Snap!

The Scarecrow puppet was discarded on the ground.

Everyone present.

Whether it's Zhang Lingqi's trio or the Watcher Scarecrow on the ground with only its head remaining.

All eyes were focused on the woman in purple in the middle.

The first seat of the Desolate God Society, [Void] Guyue Xuyu.

And Gao Qiu, the Minister of War of the Dragon Xia Empire, and his younger brother, Gao Xia, the fourth seat of the Desolate God Society, [Magician].

How did these three suddenly appear here?

The story begins half an hour earlier.

Thirty kilometers away, in the dark forest of the Time Rift.

Guyue Xuyu, along with the Gao brothers, had just passed through the boundary portal and stepped into this space.

Their purpose for this trip was very clear: to find the legendary top-grade material for forging divine artifacts, [Gengjin Divine Iron].

However, the three hadn't gone far when they were spotted by a Scarecrow lurking in the grass.

The puppet lurked in the shadows, its empty gaze fixed on Guyue Xuyu.

"Dragon horns... exquisite beauty..."

"Isn't this the perfect non-human girl?"

Without the slightest hesitation, the dutiful puppet sprang up from the bushes.

Chao Guyue Xuyu launched a sneaky attack, attempting to tie him up with straw ropes!

However, its meager strength was nothing short of a joke in front of the First Seat of the Desolate God Society.

Even without the Gao brothers making a move, Guyue Xuyu merely flashed a cold look in his eyes.

The dragon's might erupted, pinning the puppet to the ground and forcibly controlling it in reverse!

"A lowly, ignorant creature that doesn't know its own mortality."

Guyue Xuyu looked down at her long dress, which had been torn.

"How dare you covet my body... you're asking for trouble!"

Let's rewind to the present.

Guyue Xuyu stood on the broken wall of the abandoned factory, locking onto the culprit on the ground.

The Scarecrow's head was staring at her.

However, the moment she met the gaze of that straw head...

Guyue Xuyu's pupils suddenly contracted!

She emerged from that head, which was emitting a faint breath.

I sensed a familiar presence!

That deep-seated fear is impossible to shake off!

"It's him?!"

"No... no! This is just a cheap fake..."

Even though reason tells her it's a fake.

However, Guyue Xuyu's body still subconsciously took two steps back.

His fingers gripped the Dragon Bone Longbow tightly.

Gao Qiu and Gao Xia, who were standing beside them, keenly noticed this detail.

They exchanged a glance, both feeling that something was off about the Scarecrow.

But the Imperial Advisor had given me countless instructions before I left.

No matter what happens, we must protect Guyue Xuyu at all costs and follow her lead without question.

Since this ignorant monster just offended Miss Guyue Xuyu.

If it made her feel uncomfortable, then there's only one way to handle it...

Kill it!

So, while Zhang Lingqi and his two companions were still in doubt...

Gao Qiu, dressed in a red official robe, snorted and raised his hand.

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by the sound of the ocean waves, blue light burst forth from his hand.

A giant axe covered in water ripples appeared out of thin air!

The moment Zhang Lingqi saw this weapon, he was terrified and could no longer hide the shock in his eyes!

"Raging Wave Axe?!"

In Zhang Lingqi's mind, the epic battle in the Sea-Cleaving Land came to mind!

How could that weapon, capable of cleaving a wave ten thousand feet in two with a single axe stroke, be in the hands of this red-robed official before us?!

"Tremble, you ants!"

Gao Qiu looked down at the crowd from his high vantage point, his voice booming like a bell.

Go to hell with reverence.

"Remember the names of those who killed you..."

"Gao Qiu, Minister of War, of the Dragon Xia Imperial City!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Raging Wave Axe in his hand swelled in the wind, transforming into a giant blade tens of meters long that could split the heavens.

It swung down towards the three people below and the Scarecrow's head!

"Gexi!"

The goblin hero roared in alarm.

"I see!"

Gexi was on high alert and immediately activated the Order.

"A killing machine, devoid of meaning, disarmed!"

However, the next second, Gexi's expression changed drastically!

It's no use!

The giant axe that fell from the sky not only didn't disappear, but it fell even faster!

"This... how is this possible?!"

A storm raged within Gexi's heart.

"In my sense of Order, I can't detect the existence of this weapon at all?!"

"The Raging Wave Axe is about to come down!"

The goblin hero watched the shadow above him grow ever closer, and gripped the broken sword tightly with both hands.

"Gexi, how about... I use that move?"

"No!"

Gexi grabbed him, sternly stopping him, "You'll die if you forcefully draw your sword! I already know what happened!"

Gexi raised his head again and once again aimed his hands at the Raging Wave Axe in mid-air.

"Since my Order cannot perceive that it is a weapon..."

"That means this thing isn't a physical weapon at all, but an energy creation!"

"Since we can't disarm them, let's change the rules!"

"Order Reconstruction, attacks prohibited!"

"Buzz!"

The barrier of rules instantly spread out in mid-air.

The Raging Wave Axe hovered in mid-air, unable to move!

"Um?"

On the broken wall, Gao Xia laughed in a sarcastic tone upon seeing this.

"Hey, my brother, what are you doing?"

"Are they just posing here? Why don't you just chop them up with an axe?"

Gao Qiu frowned, and the veins on his right hand, which was gripping the handle of the Void axe, bulged.

"Shut up! I didn't stop..."

"Something strange has forcibly locked down my attack movements!"

"It's sequence 016 [Order]."

Standing to the side, Guyue Xuyu See Through the deception at a glance and spoke up.

"In active defense or offense, it usually only works on a single target."

"Gao Xia, go and take out that guy in sunglasses."

"Yes, Miss Gu Yue, as you wish."

Gao Xia bowed respectfully.

He then straightened up and covered his right eye with his hand.

"Well then... let's see how my luck is today, Gao Xia!"

"Fate is determined by the wheel of fate; what power do we have to draw it now!"

"All kinds of Supernatural Ability are now in my hands, the roulette wheel stops... appear!"

After saying that, Gao Xia removed her hand!

A phantom roulette wheel appeared in his right pupil.

Countless numbers representing Supernatural Ability were jumping around within it!

Final...

The fluctuating number froze firmly on [017]!

Sequence 017 [Calamity]!

Upon seeing this number, Gao Xia was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter!

Hahaha! Riding a swift horse in the spring breeze, I can see all the flowers of Chang'an in a single day!

"Great luck today!"

His entire body emitted a dark red light.

"Sorry, little one, but let me, your uncle, personally destroy your ridiculous Order!"

"Don't even think about touching him!"

Zhang Lingqi roared and activated [Executioner] mode.

He transformed into a Void black shadow, brandishing his scythe as he charged towards Gao Xia!

However, just as the scythe was about to strike Gao Xia...

Gao Xia neither dodged nor evaded, but threw a punch!

"Boom!"

The essence of [Calamity] is to bring destruction!

It can ignore all Intangibility shields.

Even spatial folding forcibly imposes the laws of destruction upon the target!

Zhang Lingqi felt the destructive force pierce through his death phantom, bombarding his soul and body!

"Puff!"

Zhang Lingqi was blasted away and rolled on the ground more than a dozen times before he could barely regain his footing.

Zhang Lingqi's prized ability to Intangibility was perfectly countered, and he was caught in a fierce battle, suffering repeated defeats!

"Hahaha! Come on! Come on!"

Gao Xia continued to close in, just as he was about to strike again.

His gaze suddenly fell upon the faint Half Moon mark on Zhang Lingqi's wrist.

Gao Xia's smile froze, and then her eyes turned sinister.

"This guy has the Death Imprint of Nantong on his hands!"

Gao Nantong is not only Gao Qiu's nephew, but also Gao Xia's biological nephew!

"What?!"

Hearing this, Gao Qiu, who had been held back by [Order], erupted in Wrath!

He wasn't particularly grieving over the death of his good-for-nothing nephew, Gao Nantong, but rather furious at...

How dare a few ants from the Barbaric Realm touch Gao Qiu's people!

This is an insult to his reputation as Minister of War!

"You... all must die!!!"

Gao Qiu revealed his true strength!

"Expand the domain [King's Treasury]!"

Rumble!

Accompanied by golden light, the surrounding ruins were enveloped by a massive palace!

Countless treasures and weapons float on either side of the palace.

Not only do they have top-grade Spirit Artifact, but they also have top-grade Weird Artifact!

On the high platform in the very center of the main hall stands a golden chair!

Gao Qiu flicked his long sleeves and stood at the foot of the dragon throne steps, but dared not sit down at all.

Because within this team, Guyue Xuyu's status far surpasses his.

Gao Qiu stood in the center of the treasure vault, looking down at Gexi was covered in sweat, and mocked him.

"Kid, your abilities are indeed a bit troublesome, but if you think that's enough to contend with me..."

"That's nothing compared to my treasure trove!"

Gao Qiu raised his hand and pulled a chain from thin air.

At the end of the chain was a coffin nail covered with dark red runes.

"[Seven-Star Dragon-Slaying Nail]."

"I went to great lengths to get my hands on this."

"Since your Order can stop an axe, then take this nail and collect some interest for my nephew!"

"Go!"

With a flick of his wrist, the Seven-Star Dragon-Slaying Nail shot out, piercing through the distance of space and heading straight for Gexi!

"Damn it, I didn't kill your nephew, why are you messing with me!"

Gexi was currently maintaining the attack ban on the Raging Wave Axe and was completely unable to spare any attention, so he could only helplessly complain!

"Pfft!"

"Ugh!"

The nail pierced Gexi's ankle, pinning him to the ground!

The pain caused a brief blank in Gexi's mind, and the rules of [Order] collapsed!

"Boom!"

Freed from the constraints of Order, the Raging Wave Axe suspended in mid-air roared.

He swung the weapon down on the fallen Gexi's head again!

Gexi is about to be cleaved in two!

Zhang Lingqi was in the distance, was tightly entangled by Gao Xia and could barely protect himself, so he had no time to rescue him!

Only him...

"When!"

A clang of metal clashing echoed within the palace!

The blast wave sent surrounding rocks flying.

Gexi opened her eyes and took off her sunglasses, which were now covered in cracks.

He looked at the not-so-tall, even somewhat ugly, back of the figure blocking his way.

It is the goblin hero, Abu.

He didn't use any Supernatural Ability, but rather his frail mortal body.

He used that broken sword, which had no blade, to block the Raging Wave Axe!

"Click... click..."

The sound of bones cracking kept coming from Abu's body.

His skin cracked and bled profusely.

"Abu... you..."

Gexi's eyes reddened, and her voice became hoarse.

Abu braced his hands against the broken sword, bleeding from all seven orifices due to the immense pressure.

Even so, he still turned his head and smiled at Gexi.

"Cough cough... It's alright, Gexi..."

Abu spoke haltingly as he coughed up blood.

"Actually... if it weren't for you, I probably would have died at the hands of those monsters long ago."

"Ever since you came to the tribe,..."

"You've always been the one using your abilities to protect me and everyone else."

"Now... let me, a weak goblin, protect you this once!"

Upon hearing this, Gexi was filled with grief and indignation, and tears mixed with dust streamed down his face.

But he was powerless to do anything, because the Seven-Star Dragon-Slaying Nail had sealed his meridians.

"Hehe... What a touching sentiment."

On the high platform, Gao Qiu watched this scene and uttered a mocking remark.

He even deliberately relaxed the power of the Raging Wave Axe a little, looking down at Abu as if he were Clown.

"You?"

"A humble..."

"Weak..."

"Goblins, who are at the very bottom of the food chain in the Barbaric Realm?"

"You and your pathetic race, from the moment of your birth, were destined to be nothing more than cannon fodder to be used as sacrifices."

"Still dreaming of being a hero?"

You're wrong!

Abu raised his head, stared at Gao Qiu, and let out Unyielding roar.

Every life has its own meaning!

"We goblins are weak and ugly..."

"But that doesn't mean we're born to be cannon fodder!"

"I was born to be insulted by people like you big shots!"

The meaning of life...

"It's definitely not up to you to decide..."

"It should be defined by ourselves!!!"

"Click... click..."

With this roar, and before everyone's shocked eyes...

Abu actually... took a step forward, bracing himself against the Raging Wave Axe!

Gao Qiu's mocking expression froze.

"This... this is impossible!"

Gao Qiu looked on in disbelief, "Even if I went easy on him, his physical abilities are barely even B-grade!"

"And it's absolutely impossible to withstand the weight of the Raging Wave Axe!"

Meanwhile, Guyue Xuyu, who was observing from a high vantage point, seemed to sense something was amiss.

Her gaze was fixed on the broken sword in Abu's hand, which was trembling violently!

That is...

Guyue Xuyu's expression changed drastically.

"Finish him off quickly! Stop playing around! That sword is..."

But it was too late.

"Buzz!"

Its brilliance is overwhelming, impossible to defeat!

The high temperature swept away the gloom over the entire King's Treasury!

That rusty broken sword seemed to be a deity that had been asleep for millions of years finally opening its eyes!

Enveloped in a layer of golden light!

Everyone present was so shocked by this power that they were unable to move.

Even the Watcher Scarecrow not far away stared wide-eyed, intently studying...

This energy fluctuation is being recorded!

At the same time, the Raging Wave Axe was being pushed upwards inch by inch in the face of this light!

"Impossible! Just a goblin! That's absolutely impossible!"

Gao Qiu was both shocked and furious. His pride could not tolerate him being Suppression by a goblin!

He tried to suppress the Raging Wave Axe, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree—completely futile!

Because it is at the center of the light.

Goblin Warrior Abu has straightened his spine and stood up.

His body was turning to ashes, but his soul transformed into the most dazzling light at that moment.

He raised the holy sword, which shone with dazzling light.

With the last ounce of his strength, he sang the epic of the goblins!

An epic of the Ordinary Sequence!

"Now that I have stepped onto the battlefield, there is no turning back..."

"Use bone marrow as fuel!"

"Use the soul as fire!"

"I burn out my last ounce of light, just to exchange for this fleeting moment of glory, so that heaven and earth will remember... that I was here!"

"Awaken, Blazing Sun!!!"
