Old days in the box

Chapter 440 We all create our own fears
"Warning: You are performing unauthorized operations, faith overload!"

A dazzling light source flashed wildly from behind the main screen, gradually spreading to more secondary screens, sending out a severe warning signal.

Zhou Xiao is not using a new function, he is forcing it!
The entire Earth's Core Throne, which was transformed from a box, made a vibrating buzzing sound, and the total faith value on the main screen began to spin again, losing at an alarming rate.

To materialize a human god like Zhou Xiao directly from this side of the Earth into the Nine Realms is not what the box should be used for at all.

Even just one finger is already the limit.

On the other side, in the realm of Alfheim, the kingdom of elves.

A giant finger as big as a galaxy suddenly descended from the sky, hitting the clouds and emitting a shocking light.

Under such an impact, the rocky planet that fell to the ground through the portal seemed insignificant. The huge finger did not even actually touch the ground. The impact caused by its descent alone instantly shattered the planet.

The same was true for all the Kryptonian motherships that came from the divine realm and hung high in the sky. A large number of motherships had no time to dodge and were completely shattered by Zhou Xiao's finger and engulfed in the flames behind the clouds.

Prime Superman showed fear on his face, and instantly took off into the air and flew towards the outer atmosphere of the mother planet.

He never expected that his planet's attack would be ineffective, and instead he would be counterattacked by the opponent with even greater force.

As Sam's first chosen one, he had followed Sam in battle for countless millennia and witnessed countless powerful enemies and fierce battles, but he had never seen anyone who could wield such terrifying power, not even the real Odin.

The flashing red cloaked figure cut through the sky, shattering the dark clouds and accelerating towards the fire in the sky.

A sharp sound of explosion suddenly rang out from the air, and Prime Superman crashed headfirst into the surface of the Infinite Fingertips, as if he was hit head-on by something unstoppable, and his flight path came to an abrupt end.

All the golden light disappeared in an instant, and the time the box could remain materialized had reached its limit.

Superman-Prime fell back to the ground like a meteor, but before he even hit the ground he had already opened another spell behind him, catching himself in mid-air.

He rose again somewhat awkwardly, but his body was already covered with scars; although the injuries were not serious, this was the first time in nearly a thousand years that his defenses had been breached.

On the main screen, Zhou Xiao's finger was also forced back at the same time, and the total faith value displayed above it dropped further to the number "450000".

After only a few seconds of materialization, his faith value had instantly plummeted to 450,000, almost halving.

And after this system warning, it may not be so easy to perform such illegal operations next time.

The box gave him all administrator privileges, enabling him to turn all abstract concepts into concrete numbers and images, displaying them on all these screens, and then perform all "intuitive" computer operations on the screens.

Abilities such as rolling back, copying, deleting, and converting the power of faith into specific values ​​are all abilities extended from this power.

But directly materializing his divine body is a bit too much anyway.

The vibrating light source between the screens disappeared as he withdrew his hand, and the flickering images on all the screens stabilized again. Zhou Xiao took control of the camera again, overlooking the large number of damaged Kryptonian fleets.

Although this one finger consumes a huge amount of energy, as long as it can achieve the desired effect, he will use it no matter how many times he uses it, and he will use it without hesitation.

——Because in the current situation, he has no chance of stopping Sam.

There were about a million of the Old Ones who escaped from Midgard to the Kingdom of Elves, but the Kryptonian Legion that came from the Kingdom of Giants to encircle and suppress them had at least hundreds of millions of people. The little faith value that Zhou Xiao had at the beginning was not enough to kill them all.

What's more, this time Sam is leading the troops himself, bringing with him the strongest Superman Supreme among the four Horsemen of Apocalypse. Such a super luxurious lineup is simply impossible to beat.

It would be fine if he just wanted to survive. With the administrator privileges opened in the box, he could easily take Freya and her small group of people and quickly escape, leaving the mother planet and finding a safe place to make a comeback.

But in this case, all the remaining old relatives here, including the mortals who fled here from the courtyard, would have to be sacrificed, and all the other relatives who were still wandering outside would also not be able to escape the disaster.

If he wants to protect everyone here, there is only one way - starting with the God King Sam.

Indeed, since the establishment of the New Law, Sam has become the ultimate creature in the entire Nine Realms, holding the two identities of "Odin" and "Creator of the New Law", becoming the God King standing at the top of the new and old two major pantheons. His divine body may be extremely powerful, but his mind may not be so.

Uncle once said that Sam has a serious histrionic personality, with drastic and erratic mood swings, and is pretentious yet extremely self-centered.

A person like him is willing to endure for a thousand years after obtaining the position of God King. There is no other reason, it is completely out of fear of the boxes and the players.

It is precisely because of the fear box that He believes so deeply in the prophecies brought by the authority of the "Oracle" that He is willing to step behind the scenes and wait for thousands of years.

On the one hand, such behavior brought Him a great victory, but on the other hand, it also infinitely magnified His fear and turned it into the biggest weakness in His heart.

Because of this prophecy, He never fought with any box player from beginning to end.

Because of this prophecy, He never thought of competing with the box for control of the world in an upright manner.

——Because “it has never happened before”, He became more and more convinced that he would never be able to compete with the box. During those long years of lurking, He was not only waiting for his victory, but also constantly strengthening this self-suggestion imperceptibly and amplifying his inner fear.

If it weren't for the prophecy revealed by the authority of the "Oracle", he might have launched a war between gods as soon as he replaced Odin and embarked on his own grand journey to conquer the universe.

With his identity and power as the King of Gods, he would have enough courage to confront the box players who come later. He might win or lose, which is another possibility that is yet to be known.

But because of the prophecy, all these possibilities disappeared.

He is like Odin in Norse mythology, who was lost in his own prophecy and, due to his unshakable paranoia, ultimately created his most feared fate with his own hands.

Everything seemed like the most familiar reincarnation. He killed Odin with his own hands, deprived him of his authority and identity, and also inherited his fate of being obsessed with prophecy.

No one can escape the destiny.

With an indignant expression, Superman Supreme shook his divine power and tried to climb into the sky again with the force of thunder.

He had not felt injured or bled for thousands of years. This time, he was cut in half by Zhou Xiao, so he naturally felt a strong sense of humiliation and indignation.

But before he could cast any spell, holy white clouds instantly filled the sky, covering him and the rest of the Kryptonian motherships like ribbons.

"My Lord?" Superman Prime turned around and saw Sam stretching out the cross on his back and summoning from it the great power condensed by "faith".

He was finally going to take action, but He was not going to attack the Old Ones on the ground.

"Everyone follow me!" He waved the "royal power" on the Infinity Gauntlet, instantly commanding all the Kryptonian warriors covered by the white cloud, and quickly retreated from the void cracks they opened.

After witnessing the strange abilities Zhou Xiao displayed, he no longer had the courage to confront the box head-on and immediately thought of retreating first.

Although Zhou Xiao spent a lot of faith to carry out this series of amazing operations, from Sam's perspective, he knew nothing about it.

All he could see was Zhou Xiao constantly using all kinds of strange abilities that he had never seen before. With just a wave of his hand, he could make his army disappear in large numbers effortlessly, and even a divine body would come in person.

He had never seen the administrator's authority of the box, nor did he know what corresponding changes the box would undergo after the establishment of the new law of nature. Naturally, his fear of the box was further magnified.

He knew how terrifying the box was and how great the advantages were as a player. He had also been a user chosen by the box. Based on his experience, he had to assume that Zhou Xiao could use the power he had just displayed at will.

Only this can explain why he dared to come back openly and declare war head-on against himself in his prime.

In the sky filled with constant thunder, the Kryptonian motherships from the divine realm had almost all retreated and were no longer gathering in the low sky over Alfheim like a swarm of locusts.

Sam, shrouded in clouds, took one last look at the giant shadow behind the starry sky, then turned around and left this realm, disappearing into the crack of the void.
