Lower Your Head

The Rakshasa God in the Divine Realm was completely baffled. The divine trials weren't even over yet—how had the divine seat already been passed on?

But the Rakshasa God had no intention of looking into it. Now that her divine seat had been passed on, she could leave the Divine Realm. She'd been sick of the place for ages.

In Spirit City, Bibi Dong was now hovering in the air, divine might spreading from her. Every Spirit Master in the city felt the Rakshasa God's divine might and the thick aura of evil.

Qian Daoliu flew into the air, his expression grave as he looked at Bibi Dong.

"Bibi Dong, now that you've attained the divine seat of the Rakshasa God..."

"Shut up!"

Bibi Dong cut Qian Daoliu off sharply, pointing the Rakshasa Demon Scythe in her hand at him.

"The harm your Angel Clan caused me—I'm going to make you pay for it. Not one of you will be spared. You're first, Qian Daoliu!"

"Bibi Dong, have you really gone mad? Do you intend to kill Xue'er, too? She's your own daughter..."

"Shut up! I don't have a daughter like her!"

Bibi Dong swung the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, sending out a slash. Qian Daoliu put everything he had into blocking it. He managed to stop the attack, but blood still seeped from the corner of his mouth.

The gap between a Level 99 Limit Douluo and a god was enormous.

"Not only will I destroy your Angel Clan, I'll eradicate the faith in the Angel God, too. One god is enough for the Douluo Continent! Hahahaha!"

Bibi Dong laughed like a madwoman. After enduring for so many years, she no longer had to hold back. Naturally, she intended to let it all out.

But Bibi Dong hadn't noticed the person watching her from not far behind.

"You're nothing but a slightly larger ant. Not everyone deserves to be called a god."

At the sound of the voice, Bibi Dong turned and saw who had arrived. It was none other than Scaramouche, who had just reached Spirit City.

"Who are you?"

"Me? Just a student from the Akademiya. Go ahead and carry on. When you're done, we'll talk about our business."

Scaramouche's indifferent expression irritated Bibi Dong for no reason. Coupled with what he'd just said, it made her even angrier.

"The Akademiya! Heh, the Akademiya again! I've become a god. Even if there's a god behind the Akademiya, I'll trample them underfoot! Hahahaha!"

At the sound of Bibi Dong's manic laughter, Scaramouche's expression gradually turned cold.

Although he often complained about Nahida, deep down he was grateful to her.

He didn't care if Bibi Dong mocked him a little. But if she was going to trample Nahida underfoot, he'd have to teach this woman who didn't know what was good for her a lesson.

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha!"

If we were talking about madness, Scaramouche wouldn't lose to anyone.

"It's been a long time since I've gone all out. But dealing with you shouldn't make her nag on and on."

"I am a god. How dare you show disrespect to a god..."

"Hahaha! You think you deserve to be called a god? Absurd! Let the wind rise..."

Powerful Anemo energy swirled around Scaramouche, and a ring of wind appeared behind him.

Feeling the immense power radiating from Scaramouche, Bibi Dong's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You're a god, too!"

"I once ascended to godhood. Unfortunately, it was all a dream of yellow millet. Now the dream has ended. I'm no god—I'm just a student from the Akademiya. And now, on behalf of Lesser Lord Kusanali, I'll teach you to watch your mouth. Look down upon the mortal world!"

Scaramouche launched an attack. Bibi Dong quickly countered, but she never expected him to completely overpower her.

And Scaramouche only grew more excited as the fight went on.

"Ahahaha! I won't ferry ants across! You rats and sparrows!"

"Ah! Nether Rakshasa!"

The slash Bibi Dong unleashed with the Rakshasa Demon Scythe was shattered in an instant by Scaramouche's wind blades.

"Louder!"

"Lower your head!"

A Black Hole formed from Anemo energy appeared beneath Scaramouche's foot. He kicked down toward Bibi Dong.

Boom! The force of the blow sent Bibi Dong crashing out of the sky and smashing into Pope's Palace. The palace collapsed on impact.

Bibi Dong crawled out of the ruins of Pope's Palace, looking battered. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and glared at Scaramouche in fury.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Evil energy burst from Bibi Dong, staining the entire area around Pope's Palace black.

Scaramouche merely shook his head.

"Completely lacking in self-awareness!"

Bibi Dong charged at Scaramouche again, her fury at its peak. This was her strongest attack, too.

"Rakshasa Scythe: Nirvana!"

Bibi Dong stared fixedly at Scaramouche, her gaze as if it could tear him limb from limb.

"Hmph! You dare look me in the eye?"

Two Anemo Black Holes appeared in Scaramouche's hands, and he hurled them at Bibi Dong. At the same time, another Anemo Black Hole appeared at his foot, and he kicked it toward her.

Boom! The Rakshasa Demon Scythe flew from Bibi Dong's grasp, and she slammed into the ground again, leaving a huge crater. Scaramouche crossed his arms over his chest and planted one foot on Bibi Dong, looking completely at ease.

Bibi Dong's eyes, meanwhile, had gone unfocused. She'd gone from grief to joy, then from joy back to grief. She could feel fate's deep, vicious malice.

"Why? Why?"

She'd gone from ascending to godhood to falling from the altar. The Sky Screen had rewarded her by making her a god, but before she could even be happy, someone had appeared and kicked her down from the altar.

She didn't understand why fate was treating her this way. What had she done wrong?

Even now, Bibi Dong still didn't reflect on herself. Scaramouche ignored her and looked up at the Sky Screen. It had updated again.

[Second Place: Cyno]

Along with the name came a scene of Cyno wearing a jackal headdress and light clothing, his hands transformed into enormous wolf claws. This was what he looked like when using Hermanubis's power.

"The second place is this General Mahamatra. That's no surprise. But who's first? The Grand Sage? Does he fit the age requirement?"

Cyno had appeared in Alhaitham's ranking, so the people watching the Sky Screen weren't surprised.

"Just as expected, Cyno is second. Tighnari, who do you think is first?"

Tighnari shook his head. He couldn't guess, either. There probably wasn't anyone in the Akademiya who fit the age requirement and was stronger than Cyno.

"Maybe there's some hidden powerhouse on this Douluo Continent."

Nefer, walking along the streets of Heaven Dou City with Asheru, looked at the Sky Screen and said to him, "Hermanubis is much more generous than you, Thoth!"

"Eh? How did you find out? I thought I'd hidden it quite well."

"I hadn't noticed before. I have now."

"Huh? You tricked me!"

"Heh, I only suspected it. There's no way the Sky Screen would really give me just a cat. What's going on with you now?"

Thoth licked his fur and spoke in his usual voice. "Nothing's changed. My real body is still locked up in Aaru. I just wondered what was happening over here, so I came to take a look.

"This really is an incredible new discovery—the worlds beyond Teyvat! No, I can't tell anyone about this. Otherwise, I might bring down terrible misfortune on myself. I can't tell Old Sheep or Old Crocodile, either!"
