Eternal Damnation

Dongli Cang felt an unprecedented surge of power within his body. Liquid lightning coiled and flowed between his fingers, like a docile pet, yet containing Berserk capable of tearing mountains and rivers apart. He roared to the sky.

"Haha--! It wasn't easy! I finally solved it!"

Even having just unlocked the Legacy Core, Dongli Cang was confident he could defeat a hundred of his previous selves.

Now, he's no longer the incompetent Xiao Cang he used to be!

He is Dongli Cang, the Thunder Lord destined to rule this world!

"Huh? What's this?"

After laughing for a while, Dongli Cang picked up a cell phone from the ground, which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, with a puzzled look.

The screen unlocked automatically the moment he touched it, and a pre-recorded audio clip began to play, its sound perfectly calm and undisturbed.

"Director Dongli, let's meet in the Imperial Capital."

"By the way, Her Highness the Eldest Princess is not only incredibly capable, but also beautiful."

Dongli Cang paused for a moment, then processed what he had just said.

"Holy crap! Monk, you're dead!"

Dongli Cang erupted with boundless lightning, transforming into a bolt of lightning that tore through the heavens and earth. With extreme speed and boundless, incinerating fury, he hurtled madly towards the Imperial Capital.

Outside the Imperial Capital, the Mutated Beast tide was dense and solidified like a black tide. Hundreds of millions of Mutated Beasts did not make a sound.

When Dongli Cang arrived and saw this scene, he was somewhat horrified.

But there's no need to worry; the Mutated Beasts are at his command, and there will be no surprises.

Di Yubing stood atop the city wall, sword in hand, eyes open, looking at him.

Beside them stood a masked man dressed in a long robe and wearing a strange cloak.

It was that otherworldly mage.

But for some reason, Dongli Cang felt a faint sense of unease.

But no amount of planning will matter anymore; overwhelming strength can crush everything.

With confidence, he unleashed a thunderous attack.

The "mage" simultaneously made a move, extending a pale hand and gently clenching it.

The previously stagnant Beast Tide nearby came alive like a Resurrection statue, and the waves surged toward Dongli Cang.

Reversing the Heavenly Gang!

Dongli Cang was surprised and frantically ordered the control of the Beast Tide.

However, the surrounding Mutated Beasts only paused for a moment before continuing to surge forward.

"Interesting, very interesting."

Dongli Cang Cangqi laughed. It seemed that this mage was truly skilled, able to bypass his control over the Aberration Energy and directly manipulate the Mutated Beasts.

"What's the use? No matter how much of this trash comes, it poses no threat to me!"

Dongli Cang directly raised his hand and gestured towards the sky.

In an instant, the weather changed dramatically.

The sky within a radius of several miles darkened at a visible speed, and thick dark clouds gathered like raging waves. Within the clouds, billions of lightning bolts darted wildly, emitting deafening roars.

The oppressive celestial phenomena were suffocating, and the entire ruins of the Imperial Capital trembled under the power of heaven and earth.

Forging the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth into one person—this is the first step in the inheritance of lightning.

With a casual wave of his hand, a terrifying lightning pillar with a diameter of over ten meters swept out, instantly vaporizing everything in its path, leaving not even ashes behind, whether it was a powerful SS Rank Mutated Beast or a fragile low-level individual.

A huge Vacuum zone was cleared out from the Beast Tide.

Heaven and earth seemed to be lamenting, dark clouds covered the sky, and lightning struck the city.

One person's strength, acting as the embodiment of the heavens!

But at that moment...

The earth in the heart of the Imperial Capital emitted a cracking sound far more muffled and terrifying than thunder.

It was as if some ancient behemoth was awakening. Then, a gigantic hand, so large that it exceeded the limits of human imagination, shattered the solid earth and soared into the sky.

This hand is an eerie grayish-white color, with six fingers and sharp nails like mountains.

Its size was completely illogical; its arms extended from the depths of the earth, reaching hundreds of meters in length, blotting out the sky and exuding an aura of blasphemy and madness, as it reached directly for Dongli Cang high in the sky!

"What the hell is Dong..." Dongli Cang's wild words came to an abrupt halt.

Before the words were even finished, the sickening sounds of bones cracking and flesh being torn apart rang out simultaneously. Dongli Cang's protective Thunder Armor shattered like paper, and his proudly resilient body was easily crushed like a toy in the face of this absolute power.

"No--!"

In the midst of Chaos, Dongli Cang was unable to react.

Didn't he limit the strength cap of the Asian Continent Mutated Beasts to SS Rank?

What is this?

One hand can reach hundreds of meters!

"System, immediately! Reclaim all Aberration Energy! Right now!"

It was as if the whole world had been muted, and then a certain underlying tone had been suddenly stripped away.

The six-fingered giant hand that had seized Dongli Cang and contained destructive power collapsed and disintegrated like a punctured balloon, turning into lifeless pieces of flesh and blood that fell from the sky.

The surging Beast Tide below stopped moving at the same time. The red light in their eyes went out, and their massive bodies, like puppets with their strings cut, collapsed to the ground, turning into heaps of lifeless flesh.

Dongli Cang plummeted from the sky like a rag doll, crashing heavily onto the pile of beast carcasses. His bones were shattered and his internal organs were torn apart. Lightning continuously repaired his broken body.

He quickly recovered, looked up, saw Di Yubing walking towards him, and smiled.

"Is this your plan? You used some unknown means to create this thing, forcing me to retract the Mutation? To save the world?"

You did it.

Looking at the two people who were so much weaker than him, Dongli Cang slowly stood up, raised his hands as if to embrace them, his expression one of fervor.

"But!"

"Listen! It was me! Dongli Cang! Who brought destruction! And it was I, Dongli Cang! Who withdrew destruction in a single thought!"

"I am the destroyer of this world, and also its savior!"

"Now, beg me, beg me to stop releasing other world-destroying factors!"

He had already anticipated their reactions: anger, despair, or defiance. He was prepared to savor it all, prepared to crush their dignity step by step.

"Hehe, since that's the case..."

"Holy crap!"

The flesh and blood that had been dead all over the ground suddenly seemed to come alive, and began to flow and converge wildly.

The "mage" figure on the city wall became blurry, and the next moment, it transformed into a stream of light and plunged into the converging torrent of blood and flesh.

Countless flesh, bones, and internal organs, as if drawn by an invisible force, frantically reorganized and expanded around the "mage."

In the blink of an eye, an indescribable, terrifying behemoth, hundreds of meters tall, composed of countless severed limbs, claws, and twisted organs, rose from the ground.

This behemoth had no fixed form; its body was covered with thousands upon thousands of malevolent eyes that constantly opened, closed, and rotated, all Lock-On onto Dongli Cang, who was as small as an ant on the ground. An aura even more despairing than the six-fingered giant hand from before enveloped the heavens and earth.

Just then, the system's familiar yet icy voice rang in his mind, uttering only two simple words:

Farewell

In the next instant, Dongli Cang's consciousness was swallowed by boundless darkness.

He didn't even see how the attack came about; he only felt his existence being completely torn apart and Annihilation by an incomprehensible force.

He died silently, like a stray dog, on this field of corpses he himself had created, leaving not a trace.

"?"

In the distant reaches of space, Su Luo witnessed a breathtaking scene through the observation port of the Floating Laboratory:

The planet-sized, Mutation giant tree, whose roots extended deep into the planet's core, its canopy, and even reached near-Earth orbit, suddenly broke apart, shattered, and collapsed without warning.

There are other magnificent things...

The enormous fragments drifted silently in the Vacuum, slowly turning into dust.

"Looks like they're really going at it."

Returning our gaze to the experimental platform, all the samples and experimental subjects that carried the Aberration Energy had lost their activity.

Besides the strange flesh and blood tissue sample that Su Luo developed in collaboration with the World Will.

It slumped slightly for a moment, then its strange self- Cycle once again generated Aberration Energy, which became self-sustaining, and it regained its former glory.

Su Luo roughly guessed what had just happened.

As expected, Dongli Cang is going to suffer a lot.

The Laboratory accelerated again, and after flying a certain distance, Su Luo deactivated the constant speed.

About a day later, the Dungeon will end with only half a day remaining.

The small, quiet sample on the lab table suddenly began to writhe violently without warning, quickly shaping itself into a tiny doll-like form.

The little figure had just taken shape and stood up when Su Luo, reacting quickly, grabbed it with a gust of wind and threw the container and part of the experimental platform into the endless Void. She then cast two Fireball Formation and propelled the Floating Laboratory to accelerate in the opposite direction.

"It is I, the World Will. We need to discuss cooperation again." A slightly urgent thought resounded directly in his mind.

It's you again, you filthy thing.

No need for further explanation, let's do the problems.

After three consecutive rapid assessments with scores consistently above the safe threshold, Su Luo finally felt slightly relieved. She then began to use her powerful Divine Power, like the most precise scanning instrument, to examine every corner of her physical body and even her mental world again and again.

During this time, the thought incessantly transmitted messages:

You big jerk!

"You're untrustworthy! The goods you delivered were defective! You're incredibly shady!"

"But I forgive you."

"Dongli Cang's system completely Suppression me when it first appeared... Later, for some reason, the restrictions were relaxed..."

"My possession of Di Yubing is the world's self-preservation instinct, not an intentional attempt to influence you..."

"I switched places with Di Yubing; I will take control of the body to deal with the crisis, while she will temporarily maintain balance on behalf of fate..."

"Using the body you created, we set a trap to eliminate Dongli Cang..."

"But she... unexpectedly merged too deeply with the rules of Heavenly Dao, and I can no longer return..."

"So I want to go with you. As a token of my sincerity, I brought X-Rank Ability orb."

"Though I have lost the power bestowed by Heavenly Mandate, I can serve as your super computing core, microscopic lens, combat aid, and extraordinary deduction..."

"Brother! Brother! I'll be your Vassal!"

"Speak up to me!"

Su Luo remained silent.

The sound disappeared only when the distance between the Laboratory and the little figure increased.

Dirty things are dirty things.

If you're dirty once, you'll be dirty forever.

Good things don't just emerge from samples.

A small piece of flesh and blood Storage nine wills.

To conserve energy, they unanimously agreed to shrink the vessel back into an inconspicuous ball of flesh.

A dispute is erupting between several opposing forces.

"God, you're truly a piece of trash. You're begging to be someone's dog, and nobody wants you."

"Why aren't you going? You cowardly fellow, scared off by even a wisp of breath."

"Who knows if the system would choose her after the 'Creator' dies?! That madman unleashed a whole bunch of things even more terrifying than us, and now your body is damaged, what's the point of us fighting?"

"That's incredibly bold. No wonder she was able to connect with that X-Rank Ability orb."

"Hmph, in the end, it still became the system's puppet."

"The question now is, where should we go?"

"Use the remaining energy to change direction and accelerate; we'll head to a nearby Fixed Star system. We can't stay here any longer."

"It will take at least three thousand years of sailing..."

"It's okay, there are toys."

A terrifying will is brutally beating and thrusting into a remnant will.

"Ahhh--!"

The agonizing, twisted wails of the soul became the background noise of this conversation. A lingering consciousness was being tormented in turn by other terrifying wills filled with wicked pleasure, enduring endless pain.

It was their Creator — Dongli Cang.

"Let's all come together, brothers, let's have some fun!"

The World Will watched the seven terrifying wills wielding swords towards Dongli Cang without wavering, having no intention of colluding with them.

Suddenly, something "grabbed" Him.

"What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? You coerced someone into saving the world, went too far and got the backlash, even your physical body is damaged, and you couldn't even seize the chance to trick the otherworldly mage. And now you're being used as a toy!"

"You... ugh!"

In the cold expanse of space, a tiny ball of flesh, bearing the weight of nine crushing and tormented wills, begins a long and despairing journey towards the distant starlight...
