The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to Be in True Love

Sitting on his throne high above them, the god of light gazed down at Xiu with a complex look in his eyes.

Du Ze’s eyes kept bouncing to and from Xiu and the god of light. This is the third and final showdown between them. Of course, the outcome of this doomed confrontation is preordained. Each novel has a Final BOSS. The ultimate goal of the novel is to defeat him. Once that is finished, so is the novel. Although YY novels these days often have a Hidden BOSS who will dramatically jump out at an appropriate moment, such a hidden boss is, emotionally speaking, trivial. A Hidden BOSS just can’t compare to the Final BOSS whom the novel’s protagonist has been working to defeat from the start to the end of the novel, like Xiu and the god of light.

Dealing with the Temple of Light’s forces and the god of light was always the main plot of “Mixed Blood.” Right from the start, the god of light always wanted to kill Xiu. In the Sky City and the beastkin village, the god of light never tried to hide his intention of killing the protagonist. It’s an inevitable story arc, just like how the protagonist always has a golden finger (cheat). The mutual antagonism between the protagonist and the BOSS is irreconcilable and constantly intensifying. Therefore, even though they have already guessed that there will be a Hidden BOSS – the Creator God – still the Moe Lord really wants to bring down the god of light.

“I’m in a hurry so let’s finish this.” Xiu didn’t bother with pleasantries and spoke plainly to the god of light. The gnome smiled as if he was urging his little friend to play a game with him: Press the “start” button now, let’s play right away since I don’t have much time.

The Kabbalah’s mechanical arm passed close to Xiu’s body as it struck incredibly fast.

“Boom!!!”

The god’s throne was ground into powder and a powerful wind pressure blew back the gnome’s flaxen hair. Xiu smiled. That smile was too innocent, with a child-like pure cruelty. The Kabbalah lifted its heavy fist; the broken throne was empty and the god of light had disappeared.

Everyone was on alert. The Kabbalah turned its huge head. It seemed to move clumsily, but in fact its mechanical eyes had scanned the entire temple in an instant and focused on a certain point in the air.

The temple was similar to the Pantheon in Rome and had an enormous domed ceiling. It was so large that it could even contain the Kabbalah inside it. Rays of light were converging above the temple. The god of light, who had been crushed after he was unable to dodge the Kabbalah’s attack, resurrected and looked down at the huge eight-star mechanical puppet. When he saw Xiu smiling at him, the god of light could no longer maintain his cold and arrogant attitude and the expression on his face became distorted with anger.

Compared to him who was imprisoned and his full power suppressed by the Tower of God, that heretic is strong enough to trample him under the soles of his feet. The god of light could imagine how glorious the future would be for the person that “the rules” doted on. That heretic would replace him– no, not just replace him as the head of the gods, rather that heretic would be placed even higher than him as the Supreme God, admired by everyone.

No, he can’t accept that!

Extreme hatred and envy made the god of light’s eyes look crazy. He will kill the heretic. Even if “the rules” won’t allow it, even if it costs him everything, he will kill that heretic –

Before the god of light had a chance to fully materialize a new body, the Kabbalah reached out its hand and grabbed the god’s incomplete form. Because of the size of the mechanical puppet, even a god looked like an ant. The god of light’s body was destroyed once again, but he can regenerate it as long as there is light. On the far side of the temple opposite of the Kabbalah, the god of light quickly resurrected and this time cast his spell before his body was complete.

Once again, the familiar giant ball of light flooded Du Ze’s vision with dazzling brightness, like a sun that was about to fall on them. Without Xiu having to instruct it, the Kabbalah immediately used its metal hand to grab the ball of light.

“Bang!!!”

In the midst of the dazzling illumination, the giant mechanical hand melted a bit as it shattered the ball of light and the god of light was instantly crushed into powder by the hand.

Violet and the others were dumbstruck as they watched the battle between the god of light and Kabbalah.
