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

Visibly, Gu Xu's professional panel was jumping wildly, and the numbers related to strength on the panel seemed to have been completely unrestricted, climbing at an incredible speed.

[Ding! Successfully devoured the ancient pseudo-god-level creature: Devourer Zogra (projection)!]

[Gain permanent boosts to all attributes: Constitution +10000, Spirit +10000, Strength +10000, Agility +10000.]

Four ten thousand.

This number, if applied to any professional in the Blue Star plane, would be enough to drive someone to utter madness.

It should be noted that even among Origin-level experts, those whose single attribute can exceed five digits are extremely rare.

Gu Xu, on the other hand, received a permanent boost of 10,000 points to each of his four attributes in one go.

A surge of immense power, so powerful it made his soul tremble, flowed into his body, and Gu Xu could feel every cell in his body being reshaped.

Flesh and blood, bones, meridians—everything evolves under the influence of this force.

But this is not all.

At the same moment his attributes surged, Gu Xu felt something awakening deep within his soul.

That feeling was very strange.

It was as if a key was slowly inserted into a rusty old lock.

Then, with a gentle turn.

"Click".

A remarkably clear sound echoed in the depths of his consciousness.

[Ding! Fragments of an ancient puzzle have been detected in the higher-dimensional source!]

[Recycling in progress...]

[Recycling complete!]

[The old jigsaw puzzle (4/???) has been returned to its original place!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the ancient authority—Dimensional Devouring (Conceptual Level)!]

[Effect: Actively erodes and devours the rules of the target's dimension. The devoured dimensional rules will be converted into your Calamity Power reserves. When used on lower-dimensional beings, it can directly erase the fundamental rules governing their existence, causing them to perish at the conceptual level.]

Gu Xu gazed at the description of this new skill with eyes full of divinity.

At this moment, I don't have many feelings in my mind.

Because these things were his authority in themselves, but now they have been returned to him.

Just as he was thinking of going downstairs.

Above the heavens, the chewing sounds from the abyss finally ceased.

The last trace of dark red energy was completely devoured.

That once enormous, high-dimensional projection that obscured the entire starry sky vanished completely at this moment.

The shattered cosmos was once again exposed to the world of Earth's inhabitants.

The dark red haze that once loomed overhead has truly disappeared.

Instead, there is a deep galaxy.

The aftershocks of the battle were quickly dissipating.

The earth no longer trembled, and the ocean no longer surged.

The oppressive pressure from the higher dimensions that had made it hard for everyone to breathe also receded quickly, like the tide going out.

The seven demigods, who were flying north at full speed, stopped almost simultaneously.

Wang Cang was covered in blood, his arms were still trembling, and his domain was almost shattered into pieces.

He looked up at the colossal Cthulhu figure in the sky, and at the reappearance of the starry heavens.

"You won?"

Old Ge's voice came from the side, somewhat hoarse and uncertain.

"We won."

Tang Yi took over the conversation.

The moment those two words were uttered, everyone felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from their hearts.

For some reason, at that moment, they felt a lump in their throat and their eyes welled up with tears.

In a short time, seven elderly people who had been guarding their respective fields for decades came together.

At that moment, they all looked up at the sky for a long time.

"Hahaha!"

After a long while, a laugh came from Wang Cang's mouth.

The laughter was so unrestrained and exuberant, as if the whole body relaxed and all the taut strings snapped at once.

He smiled, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Wang Cang's loud laughter seemed to bring the others back to their senses, and they, like Wang Cang, laughed heartily.

The pilots in the fighter jet formation behind also saw this scene.

The communication channels were like boiling water.

"Hahaha... We won!! We won!"

"We survived! Brothers, we survived!"

"Commander Gu has won!!!"

The channel completely exploded. Hundreds of voices flooded in simultaneously—crying, laughing, shouting, yelling—all mixed together, making it impossible to distinguish one person from another.

In a more distant place, all the living people on the entire planet Earth erupted in thunderous cheers at that moment.

The same voice echoed in every city, in every place where people still live.

Countless people rushed out of shelters and houses, looking up at the sky and shouting at the top of their lungs.

Some people were crying, some were laughing, some were kneeling on the ground with their hands clasped together, and some were hugging the people next to them and crying loudly.

This war, which concerned the very survival of this plane, has come to an end.

……

Above the sky, Gu Xu felt the overflowing power within his body after Zogra's projection was completely devoured, and slowly retracted his true form.

The colossal, psychic figure of Cthulhu began to shrink.

The tentacles closed, the body retracted, and those dark, sky-covering limbs gradually dissipated into the air.

The divine state has been lifted.

Gu Xu's figure returned to human form.

He hovered high in the sky, his black hair blowing back in the wind.

But unlike before, he did not feel weak at all.

Under normal circumstances, after the divine state is lifted, there will be a period of exhaustion for a considerable period of time.

Previously, he needed a considerable amount of time to recover after each use.

But this time...

Absolutely not.

The high-dimensional energy carried by the Zogra projection was transformed and fed back into his body after being swallowed by the mouth of the abyss.

This energy not only replenished all his previous consumption, but also had a large surplus.

At this moment, the power within him was at an unprecedented level.

It's even stronger than before the battle started.

It's become so much stronger.

"This power? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"

Gu Xu clenched his fist, feeling the earth-shattering power surging through his veins.

To be honest, this feeling... is a bit intoxicating.

But he didn't dwell on it for long.

Because there is still one person on the ground beneath their feet.

……

On the ruins of the city of eternal winter.

Munedimi stood on the shattered ground, most of his aura had dissipated.

Although the Domain of Calamity shrank after the battle, its suppression of him still remained.

He looked up at the shrinking black figure in the sky.

His entire face was filled with disbelief.

It's lost. The master's projection has actually failed.

How is that possible?

Admittedly, he knew it was just a projection.

When the power of its master, Zogra, descended into this lower-dimensional plane, it was suppressed too much by the rules.

The power projected here is probably less than one ten-thousandth of the original body's power.

Even if it's only one ten-thousandth, it's still the power of Zogra, the Lord of Dimensions!
