The War Gods of the Parallel Blue Star arrived, recognizing Xiyue, the strongest War God in Xia. The Heaven-Breaking War God was instantly killed by Moloch. The Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance organized a team to investigate after the Heaven-Breaking War God's aura vanished. Meanwhile, other countries, like the Beautiful Country, arrived with ill intentions. The Heaven-Breaking War God's presence had maintained a balance of power, but his death allowed others to act recklessly. They were surprised to see a powerful female War God, Xiyue, who surpassed human expectations. Luo Hai, a subordinate of Xiyue, was shocked to see Lin Yi's immense power, surpassing even Xiyue's. The Xia team leader, He Shuai, approached Xiyue with admiration, but Xiyue angrily rejected him and the others, telling them to get lost. She declared her return was to fulfill a promise, not for Parallel Blue Star Xia. He Shuai misunderstood, thinking Xia's slow support made Xiyue upset. War Gods from the Beautiful Country intervened, offering their assistance to Xiyue by attacking Moloch. However, Moloch was unfazed and questioned their actions.

From the heavens, three powerful beams descended, imbued with the formidable might of the Supreme Law.

Ordinarily, such an assault, laced with terrifying power, would naturally incite a tremendous upheaval, perhaps even moving mountains or shaking the very earth.

However, when these destructive beams met their counter, they vanished as if stones dropped into the deep ocean, causing not a single ripple.

The Supreme Law wielded by the three attackers was utterly consumed, leaving no trace behind.

It was as if they had been completely swallowed whole!

"This is outrageous! They dare to remain so arrogant even when surrounded!"

"A god is indeed a god; even as a mere soul, they exist beyond the reach of mortals!"

Unbeknownst to the three War Gods from the Beautiful Country, the formidable entity they confronted was of a horrific magnitude. They still harbored the delusion that if a one-on-one confrontation failed, a group effort would surely suffice.

Accustomed to dominating the low-dimensional realm of the insignificant planet known as Parallel Blue Star, the trio failed to grasp the sheer terror of their Supreme Law being utterly annihilated.

Observe these three simpletons, still foolishly believing that by banding together, their numerical advantage would surely grant them dominion over Moloch, their faces etched with an unwarranted sense of ease.

Little did they comprehend that Xiyue's prolonged struggle against Moloch was not a testament to her matching his strength, but rather a reflection of Moloch's own reluctance to deliver a fatal blow.

Behind Xiyue stands Lin Yi; who, pray tell, stands behind you three esteemed War Gods of the Beautiful Country?

Before these three could even unleash their most proficient Forbidden Curse, an intensely searing heat drilled into the very core of their beings.

As the embodiment of the Fire God, Moloch's command over flames was unparalleled.

Even Lin Yi, in this particular instance, could only strategically evade its direct onslaught.

The moment the inferno unfurled, it not only completely nullified the attacks of the three veteran War Gods from the Beautiful Country but, unnoticed by them, infused their very beings with scorching flames imbued with divine essence.

This entire sequence of actions was executed with impeccable precision and seamless fluidity. Beyond Lin Yi and Xiyue, no other observer at the scene could perceive Moloch's opportunistic strike.

The transition from defense to offense, and then back to defense, was so exceptionally smooth that even Xiyue, who could expertly meld the five elements, could only watch in admiration.

"Is this truly the power of a god?"

Xiyue understood that in terms of overall combat prowess, Moloch could never truly rival Lin Yi; should a full-scale war erupt, Lin Yi would emerge utterly unscathed.

However, when it came to the mastery of flame, Moloch stood supremely at the pinnacle.

At this very moment, even Lin Yi found himself compelled to employ his Eye of All-Seeing, scrutinizing Moloch's intricate control over flames with utmost seriousness.

Without any ostentatious displays or boastful declarations, following Moloch's chilling question...

The heads of the three paramount War Gods from the Beautiful Country disintegrated into dust in an instant.

Their spectral forms emerged, their faces etched with profound bewilderment as they gazed upon their now-headless bodies, utterly clueless as to what had just transpired.

Not only were the participants stunned, but even the dozens of elite observers from Parallel Blue Star remained baffled by Moloch's actions.

"Heh heh heh, I asked you three things."

"Your Beautiful Country, what troubles you?"

As Moloch's lips curved into an unsettling grin, a colossal vortex of fire materialized before him.

The fiery vortex spun with immense gravitational force, and the three senior War Gods from the Beautiful Country barely had time to register their existence before their souls, bodies, and Lifebound Law were inexorably drawn into the conflagration, utterly incinerated.

....

The expressions of the professionals from Parallel Blue Star were a complex tapestry of bewilderment and disbelief.

Having never ventured beyond the confines of Parallel Blue Star, the zenith of their understanding was the War God; how could they possibly conceive of an entity capable of obliterating three top-tier War Gods with a mere flick of its wrist?

While these three from the Beautiful Country were not the strongest contingent among the Blue Star War Gods of varying strengths, their possession of the Supreme Law undeniably marked them as elite members of the team.

Even He Shuai, who led Xia, possessed only a marginally greater power than any one of them.

A wave of relief, the palpable sense of having narrowly escaped death, washed over He Shuai:

"Fortunately, those three fools from the Beautiful Country rushed to their doom first; otherwise, my head would be the one exploding right now."

"Big brother, what shall we do?"

"Big brother, big brother, what's wrong? Don't frighten us. You too haven't fallen prey to that monster..."

"Big brother, please speak. We await your guidance."

The Blue Star War Gods were thrown into disarray: should they fight or should they flee?

To retreat would be to brand themselves as deserters. Moreover, the monstrous entity was already drawing near Maoxiong, perilously close to Xia. If they abandoned their post and fled directly, that menace would soon pose a direct threat to their kin.

But if they stood their ground, then what course of action remained?

In the collective perception of the people of Parallel Blue Star, War Gods shielded by the Supreme Law were practically invincible, immortal beings. If even such formidable individuals could be annihilated in an instant, what meaningful distinction remained between the fate of lesser beings and sheer annihilation?

Was He Shuai deliberately avoiding or deep in thought? It took considerable effort from his fellow War Gods to call him back to reality.

"I... I..."

The poised demeanor he had adopted to show off before Xiyue completely vanished, leaving his gaze filled with confusion and uncertainty.

What should he do? Flee?

If he were to flee, Xiyue was watching. Xiyue, who was already displeased with Parallel Xia’s actions, would certainly not side with Parallel Xia upon witnessing his timidity again.

"Charge! Charge! Of course, we charge! We Xia War Gods are courageous warriors who view death as a homecoming! Even if the enemy is strong, our Xia War Gods possess hearts more steadfast than rocks!"

"Come, you, you, and you who have cooperated most frequently and possess considerably strong abilities – join forces to launch a frontal assault! Hold that monster down, and I will lead a side assault to seek an opportunity to strike. We must destroy this monster!"

Ordinarily, He Shuai’s words carried significant weight.

But today, even after a considerable amount of time issuing the order, the named War Gods showed no inclination to act.

Seeing his orders rendered ineffective, He Shuai became agitated. He pointed at those few individuals and began to scold them.

"What are you doing? Are you afraid of death, or are you defying military orders?! Do you even understand what you are doing? You had best hurry and charge for me, or else!"

Having spoken this far, those specifically named were no longer willing to save face for He Shuai.

"Boss, why don't you listen to yourself? Can't you discern the monster's power? Even the Beautiful Country War Gods, protected by Supreme Law, were instantly killed. Are you asking us to handle the frontal feint? Are we worthy of such a task? Isn't this order merely a death sentence? Why don't you perform the feint yourself?"

This pointed question left He Shuai utterly dumbfounded.

After a moment of stunned silence, he immediately snapped back: Being appointed as the leader shows my decisions are most likely correct! Are you rebelling against me?
