The Power of Time and Space

Chrysanthemum Douluo: Who wouldn't want to? This was the Divine Realm, a place everyone dreamed of going. But in any given era, who knew how many people could become gods?

Ghost Douluo: Exactly. But more people from Spirit Hall were bound to become gods.

Golden Crocodile Douluo: It was just a shame that, after becoming gods, we couldn't involve ourselves too much in the continent's affairs.

Yu Yuanzhen: Actually, if you latched onto Qin Feng, you might get the chance to ascend to the Divine Realm.

Zhao Wuji: Anyone could see that. But were you sure Qin Feng was that easy to latch onto? And did Qin Feng even exist in our world? If he did, why hadn't he said anything in our chatroom?

Flender: Damn, Old Zhao, you actually grew a brain! Incredible. This was the first time I'd ever seen it.

Oscar: Dean, Teacher Zhao said he wanted to challenge you to a duel.

"Ha. What a loathsome bunch of deities. I'll send you to meet the Five Defeats God right now."

Qin Li answered without a flicker of expression.

Her hands, however, moved with startling speed. The Space Shears shot out, passing straight beneath the Lust God.

"Aah!!"

The Lust God clutched himself below and screamed in agony. Sweat poured down his forehead like rain, and his lips trembled in a deathly pale face.

The Pride God and the others were caught off guard. They hadn't expected her to dare launch a sneak attack when she was facing so many of them.

She certainly had nerve.

"Lust, are you all right?" The Envy God glanced at the Lust God, and his eyelids began to twitch.

For some reason, seeing the Lust God like that made him feel a phantom ache.

As though the pain were contagious.

"Do I look all right to you? There's something strange about her attack. I can't heal the wound with divine power."

The Lust God's hatred for Qin Li surged as he spoke.

He depended on that thing! She had taken away his source of pleasure in a single strike. If he didn't avenge this, he swore he wasn't a man.

"Hiss—"

The Pride God and the others instantly clamped their legs together and regarded Qin Li with grave eyes.

Even if they had to die, they wanted to die with some dignity, not lose a part of themselves like the Lust God.

"Watch out! That strange pair of shears is back!" the Envy God warned.

A streak of golden light came at them from behind.

"Leave it to me! Watch me swallow it."

The Gluttony God stepped forward. As the Gluttony God, he could eat anything, and he had his eye on this strange weapon.

He refused to believe that, with his powers, he couldn't swallow it.

Otherwise, what was the point of being the Gluttony God?

With that, the Gluttony God opened his mouth. A powerful suction burst from it, drawing the Space Shears toward his jaws.

Just as he expected, the Space Shears flew straight into his mouth, along with a few buildings from the Divine Realm.

"Burp."

"Now that hit the spot!"

The Gluttony God rubbed his swollen belly in satisfaction. He had wanted to taste the buildings of the Divine Realm for a long time.

Now he finally knew what they tasted like. Not bad at all. If only he could devour a god, too.

"Now that the Gluttony God has swallowed your weapon, prepare to die."

The Pride God and the others surrounded Qin Li in an instant, intent on killing her there.

But in the next moment, the smile on the Gluttony God's face twisted into agony.

"Aah!! That weapon is tearing around inside my stomach! It feels like it's going to cut me to pieces!"

"Quick! Spit it out!" the Wrath God shouted.

But it was too late. Qin Li gave a cold smile and flicked a finger. A streak of golden light burst from the Gluttony God's chest and flew back to her side.

"I didn't think you'd be stupid enough to let the Gluttony God swallow my Space Shears. I thought killing a god would take some effort. Who knew it would be this easy?"

As Qin Li's mocking words fell, the divine power within the Gluttony God vanished, and his transformed body exploded with a thunderous crash.

In the blink of an eye, the seven gods of the Seven Deadly Sins were down to six.

"Gluttony!"

The six who remained cried out. They had lost a brother so quickly that they hadn't even had time to react.

"I'll kill you!"

The Lust God charged at Qin Li in a fury. He and the Gluttony God had been the closest. In mere moments, he had lost what mattered most to him, and the Gluttony God had died. He couldn't accept it.

"Careful, Lust! She's not that simple—"

The Pride God had barely raised a hand in warning when he saw the uncanny smile on Qin Li's face.

Then he saw the Lust God slow to a crawl as he charged toward Qin Li.

"Spatial Annihilation!"

At Qin Li's cold shout, a twisted spatial passage opened before the Lust God and swallowed him whole.

The Pride God received the same treatment.

"Careful! Don't let it swallow you!" the Pride God warned. The Sloth God immediately snapped to attention, joining the others against the Spatial Annihilation that swept over them from every direction.

Swish!

Invisible spatial blades sliced through the Pride God and the others.

They had no way to resist. The unseen blades seemed capable of cutting through anything; no defense could stop them.

In the blink of an eye, their divine armor was shredded. Divine blood fell to the ground, and life sprang up wherever it landed.

Suddenly, the Pride God saw the sky above the Divine Realm darken. Then a terrifying maw of energy appeared overhead, as though it meant to swallow the entire realm.

Blue-violet spatial energy churned within it. Anyone swallowed by that maw would surely die.

"Quick! Burn your divine blood! We have to get out of here. If that thing swallows us, we're dead!" the Pride God shouted desperately.

He truly regretted sending people to provoke Qin Li. Now they had drawn the wrath of a powerful deity.

A deity who could brush aside veteran First-Level Gods like them as easily as roadside strays.

How was that fair? If he had known she was this powerful, he would have tried to get on her good side.

But it was too late. Every divine attendant on their side was dead. The Second-Level Gods had died beneath the Spatial Annihilation. They were next.

"Right!"

The others burned their divine blood, fighting off the attack as they tried to escape.

The five God Kings of the Divine Realm still hadn't acted. Clearly, they were happy to watch this unfold.

They might even have helped things along.

After all, the buildings below them were protected by an invisible force. The only ones taking damage were the gods themselves.

Boom!

With the explosive power of their burning divine blood, the Pride God and the others broke free. Each fled in a different direction.

"Trying to leave? Hmph. Time Reversal!"

Qin Li had laid the power of time over the surrounding area the moment she arrived.

She had done it to keep them from suddenly escaping.
