Chapter 693 Who are the True Twilight Kin?

The Blade of Annihilation's cosmos radiated scarlet-gold streamers, countless scattered spiritual energy fires transformed into a sky full of fire rain, rotating around the blade's center, forming a vast spherical flame space.

This blaze was the radiance of the heart, the flame of the soul, the light of vows, and even more so, the karmic fire condensed from the curses of enemies. It constantly revolved, gathered, and finally, in the hands of the Death Star Giant God, condensed into a fiery blade so long it nearly pierced the heavens.

Shao Shuangyue, along with everyone else, simultaneously made a grasping gesture. Each person felt as if they were holding the hilt of a divine blade, sensing the powerful force contained within the Blade of Annihilation.

Since Shao Shuangyue's soul and will were insufficient to unleash the power of the Blade of Annihilation, then let everyone in the Death Star do it together.

If the crew members in the entire Death Star were not enough, then add the Huo Xi people in the electronic underworld within the personal space.

Even if the 6.5 billion Huo Xi people combined were still no match for Su Zhou's own soul, then add the gazes of the enemy!

Let the enemy's oppression spur the awakening of this Dao Soldier of Su Zhou, causing the inheritance and power contained within it to sublimate to the extreme, unleashing power comparable to Su Zhou's own full-force strike!

"This, this is an antimatter acceleration engine, and a very highly completed one at that!"

Sensing the information transmitted back from the Blade of Annihilation in her hand with an expression of surprise, Shao Shuangyue quickly understood the essence of the divine weapon in her hand.

——Using the Blade of Annihilation as the core, creating an antimatter engine, making a spiritual energy heat blade, which also has a 'wind and thunder chainsaw blade' formed by the intersection of Lan Seed and divine lightning, directly performing a high-frequency oscillation and electromagnetic force dissociation on any solid matter…

In other words, it was an antimatter thermal chainsaw blade of the high-level Heavenly Immortal grade!

This slash would naturally cut through anything. If it were long enough, it could even cleave a planet!

All thoughts occurred in an instant.

The Annihilation Bringers of the Void Cult were closing in, they were warping from beyond the wormhole. They could not be allowed to truly launch a four-on-one siege.

Moreover, the Flaying Star Blade still had the weakness of only being able to cleave large, fixed targets that cannot move. By the time they all came out of the wormhole, even if Su Zhou himself were present, he would not be able to hit them.

Thus, without hesitation.

"Blade of Annihilation Star Cleaver!"

Everyone, including Shao Shuangyue, under the influence of the divine blade's power, instinctual guidance, and their own will, tightly grasped the hilt, and then simultaneously slashed out towards the vacuum of space!

At this moment, as the Giant God raised the bright and dazzling blade in its hand, which had already extended to an immeasurable distance, the searing storm that destroyed everything spread out in all directions like ripples centered on it. The numerous spiritual energy ring derivatives surrounding the End-Ten had just recovered a bit, but they were collapsing layer by layer under the breath of this storm, just like hard ice under the blazing sun.

The End-Ten sensed this attack. In the distant past, He had seen more terrifying, more powerful, and more unstoppable attacks than this. He had once induced stellar explosions, guiding the torrents of supernovae to engulf civilizations.

But even He opened His eyes and stared.

——Not a bad strike.

But it was merely not bad.

The spirit god, larger than the moon, suddenly became agile. The discrete spiritual energy structure contracted as if a spring was being compressed. In an instant, the bizarre End God contracted to one ten-thousandth of its original size.

Then, He unleashed His power, and spiritual energy stirred up tidal waves in the vacuum.

Shao Shuangyue, gripping the Blade of Annihilation, widened her eyes in surprise.

The maiden, who had never witnessed a battle between Immortals and Gods, could not imagine that 'becoming large to stir clouds and mist, becoming small to hide the form, flying in the universe when alive, and lurking within the waves when hidden' could actually be displayed in such a practical sense before her eyes.

She could see the faint purple fire suddenly burning in one of the End-Ten's eye sockets. The power of [Fusion] was being applied to Himself. The spirit god stretched out His hand, which was made up of thousands of single arms entangled together. Scattered heavy particle radiation gathered around Him as if they were tangible, and finally condensed into a spear tip at the end of His arm.

A fiery storm no less intense than that of the Blade of Annihilation erupted from His body, rushing towards them.

The heavy particles accelerated to near light speed would undergo nuclear fusion at the very front due to light pressure. This was the most formless yet sharpest blade. These blades, capable of tearing everything apart, were lighter and faster than all things. No matter how sturdy the armor, it could be easily cut open by them. The End-Ten raised His arm, transforming it into a spear, and pointed it at the Death Star Giant God. The light blade storm completely engulfed everything in front of it.

Even a planet would have an entire chunk of its volume stripped away by this attack, collapsing into the primordial nebula under extreme heat and impact.

The giant god, tightly gripping the Blade of Annihilation, suddenly seemed so small in the cosmic space. In an instant, it was swallowed by the attack that was originally meant for planets, even stars. Countless torrents of light pierced through the armor, but the expected scene of the giant god being torn apart and exploding into cosmic fireworks did not occur.

On the contrary, this giant god slowly dissipated, collapsing into pure spiritual essence. This scene stunned the End-Ten for a moment. He did not understand why His preemptive strike had not been effective, and why the Death Star Giant God had become such a phantom-like spiritual entity.

The answer was simple: It was a Mind-Light Body.

At the moment of grasping the Blade of Annihilation, the Death Star Giant God was replaced into the personal space. Floating in place was the Mind-Light Body created by the Blade of Annihilation.

This was precisely the profound mystery that Su Zhou had previously taught to the Blade Spirit of Annihilation and the Wisdom Tree.

When a soul body looks like a solid, feels like a solid when struck, feels like a solid when touched, and can also exert the power of a solid, then it is a solid.

In the Aeon World, the Mind-Light Body could originally help its controller fight. This battle method, different from a Dharmakaya but with the same effect through different means, would indeed be extremely astonishing when it was first displayed.

[Good chance, Shuangyue!]

"Got it!"

At the instant when the false Mind-Light Body was defeated, because it had lost the coordinates of the physical universe, the true body of the Death Star Giant God reappeared in the already boiling cosmic space. And the maiden, hearing the call of the Torch Dragon Body, seized this moment of the End-Ten's confusion and swung the Blade of Annihilation.

This slash was not swung by her alone, but by hundreds of millions of people together.

It was just an instant, too fast even to blink.

The scarlet-gold light stream suddenly surged, forming a torrent capable of sweeping through the End-Ten and the other three wormholes.

Then, the torrent slashed horizontally, inducing vacuum explosions again and again in the turbulent humming sound, and the dark cosmic space surged back and forth like a tide, stirring heart-palpitating energy.

"Blade of Annihilation Star Cleaver!"

Along with the maiden's loud shout, and the overloaded output that shattered half of the display screen in the cockpit, all that Shao Shuangyue could see was a scarlet-gold. The Blade of Annihilation Star Cleaver cut the End-Ten in half the moment it struck it, and after that, whether it was the spiritual energy light rings, cosmic dust, or nebula matter, all were swallowed by the light, annihilated in the pure brilliance of matter and antimatter annihilating each other.

On the spot, two of the three wormholes were destroyed, and the remaining one had fallen into an extremely unstable state, and it was impossible to come over safely even if it was forcibly crossed.

[————]

The severed End-Ten seemed to still be roaring. His lower body had begun to disintegrate, turning into light particles in cosmic space.

If it were just a pure energy stream, even antimatter could not have broken His spiritual energy structure to this extent, but Su Zhou's karmic fire had long since reached its limit. This blaze, which had burned the curses of countless worlds, was probably the greatest tribulation second only to the Avici Hell, even in Hell.

No spirit body could resist this kind of attack, especially since the End-Ten carried the hatred of destroying countless civilizations.

The spirit god was furious. Obviously, He had indeed made a wrong move, but it was not without the ability to fight back. Two faces of the ten-faced god lit up at the same time, with azure and pure gold brilliance shining simultaneously.

With His realm not yet fully recovered, it was already the limit to simultaneously urge the power of two great inheritances, let alone that He had now been severely damaged, far from being the Annihilation Bringer who used to unleash all ten authorities.

But if it was just a matter of perishing together if He couldn't win, any Twilight Kin was very good at it, skilled and without psychological burden.

In an instant, the terrifying powers of [Decay] and [Warp] began to condense. The strong and weak nuclear forces that constituted all things began to collapse, and electrons began to collapse and dissociate under the direct infusion of strong energy, deviating from their original trajectories. Any substance, even atomic nuclei, could not escape the void force that was spreading from the End-Ten's body.

This was precisely the power He once used to induce stellar collapse, called the End, to destroy one star field after another. Even if He could not exert His full strength now, He could at least destroy the enemies in front of Him.

But, just as the End-Ten's two pairs of eyes were about to open, a voice that seemed to originate from the distant other side entered the heart of this Twilight Kin.

The god was stunned.

[Why not wait?]

This voice was extremely vague. It had transmitted over too great a distance in the void, and it had become distorted because it had penetrated the world barrier. Even with His own body and Dao Soldiers as guides, it was impossible to understand it clearly.

But, compared to this sentence, what truly stunned the god was the aura contained in this voice.

In the dark, it seemed as if dim light was rising from an empty, nihilistic void, embracing Him.

[Why not wait?]

[Why be persistent?]

This aura was so familiar, so gentle, that all ten faces of the End-Ten opened their eyes, seeming to be searching for the location of this aura.

[…………]

But in the end, there was only silence, gentle silence, and emptiness like an embrace.

The ten-faced god was stunned for a moment.

And that moment was eternity.

[Child of Twilight, Kin of the Void, you should slumber in the void, not walk in the mortal world of the obsessives]

A sighing voice came from afar, bringing endless weariness into the heart of the End-Ten.

But surprisingly, He did not resist.

The hideous and bizarre Annihilation Bringer, representing the End, felt ultimate peace and tranquility in that moment.

——Everything that had happened to this race was wrong.

Whether it was choosing to abandon the influence of the physical body and use pure spiritual energy as the foundation of civilization and race.

Or choosing to blindly pursue the power of Oneness, without integrating the entire race before that.

Or the fact that they were induced by the Void Cult and finally fell, transforming into the prototype of the Annihilation Bringer.

Everything, everything was wrong, was void, was meaningless.

But emptiness… was also correct.

Everything in the multiverse, even if it was meaningless, was part of the correct.

From existence to nothingness, this 'everything' that encompassed everything, all had a final answer.

And even if it was wrong, as long as they waited, they could wait for the emergence of this final answer.

And then… even if it was wrong, even if it was nothingness…

As long as they waited…

Twilight-colored light shone.

The spirit god, who was originally releasing destructive destructive waves, gradually quieted down. Under the incredible gaze of Shao Shuangyue, Jiu Ming, and Tang Yuan, the Twilight Kin, only one step away from self-destruction, began to wriggle, deform, and finally slowly degenerated into a white spiritual energy cocoon, suspended in cosmic space, releasing a twilight-colored light.

"What happened?"

Although she said so, Shao Shuangyue quickly guessed the answer when she noticed that the eyes of the Death Star Giant God seemed to move uncontrollably: "It's Zhou-ge...he did something..."

In fact, Su Zhou did nothing.

He just showed the Twilight Kin the light of Twilight.

Showed Him everything that He was supposed to, should have known.

And at the same time as the End-Ten's remaining body self-sealed, transforming into a spirit cocoon.

The Death Star Giant God slightly raised his head, and looked at the last wormhole, still barely maintaining its structure, that had not been smashed by the Blade of Annihilation Star Cleaver.

Beyond the wormhole.

Before the Abyss Overfiend entered the wormhole, He sensed the divine blade's strike that had crossed the endless cosmic space.

This disaster aggregate, which was not a member of the Void Cult, but was cooperating with them to plunder and devour other civilizations, was immediately shocked and retreated, avoiding the Blade of Annihilation's slash.

The wormhole was slowly collapsing, but this did not make the Overfiend's will retreat. The powerful will that controlled the entire fragment of the subspace to travel in the material universe could completely reopen the wormhole if it wanted to.

The abyss god who could freely reverse the phase of the subspace and the material universe in the past, with time and space as its body, had this kind of power.

But, just as the Overfiend's will really intended to take action, refix the wormhole, and then traverse through it to 'seal' that earthling who supposedly held the third fragment of the universe, the Star of the Galaxy.

He found that a pair of eyes were staring at Him from across the wormhole.

The cosmic space around the fragment of the subspace was bright and dazzling. The Overfiend's will was located in the shining area in the center of the Milky Way, accumulating the energy needed for subspace conversion here. On this black fragment of time and space, there was a scarlet, blood-like light spreading along the engraved runes, revealing extremely profound secrets.

But the Overfiend's will stagnated in place, because the eyes that met His gaze, although their brilliance was dim, were filled with everything in His heart.

When the dim twilight light appeared along with the wormhole, this demon god, who had existed for a long time, seemed to see such a spectacle—at the final moment when the multiverse was about to fall into complete darkness, there was a glimmer of light that always refused to dim. This dark light was not a flag or a beacon, nor was it a guide or a wish.

It was just a kind of watching, a kind of agreement.

A kind of unbelievable 'belief'.

Everything had no purpose, and the universe itself was not a perfect creation. There were always novas exploding in the Milky Way, and civilizations that embarked on the right path, or strayed into the wrong path, perished due to natural disasters.

This destruction had nothing to do with whether they were correct, whether they were good, or whether they were evil. They existed, simply existed, and perished, simply perished.

But there was a will that admitted that this void was indeed correct, because only the things that were born from this void could give birth to 'wisdom' and 'eternity' that surpassed the universe and were more sublime than everything.

[The Void Cult is wrong]

The Overfiend's will heard such a voice, as if someone was standing above the sea of stars, this figure was like the incarnation of dawn, with countless stars forming the body, He indifferently overlooked Him.

[Because twilight is the last watch and agreement in suffering, so you brew suffering, subvert the universe, and crave the emergence of twilight light from the void... This clumsy act of bringing down a world-destroying rainstorm in order to see a rainbow is the vanity of the void, the mistake of mistakes]

He clenched his fist.

After a moment, a light like daylight lit up—this light was still very far away, as if it was still in the void outside the universe, but He had already lit up, just like the dawn after a long night.

The monster saw, there was a purple-azure spiritual light flowing in the void outside the universe, but the scarlet-gold blade seemed to already be on His neck, and the terrifying divine blade, capable of melting everything, was extending lines of mystery in the vacuum.

The Death Star Giant God stretched out His hand, seemingly about to grab towards the other side of the wormhole.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Overfiend's will unleashed a strike at the fastest speed, directly closing the wormhole on His side.

The twisted time and space calmed down.

Afterwards, after confirming that the wormhole was indeed closed, the Overfiend's will exhaled, causing the entire fragment of the subspace to tremble slightly.

After a while, a transmission sounded.

[Overfiend...]

The voice at the other end of the transmission was faint, but it contained a hint of confusion: [I know very well that the wormholes of the Lord of Empty Prison and the Wraith were destroyed, but why did you actively close the wormhole?]

[You and the End, joining forces, are enough to easily suppress that Torch Dragon]

This question did not contain malice, but the Void Cult did not need malice to destroy whoever they wanted—it was a matter of course, and the monsters who had cooperated with them for a long time knew this.

To this, the Overfiend's will was silent for a long time.

Afterwards, there was a confused voice, as if composed of billions upon billions of overlapping voices, echoing in the stars: [Void Cult Leader...I can answer your question]

[But before that, I have a question that I want to ask you]

[A matter of course] The voice from the other side of time and space seemed to nod slightly: [Please ask]

[…Between you and the Torch Dragon, which side is the real Twilight Kin?]

Happy New Year, I touched it a bit, 5000 today!
