Chapter 257 256: Demigod’s Approval

"Be like light and dust."

Although facing powerful enemies, He Guang Tongchen has always been uncompromising. If you don't ask me for my name, I will tell you the name.

However, this is the first time that He Guang Tongchen is as strong as the person in front of him.

He also knows very well that he has no chance of winning. This is a powerful existence that has blocked all life as soon as it appears.

No matter whether it is a strategy or a little cleverness, it is meaningless under such a huge gap in strength.

Therefore, when He Guang Tongchen said his name, he actually felt great fear in his heart.

This fear came suddenly, but he quickly overcome it.

The sword intent that dispersed in his eyes gathered again.

Theros knows the name Heguangtongchen.

On the strange train, a strange young man Jiang Xianwu appeared on the train and started a strange conversation with him.

But because there was a conductor he recognized on the train, and Jiang Xianwu's companion, he had a destiny that even he couldn't cut off...

So subconsciously, Theros thought that Jiang Xianwu was not simple either.

If he knew the truth of the matter, Zhou Baiyu would definitely find it very funny.

He thought he was protecting Huang Miu and that he provided Huang Miu's luck.

But in fact, being able to meet Theros and let Theros hear him say the name Heguangtongchen——

This kind of luck actually comes from him helping Huang Mi.

Theros memorized the name Heguang Tongchen, and that was why this invasion took place.

I asked for the name on purpose, just for further confirmation.

He Guang Tongchen himself does not know the real reason.

No matter what Ji Ye said, he felt that it was so dangerous at this time.

So that...

He didn't think at all that this was actually a "direct recruitment from the boss."

He is the one being interviewed.

The interviewer is none other than the demigod Theros.

"It's not bad that I can still move. The moment I decided to see you, I had already cut off your courage."

"But courage can always be gathered in a truly strong person. Now you are qualified to fight me."

Such qualifications do not come from recognition of strength, but from character.

"But you have too many ties. Try swinging a sword at me."

Heguang Tongchen, who smelled the opportunity, didn't ask too much.

He just clenched the sword in his hand, and his whole attention was highly concentrated.

Theros seemed to be full of flaws, but like Guang Tongchen, he just couldn't take a step forward.

At this time, Theros suddenly swung his sword first!

The sword was so fast that even He Guang Tongchen couldn't see it clearly, and it landed firmly on He Guang Tongchen.

But there were no wounds.

But just for a moment, He Guang Tongchen suddenly felt a strong desire to attack.

Draw the sword! Draw the sword! Draw the sword!

His desire to draw the sword was so strong that he looked like a bloodthirsty beast.

But even so, He Guang Tongchen still did not draw his sword.

He still chose to wait for the opportunity.

Until Theros actually turned around, his back to Heguang Tongchen, revealing a solid flaw.

In an instant, the aura of Heguang Tongchen completely disappeared.

Theros suddenly remembered this ability to absolutely disappear...

From the god of obscurity and night.

The old god that he once tried to challenge, but ultimately had no chance to meet.

A flash of cold light——

He Guang Tongchen's body flew out upside down.

The original "Corruption Must Die" in his hand was derived from the reward artifact for the SSS-level clearance assessment of Nightmare Bridge——

Broken.

This magical weapon that makes everyone in the world covet it, at the moment when Heguang Tongchen launches an attack on Theros’ back——

It was cut off by Theros's counterattack with one blow.

Looking at the neat gaps in the equipment that had followed him countless times, He Guang Tongchen was startled.

Not long ago, he was still sighing at the sharpness of this weapon, but at this moment, it was already a broken blade.

He Guang Tongchen picked up the broken blade and pinned it to his waist. He slashed across the sword. Although the weapon in his hand was cut off, he had no intention of abandoning it.

It seems to be used as a dagger.

He Guang Tongchen who once again "answered correctly" gave Theros a hint of recognition in his eyes.

He had known for a long time that there could not be a powerful person in Longxia territory. Once he became a god, the barrier would be broken.

So he actually knew very well that He Guang Tongchen couldn't be that strong.

In the eyes of Theros, this young man cannot be said to be weak, only to be said to be powerless.

But more and more, Theros felt that the other party fit in with him.

"You're not bad, but I said that there are too many ties. Next, I will cut off these ties. After I completely become a god, I will leave behind a mysterious treasure. It is my sword.

"

"There are very few people who are qualified to respond to it, and you are one of them. As long as you give up these ties, you can become my will in the world. Become the successor of the will of Zhan."

As he spoke, Theros raised his knife.

Compassion, fear, tolerance, kindness, friendship...

These conscious things became concrete the moment Theros raised his sword.

Heguang Tongchen can feel that some invisible things are condensing bit by bit.

This feeling is really bad.

It was as if the moment the opponent raised the knife, he was already a dead man.

The opponent's slash is as inevitable as fate.

But He Guang Tongchen had gradually overcome that fear, and he tried his best to maintain a defensive posture with the broken knife in his hand.

Even though it was completely impossible to dodge the opponent's slash, he still gritted his teeth, tensed his nerves, and concentrated his whole body to prepare to dodge the opponent's blow.

This time, Theros made eye contact with Heguang Tongchen, and Theros frowned slightly.

He seemed to see someone incomprehensible.

There is such a person...

Theros found it incredible.

He had killed many people in his life, and his sword-like eyes saw through countless people's weak courage and false kindness.

So much so that he felt that human beings would always abandon some of the most correct practices in order to disguise themselves and cater to the mainstream sense of goodness.

For example, to survive in the apocalypse, it is obviously best not to have any burdens, but there are always people... who need to bring a tow bottle.

They think this is love and responsibility.

But when disaster strikes, human beings will tearfully abandon the bottle of oil.

Theros recalled being like this when he was a child.

When his father decided to abandon him, he was actually very calm.

That was in the origin world, a world where humans, demons, and corrupt species coexisted.

After the death of the King God, the rules of the world were distorted and chaotic. Without the protection of the old gods, some humans became corrupt species, and some humans began to flee everywhere.

Among them, including Theros, who has not yet become a demigod.

"Dad, you should have abandoned me from the beginning. In this way, you will have more food along the way and your progress will be faster."

"If you wanted to abandon me, you should have abandoned me a long time ago. Why give people hope and then despair?"

When dozens of corrupt species appeared that had experienced despair before starving to death and were infected by the poison of corruption, Theros's father decided to sacrifice his own child in order to survive and let Theros serve as bait.

Theros agreed.

After that, Theros felt that emotions were an obstacle imposed by humans.

He didn't hate his father for abandoning him, he even felt that his father was stupid and abandoned him too late.

This is what Theros was thinking at that time.

In the end, under the siege of countless corrupt species, Theros, a human, died...

Theros, a corrupt species, was born.

His ability is to cut. He can cut off many abstract and conceptual things freely.

His cutting is a kind of destruction and abandonment.

Give up those things that are meaningless to you, and make yourself purer by cutting them off.

Theros has always believed that his strength comes from giving up.

But at this moment, when he looked at He Guang Tongchen, he was slightly confused.

Friendship, family, and all kinds of human ties, after these things were materialized, what Theros saw was a star.

This star emits strong light, and these lights illuminate courage, calmness, wisdom, and the desire to become stronger.

Those things that were supposed to be "oil bottles" turned out to be energy sources, constantly providing energy to those things that Theros believed should be retained.

For example, traits that are beneficial to survival and fighting, courage, calmness, and wisdom, these things become shining when they are tied down.

This suddenly made it difficult for Theros to swing his sword.

Because after he cut off all the ties between Heguang Tongchen and Heguang Tongchen with one stroke... Heguang Tongchen not only would not become stronger, but would instead become weaker.

Theros is incomprehensible.

It's not like he hasn't seen people who attach great importance to "emotions", but in the face of life and death, he has seen everyone who is willing to give up everything to survive.

There are no exceptions.

Maybe cutting something off will make people very painful, but it also means that the person's "weakness" is gone.

Some people put dignity above all else, but dignity will not bring him much power. On the contrary, once his concept is cut off, when he is able to give up his dignity...

This person's potential is often higher.

Theros has killed countless people, and like Heguang Tongchen, it is not like he has never seen someone who can provide a source of power...

But he had never seen anything so pure. So pure that those ties were like stars in his heart.

He will not cut off the brightest thing in a person's heart, even his opponent.

Theros raised the long black knife high, but he never lowered it.

He suddenly recalled the most powerful god he had ever encountered in his life - the God of Time and Space.

Theros, who once challenged the leader of the old gods, the God of Time and Space, was defeated miserably by the God of Time and Space...

But his performance has surpassed many gods.

Today, he is purer than then and can cut off more things.

But every time he recalled the God of Time and Space, he would think of those words, which is what he was thinking of at the moment -

"While you were slashing at me, I traveled through your life. Theros, you can't defeat me... because you simply can't find the meaning of defeating me."

"Maybe I should send you back, send you back to a certain time, and change some things. Maybe if your father didn't abandon you at that time, but because you became stronger... you might understand that strength comes from protection."

"But at this time, I can't do such a thing for you. My energy has to deal with greater threats."

"Theros, go back. You can't touch me again until you understand."

The result of that battle was that Theros felt the absolute control of time from the strongest old god, and was ultimately defeated miserably.

He thought he could cut off time, but cutting off time itself also takes time.

And in this gap that requires time, the God of Time and Space has endless time to solve anything.

This is the peak combat power of the old gods.

After that battle, Theros has been confused, but he has given up a lot.

What is thrown away cannot be found again.

Now Theros sees that he is the exact opposite of himself.

He suddenly realized that this was an opportunity for verification.

"Perhaps I should try it here."

The knife fell.

This knife cut off He Guang Tongchen's cognition, his memory, and his judgment of his surroundings.

After the stabbing, when He Guang Tongchen came to his senses, he saw Zhou Baiyu, Ling Hansu, the sly woman, the mules and horse kneeling soldiers, the muscular lawyer, etc... people from the Baichuan Guild.

These comrades in the guild have experienced life and death with him, they are the source of his strength, and they are the people he is willing to risk his life to protect.

When he saw the sword falling from the sky, Theros slashed the pitch-black blade down on Zhou Baiyu—

He Guang Tongchen seemed to have completely opened all the shackles on his body.

The aura of the dark night suddenly opened up! Together with it, he used the two strongest techniques that He Guang Tongchen could master at this stage: Invisibility without Trace and Deprivation of Five Senses.

The night has come, and in Theros's eyes, he was as slow as a turtle crawling like light, but his speed suddenly became a little faster.

Even though such speed was meaningless, in his eyes, everything still seemed to be still.

But because of this, Theros saw a new possibility.

Not long ago, Theros saw the calmness, reason, and courage of He Guang Tongchen.

He thought this was someone very similar to himself.

But now, he discovered that there is another possibility for being with the light and the dust.

It turns out that this young man's strength really comes from those things that should have been abandoned.

Bang!

The world around him suddenly shattered. The whole world was covered with sharp slash marks, and the world was shattered into pieces along the marks.

When He Guang Tongchen suddenly woke up, he found that he and Theros had not moved at all.

Everything just now was just an illusion.

Obviously, Theros is not a being who is good at hallucination attacks.

It's just that the power gap between the two sides is too huge, so that the other side can easily suppress itself even if it uses methods that it is not good at.

Conceptual things can be cut off, but they will be restored quickly.

The speed at which Heguang Tongchen regained his sanity and clarity was shorter than Theros expected.

He cut off many of He Guang Tongchen's thinking abilities, so he could use a simple scene to make He Guang Tongchen believe it to be true.

He did see the scene he longed to see.

Finally, Theros no longer concealed the admiration in his eyes.

Maybe it was the words of the God of Time and Space that made Theros feel that he should change his direction. Maybe it was the words of the God of Time and Space that made Theros's eyes brighten.

In short, Theros is not looking for the next Theros.

"What is the difference between the slash of protection and the slash of abandonment? When I become a god, I will look at you in a regular form."

Before He Guang Tongchen understood the meaning of this sentence, he felt a majestic pressure coming over him.

Theros raised the saber in his hand with sharp eyes:

"I can finally challenge the gods, but before that, I will leave my last knife in the world."
