Every Version Has Its Own God
"Shut up! Shut up! I just don't want you to die so easily!"
Li Sushang frantically pulled back the Xuanyuan Sword, then clutched her head, shaking it repeatedly, her eyes red, as she tried to refute him in a self-deceiving manner.
"You have the intent to kill, but not the intention. Have you ever killed anyone?"
Fu Hua asked in a low voice, she gently raised the water-attribute Xuanyuan Sword in her hand and touched the wound, causing it to heal rapidly.
"I've killed them, more than one!"
When questioned, Li Sushang responded angrily, adding through gritted teeth, but this clearly revealed the fact that she didn't have much blood on her skin.
"Alright, hold your hand firmly, don't shake, stab the heart, deeper, that's a fatal blow."
"But that's not enough to deal with me. You need to hit multiple vital points in succession. If you want revenge, come at me..."
Fu Hua looked at the face that vaguely resembled Qin Suyin, her tone serious.
"Kill me if you want, don't think I wouldn't dare!"
Li Sushang's face turned bright red, her eyes became bloodshot again, and the Xuanyuan Sword pierced towards Fu Hua's chest crookedly.
At the same time, the Gate of the Heavenly Realm built around Floating Stone Island flickered one after another, and the spatial passages suddenly opened.
A disc-shaped Pioneer-class Battleship billowing black smoke crashed downwards.
"Die!"
Immediately, amidst a loud shout, a figure crashed through the outer wall of the spaceship, a crimson arc of light sweeping diagonally from his hand, arriving in an instant.
The terrifying heatwave from the arc light caused visible ripples in the surrounding air, threatening to incinerate the unsuspecting Li Sushang into ashes.
"When!"
A longsword shimmering with the light of water blocked the greatsword that was capable of incinerating everything.
Due to the violent tremors, Fu Hua's wound reopened, and bright red bloodstains splattered onto Li Sushang's bewildered face.
Kevin hurriedly sheathed his sword, then grabbed Li Sushang by the neck with his left hand, lifting her up with icy eyes.
"Since she can't bring herself to do it, you're not allowed to kill her either."
Fu Hua opened her lips to stop her, her tone resolute.
Kevin closed his eyes lightly, coldly snorted as he flung aside the nearly lifeless Li Sushang, turned to the side to use the Death Authority to heal Fu Hua's injuries, and shook his head helplessly.
"Didn't I tell you before, you have to nip it in the bud? You've learned your lesson once, but you still won't learn your lesson."
Fu Hua smiled gently, somewhat composed, and offered words of Kevin.
"The grudges and grievances of the previous generation have long been settled, so it's only natural for her to seek revenge."
"But don't worry, she can't beat me."
Kevin caught a glimpse of the little girl out of the corner of his eye. She was carrying a sword and was resolutely rushing forward. He frowned slightly, casually pulled out a Feathered Dust, turned it into a point of light, and shot it into the girl's brain.
Instantly, information about the real mastermind behind Qin Suyin's death, as well as the grudges between the Tai Xu Seven Swords and Fu Hua, was all crammed into the girl's mind.
It turns out that Master and the others were actually traitors who betrayed their master and ancestors...
It turns out that my mother was murdered by my sixth uncle...
Why is this happening? Li Sushang, whose original worldview has been repeatedly shaken by so many secrets, stood there dumbfounded, her little face full of disorientation.
Fu Hua sighed softly, a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
Kevin smiled coldly, looked into her lifeless eyes, and slapped her awake.
"You want revenge?"
"I..."
Disoriented and tormented by inner Affliction, Li Sushang was like a soulless rag doll.
"Enough nonsense. Your mother, your master, and you—that's three lives in total. They all died, directly or indirectly, at our hands."
"Don't say I'm bullying a little girl. If you want revenge, I'll give you three chances. If you're confident, you can choose to challenge me or your grandmaster."
"This is a mess to begin with. Whether it's the debt of raising you or the debt of teaching you, three lives are enough to repay it. Now get out of here and go back to master your kung fu!"
Kevin grabbed the girl by the back of the neck with a menacing look and swiftly threw Li Sushang toward Half of the Lieyang Star.
Then he clapped his hands, returned to Fu Hua's side, and grinned, revealing his eight neat teeth in a bright smile.
"See, it's solved. If she dares to come again after this third time, you don't even need to lift a finger, I'll kill her!"
Fu Hua was speechless for a moment, but she also realized that if they were to face endless retaliation, there would be no possibility of peace between them.
Perhaps setting a limit on the number of times and a set timeframe, giving the child the motivation to live and move forward, would be the best outcome for both parties.
You claim to be detached from worldly affairs, but in reality, you are deeply affectionate. Once you develop feelings for someone, you hold nothing back.
Kevin sighed inwardly, quietly grasping Fu Hua's somewhat cold right hand, and the unease in his mind finally subsided slightly.
He truly didn't care whether Li Sushang lived or died. Many people had died at his hands, and who could guarantee that they all deserved it and had no families?
However, he had to consider Fu Hua's feelings. This Immortal Vermillion Bird, had clearly developed feelings for her seven rebellious disciples.
Therefore, Fu Hua devoted herself to raising them to adulthood and teaching them martial arts, but in the end, she was still in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The betrayal of the seven people is also a scar in Fu Hua's heart. The past grievances have been resolved, and perhaps Li Sushang is the medicine that can make up for this regret.
Surrounded by a vast army, Kevin and Fu Hua stood back to back, but their eerie silence made the man, who had prepared for a storm, feel uneasy and uncertain.
"Uh, I'm here. Aren't you angry?"
"I'm sorry I worried you all. I thought I could handle this myself..."
Fu Hua spoke calmly, without Mother, girlish mannerisms, revealing her clear-headedness.
"Since we're already here, how can we not go up and take a look?"
"The monkeys will be here soon, they'll be more than enough to deal with these rotten fish and shrimp!"
"As for Dihong Kun, he is indeed a troublesome case, but it's not that there are no strategies to deal with him."
"I also brought the Queen Mother of the West and those Primordial Experiment Subjects with me. That tigress may need some time to weigh things, but in the end she will definitely be on our side."
Kevin curled his right fingers to grasp a Xuanyuan Sword, and the Herrscher of Reason Core activated, causing thousands of replicas to fill the gaps in the sword formation.
Are you so sure?
Fu Hua attempted to mobilize the surrounding Xuanyuan Sword and, through the Feathered Dust, reconnect with these new toys, achieving a spiritual bond.
"The spaceship's propulsion system failed, and she led a group of Primordial Experiment Subjects to their lair. There are only two possible outcomes."
"Either join forces with us to force Dihong Kun to back down."
"Either we're treated as terrorists, or we and Lieyang Star wipe out these Beast Body life first."
"What do you think she will choose?"
Kevin smiled slightly, placing one hand on Fu Hua's vest, where it shimmered with light.
The defensive system, with the Phoenix outfit as the inner lining and the St. Freya's Fourth Generation Godslayer Armor — Shadow Knight: Moon Wheel—as the outer armor, is being constructed for Fu Hua.
Fu Hua scattered Feathered Dust to transmit the information she had gathered from their previous encounter to Kevin. However, seeing the confident expression on the man's face, she couldn't help but speak up to him.
"Aren't you afraid that the Queen Mother of the West will side with the Heavenly Emperor of Lieyang?"
Kevin shrugged, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"As one of the civilizations that participated in the Form War, it would be a miracle if the Tiandao Palace were to collude with such heretics Queen Mother of the West."
"Besides, I feel like the Queen Mother of the West has brought so many primordial beasts; she can't clear her name even if she jumps into the Yellow River."
"Even if there's any basis for their cooperation, it can only be based on experimental data from the Pangu Civilization."
"But I had Cang Xuan make a copy of that thing using Quantum Computer. In a critical moment, I can simply use it to defect to the enemy and, together with Dihong Kun, wipe out this group of idiots who chose the wrong side!"
Even with her calm demeanor, Fu Hua couldn't help but twitch her lips as she silently mourned for the Queen Mother of the West and Lu Wu.
"You're so mean..."
Kevin wasn't ashamed; on the contrary, he was proud and somewhat smug.
"After all, the Queen Mother of the West is a deity worshipped throughout the Nine Provinces, and has enjoyed incense offerings for thousands of years. How could she just run away like that?"
"We should all share the blame. We missed the Honkai 3rd, but this time we're ganging up on the Lieyang Star, so we have to lend a hand. Don't say I'm not looking out for them."
Looking down from the clouds, dozens of Spatial Rift exploded at the spaceship's crash site, from which a horde of primordial beasts rushed out, wreaking havoc.
The God of War and generals who were originally gathering in the twenty-fourth heaven were immediately attacked from both sides and had to change direction to first defend against these primordial monsters.
After all, the Nine Heavens Xuannü could at most seriously injure them, but these monsters could kill them!
But before the battle formation could take shape, a Dark Alloy Staff as thick as a towering pillar swung in a wide arc, piercing through several floating islands.
At the same time, various colors of light flashed, and countless God of War were lifted up in waves.
Great, the game begins!
Kevin looked at the chaotic army formation, a slight smile playing on his lips. He stepped forward side by side with Fu Hua, and as he looked up at the Tiandao Palace, a thought secretly formed in his mind.
The package containing the Queen Mother of the West and the Kunlun demon beast was merely the first step.
And I've prepared at least three delicious things for you!
Want to stir up trouble? Come on, let's have some fun! Let's see who has the most tricks up their sleeve!
P. S.: I still owe two more chapters. I'll post three chapters in a row tomorrow and the day after to finish this volume as soon as possible. Also, as usual, I'm asking for votes. Thank you.
Chapter 809, Section 846: One Version, One God
Hey, hey, hey, look here!
A cold snort came from the rear of the army formation. Murata Himeko sword, dragged herself forward with overwhelming force. As the sword sliced through the ground, sparks flew everywhere.
"Like a wall, like a forest, solidly like a mountain!"
Under the command of the lower-ranking divine general, the heavenly soldiers automatically split into three columns. One column of heavenly soldiers, dressed in standard black heavy armor and holding square shields, stepped forward and stacked their armor together.
Then, on the armor of the two rows of celestial soldiers, runes flickered, and red and black data streams surged wildly towards the front.
At this moment, a red and black light-like cocoon formed in front of everyone, and continued to thicken and become clearer until it seemed to be a solid substance.
"I'm going to smash your turtle shells right now!"
Murata Himeko fully charged up her power, and the knob on her crimson armor that adjusted the output power was already turned to its maximum.
As the Valkyrie leaped into the air, a burst of dark red light erupted from her body, and her long, flowing hair shimmered with the brilliance of flames.
"Boom!"
The greatsword collided with the cocoon, a deafening roar echoing in all directions. A fierce wind whipped up a cloud of dust, and the confident figure was sent flying backward, looking rather disheveled.
"Defense shield power reduced by 47%..."
"Energy Analysis: Fire Attribute..."
"Calculating the second wave of impact and constructing a defensive rebound system..."
"Warning: Complex energy reaction points have appeared. It is recommended to increase the data stream processing!"
Although the red-haired madwoman who came to charge was temporarily repelled, the energy consumption far exceeded the general's estimate.
The synthesized electronic voice echoing in the minds of the Lieyang Clan caused a sense of anxiety and tension.
As the red-haired madwoman retreated, three silver-white Void Spear were positioned behind her, helping to dissipate the remaining force on her body.
Three girls with spatial abilities, along with a leader surrounded by arcs of lightning, followed closely behind; their rule-based power flickered erratically.
"Hmph, you've got some skills. That was just a warm-up; now it's time for the main course!"
"You three, this is a last-minute assessment. Serve them for a bit! Finish within three minutes, and your homework this week will be halved, plus you get two days off!"
Murata Himeko shook her sore and numb arm, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Seeing that all the students behind her had arrived, she immediately raised her head, put on a stern face, and threw out some harsh words, while handing over the tricky battle to the two Paramecium and Sirin, the three most mobile members of the group.
"Yo-ho! Auntie Himeko has spoken! For the holiday, let's go!"
"No homework, time to play games! Auntie Himeko is the best!"
Kiana and K423, two lazy and academically challenged students, were full of enthusiasm and immediately unleashed their killer move of mental synchronization.
