Why are all the people in my chat group rumored to be from the outside world?

Chu Tianjiao suddenly woke up and instinctively wanted to rush towards the vehicle.

But he stopped abruptly as soon as he took a step!

"You guys go first! Go now!!!" he roared without turning his head.

He cannot leave! If he tries to get on the chariot, Odin's wrath will be unleashed!

He could die, but his child could not… Just as he was about to utter his most heroic last words—BOOM!

A humanoid object engulfed in flames crashed down at his feet like a cannonball! The splashing mud and hot blood splattered across half his face!

It was Ember, who had just been smashed into mincemeat by Odin's spear!

Chu Tianjiao: "..."

Yu Jin, acting as if nothing had happened, spat out the mud from his mouth, got up, and glanced at Chu Tianjiao: "What are you still doing standing here like a lamppost?"

"Get your people out of here right now!"

Chu Tianjiao shook his head seriously.

"Someone must stay behind to cover the retreat."

"Otherwise, why would I be standing here?" Yu Jin calmly interrupted what he was about to say.

As they spoke, their swords never stopped, and the approaching Death Servants were instantly torn apart.

Just as the two finished clearing out the monsters, Yu Jin suddenly reached out to Chu Tianjiao. Chu Tianjiao reacted, but he did not resist. The next second, a terrifying force threw him directly into the Maybach, even breaking the window and crashing him inside.

"Take them away—!!!" Outside the car window, Ember stood with his back to them. His slender figure appeared small yet incredibly resilient amidst the overwhelming presence of Dead Servants and the pressure of the gods.

His longsword flashed ceaselessly, stirring up a crimson mist of blood in the rain. "Don't think my hundreds of deaths were fake!!!"

Chu Tianjiao was thrown around, dazed and confused, blood trickling from his mouth, but his eyes instantly cleared. He stared intently at the blood-soaked figure in the back, and forced out a single word: "Go!"

The already battered Maybach engine roared hysterically! The tires screeched wildly against the wet road, emitting acrid white smoke!

A speed of over 200 kilometers per hour was instantly unleashed! The car body, like a steel beast breaking free from its restraints, tore through the rain and shot towards the toll station!

"Ember—don't die, you bastard—!!!" Xing leaned half his body out of the broken car window, shouting hoarsely at the rapidly receding battlefield shrouded in death and flames!

Odin's face seemed to turn towards the fleeing vehicle, his massive hand holding Gungnir slightly raised—

"Hey! Grandson! What are you looking at?! Grandpa's here!" The burning embers, like a leech, pounced on him once more with a relentless, mad frenzy! A dazzling sword light slashed straight at the single eye beneath Odin's helmet!

*Swoosh!* The Eternal Spear swept out with a sharp whistle, sending the embers flying backward like a tattered sack!

Odin's gaze pierced through the rain, fixed on the Maybach that was almost disappearing from sight.

If He so desired, He could have pierced through space with Gungnir in His hand and pinned it to the ground. But He did not.

There was a monster hidden in that car, a monster with some kind of terrifying power.

That girl—a star with a star core.

He slowly lowered his head, his cold gaze returning to the ruined, muddy land.

There, the flames reignited, bones crackled in the firelight, and viscous flesh and blood writhed and coalesced like living things... Here, too, was a monster.

An undead monster that cannot be killed or crushed, and that clings to you like a persistent, intractable disease.

Two monsters, one fleeing, the other entangled.

God's script has been completely disrupted.

Chapter Four: Immortal Rhine! God, will you bleed?

The black Maybach transformed into a bolt of lightning tearing through the darkness in the rainy night, yet the interior was filled with a stagnant, heavy atmosphere.

Chu Tianjiao leaned back in the driver's seat, his feelings somewhat complicated. He had long been prepared to die, but he never expected that he would be the one pushed onto the escape route in the end...

He glanced at the three silent young men in the back seat out of the corner of his eye—he didn't know them at all.

But now is not the time to ask further questions.

The man named Yu Jin... took his place and stayed on that battlefield to cover their retreat.

Even after witnessing Odin's incredible resurrection ability, Chu Tianjiao believed that any struggle in front of Odin was nothing more than a delaying tactic.

He owes a life.

A life that may never be repaid.

The carriage was deathly silent except for the roar of the engine and the howling of the tires crushing the rain.

The silence was finally broken by the young Chu Zihang, whose voice, tinged with the disorientation of someone who had survived a close call and a barely perceptible tremor, asked: "Dad... are we... safe?"

Chu Tianjiao subconsciously tried to force a smile that he usually used to comfort his son.

However, when he turned his head—his smile instantly froze on his face!

"No!" He abruptly turned his head and stared intently at the scene rushing past the window. "Three or four minutes! At this speed, we should have made it out by now! Why... why are we still in the Nibelungen?!"

He whirled around to look at the thick, dark rain behind the car—beyond the limits of human vision, his golden eyes, those of a top-tier hybrid, could see it! In the distance, on the battlefield, the towering flames had not yet died down!

"Odin was clearly held back, so how could this still happen?" Chu Tianjiao thought in shock.

-

On the distant battlefield, Odin's gaze once again fell upon the man who had risen from the ground and was charging toward him.

"Do you think you can kill me!" Ember's roar was nothing but the bestiality forged by repeated beatings of death and rage!

His body was pierced by the beam of light once again, half of his chest was gone, and his charred internal organs were exposed to the cold air! But he seemed to feel no pain. With only a mad will, he dragged his mutilated body and leaped up, his sword blade, with the determination to perish together with him, fiercely slashing towards Odin's head!

"Unkillable...uncrushable...this is definitely not a dragon! It's not even any known life form!"

Odin attacked again, his devastating power turning the embers into a shower of blood and flesh.

However, His gaze involuntarily turned again to the direction where Maybach had disappeared, and a rare hint of... weighing appeared deep within His cold, single eye.

He hesitated.

He threw the eternal spear in his hand.

With just one strike, the fleeing car and its occupants will be reduced to ashes in an instant.

However… that vessel containing energy far exceeding that of a Dragon King, which even made Him feel uneasy… He couldn’t be sure whether a fatal attack would become the fuse that ignites that unstable situation.

This uncertainty made him hesitate.

In that split second of weighing the options—

Inside the Maybach!

The three young people whom Chu Tianjiao mistakenly believed to be immersed in grief simultaneously focused their eyes on the rapidly loading interface in their minds—

[Dimensional Chat Group - Urgent Notice]

[Detection: Phase 1 of Dimensional Adaptive Crossing Completed.]

[World rules are being lifted... Energy system compatibility fixes complete!]

[WARNING: Unforeseen threat encountered! System has detected a major error!]

[Compensation mechanism activated: Injecting the world's fundamental energy system—the "Dragon Blood·Word of Power" template!]

[Compensation Method: Limited to group members - Lucky Amplification Draw!]

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this error. We wish you a pleasant lottery experience.

After the system rattled off a long string of words, Xing, who had been completely silent, suddenly opened his eyes; his power had returned!

She looked at Kevin and the doctor, who had also raised their heads.

"You stay in the car, I'll go help."

"Open the car door!" Xing shouted at Chu Tianjiao.

Chu Tianjiao wanted to say that going back would be suicide, but when his gaze met the girl's eyes burning with determination, all his words of dissuasion were choked back.

He understood. Just as the embers stood in front of them, the girl before him had also made her choice.

Click—the moment the car door lock popped open!

The violent rain and wind rushed into the carriage!

Without the slightest pause, Xing's figure leaped out of the car door as the Maybach sped at a terrifying speed of over 200 kilometers per hour!

Her figure traced a thrilling arc in the air, her slender feet firmly stepping onto the wet, cold road surface. The powerful momentum even plowed two glaring tracks into the asphalt!

The next second—BOOM!

Arcs of energy danced around her, and her entire body transformed into a shooting star tearing through the rainy night, charging headlong into the battlefield without hesitation!

If staying there without the power meant waiting to die, then now that she has the power, she is determined to save the guy she has only met once, yet who is willing to stand behind them!

"Hold on, Ember!"

"The time has come for you!"

Inside the carriage, Kevin felt his blood boiling, a surge of shame and burning desire rushing to his head.

"He even dares to turn around when it comes to girls..."

"Kevin! What are you hesitating about?!"

He longed for that dream he had uttered in high school, a dream that had been buried by reality—to become a hero!

"Hero..." he almost roared, with a desperate resolve, "I will never abandon my comrades!!!" His finger, imbued with immense force, slammed into the [Draw] button!

He didn't even look at the results; his gaze suddenly shifted to the silent doctor beside him.

The doctor had already raised his head.

Beneath the shadow of the hood, those eyes calmly met Kevin's burning gaze.

Without Kevin needing to speak, the Doctor nodded slightly, his voice clear and firm: "Together."

"I have no attachments, I own nothing."

This simple statement contains a deeper realization than any grand pronouncement—fearlessness in the face of death, simply because there is nothing left to lose.

"Stop the car!" Kevin's voice rang out from inside the carriage.

Stab it--!

A sharp screech of brakes tore through the rain! The Maybach came to a sudden stop on the slippery road.

Chu Tianjiao suddenly turned around and looked at the two people in the back seat.

"You..." Chu Tianjiao's voice was dry and hoarse, "...are you going too? You'll die!"

"Maybe," Kevin readily admitted, but a resolute smile curved his lips. "But if I don't go back... I'll be haunted by nightmares for the rest of my life!"

The doctor remained silent, placing his hand on the car door, answering with his actions.

Seeing the determination in the eyes of these two young people, Chu Tianjiao's facial muscles twitched.

In the end, all the complex emotions turned into a sigh and an almost ferocious smile.

"In the end, it's still the same." He cursed under his breath, then abruptly turned to Chu Zihang in the passenger seat. Without saying anything more, he ruffled his son's hair with his large hand, his voice low and solemn: "Son, the road ahead... is up to you."

"Your old man..." He took a deep breath, as if trying to etch his son's image into his very bones, "I still have some... personal matters to take care of!"

"Don't look so gloomy!" he tried to force his usual relaxed smile.

"You're acting like your old man is doomed!"

Chu Zihang's face instantly drained of all color! He looked at his father's forced smile, and his heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an icy hand!

Fear, worry, and the immense panic that his father might never return overwhelmed him like a tsunami.

However, a burning obsession, originating from the depths of his blood and as hot as magma, suddenly broke through all the shackles!

He abruptly raised his head, his clear eyes now burning with unprecedented determination as he looked directly into his father's golden pupils, uttering each word clearly and distinctly: "Dad..."

"I don't want to be a coward who lives in a nightmare of running away for the rest of my life!"

Chu Tianjiao's smile froze instantly! His pupils shrank into dangerous vertical slits!

"No!" he practically roared. "You have to leave!"

Chu Zihang looked at his father's face, which was slightly distorted by rage, and the boy's body trembled violently... In the end, he seemed to give in, nodding very slowly and bowing his head deeply.

"That's my good son, Chu Tianjiao!" Chu Tianjiao breathed a sigh of relief and patted his son's shoulder hard. "Remember, drive! Use autopilot too!"
