Chapter 524 This is a blasphemous crime.
“The sages want to realize their plan to create a god, but they don’t want to be discovered. The safest and most convenient place is naturally the Church of God.”
Nasita leaped lightly downwards from the core of the void, her entire body rapidly descending.
Xu Ning was startled and quickly jumped down after her. Only when he reached out to catch her did he realize that this little one was also a god, and wouldn't be so easily killed by a fall.
"When I asked you to give me directions, it meant you didn't need to go; I can basically handle him myself."
Nestled in Xu Ning's arms, Narcida laughed and said, "Judging from the state of the void's operation, the Church Council's god-making plan is very likely to be completed soon, or at worst, it has already been completed. Even so, are you confident that you can defeat him?"
Xu Ning pondered for a moment, "I have already witnessed his power to control celestial phenomena, and I feel that I still have some solutions."
"In that case, I'd like to watch from the sidelines even more. After all, that would mean experiencing my own destiny with you, which is something to look forward to!"
Seeing Naxida's somewhat excited expression, Xu Ning couldn't help but smile as well.
"You should have come out and run around on your own a long time ago. What's the point of just secretly watching other people's fates? Only gods can control their own destiny!"
Upon hearing Xu Ning's talk about the gods, Nasita asked with some curiosity, "I've also experienced this feeling of controlling one's destiny with that man called Sanbing. He seemed to think the same way. You seem to know a lot about his past?"
Xu Ning recalled what Yae no Miko had told him about the past and explained, "He was created by Inazuma's Raijin as a vessel for the Heart of God, essentially the prototype of Raiden General... uh? You don't know what a prototype means? Well, it's like a Unit-00 without any weapons or features, just... anyway, it was obsolete, otherwise it would be a Raijin proxy now."
"Because the Heart of God that should have been given to him wasn't, he's still thinking about taking it back and completing his path to godhood. Otherwise, with his bad temper and almost arrogant pride, why would he let the Doctor treat him like an experimental subject? Look, after using him, the Doctor immediately unleashed a lightning strike!"
Nasita listened attentively. "He's an interesting person! If we go through here, we'll be able to meet him in person."
Xu Ning and Naxi Da landed at the end of the passage. The portal in front of them opened slowly without wind, revealing a huge human figure behind it.
Xu Ning couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!" as she walked towards the pier. "Didn't you say you were making a god? You actually made a Zero unit! But I have to say, it's very much to my liking. Whose idea was this? Was it the Doctor's? Or yours? If it was designed by those wise men in the Council of the Order, then I won't recommend banishing them anymore. They should all be locked up in prison making figurines until they die..."
Standing behind the pier platform at this moment is a huge purple, half-bodied, four-armed robot.
Judging from its size alone, Xu Ning felt that he was only about the size of one of its fingers.
I've seen the Four Gods before, and none of them became gods based on their size. This is a completely different story.
A loud mechanical sound rang out, and the robot's head moved slightly, slowly raising itself to look at Xu Ning in front of it and Naxida not far away.
"Do I still remember you all, so eager to witness my birth? The god of wisdom, Buyer, and..."
Xu Ning raised his hand to interrupt the robot's speech, "Don't pretend that so many years have passed. Not long ago you said you wanted me to see what you were capable of, and you even threatened to strike me with lightning, you straggler."
"Hmph, you insignificant insect, I will forgive your rudeness only once. For me, the name 'Scattered Soldier' is a distant memory. When my spirit ascended to godhood, it felt as if I had lived through an era equal to that of heaven and earth."
The enormous robot raised its four arms, radiating an endless pressure.
"The body, which takes the concept of a skirmisher mechanical puppet to its extreme, is technically commendable, thanks to the continuous energy supply from the Heart of God. However, his spirit has not been elevated; his consciousness remains that of a skirmisher."
Xu Ning agreed with Nasita's assessment. After all, he couldn't sense any change in the person inside from the robot's words, especially its reprimanding tone, which was unforgettable after just one listen.
"Hey, skirmisher, to be honest, I really like this big guy. Why don't you come out of the cockpit and we'll have a spar on the ground? We'll wager this thing on the winner..."
"Insect! You worthless wretch, you dare to challenge me! This is a conversation between the God of Justice and the God of Buyer, get out of my way!"
The giant robot suddenly raised one arm and slammed it down on Xu Ning as if it were about to swat a cockroach.
Xu Ning had naturally prepared to dodge long ago, and the moment the giant hand slammed down, Xu Ning had already dodged away.
However, just as Xu Ning dodged out of the range of the attack, the God of Righteousness raised his two upper arms, and his palms opened as if they had opened their third eyes, revealing two purple eyes.
Clusters of purple lightning shot out rapidly, chasing after Xu Ning.
"Thunder, this is a good opportunity to give it a try."
Xu Ning suddenly turned around and fully mobilized the power of the Thunder God's Heart within the Dust Concealment Gourd. Golden lightning patterns flashed between the golden dragon claws on the gourd's body, and the purple lightning that filled the sky flew into Xu Ning's Dust Concealment Gourd like birds returning to their nests.
The powerful attack was completely neutralized without causing the slightest ripple.
An eerie silence fell over the pier platform for a moment.
"How can it be……"
The soldiers' angry voices rang out, seemingly finding it unbelievable that Xu Ning could contain the lightning he released.
With a slight lift of his right forearm, three whirlwinds appeared on the platform almost simultaneously.
"Swirl...vortex!"
At the same time, water elements suddenly gathered in his left hand and were added to the whirlwind, instantly forming three water tornadoes that crisscrossed and attacked Xu Ning.
"Changed your tactics? Afraid to use Thunder anymore? Let me tell you, I'm actually more familiar with this."
A blue light emanated from Xu Ning's gourd, and three almost identical whirlwinds appeared on the platform. Apart from their direction of rotation being exactly the opposite of the whirlwinds summoned by the scattered soldiers, they were otherwise identical.
"Oh, I forgot, to neutralize you, I'll need to add some more fire."
Xu Ning casually conjured the wine into a gust of wind and sent it into the whirlwind, then snapped his fingers.
Three fiery whirlwinds approached the waterspout summoned by the scattered soldiers.
The six wind clusters vanished from the platform in an instant. After the wind, fire, and water elements exploded in the air, only chaotic wind elements remained, howling and swirling in the confined space.
After being countered by two consecutive moves, the soldier, who was the God of the Righteous Mechanism, was even more furious. He then chose to use the Thunder Technique, which was the most effective and powerful technique for him.
"If you have the guts, then try again, through a hundred lifetimes!"
Suddenly, a ring of objects resembling the Eyes of God appeared around the God of Machines, as if several "eyes" had suddenly opened in the void. Each eye shot out a thick bolt of lightning, rapidly slicing around the robot's body.
This time, the lightning bolts were concentrated and solid, showing that the soldiers deliberately changed the form of the lightning strike because they were afraid that their Dust Concealment Gourd would absorb his lightning again.
If he were to try to absorb more from the gourd, he would probably be swept away by the other lightning pillars before he could absorb even one.
Just as Xu Ning was about to use his movement skills to dodge the lightning pillars, he suddenly remembered that Nasida, who had little combat experience, was standing behind him, so he immediately stopped.
"It seems there's no way to avoid it; we'll just have to tough it out!"
The skirmisher burst into laughter, "Take it head-on? You think you have the body of a god? You think you can stand for more than a few breaths under this lightning... you..."
The soldiers' laughter stopped abruptly when they saw Xu Ning's actions.
Xu Ning really held on!
When he took out a... divine body from the Hidden Dust Cave, it did indeed block the attack!
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch... Xu Ning, you son of a bitch, this is too much!"
With Wendy's neck choked, Xu Ning directly shielded her from the lightning bolts fired by the skirmishers.
And you know what? Despite Wendy often saying that he's "the weakest of the Seven" and "not very good at fighting," he's surprisingly effective at blocking skirmishers.
Moreover, because Xu Ning was closest, he could clearly sense an extremely fierce gale flowing through Wendy's chest and abdomen. It was light yet extremely fast, and the scattered soldiers' lightning could not advance an inch when it reached there.
Despite his screams of pain, he wasn't hurt at all.
"This is an unexpected surprise!"
Xu Ning chuckled, then, using Wendy as a shield, charged towards the skirmisher.
"No, no, no, no, if you keep shaking like that, I won't be able to maintain the wind, and I'll be riddled with bullets..."
Wendy called out as she tried to pry Xu Ning's hand off the back of her neck.
Xu Ning wouldn't let him have his way. He spun around twice during his charge, dodging the giant hand of the skirmisher, and casually flung Wendy so hard he almost vomited up the wine he'd just drunk that day.
"let's go!"
Xu Ning suddenly jumped up and slammed Wendy's head into the chest of the God of Machines. There was a huge triple lightning emblem there. According to the mecha anime that Xu Ning had watched over the years, it was either the cockpit or the power core. It was definitely one of the two, and it was a vital spot.
Wendy's head suddenly slammed into that layer of purple glass shell.
With a crack, the entire Thunder Pattern Emblem was instantly covered with cracks.
The stragglers shouted angrily.
"blasphemy... a great crime!"
Wendy, with her hands behind her back, gave him the middle finger. "The skirmisher is right!"
Four hands suddenly came together in front of the chest.
Xu Ning had no choice but to abandon his plan to break the crack and flip Wendy over backwards.
The four palms, which had missed their target, did not stop and instead shattered the bridge platform.
As Xu Ning fell, he saw that the half-body of the God of Justice was also falling, and then it merged with the lower body.
