From the other end of the ferocious space-time rift, bursts of shrill and unusual roars came along with the familiar aura of Zhan Shen.

It seemed like the cry of a baby in pain, like the cry of a tiger and leopard dying, but it was the source of the nightmare sealed deep in the heart by God Zhan.

Bang——

The huge gray-green soles first passed through the twisted space-time gap and stepped onto the ground of the Death Courtyard.

The filthy and twisted limbs seemed to be plants or invertebrate tentacles, squirming forward bit by bit.

Ah, it's them, Zhan Shen will never admit his mistake.

There have been countless times in the past that Zhanshen has watched them take away the most important person in front of him. Every time Zhanshen feels like his soul is being torn apart in pain.

The anger, pain, and despair that had been buried for a long time were instantly awakened at this moment. Because it was so sudden, Zhanshen even froze on the spot, a little at a loss, and suspected that he was dreaming...

However, in just this moment, their bright buds, spitting mucus and waving sharp teeth, rushed out of the cracks and bit into an unlucky passerby who was in a daze -

"careful!--"

When Zhan Shen reacted and hurriedly issued a warning, it was already too late. The vicious fangs were only a stone's throw away from the innocent passerby.

but……

"Eh~...what the hell is this~"

The next moment, amidst the disgusting complaints of the unlucky passer-by, a dark shadow emerged from the void and tore the ferocious flower bud to pieces in an instant, and then returned to the shadow of the unlucky passer-by.

inside.

The sharp counterattack made Zhanshen's steps about to step out hang in the air. At this moment, he seemed to have just woken up from a nightmare and saw the sparse and ordinary bedroom, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he realize in a daze that this was the death courtyard where the per capita combat power report was based. A random person on the street would be a Martial God, Sword Master, or Great Magician in other worlds. A simple incident such as a sudden encounter with a monster might be a big deal.

It was not his turn to rush to save people.

…it’s completely different from before.

"Haha, is this the nightmare over?"

Just when Zhan Shen was smiling bitterly and mocking himself in a low voice, the unlucky passerby who was almost bitten quickly jumped back, dodged the grey-green vine tentacles that had begun to regenerate at a rapid speed, retreated a distance, and landed on

Behead the God.

"Hey, man, thanks for reminding me."

Looking at the man in a long black trench coat with a frivolous tone waving hello to him, Zhan Shen recognized him as the "Mr. Black Ten" with whom he had dealt with several times.

"No, Mr. Hei Shi, your reaction and sensitivity have improved a lot compared to before." Zhan Shen nodded politely.

"Haha, really? In order to escape for my life, I worked very hard."

Although the opponent just retreated away from him more because he was disgusted and didn't want to get close, Zhan Shen now simply didn't have the heart to understand the opponent's self-deprecating joke.

Zhanshen looked ahead with a serious and calm expression, the sword in his hand had already been slightly out of body——

More and more monsters are stepping on the corpses of the previous monsters to squeeze out of the space-time rift, and new monsters are beginning to regenerate and split at high speed on top of their own corpses...

"Wow, that's disgusting~ I think I've guessed it, this must be the kind of monster that isn't very powerful in combat, but has super stubborn vitality and reproductive capabilities, right?

Is it similar to a deformed biological weapon that uses cannon fodder to consume the enemy's strength?"

Hei Shi was an experienced crew member. He had seen many similar enemies before, and he didn't feel panic at all.

Seeing Zhanshen's gloomy and sad face, he turned around and asked casually:

"Brother Zhanshen, do you know what they are?"

"...Yeah, I know."

Hearing Hei Shi's question, Zhan Shen took a deep breath and said faintly:

"They are all humans..."

After finishing speaking, a sharp sword light was swung out, sweeping out with incomparable power!——

"This is the end of human beings after they are swallowed up by their own greed!——"

Wherever the sword light touched, not a scrap of armor was left behind, everything turned into dust.

…·…·…

"Here comes the fun stuff."

Xing Ke looked at the images from the teleportation square broadcast live in the Water Mirror Technique, and looked at the monsters that had been swept away by God Slayer, and said with a smile:

"Based on the causal clues on Zhan Shen's body, I traced a world that seemed to be abandoned..."

In that world, or that planet, similar monsters are everywhere, the number is astonishing, and the branches they mutate are also diverse and exciting.

It almost gnawed away a planet that was originally rich in resources from the inside.

"It's a standard post-apocalyptic world, so I checked to see if anyone is still alive in the wasteland.

But guess what? The humans who originally occupied the planet are all still alive... they just changed their life forms."

"Is it the same as the [Zodiac] we dealt with before?" Illya seemed to understand, after all, she remembered not very good memories.

"It's a bit similar, right?"

The twelve that once stood at the top of the [Gastrula] group were all mutated from little girls who were used as test subjects in human laboratories.

Their bodies were forcibly fused with a variety of animal and plant genes. It was originally impossible to succeed, but due to the "gastroenterocytes", they were mixed together and finally became that Cthulhu-style appearance...

"This time the type of human seeking death may be a little more magical, but it's basically the same.

In addition to the life elements of various animals and plants, I found traces of another power with a higher level of life in the bodies of these monsters, eighty percent of which come from the same [individual].

If that creature had been independent and intact, I think it would not be an exaggeration to be called a [god] by humans."

Xingji shared the scattered information he observed.

"...human beings, no, former human beings, got the body of God from somewhere, and wanted to use his power to become gods themselves."

The short story about humans seeking death in Illya's mind immediately took shape.

"However, when humans become monsters, the level of life has indeed improved. At least the life span limit has been broken, and individual strength has also been strengthened... but they have sacrificed wisdom, rationality and civilization for this."

Xing Ke complained full of malice:

"But the results are a little better than those who invented gastroenterovirus."

Because it is certain at this moment that whether it is those who ordered the suicide attempt, the culprits who actually committed the suicide attempt, or the innocent people all over the world, all of them became "monsters" in a short period of time, leaving no lasting pain.

"This kind of mutation is quite magical. It starts from the spiritual level. Then it spreads through the ocean of human collective subconscious... just like a plague in the spiritual world."

This also explains why the non-infectious monsters wipe out all humans very cleanly and accurately.

"In the end, humans who lost their minds began to devour everything around them like wild beasts that instinctively seek to evolve, fusing plants, animals or similar species with themselves...
