Sikeke and Skovnug: The Tragic Falling-Out of Best Friends! This Duel Is Too Cruel!

[... Later, she encounters the Traveler Ying, and together they defeat Skovnug, the Extremely Evil Knight, gradually opening her heart to him.]

"My dearest friend!"

"Defeat... your best friend?"

"Are you kidding me!?"

The crowd erupted in chaos.

If the previous "One Hundred Years of Solitude" evoked sympathy and awe, then the phrase "defeating a close friend" was like a poisoned blade, precisely piercing the soft spot of many present.

Ji Dong's body stiffened.

The air around him seemed to become scorching and chaotic, and the Lie Yan phantom beside him gently grasped his hand, conveying a silent comfort.

To be an enemy of your lover, even to kill yourself...

He understood that kind of pain better than anyone else.

Tang Wulin's breathing suddenly became heavy. He turned his head sharply to look at Gu Yuena. Their eyes met, both filled with endless pain and struggle.

For the future of the Dragon Clan, for the survival of humanity, they once stood on opposite sides and fought each other. That heart-wrenching feeling remains an unhealed scar in their hearts to this day.

Now, the girl on the Light Screen has experienced the same, or even more cruel, fate.

Skovnug... judging from the name, she has a close relationship with him.

"Why... why fight against your own friends...?"

Bei Bei's voice trembled slightly; he couldn't imagine himself drawing his sword against Tang Ya.

"The Extremely Evil Knight ...sounds like an organization," Hai Long calmly analyzed. "Perhaps it's a matter of differing stances and conflicting morals."

Tian Hen said in the interface, "But the word 'closest friend' carries too much weight."

Yes, my dear friend.

That is an existence to which one can entrust one's life and share everything.

What reason could drive someone to turn against their closest friend?

Ye Yinzhu and Zi, who was beside him, exchanged a glance and both saw the heaviness in each other's eyes. They had also faced countless difficult choices in order to protect their respective races.

"Gradually opening my heart..."

Ning Tian softly recited the last half of the sentence, his tone carrying a hint of bittersweet consolation.

"To defeat my best friend and finally open my heart... the price is far too heavy."

What a contradictory kind of growth.

A heart that has been closed for a century has developed cracks due to the encounter with new companions, but it needs to sever the ties of the past as a key to truly unlock itself.

Is this salvation, or a deeper tragedy?

Just as everyone's emotions were churning, deeply shocked by this cruel and contradictory plot.

The text on the Light Screen gradually faded away.

Instead, a dark and oppressive background was created.

Twisted giant trees, eerie energy torrents, and shattered ruins combine to create an apocalyptic scene.

A tall figure stood silently on the ruins, her long purple hair dancing in the wind, her posture as upright as a sword.

It was Sikeke.

Her face was expressionless, and her deep eyes revealed neither joy nor sorrow, like ice that had never melted.

Opposite her, another figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

The man was equally agile, but his face bore a manic and twisted smile. His gaze was fixed on Sikeke, as if he were looking at a long-lost friend or an irreconcilable enemy.

["It's been a long time, my dearest friend, Sikeke."]

A playful yet husky voice, accompanied by subtitles, clearly reached everyone's ears.

Skovnug!

Everyone's heart was in their throat at that moment.

It's here!

That fateful showdown is about to begin!

The camera on the Light Screen slowly zoomed in, fixing its view on Sikeke's expressionless face.

However, everyone saw that when she heard the words "closest friend," the hand that had been gripping the sword hilt tightened suddenly, and the veins bulged.

The Light Screen shifted, and the scene changed from a deep Abyss to a vast and boundless Sea of Stars.

The figure known as "The Extremely Evil Knight" Surtrochi hovered alone in the pitch-black vacuum. He made no earth-shattering movements, but simply raised one hand casually.

A cold, narration began.

In the scene, Surtrochi flicks his finger lightly.

There was no sound, no explosion, not even a glimmer of light.

But far ahead, in a galaxy that was once as brilliant as a diamond, the star at its center seemed to be choked by an invisible hand, its light rapidly dimming and extinguishing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, the planets orbiting it, freed from the Binding of gravity, began to drift and collide in chaos, eventually turning into cosmic dust in a deathly silence.

An entire galaxy, along with the countless civilizations and life that may have existed within it, simply vanished...

"..."

The entire Douluo God Realm, and even the Douluo Continent below, fell into an unprecedented silence as everyone who witnessed this scene watched.

Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eye widened to their maximum, his Divine Power surging wildly, yet he could only capture a Nihility. He felt his soul trembling; it wasn't fear, but an instinctive shudder of life facing an incomprehensible existence.

"Within the blink of an eye...?" He Caitou's voice was extremely dry. His proud Soul Tool Technology was as fragile as a joke in the face of this one finger.

Xu Sanshi opened his mouth, wanting to say something witty to ease the tension, but found that not a single word could be squeezed out of his throat. Jiang Nannan, who was beside him, had already turned deathly pale.

Tang Ya gripped Bei Bei's arm tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh.

"What... what kind of power is this?" Xue Ye slumped into his chair, his Emperor majesty completely gone, leaving only the insignificance and despair of a mortal.

Duke Dai Hao, this iron-blooded soldier, could only helplessly watch the Light Screen. His million-strong army was not even a speck of dust in the face of such power.

Ning Rongrong subconsciously glanced at Oscar beside her, who was also utterly horrified. She muttered to herself, "The amplification from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda... does it still have any meaning in the face of something like this?"

Within the God Realm Committee.

Tang San clenched his fists silently in his sleeves. The Sea God Trident seemed to sense its master's emotions and emitted a soft hum. As God King who ruled the Divine Realm, he considered himself to be one of the pinnacles of power, but that casual finger in the Light Screen made him feel a long-lost sense of powerlessness.

That was pure, irrational, and Rules- breaking "destruction."

"He didn't even use Divine Power, or any kind of energy as we understand it." Lie Yan's voice carried a hint of solemnity. She was once the queen of the Core World and had seen countless powerful beings, but she had never seen such "effortless" destruction.

Ji Dong's eyes burned with rage. "Destroying an entire star system just for a ' Shi Xing '? This is simply... an incomprehensible evil!"

Rong Nianbing frowned. As the God of Emotion, he could not sense any emotional fluctuations from Surtrochi. There was no pleasure in destruction, no excitement in killing, not even the slightest malice.
