"Star Howl: You think I don't understand connection? I was once part of the Harmonious World, and I've witnessed the truth of 'all are one'—it's nothing more than countless individuals having their edges smoothed out, turning into cogs in a massive machine. The connection I weave with destruction is a hundred times more intricate than the fragile resonance you maintain with warmth."
"Star Howl: The choices and warmth you sing of collapsed the moment the cry for help rang out. I am not a traitor, but the one who will end this cosmic farce—while you are just a pitiful person trapped in the illusion of 'connection' and unwilling to wake up."
"The Robin: Fallacy..."
Sunday: Sister, there's no need to be angry about such a villain.
"Fireworks: Two women are arguing~ So exciting, I love watching it."
Chapter 173 The Great Lord of Annihilation Holds a Meeting
The scene shifts again, and Huanlong's enormous figure appears on screen.
Beneath the altar, thousands of believers prostrated themselves on the ground, their heads bowed towards the throne, their robes brushing against the cold stone steps, even their breath conveying reverence for the gods.
[On the throne, her figure was hidden in a halo of light, her gaze sweeping over the crowd below, her voice carrying an undeniable authority.]
【“Yes.”】
"Demise is not a process, but an outcome."
Before she finished speaking, a cluster of eerie purple flames fell from her fingertips. The flames, upon touching the ground, instantly flared up, transforming into a destructive fire that engulfed everything, licking at the altar's stone pillars and igniting the prelude to this grand war.
"Let the foolish hunter nock his arrow and kill those he loves and those he believes in."
The flames of war quickly spread to every inch of land.
Those who once stood shoulder to shoulder now raise their weapons against each other; bullets pierce the chests of "friends," and swords pierce the hearts of "family."
Blood stained the streets, blurring each other's faces.
"Finally, kill yourself."
As the survivors turned their weapons on themselves, the outlines of the old world finally crumbled in the flames.
The once-mighty city is now scorched earth, the former clamor has turned to deathly silence, only the flames of destruction burn ever brighter on the ruins, illuminating this utterly fallen land.
"Jingyuan: This feeling... is illusion!"
"March 7th: How did she become like this?"
"Huanlong: How is it, my esteemed benefactors? Will my beauty be enough to persuade you all to sacrifice yourselves for destruction?"
"Jingyuan: The alliance will not say anything more. Your only outcome will be to be captured."
The screen suddenly went completely white.
On the boundless snow-covered plain, the falling snow painted the world a pristine white, with only the outlines of a few dilapidated cities peeking out from the snow, their broken walls and ruins silently telling the story of this world's decay.
A traveler wearing a black top hat walked slowly through the snow, the sound of his boots crunching over ice pellets the only noise in the silence.
【"so……" 】
He stopped, his breath blurring the ruins before him, his tone filled with undisguised sarcasm.
"What is the point of this process?"
[His words were full of merciless criticism of the Great Lords of Extinction, who were merely echoing each other and wasting their energy.]
He paused slightly, then added:
"Is it for some kind of ritualistic feeling?"
As he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly—before his eyes, countless struggling, twisted corpses and rusty, broken weapons were piled together, forming a magnificent structure resembling a palace. The cold snow falling on the remains only added to the eeriness and desolation.
The traveler lowered his hat brim slightly, then nodded slightly, his tone slow and deliberate, like a true gentleman offering a sign of respect.
"Mourning a world that no longer laughs."
"Hanabi: This is really too much! No fun, no fireworks... Hanabi-sama is going to cry~ T﹏T Hehe, no, waaaah~"
Sambo: This guest certainly has unique tastes, but... poor old Sambo, I really didn't see it coming.
"Walter: According to records, before the Extinction Lord departs from the planet he destroyed, he maliciously leaves a huge smiling face on its surface, as if mocking the passing of all existence."
Those worlds that he has his eye on will be swallowed up by his vicious jokes.
March 7th: Another awful guy!
"Shut up: Isn't this also a kind of star-like laughter (howl)?"
"Pam: Shut up, shut up, Pam."
"Star: Is this for dealing with Aha? @Aha, say something."
"Aha: Are you going to come after Aha? @Nanook! Aha has brought you destruction!"
"Fireworks: Go, Rakugo!"
"Sambo: Go Lezi Shen!"
"Gui Naifen: Why did Aha confess his feelings to Nanook?"
"Star: Maybe it's because He brought Aha a lot of fun."
"Aha: Nanuk: I've brought you your favorite fun."
"Aha: This is so funny, Aha will die to liven things up for you guys, hahahaha."
"Ah: Before you die, can you take a carriage down to find Akivili?"
Pam: Don't even think about it, Pam!!!
The scene abruptly shifts, plunging into a chaotic world—the boundary between illusion and reality. In the hazy light and shadow, a blurred line stretches across the horizon, the very line of existence.
Huang Quan, the guardian of the River of Oblivion, stood silently, his gaze fixed on the trembling mass of blood-stained spirit before him.
Her voice was calm yet possessed a penetrating power as she slowly asked:
"Do you... remember what happened?"
The Blood Demon's form was distorted by fear, and tiny ripples of energy constantly emanated from its body.
[It trembled as it gathered its consciousness and spoke with difficulty, each word imbued with a chill from the depths of its soul, recounting a memory it could never let go of:]
"I saw a point of light that dimmed the stars..."
The image was etched deep into its memory like a brand—a tiny speck of white light pierced through the sea of stars, and when it touched a star, the massive celestial body instantly lost its light, then shattered in a silent explosion.
Even more terrifying, this chain of destruction did not stop; the four stars collapsed one after another in an instant, turning into cosmic dust.
["Then existence was torn apart! Only a despairing white remained..."]
The Blood Demon's voice suddenly rose in pitch, then quickly fell back, as if it were reliving that catastrophe.
"Enveloping entropy and time..."
The scene shifts to the front of Huang Quan, where an absolute white comes into view.
A person who falls into nihilism would normally shed all their colors and sink into it.
But he refined the faded colors into the purest white.
"Bai E: It's him! The one who will fight me in the future."
"Fenfeng: I... am actually looking forward to the sun having some heat."
"Wan Di: HKS, even though I know there's no hope of winning, if you appear in front of me, I'll still give you a punch with all my might."
"The Fire Thief: Ha...ha."
"Gold Sand: If we don't take this diamond, we won't be able to handle it, will we?"
"Hanabi: That's more like it. If a certain Grand Duke were still alive, this kind of destruction... hehe."
Sambo: How long has it been? Are you still bringing this up to desecrate a corpse?
"Pam: If this doesn't work, the train conductor can see if we can drive the train directly into Onfaros."
"Danheng: This does seem to be the safest approach."
"Star: But won't we all be wiped out?"
"March 7th: If we go in in batches and something happens, won't the others just stand by and look for us?"
Chapter 174 The True Face of Laogu City
The cold, black sun hung in the sky, thick, golden blood slowly flowing down its edge like molten metal falling downwards.
The jet-black liquid dripped down and landed precisely on a blooming, bountiful flower. The petals instantly lost their luster, wilting into a charred, charred afterimage.
A figure slowly descended from the shadow of the dark sun, her ethereal skirt sweeping across the shattered stardust. She raised her right hand, palm up, her posture revealing a rare respect, her voice echoing solemnly:
"Greetings to you, Creator God."
"With a denial of the very roots of the universe, we offer up a magnificent destruction."
Before she could finish speaking, another deep voice came from the void, intertwining with her words:
"Together we come under your gaze,"
The moment the words left his lips, the entire starry sky shattered, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle being dismantled, peeling away and falling to the ground.
Countless enormous shadows emerged from the cracks in the starry sky—colossal beasts of destruction, roaring and tearing open the heavens. One of these beasts slowly spread its forelimbs—and as light swirled, a woman in a white dress appeared.
A halo of stars, like a veil, obscured her eyes. As her skirt spread out, starlight shimmered across it, as if the entire starry sky had been woven into the fabric.
"Witnessing the end of a colleague."
Her voice was light and cold, like shards of ice colliding: "Whether he is crowned or falls, it will be the end of his long-cherished wish."
In a shattered world, ruins floated in the void, and the figure of the King Forger emerged from behind the ruins of a dilapidated skyscraper.
He was surrounded by a heavy metallic aura, needing no words—for the shattered world around him had already spoken volumes.
The broken buildings and dissipating dust, like a shattered, fragile mirror, reflected his silent silhouette.
"Is simply witnessing something a bit too formalistic?"
A mocking voice broke the silence.
Gui Ji slowly emerged from a pale, empty void, his leather shoes making a soft sound as they stepped on the air.
He slowly tightened his bow tie, then removed his top hat, revealing a conspicuous purple hand growing from his neck—its five fingers long and slender, gleaming with an eerie light.
