On how PhDs become human evil

Barely managing to crawl out of the pit, Loki was about to take flight again when two completely opposite sensations, extreme cold and extreme heat, assaulted him. Four full-moon shaped sword beams, two black and two red, slashed down like the moon falling!

I flow·double moon·suzaku burns the sky!

I flow·Double Moon·Xuanwu Zhentian!

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The four moons fell heavily to the earth, adding several more craters to the landscape!

In the sky, Bai Jie held aloft the Four Gods, and the spirits of the four gods floated in their respective positions, forming a huge array with Bai Jie at the center.

"Gods reside in the four directions, each fulfilling their duty to suppress all evil! — Slay them!"

Red, black, white, and blue.

The four colors of light converged on the sword of the four gods, and the sword light of the four gods merged into a divine sword of light that was a thousand meters long, which shot straight into the sky and then slashed down!

I flow for one day and the four gods break the sky!

"Impossible...this is impossible...."

Gazing at the dazzling sword of light, Loki murmured softly, his eyes filled with uncontrollable despair.

Humans... do they really possess such immense power?

"——————————————"

Incomparably glorious holy light descended upon the earth, and in the silent stillness, a tower of light rose from the earth, as if it were a tombstone erected for a god.

After the Tower of Light dissipated, what remained on the ground was a scene of devastation left by a direct meteorite strike.

P.S.: Here's the third update, a small bonus chapter. Thank you all for your continued support! I'd love to receive some more donations if you could (shameless).

Section 290, Chapter 25: I'll call you Ah Cai then.

"Oh my, I didn't expect you to take care of Loki so quietly. I've really realized how powerful the Magic King is now. No wonder he's the man who could take the Red Dragon Emperor as his wife."

Inside the Demon King's palace, Odin spoke these words to Bai Jie with deep emotion, his words filled with complete admiration.

They truly hadn't expected that Bai Jie would actually kill Loki and Fenrir while they were eating. These weren't just stray cats or dogs; they were real, legendary evil gods and monsters that had made their mark on mythology! One of them was even among the world's top ten strongest beings!

Bai Jie not only didn't lose in a two-on-one fight, but actually won? And judging from his perfectly steady breathing and still powerful magic, it's clear he didn't exert much effort at all!

It seems the legend of that single blow defeating Zeus is true.

"It was definitely the right thing to come out and see the world. If we had stayed in a corner of Northern Europe, we probably wouldn't have truly come to know you as a powerful figure."

Waving his hand, Bai Jie said, "Well, it's just a matter of mutual benefit. You promised to let me gain the wisdom of the entire Nordic region, so I will also fulfill my responsibilities and take down all the troublemakers."

"So, what are you planning to do with this guy?"

Looking at Loki being trampled under Bai Jie's feet, Odin sighed like an old father: "So you really came, Loki. I expected you might take action, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly."

"Who told you, you old codger, to do something I absolutely cannot tolerate? You actually used information about the World Tree as leverage to negotiate with the gods of other mythologies! What were you thinking, Odin?!"

“I see, sir. This is the problem within the North.” Azazel said.

"Well, although most of the gods agree with my idea, there are still some stubborn guys out there. That's just reality. There's even one idiot who came running over here on his own like this."

Odin stroked his chin and spoke, his long white beard swaying gently.

"Lord Loki! This is an overreach of authority! It is an attempt to defy the supreme god! Unforgivable! Any objections should be raised in a proper and fair setting!"

"A mere Valkyrie shouldn't bother me. I'm asking Odin, do you still want to continue this behavior that goes beyond Norse mythology?"

As soon as the Valkyrie beside Odin spoke, Loki roared in fury.

Odin shrugged noncommittally at Loki's undisguised anger: "At least talking to Sazex and Azazel is a million times more interesting than talking to you."

"Furthermore, I'm very interested in learning about Shinto in Japan. It just so happens that they also seem to be very interested in our World Tree. If we can reach a peace agreement, both sides can invite each other's ambassadors to have a cross-cultural exchange."

Odin!

Loki trembled uncontrollably, and magical energy began to emanate from his entire body.

However, the magic only flickered into a tiny flame before a large hand swung down, slamming Loki's head directly into the ground.

"Since you're a prisoner, don't jump. I'm only letting you live because you're an important deity. At least cherish your life, okay?" Bai Jie said calmly.

These words, however, were like the whisper of death to Loki, for Bai Jie truly possessed the ability to kill him. In fact, Loki had indeed died under Bai Jie's [Four Gods Severing the Heavens] technique, and the reason he was still alive was simply because Bai Jie had used resurrection magic on him.

With such ease, God was killed, and with such ease, God was resurrected. For Baljah, who could control the life and death of God at will, Loki's pride had vanished, leaving only pure fear.

Therefore, Loki readily admitted defeat.

Witnessing this scene, Odin's perception of Bai Jie was refreshed once again. That was Loki, the evil god who could not be tamed by the entire Norse mythology, yet he was beaten into such a cowardly grandson by Bai Jie. No wonder he was the man who could pin the Red Dragon Emperor to the bed.

In reality, it was Bai Jie who was pinned to the bed by the Crimson Dragon Emperor.

Looking at Odin, Bai Jie asked, "So Odin, what do you plan to do with this guy? I personally feel it's better to just kill him; I always feel that keeping him around is a potential threat."

"...Forget it, this isn't the first or second time he's rebelled. Magic King, could you please take him back to Norse mythology and seal him away? You'd like to gain the wisdom of Norse mythology, wouldn't you?"

"There's no need for all that trouble. I can just seal him away right here."

After Bai Jie finished speaking, he patted Loki's back with his right hand. Several magic circles of different colors appeared one after another on Loki's back, and chain-like magical light crawled up Loki's body like maggots clinging to bones.

"Magic seal, physical weakness, vitality weakness, soul curse... I have placed three seals on him for each of the aspects of magic, body, and soul. From now on, he is a level three cripple who cannot use magic and is as weak as an infant."

"By the way, to prevent anyone from breaking the seal on him, I added an extra layer of protection—a triggered soul curse. As long as someone tries to interfere with the seal, the curse will be activated, causing Loki to explode from the inside out, killing him along with his soul."

"Odin, is this seal enough? If not, just go back and give him a dog leash and tie him up in prison."

"...No, I think this is enough."

Even the well-informed Odin couldn't help but feel that Bai Jie was simply a devil. Not only did he seal Loki's magic, but he also added restraints, making Loki as weak as an infant. That might be one thing, but that final soul curse was truly disgusting!

Just touching the seal would blow Loki to pieces, body and soul. Who could have come up with such a vicious curse? What kind of grudge would someone have to harbor to devise such a curse?

After setting up a magic circle to put Loki into a temporary alternate dimension and lock him in a small dark room, Bai Jie stood up and said, "Then I'll head back first. My wife is waiting for me to come home for dinner. Odin, just have Azazel let me know when you're leaving."

After saying that, Bai Jie walked to the entrance of the Demon King's Palace not far away, untied a dog leash tied to a pillar, and led Fenrir, who was sitting on the ground, to his feet: "Alright, Ah Cai, let's go back."

Because Loki was traumatized by Bai Jie, Fenrir, as Loki's child, naturally couldn't escape Bai Jie's clutches. Considering that summoning Fenrir would cost him an arm, Bai Jie hesitated for a moment and then beat Fenrir severely, leaving it on the verge of death before forcibly signing a servant contract and naming it Ah Cai.

The mighty god-slaying wolf was given a dog's name... Although Fenrir is a wolf in appearance and academically a canine, Ah Cai... well, Fenrir was completely unwilling at first.

So Bai Jie beat it up again.

Disobedient pets need to be properly trained; as the saying goes, "Spare the rod and spoil the child."

P.S.: I've been listening to a lot of ancient-style songs lately, which made me want to write a cultivation novel. Something like the daily life of a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) senior brother, or a great demon from 30,000 years ago resurrecting and wreaking havoc on the cultivation world. If I write this type of book for my next book, would you guys want to read it?

Section 291, Chapter 26: The Third Being on Par with Bai Jie

In Bai Jie's villa, Chen sat on the sofa watching Bai Jie return with his husky, Fenrir, and said with a mixture of helplessness and amusement, "You actually brought Fenrir back as a pet, I don't know what to say to you."

"Well, it's because we're missing a means of transportation. It's not very interesting to keep relying on spatial teleportation to move around. Hey, Ah Cai, don't be fierce. She's your master. Just bark."

"....Woof."

Fenrir reluctantly blew, its eyes filled with a wronged expression.

It's a god-slaying demon wolf! One of the world's top ten most powerful beasts! When has it ever been treated like a dog?

And the worst part is that it can't beat this person at all! That's the most frustrating thing!

It's one thing to be unable to defeat this monster, but Fenrir discovered that this person's wife was actually the Red Dragon Emperor who had beaten it up before, and Fenrir's mentality exploded at that moment!

Bai Jie, the male owner, couldn't beat it.

Even Chen, the mistress, couldn't beat it.

It's easy to imagine the kind of miserable life this family's pet dog will lead in the future.

Seeing Fenrir's momentum suddenly wane, Chen sighed, walked up to Fenrir, squatted down, and patted its head: "Don't worry, Fenrir, I won't do anything to you."

"Woof..."

Fenrir barked again, as if to say, "I believe you, Red Dragon Emperor, that you won't hit me. Don't you remember who was it that almost smashed its dog head in a Tyrannosaurus Rex when we disagreed before?"

(Hey partner, this wolfhound seems to hold a grudge. It looks like it's still resentful about you hitting it before.)

In Chen's mind, the Crimson Dragon Emperor Draig said with a smile.

(Maybe I should give it another beating. This wolfhound is a typical example of a dog that needs a good beating; a beating will make it behave.)

Hearing what Drag said, Chen thought about it in silence for a while, then shook his head: "Let's not fight it. It's already been hit twice by Bai Jie today. If I hit it again, it'll probably really die. Let's fight it next time."

"Woof?!"

Fenrir immediately shuddered. It had felt a warmth in its heart when it heard the first half of Chen's words, but the second half of the words shattered its composure once again.

This couple is a pair of devils! No wonder they got married!

————————————————————

Bai Jie took Fenrir to the door to guard the house, then took a piece of bread from the refrigerator and returned to his and Chen's bedroom.

Normally, Chen would already be in bed waiting to make a baby with him, but today, when Bai Jie went in, he found that Chen hadn't even changed out of her pajamas.

"Wife? What's wrong?"

"Bai Jie, I've received a message from Rhodes Island."

"The contact with Rhodes Island?"

Bai Jie immediately frowned. If he remembered correctly, he had already told Rhodes Island that unless something catastrophic happened, there was no need to contact him. Besides, in Gensokyo, Rhodes Island had completely become a local power and had no enemies.

Even if something were to happen, Rhodes Island is currently strong enough to handle it on its own.

The entire Rhodes Island is staffed with six-star operators, how do you expect to counter this?

And now, Rhodes Island has actually contacted us? Doesn't that mean Rhodes Island has encountered a major problem that they can't solve?

Taking the phone from Chen, Bai Jie said, "Hello, it's me."
