For a moment, dead silence fell.
Even the Workshop Master found it hard to believe.
Perhaps he was astonished by Huai Shi's arrogance.
Such shameless boasting...
A mere third ranker actually dared to dream of standing shoulder to shoulder with a ruler.
Yet for some reason, when Huai Shi spoke those words, the Workshop Master involuntarily felt a chill, as though that damned bitch were standing right before him.
But Huai Shi was different from that cursed woman.
She had always been expressionless, even amid slaughter and destruction...
But Huai Shi was different. Even when facing enemies ten or a hundred times his number, even as countless deaths unfolded before his eyes, he still wore that unsettling smile.
His empty fingers slowly curled.
Without warning, a long blade emerged from his hand. As he moved, dazzling radiance gathered there, and the Sword of Virtue burst forth in light.
It tore through Hell's eternal night.
Infused with the Divinity Transformation blessed by the King of Light, it erupted with brilliance and Brilliant Light dozens of times greater than before. Light as though weightless, it rose into the sky, slicing through the eternal clouds and mist.
The blinding radiance stabbed into every pair of eyes.
Before the Workshop Master could react, Huai Shi took a step forward and brought his sword down!
The factory roared.
Inside the control room, the Workshop Master bellowed and yanked down a lever, causing that blurry maw to spew out countless pale bubbles. The viscous foam flew through the air like rapidly growing barricades, absorbing all Source Matter, calamity, and even Hell Sediment as it expanded at terrifying speed.
But when that majestic Brilliant Light flashed and vanished, not only the others, but even the Workshop Master froze in place.
As though it had been an illusion.
