Chapter 1872: Jinian's Planet-Killer Cannon
Divine Desire Paradise.
"Strange, Holy Sovereign and the others have been gone so long, why haven't they come back yet?"
Inside the magnificent palace, a Chief God was lounging on a soft recliner when he suddenly recalled something and asked with puzzlement.
Standing beside him were two beautiful maidservants. One knelt on the ground holding a golden fruit tray, while the other stood behind him, gently massaging his shoulders with soft hands, making him unconsciously squint with comfort.
"Master of the Palace, why the rush... The longer Holy Sovereign and the others take to return, the longer you get to temporarily manage Divine Desire Paradise. Isn't it better to enjoy yourself a bit more?" The maidservant massaging his shoulders spoke softly, her teal-colored hair drifting past the Chief God's nose, carrying a faint fragrance.
A look of rapture appeared in the Master's eyes. He grabbed the maid's wrist behind him and pulled her into his embrace. She let out a soft moan and leaned in weakly, not resisting at all.
"That does sound nice... but the outside situation is too dangerous right now. What if Great Xia attacks? How could I stop them alone? They haven't come back, and I can't shake this uneasy feeling..."
The Master sighed.
"Great Xia is so far away, how could they possibly find us so easily? We'd have enough trouble dealing with those Cthulhu Faction gods as it is." The maid took a cherry from the fruit tray, bit it gently between her lips, then passed it to the Master mouth-to-mouth.
Hearing this, the worry on the Master's face faded somewhat. "You're right."
He waved his hand, dismissing the maid holding the fruit tray. The latter understood immediately and closed the main doors behind her before leaving. The Master pulled the maid in his arms into his embrace. After some intimate contact, her face was already flushed red.
She half-open her collar and leaned close to the Master's ear, asking in a voice that made his spine tingle:
"Master of the Palace, tonight this one wants to taste the 'forbidden fruit' again... is that okay?"
"'Forbidden fruit'?"
The Master hesitated. "That thing can't be used casually... If Holy Sovereign finds out, there will be serious consequences."
"Master of the Palace~ Holy Sovereign isn't here right now. You're the master of Divine Desire Paradise. Who gets to use these things isn't entirely your decision... If you don't say and I don't say, how would Holy Sovereign ever know?" The maid pressed on.
Under her persistent assault, the Master finally relented, instructing carefully:
"You can use the 'forbidden fruit,' but no one else can know, and don't leave any traces, understand?"
"Thank you, Master of the Palace~"
The maid giggled softly, wrapping both arms around the Master's neck. Just as she was about to continue, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from the distance!
BOOM—!!
The palace shook violently. Commotion came from outside the hall. The Master's face changed. He pushed the maid in his arms aside, hastily putting on clothes while rushing outside.
He pushed open the main doors. A Lesser God from Divine Desire Paradise happened to be rushing over and immediately asked:
"What's going on?"
"S-someone is attacking!"
The Master's heart sank. "Who? Great Xia? Or the [Hidden Gods]?"
"It's the Oath Society!"
"The Oath Society?" Upon hearing these three words, the Master froze, then his tension vanished entirely as he sneered, "Just a bunch of ants. They don't even have a proper god-level expert among them. How dare they directly attack us here?
What about the sentries? A group of gods can't even stop some humans? What are they good for?"
"Master, something's not right here... The Oath Society has summoned some kind of weapon that blew up all the sentries in one shot!" The Lesser God pointed toward the distant billowing smoke. "They've already fought their way to the entrance of the palace complex!"
"What??!"
...
"Brother Charles! Look how amazing my cannon is!"
Through the swirling dust, Jinian patted the pixelated planet-killer cannon beside her that was taller than a person, her face full of excitement.
Charles and the others, still wrapped in bandages, stared at the scattered remains of the Lesser Gods in the distance, then at the tech-savvy super cannon beside Jinian, their minds completely blank.
"Planet-killer... cannon?" Charles said dumbly.
"Yeah." Jinian puffed out his chest. "The blueprints for this thing were stolen from my father, but my charging ability isn't quite enough yet. I can probably only unleash about ten percent of its power. If my father fired it personally, destroying a planet wouldn't be a problem!"
Charles: (⊙_⊙)
"President Jinian, aren't we being a bit too conspicuous?" Charles tried to stay rational and carefully worded. "Commander Lin's orders were only to investigate Divine Desire Paradise. Now we've almost wiped them out..."
"Don't worry. This place is also a hidden danger for Great Xia. Even if we didn't act, Lin Qiye would probably send people here soon anyway. You don't need to feel pressured... Besides, this is also a personal grudge between us and them. Before I became a god, these guys harassed us repeatedly. If it weren't for Utopia being able to move, we'd probably have been destroyed long ago."
After finishing, Jinian forcefully lifted one corner of the planet-killer cannon's barrel, aiming at the most central palace. The corners of her mouth curved upward:
"Today this lady will teach them... what口径即真理 means!"
Divine power surged through the cannon. A deep blue aura lit up inside the barrel, and in the next moment, a thick beam of light erupted forth!
BOOM—!!!
Amid the violent trembling of the earth, a sun-like fireball expanded in the distance. The sacred hall symbolizing Holy Sovereign was instantly reduced to ashes. The blinding firelight caused Charles and the others to instinctively cover their eyes. Just the aftershock of the explosion nearly knocked them off their feet!
"Holy Sovereign's sacred hall!!"
"This reckless woman! How dare she cause trouble at Divine Desire Paradise?!"
"If Holy Sovereign were here, he'd probably be furious... Before he returns, let's capture this woman first!"
"She's just one person! We can take her together!!"
"..."
The Lesser Gods scattered throughout Divine Desire Paradise saw this, their expressions turning grim. They immediately attacked from all directions, intending to kill Jinian and her group on the spot!
Charles and the others, seeing so many enemies, gripped their weapons warily. Although Jinian's planet-killer cannon could obliterate a god in one shot, under this kind of encirclement, there simply wasn't enough time for her to fire them one by one.
"Bring it on!"
Jinian felt the killing intent sweeping around her. Her eyes burst with brilliant light as her palm slammed heavily onto the ground!
A violent gust of wind burst forth from Jinian's palm, lifting the ragged edges of her cloak. The earth beneath everyone's feet immediately began to decompose like quicksand, breaking into pixel particles finer than sand grains. Ripples emanated from her palm as the center.
In just half a second, all the earth and palaces within a ten-li radius were decomposed into countless pixels. Many Lesser Gods felt their feet go empty as they found themselves already standing within this world of pixels.
