Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 456 - 430: Evil God

Chen Shouyi returned from his task and had dinner.

He sat on the bed, looking at the remaining seventy or eighty pounds of demigod flesh, and suddenly stood up.

He drew his sword and cut it into five portions.

Then he took a newspaper from the side, carefully wrapped them in paper one by one, and got up to leave.

He walked to a room door and reached out to knock.

Not long after, the door opened.

Lu Lingbo, wearing pajamas and still sleepy, opened the door. Her large chest, unrestrained, lifted the pajamas high.

With the frequent battles these days, both her body and mind were exhausted, so she rested as soon as she finished eating.

Seeing that it was Chen Shouyi who knocked, her expression slightly froze, and a blush appeared on her dark face. She awkwardly said:

"Chen... Chief Advisor Chen, what brings you here? Uh, why don’t you come in and talk? It’s just a bit messy inside!"

Why would I go in?

Chen Shouyi said, "I brought you something!"

He handed over one of the packages of demigod meat.

"What is this?" Lu Lingbo hesitated for a moment, reached out to take it, and asked in confusion.

"It’s demigod meat. I kept a little bit secretly, and it’s quite nourishing to the body. Considering how tired you guys are, it should be useful!" Chen Shouyi said calmly.

Dem... Demigod meat!

Lu Lingbo’s hand trembled upon hearing this, almost dropping the package to the ground.

The rumors of Chen Shouyi being a Godslayer were still just rumors. There’s nothing like the impact of seeing real demigod meat with one’s own eyes.

Even though she was a martial artist of the military, getting priority in resources, she had never seen real demigod meat!

This kind of thing was always fully utilized down to the last bit.

For example, demigod meat would be ground and centrifuged to extract harmless cell fluid, while the leftover residue would be made into high-energy supplements specifically for the military martial artists to train with.

But even so, given limited resources, it could never be supplied in unlimited quantities. It was still something exchanged for merits and qualifications, just like now, amidst this fierce war, the higher-ups didn’t provide it.

"Chief Advisor Chen, this thing is too valuable," Lu Lingbo quickly said, then bit her lip: "I... I can’t accept it!"

"You don’t want it?" Chen Shouyi asked with a surprised expression: "Then give it back to me."

Lu Lingbo was suddenly at a loss, clutching the package of demigod meat, not knowing whether to return it or to keep it, her dark face flushed red.

She was just being polite.

How could Chief Advisor Chen take it seriously!

Shouldn’t it be pushed back and forth a bit before taking it?

Just persuade me a little!

And I would accept it.

"Haha, just joking, take it. I have plenty more of this!" Chen Shouyi laughed, then turned and left.

He was most annoyed by this kind of politeness. Every New Year, when his aunt gave him red envelopes, Mrs. Chen always resisted with all her might, making it seem like they were about to fight. He didn’t have the energy for that.

With his growing strength, apart from being honest in front of his parents, he was becoming more and more carefree with others, restoring his original self, unconcerned about external opinions.

After that, Chen Shouyi gave a share to each military martial artist.

As for the night-duty martial artists, others helped to deliver it.

Not much!

Each portion was about ten pounds.

Of course, it’s not much to Chen Shouyi, but for an ordinary martial artist, even training for a whole night, they probably won’t use up more than a pound or two.

When he first consumed demigod flesh, he only ate a pound before getting a nosebleed. Even then, he was already a peak martial artist.

He still had about thirty pounds left.

But it’s easy to return, since Pingzhou and Hedong are adjacent. For the current him, it only takes an hour to go back and forth.

...

Since Chen Shouyi arrived in Pingzhou, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

As the battle progressed, the encirclement continued to shrink, and the barbarians’ attempts to break through became increasingly frenzied.

Unfortunately, layers of nets had been spread out by humanity. Once the barbarians gathered in groups, they would either be bombarded with heavy artillery or immediately strafed by aircraft, and only a few could break through the encirclement.

...

"Boom!"

A barbarian punched Chen Shouyi heavily on the chest, tearing his clothes apart and revealing his muscular chest. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Chen Shouyi’s body wobbled, and the air barrier behind him was shattered.

He chuckled lightly, gesturing to the frightened barbarian with a hand motion.

The barbarian roared in despair, charging again and attacking frantically.

He tried to flee, but couldn’t escape. This terrifying alien legendary strongman was like a demon, blocking his escape every time.

The punches landed on Chen Shouyi’s body with explosive sounds.

This was undoubtedly a martial master-level barbarian, each punch possessing nearly ten tons of force. However, hitting him felt like a tickle.

Chen Shouyi realized that after becoming a legendary warrior, he wasn’t sure about his attack power, but throughout the past and present, no one he hit survived. However, the most notable change was his increased defense.

The opponent’s punches, with their power spread evenly by his body’s omnipresent energy, resulted in significantly reduced damage.

It’s like how the same force that would easily pierce through wood with a needlepoint can’t penetrate an iron block at all.

"No wonder I struggled so much when I first killed that legendary barbarian!" Chen Shouyi thought to himself.

Back then, using the giant transformation state, he struck with over a hundred tons of force per punch, hitting with more than a dozen punches before barely smashing the opponent’s head. In terms of defense, it was far more formidable than he was back then.

At this moment, Chen Shouyi’s heart turned cold, and he instantly lifted his knee.

How dare you, trying to attack my lower body?

Is that something you can hit?

No matter how strong a man is, that’s always the most vulnerable spot.

Besides, what if it luckily didn’t get hurt but broke my underwear?

In the next instant, knees collided violently, producing a crisp bone-breaking sound, and simultaneously, the barbarian’s body was sent flying like a cannonball, with his thigh bending at an odd angle.

After crashing to the ground, the barbarian propped himself up with his hands and kept retreating, tears and snot streaming down his face.

Clearly, his spirit had already collapsed.

Too weak to withstand a hit.

Chen Shouyi felt somewhat bored.

He crossed more than ten meters with one step, arriving at the barbarian’s side, and under the other’s despairing gaze, he heavily stomped on the barbarian’s chest, accompanied by a series of rapid, crisp bone-breaking sounds.

The entire chest caved in instantly.

...

In the underground parking lot.

A giant with the head of a bird and the body of a man grasped a bald barbarian’s head in his enormous hand.

Ahead lay a dense carpet of barbarian corpses, each with twisted expressions, as if completely in disbelief in their final moments.

The bald barbarian, not yet dead, struggled violently. As a legendary strongman, to some extent, he could slightly contend with a god’s power.

His face mixed with anger and despair, veins bulging from his forehead, he cried out in rage:

"Lord, why do this? We are your devoted followers!"

"Because..." A strange, chilling smile stretched across its birdlike face:

"Faith is toxic, and from now on, I need it no more! Only now do I truly feel how deep this world’s fear of me is. Before long, I will be able to reforge my divine core!"

At this moment, the sacred aura that once surrounded it had vanished, replaced by an aura of evil, bloodiness, and eeriness.

Although faith had backfired, and It barely avoided demise, Its divinity had been corrupted by curses and grievances, twisting it into a deity of fear.

This kind of deity was quite unique, thriving on instilling fear into beings and extracting the fear and resentment directed toward It, no longer needing specific beliefs.

The bald barbarian fell into deeper despair: "You...you’ve become an evil god!"

As soon as he spoke, he felt the grip on his head tighten with increasing strength, producing creaking sounds:

"No..."

The next instant.

His head was crushed in a flash, brain matter splattering out.

Along with it, his soul shattered into lights unseen by ordinary eyes, inhaled by the God of Hunting.

"Legends do taste more delicious indeed!" It muttered softly with its grotesque, twisted smile, the shadows and lights in the dark underground parking lot swirling and fluctuating.

From afar, a muffled sound vaguely echoed.

Its bizarre smile slowly faded, glancing at the ceiling: "Humans..."
