A powerful force surged in instantly, turning the body's flesh and prosthetics a fiery red, like a raging fire.

However, the fire burned not the body, but the soul.

[Second Order Descent].

Bai Wei slowly opened his eyes. The two hearts in front of him seemed to sense something and beat wildly like war drums, causing the entire earth to tremble.

It sounded like a roar, or perhaps a tremor.

"What are you doing!"

Ao Li Wei had broken free from Jie La Er's restraints. He even gripped Jie La Er's Chainsaw Sword in his own hand. He was like a paper doll that would fall over with a gust of wind, charging towards Bai Wei in an extremely bizarre posture. The Chainsaw Sword cut through the air with a teeth-grinding shriek.

"Die!" Ao Li Wei swung his sword at Bai Wei's head.

Bai Wei didn't move at all.

Then, with a whoosh.

Ao Li Wei suddenly felt a lightness in his body.

He lowered his head and discovered that his skin-like body had suddenly been reduced to half, with his internal organs also gone.

Ao Li Wei was stunned.

What... is going on?

Before his body could even react, before the severed parts had even started bleeding, he collapsed to the ground, only then feeling a chill behind him.

A gust of wind blew in, and the sharp, whistling wind that entered the tower was as sharp as a knife.

Ao Li Wei turned around and noticed several wide cracks on the wall behind him, as if they had been cut by a sharp blade.

And through that crack, you could see the rising sun in the distance, just like...

No, that's not the sun.

Ao Li Wei's eyes widened, and he trembled all over.

That's... the pupil.

The pupil of the God of Eternal Life.

He is looking at himself.

No, that's not right.

It's not looking at itself, but at...

Ao Li Wei instinctively turned his head to look at another person in the hall.

Then he noticed that Bai Wei had also turned around and was calmly looking into that pupil.

The man and the god simply looked at each other, leaving Ao Li Wei, who already possessed a degree of divinity, caught in the middle, feeling like an outsider.

This deeply shocked and angered Ao Li Wei.

He has worked hard and planned for so many years.

Only then did I finally obtain my current power and become the Demigod I had always dreamed of...

However, in the presence of a true deity, even a mere glance, or even a non-direct glance, is enough to make his hair stand on end and render him immobile.

They've even almost forgotten the basic instinct of breathing.

But this staring contest didn't last long, because the Lyra God had only been defeated, not killed. He quickly rose again, dragging his immortal tail, and returned to the battlefield where they had just fought.

Once that gaze left, Ao Li Wei seemed to be released from his restraints and began to breathe heavily, just like an asthma patient.

Then he heard footsteps.

When he looked up again, Bai Wei was already standing beside him, but he didn't look at him. Instead, he looked through the crack left by Eternal Life at the two gods fighting fiercely outside the Tower of Babel.

"Isn't it interesting?" Bai Wei said.

"...What?"

"A battle between gods should be earth-shattering, right?" Bai Wei said with a smile. "But look at them, when they fight, it doesn't look earth-shattering at all. It's more like two... wild dogs fighting over food."

The war of the Gods was described as wild dogs fighting over food.

What... arrogant and blasphemous words!

But Ao Li Wei couldn't detect any emotional fluctuation in Bai Wei's words, not even contempt.

It was as if he were simply stating a fact calmly, calmly regarding the Gods as creatures like wild dogs.

This made him unconsciously raise his head and look through the gap... no, it should be the scratch marks, at the battle outside.

How can this be a fight between wild dogs?

Lyra strives to live up to its title of order and machinery, and whenever it raises its hand, it receives a response from the entire city.

The still-intact Gear Train veered off the tracks, spontaneously combusting into flames, like rockets launched from a bow, hurtling towards the God of Eternal Life. Meanwhile, the "thin threads" that once connected the towers transformed under the power of Lyra into steel chains binding the God of Eternal Life.

But even this could not stop the God of Eternal Life. He tore off those "ropes," carried the explosions one after another, and rushed to Lyra's side.

At this moment, He was more like a high-speed Gear Train, directly knocking over Lyra.

The Lyra rolled on the ground, crushing countless houses, but its hand was like a magnet. With just a light swipe on the ground, it attracted countless metal parts, which then automatically assembled and operated, forming a Chainsaw Sword tens of meters long almost instantly.

Then, with a backhand strike, he slashed at Immortal's shoulder. Just like when Bai Wei first saw Jie La Er deal with the contaminants, with a tremendous roar, the Chainsaw Sword slashed downwards, splitting Immortal in two.

The splattered blood stained half the city red.

Ao Li Wei, who witnessed the battle, felt his entire soul tremble, making him unable to continue watching, and he could only desperately lower his head.

Then Bai Wei's voice slowly rang out. "Actually, they should have fought a more spectacular battle, but unfortunately, neither Lyra nor Immortality can be regarded as complete gods anymore, and even... the two of them together cannot be considered complete gods."

Bai Wei's words were tinged with regret.

Upon hearing this, Ao Li Wei raised his head again, but this time he looked at Bai Wei.

However, in his field of vision, he was still looking at Jie La Er.

This should be Jie La Er, this is clearly Jie La Er.

But that look, that tone, that expression—none of those things Jie La Er could pull off.

"You..." Ao Li Wei struggled to suppress his fear and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

Bai Wei did not answer, but continued to watch the battle outside.

Clearly, the battle is not over.

The immortal being, which had been cut in two, stood up shakily again, and the divine blood that had stained half of the city began to boil like water.

Lyra sensed something and immediately brandished her Chainsaw Sword.

Under His guidance, countless metal parts surged from all directions of the city, quickly covering His body, attempting to sculpt a metal form for Him.

Just like the image He has always presented to the world.

Unfortunately, immortality is faster.

The boiling divine blood also shot out blood lines towards Lyra from all directions.

In an instant, Lyra's divine body was pierced by thousands of blood threads.

The metal parts that had not yet covered His body scattered, and He collapsed helplessly to the ground, the balance of power shifting instantly.

"A dead god wants to live, a living god doesn't want to die." Bai Wei shook his head gently. "So one is reckless, the other cherishes his life... the outcome of this battle is predetermined."

"... Who exactly are you?" Ao Li Wei asked again.

Does it really matter who I am?

Bai Wei still didn't answer. He kept his eyes fixed on the two deities in the distance, his tone as relaxed as a retired old man.

In stark contrast to his body... no, to be precise, it was his soul.

Ao Li Wei, who possessed a degree of divinity, could clearly sense that Jie La Er's life force was rapidly waning.

His soul, like burning withered wood, turned to ashes at a visible speed.

It was practically like... self-immolation.

But this same person who was self-immolating was now chatting leisurely with him, commenting on the battle of the Gods not far away.

This struck Ao Li Wei as utterly absurd...and terrifying.

He struggled to stand up.

The battle between Immortality and Lyra is not over yet, nor should his battle.

If we take out Jie La Er, then everything will be fine...

"Pfft."

A steel pipe pierced Ao Li Wei's throat, pinning his head once again to the wall behind him.

"Behave yourself." Bai Wei said indifferently without even looking at him. "I don't have time for you right now."

With his throat pierced, he couldn't speak at all, and what terrified him even more was that he tried to repair the wound, but failed.

A casual attack by Bai Wei left him unable to recover!

Why is this happening?

Bai Wei still didn't explain, but just quietly watched the battlefield in the distance, and then said softly, "Being a god of war is physically demanding."

His left eye, as bright as a star, was now reflecting the God of Eternal Life who was relentlessly attacking Lyra.

"I need to concentrate more."

Bai Wei wasn't the only one watching this battle.

The Lyra People who had already escaped to safety were also watching.

They had never witnessed a battle between gods.

Such a battle made them tremble with fear.

They watched as their homes crumbled amidst a tremendous roar.

They watched as everything they knew vanished into thin air.

This filled them with immense fear.

In their fear, faced with those two powerful deities, they instinctively chose to believe the one they were more familiar with.

That is Lyra, which also uses metal and fights like a warrior.

The madness of last night has been washed away by everything today. Now they just want to return to the peaceful days of the past, or even to go back to yesterday, back to that crazy referendum.

Everything that immortality revealed terrified them.

Therefore, they placed their last hope in their former faith, in the god who had given them everything.

If Lyra can win, then everything can go back to the way it was before, right?

That's what they were thinking.

However, all they saw was Lyra's body explode again, bursting into blooming blood flowers.

Clearly, this was the bloodline that had previously pierced through His body.

Immortality poured its power into Lyra's body. Lyra tried to expel it, but Immortality attacked her like a mad dog.

Even though He kept wielding that enormous Chainsaw Sword, cutting Eternity in two time and time again, it was all in vain. Eternity could be divided into countless pieces and continue to attack Him.

Finally, Lyra's enormous body collapsed to the ground with a roar, and the Eternal Ones, now broken into several pieces, rushed forward and frantically devoured Lyra's body.

Lyra had no strength left to resist, and the hand she had managed to raise was quickly bitten off.

Like livestock at the mercy of others.

At that moment, countless Lyra People broke down.

They knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly; they kowtowed desperately; they even attempted suicide, all in an attempt to stop it all, but to no avail.

Lyra is dying.

"It's over," Bai Wei said softly. "The Old God still can't defeat the New God?"

He seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps he was talking to Ao Li Wei.

But Ao Li Wei was unable to speak at that moment because his throat was damaged and could not be repaired.

Moreover, with Bai Wei immobilizing him, he could only watch helplessly as this battle of gods unfolded.

Watching Lyra being killed by Immortality.

But at this moment, he felt no joy whatsoever.

The cruelty of immortality also filled him with fear.

You should know that the half of his body he has now was destroyed by immortality.

He absolutely refused to believe that immortality would prevent him from sensing his presence, after all, the power of immortality still resided within him.

But immortality... doesn't matter.

Or rather, there was no such consideration at all.

He was like a true beast, wanting only to possess everything and destroy everything.

Should such a god really descend upon this place?

For the first time in ten years, Ao Li Wei began to doubt his decision.

But now, doubt and regret are useless; it's too late.

Lyra, the last hope and the only thing that could rival immortality, was also about to die.

The future of this city... is already decided.

Yong Sheng ate for a full ten minutes.

They gnawed away at Lyra's body, leaving only her skeleton.

Then, He finally realized something, slowly raised His head, and looked at the Tower of Babel.

I saw Bai Wei still sitting in the tower, gazing at Him.

When Immortal turned his gaze toward him, Ao Li Wei felt a chill run down his spine again; the immense pressure felt as if it were about to crush his heart.

Bai Wei still didn't react much, only chuckling lightly as he said, "Finally noticed me, huh?"

Ao Li Wei looked up and saw that Bai Wei had finally stood up.

Meanwhile, the immortal in the distance slowly straightened up, and the bodies that had been severed by the Lyra returned to their original form.

Clearly, He has already set Bai Wei as His next target.

Ao Li Wei had assumed that Immortality would come straight at him, just like he had dealt with Lyra.

But immortality did not come; He simply lowered His head slowly and let out a deep, muffled roar.

It's like... a threat.

This left Ao Li Wei in disbelief.

Because even when Eternal Life dealt with Lyra, it did not take such a step, and its current reaction is as if Bai Wei is an opponent that it fears even more than Eternal Life.

But why is that?!

"It seems that eating the Lyra has given you more rationality," Bai Wei said with a light laugh. "Finally, you're not like a pure beast anymore."

Ao Li Wei didn't know if Immortal could understand Bai Wei's words. He only saw Immortal constantly retracting his body, which had been severed by Lyra, as if he wanted to regain his strength before fighting Bai Wei again.

But why is that?

But what shocked Ao Li Wei even more was Bai Wei.

Faced with the eagerness of immortality, Bai Wei showed no intention of backing down and simply stood there.

It's as if the God of Eternal Life... is the challenger!

Ao Li Wei became increasingly convinced that he was not Jie La Er.

"Who exactly are you?"

Bai Wei remained silent. He suddenly bent down and began to examine a corpse at his feet.

This corpse was something Bai Wei had found somewhere and used as a stool.

What is he looking for?!

Before Ao Li Wei could figure it out, the immortal roared once more and charged towards the Tower of Babel.

Its enormous body caused the earth to tremble with every step it took.

After devouring Lyra, He became even more powerful than before. The way He charged into battle would cause anyone who looked directly at Him to go blind for a moment.

Even Ao Li Wei, who had acquired some divinity, dared not look him in the eye, and simply lowered his head in extreme fear.

Everything is coming to an end.

That's what he was thinking.

Immortality will never stop its actions just because it cares about him.

At this moment, Ao Li Wei couldn't express how much regret he felt.

He just...

"Ah, it's here."

He heard Bai Wei's relaxed voice, and then turned his head again to see Bai Wei take a piece of meat out of the corpse.

His pupils narrowed slightly.

Is this... a tongue?

There's still some time to spare.

Or rather, it's still quite a bit short.

Bai Wei knew very well that with his current abilities, the only way to kill a god was through the Rule of the Left Eye.

Therefore, he needs time, more time, enough time to completely erase immortality without leaving a trace.

Unfortunately, it's still quite a bit short.

He can now activate the rules of the eyes and take away half of the immortal body.

But that's useless. For an existence like immortality, failing to kill it completely is tantamount to killing yourself.

Therefore, he still needs time.

He needs someone to buy him some time.

And for Lyra, the only thing that could buy him time was... Lyra herself.

He reconnected his tongue.

At this moment,

The three body parts were now in one body.

The power he displayed was more complete and more powerful.

This makes immortality even more insane.

If he had reattached his tongue in the first place, then Immortality would have turned its attention directly to him, not Lyra.

But now, it's too late.

Bai Wei raised his head, looked at the immortality that was now so close, and smiled.

His lips were slightly parted.

Those ancient, unquestionable words came from his mouth.

"The Lyra."

"I command you."

"Die for me."

Upon hearing this, Jie La Er's body aged instantly, transforming him into a frail old man almost in a flash.

But in that instant, the nearly dead Lyra suddenly trembled, as if a broken puppet had been pulled back from its string.

The remains of the immortal beings, scattered and devoured, were rapidly converging in one place.

The dissipated Holy Light shone again.

In an instant, flesh and steel transformed into pure and boundless divine power.

Then this divine power coalesced into the shape of a sword.

[Divine Art: Sword of Order]!

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the Sword of Order slashed down from the sky.

Immortality had already sensed something, but it was too late.

So the sword went straight down His spine.

Thump!

His body was pierced from top to bottom, and he was completely nailed to the earth!

"Roar!"

The wailing of this mad and powerful god instantly resounded throughout the entire Lyra!
