Chapter 217: This Thing? I Don

"Damn it, I get it—he wants to become a god!"

Seeing that the area bombardment had achieved no results, the commander's expression twisted into a snarl; he leapt to his feet, snatched up the armor at his side, and as he sprinted, roared:

"No more delays—every combatant, deploy immediately!"

"Commander, aren't we supposed to wait for the mothership…?" The subordinate, sprinting alongside him, activated his gear; his question wasn't born of curiosity, but as a contingency protocol—given the commander's current demeanor, he was clearly going to risk his life, and while death was secondary, the real fear was that the arriving mothership wouldn't understand his defiance of orders.

"There's no time. The reason he's controlling the livestream is to become a god through mass observation. In the western superpower, many gods ascended by earning glorious battlefield achievements—he likely shares the same intent. The longer we wait, the more people believe in his strength, the higher his chance of success. Even with a one-in-ten-thousand probability, we can't gamble! One 'Guan Erye' already ties down thirty percent of our top combat power. Another one, and our frontline must contract. Then, if he keeps replicating this success, we'll be relentlessly compressed…"

With the contingency plan concluded, the commander's body swelled violently; his skin hardened like rhinoceros hide, merging with flowing liquid metal, fully encasing him into a six-meter-tall humanoid beast.

At that moment, every combatant above the third transformation within Giant He Xujie responded to the order, colliding with the automated forces before Feng Xue could fully destroy them.

"Finally, the main course?" Feng Xue casually tossed aside the remains of the mechanical spider, slammed his left foot down, and the mud pit spanning hundreds of meters erupted upward, surging toward the vanguard.

"An electric field? This is an electric field?" The commander's face showed disbelief at the auxiliary AI's readings, but he didn't hesitate—a force field solidified before him, his charging body like a battering ram, shoving the field wall through the "wave," causing intense electromagnetic interference that crippled the AI's stability—but the commander had already carved a trench dozens of meters long.

"Big dumbass!" Feng Xue's thought flickered—Seeing Mo Ying's Ghost Tripwire activated; the giant's body stumbled like a cavalry charge into a hidden pit, collapsing instantly—but just as Feng Xue prepared to seize the fallen prey, a figure shot out from behind the commander.

It was a multi-legged Giant He Xing with mantis-like grasping limbs, resembling a giant armored insect; its two scythe-like forelimbs struck with disciplined precision.

Feng Xue's form was instantly clamped—but at the same moment, the subordinate felt something was wrong.

A bamboo staff had replaced the intended target; Feng Xue now stood behind her, gripping Lei Ting…

"Shhh!"

The insectoid Giant He Xing's compound eyes gleamed with malice; the instant Feng Xue moved, his arm was severed by a high-tensile metal wire dragged behind him.

He didn't even feel the pain yet!

Yet…

Black threads surged from the severed stump on Feng Xue's arm; the Object Manipulation Spell clung to the stump, perfectly reattaching the wound. The regenerated power surged fully activated—the severed limb reconnected flawlessly, needing no adaptation; though its strength was half gone, Feng Xue's fingertip still tapped the insectoid Giant He Xing's back.

"Pop!"

Like a beetle struck by a flyswatter, the insectoid Giant He Xing plunged into the "mud pit"; bone-eroding, marrow-sucking yin lightning flooded through the armor's seams—his agonized scream was instantly drowned out by other Giant He Xing's charges.

The battering-ram force-field generator crashed with unimaginable force; Feng Xue was merely grazed—armor and flesh were crushed to pulp, but his hyper-speed regeneration constantly filled the missing tissue, and his spirit grew ever more exhilarated.

His locked lifespan and super-regeneration were his license to die—and under countless eyes, this regeneration would only grow stronger!

The entire neon-drenched wish, stirred by observational power, surged into a tide of wish-energy, converging upon Youta City, upon Li Su District, upon Xi Li Su.

Feline-like Giant He Xing burst from optical camouflage; avian Giant He Xing plummeted from the heavens; Feng Xue, viewing from over-the-shoulder perspective, took in every approaching enemy—golden lifespan numbers flickered and rose and fell beneath his gaze.

"Here!"

The rise and fall of lifespan confirmed the effectiveness of attacks; the instant Feng Xue generated a surge of offensive intent, the one that successfully reduced lifespan was instantly relayed by Seeing Mo Ying to Liu Yunxi.

Compared to Feng Xue, who was already ecstatic, Liu Yunxi was even more exhilarated—this scale, this chaos, she even felt it wasn't enough.

After all, this level of pressure was barely enough to cover her interest payment!

Seizing every critical moment Feng Xue delivered, her hundred-year-awakened physical enhancement talent exploded fully; even those third-transformation Giant He Xing who could move freely across the twenty-year Divine War battlefield were now being suppressed by Feng Xue alone—he laughed wildly, delivering lifespan-draining blows at every Giant He Xing within sight.

Every punch, every kick either killed or crippled; the effective damage the Giant He Xing inflicted on him was merely "superficial wounds" healed by a single flash of regeneration.

At this moment, had he thought the Giant He Xing would understand, he might have joked:

"Buddy? Wanna check out?"

"Can't this guy die? Impossible—even the few war gods in the Magic Capital Blitz couldn't bleed like this! There must be something we're missing!"

The commander, relying on his thick hide, simply bulldozed through the mud electric field without taking real damage; he refocused his thoughts—his gaze suddenly locked—

"Right—the statue! Attack the statue!"

Seeing the altar and Jade Rabbit statue behind Feng Xue, heavily protected by the electric field, the commander immediately marked it via pheromone command, then pushed his force field forward again, charging straight at Feng Xue!

"Weak! Weak! Weak!" Feng Xue stomped a serpent-like Giant He Xing into the yin lightning, feeling its convulsions beneath his foot—then he whirled around and saw a grotesque Giant He Xing, resembling a spider fused with a toad, crouched atop the altar, its two pincers reaching for the Jade Rabbit statue!

"Oh no!" Members of the Anti-Giant He Xing Front watching the feed screamed in horror; Lena felt a crushing guilt: "Why didn't I stop him?"

"Don't panic—look at him!" Xiao Lingdang's voice snapped Lena back; she focused—and saw Feng Xue… smiling.

"I told you—he doesn't need this. Remember the location. Later, retrieve the fragments. He doesn't want them, but they're valuable to you!"

"Fragments?" Lena blinked—then saw on-screen: Feng Xue, as if glitching, instantly teleported beside the spider-like Giant He Xing, snatched the adorable Jade Rabbit statue with brutal force, and burst into wild laughter:

"This thing? I don't need it anymore!"

The next instant, his fingers clenched—the statue shattered, leaving only a brilliant, luminous moon-white pearl clutched in his palm.

At this moment, the clouds parted, revealing the moon.

At this moment, the full moon hung overhead.

Wait—why are there two full moons?

That wasn't a full moon—it was a starship!
