Chapter 1121 - A Duel (2/2)

“Of course it’s possible. I can do that. Don’t you remember? I could carry your heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys. I’ve even created back-up copies of your kidneys and testicles… They’re still being kept in the System Storage Area,” Sir System argued confidently.

“…” Fang Ning instantly became speechless. He had forgotten the existence of this shameless being.

Thus, he had to forcefully change the subject back to his earlier topic. “Stop talking nonsense. I remember we’ve discussed this before. The Heavenly Axiom can only rely on external forces to repair itself, so we’re like a physician to the Heavenly Axiom.

“What it can do is to cooperate with the physician by taking the anesthetic to become anesthetized, or by training its body in order to regulate hormone secretion and improve its immune system… However, it cannot violate the Maxim by personally intervening and dealing with the gods and deities — that is, unless the gods themselves have violated the Maxim. Nonetheless, the gods and deities have depended on the Maxim to become gods, and they must’ve already studied it through and through, so how would it be possible for them to intentionally violate it?”

“Too long-winded. Not listening,” Sir System remarked directly.

“Anyway, this is the reality of the situation. It doesn’t matter whether or not you’re not listening.” Fang Ning was too lazy to talk about this further.

“Hmph, you’re just shoving false arguments down my throat. You’re not the Heavenly Axiom, so how would you know if it can’t manage to do this. Maybe your suspicions are all wrong since there isn’t any real evidence for them anyway,” Sir System said in detest. “You’ve even said before that the Heavenly Axiom and the saints are afraid that the gods will destroy the good and the bad alike, and bring the world to ruins. That’s why they don’t dare to make any direct moves.”

“Clearly, you were the one who said it.”

“No, at the time, I was just making a rhetorical question out of it.”

While the man and the system were staring each other down with contempt, the System Incarnation had already defeated the leader of the Heavenly Generals, directly killing the so-called Heavenly King…

“F*ck. This was way too fast. The difference is too big compared to that God of Plagues. Are the Heavenly Generals so weak in combat?” Fang Ning exclaimed in shock.

“Are you stupid or what? Have you forgotten that I’ve previously used thirty trillion experience points to strengthen the System Incarnation’s combat abilities?” Sir System said with despise.

“Uh, I’ve really forgotten about that. I thought you were just speaking thoughtlessly,” Fang Ning admitted, embarrassed.

“Hehe, I’m not like you. You’re always shooting your mouth off and stumbling about clumsily in all directions with no overall vision. How unreliable,” Sir System said with annoyance.

“Don’t worry. I won’t be like that anymore in the future,” Fang Ning promised before entering back into the casket.

“As if I would believe you.”

Fang Ning came out of the Chaotic Space and began to sneer at those Heavenly Generals again.

“You’re all capable of talking big, but your powers are nothing more than this. As expected, you’re just paper tigers who are to be defeated in one blow! If you can, send one more over then!”

When the eleven Heavenly Generals sensed that the presence of their Heavenly King leader had entirely disappeared in an instant, they were immediately dumbstruck.

This leader of Heavenly Generals, who had been guarding the Heavenly Pillar for a million years had earned a great reputation for his meritorious service. Yet, just like that, he was gone?

They found this utterly unbelievable.

“Something’s not right. This thing that has happened today is way too odd. How could the Heavenly King have agreed to a duel with this person? Guarding the Heavenly Pillar is such an enormous responsibility. How can it be taken as child’s play!” a Heavenly Guard said, flabbergasted.

“The Pantheon King has previously given the command to take extra precautions against a certain being. Could it be…” Another Heavenly General looked around at his companions with a meaningful gaze.

“Hmph. Sure enough, we must’ve been cast aside and left to be eliminated. I’m not guarding this place anymore!” One of the Heavenly Generals responded, seething with such fury that he threw the sword he was holding into midair before he disappeared.

The remaining ten Heavenly Generals quickly followed suit and disappeared at the same time.

They were, of course, aware of the punishments they would face for abandoning their duties, but in any case, the worst punishment was simply death!

Nonetheless, before disappearing, some of them could not resist leaving behind a few harsh words.

“Hmph, you won’t meet a good either! Whatever happened to the Heavenly King will happen to you later on!”

“If the Heavenly Pillar goes down, you won’t be let off so easily!”

Fang Ning was struck dumb by this scene as well. Were these Heavenly Generals retreating just like that?

How were they to even compare with the army troops of the mortals?

Although Prince Yue had experienced such great injustice, his troops did not so openly rise in rebellion. (TN: Here, the author is referring to a Han Chinese military general called Yue Fei, who had been sentenced to death by the Southern Song government under a false charge and was later granted the posthumous title Prince of È”鄂王”.)

As for these Heavenly Generals who had been guarding the Heavenly Pillar for a million years, were they really going to just abandon their duties after that uproar?

Just as what they had said, this was being taken as child’s play.

This situation was indeed a sign of the approaching doomsday, where the people’s hearts had been lost while the gods’ confidence was also on the verge of collapse.

After such a shocking turn of events, Fang Ning momentarily put aside his plan of directly toppling the Heavenly Pillar, and decided to seal it first instead.
