Death God's Eternal Life!

The threads danced, and countless puppets attacked, engaging Chu Yang in battle the moment they moved!

Chu Yang suddenly bent down, sweeping his leg to trip all the puppets. Chen Ye pulled the threads, making the puppets stand up, but Chu Yang tripped them all again with a single strike!

Huh?

Strange.

Chen Ye would pull them up, and Chu Yang would trip them down.

What the...?

This display left Chen Ye completely stunned.

"This kid, could it be that he can trip anyone with 100% certainty?"

Chen Ye wondered. Just as he was about to create some distance, a voice came through Chu Yang's earpiece.

"30 seconds left, get out of there immediately!"

Chu Yang didn't comply; instead, he continued to charge at Chen Ye!

"Hey, Chu Yang, what are you doing!"

Seeing this, Chen Ye curled his fingers. Invisible puppets were deployed, forming a deadly array.

Swish, swish, swish!

Countless threads shot out from all directions, horizontally and vertically, instantly piercing Chu Yang's body!

Chen Ye pulled the threads, and Chu Yang immediately knelt before him.

"Your ability is quite interesting. Tell me, how did you trip my puppets?"

Chu Yang remained silent.

Chen Ye pulled the threads, and Chu Yang's body moved on its own. "It's fine if you don't want to talk; we have plenty of time to study this slowly."

No, there was no more time.

Chu Yang closed his eyes. Chen Ye's brow suddenly furrowed.

Huh?

Boom!!

An explosion erupted beneath his feet. Chen Ye frantically looked down!

The building began to detonate from the bottom up. The violent explosions turned into flames, engulfing everything. Chen Ye reacted quickly, using his threads to pull his puppets and leap into the air!

But at that moment, Chu Yang suddenly opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of cold air!

Whoosh!

The chilling air pierced Chen Ye's bones, instantly freezing his limbs and causing him to fall from the sky!

He was waiting for this exact moment!

After accomplishing all this, Chu Yang directly gave up resisting and fell towards the sea of flames before him.

"So that's how it is. Because he saw the future and knew my location, he planted bombs in the building beforehand."

"A good plan."

Chen Ye watched as the explosion bore down on him, his body instantly plunging into the sea of flames and explosions.

But at that moment, Chen Ye suddenly bit down on the capsule in his mouth.

"I didn't intend to use this so soon. After all, it's still only a semi-finished product."

As he spoke, the explosion and flames instantly consumed their bodies!

Boom!

The entire building collapsed, and scattered debris flew in all directions, causing other buildings to collapse as well!

In a sea of flames, black mist began to surge wildly from Chen Ye's body!

His body dissipated in the flames, turning into an invisible mist, while his arms and head transformed into white bones wreathed in black flames!

Chen Ye reached out with his bone hand, grabbed Chu Yang's mangled body, and then thrust his other hand into the void, tearing open a rift!

Crack!

Space shattered, and Chen Ye directly pulled Chu Yang's body into the rift!

Semi-finished Potion: Death God.

A drug with immortality properties, composed of a fusion of nine potions, Sequence 001 to 009, supplemented with other conceptual materials.

The reason it's called a semi-finished product is mainly because it's not yet sufficient to reach the level of a God; it still lacks some crucial characteristics.

Chen Ye still hasn't discovered how to obtain those characteristics.

However, it's certain that after the Death God potion was used on Chen Ye, it created a chain reaction with the Puppet Master.

Chen Ye's Puppet Master concept was identified as the manipulation of fate.

But that was just what people thought. The moment Death God and Puppet Master merged, he truly gained the ability to manipulate fate.

It's not quite accurate to say it controls fate.

This ability is more like a Death Note, only able to orchestrate the fate of death.

Chen Ye initially designed the concept of this Death God based on the Grim Reaper from a movie.

That is, Final Destination.

This Death God is formless and intangible, existing and not existing simultaneously, possessing an even higher level of immortality than the 009 Splitter.

These were all within Chen Ye's original design, but unexpectedly, the Death God's abilities developed a new branch.

Chen Ye could break the boundaries between the material and spiritual, bringing objects from reality into a non-existent spiritual world.

He himself could also freely traverse between the spiritual and material.

Perhaps this is what people call the Underworld?

Outside, watching the pulverized building, everyone clenched their fists.

Hiss...

"Confirmed no signs of life within the building!"

"Meaning, we succeeded?"

"The Weaver of Fate is dead!"

"Based on current intel, 006 doesn't possess immortality or regeneration. An explosion of this magnitude killing him isn't surprising, but we can't rule out the possibility that the target survived."

"But there are no life fluctuations in the vicinity anymore."

"Then... what about Chu Yang?"

"Chu Yang... if he couldn't evacuate in time, he's probably been blown to smithereens just like 006."

Zhang Jinsong took a step back, gazing at the pulverized building before him, then quietly turned around.

"...He never intended to leave."

"Contact Chu Yang's family later. Secure as much compensation as possible, at least enough to ensure his family's financial security for the future."

As he spoke, Zhang Jinsong looked at a man named Tang Yan, the owner of the Future Diary.

"You wanted to join us, didn't you?"

Tang Yan looked up. "Of course. I believe your plan's success is entirely due to me."

"Mm, though I hate to admit it, your Future Diary played a crucial role. Mm, coincidentally, headquarters has an experiment that requires your assistance."

With that, Zhang Jinsong directly pulled Tang Yan into the car, then floored the accelerator and fled the scene.

He didn't need to handle the follow-up cleanup. He had to report thoroughly to the organization about the Future Diary.

Of course, Zhang Jinsong had promised Tang Yan to keep the diary in his possession to the greatest extent possible.

However, if the organization required it, he had to cooperate unconditionally with their use of the diary.

Shortly after, the cleanup crew began extinguishing fires and searching the perimeter. One man found a fragment of a mask near a corner of the building.

"Is this 006's mask? Let's take it back for analysis."

The man put away the fragment, but suddenly, a rift tore open in the space before him!

Crack!

A figure clad in black emerged from the rift.

He wore a black robe, his hands and face were bone-white, and black flames and mist billowed around him.

"Fire cannot burn, water cannot wet, and naturally, Death itself does not die."

"But I must commend your efforts."

006 the Puppet Master is dead.

The new creation is the Death God.

Life will wither, petals will fall, all will pass, but Death is eternal.

Chen Ye raised his hand, and countless threads of fate appeared in his palm.

"I haven't sought you out yet, but you're rushing to see me."

"This is a grave taboo in life."

"Come, choose your death."

Chen Ye tore apart these threads, the threads of people's lives. Once broken, it signifies the end of their existence.

Just then, twelve dark figures appeared on top of a building.

"That legendary existence is dead?"

"Unbelievable."

"What should we do then?"

"We can't just come here for nothing, right? Let's just kill everyone here?"

"Agreed!"

As the words fell, a figure descended from the sky, appearing before the Nine-Tailed Fox soldiers!

Before they could react, the person pierced through a soldier's chest and, with a backhand swing, pulled out the soldier's spine!

The soldier was strangely enough, his body shrunk and condensed in an instant, transforming into a greatsword made of flesh and bone!

The Nine-Tailed Foxes abruptly turned their guns, seeing that the swordsman was an old man nearing sixty.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm just a blacksmith."

"Of course, if you must know, you can also call me Chaos Splitter Seat Twelve, the Sword Forger."

"Open fire!"

Countless bullets were fired at the Sword Forger, but all of them froze in mid-air the moment they left the barrel!

A figure descended from the sky, his entire body shimmering with purple light.

He raised a finger, and all the bullets changed direction.

He waved his hand, and the bullets shot directly at the Nine-Tailed Foxes themselves!

"Chaos Splitter Seat Six, The Greedy, Narazokin."

Upon hearing this, the Sword Forger swung the flesh greatsword. The bones on the greatsword cracked, sweeping out like a whip and shredding bodies!

In an instant, these bodies condensed onto the greatsword.

The flesh greatsword grew pairs of eyes. The Sword Forger swung the greatsword, cleaving the ground and creating a fissure!

The earth cracked open, and countless Nine-Tailed Foxes fell into the rift!

The Sword Forger ran at extreme speed, then grabbed a soldier's face!

The soldier's body instantly shrunk, turning into a dagger!

"Oh, it seems you are quite narrow-minded."

With that, the Sword Forger threw the dagger. The dagger, as if possessing sentience, twisted and turned in the air, instantly killing countless Nine-Tailed Fox soldiers.

Another figure descended from the sky. He covered his face with both hands, and then his body began to convulse violently!

"Ugh!"

Plop plop plop!

Streams of blood and figures continuously split from his body.

In just a blink of an eye, dozens of naked people emerged from his body and picked up firearms from the ground!

"Chaos Splitter Seat Three, Lord of Flesh and Blood."

Narazokin floated in the sky with his hands behind his back. "The 'White-Giving Foxes' truly live up to their name. I thought they would have at least a little resistance."

"In fact, it has proven that we overestimated them."

After that, Zhang Jinsong and his team received news that all thirty thousand frontline soldiers had been wiped out.

"Chaos Splitter."

"A new monster faction?"

"They just casually killed thirty thousand of our people?!"

"Damn it!"

"Calm down, at least 006 is dead."

"And then what? What did we gain? I gained nothing!"

"Killing one monster won't solve anything!"

Zhang Jinsong gritted his teeth. "As long as 006 is dealt with, no new monsters will appear. This is a victory in the fundamental sense!"

"Heh, how can you be so sure?"

"As expected, having you in command was a wrong decision."

"I'm reporting to my superiors right now to take over as commander!"

"Initiate the Candy Box Experiment immediately!"

Tang Yan watched the arguing crowd without speaking. He was led to a room.

There was a candy box in the room.

There were four candies in the box.

"The candies in the box can grant people a superpower, but be warned, each of you can only eat one."

"In our previous experiment, a D-class personnel ate two candies consecutively, and then his body suddenly began to rot and collapse, until he turned into a pool of pus and blood."

"From this, we've concluded that the human body can at most withstand one candy, and taking a second candy is strictly forbidden."

"Furthermore, the abilities the candies can grant you are limited, not exceeding one magnitude at most. However, whether you can reach the limit of that magnitude is determined by each of your wills. You can first imagine an imaginary enemy."

"An imaginary enemy?"

Someone raised their hand and asked.

"An imaginary enemy, meaning those monsters. Here, we have the data for each monster. Memorize this data, then select one monster as your enemy."

"The candy will grant you a superpower that will, to some extent, counterbalance the monster's abilities. If the monster's abilities far exceed the candy's limit, the candy will grant you abilities of an extreme magnitude. This is why we need you to set an imaginary enemy."

"Currently, the candy limit we've tested is granting someone a secondary characteristic or an unnatural ability. You will understand this later."

"Also, remember not to ask about the candy's origin."

An experimenter brought them detailed investigation materials.

Tang Yan took the materials.

SRW Number 001: Mimic. It is said to be able to imitate the form and abilities of any life form, even monsters. Its true form is uncertain.

SRW Number 002: Weeping Fishman. Possesses physical qualities surpassing humans, with numerous infected individuals. The target has a pollution meme. Its claws can cut through metal and stone, and it is extremely sensitive to sound. Its head is its weak point.

SRW Number 003: Invisible Man. The target possesses invisibility, but it's not incorporeality; it's simply an invisible, transparent state. It can be detected by thermal imaging.

SRW Number 004: Queen Bee. The target possesses extremely strong mental control abilities, capable of controlling large numbers of people. It is currently suspected of being able to create monsters that are impervious to blades and bullets.

SRW Number 005: Rat in the Wall. The target can petrify its entire body with metal or rock, and can even travel through rock and metal. It can also manipulate rock and metal.

SRW Number 006: Weaver of Fate. The target claims to be fate and is suspected of possessing some form of causal ability, though it has not manifested. Its primary attack method involves using threads or puppets for large-scale attacks. It has now been confirmed dead.

SRW Number 007: Siren. The target's singing possesses a powerful mental pollution meme. Upon hearing her song, one will be subjected to seventy hours of mental control, from which there is no escape. The target was successfully contained once, but containment later failed, and its whereabouts are unknown.

"Have you chosen?"

A man wearing a white Zhongshan suit thought for a moment. "Then I'll take care of 004, the Queen Bee, right?"

As he spoke, the man picked up a candy and put it in his mouth.

The next second, countless white threads suddenly emerged from his body. He tried waving his hand, and the threads shot out, sticking to the wall. With a slight pull, he tore the wall down!

Seeing this, the experimenters began to record.

"Thread abilities, as a means of control, can indeed counterbalance the Queen Bee."

The man in the Zhongshan suit was puzzled. "But I only have this one ability..."

The experimenter looked up. "The candy will only grant you one ability."

"Although your ability seems ordinary, if applied properly, it should be enough to at least restrain and contain the opponent, if not kill them."

"Additionally, after this experiment, you will be injected with our latest Reinforcement Agent 01. This agent is extracted and refined from Fishman cells. After multiple adjustments, it has achieved stability."

"Combined with the reinforcement agent, each of you will gain physical abilities twice that of an ordinary person, so there's no need to worry."

The man in the Zhongshan suit pondered for a moment. "Is that so..."

The remaining few exchanged glances.

"Then I'll be the second. I'll deal with 002."

A muscular man picked up a candy and put it directly into his mouth.

"Huh?"

"It seems... there's nothing special?"

As he spoke, the muscular man's shadow suddenly separated from his body.

"Oh, there it is!"

"Your ability is shadow manipulation?"

The muscular man tried waving his hand, and his shadow followed suit, then punched the ground, leaving a large pit.

"I see, I understand now."

"My shadow can attack the shadow of anything, and."

"Because shadows lack fixed form, theoretically, shadows can destroy all shadows."

"And this destruction will be reflected in the physical world."

"Hmm, an excellent ability. What's next?"

There were two candies left inside. Tang Yan reached out and took one of them.

"Then I'll deal with 001."

Not only do I have to deal with 001, but I also want the Future Diary to be permanently bound to me!

Tang Yan thought to himself.
