Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

Chapter 28 Deep Space, Unstoppable!

Chapter 339 Deep Space, Unstoppable! (5000, Second Update for the New Year~)

Rushing across the lunar surface, Su Zhou's speed was undeniably rapid. He was nearly nine hundred kilometers in a straight line from the alien spacecraft ruins on the far side of the moon, but in the absence of an atmosphere, his maximum cruising speed could even reach three thousand seven hundred meters per second—meaning he could directly reach the location of the spacecraft ruins in less than five minutes.

But in reality, the spacecraft ruins were not just a single patch. After flying for about a minute, Su Zhou could already see scattered, strange metal protrusions on the lunar surface, as well as peculiar man-made structures mostly embedded in the lunar crust—these were the remains of some alien spacecraft.

A considerable portion of the alien spacecraft that came to the solar system in the past did not seem to have been shot down by the Immortals and Gods, but rather seemed to have suffered some accident and crashed somewhere, before being concentrated and thrown here by the Immortals and Gods. But Su Zhou also saw that some of the spacecraft, which looked like mice, were clearly shot down by some powerful Daoist magic, with flickering, sharp metal-attribute spiritual energy still flashing on the outer sides of the huge hulls.

"It's a pity. If I had brought a live broadcast camera this time, just giving a quick explanation would probably gain me millions of followers."

Thinking this, Su Zhou's energy remained focused on the huge spiritual beacon ahead. He was already very close, and in about a minute, he could reach the vicinity of the spacecraft that was releasing the spiritual beacon.

But, in the next instant, more than thirty silver streams of light from different directions shot straight at Su Zhou, carrying familiar impacts and high heat.

Although Su Zhou's burst of spiritual power instantly deflected or even absorbed all the silver light streams, his pace was undoubtedly hindered.

"Hmm... I sense a more obvious concentration of resentment."

Saying this, Su Zhou lowered his head, one hand pressed on the hilt of the Extinction Blade, coldly overlooking the ground: "As expected, your main body here is much more valuable... Destroying most of your physical body here, even if other bodies are still alive, will turn you into an idiot, right?"

"Then come and try." The Deep Space Caller's voice still echoed from all directions, its soul communication always carrying a provocative tone: "If you can do it."

Anyone can brag, but what matters is how well they do it. Su Zhou has always been a practical person. This was evident from when he was in elementary school and would ask Qiming for money to buy chicken and duck blood at the market to draw blood sacrifice arrays in an attempt to summon demons, although regrettably, he was unsuccessful, the good habit of hands-on practice remained in his body.

Falling like a meteor, Su Zhou aimed at the area where the resentment was most concentrated, that is, the area with the greatest soul density of the Deep Space Caller, and drew his blade to strike—after the soul is erased, even if the body is not dead, it is meaningless. Not everyone is like him, with a True Spirit that cannot die and a soul that recovers quickly.

The enormous fiery blade light, like a half-moon, slashed over. Facing Su Zhou's aggressive strike, the Deep Space Caller's huge, amorphous body beneath the ground stretched out a tentacle and grabbed a smaller alien spacecraft wreck from the side to block itself.

Su Zhou naturally didn't hold back at all. The sharp blade light struck the decaying spacecraft wreck from thousands of years ago from a distance—but even so, he felt an extremely sluggish sensation before he managed to cut the spacecraft wreck in two, allowing the Deep Space Caller's tentacle to avoid the blow.

This immediately surprised Su Zhou—his blade, with a temperature exceeding six thousand degrees Celsius and a thousand tons of impact force condensed on its thin edge, couldn't easily cut it open, giving the enemy a chance to escape.

This was enough to prove the incredible strength of the alien spacecraft's materials. If Earth's civilization could reverse engineer the material's formula, it could truly be said to be taking a big step towards the space age.

However, the Deep Space Caller was even more surprised than Su Zhou: "You don't care at all?!"

—Care about what? Su Zhou didn't understand for a moment, but soon, he realized that the other party was saying that he didn't care about the integrity of the alien spacecraft wreck at all, cutting it in two with one slash.

"How are you any different from me?"

The inhuman monster didn't expect Su Zhou to be so decisive. It had thought that Su Zhou's purpose in coming to the far side of the moon was to explore the spacecraft ruins, and that he would be a little cautious when facing the alien spacecraft wrecks, trying not to cause large-scale destruction—who knew that Su Zhou swung his blade without the slightest hesitation, nipping its intention to counterattack in the bud.

But soon, the Deep Space Caller laughed: "As expected, you are very similar to me. You are also a guy who doesn't care about anything in this world except yourself... I know very well that you went all over Southeast Asia to find people to abuse and kill in order to satisfy your desire to kill."

"When I heard this news, I felt very surprised—how could such a hideous monster hide in a flock of sheep? Su Zhou, how do you endure not tearing the fragile mortals around you to shreds?"

"You really need to get your brain replaced. How am I similar to you?"

Hearing these inexplicable words, Su Zhou immediately said strangely: "You are a bug in the gutter, a freak in the dark—and I am the Captain of the Special Operations Force of the Zheng Nation Security Bureau, an enforcement officer specially approved by the Thirty-Six Saints Central Committee, and the Minister of the New World Exploration Department."

"I satisfy my desire to kill? The United International Organization has granted me the right to enforce the law and even execute dangerous criminals on the spot in all one hundred plus member states—I'm telling you the truth, I have law enforcement power. What I do is a one-stop shop for legitimate arrest, trial, and execution, which is reasonable, legal, and justified."

"As for you, John Harrison, you are a typical 'Transcendent Disease' patient. You think you can disregard human life just because you have some power? Looking at you, it seems like you even plan to be a traitor to humanity..."

In the middle of speaking, Su Zhou suddenly took action. He had already grasped the area with the greatest soul density of the Deep Space Caller through its previous soul communication.

Even with the Deep Space Caller's eyesight, it could only see Su Zhou's figure flash, and then, a force like a missile explosion burst open on the lunar surface, and all the rocks on the surface were suddenly blown away, exposing a part of its body hidden underground.

It was still a huge, silver colloid monster with a crystallized outer layer. Facing Su Zhou's sudden attack, it roared and stretched out a tentacle more than ten meters in diameter and seventy meters long, lashing towards Su Zhou at hypersonic speed. If this strike hit, even a small hill would collapse directly.

But Su Zhou just drew his blade again and slashed. A golden blade light that split the sky flashed, and with a crack, the power that could destroy cities and break armies directly severed the tentacle.

At this time, the Deep Space Caller finally realized that something was wrong. Just like Su Zhou had suddenly realized that it was consuming its own power, the Deep Space Caller also noticed that Su Zhou's power was not being consumed at all. Not only was he constantly maintaining his full strength, but he was also constantly getting stronger as he fought!

"The amorphous form, although its vitality is tenacious, is根本 impossible to defeat Su Zhou, it will only be slaughtered by the other party like pigs and dogs."

Realizing this, the Deep Space Caller immediately changed its thinking. Su Zhou also sensed that a vast energy was coming from all the underground areas within a radius of dozens of kilometers, and then rapidly condensing in one place!

"It's time to show my true strength to deal with you, Su Zhou."

The earth trembled and collapsed. Accompanied by the collapse of one crater after another, countless dust and mist rose up. A huge monster like a fortress began to slowly rise from the ground—it was a behemoth that resembled a snail, carrying a huge silver shell on its back, wriggling forward.

This huge silver alien snail was more than a hundred meters high. If its huge size were on Earth, even a Dominator-level powerhouse would not be able to maintain it for a long time, and it might even collapse directly—this was the ultimate combat form that could only be used on the moon!

Su Zhou watched this snail in shock.

Not because of its size—if it was just its size, this snail was far smaller than the former Water God, which was an ultimate behemoth nearly a kilometer long. Didn't he still kill it?

What really shocked Su Zhou was the faces of happy and blissful people that appeared on the shell of this beast... The silver amorphous being could transform into any form, but the hundreds or thousands, or even countless, faces were not transformed by it, but were truly living human faces.

Su Zhou's Evil-Devouring Demon Lord and the supernatural power of No Thought even sensed the real souls and clear voices behind those happy faces.

"Praise, praise you... Praise you, John, my God..."

"Glory be to you, may you be strong, dignified, holy, and immaculate..."

"You are my joy, my happiness..."

Su Zhou could hear that the voices of these souls were filled with heartfelt joy and praise. They were sincerely praising the Deep Space Caller without any falsehood—but not all of them. Su Zhou also saw that some faces had extremely painful and desperate expressions. Their expressions were struggling, and their voices were mostly wails and fear.

Su Zhou noticed that some of the painful faces were very familiar to him—they were the faces of the researchers at the Antarctic research station, including Dr. Mansell and Ms. Elizabeth, as well as some researchers from Zheng Nation. They were also in pain, and the voices in their hearts were shouting "Quick, kill me!" and many meaningless screams.

But, whether it was praise or screams, what all the faces were thinking in their hearts was actually one thing.

Praise, or curses.

They were all single-mindedly repeating the name 'John Harrison'.

—So that's it!

And in Su Zhou's heart, a series of information was connecting.

—The monster 'Amorphous One' that the Deep Space Caller initially summoned devoured seventeen hundred people in its hometown, causing the American Federation to have no choice but to use nuclear bombs to bombard it...

—All the personnel at the Antarctic research station died, but no bodies were found, only clothes were left behind...

—The Deep Space Caller probably has the ability to 'increase its power by using the emotions or attention of others'...

"You... you keep all the people you devoured in the amorphous being, and then let them praise you forever, to increase your power?"

"This is your divine power... No wonder you said that I am similar to you..."

Floating in the high sky, holding the Extinction Blade tightly in his hand, Su Zhou looked down at the huge snail that was constantly wriggling on the ground, adapting to its form. He said in a low voice, his tone filled with disbelief: "Pain is one thing, but praise... How did you do it?"

"Simple, isn't it?"

And the Deep Space Caller, whose soul communication was several times louder than before, sounded with a sharp noise. He laughed loudly: "Their physical hormone secretions, all the information that their souls can sense, are provided by me. If I want them to be happy, I can send them to heaven. If I want them to be in pain, I can send them to hell!"

"Don't overestimate the will of ordinary people. Their joys, sorrows, and happiness are all slaves of hormones. As long as I want, they can only look at me, and they only need to look at me—I am their God, and they only need to spread my name to live forever!"

At this moment, the Deep Space Caller's power was increasing again and again, even exceeding Su Zhou's limit spiritual power value, reaching a level comparable to Zhou Buyi, or even much larger than Zhou Buyi!

—Sincere heart for wishes, confused heart for prayers, happy heart for blessings, fearful heart for requests, determined heart for oaths, resentful heart for curses, angry heart for disputes.

The human heart originally possessed great power. It could drive spiritual power, affect the world, and create miracles.

Su Zhou's divine powers, which were related to resentment and wish power, were the specific manifestations of 'the power of the heart'. However, the Deep Space Caller's power was even broader. Under certain conditions and within a certain range, it could even absorb all kinds of emotions generated because of it, and briefly increase its cultivation and cultivation speed!

Its divine power was like a huge vortex that could draw all the power of the heart into it and turn it into power!

It was no wonder that the Deep Space Caller repeatedly said that Su Zhou was similar to it—it was indeed true that they both had divine powers that could accelerate their cultivation by relying on the power of the heart, but the conditions and restrictions were different. The difference was that the Deep Space Caller had accumulated decades of power. If it hadn't been for the spiritual energy being cut off, plus the continuous obstruction and suppression from the American Federation, it would probably have become a true demon that wreaked havoc on the world long ago.

Now, the Deep Space Caller's power had exploded, and it could truly be said to be unstoppable!

"Hoo—"

Facing Su Zhou, who had suddenly fallen silent for some reason, the Deep Space Caller didn't have the slightest intention of waiting. It slightly raised its huge shell, and the silver alien colloid creature, while protecting itself tightly, simulated a 'mouth', and then blew a 'breath' at Su Zhou.

A dazzling white light flashed, which was superheated steam that had been heated to thousands of degrees. Super-high-speed solid micro-particles collided with each other in this rapid gale, even generating dazzling lightning. This terrifying breath, which was enough to sweep away an entire armored group and destroy half a city, hit Su Zhou, and the force that could destroy mountains and crack peaks carried him away into the distance in a deafening explosion.

In just an instant, with this one breath, Su Zhou was directly blown away by the Deep Space Caller for dozens of kilometers, and even almost approached the near-lunar orbit, until he slowly stopped after more than ten seconds, staying in mid-air.

But the Deep Space Caller, who had taken the lead and gained an advantage in the battle with Su Zhou for the first time, did not feel excited about this. It obviously realized that Su Zhou had not even resisted just now, but had simply relied on his body to withstand the attack—but soon, it realized why.

Then, it felt ridiculous, felt incredible, and then laughed loudly.

"Hahahaha, could it be that you would be restrained because of the people on my back, and even forget to defend for a moment?"

The huge silver snail shook violently. The Deep Space Caller obviously found it unbelievable: "Even those people in the American Federation would not hesitate to act in this situation, destroying my 'believers'—they don't even seek to kill me, but simply kill my believers to prevent my power from expanding due to the increase in believers... Of course, they also know that this is a scandal. Killing innocent victims is indeed not very glorious, so the American Federation has never been willing to share information about me."

"But Su Zhou, are you so naive? If you can't attack me just because of these mortals, then you will definitely die here today and become my collection!"

And dozens of kilometers away, Su Zhou, who had been directly blown away by the Deep Space Caller, frowned and stayed where he was.

His body had not been damaged by the previous superheated breath, because his own breath temperature was much higher than the opponent's. How could he not withstand that little temperature?

But Su Zhou did not carry out more effective defense. He was indeed deep in thought.

Because, he really was so 'naive'.

"Although it is extremely difficult, and it can even be said to be impossible... but, how can I kill the Deep Space Caller while ensuring the safety of those victims?"

"No, killing the Deep Space Caller is not a difficult problem at all. Although its strength is strong, it has not reached the point where I can't solve it... This guy has already undergone a second transformation, but I haven't even used my true form—the only problem is how to ensure the safety of those victims. I can be sure that their souls are maintaining activity, but their bodies have been eroded by the amorphous being."

Thinking like this, Su Zhou let out a long breath. He still couldn't fully understand the Deep Space Caller's madness, but thinking about it carefully, it was not surprising—a monster who no longer regarded ordinary people as human beings, and even wanted to be a traitor to humanity, inviting aliens, could do anything.

Two seconds later.

Su Zhou raised his head, looked into the distance, and his eyes gradually brightened: "There is indeed a way to achieve both goals, to kill the Deep Space Caller and ensure that the victims are still alive."

If he thought of it, he would do it.

So in the next instant, the Deep Space Caller sensed that an extremely violent killing intent, like a shocking tsunami, was surging towards it.

This time, it was no longer cleaning up evildoers.

Instead, it was hunting prey.

Second update, I can finish this plot today.
