Old days in the box

Chapter 437 Select All, Right Click, Delete

"You should know why I came back."

In the sky filled with thunder and lightning, Zhou Xiao's voice came calmly from all directions, echoing through the clouds.

"Just for a group of people who only exist on the screen to you? You haven't even seen them with your own eyes! They are just a group of virtual characters on the screen to you!" Sam roared, pointing at the distant ground.

"So what? What I love is the truth."

The Supreme God King floated high in the sky, staring blankly at the shadow behind the starry sky, totally unable to understand why he could say this so easily.

"From the beginning to the end, I have never opposed your reforms to the Nine Realms. On the contrary, I understand, as you do, that this world is in urgent need of change. Even without you, fate would have completed this reform in a more brutal way through Ragnarok."

Zhou Xiao sat on the throne, watching the new functions appearing on various interfaces gradually settle down, as if it had turned into an extremely sophisticated, large-scale real-time strategy game.

"What I cannot agree with is your method. The Nine Realms need to change for the sake of progress, not so that a god can seize all the fruits of power."

"So?" Sam was confused.

"If you are willing to give up the war and stop trying to seize the faith of the Nine Realms, we don't have to be enemies of each other. I can work with you to promote the progress of this world until the new law of nature is established."

"Hahahaha! This is truly the funniest joke I've ever heard!" Sam laughed crazily. "I've spent thousands of years planning and waiting, and expended countless efforts to get to this point today. Now, just based on your words, you want me to give up everything and become the greatest philanthropist in the universe with you?"

The restless thunder flashed between the clouds. Zhou Xiao looked at the God King on the screen quietly without answering.

He had never expected this guy to agree, and he said this only as a last attempt at peace.

"Poor Sun Hao, he thought he would win by waiting for you, but he didn't expect you to be such a fool. If he knew that his sacrifice had gained nothing, he would probably be very disappointed in you, right?"

"If you really think that, then you don't know him at all."

Zhou Xiao's fingertips lingered on the voice function interface, and he continued to speak calmly to the screen:
"Everyone chosen by the box has been given supreme power, but we have never been the protagonists. We are just a group of prisoners. From the day we were chosen by the box, we no longer have the power to refuse and can no longer control our own destiny."

"Sun Hao's sacrifice was not to tell me what to do, but to give me the freedom to choose. So no matter what I choose today, he will support me, because he knows that this choice is not the result of being coerced by the box, but a decision I made with my own will."

The turbulent flow of divine power roared above the sky, gradually covering the brilliant starry sky. In those forcibly torn void cracks, more and more Krypton motherships have crossed over to the sky above the Kingdom of Elves and surrounded this area.

"Okay...very good, very good! Since you insist on coming back to get in my way, then I don't need to say anything more to you!" Sam's smile gradually became distorted and extremely ferocious: "The era when the box could cover the sky with one hand has long ended. Even if you come back, it will not change this fact! The new law of nature has been established. I am the true supreme god king. No one can be my enemy, not even you!"

Sam waved his arms with an exaggerated amplitude, and the three power gems on the Infinity Gauntlet vibrated at the same time, making a shrill buzzing sound, forming purple thunder that tore through the sky!
"War", "knowledge", "royalty"!
This conversation between gods that no one could understand finally ended, and what followed was the full-scale attack of the Kryptonian Legion. Countless steel bodies broke out of the mothership and covered the sky.

"In that case, that's all we have to say."

Zhou Xiao's hands moved quickly, switching channels on the voice function that had been prepared long ago, changing "only to a single target" to "to all believers."

His voice instantly fell from the starry sky and appeared above the heads of all the old family members.

"The days of fleeing are over. Get ready for battle."

This short and powerful sentence turned into a divine guidance that descended from the sky, instantly causing hundreds of thousands of old family members on the ground to raise their heads, faces filled with astonishment, and rekindled hope. Although they did not understand why the King of the Gods, "Odin", was talking to himself alone in the sky, they could hear this thunderous divine guidance from the sky clearly.

Those were clearly words from the old days, echoes from their countless prayers day and night!

The crowd began to stir, and the small noises gradually evolved into deafening war roars. An unprecedented fighting spirit was rekindled in the hearts of every old family member.

"I knew it, it's you who's back!" Tears flashed in Freya's eyes. She was so excited that she even forgot to address her God with honorifics.

"Old Lord! How are we going to break out of this encirclement now?" Yuan Wuyou nervously held Chihua in her hand. This was the first time she truly heard the voice of her god, and what she was facing now was a battle that she had almost no chance of winning.

"Old God, everyone follow me and kill the enemy with all your strength! Under the watchful eyes of the great gods, we will surely be victorious!" Freya held two swords in her hands, with unprecedented fighting spirit in her heart, and shouted loudly in the crowd.

The old family never feared death, and now that the gods have returned, they no longer have to worry.

"No, you don't have to stand out."

“No need to break out of the encirclement?”

"As I said, today is the day of God's coming, and it is they who should leave here."

Zhou Xiao sat in front of the huge main screen, watching countless Kryptonian warriors passing through the clouds flashing with lightning, swooping down in swarms like a plague of locusts.

This might be the first time in the history of the elven kingdom of Alfheim that such an apocalyptic invasion has occurred.

But Zhou Xiao still did not move. On his main screen and sub-screen, the fast-moving enemy army had been automatically identified, and the various parameters of these Kryptonian warriors were displayed on the sub-screen; at the same time, the meter function showing his faith value also stopped beating, and finally stayed at the number "1620000".

One million, six hundred and twenty thousand, this was the total amount of faith he currently held.

Ever since the new heavenly principles were established, the connection between him and the Nine Realms was no longer just through "divine power", but also mixed with something completely new and different, "faith".

And with the integration of the new system, his powers in the box have been expanded unprecedentedly, even to an incredible level.

A large number of Kryptonian warriors dived down, with one of the leading Kryptonians taking the lead and blinking his terrifying laser eyes towards the ground.

Zhou Xiao quickly locked onto the target, right-clicked the pointer on him, and opened a small menu bar.

He swiped across the few options on the menu bar, the pointer landed on "Delete", and tapped it to select it.

——Then, under the gaze of the screen camera, this Kryptonian turned into a pile of ashes out of thin air and disappeared silently in the air of the Kingdom of Elves!
Zhou Xiao actually "deleted" this Kryptonian warrior, just like deleting a file on the desktop!
This sudden change shocked the entire marching Kryptonian army, and the originally neat and tidy marching route came to a significant halt, interrupting their marching rhythm.

But Zhou Xiao did not stop there. On the contrary, he continued to drag the pointer in his hand and quickly selected a large number of targets on the main screen, selecting all the hundreds of thousands of Kryptonian warriors who were on the front line.

Then, right-click and click "Delete".
