Here it comes. The big one!

Su Chen's spirits lifted. This was the "true Pluto" he'd been waiting for!

[You deliberately blocked the news of your resurrection. For the past five years, you had become a Death God prowling the darkness, relentlessly hunting Evil Soul Masters and high-level Soul Beasts.]

[There were no innocent souls beneath the Pluto Sword, only fuel. Every living being that fell to your blade became a stepping stone to greater strength.]

[Age 18: You successfully condensed Yin-Yang Dual Soul Cores and advanced to Titled Douluo!]

[The youngest Titled Douluo in the history of the Douluo Continent was born!]

[The outside world didn't know your real name. They only knew that a terrifying, taboo title had appeared on the continent—]

[Gray Terror!]

[One day, you went to Evil Eye Forest to hunt for your Ninth Soul Ring. On the way, you passed through a battle zone between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire.]

[You had no intention of meddling in a mortal war, but someone insisted on courting death.]

[Duke White Tiger Dai Hao of the Star Luo Empire saw the sinister aura around you and immediately assumed you were an Evil Soul Master. He even led an entire Soul Master corps in an attempt to "capture you alive."]

["Ants, how dare you gaze upon a god?"]

[You laughed in fury. Since Dai Hao was determined to get himself killed, you would grant his wish!]

[The Pluto Sword emerged, and heaven and earth changed color.]

[One slash! With a single slash, Duke White Tiger Dai Hao and the Soul Master corps behind him were reduced to dust!]

[Once your desire for slaughter was unleashed, it was difficult to rein in. To teach those fools a lesson, you casually razed several cities along the Star Luo border.]

[Your atrocities drew out a Titled Douluo elder of the Star Luo Empire.]

[Yet in your presence, a so-called Titled Douluo was nothing more than a slightly stronger ant.]

[Three moves! You cut the elder down and hung his head above the city gates.]

[After this battle, the name "Gray Terror" resounded across the heavens, making children throughout the Douluo Three Kingdoms cry!]

[Though the righteous loathed you, the Holy Spirit Cult worshipped you, hailing you as a demon lord sent from heaven and frantically inviting you to become its Holy Son.]

"..."

Su Chen's mouth twitched.

Good grief. I really had become the big bad.

But... this feeling of doing whatever I wanted and killing without hesitation was exhilarating!

[At eighteen, you were a Titled Douluo. With your hands in your pockets, you looked out across the world, and there were few left who could catch your eye.]

[To obtain resources, you joined the Holy Spirit Cult. With the Cult's resources poured into you, your Soul Ring Configuration became extravagantly powerful: two black, seven red!]

[Your status soared, and you were second only to the Supreme Cult Master, "Death Douluo" Ye Xishui.]

[Though your strength had skyrocketed, you hadn't let it cloud your judgment.]

[You knew Shrek still had the Golden Tree as its trump card. And though the current pavilion master, Xuan Zi, was useless, he was still a Level 98 Super Douluo.]

[You chose to keep a low profile and wait for the perfect moment to strike.]

[Age 23: Five years to sharpen one sword.]

[You successfully broke through to Level 97 and advanced to Super Douluo!]

[Your Innate Domain, [Underworld Rebirth], evolved into its ultimate form—[Death Feast]!]

[You even created your own divine technique—[Pluto Three Styles]!]

[The time had come. It was time to settle the score.]

[When Ye Xishui learned you intended to challenge Shrek alone, she was shocked and offered to send the elders to assist you. You flatly refused.]

[You alone were enough to kill Xuan Zi!]

[A few days later, dark clouds loomed over Shrek City.]

[You made no effort to conceal the terrifying aura of death you released. The entire Shrek Academy was instantly thrown into alarm!]

[An aged figure shot into the sky. It was Xuan Zi, who had long since advanced to Level 99 and become a Limit Douluo.]

[When Xuan Zi saw your face, he looked as though he'd been struck by lightning. His eyes filled with terror and disbelief.]

["It's you?! You... weren't you dead?!"]

[You didn't bother to reply. A cruel smile curled your lips.]

["Xuan Zi, I've kept you waiting ten years for this sword!"]

[Domain unleashed—[Death Feast]!]

[Twelve heavily armored Skeleton Knights, each emanating the aura of a Super Douluo, burst through the air and surrounded Xuan Zi!]

[Xuan Zi panicked. Though he was a Limit Douluo, he could smell death on a Level 97 junior!]

[He frantically drew upon the Golden Tree's power to resist, but before your Pluto Sword, all struggle was futile.]

[You took advantage of his ignorance of your abilities and exploited the perfect information gap.]

[Pluto Sword Art, Third Style—God Slayer!]

[A gray sword arc split the sky, severing Xuan Zi's Martial Soul Avatar and shattering his Godly Taotie Bull Martial Soul along with it!]

[Xuan Zi had fallen!]

[Blood rained down on Shrek. The world was shaken!]

[When Huo Yuhao arrived with a group of senior elders, all he found was Xuan Zi's mutilated corpse.]

[And among the crowd, a familiar figure—Zhang Lexuan—stared at you blankly, tears blurring her vision.]

[She couldn't believe that her younger brother, whom she'd missed day and night and thought long dead, had come back to life.]

[Even less could she believe that he'd become a ruthless killer and personally murdered Shrek's pavilion master.]

["Xiao Chen... why...?"]

[Faced with his sister's question, you offered no explanation. You only gave Huo Yuhao and the others a cold glance.]

[The battle erupted.]

[Even as Huo Yuhao, the Child of Destiny, and Shrek's other experts surrounded you, you remained at ease.]

[The Pluto Sword Art swept through them. Huo Yuhao was badly wounded and spat blood. Had the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm not protected him, he would already have died beneath your blade.]

[You left at your leisure. No one could stop you!]

[After this battle, the name "Pluto Douluo" Su Chen shook the cosmos! Shrek Academy was utterly humiliated!]

[Age 25: You broke through once more, condensed a Third Soul Core, and became a Limit Douluo!]

[Your strength finally drew the attention of the Divine Realm.]

[Two divine thoughts descended at once: Sea God Tang San and the God of Destruction.]

[When the two God Kings sought to recruit you, you chose the God of Destruction without hesitation.]

[Because you knew exactly what kind of person Tang San was.]

[Your choice, however, completely enraged that "pure and righteous" God King.]

[Tang San thundered, his divine voice echoing across the heavens: "You refuse to see reason! You have a death wish!"]

[Just as you were about to ascend to the Divine Realm and receive the God of Destruction's inheritance—]

[Tang San disregarded the rules of the Divine Realm and openly attacked!]

[An Asura Blood Sword descended from the heavens, bearing the irresistible might of a God King, and erased you completely!]

[The God of Destruction wanted to save you, but Tang San forcibly stopped him, claiming, "This man is an Evil Soul Master. He must be executed."]

[You died.]

[You died at the hands of the Divine Realm's shamelessness.]

"666!"

Su Chen laughed in fury, nearly smashing the panel before him.

"You're not even pretending anymore, huh?"

"You killed me right in front of the God King of Destruction? And this is what you call enforcing the law?"

"Tang San, you really have no shame!"

Though the ending was infuriating, the fire in Su Chen's eyes only burned hotter.

If you, Tang San, were going to fight dirty, then don't blame me, Su Chen, for flipping the table!

[First simulation ended. Calculating rewards...]
