"You weren't devoured by the backlash!"
"You actually dared to toy with me!"
Within the surging dense fog of negative energy, the face of Star Creation—or rather, the middle-aged man it had once possessed—emerged, filled with fury.
"Heh, I toyed with you. So what?"
Calyrex cast it a disdainful glance.
Who said Calyrex had to rely on the power of faith to survive?
So what if it had forgotten its roots?
It had to thank that Void Shadow Dark Matter had sent to Blue Star in advance. Otherwise, it would never have resolved to completely sever its connection to the power of faith after being driven into a desperate situation.
Even after abandoning the path of relying on faith, Calyrex still retained its skill in wielding that power.
After Su Hao left, Calyrex ruled Ice King City for many years. Together with the accumulation it gained while personally leading the war to defend the world, it had amassed an enormous quantity of faith power.
Calyrex had not absorbed that faith power. Instead, it treated it as a consumable resource, using it to resist Star Creation's erosion of the World Tree.
It used what was essentially waste to it to hold Star Creation back for tens of thousands of years.
Calling that a huge profit no longer did it justice.
There was only one way to put it—
It had made an absolute killing.
Surrounded by Star Creation's violently churning negative energy, Calyrex copied how Su Hao had treated Void Shadow. Completely ignoring its kingly bearing, it raised a middle finger at Star Creation.
"This round, I won."
As its words fell, the space around Calyrex rippled.
—It used the last of its psychic power to distort space, crossing the distance and appearing beside Su Hao.
