Chapter 176 One finger pierces the sky! God? You dare to look me in the eye?
"Reporting, General! The target has spotted us and is calling out to us!"
On the bridge of the flagship of the Apocalypse Civilization, the monitor's voice was distorted by extreme shock, as if he had seen an unbelievable ghost or god.
The deity slightly raised his eyelids, and his golden pupils, known as the "Spell-Breaking Divine Eyes," opened again, his gaze piercing through dimensions and precisely locking onto that small courtyard house.
This time, he looked even more carefully.
Then, his brows furrowed deeply.
In the video, a young man with black hair, wearing cheap shorts and flip-flops, is standing at the gate of a courtyard, pointing at the empty alley.
His posture and expression didn't seem like he was facing the most elite assassin in the universe; it was more like he was scolding a few elementary school students who were littering.
Behind him, the several reasonably attractive maids and the group of guards whose auras barely reached the "planetary level" were all pale-faced and trembling slightly with tension.
The whole scene exudes an indescribable eeriness and dissonance.
"Can he really 'see' the adjudicator?"
For the first time, a trace of doubt surfaced in the god's mind.
The "Arbitrators" are the sharpest hidden blades of the "Apocalypse" civilization. The "dark matter coating" on their bodies is the highest technological achievement bestowed by His Majesty the God-Emperor.
Let alone the indigenous people of such a low-level civilization, even among the same level of god-like civilizations, very few can see through its invisibility.
Could it be... that this seemingly ordinary young man is an unimaginable old monster?
"Hmph, just making a fuss over nothing."
God will soon extinguish this absurd idea.
He preferred to believe that this was just some kind of special perception method used by the other party, or simply a bluff.
"Order the 'Judge' to ignore it."
He issued the command indifferently.
"Execute the second phase of the plan."
"Purify all life forms within the barrier except the target."
"I'll see how long he can keep up this act."
In his eyes, language is the most pale and powerless defense.
Only absolute power and bloody reality can make these self-righteous natives truly recognize the insurmountable chasm between mortals and gods!
"Yes, General!"
……
Inside the barrier.
Upon receiving the new instructions, the nine "arbitrators" simultaneously flashed red light in their cold electronic eyes.
They no longer concealed their presence.
Nine jet-black figures slowly emerged from the distorted air, hovering silently in mid-air, forming a perfect circle that completely sealed off the entire courtyard.
A pure killing intent devoid of any emotion transformed into a tangible chill, sweeping over everyone in the courtyard!
"Enemy attack!!!"
Fang Qingxue was the first to let out a sharp shriek, and her Xuanbing True Qi erupted from her body!
A crystal-clear, icy longsword materialized in her hand!
Her three cousins instantly formed a sword formation, firmly protecting Lin Fan behind them.
Without uttering a single word, the Gold Saints burned their cosmos to the extreme, transforming into golden meteors and charging out fiercely!
"Plasma Light Speed Fist!!"
Leo Aiolia took the lead, and countless golden fist shadows intertwined to form a destructive net of light, instantly enveloping one of the "arbitrators" in front of him!
However, faced with this terrifying attack that could tear the earth apart and evaporate the ocean, the "arbiter" simply raised his left hand expressionlessly.
A miniature hexagonal blue energy shield flashed and disappeared in his palm.
"boom--!!!"
Amidst the deafening explosion, the golden net of light, upon touching the shield, did not create a ripple. Instead, it disintegrated inch by inch from the point of contact, turning into nothingness!
It was as if Aiolia's power to destroy stars had never existed.
"What?!"
Aiolia's pupils suddenly contracted!
His most powerful technique was so easily "erased"?!
In the instant he was distracted, the "arbitrator" moved.
He casually thrust the energy spear in his hand forward.
There were no fancy moves, no impressive aura.
Simple and straightforward.
A point of intense white light shone from the tip of the spear.
That point of white light didn't pierce through space; instead, it ignored the distance and "was born" out of thin air on Aiolia's chest!
"not good!"
Aiolia felt a chill run down his spine; a shadow of death enveloped him completely!
He tried to hide, but found that the space around him had already been locked, and his body felt as heavy as if it had been filled with lead and mercury!
He couldn't move!
They could only watch helplessly as that point of deathly white light rapidly magnified in their field of vision!
"stop!"
At the critical moment, a loud shout rang out!
An even more dazzling golden figure appeared in front of Aiolia as if teleporting!
It's Aiolos, the Sagittarius!
He burned his cosmos to its limit, using the strongest breastplate of his Gold Cloth to meet that ray of death head-on!
"Pfft—!"
A dull, soft sound, like a sharp blade piercing through tattered leather.
The Sagittarius Gold Cloth, which was said to be impenetrable even to the gods, was now as fragile as a sheet of paper and was pierced through without any resistance by that energy spear!
The spearhead pierced through his body, bringing with it a spray of scalding hot blood!
"Big brother!!"
Aiolia let out a heart-wrenching cry.
Everyone in the courtyard was stunned by this bloody and shocking scene!
one move!
Just one move!
The incredibly powerful Gold Saint is already critically injured and on the verge of death?!
What exactly are these black monsters?!
Fang Qingxue's hand holding the ice sword trembled violently, and for the first time, a cold emotion called "despair" welled up in her heart.
Her pride in her strength was utterly laughable and insignificant in the face of such true terror!
The "arbiter" struck successfully and expressionlessly drew his spear.
With a flick of the spear, it aimed at the other "living beings" in the yard.
He was simply carrying out the "purification" command.
The other eight "arbitrators" also raised their knives at the same time.
The shadow of death completely enveloped the entire courtyard.
However, at that moment...
A lazy, slightly annoyed voice drifted from the courtyard gate.
"Hey, are you guys ever going to stop?"
It's Lin Fan.
He walked out from behind Fang Qingxue and the others with his hands behind his back.
He first glanced at Aiolos, who had a large hole in his chest and was barely breathing.
He looked up again at the nine "arbitrators" floating in the air, resembling the Grim Reapers of Hell.
He frowned, his disdain undisguised.
"What kind of garbage sorting are you guys doing? Why do you all look like cockroaches?"
"You think you've accomplished something by fighting and killing right on my doorstep?"
He pointed to the wall where Aiolos's blood had splattered.
"See? I've made the walls all dirty."
"Repainting costs money, you know that?"
Lin Fan's words left everyone present speechless.
The nine "arbitrators" all focused their attention on this mortal who was powerless to even kill a chicken.
Their logical centers were racing, trying to decipher the meaning of these words.
Cockroaches? Garbage sorting? Painting walls?
Is this some kind of ancient, mysterious spell?
Lin Fan didn't care whether they understood or not.
He was completely fed up.
A perfectly good afternoon tea was completely ruined by these uninvited guests.
He looked up at the spatial barrier that distorted the light above the courtyard house and curled his lip.
"And this tattered cover, get it removed right now."
"It's like a sauna, it's so hot."
One of the "arbitrators" responded in a flat, synthesized electronic voice: "You lowly carbon-based life form have no right to command us."
"The 'Judgment Barrier' was personally bestowed by His Majesty the God-Emperor and is a divine artifact of the law. Unless a god of equal rank intervenes, it is absolutely impossible for it to be broken."
Their words revealed the deep-seated contempt and arrogance of a superior civilization towards inferior beings.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows.
"God Emperor? That sounds intimidating."
"A divine artifact governed by laws? That sounds pretty powerful."
He held up one index finger.
An ordinary, fair, and slender index finger.
Then, he gently poked upwards at the void above his head, where the light was distorting.
The movements were casual and understated.
"Then today, I'll give it a try."
next second.
"Click—"
A crisp, shattering sound echoed throughout the world.
The seemingly indestructible "Judgment Barrier," constructed from "law artifacts," was instantly covered with spiderweb-like silver cracks under Lin Fan's seemingly effortless finger strike!
Immediately afterwards, a muffled "boom" resounded!
The entire barrier shattered completely!
It transformed into countless points of light and dissipated into the air!
The world suddenly became clear.
The viscous air disappeared.
The bent light rays straightened.
The terrifying force of gravity, a hundred times stronger than normal, vanished without a trace.
A deathly silence enveloped the battlefield.
All the Gold Saints, all the Fang sisters, all the super mercenaries... all stared blankly at the man who had pierced the "sky" with just one finger.
Their brains have completely stopped thinking.
The nine arrogant "arbitrators" were now frozen in mid-air.
The red light representing absolute rationality in their electronic eyes is flashing wildly at an unprecedented frequency!
The central processing unit was completely overloaded in that instant!
"Warning! Warning!"
"The 'Judgment Barrier' has been destroyed by an unknown means!"
"Target danger level...cannot be estimated!"
"Reassessment...failed! Failed! Failed!"
"Requesting divine assistance...with the highest authority!"
For the first time, their unchanging electronic synthesized voice carried a trace of electrical noise called "fear"!
After breaking through the "broken cover", Lin Fan slowly withdrew his finger.
He raised his eyes, his cold gaze falling on the nine "black cockroaches" that had completely crashed.
The languor and impatience on his face vanished, leaving only a deathly indifference, as if a celestial king were looking down on a group of ants who dared to challenge his divine might.
"I think I just mentioned that to you."
His voice was calm, but each word was like an invisible hammer, striking the core of the souls of the nine "arbitrators".
"Get out of here."
"You guys don't seem to understand?"
He slowly raised his right hand.
"Since you like staying here so much..."
"Then stay here forever."
"Perfect timing, my vegetable garden in the yard is just short of fertilizer."
The moment the words fell.
He gently clenched his fist with his five fingers.
"Smack."
A soft sound, barely audible.
The nine "Apocalypse Arbiters," clad in god-level armor and possessing the power to destroy planets, along with their weapons, vanished into the smallest fundamental particles in an instant, without any warning or energy fluctuation.
Then, like dust, it drifted down in a gentle, scattered manner.
It was evenly spread across the vegetable patch in the yard where cucumber seedlings had just been planted...
Death, silence.
The entire world fell into a suffocating, absolute silence.
