Chapter 274 The God of Shattering
(I started ordering the delivery at 6:35 PM, and it finally arrived at 9:40 PM...)
(By the way, the Machine Knights in Yu-Gi-Oh! are really cool, but why are these Steel and Wood Tournament members psychic? Even though it can prevent the Fortress Dragon from eating them all in one bite...)
------
"In the beginning, there were reformers who, upon discovering me, envied my divine power. They imprisoned me in their temple. No one could reach me, no one could bathe in my greatness. In seeking the secret of my divine power, the reformers intended to cut open my limbs and explore my inner self. They desired my divine power to be used by them. Because of their greed, I am prevented from appearing in the world."
Unidentified words came from Rezo Royal's mouth. Although they were just mechanical voices, one could completely feel that they were completely different from Rezo Royal's own voice.
"But one day, the Reformers' mission ended. The Reformers realized they could not imprison the gods forever. Their arrogance ended the world (the following content is partially omitted)..."
An inexplicable sense of oppression began to emanate from his body.
"The flames rose day and night until they were completely consumed. The survivors looked at the ashes of their carefully crafted creation and wept bitterly. They knew that the destruction was their own doing. The reformers paid a heavy price for trying to bind those like us with chains. The survivors knew they must not repeat their mistakes. They knew they must not imprison the gods because of their greed, for we are nobler than them in every way. Hoping that the new world would be better, they began to rebuild."
Gears gradually replaced the mechanical parts inside his body, but the inexplicable pressure emanating from him grew heavier and heavier, surpassing the power of the main gods of various pantheons.
"On the eve of the world's death, they intended to destroy me. They succeeded. My body disintegrated, my fragments scattered across the stars. My fragments were lost. Until one day, after countless moonrises and sunsets, they were rediscovered."
"The first priest who discovered my fragment immediately witnessed my divine power. He was filled with awe upon seeing me, for he knew I was a god. He sought the help of many more to make me happy. The false gods were abandoned, for even their power could not match mine. All the blue aliens challenged my divine power, but none could match it."
"Then, after many more moonrises and sunsets, they found another piece of me. Their sacred mission finally became clear."
"Greed will be gone, loneliness will be gone, fear and hatred will be gone, until the mission is accomplished. Through the accomplishment of the whole, individual sins will be cleansed. Through me, all things will be one. When we are part of the whole, all things will be at peace."
A colossal giant, composed of countless mechanical parts, spans the world, announcing its arrival.
"I will be whole."
If the previous sentences were filled with a variety of emotions, then the last sentence is a statement devoid of any blandness.
God is perfect.
The flesh and blood of the earth were powerless to resist the divine might of the Shattered God. Flesh and tentacles were transformed into countless tiny gear parts, creaking and groaning.
Tiny, silvery-white gears, like waves, devoured the fleshy eggshells while greedily surging towards all people, letting them feel the power of the Shattered God!
Machines are eternal!
"The God of Shattering? That's still too much for the current 'me'. So, you two, it's time to make your move."
"good."
"learn."
The Lord of Billions of Radiant Light, who transformed himself into the Heavenly Demon Lord and the Saint Who Devours Worlds, reached out his hand towards the shattered gods on the other side.
“I am one, I am whole, my brokenness has become whole.”
He proclaimed the arrival of God.
Its towering form, surpassing even the mountains, brought only a suffocating chill, like that of cold steel.
God’s power is like a prison.
Just by gazing at that complete divine body composed of countless mechanical parts, one feels the burning, chaotic emotions deep within one's soul being gradually stripped away, and then filled with that ruthless, cold, inorganic machinery.
The creaking and groaning of the gears was so clear, it seemed to be right next to my ears.
The era of flesh and blood has ended.
God is perfect!
However, the attack that transcended the timeline also arrived silently.
Billions of rays of light converge in the Milky Way, and endless stars respond to the call of this great radiance.
Endless chaos arose from the ancient darkness, transforming into countless bizarre and monstrous celestial demons (mythical creatures), which cackled and snarled as they emerged from the void.
The old glory within the eggshell boiled anew, and endless, thick flesh and blood opened its blood-filled maw, revealing its hunger, endlessly devouring the mechanical gears.
Chaos and order, flesh and machine eroding each other.
This is now a battlefield.
"Why are you, a god from beyond the borders, involved in my rebirth?"
"Everything is already predetermined."
"Hehehehe, since you are a broken god, why do you need a complete body? Just obediently become an SCP object and be contained by the Foundation. We secure, we contain, we protect."
As expected of one of Nyarlathotep's incarnations, he was full of wicked humor, directly poking at the pain of the Broken God, and even uttering the SCP slogan in a serious tone.
As a god, he had been held by the Foundation for an unknown period of time, and even if his own followers wanted to rescue their leader's body, they were powerless to do so.
We can't beat them!
If things escalate and completely anger the foundation, the consequences...
We control, we contain, we dominate!
We are—the Evil Foundation!
It was a dystopian world where the Foundation had abandoned ethics and kindness, destroyed all other containment organizations, and reached the point of global domination.
What state has that world reached?
One day, you're at home playing video games, doing absolutely nothing, when suddenly two tall, burly foundation agents knock on your door and say to you:
"Congratulations, you are honored to be selected as a Class D personnel."
Wow, that's fantastic! You must be so happy, right?
Come on, let's give Grandpa 682 (the Undying Lizard) a bath, scrub his back, and clean up his place.
"......"
I'm a weakling, so I won't speak.
Then, endless radiance obscured everyone's vision, accompanied by a mesmerizing laugh and the incessant turning of gears, and everyone lost consciousness.
Chapter 275 I will surely be the one to win in the end!
(By the way, Hanno's sublime power has gained another "royal pardon," I really wonder what kind of weird thing Revolver will pull out next...)
--------
—Due to the influence of an unknown entity, Rezo Royard, who was assimilated into the Broken God, disappeared, and the ancient power remaining in the eggshell also vanished.
—But so far, neither the poison nor the curse has taken effect, so it seems they've been figured out...
Unfortunately, time was too tight, and the arrangements we made just now were the best we could do... We simply couldn't use any more of our methods.
—So now, what we're really going to do is test our true strength!
—Gentlemen, let's attack together!
—For the hope of the future!
Three figures stood abruptly on the lifeless flesh and blood.
In the game, when you load a save file, your character's level is the same as it was at that time; all that's left is the memory.
At this point, none of the three were particularly strong; one of them was even just an ordinary person.
A system host, a superpowered individual, and an ordinary woman.
Moreover, in order to deal with Chang Yan, the system host had already overdrawn his system points and exchanged for a large number of items. Now, he was just a Taoist priest with some abilities.
Using the brief period after setting the traps, they leveraged their experience from previous game profiles to temporarily enhance their combat abilities. However, compared to the current situation—
Still too weak.
However, even so, as long as there is even the slightest possibility, they will do everything in their power to fight for that last hope.
Because the system host lacked system points, he was unable to improve himself through the system and had no choice but to briefly practice some forbidden Taoist techniques.
The ability of superpowered individuals is to infiltrate into another dimension, allowing them to infiltrate objects, energy, or images they have touched into a space in another dimension. This is why [Order Collapse and Foundation Shattering] can be infiltrated so perfectly.
Of course, previously it could only hide in place. Even with experience in using it, now it can only move the hidden object within a few meters of the machine, and the hidden object cannot replace any solid or liquid.
As for ordinary women, they are now just martial artists who can manipulate all their own organs, with weak physical strength but high martial arts experience.
"You three pieces of trash actually dare to show yourselves? So eager to die? Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily! Let me think about what to do with you to vent my anger..."
Chang Yan rubbed his neck and revealed his very symbolic sinister smile.
"Should I skin you alive and throw you into the swarm, or throw you into the cursed space and let you enjoy being cursed countless times? Ugh, this is so difficult. Maybe I should just try them all."
"Just as I suspected, you're still the same old you. You look like a protagonist from a web novel, but you're actually a ruthless and cunning guy. If I'm not mistaken—"
"Lord of Darkness!"
"Light!"
An endless darkness suddenly burst forth from the ground, and just as it enveloped them, a light filled with hope and warmth broke through the darkness!
A giant made of light stands tall on the earth.
"You'll definitely ambush us. To deal with your Lord of Darkness, we've taken double precautions. He got this transformation device a long time ago. Do you think the title 'Giant of Light VS Lord of Darkness, Hope Piercing Through the Darkness!' is worthy of being the title of the finale?"
The superpowered boy grinned and said.
"I'm just a handsome guy who's a bit cunning and has a strong sense of revenge. How can that be considered ruthless? As for the title, well, I don't care. After all, nobody really understands the difference between justice and evil. By human standards, I am indeed a villain, but what does that prove?"
"Justice will ultimately triumph over evil? What a joke that makes me laugh so hard my abs hurt. Only those naive fools who died a terrible death would believe that."
"Well, let me put it this way—my heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and all my deeds are evil! So, what can you do to me? In the first cycle, I refined countless lives into the Philosopher's Stone, and after that, I infiltrated the interior of the Earth, almost turning the entire world into an eggshell."
"After being ambushed in the second cycle, I received the revelation from the first cycle and directly understood my true self, becoming the omniscient and omnipotent god in the fantasy, granting eternal life to everyone in the world."
"I should be the worst in the third playthrough, but you guys still failed."
"In my fourth playthrough, I became one of the incarnations of a troublemaker, and even adopted a nickname full of ridiculous points. Please, this is a crossover anime novel, not a cultivation novel. The art style is completely mismatched."
"The last one is me in the final loop, the Turn End. My path will determine my future. The previous loops will ultimately be a period of leisure, although they can still jump out of this fantasy if they want..."
"In the future, I will become an eternal, absolute god! This is inevitable, this is a fact that has already been determined, do you understand, you trash? You will surely fail. And in the end, I will be the victor."
"No matter how treacherous, steep, or long the road may be, my victory is absolute! And your chances of winning will always be zero!"
"Everything you have done, everything you have given, the sacrifices you have made, your determination, your dreams, your hopes—"
"It's all useless."
He will surely become the Son of God, proclaiming the truth.
Eyes devoid of pity look down upon the ants who are doing futile work.
"Whether it works or not, you'll only know after you try it."
"Since you've already started, you should definitely keep going. Giving up halfway is the most useless thing."
"So-called hope is always something you have to fight for yourself, even if it means death, even if you fall into the abyss. At least, I just want to have a clear conscience!"
But the three ignorant ants didn't care at all and spoke out their ideas, which came from their barren brains and pitiful thoughts.
Ah, how tragic.
“How foolish. Then come on, prove yourselves to God! And then, I will mercifully grant you death.”
Her pure white hair fluttered without wind, as if she stood tall above the heavens.
The Lord of Darkness and the Giant of Light clashed violently.
