The remaining five gods pricked up their ears and listened patiently.

[Xi] said gravely, "According to simple economic theory, in such a big environment, various resources should become very cheap, and the purchasing power of money should become stronger."

"However... reality is quite the opposite!"

"Even Faith Power Crystals, the most stable hard currency, have already started to inflate!"

"I still remember, three centuries ago, buying a planet suitable for silicon-based life only required one standard unit of crystal, but now it takes a full twenty pieces!"

"Though I don’t know exactly what’s happening, but..."

"It can be expected that prices will continue to soar in the future!"

"I’m afraid this first-mover advantage won’t last long; if we don’t strike while the iron is hot, it won’t be long before we’re surpassed by the new generation of gods!"

"A piece of advice for you..."

"After you return, sell everything if you must, but buy more habitable planets."

"Don’t worry about the ’Planetary Industry Bubble’ theory."

"In a few centuries, seeing the universally skyrocketing prices of spheres in the cosmos, you’ll all thank me."

After briefly chatting, the male god codenamed [Sui] and the female god codenamed [Evil] disappeared in a flash, one descending to the Western Hemisphere, the other to the Eastern Hemisphere, planning to act separately and quickly annihilate Earth Civilization.

Plan?

Strategy?

Tactics?

Sorry, there’s none of that.

Raising vigilance slightly was their maximum regard for Earth Civilization.

...

Shua!

[Sui] flickered, and when he reappeared, he was already hovering over Los Angeles, USA.

"...A barren, backward city, even more desolate and dilapidated than expected."

[Sui] slightly curled his lips, a smile appearing on his face: "That’s fine too."

"Destruction, then granting new birth."

Intelligent beings have reasons and motives for most of their actions.

Even as a deity, it is so.

[Sui] looked down on the power of Earth Civilization, yet volunteered to take action, partly to receive a higher rating in this conquest mission of the Divine Court, and also because he harbored purposes similar to [Evil].

Behind the conflicting reasons and behavior patterns, there were deeper motivations.

All along, [Sui] had been playing the fool, staying low-key, having accumulated enough already, just one step away from advancing.

This time, he wanted to witness and comprehend the annihilation of Earth Civilization, thereby perfecting the structure of his divine format, reshaping his divine body, and advancing to the Middle Rank God sequence to become a true overlord!

"Oh? You came really fast!"

[Sui] cast aside his chaotic thoughts, focusing his gaze on the brown-haired, blue-eyed young Caucasian man nearby, speaking calmly as if reciting information: "[God] Gray, National Guardian-level Superpower User, possesses combat power comparable to Lower Rank Gods."

"One of the strongest on this planet..."

At this point, [Sui] curled his lips, his perfectly carved face revealing a sinister look: "As a wild god, to grow to such an extent, your effort, talent, and luck, I acknowledge them."

"As a reward, I will personally bestow upon you the glory of death."

"Well then, next..."

Before [Sui] could finish, he heard the other party’s roar.

"Doomsday Holy Light!"

Endless light surged from all directions.

This light was filled with the aura of destruction, seemingly capable of annihilating everything, yet like seawater or the starry river above, majestic and unavoidable!

The light, brimming with destructive power, completely enveloped [Sui], interrupting his speech.

Moments later, the white light dissipated, revealing [Sui]’s unharmed figure.

His face darkened: "Ill-mannered lower god, interrupting a deity’s speech on your own accord, you will endure unbearable pain!"

Nearby, scattered spots of light gradually coalesced into Gray’s figure.

He looked at [Sui] with a bitter smile: "Clearly felt like I could severely injure you... but couldn’t even hit, is this Avoidance Protection?"

"Just like how it’s portrayed in Earth OL, not reasonable at all..."

Honestly, if not for the strategic material support he received in advance from [Prophet] Ma Ran, facing such incomprehensible, literally out-of-the-standard methods, Gray might have completely despaired by now.

The battle between Earth’s top Extraordinary Ones and the Six Gods of the Divine Court was like a lower-dimensional being vying against a higher-dimensional being.

How can a little stick figure drawn on scrap paper harm a human in the real world?

The more they clashed, the greater the despair.

"Give up."

[Sui] watched Gray with a calm expression, the faint golden light around him gradually twisting into the form of a flame: "You have no chance of harming me."

"If you stop struggling, perhaps I may spare some kindling for Earth Civilization, as a reward."

Gray took a deep breath, his shocked eyes gradually turning resolute: "Thank you for your kindness, but as an enemy, I must destroy you!"

[Sui] was amused, as if hearing a tremendous joke: "Destroy me? Where? When? How will you destroy me?"

Gray narrowed his eyes slightly: "Right here, today!"

"As for how..."

As he spoke, he grasped the air with one hand, pulling hard, extracting a blue pill-shaped capsule from the void.

In an instant, the blue capsule transformed into a Straight-Blade Tang Blade shape, quietly resting in Gray’s hand.

"Avoidance Protection is indeed an unreasonable existence."

"But I’m not fighting alone!"

"Take a good look!"

"This is the anger of Earthlings!"

As his words fell, Gray’s figure turned into a streak of light, cleaving down upon [Sui] in an instant.

Pu tsz!

Sparkling golden blood splattered, forming a dazzling rainbow screen under the sunlight.

"The power of the protection... was broken!"

Golden blood spurted from [Sui]’s chest and abdomen, his expression mingling pain and astonishment: "Impossible! What kind of method is this?"

The blue Straight-Blade Tang Blade shape in Gray’s hand gradually blurred, seemingly on the verge of disintegrating.

He slowly infused the power of [God] into it, stabilizing the blade’s form before leisurely saying: "I call this move..."

"Prophet’s Greeting."

...

Earth, China.

Fujian.

"This place, back against the mountains and facing the sea, has an unexpectedly nice environment."

The goddess named [Evil] looked around, then focused her gaze on Su Qiangwei, speaking in a nonchalant tone: "[Martial God] Su Qiangwei, quite charming; I’ll take your image."

"Once I return to the Divine Court, I’ll..."

Boom!

A violent explosion rang out in [Evil]’s ear, abruptly interrupting her speech.

In an instant, her vision was filled with a black-and-white dual-colored heart constantly pulsating.

It seemed as if billions of years had passed, or perhaps just a blink of an eye, before this black-and-white heart suddenly decomposed.

The power of annihilation condensed onto a Water Quality Thunder Spear.

The violent, unrestrained destructive force suddenly pierced [Evil]’s forehead.

At this moment, [Xi]’s hoarse voice condensed into an information fragment, abruptly surfacing in [Evil]’s consciousness.

"The Earth human codenamed [Prophet] has mastered a way to break through Avoidance Protection!"

"He can even temporarily grant this power to others!"

"Hold on for three more seconds!"

"We’re coming to support immediately!"

"Once we regroup, everyone focus your efforts on exterminating [Prophet] Ma Ran as the top priority!"
