Chapter 592: Chapter 592: A God in His Prime; The First Human to Wield a Divine Artifact

A somewhat ambiguous smile slowly appeared on Pride's golden mask. He placed one foot on the ground, applying slight pressure, feeling the hardness of the body beneath him.

It was clear that the other's body was currently enveloped by a special kind of power, making it impossible to inflict any real damage.

Hah, he knew it.

"I knew you would still come, to save this useless subordinate."

"Death..."

Pride murmured to himself, propping himself up with the giant axe in one hand. With a heavy *thud*, he slammed the massive axe head into the ground right next to the other's head.

The axe blade was pointed directly at the other's neck!

The sharp, lethal aura of the Extreme Path Battle Axe was now assaulting the other's mental defenses, making him desperately want to move his head to the side.

But with Lu Ce stepping on him, he couldn't make any large movements.

Like a lamb waiting for slaughter, he was pinned under Pride's foot, utterly devoid of the so-called dignity of a Divine Messenger.

Or rather, starting from this moment.

All Divine Messengers had been completely stripped of their lofty, untouchable facade before Lu Ce!

Lu Ce leaned on his battle axe. As the imposing aura around him subsided somewhat, the price of burning his life force and vital essence began to show.

His whole body became somewhat unsteady, his frame beginning to rapidly shrivel like a deflating balloon.

The Illusion Cloak instantly recombined and healed itself, transforming into golden garments that covered his body.

No one could see his body, which was now starting to resemble a desiccated corpse.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the city became strange. One moment the fighting was incredibly fierce, the next, everything had stopped.

Because all the players had heard that voice.

Almost as a conditioned reflex, upon hearing that voice, Xie Antong immediately looked at her game live-stream screen.

—Black screen!

Sure enough, with the arrival of such an existence, the game's live stream was directly cut off.

Clearly, [Death] had arrived! Once again, a God had come!

After Game 2.0, due to Lu Ce's very direct targeting of Divine Messengers, it seemed that every time a game ended, a corresponding God would make an appearance.

The name "Sin" was probably no longer unfamiliar to Them.

On Lu Ce's game live stream, many people faced the black screen and began cursing furiously.

[: Seriously, what's the meaning of this? It's happened several times now! Every time it gets to the critical moment, we just can't watch.]

[: Why is "Sin's" game always like this now? Is there some inside story?]

[: Can't someone do something about this? Fix the bug? I kind of want to report it.]

The naive spectators discussed some laughable topics, but when The Creator saw the black screen, he let out a sigh of relief and relaxed his body.

Hmm... This probably meant [Death] had suddenly appeared.

It's fine. This actually already meant that "Sin" had won!

As for what would be discussed later... Hah.

Leaning back on the wooden chair in his room, The Creator, with his face and those around him, squeezed out a somewhat ambiguous smile.

Let that nasty fellow give the Gods a taste of their own medicine.

......

"What does... a draw mean?"

Xie Antong thought to herself, raising her head to look around. The All-Seeing Eye was collecting information from the entire city.

It seemed she wanted to find out where the exceptionally mysterious [Death] was at that moment and in what form it would appear.

But what she saw was that Perfect Life, Sun, and the other players were also looking around in all directions, unable to see the figure of that existence.

Perfect Life was even frowning, drawing something in his palm, though it was unclear what judgment he was making.

At this moment, the most bewildered person was Jiang Yuan.

Those words had appeared directly in the players' minds at the first moment; he couldn't hear them!

From his perspective, right after Pride knocked the Death Messenger to the ground, the entire world seemed to have been put on pause. No one was moving.

What happened?

Jiang Yuan looked up in confusion, his face full of doubt. The people in the city also began to feel inexplicably panicked and anxious, making a commotion on the streets.

At that very moment, suddenly, a heavy, muffled sound rang out in the sky, directly entering everyone's ears in the form of audible sound.

"What a noisy world."

As the words were spoken, a scene appeared in this world that shook the hearts and minds of everyone.

A giant black hand appeared in the sky!

Its size was impossible to estimate because, in the sky, it was gripping the sun! (The real sun)

That blazing sun was held in the giant hand's grasp. The flames began to extinguish rapidly, all energy dissipating into nothingness at this moment.

Then, the sun overhead exploded!

The world instantly plunged into eternal night. The earth turned icy cold within a few breaths. The ordinary people rapidly stiffened, quickly frozen and encased in ice.

The sun had exploded. Now in the sky, only another [Sun] was still burning, providing light.

At this moment, everyone was so shocked they couldn't speak. This was... casually crushing a star with a hand?

Considering the game could arbitrarily alter the world, such a thing wasn't impossible, but the visual impact of this scene...

The world fell into silence. Everyone except Lu Ce stared dumbfounded at the sky.

Everything will pass away; only Death is eternal.

So there was no slumber, no avatar, no divine spirit. What they were facing...

was likely a God who had always been awake, in a state of full power!

"Where are you?!" Suddenly, a sorrowful, furious roar shattered the tranquility. Jiang Yuan, eyes wide, let out a hoarse, screaming cry.

He could sense it. It was power of this level! Power of this level that had brought destruction and endless despair to his world.

"Where are you?! Come out!"

In the dark, icy night sky, only his voice, as if spitting blood, echoed, like venting rage against a void universe.

However, how would [Death] pay him any heed? It merely continued speaking to Pride.

[This game will end in a draw. You can state what you want.]

But Lu Ce similarly paid Him no mind! Holding the giant axe, he brought it down like a guillotine blade, wanting to chop off the Death Messenger's head.

But black energy enveloped it, making it impossible to advance even an inch.

Before [Death] could continue speaking, Lu Ce let out a cold laugh and lifted the giant axe in his hand.

He stroked the axe blade and spoke:

"Brother, I don't want to listen to that God's nonsense."

"I need your help. Cut His head off!"

As the words fell.

[Divine Weapon Ascension Successful!]
