The Void Corridor's Fury

After the chains had finished strangling Curtis and the Phantom of the otherworldly powerhouse, they now exhibited a strange rhythm.

Upon closer inspection, the chain rises and falls rhythmically, expanding and contracting as if it were breathing.

It completely absorbed all the remaining aura and energy left after Curtis and this powerful being from another dimension were annihilated.

Finally, the two ends of the chain were reconnected, and its strength seemed to have increased considerably.

Ocas's wrist twitched, and he suddenly gripped the end of the chain tightly.

The frenzied gaze had locked onto its next target like a leech—the Ruler II!

"Your turn, you iron lump!"

Ocas's voice carried the satisfaction of having tasted Destruction and the cruel excitement of seeing new prey.

As soon as the words were spoken, the chains carrying the energy of the end times, like tentacles reaching out from hell, silently and swiftly tore through the void, piercing straight for the purplish-red energy core in the chest of the Ruler II!

Wherever the tip of the chain swept, all obstacles and dust were annihilated.

A piercing alarm bell blared from inside the mechanical statue of the Ruler II!

Faced with this terrifying attack imbued with the Power of the End, he found it extremely difficult to withstand.

They can only instinctively deploy their prized mechanical shields, Mechanical Energy shields, and even Mechanical Poison barriers, layering them one by one for defense.

However, these multiple shields melted and dissipated as quickly as boiling water splashed on snow the moment they came into contact with the Chains of the End, proving to be utterly vulnerable!

Although both are World Annihilation, the gap in individual strength at this combat power level can be even greater.

The Ruler II, severely wounded by Lister's sword and utterly powerless to retaliate, was practically at the very bottom of the World Annihilation.

Even that strike was one in which Lister held back slightly, not intending to kill.

If he weren't already at level 24, he wouldn't even be able to suppress Kavin.

Now, already severely injured, facing Ocas at full strength, he once again felt the gap in skill.

The chains are no longer just a physical impact, but a kind of erasure of rules, like the return of all things to nothingness!

Within the enormous metallic pupils, the torrent of data instantly descended into chaos.

In recent centuries, the cold shadow of "death" has once again been reflected in my eyes!

The last time was precisely when we faced Lister directly.

"Two!!"

The Dominator One's massive, cold, and highly efficient multifaceted geometric core erupted with its first shout outside of battle!

Clearly, he could not stand idly by in the face of the deadly crisis Er was confronting.

A massive, multifaceted crystalline shell instantly abandoned all the precise locking and spatial compression applied to Lister, forcefully reversing its trajectory!

Countless sharp geometric facets tore through space, narrowly slicing into the death path between the chains and the two at the last second!

A brand new geometric barrier lit up in front of Er.

The fear in the eyes of the Ruler II immediately lessened, but in the next instant it turned into panic and confusion.

The chains of Ocas broke again before the barrier.

The lead chain silently crossed the barrier and pierced straight into the energy core of the Ruler II.

At the same time, the ruler, Yi, also felt a gloom in his heart.

In a battle between top-tier, World-Ending Level powerhouses, he could temporarily suppress Lister by using the density and mobility of his mechanical attacks.

Or, to put it another way, it's about playing a game with Lister, whether or not to trade blows.

However, if the offensive slows down even slightly now, it would be tantamount to deliberately selling an opening to Lister.

A powerful killing intent rushed straight to his face, and his soul was locked in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the Ruler One returned to defend himself once again.

The massive, sophisticated, and flawless Machine God Armament allows for extremely fast repositioning and re-engagement.

Unfortunately, that brief moment of hesitation had already given Lister the initiative.

Even if they tried their best to defend, it was already too late.

Lister's killing intent had seeped into the longsword, having been nurtured to its limit, and the killing intent that had been integrated into the very edge of his soul erupted without reservation.

A single slash!

There was no deafening roar, no dazzling energy storm.

Only a single, extremely refined, and incredibly fast crimson blade of light, faster than the speed of thought, silently Flash in the trajectory of Lister's sword swing.

This blade of light was no longer a simple crystallization of energy or killing intent; it seemed to be a wound torn open by the very rules of the universe.

Where the blade passed, space was no longer shattered, but rather, like silk being cut by a red-hot blade, it silently "dissolved" to both sides, creating a narrow, elongated slit leading to nothingness.

An ominous dark red aura flowed along the edge of the rift, the mournful cry of the remnants of severed spatial rules.

The blade's target was chillingly precise—it was precisely the most vulnerable, yet also the most deadly, point where the soul of the Ruler One and the core control center of that massive geometric structure intersected!

This is the point that Lister found through observing the attack and defense patterns, using Killing Intent Wave and intuition at the soul level.

The only slight discordant element beneath the seemingly flawless form of the Ruler, Part One.

Hidden behind layers of shields, force fields, and spatial Twist, it was now slashed across without hesitation by the blade's edge.

Puff--!

The anticipated collision or even sense of rupture did not occur.

The crimson blade ignored all seemingly solid physical barriers along its path, passing through the spatial shield hastily activated at the last moment, and vanished like a soap bubble.

It even Twist the gravitational beam that was trying to deflect its trajectory, causing it to instantly collapse and disintegrate under the extreme killing intent of the blade's edge.

It finally pierced the core hub at the center of that multifaceted geometric shape with perfect precision.

It sliced through a walnut-sized rhomboid crystal, forged from fragments of a dark star core and flowing with liquid energy!

The moment the sword intent invaded, the world seemed to stand still.

"Buzz--!"

A metallic roar, far sharper and more soul-piercing than a starship explosion, erupted from the depths of the Geometry Core of the Overlord One!

His massive body, composed of pure high-energy crystals, suddenly stiffened.

Countless deep purple mechanical runes, flashing on and off wildly, Twist and shattered!

The energy flow, which had been running smoothly and flowing like a nebula, instantly turned into a violent boiling!

The connecting nodes that make up the geometry burst forth with dazzling sparks of energy, and fine cracks spread rapidly across the entire body like a spider web, with the pierced rhomboid crystal at their core!

Attack: Deals a critical hit, totaling -29,063,314 points of true damage.

Without even entering the second phase, a single critical strike that found the opponent's weak point reduced the Ruler One's health to less than half.

Lister was quite satisfied with the damage he had inflicted with his strike, given the current situation.

If he enters the second and third stages, he will indeed have the strength of a leader among the major World Annihilation forces.

"Sizzle--! Ah~!"

Compared to the severe damage suffered by One at this moment, Two is truly facing a life-or-death situation.

His body was surrounded by chains. These special chains were tangible when attacking, but when the restraint was activated, they seemed invisible.

Based solely on the current state, it is impossible to break free from the chains that bind us.

Ocas was quick to act, continuously gathering the Power of the End on the chains.

The next instant, the massive mechanical statue of the Ruler II also began to disintegrate layer by layer.

Finally, amidst screams, it vanished without a trace.

Two World Annihilation powerhouses perished in a single day.

With the World Annihilation War brewing, Ocas chose to prematurely begin the battle.

Now that the two have met again, Ocas wore a proud, sinister smile and casually began discussing things with Lister.

"Looks like I was one step ahead after all."

Lister did not respond immediately. After gathering his strength in his longsword once more, he turned his head and asked.

What did this person say?

Haha~! It depends on your mood~!

"He hasn't handed over the Soul Crystal yet, has he?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two Soul Crystals were indeed thrown out from the enormous geometric shape of the Overlord One in the opposite direction of the barrier entrance.

Lister's voice blurred for a moment, and the next instant, two high-purity Soul Crystals were already in his hands.

As for the Ruler One, he had already left the barrier.

"I thought you were planning to take them all down today."

In fact, it wouldn't be a problem if Lister didn't go to collect the Soul Crystal first.

Within this special barrier of ruins, the Soul Crystal will not be damaged.

However, Lister had already understood what Ocas meant.

If they really wanted to take action, they wouldn't just stand by and watch; they would fight alongside him.

The deliberate casual conversation was clearly an attempt to let this person off the hook.

"That's too early, there's no need."

"Both the Star Machine Civilization and the Void Corridor have now lost a World Annihilation."

"Given the circumstances of both sides, they still died in the Ruins of Alcaso."

"Let's just wait and see."

Ocas was indeed only outwardly mad; in reality, he had everything planned out.

The loss of a world- World Annihilation significantly weakened the Star Machine Civilization's combat power.

It is currently ranked last among the eight super powers.

It could be said that it was teetering on the brink of collapse and posed no threat whatsoever.

At the other end of the Void Corridor, there were two more World Annihilation, both far stronger than Curtis.

Despite the huge losses, their power can still be maintained.

Given the current situation, it's likely that a secret battle will break out Void Corridor and the Star Machine Civilization.

In the ensuing chaos, cooperation between the two sides will be difficult.

Especially in the Void Corridor, it would be almost impossible not to retaliate.

After all, the Ruins of Alcaso have always been a precious resource that they have been secretly acquiring through the Void Corridor.

Now, the other side has interfered, and neither side has benefited, with the loss of a World Annihilation.

As for the Void Corridor approaching their Star Machine Civilization and the Church of the End...

Lister chuckled inwardly at this thought and shook his head inwardly.

But the other side has to have the real strength. Before finding an opportunity to avenge the two main targets, picking on the weak is something only the Star Machine Civilization would do.

The Void Corridor, inside the core tower of the floating city.

The elders sat solemnly in the meeting room, saying nothing.

The news of Lord Curtis's demise reached them in an instant.

As one of the three World Annihilation leaders of the Void Clan, his life status and information are kept in special records within the race.

Especially for the Void Clan, who frequently travel to other dimensions, if they get into a stalemate, the duty Speaker needs to awaken them or notify them to provide assistance depending on the situation.

When the Void Flame symbolizing Curtis went out, Elder Damon, the guardian, initially couldn't believe it.

After gathering all the elders for confirmation, they finally stared at each other, wide-eyed, and accepted the news in disbelief.

One of their three leaders, Lord Curtis, the Lord of Xumi, has truly fallen.

The conference room was now so quiet you could hear a pin drop; everyone was immersed in immense shock and grief.

Just then, the space inside the conference room began to violently tremble without warning.

Two terrifying auras suddenly descended!

An immense pressure instantly enveloped the entire core tower conference room, the space itself seeming to groan and Twist.

Energy particles in the air emit a high-frequency hum.

The elders immediately looked uneasily towards the main seat, only to see that two figures had appeared simultaneously on the original three thrones.

The Lord of Void Spirits and the Lord of Phantoms are the other two supreme world -World Annihilation leaders of their Void Clan.

Now, they have prematurely ended their important mission in another dimension, forcibly detached themselves, tore through space, and appeared in the conference room in their true form!

They made no unnecessary movements; they simply stood there, and the aura they exuded made the souls of all the elders present, including Damon, tremble.

The air became incredibly thick, and the invisible pressure almost forced the weaker elders to rise from their seats and kneel down.

"Damon, tell me, what exactly happened to Curtis before he fell?"

A cold, emotionless voice, yet powerful enough to pierce the soul, resounded directly in the minds of every elder.

The Lord of Void Spirits's voice contained neither roar nor excitement, only a terrifying chill that seemed to freeze the universe, and an unquestionable command.

Although the Lord of Phantoms remained silent, the space around him Twist dramatically, clearly indicating that his inner state was not as calm as it appeared.

"It's... the Ruins of Alcaso..."

"As usual, we went to collect high-purity Soul Crystals, but we were detected by the Star Machine Civilization."

"After the battle, Lord Curtis personally went there... and finally fought against the Ruler II."

"After that... the Ruler One, Ocas, and Lister arrived..."

As it was the Void Corridor, it already knew everything that had happened within the barrier in such a short time.

Upon hearing the full story, the Lord of Void Spirits frowned deeply.

"How come even the Church of the End is involved?"

"And what about Lister?... The one who was the first to cause Curtis to suffer a loss, the new World Annihilation?"

"Yes."

"Is his strength really that amazing? Is he already comparable to the Overlord One?"

The two beings, Void Spirit Phantom, have long wandered in other dimensions. They only learn about this universe during rare periods of revival or when resting in other dimensions.

I only knew that Lister was quite strong, but I had no idea exactly how strong he was.

Listening to Damon describe the battle, I couldn't help but marvel at it.

"That's right, that's what our intelligence says."

"Lister's strength has increased rapidly. Three hundred years ago, he was able to force the Ruler II to flee with a single strike, and even Aiselyn suffered a great loss under his blade."

"Even Ocas now respects him immensely, and even subtly follows Lister's opinions."
