The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

The next moment, Gu Xu reached out again.

The tentacles that were originally locked in a stalemate with the withered finger suddenly accelerated, like a giant spider web, tightly binding the mountain-like finger.

The suction cups frantically tore at the withered skin, while the teeth gnawed at the remaining divinity.

At this moment, the withered finger, which originally represented the erasure of everything, strangely showed a pitiful feeling of "helplessness" in front of those tentacles.

The ancient god's finger, tightly bound by tentacles, struggled for a few seconds before...

Finally, it could no longer withstand that frenzied, strangling force.

It was accompanied by a deafening roar that could shatter one's soul.

"Snap!"

That huge, withered finger was actually twisted into several pieces in mid-air by those tentacles!

Black divine blood rained down like stars in the sky, but before it even hit the ground...

It was quickly absorbed and devoured by the calamity domain below.

The sky returned to deathly silence.

However, the originally bright full moon was now permanently stained with a faint purplish-black color due to Gu Xu's presence.

Gu Xu looked away.

He slowly landed on the ground, and the tentacles and fleshy wings on his back did not disappear immediately, but swayed gently behind him like a skirt.

He glanced around at his surroundings.

Whether it was Yuri, who was critically injured and on the verge of death, or the geniuses from other countries who were too frightened to move, they all fell into a state of frenzy the moment they met Gu Xu's gaze.

His whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

The feeling was like an animal encountering its natural enemy; the instinct deep within their souls prevented them from even pleading for mercy.

Lei Zhen and Qin Shuyao were standing not far behind Gu Xu at this moment.

Even his former teammates now looked at Gu Xu with a sense of unfamiliarity and awe.

And the same thought popped into their minds at the same time.

Is this General Gu's peak power?

"General...?"

After a long while, Lei Zhen swallowed and tentatively called out.

Gu Xu turned his head and his gaze fell on Lei Zhen.

In that one glance, Lei Zhen felt as if the blood in his body had stopped flowing.

Even if he was usually very brave, he felt his own insignificance when facing Gu Xu, who was in a godlike state at this moment. His legs went weak and he almost knelt down.

"General...General, it's...it's me, I'm Lei Zhen!"

Yes, at this moment, Lei Zhen felt that he was really going to die, and whispers kept running through his mind.

On the verge of death, he immediately looked away.

That's how he managed to escape danger.

The others followed suit, quickly kneeling down and bowing their heads, only then feeling as if they had come back to life.

At this time, the core area of ​​the Silver Moon Flower Garden had been completely reduced to ruins.

The ground looked as if it had been repeatedly crushed by countless heavy bulldozers, and was covered with crisscrossing deep trenches.

The originally silvery moonlight was tainted by Gu Xu's aura of calamity, and the entire space was filled with a oppressive purplish-black mist.

The soil was mixed with ice shards and broken bones.

The air was filled with a nauseating smell of blood.

In the center of this desolate battlefield, only Gu Xu remained, standing silently.

At that moment, Gu Xu's gaze fell upon the muddy ground not far away.

There, in the land of the beacon, lived Caesar, a mythical genius known as the "Godslayer."

He collapsed to the ground, completely unaware of what was happening.

Caesar did not die, but his condition was worse than death.

Having witnessed Gu Xu's divine form firsthand, Caesar's reason had completely collapsed.

Dark purple blood kept gushing from his seven orifices, his body twitched slightly involuntarily, and he made meaningless hissing sounds from his throat.

That once handsome and arrogant face was now twisted beyond recognition, with his eyes rolling upwards.

It exuded an aura of decay and impending death.

Gu Xu felt no sympathy whatsoever.

Just now, if he hadn't had such a strong trump card, he would have been the one to be wiped out by that Old God's Finger.

Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself—a principle he understood from the very first day he entered the world of job changers.

Moreover, Caesar is a trump card that the United States has nurtured with all its resources.

Gu Xu would never do something as foolish as letting a tiger return to the mountain.

More importantly, his third-tier world-destroying quest, "Hymn of Calamity," requires him to devour the last prodigy with divine abilities.

Previously, on the frozen winter plains, he devoured Augustus of the Church of Europa.

Just now, it swallowed Tyrese, the Lord of Fate, whole.

The task is two-half complete.

Now, the Calamity Pump is activated, and Devouring is refreshed once again.

Caesar, the man who claimed to have the authority to kill gods, was the final, perfect piece of the puzzle that willingly delivered himself to their doorstep.

Gu Xu flashed, without making a sound, and directly crossed a distance of dozens of meters, appearing behind the unconscious Caesar.

He looked down at his prey at his feet, his voice slowly echoing in the air: "I accept your divinity."

The moment the words fell, the void behind Gu Xu began to tremble violently once again.

Immediately afterwards, an enormous maw burst forth from the darkness without warning.

Lying in the mud, Caesar seemed to sense the approach of ultimate death even in his unconscious state.

His body convulsed even more violently, and his hands unconsciously dug at the soil on the ground.

Instinctively, I wanted to crawl forward and escape.

But locked in by the gaping maw of the abyss, the space around him seemed to have been cast into solid reinforced concrete.

He was firmly imprisoned in place, and even moving a finger became a luxury.

There was no further struggle, nor any piercing screams.

The abyss's gaping maw lunged forward, its enormous shadow instantly engulfing Caesar's body before swallowing him whole, armor and all.

Accompanied by the sickening sounds of bones cracking and flesh being chewed, this man, the focus of the nation's attention, was regarded as the nation's future hope and a chosen one.

It has completely disappeared from the world.

The moment the devouring was complete, a system notification sounded in Gu Xu's mind.

[Ding! Target successfully devoured!]

[Ding! Conceptual-level plundering activated! Congratulations, host, you have acquired a new talent—Divine Authority Deprivation!]

[Ding! The progress of the third job advancement quest "Hymn of Calamity" - Devouring Divine Prodigies - has been updated to 3/3!]

[Phase 1 of the mission is complete!]

[Current mission progress: Hunting down divine prodigies (3/3), slaying false gods (0/1), the Domain of Calamity covers the Silver Moon Realm (incomplete).]

Gu Xu closed his eyes and felt a huge and pure energy rushing into his limbs and bones.

The slight mental fatigue caused by fighting against the finger of the old god was instantly swept away by this energy.

In his divine state, his body became more solid, as if there was a volcano about to erupt within him, containing unimaginable and terrifying explosive power.

He could even feel that with every move he made, he could easily tear apart the spatial barriers of this secret realm.
