The Fall of Curtis

Lister's blade now possesses a spatial binding effect, and the Overlord One, confident in his abilities, didn't dodge at first, so there's even less reason for him to dodge now.

The mechanical behemoth's quantum shield overloaded instantly, and his alien metal armor, along with his mechanical body, was cleaved in two at the waist and abdomen.

Of course, external injuries don't necessarily mean anything.

The mechanical tissues in the waist and abdomen reconnected the instant the attack ended.

However, the eyes of the Ruler One became dull and lifeless at this moment.

His aura instantly weakened, a sign that his soul was severely injured and he was unable to recover immediately.

Attack: Total true damage dealt: -10,173,354 points...

It still comes down to the passive enhancements from Saber Soul Mastery and Robust Soul Strengthening.

Nowadays, even the most frail Hegemon cannot withstand a single strike from Lister's swordsmanship.

With the added lethality of his Merrick Saber Technique, even World Annihilation powerhouse wouldn't stand a chance against him if they weren't physically strong.

This is the damage he sustained before even entering the second stage.

All I need are high-purity Soul Crystals.

"Are you sure you want to gamble your entire civilization for this?"

Lister's idea from beginning to end was Soul Crystal.

At least up to now, he has not considered eliminating any of the three.

However, if the other party does not cooperate, after testing the strength of the Ruler One, he is confident that he can leave all three of them to sleep forever in this barrier.

The Ruler remained silent, his dim eyes fixed on Lister.

The next moment, his previously weak aura instantly recovered and grew stronger.

Deep within the pupils of his eyes, a purer, more violent, and icy will ignited.

Analysis complete: Target attack strength: SSS, attack is entirely aimed at the soul... Initiating final protocol... Authorization code: Termination Sequence Zero.

A mechanical, synthesized voice echoed in Yi's mind, devoid of any emotion.

Buzz--!

An indescribable force field suddenly erupted with the Ruler One at its core.

The space within the position is like a pond with pebbles thrown in, rippling with high-frequency vibrations.

Every single particle that makes up his body is screaming, boiling, and struggling to break free from the constraints of the microscopic level!

The next instant, it completely disintegrated before Lister's eyes.

Countless tiny nanounits annihilate and collapse on an invisible level, releasing pure energy powerful enough to ignite stars.

Space groaned under the immense pressure of this compression, light seemed to be sucked into a bottomless pit, and the location of the Ruler One rapidly transformed into a dark singularity that devoured everything.

The next second, the singularity exploded!

The human-mechanical features of the Overlord One have completely disappeared, replaced by a massive geometric core composed of pure high-energy crystals.

The core is an irregularly shaped polyhedron with deep purple mechanical inscriptions on its surface.

[Skill: Machine God Armament (SSS) LV240:...]

Star Core Disintegration Rays (SS) LV240

...]

[Overall Rating: SS]

Is he the strongest among the Star Machine Civilizations, or the strongest among the mechanical beings?

Originally, the player had a mere 20 million HP, but after entering the third stage of liberation, the HP soared to 70 million.

Furthermore, this upper limit can continue to increase; compared to Ni, I's strength is indeed much greater.

And now this huge, irregular geometric shape resembles a complete war machine.

Countless Star Core Disintegration Ray erupted from its various surfaces.

It was incredibly fast, but it wasn't a fatal attack for Lister.

Just as he was about to dodge, an irresistible force suddenly erupted from the core of the gigantic geometric form that the Ruler had transformed into.

It was launched almost simultaneously with the Star Core Disintegration Rays.

Lister found that the space around him had changed at that moment.

It's not just a simple spatial confinement, but rather the gravitational rules of the entire star field being manipulated Twist.

At the same time, a huge fragment of a stellar remnant floating beneath his feet suddenly collapsed inward, slamming into his back with the force of pulverizing matter!

The blazing purple light of the Star Core Disintegration Rays and the material storm stirred up by the collapsing stellar debris behind him arrived at Lister's position almost simultaneously!

At the critical moment, Lister's figure suddenly blurred.

The Flash skill he gained while inside the Eye of Ashes Barrier now allows him to handle these attacks with ease.

An SSS-level Flash, reconstructing space with itself as the anchor point.

Even though the spatial rules of this star field have been altered, for Lister, the moment Flash, he can re-anchor and reconstruct space.

Furthermore, they completely disregard any restrictions imposed on others' personal space.

When the figure reappeared, it was already behind this enormous geometric shape.

Before he could even draw his sword, crimson locking spots appeared on the multifaceted crystal surface of the Ruler One with millisecond precision.

There is no concept of turning around; for the Ruler One, every 360 degrees is a battlefield.

His keen combat instincts were screaming warnings, but in the end, he didn't have time to unleash the prepared strike!

The void beneath their feet seemed to be instantly gripped by an invisible hand!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a silent collapse that sent chills down your spine.

The area where shattered star debris floated and ashes drifted was suddenly shrunken inward into a point of absolute darkness under the absolute control of the Overlord's Will!

The terrifying spatial gravity even Twist and bent the surrounding light, causing it to rush into the all-consuming dark spot.

The spot where Lister landed instantly became a graveyard of gravity!

Fortunately, he had already Flash and escaped.

However, in the full-fledged combat mechanical god state of the Overlord One, seven or eight Star Core Disintegration Rays wrapped in deep purple lightning, like precise surgical scalpels, had already silently shot out from different facets of the geometric body.

The target wasn't the location Lister had just been in, but rather all the path nodes he might have dodged!

Predict, calculate, lock in, erase!

The attack logic of the Overlord One is now integrated with this battlefield, omnipresent and ever-present!

Wherever Lister went, space and attacks followed him closely, without stopping for a moment.

With such a high degree of intensity in his attacks, whenever he tried to strike his opponent, he would inevitably suffer damage himself.

As expected, even the weakest Star Machine Civilization had a powerful and troublesome leader, One.

Meanwhile, Ocas on the other side was having a great time.

The chains binding them had completely broken free of themselves, and like venomous snakes that have smelled blood, they instantly tensed, coiling around blinding white flames, all pointing at the battered Curtis and the Ruler II.

Ocas's signature maniacal smile Twist, his eyes gleaming with Destruction and mockery.

"Xumi, where are the other two from the Void Corridor?"

"Could it be that we're still in another dimension?"

"Hehe~! They've got so much free time on their hands~! Haha!"

With that, the chain lashed out violently, tearing through space with a shrill whistle, and lashed out at Curtis's severed arm, which had just been regenerated from void energy!

"Ugh--!"

Curtis let out a suppressed roar of pain. The energy that had been painstakingly gathered at the wound was directly ripped away by the chains containing the Fire of the End, and the dark golden mist dissipated wildly.

His only remaining, cracked, natal rhombus core spun wildly, attempting to build a defense, but it appeared to be on the verge of collapse under Ocas's frenzied yet precise attacks.

A mighty world -World Annihilation powerhouse, yet before Ocas, he could only be whipped and Curtis with, his dignity as World Annihilation powerhouse trampled underfoot.

His eyes were filled with humiliation and hatred, but deeper still, there was undisguised fear.

That was an irrational fear of Ocas. The current humiliation could be avenged later, but if Orcas truly intended to kill...

On the other side, the other half of the chain transformed into an invisible cage, instantly imprisoning the space-time surrounding the Ruler II.

Those scarlet "Mechanical Poison" sparks, which were originally the aftershocks of Er's corrosive attack that he was so proud of, were now, under the pressure of Ocas's blazing white flame chains, like ice shards thrown into a furnace, emitting a sizzling sound, and quickly dimming and annihilating!

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at this pitiful little spark."

Ocas's voice was full of malicious mockery; aside from when facing Lister, he was always accustomed to maniacal torment in his daily battles.

The physical attack was accompanied by psychological trauma.

"Iron lump, is this all the Mechanical Poison your Star Machine Civilization is so proud of?"

"You really disappoint me. How could Yi have such a useless brother like you?"

The Ruler II was much more composed and was not affected by Ocas's words.

Lacking sufficient strength, he is now waiting for Yi to severely injure Lister so he can come to his aid.

This humiliation struck him squarely at the most sensitive nerve as a high-ranking member of the Star Machine Civilization.

The data flow inside the Prism head instantly became disordered due to intense logical conflicts, emitting a piercing buzzing sound.

His already cracked mechanical body trembled violently.

"Curtis, don't even think about holding back!"

"Let's join forces and give it a shot, let's take him down first!"

That cold, mechanical voice finally moved Curtis.

Rather than being toyed with like this, praying that the other party will have their fun while there's no hope of leaving, it's better to take a gamble.

Although both were seriously injured, they still had the strength to fight!

I wouldn't dare say I could kill Ocas, but I should be able to escape this barrier after suppressing him.

"Oh! Are you serious now?"

"Alright! I'm tired of this too! Let me see what new stuff you guys have hidden."

At this moment, Ocas put away the chains and calmly watched as the two people in front of him couldn't withstand it and began to gamble everything to enter their strongest stage.

The barely assembled rhomboid core fragment of Curtis burst forth with an astonishing dark golden light!

The space behind it began to violently and morbidly Twist, tear, and fold!

Countless broken, disjointed dimensional fragments were forcibly squeezed out, combined, and overlapped like dirty glass!

His gray crystal robe shattered completely, revealing his withered, shriveled body covered in eerie crystal marks.

He seemed to merge with this broken Twist space, his aura surging instantly, but filled with chaos and a sense of self-destruction.

He was enveloped in a massive, unstable spatial vortex composed of countless fragments of planes, each fragment reflecting the afterimage of a dying powerhouse, emitting chaotic and sharp wails.

The power of the void around him surged rapidly, and at the same time, all sorts of strange auras descended upon this space.

Curtis looked extremely pained in this state.

His power originates from powerful beings in other dimensions, and he will naturally suffer from the erosion inherent in these powerful beings.

Meanwhile, the Ruler II's side is composed of colossal mechanical statues tens of thousands of meters tall.

Crimson power gathered within the statue, causing its life force and aura to continuously increase.

Although it ultimately fell short of one, it still had nearly 60 million life points.

As expected, the potential of mechanical classes in many aspects is higher than that of magic Class Holder in the later stages.

It's both durable and powerful, and most of its attacks are area-of-effect damage.

Unlike magic-based Class Holder, whose health is now so low that a single mis-attack could cost them their lives.

Of course, mages like Ocas are on another level.

"Yes! That's it!"

"That's more fun! Haha!!"

As Ocas watched the two of them simultaneously enter the third stage, his manic smile reached its peak, and his eyes shone with an astonishing light.

At this moment, the dark golden light emanating from Curtis suddenly collapsed, and countless fragments of planes condensed behind him into a Twist Phantom that spanned a star field—it was clearly the battle stance of a high-level plane -World Annihilation powerhouse.

The World Annihilation of the Void Corridor can not only draw in other dimensions.

In its true form, it can even attract powerful individuals from other dimensions and draw upon their strength.

With a single, powerful gesture, he brought his hands together, and in an instant, the entire barrier battlefield was torn open with spiderweb-like spatial rifts. A dimensional tide powerful enough to annihilate stars surged toward Ocas!

"This is finally starting to get interesting!"

Ocas laughed maniacally, and the runes on the surface of the blood-red chains instantly turned dark black.

When the Destruction energy touched the chains, it was rapidly swallowed up as if it had been thrown into the sea.

Even more bizarrely, the chains suddenly broke.

The other end appeared as if by a spatial leap, appearing in front of Curtis before finally piercing straight into Curtis chest.

Ah~!

The screams of excruciating pain were unbearable for both Curtis and the powerful Phantom behind him.

The chains split off on their own, Phantom and imprisoning both the phantom and Curtis.

Ocas's smile slowly faded, and with one hand raised forward, an inexplicable sense of ending and annihilation poured out from his body.

Kaos's aura suddenly surged and intensified, and his life force and overall power were completely different from before.

The indescribable power within him, seemingly representing the end, ultimately merged entirely into the chains.

In that instant, the powerful aura surrounding Curtis seemed to sense the danger of death and began to withdraw.

This caused his surging aura to weaken once again, and the huge Phantom behind him now showed fear in its eyes.

When they tried to escape, they found themselves completely locked in their current spacetime by chains.

The chains were even frantically draining the power from his body.

"Since we're already here, why leave?"

Let's stay together.

The aura of the end, after converging at a few points, erupted completely.

Curtis and the Phantom of this powerful figure were gradually annihilated and vanished without a trace.

The chains were just a web series that Ocas liked, while the Power of the End was the core of the Church of the End.

It is a powerful force capable of reducing all power, matter, and life forms to nothingness.

This youngest World Annihilation powerhouse in the Void Corridor ultimately perished under Ocas's attack.
