"The 'Unique Divinity' is an irresistible temptation for corpse-resolved immortals and ninth-level extraordinary beings,"

"I sense that the essence of Seven Luminaries Heaven may be in trouble, but my only concern right now is to take care of my own affairs."

Zhong Shenxiu examined himself.

The multitude of eyes had already merged into his own flesh, giving him a human form, yet he was considerably taller than before.

He haphazardly picked up a white lab coat from a researcher and draped it over himself.

As he moved, he could feel that he was merely wrapped in a layer of human skin; beneath it, countless eyes lurked, seemingly ready to burst forth at any moment.

"Having forcefully harbored a divinity without the proper steps, it seems there are side effects... It will take a long time to smooth over..."

Zhong Shenxiu did not busy himself further with these thoughts, for the collapse of the Sixth District was imminent!

"Impact protection, prepare!"

Came the hoarse cry of a surviving broadcaster through the loudspeakers.

Boom!

The flying airship, having withstood its limits, violently crashed to the ground.

The survivors on board, still recovering from their dizziness, saw a giant over a hundred meters tall, who slammed a fist into the bottom of the laboratory.

Bang!

Bang bang!

The thick armor was as fragile as an eggshell to the earth-born fiends, breaking apart after a couple of strikes.

However, just as the laboratory was about to be torn apart, the earth-born fiend suddenly retreated, as if sensing some danger.

"Truly... cautious... Not all divine monstrosities are necessarily mad."

"At least they know to first grab unclaimed divinities, and after gaining real strength, then hunt other divine monstrosities..."

"But you know divinity is dangerous... and still, you chase after it, that's the crazy in you."

Zhong Shenxiu stood atop a structure, almost level with the earth-born fiend.

He rubbed his temples slightly, and behind him, an enormously large and horrifying vertical eye-shadow abruptly emerged.

Within that giant eyeball, it looked as though countless dark little hands reached out, wanting to extract the soul of the earth-born fiend and drag it into Hell.

"Roar!"

The large-framed giant roared once more, its body surface seemingly emanating an otherworldly radiance.

The steel within its range turned completely to decaying dust.

The Sixth District collapsed tumultuously, burying countless innocents.

Ah, Zhong Shenxiu merely went on a rampage through the underground laboratory; in reality, within the Sixth District and Special Ability Department, there were still quite a few humans surviving.

"Decay, decline... and next comes the fall."

Zhong Shenxiu chuckled lightly, the giant eye behind him growing even more sinister as 'eyelashes' emerged from the void.

They were thick, greasy tentacles covered in complex and sinister patterns, viciously lashing out at the earth-born fiend.

In the sky above, threads of Black Fog fell.

Among them, a shadow that resembled both a serpent and a massive centipede watched the scene unfold, hesitating to move forward.

For such divine monstrosities, that portion of divinity had shifted from being unclaimed and easily consumable, to another powerful 'divine monstrosity.'

This thwarted their original plan.

But the madness innate to divinity, coupled with the tendency to congregate, made it impossible for them to give up.

Indeed, after the destruction of Sky City, those divine monstrosities would inevitably fight and devour each other... It's an instinct carved into the very essence of divinity!

Even fully digested Demon Hunters may not be able to resist, let alone these creatures that were once mere beasts.

...

"Oh?"

At that moment, Zhong Shenxiu sensed something and looked up at the sky.

He saw a floating airship explode in mid-air, scattering countless fragments, among which were numerous escape pods.

One giant metal laboratory, like a meteor, plummeted straight down.

"I'm not playing with you guys anymore."

He nodded, and from the divine attraction within his body, he knew it was Laboratory No. 3 that stored the pale remains. With a flicker of his body, he teleported hundreds of meters away, heading toward the falling laboratory.

Behind him, the Black Fog King and the Hellspawn were in hot pursuit.

…

BOOM!

The metal structure of the laboratory hit the ground and immediately exploded with a thunderous bang.

Morey Pavilion only felt as if all his internal organs had shifted in painful disarray, his body suffering multiple fractures, but he was, after all, not dead.

Of course, this was not because he had jumped in place before the laboratory hit the ground, but due to the physical quality of a Demon Hunter, along with a bit of luck.

And moreover, the most critical reason, was the monster Larry had become!

Just before hitting the ground, the creature Larry had transformed into suddenly emitted a terrifying shockwave that countered the falling force.

Although it was to protect himself, it also spared Morey Pavilion from certain death.

Perhaps, this was the terror of the Child of Calamity!

Always finding a glimmer of hope in desperate situations!

But Morey Pavilion barely managed to open his eyes amidst the rubble and saw Larry.

Behind him were countless spider-like bone tentacles, which were now retracting into his body one by one, and the bone spikes on the surface slowly curled up.

"You succeeded? Impossible!"

Morey Pavilion felt he was on the verge of collapsing.

Could the butterfly effect he caused by time-traveling have enabled Larry, who was supposed to fail, to succeed?

This was undoubtedly a massive irony!

"I need to thank you..."

As the last bone spike curled back into his body, Larry Bruce's expression returned to normal, but his eyes were pure white, "In the falling darkness, I almost gave up, but that despair reminded me... allowed me to barely maintain a sliver of sanity."

The promotion rituals of all sorts of divine anomalies are undoubtedly to accumulate enough negative emotions, stimulate humanity, maintain sanity, and withstand divinity.

And the pale remains correspond to death, regret, and despair!

Originally, the hasty preparations, or rather, Larry's own accumulation of despair, far from enough, would be the main reason for his failure.

And at that time, Morey Pavilion's appearance, informing him prematurely of the despairing outcome, actually led him to success!

It had to be said, it was an irony! A mockery of fate!

"As of now, I have digested the pale remains and become a Divine Demon Hunter. I will rebuild Sky City and become the hope for humanity in the apocalypse..."

Larry spoke calmly, "Now, submit to me... become my right-hand man, and I will let you live."

A reborn individual, or a Prophet, was no doubt more valuable alive than dead.

"No, I will never submit to you. I will kill you, stop you!"

Morey Pavilion shouted in despair.

"Ha ha... Who can stop me at this point? Those divine anomalies? No... They will only see me as one of their own. Killing each other would only benefit a third party... I can fully exploit their conflicts and have the last laugh. The wisdom of monsters is ultimately no match for that of humans... Ha ha... Ha ha... Who can kill me?!"

Amidst his manic laughter, Larry suddenly looked at his own chest. His expression instantly became confused, as if seeing something unbelievable.

There, a hand had, unbeknownst to him, extended out, clutching a fresh red heart.

Splat!

The heart was violently crushed, and Zhong Shenxiu's figure stepped out from the void, saying with a sneer, "Old man, I've put up with you for a long time... Haven't you heard of the saying 'Pride comes before the fall'?"
