Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 943, Second Stage: The Deployment of God-Slaying Weapons
Xia Xiu didn't speak, but silently reached out and took the horn.

wow~
A dazzling light suddenly burst forth behind him, not from an external energy system, but from the true ignition of the crown element hidden deep within him.

Three pure white halos quietly unfolded, as if carved from mutton-fat jade. Each halo was steady and solemn, like the seal of an ancient god, or the eternal sundial on the dome of a temple.

The light was not dazzling, but it was so intense that it seemed to burn through one's very soul.

At the center where the three rings intersect, streaks of golden-red runes emerge, burning like the grains of a solar magnetic storm, emitting a slight hissing sound in the air.

Xia Xiu felt the [solar element] within his body surging wildly into the horn in his hand, and the horn began to tremble violently.

[Jormungandr] then trembled slightly, and a deep rumble came from its depths, like a sleeping beast finally awakened by the ignited flames of the sun.

The projector's interface then jumped, and the entire screen glowed with a golden light:
[Helios System - Starting Up...]

[Spark circuit switching complete—]

[Current Status: Helios - Corona Mode]

In an instant, the red and blue sparkle paint that had covered the train's fuselage began to flow and melt away, eventually being replaced by streaks of gold that formed an intricate sunburst emblem. Golden heat waves spread along the armor's surface, like molten lava piercing through cast iron, or like light flowing into the spine of a god.

The front-end iridescent conversion device rose again, but this time, it did not spew out a straight beam of energy—instead, it emitted "spheres of light".

[Corona Ejection]

With each rotation of the rainbow light, a blazing white sphere of light would condense at the center. These spheres of light surged in the air like fragments of the sun, one after another, shooting out from the rainbow device, as if throwing miniature stars onto the earth's surface, illuminating the void and igniting the mortal world.

Each sphere of light possesses the physical energy to shatter a medium-sized island.

At the etheric level, they are catalyzed by the will of the Spark system, transforming into strikes that penetrate the spirit, divinity, and existence.

The Star Beast is currently in the concentrated attack zone of those light orbs.

Its body remained still at first, while the dark, rotating cavern in its chest and abdomen continuously swallowed the incoming orbs of light.

Its body is like a perpetually unsaturated black abyss, capable of silently absorbing all attacks.

But this time... its black throat seems to have ingested something unclean.

Then... the beast ate seven of these unclean things.

Gudong~~~
The moment the seventh orb of light was swallowed.

The hollow in the chest and abdomen of the [Star Beast] was no longer calm. In that dark abyss, like a collapsed star field, an unstable silver-blue crack suddenly appeared, like a leak of some kind of overpressure energy exploding at the boundary of the star.

Silver-blue light slowly seeped out from the crack, and the space began to hiss.

Visible ripples swirled and surged around the void, like a high-pressure space furnace about to explode, causing even the boundaries of reality to tremble at that moment.

He launched a new counterattack, but the massive force field on Jormungandr in his corona form directly withstood the opponent's repeated attacks.

Moreover, under the pilot's control, Jormungandr hovered tens of thousands of miles above the beast, while the Calamity ability continued to fall.

This forces the beast to keep [Blackthroat] running at all times.

Xia Xiu exploited the fact that the beast could not move, relentlessly tormenting it and using his air superiority to wear it down.

Even with the Spark System activated, Jormungandr can only maintain a strategic stalemate with the ferocious beasts below.

This is not what Heaven wants. If the planetary engines cannot be installed, then Operation Kick-Off cannot be fully implemented.

So now we've moved on to the next phase of the crackdown.

For this operation, the Kingdom of Heaven brought out several of its most treasured items from its arsenal.

At this very moment, the [Triple Crown] behind Xia Xiu in the cockpit is frantically dissipating heat, emitting a hissing sound.

"Jormungandr's beam abilities are indeed very energy-intensive," he remarked, echoing the sentiment of the Ninth Champion.

Then, he looked up at the notification coming from Eden above his head:
[Gravity boundary perturbation anomaly]

[Elevation of the etheric contamination threshold]

[The enemy's Ethereum floating-point operation efficiency has decreased—]

[Contamination levels in enemy territory are decreasing—]

[Preparing to deploy weapons in the deity-targeting sequence—]

"Prepare... for the next round of firepower." Xia Xiu muttered. "Then let me see the trump card that the Heavenly Kingdom's arsenal has prepared for this war."

As soon as he finished speaking, the main armory deep within Jormungandr began to stir.

The weapon pod located beneath the central track of the train cracked open, and four folding arms made of heavy cast iron and Mimu runes slowly lifted a black alloy cylinder out from within.

It is sealed within layers of inscribed armor woven from reverse-mother ink and silver patterns. The surface is not covered with paint, but rather with a set of prayer texts that form a matrix.

This is a war relic from the Heavenly Kingdom Armory, numbered [TMB-013 Godslayer Weapon Series: Magic Modified Bomb].

It quietly floats on the lifting platform in the middle of the train, and the high-energy anchor net around it automatically opens to release Hume static pressure waves to prevent background pollution waves from escaping to the entire train during its self-starting process.

On the control panel, a red warning box appeared on Eden's main interface:

-

【warn! 】

You are trying to unlock the Thaumic Modulation Bomb (TMB).

Current operational phase: CODE—[Helios - High Risk Phase]
The resolution assembly has authorized the one-time unsealing of the Heavenly God-Slaying Weapon series weapon: TMB-013.

+Weapon Specifications Writing+
Thaumic Core: Stores 32 high-density Mimu rune chains. When triggered, they activate in a chain every 0.2 seconds, unfolding one by one to form a narrative "snapshot template".

Vector Cage: Uses 37 reverse-phase crystal anchors to form a 100-meter real-world independent zone to prevent resonance backtracking.

Wavefunction Showcase: Using a 7.6 GHz pulse, rune snapshots are expanded toward the target to construct a temporary baseline reality write protocol.

Annihilation Valve: Actively shuts down the system two minutes after the rune unfolds, releasing residual conceptual pressure and preventing secondary coupling feedback.

【Instructions for use】

The target range is forcibly isolated within the baseline reality constant band.

All inconsistent "abnormal codes" existing in this area will be judged as "illegal" by the logic of reality, triggering an implosive backlash;
The overall goal will experience a narrative collapse, not physical destruction, but "conceptual failure," which will be visually manifested as distorted goal boundaries, forgotten details, and loss of presence.

[Tactical Shooting - Current Positioning]

Target: [Star Beast]

Level Assessment: Quasi-Miracle/Narrative Contamination Source

Projection Plan Recommendation: After triggering a layered attack on it with the [Jormungandr] Rainbow Arsenal, connect [TMB-013] to execute the "Magic Rewrite Strike" to cause non-linear collapse.

-

At this moment, Xia Xiu stood in front of the projection table, his eyes flashing with restrained sharpness.

He didn't speak, but glanced at the black device that hovered quietly on the projection arm, as if pondering how to throw this taboo object of "words are death" into the vortex of reality.

The entire cockpit fell into absolute silence for a moment, with only the Eden system's soft voice prompts:
Please note: This device cannot be used in areas of unknown cosmic structure.

Unable to determine whether the [Star Beast] possesses multi-dimensional locking capabilities.

Please confirm whether you want to continue starting up...

[Hugh Abraham has confirmed the launch of the project—]

Then, the next instruction appeared:
[—Second Confirmation]

[This has been submitted by the Ninth Hero and signed on his behalf by an angel.]

[Projection ready!]

[Heavenly Arsenal - This weapon usage has been recorded!]

[Type: Magical Modified Bomb (TMB-013)]

[Activation Status: Authorization Passed · Resolution Meeting No. V-777]

[Note: This warhead belongs to the "Glass Cover Class" sub-category of characteristic weapons (because this warhead is a next-generation mass-produced god-slaying weapon developed during the Demon King's army era, it has been removed from the characteristic weapon sequence and transferred to the battlefield support sequence)] [Deployment and Security Protocols (Excerpt)]

[Dual-key interlocking: Both the resolution assembly and the ethics committee must sign off on it simultaneously;]

[Retrospective Audit: A cross-check conducted by the Archives and Information Security Administration, the Faculty of Mammal Studies, and the Faculty of Tactical Theology confirmed that no residual runes were leaked!]

The train trembled at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

The jet-black cylinder inside the Jormungandr train slowly rose, looking like some ancient and forbidden coffin of a deity, emanating an undeniable and abnormal weight in the air.

As the activation command was received, the locking beacon instantly synchronized. The train's energy core began to redistribute energy—the engine oscillation frequency was increased, the stabilizing anchor chain was pulled to its maximum strength, and the four crystal arms slowly opened, like locks binding a god, firmly supporting the black pillar.

At the same time, the eyes of the [Star Beast] in the distance slowly narrowed.

He noticed it.

That indifferent, human-like face tilted slightly, the silver-blue light within its hollow shimmering, as if sensing an unprecedented unease about the black device about to be projected.

[Inspection complete, anchor chain synchronized]

Rune Link

The annihilation valve is locked.

[Fictional channel activated - Constructing a snapshot of reality rewriting]

The air seemed to freeze for a second.

"Release them," Xia Xiu roared in a low voice.

Four black beams of light suddenly shot out from the lower part of the train, and four TMB bombs followed the etheric orbital channel, piercing straight towards the powerful monster under the starry sky.

The projectile automatically unfolded a rune array in mid-air—thirty-two high-density magical chains began to burn wildly, and the preparation for the explosion was no longer high temperature and shock, but a strike of narrative level.

The night was silent, and the train, ten thousand meters above the ground, was as still as a star.

The black cylinder slowly rose, the Mium Lock arms wrapped around it emitting a low, metallic wail. Four crystal anchor chains rose together, like symbols locking the celestial bodies. Moments later, the train's belly opened, and four silent shadows, like meteors, streaked across the night sky, falling towards the evil god below who was gazing up at the heavens.

On the ground, the [Star Beast] slowly raised its head.

For the first time, that cold, indifferent face seemed to finally reveal a slight...gaze.

Four "bombs" hurtled down, without any shockwaves or flashes of light; for a fleeting moment, it felt as if the world had been choked by something—

The wind stopped, and all was silent.

Then, the starry sky shattered.

Where they fell, the sky cracked like ice, and fragments floated, froze, and rolled back, forming bizarre geometric halos, like shredded cosmic fibers being pieced together again.

The next moment, four explosive points suddenly tore through space. There was no roar, only a soft "crack" sound, like bones breaking or time being crushed.

The first blow landed on the beast's left arm.

The arm, seemingly composed of mountains and stardust, trembled violently. It broke off from the knuckles, along the forearm, elbow, and humerus, all the way to the shoulder. The entire arm shattered like a glacier collapsing, and a radiant waterfall of light gushed from the broken end, pouring into the sky like a tide, illuminating the entire star field.

The second one followed immediately.

As the beast's right arm was torn apart by the explosion, it was as if it had been peeled off by an invisible hand. The finger pillars exploded, and the moonlight surrounding it danced wildly like torn ribbons, scattering across the sky.

The other two explosive points landed on his spine and side, and then...

The [Star Beast] was completely...

Destroyed!
However—just when Xia Xiu and the Ninth Hero thought the battle was over.

next moment.

Suddenly, all the senses experienced a kind of unsettling disorientation.

Xia Xiu was suddenly stunned.

He wasn't the first to notice something was wrong, but he sensed it most deeply.

The body did not move, but the heart suddenly pounded violently, as if some kind of calamity that was not allowed to be known had suddenly approached.

He instinctively turned his head, but saw nothing.

At the same time, a blurry figure quietly appeared behind him.

The Demon of Time – [Vasak].

It appears without being summoned.

It instilled a strong sense of unease directly into Xia Xiu's brain.

Xia Xiu's pupils contracted sharply, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind:
"Could it be the same type as Vasak...?"

Before his mind could even process what was happening, the world had already been rewritten.

It wasn't a vibration, nor an explosion, but some kind of irresistible overall slippage.

It was as if the entire canvas of the universe had been silently dragged along.

Even a war behemoth like Jormungandr seemed to suddenly derail in that instant. The entire train swayed slightly for a moment, and everyone—knights, officers, fire control systems, and even the rear monitoring center—lost synchronization with "themselves" in that instant.

Just like the film rewinding, everyone loses their memories of what happened before the rewind, except for Xia Xiu, who sees the reality of that rewind.

The sky is still burning.

But on the ground, the monster stood perfectly intact.

And those four magically modified bombs, which should have already exploded and shattered the evil god's arm, are falling again.

Same position, same angle.

The same.

The scene was like a frame that had been copied and pasted into reality.

But this time, the monster... moved.

It opened its arms.

The four main arms, like a cracked altar, slowly rise to the top of the head, with cascading drops of light sliding down from the fingertips, like starlight condensing into dew.

And His abdomen—that all-consuming void—began to slowly rotate.

Four more bombs hit.

Explodes again.

This time, although He was hit, His left arm was still blown apart, like a coastline collapsing and debris flying everywhere.

His right arm was also torn into pieces, radiating light, as if the very bones and blood of the deity were being forcibly stripped away.

But two of them—the crucial last two bombs—stopped abruptly just before reaching their detonation point.

Then they disappeared.

Yes, it simply disappeared.

They vanished into space so mysteriously, as if they had never been projected at all.

It was as if it had been quietly torn from the pages of history, leaving no trace.

Xia Xiu stared intently at this scene.
