How could that be...?
Phainon's voice was dry and hoarse, filled with unbelievable horror and a kind of awe that came from the depths of his soul.
For the first time, his hands trembled uncontrollably. The face before him—was it him, or not?
Could it be another version of myself heading towards utter Destruction?!
Just as Phainon's mind trembled violently and his power momentarily faltered...
The body of the 'firewood' pierced through the chest, the mouth on the disintegrated face like an abyss, slowly opened and closed.
The cold, deathly voice, as if emanating from the depths of burning ashes, was directly imprinted into their consciousness:
" The Destruction sun, now in pairs..."
The voice seemed to carry endless mockery and pity, pointing at Phainon, and also at the Vortex of Genesis behind him.
"... Let it ignite your blood... your anger..."
The instant his words fell
boom
A power of annihilation, more violent, more desperate, and more pure than ever before, erupted from the Flame Reaver's seemingly pierced chest wound like a volcano suppressed for billions of years.
Thick as a substance, pitch black as eternity, and exuding the aura of burning away all existence in the world, the final black flames rushed towards us.
The black flames did not spread outwards, but rather seemed to be alive, their target being Xing and Phainon.
Faced with this ultimate black flame, Xing's mimicry baseball bat dimmed rapidly as if it had encountered its nemesis, and the bat emitted a mournful cry of unbearable strain.
"What?!"
Xing stared in disbelief at the mimicry baseball bat. Before she could react, a terrifying impact slammed into the two who had lost their composure.
"Ugh~"
Xing felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer. He let out a muffled groan as he was violently thrown backward by the overwhelming force!
Although she was caught off guard, her reaction was incredibly fast!
" Eternity Wings of Preservation " spread out fiercely, its mimicry baseball bat held horizontally in front of it, forcefully stopping its own body from flying backward.
The immense impact sent her and Phainon sliding backward, leaving deep furrows in the Creation energy platform beneath their feet.
The two barely managed to steady themselves and looked up, the sight before them leaving them utterly shocked.
The Flame Reaver hovered in the raging energy flow at the center of the Vortex of Genesis. The wound that had pierced his chest had vanished as if it had never existed, leaving only a charred hole in his tattered black robe.
His completely shattered, gargoyle-like face was fully exposed to the shifting light and shadow at the Vortex of Genesis, appearing both ferocious and tragic.
The shadowy straight sword in his hand had already shattered and disappeared in the previous battle.
At that moment, he slowly raised his empty hand, which was also covered in cracks and shadows.
Buzz--!
Endless black flames of the end, like rivers flowing into the sea, frantically converged from the edge of the shattered Creation platform, from the contaminated corner of the Vortex of Genesis, and even from the void, into his raised palm!
What was condensed and compressed in the palm was no longer the shape of a sword.
Instead, it was a constantly collapsing, rotating mass, emitting a black flame core that made even the Vortex of Genesis tremble and wail.
Thanks to the chuunibyou (delusional) behavior of a certain elven Saintess, he was able to come up with such a move.
That core light is deeper than eternal night, purer than despair.
The mere existence itself seems to drag the surrounding space, time, and even the concept of 'existence' into Eternity!
Indeed, what Xing and Phainon are showing now is the other side of " Eternity ".
Putting aside Phainon, he wanted to see if Xing's attitude towards " Eternity " would change after witnessing Eternity brutal and dark side.
The Flame Reaver's empty eye sockets locked onto Phainon, who had just regained his footing and was breathing erratically, and Xing, whose mouth was bleeding but whose eyes were incredibly determined.
The collapsing End Core in the Flame Reaver's palm silently testifies to ultimate " Destruction."
Under this ultimate threat, the energy flow at the Vortex of Genesis emitted a shriek like the end of the world.
"I offer my body to the fire... to burn on...!"
The Flame Reaver was the first to strike, muttering to himself as he did so:
"Only one person can witness the miracle... it is fate..."
The sword's edge pointed directly at Phainon, "This person... must be you..."
However, something completely unexpected happened!
Suddenly, golden flames silently began to burn from the pierced wounds on the Flame Reaver's tattered black robe.
The flames spread rapidly, engulfing the fabric that symbolized death and " Destruction ".
The Flame Reaver's body, like a specimen nailed to the void, slowly ceased all movement.
Xing was confused by this sudden turn of events. Was the Flame Reaver just having a brief moment of lucidity before death?!
The surging shadows solidified and dimmed completely.
In the end, only the black-robed shell, enveloped in golden flames, remained, gradually disintegrating.
Xing stood to the side, the light from the mimicry baseball bat shimmering slightly.
She watched as the Flame Reaver gradually turned to ashes in the golden flames, then looked at the Phainon bathed in gold, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Why not... let anger... incinerate fate...?
Warm light swept over Phainon and Xing, Flame Reaver slowly uttered that name:
"Ka... Ers..."
Meanwhile, the " Eternity " stands
Seeing the Flame Reaver suddenly soften, Silver Wolf's Lil' Twist Bubble Gum burst once again.
Clearly, she shared Xing's thoughts. "What the heck... he's already logged off? That's way too hasty!"
The final battle she was looking forward to—even the novel didn't have such an outrageous plot!
Silver Wolf glanced at Ye Yan, who was leisurely sipping milk tea beside him, and desperately needed an explanation:
"So... I made my move..."
Silver Wolf:?
Ye Yan's lips curled up slightly. His original intention was to hone Xing and Phainon's fighting will and let them deeply experience what " Eternity " endurance truly meant.
The Flame Reaver, played by Blake, can be resurrected indefinitely as long as he is in the Vortex of Genesis, unless Starstruck uses the hourglass necklace to completely seal his movements.
That was Ye Yan's original intention, but now...
Why did the Flame Reaver was originally putting up a desperate counterattack, suddenly give up? It's obviously the work of some God of Elation.
This guy just wants to push through the main storyline quickly and see the " Eternity " and " Destruction " factions clash in a massive battle.
