The Rule-Breaker of the Doomsday Game

"The intelligence you gave me was wrong!"

Flame arrived with an extremely aggressive tone. His furious expression almost managed to intimidate Qi Suian.

"There’s nothing wrong with my intelligence. You’re the one with the problem." Qi Suian could tell at a glance that the other was just looking for trouble.

If nothing else, his AI had already detected numerous Zombie Lords converging on his position through the reconnaissance network.

After ten evolutions, the Tai Sui God could support a reconnaissance network with a ten-kilometer radius.

"Gathering so many Zombie Lords to make a move... you think I’m an easy target?" As Qi Suian spoke, he unhesitatingly activated the Divine Purification Force Field.

’Trying to get the upper hand with a preemptive strike? It’s never that easy.’

’When you can’t intimidate your enemy, you just have to wait for the backlash.’

Flame’s expression changed drastically. Before he could even react, he was reduced to dust on the spot.

Not even the Corpse King-level Zombie Chunyu Hu had dared to face the Divine Purification Force Field head-on, let alone a mere Tier 6 Mutated Zombie like him.

"Since you’ve all come, don’t even think about leaving."

As Qi Suian spoke, ten Floating Cannons circled around him. Under the AI’s control, they coordinated with the Immortal Satellite and the reconnaissance network to begin targeted assassinations.

Many of the Zombie Lords were disintegrated by a Dark Energy Beam before they could even react.

The Divine Purification Force Field had a limited range, but the Floating Cannons’ reach was no less than that of a sniper rifle.

The entire process happened so quickly, but a number of Zombie Lords still managed to react, immediately turning to flee without hesitation.

Qi Suian now had ten Floating Cannons. Barring any surprises, he would likely gain one new Floating Cannon with each subsequent evolution.

Furthermore, as the Tai Sui God grew stronger, the cannons could rotate their firing to cool down, allowing for a seamless barrage, although only one Floating Cannon could attack at a time.

But even so, their rate of fire and range were far beyond what the Zombie Lords could handle.

In less than a minute, the entire group of Zombie Lords had been reduced to ash.

It was called a siege, but it was really just a dozen or so Zombie Lords. There weren’t that many Tier 5 Mutated Zombies to begin with.

"It would’ve been great if I could have turned them into fuel," Qi Suian said with a hint of regret in his voice.

But he also knew he didn’t really have the ability to capture so many Tier 5 and Tier 6 Mutated Zombies alive.

The Dark Energy Web did have the ability to entrap, but this entrapment was essentially a slaughter, a killing method that left the enemy with no escape.

It wasn’t truly meant for control. The interstellar Dark Energy Floating Cannon swarm was fundamentally a weapons module; it only filled in for shielding or control when absolutely necessary.

If there had been just one Tier 5 or Tier 6 Mutated Zombie, Qi Suian was confident he could have turned it into fuel.

However, with greater numbers came more variables, which could potentially endanger his own life. Therefore, he preferred to eliminate the threat entirely.

’But then again, they wouldn’t have just gathered together to attack me for no reason.’

’From picking a fight to sneaking in... if they hadn’t died so quickly, I... I mean, the AI would have had to fight them all alone.’

’So there’s only one possibility: the plot armor is forcing a conflict.’

’There’s a fortunate opportunity!’ Qi Suian’s expression brightened.

This was a good thing, especially since the powerful enemies had all been executed.

’So where would the opportunity be...’

He knew an opportunity had presented itself, but to avoid any issues, Qi Suian had wiped out the Zombie Lords so completely that they couldn’t even leave behind any last words.

’Since Flame was the one leading the charge, then the clue must be with you, Flame.’

He had no other suspects. After all, Flame was the only one he knew.

’Flame was occupying the original headquarters of the Divine Prayer Association. Even though I already cleaned them out and took off, maybe he found something else good.’

’AI, let’s move. We don’t want any accidents.’

Qi Suian urged his AI, then headed for Flame’s lair.

Upon arrival, he ignored the zombies and simply swept them all away.

It was a bit of a waste, but for the sake of the opportunity, it was worth it.

Using the Divine Purification Force Field, he completely cleared out all surrounding zombies and soon reached the central area of the Divine Prayer Association’s headquarters.

’Good thing I got here in time. Otherwise, this opportunity might have turned into a disaster.’

Before Qi Suian’s eyes was a giant Pillar of Flesh and Blood. Countless blood vessels pulsed across its surface, transporting some unknown substance, giving it an extremely grotesque appearance.

[Life Force of the Profound God (Incubating)]

[Quality: S (Evolving)]

[Trait 1: Undying]

[Trait 2: Indestructible]

[Trait 3: Divinity]

"Another piece of evidence for the Profound God’s existence," Qi Suian said grimly.

The three traits were concise, yet each one spoke to the extraordinary nature of this Pillar of Flesh and Blood.

’But I remember the last wisp of the Profound God’s life force was supposed to have been dealt with by the elders of the Divine Prayer Association. How could Flame have it?’

Flame was certainly no elder; at most, he was high-ranking leadership.

Qi Suian knew this information because the large trove of data he’d plundered from the Divine Prayer Association included research conducted by its elders on the Profound God’s life force.

Their own longevity was a result of relying on that very life force.

According to the records, it shouldn’t be this large—it was only supposed to be the size of a palm.

But now, it stood ten meters tall with a diameter of one meter.

’Either this isn’t the wisp of the Profound God’s life force that the Divine Prayer Association possessed, or they didn’t clean it up properly back then, allowing it to resurface after the organization fell apart.’

Qi Suian leaned toward the latter possibility.

If there really was another piece of the Profound God’s life force out in the world, it would have long since developed to a stage that even the Divine Prayer Association couldn’t control.

The Divine Prayer Association naturally had methods to keep it in check, which was why it had always remained palm-sized.

Now that the elders of the Divine Prayer Association were all dead, the high-ranking members lacked the corresponding technology to control it. This was what allowed the Profound God’s life force to grow to this extent in such a short time.

Even Flame himself probably didn’t know this thing was growing in his territory. After all, he had organized a team to deal with Qi Suian the moment he returned.

’Right now it’s classified as equipment, but "Incubating" means it’s a living thing. Looks like even the apocalypse game isn’t sure about the specific standards.’

’It starts at S-quality, it can evolve, and it’s a remnant of the Profound God.’

’So, can I absorb it with the Source of Profound Virus?’

As Qi Suian spoke, he took out the black jade that was the Source of Profound Virus.

This time, the black jade began to vibrate wildly, constantly transmitting a feeling of terror to Qi Suian, urging him to leave immediately.

At the same time, the Pillar of Flesh and Blood began to swell, and crimson eyes grew all over its surface, all of them locking onto the black jade in Qi Suian’s hand.

This sudden, bizarre change instantly put Qi Suian on high alert.
