Nibelungen Planted an "Undying Curse" on Phanes Before Being Conceptually Erased: Your Own People Will Turn Against You
In the end, under the numb, stunned gazes of viewers across countless worlds.
The Spear of the End, transcending concepts.
The Abyssal Singularity, devouring all things.
The two collided!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no world-destroying roar.
At the instant they touched, the entire Light Screen was utterly flooded by a kind of "light" and "darkness" that could not be described in words.
It was not light and darkness in the visual sense, but the most primal, savage, and absolute mutual annihilation of the two most fundamental Laws of the universe: "existence" and "Non-existence." It was the ultimate clash between order and the Abyss at the level of the world's very foundation!
Before everyone's eyes, there was only blank whiteness—or utter blackness. Their senses were stripped away, and their thoughts frozen.
"Who... who will win?" Zi's lips trembled slightly as she voiced the question in everyone's heart.
Ye Yinzhu gripped his zither tightly. He could not even imagine what kind of Lyre Music could depict even one ten-thousandth of this scene.
Gu Yuena watched the screen swallowed by light and darkness and gently shook her head.
After occupying the entire Light Screen for an unknown length of time, the light and darkness capable of annihilating Laws and devouring concepts finally began to slowly recede.
Just as the chaos following the universe's Big Bang from a singularity once again differentiated into order and Rules, that pure white and pure black which froze thought gradually peeled apart as well.
Everyone's senses returned at that moment.
The scene within the Light Screen finally appeared clearly once more before viewers from every world.
There were no cheers from the victors, nor wails from the defeated.
There was only deathly silence.
A silent starry sky, silent earth, and... two figures equally approaching their end.
High in the sky, Phanes—the Supreme God who had once shone with boundless radiance and represented absolute order and creation—could now only be described as "miserable."
His divine body, formed from light, was now covered in spiderweb-like black cracks, like an ancient porcelain vessel on the verge of shattering completely and falling apart at any moment.
The four Light Wings behind him, symbols of supreme authority, had gone completely dark. Only charred skeletal frames remained, hanging limply behind him.
The light within his divine body had dimmed to the extreme. It was the exhaustion and weakness of someone who had spent all his strength, burning even his origin away.
He had won.
But the price was a self nearly destroyed.
Meanwhile, at the center of the enormous abyssal rift below, the once-arrogant Lord of the Abyss, Nibelungen, had met an even more complete end.
Its body had long since ceased to exist. Those bones condensed from endless distortion and chaos had completely crumbled apart, leaving only a few broken fragments that, like weathered rocks, were slowly disintegrating bit by bit.
The all-devouring [Abyssal Singularity] had vanished without a trace.
All that remained was a faint ember of the Abyss, like the last candle flame in the wind, slowly dispersing amid its final flickers.
It had not died.
Rather, it had been completely erased and removed from the root of the very concept of "existence"!
From this day forth, whether in the past, present, or future, there would no longer be any trace of an existence called "Nibelungen."
This was the most absolute annihilation.
Within the God Realm Committee, there was deathly silence.
The God of Destruction opened his mouth, yet could not utter a single word. The destruction he represented was simply worlds apart from this kind of erasure at the root.
"Did... did he win?"
Huo Yuhao muttered to himself. His Spiritual Eye could finally see the scene on the Light Screen clearly, yet the result filled him with a chill that rose from his very soul.
This was not a victory at all. It was more like mutual destruction!
However, just as Nibelungen's final remnants were about to completely dissipate into nothingness.
A sudden change occurred!
From the few remaining bone fragments erupted an indescribable venomous hatred and unwillingness!
It was its final will before its existence was erased!
[I am the Abyss, and the Abyss is me!]
[You may erase my "existence," but you cannot erase "Non-existence" itself!]
[The hatred, unwillingness, pain, and despair of these endless worlds... shall all become my legacy!]
Boom!
All remaining Abyss Power, mixed with that undying hatred, frantically condensed into a pitch-black streak of light. Ignoring the distance of space and time, it instantly shot toward the utterly exhausted Phanes in the sky!
Phanes seemed to want to resist, but he had exhausted even the strength to raise an arm.
Like a red-hot branding iron pressed against ice and snow, that black streak of light let out a soft sizzle as it viciously branded itself onto Phanes's cracked chest!
It was not an attack, but a mark, a declaration, and a... curse that would never perish for all eternity!
The black mark spread across Phanes's divine body like a living creature, intertwining with the original golden cracks to form an eerie and horrifying pattern.
At the same time, a line of icy text appeared before every viewer's eyes.
[Nibelungen, before dissipating, mixed endless hatred and unwillingness with Abyss Power, transforming them into a black curse branded upon Phanes's divine body.]
[Curse prophecy: A new "Usurper" shall surely be born among your "people." The "order" you established will ultimately face betrayal from all sides and the day of total collapse!]
The Douluo God Realm before the Light Screen fell completely silent.
Every Deity, including those former God Kings, felt a chill run through their entire bodies.
"What... what a vicious curse!" Chang Gongwei's voice trembled slightly. He could not imagine what kind of power could leave such an indelible mark upon a Supreme God.
"It lost the war, yet won the future." Tang San's expression was incomparably grave. Purple light flickered in his eyes, as though he sought to see through the essence of that curse.
"This is not a curse on the level of power, but contamination on the level of Laws! It planted the concept of 'destruction' into the core of 'order'! So long as Negative Emotions still exist in this world, this curse will never disappear. It will only deliver a fatal blow when Phanes is at his weakest!"
Tang San's words made every Deity present draw in a sharp breath.
This meant that although Phanes had won, his divine body would forever bear a backdoor—a bomb that could be detonated at any time!
"What a ruthless method." The Dragon God spoke in a low voice, his dragon eyes filled with wariness. "Order defeated chaos, yet chaos has stained it black forever. From this moment on, so-called 'absolute order' exists in name only."
Tang Wulin clenched his fists tightly. The Golden Dragon King Bloodline within him roared uneasily. He could feel that the curse contained the most fundamental malice toward all order and all Rules.
