Chapter 1873: This is my Charles Brother
Jinian's fingertips touching the ground curled inward, tightening into fists.
At the same time, the endless pixels rippling across the surface surged upward into the sky, completely engulfing the figures of the Lesser Gods. Everyone felt their vision blur, and searing pain erupted from every part of their bodies!
From their torsos down to the gaps between their fingernails, it felt as if countless blades were frantically slicing through their flesh. In mere moments, their outer skin evaporated without a trace, leaving crimson flesh and sinew exposed to the pixel storm. Their bodies disappeared at a visible rate.
"What the hell is this?!" One of the Lesser Gods' pupils contracted sharply as he channeled all his divine power, transforming into streaming light to break free from the pixel storm.
His speed was already extremely fast. After breaking through the storm, he looked back to see several slower Lesser Gods already dissolved down to their skeletons. Molecular-level pixel particles constantly gathered into blades invisible to the naked eye, slaughtering their bodies from a microscopic level.
Besides him, three or four other Lesser Gods had barely escaped the storm. Upon witnessing this scene, their scalps went numb.
"Not bad reactions." Jinian leaned against the planet-destroying cannon, hands in pockets, speaking unhurriedly. "Unfortunately, your vigilance still isn't enough..."
She raised her right hand and made an explosion gesture.
"BOOM!"
The next moment, the ticking sound of a time bomb rang out from within several Lesser Gods' bodies. They looked down in bewilderment, and before they could react, their forms burst apart in the sky like fireworks!
Blazing flames consumed the sky. Staring at this grand rain of blood and fireworks, Charles and the others stood frozen in shock.
They had imagined Jinian might be able to handle these Lesser Gods, but they never expected her methods to be so brutal. Even though they had watched the entire time, they still couldn't figure out how those final Lesser Gods had died.
"What's with that expression?"
After finishing off these Lesser Gods, Jinian brushed the dust off her hands. Seeing the peculiar looks on Charles and the others' faces, she couldn't help but ask.
"Ji... Jinian President..." One of the knights couldn't help but speak up. "What kind of Forbidden Ruins is that? Mass self-detonation? That's seriously messed up!"
"Messed up?" Jinian blinked, then laughed as she realized. "It's not that complicated. I just had molecular-level pixels crawl through their noses and mouths, assembling into micro-bombs inside their lungs... It's quite scientific, you know?"
Charles and the others: ...
"Alright, the small fries are mostly dealt with... Weren't there several Chief Gods in Divine Desire Paradise? Why haven't I seen a single one?" Jinian hoisted the planet-destroying cannon onto her shoulder, scanning the ruins in all directions. "And where's the Holy Sovereign? His lair's been blasted to this state and he still won't come out?"
Charles asked, puzzled, "President, by yourself, can you really take on that many Chief Gods?"
"If I can't beat them, can't I just run?" Jinian patted her chest. "Relax, running away is my specialty. Even if I can't win, I can get all of you out safely."
Charles: ...
Charles stared at this silver-haired girl shouldering a huge cannon across the entire map, having lost count of how many times he'd forcibly suppressed the urge to complain... Compared to this unreliable president, their Commander Lin was reliable beyond description.
At the same time,
In front of a palace on higher ground, the leader of Divine Desire Paradise had gone pale as paper.
He had thought the Oath Society posed no threat at all—even if someone had broken through to godhood, they wouldn't be his match... But he had witnessed Jinian massacre the Lesser Gods with his own eyes, and his heart had already begun to retreat.
Whether it was that devastating artillery platform or the wind blade that killed without a trace, it all completely exceeded his understanding. He didn't even need to face Jinian head-on to know he absolutely couldn't match her.
If the Holy Sovereign and the other two Chief Gods were here, four against one they'd have certain victory. But right now, he was the only Chief God in all of Divine Desire Paradise!
Fight? What if she slaughtered him?
Run? Where could he even escape to?
The leader watched Jinian's approaching figure, his heart torn apart by indecision.
Just then, the sky that had still been somewhat bright suddenly dimmed to darkness... Ink-black night rolled in from the north, devouring the entire sky.
A terrifying divine might locked onto the entire Divine Desire Paradise, releasing murderous intent without the slightest restraint. Though that aura hadn't yet reached the supreme level, for some reason, the moment the leader saw that curtain of night, he couldn't help but shudder. A chill enveloped his heart.
"Another one??"
The leader muttered to himself.
Releasing killing intent from that distance meant the newcomer had absolute confidence in wiping out Divine Desire Paradise. He had a premonition that the existence beneath that nightfall would be even more terrifying than the girl shouldering the cannon before him.
"Oh?"
Jinian seemed to sense something, turning to look toward where the night was sweeping in.
"This aura... it's him?" Jinian gazed at that darkness, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly. "Now this is getting interesting..."
From beneath the ink-black nightfall, a crimson figure walked out slowly. He微微低着头，也看到了废墟中热情招手的Jinian，神情有些诧异。
"是司令！！"看清那人的面孔，Charles的眼前顿时一亮！
这把稳了！
跟Jinian打不过就跑的行事方式不同，如今的Lin Qiye是大夏守夜人的总司令，一举一动都牵扯着大局，没有绝对的把握是不会轻易出手，他出现在这里，说明他们至少不用担心半途被Jinian拉着跑路了。
"Jinian？你怎么在这里？"Lin Qiye的身形落在废墟中，疑惑的开口。
"哦，我正好突破，想找人打架来练练手……给你介绍一下，这位是我的Charles兄弟！"Jinian一把搂住Charles的胳膊，咧嘴笑道。
Charles：？？？
我可是他的下属，还用你介绍？你这离间要不要用的这么明显啊喂！
Charles在心中疯狂吐槽。
"Charles……兄弟？"Lin Qiye的目光落在Charles身上，表情有些古怪。
"司令，我们在调查神欲天堂的途中遭遇了一些意外……多亏了上邪会相救，否则估计凶多吉少了。"Charles正色道，"本来我们是打算直接回大夏述职的，但Jinian会长实在是……盛情难却，一定要我们留下来看她暴揍神欲天堂，所以……"
听到这，Lin Qiye算是明白了事情的经过，转而对Jinian说道：
"多谢了。"
"我们之间，还有什么好客气的？"Jinian搂着Charles的肩膀，笑吟吟的回答，"守夜人和上邪会，都是一家人嘛。"
Charles见Lin Qiye神情如常，微微松了口气，迈步便想走回他身边，可Jinian的胳膊像是钢铁般，死死的把他搂在肩头，任凭他如何用力都纹丝不动。
Charles："……"
