The Spirit Remains Star Abyss and the Eternal Night Royal Court are in the middle ranks among the forces that World Annihilation.

Each faction has three World Annihilation powerhouses within its ranks.

Currently, apart from the two main factions, the Spirit Remains Lord and the Eternal Night King remain outside their own territories.

The other two World Annihilation destroyers also joined the battle.

The two reinforcements that have arrived are the Silent Night King and the Lord of Curses and Grudges.

The two men arrived with unusually grave expressions, their eyes scanning the battlefield.

Lister's near-peak state, Saber Soul Possession, terrified them.

Especially that slash that had just struck Varalos; even though they were far apart, they could still feel the stunning beauty and terrifying power of that strike.

At this moment, he had no choice but to approach Sailianna and the other person, and at the same time ask them a question.

Where is Aiselyn?

The Silent Night King sensed the scene of the battle and his expression showed some surprise.

After all, the intelligence he received indicated that the Emerald Royal Court had mobilized its entire force.

As the World Annihilation, Aiselyn's aura was almost impossible to conceal, but he was completely unaware of it at the moment.

However, his question did not elicit the answer he desired.

In the silent scene, only Varalos's bloodshot, jealous eyes stared silently at Lister.

The Lord of Curses and Grudges shook his head to the side.

An unacceptable conjecture surged into the mind of the Silent Night King.

Could it be... could it be on this battlefield Sailianna herself is present?

Could Lister possibly kill Aiselyn?

They can have this much skill even in a 3v2 situation...

Is Lister's strength comparable to, or even surpasses, that of Sailianna?

How is that possible!?

This unbelievable speculation was quickly suppressed.

The Silent Night King's expression grew increasingly solemn.

"Lady Sailianna, don't worry about me!"

"With these two reinforcements, we are determined to kill this Lister today!"

Varalos was completely blinded by the death of his daughter.

Even though Lister's knife had almost killed him, he was not deterred by the threat of death thanks to Sailianna's timely intervention.

At this moment, he was even more determined to kill Lister, even if it meant his own demise!

Upon hearing Sailianna did not immediately offer her support.

She was certainly heartbroken by Aiselyn's death, but her emotions were not as intense as Varalos'.

Today, the focus is more on the struggle for the "Seed of Eternity."

Before he could think it through, another terrifying aura descended from not far away.

The Power of the End pierced the starry sky, its overwhelming aura blatantly joining the battle.

It wasn't until the figure stopped beside Lister that the group realized who had arrived.

Zoya Lang, a veteran powerhouse of the Church of the End.

Unlike Ocas and Isaac and Emily's madness and frenzy.

Zoya gives off a very similar vibe to Xavier, namely calmness and rationality.

The Power of the End emanating from his body was surprisingly obedient under his control.

His control over murderous intent was not much weaker Lister's.

He didn't say much at this moment, but simply looked at Lister and nodded silently, which was a tacit expression of his intention to send reinforcements.

The situation quieted down on both sides as Zoya arrived.

Sailianna, in particular, kept her eyes fixed on Lister, her face still showing the weighing of pros and cons.

Meanwhile, the newly joined forces of the Lord of Curses and Grudges and the Silent Night King were secretly regretting their decision.

They came to reinforce the Crimson Covenant, which they had originally intended to reach.

However, at Crimson Covenant Pact, it was purely about avoiding war.

He ignored even Aiwei, focusing entirely on defense.

In this core area of power, renowned for its contracts, various restrictive forces overlap and completely limit each other.

Unless Crimson Covenant is willing to reveal itself, Aiwei will have a hard time even encountering some of Crimson's world -World Annihilation in the short term.

Because they don't know the details of the Crimson Covenant, they fear that World Annihilation and others may already be stationed at the defenses of the Machine-Slaying Federation.

After weighing the options, they persuaded the two who had arrived to come to the Machine-Slaying Federation and not to waste time in front of this restriction.

Who knew... I'd encounter such a huge scene right away.

Even in a 3v2 Emerald Royal Court could still lose one player, but now, although it's 4v3, they seem to have the advantage in numbers.

However, after clearly recognizing the top combat strength of both sides, especially Lister and Zoya, the actual advantages and disadvantages on the battlefield are really difficult to measure.

"Forget it! Let's go!"

Sailianna made the decision she was facing with great difficulty.

She wasn't worried about her fight with Zoya, but given the current situation, it was hard to say which side would suffer more if the fight continued.

Furthermore, the Seed of Eternity has not yet been born. This time, they truly understand Lister's strength and plan to come back when they are better prepared next time.

"This won't do! Aiselyn can't just die like this!"

"Lady Sailianna... if we retreat now, the losses will be too great!"

Varalos was determined not to leave at this moment.

The loss of his daughter is something he is currently struggling to cope with.

Anger burned within him, and the so-called "Seed of Eternity" was long forgotten.

In that moment of hesitation, a powerful killing intent rose once more.

Varalos felt himself instantly locked onto by this murderous intent.

The chilling, crimson killing intent sent shivers down his spine, and his anger subsided somewhat.

But before him, Lister's blade was already poised to strike.

"What... are you fantasizing about?"

The cold words came from Lister's mouth, his calm eyes seemingly filled with contempt for everyone.

"Now that things have come to this... it's not like you can just leave whenever you want!"

"Leave them all here."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the blade in his hand slashed down again.

Sailianna's expression hardened, and the roots beneath her feet began to spread and grow endlessly.

Her aura suddenly surged, and countless emerald energies gathered around her.

Then this energy flowed through his veins and poured into Varalos.

"Attack: Deals a total of -87,731,023 true damage (27,731,023 damage has been transferred)."

Having truly grasped Lister's attack characteristics, Sailianna no longer needed barriers like her root veins to block them.

His aura seemed to have entered the second stage, linking to Varalos's life points.

[Target: Sailianna - Shadow of the Root Network (Partially Linked)]

[Health Points: 176620012/229923138 (Max Health is increasing)]

Fighting a healing-type character is indeed troublesome; their exaggerated health points are terrifying even to Lister.

With his current level of health, he wouldn't dare to easily go toe-to-toe with Sailianna and risk his life for her.

Fortunately, his target this time wasn't Varalos.

With a swift movement, Flash behind the Lord of Curses and Grudges.

At the same time, Zoya also made a move.

With a casual gesture, boundless Power of the End gathered before him.

This is different from the scene that Lister had witnessed where Ocas mobilized the Power of the End.

The Power of the End raging, frenzied, and seemingly endless annihilation.

Before Zoya, the Power of the End was unusually obedient.

"Order·Return to Ruins."

At this moment, as she slowly uttered these words, the Power of the End flowed silently and rapidly toward Sailianna, especially toward the roots near her feet.

These peripheral roots were instantly annihilated and contracted upon contact with this Power of the End.

Only the roots closest to Sailianna seemed completely unaffected by the Power of the End, resisting it as it did so. At the same time, the power of Wither surged forth again, heading towards Zoya.

The battle has now fully commenced.

Kavin's war machines were once again deployed into battle, and at the same time, Kavin's own mechanical abilities were fully unleashed.

The mechanical torrent surged toward Varalos seemingly without end.

At this moment, as Lister approached, the Lord of Curses and Grudges felt a strong stinging sensation deep within his soul.

A sense of fear rose within me, along with an intuition I couldn't rely on.

However, these senses were quickly suppressed.

Even having witnessed Lister's current strength, he knew he was no match for him.

However, he didn't think he lacked the ability to even engage in a simple exchange with Lister or restrain him.

The staff in his hand tightened suddenly, and the space in front of him began to Twist.

Countless wronged souls wailed inexplicably, and at the same time, a complex and intricate network of spells appeared before Lister.

Resentment, malice, and curses continuously coalesce within this network of spells.

Seeing that Lister was quite overconfident at this moment, he did not make a move directly.

The Lord of Curses and Grudges was naturally unambiguous; as he waved his staff, a hint of smugness was undisguised on his face.

"Hehe~! Now... you don't need to think about hiding anymore!"

A massive network of magical spells slowly approached Lister.

Only through true perception can one realize that this network of spells does not exist in this void, but rather Twist and invisible, directly affecting the depths of Lister's soul.

Countless negative emotions, malicious erosion, and logical disorder entered the depths of his soul in an instant.

Unfortunately, these immense negative Curses and Grudges were instantly dissipated by the killing intent the moment they came into contact with the Saber Soul.

"Attacked: You have been attacked by the cursed rules of 'Curses and Grudges Heavenly Net'. Merrick Saber Technique, Robust Soul, Saber Soul Mastery... have taken effect."

In the comparison of soul strength: Due to the vast difference in soul strength between the two sides, the opponent is now 100% immune to the curse's power.

Lister remained quietly in place, feeling the curses dissipate and vanish within his body.

As expected, everything went exactly as he predicted.

Ever since his first battle against a powerful necromancer, he discovered that the strength of his soul was a devastating advantage against Class Holder.

True class counters, especially in sorcery-based attacks, often come down to comparing the strength of the two players' souls.

But on a spiritual level, Lister is truly unique in the current universe.

Naturally, when faced with such a cursed attack, its defensive power increases exponentially, becoming astonishingly exaggerated.

Just like now, even Lister himself didn't expect that he could be 100% immune to the damage from a world- World Annihilation sorcerer.

However, in the eyes of the Lord of Curses and Grudges, his contemplation seemed to be as if he were truly being controlled by his own Curses and Grudges power, causing his logic and emotions to become disordered.

The giant, sword-wielding Spirit Remains behind him also slashed at Lister as he manipulated it.

Unfortunately, his response was a perfectly executed strike from Lister.

The crimson blade light swept past the massive Spirit Remains in an instant, extinguishing the soul fire in its eyes.

Immediately, the blade's edge slashed towards the Lord of Curses and Grudges.

With a single slash, the Lord of Curses and Grudges's entire body exploded in an instant.

An endless, boiling, wailing black mist of resentment, as if released, burst forth from its body in an instant.

The Lord of Curses and Grudges himself suddenly vanished without a trace.

It silently disintegrated amidst the flash of blades, scattering into pure, meaningless stardust.

"Attack: Deals a total of -83,882,192 true damage (maximum health)."

The Silent Night King, who was standing to the side, originally wanted to step forward to help, but who knew that the Lord of Curses and Grudges, whose strength was almost equal to his own, was actually... killed with just one strike.

The news of the slaying of the Ruler One flashed through his mind instantly.

All the World Annihilation powerhouses actually knew about this news, but each of them clung to a sliver of hope and refused to believe it.

At most, one might acknowledge some of Lister's strength, but the main reason is that the Ruler One is too weak.

Among the major World Annihilation forces, the Star Machine Civilization was the weakest, so it's understandable that it would create such an impression.

Many things can only be believed after seeing them with your own eyes and experiencing them firsthand.

Even Xavier and Sailianna possess a deterrent force accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years.

Unfortunately, the Lord of Curses and Grudges, lacking this sense of awe, has now paid the price and perished.

Now that Lister's gaze had met his, Eternal Night dared not delay for even a moment longer.

His figure flew swiftly into the distance. As for the current allied operations, he wasn't there to reinforce the Machine-Slaying Federation; from the beginning, he had only heard about going to the Crimson Covenant.

"Damn piece of trash!"

"They... they just... ran away like that?"

When Varalos saw the Silent Night King leave, he cursed in disbelief.

But when he thought about how Lister had once again slain the Lord of Curses and Grudges with a single blow, he... began to accept reality.

Looking at Sailianna now, he finally had the intention to retreat.

It's just that he himself finds it difficult to leave.

Fortunately, Sailianna had enough tricks up her sleeve, and her root meridians quickly erupted in a short period of time.

The immense life energy seemed to have created some kind of invisible connection between these roots.

Zoya seemed very familiar with Sailianna's actions.

At this moment Power of the End suddenly accelerated and converged, focusing on Sailianna's side.

Unfortunately, we were still a step too late.

A ring of veins had enveloped Sailianna's body, as had Varalos's.

The moment it was enveloped, a spatial fluctuation vanished in an instant.

The two of them vanished from this star field in an instant.

Now, only the allied forces of these three factions and nearly twenty Hegemon remain, their fighting spirit gone, staring at Lister with utter terror.

As if by unspoken agreement, after a brief moment of stunned silence, the Hegemon immediately scattered and fled.

However, a scarlet blade of light came chasing after them from behind.

It swept across the space in front of it without discrimination.

Apart from one or two lucky ones, most of the remaining Hegemon were cut down by Lister's single strike.

However, the few lucky ones were ultimately locked onto by Kavin's war machines and died.

"What a pity! They got away."

Zoya had completely concealed her aura at this moment, and her communication with him was extremely calm.

"It's enough that these two World Annihilation died here!"

In fact, Lister never imagined that he could kill a world -World Annihilation of the level of the Silent Night King with a single strike.

Aiselyn was inherently weak, and the gap between her and the new generation of World Annihilation was too great.

The Lord of Curses and Grudges is merely a suppression of his soul and cannot be compared to ordinary World Annihilation.

Against someone like the Silent Night King, Lister felt he needed to seize two opportunities.

Fortunately, no matter what, he has achieved most of his strategic goals this time.
