Aeon of Voracity, what are you staring at? Keep it up and I'll eat you too!

"Perhaps? But I'm worried he's getting addicted to it. I remember him saying that if nothing unexpected happens, he'll be back soon, and we can call him back in an emergency if we have any problems. But now... I'm very worried that he's become addicted to Nihility," Acheron said worriedly.

"Is the 'Ling' just like you and me?"

"Just like you and me." Acheron nodded.

Those who truly delve into Nihility are unaware of it themselves.

Just like a person who actually has depression wouldn't go around telling everyone online that they have depression.

The loneliness of a depressed person is often unknown even to themselves, because they have become accustomed to solitude.

Similarly, those Self-Destructor also do not know what Nihility is, because they have become one with Nihility.

Acheron was very worried that Chen Li would waste his life devouring the Nanook because he was so deeply Nihility in the Void.

Although Acheron didn't know what benefit Chen Li would gain from devouring the Nanook, Acheron knew that Chen Li was definitely not devouring the Void Nanook for the sake of devouring it.

"I remember you seem to be able to communicate with him through Miraculous Item, right?" Ternan asked.

"That's right, but he didn't answer."

"Then let's try using the Resurrection Card. Since he said he can be called back in an emergency if there's a problem, it means he can be disturbed. When you have the opportunity to make a choice, don't let yourself regret it." Ternan emphasized the last sentence.

After hesitating for a moment, Acheron placed the back of the Miracle Card, which was the Golden Honkai-Moe King's head, onto the red HOMU head stamp on the back of his hand.

Approved.

The mist on the Resurrection Card began to dissipate, and Chen Li's appearance was gradually revealed at Acheron's command.

Acheron used the card.

The card flew up.

The card fell to the ground.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Ternan asked.

"It's not that there's a problem... it's just that the Resurrection Card displays 'The character you wish to revive is currently reviving, please try again later.'"

"???"

"However, the Resurrection Card does offer another option, which is to queue. It seems that no one has issued Resurrection Card for Chen Li, so the current queue number is 1." Acheron was a little confused by the resurrection mechanism of the Resurrection Card.

Just as Acheron was worried that Chen Li's resurrection meant that something had really happened to Chen Li, Acheron suddenly felt a blur before his eyes.

"The resurrection stage, come if you want to live!" A murmured voice rang in Acheron's ears.

When Acheron came to his senses, he found himself in a spectator's seat, with a huge arena below.

To Acheron's relief, she saw Chen Li's figure on the arena.

But what made Acheron uneasy was that Chen Li seemed to be emanating some kind of ominous aura.

This aura is very close to Nihility, even closer to nothingness than the Acheron.

"Eat, eat, eat! I'm fucking eating! Just one more bite!"

"Take another bite! Surpass a thousand people!"

"Hey bro, you smell amazing."

Chen Li muttered strange words, and his mouth kept opening and closing.

"Chen Li?" Acheron subconsciously stood up and called out, then Acheron realized that he seemed to be able to leave the audience seats.

"Hmm?" Acheron Quan thought that Chen Li was not listening to people right now, but he did not expect that Chen Li would respond the moment he called him.

After his previously lifeless eyes regained their sparkle, Chen Li saw Acheron walking towards the arena.

"Hey, Acheron, long time no see." Chen Li greeted Acheron in a relaxed tone.

"Are you alright?" Acheron asked after letting out a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry about it, I was just hypnotizing myself."

"Self-hypnosis?"

"I'll explain this to you later. Right now... it seems I have to play in the Revival Match. You can stay in the family and friends section for a while," Chen Li said.

"Friends and family seats?" Acheron wasn't quite sure what a normal arena match was like, but Acheron seemed to remember that when the competitors were fighting, there would be some coaches and friends standing on the sidelines cheering them on and directing their tactics.

This is probably the seating area for family and friends.

"Huh? I'm fighting Gilgamesh? Really?" Acheron was still pondering the meaning of the friends and family section when he heard Chen Li's exclamation from the arena.

Acheron looked up and saw that the constantly scrolling image opposite Chen Li finally settled on a blond man with an arrogant expression.

"Is it difficult to fight? Can I help you?" Acheron asked.

"You definitely can't help. As for how difficult this person is to fight, it's hard to say. This Gilgamesh is the kind of... the kind of..." Chen Li hesitated as he watched Gilgamesh slowly construct his body after his opponent in the Revival Match was confirmed.

This guy is really the kind of person who... has "invincible" written all over his face, but his most invincible enemy is his foul mouth.

But it's not a big problem.

After Gilgamesh appeared, a 30-second countdown appeared on the ring.

This 30-second countdown is a trash-talking segment prepared for both sides in the Revival Match, and also a segment where they draw their weapons.

Psychological warfare is also a part of the battle.

"So you're my opponent this time? You're unlucky to have met me, you bastard..."

"If you dare utter that word, believe me, I'll drag the real you out of the Throne of Heroes and beat you so badly your own mother wouldn't recognize you!" Chen Li, carrying a huge pair of scissors, stared at Gilgamesh with ill intent.

The players selected through the Revival Match are all reflections of the real deceased.

They possess their own reason and emotions.

However, Chen Li can be resurrected if he wins the Revival Match, but his opponent cannot be resurrected if he wins the Revival Match.

Heroic Spirits are arguably the most unique group in the Revival Match.

Every Heroic Spirit has inevitably died, but those residing in Hall of Heroes are, in a sense, alive.

They are in Quantum Superposition between death and life.

"You!"

"Besides, if we're talking about bastards, don't you think that you, who are 2/3 god and 1/3 human, are the least qualified to call others that?" Chen Li calmly disassembled the Myriad Judgment of All Things into two scissor blades.

"... So you know me, then you should know the consequences of angering me!" Gilgamesh reached into a golden ripple and pulled out a cylindrical sword.

Then another ripple appeared behind them, from which countless weapons emerged, poised to strike.

Finally Gilgamesh, clad in golden armor, summoned a round shield decorated with seven petals to protect himself, and a metal round shield to protect his back.

"Gate of Babylon, EA, the Seven Rings of the Heavenly Walls, the World Encompassing the Heavens? You really think highly of me." Chen Li, who could barely recognize the prototypes of these weapons, was both amused and exasperated.

You've never used such a complete set of equipment even in the Holy Grail War, have you?

The Gate of Babylon (E~A++) is connected to the treasure vault of the "Golden City," allowing one to freely retrieve the treasures stored within. It is said to contain all the treasures of the human world and is often used by Gilgamesh to launch his Noble Phantasms like bullets.

The World-Canceling Noble Phantasm EA (EX) is a sword known as the "Sword that Cuts the World." It is said to be the strongest sword, as it emits wind pressure that can create a simulated spatial fracture that can shatter enemies.

The shield of Ajax, a hero used in the Trojan War, was a bronze shield topped with Seven Rings of the Heavenly Walls layers of leather, a masterpiece that defended against the javelins of Hector, the Great Hero, who was said to be invincible. Afterwards, the concept of projectile weapons as "Concept Weapon" renowned for their absolute defensive power spread, elevating their status.

The World Encompassing the Heavens (A+) is a defensive barrier Noble Phantasm comparable to the Seven Rings of the Heavenly Walls. It is a shield created by Hephaestus, the god of forging. To confront this shield is to confront the world itself; once activated, it can defend against Noble Phantasms of people, armies, cities, nations, and gods.

It seems that Gilgamesh was indeed provoked by Chen Li.

"Just wait to die, trash." Gilgamesh watched the countdown on the arena gradually reach zero, then snapped his fingers.

Countless Noble Phantasms behind Gilgamesh were instantly launched, and then Gilgamesh raised his Ea, chanting the true name of the Noble Phantasm.

Ending the battle in three seconds upon meeting is exactly what Gilgamesh is pursuing now.

Gilgamesh is going to teach Chen Li a lesson!

But the next moment, the Seven Rings of the Heavenly Walls that Gilgamesh had placed in front of him was instantly pierced through.

Even after using the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star (EX-rank Noble Phantasm), which allows him to see through everything, Gilgamesh still couldn't discern the effect of Chen Li's weapon or predict Chen Li's next move. He knew his enemy was no ordinary foe, but he never expected that the Seven Rings of the Heavenly Walls, which possessed absolute defense against projectile weapons, could be so easily pierced by the thrown weapon.

However, at the critical moment, Gilgamesh slightly turned his head and just missed the blade that still had some strength left after piercing through the Seven Rings of the Heavenly Walls.

Standing still, Chen Li watched the Noble Phantasm hurtling towards him. He simply flicked the other scissor blade in his hand, and it sliced through space.

Chen Li swiftly slipped into the torn space and appeared the next moment at the end of the other scissor blade that Gilgamesh had dodged, behind Gilgamesh.

Chen Li swiftly grabbed the scissors, then turned and slashed, one sword cleaving open the World Encompassing the Heavens, the other directly decapitating the enemy.

It possesses the power to Sever Everything Judgment of All Things and easily resolves everything.

The battle ends in three seconds.

[This is too ominous!]

"No, is the Judgment of All Things and Yin?" Chen Li, who won the Revival Match in three seconds, was very dissatisfied, carrying two scissor blades.

I haven't used the even more sinister and Miraculous Items yet.

Chen Li's decision not to walk up to the other Friends Circle open and stab them, or to unleash a Tai Xu Sword God, was already showing Gilgamesh enough respect.

Chen Li is the player who respects Gilgamesh the most so far in the entire Revival Match!

"It's a pity that I can't collect the loot dropped by the opponent when I'm playing the Revival Match. Even if I win a great victory, I can't collect the entries. Otherwise, I really want to taste what that EA tastes like. It looks like a seaweed rice ball..." Chen Li, who was resurrected on the shore of the dead, said with some regret.

However, considering that the main function of the Revival Match is revival, and that the opponents in the Revival Match are all projections of the dead, it is reasonable that no loot can be obtained.

"No matter what, fortunes change, and I, the Golden HOMU King, am back! Did you all miss me?" Chen Li warmly embraced everyone.

"Ding-a-ling!" The bell rang.

"It's time for the old friends in line to soak in the hot springs." After hearing this bell Ternan turned around and left.

This left Chen Li, who had originally planned to hug Ternan, feeling awkward.

It's not awkward to hug friends after returning home, but it becomes awkward when only one of your two friends is of the opposite sex.

"Welcome back." Fortunately, Acheron didn't look down on Chen Li and went up to hug him.

"Waaaaah, Mei, you're so kind."

"Just call me Acheron." After giving Chen Li a Nihility hug, Acheron let go of his hand.

"Okay Mei, no problem Mei." Chen Li nodded vigorously.

"... Seeing you so energetic is a good thing. But you seem to have been gone for a long time this time, what happened?" Acheron gave a helpless smile.

"Yes, it took a long time..." Recalling his experiences during that time, Chen Li's eyes glazed over slightly.

That was truly an exhilarating meal!

Chapter 178 Devouring Star God, what are you looking at? Look again and I'll eat you too!

"If you're really curious about what happened, take a look at these two Miracle Cards." Chen Li said, pulling out two Miracle Cards with different covers.

On the cover of a Miracle Card is a tiny black dot standing in front of two enormous figures. Even though the size difference between the three is too great, anyone who sees this scene will involuntarily focus their gaze on the tiny figure, as if he were the protagonist.

The other Miracle Card features Chen Li wearing a white lab coat.

Chen Li remained silent, only gazing tenderly at the audience watching the Miracle Card. Just feeling that gaze filled them with confidence in life.

Chen Li's gaze in the second Miracle Card made Acheron momentarily lose focus, but Acheron quickly regained his senses, came over, and looked at the [True Names] of the two Miracle Cards.

One is the "God of Gluttony," and the other is the "Chaos Physician."

Acheron placed his finger on the first Miracle Card. Amidst the swirling light and shadow, Acheron saw Chen Li's figure from a God's Perspective, and witnessed the [Miracle] emanating from Chen Li.

The performance of the Friends Circle in the [Nihility] was not ideal. However, the one second of invincibility and the three seconds of invulnerability gave Chen Li enough time to take the first bite of the Devouring Nanook.

Then, light appeared inside the "black hole".

It is both the light that emerges after darkness is swallowed up and the gaze that the Devouring Star God casts upon the warrior Chen Li.

Devouring Star God never considered devouring the Nihility.

In response to the Devouring Star God's gaze, Chen Li merely gave a shy smile, then opened his mouth towards the Devouring Star God...

"You ate the Devouring Star God?" Acheron, having regained his senses, looked at Chen Li in disbelief.

"What I ate was only the glimpse of the Devouring Star God, not the Devouring Star God," Chen Li corrected Acheron's grammatical error.
