Chapter 55 Execution - Attention All
The weak false god hides in the gaps between galaxies.
It knew its existence had been exposed, and that a higher-dimensional deity had glimpsed it.
The false god huddled up, slowly healing the burns he had sustained while empathizing with his believers.
It was because He couldn't resist the delicious temptation and almost used the believer's body to come in person—fortunately, He realized in time that something was wrong—that pure divine power was too hot to be obtained by Him at that moment.
It's outrageous! He exhausted so much divine power, yet he still couldn't get it. There must have been a problem somewhere along the way.
But it doesn't matter. Once He creates the next civilization that draws upon divine power, He will eventually reap the delicious rewards.
Perhaps she won't live that long... We can just take advantage of her impending death and resolve this matter.
……etc.
During the repair process, the false god suddenly discovered that the so-called burn was not just pain, but also a brand that had been left on him without his knowledge.
—This is bad!
The unique markings immediately alerted the false god, who fled at the first sign of trouble.
It tried to escape through a cosmic rift, but after taking a few steps, it found itself surrounded and attacked from both sides.
The enemy even dared to make a sound:
Where do you think you're going?
...It was that dessert, and another dessert that disappeared after it hit me.
Realizing that concealing himself was hopeless, the false god suddenly rushed towards the crevice. It wasn't that he was avoiding battle, but rather that his divine power was being heavily depleted, making it not a good time to reap the rewards.
But the two women had no intention of letting him go and actually launched an attack on him!
These two arrogant mortals were truly an eyesore, and the false god was aroused. He immediately began to extract the newly acquired supplies from the evolved beings, intending to unleash new divine power.
The jet-black, hard scales blended into the universe; concealment was the False God's greatest instinct—it seemed to disappear from Chu Jue's sight, but in fact, it remained in the same place.
The false god silently hides here, concealing all evidence of his existence.
The little desserts would surely be terrified by His vanishing magic, and then forget how to breathe. He would then seize the opportunity to obliterate them, using his immense divine power to crush them to death in his hand.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard an older mortal sneer, "Are you sick in the head?"
"They're not running away, they're just staying here and invisible?"
"I thought he had some skills, but all he does is run away and hide. What a disgrace."
The false god was greatly alarmed. She was just a human; how could she know His characteristics!
The blurry woman in the ball of light said, "Your dispersed form in the Empire has already been shattered by me."
...An empire? The name sounds so familiar.
The false god quickly retrieved from his vast memory—the Empire, the Twelve Star Systems, the star systems protected by the Mother Goddess!
It finally understood why the blurry ball of light looked so familiar to it—it wasn't the spiritual energy it had extracted, but pure mental energy!
Damn it, did she deliberately follow me here...?
In a flash, the false god's mindset shifted drastically. He had initially planned to expend divine power in an attack, but now his only thought was to flee. The Mother Goddess's favoritism and protection of every resident of the empire was something he had resented since birth.
Just because of the different genders, just because he carries genes that the Mother Goddess dislikes—excuses, excuses! The false god is full of resentment. When has a god ever cared about his own gender? A noble god is an existence that transcends gender theory.
But He insisted on acknowledging Himself as the Mother Goddess, and because He could not establish a close connection with the Mother Goddess, He was judged to be... something that had not yet become a god.
Why won't you bestow your divine power upon Him? As the Mother Goddess, you should be selfless!
But the great Mother Goddess is not a merciful one. Why does she display such blatant favoritism? Why—why should She bear these injustices?
Why should those divine powers, which should rightfully belong to Him, be given to those women?
Chu Jue sensed from its constantly changing expression that it might be thinking something cynical and rebellious.
"You must be very resentful, right?" she asked.
"..."
The false god's language was inherently encrypted, and Chu Jue couldn't understand what it was. However, its roar was exactly the same as that of the strange beast; from any perspective, they were the same thing.
"Born a defective product."
"...!"
The false god's rage was palpable, and its initial flight turned into an attack on Chu Jue. It was utterly reckless, its massive body charging with terrifying force. Chu Jue dodged, only to discover it was a feint, and turned back to continue his escape.
So this is what it looks like, utterly pathetic. Ji Linyuan even had time to applaud its performance: "That's interesting."
The raging false god charged forward.
"...!!"
Although I don't know what it's saying, it must be very vulgar.
Following the route the false god took in its escape, the two basically figured out where it had deployed its evolved forms. It traversed countless black holes, and Chu Jue had initially thought they would get separated during one of its journeys, but instead discovered that it possessed the ability to control its destination.
No wonder it can accurately deliver these things.
Perhaps this is its racial innate talent. Suitable for stealth, suitable for escape, with its own inherent positioning—a chosen, flawed thief, exclusive to exotic beasts.
Ji Linyuan had already made preparations for the entire journey and continued his pursuit without the slightest slackening.
After numerous jumps and meticulous calculations, exhausting countless efforts along the way, she finally deduced that her next destination should be her home planet—
Ji Linyuan nodded to Chu Jue, who understood.
The two appeared to be fighting one-on-one, but in reality, the designer reverted to his battle form the moment Chu Jue's mental power was restored.
At this moment, Chu Jue summoned the designer in her mental sea—the familiarity of this long-lost combat form made her feel exhilarated.
A dazzling black and white light flashed by, enveloping Ji Linyuan and Chu Jue together.
"Xiang Cang is with you." Ji Linyuan touched the combat pod he hadn't touched in eight years, and his spirits were high. He couldn't wait to jump to his destination.
Designer: 【I miss you too. ^^】
"Good boy."
The designer, known as the "good kid," merged with Chu Jue, their mental energy communicating throughout the mecha. Chu Jue, closely following the pseudo-god's movements, used the teleportation to the new coordinates to successfully hear the coordinate notifications updated simultaneously by the designer and Xiang Cang—
[Target confirmed: Galaxy No. 12, far away.]
In the blink of an eye, Chu Jue unleashed his killing spree.
Now that her objective had been achieved, she had no time for a boring chase with the false god. This was an enemy she had to eliminate before returning home.
A dazzling spiritual force, as striking as a galaxy, rapidly surrounded and attacked the false god.
Completely unprepared, it was utterly shocked by the pure spiritual power. This power enveloped it like the presence of a mother goddess—what awe-inspiring divine power this was!
The false god, who had been fleeing in panic, finally noticed that the halo that had previously made it unable to see Chu Jue had dissipated, and in its place was a gigantic radiance magnified tens of thousands of times behind Chu Jue, as magnificent and grand as the divine power that the Mother Goddess bestowed upon her with a planet.
"...!"
The overwhelming aura of the Mother Goddess washed over me, indescribable under the crushing divine power. In an instant, it felt as if I had returned to the beginning of life.
From whom was it born, and where is it slowly heading? Its heart seems never to be satisfied; its insatiable desires arise from nowhere, yet because its abilities do not match them, it loses even more.
By chance, the false god discovered the difference between humans and gods. In some star systems, humanity has succumbed to a matriarchal system—who created men? Naturally, women, yet they don't perceive themselves as women.
The false gods, however, thought this was perfect, as it coincided with the ignorance of the children. The rule of lies gave birth to faith, and faith nourished it, giving birth to new life.
Yet all of this was still detected.
The divine instincts that it desired, briefly obtained, but could never achieve "creation" constantly humiliated it, reminding it of what it could never accomplish until its death.
The false god roared as spiritual power and the universe dissolved, yet like a spiritual imprint, from that moment on, it was destined to follow an ending determined by its genes.
Its world became barren, just like its life spent stealing. Under the divine purge, it gradually lost all thought, turning into empty nothingness.
Between life and death.
The deity's agent carried out the execution.
It let out its final lament, harboring evil thoughts about the divine power it could not possess, and committed acts of theft that disrupted the order—its resentment, jealousy, and greed were all subjected to a slow and agonizing execution.
Each black scale was violently ripped off, revealing a dazzling crystalline core beneath the blurred flesh. The designer left no room for mercy, tearing it apart with a vengeance, reaching straight for the core that connected it to its life force.
The crystal core was instantly crushed.
The scales suddenly lost their color, withering and turning gray.
It collapsed and died, its body riddled with bloody holes, and brownish-red mucus gradually spread all over its body.
The false gods and the strange beasts died indistinguishably.
The designer was very dedicated and updated two system notifications in a timely manner.
[Main Quest (Final Stage) Required Merit Points: 1,000,000/1,000,000]
[The main (final) quest has been detected as complete. The system is verifying this; please wait patiently.]
Ji Linyuan, always eager for a good show, commented from the audience, "You haven't been practicing lately, so I think you're a bit rusty."
Chu Jue: ...
Okay, since she really kept her promise when the main storyline was completed, then whatever she says is right.
But as she continued practicing, she couldn't help but remark, "After eight years without training, someone should be able to revitalize their skills."
She used her mental power to completely destroy the false god's corpse.
The crystal core dissolved into her sea of consciousness, and Chu Jue felt that his mental strength level had increased again.
...Perhaps, she became the empire's only SS-rank.
The two exchanged verbal blows, but thankfully they didn't actually start fighting. The designer was unaffected and began sailing immediately after the battle ended.
—In just three minutes, the two people and two planes arrived at their destination.
They both saw the final update notification from the system.
[Main quest rewards have been distributed: You have returned to the Empire]
Designer: [A complex emotion that is difficult to identify has been detected, but please don't worry.]
She will continue to tell corny jokes to everyone.
"Finally back." Ji Linyuan breathed a long sigh of relief. She had finally returned to her home planet, which she had been away from for so long.
"Hmm." Chu Jue received the barrage of messages from Ji Xiangxing and the Third Princess, and replied selectively.
【I'm back. 】
But her journey is not over yet—
[Attention all personnel! Immediately annihilate all interstellar beasts and any defective ones.]

Author's note: I feel it's very ceremonial to stop here, so I'll consider this the end of the main story [kiss]. I'll continue updating the extra chapters daily, probably another six or seven chapters.
