Chapter 328 The Curtain Falls (The End)

"This is what he meant by a devastating blow," Dr. Li muttered to himself, his throat dry as he looked up.

He wasn't kidding.

Bai was really not joking.

This attack was unstoppable.

The divine weapon high in the sky, overlooking all living beings, suddenly moved. Its head rotated in an absolutely smooth motion, the metal joints operated silently, and its huge electronic eyes swept across the ground, finally locking onto the figure in the ruins.

A beam of azure light, tearing through the sea of ​​clouds, suddenly descended.

Dr. Li and the others instinctively raised their arms to cover their eyes, but the expected impact did not come, and they felt no unusual physical discomfort.

They trembled as they moved their arms away, only to find Bai rapidly ascending into the air within the blue pillar of light, his clothes fluttering without wind, flying towards the enormous machine above the clouds.

"Professor Bai! Quickly throw off the metal device on your body!" a young researcher shouted at the top of his lungs, his face turning red.

"Is it a key? Or a communicator? Throw it away right now!"

They naturally assumed that Bai was pulled into the sky by that invisible force because he was carrying metal objects.

"Something's wrong!" a bespectacled, disheveled researcher suddenly shrieked. "The forces are wrong!"

When everyone looked closely, their hearts sank.

If the person is attracted by a metal object such as a watch or prosthetic limb, they will be passively suspended in an extremely unnatural posture.

But Bai's floating posture was relaxed, with his limbs evenly bearing an upward lifting force. The blue light did not choose a part of his body, but him as a person.

"Teacher Bai... he was chosen by that thing!"

"Teacher Bai, could it be that you..." Someone connected everything that had happened today, their pupils trembling.

"Are you going to destroy this world...?"

"Those who don't want to die should hurry up and hide in the metaverse!" Dr. Li shouted in a deep voice, which was not loud but drowned out all the noise.

"Metaverse? Why? Can't we hide in the underground base?" someone instinctively retorted. "Our base can withstand the highest level of nuclear explosion!"

"A nuclear explosion?" Dr. Li scoffed, staring at the silent divine warrior high in the sky with a terrifyingly calm expression. "You are researchers from Elvira, among the most brilliant minds in the world."

"Use your brains to analyze this. Can humanity's current civilization withstand even a normal attack from this thing?"

"This..." Everyone was speechless.

The answer is no; that thing at high altitudes is beyond their scientific comprehension.

"Even if the underground base manages to withstand the first wave of impact," Dr. Li continued calmly, "how will you withstand the ensuing tectonic plate fracturing, the mega-earthquake, and the tsunami powerful enough to submerge the entire continental shelf, pulled up by gravity? Will you be crushed to death, drowned, or suffocated tens of thousands of meters underground?"

He looked around at the pale faces.

"While the internet is still working, let's say goodbye to our physical bodies."

"At least, consciousness can survive."

“Let us…give up our physical bodies…” The researchers hesitated. This was a fundamental change in life form, a choice they could not easily accept.

"Why does Teacher Bai want to..."

"Execute the highest evacuation order!" A commanding voice rang out. Dr. Fudo appeared at the back of the crowd, his face ashen, a far cry from his usual composure. "All personnel, immediately enter the 'Ark' cryogenic chambers and connect to the metaverse! This is an order!"

"Dr. Fudo..."

"Listen to Dr. Li, quick!"

The order from the highest authority shattered everyone's last shred of hope, and the researchers, as if waking from a dream, scattered and fled in panic.

As core members of Elvira, they have a dedicated passageway into the metaverse, consisting of individual cryogenic life support pods that are more resistant to external physical impacts than civilian equipment.

The old world order collapsed completely at this moment.

After a few breaths, everyone dispersed, leaving only Dr. Li and Dr. Budong in the wilderness.

"Dr. Immovable, aren't you going to run?" Dr. Li asked calmly, gazing at the divine soldiers high in the sky.

"Curiosity is in a researcher's nature." Dr. Fudo stared intently at the person in front of him, his voice low and deep. "Why aren't you running? What are you thinking?"

“I’m thinking…” Dr. Li paused, as if considering an extremely absurd possibility, “whether I could stop him.”

Dr. Immovable's brow twitched violently, thinking he had misheard: "What did you say? Block...God?"

"Brother, what's wrong with you!" Bai Zhi yelled frantically in his ear, "Let's get out of here! We still have two chances to travel through time, don't waste them on this certain death situation! This timeline is beyond saving!"

“No one can stop him,” Dr. Li said softly. “There is no future for him.”

"But we can't stop this thing either!" Bai Zhi was almost frantic.

“Yes,” Dr. Fudo agreed, “Although I don’t know what your plans are, but—”

"You have no obligation to face an enemy you can't win against."

"Yeah! That kind of world-saving stuff is for the main character!" the white paper shouted. "We're just little mice, let's get out of here!"

"Blank paper." Dr. Li addressed her by her first name, a rare occurrence for him, with a hint of tenderness.

The noise from the white paper abruptly stopped.

“Every time we travel through time, we get beaten up and fail.” Dr. Li’s voice was soft, revealing a long-suppressed weariness. “Every time, we flee like rats.”

"Well... there's nothing we can do, we just can't beat them." Bai Zhi's voice weakened, tinged with panic. "Brother, let's run! We really can't beat them, please run! I'm begging you..."

"I don't want to run away anymore."

"What are you still doing here!" Gilsu returned and found the two still standing there. He rushed forward and shouted at them, "Get out of the way!"

"Go quickly, Dr. Li," Dr. Fudo urged. "You are a great doctor, you should live."

"If humanity has a future."

“Dr. Immovable.” Dr. Li suddenly interrupted him, pointing to the silent divine weapon high in the sky, and asked inappropriately, “What do you think—”

"Is this kid the main character?"

Dr. Immovable and Gil Su were both taken aback. What time is it? Why are they still discussing literature?

“The protagonist?” Gilsu subconsciously thought about it, “With the teacher’s legendary experience, if it were written into the story, he should be considered the protagonist.”

"He's not!" Dr. Li suddenly raised his voice, his tone resolute. "At the end of the story, the protagonist should defeat all the bad guys and bring happiness and beauty to the world, not destruction!"

"He doesn't deserve to be the lead!"

"Then, then—" Gilsu stared at the strange man in the black robe and asked, almost as if possessed, "Then the protagonist is—"

"Brother, no!" Bai Zhi pleaded, her voice trembling with tears, "No, please—"

“I—” Dr. Li lowered his head, his right thumbnail pressed against his left wrist.

"No!" The white paper's scream almost tore through consciousness.

"I'm the main character!" Dr. Li roared, a crimson glint in his eyes, as he slashed his wrist with his nails.

"Crack—" A burst of blood mist exploded at his wrist, so thick it was almost tangible, engulfing him completely.

“Dr. Li… Dr. Li…” Gil Su and Dr. Fudo stared in astonishment at the scene before them, their minds blank.

A hoarse voice came from within the blood mist, carrying a strange, inhuman quality: "Run, Dr. Immovable, Gilsu."

"Stay away from me while I'm still sensible."

“And also, Gilsu,” the voice paused, a hint of smirk in it, “if there’s a future, you should stick with me…”

Even on his deathbed, this scoundrel is still thinking about stealing Bai's man.

"Dr. Li!" Gilsu called out loudly, instinctively wanting to rush forward, but was held back tightly by Dr. Fudo.

"Run!" Dr. Immovable's voice rose, "He's no longer Dr. Li!"

"what--!"

A frenzied howl emanated from the blood mist; the sound was not human, but rather like some ancient ferocious beast breaking free of its shackles.

The scattered metal debris was sucked into the blood mist by an invisible force, but strangely, the metal reorganized in the blood mist, forming a mechanical device that writhed wildly like a living thing, with scarlet flames rising from its surface.

Metals that are alive.

Not a mechanical race.

It's—the Demon race!

It shares the same origin as Hellfire Tiera, with a mechanical body and a demonic core.

The blood mist absorbed all the metal around it, transforming it into a giant blood sphere that rapidly rose into the sky. Inside the blood sphere, a hideous silhouette could be vaguely seen.

Meanwhile, around the world.

Whether in bustling cities or remote towns, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky. The sirens blaring from high above were still wailing, and friends and family around them were screaming and running for their lives, but some people seemed rooted to the spot and couldn't move an inch.

Their minds went blank; they couldn't bear to blink, afraid of missing even a single moment of this miracle.

If it weren't for the fact that holding a phone would cause it to be sucked into the sky, they would have pressed the shutter button until it broke, recording this scene that would go down in history, or perhaps even end it.

The believers of the Church had already knelt down on the ground, ignoring the deadly suction from the sky, piously opening their arms, their faces showing fanatical, distorted smiles.

"God——"

"May your merciful baptism descend upon this filthy world!"

"Boom—" A sound that shattered the void came from the sky, and countless people covered their ears in pain, knelt down on the ground, and let out a shrill wail.

The enormous divine weapon high in the sky slowly brought its hands together, and a ball of destructive energy was gathering in its palms.

It started as a single point of light, but then rapidly expanded, its dazzling blue light shining down on the earth like a second sun, turning the clouds into an apocalyptic blue.

Before the divine weapon's attack was even launched, the dissipated energy had already distorted the atmosphere, and the ground began to tremble slightly.

Despair enveloped the entire planet.

"It's over..."

"Mom..." The child's cries were drowned out by the enormous roar.

"Is this... the end?" An elderly man with white hair took off his glasses, looked calmly at the sky, and revealed a relieved smile.

Just then, the Divine Weapon Heavenly Thunder - Azeus suddenly stopped moving, and the energy gathered in its hands dissipated.

It seemed to have noticed something, turned its head to look in a certain direction, and then disappeared from the crowd's sight.

"Wh...what happened?" On the ground, someone was distracted by fear and looked up at the sky in confusion.

"The divine weapon... no, it's gone?"

Just as Dr. Immovable was about to enter the cabin, he suddenly stopped as if sensing something. Gil Su paused for a moment, then turned around and looked up at the sky.

"Disappeared"

"The divine weapon has vanished."

The fleeing people all stopped what they were doing and screaming, looking at each other in bewilderment, each wanting an explanation.

God suddenly came, and then God suddenly left?

A deathly silence enveloped the land; people collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

"God... has abandoned us..."

The believers of the Church of Christ knelt on the ground in a daze, their fanaticism frozen into a desolate despair.

But this deathly silence lasted for less than three seconds.

"Boom——!!!"

A loud bang erupted from the sky without warning, not the buzzing of energy gathering.

Instead, it is more violent and more savage.

collision!

"Snapped--!"

The glass curtain wall of the entire city shattered instantly, turning into billions of fragments that poured down. Countless people were stunned by the sound and collapsed to their knees, clutching their chests.

"What is that?!"

"Boom——!"

"Boom——!"

Before people could react, a series of impacts tore through the sky, each one heavier and more violent than the last.

The earth began to tremble violently, tall buildings shook, and countless people screamed and searched for cover. On the distant coastline, the seawater, visible to the naked eye, was being lifted up by an invisible force, forming a towering wall of water.

This is not a natural disaster.

"It's the sound of a collision." Dr. Fudo, gripping the hatch, looked up, his face ashen. "Something... is fighting with the divine weapon."

Gilsu, who was standing next to him, was unable to process this scene that was beyond his comprehension.

Battle? With God? Who?
He suddenly remembered the blood mist that devoured all metal, and the man's last frivolous joke.

An utterly absurd idea began to frantically grow in his mind.

That scoundrel...did he really go and challenge a god to a duel?
"Dr. Li"

"Is it him? Is it really him?"

The sounds of violent collisions continued to echo from the heavens above; each clash of the divine weapons was a devastation to the civilization on the ground.

In outer space, various shockwaves exploded one after another, shattering all satellites.

The two divine weapons had been fighting non-stop since they met. There was no stalemate, no respite, just a relentless battle, a fight to the death, to settle all the grudges and grievances of the past sixty years!

Crimson and azure, filth and holiness, the two enormous figures were thrown apart after another violent collision, separated by thousands of miles.

The mechanical weapon radiated a cold blue glow, its body lines sleek and perfect. The collision had left a glaring claw mark on its smooth chest armor.

On the other side, the demonic weapon, engulfed in ominous crimson flames, had a chaotic and grotesque structure with no fixed form; its metal parts writhed on its surface like active tumors.

Both divine weapons were surrounded by a black halo.

"boom--!"

The mechanical warrior raised its arm, and a spear made entirely of energy coalesced in its palm, its shaft flashing with destructive azure lightning, causing the surrounding space to rapidly distort.

Without the slightest hesitation, the spear flew out of his hand, tearing through the vacuum, but its target was not the demonic divine weapon directly in front of him, but the divine star tree behind it that connected heaven and earth.

The demonic weapon's crimson eyes narrowed sharply.

It let out a demonic roar, its arms, made of countless fragments, came together in front of its chest, and the crimson flames burning around it subsided, transforming into an energy shield.

At the same time, the countless writhing metal tentacles on the back of the demonic weapon suddenly straightened, their tips splitting open to shoot out tens of thousands of serpentine beams, like a group of bloodthirsty beasts, rushing towards the mechanical weapon.

"Puff puff!"

The serpentine beam pierced through the armor of the mechanical warrior, running wildly and tearing it apart from within. Every inch of the machine's structure was being disintegrated from the inside, and hideous cracks quickly spread all over its body.

"Boom—" At the same time, the god-slaying spear crashed into the shield on the chest of the demonic divine weapon.

The spear and shield clashed violently, their extreme blue and red colors eroding each other.

Amidst the tremors, the black halos surrounding the two divine weapons suddenly merged, forming an even larger and more dazzling diamond-shattering halo that enveloped both weapons. Within the halo, billions of stars were born and died, and the Milky Way flowed.

"Boom—!" The serpentine beam detonated completely, and the mechanical weapon was torn into pieces from the inside.

"Boom—!" The God-Slaying Spear pierced through the energy shield, tearing the demonic weapon's body apart bit by bit.

In its final moments before collapsing, its massive body suddenly underwent a strange transformation. Its left half detached as if giving birth, carrying the remnants of crimson flames, and was gently propelled away by its right half.

"Brother—!" A sharp, girlish cry rang out from the severed left half of the body.

The remaining right half of his body clung tightly to the god-slaying spear that had pierced him, and together with the flying debris of the mechanical divine weapon, he plummeted straight down from the sky.

The right half of the remains, clutching the god-slaying spear to its chest, rubbed against the atmosphere, igniting a raging inferno.

On the far side of a planet untouched by the sun, it streaks like a scarlet meteor through eternal darkness.

The light was so dazzling that all the surviving humans on the ground couldn't take their eyes off it.

He played a villain for ten lifetimes; that was the most handsome he ever was.

He's so damn handsome, like a main character.

"Boom—" The God-Slaying Spear, having lost its power, pierced into the sea.

That demon, that calamity star, will be nailed to the bottom of the sea.

The story of the subject of the act is recorded in the form of patterns and engraved on the sacred stone.

"Boom!" Two sacred stone tablets appeared in the abyss one after another, startling the fish nearby.

It was the height of summer.

A ray of sunlight pierced through the seawater, illuminating the patterns on the two sacred stone tablets.

Its name is——

【Skybreaker - Aeus】

Typhon, the Star of Calamity
