Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 932 - 73: The Will of the Night, Qi Yuan on the Attack_2

The Divine Envoys of reincarnation were monsters created by the Lord of Eden specifically to counter spatial beings like Bai Shuang.

They too possess the ability to tear through the void.

Apart from the Six Divine Envoys, the Lord of Eden also created entities similar to Shen Yin.

The chameleon killed by Tang Xian at the Myriad Beasts Court was actually a creation of Gu Yin.

Now, Gu Yin has recreated it, aiming to ensure the court can achieve an element of surprise.

From the perspective of all the beasts, as long as the Divine Envoys with strength surpassing the level of catastrophe are willing to intervene, they could certainly halt the ever-expanding territory of the Order.

Perhaps this is the only path to victory for the Myriad Beasts' faction.

...

Humanity, witnessing this battle, named the war "The Godslaying War."

The war's codename was devised by Dark Crow.

Tang Xiaohei believed that such a colossal war must be accompanied by a name brimming with fervor.

Where Dark Crow had gone these past few days, no one knew. Perhaps he had a special connection with Junlin, as Junlin appeared shortly after Dark Crow did.

The aloof Junlin showed disdain for humanity's two elite teams, merely giving Tang Feiji a few extra glances, admiration flickering in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Song Que, Tang Jing, and the others deeply understood one truth.

If the Order's Qi Yuan truly launched an assault on Baichuan City, the city stood no chance save for fleeing to places Qi Yuan couldn't find.

The army of Order was simply too terrifying.

Initially, they thought the arrival of the Order at the mining district to battle the Lord of Eden would be a monumental yet swift confrontation.

Now they realized their error—this was not a battle.

This was war.

...

...

The fifty-ninth day of The Godslaying War.

Mining district, Throne.

In the northern reaches of Tianque Plains, there stood an enormous floating Pyramid.

In less than two months, constructing a Pyramid at the level of the Throne was naturally impossible.

Despite the near ten-million-strong army composed of mechanical beasts forged from countless beasts' corpses and Judgment Knights, even they couldn't complete the Throne Fortress within mere dozens of days.

The Pyramid at Tianque Plains was only twenty-five percent of the size of the Throne Fortress on earth.

But it was sufficient for Qi Yuan to command the beasts to assault the Sacred Mountain.

After fifty-nine days, the northern continent had been entirely captured by the Order, except for the unknown regions west of Sin Snatching Territory and Red Lotus Hell, where the Sacred Mountain rested.

In a mere fifty-nine days, the entire northern continent had transformed into a mechanical kingdom.

Nearly ten million mechanical soldiers had surrounded Red Lotus Hell.

Red Lotus Hell had become the beasts' last sanctuary.

On this day, the beasts began their charge for liberation and freedom.

Nearly ten thousand calamity-class creatures charged forward, attempting to penetrate the Tianque Plains and slay Qi Yuan.

Near Qi Yuan's vicinity, within the Throne Fortress, a golden rune-inscribed door suddenly emerged from the void.

The door swung open, revealing twelve catastrophe-class creatures, and three Divine Envoys surpassing catastrophe-level, appearing around Qi Yuan.

On this day, the beasts gazed upon the fractured Throne Fortress, watched as the immense suspended structure began crumbling, collapsing. They cheered wildly, launching frenzied slaughter upon the countless Judgment Knights and mechanical beasts beneath the Throne.

It was as if—after enduring countless failures—they had scored a victory capable of shifting the tides of the war!

The final Myriad Beasts' army surged forth.

The counterattack from Eden's Divine Court came with an unprecedented resolve, as the beasts united to form a weapon of destruction—the Hammer of Annihilation!

"The beasts will never be slaves!"

Someone shouted these words, and though it wasn't clear why, other beasts understood them. These words—"The beasts will never be slaves"—seemed to act as an incantation that infused the beasts with newfound strength!

The beasts chanted these words again and again, as if War Gods possessed their spirits!

[The beasts will never be slaves!]

[The beasts will never be slaves!]

[The beasts will never be slaves!]

The enormous birds soaring in the sky, the monstrous beasts stalking the land, and the various hunters hidden in diagrams all became invigorated under the fiery slogan, displaying unprecedented might!

Within these fleeting minutes, they became the deadliest force in the world, unceasingly demolishing the mechanical creatures!

The beasts, their blood boiling, seemed capable of tearing the heavens apart!

Yet such fervent scenes lasted mere minutes.

The Divine Envoys destroyed the Throne, with the beasts roaring their defiance against bondage. The frenzied fighting seemed to be leading toward victory!

But when the colossal Throne Fortress was obliterated, as the billowing dust dissipated—

What lay before them was not the sight they'd hoped for.

The beasts suddenly froze, as if the scorching lands of magma had been instantaneously transformed into icy tundras.

Compared to the Divine Envoys and the catastrophe-class beasts, Qi Yuan's figure was so small; so insignificant.

Floating calmly in the skies of the Fortress's fourth layer, she observed the crumbling, collapsing Throne Fortress, entirely unmoved.

And beneath her, within the ruins of the shattered Throne—

Three mighty Divine Envoys, twelve formidable catastrophe-class creatures, knelt expressionlessly at her feet, like obedient dogs.

Slaying Eden's Divine Envoys, slaying twelve catastrophe-class creatures, and after the killings, transforming them into mechanical beings.

The entire process, Qi Yuan executed it as calmly and naturally as though she were simply engaging in mundane tasks such as eating, dressing, drinking tea, or speaking.

The cries of "The beasts will never be slaves," which had rung across the Tianque Plains—

Began to fade as Qi Yuan strolled leisurely alongside the red-eyed Divine Envoys and catastrophe-class creatures.

The courage of the beasts seemed akin to the setting sun over the western hills.

The light dwindled into the valleys, diminishing incrementally, replaced by an oppressive darkness overwhelming enough to drive one to despair.

Night descended, and Qi Yuan's figure ventured into the midst of the beasts.

Her face betrayed no emotions. She uttered a single phrase, light and unhurried—not a warning nor a provocation, but merely idle words she chose to say:

"Submit to me, and you will thrive; oppose me, and you will perish."

Her tone was serene like a gentle spring breeze, absent of any domineering ambiance, yet this demeanor alone terrified beasts of all ranks into panicked flight.

The expansive Tianque Plains suddenly gained boundaries.

Not any natural formation of mountains or lakes, but an insidious encroachment, within which countless crimson eyes ignited in the shadows.

Millions upon millions of Judgment Knights and mechanical beasts obliterated the final vestiges of hope for these rebellious beasts, swallowing them into the eternal abyss of night.

Thus, on the fifty-ninth day of The Godslaying War, the beasts suffered an ultimate defeat.

All beasts who chose to follow Eden's Divine Court retreated to their last sanctuary—the Sacred Mountain, the new palace of Eden's royal court.

Qi Yuan acted but once, effortlessly killing three Divine Envoys. No beasts continued to believe that launching a raid on Qi Yuan was a viable strategy.

Because now they understood—their opponent was not a mere enemy, but another god!

In this world, the only force capable of slaying a god is another god.

The Lord of Eden was the beasts' final hope.

Across the northern continent, many beasts still lived, for Qi Yuan hadn't consumed lives with unrestrained abandon like a virus devouring cells. She was meticulous, targeting only those beasts loyal to the Lord of Eden.

Even so, seventy percent of the beasts across the northern continent had perished at the hands of the Order's army.

Perhaps, to Qi Yuan, they hadn't truly died—they'd merely transformed into machines, continuing to "live" in another form.

This was once the supreme being who brought forth the Twilight of the Gods, the pinnacle of strength in the human and Myriad Beasts realms!

The seventieth day of The Godslaying War.

Red Lotus Hell had been completely encircled by mechanical forces. The beasts knelt at the plaza before the Sacred Mountain, beseeching the arrival of their ultimate savior.

Simultaneously, Qi Yuan arrived at the Sacred Mountain. As her steps crossed the mountain's threshold, she issued a challenge:

"Is the world you desire one devoid of all living beings?"

[Of course not.] The Lord of Eden's voice drifted faintly.

"If so, then fight me."

[Very well. You have fulfilled your purpose; it is time for your recall.]

On the seventieth day of The Godslaying War—

The Lord of Eden and the Order's Qi Yuan descended into battle.
