It was as if a genuine condensation of death was flying over his head.
Wherever it passed, an endless gravitational force ravaged everything. Cracks appeared on the steel ground, and the disc-shaped sun chariot also started to tilt and bend. Even though it was over a thousand meters away, it was still unable to withstand this rolling formless pearl.
Even the slightest shockwave had lifted the entire Twilight Village by several meters, almost pulling it out of the surface …
If it hit, he and the projection of the entire Twilight Village — no, at least one-third of Helios would be completely engulfed and melted in that radiance.
So, Garland had been cooped up in the base for so long just to build a nuclear weapon?
No. Even if its destructive power was almost the same as a nuclear weapon, it was completely different. It was fundamentally different in nature and essence. In such a short period of time, using the mystic instrument to trace back to the unique environment of Helios, the authority of the second Danu Divine King, Luge, was quickly restored.
Divinity was injected, and through the conversion of calamity and miracle, the illusory starlight was given substance. Gathering the power from hell's projection, it finally formed a genuine 'super-dense body' from the Present Realm!
It was something that could no longer be described as material. The terrifying density that surpassed a neutron star had exceeded the Present Realm's bearing limit, and was hovering on the brink of collapse.
The slightest touch would trigger a terrible change that would shatter heaven and earth …
Just like now.
In an instant, the luminous bullet that devoured all radiance crossed the two ends of Helios and descended from the sky!
Hercules's interception and Pubrus's defense were all pierced like phantoms, and finally, the two came into contact for an instant.
It broke its' fragile 'shell.
As a result, the destruction contained within flowed out.
After devouring all light, what surged out was a darkness that surpassed the universe's primordial darkness.
Huai Shi wanted to cover his ears, but the senses from Supreme kept transmitting the terrible tremors from the distance, causing streaks of blood to seep out of his mouth and nose.
His ears were ringing …
Anyone with a little bit of education in physics, even a child, could understand what kind of terrifying phenomenon would occur when the mass and density of an object broke through the limit, to the point where even the gravitational force of a neutron star could not restrain it.
The existence known as the Black Hole had descended in an instant!
Did such a thing really exist?
Could such a phenomenon really be maintained?
Could such a level of power really be controlled?
At this moment, such a question no longer had any meaning.
Huai Shi could only see that the darkness had swallowed all the light and turned into a vortex of destruction. It quickly, coldly, and cruelly swallowed the tower where Pubrus was!
Equality destroyed all miracles and disasters.
Before that … Hades's bone pagoda had already been destroyed like an illusion.
Huai Shi was stunned for a moment and realized that something was wrong.
Hades's bone pagoda disappeared?
No, he didn't hear any sounds of collapse at all. It was as if it was just a bubble … It should be said that it was an illusion that was enough to pass off as real!
But Helios was only so big, so where was Hades's pagoda?
In an instant, the answer appeared in his mind, but he couldn't help but be terrified.
Ignoring the burning of the cosmic rays in his eyes, he looked straight at the location of the Black Hole. At the top of the pagoda, at the edge of the critical distance, a thin figure seemed to have appeared.
He was smiling coldly in Garland's direction.
Hades!
Just like that, the chief disciple of Helios opened his arms and embraced destruction in place of Pubrus!
Gala's loud laughter could be heard in the wind.
.
.
This was the conversation between the chief disciple of Helios and the wearer of the Hell's Crown in Hades' temple before the final battle began.
"What do you mean?" Gala looked coldly at his summoner.
"Whatever you like, that's all."
Hades replied calmly. "I don't care how great the battle results you can create, nor do I need you to eliminate any enemies for me, nor do I expect you to bring me any returns … Gala, no matter what request you have, as long as it is within my power, I will provide it for you.
As for you, you just need to do what you like. "
After a short silence, Gala raised his eyes and understood. "In other words, you want me to be the bait?"
"It doesn't matter if you want to understand it that way."
Hades asked, "Will you refuse, Gala?"
"Of course not!"
Gala grinned and couldn't help but laugh. "There are employers who don't expect victory, and there are fools who don't expect anything in return after paying money … Why would I refuse such a good thing?!"
"Very good."
Hades nodded and sincerely blessed him. "Then go ahead and fight your war as you wish. I hope you can reap joy in this battle."
"What about you, Hades?"
Gala didn't leave. He still stood in the same place and looked at his summoner. "You even gave up victory. What do you want to get?"
"You are mistaken about one thing, Gala."
Hades shook his head. "Some people have no chance of winning from the beginning … Why would I give up? What I can do is actually no different from what you can do.
But the difference is that regardless of victory or defeat, the results will not belong to me. "
"Then what are you looking for, Your Excellency Jester?"
Gala asked curiously. "I have seen too many people like you in the Abyss, but you are completely different from your colleagues … What are you looking for?
The success of the conspiracy? The realization of revenge? Or the death of the enemy?
After you give up all these, what can you get? "
"Yes, what can I get?"
He Di laughed mockingly, as if she was thinking, "From the very beginning, people like me were destined to not be able to obtain anything, so I actually never thought of such a problem.
Gala, if you ask me what I want, then I can only answer you like this. "
The alchemist, who had already been aware of his fate and ending, laughed.
"— Probably, it is a 'result'."
A result that was destined before birth.
.
What came before the 'result' was death.
When the light dissipated, the skeletal tower below revealed its true appearance.
The world was always so strange. Once a coat of light was put on, few people would suspect that there was anything under the light.
Now, the disguise was unveiled, and the time for destruction had come.
Under the terrible destructive power of Luger's Chain, all of Hades's defenses were ineffective, and he was naturally sucked into the rapidly shrinking black hole without any resistance.
Along with the rapidly annihilating super-dense substance, his soul and body were completely and irretrievably reduced to ashes.
"This is really … terrible."
In the Eternal Frost Furnace, Huai Shi did not feel happy at all. Instead, a strong sense of vigilance and uneasiness rose.
From the beginning, Publius's position was a scam!
He did not personally host the Mystic Instrument of Creation, and the one who carried it out in his place was Hades! Otherwise, the Mystic Instrument of Creation would have been completed long ago … No, who knew what Garland would do to interfere?
When the omnipotent grandmasters fought each other, they had to be prepared for each other's countermeasures before making a decision.
Like a Matryoshka doll, they had to be constantly on guard.
So-called miracles were things that exceeded common sense.
Who knew what other tricks a grandmaster had up his sleeves?
Publius's weakness was that he had to be exposed to the sun to maintain the operation of the Mystic Instrument. But if someone was willing to make the sacrifice, everything would naturally be different.
But if Hades disguised himself as Publius and attracted Garland's attack in his place …
Then, where did Publius go?
Huai Shi ignored the burning pain in his eyeballs and widened his eyes to look into the distance. But all he could see was a shattered land riddled with holes. It was a scene of desolation.
Deep fissures had appeared on the ground, leaving behind tragic traces that had almost chiseled through Helios.
The Tower of Light had long since disappeared.
But why …
Were there still shadows left on the spot?
A chill crept up the back of Huai Shi's head.
The moment the Tower of Light disappeared, the shattered shadow of the tower on the ground that was full of fissures actually dared to bulge as if it had substance. It pulled countless shadows, gathered and weaved, and grew rapidly.
On top of the pure black, lightless tower, surrounded by countless complex arrays, the alchemist named Publius raised his eyes and looked in this direction indifferently.
He raised his palm and pointed at the final calamity!
The Village of Dusk!
At the top of the shadow tower, the sun that had already descended to the mortal world released rays as bright and scorching as the real sun.
That was a temperature that could only be named after a 'star.'
Even though there was still a long way to go before he reached the position of a god, the current Publius was undoubtedly the closest person in the world to becoming a god.
At this moment, above Helios, the illusory sun had broken free from the control of the three great seals. It was no longer the outflow of the Spirit Essence Pillar, but had become a genuine amalgamation of 'heat energy.'
As the sun, it had to release light!
Now, a terrifying stream of light that was enough to burn away life, melt steel, and evaporate dust had arrived!
More than half of Helios was burned red by the pure heat. Wherever the hot stream passed, the cracked ground melted again and quickly evaporated, forming deep fissures.
At the speed of light, the heat rushed toward Garland!
Garland gripped his cane tightly, and a huge array appeared. He used all his strength to prop up a temporary barrier in front of the Village of Dusk.
But an endless stream of high temperature still leaked out from behind the barrier, burning more than half of the city red.
After exhausting all his means and releasing Luger's Chain, Garland still maintained the ability to protect himself and even kept the means to counterattack —
But the moment he made a response, a sharp blade appeared in front of his chest.
The curse from the dead had finally arrived.
"Hades?"
Garland was stunned on the spot. After a long time, he coughed and spat out boiling blood.
Behind him, a fleeting afterimage slowly appeared.
He raised his head.
A face that was so familiar to him was revealed.
This was the last counterattack he made against the unreachable Grand Master as the former chief of Helios, the Jester of the Abyss blessed by the Pied Piper!
With his own death as the price, he offered everything to the Abyss as a sacrifice.
Just like that, Kieran broke through Garland's defense and delivered the final 'gift' to him when Garland was most distracted.
Now, the packaging of the gift box was torn open.
Hades walked out of it again.
It was intact.
However, it was completely different from the past …
Behind him, countless phantoms appeared — including the former Chief, all the alchemists who had died on Helios, and naturally, himself.
In an instant, Garland understood.
"You've actually … transformed yourself into a pseudo-Soul Soul?"
"Yes, artificially made defective alchemists transformed him into an artificial soul and finally resurrected him in the form of an artificial human. Isn't it appropriate?"
The copy named "Hades" raised his head and smiled.
After many years, he finally saw this old friend who had been with him for many years and solemnly greeted him.
"Long time no see."
He said, "My 'brother'."
