Boom!!!

An indescribable, terrifying aura seemed to pierce through the light screen and descend upon every world!

Within the vision, that former Dragon King had already vanished, replaced by an entirely new, terrifying presence shrouded in endless darkness. His very existence was distorting space and tearing apart the laws!

Phanes also seemed to find this sudden turn of events troublesome and launched an attack, but that newborn "Second Throne" vanished at the ends of the world, enveloped by the Abyss Power.

Immediately following, a declaration filled with an endless will of vengeance resounded in the depths of everyone's soul.

[I shall bestow the ultimate judgment upon the Usurper and all disobedient subjects under his rule!]

The target of vengeance was not just Phanes.

It was the entire Teyvat World that Phanes had created!

Dead silence.

An unprecedented dead silence.

Greater Khingan Mountains, Lake of Life.

Niu Tian and Tai Tan knelt dazedly in the lake water, the blood and tears on their faces long since dried, replaced by blankness and terror.

"For the sake of vengeance... he became a monster like that..." Niu Tian muttered to himself, his voice hoarse beyond recognition. "Is this... is this also the destiny of our Dragon Clan?"

The grief and indignation he had harbored all along, the injustice he had questioned, obtained an unacceptable answer at this moment.

The price of rebellion was to become a monster more terrifying than the enemy.

Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena embraced tightly, feeling the shudder within each other's bloodlines. That was not due to fear, but a mixture of sorrow, anger, and a hint of... an indescribable resonance.

If one day they were also driven to such a desperate situation, what choice would they make?

Shrek City, Sea God Pavilion.

Huo Yuhao's complexion was paler than before. The Soul Spirits in his Sea of Consciousness—Tian Meng, Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and the others—had completely curled up and were shivering at this moment. That "Abyss" aura made these Soul Spirits born from the elemental energy of heaven and earth feel a visceral disgust and terror far surpassing the divine might Phanes had brought before.

"One... has turned into the other..." Bei Bei's voice was dry. He completely failed to understand everything happening before his eyes.

"The victim has become the new perpetrator," He Caitou added with difficulty.

In their view, this was no longer a simple matter of strength or weakness. This was a cosmic-level war concerning the survival of the world! A Descender had overthrown the King of the Old World. And the King of the Old World had embraced an even more terrifying power, transformed into the second Descender, and returned for revenge.

Then what were worlds like them, caught in the middle, supposed to count as?

A battlefield?

God Realm.

"The Abyss..."

Ye Yinzhu, who had remained silent all along and was the former Qin Emperor, slowly spat out two words. His world had also once faced the invasion of the Abyss Plane, and he understood the terror of that power better than anyone.

"That power is purer and more... ancient than any abyssal creature I have ever seen." Ye Yinzhu's complexion was incomparably grave. "That is no longer a plane, but a fundamental law of the cosmos!"

"Laws?" The hearts of Ji Dong and Lie Yan sank.

God Kings could control laws, but what if the enemy himself was the incarnation of a fundamental law? How was one supposed to fight that?

Zhou Weiqing, Rong Nianbing, Chang Gongwei, Lei Xiang, A'Dai, Hai Long, Tian Hen... God King after God King had a complexion that looked ugly to the extreme.

They had originally thought Phanes was the sole enemy, and that they only needed to figure out a way to deal with him.

Yet now, the enemies had become two, and they were two whose philosophies were in complete opposition, locked in an irreconcilable struggle!

What was even more terrifying was that the "Second Throne" had transformed from the Dragon King. This fact made every God King related to the Dragon Clan feel a bone-chilling coldness.

Inside the God Realm Committee.

Tang San slowly relaxed his clenched fists. The turbulent aura around him instead calmed down, but those eyes of his grew as profound as the starry sky.

He looked at the dark figure gradually fading away on the light screen and spoke word by word, his voice not loud yet clearly spreading throughout the entire God Realm Committee.

"We must figure out what the 'Abyss' actually is."

The darkness of the light screen gradually faded, replaced by text burning with golden and black flames. Every single character seemed to contain power capable of destroying heaven and earth; merely gazing at it made countless living beings feel a stinging pain from the depths of their souls.

[This is a war between thrones! A war between Descenders!]

[This is a life-and-death struggle unfolded by two supreme existences capable of rivaling an entire world with their own strength, in order to decide the ultimate ownership of this world!]

These brief two sentences were like two heavy hammers, fiercely slamming into everyone's hearts.

Inside the God Realm Committee, Tang San, whose aura had just calmed down, saw his pupils suddenly contract.

Throne and throne? Descender and Descender?

He had originally thought Phanes was the sole invader and the Teyvat World was the resistance. Yet now it seemed the situation was far more complex than he had imagined, and far more... hopeless than he had imagined.

Shrek City, inside the Sea God Pavilion, was in dead silence.

"Both of them... are Descenders?" Tang Ya's voice carried a trace of trembling crying tone. She could not imagine what kind of tragic state it would be for a world to be targeted by two such terrifying existences simultaneously.

Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan leaned closely together, drawing a trace of insignificant solace from each other's body temperature. The worldview in their eyes was thoroughly subverted at this moment.

The text on the light screen continued to shift. This time, the image of that dragon shadow embracing endless darkness emerged: Nibelungen.

[Nibelungen, whose body is the embodiment of the Abyss Laws.]

[His attacks carry terrifying power from outside the world sufficient to devour, assimilate, and distort everything. They can tear apart Teyvat space laws, disrupt time laws, and pollute the elemental energy of the Light Realm.]

"Abyss... laws?" Ye Yinzhu's body swayed slightly in the God Realm, the color draining entirely from his face.

Zi, his wife beside him, supported him in time.

"Yinzhu?"

"It is not the Abyss Plane; it is the Abyss itself!" Ye Yinzhu's voice was extremely harsh. He recalled those death-defying abyssal creatures in his own world, recalled that endless black tide. Yet even those heaven-destroying and earth-shattering legions were like fireflies compared to the bright moon when matched against the "embodiment of laws" described on the light screen.

"Tearing space, disrupting time..." Ji Dong muttered to himself. He and Lie Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock within each other's hearts. As God Kings, they could wield laws, but Nibelungen directly tore apart laws—this was a strike of a higher dimension!

Greater Khingan Mountains, Lake of Life.

Upon seeing the four characters "Abyss Laws," the gaze of Niu Tian and Tai Tan, already blank, completely dissolved into emptiness.

"Laws... So the king of our Dragon Clan ultimately embraced the laws of another cosmos..." Niu Tian knelt in the lake water, his body trembling uncontrollably.

This was no longer betrayal, nor was it corruption.

This was a higher-level... leap in life form. It was casting oneself from a living being of this cosmos into the incarnation of another cosmos's laws for the sake of vengeance.

The arms with which Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena embraced each other tightened further, almost as if they were going to meld the other into their own flesh and blood.
