National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

I glanced back at it whenever I had a spare moment.

Vanessa stood there, a distance between her and "god" that was probably ten thousand times greater than Klaus's obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The filth dripped down the smooth, python-patterned scales.

She stared at him expressionlessly, making no move, but the mud beneath her feet churned restlessly.

Renyi silently accelerated the pace of the retreat.

main......

Her gaze was so direct, like she was looking at a long-legged dinner.

The next second, Vanessa raised one hand, her fingertips loosely clenched—

"Gurgle... gurgle..."

The swamp seemed to come alive. The mud was pulled from the swamp by an invisible force, gathering and twisting into dozens of giant pythons made of mud. They had no eyes, but only simulated a huge mouth that kept opening and closing, chasing straight in the direction the group had fled.

"Hey!"

Ivan cleaved the nearest mud python in two, and it scattered instantly.

But the silt clung to his thoughts like maggots, and the axe suddenly became so heavy that Ivan stumbled.

"Holy crap! What the hell is this thing?!"

"This is a curse!" Aurora promptly activated her purifying aura, enveloping Ivan within it.

The heaviness of the axe then disappeared.

the other side.

Klaus and Ethan pulled the abstractly designed unicycle at breakneck speed.

"Mr. Klaus, aren't the wheels on your car a bit square?"

Ethan complained as he panted heavily.

He would turn and then pause, feeling as if he wasn't pulling a cart, but rather a drunken lump of iron.

"That's to increase grip on muddy ground!" Klaus retorted, his flaxen hair soaked with sweat and plastered to his forehead.

Sita sat in the chariot, most of the snake's tail hanging out, swinging wildly up, down, left, and right with the bumps and jolting.

His face changed from blue to purple, and then from purple to green.

"Or... ugh... you should just put me down."

Sita weakly gripped the armrest.

She felt like her stomach was going to jump out of her throat.

"No!"

"Don't even think about it!"

The two refused in unison and ran even faster.

"Crunch—crunch—crunch..."

Sita closed his eyes in despair, secretly vowing that once he was freed, he would practice walking on his tail and strive to become able to fly over grass!

Behind.

Vanessa didn't seem to intend to crush them outright, but rather strolled leisurely behind them, causing trees to rise from the ground and swamps to awaken wherever she went.

It's just a guess that it's related to the 99% in [Lv10 Vanisa (99%)].

The final piece of her so-called "godhood" puzzle lies in Sita—

Moreover, it requires complete obedience or voluntary consent from Sida.

If it were me...

They'd probably capture all of the other side's partners and dismantle them one by one, rather than killing them outright.

Thinking this, Renyi slowed down.

My heart is racing.

Thump, thump, thump...

It wasn't fear, but a long-lost excitement.

Aside from the sea serpent he encountered when he first entered, he mostly relied on strategic planning and information asymmetry to overwhelm his opponents. It had been a long time since he had experienced the exhilarating feeling of being simply crushed by power.

If we don't test the weight of this so-called 'god'...

He probably won't be able to sleep for a long time.

Vanessa was already ten meters away.

The mud on her body had fallen off on its own, revealing an overly tight, dark green scale armor, and her hair was combed back like living things.

"Boss?" Ivan turned his head and asked.

"Keep running, don't hold me back."

As he spoke, he stopped and turned to face the figure slowly approaching.

Vanessa stopped too.

After watching Ivan and the others' figures gradually disappear into the distance, he turned to look at him with great interest.

"Not running away anymore?" she said teasingly. "Decided to stay and be my first follower?"

There was no reply.

He simply flexed his wrist and gripped the Raven in his other hand.

The next moment, he shot towards Vanessa like an arrow released from a bow.

"Boom!"

A thick tree trunk crashed to the ground where he had just passed, smashing the mud into what was almost a mud wall.

More than a dozen mud pythons emerged from the ground, their filthy mouths gaping as they lunged at him.

The figure moved nimbly among the mud pythons and fallen trees, dodging and retreating as it went, while Vanessa continued to move forward at the same speed.

In her eyes, who was just one step away from becoming a 'god',

Arbitrary actions are merely the insect's last struggle.

Nearly.

With a sudden increase in speed, [Raven] pierced straight at Vanessa's throat.

This was just a feint.

The instant Vanessa raised her hand to block, he twisted his wrist, and the dagger's target changed from her throat to her heart.

Ignorance is bliss.

Vanessa murmured, casually clapping her other free hand forward.

There were no complicated moves, no dazzling light effects, and not even a sound of wind.

It was just an ordinary palm strike.

This human's strength can indeed be said to have reached the limit among mortals. Coupled with that strange curse immunity constitution, he really wouldn't have been a match for me in the past.

But now?

...The limits of mortals are insignificant in the face of the power of 'gods'.

"Bang!"

He quickly used [Raven] to cushion the blow, but still took the full force of the attack.

In addition, he felt a chilling aura enter his body, but it disappeared in less than a second.

However, physical impact cannot be exempted.

It was like a baseball, suddenly sent flying.

Just as her body was lifted into the air, a tiny head popped out from behind her collar, and ninety tentacles instantly stretched out, letting out a... silent roar at Vanessa.

Then someone grabbed him and stuffed him into their pocket.

"Stay put."

He adjusted his flying posture, striving to minimize air resistance at his flight angle, and precisely disappeared into the dense forest to the southwest.

"..."

Vanessa's hand was still suspended in mid-air.

The sudden movement and the strange creature had surprised her.

but......

Even a poisonous insect is still an insect.

She lifted her foot and continued walking at a leisurely pace in the direction where Ren Yi and the others had disappeared.

Slowly strangling its prey, listening to its desperate suffocation and death...

It's so fun, I never get tired of playing it!

......

In the ten minutes that Renyi was entangled with Vanessa, the group of runners had already covered more than ten kilometers.

Ivan suddenly felt a gust of wind brush past his head.

"What is that?!"

He instinctively looked up and saw a dark figure dart past, disappearing into the outer woods.

"Is it a bird?"

But they quickly forgot everything else; the ground beneath their feet began to shake, and the area they had just run through was coming alive.

This time, however, the vines and snakes, seemingly imbued with life, did not rush towards them, but instead chased after them in a certain direction.

"That's the boss!"

Aurora, whose power had been constantly surrounding them, saw it most clearly and was about to give chase. "It seems she's gone after the boss!"

"Don't go!" Ethan grabbed her. "Mr. Anything told us not to hold them back!"

"Believe in him, he always manages to create miracles!"

Klaus paused for two seconds, then adjusted the direction of the car:

"I didn't intend to chase after them, but that direction happened to be the southwest he mentioned."

Ivan laughed heartily, offering no objection.

"..." Ethan shook his head helplessly and went forward to help Klaus pull the cart.

In this seemingly normal team, if it's too normal...

It might seem out of place?

The group quickened their pace again.
