Chapter 835: Russell's Unknowing Second Plan

Russell clutched his head desperately.

His entire body convulsed violently.

The [Seed of Divinity] that Ye Qiyan had seen not long ago pulsed continuously from within his chest.

Whether they were dead or still alive, all of the [Native] demigod apostles were doing the exact same thing at this moment.

Praying.

Faith surged into Russell's soul.

His spirit began to grow at a frenzied pace.

A narrow path appeared beneath his feet.

Russell was becoming... a monster with divinity.

"Give her to me!"

The once youthful and handsome face was now covered in bulging veins.

The concept of [Native] allowed him to draw endless power from the native humans' station worlds.

At this very moment, even without completing his livestream execution plan, he could still rely on this Seed of Divinity and the beliefs of those native humans throughout RUN Company to step onto that crowded, narrow [Divine Sequence Path].

[C-81] [C-75]....

His Divine Sequence ranking surged upward, finally stopping at [C-56].

He pushed through the crowded monsters on the Divine Sequence Path, using the concept of [Native].

Proclaiming himself a god.

"It's not enough! Now, Bro, give her to me! I want to cut off this woman's head in front of everyone! You said my power wasn't enough! Well, as long as I kill her, I'll have enough power!!!"

The stage spotlight shone down on Ye Qiyan.

The Crown of Corruption, cracked and gradually shattering, was casually toyed with in his hand.

His gaze was so calm, and the way he looked at Russell contained not a trace of emotion.

No mockery from the Bewitchment, no derision for his limited vision.

Ye Qiyan simply crushed the crown.

All of the demons were empowered.

The Decisive Demon behind him was bathed in demonic flames.

Several gears of different colors flew out from Ye Qiyan's shoulder.

They were auxiliary machines divided from the Hunt's [Gear Damage Control Squad], specifically designed to provide assistance to his mechanical units.

They moved out together with the Raven Demon.

Leaping to Russell's side, they launched attacks without hesitation.

"Get lost!!"

Russell let out a furious roar.

But a C-grade God's divine body was utterly no match for the Raven and the Decisive.

Just a few strikes sent Russell's body flying backward, crashing onto the ground outside the stage.

"Cough... cough..."

Russell spat out blood, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Why?! I'm already a god!"

Ye Qiyan chewed on a White Forest Fruit as the Armament Hangar directly unfolded in Void-form.

More mech-soldiers launched out.

Together with the demons, they systematically killed the trolls in the venue and Russell's apostles one by one.

"I told you, you're not strong enough."

With the Mechanical Army joining in,

the enemies in this venue were quickly cleaned up.

Gluttony devoured the corpses of trolls.

The mech-soldiers crushed every enemy that still had a breath left.

From the moment Ye Qiyan appeared on the stage, only a few minutes had passed.

And yet the entire situation within the venue had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Corpses, everywhere.

Russell fell into despair.

This wasn't what that being had told him!

Shouldn't a god be invincible?! Shouldn't a god be an existence that mere mortals could absolutely never defeat?

Why? Why couldn't he even defeat two of Altos' demons?!

He was unwilling to accept this.

Months of preparation had been declared over by a single person before it had even truly begun.

And the one who did this to him was someone he had once trusted and revered more than anyone.

Even now, Russell couldn't understand why the other party would treat him this way.

"No, I don't accept this! I am a god! I am the god who saves all natives! I... I...!"

He remembered the words spoken by the being who had given him the Seed of Divinity.

["If your plan fails, you can call my name in your heart. I... will help~"]

A name surged into Russell's mind. A name that, clearly, he shouldn't have known at all.

[The Void]

An eyeball opened in the sky.

A mocking laugh echoed softly from beyond this world.

"Interesting human. Since you've run into the master of demons and blasphemy, failure is only natural, hehe~ Then let me see, just how far can you go?"

Russell's Seed of Divinity lit up again.

The Decisive and the Death Omen attacked simultaneously, but a blood barrier intercepted their strikes.

"Ah!!"

A painful wail rang out as Russell's spirit was instantly corrupted by the Seed of Divinity.

His body began to continuously transform.

Strange mouths appeared all over him.

The ordinary RUN Company employees, already losing their sense of self under the influence of the divinity, stared blankly at their surroundings.

Those mouths bit into their bodies, their arms, their necks....

They tried to struggle, but couldn't move at all.

And at this very moment,

in the villages beneath RUN Company headquarters, settlements that had migrated from different worlds,

the trolls who had been waiting for a long time received an order. They boarded ragged, bizarre vehicles of all shapes and burst into these villages, beginning a massacre.

These ordinary people had absolutely no chance to resist.

Facing the Troll God's army, they didn't even have a chance to flee.

And this was the second plan that Russell himself knew nothing about.

Using the blood, lives, souls, and despair of the [Natives], along with the hatred forcibly infused through Russell's own divinity at the moment of their deaths,

all of this was absorbed by Russell.

The strange, massive mechanical bodies located outside RUN Company, beneath the troll tribes, also awakened one by one, slaughtering the RUN Company employees around them.

Blood stained the earth red.

Despair became the main theme of this world.

More trolls stormed into RUN Company headquarters.

The couriers who still believed the trolls were their allies had their heads smashed in.

Only then did the alarms inside the company begin to blare wildly.

Blood became a curtain.

Despair forged godhood.

Hatred nourished the Divine Sequence.

Russell's Divine Sequence ranking was rapidly climbing higher and higher.

The Raven Demon and the Decisive Demon did not continue their attacks.

That curtain of blood was protecting Russell from harm as he grew.

Alice, who had been staying by Ye Qiyan's side all along, asked:

"Aren't you going to stop him? I know you have the ability to do so..."

"Why would I stop him?"

"Perhaps he might become very strong?"

"Oh, I thought you were going to say that stopping him could save a lot of lives."

Alice shook her head.

"They are enemies. Enemies shouldn't be saved."

"You're right. As for your question, Miss Alice, a B-grade God's Divine Core is worth quite a lot."

"...."

Alice said nothing more.

She was also a Train Conductor who had survived the cruel station worlds.

So...

A B-grade God's Divine Core was indeed very valuable...

She silently picked up the microphone whose sound had long been cut off from the ground, and using her ability, in this world filled with slaughter and despair, she hummed a soothing hymn for all the dead.

The gentle melody that appeared on the battlefield of carnage only made everything in this world seem even more bizarre.

[Beep beep——]

Just as Ye Qiyan was waiting for Russell to complete his ascension to godhood,

a special notification sound suddenly rang by his ear.

It was a sound unique to WALL-E.

At this particular moment,

WALL-E had found a treasure.
