"That distorted shape... did the Black Tide bring it back to life?"
" The Core Flame has been taken away, yet it continues to move..."
"Lady Senios, is that you?" Hyacine tried to awaken the ancient will that had been swallowed by darkness.
But all that responded to her was the even more violent Destruction desire churning within two murky vertical pupils, as if her call was merely a pebble thrown into an abyss, unable to stir even the slightest ripple.
At the same time, a line of cold, ancient text appeared like a brand on the star's horizon:
" The Annihilator " -- the embodiment of the Black Tide.
" The Karmic Fruit of Sunthunder " -- Senios's Curse and Gift.
" The Eye of Dawn and Dusk " -- the manifestation and core of the authority of the heavens.
These three elements are now twisted and fused together in the most blasphemous way onto the monster before them.
"Oh no! Look around!"
On March 7th, he glanced around and shouted a warning.
At the edge of the platform, a viscous Black Tide, like a living swamp, was surging wildly from the gaps in the metal and the edges of the broken dome!
They did not attack directly, but like countless cold, slippery tentacles, they wrapped around everyone's ankles, bringing a bone-chilling cold and a heavy, sluggish feeling, making each step feel like wading through deep mud.
Enveloped in the Black Tide, Aegle's aura visibly increased!
Its split eyes, symbolizing "dawn and dusk," suddenly jerked its head back, emitting a piercing, soul-rending cry!
As the cry rang out, the Celestial Mural on the dome, depicting apocalyptic scenes, began to tremble violently.
Countless meteorites, burning with jet-black flames and as large as millstones, came crashing down with a piercing whistling sound and a trail of fire, as if hurled by an invisible giant hand.
It crashed down on the area where the star was located—the region where the Black Tide was most concentrated—like a deluge!
The objective is clear: to completely eliminate this greatest threat!
Xing was trapped in the Black Tide swamp, his movements were severely restricted, and he was about to be swallowed by the meteor shower!
"How could I... fall here!"
A sharp glint flashed in her starry eyes, and with her left hand, she tore off the hourglass pendant in front of her. The hourglass, flowing with starlight, instantly burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling brilliance!
At the same time, the pink " Remembrance " quill pen in his right hand also lit up, its tip drawing mysterious trajectories in the air!
" Remembrance " traces back its form, " Eternity " freezes its moment!
Buzz--!
An invisible yet immense ripple of spacetime suddenly spread out from the star.
Those meteorites, carrying immense force and burning with black flames, crashed into an absolutely still wall less than ten meters above her head.
The terrifying kinetic energy of the fall was instantly stripped away, the rolling black flames were frozen into a bizarre sculpture, and even the debris ejected from the meteorite's surface was suspended in mid-air.
The entire space seemed to have been paused, with only the surging Black Tide beneath the stars proving that time was still passing.
This unbelievable scene even caused the berserk Aegle to pause for a moment, a hint of astonishment and confusion that shouldn't have been there flashing in his two vertical pupils.
Its power was so easily reversed?!
Is this reasonable?!
"Now! Aim for its eye!"
Dan Heng's voice pierced the brief silence; he keenly caught Aegle's momentary lapse in concentration.
call out!
The Cloud-Piercing Spear transformed into a streak of azure lightning, piercing straight at one of the vertical pupils!
Hyacine, enduring the restraints of the Black Tide, gathered rainbow-like light in her hands. " The Black Tide is surging from those eyes!"
At this moment, everyone's goal became clear: they had to first destroy the " Eye of Dawn and Dusk " and cut off the source of Aegle's power!
However, Aegle's astonishment lasted only a second.
The will, utterly corrupted by the Black Tide, was replaced by a deeper rage. Its massive body shuddered violently within the Black Tide, and its split-open head emitted an even more piercing screech.
With that hiss, the flesh and bones of the skeletal body, covered in dark gold, swelled violently in the blasphemous black light!
Pfft--
Pfft--
Two raven-like skulls, covered in Black Tide and twisted in a grotesque manner, were forcibly torn out from its shoulder blades!
The newborn bird's head had pure black flames burning in its eyes, and its sharp beak was like a poisoned dagger.
Their targets were equally clear: one to the left and one to the right, like two deadly black lightning bolts, fiercely pecking at Xing, who had just activated his powers and whose aura had not yet calmed down.
Xing's pupils contracted sharply! The light from the hourglass and quill pen had not yet completely dimmed when she unhesitatingly put them away, and the " Preservation " Flame Spear, burning with amber flames, instantly appeared in front of her!
Clang! Clang!!!
Two deafening metallic clangs rang out almost simultaneously! The jet-black beak struck the shaft of the Flame Spear with a fierce bite, sending up blinding sparks of energy.
The immense impact caused the Black Tide beneath Xing's feet to suddenly erupt in a ring of viscous waves. She was propelled backward by this force, her feet carving two deep tracks into the metal platform!
The flames of the fire spear flickered violently, and the spear itself emitted a hum that seemed unable to bear the strain.
The attacks from the two-headed bird's beak were like a storm, with tricky and ruthless angles. Xing could only rely on the defense of the Flame Spear to barely hold on, and for a moment he was in grave danger!
"As expected! The density of the Black Tide is soaring with the activity of the ' Eye of Dawn and Dusk '!"
As Dan Heng struggled to sever the Black Tide tentacles binding his ankles, he shouted to the crowd, "The ' Eye of Dawn and Dusk ' is not only the core, but also the summoning node of the Black Tide!"
Hyacine continuously unleashed rainbow-colored light bubbles that dealt tangible damage, cutting through the surging Black Tide, her expression grave.
"We must find a way to destroy it, otherwise we will be completely exhausted by this endless Black Tide!" March 7th tried to freeze the flowing Black Tide with an ice spear.
As if to confirm their judgment, or as if they were thoroughly enraged by the presumptuous remarks of ants.
The " Eye of Dawn and Dusk," which hovered above Aegle's body and had split pupils, suddenly erupted with an unprecedented scarlet light.
Deep within those pupils, the energy core, swirling like a nebula, accelerated wildly!
Buzz--!!!
An indescribable wave of terror instantly swept across the entire shattered dome space!
In an instant, the Celestial Mural depicting the apocalypse melted away!
Instead, there were countless densely packed, layered domes covering the entire field of vision—huge, cold, lifeless blood-red vertical pupils!
Each vertical pupil, like a degraded replica of the " Eye of Dawn and Dusk," exudes pure malice.
They are like billions of malignant tumors embedded in a rotting sky, all opening up at once!
The next second, billions of tiny points of light, each containing immense Destruction energy, poured down silently from these billions of corrupting eyes like an inverted downpour!
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a deathly silence, and the rain of death that annihilated everything!
"Hey... is this guy a 'Sky' Titan or a 'Death' Titan?!" March 7th couldn't help but complain.
The Titan "Death," who had been to the Underworld, spoke up, " Polyxena isn't as disgusting as it."
