"Are you fucking out of your mind!?"
The purple-eyed youth crawled out of the monitor in a rage, moving like a dark insect across the floor.
When he stood up, those dark, enchanting purple eyes stared fixedly at Lu Xun.
However, to his surprise, Lu Xun's behavior didn't look like that of a god at all; he was huddled in a corner, his eyes filled with incomparable terror.
"Holy crap, a ghost! There really is a ghost!"
Lu Xun pressed himself tightly against the wall, his body as stiff as a stone.
The purple-eyed youth rubbed his swollen cheek, looking at Lu Xun with a mix of surprise and suspicion.
What is this guy pretending for?
The purple-eyed youth thought for a moment, thinking that perhaps his appearance had made the other feel the fear of annihilation; after all, he was the God of Chaos, one of the most powerful gods in the world.
This time was different from the last; the divine power he could mobilize now was equivalent to half of his peak, while the other was still in a weakened state. Plus, with the element of surprise, the advantage was entirely his, no matter how he looked at it.
Thinking of this, the purple-eyed youth understood why the other was so afraid. A smile appeared on his face, his triumph making him forget the pain.
"Are you only now learning to be afraid? Unfortunately, your regret comes too late. I will turn the insult you gave me last time into double the agony and torture your body!" The purple-eyed youth laughed coldly.
Deep purple flames burned on his body, surrounded by dark purple light particles.
He raised his hand, and the air suddenly became violent. All the microscopic particles fell into an irregular riot, and the space here fell into complete chaos. He wanted to completely annihilate Lu Xun right here.
However, this abnormality only lasted for a second before everything settled down completely.
The chaos fell into silence, and even the dark purple light particles and flames of the purple-eyed youth were extinguished.
A look of intense confusion appeared on the purple-eyed youth's face.
Where was his divine power?
Why did he suddenly find himself completely disconnected from his divine source? At this moment, he was almost no different from an ordinary person.
"What's going on?"
Realizing this, the purple-eyed youth couldn't help but panic.
The divine source was his foundation as a god. Without it, he was nothing more than a high-tier conscious lifeform.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find where his divine source had gone, as if a thick mist was hiding it.
His expression became extremely ugly.
He seemed to have found the problem.
The problem was this world...
This was a godless world. All divine sources were suppressed by a supreme rule. In this world, all gods were just ordinary people who couldn't use their divine power.
"How can this be? How can such a world exist? This shouldn't be... Gods should be the core of the world, the origin of the universe. How can gods be suppressed? How can this be a godless world?"
The purple-eyed youth was in disbelief, like a human whose worldview had been shattered—unable to accept it yet forced to admit it.
He was like a child abandoned in a strange world, feeling so unfamiliar with everything around him, so out of place.
Lu Xun, still pressed against the wall, gradually calmed down. He looked at the naked purple-eyed youth in front of him and suddenly felt he looked familiar.
Suddenly, his eyes widened.
Isn't this the God of Chaos who was beaten away by him during the gathering last time?
This guy... he actually came out of the game?
Lu Xun seemed to realize something terrifying. He subconsciously held his breath and glanced at the pile of broken monitor shards.
No way...
Could it be that the game is actually a real world?
Is this weird guy in front of me really a god?
Lu Xun's worldview also took a massive hit.
The materialistic concepts he had firmly believed in for twenty years were now as laughable as a piece of crap trampled by an ass.
The two people who were just at each other's throats were now frozen in place, falling into a strange and long silence.
"Are you really a god?"
The two of them asked at the same time, their voices carrying a faint, imperceptible hope.
However, after asking the same question, they both fell silent again.
They had no idea how to answer this question.
Lu Xun's mouth twitched violently. It was fine in the game; he was used to bragging there, especially toward those NPCs made of code. He naturally had a sense of superiority over everyone.
But when a character from the game broke through dimensions and came to reality, he was suddenly at a loss for words.
Calling himself a god in reality would be too stupid.
What should he do? It seemed he was being confronted in real life by a game character through the internet.
At this time, the purple-eyed youth was also having a hard time. He was now almost no different from an ordinary person. A god without divine power had no right to call himself a god.
He even doubted if he would be beaten to a pulp if he rushed over recklessly.
As a genuine god, this was too embarrassing.
He wanted to go home.
He glanced imperceptibly toward the monitor, but looking at the shards, his head slumped in dejection.
He couldn't go back...
Unless the Plague God fully resurrected, he could return to the original world through the backup he left on the Plague God. But now...
He had to think about how to survive under the other's hand without his divine power.
The punch the other had landed on his face earlier was excruciatingly painful. That was definitely not the strength of an ordinary person. Fighting him would bring no benefit.
Better to slip away first.
Anyway, the other's connection to that world had been destroyed by him. This guy calling himself Xun Shen shouldn't be able to interfere with that world anymore, and no one would be able to stop the Plague God's resurrection.
As long as the Plague God resurrected, he could take the opportunity to possess the Plague God's consciousness and complete his own revival.
Thinking of this, the purple-eyed youth immediately made a decision.
He picked up a water cup from the table and threw it hard at Lu Xun.
While the other dodged, he ran toward the balcony without looking back.
As a god, his decision to run was quite decisive. It was hard to imagine a god making such a choice.
When he reached the balcony and prepared to climb over the railing, he subconsciously glanced down.
The sheer height of the floor made his legs go weak.
"Why is this building so tall?"
His face turned pale, and he pulled back the leg he had already stepped out. Now that he was just a mortal, falling from such a height would surely mean certain death.
The bright white moonlight in the night sky spilled over him, coating his naked body in a layer of silver radiance.
Dark purple light particles appeared again, his figure flickering between the illusory and the real.
"This is..." The purple-eyed youth was stunned.
Under the moonlight, he suddenly realized he had found his missing divine source.
However, he didn't feel any joy; instead, he was filled with intense confusion.
He looked up blankly at the bright moon and the scattered lonely stars.
Suddenly, he seemed to discover a terrifying truth, and his expression became incredibly horrified.
That horrified expression was even more shocking than Lu Xun's expression when he saw a "ghost."
"How... can it be like this?"
