Cracks spread across the giant eye of destruction like a spiderweb, the rage within almost materializing. The entire dark red ocean of energy ceased its boiling, falling into an eerie stillness, like the calm before a storm. All the energy was contracting and condensing inward, and an aura far more terrifying and despairing than before was awakening from the deepest part of this lair.
Allen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his Chaos eyes showing no sign of relaxation. He clearly sensed that although the " Creation of Heaven and Earth " had injured the manifestation of the opponent's will, it had not touched the true core. This ocean of energy was merely an external extension of that Destruction Origin, like the hairs on a human body.
We must find its "heart"!
He no longer paid attention to the changes in external energy, and focused all his attention on his perception of space and time. The Power of Zhulong was like the finest probe, spreading from him into the endless dark red depths. Time slowed down in his perception, and the layers of space peeled away before his eyes.
Countless chaotic and malicious streams of information attempted to interfere with him, and whispers of destruction filled his ears like demonic chants. But Allen's will remained steadfast, like a time-space foundation forged through countless trials. His perception pierced through layer after layer of energy barriers, traversing bizarre regions distorted by the laws of destruction.
Sudden!
The instant his perception reached a critical point, an indescribable, pure, and ultimate sense of "ending" pierced his soul like a cold, sharp thorn!
Found it!
Deep within that crimson expanse, suspended in the air, floats a colossal core, pulsating like black crystal! It is not a physical entity, but rather formed from the most primordial laws of destruction. The aura emanating from it sent a chill down Allen's spine. Countless streams of crimson energy, like veins, emanate from the core, connecting the entire lair. This is the source of all destruction and pollution, the true form of that world-destroying behemoth—the [ Heart of Destruction ]!
Almost at the same time that Allen discovered it, the [ Heart of Destruction ] also fully awakened!
There were no more roars, no more manifested giant eyes. All the energy and will of the entire nest surged wildly toward the black core like rivers flowing into the sea! The core's pulsation became like the beating of a drum, each beat causing the entire space to tremble and emitting waves that could Return of All Things to the Void!
It abandoned all fancy attacks, gathered all its power into its core, and prepared to use the purest and most extreme Destruction Origin to completely erase this spacetime controller who dared to trespass into its holy land, along with the spacetime he was in!
An irresistible suction force emanated from the [ Heart of Destruction ], no longer a physical attraction, but a "traction" at the level of laws! Allen felt his control over spacetime being forcibly stripped away, and the edges of the silver-purple domain he had created began to blur and collapse! Even his own existence seemed to be pulled towards that core that represented the ultimate end!
At the same time, a soft "click" sound came from behind!
The spacetime crystal protecting Sanji cracked under the sudden increase in pressure from the laws! Law's ROOM aura flickered violently, threatening to dissipate completely!
Sanji's life force, like a candle flickering in the wind, rapidly weakened!
Beset by internal and external troubles, on the brink of life and death!
"There's no time..." A resolute glint flashed in Allen's eyes. He couldn't possibly maintain the domain, protect Sanji, and launch an attack powerful enough to destroy the core all at the same time while [ Heart of Destruction ] was unleashed at full power.
A choice must be made!
He turned around abruptly, glanced at his dying friend, his eyes filled with guilt and reluctance, but even more so with an unwavering determination.
The next moment, Allen made a surprising move!
Instead of retreating, he deliberately dissipated most of his defenses! He frantically compressed and condensed the remaining Power of Zhulong, no longer using it to maintain his domain or protect himself, but instead pouring it all into his hands!
"In my name, time and space... resonate!"
He abandoned defense, abandoned evasion, and transformed all his strength, all his will, and even his own concept of "existence" into fuel for the final blow!
His body began to become somewhat ethereal, as if he were about to be erased from this space-time. But the light gathering between his hands grew increasingly dazzling, no longer a simple silver-purple, but a " Chaos color" that encompassed and evolved all things!
[ Heart of Destruction ] seemed to sense Allen's suicidal move, and its pulsation reached its peak! A thin yet extremely condensed black line shot out from its core, silently, leaving an eternal scar on even "existence" itself wherever it passed! This was the ultimate blow of the Destruction Origin— [ Scar of the End ]!
Faced with this unavoidable and unstoppable ultimate destruction, Allen revealed a relieved and calm smile.
"It's over."
He slowly pushed out the ball of Chaos light in his hand, as if it were supporting the weight of the entire world.
" The Torch Dragon's End Ritual: Spacetime... The Big Bang of the Singularity!"
The moment the Chaos Light left his hand, Allen's body became completely transparent, as if he were about to vanish. The light, however, seemed to possess a life of its own, neither dodging nor avoiding, but directly confronting the [ Scar of the End ].
There was no earth-shattering collision.
The moment the light of Chaos touched the [ Scar of the End ], time seemed to stretch to eternity.
Immediately afterwards--
A point of ultimate "nothingness" is born from the point of contact.
Immediately, that point of "nothingness" suddenly expanded and exploded!
It wasn't an energy explosion, but... an explosion of concepts! It was the ultimate collision of the two supreme laws: "Spacetime" and "destruction"!
Birth and end, light and darkness, past and future... all opposing concepts were forcibly crushed and reassembled at this moment! A miniature, fleeting "multiverse" scene flashed by at that point of explosion!
Silent ripples spread out.
Allen's almost transparent figure was swept by the ripples, shattering like a broken mirror image, eventually turning into specks of light and dissipating into this destroyed nest.
Behind him, the Time Crystal and ROOM Aura protecting Sanji shattered and vanished the instant the ripples swept across.
Sanji's figure was completely exposed to the aftershocks of this clash of laws, falling into the endless dark red below.
The destroyed nest fell into a deathly silence.
Only the [ Heart of Destruction ] still beats slowly, but it is now covered with dense, porcelain-like cracks.
