The Machine-Slaying Federation Is Founded!

Seeing that no one responded, Kaos shook his head to himself, looking rather bored.

After surveying the entire near-sphere orbit, they looked as if they had discovered some interesting toy.

In another flash, he was already in front of the Crimson Archbishop.

His eyes were full of curiosity as he stared at the books in front of him.

The chains binding his body now stirred restlessly, slowly freeing themselves and approaching the enormous, dark red book like tentacles.

The Crimson Archbishop's signature wicked smile froze.

On the contrary, Kaos's previously bored expression immediately turned into a smile, not sinister, but full of madness.

"This book is great! Are you selling it?"

The chains never directly touched the dark red book, but they were already continuously wrapping around its perimeter.

The enormous dark red book seemed to sense the danger, unleashing a tremendous force, but it was immediately blocked by the chains.

Only Crimson blood seeped from the book, sliding down the chains and finally dripping into the void, disappearing without a trace.

"Lord Kaos... this is the Milky Way Galaxy, please don't joke with me."

Crimson is a presence that all the Hegemon in this entire galaxy cluster fear and dread.

Although he was a standard mage, the dark red book he held was actually used to cast strange and unpredictable spells.

They also possess amazing perception and even some precognitive abilities.

Coupled with his personality, his signature wicked smile, and his past crazy battles, it's safe to say that before Lister emerged, he was undoubtedly the most powerful Hegemon in this star cluster.

Even now, in the eyes of many Hegemon, it remains an entity not to be trifled with.

But in the face of Kaos, the true madman of the Church of the End, he behaved quite differently.

Compared to Kaos in front of him, the Crimson Archbishop was much more pleasing to the eye, reliable, dependable, and even gave people a sense of security.

The Crimson Archbishop may appear sinister, but he is exceptionally reliable and decisive when carrying out missions or fighting.

This Kaos is a complete madman.

His facial expressions seemed to convey only a matter of interest or disinterest, or a question of whether or not to Destruction something.

"I know this is the Milky Way Galaxy, otherwise why would I be asking you?"

After saying this, Kaos reached through the chains with one hand and grasped the dark red book.

The next moment, the power of the book was activated again, as if for self-protection, and scarlet blood beads kept gushing out, enveloping Kaos's palm.

The sounds of flesh and blood being corroded and digested could be clearly heard throughout this star field.

Although there are many people in the star field now, their eyes and attention are all silently focused on Kaos.

They all dared not breathe too loudly, fearing that any movement might provoke this terrifying being.

Despite watching his palms being corroded by the dark red book, Kaos showed no sign of pain.

On the contrary, the interest on his face intensified, and a wild and maniacal laugh followed.

At this moment, the Crimson Archbishop's expression was extremely solemn. He could sense that his dark red book had not been affected in any way.

It was simply a defensive counterattack, and he even intentionally controlled the strength of the counterattack.

Unfortunately, it seemed like this Kaos in front of him had his eye on him.

Fortunately, the Crimson Archbishop breathed a sigh of relief the next moment.

There was no other reason than Lister's figure had silently appeared beside him.

The intense killing intent, and the fact that this thing was beyond his perception, caused Kaos's maniacal smile to fade considerably.

"Lister? You've finally shown yourself."

Kaos continued moving, while carefully observing Lister with his eyes.

Overall, there wasn't much change, but the aura emanating from him was far stronger than when we met ten years ago.

"Kaos, have you had enough fun?"

After Lister finished speaking, he saw that the other party did not make any move.

He immediately raised his hand and made a sweeping motion in the air with his fingertips.

A crimson ripple spread through the void, and the chains that Kaos had been binding the dark red book were suddenly locked and solidified by the killing intent.

Immediately afterwards, a tiny space was torn open, and at the same time, the chain was easily severed in half.

The Crimson Book finally broke free from its control and returned to the hands of the Crimson Archbishop.

Only then did Kaos's smile completely vanish, replaced by a truly serious expression.

That move just now, from any perspective, was beyond his expectations.

Especially the stagnant, fragmented space before us, severing the other side from that strange brilliance.

Furthermore, with Lister's current level 23 aura, he is truly no weaker than him.

"No wonder the Ruler II suffered a great loss at your hands!"

"I never imagined that in just a few years... you've grown to such an extent!"

"It seems... we really can become allies."

The seriousness on his face lasted only a few seconds before Kaos returned to his calm.

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the Crimson Archbishop.

The broken chains were rejoined before everyone's eyes, and the corroded hand was instantly healed in the blazing white flames.

An exaggerated expression of regret reappeared on his sharply defined face.

"Oh, just kidding!"

"Your book is great! If I had seen it thousands of years ago, I would have stolen it from you."

"But now... even if you gave it to me, I'd find it too bulky."

After saying that, Kaos deliberately brushed against the opponent's armor as the chain retracted, making a series of ear-piercing noises.

In fact, he now treats this book as a fun toy.

The book is interesting, but it can't compare to the chains binding him.

That last move was purely to attract Lister's attention.

There is very close exchange of intelligence among World-Ending Level forces, especially some semi-public intelligence.

In the Gray Domain Galaxy, news of Lister's fatal blow to the Overlord II, causing him to flee, has already spread to various major powers.

He even stabbed Aiselyn, though the specifics of the attack are unknown.

But Aiselyn isn't as active as she used to be; I've heard she's even stopped her daily patrols within the Emerald Royal Court.

It is evident that Lister's skills have grown rapidly.

His main purpose was to test Lister's true strength.

The two factions have not yet formed a real alliance in name or in fact.

After all, Lister's new power has not yet been formed, but in practice, it is no different from an alliance.

Kaos initially accepted Lister because of Lister potential, including the desire to reshape the current power structure.

Given the disparity in strength between the two sides, the term "alliance" is somewhat inadequate.

But now, with just Lister's finger-blade alone, they truly possess the strength to form an alliance with their Church of the End.

"If you're going to observe the ceremony, then observe it properly!"

I don't want us to have to fight again today.

Lister's voice, accompanied by Killing Intent Wave over everyone present today.

The overwhelming killing intent sent chills down everyone's spines.

Seeing that Kaos did not respond, he vanished again in a flash.

Kaos stared at Lister's disappearing figure, then suddenly grinned.

He then swaggered toward the audience seats, with representatives from other factions making way for him as he passed.

Following Kaos, a new superpower has arrived.

The Star Machine Civilization and the Crimson Covenant came together.

The two arriving were the Hegemon of their respective factions, who were initially quite arrogant.

He seemed to have a sense of superiority over the group of Hegemon present, but his expression instantly froze when he saw Kaos sitting in the audience.

No matter how proud they were, they dared not show it in front of Kaos.

His pace quickened unconsciously as he made his way to his seat in the spectator group, while also trying to stay as far away from Kaos as possible.

Besides these two, the Emerald Royal Court followed closely behind, and the one who came was not an ordinary Hegemon, but Aiselyn herself.

The arrival of yet another World-Ending Level powerhouse caused everyone present to subconsciously swallow hard.

He secretly marveled at the remarkable new power of Lister.

Everyone assumed that at most, the Order of the End would send a representative from Lister's newly established World Annihilation force.

I never expected that Kaos himself would come.

Despite being the publicly recognized eighth super power, no one believed this new force would gain widespread acceptance.

So far, a total of four super powers have come to observe the ceremony, and two World Annihilation have also personally attended.

With more than half of the seven major powers represented, it's only natural that Lister's newly formed force would become the eighth superpower, and there's no need for any further objections.

But the surprises didn't stop there. After Aiselyn entered, two more fleets arrived.

This time, these are two other superpowers that Lister has never encountered before.

The warships of the two fleets have very different styles.

The exterior of one warship is inlaid with various enormous skeletons, and some warships are even built from skeletons.

This is a warship of the Spirit Remains Star Abyss, whose forces worship death and are dedicated to the immortality of the soul.

They collected the remains and remnants of powerful beings everywhere, building a vast undead empire.

The warships of another fleet behind the Spirit Remains Star Abyss were pure black, without any decoration or inlay.

In the starry sky, without the illumination of stars, it would be difficult to subconsciously discern whether the warship exists.

This is the Eternal Night Royal Court, a super-power in the universe.

The universe begins in darkness and returns to darkness.

They believed that light was merely a fleeting firework, and that only darkness was eternal.

They strive to create a world of Eternal Night.

Although Spirit Remains Star Abyss and Eternal Night Royal Court have different ideologies, their warriors' power systems are actually quite complementary, which has led to their alliance.

Of the seven major powers in the universe today, the Emerald Royal Court and the Void Corridor, the Star Machine Civilization and the Crimson Covenant are on the other side.

Only the Church of the End, which remained an independent entity from beginning to end, was able to maintain a balance.

This also demonstrates the power of the Church of the End among the seven super powers.

Of course, this situation has now been quietly disrupted by the forces of Lister.

Furthermore, with his alliance with the Church of the End, both sides have become targets of public criticism to some extent.

It's just that a relative balance has been maintained for the time being; everything is pinned on the battle less than 400 years from now.

Of the seven super powers, only the Void Corridor sent a delegation.

Once most of the people had arrived, Lister, along with Kavin and the others, finally appeared on the stage.

Aiselyn, seated in the ceremonial section, kept glancing between the two.

The same applies to other forces; everyone has seen the battle footage of Lister, one of the two World-Ending Level powerhouses.

On the contrary, Kavin seems to be unknown now, but his World-Ending Level aura serves as a constant warning to everyone.

This World-Ending Level powerhouse, Kavin, is certainly not someone to be trifled with.

Lister stood before everyone, his body surging with a crimson crystal formed from killing intent.

The already solemn atmosphere was further deafened by the absence of any private conversations.

Everyone's attention was now focused on Lister, feeling his powerful, suffocating killing intent.

"I hereby declare the 'Machine-Slaying Federation' officially established today!"

Lister's voice, carrying Killing Intent Wave throughout the star field, each syllable causing the space to tremble.

He raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and a scarlet blade formed from killing intent instantly appeared.

Aiselyn's expression changed drastically on the right side of the viewing area, her amber pupils reflecting the scarlet blade.

This is the blade that recently cut me.

Unexpectedly, it was entirely constructed from murderous intent.

Before Aiselyn could fully perceive and investigate, Lister had already swung his sword through the air.

The crimson blade light tore through the void like a blood moon.

The sharp edge formed from the ultimate killing intent carved a crack ten thousand meters long in the star field. The scattered crimson light seemed to linger in the hearts of every spectator, making all the Overlord Tier powerhouses feel suffocated instantly.

The Crimson Archbishop's dark red tome suddenly flipped to the last page on its own. The viscous blood beads seeping from between the pages were automatically activated, attempting to form a defensive barrier, but were instantly vaporized into mist by this terrifying killing energy.

The ice crystal longsword at Ewaer's waist creaked under the strain, and the frost Hegemon almost knelt in submission, but thankfully he managed to hold on.

"This... is the sword technique that could wound the Ruler II?"

The soul fire in the eye sockets of the Skeleton Messenger of the Spirit Remains Star Abyss flickered violently, and its body, pieced together from the remains of more than a dozen Hegemon, was creaking.

The representative of the Eternal Night Royal Court was even worse off; the shadowy substance beneath his black robe was forced to collapse continuously by the scarlet killing intent, revealing his pale body inside.

Suddenly, the metallic creaking of taut chains echoed from the viewing platform.

Kaos's blazing white flames were suppressed to a thin layer within the killing intent domain, and the chains around him clung tightly to his robes, binding him completely.

But his maniacal laughter only grew louder.

"Haha! Great!"

"That was a beautiful cut!"

The blade's edge swept across the entire viewing platform, and also past the numerous representatives of ordinary star systems behind it.

Finally, it came to a stop in the middle of the entire star field, and a huge spatial rift was cleaved open.

For the first time, countless magnificent colors within the crack were displayed so clearly before everyone's eyes.

Even Kaos and Aiselyn, both world World Annihilation, were internally acknowledging and raising their expectations of Lister's strength.

They naturally possess the power to tear or shatter space; in fact, many powerful Hegemon can do just that.

But to achieve something like this, completely shattering space.

This is the first time I've ever seen a space in that vicinity be completely severed and shattered, yet impossible to restore.

Kaos couldn't help but recall Lister's finger-blade strike, and his gaze drifted back to that point.

The rift in the smiling space, created by the finger-blade, still remained.

It is slowly repairing itself at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"This is the galaxy under the control of my Federation."

The ceremony continued, and the killing intent crystals behind Lister, as if controlling his own limbs, actually constructed a partial map of the galaxy.

It encompasses a total of 36 galaxies near the Milky Way Galaxy.
