Darkness gradually enveloped everything.
The last vestiges of scenery vanished without a trace.
Yan Huan felt his vision blur, and the next moment, he found himself within a space of consciousness.
And there, the white-haired man's figure stood before him.
He was a wisp of consciousness separated from Nanook, a mere clone for all intents and purposes.
"This is your mental world," the Nanook clone said, looking around.
The entire space suddenly brightened.
It was a universe, but not like the one in the Nanook clone's memories.
"You will forever bid farewell to this scenery."
Being invaded in one's consciousness by an Aeon was essentially a death sentence.
"Why are you so relentlessly pursuing me?" Yan Huan's expression was extremely grim.
With his current strength, why would Nanook, an Aeon, target him like this?
In the end, he was just a nobody at Emanator First Tier.
Did he really need this level of attention?
The Nanook clone slowly spoke:
"You are a threat. That's all there is to it."
"I can still be a threat to you?"
Yan Huan did intend to kill the Aeon of Destruction, but that was for later.
It wasn't so urgent that Nanook had to split off a wisp of consciousness to block him here.
"You have already changed many things. I cannot allow a variable like you to live."
An ancient aura diffused from around the Nanook clone, sweeping across the entire consciousness space.
He intended to destroy this place along with everything in it.
"Some people were meant to die, but they lived because of you. Some people were meant to be separated, but they stayed together because of you."
The Nanook clone's gaze deepened.
"The end of all things is inevitably Destruction. Yet, you can alter causality. I cannot let you grow any further."
"Oh? Is that so?" Yan Huan suddenly mused after hearing this.
Could he really change the world? Even the Aeon of Destruction said so.
Then, he suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha... So that's how it is."
His eyes sharpened. "Meaning, I really can change many things, right?"
"As long as I act, as long as my strength is sufficient, I can mold this imperfect world into what I desire."
"That's wonderful..."
Yan Huan's laughter grew more unhinged, seemingly delighted by this confirmation.
The Nanook clone watched Yan Huan's increasingly frenzied expression, unable to help but be moved.
What exactly did this person want to change?
He had gained consciousness because of a Stellaron.
Could someone like that also have their own wishes?
Yan Huan's laughter abruptly ceased, his voice hoarse. "Aeon of Destruction, you and your path... you are truly a scourge." Yan Huan slowly raised his head, his golden pupils burning fiercely.
"Do you know how many people have died by your Antimatter Legion's hands? They had families, children. Suddenly, a great disaster claimed them all, reducing them to dust. There was no one to mourn them, no one to hear their cries. Were those people indebted to this path?"
His smile grew wilder.
Even the Nanook clone's expression turned grim.
"If you truly had the ability, you would go and kill all the other Aeons... What kind of skill is it to use the Antimatter Legion to slaughter defenseless weaklings?"
"Let me tell you," Yan Huan's eyes burned with increasing fervor. "Since you are determined to take my life today, I will also show you... just how far humanity can struggle!"
The Nanook clone remained calm, his eyes as still as a deep well.
"You cannot defeat me. This consciousness space will become your prison."
"Hehehe, that would be wonderful!"
Yan Huan spoke with gusto while frantically channeling Imaginary Energy.
Instantly, the entire space was wracked by immense tremors, causing even the Nanook clone to frown slightly.
"Are you insane? You're actively collapsing your own consciousness space."
"Yeah, didn't see that coming, did you?!"
Yan Huan spread his hands, letting every cell in his body tear apart. The pain, like ten thousand ants gnawing at his heart, made his golden eyes gleam with increasing madness.
"Hahaha... Perhaps as you said, I'm going to die either way, so why don't we play a big game!"
In an instant, Yan Huan's aura exploded with power. Within the crumbling consciousness space, he finally reached his peak!
At this moment, his gaze was sharp as a torch, his meridians flowed like molten gold, and the Heavenly Fire Greatsword in his hand unleashed an even more ferocious edge.
Under Yan Huan's control, its form grew once more!
He tightly gripped the fiery, enchanting longsword, and the surrounding space flickered in and out of existence with its terrifying, boundless power.
The moment he raised the longsword, a terrifying hum resonated from its blade.
"Come! Let me see how you intend to kill me!"
As he spoke.
Yan Huan instantly flashed, appearing before the Nanook clone.
The Nanook clone attempted to use its power to block, but found itself somehow restricted.
"Huh? Why?"
In that moment of daze.
Yan Huan's golden eyes narrowed, and the Annihilation Form of the Heavenly Fire sword cleaved down towards it!
"BOOM—!!"
Instantly, the entire expanse of space erupted like a supernova.
Flames soared into the sky, and infernos raged and swept across.
The surrounding floating meteorites turned to ash in that instant.
To the clone's shocked gaze, one of its arms was blown off, disintegrating into dust.
The entire space echoed with that terrifying, scorching light.
"What's wrong? Weren't you going to kill me? Where did your hand go?" Amidst the flames, Yan Huan attacked again, radiating killing intent, and his sword descended upon the Nanook clone's body once more.
Seeing this, the Nanook clone hastily swung its other, damaged arm to defend itself.
"BOOM—!!"
Another violent, earth-shattering roar followed, as ferocious flames engulfed everything like a black hole.
The Nanook clone couldn't understand what was happening. It couldn't comprehend why this human suddenly possessed such power.
Its eyes widened in fury.
Its damaged body plummeted towards the azure planet below.
Reflected in its eyes was the fire that covered the entire galaxy.
It found it hard to believe.
"You... why..." it choked out.
"You're quite resilient!"
The next moment, Yan Huan punched the Nanook clone square in the face.
"BANG—!!"
Its face contorted from the impact, and its entire body plummeted like a meteor.
It crashed onto the deck of a warship, kicking up a massive cloud of dust.
Within the dust.
The Nanook clone scrambled to its feet, standing on the scorched deck, facing Yan Huan in the air as if confronting a formidable enemy.
At this moment, Yan Huan's golden eyes burned fiercely, and the killing intent on his face was unconcealed and clear.
In the Nanook clone's moment of daze, Yan Huan had, at some unknown time, reappeared behind it. He pressed a hand against its head and slammed it violently towards the deck below!
"BOOM—!!"
This blow was powerful and heavy, directly smashing through the deck, its momentum undiminished.
"Bang bang bang bang bang—!!"
Its body shattered through dozens of steel plates, and the Nanook clone felt its body coming apart, experiencing intense pain.
It fell through the ceiling, crashing heavily onto the floor.
This place resembled a dormitory; on a desk in the corner, many photos were displayed.
Yan Huan's eyes flashed with madness. He grabbed the Nanook clone's hair again, lifting it like a dead dog.
He said menacingly, "You actually fell here. You're quite lucky!"
The Nanook clone remained silent. It tried to counterattack, but its body was once again slammed uncontrollably into the wall.
He smashed through another alloy steel plate, and then another.
"Bang bang bang bang bang—!!"
His body suffered a series of heavy blows again. He didn't know how many alloy steel plates he had broken through before he finally stopped.
When he opened his eyes again, his face was completely destroyed, with bare white bone clearly visible on half of it.
Yan Huan held his hair, firmly restraining him, his entire body in a state of utter disarray.
Ahead, a massive power core was slowly running, with surrounding gears spinning rapidly, seemingly powering the warship.
"Look, that's the Hyperion's power system. What do you think, aren't the gears beautiful? You try it too!"
Yan Huan suddenly grabbed the head of Nanook's avatar and pressed it towards the rapidly spinning gears!
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!!"
The fast-moving gears, like a meat grinder, madly ground and devoured half of Nanook's avatar's face, creating a shower of sparks!
The intense pain repeated itself endlessly.
At this moment.
The avatar finally couldn't bear it and shouted hoarsely at the sky:
"No... it's you, Aeon of Joy! What exactly do you want to do—!!"
