I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

In an instant, the god's upper body turned to ashes and disappeared from the world. The lower body that remained was covered in charred wounds, with remnants of extinguished flames and lightning leaping on it, continuing to cause damage.

Chapter 284 The Uses and Importance of Divine Factors, Superb Control of the Extinct Beast (4K)

Through the holes in the walls pierced by the flames and lightning, Otogi Kagura saw the god-man, now only half-dead, and raised an eyebrow, saying:

"Was it resolved with a single blow?"

On the way here, Xue Jing had already explained to her that the naked pervert from earlier was actually a man-made divine biological weapon—a god-man.

As one of the very few people at the top of the pyramid on this planet, Otogi Kagura knows a great deal of secrets. Although she had never seen the 'god-people' before, she had some understanding of them.

The God-Man was created based on the blueprint of 'Adam the God-Child', and Adam was... a clone created from cells extracted from that thing.

This is the only result that humanity has obtained from 'that thing' so far... and for reasons still unknown, only one 'Adam' has been successfully cloned so far, and no second 'Adam' has been born since.

This is why one of the five laws of divine relics is that 'divine relics are unique and cannot be replicated'.

It's as if some unseen will or rule is preventing humanity from continuing to desecrate this sacredness.

The divine being is a product created from the flesh and blood of 'Adam', a secondary dilution of 'that thing'.

It's like dropping a drop of thick liquid into a glass of water to dissolve it, then taking another drop from that glass and pouring it into another glass of water.

In this way, through layer-by-layer attenuation, the sublime and unusable elements contained in 'that thing' are diluted into 'divine factors' with many wonderful uses.

Advanced products and technologies such as immortality surgery, breaking limits to the extreme, and divine heterologous bodies are all the result of the development of divine factors.

Therefore, although Adam, the Son of God, is only ranked 023 in the sequence of divine relics, his importance to mankind is enough to rank him in the top ten.

This is also why the New Beiyang Council still ranks first in the world in terms of national power... They have custody of the divine child Adam.

Although the New Beiyang Council could not completely monopolize the divine factors due to the threats from major powers and had to distribute them to various countries according to their quotas each year, they themselves still enjoyed the largest share of the divine factors.

And such an important divine factor, as its direct carrier, makes the divine beings extraordinary beings.

Otogi Kagura had already experienced it firsthand; if Xue Jing hadn't intervened in time, she would have already perished.

But such an existence was nothing more than something that could be annihilated with a single blow in front of Xue Jun…

"Do not."

Xue Jing opened the panel and glanced at it, but there were no prompts.

"I didn't kill them... Why do I keep encountering these cockroach-like things?"

Slightly helpless, he waved his hand, and a massive amount of black energy in the shadows transformed into a large swath of black flames, burning towards the remaining lower half of the divine being's body.

If the panel doesn't show any indication that the enemy isn't dead, then they're not dead. Although I don't know what kind of fancy survival abilities this enemy has, it's always the right thing to do to completely erase any trace of their existence with the annihilation effect of Shadowflame.

Just as a large swath of black flames surged forth, about to engulf the god's lower body...

Suddenly, it stood up, flapping its legs, and like a pair of boulders, charged towards Xue Jing at an incredible speed.

"Ok?"

Xue Jing tilted his head.

The surging black flames couldn't keep up with its speed, and soon it approached Xue Jing, leaping up and kicking him.

"What kind of illusion are you having..."

Xue Jing stretched out one hand and precisely caught the kicking right foot.

"Anyone who dares to get close to me?"

The powerful force circulated, and the thunder and flames boiled in the cauldron.

Like tossing noodles, the Hidden Dragon Style unleashed its strongest burst combo attack, slamming the god's remaining lower body hard onto the floor.

"boom!!"

With a violent explosion, the entire building shook several times. The lower half of the god-man's body, like a plastic bag filled with golden blood, was smashed open, splattering blood and flesh all over the surrounding dozens of meters.

A massive swarm of black flames surged forward, covering all the shredded flesh and blood, sparing not a single drop, and annihilating it all into nothingness.

"Wow..." Otogi Kagura involuntarily raised her hands slightly, making a half-French military salute, and chuckled dryly.

I'm truly grateful to Xue Jun for sparing my life in the arena...

[Slaying a special creature possessing divinity grants +512 divinity]

Upon seeing the notification pop up on the panel confirming the death of the deity, Xue Jing remained silent. After briefly checking around and confirming that there was no one else on this floor, he immediately continued to break through the ceiling and advance to higher levels.

……

As time went by, Xue Jing rescued and killed his way through the area, and soon arrived at the floor belonging to Xu's Biotechnology.

He had only come here once on the surface, but in reality, he had secretly come three or four times, checking every single floor in great detail.

Therefore, he is extremely familiar with Xu's Biotechnology... Even long-time employees who have been here for ten or twenty years would probably find it hard to compare with him.

Following behind Xue Jing, Otogi Kagura inexplicably felt that ever since Xue Jing arrived at the 1002nd floor, he seemed to be at home. He knew the situation of the floor without even looking, and immediately went up after checking it at lightning speed, almost twice as fast as the previous floors.

Her expression was somewhat strange, but she didn't say much, simply following silently behind Xue Jing.

"Not many of Xu's Biotechnology's employees were evacuated. It seems the incident happened suddenly and the situation is very urgent."

Xue Jing used his mental visualization to examine the remaining life force on each floor and made some calculations.

Xu's Biotechnology has about 30 floors of its 100-story building used for various storage and experiments, and another 30 floors were purchased by wealthy individuals and remain vacant. It has about 12,000 permanent employees.

As Xue Jing ascended, he noticed that the number of people had decreased by about half compared to when he first arrived. The remaining half were either desperately trying to escape to the lower levels or helplessly waiting to die.

He kept a close eye on things, hoping to find Xu Mude and kill him on the spot if he did.

Xue Jing came with a legitimate reason this time. Xu Mude wanted to kill and rob Miss Wu's men, and the stolen goods were exactly what Miss Wu had specifically requested... If he was killed in retaliation, the Xu family would not be able to find any fault with him and would have to keep quiet about it.

However, he didn't have much hope of finding Xu Mude... After such a big incident, the leaders would definitely be the ones to leave first.

He guessed that the person had already run far away, probably among the first few hundred flying vehicles he saw leaving the skyscraper center when he came over.

Most of those left here to die are ordinary employees with no power or influence.

"boom--!!"

Just as Xue Jing was rescuing people and arrived at the 1093rd floor, he heard a huge explosion.

A figure was rapidly retreating in the distance, crashing through more than a dozen walls before flying out of the skyscraper's center and falling to the ground.

In a fleeting glimpse, Xue Jing saw the exact shape of the figure that flew away.

Despite being covered in blood, severely injured, and missing limbs, he quickly recognized the man as one of the few people who had made him feel dangerous when he infiltrated the area—a security guard from Xu's Biotechnology.

Currently, Xu's Biotechnology's security forces are probably not much left, since most of them were taken by Xu Wenkui to ambush and kill him.

Basically, they were either killed by him or drained dry when Xu Wenkui went berserk due to his mutation.

Xue Jing followed the path the man had taken as he flew backward.

Amidst the violent tremors, resembling an earthquake, three figures were engaged in battle in the air.

The one being besieged was completely naked, and his face was extremely similar to Xu Mude's, just like the two divine beings they had encountered before. He was clearly also a divine being.

Otogikara followed closely behind Xue Jing, and her gaze immediately sharpened as she looked in the direction Xue Jing was looking.

"Onii-chan, that amazing person is suspicious... completely different from the two we encountered before."

She possessed superhuman intuition and immediately sensed a terrifying danger emanating from the divine being in the air.

"Onii-chan..." Xue Jing glanced at her, slightly speechless.

From calling him "Brother Xue Jing" to "Brother Jing" and then directly "Onii-chan," the level of intimacy in their address jumped three levels in a short period of time. This nonchalant and audacious ability to push his luck reminded him of his little apprentice.

"What should we do, Nini (Nini is a very affectionate term of endearment for an older brother in Japanese, usually used by very young children)?"

Otogi Kagura spoke with a hint of worry in her voice.

Xue Jing: "..."

He skipped four levels in a row.

"Alright, leave it to me, don't say anything."

Xue Jing waved to her.

He was genuinely afraid that the next thing this person would say was "husband."

At this moment, the divine being in the air, with an innocent expression, waved his hands to the left and right, like two oars, creating ripples in the air and making a buzzing sound.

The next moment, the shaking of the entire floor intensified, the ground and walls cracked and shattered everywhere, and the two figures fighting in the air were hit by something, immediately spitting out a lot of blood and flying backward like cannonballs.

"Oh? Is it a special individual?"

Xue Jing narrowed his eyes slightly.

This move is clearly not a physical attack; it's more like some kind of superpower.

This should be the special individual with extraordinary abilities among the gods that Xu Wenkui mentioned.

"It should be the culprit causing the tremors at the center of the skyscraper. It looks like some kind of ability to transfer kinetic energy out of thin air, and it's very difficult to defend against..."

After a moment's thought, Xue Jing had an idea and felt confident that he could deal with this thing.

He turned to look at Otogi Kagura and said:

"Find a place to hide yourself. I don't have time to cover your identity anymore."

The Shadow Flame will dissipate after it leaves Xue Jing's main body for a certain distance, and he cannot guarantee that he can maintain the Shadow Flame Armor on Otogi Kagura indefinitely.

Upon hearing this, Otogi Kagura spoke gently:

"Don't worry about me, Xue Jun. Just do what you want to do."

Xue Jing nodded, then waved his hand, causing the shadow flames binding Otogika Kagura's armor to dissipate, revealing her beautiful and charming true face.

"I wish you good luck in martial arts."

Otogi Kagura held her hands to her chest and spoke softly.

Xue Jing did not reply, but turned to look at the divine being in the air who once again stretched out his hands, creating ripples in the air.

"So first of all... we can't let it continue to destroy the skyscraper center, we need to find a new battlefield."
