In the world of Evangelion, Li Yu stepped out amidst the gazes of countless naked maidens, and in the next instant, he appeared on the moon. Not far away, a body encased in ice crystals floated silently—it was Adam, with only half his torso remaining.
Although completely frozen by Absolute Zero, Adam was not dead. His single eye rolled around, filled with pleading.
Li Yu was not in a hurry to take his life; with just a thought, Adam would immediately explode and die.
The main reason was that Adam contained the Fruit of Life. If he were killed now, it might prevent the Tree of Life from restoring its complete form.
For him, the most valuable thing in this world was always the legendary God-Slaying Weapon.
Li Yu's gaze turned towards the lunar surface.
In his perception, a giant tree, thousands of meters tall, was tearing through the lunar crust, growing madly upwards.
Its trunk was composed of gnarled, twisted brown material, like countless contorted bones entangled and extended. Its roots, like greedy pythons, delved deep into the moon's core, drawing its essence.
The branches split into billions of thorn-like spikes, their tips glowing with a dark red light.
Inside the branches, viscous liquid energy flowed like blood vessels, its color as deep as congealed blood. The tree's surface was covered with countless distorted human faces, seemingly wailing silently.
The canopy spread out like a sky-draping cloud, obscuring half the moon's view. Dozens of immature, giant fruits hung among them, resembling swollen human uteruses, their surfaces covered with a vascular network of neural synapses, pulsating slightly with energy flow.
Although the ground around the giant tree was covered with patches of green plants, presenting a false vitality, in Li Yu's eyes, this Tree of Life exuded an aura of predation and destruction from inside out.
If someone had indeed planted it back then, their purpose was certainly not to propagate humanity, but rather it seemed like a precise biological weapon: propagating, evolving, harvesting, and ultimately achieving complete plunder of the entire planet's consciousness.
But none of that mattered.
What Li Yu wanted was not its current form, but the possibility of restoring it to the spear of longinus. There were many gods in his world!
Li Yu flew towards the Tree of Life. As he was about to approach the moon, a web-like golden AT Field barrier radiated from the giant tree, with rhomboid light patterns flickering in the void, enveloping the entire moon into a biological fortress.
Everything indicated that this Tree of Life had its own consciousness; it was resisting Li Yu's approach.
Li Yu hovered in deep space, his black hair dancing silently in the vacuum. His eyes were devoid of emotion.
"Futile!"
The moment these two words were lightly uttered, Li Yu's right fist slowly retracted to his waist.
Around his body, no surging Cosmo light ignited. Instead, a ring of extremely restrained ice-blue halo spread out from his body as its center.
Even in the vacuum of space, the temperature was far from Absolute Zero.
The temperature in space is approximately -270 degrees Celsius. Although only 3 degrees away from Absolute Zero, these three degrees are the boundary between gods and mortals!
The power of Absolute Zero was compressed to its extreme!
In the vacuum of space, sound cannot travel. A point of cold light, transforming into a silent ripple of destruction, shot out suddenly.
The spacetime of the entire universe seemed frozen, and even the light of stars dimmed at this moment.
The punch landed.
There was no roar, no tremor.
A fist print condensed from ice crystals suddenly pierced through the vacuum, leaving a faint blue frosty trail in its wake.
The golden AT Field on the moon's surface was like fragile glass, cracking into countless pieces of icy dust and debris the moment it made contact with the fist print.
The fist print penetrated the lunar core without any obstruction.
Boom!
The moon suddenly trembled violently, and the green vitality on its surface instantly froze to death.
Centered on the impact point of the fist print, a dark blue ice layer spread wildly, instantly engulfing the undulating mountains and freezing the pulsating branches of the Tree of Life.
The giant tree, thousands of meters tall, emitted a silent wail. The uterus-shaped fruits hanging between its branches were filled with frost, and the neural network on their skin burst during freezing, turning into fine ice crystals.
The lunar crust embrittled in the extreme cold. Spiderweb-like cracks tore open the surface at a speed beyond physical limits. The dark red life energy, before it could seep out, was permanently sealed deep within the profound ice.
Within a few breaths, this green satellite, with its distorted vitality, had transformed into a desolate icy husk.
The tree roots beneath the ice layer were fossilized and monstrous. Residual lunar fragments floated in the vacuum, like stardust scattered for this silent funeral.
Li Yu retracted his fist, his gaze piercing through the frozen lunar core, accurately locking onto the spear of longinus, deeply embedded at the root of the tree, now revealed in its true form as impurities were stripped away by the extreme cold!
This divine spear was hidden deep within the lunar core. As the moon shattered, the tip of the spear of longinus reflected a cold, god-slaying light!
This God-Slaying Spear was about twenty to thirty meters long, its entire body a twisted, dry tree trunk, covered with a dark brown, keratinized bark-like outer shell.
The spearhead was formed from the sharpest branch, and its end split into two spiraling, intertwined branches. Li Yu flew over and grasped the spear shaft with one hand.
A low growl immediately echoed in his mind, and the spear body struggled violently in his palm!
Hmm? Disobedient?
Li Yu flicked his hand. The spear body vibrated at high speed, and a wisp of golden electrical light, tracing along Li Yu's arm, coursed over the spear body, crackling. The spear emitted dark greenish-black smoke.
The golden electrical light grew stronger and stronger, completely submerging the entire spear in golden lightning. Li Yu would never allow a weapon to possess its own thoughts.
If it refused to submit, he would simply destroy it!
After a moment, this God-Slaying Spear finally quieted down. Its attribute panel popped up before Li Yu's eyes.

Li Yu had heard of this spear in his previous life.
It is said that Jesus, the Son of God, was pierced through the side by this spear and died, which shows its considerable lethality against divine beings.
Li Yu raised the spear of longinus in his hand and gave a slight flick of his arm. The spear transformed into an arrow shot from a bowstring, flying towards Adam, who was completely frozen!
Although Adam couldn't move, his suddenly wide-open single eye revealed the terror in his heart at this moment.
"Save, save me! Number One!"
Snap!
With a soft sound, the spear of longinus was firmly grasped by a hand before it could pierce Adam's body.
This hand, covered in a red glove, emerged from a spatial rift that suddenly opened beside Adam.
Immediately after, a strong man with underwear worn on the outside and a large red cape on his back slowly emerged from the spatial rift.
He grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said to Li Yu with a smile.
"We finally meet, Third Generation Hunter!"
