How Kong Went from Salvation to the Harbinger of Reckoning: All Because of Ilmin's Arrogance, Tang San Witnesses the Prophecy!

Within the Light Screen, the story continues.

Vinster King Ilmin completely ignored the Witch Nicole's sad and anxious eyes.

He extensively promoted the latter part of the prophecy.

[Divine soldiers descend from the heavens, aiding me Kandria, in my rebellion against the Gods!]

The entire country was swept up in a frenzy over it.

They forged weapons, studied Forbidden Knowledge, and placed all their hopes on that yet-to-arrive "star."

The warnings about "destruction" and the premise of "abandoning arrogance" were deliberately erased by the king and completely forgotten by the fanatical masses.

In the scene, the Witch Nicole stands alone atop the High Tower, gazing down at the revelers below, her figure as forlorn as snow.

She has done her best.

But no one believed it.

Everyone was immersed in the fantasy of "defying fate".

Ning Rongrong shook her head as she watched.

"This is terrifying! Is there not a single person in this entire country who is truly awake?"

Ning Tian, the new sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, stood beside her with a solemn expression.

"When a king gambles the future of the entire nation to incite a frenzy, individual clarity becomes insignificant."

"Even the act of being awake is a sin."

Tai Tan and Niu Tian, two behemoths, exchanged a glance, both seeing the gravity in each other's eyes.

They witnessed Tang San's rise to power and also the destruction of the Spirit Hall.

They were well aware of the terrible chain reaction that could result from a decision-maker's mistake.

Wasn't Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall also blinded by hatred and ambition, ultimately leading a vast empire to its destruction?

This Vinster King, Ilmin, is even more pure and even more insane Bibi Dong!

He is fighting against God!

The image on the Light Screen began to flicker rapidly.

It is a collection of countless chaotic and fragmented pieces.

A golden meteor truly fell.

Those were two dazzling figures, a pair of twins.

[Empty and Bright.]

However, what Kandria received was not the "divine weapon" they had imagined.

Following closely behind was the fury from Sky Island.

The Maintainer of Heavenly Principles has arrived.

Red squares blotted out the sky, and a merciless judgment descended.

The "prophecy of destruction" that Ilmin once scoffed at has now become a reality.

The earth is wailing.

The magnificent kingdom crumbled under Divine Punishment.

The people, driven by despair, were twisted into monsters.

Vinster King Ilmin stood before the throne, gazing at the apocalyptic scene he had created. His face showed no remorse, only endless madness and resentment.

"Why..."

"Weapons... why don't they obey my commands!"

Until the very last moment, he still regarded the two Outworlder as his "weapons."

His arrogance remained unchanged until his death.

The entire Douluo World fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was so shocked by this tragic and absurd ending that they were speechless.

A glorious civilization, a powerful kingdom.

All because of the king's misinterpretation of a prophecy, all because of his deep-seated arrogance.

Utterly annihilated.

Along with all his people, they were condemned to eternal damnation, transformed into immortal monsters.

What a heavy price to pay!

Hai Long, Tian Hen, and other powerful figures felt a chill run down their spines and straight to the top of their heads.

They asked themselves, if they were in Ilmin's position, what choice would they make upon hearing such a prophecy?

Is it to choose to believe in that slim chance of "redemption" and abandon the dignity of being the strong?

Or should we seize that seemingly powerful "weapon" and fight back?

This is a soul-searching question.

Just then...

On the Light Screen, all the images disappeared.

It plunged into complete darkness.

Just when everyone thought the review was over.

A line of blood-red text appeared out of nowhere in the center of the screen; its color was like the sky at the end of Kandria.

[The other half of the prophecy: When the stars from outer space return, the sins and punishments of the Old Days will be settled.]

What?!

The prophecy... has another half?!

Tang San's pupils contracted to their maximum size in that instant.

The sins and punishments of the Old Days...

All settled at once!

This refers to whose crime and whose punishment?

Is it from Kandria? Or... the gods who brought down Divine Punishment?

That "star," that boy named "Kong," wasn't he supposed to be a redemption? How did he become the catalyst for reckoning?

Countless questions flooded everyone's minds like a tidal wave.

The Light Screen did not provide an answer.

The camera slowly zoomed in, fixing its view on Tang San's blue eyes, which were filled with shock and horror.

The blood-red characters were clearly reflected in his pupils.

This single line of text caused the hearts of countless powerful beings in the entire God Realm Central and on Douluo Star to stop abruptly.

Abyss Power on a global scale?

What does this mean?

Tang San's gaze was more solemn than ever before. He had seen the Divine Realm swept away by the spatial turbulence, and he had witnessed the vastness and terror of the universe, but the power of "world-scale" still exceeded the boundaries of his imagination.

That means a power powerful enough to completely erase, or even pollute, an entire world from its very roots.

"This..." Huo Yuhao gasped. He activated his Spiritual Eye to the fullest extent, but could only sense a suffocating darkness in the words. It was as if if he looked at them any longer, his Sea of Consciousness would be eroded by that despair.

Gu Yuena's long silver hair moved without wind, and she sensed a kind of lament from someone who was also at the core of the world. That being called "Ilmin" clearly held a similar position to her when she was once at the Dragon God Core.

And now, it is heading towards its death.

The screen finally lit up.

Without any gradual build-up, what comes into view is the end of the world.

The sky was torn open with countless dark slits, from which purplish-black energy flowed down like viscous blood, corroding the earth. The once glorious underground kingdom of Kandria was now nothing but ruins. Exquisite alchemical creations were twisted into hideous monsters under the Abyss's corrosive influence, emitting unconscious roars.

At the heart of all the destruction, a blond boy floated silently.

He is "emptiness".

However, at this moment, he could no longer be called a human being.

His body resembled a piece of glass about to shatter, covered in countless golden cracks. From those cracks, what seeped out was not blood, but a pure, nauseating darkness.

That darkness is alive.

It writhes and roars, and with each burst of energy, it causes the Laws of the entire world to groan in despair.

"He's... as a vessel?" Tang Wulin exclaimed, clenching his fist so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palm.

He understands this feeling all too well.

Back then, he was the vessel for the essence of the Golden Dragon King, constantly enduring the impact of that insane will. But compared to the young man before him, what he endured was utterly insignificant.
