MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

“Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!”

The four swords kept trembling, but unfortunately, Aragon’s Divine Power had plummeted, so he could not use the Divine Swords to launch any effective attacks at all.

“…Do you want to kill a god?”

Li Yi raised the Ruler of God’s Staff and smiled at Aragon before bringing the weapon down cruelly.

[−30000000]

Aragon’s HP instantly dropped to the negatives, and he collapsed, dead.

A halo of golden light rose around Li Yi. Having killed the true Ruler of God, he had obtained a Hall of Fame achievement and a unique title, the only one of its kind.

That of “Pantheon Finisher”!

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh…”

The floating Ruler of God’s Armor began to bounce again agitatedly. Although it had not helped Aragon in battle, the God Armor still felt furious when it saw Aragon die.

Li Yi had long since sensed the intense hatred coming from the Ruler of God’s Armor, but he did not understand. The God Armor was clearly capable of helping Aragon, so why did it refrain?

“Is it over?”

“F*ck, why aren’t we gods yet?”

Li Yi and Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut did not become gods. They could only use Divine Power because Aersith had temporarily boosted their Attributes, allowing them temporary access to Divine Power.

As time passed, Li Yi’s and Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s power was gradually draining away.

At the foot of Mount Pantheon, billions of players watched the scene unfold. Li Yi had killed Aragon with his own hands!

However, who would become a god?

From the beginning up until now, ninety-five of the hundred participants had been eliminated, and only five were left.

The Mountain was annoyed. “Are you kidding me? Even if we can’t ascend, should he drop a few pieces of Divine Equipment at least?”

The Mountain’s words gave Qian’er an idea, and she walked toward the Fire Divine Sword that was trembling on the ground.

Qian’er went forth and picked it up. Instantly, there was an explosion of fire.

[Congratulations! Player Gongsun Chuqian has obtained the Fire Divine Sword!]

A rainbow-colored notification flashed across the World Channel!

They could get it just by picking it up?

The Mountain, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut and BB East’s eyes lit up. They ran toward the other three Divine Swords and tried to pick them up.

“Swoosh!”

Qian’er used Flash to teleport to the Wind Divine Sword, picking that one up as well. After that, she ran to the other two, picking up the remaining Divine Swords before The Mountain and the others could get there.

All four Divine Swords ended up in Qian’er’s hands…

The World Channel flashed with more notifications saying that Qian’er had obtained the other Divine Swords. In the meantime, The Mountain and the other two wore fascinating expressions that were half parts laughing, half parts crying, and all parts helpless.

“I was just half a step too late… Miss Qianqian, don’t be like that,” said The Mountain weakly.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier? The Divine Swords are locked, so I couldn’t give them to you now even if I wanted to.”

Qian’er chuckled, grinning like a little fox.

Li Yi just realized how crafty Big-Tits Qian could be.

The Mountain said, “That isn’t it, is it? We worked so hard, and that’s all we get as a reward?”

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh…”

The Ruler of God’s Armor was still floating in midair. Li Yi walked underneath it and raised the Ruler of God’s Staff at the God Armor.

“The Ruler of God’s Staff is in my hands. God Armor, will you come down and reunite with the God Staff?”

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh…”

The Ruler of God’s Armor bounced even faster now.

Just then, a deep voice spoke from behind Li Yi. “It won’t work. You’re not the Ruler of God, so you’ll never be able to wear the God Armor!”

Aragon, who had been dead, suddenly stood up from the ground, glaring at Li Yi with his green eyes.

He had resurrected on the spot with full health. The permanent damage Li Yi had dealt to him with the Ruler of God’s Staff was completely gone…

He was back at full HP.

Li Yi was stunned. “You…”

Carulla and the Evil God had once said that any damage dealt by the Ruler of God’s Staff was irreparable.

So what was this?

How did Aragon resurrect?

Could it be…

Was the permanent damage automatically undone upon death?

“Don’t look at me like that. I know what you’re thinking. Did you really think I lost to you? How could that be? I’m the Ruler of God, and I have the most powerful Divine Power of Creation. How could I possibly be killed by a mere mortal like you, when you aren’t even a god?”

Aragon’s hands glowed with divine light, and he shot it at the ground.

Five figures stood up. The replicas were back.

“I am the Ruler God of Creation, Omega. I can create anything in the world, and I can even create myself. You may only kill me once, but I can replicate myself infinitely!”

The five replicas stood before Aragon. Be it in their figures or their features, they looked identical to the originals.

The Mountain complimented them, “Tsk-tsk, that’s some impressive Divine Power of Creation. If I had it, I’d definitely make a few like Purple…”

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut glared at the Mountain and clenched her fist. The Mountain saw that and cleared his throat, “…I meant I’d make a few statues for me to idolize.”

“Hmph!” Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut turned her head away.

“Chrono Authority — Rewind!”

Although he continuously lost power, a moment’s reprieve had allowed Li Yi to recover some of his strength, so he could just barely use his Chrono Authority.

“Chrono Authority— Fast Forward!”

The Dark Wing replica attacked too, using Fast Forward to counter the Rewind and stabilizing the flow of time.

“Hraaaah!”

The Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut replica activated its golden aura, a precursor to Fist of the Raging Overlord.

“Elemental Authority — Heavenly Flames’ Descent!”

Just as the replica attacked, Qian’er used her strongest attack with the Fire Divine Sword in hand.

Equipping the Fire Divine Sword allowed Qian’er to use her Authority Power easily, casting Divine Fire!

The roaring flames descended from the sky, attacking the replicas and Aragon indiscriminately. More than ten seconds later, the five replicas were all dead, and Aragon the Ruler of God was on the ground again.

Although Aragon could resurrect infinitely, he had nevertheless used up most of his Divine Power in the battle with Li Yi earlier. Divine Power was not restored upon resurrection, and he could only regain it slowly as time passed.

“Well done!”

The Mountain applauded enthusiastically.

Li Yi smiled at Qian’er as well and sent her a message, “Come to my room tonight…”

“I told you, it’s no use. I’m the Ruler God of Creation, so no one in this world can kill me!”

Aragon resurrected on the spot again, and Qian’er threw an explosion of Divine Flames at him with her Fire Divine Sword, taking him down again.

“It’s no use…”

Aragon got up again…

“That’s enough! Auld, don’t embarrass me any further! You do not deserve the title of Omega!”

While Qian’er was torturing Aragon with ease, a voice suddenly rang out from midair.

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh…”

The Ruler of God’s Armor that had been floating in midair descended slowly, approaching Aragon.

The silhouette of a person slowly appeared in the Ruler of God’s Armor. It had a crew cut and a young face. It was none other than Ghostly Walker, who had gone missing earlier!

“It’s you!” Aragon howled in horror. “No! It can’t be! It can’t be!”

…
