Slaying Sailuo
Sailuo Beta's Chaos and Disorder Domain fully unfolded, and the spatial laws of the entire star field began to Twist.
The meteorite belt suddenly reversed its rotation, the starlight was cut into fragmented geometric shapes, and even the scarlet blade light that Lister unleashed was strangely bent in mid-air.
"You think someone with World-Ending Level can do whatever they want?"
Sailuo's severed left arm radiated dark golden energy, controlling the order of the entire star field.
"The Beta Civilization ruled the galaxy for tens of thousands of years, and that wasn't just empty boasting!"
Having said that, he suddenly clasped his hands together, and the space around Lister instantly collapsed into a nine-layered Klein bottle structure.
Gravity from different dimensions was tearing at Lister's body at the same time, while these forces were constantly disappearing at intervals.
The disordered yet ordered attack made it impossible for Lister to predict or dodge.
"Notification: You have entered the 'Abyss of Disorder (SSS)' space, trapped in a high-dimensional space, your sense of control is disordered, and all attributes have decreased by 17%."
"Notification: Robust Soul has taken effect, Merrick Saber Technique, Resolute Heart... have taken effect, and the reduction in all attributes has been reduced to 3.7%."
It is, after all, the long-standing Hegemon of the Galactic Federation.
Moreover, this is an unpredictable Hegemon from another faction; indeed, their methods are unique.
The feeling of the decline in his four-dimensional attributes was secondary; it was the sluggish and uncomfortable sensation of power stagnation throughout his body that was making him more irritable.
The next instant, a chaotic and disordered energy continued to surge forth from this Abyss of Disorder.
Within this chaotic space, the disordered and disordered energy unexpectedly gained order.
At this moment, it continues to collapse inward, forming a singularity resembling a black hole.
Besides the chaotic energy itself, it also began to absorb the surrounding energy.
It can absorb the Mechanical Energy dissipated by Kavin and others during the battle, the magical energy of Zion, and even the killing intent and pressure of Lister.
"So this is what they call World-Ending Level... nothing special!"
With Sailuo grin, Selene pushed the singularity toward Lister's chest.
The speed wasn't fast, but it seemed impossible to escape in this chaotic space.
As Lister teleported, this singularity could also teleport along, but it would approach him precisely at an even faster speed.
The spatial rift torn open at the edge of the black hole had shredded Lister's mechanical breastplate into pieces.
A strange light flashed in Lister's eyes; it was the first time he had ever experienced such a bizarre attack.
"Damage suffered: Attacked and corrupted by the Chaos Singularity, taking -394429 damage. Subsequent corruption is now 31.7% immune."
Damage suffered: Singularity Erosion -33291 points, -35320 points.
Lister's body was blasted away at that moment, his figure crashing through seven orbital defense satellites, and finally embedding into a specially designed data collection device in the ring belt of a nearby planet.
Sailuo pursued them, stepping on the ripples of space, and the chaotic energy once again transformed into a singularity.
It swiftly pierced through Lister's forehead, causing his health to plummet instantly.
Just as Sailuo his advantage and preparing to launch another attack, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.
Lister, who was close to him, suddenly unleashed a new level of oppressive power.
A strange sense of fear welled up inside me, and I immediately sensed something was wrong, so I quickly retreated.
Lister did not pursue, but instead closed his eyes and felt the Battle Intent Eruption.
At the same time, the Saber Soul deep within his soul rose once more.
Having learned from the first experience, this time the Saber Soul instantly possessed Lister's body, completely merging with it.
At this moment, flesh and blood began to steam, and an astonishing aura of blood emanated from his entire body.
In an instant, his pupils turned a pure dark red, and his killing intent grew even more extreme and frenzied.
The Shadowless Blade was completely enveloped in crimson energy, transforming into a strange, blood-red blade, much like the eerie blade in the soul space.
"Notification: Health is below 30%, entering the Battle Intent Eruption phase. Attack power is increased by 1780.8%, current damage reduction is 55.6%..."
"Notification: Saber Soul Mastery has taken effect, entering the Battle Intent Eruption phase. The Saber Soul has been summoned, increasing the power of blade-based attacks by 70%."
When Lister opened his eyes again, the entire star field was suddenly plunged into crimson.
Feeling every muscle, bone, and even nerve in his body Saber Soul Possession, the sluggishness completely disappeared.
Instead, it has radiated unprecedented vitality and a perfect sense of control.
Moreover, compared to the previous resonance with the Saber Soul, this time it seems to be more fitting, and the application of the Saber Soul in my heart is also more intuitive and resonant.
With a wave of his right hand, the energy on the scarlet blade pulsed like breath.
At the same time, an almost tangible killing intent began to coalesce according to Lister's will.
A Phantom Saber Soul rose from the ground behind him, and a dark red giant blade, thousands of meters high, pierced through the sky.
The Sailuo and Twist laws of space suddenly emitted a crisp sound like shattering glass.
The tangible killing intent forcibly shattered a localized area of Abyss of Disorder!
The next moment, Lister unleashed a single-handed slash.
The eerie, blood-red blade that stretched across the star field behind him trembled slightly, then followed Lister's movements and slashed out.
"This is the real... World-Ending Level?"
Feeling the blade's light drawing ever closer, brimming with extreme killing intent, Sailuo murmured involuntarily, before his expression shifted to one of utter disbelief and shock.
"This... is impossible!"
Watching his singularity, formed from chaotic energy, being swept away by the aftershocks of the blade's light, vanish silently like a bubble.
His proud SSS-level domain is now being crushed in the most brutal way.
That's right! It wasn't a breakthrough, but simply crushing everything with the ultimate attack of that one strike!
Without the protection of the Abyss of Chaos, the old Hegemon Sailuo finally showed fear in his eyes.
With arms crossed, he summoned twelve layers of chaotic barriers, each flowing with endless chaotic power, enough to deflect even the Overlord Tier attacks into the void.
"Hiss--!"
The anticipated resistance did not occur.
The moment the blood-stained blade struck, the twelve layers of barriers shattered one after another, like fragile eggshells.
Sailuo backward, spewing blue-gold blood mist, and barely stopped after crashing through seven battle stars.
He looked down at his chest—most of it had been cut away.
The pain of the wound is secondary; what is most unbearable is the slash that penetrates deep into the soul.
The attack seemed to have truly cleaved his soul in two.
Attack: Deals a total of -10,768,381 points of true damage.
With just one strike, Sailuo's health dropped below 10%, putting him on the verge of death.
If Merrick Saber Technique hadn't been still on cooldown, Lister was confident he could have killed Sailuo in one strike.
Of course... now it just takes more effort.
His figure appeared before Sailuo like a bolt of lightning.
Immediately afterwards, he kicked him in the chest and stomped on him.
The Shadowless Blade in his hand was raised high and then lowered, while the thousand-meter-long dark red giant blade behind him was also raised high.
At this moment Sailuo's entire body had entered another special phase.
His power was completely disrupted, but his aura was steadily recovering and strengthening.
Health points recover at a visible rate.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
All he could see in his eyes was a scarlet blade piercing between his eyebrows.
The crimson blade of the starry sky followed closely, piercing his soul.
The aura around him instantly subsided, and the chaotic atmosphere of the battle also faded away.
Notification: Sailuo Beta has been killed, gaining 62,389,882 experience points.
Finally, after killing him, the situation on their side became much clearer.
Lister turned his gaze and noticed that Kavin and Boren seemed to be in danger in the distance.
The two faced off against Zion Kyle, currently the strongest being in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Kavin also suffered from his insufficient rank.
Although it's World-Ending Level, it has only reached the 19th rank.
The difference in strength between Zion and Zion is at least 5 levels, which is difficult to bridge even if Zion is only Hegemon.
At this moment, the annihilation energy at the tip of Zion's Staff had solidified into a physical form, and the surface of the dark red orb was covered with spiderweb-like spatial cracks.
In Kavin's data stream view, the radius of the energy ball was expected to triple with each rotation.
This was not just a spell to attack the two of them, but a Destruction spell to evaporate Boren's entire mechanical army.
"Phase folding displacement preparation."
Kavin's voice rang in Boren's ears.
"Jump to θ-7 in 3 seconds."
Boren nodded silently.
Although he had lived in the Galactic Federation for nearly eight thousand years, this was also the first time he had seen Zion take action.
This truly made me realize the terror of this so-called annihilation energy.
This spatial ring, primarily composed of annihilation energy, is even more terrifying than the "Star-Burning Ring" from before.
This extreme annihilation energy made it impossible for him to even entertain the thought of resisting it.
As this annihilation energy was continuously amplified, its power far exceeded their expectations, and Boren suddenly pushed Kavin away.
It's too late.
After saying that, his breastplate split open, revealing the star core reactor, as if he had already made the worst-case scenario plan for this battle.
This is the idea of turning oneself into a mechanical bomb.
"I'll hold him off, you go help..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zion's staff had already swung down.
The dark red sphere of light exploded silently, transforming into more than a dozen ever-expanding Ring of Annihilation.
When the first halo touched the mechanical army, tens of thousands of mechanical soldiers instantly vaporized, leaving not even a trace of metallic vapor.
As the second halo swept across, Boren's Starlink Network began to crumble, and the mechanical army melted away like snowflakes under the scorching sun, without even a chance to reorganize and regenerate.
The Truth Barrier that Kavin temporarily activated only lasted for 0.3 seconds before shattering.
Boren didn't even have a chance to get close enough to trigger his own "bomb."
Just as the annihilation energy was about to engulf the two, a scarlet blade of light swept across the entire star field.
The indescribable crimson Phantom of the Saber Soul, and the gigantic blade thousands of meters long, carried a power far exceeding that of the annihilation energy.
They managed to sever the Ring of Annihilation, which was in the middle of its third eruption, right in the middle!
"Boom--!"
Amidst the turbulent surge of annihilating energy, Lister's Shadowless Blade pierced the void.
The trembling of the giant blade behind Saber Soul formed a special killing intent shield, which withstood the energy torrent that the Ring of Annihilation had completely unleashed.
A jade vein on his left arm was now fully lit up, a result of the baptism he received from the Tree of Eternity.
This jade vein can continuously restore its nearly depleted stamina, as well as rapidly heal its wounds and health.
"Leave Zion to me."
Lister shook off the annihilation energy that clung to his blade.
"You go and deal with the other Hegemon."
Thirty kilometers away, Zion's robes fluttered in the energy storm.
The most powerful figure in this Witchcraft Civilization finally revealed a solemn expression.
It wasn't just because of Lister's current terrifying state, or the unprecedented Phantom of Saber Soul behind him.
More importantly, the blade capable of severing the Ring of Annihilation is something that has never been seen in his lifetime, or in the entire history of the Galactic Federation.
"So this is the power of World-Ending Level force?"
Zion traced the patterns on his staff with his fingertips, speaking slowly.
"No wonder the Eternal Sea of Trees... and the Qingteng Vine obey your commands."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lister's voice began to rapidly approach.
Even if Zion, the inheritor of the oldest Witchcraft Civilization in the Milky Way Galaxy, was confident that he would be no match for him in this state, he was still a formidable opponent.
However, we must remain vigilant and, in battle against such a powerful mage, quickly close the gap.
With the Saber Soul Possession and free from the interference of the Sailuo, Lister's movement speed was the highest he had ever experienced.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Zion and slashed at him with his sword.
The moment Zion's staff clashed with the Shadowless Blade, the entire star system fell into an eerie silence.
The annihilation runes at the tip of the staff intertwined with the crimson blade of killing intent, creating a Twist vortex of spacetime that tore even the light of stars into spiral ribbons.
The dark red in Lister's pupils suddenly surged, and the Phantom the Saber Soul spirit flowed directly into Zion's staff along with the sword's momentum—this was a collision at the soul level!
"Snap!"
Fine cracks appeared on the surface of the "Staff of Annihilation," a weapon passed down through millennia of Witchcraft Civilization, and for the first time, Zion's face showed horror.
His amber skin beneath his robes suddenly cracked, and strange black blood flowed from his eyes.
Attack: Deals a total of -9,219,938 points of true damage.
Damage suffered: -2,932,838 points.
With just one clash, Zion's health plummeted, and he too fell into a near-death state.
However, his expression remained calm, suggesting that the situation was still under his control.
The next instant, Zion suddenly tore open his robes, and a unique energy crystal core appeared out of thin air on his forehead.
An even more terrifying force of annihilation seemed to be released at this moment.
Zion's body was being particled, with countless dark red particles forming an ancient Annihilation Totem.
This is more than ten times more terrifying than the previous "Ring of Annihilation".
It should be the ultimate spell of the Witchcraft Civilization, and this spell is like the manifestation of rules.
The spatial structure of the star system surrounding Lister began to disintegrate.
It's an attack that can't be avoided either.
The endless power of annihilation pressed down on him, and intense pain followed.
"Damage suffered: -6,760,909 points, -2,219,240 points,..."
After several attacks, Lister's health instantly dropped to zero.
Fortunately, at that moment, Jiji's figure appeared on his shoulder.
Notification: Host's health is below 5%, Death Resistance has taken effect.
"Forcefully removes all negative effects, restores health to 30%, and temporarily increases the host's four main attributes by 60 points."
Feeling the rapid recovery of health points and the extreme boost of 60 points to all four attributes.
Lister no longer held back; as expected, this veteran Hegemon of the Milky Way Galaxy, especially the magic-based Hegemon, possessed formidable offensive capabilities.
A crimson power gathered once more on the wrist guards.
"Notification: Merrick's Tyranny Bracers have been activated, increasing all four main attributes by 55 points and physical attack by 45%. Remaining duration: 59 seconds. Remaining cooldown: 4 days."
