Chapter 2753: Chapter 1865: Sacrifice and Evolution (The Urge to Sleep When Lying in Bed)

"You won’t succeed!"

Faced with Duanmu Huai’s strike, the Spirit Race’s Death God felt fear. However, being the embodiment of countless Spirit Race souls, it naturally wouldn’t yield so easily. In an instant of returning to its senses, the Death God roared and swung the sharp blade in its hand, directly cutting through Duanmu Huai’s heavy shoulder armor and cleaving into his body!

At the same time, Duanmu Huai’s chainsaw sword also pierced into the waist of the Spirit Race’s Death God. The crazily rotating chainsaw was like the claws of a beast, roaring as it tore through flesh and advanced deeper. The Spirit Race’s Death God gripped the sword hilt tightly, gritted its teeth, and slashed down hard. Even in the face of such a sharp sword blade, Duanmu Huai’s body, which could resist bullets, was sliced layer by layer, and even the hard bones shattered like butter, bringing intense pain that drilled into the marrow.

However, this only made Duanmu Huai more frenzied. His eyes filled with blood, he let out a beast-like roar, paying no heed to the sword blade already slicing open his shoulder and moving toward his heart. Instead, he grabbed the chainsaw sword and forcefully pushed forward, carving out a passage of mangled flesh within the Spirit Race’s Death God’s body.

At this moment, both sides had completely lost their rationality due to pain; both were advancing instinctively, until their bodies could sustain no longer.

However, the victor of this battle was certain, for a simple reason — the Spirit Race’s Death God had a major flaw, the same ailment that plagued all Spirit Race members, even the Obsessive Sin sharing its body could not avoid this.

Which is— the fragile build of the Spirit Race, in terms of thickness and width, couldn’t compare to Duanmu Huai’s body, like that of a mighty bear.

Thus, before the Spirit Race’s Death God’s blade could reach Duanmu Huai’s heart, the chainsaw sword in the latter’s hand roared as it penetrated through the Death God and Obsessive Sin’s bodies, stringing them together!

"Die!!"

Accompanied by Duanmu Huai’s shout, his right hand swept across forcefully, directly slicing the two deities connected together in half. At the same time, Obsessive Sin and the Spirit Race’s Death God’s bodies separated. But before they could take further action, the delighted Black Goat’s offspring wielded its tentacles, intertwining them and pulling them into its body.

Duanmu Huai, on the other hand, ignored the sharp blade lodged in his chest, striding boldly forward. Meanwhile, he raised the chainsaw sword once more, piercing through the Death God and Obsessive Sin as if skewering kebabs— then firmly pinning them onto the Black Goat’s offspring.

"Embrace destruction!"

Burning, pitch black, all-consuming flames suddenly erupted at this moment.

Countless Spirit Race souls surged out from the shell of the Death God and Obsessive Sin like a swarm of locusts, desperately trying to escape. Unfortunately, it was too late. Centered around Duanmu Huai, the God of Destruction’s black flames expanded instantaneously, filling the entire theater. Everything was crushed under the unparalleled might of the God of Destruction, without exception.

Emotions, matter, souls, everything in the world transformed into nothingness at this moment.

Obsessive Sin watched the flames devouring its body in a daze; it felt fear, dread, despair, and simultaneously joy, anticipation, excitement— however, these emotions merely flashed in the depths of its heart and gradually vanished in the flames of destruction. Gradually, it could no longer feel any emotion; it simply watched the flames burn, devour its body, while those Spirit Race members who once sang dirges within its body no longer sang. Everything was over, as is the end of everything.

Obsessive Sin couldn’t even feel the singular, pure desire emanating from the tentacles. It felt itself gradually turning into a statue, devoid of emotion, sensation, desire; all feelings brutally devoured, all senses mercilessly obliterated. It could feel its strength dwindling— because it is the God of Desire and Emotions. However, without emotions, without sensations, without desires... it had no strength left.

It no longer thirsted for life nor feared death.

Soon, Obsessive Sin ceased to think.

The flames burst forth, then extinguished.

Duanmu Huai staggered out, and then sat heavily on the ground, gasping for breath. He reached out, grasped the sword blade which had reached his chest’s second rib, pulled it out, and crushed it into fragments.

"Mad, see, didn’t I say so? You Spirit Race’s fragile body can’t even compare to thick meat! Hah! And you claim beauty! A bunch of shoehorn-faced, horse-eye, ox-nose alien rascals!"

Duanmu Huai spat viciously at the charred ground in front of him.

This body of mine is sturdy, thickly fleshed, unafraid of cuts. Can you bunch of fairy waist devils compare? Hmph, Death God or not, wasn’t it wiped out by me cleanly?

But... this isn’t over yet.

Duanmu Huai stood up and looked around. At this moment, this planet was trembling, roaring, as muscles contracted and sped up. Meanwhile, the dense, dark forest in the distance was descending from the mountains— but those are certainly not real trees. After all, this world no longer has humans, nor any normal life forms. Similarly, Duanmu Huai’s Power of Destruction undoubtedly poses a threat to any force focused on reproduction.

Especially since Duanmu Huai just unceremoniously burned the Black Goat’s offspring to ashes.

It seems that the already tenuous cooperation between the two parties has come to an end.

Duanmu Huai let out a cold laugh and stood up. The wounds on his body, once slashed open by the Spirit Race’s Death God, were slowly healing.

"Well, at least this will let you rest in peace."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai picked up the Chainsaw Sword with his left hand.

"Thank you for your sacrifices to the Tribunal. Perhaps you might resent this, but I can only say—there’s no sacrifice too great to bear, nor betrayal too small to endure. At least, your sacrifice wasn’t in vain because you’ve reduced the threats humans face by two... although it seems one more has appeared."

While speaking, Duanmu Huai glanced at the writhing shadows in the distance.

"But I will eliminate all of it."

With that, he forcefully plunged the Chainsaw Sword into the ground.

Only in space could one witness this awe-inspiring scene.

The planet quietly suspended in space suddenly glowed with a flash of black flame from a certain spot on its surface. This power spread across the entire planet in an instant like the claws of a beast. Then, in the quiet, deathly still, and dark depths of the universe, the planet exploded in a flash, shattering into countless fragments that spread in all directions. It was all so cold, silent, and tranquil.

Gradually, those fragments coalesced into bands of asteroids, upon which all forms of life that once dwelled were now entirely dead. Their twisted, desecrated bodies drifted in space, frozen stiff, and then smashed into pieces. No life form could survive in such an environment, not even the progeny of the Black Goat.

"Hoo..."

Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai lay resting with his eyes closed in a blank, empty space.

Fighting the Obsessive Sin was just as simple as he anticipated, much like many people said—you can annihilate the Subspace Evil God entirely by eliminating all intelligent life in the Milky Way. In this game world, although Duanmu Huai couldn’t destroy everything, at least he could wipe out all sources in the game world that provided power to the Obsessive Sin—after all, humans aren’t the only ones left.

Next up is the final enemy.

Duanmu Huai stared at the door in front of him, this too being his most troublesome foe. In fact, Duanmu Huai was already contemplating whether to mimic this world and, after stepping out, immediately exterminate all life in that world, humans included—a futile gesture, as much as Duanmu Huai didn’t just blow up the planet earlier. He must first find and then kill the Evil God before tidying up the mess.

If he overturned the table without locating the Evil God, the consequence could be that the Evil God might escape beyond the "game map," making it even harder to find then.

Oddly enough, the wretched bastard up next is the hardest among the four Evil Gods to handle.

And stomping it out, Duanmu Huai couldn’t seek aid from the summons of The Ancient Dominator or Outer Gods; those with simple minds would fall prey to it, potentially being played to death. Meanwhile, those with complex intellects might ally with it to conspire against him—imagine if the Cunning Deception teamed up with Haska, Yog Sothoth, or Nyarlathotep against him, it would indeed be a headache for Duanmu Huai.

Combatting the Cunning Deception using the Power of Violent Wrath or Corrupted Foil wouldn’t work, and brute Destruction wouldn’t affect it. Strength from the Ancient Dominator was hard to harness, leaving the rest as...

Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers, and shadows behind him started to wriggle, transforming into a series of tentacles. However, these tentacles now showed significant changes from before. Previously, Duanmu Huai’s tentacles were typical, octopus-like, with suckers, narrow and slender in form.

But now, having absorbed the strength of the Obsessive Sin, Duanmu Huai’s tentacles had undergone an enormous transformation. For instance, the front of this tentacle was no longer the slender, pointed tip of an octopus’s but a rolling-pin-like cylindrical shape with veins bulging out from beneath the skin, the mouth at the front constantly opening and closing—even its sharp, jagged teeth were visible, with a snake-like tongue flicking out between them repeatedly. It seemed like a self-aware eel, albeit larger, thicker, and... well, Duanmu Huai found this new form strangely familiar.

Although there certainly shouldn’t be any teeth or tongue.

"........."

To be frank, Duanmu Huai never expected this thing to turn out like this.

But if all else fails... it seems he might have to use it.
