On how PhDs become human evil

Shrugging, Bai Jie said, "It's not impossible for me to fight you, but for us Godslayers, the disobedient gods are indeed our primary target, right?"

In Bai Jie's voice, an enormous being appeared in the ocean.

It was a giant, definitely over fifty meters tall, whose terrifying and majestic aura was only amplified by the sea fog and storm.

How magnificent, powerful, and divine his body was!

Despite wearing very rough clothes, with dirty rags and a leather breastplate on his chest, and a tattered cloak draped over his body, he exuded an aura of majesty.

Whenever I'm face to face with him, I feel like bowing my head and kneeling down.

A disobedient god!

"Hahaha! It seems you're fully prepared, Mercator!"

A resounding voice echoed between heaven and earth, gathering in the sky with a raging wind. A young god in a long robe appeared in the air, his face parallel to Mercato's.

That was the young god Bai Jie had seen before. Compared to yesterday, the young god's aura had undergone a tremendous change, making him seem like a completely different person. It seemed that his defeat in terms of wisdom to Bai Jie yesterday had rekindled the fighting spirit of this invincible military god, and he had spent the entire night busy retrieving his clone.

At this point, he was undoubtedly at his peak.

Looking at the young god before him, Mercator's mouth, almost completely covered by his beard, boomed like thunder: "Your arrogance, which is so great that you dared to awaken the ancient gods and oppose them one by one in order to taste defeat, will be thwarted by me, Mercator, the king of the gods!"

"Defeat, what a pity, Mercato. I now understand what defeat means. I came here only to fulfill my duel with you. After I defeat you, it will be time for me to take revenge on that person."

The thought of getting revenge on Fafnir, who had thwarted his wisdom the day before, made the young god laugh uncontrollably.

And at that very moment—

"I told you, you have to fight me in your best condition."

Wings made of black mud carried Bai Jie into the sky. Bai Jie looked at the young god and said, "Since we're going to fight anyway, why don't we end our battle first?"

"So you've come after all, you evil dragon!" The young god revealed a look of surprise. "However, your actions are a provocation to both gods. There's a limit to arrogance!"

"Don't worry, this is a two-on-two battle."

Clang!

As soon as Bai Jie finished speaking, terrifying sword energy erupted from the coast of Sardinia, splitting the sea in two like Moses parting the sea in mythology. And it was definitely intentional. At the end of the torn ocean was Mercato!

That was a provocation, a provocation from the Sword King, directed at Mercator!

"Interesting! Absolutely interesting! Two pairs of Fools' Sons and the King of Gods! I am truly delighted to have appeared in this world!"

The young god laughed loudly, and golden light shone in his hand, revealing a golden blade amidst the storm.

"My name is Vereslana! I am the invincible god of war! I have fought for so long and only sought defeat! Son of fools, let me know once again what defeat truly means!"

The name of the young god has been revealed; it signifies the name of the one who breaks down barriers.

Strong winds, bulls, white horses, camels, wild boars, boys, phoenixes, rams, goats, and human warriors wielding golden swords.

The invincible war god with ten incarnations—this is the essence of the young god.

His pale hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and his eyes shone with a bewitching red lotus light—Bai Jie, having received the power of the natural disaster, had awakened the beast within him, and a wild aura erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption.

Black mud flowed from his sleeves. Gripping the Death Thorn Spear made of black mud tightly, Bai Jie raised his eyes, which were filled with madness.

"Come on, let me show you the power of humanity, God!"

P.S.: My lovely editor said that to get on the recommendation list, I need to update more frequently and maintain quality—so I'll be doing a big update tomorrow. As for how many updates, that depends on the situation, but it'll probably be five. Please give me your votes and rewards!

Section 194, Chapter 8. The Protoss Forging of the Ark (Part Two)

Veleslana, the ancient Persian god of war, was a guardian who served Mithra, the god of light.

He freely wields ten incarnations, galloping across the battlefield to bring victory to the side he protects. His performance in mythology perfectly highlights his divine status as the "Invincible God of War".

"I am the strongest, and I hold all victory in my hands! Fool, who possesses wisdom surpassing that of the gods, let me once again experience the pain of defeat!"

Vereslana's voice rang out amidst the storm, and his figure surged toward Bai Jie along with the sound.

That was a speed beyond human comprehension. Vereslana, the embodiment of the strong wind, was already accustomed to moving through wind and rain, approaching Bai Jie's war god with the shortest distance and fastest speed, raising his golden sword—

"Clang—!"

The sound of clashing steel echoed under the sky.

The Death Thorn Spear, formed from black mud, stood upright beside Bai Jie like a railing, clamping Vereslana's golden sword at an extremely tight distance.

"What a surprise. I thought you weren't good at close combat. I didn't expect you to have such a hidden skill."

In Vereslana's view, although Bai Jie was a warrior, his area of ​​expertise was not close combat, and he did not have the aura unique to people who had practiced martial arts for many years.

With a smirk, Bai Jie sneered, "Indeed, I'm not very good at close combat—but only relatively speaking!"

With an almost impossible posture, he unleashed a burst of power, an incomparably fierce force surging from Bai Jie's arms in an instant, directly swinging the Death Thorn Spear and sending the golden sword flying.

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss!"

Almost the instant the golden sword was deflected, in less than a hundredth of a second, Bai Jie immediately switched from defense to offense, unleashing a dense barrage of thrusts like a raging torrent towards Vereslana.

That was a desperate, all-out attack that completely abandoned defense and used all its power to attack!

All the evil in this world not only gave Bai Jie immortality, but also all the knowledge of the entire Type-Moon world, from the Age of Gods to the distant future. And within this vast knowledge reserve, which is as boundless as the universe, martial arts naturally exist as well. Gun techniques, sword techniques, archery techniques... all the techniques will be input into Bai Jie's brain as long as he needs them!

"Hahahaha! What a beastly attack! Well then, I won't hold back!"

"Fear those who possess wings! Evil and powerful alike fear me, who possesses wings! My wings will bring you curses! Evil cannot strike me!"

If the speed just now was a storm, then the speed that Veleslana is unleashing now is a flash of light. With the blessing of the Phoenix incarnation, Veleslana has entered a world of divine speed!

As is well known, speed represents not only movement speed, but also attack speed.

"Clang clang clang clang clang clang ——————!!!"

The golden sword unleashed a sky-covering sword light, its dazzling brilliance carrying a vast sea of ​​sword energy capable of cleaving through everything, which surged toward Bai Jie's thrust and blocked it completely without missing a single detail!

"Sizzle..."

A barely perceptible sound flashed past Vereslana's ears. Without missing the sound, Vereslana hurriedly retreated from his spot. The next instant, Bai Jie's spear tail, which was flashing with violent lightning, swept out like a dragon's tail!

Lightning streaked across the sky, creating a vacuum in the storm with sparks and flashes.

"Ice...Burst—!"

With a single strike, Bai Jie created distance and immediately released the Death Thorn Spear. He crossed his hands in front of him, conjuring an ice-blue magic circle, and an extremely cold blizzard instantly blasted towards Veleslana like a cannon!

In that recent exchange, Bai Jie had realized that he was no match for Vereslana in close combat. Even if he could catch Vereslana off guard by constantly switching styles, with his mediocre martial arts skills, Vereslana would have plenty of opportunities to kill him.

therefore--

"Long-range magic warfare that maintains distance—that's your true forte!"

With a single sword stroke, Vereslana swept away the blizzard and transformed into a gust of wind, rushing towards Bai Jie.

Vereslana has ten incarnations.

Among them, the embodiment of strong winds can cause tornadoes, and can also turn Vereslana into wind. In this stormy weather, the power of the wind can be said to be extremely strong.

In just an instant, nearly ten tornadoes, under Vereslana's control, attacked Bai Jie from all directions. This situation was no different from several meat grinders approaching. If one were caught in them, even a body made of steel would be torn to pieces.

"Heavenly Fire—Unsheathed!"

A burst of azure skyfire erupted, and the scorching sword blade grew to nearly a hundred meters in length, slicing into the tornado like the blade of a spinning windmill, burning the entire tornado to ashes!

The body, having dispelled the raging wind, transformed back into the avatar of a young boy. Veleslana looked at the Heavenly Fire Judgment that Bai Jie had thrown away: "You are not a user of the weapon, but rather you use it as a tool and discard it afterward. In a sense, you are truly a luxurious person."

"Who told me to know someone who likes to throw away treasures? Besides, they're just cheap imitations anyway, so what's wrong with throwing them away after use?"

"Om-!"

A fiery red magic circle unfolded above Bai Jie's head, and nearly ten celestial fire meteors fell directly from the magic circle. After that, another magic circle unfolded, and a thunderous purgatory composed of tens of thousands of lightning bolts descended like divine punishment!

Heavenly Punishment Unleashed - A Second Unfolds!

"Hahahaha! Not bad, not bad! What powerful mastery of demonic arts! But it's still far from enough!"

Amidst Vereslana's maniacal laughter, the golden sword suddenly appeared in his hand. Immediately, terrifying magical power erupted from Vereslana's body, transforming the golden sword into a massive blade over four hundred meters long!

*Sizzle!*

The golden sword slashed out a crescent moon-like trajectory, and the storm-level sword pressure it generated collided directly with the heavenly fire meteor and the falling lightning. After only a second of stalemate, it crushed them with absolute power, even swallowing Bai Jie's dual magic array!

(This guy... hasn't even shown his full strength yet!?)

Bai Jie finally understood what kind of freaks the Gods of Disobedience were. There were too many favorable factors that enabled him to defeat Tyr the Disobedient: thorough preparation, the corruption of the evil of this world... It can be said that good luck accounted for 90% of his ability to kill Tyr the Disobedient. If Tyr had not completely disregarded him, he would not have been able to become a god-slayer.

Now, facing Veleslana, whose strength surpasses even Tyr's, Bai Jie finally felt like he was facing a god.

"Well? You've run out of ideas?" Vereslana laughed.

"How could that be? The real show is just beginning."

As he said this, Bai Jie unleashed all of his magic for the first time in his life.

"Unleash all magic! Projection Construct - Full Power Operation!"

All the knowledge of the Type-Moon world from the beginning of creation to the end of destruction, the accumulated civilization of the two eras of Honkai World, and the power of Kamen Rider over the past twenty years of Heisei... at this moment, all of it is fused into one!

Thump—! ! !

A powerful chime rang out in the sky, and a ray of starlight, shining from the distant edge of the universe, traversed tens of millions of light-years and shone upon Bai Jie.

"Spear of Adun - Armored Descent".

“En Taro Adun”.

As if by divine decree, or as if by divine revelation, Bai Jie, who had transformed into a humanoid ark, spoke thus.

P.S.: Five updates today, as promised.

Section 195, Chapter 9: Contending for Supremacy Above the Stars (Part 3)

In the storm, Bai Jie, clad in armor formed from the black Spear of Adun, stared directly at Veleslana through blue goggles, his eyes hidden behind a mask.
