“Purposely making yourself sound godlike, but in reality, you’re just a useless piece of trash.”
Mo Yi deliberately provoked the man in front of him because he had just noticed that the man seemed to care a lot about his words and couldn’t accept his contemptuous tone.
The illusion in front of Mo Yi shattered instantly after he said these words, dispersing like glass and then disappearing.
The previously indifferent ‘Gregory’ now showed a ferocious expression and retorted, “Are you mocking me and looking down on me? I, ugh!”
The man seemed very angry, but before he could finish speaking, Mo Yi seized the opportunity and fiercely punched his cheek.
The angrier a person is, the easier it is for them to lose their rationality and ignore the actions of those around them.
Mo Yi used all his strength, and ‘Gregory’s’ face was deformed by the punch, flying out and hitting a nearby stone statue.
Mo Yi’s punch was brutal, enough to incapacitate an ordinary person, but unfortunately, his opponent today wasn’t even considered ‘human.’
Originally intending to knock the man unconscious directly, thus rescue his companion, Mo Yi’s plan was thwarted. The golden-haired man got up from the ground again.
Seeing this, Mo Yi rushed over again, but obviously, a prepared opponent wasn’t so easy to deal with. Moreover, he had absorbed a large amount of energy from Bai Ren.
Mo Yi was directly bounced back by the man’s divine power, falling to the ground, but he quickly got up again, refusing to admit defeat.
The man opposite him looked worse, with his nose crooked and a few teeth knocked out, blood flowing from his mouth and nose.
But he seemed not to feel any pain, and simply used his hand to straighten his nose back.
“How dare you insult me like this! Who do you think I am? I am Cronus, the great god of time! This statue is my true likeness!”
The golden-haired man pointed to the huge statue erected behind him, as if wanting Mo Yi to acknowledge him.
It was apparent that his anger wasn’t solely because of being punched but rather due to the so-called ‘insult.’ However, the more furious he became, the more Mo Yi felt that something was amiss.
“Who is Cronus?” Mo Yi looked at the man in front of him and asked 006 in his mind.
“Cronus is the second-generation king of gods from the Greek mythology. He can control time within a certain range,” 006 replied.

A puzzled expression appeared on little dog’s face. Although he was nurtured by the artifact, as a backbone member of the Dimensional Management Bureau, he was quite knowledgeable about the basic information of the present world.
When he went to visit 000’s house before, 000 mentioned to him during their conversation that because of the existence of small worlds, Eastern gods could train here and greatly increase their strength, which made gods from other regions envy them.
Similar to the myriad small worlds controlled by the main god Qian Chen, although they also existed in their region, the danger was too great. One slight mistake could lead to the extinction of the divine soul, far inferior to their artifact worlds.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yi realized what the man meant by being a god from the present world. When he first interacted with the system, 006 did indeed explain to him that they were in small worlds within artifacts.
Then this man claimed to be from the present world…
Mo Yi furrowed his brows. Now wasn’t the time for him to be thinking about this. Regardless of whether he was from the present world or a small world within a divine artifact, everything he experienced was real.
And Bai Ren was indeed his beloved companion.
Aside from his partner, he didn’t care about anything else. The person in front of him, who set up traps to harm them in order to leave, was his enemy!
“I gave you a chance, that was my mercy. Since you’re so ungrateful, it seems that I’ll have to use more force!”
The man who called himself Cronus said, raising one arm. Bai Ren, who was bound and unconscious, floated in mid-air as he moved his arm.
As the man slowly clenched his fingers, the flow of energy from Bai Ren’s body into the statue seemed to accelerate.
“Bai Ren!”
Mo Yi clenched his fists and growled lowly, seeing his partner suffering, his tightly clenched canine teeth nearly drawing blood.
The silver light in the man’s eyes grew colder as he threatened Mo Yi, “Are you really going to resist me? This person might lose his life because of you. Don’t you care?”
Of course, he cared!
Mo Yi felt a hatred for someone like never before. Even the people who imprisoned and harmed him in the past, or those who drained energy from him, couldn’t compare to the person who was harming his partner.
“I won’t resist anymore… So please let go of Bai Ren”
Mo Yi said in a low voice, willing to compromise for Bai Ren. Because he realized that he couldn’t defeat this person.
More importantly, while he was fighting against the man, he seemed to still be absorbing energy from Bai Ren. Mo Yi couldn’t let his partner get hurt even more.
How ironic it was that one after another, they all wanted the energy from him. Once, he only felt his power was a curse, but now, if it could save his lover…
“Host, no! Don’t believe him!”
006 was frantic. The only solution now seemed to be to release Mo Yi’s original divine soul energy. But if he did that, it could cause the small world to collapse, as the host had no experience or memories of his origin.
What should they do?
Mo Yi seemed oblivious to 006’s continuous persuasion and attempts to stop him, taking a resigned step forward.
Seeing this, the man with golden hair smirked satisfactorily. He felt strange because he could sense that the other’s power should be greater than what he had just shown.
Could it be because of soft-heartedness or because of that god that he behaved like this? Too weak!
But regardless, it was a great opportunity for him.
Extending his hand, he unabashedly began to draw energy from Mo Yi. The man with golden hair could already envision himself returning to his peak, back to the scenes of the present world.
He even anticipate that once he drained Mo Yi dry, his strength would surely reach a new height.
As he saw Mo Yi weakening bit by bit due to the loss of energy, even kneeling on the ground, the man with golden hair felt even more triumphant.
He laughed maniacally, finally feeling like he was becoming a true powerhouse. No longer would he be someone’s disposable tool. Soon, everyone would bow down at his feet.
His ambitions and arrogance swelled, urging him to act.
Seeing Mo Yi seemingly powerless before him, he reached out and lifted Bai Ren, who seemed to have lost consciousness, bringing him in front of Mo Yi.
“What are you going to do?” Mo Yi, his eyes bloodshot, asked with difficulty.
“What am I going to do?” The man with golden hair cruelly smirked. “Of course, I’m going to show you the consequences of your naivety. You have no power to resist me now. Soon, you’ll be dead. And I’ll kindly reunite you with your lover!”
With that, he continued to absorb energy from Bai Ren.
Mo Yi watched in horror as Bai Ren’s complexion grew increasingly pale and defeated. Even someone like him could sense the impending death in the air.
No, this couldn’t be!
He couldn’t let his partner be harmed!
He could endure injury, even death, but not Bai Ren!
No one, no one could harm Bai Ren!
All of his emotions ignited in an instant. The fear of witnessing his lover die before his eyes filled Mo Yi’s heart, eventually turning into a raging inferno.
“Aaaah!”
With a roar from his soul, blood filled Mo Yi’s pupils, turning his eyes a fiery crimson.
His canine teeth and nails sharpened, and the contours of his bones began to take on a bestial form.
On Mo Yi’s forehead, there faintly appeared the imprint of flames characteristic of a beast, as if foretelling that some power suppressed deep within his soul was finally breaking free.
The temperature around him suddenly rose, and flames began to engulf him, quickly enveloping Mo Yi in a half-beastly form.
“What… what’s happening?” ‘Gregory’ exclaimed in shock, watching the scene unfold before him. The terrifying heat made him instinctively step back.
But it was too late, because the next moment, a surge of fiery dragons burst out from the flames surrounding Mo Yi, directly igniting him.
At that moment, the man with golden hair realized that this was no ordinary fire; it was a temperature that could incinerate even his soul.
“No!”
‘Gregory’ screamed in horror, struggling, but ultimately could only be burned to ashes helplessly.
What eventually fell to the ground was just a charred black disc, with what seemed to be the outline of an hourglass on it.
All the previously controlled humans passed out, and Mo Yi collapsed to the ground as if drained of all strength.
Fortunately, with the destruction of the time artifact, all the energy previously absorbed from Mo Yi and Bai Ren returned to them.
“Mo Yi!”
Bai Ren woke up, seeing his beloved once again before him, almost on the verge of tears of joy.
Although the person before him seemed somewhat different from his memory, even resembling a half-beast, he could still clearly distinguish that it was the one he loved!
Oh thank god Cronus is gone 😭🙏🙏
SLAY MO YI😭 destroy his soul!
Thank you for the chapter!!~
