Three seconds later, at the point where he had landed not long ago, scarlet heat rays burned the air and penetrated straight through the thick layer of soil, leaving mottled scars.

Standing on the treetop, Qi Guang grasped the branch with one hand and looked into the distance with a serious look.

Strictly speaking, this wasn't the first time he had to deal with a "disaster" level situation.

You know, as the director of the Countermeasures Bureau, although he is a deputy, Qi Guang has some experience in dealing with this kind of high-risk alien species.

Of course, it was impossible for him to deal with several "disaster" levels like Wang Weizhen did without losing. That was no longer a human realm. Sometimes Qi Guang even doubted whether Wang Weizhen was a monster in human skin.

If so, then it must be a stupid, stubborn, and inflexible old tree demon.

In short, no matter what, although Qi Guang is not as experienced as Wang Weizheng in dealing with "disaster" level alien species, he can also be said to have made some gains.

Apart from anything else, the Balder under his feet was the one he had to deal with personally. As the god of light in Norse mythology, Balder was different from the old man El whom Bering and his friends had met in the arcade. Balder was a real god of force. In terms of combat skills, he was definitely at the "disaster" level.

Therefore, Qi Guang felt that the current "disaster" was probably similar to the time he dealt with Balder before.

Even though I went through a lot of hardships and almost lost my life that time, but no matter what, I was the one who had the last laugh.

And this time, it could only be him! With this confidence, Qi Guang quietly hid among the leaves, restraining his breath.

At the same time, his eyes were fixed on the burly man in the distance, observing everything about him, trying to find the other's "weaknesses" or "abnormalities" through his own eyes.

First of all, this strong man is very tall, half a body taller than the prophet, and a preliminary estimate is almost two meters. In addition, the red "spider legs" behind him seem to hide something special, with a faint glow of fiery light at the joints, and judging from the previous blow that cut off the mountaintop, the spider legs probably release a very high-volume energy reaction...

However, before releasing the heat rays, there was an obvious red light flashing at the key points of the tentacles behind the sturdy man.

From this perspective, perhaps those flashing red nodes in his spider legs are the key to his energy storage and reaction?

If we destroy those nodes, wouldn't it be like breaking the barrel of a cannon and directly silence that guy's heat ray?

Thinking this in his mind, Qi Guang squinted his eyes and looked at the red cores in the distance that were flowing with scarlet light spots.

"I need to find the right opportunity. After all, from what I have just observed, I cannot resist those heat rays," Qi Guang thought to himself. "Should I quickly create a few traps nearby, or use the terrain and bait to set a trap? Or should I simply lead him to a more open area and keep fighting until his energy or strength is exhausted?"

Several plans collided in his mind. At this moment, Qi Guang's brain was working rapidly, and he almost returned to the sensitivity he had before he became the deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau.

'He clearly knows me but he's not afraid of Balder who will be released after killing me. Is he able to deal with it or is he just a lunatic? If he can deal with it, is it because of his strong strength or attribute restraint? If it's the former, then it means that we need to rely on high mobility and numbers to deplete the opponent's combat power. If it's the latter, then his characteristics will probably be the key to breaking the situation...'

Just when Qi Guang was deep in thought.

In the distance, the sturdy man suddenly smiled and said, "Hide and seek? Interesting."

"My favorite is hide-and-seek," he said. "You know, I used to be a pretty good player at that game. Oh, and there's a song, too. Let me see."

After recalling for a moment, the strong man hummed a song that was totally inconsistent with his body size: "Kageme, Kagome."

"When will the bird in the cage fly out?"

As he hummed, his voice gradually became gentle and soft, as if something was occupying his body, whispering a ballad in a strange tone through his mouth.

Listening to this nursery rhyme, Qi Guang felt vaguely uncomfortable.

Was it a psychic attack? No, it wasn't.

Qi Guang clearly felt that it was not the impact conveyed by the song.

But something... more secretive!

He looked up at the sky.

Soon, he saw sparkling dust falling from the clouds in the bright night sky, like the first light snow in winter. The snowflakes were crystal clear like glass, reflecting a beautiful luster in the air.

What kind of dust is this? Qi Guang subconsciously picked up the dust and placed it on his fingertips to observe it for a moment.

However, even after careful observation, he could not detect anything unusual.

But Qi Guang instinctively felt that there was definitely something wrong with this "dust".

Soon, the reaction of the sturdy man below confirmed his guess.

The man who was as strong as an iron tower looked up at the sky. After a moment of silence, he sneezed violently at the moon: "Ahem!"

The sneeze was earth-shaking, and white bubbles of snot seeped out of the strong man's nostrils, spraying out like thick and long sticks, falling to the ground and pressing down the grass leaves.

Waking up and blowing his nose, the sturdy man said in a muffled voice, "It's really troublesome. Hermes' tricks are really disgusting in terms of playing with the mind. They are like insects that can't be shaken off."

"This kind of thing awakens my 'core'," he sighed. "When I see that bastard Lester next time, I will definitely twist his nose off and put it on his ass."

After stretching his muscles a bit, the sturdy man turned his gaze and said, "I wanted to play around a bit, but now, I don't know which guy was so impatient to release all the 'dust'. The key is that my core is not stable enough, and this thing that can activate the spirit and burn consciousness will make him restless."

"So although it's a pity, I have to make it quick now, kid."

As he spoke, the sturdy man glanced towards a forest.

The next second, the hot torrent gathered again on the spider legs behind him, like a surging tide rushing to the pass, accumulating wild waves in front of the narrow gap, just waiting for the energy to gather! Looking at the spider legs aimed at him, Qi Guang's warning sign rose again! He didn't even bother to think about how the other party could detect his position in this wide and dense forest. He suddenly tapped his toes on the branches and flew towards the strong man!

At the same time, he quickly pulled out the standard long sword issued by the Countermeasures Bureau from behind him. The sword slid out of the sheath with a sharp light, slashing out a snow-white cold light in the air. From a distance, it would even make people think that a new moon is rising!

With a dangerous sidestep to avoid the roaring red torrent, Qi Guang followed the scarlet light and moved forward, holding the hilt tightly with five fingers, tapping his toes lightly, and sliding down to chop! The wind was whistling, and the steel-gold blade forged by thousands of hammers was so sharp that it seemed to cut through the soft moonlight, and it cut a blank in the air in front of it like cutting water, and chopped down brazenly between the rushing waves!

It all happened so fast.

Balder's existence gave Qi Guang a speed that was almost as fast as a flash, because the speed of "light" itself was the ceiling of speed. Although Qi Guang could not reach the speed of light due to his fragile human body, the speed he burst out in an instant could still make ordinary aliens unable to react in time.

Relying on his speed, Qi Guang almost never encountered an enemy that required a long-term fight.

Even before the enemy could react, Qi Guang had already chopped off its head! However, the guy in front of him was not a simple alien.

Not to mention its uniqueness, the level of "disaster" alone has determined that his strength is definitely not comparable to those ordinary guys.

Although the sturdy man did not fully realize all this, he still relied on his combat instinct and prediction, and hurriedly moved aside, preventing the long sword flashing with cold light from cutting half of his body, but only tearing the tight uniform on his body.

However, this is just the beginning.

After the sword was avoided, Qi Guang twisted his wrist slightly and quickly changed his posture, tapping the sword blade on the ground. He then took advantage of the momentum of the impact to leap up, hovering in the air, and his right foot turned into a whip kick, heading fiercely towards the sturdy man's face!

The sword was just the "appetizer", and the "main course" was Qi Guang's leg! The white light exploded suddenly, disturbing the opponent's vision, and suddenly raised the temperature, and also wrapped in deadly rays. All kinds of extremely dangerous elements were superimposed together, and Qi Guang kicked it fiercely in front of the strong man! In the eyes of outsiders, at this moment, the top of the mountain was like a bright and dazzling sun rising!

The light lasted for about ten seconds.

Ten seconds later, the bright white light gradually faded away, and everything around regained its color.

After the white light dissipated, Qi Guang was standing far away from the burly man with half of his body covered in blood.

His clothes were torn and his body was injured, and he looked pretty terrible.

His previous attack was completely ineffective. Instead, he was captured and attacked by the strong man because of his reaction.

However, Qi Guang was completely unaware of this. He just looked at the man in the distance, and for the first time, an emotion similar to "surprise" appeared in his eyes.

"How is it possible..." He stared at the burly man in the distance, "You actually..."

At this moment, the strong man's clothes had been torn.

On his open chest, Qi Guang clearly saw the pattern that was branded on his chest by the burly man.

It was a bright red spider.

The long spider legs spread out like wings that covered the sky. They were like pillars supporting the sky, breaking through some large building and standing tall, like a king sitting high on a throne, holding up a sword and a strong bow.

Feeling Qi Guang's gaze, the sturdy man smiled and gently patted his shoulder: "You look surprised?"

"Why are you so surprised? Isn't this something you have seen before?" The strong man said with a smile, "Or did you realize something after seeing this mark?"

"Anyway, you're done, kid."

The sturdy man grinned: "I really want to see what the so-called 'Twilight of the Gods' is like."

"I think it should be very interesting."

The words fell.

The sturdy man did not use heat rays this time. Instead, he mobilized his muscles and bulged his muscles, expanding his already tall and strong body to a level almost like a "giant".

In just less than a second, the guy who could barely be called a human being instantly turned into a pure monster!

Then, the monster rushed towards Qi Guang at a speed no less than Qi Guang!

Countless strange spider legs stretched out from his body, like a bright red jungle, grabbing towards Qi Guang.

Each spider leg was filled with tremendous power. Just by facing these twisted opposite sexes, Qi Guang felt the power gap! Feeling the whistling wind coming from the other side, Qi Guang covered his chest and barely jumped two steps to the side.

"No," he glanced at his feet, "the injury just now was too serious, coupled with this strange dust, it caused Balder to wake up early."

If Balder wakes up, it will not be as convenient for me to use his power as it is now.

The God of Light would not care about his life or death. To him, it would be better if he died. Anyway, the strong man and Balder were both aliens, while he was a human. If Balder really had to choose, he would definitely not choose him.

In addition, his relationship with him was not very good before. If Balder really woke up, he would probably trip him up the first time.

Damn it.

Qi Guang narrowly avoided the sturdy man's grasp and slid through the gap under the man's arm. He lowered his center of gravity and circumvented the monster's huge body like a snake.

However, it is obvious that Qi Guang's speed is getting slower and slower.

At the same time, under Qi Guang's feet, the gods who had disappeared also vaguely revealed their true appearance...

When the whistling fist wind brushed past his face, Qi Guang felt for the first time that "death" was so close to him.

He rarely felt this way.

Even though he didn't have many days left to live after sealing the God of Light in his body, at least during this period of time, Qi Guang lived much better than the other people in the Countermeasures Bureau.

Because of the fear of Balder in his body, almost no one would point the finger at him, for fear that releasing that crazy god would once again trigger the "Twilight of the Gods" where heaven and earth collide.

However, now, Qi Guang truly experienced the "death" that he had personally experienced before sealing Balder.

This feeling is strangely familiar, so familiar that it's even a little weird.

Feeling the wind blowing by, Qi Guang felt his mind was blank.

He even thought back to several years ago, when he was not yet the deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau, and had not even sealed Balder in his body.

Many people died in order to deal with this crazy god, but he survived because of luck and calmness, and successfully sacrificed himself to completely seal the guy called "god" but actually a monster.

This is not an easy thing to do.

Qi Guang was actually quite afraid of pain, but whether it was when he was sealing the gods or when he forced the gods to sleep and scratched the soles of his feet, it hurt so much that he wanted to grimace.

But there was no other way. Some things had to be done by oneself. Otherwise, sitting in such a position, wouldn't it be just a vain job? Qi Guang hated corrupt bureaucrats when he was a child, so when he became a bureaucrat, he always did things himself, even when negotiating with the man who called himself a "prophet". Although he always cursed, he took the initiative to do it.

Now it seems that I am a little too nagging in my daily life.

It was rare that Qi Guang had a lot of things in his mind.

He found it funny to think that he would die not far from home, on the Yanxia Mountain which he had climbed as a child.

What's even funnier is that after his death, Balder will climb up from his own body and transform into something even more terrifying than the "disaster", directly igniting everything and letting "Dusk" end everything.

The first place He ended was the area near Yanxia Mountain and His own home.

Really interesting.

With such thoughts in mind, Qi Guang felt a chill in his heart.

Balder could no longer suppress his awakening, and now he was disrupting Qi Guang's senses, making it impossible for him to fight against that monster-like guy.

Just the previous contact made Qi Guang certain that it was not a simple "disaster".

If "disasters" can be divided into different levels, then that guy is definitely the emperor among them.

Even Honglian is far inferior to that guy. Even if Balder crawled out of his body, he might not be able to deal with this guy.

The monster has only shown a part of his power so far. Qi Guang can be sure that there must be even more powerful and majestic power hidden in his body.

You know, surging energy can not only act as heat rays, but also as something... even more terrifying!

Once he thought of this, Qi Guang felt empty.

He actually has a chance of winning, but it takes time.

And now, what I lack most is time.

So be it, Qi Guang thought dejectedly.

He had more or less had enough.

But the next second.

A dark shadow suddenly slammed into the monster from behind. The sturdy man was not aware of it for a moment, and only hurriedly returned to defend when the shadow got in front of him. He let go of Qi Guang with both hands and grabbed behind him.

After catching the guy, he tore him into two halves with just one force!

However, the guy didn't "die".

In other words, it actually has no concept of "death".

Not long after the sturdy man tore at the black shadow, a hand suddenly stretched out from the dense forest, picked up Qi Guang and ran away!

That person's aura was hidden so well, much better than that of an outsider like Qi Guang. Even Qi Guang and the strong man didn't realize that there was a person right next to them!

Turning his head to look at Qi Guang who had been carried away, the sturdy man smiled.

"Interesting," he said, stroking his bald head, "I can actually see that boy here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward, waved his hand casually, and the strong wind he created shattered the branches nearby.

"Heading this way...?" he muttered to himself, "Let's catch up and see."

"I also want to know if the guy who claims he won't die really won't die."
