Chapter 468 God Is Dead, Mortals Will Live Forever

The cannonballs of matter and energy that were denser than raindrops landed, coupled with the matter-splitting beams and concentrated particle light spears, even Nasus, who was in the form of a god, was seriously injured, let alone Yato, whose body was just a piece of rotten flesh. Too bad.

"I am a Darkin, and I will never die!" In Aatrox's furious roar, the artillery fire completely covered a one-kilometer radius around him.

Continuous explosions melt the yellow sand into glass, and then completely annihilate it from the microscopic level.

In less than 5 seconds, the ground sank tens of meters downward, and more surrounding quicksand filled in like a tide, but was constantly swallowed up by the aftermath of the energy.

[You have defeated the Darkin Sword Demon Aatrox (hero), increased your level by 2 levels, and obtained 3000 blue essence, 3000 orange essence, and 50 skill points. 】

【Congratulations! Your level reaches level 93! 】

【……】

The system prompts in my mind gradually faded, and the reminder from Zhi Nao followed closely:

[Master, Aatrox's blood magic aura has disappeared. 】

After the energy aftermath of the explosion dissipated, Li Lin heard Zhinao's reminder, removed the connector on his body, and transferred it to the body of the Tyrant Beast.

After a while, he activated the energy barrier and drove the mecha into the deep pit of quicksand.

Putting a pair of high-power piercing drills on his huge fist, he poked into the quicksand at will, and took out the "body" of the Darkin Sword Demon, which was no bigger than the palm of the Tyrant Beast's hand and looked like a "toy sword."

Since blood magic cannot affect the existence of inanimate objects, not to mention that there is a liquid metal shield on the body of the Tyrant Behemoth, Aatrox is not good at magic.

Even if he is given an energy supply, he cannot use his power directly through the blade.

He couldn't even reshape his body, let alone affect Li Lin.

Staring at the scarlet sword in his hand that beat like a heartbeat for a long time, Li Lin couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Aatrox once symbolized light and reason and held a lofty status among the Ascended, but now he has fallen into this ugly posture.

Being corrupted by the void is only part of the reason, because the void mainly affects the spirit of the ascended ones, which is equivalent to causing continuous "spiritual pollution" to them, and has limited impact on their immortal bodies.

The main reason why they degenerated into "dark descendants" was the death of Shurima. All the ascended ones lost their backbone and faith, and the bad nature of "greed" in the mortal souls was naturally revealed.

Even as noble as Aatrox, he could not escape the vortex that pushed all the gods into the abyss.

[According to the satellite energy index, God-Emperor Azir has arrived in the middle of Farajese. 】

Li Lin glanced at the holographic display thumbnail map and saw that the yellow dot representing Azir was already some distance away from the City of the Sun, almost one-third of the way.

The speed of an Ascended One running at full speed is very astonishing. Moreover, the Desert Emperor's ability is to control sand. Shurima can display extremely strong combat capabilities in the yellow sand.

"Let the drone inform Azir that I have eliminated the dark descendants, but..."

Li Lin's eyes turned to the west, where there was still someone who needed his help.

"Let him go back to the City of the Sun first. He will go back after I finish my work here."

With that said, he put Aatrox's great sword into the sealed treasure box prepared in advance, stored it in the body of the Tyrant Beast, and then ordered Zhinao to teleport Gaboga back to Pi City.

Afterwards, Li Lin flew towards the direction where the battle armor scanned and found a breath of life with a hint of astral magic, and soon reached the side of Atreus who fell to the ground and was unconscious.

The blood under the man's body had already solidified and evaporated under the scorching sun. There was a huge and terrifying wound on his upper body, which was torn from his chest to his lower abdomen. You could even vaguely see the corner of his weakly pulsing heart.

Carrion crows and vultures circled in the sky, waiting for Atreus to take his last breath and then rush to feast on it.

However, even after suffering such fatal trauma and falling into shock and coma, he still clenched his fists, unwilling to return to the realm of the dead.

Li Lin knew that it would actually take Atreus a few hours to wake up, and then drag this disabled body back to the location of the Raqor tribe, and be accompanied by his brother who climbed the giant peak with him, but finally disappeared on the top of the mountain. Saved by the widow.

"Data-based thinking" was activated, Li Lin unfolded his mask, and reflected all his current body data in his mind.

[Name: Atreus (Unyielding Spear)]

[Race: Rakkor]

[Occupation: Warrior of the La Horak Military Order, the fourth human host of War Protoss Pantheon. 】

[HP: 459/? ? ? (↑↑↑)]

[Personal status: Perseverance, the power of the stars (remaining), the blessing of the astral realm (residual), the protection of the war constellation (invalidated)...]

Li Lin was surprised to find that even in a near-death state with fatal injuries, Atreus's body was still slowly repairing and his health points were rising.

This is the impact caused by the residual power of the war star spirit, but it is not the main reason. After all, there is not much power of the star spirit left in him, and even this injury cannot be healed.

Atreus's tenacious will resisted death. In addition, Aatrox mainly targeted Pantheon and did not bother to kill a "maggot" like him. The damage caused to his body was minimal, making him lucky. The earth survived.

The gods are dead, but mortals live forever.

However, due to Li Lin's intervention, Atreus's fate also changed.

He was unable to face the Dark One Aatrox with his seriously injured body, nor was he able to fight with him as a mortal. In the end, he used his will to awaken the "Atreus" sun in the war constellation, and cut off the sword demon with one blow. Arm, cutting off the connection between him and the body.

Subsequently, Atreus failed to inherit the name of "Pantheon" and declared war on all protoss, ascendants, and overly powerful beings, fighting only for mortals.

But Li Lin and Zhinao have calculated many ways to deal with these.

Just let Atreus fight to the death, and then ignite the power of the war protoss with his will.

To put it simply, without beating Atreus to death, just beat him to death.

Anyway, with Li Lin here, there are still more than 100,000 blue essences in the wealth column.

Even if he only has one breath left, he can still be saved by the "Holy Healing Potion" sold in the [Essence Store].

Li Lin shook his head silently and stretched out his right index finger. The nanomachine at the top quickly changed and turned into a sharp needle.

He slowly inserted the needle into the blood-stained carotid artery of Atreus's neck, and injected a steady stream of nanomachines into it. It quickly circulated through the blood to the seriously injured man's body, repairing the wound while converting the machine into flesh and blood cells.

This is the latest technology Li Lin has mastered - nanomechanical repair, which uses the principle of material conversion.

Although the "matter conversion" he mastered only limited to the most superficial application, that is, the conversion of unequal proportions of matter existing in the real world, it seemed to also involve the "rules" of the real world.

The intelligent brain cannot analyze its principles through quantum theory, just like the "BUG-level" defensive barrier force field shields, and can only barely analyze how they operate.

But at least the technology was in his own hands, and as time was extremely tight, Li Lin had no intention of exploring its principles.

The consumption of nanomaterials stored in the armor far exceeded Li Lin's expectations.

He had no choice but to let Intelligent Brain send new nanobots from the Piltover warehouse to supplement, and then continued to repair Atreus's broken body.

After using nanomaterials that were several times the weight of a normal strong adult, Atreus's body was completely repaired, and even the coagulated blood clots and traces of blood were completely removed by the nanorobots.

"Hey, wake up, don't sleep."

Li Lin took off the Lahorak battle helmet worn by Atreus, revealing his sky-high "Mohawk" hairstyle.

Then, Li Lin patted his thin face with thick beard.

"Well……"

The man groaned in discomfort, his closed eyes squirmed and opened a crack.

who I am?

where am I?

What am I doing?

Atreus, whose consciousness was still in a hazy and confused state, had three questions about the meaning of "philosophy" in his heart.

The dazzling sunlight made him subconsciously reach out to block it. Through the gaps between his fingers covered with thick calluses and engraved with battle marks, the vision in front of him gradually changed from blurry to clear, and he saw a picture that did not belong to the Rakkor people. Unfamiliar faces.

"You are..." Atreus's voice was hoarse and low, and he licked his chapped and pale lips with his tongue, "Water...is there any water?"

Li Lin had already anticipated this situation. He handed the bottled water that had been prepared in advance and still had a cold feeling to Atreus's hand, and then pulled the man up who had already recovered.

Atreus looked confused. He first looked down at the cold bottle of water in his hand that he had never seen before. Then he looked up at Li Lin, who was wearing a sophisticated armor with only his head exposed. There was a look of confusion on his face. The color is more intense.

"What is this? You are..."

"Don't you want to drink water?" Li Lin gently twisted the mouth of the bottle with two fingers. "This is bottled water commonly found in Piltover shops. Although it is not purely natural, it is at least pollution-free."

Atreus's mind was still a little confused, his memories were fragmented, and he couldn't even piece together a coherent picture.

The only thing he remembered was losing his war protoss to fight a darkin named Aatrox.

Then……

Atreus's dark brown eyes suddenly widened, and he didn't even bother to drink water. He hurriedly looked down at his chest and rubbed it a few times with his free hand.

The fatal wound...is gone?

"Did you save me?" Atreus raised his head in surprise and looked at Li Lin. "How did you do it?"

"I researched Piltover's technology." Li Lin responded lightly, looking at the bottle in his hand, "The water spilled out."

Atreus was startled for a moment, feeling the ice water flowing through his fingers and the back of his hand, and quickly licked the water droplets that had not fallen to the ground with his tongue.

Due to the geographical location and altitude of the Targon Mountains, there is snow all year round. There are also many freshwater lakes and rivers in the surrounding plateau. Water resources are not as scarce as in Shurima, which has a harsh climate.

However, for the Rakkor and Vastaya branch of the otter tribe living here, water resources are still precious.

Fresh water resources often mean struggles and killings between tribes and bandits.

"Thank you." Atreus thanked him and impatiently brought the bottle to his mouth.

But instead of taking a big gulp, he first took a small sip to moisten his mouth, and then took two more sips to relieve the dry pain in his throat. He took the bottle cap back from Li Lin and screwed it on again in the same way as before.

Afterwards, Atreus tied the mouth of the bottle with the string on his belt, dropped it to his side, grabbed the tarnished Star-piercing Spear at hand and inserted it into the ground, then picked up the Holy Shield of Divine Blessing and the Nova War Helmet and climbed up got up.

"My name is Atreus. I am a resident of Ra'kor in the plateau valley and a member of the Ra'horak Military Order..."

"Stop, stop, I know who you are, Atreus, or the host of the war protoss."

People in Runeterra always add a long list of "titles" or other modifiers when introducing themselves. Li Lin is eager to send Aatrox back to the City of the Sun, but he doesn't have much time to listen to his nagging here. .

"Well……"

Atreus held his helmet under his left arm and scratched his thick beard with an embarrassed look on his face, but hesitated to speak.

"My name is Li Lin, from the Gila Mann family of Piltover." Li Lin introduced himself briefly and quickly.

"Li Lin, Li Lin..." Atreus repeated twice with absent-minded eyes, "Thank you for saving my life. Has the dark descendant left?"

As he said that, he was afraid that Li Lin didn't know what had just happened, and added: "Well, actually just now... It was me. I fought with him and was defeated by him."

"Of course I know." Li Lin raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "I witnessed the scene of your battle with my own eyes."

A trace of astonishment appeared on Atreus's face, "The dark descendant..."

"He was defeated by me."
