Chapter 17 He Cannot Be Killed by Mortals (Two Chapters Combined)

The terrifying "Black Suns" have been completely annihilated, truly annihilated!

Although the people in the North 1 Command Center, as well as the military leaders of the relevant bases, were all watching the live broadcast of the battle situation provided by the "Honeycomb Eye" reconnaissance aircraft and reconnaissance satellites, the information they obtained was not much less than that of Tan Fu.

But Tan Fu's definitive and resolute announcement still served as the final word.

People snapped out of their daze and burst into cheers!

The loudest cheers were heard from the headquarters of Southeast Base No. 1 and the headquarters of various frontline combat units.

But after receiving the news, these people felt weak in the knees.

When many people thought of cheering, something seemed to appear in their eyes first, blurring the faces of their comrades and the vast sea ahead.

Qi An's eyes blurred for a few seconds as well.

One reason was that the waves generated by the explosion gave him a thorough bath several times.

Secondly, it's because of fatigue.

She's far from having unlimited health.

If she suffers repeated severe injuries, her regeneration rate will slow down, and if she suffers a devastating blow all at once, she will die.

Just like those "black suns".

Qi An was trapped inside the fleshy ball for two minutes. When he came out, he had hardly any good scales or flesh left on his body.

She was still covered in blood from her injuries and plunged headfirst into the sea.

The battle was not completely over yet; her mother and Qiu Yunmeng had already become entangled hundreds of meters underwater!

It was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, but both of their skin glowed, and with their messy tentacles, they looked like a pair of luminous jellyfish in the deep sea.

The pressure underwater was immense, but far less than inside the Black Sun clone. Qi An's tail shortened, and fins grew on its back, yet it was still able to swim rapidly toward the light source.

There was originally no sound in the deep sea, but when Qi An swam halfway through, he "heard" a sound:

"The great war was won? You won? Humanity won?"

Humanity truly won, won big! Because they suffered no casualties!

That little girl with the 'electromagnetic clone' did indeed fight alongside you.

But she herself was thousands of miles away, in the safest fortress imaginable.

You built the Great Wall with your blood and flesh, but she was playing video games.

As for the people at the source of the long-range missiles, their job is even easier; they only need to verify the coordinates and press the missile button.

In this way, the strongest polluter was blocked, and humanity naturally won.

This is Qiu Yunmeng transmitting a message to Qi An and Ye Xiao.

"Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, oh no, it's already the first day of the Lunar New Year."

We've won a great victory, so we should celebrate! Maybe we should even set off a 1,000-gun salute to celebrate the rebirth of civilization!

What can they offer as a reward for your bloody battle?

A few "thank yous"s? Some admiration? Or increasing wariness?

If there are no powerful enemies in the future, and no civil war for the time being, will humanity develop even more powerful secret weapons? And by what standards will they be developed?

Qiu Yunmeng still smiled, a cold mockery, even tinged with anger at her lack of ambition:

"They will use Qi An as the standard, and develop according to her combat strength!"

All long-range attack methods were rendered ineffective in the deep sea, and the battle between the two "people" seemed to be in slow motion, not intense at all.

But Qi An could see from afar, or even vaguely, that Qiu Yunmeng had wrapped her tentacles around her mother's neck and limbs, and seemed to be pulling at them!

She immediately sped up and sprinted forward!

Qiu Yunmeng was still speaking, and she was only saying this to Qi An:

Why not respond? Is it because you disdain to respond?

You defend humanity because you are always human, a warrior for your country and people, and your faith will never die.

Do you share the same thoughts as Xu Zhuoxing?

Indeed, in some ways, you are the same as Xu Zhuoxing.

Your current strength is the same as his previous level, and what you are doing now is what he did before—using the power he received from God to intimidate us!

But what was Xu Zhuoxing's fate?

Qiu Yunmeng's laughter grew louder and louder, stirring up strong emotions.

If these were real sound waves, they might be so powerful that they could stir up the surrounding water!

But Qi An seemed to have really caught a sound, a deep, vibrating sound that existed in reality, a sound that was really stirring the sea!

Qi An's forward momentum suddenly stopped again. She swung her tail forward and took a step back!

A foul stench wafted towards her, and then swept past her.

The seawater churned violently, and Qi An's retreat avoided a fierce impact!

Fluorescent substances also grew on the surface of her skin, and it emitted light.

Using that faint light, she saw what had attacked her.

That's... a whale! A killer whale!

It was enormous. If a human were to see it up close in the deep sea, it would be enough to trigger thalassophobia. With a flick of its tail fin, it seemed about to swat her away!

Qi An was more agile than this big guy. He used his tail, which was completely fish-tail shaped, to swing it backward and dodge again.

Although she managed to evade it, she had a hundred questions in her mind.

She has seen orcas and knows that orcas do not like to attack humans!

Of course, she is no longer human, but all animals on Earth are disgusted and terrified by the polluted atmosphere and will not go near the Fallen Insects!

The killer whale opened its gaping maw and pounced again!

This time, Qi An saw clearly that the whale's teeth were not normal teeth at all; they were even sharper and denser than those of a shark!

These teeth were of varying lengths and crooked; some even pierced its own flesh as its snout opened and closed, and the blood that flowed out was green!

Qi An immediately recalled the scene when the "Black Sun" had just risen into the sky from the small island.

At that moment, a seagull flew below their battlefield. Brushed by the black mist, it lost all its feathers and became an ugly, bald bird, which then fell into the sea!

Qi An forced himself to concentrate and discovered that the polluted atmosphere in this once quiet and peaceful deep sea had become extremely strong!

Qi An flicked his tail and rose to the surface, dodging the attack of the mutated killer whale once again, while his reconnaissance eyes scanned the surroundings.

There were many dark figures all around.

There were also many huge sea monsters, each 6 or 7 meters long and weighing 6 or 7 tons, surrounding her!

Orcas are social animals!

The bloody wind not only swept over them, but it threatened to engulf Qi An!

But Qi An did not rise or retreat. A large circle of blade-like tentacles grew from her body, and she charged towards her mother again, defying the encirclement of the enormous whale pod!

Like a small silver shuttle, it has to pass through a turbulent dark meteorite cluster, or a diamond of a few carats, and crash into a pile of rocks!

But diamonds are much harder than rocks, and ships are fast and fierce, ramming left and right, leaving a long green trail in the deep sea!

"Truly a born warrior, decisive and fearless!" Qiu Yunmeng's voice seemed to contain both admiration and praise, but its underlying tone remained icy.

"You are very smart too."

High-ranking priests can sense each other within a certain distance.

Your sensory abilities, like Xu Zhuoxing's, are beyond our level.

So you sensed it, and you figured it out, didn't you?

He can't be killed, he can't be wiped out!

He is the shadow He cast upon the mortal realm. Because His power is limitless, no mortal can kill Him, and neither can you!

Your battle is meaningless; everything on Earth ultimately belongs to Him!

As soon as Qiu Yunmeng finished speaking, Qi An had already swum at her fastest speed!

She lived on the island for three years, crossed the ocean many times, and went diving countless times.

The ocean world of Earth is magnificent and beautiful. Among the millions of marine creatures, Qi An has a special fondness for the chubby, fierce, and incredibly intelligent killer whale.

But then she went on a killing spree, charging forward and leaving behind countless orcas with their heads turned white.

Qi An knew perfectly well that "he can't kill them all" meant that "the Black Sun" was inexhaustible.

The "kill" she understood, and the "kill" Tan Fu understood, both meant killing until the other party could no longer regroup, killing until the polluted aura became faint, so faint that she could no longer perceive it.

However, her perception was not precise enough to detect even the smallest bits of flesh that had entered the sea. Moreover, the activity and polluting odor of those bits of flesh gradually disappeared, undergoing a weakening process.

What if minced meat, still carrying the smell of pollution and alive, falls into the sea and remains alive, or even rises again in the deep ocean?

"He" of course refers to the vague, unseen, and inviolable sun-like deity behind the pollution.

The "Black Sun" that Xu Zhuoxing transformed into is His shadow in this world, His thicker and more direct tentacles!

Because His power is inexhaustible, that disgusting "black sun" will also live on forever.

Therefore, "Mortals cannot kill it; everything ultimately belongs to Him!"

Qi An rushed forward desperately because he sensed an even purer and more concentrated pollution.

Qiu Yunmeng entangled Ye Xiao not to use the conventional methods of beheading or dismemberment to deal with Ye Xiao.

This won't kill a single 6-winged being.

While ordinary six-winged creatures don't possess the abnormal vitality of the "Black Sun," which supposedly "relies directly on a god," they can still recover over time as long as they retain a sliver of life!

Qi An can grow inside Qiu Yunmeng's body and can "pollute" Qiu Yunmeng.

She could kill Qiu Yunmeng completely, but Qiu Yunmeng would find it difficult to kill Ye Xiao completely.

Qiu Yunmeng's use of methods like beheading and dismemberment is a waste of time, so she wants to corrupt Ye Xiao.

The pollution from the "Black Sun" was effective against Ye Xiao.

The reason Qiu Yunmeng dragged Ye Xiao into the deep sea was because, during the great battle at sea, a small black sun had once again gathered in the sea.

That tiny black sun... Qi An broke through the encirclement and got very close to the two people. She saw that fleshy ball, only a size larger than a tennis ball, right next to Ye Xiao's face!

There was no light, only the skin of the three people glowed faintly.

Ye Xiao's cheeks also glowed, a pure white light.

She turned her head to look at Qi An.

Her gaze was blank. Perhaps the 80% level of clarity she had gained from fighting pollution over the years had been reduced by more than half, or even was about to be wiped out!

"Mom! Mom! Listen to me, Qiu Yunmeng is talking nonsense!"

What reward, what vigilance, what betrayal! We don't care if humanity will betray us; we fight for our love, for our own choice!

If they betray us after we win, then we will force them to not be able to betray us, and not dare to betray us!

You said it, and Uncle Xu said it too! Our strength and our faith have become so strong that we no longer need to pray for or expect their goodwill, and we will not regret what we have done!

Mom! Listen to me!

Qi An roared using "sound transmission"!

She also subconsciously opened her mouth and blew out a long string of bubbles.

The bubbles blurred her vision; she couldn't see the glimmer of light in Ye Xiao's eyes, nor could she see that Ye Xiao had also opened her mouth and exhaled the same string of bubbles.

"precious......"

She murmured.

Some negative thoughts and inflammatory words did affect her mood.

This impact is permanent! The fight against pollution is like rowing against the current; moving forward takes years and years, while retreating is like a breach in a dam, which can only collapse again and again, and is difficult to stop!

What's the point of Qi An spouting those principles?

The only thing that matters is her life.

Only when Ye Xiao cut open her own belly and gently lifted up the tiny baby girl, did her safety and her love matter.

The black fleshy ball burrowed into Ye Xiao's mouth and nose. Qi An was already very close to Ye Xiao. He had already cut off Qiu Yunmeng's tentacles with his sword, touched her face, and hugged her!

The glimmer of light in Ye Xiao's eyes went out.

When I opened my eyes again, there was a blackness even purer than the deep sea.

Qi An felt pain.

She felt a sharp pain in her chest; it was her mother's hand, her palm raised like a knife, stabbing into her body.

Green blood, more bubbles, spreading upwards.

There is no light, no sound, no top, no bottom; it is a cold, silent void.

How much this resembles that void!

Qi An vaguely realized that she had actually figured out Uncle Xu's fate.

The gods of the fallen insects are, of course, that elusive being in the void.

Qi An has already undergone such a transformation, yet he still cannot see Him clearly.

She asked Uncle Xu, and he said that he would occasionally become aware of and sense a void in a dreamlike state.

His perception was unclear, and he had never had any contact or communication with any deity.

The complete succumbing to corruption, the absolute obedience to the gods, is entirely a kind of "nature".

Their depictions of His image, outputting distorted symbols and patterns with a polluting effect, are like the instinct of bees to build intricate hives.

Qi An thought that there was a deep estrangement between that god and His believers, and even His priests.

She also thought that "emptiness" and God should be two different concepts.

"Void" is a place, a space where gods reside, and in some ways, it can be called "divine realm".

Qi An had a very strong intuition that Xu Zhuoxing, her Uncle Xu, had defeated the will of God.

He won that protracted war, gained true freedom, and most likely also achieved some kind of transcendence, entering the "realm of the gods."

"Divine Realm" and "God" should be two different concepts.

There is no communication between God and His believers and priests; there is a deep barrier between them.

This is very likely because there is an absolute barrier between the "Divine Realm" and the world where Blue Star is located, the "present world"!

The "Divine Realm" is a different dimension from Earth!

If the "Divine Realm" is a space, then why can't there be a second god in this space?

Xu Zhuoxing is the newly promoted, second god.

However, a weak and ignorant new god is merely a snack for the powerful old god!

Xu Zhuoxing also died.

Qiu Yunmeng said, "Ordinary people can't kill it."

He is the one whom mortals cannot kill.
