“Our team discovered a significant depression underground believed to be for constructing subterranean areas. However, due to collapses, it will take a considerable amount of time to excavate.”

“Residents living in the western suburbs have reported multiple times witnessing a very peculiar sight. In their descriptions, they saw a golden beam of light shooting straight into the sky from the west, lasting only about ten seconds.”

Listening to the report and reviewing the documents, Fury nodded.

“Gather information on whether there has been significant traffic in and out of that area over the past month, and lock down the region.”

“Yes, sir.”

The agent turned and left, leaving Fury in contemplation.

“The power of an explosion equivalent to three thousand tons of TNT within ten seconds does not match the destruction observed in the area. Three thousand tons of TNT could create a crater over a hundred meters in diameter and more than twenty meters deep.”

“The lethality could reach up to five hundred meters, and people a kilometer away could also be injured, while glass windows four to five kilometers away would shatter.”

“The footage of the scene and the effects of the explosion do not align at all.”

“Additionally, considering the ten-second phenomenon seen by residents of the western suburbs, it was likely caused by that golden beam of light. The initial site inspection may yield more clues.”

Fury grew more interested in this so-called golden beam.

“What could cause such a spectacle and force?”

“Some kind of newly developed military weapon?”

“A weapon that fires from the ground to the sky? Some sort of anti-air weapon?”

It's all speculation for now. Fury can only wait for the report from the site inspection, but for some reason, a name suddenly flashed through his mind.

The Celestial was a step below the Sky Father, with a vast difference in power between them, and an even greater disparity below the Celestial.

Though the distinctions in these levels were somewhat blurred and not strictly hierarchical, they represented entirely different tiers of existence.

Compared to those below, the Celestial was already on another level of life.

A life form at a high enough level to reach Celestial status would need time to cross over, often spanning tens of thousands of years.

Bi Xiao suspected he might also be at this stage of the process.

Others might need extensive time to undergo this transformation, but he did not; he just needed to slay more powerful life forms and absorb enough life essence to break through this limit.

The required amount might be immense.

Indeed, he seemed destined for the path of a God Slayer, strengthening through killing, with no return.

Despite reaching a bottleneck, Earth did not offer many suitable prey for him to harvest life essence from, but Bi Xiao was still happy. After all, it had only been a year since his transmigration, and he had already reached this stage.

He still had over a decade to grow, and if Earth lacked suitable prey, he could always seek them beyond Earth.

Some so-called gods were not beyond his reach to kill.

It seemed that the Omnipotence City housed many gods, a thought that almost made Bi Xiao salivate, though these gods were not easy to kill.

Zeus and Odin were gods of the same caliber, yet they were formidable.

Going to the Omnipotence City to slaughter gods would be tantamount to declaring war, and he might face a coalition of gods from beyond the city.

If he were to kill, he had to do so stealthily, possibly pinning the blame on Gorr, letting the God Butcher to take the fall.

After all, there was no difference between Gorr killing and him killing.

Bi Xiao's thoughts drifted slightly; he had not yet experienced slaughtering gods, but he expected it would not be lacking in experience.
