Transcending Godhood: I Extract Keywords and Crush the Gods

The third defense zone of the shattered continent was shrouded in gray fog.

The dark red soil on the ground was gradually covered by a layer of pale white slime.

The black, withered trees standing all around were wrapped in translucent spider silk as thick as an arm.

Lin Yuan hovered in mid-air, looking down.

Fifty thousand Abyssal Obsidian Goblins trudged through the sticky spider web, their bone armor scraping against each other with a teeth-grinding sound.

The power saw chain sword in his hand was kept running at a low idle speed, ready to be revved up at any time.

The tyrant walked at the very front of the procession.

It stopped and raised its left arm, which was covered by a heavy shield.

The 50,000-strong army stamped their feet in unison.

"Hiss—hiss—"

A dense, sharp whistling sound emanated from the withered trees in all directions.

Countless dark red compound eyes lit up in the gray mist.

Abyss Spider Demon.

Twenty thousand bronze-level spider demons, each the size of an adult water buffalo, surged out from the treetops, the ground, and rock crevices.

They wave their sharp, barbed limbs and contract their abdomens violently.

Behind the spider demon swarm.

A silver-level spider demon leader with three heads, the size of a heavy truck, and strange human face patterns on its back.

He coldly observed the group of outsiders who had trespassed into his territory.

Twenty thousand spider demons simultaneously raised their abdomens.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

A vast expanse of ghastly green poisonous nets shot into the sky, weaving together to form a colossal curtain that blotted out the sun, descending upon the goblin army.

This is the Abyss Spider Demon's signature strangulation formation.

The poisonous net has extremely strong adhesive and corrosive properties.

Even a tiny bit of the skin and muscles of an ordinary deity's retinue would turn into a pool of blood within seconds if it touched them.

Even the most powerful clans with their finely enchanted armor would be overwhelmed by such a massive poison network.

They should also temporarily avoid direct confrontation and rely on ranged magic to engage in a direct clash.

Lin Yuan remained expressionless, not even blinking.

"Let's fight."

A brief oracle exploded in the tyrant's mind.

"roar--!"

The tyrant roared to the sky, slamming his chain-sword heavily onto the ground.

Its intricate crimson patterns on its chest suddenly burst into bright light.

The runes on the chests of 50,000 goblins resonated simultaneously.

Visible blood-red energy threads weave and intertwine within the formation.

【Scarlet Link】Fully activated.

The life magnetic fields of 50,000 individual beings are stitched together into a whole of flesh and blood.

A ghastly green net of poison rained down, covering the bone armor of the thousands of goblins in the front row.

"Sizzle sizzle—"

A piercing corrosive sound rang out, and white smoke rose.

The expected screams of flesh melting away did not occur.

The horrific corrosive damage from the poisonous net occurs upon contact with the goblin's body.

The energy was distributed among the fifty thousand goblins, following the crimson connecting threads.

The damage inflicted on each individual was so great that it couldn't even break through the lower limit of the Black Blood Bone Armor's defense.

The thousands of goblins trapped in the poisonous net only shuddered slightly, tearing the spider silk off their bodies without a scratch.

The tyrant raised his chain sword and pulled down the engine pull ring.

"boom--!"

Fifty thousand individual powered chain saws simultaneously unleashed a deafening roar.

The high-speed rotating saw teeth churned up the air, sending up brutal sparks.

"Run it over," Lin Yuan ordered.

Fifty thousand goblins, braving their tattered alloy shields, marched in perfect unison, charging directly into the spider demon horde.

A bronze-level spider demon shrieked as it pounced on a goblin, its forelimbs stabbing viciously into the goblin's eye socket.

The goblin neither dodged nor evaded, but instead thrust his alloy tower shield upwards with his left hand.

"clang!"

Sparks flew as the spider's legs were forcefully wedged into the corroded pits of the tower shield.

The goblin flipped his right wrist, and the roaring chain sword slashed fiercely into the spider demon's soft abdomen from bottom to top.

"Sizzle!"

A mixture of acidic green bodily fluids and internal organs gushed out violently.

The goblin took a step forward and swung his chain sword horizontally, splitting the spider demon in two.

There was no tactical maneuvering, and no flashy magical support.

Only primitive hand-to-hand combat and brutal exchanges.

The abyssal spider's fangs pierced the goblin's arm, injecting deadly venom.

However, the goblins' genetically ingrained toxin resistance makes them immune to this level of toxin.

Not only that, the bitten goblin grabbed the spider demon's head, opened its blood-red maw, and bit off the spider demon's venom gland.

They devoured the spider demon's flesh and blood.

The high-energy monster flesh and blood were swallowed down the throat and quickly converted into physical strength to repair the damaged body.

Fight! Kill! Eat!

As the battle deepened, the three-headed silver-level spider demon leader finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Their bodies crushed the trees along the way and charged into the goblin formation.

A silver spider demon leader swung its three-meter-long forelimbs, easily slicing more than a dozen goblins in half at the waist.

But this only fueled the goblins' ferocity.

Hundreds of goblins, too badly wounded to survive even with the help of a link, had a crimson fanaticism erupt in their eyes.

They deliberately severed their "Crimson Link" with the main force.

[Boiled Blood Frenzy] activated.

Loss of pain sensation and a surge in strength.

The group of goblins, barely alive, threw away their shields, gripped their chain swords tightly, and charged towards the three-headed silver spider demon leader, stepping over the corpses of their companions.

They offered no defense, allowing the silver spider demon's limbs to pierce their bodies.

Then, they clung tightly to the spider demon's legs, abdomen, and even head.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of violent explosions resounded in the heart of the battlefield.

[Strong acid spontaneously explodes!]

Hundreds of high-ranking bronze goblins simultaneously self-destructed.

The internal organs reacted violently, and the large-scale corrosive acid turned into a ghastly green rainstorm.

The three-headed silver spider demon leader was completely submerged.

The strong acid melted the shells that the Silver Spider Demons were so proud of, and corroded their flesh.

"roar--!!"

The tyrant seized the opportunity and leaped high into the air.

He swung his giant chain-sword down hard on the head of a silver spider demon, which was riddled with holes from being corroded by strong acid.

"Click."

The skull was shattered, and dark green brain matter spilled out.

……

Star Harbour Plaza, atop the high platform.

In front of the holographic projection screen.

The military leaders and executives, who had been exchanging pleasantries and commenting on the performance of the sons of various conglomerates, fell silent.

Everyone stared intently at screen number 47, which had been magnified to the center of the screen.

That extremely brutal, bloody, and sanity-draining battle shocked the nerves of everyone present.

"hiss--"

The observer in charge of recording the data gasped, his voice hoarse: "This battle formation... demands an extremely high level of willpower from the believers."

"Even a well-trained regular army will experience instinctive fear and break formation when faced with massive casualties and a poison net covering them."

He pointed to the goblins in the picture who were frantically devouring the flesh and blood of the spider demons and launching suicide attacks.

"He can actually command a group of naturally chaotic mutated goblins with such precision? Even the timing of their self-destruction is so accurate!"

An executive from Xinghai Biotechnology stepped forward, placed his hands on the railing, and his eyes flashed with intense brilliance.

"It's more than just control." He stared intently at the crimson array flashing on the goblin's chest on the screen. "That's a military-issued E-rank skill card, [Blood Link]!"

"But this kid actually modified it into some kind of biological array that can be cut off and reassembled at any time!"

"Using cheap materials and the garbage-like laws of the wasteland, they forged a berserker legion whose individual soldier quality rivaled that of heavily armored elites, and who were fearless of death!"

The Xinghai executive turned to General Raymond and said urgently, "General Raymond, the cost-effectiveness of this army is terrifying."

"If we can crack his formula for modifying the clans, we can save at least 30% on annual military spending at the front lines!"

Beside him, a white-haired professor from a top university slapped his thigh, his beard trembling with excitement.

"It's wasteland flesh alchemy!"

The professor pointed at the screen, his voice booming, "You only see the cost-effectiveness; what I see is an incredibly terrifying talent for deduction!"

"The wasteland law is a dead end, but he didn't give up. Instead, he used the extremely harsh environment to forcibly force his clans to undergo genetic mutation!"

"He utilized the toxins and radiation of the abyss, and even the cannibalistic mechanisms of Gu poison, to complete a perfect closed loop of species evolution!"

The professor became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had already seen through Lin Yuan's trump card.

"This kid is a prodigy in bio-deduction! He's managed to create a combat power chain that transcends class limits with extremely low costs!"

"This kind of boundless imagination and execution ability is absolutely the most rare genius in the last decade!"

For a moment, the bigwigs on the platform began to imagine the scenario themselves.

Lin Yuan used the SSS-level talent [Creation Extraction] to awkwardly stitch together the modifiers, a cheat-like behavior.

In the eyes of these big shots who possess advanced knowledge, it is perfectly rationalized as "the ultimate wisdom and deductive talent".

After all, who would have thought that someone could extract concepts by ignoring the rules?

"With such deductive reasoning ability, what kind of monster could he create if given high-level resources?"

The Xinghai executive's breathing quickened. He tapped the terminal on his wrist and rapidly sent an encrypted message:

"Immediately retrieve all background information on Lin Yuan from Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School."

"Notify headquarters to prepare the highest-level recruitment contract. We must sign this poor kid before he gets trapped by the military!"

It's not just the Xinghai Conglomerate.

The observers from the other top universities, along with the Thunder Legion commander who had been watching from the sidelines, were all secretly sending out instructions.

A commoner deity with extraordinary deductive talent.

No background, no powerful connections.

This is a perfect piece of raw jade.

General Raymond glanced at the subtle movements of the crowd below, snorted coldly, and did not stop them.

He looked up at Lin Yuan on the big screen, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"A commoner's life is cheaper than grass, but harder than iron. Survive, kid."

……

Shattered continent of the abyss, third defense zone.

Inside the battlefield, Lin Yuan was unaware that the high platform outside had already descended into madness because of him.

He was completely unaware that several big names had forcibly labeled him a "genius of deduction".

He was hovering in mid-air, directing the goblins to clean up the battlefield.

"Hurry up and dig out all the magic cores of rank two and above."

"The complete venom sacs and spider silk glands were also cut off and sorted out."

Lin Yuan's voice was cold and hard, just like a ruthless construction foreman.

Below, the goblins, covered in blood, immediately sprang into action upon hearing this.

They used their chain-swords to break open the skulls and pull out dark red crystals from the spider demon's brain.

The battle damage has been tallied.

In this tough battle, over a thousand of the fifty thousand goblins perished.

Most of the damage occurred during the final, desperate attack on the Silver Spider Demon, when the connection was deliberately severed and the character self-destructed.

Lin Yuan glanced at the severed limbs scattered on the ground, raised his wrist, and opened the points leaderboard on his terminal.

[Current kills: 21400 Bronze-level Spider Demons, 3 Silver-level Spider Demon Commanders.]

[Points conversion complete.]

Current total points: 229,000.

[Rank: 27th]

"More than 20,000 second-tier magic cores, and they've directly broken into the top 30."

Lin Yuan looked at the aristocratic scions on the list whom he had trampled underfoot, and smiled slightly.

Su Yueying and Chu Yunxuan remain firmly in the top two positions, with their points exceeding 500,000.

Because of their clan's characteristics, sweeping away low-level monsters is like mowing grass in a crushing fashion.

Lin Yuan was not in a hurry.

He raised his head and looked deeper into the shattered continent.

The sky over there had turned completely dark purple.

The spatial rifts were extremely dense, and the demonic energy was so thick it seemed to drip water.
