Chapter 288 Death on a Loop
Finished
Fortunately, the photography equipment Joanna had requisitioned from the Divine Battlefield had always belonged to the PR department. Geneva immediately grabbed the equipment and began broadcasting in real-time, even starting a livestream.
The livestream quickly pierced through the layers of energy fluctuations, capturing detailed footage of the scene. It could even translate sound in real-time through lip-reading and spiritual wave detection.
“Helen, have you lost your mind? Do you have any idea what you’re doing?”
“Lost my mind? Me or you two? The moment I’m gone, you bully my student like this? She ventured deep into the Divine Battlefield to help restore my body, and she made up all her missed credits. And you’re canceling her rewards?
“Who told you to do this?
“Today, either you retract that announcement.
“Or I’ll kill you until you drop below Level 90.”
“Absurd! Helen, you think you alone can take on both of us? I’d like to see if you have what it takes!”
Alonzo roared, then summoned a Memory Tome.
The Memory Tome erupted with blinding, iridescent light.
A piece of Mythic-grade gear.
He manipulated the Memory Tome, seemingly about to write something, but in the next instant, the book was violently pierced through. At the same time, a massive octopus tentacle swept toward them, blotting out the sky.
“Professor Greez, you’ve been in your position too long. You’ve forgotten how to fight. You should be sent to the Divine Battlefield for some training so you can understand just how powerful someone who can slay gods really is!”
With a turn, Helen battle-merged with Hastor, transforming into a terrifying twin entity.
What followed was a completely one-sided beatdown.
The two department heads lasted less than two hours before Helen crushed them into paste.
They exploded.

However, they didn’t actually die.
Once professionals reached Level 90, they gained access to more powerful privileges from the Space Alliance.
As a system that had transformed the world into countless dungeons, it naturally had a resurrection function.
The specific mechanism utilized Mythic-tier time rules to record all of a professional’s data, essentially creating a “save file.”
Starting from Level 90, professionals got one save per level.
Alonzo was currently Level 93, meaning he had saved four times.
Joshua was Level 95, meaning he had saved six times.
What Helen was doing now was killing them over and over until their saves ran out.
As for items like Substitute Scarecrow or Resurrection Scrolls, they were completely useless against Mythic-tier professionals.
A Substitute Scarecrow only activated upon receiving a fatal blow, teleporting the user about half a mile away. In dungeons specifically, death would trigger the teleport.
But in the real world, this item only bought you half a mile, and for a powerhouse, that distance could be closed in an instant.
After Helen killed both of them, they respawned at their resurrection point-the Divine and Demonic Academy.
After all, they had never imagined that anyone would attack them inside the supposedly impregnable academy.
Moments later, Helen grabbed both of them again.
Alonzo and Joshua immediately called for help.
“Professor Weaver, help us! Helen has gone insane and is trying to kill us!”
Laurence watched from the sidelines with amusement.
“Man, I really can’t help you there. Why’d you have to go and provoke her? Joanna earned first place in those departments fair and square. Those resources should be hers. Who told you to target her?”

Alonzo raged. “That’s not what you said before!”
When the Mythic Skill Upgrade Stone incident happened, hadn’t Laurence also blocked Joanna?

Laurence immediately deflected responsibility, snapping back. “And whose fault was that? Joanna is enrolled in three departments. The resources should’ve been split between all three of us. Why should I be the only one paying? Was I targeting Joanna? No, I was targeting you
two.
“You deserve this. You’ve had this coming for a long time.
“If you ask me, you should take this chance to step down gracefully. I think those teachers who recruited Joanna would make fine replacements.”
Alonzo furiously hung up the call and messaged other teachers.
However, the teachers at the Divine and Demonic Academy were divided into many factions.
One type was the administrative faction.
They managed resources, admissions, and rules and regulations.
The other type was the technical faction, the ones who taught the core subjects. You could say there were as many teachers as there were professional classes:
The administrative faction looked down on the technical faction from a social status perspective. The technical faction looked down on the administrative faction based on actual combat ability.
There weren’t many administrators who could actually fight. Alonzo couldn’t find anyone to stop Helen on such short notice.
