This judgment is not of practical significance.
"You should blame the original body for making an incomplete product like me appear... When I was still weak, I had no choice, but now I think the range of choices should be expanded a bit. If it represents evil, then be straightforward and stop using hypocritical excuses to cover up your evil. Even if our interests are at odds, they also have the right to struggle for justice."
"And if they still fail in the end, it can only prove that they are the evil ones."
Looking down at the vast Mediterranean Sea, he began the third "summoning": "After all, justice will always prevail."

Ragnarok: Chapter 419 Pandora
Repeating the same action three times will gradually make you proficient, even if it's unfamiliar.
Unlike the essential characteristics of this active world, summoning a "disobedient god" from another world requires nothing more than piety or faith; simply "connection" is sufficient.
Just as thunder is produced by the collision of clouds in the sky, the summoned rebellious god is an ancient sorcerer with the "ruler of thunder"; when summoned in the vast desert covered with yellow sand, the rebellious god that appears becomes the desert emperor with the "lord of yellow sand", as well as the "sun disk" which is also closely related to yellow sand.
Following the same logic, Lin Yi chose the Mediterranean Sea as the third location for the summoning.
"In terms of pantheon alone, there aren't many legends about 'gods' that originated in the Mediterranean region of this world."
From this perspective, this should be the worst environment for other magicians who want to seize power by killing gods. After all, the absence of legends means that a pantheon cannot be formed, and without a pantheon, there will naturally be no disobedient gods who deviate from their duties and descend into the mortal world.
However, this environment, which was terrible compared to other magicians, was perfect for Lin Yi, who never intended to summon local deities.
"No legends mean no interference, and no interference means no accidents."
Spreading the active energy within the body, which is incompatible with this world, towards the vast sky is the perfect "bait" for these pure active energies.
Is it fair to say the results were remarkable?
Within five minutes, "prey" was lured by the "bait," but the "prey" seemed to be quite different from what was expected...
"If you're smart, you should keep your distance."
Lin Yi, whose gaze remained fixed on the other side of time and who had already discerned the true nature of the newcomer, had little interest in the gods of this native world.
Of course, if it's entirely composed of energy like the previous Thunderlord, then its achievements are another matter.
Upon hearing these words, which were hardly welcoming, the newcomer hesitated and ultimately chose the most conservative approach: to stay put.
Neither advancing nor retreating, it perfectly embodies the concept of "keeping a distance" in a sense.
"You want to become a god-slayer?"
"Why do you ask."
"...You have gained power, including that which once belonged to my other two children."
"Your 'child'?"
Slightly surprised, I turned my gaze back and saw a "girl" with long purple hair... or rather, an anomaly with the appearance of a "girl".
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but in this world, the older the female, the more she likes to look young. This was true of the god-slayers of the past, and it's true of the gods now.
The deity, completely unaware of Lin Yi's thoughts, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
(At least there was no hostility.)
“I am Pandora, the mother of all god-slayers in this world, and the only one who can help you when you fight against the disobedient gods.”
Considering the magician who had previously "negotiated peace" and the conclusion given by the Supreme God that "there is no threat to the world at present," Lin Yi had no doubt that the deity who called herself "Pandora" was indeed there to help him.
While this seems quite bizarre from the perspective of the aggressor, it is quite understandable from the perspective of the invaded.
Rather than watching the invaders gradually wreak havoc on our world, it's better to give them what they want so they can leave more quickly.
However, the "thing" that Lin Yi wants is something that this world is destined not to provide, so the only option is to provide help in other ways. The deity who calls herself "Pandora" probably appeared for this very reason.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi asked directly, "Who sent you?"
"No one can order me around."
Perhaps dissatisfied with Lin Yi's attitude and remarks, Pandora frowned slightly in displeasure: "I have said before, I am the only god who stands on the side of the god-killers. As long as you are engaging in 'god-killing', I will give you all the help I can."
(Is it still subconscious interference...? What a convenient ability.)
Considering that this world is only at a medium level of activity, direct intervention through violence is probably not a simple matter.
"According to your logic, you should have shown up back when we were in Italy."
Pandora scoffed, "Hmph, they're just beings split off from two inferior gods. If they can't even defeat a disobedient god of that caliber, they have no right to become god-slayers."
"What about the Indian Ocean?"
"...It's too far away. By the time I get there, you'll have already defeated that guy."
This time the pitch was noticeably lower.
"What about the Sahara? Half a day should be enough time for you to get there."
"..."
"..."
"...We can't beat them."
Perhaps fearing being looked down upon, Pandora quickly added after saying this in a very low voice: "My powers are not suited for direct confrontation, but rather for support—that's right, like helping you deal with 'external factors' during your battle, allowing you to face your enemies in the best possible condition!"
"That couldn't be better."
As he said this, Lin Yi, with a look of "delight," pointed to the Mediterranean Sea, which was gradually being invaded by black sludge that was emitting all sorts of negative information: "If possible, I hope you can evaporate this 5000-meter-deep 'seawater' so that I can deal with the thing hiding down there in the best condition."
"……Eh?"
Staring blankly ahead at the Mediterranean Sea, which had been swallowed up by darkness at some point, Pandora didn't immediately understand what was going on: "What is this?"
Shaking his head, Lin Yi ignored the goddess.
Rather than calling it a "helper" sent by the world's will to help itself, the invader, solve the problem as quickly as possible and leave, it would be more appropriate to call it a "gift" thrown by the world to express goodwill. Expecting it to play any role is destined to be futile.
Refocus attention on the "disobedient gods" lurking deep within the Mediterranean.
Unlike the Thunder Lord and the Sand Lord, the third otherworldly god who was pulled into this world did not intend to directly confront Lin Yi. Instead, the moment the summoning was completed, he hid at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea and continuously released this silt with a powerful ability to multiply and pollute.
In less than five minutes since it appeared, the vast Mediterranean Sea has been almost completely eroded.
Ragnarok: Chapter 420 The Disobedient God: Tiamat
"Is it not 'the ocean,' but 'proliferation' and 'infection'...?"
Gazing at the bubbling sea of silt before him, Lin Yi, after a long absence, began to peruse knowledge about viruses.
"Its rate of division is even more exaggerated than that of cancer cells, and it directly consumes energy from seawater. Unless the Mediterranean Sea is completely evaporated, there is no way to curb it... Let's just call it the power of the 'Sea of Life' for now."
The mere existence of this "power" is something that this active world cannot contend with. Given its current rate of proliferation in the Mediterranean, it wouldn't even require Lin Yi to spend "a few months" to destroy the Earth. It could erode 79% of the planet's surface within two days, leading to a mass extinction—and this is based on the fact that its power is limited to the ocean.
"...That was somewhat presumptuous."
Looking out to the horizon, countless deformed species crawl out of the mud, some flapping their fleshy wings and leaping upwards, others sliding their limbs toward the land.
"A standard amphibious aircraft."
After Lin Yi gave a brief summary of this "disobedient god" from another world, Pando (8) Sanmingqiulong ⑦⒐ Wubala finally recovered from this huge change. Its incomprehension of the unknown made it instinctively seek answers from its surroundings.
"That... could it be one too?"
"A god who does not obey, only one of considerable size."
Lin Yi, having calculated the approximate data, did not take immediate action, or to be more precise, he had not yet figured out how to proceed.
Unlike the ancient witch spirit and the desert emperor, the one that has appeared in the Mediterranean is clearly at a different level. If they are at the level of "powerful divine power", then this one is probably at the level of "creator god".
It's not that there's no way to deal with this kind of situation, but the effort and benefits of many methods are not proportional. For example, the simplest method Lin Yi can do right now is to directly transfer the information body into the thing under the Mediterranean Sea and detonate all the energy at once—the total energy would be enough to break through the Earth's crust. At that point, it wouldn't matter if it eroded the entire Indian Ocean to the south, let alone the Mediterranean Sea.
But it's pointless; the main task of the information entity is to find the "fragments," not to perish together with an otherworldly god here.
"So, what should we do next?"
While they were pondering, the first batch of deformed creatures born from the "Sea of Life" had already reached the coastline. In this desolate area, two figures blocking their way stood out starkly.
Naturally, the two "people" were attacked, but their reactions were completely different.
Retreating through the spatial portal behind him, Lin Yi looked down from over two thousand meters in the sky and witnessed the goddess being swallowed up. After waiting silently for a few seconds, Pandora, who had escaped in a disheveled state, suddenly burst into frenzied activity and headed straight for him.
"You just ran away like that?!"
"After all, these are just some 'external factors.' More than that, I'm curious why Ms. Pandora, the 'mother' of all god-slayers, can't even handle a few small animals."
"You're the little animal, those house spirits! @Dream#$First%^Release&* guys... I don't know why it's so strange, they can be easily destroyed, but when the attack hits, the power suddenly weakens."
Gritting her teeth as she looked down at the dense horde of beasts, the "mother" of the god-slayer wisely refrained from charging forward. Meanwhile, Lin Yi was drawn to the "strange" thing it was holding.
"The power has weakened?"
After losing their target, the herd of beasts below, except for some that could fly, continued to approach this direction, while most continued to head inland.
As the strangely shaped creatures approached, just as Pandora was about to helplessly go to meet them, Lin Yi suddenly reached out and pressed his hand against the space behind him.
A faint ripple spread through the air, followed by several oval-shaped objects with tails flying forward.
Pandora, noticing this, naturally stopped and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"RPG".
"Boom—Abandoned Lingmeng, the flag was raised and the dream was broken."
The dazzling flames briefly stole the sky's brilliance. Behind the scorching heat of thousands of degrees, several deformed creatures fell helplessly to the ground beneath the impact. Pandora, who was nearly blown away by the aftershocks, exclaimed with delight, "It's a success!"
"Do not……"
The right hand continued to penetrate deeper into the subspace, and the number of ripples spreading in mid-air increased from a few to more than a dozen, with the corresponding area also expanding several times.
Under Pandora's puzzled gaze, a dozen or so elongated objects, far more numerous than before, flew towards the sea. Pandora, feeling that the distance was sufficient, didn't pay much attention, but still subconsciously asked again, "What are these?"
"Nuclear bomb."
Seventeen "suns" thus bloomed on the sea surface.
----------segmentation----------
Twenty minutes later, somewhere along the Mediterranean coast.
"It's not just the eroded black mud, but everything born from it, including its creations, has an effect on people... This can be understood as including people themselves and the things they create being restrained."
Beneath the mushroom cloud, the evaporated black mud was filled with more Tongzhi. Only a mere two thousand deformed creatures actually died in the explosion, yet at the same time, more than twenty thousand deformed creatures were born. For human civilization that relies on modern science, this is probably the most catastrophic scene.
A god from another world with the ability to multiply infinitely and be restrained by the civilization of the Five Elements (VIII, IV) Zero J Wuyang...
Tiamat.
"Ok?"
Pandora, who had narrowly escaped death from friendly fire in the recent nuclear fusion explosion, was still somewhat disheveled, but her expression was extremely serious: "One of the creator gods in Mesopotamian mythology, according to the myth, the gods were born from Apsu, who was fresh water, and Tiamat, who was salt water. Afterwards, these offspring rebelled against their original father, Apsu, and gained dominion over the world. Tiamat calmly accepted her children's actions, which is also evidence that her love for her children surpassed her love for her husband."
"However, the gods' swords did not even spare their own mother. Tiamat sighed and lost her mind, then gave birth to new offspring, who, with these eleven magical beasts, waged war against the gods. The great battle ended with the defeat and death of Tiamat and the eleven magical beasts. The gods split her corpse in two, and with this they created heaven and earth, which is said to be the ritual for the creation of the human world."
"Based on the powers it has demonstrated so far, I can't think of any other possibility besides 'Tiamat'."
"In other words, what is currently lurking deep in the ocean, seeking revenge against this world that betrayed it, is the ancient god who has abandoned its mission of creation and is now attempting to destroy the world—"
"The God of Disobedience: Tiamat".
P.S.: Can you leave me a pillar?
Ragnarok: Chapter 421 Sea of Life
Regardless of whether the "Tiamat" in this world's pantheon is the same as the one in the Mediterranean right now, its current actions don't seem like a joke at all. If it really had consciousness and could speak, it could probably simply say, "I exterminate humanity from the bottom of my heart."
In less than an hour, the Mediterranean Sea, utterly eroded, had become a breeding ground for deformed creatures. Millions of "humanoid beings" spread in all directions. The powerful firearms that humans rely on for survival were utterly useless against these unscientific species. It was only because the magicians of the mystical side had received news of the "godslayers" being here and were prepared in advance that they did their best to block the spread after the outbreak of the beast plague. Otherwise, given the immense destructive power of these "humanoid beings," they could probably have reached the center of the three continents without any problem.
However, this is already the limit that magicians can do. Expecting them to fight to a draw or even launch a counterattack is nothing short of wishful thinking. Even considering the best-case scenario, it is unknown whether they can hold out for another hour.
"This will never end!"
Having repeatedly repelled the approaching deformed creatures, Pandora, whose magic had been depleted since the start of the war, was beginning to feel the strain: "Speaking of which, this is clearly a revenge against 'humanity,' so why is even I, the most goddess-like person, being targeted by this power?"
"According to the 'myth' you provided, weren't it you gods who drove it away in the first place?"
Looking down indifferently at the churning sea of silt below, Lin Yi showed no intention of offering any help to Pandora who stood in his way: "If the purpose is truly 'revenge,' then you, as the exterminators, should also be within this scope."
"How could that be? My pantheon has absolutely no connection to this thing whatsoever!"
