"Roar!!!!"
The laser beam from Norton's mouth, which was flying high in the sky, suddenly contracted, and the beam of destruction finally stopped.
The Pale God seemed to have regained his composure, his pale, slender body floating silently in the sky.
However, the next moment, a terrifying laugh escaped his lips.
Hahahahaha...
Accompanied by maniacal laughter, the Pale God suddenly opened his mouth.
Countless rays of light seemed to be drawn into his mouth, or perhaps released from it, but the bright orb of light within his mouth grew ever larger.
"Roar!"
With a roar, a ball of light shot out from the Pale God's mouth like lightning, instantly traversing more than two thousand kilometers and striking the city occupied by the East Continent Allied Forces, who were still unaware of what had happened and were resting.
"Boom!!!"
Almost simultaneously with the fall of the ball of light, a deafening explosion erupted.
An intense burst of light instantly enveloped the entire city, like a sun that had fallen to earth, radiating endless light.
However, everything illuminated by the light, whether soldiers of the East Continent or steel tanks, whether buildings or mountains and lakes, began to turn into fine powder visibly, withering away rapidly, like weathered rocks.
Even the water turned into powder and dissipated into the air with the wind.
A single sphere of light, covering more than 8,000 square kilometers, and housing a massive city of nearly ten million people, was utterly reduced to a desert of dust, devoid of any human traces, and even transformed into a pure white landscape resembling the surface of the moon.
The entire city, including its buildings, tens of millions of civilians, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, was reduced to dust, leaving no trace of life.
The Pale God is holy, majestic and boundless!
Fortunately, technology was not advanced in that era, and apart from Abraham, no one else could witness this despairing scene. If it were a modern live broadcast, the people of the Southern Continent would probably be begging on the ground and becoming obedient dogs again by now.
"Hahahaha..."
Hovering high in the sky, Norton looked at the massive city he had destroyed with a single blow, and at the surrounding skyscrapers reduced to ruins by his laser barrage, and couldn't help but let out an excited and maniacal laugh.
Its pale, holy body hangs high in the sky, its arms outstretched to the sides, like a pale cross, or even like the true God descending.
"Humanity in Garden of Eden has betrayed me many times; their complete annihilation is the punishment I, the Pale God, must give them!"
Those who attempt to kill gods will ultimately perish!
"I give you peace and wealth, I give you stability and happiness, I allow countless families who should have starved to death in the cold winter to continue, I set countless slaves who should have died of exhaustion in the fields free, I give everyone in the Southern Continent extraordinary power, in order to improve your pitiful and short lives. I thought my holiness had already illuminated the entire Garden of Eden, I thought my mercy was enough to move you all."
Yet my holy radiance and merciful deeds have been met with betrayal and humiliation after betrayal! You even dare to dream of awakening Jonah in the sun to restrain me, Norton!
How laughable, how pathetic!
You are short-sighted and utterly ridiculous. You attempted to kill a god, yet you unleashed a new one. Have I, Norton, wronged you? Do you really think I, Norton, am afraid?
Hahahaha!
"My dignity is that of Pale God! My soul is infinitely wondrous!"
My flesh and blood are immortal, my soul is eternal! The Primordial God of Death within the sun can only become nourishment for my Norton soul, to be completely absorbed by me, and to evolve once more!
As for you, your current glory all originates from me, and you too shall be destroyed by the hand of my Pale God!
Norton's furious and outrageous words echoed throughout the Southern Continent, terrifying those who were still alive to the point that they could hardly imagine how they would survive.
As he spoke, Norton's mouth lit up again, and one after another, orbs of light shot out from his mouth at an absurdly fast speed, instantly reaching a massive city thousands of kilometers away.
In a short time, more than a dozen massive cities, some of the largest in the entire Southern Continent, were destroyed by the purification of the endless holy light.
The Northern Continent and the Eternal Life Society plotted and prepared for over seventy years, committing countless massacres, yet they were defeated in a mere moment by the casual action of the Pale God Norton.
And this ultimately became the last straw that broke the camel's back!
Suddenly, it got dark.
From a cosmic perspective, at this very moment, the blazing star that had always revolved around Garden of Eden has completely extinguished.
Endless darkness completely enveloped the entire vast Garden of Eden.
At this moment, there was no longer any distinction between morning in the Northern Continent and night in the Southern Continent. The entire Garden of Eden, whether it was a discovered continent or an undiscovered one, was plunged into utter darkness.
As darkness descended, the entire Garden of Eden seemed to begin to change.
In the darkness of the city ruins, dark figures seemed to reappear. On the roads that had been ravaged and completely broken, the shadows of pedestrians reappeared.
The hunting beasts abruptly stopped, each one cautiously lying down on the ground, not daring to make the slightest further movement.
The insects that had been chirping and flying all lay motionless on the grass or the ground, as if they were dead.
Even the leaves and flowers that were swaying in the wind seemed to freeze in an instant, as if even the wind itself had died.
The entire world seemed to fall into a deathly silence.
