Lin Ao hovered quietly in mid-air, his expression extremely calm, as if everything in this world was under his control.
He narrowed his deep eyes slightly, staring at the spatial rift where Fate had vanished, his face showing no sign of panic.
Then, without any haste, he raised one hand and made a light sweep in the air, instantly revealing a dazzling and magnificent spatial rift.
Lin Ao stepped calmly into it, like a king about to enter an unknown and mysterious realm, majestic and domineering.
Within that spatial rift, a mysterious and primordial aura permeated the air, with colorful lights intertwining and shimmering incessantly, resembling a breathtakingly beautiful dreamlike painting.
However, Lin Ao's gaze remained steadfast, fixed on the direction in which Fate was fleeing, never letting up for a moment.
He moved swiftly through this strange and wonderful space, his figure as fast as lightning.
Each movement created a faint spatial ripple, as if he had become one with this mysterious space, inseparable from it.
Lin Ao's flowing long hair fluttered freely behind him, and the dot between his eyebrows emitted a mysterious and strange light, illuminating his path and guiding him in the right direction.
Fate was desperately fleeing ahead, and when she looked back, she saw Lin Ao following her at a leisurely pace.
A sense of fear crept into her heart.
She had never imagined that Lin Ao would possess such great power.
In that brief moment of contact, the immense power she felt left with a profound sense of powerlessness; she knew she could not defeat Lin Ao.
She recklessly used the chaotic power within the rift, frantically traversing the spatial rift in an attempt to escape Lin Ao's pursuit.
However, Lin Ao followed him like a shadow, no matter how Fate tried to escape him, he always stayed close behind.
A cold glint appeared in his eyes as he fixed his gaze on her panicked figure, leaving her nowhere to escape.
As time slowly passed, the pace of Fate gradually slowed down, and her power was gradually being depleted.
Lin Ao, however, maintained a steady pace, pressing forward relentlessly and giving Fate no chance to breathe.
Finally, Fate came to a stop, and she slowly turned around to face Lin Ao.
" Lin Ao! Don't push me!!!"
The voice of Fate carried a tremor and a hint of anger!
The power within her surged wildly, carrying with it various unstable elements.
The void within the cracks became increasingly distorted, as if it might collapse at any moment.
Lin Ao gazed at Fate, a meaningful smile slowly spreading across his face.
"I forced you? Hmph, isn't it because you pushed me to this point that I'm in this situation?"
His voice was steady and powerful, echoing continuously within the spatial rift, as if carrying boundless might.
Lin Ao slowly extended one hand, and in an instant, an extremely powerful force surged out like a raging tide.
Upon seeing Fate, Fate's pupils contracted slightly, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, she transformed into bursts of dazzling light and vanished from the spot.
However, Lin Ao remained unfazed, letting out a cold snort that resounded like thunder within the spatial rift.
"Trying to escape? Not so easy!"
His figure flashed, like a bolt of lightning instantly tearing through the chaotic void.
In this strange space, Lin Ao's speed reached its limit, as if time itself had stopped before him.
Each movement unleashed a violent spatial storm, shattering the surrounding vibrant light into fragments, as if a dreamlike painting were being mercilessly torn apart.
Fate raced wildly ahead, and the light emanating from her streaked across the darkness like a shooting star.
She could clearly feel Lin Ao's powerful aura, which was always with her, like an insurmountable mountain pressing down on her heart.
" Lin Ao, why are you being so aggressive!"
Fate roared, its voice echoing through the cracks, yet it seemed so powerless.
With a sudden wave of her hand, countless dazzling yet destructive beams of energy shot towards Lin Ao.
Wherever these beams of light passed, space was torn apart with terrifying cracks, as if the entire space was about to collapse.
But Lin Ao was not afraid at all. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold glint flashed in them.
With a light stomp of his foot, a vast, ocean-like power surged forth from beneath him, instantly shattering the energy beams.
"I laughed. Weren't you the one who started this aggressive behavior?"
Lin Ao's voice echoed through the space like a divine pronouncement.
He stretched out one hand, and a huge ball of energy condensed in his palm. Mysterious runes flickered within the ball, radiating a chilling power.
With a gentle push, Lin Ao sent the energy ball hurtling towards its Fate like a doomsday star.
Wherever the energy ball passed, space was distorted beyond recognition, as if the entire spatial rift was trembling.
Fate watched in horror as the energy ball hurtled towards her, desperately gathering all her strength to try and withstand this terrifying attack.
The light emanating from her body surged instantly, and all twelve arms swung simultaneously, unleashing a variety of powerful weapons that hurtled towards the energy sphere.
However, the moment the two collided, the weapon of Fate was instantly destroyed, and the power of the energy ball was only slightly weakened, continuing to fly towards her.
"No!"
Fate cried out in despair, but it could not change its impending Fate. The energy ball slammed into Fate, unleashing a deafening roar.
The entire spatial rift trembled violently under the impact of this force, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Fate was sent flying, its light dimmed considerably, and a mouthful of blood turned into a crimson glow.
But Lin Ao did not give up. He flashed and instantly appeared beside Fate.
He reached out a hand, grabbed Fate by the neck, and lifted her up.
Fate's eyes emitted a blinding red light, striking Lin Ao directly on the forehead, causing a violent explosion.
Lin Ao loosened his grip slightly, and Fate once again transformed into a crimson glow, attempting to escape.
However, Lin Ao remained unfazed, coldly turned around, and gently clenched his fist in a direction that seemed to be nothingness.
"Ah--------!"
A bloodcurdling scream suddenly rang out from the crack, instantly adding an eerie atmosphere to the otherwise empty space.
Then, a figure slowly appeared before Lin Ao's eyes.
She was struggling desperately, as if bound tightly by something mysterious, unable to break free.
"Damn it! Damn it!!!! Why can't I merge with you! Why can a puppet have reached this point! I was born in accordance with the world, nurtured by heaven and earth! Why am I inferior to a puppet!!!"
Fate, disheveled and seemingly insane, roared with resentment and anger.
Lin Ao looked at her quietly, without responding to her question.
"It's over."
Lin Ao spoke calmly, but his voice conveyed a sense of determination.
He carried his Fate with him, casually tearing open a rift, then resolutely turned and walked towards the exit of the spatial rift.
Before long, Lin Ao arrived at a place and casually tossed his Fate to the ground.
Fate crashed to the ground in a sorry state, its eyes still filled with resentment and anger.
She glared at Lin Ao as if she wanted to devour him alive.
However, Lin Ao remained calm, looking down at her as if she were a loser.
" Lin Ao, do you think you've won? This isn't over yet!"
Fate gritted its teeth and said viciously.
Lin Ao raised an eyebrow slightly, a mocking smile appearing on his lips.
"Oh? What other trouble can you possibly cause?"
Yun remained silent, but the power within him began to surge once more.
She tried to break free from Lin Ao's restraints, but found that the restraints were as solid as steel and could not be moved in the slightest.
"Give up, you have no chance anymore."
Lin Ao said calmly.
Fate, however, was unwilling to accept defeat so easily; a resolute glint flashed in her eyes.
Suddenly, a powerful force erupted from her, a force that seemed to tear the entire space apart.
Lin Ao frowned slightly; he hadn't expected Fate to unleash such powerful force under these circumstances.
He acted swiftly, attempting to suppress Fate once more.
However, Fate seized the opportunity to break free of its restraints and pounced on Lin Ao.
Lin Ao merely glanced at her indifferently, his gaze fixed on her crazed appearance.
She instantly transformed into a red starlight and charged straight towards Lin Ao's brow.
"You are utterly ridiculous, only now attempting to seize another's body?"
Lin Ao couldn't help but chuckle softly, and an extremely violent energy fluctuation occurred between the starlight and his mark.
Lin Ao, however, remained standing there steadily, without moving an inch.
He slowly raised his hand, then suddenly grabbed forward and slammed it hard against the ground.
In an instant, the ground began to crack and split open, producing an extremely violent shaking sound.
Just then, a golden light flashed behind Lin Ao, and Heavenly Mandate stepped out from that light.
With a slight movement of her hands, the entire world seemed to freeze, enveloped by a golden barrier.
At that moment, two figures appeared on the ground.
Fate lay weakly on the ground, breathing with difficulty, her body bearing tiny cracks.
It turns out that Lin Ao's punch just now was imbued with Fate Energy Fate Energy, which was now causing all sorts of damage within her body.
"Heh... Heh..."
Fate's crimson eyes gradually dimmed. She slowly turned her gaze to Lin Ao and Heavenly Mandate.
"Hehe, I really didn't expect this! I never would have guessed!"
Fate struggled to sit up. At this moment, her hair was disheveled and loose, but her eyes had returned to normal.
Her long hair fell to the ground, and she looked extremely broken, as if she might fall apart at any moment.
"I never imagined that one of my puppets of Fate would... Heh heh heh..."
Fate raised its head and looked once more at Lin Ao and Heavenly Mandate.
"Sister... tell me, where exactly did I go wrong all these years?"
The words that Fate suddenly uttered stunned Lin Ao, and he looked at Heavenly Mandate with astonishment.
elder sister?
Heavenly Mandate's face remained expressionless as she took a step forward.
"Your mistake lies in your excessive greed, in your wanton manipulation of the world's rules. Our existence should not be about interfering in anything in this world."
Heavenly Mandate completely concealed his aura.
She slowly squatted down and quietly looked at Fate.
Fate listened to the words of Heavenly Mandate, and a bitter smile appeared on its lips.
"Greed? Interfering with the rules of the world? Haha... Sister, from the very beginning, weren't we born to dominate this world? We possess power beyond that of ordinary people, shouldn't we control everything?"
The voice of Fate was weak, yet carried a hint of madness.
"I am Fate itself, why should I be at the mercy of ' Fate '! You set the rules, so why should I follow them?!"
Fate, struggling to its feet, shakily rose to its feet.
A faint white light was seeping through the cracks in her body.
"I am Fate itself!!! Why can't I control my own destiny!!!"
Fate roared excitedly, then gasped for breath.
"Once I merge with your power, I can become like him!! I can create a world of my own!! I will be the supreme ruler, I will set the rules, I will do whatever I want! I can decide who lives and who dies! Why not me!!!"
She weakly raised her hand and pointed at Lin Ao.
Heavenly Mandate shook his head slightly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"While we possess immense power, this does not mean we can do whatever we want. Everything in the world has its own laws, and our existence is meant to maintain balance, not disrupt it. This is the meaning of our birth, and it is this very need in the world that led to our creation. Conversely..."
Heavenly Mandate looked at Lin Ao standing to the side.
"Someone will always be born to fulfill this need; if it's not Lin Ao, it will be Lin Tian, Lin Di..."
Heavenly Mandate then turned its attention back to Fate.
At this point, Fate had no chance to fight back.
She kept her head down, her shoulders trembling.
"Hahahaha!! Hahahahahaha!"
She suddenly threw her head back and laughed loudly, and due to the large movement, she fell backward.
Her laughter continued unabated; she was still laughing on the ground.
"So, I was the pawn all along... Hahahaha!"
Fate laughed and clutched his stomach.
She gave Heavenly Mandate a deep look.
Lin Ao stood quietly to the side, watching their conversation. He had never imagined that there was such a complex relationship between Fate and Heavenly Mandate.
Is one of the Fate Stones a sister complex?
Lin Ao's thoughts were wandering, so he shook his head and tossed the things away.
After laughing, Fate on Earth remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"I'm tired... End it all!"
As she spoke, she slowly closed her eyes.
