Chapter 349 Killing Si Di - Socially Anxious Witch in the Apocalypse

In Irena's livestream, the audience is witnessing history unfold. [Sun Jia Ke]: "What the heck, did the Illuminati summon a god with magic?" [Bai Yu Ming]: "I'm scared just watching this from the screen." [TomJang]: "Irena, run! If you don't, it might be too late." [Ben Ren Jia Nai Duo]: "I wonder if Irena is scared..." [Witch Lily Bell]: "I hope the shockwave has a bit more gust to it, so I can hehe... enjoy it more." [Ancient Adam]: "Seriously? Still time for perverts?" [Doris' Quantum Kitten]: "Why is there a god? Irena, you must run." [Qian Ying Mi Meng]: "Will Su Miao and Si Shu be alright?" [Magical Girl Aminos]: "!!!" ... [LoET]: "..." [Female Imp Camellia Sauce]: "No way, did the god just explode?" [Lonely Dream in the Clouds]: "The shockwave is coming, Irena, run!" ... Su Miao had just shattered the divine silhouette, and the destructive shockwave raised a three-meter-high wave of dust, roaring toward them. Even though Feng Xiao Shi was ten kilometers away from the epicenter, the shockwave’s intensity was still terrifying when it reached them. The viewers in the livestream were filled with worry, urging Feng Xiao Shi to escape. However, escaping at this moment would only lead to injury. Feng Xiao Shi conjured a staff from thin air, channeling magic to enhance the pre-laid magical barrier. Boom! The fearsome shockwave crashed over, but it was completely held at bay by the magical barrier. From an elevated vantage point, Feng Xiao Shi's magical barrier stood like a steadfast pillar amidst the storm, unyielding, as the destructive shockwaves continued to surge past on either side, an awe-inspiring spectacle. [Zhi Cang Zhi Nai]: "Blocked, it's blocked!" [Ke Hua Diver]: "Irena is amazing!" [Midnight Thousand Soul]: "Wow, that scared me. Even the battle's aftermath is terrifying." [Miao Pas TQ]: "Is this really a battle between humans?" [A Certain Deep Water Creature]: "This is freaking spectacular!" [Hui Mou De Ling Mo]: "Su Miao is incredibly powerful; she can even shatter a god!" ... [Spicy Pepper Leader]: "What happened? Did Su Miao fall?" [I Think I Can Joke]: "???" [God Chef Aier]: "I couldn't see clearly." [The Braid of the Paramecium]: "Is that possible?" [Lava Boiled White Rabbit]: "Oh no, it's Si Di! He didn't die earlier?" [Sapper No. 1 Q Empty D]: "I thought Si Di had already been blasted apart." [Star Collar]: "Despicable, Si Di is attacking from the shadows." ... After the shockwave passed, Feng Xiao Shi put away her staff and looked towards the battlefield. She saw Su Miao falling, and Si Di emerging unscathed from beneath the ground. He said, "According to reliable information, Si Di can manipulate gravity, control the earth, and devour all things." "Among these abilities, his 'devour all things' skill allows him to absorb others' abilities and permanently make them his own." "Si Di's intact survival is related to the abilities he's devoured." Feng Xiao Shi checked her phone for the latest intel, "New reliable information states that Si Di has devoured the abilities of 5,800 individuals, all recorded in the archives." [Han Feng Lin Yue]: "5,800 people? What a monster!" [Poteto1024]: "That's just the ones recorded in the archives; there could be more unrecorded." [Nian Zhui Xing De Xi Er]: "What kind of demonic organization are the Twelve Division?" [Taro Fishball]: "Scary~" [Decision Mivo Sound]: "Now that you mention it, I remember some strong individuals I used to know suddenly vanished." [Non-sin]: "(Quiet reminder) Haven't you noticed, in Si Shu's vast library domain, there are at least 100,000 books, each representing an ability holder, not even counting the scripts." [3Xxus1Ai]: "But Si Shu is adorable though." [Braised Asteroid]: "Do you know Yangshan Refuge? The Twelve Division's leader killed over 140,000 people there in one go..." [White Haired Beast Ear Different Eye Flat Loli]: "Both Si Tian and Si Di are monsters!" [Lazy Little Fire Dragon]: "Will Su Miao be okay?" [Panda Tony]: "30 times gravity is too dangerous!" [Your Turn to Cook]: "Irena, will Su Miao be able to stand again?" ... Feng Xiao Shi looked back towards the battlefield. She saw Su Miao rising once more, wielding a reforged silver sword. The livestream audience erupted in cheers. [Origami Umbrella]: "Su Miao stands again!" [Tao Ran Boosted Spirits]: "Come on Su Miao, take down Si Di!" [Ben Ren Jia Nai Duo]: "Destroy Si Di!" [Gray Corrosion]: "Irena, if Su Miao plans to unleash another nuclear blast, shouldn't you evacuate?" [Moon Drunk in Jade Palace]: "Some who ventured into the ruins revealed that Su Miao bombarded Si Di with three massive purple fireballs, but Si Di remained unscathed." [Expired Pudding]: "Wow, for real? That's overpowered!" [Joyous Season]: "Top-tier power users; is anyone as absurd as Si Di?" [North Sea Boundless]: "If even a nuclear blast doesn’t faze him, how can Si Di be killed?" [The Braid of the Paramecium]: "Irena, can you defeat Si Di?" ... Feng Xiao Shi glanced at the floating comments, stating, "Si Di's abilities are absurdly powerful, but he remains a mere mortal. As a mortal, he can die." There was one more thing Feng Xiao Shi didn’t mention; Su Miao could obliterate even the silhouette of a god. Yet Si Di, with all his tactics, couldn't suppress Su Miao. The outcome remains uncertain. "I previously released a research report on abilities that some might have read, but it's fine if you haven't." "Between power users, there can be mutual suppression. Si Di has devoured so many abilities, granting him near-invincible power, covering many vulnerabilities and flaws. But with so many abilities, there will inevitably be one or two weaknesses." "If Su Miao can locate such a weakness, defeating Si Di would become much easier." ... [Hui Mou De Ling Mo]: "I've read that report, but Si Di’s power now seems unbeatable." [Illusionary Tide]: "Go Su Miao!" [Regalia]: "Irena, can you discern Si Di's weakness?" [Rabbit King]: "Go Si Di! Crush the pink demon!" [Vergil]: "Come on, Rabbit." [Su Ling]: "So tense! Go Su Miao!" [1534655868955767]: "Isn't there any other strong contestant? Finish off Si Di!" [Lonely Dream in the Clouds]: "!!!" [Faithful Word]: "Praise the sun, for it alone is eternal!" ... On the battlefield, Su Miao stood once more, wielding her reforged silver sword. Though a 30x gravity domain loomed, the natural flow of her Tai Chi heart technique effortlessly dissipated this oppressive force across the ground and surrounding air. From Si Di's viewpoint, the air around Su Miao appeared extremely distorted. Si Di was trouble-stricken. In the ruins, Su Miao had revealed her prowess as a land immortal of martial arts, severing a hell demon's silhouette with a single sword strike. After that, Su Miao put away her silver sword, leading Si Di to conclude she couldn’t unleash such a strike again swiftly. But now, Su Miao held the sword once more. What kind of joke is this? Even though his body, with various devoured abilities, could metallicize, rendering it harder than diamond and capable of enduring Su Miao's staff strikes unscathed, he still lacks confidence to withstand a sword capable of obliterating a demon silhouette. Si Di couldn’t comprehend; didn’t Su Miao just exhaust her magic shattering the golden deity's figure? How does she still have the strength to stand? Is it just posturing? "Luo Dongjie, your death has arrived." Si Shu spoke from the rear. Pages unfurled before her, revealing one ability holder after another, fearlessly charging at Si Di despite his gravity domain. Although Su Miao was upright, Si Shu was uncertain about how much strength she retained, and thus sought to buy her as much recovery time as possible. "Hmph!" Si Di raised his hand, crushing these ability holders within his gravity field. A few who nearly reached him were effortlessly extinguished by a dismissive wave of his hand. "Su Cheng, in my gravity domain, how much cannon fodder do you have for me to kill?" Though he taunted, Si Di’s focus remained on Su Miao, contemplating how to eliminate her. Si Shu continued flipping pages, saying, "Rest assured, there's plenty more." This time, among the ability users released by Si Shu, a few cultivators appeared. They struggled against Si Di's 30x gravity domain for a few seconds and unleashed their strongest attacks. Si Di raised his hand, shattered a flying sword, neutralized a few attacks, but sidestepped the lightning strike. His actions seemed perfectly reasonable, without any flaws. Su Miao watched without change in expression. She recalled when the golden deity's apparition descended, lightning filled the sky, and similarly, Si Di only evaded and never took a lightning strike head-on. Could lightning be Si Di's weakness? Su Miao blinked, raised her left hand, causing the surrounding weather to stir as endless clouds converged. The massive cloud pressure descended like the deep sea, suffocating all beneath it. The technique from "Heaven Cloud Path" manifested once more under the Tai Chi heart flow. Boom! Under the terrifying atmospheric pressure, Su Miao ascended slowly into the sky, her aura as a land immortal fully revealed. Si Di looked on, both shocked and angered, needing to stop Su Miao. "Luo Dongjie, look at the gift I've prepared for you," Si Shu chuckled, sweat beading on her forehead, as she quickly flipped a page in her book. In an instant, two stunning golden butterflies emerged, zooming to Si Di's front, bursting with tremendous power. "What is this?!" Si Di noticed the golden butterflies, his expression shifting. Caught off-guard, the butterflies radiated endless scales, weaving a peculiar illusion before Si Di. He saw his deceased parents, siblings, relatives, and friends standing before him. These kin pointed fingers at Si Di, some even cursing him. "Luo Dongjie, why didn't you protect us?" "Dongjie, we're dead, and it's terrible! Why haven't you avenged us yet?" "Jie, I trusted you, moved to the Luo Family base, but I died, died such a horrible death." "..." "Su Cheng, you're courting death!" Si Di reacted first, shattering the illusion. "As expected of Si Di, breaking my butterfly illusion in just 3 seconds," Si Shu laughed. Three seconds? Si Di's expression changed. He looked up to the sky, seeing Su Miao standing coldly in mid-air, infinite clouds gathering and interspersed with terrifying lightning. This was Su Miao's plan. Not knowing thunder magic or martial arts, she'd refer to the scientific principles of lightning, using her mastery to call natural lightning to strike Si Di a few times. The only problem was the inability to precisely control the lightning. Rumble! Within the clouds, thunderclouds clashed repeatedly, generating even more terrifying lightning. Crack! Suddenly, a lightning bolt as thick as an arm tore through the sky, striking near Si Di, gouging out a large crater. Si Di looked at the falling lightning, laughing, "Su Miao, are you aiming to become the Mother of Lightning up there? But your accuracy is poor!" Despite his words, inside, Si Di was horrified. He clearly saw that Su Miao wasn't using an ability or magic to summon lightning; was it a martial art? Legends spoke of land immortals communing with the heavens, and the heavens responding to them. It might be true. Moreover, while lightning couldn't harm him, it was indeed one of his weaknesses. If struck in this battle, it would be troublesome. In the past, Si Di would've retreated. But now, having consecutively vanquished two divine apparitions, Su Miao was unprecedentedly weak—this was the best opportunity to kill her. Si Di had a hunch if he didn't kill Su Miao now, there'd never be another chance. "Antonio, Krosh, won't you make a move?" Si Di shouted. The Light Conclave's two fools, who holed up watching after their magic barrier was broken, showed no signs of aiding. Grand Magician Antonio Ochoa and High Sorcerer Krosh Stam's faces darkened, disgusted that Si Di had the nerve to call for backup after slaughtering their comrades without helping them. At this moment, all the heavenly lightning descended, targeting Antonio Ochoa, Krosh Stam, Si Di, and Si Shu indiscriminately. "Wow." Si Shu, holding her book, was speechless. She employed her usual tactics, sending out ability users from her book to shield against the lightning. The lightning struck, and as a result, the 30x gravity domain Si Di had deployed was no longer in effect. Si Shu glanced at the Light Conclave magicians, swiftly turning a page. Two beams of light streaked forth, causing Antonio Ochoa and Krosh Stam, caught in the lightning, to tremble all over. Unbeknownst to them, somewhere in their bodies lay a unique mark resonating with an eerie light. Krosh Stam, the high sorcerer, faltered first, instantly transforming into a book. "No! No! No!" Antonio Ochoa, blessed with formidable mental strength and soul, struggled valiantly, but succumbed within a second, struck numb by the descending lightning. In that instance, he too transformed into a book. Si Shu raised her hand, gathering the two books. These books, created from the Light Conclave's mightiest, were of immense value. Si Di had hoped for a little more help from his allies, never imagining they'd be turned into books by Si Shu without making a move. His gaze shifted to Su Miao in the sky, a growing urge to retreat in his heart. 【Damn pink demon, let’s go all out!】 【Wait, my emotions are being manipulated.】 【The golden butterflies earlier!】 【Si Shu!】 Si Di immediately sensed something was amiss. Yet before he could react further, a thick column of lightning struck, rendering him motionless, his emotions thoroughly restrained. Si Shu waved, "Luo Dongjie, my golden butterflies are more than just illusions." Caught in the lightning’s baptism, Si Di stood immobilized. With his mixed abilities, his body was nearly invincible and highly conductive—a drawback. If excess electricity coursed through, his body would numb, his movements rigid, requiring time to recover. In this state, Si Di's myriad abilities would falter. Including all his survival capabilities. But that didn't matter, for Su Miao's alloy staff couldn't injure him; the sword should be unable to breach his defenses either. Even if his defenses failed, he possessed the world’s strongest regeneration ability. To obtain it, he had paid a heavy price taking someone’s life long ago. To describe it—if bashed to bits, lifeless, with just bones remaining, he could regenerate in time, restoring anew. If still conscious, recovery would be faster. Such was Si Di's belief, his last hope. Heaven Cloud Path: Converge, Myriad Swords into One! In the heavens, Su Miao's cold expression remained unchanged, gathering endless clouds, forming countless swords, then consolidating them into a single sword. In a moment, the sword light surged, resembling a comet streaking across the sky, tearing through the void, whistling through the skies. Unbeknownst to others, the silver sword pierced Si Di's head. Si Di stared at Su Miao, unable to fathom how her sword could breach his defenses. In that moment, he longed to resist, but the electricity coursing through him rendered him immobile, forced to watch as Su Miao’s true essence propelled the silver sword through his skull. The devastating sword energy ravaged Si Di's brain. Vaguely, he glimpsed a bloodstained silver lance impaling a dark god. Later, Su Miao would slay this dark god in the same ancient temple. The bloodied silver lance had been reforged into a silver sword. The pink demon Su Miao could kill a god back then? Si Di, for all his invulnerability, was still human! No wonder his regenerative abilities were nullified. 【I am unwilling!】 His consciousness scattered, his soul shattering. In his dreamlike state, Si Di, Luo Dongjie, saw his beloved great-grandmother. His great-grandmother gazed at him with kindness, beckoning him over. Luo Dongjie felt the warmth he'd longed for. He wore a blissful smile, approaching his great-grandmother, taking her hand, following her into the shadows. ... Su Miao resheathed her sword, standing still. Si Di, Luo Dongjie's body fell backwards with a thud. "Su Miao, let me take something before dealing with his body," Si Shu approached quickly. Su Miao nodded briefly, not inclined to speak. From the innards of the Mountain Elder's relic to its outside, she had consecutively slain the Hellish Demon God apparition, the golden deity's silhouette, and Si Di. Her magical energy was utterly depleted, and there wasn't a trace of essence left in her. In this moment, she felt an unprecedented weakness and fatigue, yet with so many eyes still watching nearby, she knew she had to remain standing. The pages of Si Shu's book flipped rapidly, beams of light shooting out and penetrating into Si Di's body. A few seconds later, a special substance was extracted and carefully deposited into a jade vessel by Si Shu. "Finished." "Hmm." With grace, Su Miao raised her hand, retrieving Si Di's spatial storage device. Then, from the storage, she extracted a pile of energy stones, placing them atop Si Di's body. Pressing her hand downward, a ball of purple flame descended, igniting Si Di's corpse into a fierce blaze. (End of Chapter)
