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

Admittedly, Gu Xu had no idea what his brothers in the God-Slaying Army had gone through.

But at this moment, what he saw was a scene that would make any person with a conscience unable to breathe.

The earth was soaked in blood, and broken swords, tattered armor, and corpses torn to pieces by abyssal sea beasts were piled up haphazardly.

Gu Xu's gaze moved slowly, and he recognized several familiar faces.

The burly man lying not far away, with half his head gone, was the battalion commander of the Third Vanguard Battalion of the God-Slaying Army.

Not long ago, we were sitting on the beach having a barbecue and drinking, and we even had our arms around each other.

The young man who was pinned down by several low-level sea beasts and still clutched a dagger was a communications soldier.

The last time I saw him, he stammered as he greeted the Chief of Staff.

Now, they have all turned into lifeless chunks of flesh.

Gu Xu turned his gaze back and finally fixed it on Ji Wenzhou at the very front.

This once spirited deputy commander, an eighth-order quasi-saint, now resembles a broken puppet on the verge of falling apart.

Black, poisonous blood was still gushing out of the large hole in his chest as if it were free.

His face was paler than a dead person's.

He could only hold on by the dull blade in his hand, barely managing not to kneel down.

At this moment, Ji Wenzhou and the remaining soldiers of the God-Slaying Army below were still shouting with red eyes, urging Gu Xu to leave quickly.

Hearing these hoarse voices trying to dissuade him, Gu Xu suddenly felt his eyes getting hot.

He didn't say anything, but simply raised his hand and pressed it down.

As soon as this gesture was made, the remaining soldiers of the God-Slaying Army below seemed to have received a military order.

The sound stopped involuntarily.

Gu Xu looked at Ji Wenzhou, a somewhat awkward smile tugging at the corners of his mouth: "Deputy Commander Ji, take the brothers and rest for a while. You don't need to worry about what happens next."

"You guys just watch from here and see how I chop these scum into mincemeat."

After saying this, Gu Xu slowly turned his head and focused his gaze on Alaya opposite him again.

Until this moment, the anger that he had forcibly suppressed in his heart finally seemed to find an outlet, and it slowly seeped out through his eyes.

He took a step forward, his foot landing on the void.

It produced a dull, resonant sound.

Then, Gu Xu spoke, his voice colder than ever before: "Do you know what? Ever since I changed jobs, everything has gone smoothly for me."

"I kill wherever I go, and I'm usually all smiles and laughter. I've never really gotten angry, even when facing a demigod. I just treat it like playing with a dog."

"But today, you made me angry."

"So, you're not going to live today, and neither are the people you brought with you!"

Upon hearing Gu Xu's blunt, even arrogant, words, Alaya was stunned for a moment before raising her head and bursting into laughter.

His laughter echoed in the air, even stirring up a bloody gust of wind.

"Hahaha! This is really funny!"

"Human brat, do you think you can spout nonsense in front of me just because you have some meager tricks?"

Alaya seemed to have laughed enough. He lowered his head, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain: "Then I'm really curious, how did you, a little guy who hasn't even reached the Quasi-Saint level, manage to kill a demigod?"

At this point, Alaya paused, her mockery deepening.

"Of course, there's something you might not know before you take action."

"I feel I need to tell you this, so you can die knowing why."

Alaya deliberately raised her voice to ensure that everyone below could hear her clearly.

"You Divine Xia people still believe that our Forbidden Water Clan's all-out attack to tear apart the dimensional defenses is to seize your land resources and occupy your cities?"

Alaya shook her finger: "Wrong! Utterly wrong. We have only one goal in invading you."

That's you!

Upon hearing this, a suppressed commotion immediately arose from the previously quiet ranks of the God-Slaying Army below.

Ji Wenzhou suddenly raised his head, glaring angrily at Alaya in mid-air. He opened his mouth to curse, but because it aggravated his wounds, he could only cough violently.

Alaya ignored the reactions below and continued slowly, "So, it's true that we invaded, but the root of the problem lies with you. Because you possess what we need."

At this point, he pointed to the mountain of corpses below: "If it weren't for you, the East China Sea's defenses would never have been breached."

"If it weren't for you, these hundreds of thousands of Shenxia soldiers would still be drinking and eating meat in their barracks right now."

Finally, Alaya's voice suddenly rose: "It was you! You killed your brothers! You are the culprit behind this disaster!"

"They all died because of you!"

"Now that I've told you all this... what will you do?"

After saying this, Alaya looked at Gu Xu triumphantly.

He hoped to see that look of shattered faith on Gu Xu's face.

He wanted to see the young man weep uncontrollably, to see him lose his mind due to extreme guilt, and even break down and go crazy on the spot.

For demigods, killing is nothing more than a quick death, but destroying the spirit is the most satisfying.

Below, Ji Wenzhou finally caught his breath.

He knew all too well how damaging such words could be.

Gu Xu is a very sentimental guy, so if he really holds himself accountable for this mess...

A person's entire life could be ruined.

Ji Wenzhou disregarded his wounds and raised the broken sword, pointing it at Alaya in the sky and cursing loudly.

"Bullshit, you bastard!"

"Stop spouting nonsense, you unevolved seafood! We soldiers of Shenxia have it upon us to defend our homeland! If aliens invade, even if we die, we'll die on the front lines!"

Ji Wenzhou turned his head and shouted at Gu Xu in mid-air, "Gu Xu! Don't listen to this bastard's attempts to sow discord!"

"There isn't a single coward in our God-Slaying Army. Even if we were all wiped out, no one would blame you! If you believed his nonsense, you don't deserve to be our chief of staff!"

The surviving soldiers also joined in the shouting.

The scene suddenly became extremely tragic.

However, Gu Xu's reaction at this moment greatly exceeded Alaya's expectations. He did not burst into tears, did not break down, and did not refute Ji Wenzhou's words.

He simply stood there quietly, his expression remaining unchanged throughout.

There was no pain, no guilt.

He merely tilted his head slightly, looking at Alaya's self-satisfied face, and said calmly, "Are you finished?"

Alaya's smile froze, he frowned, and remained silent.

"Alright! Looks like you've finished your last words!"

"So... when others come to invade, I kill them to protect my home and country, which is a matter of righteousness! But since you came for me, killing you now is simply a matter of personal grudge."
