CHAPTER 27: CHAPTER 27: GOD? HMPH! I’LL MAKE SURE HE NEVER RETURNS

[The God of Sin, Derrodel, descended upon His loyal City of Sin.]

[Endless darkness enveloped His form, radiating a crimson glow. It was the Karmic Fire from the Abyss, shimmering with colors of destruction and despair. His form distorted and transformed, without a fixed shape, like a demon from a nightmare. His massive and terrifying body seemed capable of tearing through the veil of reality, unleashing endless pain and disaster.]

[This is sin itself.]

[Derrodel sensed that someone had stolen the Sinful Chalice, and He was furious.]

[Who?!]

[Derrodel’s voice was filled with a deep and vicious roar, making the world tremble. It was an evil sound that suffocated, filled with eeriness and mockery. As He roared, the stars lost their light, the sky cracked, and blood-like flames surged from the void, bringing about a terrifying apocalyptic scene.]

Ah, a level 150 small BOSS, depicted as if doomsday had arrived.

No need, no need.

Shen Sui sighed.

He originally didn’t want to take action.

When he initially drew the Alice Soul Card, he thought it would take a long time before facing the highest strength of the Dawn Continent.

Who would have thought, in less than a month, Alice was already facing the God of Sin.

Among the many divine-level BOSS characters in "Dawn Link," Derrodel was not considered the most charismatic, even one of the weakest. Even Vivian’s weakened version of Arianna had a level of 152.

Of course, since Derrodel could hold a position among The Gods without having His Divine Format taken by others, he did have some abilities.

Anyone unaware of His abilities, even divine beings of the same tier, couldn’t kill Him.

However, as a max-level player and a new-round player in this game, Shen Sui was thoroughly familiar with Derrodel’s weaknesses.

[Derrodel’s arrival led the evildoers of Modena City into a frenzy, further convincing them that Alice was indeed the true Sinful Saintess.]

[The believers’ thoughts affected Derrodel, and He, too, believed Alice was His most devoted follower.]

[Child, offer the girl by your side to me.]

[Derrodel issued a command to Alice, demanding Anna.]

[Anna trembled, curled up, hiding behind Alice, her soul consumed by fear and despair.]

[This was a god, a high and mighty god.]

Shen Sui actually had the power to instantly destroy Derrodel.

But doing so wouldn’t aid Alice’s growth.

He had to guide Alice, letting her think for herself, using every available resource to face difficulties.

[You explained to Alice the importance of the Sinful Chalice to Derrodel.]

[Either offer Anna, or defy the gods.]

[I will not betray my friends.]

[Alice did not hesitate to make a choice, even against a high existence she couldn’t possibly overcome.]

[As long as sin exists within Derrodel’s Divine Realm, He remains an immortal, indestructible being. You explained the characteristics of the God of Sin to Alice.]

[If you can find a way to reduce the sin within this city, then I’ll risk everything to try and help you kill Derrodel. However, if I do, I will fall into a long slumber. You’ve already lost the possibility of being revived due to the curse of the Sinful Chalice. If I fall into slumber, you’ll face this world’s dangers alone for a very long time...]

Taking down Derrodel wouldn’t take much effort from Shen Sui.

He was merely finding an excuse to let Alice feel she’d lose her protector for a long time in the future.

Facing crisis allows for faster growth.

[I will find a way. Alice was determined.]

[Alice raised the banner of the God of Sin and climbed to the highest point of the church.]

[Ladies and gentlemen, stand up, do not kneel.]

[Alice used the magic she learned from the Treasure Box to amplify her voice into everyone’s ears.]

[She raised the banner, pointed at Derrodel in the sky and proclaimed calmly yet full of fury:]

[This is a Pseudo-God!]

[A Pseudo-God created by The Gods to confuse us! He is not Derrodel!]

[Ladies and gentlemen! The Gods are afraid of us!]

[They would not hesitate to create a Pseudo-God to deceive and rule us!]

[Be angry, ladies and gentlemen!]

[The faith of sin shall not be trampled by anyone! We must rescue the true God of Sin!]

[Charge with me, ladies and gentlemen! Even if it means defying The Gods! We will not retreat!]

[For the great Derrodel!]

[Alice invoked "In the Name of God."]

[Due to previously established authority, the evildoers of Paiyiga’s gang firmly believed in Alice’s words.]

[They, dragging along other gang members, charged towards Derrodel.]

[Ding! You have obtained the Event Card: Defiance and Betrayal]

[Ding! You have obtained the Spell Card: Enchanting Speech]

Woah! So ruthless.

Shen Sui was somewhat stunned by Alice’s actions.

[They believe in you so much, sending them to their deaths, do you feel no guilt? You questioned.]

[Sin should be punished; my virtues do not allow me to collude with wrongdoing. I will not forgive anyone who hurts Anna and the villagers. Alice’s belief is exceptionally firm, without a trace of wavering.]

[Derrodel has been attacked, and He is very angry.]

[Divine wrath enveloped the City of Sin, directly obliterating those audacious villains who dared to defy Him.]

[Alice is locked onto by divine wrath.]

[Alice does not retreat; she charges towards Derrodel.]

[Insignificant humans, in the shadow of the divine, are like ants.]

[Derrodel’s divine wrath descends.]

[Claude!]

[Alice shouts your name loudly.]

[Claude?]

[Derrodel pauses for a moment; it is a name that disgusts and terrifies Him. To overcome this fear, He has gone so far as to build Modena City into His divine realm.]

[No, he is already dead!]

[Derrodel refuses to believe.]

[An unstoppable force bursts out from Alice’s body.]

[The formidable power shatters the divine wrath.]

Shen Sui lifts the corners of his mouth.

Hey!

It’s my time to perform!

He opens the input box and starts typing frantically, his typing speed rivaling that of him typing insults at his unskilled teammates.

[Do you understand the meaning of fire, Alice?]

[You have unleashed karmic fire.]

[Flame represents destruction, it represents hope.]

[It is the supreme power.]

[It is the strongest justice.]

[It will erase all sin and injustice in the world.]

[Let the flame purify everything!]

[A fireball engulfing the entire City of Sin appears above it, as if a sun suddenly falls upon the city.]

[Everyone can feel its scorching heat.]

[Watch carefully, learn well! Alice!]

[This is the true Fireball Technique!]

[Let the flames burn away all the sin of this city!]

[With your words, the enormous fireball suddenly descends.]

[Flames engulf the entire city instantly, like a giant crimson curtain. The buildings in the city turn into a sea of fire instantly, screams and terrified shouts echo from every corner, rendering the entire city a vision of hell. Here should also be hell, under the hands of these villains, countless innocents have also emitted screams and cries.]

[They never showed mercy, nor do the flames.]

[The flames rapidly consume everything in the City of Sin. The skyscrapers collapse, streets crumble, and flames spread to every corner. Flames, like the tongue of a demon, lick every piece of debris, turning everything into fiercely burning ashes.]

[The sky is stained blood red by the flames, smoke and dust fill the air, obscuring the brilliance of sunlight. In this sea of fire, the chaos and sin of the City of Sin are erased, leaving only a wasteland and a spread of ashes.]

[Once prosperous streets are now the remains of ruins, houses leaning and collapsing, streets burned to melted lava-like marks. The terrible heatwaves still rampage, making it hard to breathe, melting all solid structures, turning the city into a dead silent purgatory.]

[The streets are littered with countless charred bodies, villains buried together with the sins they committed in the wrathful flames. Their faces are scorched by the flames, limbs twisted, as if gnawed to the bone in the jaws of death. Their eyes filled with fear and despair, witnessing the arrival of destruction—just like the eyes of the innocents they had once killed had looked upon them.]

[The City of Sin is destroyed under your power.]

[This city that you built finally welcomes its true master, ending over a thousand years of torment.]

[You stand behind Alice, watching the city’s demise, your heart filled with melancholy.]

[Derrodel perceives the destruction of His divine realm, feeling anger and fear.]

[You look at Derrodel.]

[You use Twilight Symphony on Derrodel.]

[You kill Derrodel.]

[Compared to destroying the former Modena City, killing Derrodel is trivial to you.]

[You capture Derrodel’s Divine Format.]

In the setting of "Dawn Link," as long as there are believers, the gods are immortal and indestructible; even if dead, they can be resurrected from the Divine Format.

Such a very old fantasy novel setting.

In his past life, Shen Sui had complained in forums that the planners of this game were simply old-timers of ancient fantasy web novel novels, surely they had read works like "I Am a Great Mage" and "Otherworldly Great Mage."

Looking at other magical Soul Card Worlds, either following the wizard style, or the witch style, or the mysterious style, yet here in the Dawn Continent, stands out by highlighting the charm of classical stud fantasy novels.

Indeed, during Shen Sui’s first playthrough, he was never at rest, always on the move, and after installing mods, it was as if he was playing a small H game.
