I’ll Go Mad First, Then Slay the Gods

"Ding! Highest-risk psychiatric hospital in Jiuzhou detected. Patient 001, Lin Xiao. Divine-godhood index: infinity!"

That day, my autopsy was livestreamed around the world. The scalpel sliced into my chest, only for a bloodstained ancient bronze sword to spring out.

The entire internet erupted: a boy diagnosed with "severe delusional disorder" had split the moon in two!

You think this is an illness? No. It's a human taking aim at a god.

Beneath the neon lights, an eight-headed serpent coils through the subway tunnels. On top of an office tower, the Norse Thunder Gods descend with a roar. And most absurd of all, the gods of Daxia have all vanished, leaving their divine authorities hidden inside my head.

"Godslayer System bound. Today's target: kill the Kraken disguised as a top-tier star idol. Reward: +1 copy of The Compendium of Daxia's Gods."

Hospital gown on my left, godslaying blade in my right. By day, the nurses chase me to make me take my medicine. By night, I chase the gods and make them take a beating.

One by one, my fellow patients reveal their true identities: Bed 302 is the world-ending Black Dragon, Bed 525 is a fallen angel, and the hospital director is none other than the missing Jade Emperor?

The more gods I slay, the stronger I get, but the crazier my medical records become.

"Lin Xiao imagines himself to be the last god of Daxia."

Damn it! I'm not trying to get discharged. I'm going to purge all the worlds and slaughter the "mysteries" back into mythology!

When the moon heals again, I see another version of myself. Clad in divine robes, he raises his blade toward me.

"Lin Xiao, before you uncover the truth, you'll have to kill... the god of the future."

In this world that belongs to humans, I'll go mad first, then slay the gods!
