"..."

Ma Ran looked at the Slaughter Divine Format lying quietly in his palm, with a slight frown on his brow.

The Slaughter Divine Format, its shape resembled a red coconut, only the size of a palm. Besides being exquisitely beautiful, it seemed devoid of any supernatural power.

It seemed like an artificial gem, unremarkable, nothing stood out, and seemed insignificant.

However, both he and Su Qiangwei knew that this was a manifestation of hidden divine brilliance.

This thing...

Simply destroying it with a [Demonic Child] medal would be too wasteful.

Yet, with all the means currently at Ma Ran’s disposal, it’s challenging to fully utilize it.

The [Profound Immortal] medal, which had previously rendered great assistance many times, finally failed this time.

And the [Xuan’s Faith Ranch] medal, emanating a simple red copper glow, although also rejecting the power of the [Slaughter Divine Format], could forcibly crush and transform it into purple Fruits of Faith.

From this perspective, basic Original Medals in certain specific environments, could sometimes be even more effective than Synthetic Medals.

Unfortunately, even if the [Slaughter Divine Format] were crushed and transformed into Fruits of Faith, it would only equate to Ma Ran not doing anything for ten days or so, just staying home and reaping the benefits.

Adding the seven billion believers from Blood Mist Star this time, after thoroughly converting them, the faith power converted from crushing the Slaughter Divine Format, Ma Ran estimated, would only equate to about two or three days of yields.

The conversion efficiency is too low, too wasteful!

Besides...

Using the [Xuan’s Faith Ranch] medal to crush the [Slaughter Divine Format], it also consumes faith power!

Revenue and expenditure neutralize each other, not only does it not profit, but one could even say it’s a significant loss!

As for giving the divine format to Earthlings for analysis, or cultivating a divine format system deity belonging to the Earth Faction?

After careful consideration, Ma Ran found that neither was feasible!

The overall technological level of Earth is too low, far from analyzing the divine format.

Cultivating a divine format system deity belonging to the Earth Faction...

Sounds wonderful.

Unfortunately, if using this divine format to cultivate a Third Generation God of Slaughter, once the opponent reaches a certain realm level, they will ultimately view "killing Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei" as part of their advancement quest.

Spending so much effort cultivating a traitor destined to betray, what’s the point?

Doing that would be better than directly sealing it in a wine jar and sinking it into the sea depths, out of sight, out of mind.

But sinking it into the sea is also unreliable.

Times change, there’s bound to come a day when the sea runs dry and rocks crumble, and although Ma Ran possesses the [Prophet] medal ability, he’s not the [All-Knowing One], unable to handle everything perfectly.

If another enemy, like Ti Sheng, also enjoys the time advantage, and only a few days pass on Earth yet they have already practiced for eighty thousand years, it would be like lifting a rock only to crush one’s own foot!

Therefore...

He can only waste some of the accumulated faith power painstakingly gathered from Earth, forcibly obliterating the Slaughter Divine Format using the [Xuan’s Faith Ranch] medal!

It’s somewhat akin to playing an online game, putting much effort in defeating the boss, only to find one’s backpack slots aren’t full, only being able to take sixty percent of the loot, and no matter how one carefully selects, some good things would ultimately be wasted.

Wanting to sell the extra drop items cheaply would also incur high postal, transportation, and labor costs—not as good as just leaving them behind.

Seeing Ma Ran’s slightly furrowed brow, Su Qiangwei stepped forward.

It wasn’t quite a telepathic connection, but Master Qiangwei could tell what this teammate was thinking at just the slight raise of his eyebrow.

"If it’s feeling tricky, just leave it to me to handle!"

Su Qiangwei, full of confidence.

In the vast cosmos, divine formats could be considered relatively advanced cores of extraordinary power.

But...

The saying goes again—superpowers are the cure for all defiance!

What kind of trash law, divine format?

With [Myriad Transformations] in hand, Master Qiangwei is destined to become a supreme expert that can obliterate even the great ways with ease in the future!

Such a trifling divine format, what does it matter in front of her?

With those words, Su Qiangwei took the red coconut-like Slaughter Divine Format from Ma Ran’s hand. After observing it briefly, colorful light flowed through her fingers, and with a flick of her dainty hand, she completely crushed it!

Pop!

A crisp sound spread throughout the entire Blood Mist Star.

Those who were in a frenzy and bloodthirsty state because of Ti Sheng regained their sanity at the same time.

Scintillating crimson dust drifted into the wind, and in an instant, transformed into units smaller than ionic quarks, then immediately annihilated, no longer existing!

The seemingly casual act actually involved Su Qiangwei using over a dozen superpowers related to divinity.

The result was that...

During this process, Su Qiangwei, who had already slimmed down considerably from the battle, became even more emaciated, appearing like a frail girl who could be blown over by the wind.

Even so, Su Qiangwei stood in the wind with one hand behind her back, her demeanor calm yet exuberant: "How about that?"

See how great Master Qiangwei is?!

Ma Ran’s eyelids twitched, as he earnestly nodded: "Not bad."

Su Qiangwei pouted, murmuring: "Can’t you praise me a bit more? So perfunctory!"

"Speaking of which..."

"While I was obliterating the [Slaughter Divine Format] just now, some of the superpowers I hardly used before suddenly started to stir, combining on their own, helping me to perceive some mysterious phenomena!"

"Can’t describe it with words, and don’t know how to put it."

"Probably... it’s a kind of special energy equivalent to Inner Qi, Star Power!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Ran’s mind stirred, gathering spiritual power like a scanner, he swept over Su Qiangwei from head to toe.

He realized, after obliterating the Slaughter Divine Format, Su Qiangwei’s value as an [Audience] had shot up another level!

This is great news!

"Time’s up."

Ma Ran suppressed the slightly upturned corners of his mouth and grabbed Su Qiangwei’s arm: "It’s time to rendezvous with them."

This time, instead of using instant teleportation, they honestly flew.

In Su Qiangwei’s current state, not to mention using instant teleportation, even flying a bit faster might cause Ma Ran to worry about her sudden demise.

This individual was the most valuable [Audience] in the history of the [portrayal] ability judgement system, one could say she was Ma Ran’s lifeline!

She must be well protected.

As he flew through the air with Su Qiangwei, Ma Ran’s thoughts wandered.

The Second Generation God of Slaughter, Ti Sheng, died silently, ridiculously aggrieved.

This shows that being cautious is a great virtue, but being overly cautious is not a good thing either.

The opponent had such tremendous capital and foundation, if they had gone all out from the beginning instead of trying to save their trump cards or run away when the situation looked grim...

Even with Su Qiangwei assisting, Ma Ran would find it tricky.

But the opponent ultimately chose the "safest" approach.

Sometimes, Ma Ran feels there may be some cognitive differences between himself and others.

It’s like during a game, obviously consolidating forces for a direct push on the main base ensures victory, yet some instinctively believe in pursuing "safety", insisting on tearing down all three paths, inadvertently giving the opponent a chance to breathe.

In Ma Ran’s view, that’s not safety.

That is the lack of decisiveness at crucial moments.
