No one had ever imagined how much use a tiny piece of construction-site rebar could have.

Yet with a casual throw, that very piece of rebar had just pierced through an airship.

Rebar was too ordinary—so ordinary that it simply did not suit a demigod's status.

By common sense, the javelins in a demigod's hands should at least be forged from alloy, perhaps even inlaid with gemstones. Even if he disliked such ostentation, he could have had someone study aerodynamics and forge several exquisitely designed tungsten rods specifically for him as kinetic weapons.

But Li Shutong had done none of that. He had discarded all the flashy nonsense. With nothing more than a piece of rebar, he had created the impression of the Deity's Scepter's kinetic weapons.

Plain and unadorned, dull and boring.

Yet it was precisely because of this that the demigod was so terrifying.

Because you would suddenly realize that whatever he held in his hand was the greatest threat.

Or rather, as long as he was alive, he was the enemy's greatest threat.

This Knight Demigod's entrance was not as dazzling as a sword immortal's. It was even a little rustic...

But once he appeared, the battle should have ended.

One piece of rebar after another shot straight into the sky, piercing airship after airship. The airships exploded into sparks beneath the morning sunlight, strangely beautiful.

Most importantly, the airships actually had missile interception systems. If surface-to-air missiles approached, they would use heat-source targeting to intercept them with precision.

But... rebar had no heat source.

The Kingdom of Roosevelt actually possessed other interception technologies as well, but no one had expected rebar to become a surface-to-air weapon. At this moment, the only thing that seemed capable of limiting Li Shutong's strength... was the number of rebars available.
