Chapter 278: How Did You… Become a God?

Following the spacetime tunnel, the soaring Divine Light projected from the other side of the tunnel.

It was as if a golden cascade of light washed directly over Xisi.

The radiant Divine Light spattered outward from Xisi's body; several nearby Color Devil succubi fled in panic, while onlookers such as Helusu, Makado and others displayed varied reactions.

The loyal faction, irritated by the light, couldn't help squinting, while Helusu and the rebel faction retreated uncontrollably under the golden light.

At this moment, the only one still standing firm was the gritting-tooth Helusu.

Even though Helusu remained in place, the Divine Light emanating from Xisi forcefully crushed Helusu's own soaring Four Gods' evil light!

This scene even caused the once bustling battlefield to quiet down slightly.

Warships of both sides pierced directly by Divine Light passively received a Sanctification upgrade.

Rebel warships, if corrupted, have their corruption instantly burned clean.

If not corrupted, the crew aboard will, under the Divine Light passing through their bodies, be instantly shocked into devout kneeling.

Because in Helusu's promise to his followers, they stormed Terra to confront the Emperor precisely because the Emperor deceived everyone, claiming that this galaxy truly harbors a deity.

And the Emperor's method to ascend to divinity is to sacrifice all humanity!

But now, witnessing the exaggerated Divine Power that pierces spacetime and spans the void, everyone, once certain they are still alive, immediately reacts; the fact is...

Why does this differ from what Helusu said???

Humanity need not be wholly sacrificed; hasn't the Emperor become the Divine Emperor!

The only puzzling point among these matters is that the Divine Sun rising slowly from the battlefield now, the person within it...

Doesn't look like the Emperor!

Both sides of the battle, stimulated by this sudden Divine Light, retreated to opposite sides.

Even the fierce firefights farther away on both sides, amid the Communicator‑filled cacophony of panicked shouts, halted and looked toward the conspicuous Divine Light in the distant void.

"This... this is impossible!!!"

Helusu gritted his teeth and stubbornly stood his ground.

Even though the Four Gods continuously twisted his thoughts and reason, at this moment Helusu's eyes flashed a brief shock.

He could not believe it as he stared at Xisi before him and, at the other end of the tunnel, the continuously arriving 40K army.

This scene was almost like using reality itself to tear apart the rebel justification that Helusu had constantly propagated to his subordinates and firmly believed.

That the Emperor sacrifices all humanity to ascend to divinity!

Now that reality has shattered Helusu's argument, Helusu knows this war means total defeat for him.

Even if he still possesses the Four Gods' Blessing, even if powerful assistance from the Four Gods' great demons and Original Body demons remains by his side.

Yet the core of his rebellion, the massive Panbian Juntuán and Mortal Legion auxiliaries, have already become uncontrollably shaken by this scene.

Especially as the Divine Light finished transmitting, Xisi, bearing the surging Divine Light transformed into a sun, rose slowly from Longlin Star's surface, igniting a second proud sun in the solar system.

The watching rebel forces finally could no longer hold back; starting with some nearby Mortal Legion units, numerous warships and soldiers dropped their weapons and bowed to Xisi.

Then this action, like a chain reaction, spread outward with Xisi as the center.

Until some deeper Panbian Juntuán units, wielding Explosive Guns and chainsaw swords, forcibly steadied the Mortal Legion auxiliaries.

But they only steadied themselves; after all that, the Panbian Juntuán all turned toward the rising Divine Sun, their gazes constantly oscillating between Xisi and Helusu.

Feeling the countless scrutinizing eyes behind and even in the void, Helusu's face became even more frenzied.

As the core vessel for the Four Gods to achieve their aims, Helusu is the most deeply corrupted.

Now, facing the Divine Emperor's Divine Power sent directly from the 40K, the Four Gods are unwilling to be outdone, bestowing more Blessing upon Helusu.

At this moment, Helusu, with his increasingly raging anger, found the Divine Light on his body slowly rising again, no longer being suppressed solely by Xisi.

Even Helusu's body no longer maintains its previously normal human form, showing a tendency toward demonic transformation.

However, unlike the demonic transformations of individual evil deities such as Angelon, Fogrem, or Motarian, Helusu's demonic change, in order to see the rebellion through, astonishingly merged the Four Gods into a super demonic form in one breath.

The direct result is that, under everyone's gaze, Helusu also rose from the ground, not yielding, and raised a similarly conspicuous Evil Sun toward Xisi!

Moreover, since the Four Gods have officially ascended, their Blessing need not travel through the spacetime tunnel; they can directly bestow it upon Helusu.

And they need not worry whether Helusu survives afterward; as long as the task is completed now, that's sufficient.

Thus, after the Four Gods frantically poured Blessing into Helusu, his physical combat power subtly manifested a state stronger than Xisi's.

This scene also caused the rebels who had just knelt before Xisi to blink, then, while unnoticed, quickly stand up.

They then hurriedly picked up weapons from the ground and shouted again, "For the War General!"

"Did you see? I alone represent the true god!"

Helusu grimaced at Xisi; at this moment, his Divine Power and stature both surpass Xisi's by a head.

Even now, trying to prove he alone represents the right path, he speaks while looking down over Xisi.

Truly, he exudes an all‑around superiority over Xisi.

And after uttering that, seeing the surrounding rebels who had hesitated now all rally to his side again, Helusu shows no strategist's scheming or calm.

His face bears only emotion, his soul forcibly infused with the Four Gods' Blessing, twisted to an extreme grimace.

As the Four Gods' spokesperson, Helusu's emotions begin to spiral uncontrollably.

Facing Helusu's bluster, Xisi looks on helplessly at the opposite Helusu.

He does not retort directly, but instead poses a question.

"Do you think it's a four‑one?"

Xisi's voice is low, yet under everyone's attention it immediately triggers a massive chain reaction.

Everyone looks at Xisi in puzzlement, not knowing why Xisi would ask such a question now.

Even Helusu pauses, then can't help a sneer, about to retort to Xisi, "Isn't it four‑one?"

At that moment, the Subspace seemed to receive some summons, and in a place everyone had forgotten to watch, suddenly...

Two green proud suns lit up!

「You guys rely on numbers, beating our most Waaagh kid??? 」
