"Pfft—!"

  On the cliff, Daoist Singularity violently spat a mouthful of blood, splattering the screen of the Heavenly Dao Tablet.

  His consciousness had fully dived into the underlying data sea of the Underworld. This was an ocean of light composed of golden 0s and 1s, representing the countless rules maintaining the operation of this world.

  In the center of the ocean stood a purple tower—that was the firewall of the Blood Sea Ancestor.

  The tower was impregnable, constantly self-repairing and growing taller. The countless "Logic Bombs" (virus code) released by Singularity hit it, leaving only shallow marks that were smoothed over immediately.

  "Damn it... insufficient privileges..."

  Singularity's divine soul was trembling. Although his "Heavenly Dao Backdoor" key allowed him entry, it didn't give him permission to "Modify" core data. He was currently just a visitor with "Read-Only" access.

  Meanwhile, the battle below remained deadlocked.

  Although Slayer could ignore rule suppression, that purple "Causality Shield" remained like an unbreakable turtle shell.

  Every time an attack was blocked, the Ancestor's mockery grew louder.

  Singularity looked at the green figure silently swinging his fists even with no chance of winning.

  An unprecedented gambler's mindset surged in his heart.

  "Since I can't change his code..."

  Singularity looked at the purple tower representing the Ancestor, then at the boundless golden data sea surrounding it (Environmental Rules).

  "...Then I'll change the Environment!"

  It was a crazy idea.

  If the Ancestor is a fish, and the shield is scales. The scales are too hard to break.

  Then drain the water. Turn the air into poison gas. Turn gravity into repulsion.

  If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

  I'm not targeting you. I'm targeting the whole world.

  [System Command: Invoke Administrator Highest Authority (Force Execute).]

  [Target: Environment_Settings.]

  Singularity's trembling finger drew an extremely complex rune in the void—the forbidden code of "Reversing Heaven and Earth."

  "With my True Spirit as sacrifice... MODIFY!"

  Hum————!!!

  The underlying data sea of the Underworld boiled instantly.

  In the real world.

  Slayer had just punched the purple shield, preparing to endure the recoil.

  Suddenly.

  The world around him changed.

  The originally dark red Blood Sea began to flash colors wildly, turning into eerie neon green, deep space blue, even black and white mosaic.

  Gravity direction reversed instantly.

  Whoosh!

  The originally downward Blood Sea suddenly flowed upwards like a waterfall toward the sky.

  The Ancestor's giant face twisted due to the sudden gravity shift.

  "This... what sorcery is this?!" The Ancestor realized in horror that the rules around him were collapsing.

  [Modification 1: Physical Constants.]

  [Friction: 0.]

  [Air Resistance: 0.]

  The Ancestor's originally stable body suddenly began to slip. He drifted randomly in the air like an out-of-control balloon, unable to fix his position.

  [Modification 2: Energy Conductivity.]

  [Setting: 10000% (Superconducting).]

  This meant any tiny energy fluctuation would be amplified ten thousand times.

  Slayer keenly sensed this change.

  He didn't panic due to the drastic environmental shift. On the contrary, his excellent combat instincts adapted instantly to this "Glitch Environment."

  Zero friction?

  Use thrusters for propulsion.

  Energy conductivity off the charts?

  That's tailor-made for the BFG.

  Slayer raised the BFG.

  This time, he didn't even need to charge.

  He just lightly pulled the trigger.

  Zzzzt!

  A green energy ball only the size of a ping-pong ball shot out.

  But blessed by the "Superconducting Environment," the moment this small ball left the muzzle, it expanded into a green sun a hundred meters in diameter.

  BOOM——————!!!

  The massive energy ball slammed into the Ancestor's purple shield.

  This time, no reflection.

  Because the environmental rules were changed. Energy was no longer conserved; it was infinitely amplified.

  Crack! Crack! Crack!

  The purple shield, claiming "Adaptive Evolution," finally emitted the sound of shattering under the impact of energy ten thousand times its limit.

  "No... this is impossible! This is the Heavenly Way! How can you modify the Heavenly Way?!"

  The Ancestor's screams echoed in the reversing Blood Sea.

  On the cliff, Singularity bled from his seven orifices, his consciousness blurring. His body was becoming transparent—the price of burning his divine soul.

  "Sacrifice vs Gamble."

  Singularity looked at Slayer, who was still at ease in the glitched world below, a pained smile appearing on his lips.

  "I can't change your fate... but I can demolish your house."

  "Big Hero... the rest... is up to you..."

  As Singularity's last bit of strength ran out, he collapsed heavily to the ground.

  But before falling, he input the final command.

  That was the final blow against the Ancestor's core code.

  [System Command: Variable_Change.]

  [Target: Invincible.]

  [Operation: True -> False.]

  "Next chapter, Boolean and Integer. Singularity is down, but he unchecked that damn box."
