Chapter 422: Deification Project (End)

Chapter 422: Deification Project (Final)

Everyone watched the sky churning violently, filled with seething evil energy. It was clear that the Heavenly Dao held them in contempt.

Today, it was determined to take Wu Yue away!

Shen Que’s mental energy enveloped Wu Yue’s entirely.

"Shen Que: From now on, I will help you cope with the emotional extraction. You focus on finding a way.

Find a way to resolve all of this."

This finally gave Wu Yue a moment to regroup. Regaining emotional control and logical clarity allowed her to think rapidly.

Find a way…

There must be a way…

If science's limit is theology, then when theology fails, can we turn to science?

She suddenly looked at Jian Suiyu. "Can any of this be explained with science now?

If our own strength is destined to be unable to repel the Heavenly Dao, can modern military weaponry offer a solution?"

White Tiger, Zhou Qianfeng, Jian Suiyu, and Jiang Huaizhi chorused:

"Yes! The barrier above World City is now completely open. The barrier's closed state can withstand bombardment from intercontinental missiles.

No matter how powerful the force unleashed by the Heavenly Dao, if mortal power can oppose it, it will surely be shattered by missiles.

This echoes Ancient China's decree: after the founding of the nation, no supernatural manifestations are permitted. If they insist on manifesting, we'll blast them out of the sky!!"

Zhou Qianfeng, "Initiate barrier closure above World City immediately. The entire closing process will take 10 minutes.

And during these 10 minutes, we can’t afford any external interference. In other words, we must hold out for these final 10 minutes.

All missiles stored across the alliance, in the east, west, south, north, and every direction of World City, are simultaneously in position. Ten thousand artillery pieces will open fire!

To hell with whether it’s the Heavenly Dao or not? With firepower reserves capable of obliterating Blue Star, if Blue Star is gone, what good is the Heavenly Dao then?"

Jiang Huaizhi, "Sirius will counter this wave."

Jiang Huaizhi raised the Longyuan in his hand, observing the constantly flickering nebula on it and the evil energy swirling everywhere in the sky. Suddenly, an idea came to him.

"Longyuan, combined with Sirius’s astrological array and Wu Yue’s evil energy, might allow us to execute a combination attack.

Using force against force, turning the Heavenly Dao’s power against itself!"

Jiang Yuhua thought quickly. "Yes, brother, I think it’s possible! Let’s give it a try!"

As Sirius quickly activated the array, starlight pierced through the clouds across the evil energy-filled sky. Jiang Huaizhi took over Jiang Cheng’s Imperial Star, and ultimately, all energy converged onto Wu Yue’s Polaris.

Sure enough, the moment the starlight connected with Wu Yue, the ultimate move, which had been dim all along, suddenly lit up.

Without hesitation, Jiang Huaizhi unleashed it directly into the sky.

Instantly,

ten thousand dragons emerged from the abyss, dragons descended upon the world, each holding a pearl in its mouth, summoning countless heavenly thunderbolts, defying the heavens.

Wu Chong's abyssal dragon took the lead, leading all the dragons as they kept climbing higher into the sky.

The dragons devoured all the evil energy, and at the same time, the barrier above World City came online.

As the evil energy vanished, everyone finally let out a collective sigh of relief.

But with the disappearance of the evil energy, the dragons turned back, defying natural order, preparing to unleash countless bolts of divine lightning.

Everyone's expressions instantly changed.

White Tiger—"How long till the barrier is fully activated?"

Lu Li—"Ninety seconds."

White Tiger immediately picked up his weapon—"Power up all lightning rods to divert the heavenly lightning away from residential areas. White Tiger Army, follow me for ground operations."

Zhou Qianfeng looked at Lu Li—"Begin evacuating people immediately and get them to safety. Especially with so many newborns that just showed up in the alliance, we cannot afford any mistakes!"

Lu Li—"On it!"

Jian Suiyu turned to Charles—"Return and get ready to man the Hawk's artillery."

Shang Baiyi—"I've already notified Uncle Zhou. Blaze's artillery is locked and loaded."

Jiang Yuhua—"Sirius is in position too."

Shen Qingci looked at Su Mo and Shadow—"Let's go, we'll assist the secretariat in crowd evacuation."

Wu Xiuli, leading Desert Rose—"Let's go, we're on crowd duty too!"

"Right behind you!"

Shen Que could feel the once-vivid images in his mind rapidly turning grayscale, like a silent, aged film, destined to vanish completely with the passage of time.

Every memory once filled with love failed to evoke even the slightest ripple in his heart.

Wu Yue's significance in his heart was fading rapidly, until she became nothing more than a perfect stranger.

More cruel than amnesia was the fact that he still possessed all the memories of their time together, having just learned every detail of their love.

They'd connected deeply, their souls and bodies in perfect harmony, yet he could only watch helplessly as he and the one he loved grew apart.

Despair gradually filled his eyes. He didn’t want to forget—he didn’t want to forget what it felt like to love Wu Yue.

He couldn’t bear the thought of Wu Yue staying but completely forgetting her love for him.

If that happened, he wouldn’t need any villain—he would destroy the entire world himself!

He couldn’t wait any longer, not even a moment!

Shen Que—"Wu Yue, I’ll give you seven days at most. I don’t care what methods you use or what schemes you employ, you must make me fall in love with you again. Otherwise, for every minute or second beyond that, I will make you pay me back a hundredfold, a thousandfold."

Wu Yue—"How would I pay you back?"

Shen Que—"In our bed. If you dare do nothing and wait around for me to slowly get back my emotions and slowly fall in love with you again..."

The day I snap out of it, I swear, every single moment of every day, I'll make sure you won't be able to get out of bed.

You won't be able to do anything, Wu Yue. I am the world's ultimate villain, and you, the savior, need only focus on me alone."

Without waiting for Wu Yue's response, Shen Que drew out Poseidon's Trident and sent a communication to Zhang Ze:

"Shen Que: Pilot your Sky-Skimmer straight into Central City."

"Zhang Ze: Right away, boss."

Shen Que boarded Zhang Ze's Sky-Skimmer and raced straight toward the first lightning strike point.

Shen Que, "Open the hatch now."

Zhang Ze, "...Dad, are you out of your mind?"

Shen Que nodded, "Yeah, if my wife doesn’t love me, I’ll kill everyone."

Zhang Ze, "..." No wonder. Put that way, it really fits this madman's character.

He swiftly opened the hatch and said respectfully, "Dad, after you."

Shen Que pulled out Poseidon's Trident, unleashed its ultimate move, and summoned a monstrous tidal wave in the sky.

Instantly, all the Heavenly Lightning channeled into the massive wave, which rolled and surged, filled with streaks of lightning.

Countless bolts of thunder transformed into a torrential downpour, engulfing Shen Que completely.

The Heavenly Lightning rampaged through his body, flashing and thundering, tearing his skin, muscles, and blood vessels apart.

The blood of the Saint Angel continuously repaired his body, while the Heavenly Lightning tempered his meridians. The dragon-descended lightning served as the perfect reforging of his draconic bones.

"Congratulations on obtaining the SSS-level Awakened Ability: Heavenly Thunder Lv1.

Ability description: Heavenly Thunder fully merges with your bloodline and dragon bone, adding lightning damage to every basic attack.

Upgrading this ability, combined with your weapon’s ultimate move, can evolve it into an area-of-effect skill."

As the Heavenly Lightning dissipated, the World City’s barrier successfully closed. Zhang Ze immediately steered the Sky-Skimmer to recover the unconscious Shen Que, pushing the thrusters to their limit to escape the bombing zone before the artillery shells fell.

The intense artillery fire completely cut off the convergence of evil energy. As Wu Yue felt the formation’s control over her weakening,

Her Mental Power Sharing with Shen Que was completely severed.

Suddenly, Wu Yue felt a sharp pain in her chest. A wave of sorrow and suffocation washed over her, and her severed emotions and desires fully returned.

Breaking free from the formation, not pausing to celebrate or accept congratulations,

Wu Yue urgently asked, "Where is Shen Que?"

Jian Suiyu, "He dealt the final blow."

Wu Yue felt as though every breath she took was accompanied by excruciating pain. She whispered,

"At the critical moment, it was Shen Que’s emotions and desires being stripped away that helped me figure out a solution.

Our Mental Power Sharing has been severed. He might have... had all his emotions stripped away."

Jian Suiyu exchanged a surprised look with Jiang Yuhua.

"Completely drained of emotion means..."

Shen Que no longer loves Wu Yue.

....

The deity saved everyone with all her might, yet lost her love in return—this is heaven's punishment for her.

After all, given so many lives were saved, all she lost was her love.

How can you not call this a happy ending?

A happy ending...

My foot!
