The apocalypse comes suddenly.
Zhang Lin is trapped at home, and food is about to run out.
A system suddenly appears!
Marrying and having children will grant generous rewards.
...Flash Thirty-Seven and Burn Twenty-Five didn't want to talk.
They wanted to slap themselves.
The gods were terrified of death.
So much so that they were completely dumbfounded when they saw the God-Slaying Token. In fact, Zhang Lin's performance had many flaws, which they would have definitely noticed if they had been calmer.
But... they were so afraid of dying that they completely panicked, so they were easily fooled by Zhang Lin, who even managed to trick them into revealing how to use the token.
Actually, it's understandable that they are so afraid of death. For example...
It's like you're a rich second-generation heir who doesn't have to do anything all day but stay in your manor and enjoy yourself, eating whatever you want, playing whatever you want, and if you like a beautiful woman, she can be in your bed that very day...
The key point is that the gods have a very long lifespan. In any case, over the years, no one has ever seen a god die from the end of their lifespan.
They have countless hours to enjoy themselves to the fullest.
Tell me, if you were to live such a mundane life, would you be willing to die?
To give another analogy, the two gods are like two rich kids going to Africa on a mission. There's nothing to eat, drink, or do there, but they can endure it because they can always go back and continue their comfortable lives.
But then they suddenly encountered a black man, a powerful warlord who killed without blinking an eye. If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, since they were quite powerful themselves. The key issue was that the warlord also had guns, which could end their lives at any moment...
Zhang Lin is this black warlord, and their lives are now entirely in Zhang Lin's hands.
So, it was actually a normal reaction for them to panic at first.
"Spare me!"
The two gods begged for mercy in low, frustrated voices.
At this moment, they felt more than just frustrated; they felt utterly frustrated!
This is so damn frustrating!
They could have easily killed Zhang Lin, but now that Zhang Lin can actually use the token, they have no chance of turning the tables.
They also had very complicated feelings about Zhang Lin.
This human is incredibly audacious. Facing such powerful beings, he acts so arrogantly with just a token whose usage is unknown.
Arrogant and self-righteous.
So much so that the two gods were almost scared to death, and they didn't doubt his thoughts at all.
Zhang Lin, standing before them, smiled slightly at their pleas for mercy, saying, "Don't be afraid, it will be over soon!"
After saying that, he flicked the token in his hand, aiming it directly at Thunder God Flash Thirty-Seven.
The token was incredibly fast and possessed a mysterious power. Flash Thirty-Seven froze, unable to move, and was then struck directly by the token.
Upon contact between the token and Flash Thirty-Seven, Flash Thirty-Seven's massive body instantly turned into ashes, which drifted to the ground.
At the same time, the token automatically flew into Zhang Lin's hand.
Seeing this, the Flame God Zhuo Twenty-Five quickly launched an attack. He wanted to kill Zhang Lin before he could get the token, so that he could survive.
But the key point is that Zhang Lin is no pushover either.
He activated his ability and directly controlled the attacking Zhuo Twenty-Five. The Celestial God was incredibly powerful, and Zhang Lin could only control Him for a moment. The Flame Celestial God immediately regained His freedom, but He quickly became stiff and unable to move.
Because in that instant, the token had returned to Zhang Lin's hand. He then threw it at the Flame God Zhuo Twenty-Five, and the token locked onto him. He was instantly unable to move and, like the Thunder God, turned into ashes and fell to the ground.
The two gods died silently.
The token flew back into Zhang Lin's hand. He picked it up and examined it carefully. The token, which was originally a very bright silver-white, had now become very dull.
"They said that my token is of a relatively low level and can only be used three times. This time I killed two gods in one go, which means I still have one more chance to use it!"
Zhang Lin did not feel regretful about using this precious token to kill only two low-level gods, because he was a pragmatic person.
Just as he had thought, if he didn't kill the two gods, what if they launched a sneak attack later?
Or perhaps, even if the divine realm sends more gods, there's really nothing that can be done.
It would be better to deal with these two gods first, thereby creating a deterrent effect on the divine realm.
As for whether it can deter the divine realm...
That's hard to say.
Anyway, he only has one spot left to kill a god. If the divine realm sends two gods, there's nothing he can do.
In other words, he only had three slots for killing gods to begin with. If the divine realm sent four celestial gods, he would be helpless.
So use it when necessary, and solve the immediate problem first.
"Zhang Lin, are you alright?"
At this moment, the city lord flew over from a distance and landed beside him. She asked with concern, "Where are those two gods? Did they run away?"
She did see the two puddles of ashes on the ground, but she couldn't believe that these two puddles of ashes were the once invincible gods.
"Here it is."
Zhang Lin pointed.
The city lord looked over and then fell silent.
After a long pause, she slowly said, "Please don't tell me that these two piles of ashes are the two gods from before."
"Otherwise what?"
Zhang Lin raised an eyebrow at her.
"You really killed them?"
The city lord already had the answer in his heart, but he just couldn't believe it.
"Otherwise what?"
Zhang Lin asked again.
"..."
The city lord found it very difficult to accept.
She had truly watched Zhang Lin's strength grow stronger step by step. Before, when Zhang Lin's strength was on par with hers, she didn't think much of it...
However, the two celestial beings who could have instantly killed her were now killed silently by Zhang Lin, perhaps even instantly...
She couldn't quite accept that.
The composure cultivated over thousands of years, the ability to remain unmoved even in the face of a collapsing mountain, finally crumbled at this moment.
"You bastard, you deserve to die!"
She could no longer contain the bone-deep envy, jealousy, and hatred in her heart, and said through gritted teeth.
Seeing how strong Zhang Lin was, she felt genuinely uncomfortable, as if there were ants crawling all over her.
Zhang Lin was stunned when he was suddenly scolded.
"No, what did I do to offend you?"
"You didn't provoke me, but I'm still annoyed!" The city lord glanced at him.
The thousand-year-old maid, at this moment, started acting like a little girl, throwing a tantrum.
What can Zhang Lin say?
Of course I'll forgive her!
We can't exactly fight her, can we? She's covered in metal now!
It's hard to make a move...
Just wait, until the day you turn back into a human... I'll change my surname to yours if I don't turn you into a cream puff!
Zhang Lin snorted inwardly, but asked with a calm expression, "How's the situation with the beast tide?"
