Chapter 356 [Eternal Critical Strike] The Battle for Supremacy: Becoming the Fastest Legend in God

Chapter 356 [Eternal Critical Strike] The Battle for Supremacy: Becoming the Fastest Legend in God's History in One Month?

boom! ! !

The School of All Machines, within the House of Omniscience.

The "Desolate Eye Humanoid Machine," which had just been carried over and powered by a piece of the leg of an Extreme Cold Starry Sky Dragon, exploded on the spot.

I only glanced at it through the giant, super-mechanical telescope, just one glance.

Speaker Arthur and Director Ideo swallowed in unison, their faces filled with disbelief, and looked at each other.

These two veteran transcendental monarchs, renowned throughout Caligia, simultaneously realized the gravity of the situation.

"Could it be that—that silver-armored heavy cavalryman—is an unknown being of Outer God rank?"

Speaker Arthur spoke cautiously, his voice unconsciously lowering even though there were no outsiders present, as if afraid of offending or overstepping his bounds with the silver-armored cavalryman.

Director Edio sighed softly: "This is the only possibility. Even your strongest humanoid machine from the Myriad Machines School, the Desolate Eye, exploded. It's a good thing we didn't go to the City of Myriad Stars to witness it firsthand."

At this moment, everyone admired the wisdom of Director Edison, because the method of having mechanical creations observe the scene through a telescope and then relay it in writing was conceived by Director Edison.

If he hadn't come up with this idea, some of the more curious people present might have already lost control near the City of Ten Thousand Stars.

"If all else fails, we can teleport to the lawless lands and find the Philosophical Idealists." We've heard they worship an Outer God in the Protoss realm who calls himself the "Philosophical Servant," so we should be able to see them.

Speaker Arthur gritted his teeth, unwilling to miss this once-in-a-century event. His main concern was finding out who would win the "Eternal Critical Strike," as this would determine whose favor the Myriad Machines School should seek and whose protection they should pursue in the future. This was of utmost importance.

Director Edio had similar thoughts, and immediately stood up from his seat, his face serious: "Alright, let's go!"

At this very moment, not only the people of the Myriad Machines School and the Cataclysmic Research Institute, but also countless extraordinary forces and organizations of all sizes on Planet Caligia are closely watching the birth of [Eternal Strike] in the City of Myriad Stars through their own means.

Even beyond Caligia, on some inhabited planets, powerful superhumans are silently watching.

As for the Celestial Spirit Realm, it goes without saying that all the gods beyond gods and unknown beings of equal rank are using their own methods to closely monitor everything happening in the City of Ten Thousand Stars.

At the same time.

-

It's about one kilometer outside the City of Ten Thousand Stars.

Having completely transformed its appearance, Xia Fa is now concealed in the highest reaches of the sky by virtue of the authority of [Eternal Secrecy].

He was no longer the agile, leopard-like figure of about 1.9 meters tall, but had become extremely strong and burly, like a wall, with his skin turning bronze. As for his appearance, he looked exactly like a fighter.

This was a change in appearance he made using the Prometheus family's heirloom, the "Haircutted Face," combined with the "Disguise" authority of "Eternal Secret."

In this situation, to exaggerate a bit, even the Outer God wouldn't recognize it if he wasn't paying close attention.

Yes, the "secret" in "Eternal Secret" is actually a very high-level authority, thus including lower-level authorities such as "stealth," "invisibility," and "disguise."

In other words, even if someone possesses eternal credentials such as "Eternal Disguise" or "Eternal Stealth," they might not be able to use them in front of Xia Fa.

Of course, the premise is that they are of similar status to him, and not too much higher.

Even so, [The Secret of Eternity] is not one of the strongest dozens of proofs of eternity, so you can imagine how powerful [The Critical Strike of Eternity] must be.

Taking a deep breath and calming himself slightly, Xia Fa looked down at the City of Ten Thousand Stars.

From his vantage point, he had a perfect view of the City of Ten Thousand Stars below.

At this moment, apart from the occasional rat or cockroach crawling across the ground, the City of Ten Thousand Stars was utterly silent.

Add to that the magnificent castles and the enormous treats like candy or chicken legs, and it looks like a quiet fairytale kingdom.

If only this fairytale kingdom didn't have that Silver Cleaner and those twenty-odd Bronze Cleaners.

Indeed, not long after Xia Fa arrived near the City of Ten Thousand Stars, he witnessed with his own eyes a Star Spirit Rift that stretched for ten thousand meters above the city.

Then, a Silver Cleaner, also ten thousand meters in size, emerged, accompanied by more than twenty Bronze Cleaners.

To be precise, there were twenty-three Bronze Cleaners; he had already counted them several times.

"What should I do?!"

Although he had long realized that obtaining the [Eternal Critical Strike] was not so simple, he had desperately tried to become stronger by any means necessary in the past few days, even risking consuming the "Mutant Crystal Source" to obtain three extremely powerful mutations and become a mutant.

However, Xia Fa still didn't expect that even the Silver Cleaners would come, and they brought a full twenty-three Bronze Cleaners with them!

What are they trying to do?

The Cleaners—aren't they incapable of absorbing and containing the [Eternal Certificate]?

At this moment, Xia Fa could only be thankful that he had chosen to hide in a place that was relatively far from the City of Ten Thousand Stars from the beginning.

Otherwise, he would probably have been frozen and killed by that silver cleaner by now.

The Silver Cleaner was wielding a very rare weapon, a large axe. The shape of this axe was similar to that of an axe, but it was larger and appeared much more solemn and majestic.

Xia Fa remembered that in ancient times, the great axe was used for ceremonial purposes and for military campaigns. He wondered if this Silver Cleaner, who was holding a silver axe, might have any special abilities.

He was silently observing the Cleaners' every move, while waiting for the [Eternal Critical Strike] to truly appear.

But just then, the Silver Cleaner brandished his great axe and spoke solemnly, "Bring him up, and then begin the alert. Remember, I will not allow any accidents to happen, and neither will Lord Alm the Greatbow, understand?"

The twenty-three bronze cleaners raised their bronze lances in unison and answered in resounding voices, "As you command!"

Immediately, they actually dispersed and formed a circle around the outer perimeter of the City of Ten Thousand Stars.

Only one Bronze Cleaner remained, but he turned his horse around and walked back into the massive, ten-thousand-meter-long Star Spirit Rift, seemingly to retrieve the "thing" the Silver Cleaner had mentioned.

this----

Xia Faren was dumbfounded. He had thought he would first encounter Dionysius, and at most run into some insane gods or similar unknown beings attracted by the [Eternal Critical Strike].

But judging from this situation, Dionysius probably wouldn't dare to come.

Although this mysterious emperor of the Silver Church may not know what the "Cleansers" are, the terrifying divine aura emanating from the Bronze Cleansers and the even more powerful and suffocating Outer God aura emanating from the Silver Cleansers are undeniable.

"What should I do?!"

Xia Fa was now in a real dilemma. He couldn't do without [Eternal Critical Strike], as it involved what Lord [Paradox Clown] had said about the foundation for becoming a true god.

In other words, to become a true god and absorb the first kind of eternal credentials, one must be one of the strongest of the dozens, which is equivalent to one of the highest-ranking authorities.

But now, with the Cleaners putting up such a show of force, obtaining [Eternal Critical Strike] is probably harder than climbing to heaven.

Just then, the Bronze Cleanser who had entered the Protoss Rift emerged from it again.

Its size was deliberately reduced to only a few dozen meters tall, but it was carrying a human as if it were a chick.

That is—!

Xia Fa's eyes widened suddenly, and his pupils trembled uncontrollably at that moment.

In the hands of the bronze cleaner was a mysterious emperor dressed as an adventurer.

It was—the very person I had seen at Gilgamesh's grand banquet!

At that time, this mysterious emperor, who looked like an adventurer, was joking around with Patriarch Heimdall and Pope Hercules. They were obviously very familiar with each other, and Shafa had a deep impression of this.

But unexpectedly, He was captured by the Cleaners?

This mysterious emperor, who looked like an adventurer, was not only captured by the Cleaners, but also had his clothes tattered and his hair disheveled, making him look like a beggar.

What's even more chilling is that his eyes were lifeless, his mouth was crooked, and he kept drooling semi-transparent saliva, which dripped onto his clothes.

It seems that He has transformed from that spirited young Mystic Emperor into a mindless puppet.

"Lord Yin Yue, the person has been brought!"

The Bronze Cleaner then presented the Mysterious Emperor to the Silver Cleaner with both hands.

The Silver Cleaner waved its hand dismissively: "Move aside, move aside. These extraordinary insects look dirty to me. You just guard Him and wait for [Eternal Critical Strike]."

"Then just show up."

"Yes, sir!"

It turns out this silver cleaner has a name, it's called Silver.

Xia Fa finally learned the name of the Silver Cleaner, but he didn't know the logic behind the Cleaners' naming.

Why is the Golden Cleaner, who wields a giant golden bow, named Alm the Greatbow, with a full name and surname, while the Silver Cleaner's name is only two characters?

"Wait, could it be that they're going to—!"

Suddenly, a cold glint flashed in his mind, and Xia Fa immediately realized the purpose of these cleaners' visit.

Since they specifically captured a Mystic Emperor and destroyed his soul, rendering him mindless and a puppet to be controlled, then the Purifiers' goal must be to seize the [Eternal Critical Strike], have the Mystic Emperor absorb and contain it on the spot, and then control him to sacrifice himself to fully activate the [Eternal Critical Strike]!

In this way, just as Pope Nidhogg sacrificed himself, once the "Eternal Critical Strike" is fully activated, it will transform into the concept and authority of "Critical Strike" in the universe, returning to the universe itself.

In this way, at least for the next year, there will be no need to worry about anyone getting [Eternal Critical Strike].

"What a vicious scheme!"

Xia Fa's gaze narrowed slightly, and a strong killing intent towards the Cleaners rose in his heart once again.

They went to great lengths and used every means at their disposal to prevent the extraordinary beings from obtaining the "Proof of Eternity."

In particular, to fully activate the certificate of eternity, it is not necessary to absorb and contain it completely; it is enough to absorb and contain it initially, or to become the owner of that certificate of eternity.

The original Nidhogg Pope almost became a god because he didn't fully absorb and accept the "Eternal Chaos," but he still managed to sacrifice himself at the last moment, completely unleashing the "Eternal Chaos."

"It seems we can only wait until [Eternal Critical Strike] is released before trying to find a solution. Maybe things will take a turn for the better then—"

Seeing that the City of Ten Thousand Stars was now surrounded by massive bronze cleaners, and the silver cleaner named Silver Axe was stationed above the City of Ten Thousand Stars, forbidding any entity from interfering.

Xia Fa had no choice but to wait and see.

But at that moment, the silver cleaner's gaze sharpened, a cold glint flashed in his eyes beneath his mask, and he swung his silver weapon directly out.

It actually used the supreme killing technique that Xia Fa had seen before, and directly struck the void not far ahead.

At the same time, a semi-transparent thin film covered the silver axe, and the void itself seemed to evade its strike, turning that area into nothingness.

Even if this strike only hits the void, if no one stops it, it could shatter the City of Ten Thousand Stars below and even the entire Worm Islands!

Even though Caligi is the location of the Earthly Kingdom of the Silver Universe and the Nature Monarch, and the planet itself has been blessed and reinforced by the two righteous gods, it is still difficult for it to withstand a single blow from the Silver Cleanser, who possesses the strength of a peak Outer God!

But just then, from nowhere, two fingers wrapped in bandages stretched out.

With a soft "ding," the two bandaged fingers effortlessly caught the silver axe that the Silver Cleaner had brought down.

Immediately, a bandaged man, his body wrapped in bandages, emerged from the void, sitting in a magnificent golden coffin.

"I'm telling you, Yin Yue, such a strong killing intent isn't good. If you shatter the City of Ten Thousand Stars, it will affect the birth of [Eternal Critical Strike]. You can't afford that."

The Silver Cleanser pulled back the silver axe that had been caught in its grip with a single hand, its eyes flashing with even greater coldness: "[Undying Mummy], instead of hiding in the Protoss Realm, you dare to interfere in this matter?"

The Undying Mummy chuckled, its dark eyes peeking out from beneath the bandages filled with delight: "What, trying to scare me with your Golden Cleansers? Don't think I don't know, now only Alm Greatbow and Gastis Greataxe are left. They're too busy chasing me, hahaha!"

The Silver Cleaner sneered, "Chase you? You dare to challenge me? You're just lucky; you always manage to escape before the Gold Cleaners arrive."

As it spoke, it suddenly brandished its large silver axe, as if issuing a command: "Attack! Slay this fiend!"

The twenty-three bronze cleaners turned around in unison, seemingly preparing to form some kind of extremely powerful battle formation.

But the [Immortal Mummy] remained calm and unhurried, instead lying down on the golden coffin inlaid with gems and decorated with reliefs, and a beach chair made of sand immediately appeared.

"Come on, I want to see if you, these deserving-to-be-tortured cleaners, will still have the strength to deal with other Outer Gods and unknown beings after you've killed me."

It would have been better if He hadn't said anything. As soon as He said that, the Silver Cleaner seemed to realize something, and his cold eyes under his mask suddenly swept across the surrounding air.

Immediately, his eyelids drooped, and he murmured, "So many—"

The next moment, a dazzling array of strange figures appeared in the air.

First, there was a bizarre, blue, fleshy-looking superdimensional embryo, covered with broken bones and deformed blood vessels growing between the bones.

Next was a philosophical attendant whose head was two books facing each other, wearing a familiar white scholar's robe, but the metal circles at the collar and cuffs were made of pure white, light-reflecting silver.

Then there was an unknown being that looked like a lizard, whose entire body—from its head to its torso to its limbs—was inlaid with iron-gray rings engraved with ancient runes.

In addition, there was a giant worm that looked like a worm, with rows of sharp teeth in its mouthparts, but its body was covered with talismans.

And, a round, transparent bubble with rather cute facial features, floating in the air.

These are all non-humanoid beings, clearly unknown entities from the Protoss realm.

As for the human form, there was a young man dressed like a gentleman, holding a curved magic wand.

And a majestic knight clad in metal armor, wearing a red cloak, and carrying a giant sword on his shoulder.

There was another one, who looked like a delicate young lady from a noble family, holding a blue parasol, with curly and smooth blond hair, and a pair of lake-blue eyes that were particularly eye-catching.

Xia Faren was dumbfounded. He had thought that only the Cleaners had come to interfere, but he did not expect that so many Outer Gods and unknown Outer God-level beings would come.

In particular, the Outer God that appeared at the beginning, named the "Immortal Mummy," could easily catch the Silver Cleaner's slash with just two fingers, its strength was simply terrifying.

But none of that matters anymore. The key question is—why do so many god-like beings appear in the real world without causing any uncontrolled pollution?

"When the strongest dozens of [Proofs of Eternity] are born, they will cause the real world and the Protoss Realm to merge briefly. However, in the past, not many powerful beings actually came to the real world to compete for them."

The familiar voice rang out from his spiritual intuition, and Xia Fa recognized it immediately.

"Dick Tudor?"

The next moment, Dick Tudor's voice answered him through spiritual intuition, quite seriously: "Yes, it's me. I was originally going to secretly help you when this [Eternal Critical Strike] was born, but I didn't expect so many unexpected things to happen. This is really difficult—"

Xia Fa couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"

Dick Tudor sighed, "The root of the trouble is that all nine great gods except for [Silver Universe] and [Temporary Reality] have been replaced, and [Temporary Reality] has directly sided with the Cleaners."

"In the previous 30,000 years, it would have been impossible for beings of this Outer God rank to gather in the real world like this."

"Because, regarding the birth of the [Proof of Eternity], the nine great gods once established a tacit rule."

After a slight pause, as if organizing his thoughts, Dick Tudor continued, "This rule has been strictly observed by gods beyond gods and unknown beings of equal rank for over 30,000 years."

"After all, if they don't follow the rules, the nine righteous gods will wipe them out in an instant. To put it simply, the rule can be summed up in one sentence."

"What belongs to the Protoss Realm belongs to the Protoss Realm, and what belongs to the real world belongs to the real world."

Xia Fa pondered for a moment and said, "What belongs to the Star Spirit Realm belongs to the Star Spirit Realm, and what belongs to the real world belongs to the real world?"

Dick Tudor confirmed, "That's right, I'm sure you've understood. To put it simply, the 'Proof of Eternity' that comes out of the Protoss Realm belongs to the Outer Gods and beings in need within the Protoss Realm, while the 'Proof of Eternity' that comes out of the real world belongs to the Mysterious Emperors and the Holy Spirits of Destiny in the real world."

Xia Fa seemed to understand something: "So, in this situation—"

Dick Tudor sighed, "Yes, since most of the Protoss Realm now knows that the Nine Gods are fake, they don't care whether they or they will enter the real world without permission, so they all chose to come."

"Although the Cleaners do take care of things, most of the Gold Cleaners are currently tied up by [Absolute Defense]."

"Of course, even if there is no righteous god to interfere, under normal circumstances, beings of godhood outside the gods will not easily enter the real world."

"Because if the uncontrolled pollution caused to the real world is too great, it will also affect the real world's perception of them, and thus affect the stability of the anchor point."

"But unfortunately, now is the time for the [Eternal Critical Strike] to be born."

"When these strongest of the dozens of eternal credentials are born, it is as if the highest authority in the universe is fluctuating, and therefore, the real world will intertwine with the Protoss Realm."

"Even if they come to the real world, the uncontrolled pollution they cause will flow silently into the Protoss Realm and will not affect the real world in the slightest."

"Therefore, these beings of divine rank beyond gods have come for the [Eternal Critical Strike], after all, it represents one of the dozens of supreme authorities—the authority of a critical strike. No one could resist it."

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa finally understood.

However, for him, this doesn't seem to be all bad.

Now, at least there are so many powerful beings from beyond the divine ranks causing trouble. This is much better than the previous situation where the Cleaners directly occupied the entire City of Ten Thousand Stars and waited for the [Eternal Critical Strike].

Only in this murky situation can one have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

However, there was one thing that made him unable to help but complain: "According to this, wouldn't the planetary barrier established by Lord [Silver Universe] only be able to block the extraordinary monarchs and mysterious emperors of other life-bearing planets?

Through his spiritual intuition, Dick Tudor smiled helplessly, "That's right. Actually, if it were the first two millennia of the universe, this planetary barrier itself would have been a deterrent to those beings of divine status beyond gods. After all, it's equivalent to a true god making a statement. Even with the incredibly tempting [Eternal Critical Strike], who would dare to snatch it?"

He sighed slightly and continued, "But now, many beings in the Celestial Spirit Realm know that the Silver Universe itself is in dire straits. In order to obtain the Eternal Critical Strike and protect themselves as much as possible when the Golden Cleansers collectively awaken a year later, these beings of outer godhood can no longer care about so much."

Xia Fa pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I see—"

Before he could continue discussing things with Dick, suddenly, an incomparably strange and supremely powerful aura erupted from the City of Ten Thousand Stars!

The already enormous castle, candy, chicken legs, and other items suddenly became even larger, almost filling and crushing the entire City of Ten Thousand Stars.

Immediately afterwards, streaks of golden light emerged from an inconspicuous little fishing hut in the City of Ten Thousand Stars, instantly spreading across the entire sky.

Everyone, including Xia Fa, felt a chill run down their spines. At the same time, an uncontrollable anticipation and longing surged up and filled their chests. This was the official appearance of the [Eternal Critical Strike]!
