Chapter 10 The Love-Brained God 10: Slaying the Gods

The phoenix weeps blood, its pain is extraordinary.

The diva was enveloped in immense despair. She knelt on the ground, tears of blood streaming down her face, mingling with the ashes in her hands.

A powerful resentment erupted from her body. The Empress suddenly raised her head, and a mournful cry echoed through the sky. She transformed into her true form as a phoenix, her life force turning into raging flames. Orange-red flames enveloped her massive body, and her bloodshot eyes stared intently at Qi Wang.

"Although I can't do anything to you, you killed my son, and I won't let this go. I'll make you pay with your blood."

Before she finished speaking, her enormous body crashed through the roof, and the fiery phoenix soared into the sky, spreading its wings.

She stared intently at the village below, and thinking of how her son had perished here, the Empress could no longer suppress her rage.

She wanted all these people to be buried with her son.

The diva, filled with overwhelming resentment, exuded an aura of destruction; her son's death had driven her completely mad.

What do the common people and the world have to do with her? Her son is dead, so why are these ant-like humans still alive?

The Empress knew she couldn't kill Qi Wang with her own power, but if she chose to self-destruct her soul, even the Heavenly Emperor would be in trouble, let alone Qi Wang.

As for the power generated by her self-destruction, it will level the surrounding area for thousands of miles, turning the ground into scorched earth, and the fire that will burn fiercely for a hundred years after the phoenix's death...

None of this has anything to do with her.

She has protected these people for far too long. Now that her son is dead, her life has lost all meaning. Why should she care about these ants anymore?

Qi Wang originally thought that the Heavenly Empress would have some pity for the people who believed in her, but it was clear that the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. The Heavenly Prince was a beast who did not care about the people, so what kind of good person could the Heavenly Empress be?

The commotion caused by the diva was so great that the crimson flames illuminated the entire sky.

People were awakened by the commotion. They had no idea what was happening outside, but they huddled together and trembled under the terrifying aura and powerful pressure that was spreading.

The villagers of Peach Blossom Village, located at the heart of the storm, were deathly pale and too weak to even stand up.

However, Qin Hao is an exception among them.

His faith in Qi Wang had reached the point of blind delusion. Even though the outside world was filled with an overwhelming pressure that could destroy the heavens and the earth, and his face turned deathly pale under this terrifying pressure, he showed no fear whatsoever.

Qin Hao's parents held onto their agitated son tightly, their voices trembling as they said, "Hao, calm down, don't go out..."

"You'll die, Ah Hao, you'll definitely die..."

The Qin couple were terrified, but seeing their son recklessly trying to rush out, they overcame their fear and grabbed Qin Hao's arm tightly.

"Ah Hao, don't go out..."

Qin Hao shouted, "Father, Mother, what are you afraid of? We have the Dragon God with us! All the demons and monsters will be destroyed by the Dragon God!"

The Qin couple's faces turned deathly pale. Thinking of the enormous creature they had glimpsed through the window just moments before, the couple trembled violently, their hands shaking uncontrollably.

"The Dragon God is no match for it. It's a monster. The Dragon God only recently became a god; he can't possibly be its match..."

"Ah Hao, hurry and hide! Go hide in the cellar, there might still be a chance of survival..."

Unlike Qin Hao, the Qin couple did not blindly trust Qi Wang. Qi Wang, the new Dragon God, could indeed bring rain and had indeed performed many miracles.

But not long ago he was just an ordinary human. He was indeed powerful, but was he really powerful enough to deal with such a terrifying monster?

The couple had barely managed to survive this famine, and they dared not gamble on the possibility of Qi Wang's disappointment.

Knowing that Qin Hao was a staunch follower of Qi Wang, the two men were afraid that their son would run away and then return, so they used all their strength to hold him back and prevent him from running away.

"Ah Hao, calm down..."

"Ah Hao, be a good boy and listen to me..."

Qin Hao wanted to rush out to see the battle between his god and the demons, but he was also afraid that he would hurt his parents because he was too strong.

He could only move to the window and look up at the sky.

It was truly a gigantic monster, its body covered in ugly feathers, with raging flames erupting from its body, the heat distorting everything around it.

Qin Hao had never seen a monster of such a large size before.

Seeing its body engulfed in flames, Qin Hao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and turned around to shout to his parents.

"Father, Mother, I know, this monster must be the evil thing that has caused three years of drought in the human world!"

Yes, that must be it.

The fiery monster dried up all the rainwater. It wanted to kill everyone. It must be because the Dragon God sent down the rain, ruining its plot. That's why the monster was so angry and came to cause trouble for the Dragon God.

"What did you say?"

Qin's parents looked at Qin Hao blankly, not quite understanding what he meant.

Qin Hao's face was full of excitement as he shouted.

"Father, Mother, look at that monster! It's covered in flames. It must have dried up the earth and stolen the rain... The Dragon God sent rain for us, so it's causing trouble for him..."

"He is definitely no match for the Dragon God. If you don't believe me, look at all the flames it's spewing out, how come we don't feel hot at all?"

Upon hearing this, Qin's parents realized what was happening.

Yes, the monster's flames filled the entire sky; such a terrifying fire should have made them feel hot.

But now, they can't feel any warmth at all.

Their Dragon God is truly powerful.

The other villagers in Peach Blossom Village soon noticed this as well, and they all mustered their courage and went to the window to look out.

Huge, ugly monsters filled the sky; their size was so enormous that no one could recognize them as the auspicious phoenix.

When they discovered that His flames could not harm them, everyone's faith in Qi Wang reached another peak.

The Heavenly Queen let out a high-pitched cry, and just a second before she was about to self-destruct her divine soul, Qi Wang flew out of the house.

Dressed in black, Qi Wang still retained his human form, and the raging flames burning on the Empress's body illuminated his figure in every detail.

All the villagers of Peach Blossom Village saw the appearance of their Dragon God, and their eyes blazed with fervent light as they couldn't help but shout out.

"Long live the Dragon God!"

When the Heavenly Queen heard these ants below calling out to the Dragon God, she found it utterly ridiculous: "You, a heinous demon, dare to steal divine authority? You are not worthy!"

This villain ran rampant in the human world, deceiving the people, seizing the power of the Dragon God, and killing his own son. His evil deeds are too numerous to count. How can such a heinous demon be worthy of living in this world?

"In the name of the Heavenly Empress, I act on behalf of Heaven to punish you, you false god!"

After the Queen finished speaking, she recited a long string of obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations.

Qi Wang clearly felt that after she recited the incantation, a strange power suddenly appeared and was completely absorbed into her body.

The diva's power paused for a moment, then surged upwards at an astounding pace.

Under such high temperatures, even the air would be burned and distorted, let alone mortal humans.

The Empress had no intention of giving the villagers of Peach Blossom Village a way out. She only wanted to kill Qi Wang. As long as she could achieve this goal, nothing else mattered.

"Why does Your Majesty hate me so much? I didn't kill your son."

Qi Wang looked at the Empress, his tone still indifferent, revealing no emotional fluctuations.

"Have you forgotten? You killed your own son with your own hands."

If the Empress's murderous intent had been even slightly weaker, she would have been able to detect the trickery involved. Ye Hao originally had a glimmer of hope, but the Empress herself extinguished that hope.

The Empress was startled. She suddenly remembered the vivid phantoms she had seen in the illusion, who called her "Mother" and begged her to spare them...

"You're talking nonsense! You fiend, you can't possibly shake my mind! You killed my son, it was all your doing!"

“It’s you.”

"It wasn't me!"

"It's you."

"no!"

The Empress kept telling herself that Qi Wang was saying this to disturb her mind, but in the end, she couldn't help but recall what had happened before.

Did she really kill her own son?

Impossible, how could she not recognize her own son?

How could her son, who is kind, compassionate, and full of love, be the treacherous, vicious, and scheming fellow?

The phantom's soul is filthy and utterly despicable; no matter how convincingly it disguises itself, it is not his own son…

The diva suddenly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, all her distracting thoughts were gone.

Regardless, it was a foregone conclusion that her son would die because of Qi Wang. Since her son was dead, she would make Qi Wang pay with his life, and everything else was none of her business.

"I no longer care about right or wrong. Today is your death day. Even if I have to risk everything, I will rid the world of this demon!"

A high-pitched phoenix cry rang out, and the Heavenly Queen flapped her wings, swooping down on Qi Wang with an aura of world destruction.

Even if it costs her own life, she'll drag Qi Wang down to hell with her.

However, just as she was about to crash into Qi Wang, golden light shot into the sky. The light intertwined and formed a solid cage, enveloping the enormous phoenix within it.

Looking at the struggling Empress, Qi Wang shook his head.

"The villain dies from talking too much; this is truly an eternal truth."
