Chapter 259: You’re Surrounded by MeAfter listening to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's words, Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu exchanged silent nods.
"This is how it should be," they thought.
Otherwise, if anyone could obtain a super divine artifact, wouldn't it be utter chaos? However, there's no denying that the power of a super divine artifact is indeed immense.
"Even though we managed to kill a second-tier god, there might still be others of the same rank arriving. We must remain vigint and avoid any oversights, lest these shameless gods exploit a loophole," Qian Daoliu said in a deep voice.
Bibi Dong nodded slightly.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King gave a firm nod. "That’s how it should be."
Meanwhile…
Beyond Douluo Star…
In the vast, boundless starry sky, a battle among gods was unfolding.
Qin Xiao was fighting alone against the God of Destruction and the remaining four Gods of Original Sin, showing no signs of being at a disadvantage.
Even the God of Destruction was menting internally.
How could this guy be so strong?
"Not good."
Suddenly, the God of Sloth’s face turned pale.
It was as if an invisible hand had gripped his heart, nearly stopping his breath.
Yet…
In that brief moment of distraction, Qin Xiao seized the opportunity. With a single punch, he pierced through the void and struck the God of Sloth's chest hard.
Crack.
Crack.
A multitude of cracks, like those on porcein, began to appear across the God of Sloth's body.
"Back off!"
At that moment, the God of Destruction roared, stepping between Qin Xiao and the God of Sloth, engaging Qin Xiao to protect the injured god.
Meanwhile, the Goddess of Life used her remaining divine power to tend to the God of Sloth.
"Lord of the Gods, please stop," the God of Sloth spoke weakly. "Qin Xiao’s attack destroyed my divine body. If I wish to survive, I’ll have to resort to soul reincarnation."
Hearing this, the Goddess of Life frowned slightly.
Even without his words, she could sense how feeble his life force had become.
If she were in her prime, using half of her divine power, she was confident she could save the God of Sloth.
But now…
Even as a high god, she could only sigh helplessly.
There was nothing more she could do.
The Goddess of Life withdrew her hands in resignation.
The God of Sloth looked over to the God of Destruction standing beside him and spoke bitterly, "Lord, my pn has failed. Qin Xiao has left a countermeasure on Douluo Continent and even destroyed my avatar, which had the combat power of a second-tier god."
“If we want to win now, our only option is to defeat him head-on.”
"Failed?" The God of Destruction’s heart sank at these words.
He looked at Qin Xiao, eyes filled with dread. "To think… I would never have guessed that there would be a second-tier god, or even someone beyond that, on Douluo Continent."
Qin Xiao, seeing their reaction, chuckled softly.
"Come on, it was just a mere second-tier god. Did it really require so much effort?"
The faces of the God of Destruction and his allies changed.
They felt that Qin Xiao was looking down on them.
"Don’t doubt it," Qin Xiao said, spreading his hands before turning to the God of Destruction. "In fact, I should thank you."
"Thank me? For what?" The God of Destruction was taken aback.
Qin Xiao replied seriously, "Thank you for lending me the Staff of Destruction. Otherwise, I would’ve had to split my attention to protect Douluo Continent."
The Staff of Destruction… Cough.
The God of Destruction felt so frustrated he wanted to spit blood.
How could he have forgotten?
With the power of a super divine artifact, as long as there’s enough strength behind it, even annihiting a second-tier god in a single strike isn't an issue.
Besides, the God of Sloth’s avatar had barely the power of a second-tier god. Its true power was nowhere near a real second-tier god's.
"Looks like you’re truly out of tricks. Time to close the net," Qin Xiao said, his expression turning icy.
"Qin Xiao, do you really think you've got us cornered?" the God of Destruction replied coldly. "There are still two God Kings in the Divine Realm, along with hundreds of second-tier gods and thousands of third-tier gods."
"Enough." Qin Xiao raised his hand, uninterested in hearing the God of Destruction ramble on.
The God of Destruction had already resorted to threats, which only confirmed they had no cards left to py.
"There's no need for useless talk," Qin Xiao said. "All you need to know is this:
You are now surrounded by me, alone."
He sneered.
"Arrogant words!"
"If we wanted to leave, do you think you alone could stop us?" The gods were clearly skeptical of Qin Xiao’s cims.
But Qin Xiao didn’t bother to argue. With a single thought, the space around them rippled.
Wherever the ripples passed, massive dark purple spheres of lightning, each comparable in size to Douluo Star, began to appear.
No.
To be precise, these weren’t just lightning spheres; calling them stars would be more accurate.
One, ten, a hundred, a thousand…
The gods felt their scalps tingle, struggling even to keep up. They couldn’t count the number—they were seeing double.
Gulp.
Gulp.
The sound of swallowing echoed as they sensed the aura of death from within these thunderous stars.
"Y-you had this kind of power all along? Why didn’t you use it before?" The God of Destruction hadn't realized his own voice was trembling.
"I thought more gods would descend from the Divine Realm. But it was only you lot," Qin Xiao grumbled. "If I’d known, I would’ve unleashed my trump card from the start."
He realized he’d been overly cautious.
The gods: "..."
Damn.
Was he actually compining that too few of them showed up?
"Lord, what should we do now?" The God of Envy whispered to the God of Destruction, feeling the urge to run growing stronger with every muscle spasm in his legs.
"You all should first—"
However, before the God of Destruction could finish his sentence, a sea of purple stars surged from all directions, engulfing the gods in an instant.
Boom, boom, boom…
An endless chain of deafening explosions shook the heavens.
Qin Xiao’s gaze was as sharp as lightning, coldly scanning the scene to ensure no one slipped through his grasp.
In reality, he needn’t have worried.
When the lightning dissipated, the figures of the four Gods of Original Sin—Arrogance, Sloth, Gluttony, and Envy—had vanished entirely.
In their pce, four radiant god positions shimmered!
Looking further away, the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction were supporting each other as they stood.
However, the two God Kings from the Divine Realm looked battered and beaten.
The God of Destruction's hair was disheveled, wild like a madman’s.
The Goddess of Life's dress was torn in multiple pces, exposing rge swaths of her snow-white skin.
This wasn’t due to any crude skill of Qin Xiao's; the Goddess of Life simply had a powerful self-healing ability. Unless hit with a destructive blow, her wounds would heal at an astonishing rate.
Cp, cp, cp.
Qin Xiao slowly appuded, praising, "As expected of the God Kings—truly a cut above those lowly first-tier gods."
Yet…
Upon hearing his words, the God of Destruction's face alternated between green and white.
Seriously, does this guy even hear himself?
Who exactly is he mocking?
