Chapter 1 After Entering Battle, Leah Switches to Berserker Mode

Hao Ren hadn't expected that after entering battle mode, Leah would switch directly to berserker mode—surrounded by countless divine runes, with a golden-glowing holy book floating in front of her, yet standing in mid-air, trading insults that shook the entire cosmic domain. If Leah's current style were shown to those goddess-of-creation followers, it would likely cause another round of faith collapse...

After all, those followers had only recently managed to accept that their goddess was a silly-grinning loli with her hands on her hips in a V-sign...

Leah's outburst also greatly exceeded the expectations of the Goddess of Destruction. She seemed momentarily flustered, but not because Leah's verbal attacks had any effect—she was completely fused with the Lord of Madness, and chaos and destruction were her essence. Even if Leah's cursing skills were more powerful, she couldn't shake her in that regard. What truly made the Goddess of Destruction panic was Leah's endless stream of new attack methods.

Whether it was directly modifying local laws to offset the power of chaos, or using divine runes to restore the order of spacetime, these were things she had never known. She originally thought that she and Leah shared the same origin and could grasp the latter's battle rhythm, but now she realized that she had made a mistake from the very beginning.

"Where did you get these powers...?" The Goddess of Destruction was once again forced to teleport out of Leah's attack range. She lost her initial composure and calmness, and became somewhat exasperated. "In these short few months... what exactly did you do?"

Leah smiled, and the cheat sheet in her hand turned to a new page: "What did I do? I studied, I studied non-stop, I did practice problems non-stop, I wrote homework non-stop! You'll never understand what 'knowledge is power' means, but now... let's talk about one lesson, one practice!"

Countless runes appeared out of thin air in the cosmic space within a range of millions of kilometers. The spacetime structures that had been devoured and torn apart by the Goddess of Destruction were quickly smoothed out under the operation of the runes, but just as the runes were halfway through their operation, an invisible force swept across the battlefield, instantly erasing all the runes.

"I have no interest in the source of your power. These little tricks of yours are indeed much better than before, but they are completely meaningless," the Goddess of Destruction reappeared in the universe. Behind her, the dark celestial body shrouded in chaotic mist gradually changed. Countless dark red light streams surged in the depths of the clouds, and the clouds themselves were gradually absorbed by the light streams, becoming thinner. "Thanks for your cooperation. If you hadn't been so recklessly squandering your divine power, the engine probably wouldn't have been ready so quickly..."

The clouds surrounding the dark celestial body finally disappeared, and its hideous, detestable body appeared before everyone. Hao Ren saw it as a random collection of metal, rock, flesh, and bones. These vastly different substances were stacked to form the main body of the planet: a thick, keratin-like crust appeared cracked, with festering flesh beneath the cracks, and complex metal structures filling the gaps between the flesh. Everything was constantly wriggling, and these wriggling things formed strange, face-like structures on the surface of the planet.

Compared to the scene seen through the "resonance phenomenon" when the Creation Engine was completed, witnessing the "Destruction Engine" firsthand had a significantly stronger visual impact.

The moment she saw the Destruction Engine, Leah fell silent, and after a long while, she said, "I knew you had already built it."

"But you have no power to stop it," the Goddess of Destruction stood in space, her arms open, her pale figure forming a symbol against the backdrop of the dark celestial body. "You can only sneak in like this, but once you infiltrate, it's impossible to destroy or prevent the engine from starting. My 'sister'... you should know the principle of this thing..."

The face on the surface of the dark celestial body became clearer and clearer, and that face seemed to contain endless suffering and hatred. Leah looked at it, but did not dodge or defend at all: "As long as it captures my divinity, it will activate the True God Annihilation Mode, right?"

"Say goodbye," the Goddess of Destruction smiled. "After this universe is annihilated, no one will remember you anymore."

The dark celestial body started.

Infinite energy was constrained, concentrated, and then transformed into the power to affect the operation of the universe, enough to erase gods. A large number of dark extensions escaped from the surface of the celestial body and disappeared into space, establishing a connection with the underlying data of the universe. Then, it began to retrieve the information characteristics of the "Goddess of Creation" in the underlying data of the entire universe, and prepared to delete this part of the data from the universe.

But the Goddess of Destruction's face changed, she seemed a little confused: because Leah was not taking any action at this moment, and Hao Ren was just holding a long sword and paddling water, far away from the center of the battle—in fact, Hao Ren hadn't contributed much since the start of the battle, the protagonists of the battle had always been Leah and the Goddess of Destruction.

As for Vivian... Vivian seemed to have hidden somewhere long ago, and her shadow could not be seen on the battlefield now.

But the Goddess of Destruction's confusion only lasted for a while, because the dark red light flowing on the surface of the dark celestial body had reached its peak. No matter what plan the Goddess of Creation had, it was too late to execute it at this time.

The engine completed the information retrieval of the Goddess of Creation.

But it returned a 404.

The dark red streamers on the surface of the dark celestial body quickly dimmed, and those wriggling, indescribable things trembled violently as if an electric current had passed through them. A series of explosions erupted from the lower layers of the crust, blowing off those thick keratin and rocks, and spewing out countless spectacular jets of matter into space.

Silent, yet magnificent.

"What... how is this possible?!"

Even when Leah was cursing and unleashing a super kill, she hadn't caused the Goddess of Destruction to lose her composure so much. The shock she felt at this moment far exceeded what she had felt before. The Destruction Engine, which she had painstakingly prepared for countless years by stealing those golden discs and spending great effort to build, had not played any role at this moment.

She could imagine Leah using some other trick to resist this attack, and even accept that the engine could not be started due to its own architectural defects, but she could not accept that the engine, after being started, would just inexplicably... crash!

In that moment of stunned silence, countless light golden divine runes suddenly appeared around her, sealing off all her lines of action. Hao Ren, who had been roaming on the outer edge of the battlefield, suddenly rushed up, and the two Cosmic Rift longswords slashed down mercilessly.

The longswords did hit the target, but an irresistible force suddenly fed back, and Hao Ren was immediately blasted away, and the divine rune restraints created by Leah also went out after flashing several times.

The Goddess of Destruction was not unscathed, and there was finally a scar on her arm, but she didn't care about it at all, just glared at Leah: "What exactly did you do?!"

"Just changed the household registration," Leah smiled lightly, and more divine runes emerged from around her. "But for you, it's probably impossible to understand."

"Meaningless... meaningless..." The Goddess of Destruction's voice echoed in everyone's minds, and the violent chaotic power in the cosmic space became stronger with her rage. The spacetime structure that had been repaired and stabilized by Leah became fragile once again. Hao Ren, who had originally planned to slash again, immediately stopped his movements, because he saw that the dark celestial body behind the Goddess of Destruction had changed again.

"It doesn't matter... the engine can't kill you, but I can... it's just giving this pathetic world a few more breaths..."

Between the Goddess of Destruction and the dark celestial body, countless black and blood-colored light streams faintly emerged. The Destruction Engine, which had been damaged by the backlash during the previous start-up process, was forcibly started again—for this huge artifact containing infinite power, those small explosions before were actually not worth mentioning. The fact proved that its repair speed was much faster than the damage.

Dark red, blood-like streamers reappeared on the surface of the celestial body, and those wriggling crusts and flesh also formed face-like structures again, but this time, it revealed the distorted face of the Goddess of Destruction.

Even if the "True God Annihilation" function failed, the Destruction Engine itself was still a powerful weapon.

In an instant, the order of spacetime began to shake and collapse. The dark abyss that was originally wrapped in darkness and chaos actually appeared with endless starlight—the starscapes from all over the Dream Plane were projected into this cosmic domain by the distorted spacetime structure. Large and small galaxies and gas clouds floated in various parts of the dark abyss in completely abnormal proportions. In an instant, this crazy place became brilliantly starry.

And in these abnormal starlights, dark torrents were generated out of thin air from the void around the Destruction Engine, and surged towards Leah and Hao Ren.

"You will be annihilated in chaos!!"

The Goddess of Destruction's voice roared in Hao Ren's mind, and the accompanying spiritual pollution made his head ache and even his soul became shaken. However, a sudden bell rang, calming everything down.

The bell suddenly echoed in the universe, which should have been vacuum and silent, as if it was everywhere and difficult to judge its source, and carried a lasting and mysterious atmosphere.

Along with the bell, there was also the blood-colored moonlight that suddenly filled the entire cosmic domain.

The Goddess of Destruction raised her head in astonishment, and saw a blood-red moon that had appeared in the distant space at some point. It seemed to be a real celestial body, but it also seemed to exist in the world and presented a hazy texture. It was difficult to judge its real position and distance with the naked eye, but she could clearly feel that a certain "power" emanating from that red moon was interfering with and suppressing the operation of the Destruction Engine.

"That is..." The Goddess of Destruction couldn't help but murmur to herself, because she had almost the same memories as Leah, so she could easily think of the origin of this red moon. "The Red Moon... I remember, that little guy you threw into another world... but how could her weak power..."

"Of course you wouldn't know, because what I showed you was just a part of my memory," Leah was finally able to smile triumphantly. "So you certainly wouldn't know that the engine you built... is just a semi-finished product."

The Red Moon hung high behind Leah, and she also opened her arms, also seeming to transform into a symbol.

"The real Creation Engine needs to be encapsulated..."
