rounds of experimental cutting, the little evil god had been dismembered into a box of anomalous materials. Before he died, he was still muttering to himself, and it is said that most of his words were cursing the priest who owed him wages.

BYD, you're even greedy for that little bit of money!

Now, the Holy Relic Grinding Wheel is being held in the hands of the [Angle Grinder] squad leader.

Vijes finally realized something was wrong.

She tried to split her avatar into hundreds of pale shadows, but the snow inside the Christmas ball intensified suddenly, and all the shadows froze on the black stone shell at the same time, like a nailed frost-white silhouette—she was frozen in place.

Inside the snow globe, a silent commotion suddenly arose from the town.

People collapsed on the streets, others slumped over dining tables inside houses, and in the square beneath the clock tower, a group of residents looking up at the snow seemed to have their breath cut off simultaneously by an unseen hand; a thousand figures lost their lives in the same instant.

The snow continued to fall, covering their shoulders, faces, and outstretched fingers, and the town's population dropped from three thousand to two thousand.

The member of [Winter Wonderland] responsible for activating Christmas Ball Zero raised his right hand, which was wearing a watch. A line of red text appeared on the watch face, and he read it aloud:
"The 26th launch of the Zero Christmas Ball resulted in a loss of one thousand people. The Ministry of National Folk Christmas Affairs needs to prepare one thousand compensation gifts and initiate the Seven Deer Snowmobile delivery program."

"All of them must be delivered by Christmas Day this year."

This is the cost of containing Christmas Ball Zero.

For every certain number of deaths in the town's population, a corresponding number of gift boxes will be generated before Christmas in reality.

The gift box looks normal, and the contents are just normal gifts: toys, books, scarves, candy, models, musical instruments, and craft tools. They are all generated according to the objects corresponding to the labels on the box, without any additional abnormal contamination.

The problem is that the box must be delivered to the right person.

Each gift box has a list of conditions: zodiac sign of the same month, birthday range, gender, hobbies, wishes made that year, and even small details such as "likes blue wrapping paper", "does not eat nuts and candies" and "hopes to receive a mechanical deer that lights up".

The Heavenly Christmas Affairs Department must play the role of Santa Claus on Christmas Day, riding seven flying reindeer to deliver all the gifts to the designated recipients.

Not a single one can be missing.

If any gifts remain undelivered before the end of Christmas, the town inside Christmas Sphere Zero will materialize somewhere in reality, randomly teleport, randomly snow, and begin devouring nearby populations to make up for its losses.

Moreover, the number zero Christmas ball only devours those who make a wish.

According to research, the souls of those who have been devoured will also perish completely, and those who remain in the town are merely puppets living according to a predetermined program.

To contain it again, the town's population must be recounted, the last Christmas wishes left by the devoured creature must be compiled, and the corresponding number of gifts must be given out the following Christmas.

squeak--! ! !
At this moment, the leader of the [Angle Grinder] squad lowered his mask, gripped the Holy Relic Grinding Wheel with both hands, and skillfully and quickly cut along the edge of Vijes's avatar.

Squeak squeak squeak!!
There was no blood and flesh flying, nor any divine bones breaking.

Vijes's face turned deathly pale instantly. The grinding wheel had struck the point where her avatar was connected to the "Goddess of Death, Vijes."

When Vijess was released from her immobilization, she had lost most of her divine power. At this moment, the two squads quickly vacated the battlefield—the Seventh Hero had returned to reinforce.

Seeing Vijess stripped of her divine status by the two burial squads, the Seventh Hero directly beheaded her with a single sword strike.

The two burial teams didn't care who got the head; they just needed to carry out the orders from heaven.

The last two powerful gods fared even worse; all of their own forces on the celestial fortress ganged up on them and beat them up.

The three heroes took to the field, and the vice principal and the commander of the Imperial Guard led the thirteen leaders of the Court Legion in a team-building activity, while the Titans bombarded the area from the sidelines, and the Sky's ships occasionally fired cannons.

Xia Xiu and the second swordsman would occasionally unleash their great spiritual power, directly crushing the barrier of their status that they had painstakingly erected.

Under such a righteous onslaught, the two of them were quickly defeated.

[Weak-level Divine unit: Anastasia, confirmed destroyed.]

[Medium-level Divine Power Unit: Hextor, confirmed destroyed.]

[Medium-level Divine Power Unit: Thunder Duke, confirmed annihilated.]

[Medium-level Divine Power Unit: Vizes, confirmed annihilated]

[Powerful divine unit: Magrubi, confirmed annihilated.]

[Powerful divine unit: Gewush, confirmed annihilated.]
