[Overall Rating: SS]

Although this wasn't the first time he had seen Sailianna's intelligence information, he had already briefly investigated everyone using the system during the previous meeting at the Cosmic Fusion Site, when many World Annihilation took place.

Indeed, it aligns with the current general power structure.

The three most difficult World Annihilation to kill are Xavier, Sailianna, and Binn of the Crimson Covenant.

Binn's combat ability is weaker than the first two.

Sailianna is different from the other two World Annihilation from the Emerald Royal Court who are present today.

Their professions are different from the magic-based professions of the two, they are healing professions.

Furthermore, due to the powerful passive effect of the Shadow of the Root Network, Lister would find it difficult to truly kill his opponent.

He had never witnessed this so-called revival of roots and veins.

But it's highly likely to be no less effective than Hoffman's doll survival mode.

Even against Hoffman, Lister could rely on the killing judgment of Merrick Saber Technique to attempt to kill his soul itself.

This Sailianna is a true "resurrection." These old World Annihilation, who have survived multiple World Annihilation Wars, generally possess terrifyingly strong survival abilities.

A hint of solemnity crossed Sailianna's withered face; this was the second time she had marveled at Lister's power.

Completely unexpected, not only was there an astonishing killing intent and oppressive aura during the battle.

The blow that just struck her was even more astonishing.

Ignoring space, it severed directly into the soul, leaving an indelible and chilling scar on her soul.

At the same time, Kavin made another move.

With his health points less than half, his aura and the mechanical power surrounding him suddenly swelled several times over.

Golden Mechanical Energy permeated its surroundings, and the massive war machine continued its relentless advance.

Millions of Star Core Disintegration Rays lit up simultaneously, like precise surgical scalpels, weaving a net of Destruction that swept towards the still stunned Varalos and Aiselyn.

A crimson torrent of Destruction instantly engulfed the star field where the two were located, and huge dark marks were scorched in the void.

Varalos roared, and the ancient wood-grain armor covering his body radiated a heavy emerald glow, his life energy transforming into a raging torrent of roaring emerald vines.

The Giant Plants, catalyzed by endless life energy, collided and annihilated with the decomposition rays.

The massive shockwave completely cleared out the surrounding asteroid belt!

Even though these war machines differ from the dispersed and coordinated state of the Star Machine Civilization, they still possess the ability to launch small-scale, indiscriminate ray strikes.

The same setbacks that Lister and Kavin suffered in their battles against the Star Machine Civilization will now be experienced by Varalos and Aiselyn.

Furthermore, compared to Varalos's strength, Aiselyn was unable to completely withstand him.

A verdant barrier lit up in front of him. He wanted to move, but the war machines restricted his movement and launched indiscriminate attacks.

Ultimately, it could only flicker vaguely in space, narrowly avoiding most of the rays, but was still eroded by them.

When the energy subsided, Aiselyn's aura had already entered a state of turmoil.

Lister's health was already less than one-third.

They have likely gradually entered a state of dominance.

Meanwhile, the legions led by the Hegemon of the Emerald Royal Court also joined the battle.

In fact, even Overlord Tier or lower-level legions have little impact on World-Ending Level operations.

However, if no one is there to deal with it, it will still divert the attention and energy of the World Annihilation Enhancement.

In operations of this scale, even the smallest impact will be magnified infinitely.

The crimson book in the hands of the Crimson Archbishop had now been completely unsealed.

This book is like a collection of cards; it can temporarily imitate one or two skills of all the powerful individuals whose blood cores it absorbs and records.

Among the leading Hegemon engaged in such a large-scale battle, their combat strength was extremely formidable.

They were locked in battle with several elders of the Emerald Royal Court.

Although Lister was keeping a close eye on Sailianna, his hand suddenly shifted the direction of his sword.

The moment the chilling killing intent was unleashed, the space around Aiselyn was locked.

With the advanced effects of Merrick Saber Technique, escape is virtually impossible unless one possesses exceptional spatial abilities.

A strike means a hit; even Sailianna couldn't escape, let alone Aiselyn.

A crimson blade of light rushed towards her, and Aiselyn was already somewhat dazed.

Fear rose in his eyes; he had already withstood a blade of light back in the ancient ruins.

But today's strike is several times more powerful than before.

She could not escape it at all, and a sense of despair welled up inside her, along with a premonition of impending death.

This was only the second time in the tens of thousands of years since she stepped into the World Annihilation that she had felt this sense of powerlessness and suffocation at the thought of death.

The last time it rose, it was naturally facing Lister.

"Hmph!"

A cold, soft snort escaped from Sailianna's nose.

The roots that were already spreading beneath their feet began to multiply and expand at a visible rate.

In the blink of an eye, the root appeared out of thin air beneath Aiselyn's feet.

Although she couldn't withstand Lister's blade strike, a massive surge of pure life energy flowed into Aiselyn's body just before the strike landed.

Attack: Deals a total of -35,031,193 points of true damage.

[Target: Aiselyn Evergreen]

[Health Points: 19,382,194/89,102,332 (Max health increased by 30 million, health is rapidly recovering)]

Aiselyn looked somewhat bewildered, and then a great pain struck her.

As expected, a healing ability at Sailianna's level is truly extraordinary.

The Life Elegy that had just been performed miraculously saved Aiselyn's life.

And its health points are constantly recovering and increasing.

At the same time, the massive network of roots beneath Sailianna's feet suddenly changed shape!

At the end of each main stem, a strange, ethereal flower blooms, yet it contains a terrifying life force.

These flowers are not beautiful, but rather possess an ancient, Twist, almost fossil-like texture, with emerald-colored runes flowing between the petal patterns.

The moment the flower bloomed, an indescribable suction force permeated the entire Babylon Star Domain!

Everything that dissipated from the battlefield—whether it was the matter and energy shattered by the disintegrating rays, or the trace amounts of life energy contained within the dead soldiers of both armies—became nourishment for these "elegy flowers"!

Meanwhile, Sailianna's own life force was still growing rapidly, and the nearly 30 million life points deficit was being quickly replenished by the life energy absorbed by her wildly growing roots.

It even raised her life limit a notch amidst the roar!

Lister's gaze was sharp as a knife, and even he felt a faint sense of powerlessness at this moment.

This old World Annihilation powerhouse is indeed troublesome, especially his healing abilities.

His opponent's high HP made him somewhat helpless; at least in the first stage, he had absolutely no way to deal with him.

It's possible that even a kill won't be as fast as the opponent recovering on their own.

Of course, he never thought he could kill Sailianna, who was almost at the top of the power level among the universe -World-Ending Level experts.

Lister's strength was almost entirely focused on attack, making him an expert in offensive techniques.

This Sailianna, on the other hand, excels more in survival and sustained combat, especially in survivability, where she far surpasses him.

Therefore, his initial targets were always the other world World Annihilation of the Emerald Royal Court.

If he can kill one or two people, his mission will be considered successful.

Sailianna's withered face revealed no emotion, except for a ripple of surprise that was forcibly suppressed deep within her star-like eyes.

As the war progressed, both sides gained a deeper understanding of each other's methods.

Sailianna made another move, but this time she did not attack Lister.

Knowing that his most powerful Wither would be of little use to Lister, he understood that it would hardly cause any harm.

Those fingers, imbued with the power of Wither, suddenly turned, and the Wither aura, refined to its extreme and even deeper, was now clearly aimed at Kavin Deer!

"Boom!"

The space around Kavin silently Twist and tore apart!

Countless dark gray roots, much thicker and more solid than before, burst forth from nothingness as if crossing a spatial barrier!

These roots are covered with mysterious runes, each one emanating a terrifying aura that drains life force and accelerates the decay of matter.

Ignoring Kavin's prized golden mechanical shield, it began to devour his life once more, like a leech clinging to his bone.

This time, Lister did not go to stop him; he understood perfectly well the meaning behind Kavin's gaze.

The target was immediately locked on— Aiselyn Yongcui.

Seeing that things were going badly, Varalos immediately had his enormous, lush green plant entwine around Lister and launch an attack.

Little did he know that this was exactly what Lister wanted.

Intentionally accepting attacks causes health to drop rapidly.

Instantly, a strong Fighting Spirit ignited within Lister.

The terrifying aura of bloodlust and killing intent began to rise again, and this power caused almost all life forms in this star field to tremble.

The murderous Phantom behind Lister solidified completely in an instant.

The Saber Soul had already fully manifested, and now he felt an unparalleled power and exhilaration throughout his body.

This caused Varalos, who had initially breathed a sigh of relief, to change his expression drastically.

"Not good!"

Then, with a roar, the massive rooted plant ceased its attack.

They began to frantically converge on Aiselyn.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

"Cut!"

A low shout rang out!

There were no unnecessary movements, just that one simple slash.

The light of the entire star field seemed to have been sucked away, leaving only a very thin, very fast, scarlet blade of light that seemed to slice open a corner of the universe itself.

With a will to sever all souls, it attacked Aiselyn.

All the plants along the way were like floating clouds, completely dissolved the moment they came into contact with the blade's edge.

"Daughter!"

The emerald energy around Varalos surged instantly.

As his most beloved bloodline, and also the hope of the next generation of the Emerald Royal Court.

Now, however, he could only watch helplessly as this unparalleled blade struck his daughter.

There was still a hint of disdain in his mind, as well as doubt about the strength of the Ruler One.

Now, under the blade that pierces the universe, there is no more doubt, only deep regret remains.

The blade swept past Aiselyn without any doubt, even though her health had already been mostly restored.

However, against Lister, who was in the state of activating his Saber Soul, the power of this strike had already increased several times over, making it impossible to stop.

At this moment, the roots beneath their feet surged once more, as if Sailianna were drawing upon her own strength to protect them.

Unfortunately, the current increase in health points is already insufficient.

The kill condition of Merrick Saber Technique has been applied.

"Attack: Deals a total of -65,173,324 points of true damage (maximum health). Execution condition has been applied."

"Health is being drained; health has been restored to 65%."

This time, even Aiselyn's sixth sense for death was difficult to trigger.

The person was instantly obliterated, and their aura vanished completely.

This completely enraged Varalos.

At this moment, it rushed towards Lister without regard for anything else, with countless energies surging around it, as if it wanted to fight him to the death.

His action pleased Lister.

He is currently at his peak, except for not having entered the third stage.

Furthermore, due to Aiselyn's extremely high health, her health instantly recovered to more than half under the Blood Drain effect.

It could be said that Varalos's approach only hastened his own demise.

Completely ignoring the opponent's attack, once the Killing Intent Wave locked onto him, he raised his hand and delivered another slash.

This caused Sailianna, who was focused on quickly eliminating Kavin, to stop what she was doing.

She appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly filled with deep regret.

Her long-standing arrogance led her to underestimate Lister, even after hearing of Lister power, including his ability to kill the Ruler One with a single strike.

Even Kavin of the Machine-Slaying Federation underestimated his opponent.

Her Wither caught Kavin completely off guard, leaving him utterly helpless.

This time, however, the opponent's golden shield seemed to have acquired a protective force.

Although most of it is still unstoppable, since Wither itself mostly affects the soul.

But the Ancient Machine Holy Grail that Kavin possessed saved his life.

At least in the short term, Wither alone is not enough to kill the opponent.

But it seems both Aiselyn and Varalos will die by Lister's blade.

They had no choice but to abandon their attack and quickly administer preemptive treatment to Varalos.

That's how he managed to survive the attack in front of his opponent.

The four World Annihilation were now facing each other in pairs, and for a moment none of them dared to make another move.

However, Lister turned his head slightly to the side.

In the far distance, two more auras of World Annihilation emanated.

Judging from the aura alone, it should be the World Annihilation of the Spirit Remains Star Abyss and the Eternal Night.

Sure enough, not long after.

A massive army of undead skeletons already stood behind Sailianna.

Meanwhile, the Legion of Eternal Night followed closely behind the undead skeletons, mostly riding on their backs.

The two forces are indeed very closely related.
