Failure of Self-Nirvana (4K)

On the far side of the moon, a place entirely invisible from the human planet.

A crude altar had been quietly erected there.

At the center of an Incantation formation stood the winged child-like Guardian of Hope, bound to the altar.

Its infant-like limbs were continuously melting away, while white flames rose from its body.

As the most special Guardian, it possessed a constitution similar to that of a "shrine maiden." While it could not serve as a sacrifice when a "god" fell into slumber on its own, it could sacrifice itself while the "god" still existed, pushing its abilities of "escape" and "hope" to their utmost limits to help the god escape danger once.

Thus, ever since its birth, it had been sent here by the god and had slumbered for countless years. Its sole mission was to sacrifice itself at the final moment.

And now, after receiving Moth Old Man's memories from before his death, it knew the time had come!

As the ritual began and its body continued to melt away, strands of holy light emerged from the carved grooves of the Incantation formation. The light began to circulate, as though opening a passage leading to an unknown place.

On the ground, the upper half of the "god's" body had already entered the passage, but her feet were firmly seized by Wu Heng, whose entire body was wreathed in black and red energy.

The entrance to the passage was constantly shrinking.

Wu Heng unleashed all his strength and forced half his body inside. Then, a series of crackling explosions came from within his body.

The thick fat, skin, and flesh on his body suddenly sagged, as if clothes that had once fit perfectly had abruptly become oversized, leaving his skeleton utterly unable to hold them up.

Shrrk!
