Kill Demigod

No one is born a hero!

There are only those who grow from weakness, draw courage from fear, and see greatness in the ordinary.

Humans grow...

Lu Yuanming knew he wasn't good with people, so he treated everyone he met with the utmost sincerity.

He wanted to live, to awaken from his vegetative state, so he cherished life even more. He wanted the continuation of human civilization, he wanted...

In these days, Lu Yuanming absorbed all sorts of good things like a sponge. He was growing, and at a speed that others couldn't comprehend.

Lu Yuanming knew that stepping out now was a foolish thing to do.

What he should have done was stay with the rest of his team and wait for this monster outbreak to pass.

But... he wanted to do something.

Just like when he first arrived in the Dark Matter World, when he was backstabbed and cornered by a Man-faced Dog in a dog hole, how much he wished someone would appear to help him, someone who could bring him light and hope.

Because he had experienced such despair before, Lu Yuanming now truly understood the despair of those who suddenly arrived in the Dark Matter World and were immediately faced with monster attacks.

In this darkness, they wanted to see light.

And he happened to be holding a torch.

So... why couldn't he become their light at this moment!?

Lu Yuanming's spear trembled, sending a lunging monster flying, but at the same time, a tremendous force surged, and Lu Yuanming could only block it with his other arm. With a bang, the armor on his arm shattered. This immense power sent him flying over thirty meters, crashing into several damaged vehicles. While smashing through the vehicles, he rolled on the ground for another ten meters.

Where Lu Yuanming had been standing moments ago, a Cyclops was wielding a utility pole as a weapon.

This Cyclops was about fifteen meters tall, with a thick and sturdy build. Its skin was bluish-gray, not like flesh and blood, but more like rock such as granite. The ground trembled with its every step.

This was a new monster that emerged from the darkness after Lu Yuanming had killed the three Giant Monsters present.

The moment he saw the Cyclops, Lu Yuanming immediately knew that this Giant Monster was different from the previous three, or indeed from any other monster.

It possessed a certain... intelligence!

When Lu Yuanming killed two of the Giant Monsters, the remaining one had lost its will to fight. As he charged, the remaining Giant Monster actually used other monsters as shields, clearly unwilling to face him head-on.

But strangely, this monster didn't flee. It was only killed when he finally took it down. This monster clearly had an instinctual fear, yet it didn't dare to run even a step until its death.

Later, Lu Yuanming realized that these Giant Monsters were not the highest leaders of the monsters. The Cyclops that emerged from the darkness was!

Lu Yuanming endured the intense pain in his right hand, knowing that the bones in his right arm were likely shattered.

His semi-automatic rifle was already broken, and even his armor, Steel, couldn't withstand the Cyclops' attack.

And this Cyclops was even more divine... not just strong in body and powerful, but possessing true extraordinary power.

When the Cyclops' single eye gazed upon him, he felt his whole body become heavy, as if immense pressure had appeared out of nowhere, making it impossible for him to dodge the Cyclops' attacks with his speed. In terms of strength, the Cyclops' power was at least several times greater than his, clearly not something a mortal could contend with.

Lu Yuanming lay on the ground for two seconds. He was about to get up, but just then, that same immense force appeared out of nowhere again. And this immense force was definitely not an illusion, because the small stones beside him were directly crushed, and some metal strips from exploded vehicles were also flattened on the ground.

This is... gravity!?

Lu Yuanming's mind flashed with some mythological stories he had read before.

Cyclops appeared in many myths worldwide, and the most famous was undoubtedly the Cyclops in Greek mythology. It was said that all Cyclops were the offspring of the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia, demigods with Titan blood. If one were to seek the origin of the Cyclops from the accumulation of human civilization, then the Cyclops' Xu should be related to gravity or the earth.

This immense power came from nowhere, pressing Lu Yuanming down so much that he couldn't get up. He could only kneel on the ground, trying to lift his head and body bit by bit. In the distance, a hint of humanity appeared in the Cyclops' single eye. It looked at Lu Yuanming with a playful gaze, then slowly walked towards Lu Yuanming step by step, each step shaking the earth.

Get up... get up...

Lu Yuanming desperately tried to stand up, but the immense force pressing down caused his armor to slowly tear, and his skin and muscles began to tear as well.

"Get up, hurry up and get up!"

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from the buildings on both sides of the road. The Cyclops looked over, and then monsters immediately lunged from the street towards the source of the shouting.

The Cyclops then turned its gaze back to Lu Yuanming, who was about to stand up. The immense force from nowhere once again pressed Lu Yuanming to his knees.

"Get up!"

"Hero, get up!"

"Get up, get up!!"

As the monsters rushed towards the places where the sounds originated, the entire street on both sides fell silent again. After two or three seconds, a large number of voices suddenly roared and hissed. There were men and women, old and young. They hid on the buildings on both sides, surviving precariously amidst the monster horde. But at this moment, some inexplicable emotion infected them, making them disregard the risk of exposing their location. Even with the threat of monsters, these people still let out their roars, one after another from the buildings on both sides, the sounds growing louder and more numerous.

At this moment, gunshots suddenly rang out. Charlie, Peter, the soldiers from the organization, and Tang Zhean all aimed their firearms at the street below, shooting at the monsters, shooting at the Cyclops, and at the same time shouting words of encouragement to get up.

Lu Yuanming clenched a Colorless Light Particle. At this moment, the Cyclops looked towards the buildings on both sides and roared, wanting to suppress the sound of people shouting to get up.

In this instant, the light around Lu Yuanming exploded, surging outwards for more than ten feet.

Like a bolt of thunder, like a flash of lightning, Lu Yuanming leaped up, covering dozens of meters in a single moment. The instant the Cyclops looked back, the spear in his hand swept out. The entire spear was bent into a semicircle and then fiercely whipped onto the Cyclops' calf bone. With crackling explosions, the spear shattered into pieces, and the Cyclops' calf bone directly bent backward. The massive body toppled to the ground.

Everything around Lu Yuanming slowed down immensely. He leaped up, and as the utility pole in the Cyclops' hand swept towards him, he dodged it by a hair's breadth, jumping directly onto the Cyclops' belly, then charged towards the Cyclops' head.

All of this happened too quickly. The sounds of people getting up around him hadn't even stopped, and Lu Yuanming had already rushed to within two meters of the Cyclops' head. At the same time, the Cyclops' other hand directly covered its single eye, trying to block Lu Yuanming's attack and approach with its palm. Simultaneously, Lu Yuanming felt the pressure on his body rapidly increasing.

The gravity exerted by this Cyclops was far greater than what he had felt before. It could even exert it without looking. Only then did Lu Yuanming suddenly realize that the Cyclops had hidden a trump card. As the palm was about to cover the single eye, Lu Yuanming not only didn't stop but unleashed all his strength, using all his speed to charge directly towards the giant eye.

Just as Lu Yuanming reached the single eye, the Cyclops' palm completely fell. Immense pressure coursed through Lu Yuanming's entire body. His bones creaked, and blood spurted from his mouth, eyes, ears, and nose. But at the same time, he also plunged his hand straight into the giant eye, his palm, arm, and half his body...

Everyone around stared blankly at this scene. They saw the Cyclops cover its face with one palm, and Lu Yuanming's body was no longer visible. Then the Cyclops swung the utility pole with its other hand. Despair filled everyone's hearts. But the swinging utility pole slowed down more and more, and finally, with a bang, it smashed onto the ground. The Cyclops had completely lost its life.

A moment later, Lu Yuanming trembled as he rolled out from under the Cyclops's palm. He used his last ounce of strength to stand straight. The surrounding monsters all wailed and began to flee, even though hundreds of them remained. At the same time, people on the surrounding buildings began to cheer loudly. Charlie and the others even fired their guns non-stop as they ran down.

Lu Yuanming saw that the Cyclops's corpse erupted with a massive amount of White Light Particles, and a cluster of light emitting Dark Light appeared. Both in quantity and in darkness, it far surpassed Xu's Armor: Steel.

As the White Light Particles poured in, Lu Yuanming once again felt that sensation of his body expanding to the point of bursting. This time, the feeling was incredibly intense, so much so that he didn't even have time to say a word to Tang Zhean and the others before the phenomenon of returning to his Original Body began to appear.

My Original Body can awaken this time...

Lu Yuanming had this realization in his heart. He only had time to show a smile to everyone in the darkness.

Then, he appeared in the darkness of his Original Body's vegetative state.
