Main God Creation Rules

One after another, not particularly loud voices repeated the same words. At first, nothing happened, but as the repetition increased, an oppressive atmosphere began to spread from the sky.

As if suppressed by something, the surrounding gale gradually subsided until it disappeared completely. All the rustling sounds were silenced by the repeated chants of "Summon the sword!" Against the increasingly deathly still backdrop, only the chanting of "Summon the sword!" continued unabated, until a certain moment—

"Xu Hongcai, disciple of Qionghua, request the sword!"

In the pitch-black night sky, a burst of fire suddenly erupted.

Sensing this, the swordsman, as if fleeing for his life, suddenly abandoned the mutants below and frantically fled backwards, wielding his magic sword. Just as the onlookers were stunned by this sight, they finally saw the source of the flames—

"Oh my god..."

What is revealed is half a "sword". The fire is the phenomenon of the sword tip rubbing against the atmosphere. Behind it is the "sword body" that penetrates directly into the atmosphere and disappears into a crack. No one can estimate its full length. However, this half that appears on the Earth's surface has already exceeded the height of the world's highest peak.

Against a silent backdrop, a flame that scorched a large part of the night sky fell to the earth, and the flash of light made the night as bright as day. Only after a long time could the deafening roar that tore through the atmosphere be heard.

The following day, while emergency earthquake reports and their extent of impact were being broadcast to the outside world, some people returned to the center, where terrifying high temperatures still lingered.

When the city ruins were found in the center of the depression that radiated more than 5,000 meters, there was no trace of the most powerful mutant left...

P.S.: I need some razor blades (blades) at 4 PM.

Marvel Universe: Chapter 866 Loki

With the defeat and death of Apocalypse, the first mutant in human history, this group that once held a place on Earth finally withdrew from the "stage" after seven months. To this day, no one can guarantee that there are no mutants left in the world. But even if they do, they will not foolishly continue to expose their "special" abilities and identities. Faced with more than 120,000 Swordholders scattered around the world, living out their lives in anonymity is almost the only choice they can make.

Meanwhile, the remaining traces of the fall in Egypt silenced the world. Regardless of one's perspective on this "most powerful mutant extermination operation," everyone was thrown into panic after witnessing the terrifying power capable of wiping cities off the ground.

In terms of "mystery," that attack was far too ordinary, lacking any mysterious magic arrays or incomprehensible elements—or perhaps that spatial rift torn open in the atmosphere? Yet, despite being so "ordinary," no one could come up with an effective solution.

The transformation from quantitative to qualitative change is best illustrated by the scene in Egypt. It was a simple conversion between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy, but when faced with kinetic energy levels that could shake the earth, the people who had to rely on the earth for survival couldn't think of any way to deal with it. Even detonating a nuclear bomb would only slightly slow down its fall, and whether it could push it away was still unknown.

Furthermore, given what happened in Egypt, when that "sword" actually falls on their heads, do they really have anything to do to make them launch a nuclear missile?

Amidst various anxieties and unrest, Earth, once in chaos amidst conflicts of interest and power struggles, has unexpectedly entered a period of peace and tranquility. During this time, both superheroes and supervillains tacitly reduce their presence... until a new "visitor" arrives.

"Loki, brother, I really didn't expect you to be alive!"

Thor embraced Loki, who had suddenly appeared before him, with overwhelming joy and comfort. Admittedly, there had been some conflict between the two brothers before, and it could even be said that Loki was the main culprit in Thor's banishment to Earth. However, after the destruction of Asgard, these conflicts could almost be ignored.

Can any hatred compare to the hatred of a destroyed home? Both continue to entangle themselves with their brother, who may be the only survivor, about the past, while Thor hopes to complete the revenge that still seems far away.

However, Loki, who appeared in an unknown manner and held a sword with a mysterious gem embedded at the top, clearly did not share the same thoughts as his brother.

Although he didn't resist the initial hug, he didn't show much friendliness or warmth after they parted. Instead, he spoke with a hint of coldness: "Thor, I will conquer this VI89午拔冥4?$=另呜world."

Loki's sudden statement startled Thor, whose first thought was that Loki was ill, and quite seriously so.

Putting aside the fact that it is impossible for the Guardians of the Nine Realms of Asgard to invade other worlds, the fact that only the two of them are left makes it impossible for them to do anything, not to mention that Thor himself has lost his Mjolnir.

“Loki, the humans who destroyed Asgard are not on the same side as the humans of this world. They also have their own conflicts and contradictions. We should unite with the humans who stand on our side to defeat our enemies, instead of treating them all as enemies. That would only make our hopes for revenge even more remote.”

Thor's heartfelt explanation received no response from Loki. Instead, it seemed to provoke him, as Loki spoke with a mocking laugh: "Thor, my brother, that's only true for you. Having lost the protection of Asgard, the support of the warriors of Asgard, your status as the son of Odin, and the hammer of Thor, you have nothing left. Besides being locked in a cage like this, you have almost no other recourse but to fantasize about revenge. But I am different—"

He raised the staff-like object in his hand, the gem at the top radiating a magnificent and mysterious light: "Setbacks did not discourage me. On the contrary, in this disaster I realized what truly belonged to me, and with that I received a gift from a powerful being in the universe!"

"Loki, you..."

“Thor, I’m not here to seek your approval this time. I just want to see your miserable state… It’s truly pitiful. Even if you still had a little bit of your former self, I would allow you to become one of the vanguard of my government on Earth. But it seems that when you lost your status as the son of Odin, you lost your honor and beliefs along with it.”

Thor's face turned red from the merciless mockery. He wanted to roar and punch Loki in the face, but the light emanating from the gem at the top of the staff prevented him from doing so. He was both angry and powerless, and puzzled by the powerful staff he had never seen before.

"You will stay here like an ant on Earth and watch as I conquer this planet and repay those humans who brought me disaster tenfold or a hundredfold!"

With a wild laugh, Logic left, brandishing his staff just as he had arrived.

……

Watching the 360-degree panoramic view on the screen, from Loki's sudden visit to his declaration to take over Earth, and then easily subduing Thor and leaving, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. made no comment throughout the entire process.

He neither rushed into Thor's area to warn him nor let any superheroes get involved; he simply watched the situation unfold until Loki's reaction was revealed and then disappeared from the scene.

"...Strengthen S.H.I.E.L.D.'s shielding capabilities. I don't want them to be able to point a gun at my head one day without me even knowing it."

"More importantly, what do you plan to do about what Loki said?"

Nick Fury glanced at Black Widow, who had also witnessed the whole thing, and casually replied, "I don't plan to do anything about it."

"Are you crazy? He's going to conquer the world!"

"My ears are fine, but so what? Are we going to send the American military to fend off a bunch of aliens who might have mastered space technology? Or are we going to send the Avengers superheroes to face an invasion of an entire world? Wake up, Natasha, the Earth is not the same as it used to be."

He paused slightly, then said, "Actually, I'm quite grateful for their appearance. At least it can quiet down those 'vicious dogs' that have their eyebrows circling above their heads for a while."

Marvel Universe: Chapter 867 Metropolis

Just as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. knew, after eliminating the last exposed mutant, the Swordholders fell into another bottleneck period, except this time it was not caused by internal problems—during the previous "rectification" operation in the country, those Swordholders who had similar ideas had been replaced.

This bottleneck was entirely caused by the external environment of the Swordholder.

Since acquiring the magic sword and becoming a swordsman, each swordsman has strengthened themselves by "slaying demons and monsters." However, demons and monsters are not like leeks, which can grow back after a crop. Although there are quite a few mutants born from the huge human population, they are still few when divided among the nearly 130,000 swordsmen. This is especially true as the swordsmen become stronger and their pursuit and killing become more efficient.

Seven months have passed since the Swordholders began their "war" against the mutants. Every mutant whose identity was exposed was killed in the name of "demon." This achievement of "cleansing the world" is certainly satisfying, but the Swordholders are now facing a situation where they have no more "demons" to kill.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no "demons" on this earth. Whether it is the mutants who hide as super criminals or the modified humans who have joined the government's forces, they are all "demons" and belong to the ranks that can be killed. This point was verified by the "Qionghua Sect Leader" when "Qionghua" was first established. What really troubles the sword wielders is how to deal with these "demons".

The mutants of the past were relatively benign. First, they targeted mutant criminals within the country, then they were semi-indulgently allowed to flee the country and connect with the Brotherhood, thus expanding the scope of the "mutant demon" to the United States. Then, they relentlessly pressured them to contact the Mutant Academy. When even the United States, the world's only superpower, was forced to acknowledge that mutants were illegal residents, it could be said that mutants across the entire globe had become "demons," and the Swordholders had enough "righteousness" to eliminate them.

However, seven months later, the mutants have disappeared, but the Swordholders encounter an unexpected situation when they begin to search for the next group of "demons".

Mutants and mutants may be hard to find in China, but they are plentiful in the chaotic metropolis of the United States. However, when the Swordholders turned their attention there, intending to capture a few "typical monsters" and escalate the situation as they had done with mutants in China, they found that this chaotic city was surprisingly peaceful.

For a whole week, the metropolis, which usually experiences three small incidents a day and one big incident every three days, didn't even have the most basic abnormal cases like bank robberies or hostage-taking. Lower-level incidents like kidnappings were simply planned and carried out by ordinary people, and they were arrested and dealt with almost instantly by police officers on 24-hour standby. The speed and efficiency alone completely surpassed that of any superhero.

"If these people had always done things this way, there would never have been any chance for superheroes to appear."

After watching the police force below skillfully handle a kidnapping case, Wen Junhui had no choice but to release his grip on the sword.

Upon hearing this, a fellow swordsman remarked with a hint of sarcasm, "Unfortunately, they do all this to protect those super criminals."

A seemingly ordinary case may contain the handiwork of a supervillain in a metropolis. As long as there is even the slightest clue, the Swordholders have a hundred reasons to escalate the situation to an unmanageable level—humanity's ability in this regard is second to none, even in the dimensional world. Once it is escalated to an unmanageable level, it can only be left to those who are capable of handling it. At that time, the Swordholders can usher in the second "demon-slaying" battle.

Unfortunately, the rulers of Metropolis seem to have anticipated this possibility, which directly cuts off the channels for the Swordholders to intervene. The highly efficient investigation and security system nipps all crimes in the bud. As long as the criminals do not possess superhuman powers, they can be detected and dealt with immediately. It can be said that no facility or institution established by mankind to prevent crime has ever operated as perfectly as Metropolis today.

Under such circumstances, the only supervillains capable of breaking through such institutions to commit crimes would not be foolish enough to run out from under countless looming eyes in the sky and cause a big scandal. Even if someone did act recklessly, they would be stopped by the other supervillains before they could take action.

Although they are called supervillains, these mutants and cyborgs also have a long-standing indicator of how long they have been living in this chaotic city.

For them, the worst outcome of committing a crime is failure and being arrested by the US government—which wouldn't lead to their death, because their existence still has meaning for the US government. Their physical specialties and the knowledge they possess are things they need, and they can use these to get good treatment, or even change their identity and leave prison. At the very least, they can "turn over a new leaf" and transform from super criminals acting for evil purposes into superheroes acting for love and justice.

A slightly better outcome than this worst-case scenario is being defeated by superheroes. Almost every superhero doesn't kill, unless the supervillain is really courting death and, despite already losing, still tries to threaten ordinary people to kill him, forcing the opponent to take drastic measures.

Often, if you have a good attitude towards superheroes and explain your reasons and helplessness, you might even be released without having to go to jail.

And now?

No one harbors any illusions when faced with the Swordholders roaming the skies above the metropolis.

In their eyes, these people from foreign lands were more like supervillains than any supervillain. At most, they would cause bombings, rob banks, or kill a few passersby. But what about them?

Over a period of seven months, from East to West, from domestic to international, from the top to the bottom, mutants, who have been spreading and taking root on Earth for five thousand years, were wiped out without hesitation or doubt.

This ruthless and reckless behavior can be said to have taught every supervillain a lesson.

When evil spreads under the guise of justice, it brings something far more terrifying than mere evil.

However, it must be admitted that for those who are completely unaware of what justice is, this kind of evil disguised as justice is more effective than any pure justice.

Marvel Universe: Chapter 868 New Secret Realm

"Compared to the secret realm, this kind of efficiency on Earth is far too low."

After another day of fruitless efforts, the swordsman traveling with him appeared somewhat anxious. He was not among the original swordsmen of the Seven Months Strong, but rather joined later after inheriting the magic sword. Moreover, he joined just as the Asgard secret realm opened, so he naturally had not experienced the difficult times when the original swordsmen struggled to make any progress.

"Can't we just be more straightforward? They're all demons destined to be killed anyway."

In comparison, Wen Junhui, who had experienced the entire transformation of the Swordholder group from China to abroad, was much calmer and patiently explained: "Understanding is one thing, but being able to do it is another. Although we all know that this is something that will happen sooner or later, we always need an excuse to start. As long as we are human beings and live in this world, similar things will be inevitable."

An impatient look appeared on their faces, and just as the swordsman was about to retort, the vibration emanating from the magic sword caught their attention.

The next second, a brief message entered my mind.

A new secret realm is about to open, come quickly!

---------segmentation----------

As the number of demons slain increases, sword wielders gain extraordinary power from their swords. The abilities they acquire vary greatly depending on the natural development and focus of each sword wielder. For example, sword wielders who prefer a one-hit kill will gain faster sword control, while those who are used to close combat will be more adept at agility.

However, despite their different focuses, the sword wielders also share some common abilities, such as what they call "sword control."

This ability, which every level three swordsman can use, grants them the ability to move freely in the sky without the aid of other tools. When Wen Junhui received the news of the secret realm, he directly flew back to the Himalayas from the United States across the ocean on his magic sword. The whole process took less than half a day.

Before him, many others had already arrived here, waiting for the new secret realm to open.

However, unlike last time, this time the one presiding over the opening was no longer the elusive "Qionghua Sect Leader," but rather the Blood Sea Sword, who had just been promoted to a level seven swordsman.

He didn't try to hide his true purpose from the Swordholders' doubts, but simply stated it outright.

"This secret realm is not the one that the sect leader opened for us last time, but rather an otherworldly realm that I sensed while traveling in my spirit. As for traveling in my spirit... I can only say that you will naturally understand what it is when you step into the seventh level."

The noise below subsided slightly as they awaited his explanation.

"As you all have felt, our situation on Earth has become increasingly difficult during this period. Of course, this does not refer to external oppression, as there is nothing on Earth that can oppress us now. Rather, it refers to demons—those alien beings that could help us grow stronger and gain merit have almost all disappeared."

"Mutants are demons, so we have gone from home to abroad, from the Brotherhood to the Institute of Mutants, from Magneto to Professor X—and even Apocalypse, the first mutant in human history five thousand years ago, have been killed by us from afar. But after killing all the mutants, we have found ourselves in an awkward situation."

"It is undeniable that for the Swordholders, there are no more targets on Earth to kill. Even if there are, they are not people we can easily oppose now. Individual mutants or modified humans are not worth paying attention to, but they have realized the power of justice represented by the Swordholders and have united to defy fate. We cannot easily attack them without a sufficient reason. If we really do that, we might risk a fight to the death against our own kind."

This is another reason why the Swordholders, even knowing that "demons" still exist on Earth, cannot openly fight each other without any reason.

At this point, Blood Sea Sword paused, "We lack a breakthrough, a breakthrough that can split us apart from within. Of course, if our strength is great enough to ignore all these threats, then naturally we won't need any breakthrough and can sweep through them with an honorable force. To do this, we need to slay more 'demons' to make more sword wielders even stronger!"

"The experience in the 'Asgard' secret realm must have left a deep impression on many people. Compared to Earth, which has too many ties with us, everything in the secret realm was simple and direct. We just had to rush in and kill everything we could see. Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts. As long as they are not human, they are demons—it is only natural for us cultivators to slay demons and monsters!"

"Now, during my spiritual journey, I have discovered another secret realm different from 'Asgard'. I have learned from the 'Sect Leader' that this secret realm is far less dangerous than Asgard. Although there is still a wind direction, we are capable of conquering it with our current abilities. I wonder if anyone is willing to join me in venturing there to slay demons and monsters!"

Without hesitation, Wen Junhui, mingling in the crowd, was the first to raise his hand, followed by the second, the third...

Before long, almost all the sword-wielders who arrived chose to participate.

Now that the Swordholder system has been in place for seven months, even the most naive person can roughly see that there is another competitive system between them besides cooperation.

Right now, you can run away, and no one will stop you; in fact, they will encourage and support you to do so. But while you are running away, others are moving forward madly.

As the sword wielders grow stronger, it's conceivable that the "demons" they face will also become increasingly powerful. Just like the first and second-level mutants in China before, to the Apocalypse mutants who have theoretically reached the eighth or ninth level, within this ever-expanding and powerful system, if you don't strive to become stronger, you could be killed at any time by an "accident"—perhaps by the strange methods of the "demons," or perhaps by an "accidental" attack from behind (there's no need to wait for you to "lose your Dao heart" and become a "demonder"; there are almost half the Himalayas filled with people who are prepared to inherit the sword).

In the current situation, who really dares to stop?

Of course, some did stop, but their fate can be seen from the fact that the swordsmen had changed four times in seven months.

"Very good, the secret realm will open in three hours. Everyone, get ready. After I use the power of the 'Heavenly Sword' here to open the gate, we will all charge in to slay demons and monsters!"

Marvel Universe: Chapter 869 Chitauri

Pain...

suffering……

Metropolitan Area, USA.

Walking down the bustling streets, with the power of the Mind Stone on his scepter, Loki, despite his "strange attire," was easily overlooked by everyone who passed by.

Witnessing this scene, so different from Asgard yet so prosperous, Loki, the Asgardian prince who had lost his status, power, home, and everything else, felt only boundless rage.

His hatred burned fiercely.

Loki will never forget the scenes of that day: being driven away, chased, knocked down, and even coming so close to death. If Odin hadn't pushed him out of Asgard at the last moment, there would be no Loki in the world today.

However, all this suffering did not destroy him; instead, it gave him new possibilities.

After being banished from Asgard, Loki did not fall into the vast void and turn to dust. Instead, he was discovered and noticed by a powerful being. Sensing the being's almost inexhaustible power, Loki unhesitatingly prostrated himself before it. In doing so, he gained power and authority that he had never imagined before.

A gem that can easily manipulate people's hearts, and an army that can control an entire planet!

Now, he has come to Earth carrying all the pain and suffering he has endured, vowing to repay everything he has suffered tenfold, a hundredfold! And the beginning of it all…

"right here."

The Mind Stone's power allowed him to easily infiltrate the heavily guarded research lab, and in full view of everyone, he took the square gem that was placed on the research table. Amid the belated gasps of surprise from those around him, he turned away with disdainful looks.
