Chapter 79
Chapter 79: You Are Nothing
“I didn’t come to ask for blessings; I came to take them.”
Hearing Qin Xian’s audacious declaration, Marika and the other gods’ expressions darkened, their faces contorted with indignation.
They could sense that Qin Xian held little reverence for them as deities, but they had never anticipated such brazen arrogance—that he would dare to seize divine blessings by force.
“Insolent mortal!” The gods were furious. The God of War, Kenqi, glared at Qin Xian, stepping forward as his divine aura flooded the hall. “Remember your place, mortal! Leave the Hall of the Gods at once—you shall receive no blessing!”
The wrath of the gods filled the human warriors in the hall with an instinctive fear. Humans and gods were fundamentally different, after all.
Even though these gods had lost their primary divine essences, they still exuded an inherent authority that suppressed and intimidated all humans.
Yet Qin Xian remained as calm as ever, his expression untroubled as he faced the assembly of gods. With a faint smile, he replied, “I have never failed to get what I want. No one can refuse me, not even gods.”
Kenqi’s eyes narrowed, his voice cold. “I’d like to see what you plan to do if I refuse.”
A glint of scorn flickered in Qin Xian’s eyes. In the next instant, he vanished, reappearing directly in front of Kenqi.
His body radiated blinding holy light, six wings unfurled behind him, exuding a terrifying divine aura that caused the surrounding space to collapse inward as if drawn to his presence.
With one fluid motion, Qin Xian slashed his sword toward Kenqi’s head!
Kenqi, enraged, clenched his fists as they flared with divine light, his form towering with divine might. He swung a fist toward Qin Xian, a blow powerful enough to shatter stars.
“Mortal, you court death!”
But in the next moment, shock filled Kenqi’s face. His fists were effortlessly severed by Qin Xian’s sword, which cleaved through all his divine defenses. With a single stroke, Qin Xian decapitated him.
Kenqi’s head tumbled to the ground, his face frozen in disbelief. “This… this… impossible…” he murmured before Qin Xian’s foot crushed his head, shattering it like a watermelon.
【Blessing of the Archangel of Light】: Enter Archangel form, transforming into a semi-divine being of holy light. Increases all attributes by 300%, boosts skill levels by 10, grants immunity to all control effects, and imbues all skills with divine intimidation. Duration: 30 minutes. Cooldown: 48 hours.
With one sword stroke, Qin Xian had killed the God of War, Kenqi. Although the gods of the Hall were genuine deities, they were also incomplete beings.
The Great Terror of the Void had stripped them of their primary divinity, leaving them confined to the Hall of the Gods with drastically weakened power, equivalent to around Level 50.
Meanwhile, Qin Xian, having stacked attributes from his god-slaying streak, along with the 【Blessing of the Archangel of Light】, now far surpassed them in strength.
Kenqi’s divine power and the remnants of his shattered divinity flowed into Qin Xian’s body, absorbed by his holy sword. Qin Xian watched as his system displayed a new notification indicating he had acquired a new divine fragment.
【War God’s Favor】: Divine Fragment. Increases all primary attributes by 10%, raises all skill levels by 1, adds +10% to divinity progress, grants immunity to divine intimidation skills, and unlocks the War God’s Edict.
【War God’s Edict】: Bestows mastery of war tactics, allowing insight into any opponent’s weaknesses and skill vulnerabilities. Duration: 2 hours. Cooldown: 24 hours.
Another divine fragment in hand.
Kenqi’s headless body collapsed with a thud, all traces of divinity and life extinguished.
With a faint smile, Qin Xian turned his gaze to the other gods, still exuding an air of polite composure. “Now, do you understand the consequences of denying me?”
The sight left everyone in the Hall speechless. Qin Xian had killed a god! And more astonishingly, he had dared to slay a god.
This was what set Qin Xian apart from everyone else. To others, including Ye Xuan, gods were supreme beings beyond reproach. One could only submit to their will, seek their approval, and hope for their blessings.
But Qin Xian was different. If a god refused him, he would simply kill the god. If anyone blocked his path—whether deity or mortal—Qin Xian would cut them down.
Marika and the gods stared at Kenqi’s lifeless form in disbelief. Kenqi, the War God who had once shattered countless realms in the battle against the Void, was dead? Killed by a mere human?
Marika trembled with rage, her entire being quaking as she fixed Qin Xian with a furious gaze. “How dare you commit deicide!?”
But beneath her fury lay a deeper feeling—a sliver of fear. Kenqi was one of the strongest among them next to Marika, yet he had still fallen to Qin Xian.
Seeing the fear in Marika’s and the other gods’ eyes, Qin Xian’s smile twisted with disdain. These gods still thought of themselves as omnipotent, untouchable beings?
For centuries, they had watched wave after wave of human warriors enter their hall, all groveling, revering them, and obeying them without question. This had made them believe they were truly invincible.
But when Qin Xian tore away their last veil of invincibility, it became clear: These gods… were nothing.
Looking down at Marika and the other gods with a condescending smile, Qin Xian said calmly, “If you kneel before me now, pledge your loyalty, and offer up your blessings, I might still consider sparing you.”
