Transcending Godhood: I Extract Keywords and Crush the Gods

Cheng E stopped ten steps away and did not approach further.

He was inwardly amazed.

A few days ago, outside the ancient post station, he witnessed Chu Xiaoxiao turn three classmates into mechanical puppets.

The methods, the scheming, the ruthlessness beneath that seemingly harmless facade really intimidated him.

He had assumed that this woman was the main force against Lin Yuan.

He sent Chu Xiaoxiao to fight Lin Yuan to the death, while he hid in the shadows and fished in troubled waters.

did not expect.

In just a few days, this woman has become this inhuman, ghostly figure.

Chu Xiaoxiao heard the sound of the coin flipping.

She struggled to lift her head, her gaze passing over the mess on the ground and landing on Cheng E.

The dark gray lines under his eyes faded slightly, and his gaze regained a brief clarity.

A final burst of energy before death.

She looked at Cheng E, without screaming or making any defensive gestures.

Leaning back in his chair, he forced a weak and helpless smile.

"What?" Chu Xiaoxiao's voice was hoarse, revealing deep exhaustion. "Did you come to see me make a fool of myself?"

"You look quite funny right now." Cheng E tossed a coin and caught it with a snap.

"At least I got a top-tier identity in the third tier at the start, but I ended up turning myself into a madman who only knows how to make money."

Cheng E clicked his tongue again.

When the identity cards were being distributed inside the Rubik's Cube, there was a warning message displayed on the light screen.

This woman has a brain but doesn't use it; she's let greed consume her divine fire.

How exactly are the credits for this thing listed above mine?

Cheng E tried to justify himself in his mind.

Chu Xiaoxiao's divine domain is [Mechanical Plague], which excels in infiltration, group battles, and assimilation.

They have a natural advantage when pushing through other planes. It's normal for them to have higher academic credits than themselves.

Chu Xiaoxiao listened to Cheng E's sarcasm without refuting it.

She felt very tired.

The venom of greed within the body is only temporarily dormant, and it could launch a final counterattack at any time.

She looked down at her hands, which were covered in blood.

What will happen to the gods if they fall into the Rubik's Cube world?

Did the divine fire dissipate and cause immediate death, or did it completely spiral out of control, transforming the body into a monster that only knew how to kill and devour?

In this Rubik's Cube world, greed is the shackle set by the underlying rules.

The more she possessed, the tighter the shackles tightened.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Chu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes; she didn't want to struggle anymore.

Cheng E frowned as he looked at Chu Xiaoxiao's demoralized appearance.

Does this woman want to die?

What will I do if she dies like this?

Cheng E had just been to the edge of the Central Plains a couple of days ago. He witnessed firsthand how Lin Yuan's Bloodline Army advanced.

Blood-slaughtering infantry forming an ironclad square, swarms of mutated demonic bats covering the sky, and liquid gold crabs destroying the foundation.

There is also a six-winged insect king that hangs high in the sky and controls the entire situation through a mental network.

One after another, the indigenous cities in the Central Plains collapsed, and Lin Yuan's military strength increased exponentially.

In just a few more days, Lin Yuan will have swept through the Central Plains and will then divide his forces into several routes to expand outwards.

The far north, the southern wilderness, and the eastern sea are all within the range of this abnormal attack.

Cheng E alone cannot stop them.

I thought Chu Xiaoxiao was a talented person who could rally an allied army to take the blame.

I never expected that he would become such a talented person.

Cheng E sighed.

He still had to rely on this woman to be cannon fodder.

"Vice squad leader, don't be so eager to die." Cheng E stuffed the coin into his pocket, put his hands in his pockets, and said, "I have a plan that can save your life."

Chu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, but didn't say anything, just quietly looked at him.

"I specialize in the curse-killing system," Cheng E said calmly. "I can cast a [Soul-Devouring Blood Curse] on you."

"This thing will continuously devour your divine power, bringing you extreme pain."

Cheng E pointed to his head.

"Pain is the best medicine for staying awake. It helps you suppress your desires and regain control of your body."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Of course, it's just a temporary fix, a drop in the ocean."

"But it's better than you turning into a puddle of mud right now."

After hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao let out a low, cold laugh.

"A curse?" She stared into Cheng E's eyes. "Who knows what you're up to?"

"I'm entrusting my life to you, so you can crush me at any time."

She leaned on the armrest, sat up straight, and her eyes held a hint of mockery.

"You're so kind, why don't you come over and let me mechanically infect you?"

"With you, I can still survive."

Upon hearing this, Cheng E immediately took three steps back.

He had personally witnessed how this woman turned Zhou Yan and the others into lumps of iron.

What if she had anticipated this and deliberately lured me closer?

Or perhaps mechanical deities were already lying in ambush around the main hall, and as soon as he approached, those iron lumps would pounce on him and explode with a bang.

He died here, who can he complain to?

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Cheng E's cautious movements, and the mockery in her eyes deepened.

"That's all there is to it." Chu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said disdainfully, "I thought you were hiding in the shadows, so mysterious and powerful. Turns out you're nothing special."

Cheng E's face darkened.

He was very unhappy to be looked down upon by a madman who was on the verge of losing control.

"Take it or leave it." Cheng E snorted coldly, turned around and pretended to leave. "I came here to help you. If you don't want it, I'll leave now. Anyway, I won't lose out."

He turned his head and glanced at Chu Xiaoxiao out of the corner of his eye.

"I was third before. Now that you're out, I can at least rightfully compete for second place. That's even better than before."

Chu Xiaoxiao watched Cheng E's retreating figure without saying a word to stop him.

She could feel the venom of greed deep within her consciousness boiling over once more.

Grayish-black lines ran down her neck and climbed all the way to her cheeks.

The brief resurgence is coming to an end.

She is not reconciled.

She put in so much effort to earn 18,900 points.

She didn't want to be eliminated from this Rubik's Cube world in such a humiliating way.

At worst, I'll just...

A crazy idea took shape in her mind.

"Wait a minute," Chu Xiaoxiao said.

Cheng E stopped and turned around.

"I agree." Chu Xiaoxiao leaned back on the throne, closed her eyes, and said, "Come on."

Cheng E did not approach.

He stood still, raised his right hand, and a dull gray coin materialized at his fingertips.

"Bear with it, vice squad leader."

Cheng E flicked his finger, and the coin sank into Chu Xiaoxiao's forehead.

"ah--"

Chu Xiaoxiao looked up and let out a scream.

The Soul-Devouring Blood Curse entered her body and took root in her divine fire.

The barbs devoured her divine power, transforming it into excruciating pain that tore at her soul.

This pain far exceeds the limits of physical injury.

Chu Xiaoxiao tumbled off the throne and crashed heavily onto the jade steps.

She curled up in a ball, her hands gripping the ground tightly, her broken fingernails drawing bloody streaks on the jade.

pain!It hurts so much!

With each breath, there was the illusion that the divine fire was being torn apart.

But Cheng E was not lying.

Stimulated by the excruciating pain, part of the venomous lust that was about to engulf her was forced back.

Her consciousness, amidst this inhuman torture, briefly regained clarity.

"Give up..."

Deep within the sea of ​​consciousness, a seductive voice echoed.

"Why endure this suffering? If you obey me, the entire Golden Toad City, all its wealth, and all its power will be yours..."

"Sink into it, Chu Xiaoxiao. Sinking into it will bring endless pleasure."

Greed was tempting her.

The body is suffering from the torment of the curse.

A clear mind was torn between the two, teetering on the brink of collapse.

Chu Xiaoxiao lay on the ground, her body soaked in cold sweat and blood.

She knew the curse wouldn't last long.

Once she gets used to the pain, or her divine power is completely devoured, greed will completely take over her body.

She only has this one chance.

Chu Xiaoxiao's will reached an unprecedented level of firmness at this moment.

She bit her tongue, and with the last vestiges of clarity, she formed a hand seal.

The divine power within her bypassed the curse's blockade and surged toward the core of her divine realm.

Divine Art: [Mechanical Plague - Assimilation].

This time, her target was none other than herself.

It was herself.

"You're insane!" The seductive voice screamed from within my mind.

Chu Xiaoxiao ignored her. Her eyes were filled with utter determination.

A stream of silvery-black data erupted from her divine fire core, spreading rapidly throughout her body along her meridians.

Inside the main hall, Cheng E stared wide-eyed at Chu Xiaoxiao lying on the ground.

He saw that Chu Xiaoxiao's blood-stained hands were losing color at a visible rate.

The skin hardens and transforms into a silvery-black metal.

"This..." Cheng E gasped, his steps involuntarily taking another step back.

He was stunned.

You can even play like this?

He could understand using mechanical plagues to contaminate others and turn them into obedient puppets.

But how can someone pollute themselves?

This is cutting off your own escape route!

Once mechanization is complete, all emotions, desires, and even the instincts of living beings will be completely erased.

She will become a machine that only knows how to execute low-level logic.

The metallization process is extremely fast.

From the hands, to the arms, and then to the torso.

Chu Xiaoxiao's luxurious dark gold dress was torn and ripped.

What was exposed was a layer of silver-black metal armor that perfectly conformed to the body's curves.

Her long hair transformed into fine, dense metal wires, cascading down her back.

The dark gray lines of greed crumbled inch by inch under the corrosive influence of the metal, turning into nothingness.

Even the [Soul-Devouring Blood Curse] that Cheng E injected into her body was forcibly assimilated by that domineering data stream, turning into a bunch of useless gibberish.

The pain disappeared.

Greed has disappeared.

Chu Xiaoxiao slowly stood up from the ground.

She turned around and faced Cheng E.

That alluring face is now completely covered by cold metal.

There was no emotional fluctuation.

There was no outward expression of emotion.

Greed, fear, and pride—all vanished at this moment.

She is now a true mechanical deity.

Cheng E stood still, his Adam's apple bobbing.

He felt an indescribable sense of oppression, which did not come from the crushing power of realms or the difference in strength.

The absolute rationality and ruthlessness emanating from the creature before me.

What can't a person who can so readily suppress their own emotions do?

Chu Xiaoxiao raised her right hand.

The metal fingers gently pinched the air.

"Buzz—"

Outside the main hall, ripples spread through the space.

Thirteen powerful auras descended simultaneously.

Thirteen mechanical deities at the fifth-level demigod stage surrounded the city lord's palace from four directions.

Sun Ying, Zhao Kuo...

These former classmates all lit up their red mechanical eyes, locking onto Cheng E inside the main hall.

If Chu Xiaoxiao had the slightest thought, they would rush in and tear Cheng E to shreds.

Chu Xiaoxiao lowered her hand.

She looked at Cheng E, the synthesized mechanical voice echoing in the hall, cold and flat.

"bring it on."

"Let's discuss how to deal with Lin Yuan."

Cheng E sensed the thirteen menacing eyes outside locking onto him.

Looking at Chu Xiaoxiao, who was completely irrational and had transformed herself into a killing machine.

A fine layer of cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

The situation had completely spiraled out of Cheng E's control.

It seems he just released a monster from its cage with his own hands...
