I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

As he spoke, he turned and walked over to the mutilated remains of 'Xu Mude' and crouched down for a closer inspection.

'Divine'... a biological weapon manufactured based on the blueprint of [GOD-023·Divine Child Adam].

According to Xu Wenkui, the mature Divines manufactured by the New Beiyang Council were extremely powerful, varying with the number of Divine Factors in their bodies, capable of matching, if not surpassing, Breakthroughers and those who had reached the fifth or sixth Breakthroughs.

However, this Divine in front of him clearly wasn't as formidable as those from the New Beiyang Council, since the experiment had probably just begun.

Based on the performance Xue Jing had observed earlier, this Divine, although quick to learn during the battle with Otogirusu, did not possess Breakthrougher-level combat ability.

Therefore, the cause of the entire Sky Center's trembling must not be this lump of a thing...

There must be other masters.

Hopefully, it wasn't that dozens of test subjects in the laboratory had all gone berserk and escaped.

In addition...

Xue Jing checked his panel.

[Kill special being containing Divinity, Divinity +536]

Earlier, Yu Ga Shenle, wielding Zhao Ye, had slain the Divine. Since Zhao Ye was in the Feather Transformation state, effectively an extension of Xue Jing's body, it was as if Xue Jing himself had killed it.

Just as he had expected, killing this creature did indeed yield a lot of Divinity...

Controlling the Nonexistent Beast, Xue Jing absorbed the [Salted Fish Sword] lying nearby into the void and stood up.

Perhaps due to like attracting like, it didn't bode well that a Divine with only instincts and no consciousness had managed to use a Divine Relic.

There were dozens of Divine Relics in the containment facilities of Xu's Biology; Xue Jing had handled all of them, and several had particularly troubling abilities.

If any Divine got ahold of one, he truly wasn't sure he could handle it.

However, he had already sent the message to the government of the Inner Ring Three Cities, so they would likely send powerful forces soon to quell the incident. At present, his task was to protect the distressed civilians as much as possible, not to confront unknown numbers of Divines.

"Shenle, let's go, we continue upward," Xue Jing said to Otogi Shenle next to him.

Currently, he was on floor 786, while Xu's Biology was located from floor 1002 to 1102. As they approached this area, the disaster's effects were expected to be more severe.

In any case, his goal was the floors where Xu's Biology was located, going up and saving people along the way.

From the shadows around, numerous black streams converged on him, forming into burning Dark Flames which forged a suit of Dark Enchained Armor on his body.

The urban legend Black Dragon Knight entered the scene.

He then pointed at Otogi Shenle and the black streams similarly wrapped around her, forming a suit of female Dark Enchained Armor that covered her entire body, leaving only her eyes visible.

"Eh? What's this?" Otogi Shenle curiously looked at her hands adorned with black hand armor.

"This is one of my God-Given Secret Arts, Shadow Flame," Xue Jing said.

"You now don't want to be seen by others, right? Wear it."

"Let's go, keep up with me," Xue Jing said.

With a step, he surged upward, brutally breaking through the ceiling to a higher level.

Otogi Shenle smiled softly and followed him.

...

Due to an unknown cause of severe tremors, the Sky Center was now in complete chaos.

Natural disasters always bring about the dark side hidden deep within some evil-minded individuals.

"Stop, what are you doing to me!! Help!! Help!!!"

A well-dressed woman of fine proportions fell to the ground, looking in terror at the burly middle-aged man in front of her.

"Shut up!"

He delivered an extremely forceful slap, nearly knocking the woman unconscious; immediately blood trickled from the corner of her mouth as she fearfully covered her mouth, not daring to speak again.

"We're all fucking going to die anyway, what's wrong with letting me have some fun?" the middle-aged man, with ferocious looks and bloodshot eyes, began unbuckling his belt.

"Shoop—"

A blurred dark shadow swept past, and the middle-aged brawny man stopped all his movements, frozen in place with a dazed expression.

After a few seconds, a vertical line of blood slowly appeared in the middle of his body, and his body gradually slid apart to the left and right, scattering various dark and red innards all over the ground.

"Aaaaah!!"

The woman screamed in horror.

Such scenes were happening in many places.

As huge stones fell from the ceiling, the shadow swept past, turning the stones into powder.

In a crowd where a stampede was happening, the shadow swept past, and everyone was forcibly separated by layers of thin black walls, creating a safe distance.

People rushing to board flying vehicles and escape, but who hurriedly stepped into emptiness and fell, found themselves safely standing on the flying vehicle after the shadow swept past.

People crying loudly from grave injuries found their wounds healed enough to regain basic mobility after the shadow swept past.

Otogirusu followed behind Xue Jing, watching him count in seconds and swiftly handle all the disasters unfolding before him, somewhat startled.

She could hardly lend a hand... it was too fast.

Fast and precise judgments. Flawless actions. Every event was handled perfectly, leaving no room for criticism.

Those who were helped and saved couldn't even realize what had happened.

Even on the rare occasions when he seemed to be out of clones, he actually could create more... several pale golden figures followed him, each dealing with different situations simultaneously.

It could only be described as sweeping away fallen leaves with an autumn wind; wherever he passed, everyone was saved, and all disasters were mitigated.

He was truly a superhero capable of saving everything before him.

Otogirusu watched with sparkling eyes, almost shooting out little stars.

Xue Jun... so impressive.

"Don't space out, keep up."

Xue Jing quickly surveyed the area, felt there were no problems on this floor, and immediately leapt up, breaking through the ceiling to ascend higher.

As soon as he arrived, he frowned, sensing something was amiss, and turned his head to the left.

His Meditative Visualization operated, penetrating through several thick walls, and he 'saw' a figure half-crouching on the ground.

In his Meditative Visualization, the figure's details were slowly outlined; completely naked, with an expression of child-like innocence and curiosity, resembling Xu Mude closely.

It was undoubtedly another Divine being.

This floor seemed to be the headquarters of some company, filled with offices. At this moment, besides the Divine, Xue Jing didn't sense anyone else.

After considering, he thought for a moment, his head suddenly crackled, accompanied by silver-white electric arcs, as the Lightning Dragon Horn grew from his head.

Following that, the silver-white Lightning Dragon Horn immediately underwent a transformation, twisting into a spiraled, burning Red Gold Flame Thunder Dragon Horn.

He extended his right hand's index finger, aimed at the Divine through several walls, where the destructive Red Gold Flame Thunder converged, compressed, and emitted intense light.

When Otogirusu followed him to this floor, what she saw was this scene, causing her to pause in surprise again.

Xue Jun... just how many abilities does he have?

With her superpower-like intuition, she immediately sensed that if the Flame Thunder Light gathered at his fingertip were aimed at her, even a mere graze would cause her to instantly vanish from the world, with no possibility of defense.

Such killing power was truly extreme.

Worthy of the man she swore to chase for life... just how much strength was he still hiding?

Otogirusu's heart surged, her blood boiling.

The more powerful he was, the greater her motivation to chase... despite knowing she likely could never surpass or defeat this man in her lifetime or obtain the immense happiness hidden at the finish line.

But the happiness was there... it would never disappear, waiting for her to chase it.

Just that thought alone gave Otogirusu a comforting sense of security.

"Xue Jun..."

Under Otogirusu's excited and fervent gaze, thunder roared.

"Boom—!!"

Amidst the loud noise, the Flame Thunder Light Cannon fired, instantaneously penetrating all the walls, striking the unwitting Divine.

In just an instant, the upper half of the Divine turned to ash, disappearing from the world, leaving the lower half with a wound charred black, where the destructive Flame Thunder lingered, causing continuous damage.

...
