Chapter 113: Rod of God_1
```
Regarding playing a mage as a warrior.
Logic held deep grudges about this, recalling when he watched Ultraman as a child, seeing Tiga rush into melee combat only to be beaten red every time.
Back then, he naively ran over to cheer on.
It wasn't until he grew up that he realized that creature was actually a mage...
Except for Da Gu, that is.
Another who played a mage as a warrior was The Ancient One.
Logic could never understand it; as a Sorcerer Supreme who made "Mage Play" look effortless, even he could develop all sorts of strange magic to achieve terrifying destructive power.
Why couldn't The Ancient One do the same?
Instead, she wielded a fan every day, engaging in close combat and ended up being stabbed by her own well-behaved disciple...
But, come to think of it...
Maybe she just wanted to retire.
After all, the position of Sorcerer Supreme, while incredibly powerful and mysterious to ordinary people, was to The Ancient One just a shackle, like being forced to code in a small room for centuries—how dull and tasteless that would be!
But it didn't matter.
Logic would take action!
It wouldn't be long before he would go on to inherit the title of Sorcerer Supreme, because in addition to magic, the Sorcerer Supreme also possessed a Cosmic Treasure, the Time Gem.
Being able to peep into time, this treasure was exceedingly precious in any universe.
Apart from that universe where life was good, with technology that could halt time, there was probably no easier place to acquire time-based technology than the Marvel Universe.
Facing Logic's resentful words, Shi Qiang grew awkward with excitement; he had gotten too carried away, too excited.
After all, not many were willing to spar with him, and as a police officer, you can't just hit people; you have to protect the rights of criminals and such...
Finding a monster that had no rights, wasn't it perfect for practicing his punches and kicks?
Shi Qiang remembered his mission, which was to test the Great Sage Battle Armor's performance and find any shortcomings in combat.
He quickly got serious again, but soon he had to cough awkwardly and ask a question that quieted the air, "Cough! Logic... I have a question... with so many buttons... which one do I press?"
In the midst of battle.
Asking which one is the battle armor's skill?
Such an idiotic action was like asking which one is the brake while someone is teaching you to brake.
But this wasn't Shi Qiang's fault.
It was just that Logic, in crafting the Great Sage Battle Armor, had added many materials, all to endow the armor with the most comprehensive offensive capabilities.
But he forgot that, without the assistance of an intelligent system, it would be almost impossible for an ordinary person to deftly operate the battle armor.
Even fighter pilots need five years of training!
Let alone a mech suit!
Just being able to run, jump and launch attacks was already quite good.
So Logic shared with Shi Qiang the ultimate secret to controlling the Great Sage Battle Armor, "Press the biggest one! But let's get one thing straight; that attack has a wide range, so you'd better lure the monster into the Pacific Ocean!"
"You're not setting up a tactical nuke, are you?"
When it comes to human weapons capable of devastating destruction on an enormous scale, the first thing that comes to mind is often nuclear weapons.
The thought of merging with a nuclear bomb and nearly making direct contact sent a myriad of curse words racing through Shi Qiang's mind. He loved mech suits, but not like this!
Logic's words offered him some reassurance.
"Relax, it's not suitable for me. I'm a good person; how could I possibly use something so dangerous?"
As long as it's not a nuclear weapon, it's fine...
Shi Qiang operated the Great Sage and flew towards the Pacific Ocean, even kicking the monster hard in the eye before turning away, which elicited an endless roar from it as it chased after him, wings flapping furiously.
```

"Then bring it on!"
Shi Qiang pressed the largest button, and he saw the Battle Armor of Great Sage's hands wrap around its back, embracing something in a very awkward manner.
The next moment.
He saw it.
It was a stick...
A stick was attached to the back of the Great Sage Battle Armor—how fitting, wasn't it?
Shi Qiang thought it was a weapon.
But in the blink of an eye, with a swish that went beyond the friction of the Battle Armor's hands, the stick soared into the sky, whistling as it disappeared into the clouds without a trace.
"What's this about?"
He couldn't understand.
But on the other side.
The human elites of the Pacific Rim Earth had their eyes wide open; they were not fools. The moment the monster appeared at the city walls, they received the news.
They didn't move immediately.
It was because they saw a mech that didn't belong to them, nor to any country; an unregistered mech.
Investigating Shi Qiang's identity became their first choice, rather than choosing to help him deal with the monster!
They had just seen Shi Qiang's soaring figure and the immense power brought on by the powerful engines, and those human elites tasked with observing the battle drew in countless breaths of cold air.
They also saw the stick that ascended to the heavens amidst the friction from Shi Qiang's hands.
"What is that?"
"Quick, call up the satellite!"
"What is it?"
A group of people stood in front of the screen, staring fixedly at the stick that flew into space at an impossible speed, their brows furrowed. Yet soon, all of their faces turned to utter horror.
"Impossible!"
The stick in space took an oddly impossible turn at a sharp angle.
Carrying its already terrifying speed, it then plummeted straight towards Earth, the tail end of the stick emitting a faint blue glow.
It was passing through the atmosphere!
The air was burning!
It had become the most terrifying and dazzling meteor, crossing the daytime sky, dragging a long flame trail behind it, and plummeting directly towards the ground!
In just a short span of a few dozen seconds.
It fell from space to the ground.
With a speed the monster couldn't react to, it smashed onto the creature's body with a bang. There was no visible point of contact because the splash that shot up to the sky was tremendous, and the horrendous impact, like a wild stampede of thousands of horses, pulverized everything in the vicinity.
The behemoth was no more.
All that remained was debris too fine to be seen with the naked eye, along with the billowing smoke and the terrifying tidal wave that seemed to engulf the skies and shatter the earth.
With a painfully grim tone, the human elites of the Pacific Rim Earth cried out in horror from deep within.
"The Rod of God!"
Even more terrifying than the movies they made, the Rod of God was a technologically superior weapon with immense destructive power, low cost, no pollution, and a vast range exceeding that of nuclear arms—a decisive weapon.
Shi Qiang looked at the cataclysmic scene of destruction before him, the corner of his mouth twitching involuntarily. This was even worse than a tactical nuclear missile...
You, Logic, are a good person...
I don't believe you for a second!
