Great, we're doomed now!

"Get out of here! If that's how it is, then you might as well all die!"

A red light flashed in Ye Shou's eyes. He clearly recognized that the person in front of him was his comrade, but the overwhelming urge to kill made him unable to stop.

The resentment of billions of lives has long since sublimated into a primal desire to destroy everything. No matter how strong one's will is, it is difficult to fight against it. Even if Ye Shou can control this power and avoid being controlled by Gatanothor, he cannot avoid the distortion of his mind and become a true tyrant and demon god.

—But he played a little trick when he was sober.

That is to release this huge amount of negative emotions through a channel, like dredging a dammed lake, and this channel is called "Gatangera".

Define it as the target of revenge for all of humanity!

Many of the dead were unaware of Gatanothor's existence, and without a specific target of hatred, their grievances were difficult to resolve. Ye Shouze provided a guide, raising the banner of war for these lost souls!

Therefore, even though both are of the dark attribute, the higher-ranking evil god could not suppress the tyrant, because this hatred would not dissipate until his wish was fulfilled!

He managed to control the "tyrant" in this way, and to some extent frightened Gatanothor, causing him to retreat.

But once the target of hatred disappears, its internal order faces collapse, and Ye Shou can only struggle to maintain this boundary... Fighting the giants can vent his anger, but it has a negligible impact on the overall amount of damage, unless there is a large-scale mass killing.

No!

(iv) This can't go on!

Ye Shoushang lifted Gadi up and threw him downwards, forcing the other members of the team to split up to rescue him, thus creating an opening.

A flash of light appeared, and Ye Shou's figure vanished into the tunnel like a shooting star, heading towards the ground.

"So fast! We can't catch up!"

"Damn it... I can't breathe at all, it will take at least three days to recover my energy."

"Tiga, how are you?"

"Barely...no!" Tiga exclaimed. "He can't go out like this, otherwise..."

"Ok?"

"On the ground?"

The giant snapped out of his daze and exchanged glances with his companions, all of whom looked thoughtful.

"Actually... there's nothing left on the ground now, right?"

"The only target we can find is probably monsters."

"...Huh? Should we still chase after them?"

Suddenly, everyone came up with a solution that didn't quite fit the giants' usual way of doing things, but was very constructive:

"Why don't we go to the ground first to replenish our energy, see where he went, and wait for him to calm down?"

Thinking about it carefully, even if Ye Shou wanted to kill, it seems there's nothing he could kill.

As for the monster? The sooner it dies, the sooner it's reborn!

"What were we fighting so hard for just now...?"

"I was worried about him, and I didn't know what had happened."

"Woof? Woof!"

Gedi called out twice, but the others didn't understand what he meant. Only the silver-black giant understood.

"It's fine."

Lucifer patted Gedi's head: "Any creature that is attacked will feel pain, fear, or expose its weaknesses, but monsters don't feel that way—there's no need to pity them."

The ground had been reduced to ruins in the previous battle, with rubble and twisted rock layers exposed, like the remains of a giant beast.

A Golza dragged its heavy body slowly up a relatively intact slope. It sniffed around to make sure there was no scent of the Giant of Light or any other monster before it relaxed slightly.

The evil god is asleep... It vaguely realized this.

Although it was just an ordinary monster that couldn't even get into the center of the battlefield, it didn't quite understand how that earth-shattering battle had ended. But it instinctively felt that the dark pressure above its head had disappeared, and even those annoying giants of light seemed to have all given up.

That's good!

Swish~ Swish~ Swish~

Golza used its powerful forepaws to pry open the loose rocks and began to dig a hole carefully.

It hated fighting those luminous giants; every time its kin clashed, they were either blasted away by the beams of light or left dazed and confused.

Fortunately, it is extremely skilled at digging and quite intelligent, which has allowed it to escape from many battles. But if this continues, it might be completely wiped out one day, especially since the evil god's power will generally decline after the monsters are gone.

Rather than being hunted down like a stray dog, it's better to sleep soundly and wake up thousands or even tens of thousands of years later when the evil god calls out again.

Then, we might be able to bully some weaker native creatures again... I really miss the days when all we had to do was fight against humans.

Golza thought to himself as he dug.

Digging, sleeping, waking up, destroying, foraging, sleeping—this is the life it's familiar with. There are no giants, only the survival of the fittest. Everyone lives comfortably under the rule of the evil god, never even going hungry (they can survive on the aura of darkness). How easy that would be!

It dug deeper and deeper, its entire body burrowing into the soft soil, and continued until the warm geothermal heat enveloped it, right above the lava lake, at which point it let out a comfortable groan.

Finally, I can sleep...

But just then—

Rumble!

The ground shook violently, and gravel and soil fell in a flurry.

Golza was startled, its sleepiness instantly vanished, but before it could react, the soil above its head was completely ripped off with a "whoosh"!

A large, dark red hand burst through the ground and grabbed its neck!

"hold head high?!"

A red light pierced through the earth, and an evil dark giant flew out carrying Golza, as easily as pulling a rabbit out of its burrow for the winter.

What happened?

Golza was carelessly thrown to the ground, causing a flurry of dust and rocks to fly around. The monster, weighing tens of thousands of tons, was not yet fully awake, letting out an unconscious roar and looking up blankly.

...Lord Evil God?

Golza bent down with difficulty, prostrating himself before the majestic and terrifying dark giant—

boom!

A dazzling dark red light flashed, and the monster's body was instantly pierced through!

Before the Golza could even realize what attack it had been subjected to, it was instantly reduced to countless pieces of flesh and blood and exploded!

PS: Here are the attributes of the term "Five-Second True Man," which wasn't mentioned in the previous article:

Simply put, after the lights are turned off, you can still move for five seconds, but you will only have physical skills and no energy.

Normally it wouldn't be of much use, but since the main character has a "transition," you can buy it directly with precious coins.

The phenomenon of the lights going out can trigger a transition, so it can restore a certain amount of energy, which is equivalent to a battle continuation for him.

The remaining unexplained term, "[Starting with a boost]", is exactly what it sounds like: it allows you to use a regular beam of light once more at the start of the game.

Chapter 247: Dark Betrayal (Debt Repayment)

Yu Lian walked on the desolate earth, her feet on scorched soil mixed with broken rocks and an indescribable dark, viscous substance.

The air was filled with gunpowder smoke, and the pungent smell could cause lung damage within seconds if inhaled.

—Youlian's physical body has long since perished; she is now merely a wandering spirit, and thus, nothing has happened to her.

But precisely because of this, her mental perception was exceptionally sharp, allowing her to "hear" all sorts of chaotic sounds, making her stay here extremely painful. Yet, when she thought of the giants who had died in battle, she felt that it was nothing compared to what she had been through.

As far as the eye could see, there was only ruin...

The once lush mountains are now nothing but broken ridges, and the earth has been ravaged by deep, bottomless ravines, as if gruesome scars have been carved into the surface of the planet. In the distance, at the heart of the battlefield, glassy slag, melted by the intense heat, is everywhere.

Even more shocking were the enormous stone statues.

The monster's corpse has long since been dissolved by the darkness, but these stone statues will remain for millions of years until the planet is destroyed.

They are scattered across this vast ruin, each in a different pose, frozen in the last moment of their lives.

Some arms were stretched forward, as if trying to release light;

Some were kneeling on the ground, using their bodies to block something;

But without exception, they all turned into a pile of dull, broken stones, from which one could still vaguely discern their heroic appearance in life.

An indescribable sorrow welled up in my heart. The weight of a civilization, the loss of countless lives, ultimately leaving only this silent ruin and these silent stone statues as witnesses.

but!

Yu Lian raised her head, her gaze seemingly piercing through the pervasive aura of death, looking towards a more distant place.

The evil god Gatanothor, the being who brought ultimate darkness, has indeed been defeated!

It suffered an unprecedented blow and was forced to sink deep into the Earth's core to slumber. During its slumber, Earth may well give rise to a new civilization... Hopefully, they will be more fortunate than the ancient times and be able to defeat the evil god before the flame is extinguished.

The key to achieving this was that young man from a foreign land (the future)—Kuse Yoru.

Thinking of Ye Shou, You Lian's cold face seemed to twitch slightly, revealing a complex and incomprehensible emotion.

As a psychic with both spiritual and prophetic abilities, Yu Lian already knew about Ye Shou's origins, but she didn't expect that a person from the future would be an important part of the "past," and that Ye Shou, after successfully transforming into a giant, would surely bring hope to the world 30 million years from now.

From the perspective of species evolution, humans in the ancient past and the 21st century may not be related by blood.

However, the existence of recessive genetic technology for light factors and Kuzeha Mori seems to be telling a story of destiny.

"The... heir of light?"

Youlian murmured to herself, her voice echoing softly across the empty ruins.

Her initial decision to place some of her hopes on Ye Shou was actually a desperate gamble, but now it seems that the choice was not wrong.

Ye Shou is indeed impeccable, not only in terms of his talent and strength, but also in his courage and determination to face the darkness even in dire straits and to protect what he is protecting!

That's right, he will definitely bring "light" to mankind in the distant future!
