Golden Shovel Survival: One Lucky Star and One Colorful Hex

Chapter 296 The Void Ruler, a Half-Step God, Joins Forces with the Three Dragon Gods!

"Who told you the void originated from Honkai?"

The Void Overlord sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his crimson eyes. The dark purple void power around him suddenly became violent, flowing wildly like boiling ink.

Wherever it passed, space collapsed at a visible speed, turning into countless twisted fragments, even light was completely swallowed up; the originally colorful world faded rapidly under its influence, the sky, the earth, living beings... everything turned into a monotonous black and white, as if time was frozen in the moment of annihilation.

"The collapse originates from the void!" Its voice carried a soul-piercing majesty. In the black and white world, only its dark purple figure remained clear. "Beneath the void, all things will be devoured into nothingness, laws will fail, order will collapse, and ultimately—everything will become part of the void!"

As the words fell, the Void Sovereign suddenly raised his hand, and a huge void rift suddenly split open between the black and white world. Evil energy, a hundred times more concentrated than before, surged out of the rift. Wherever the energy passed, even the golden light spots scattered by the spirit of the dragon were instantly swallowed up. The newly healed earth cracked again. This time, the rift was no longer filled with black mist, but with pure nothingness, from which even light could not escape.

The dragon's spirit sensed the changes in its surroundings, and for the first time, a solemn expression appeared in its golden pupils. It discovered that its dragon might was being significantly suppressed in the black and white world, and the diffusion of its life energy was becoming sluggish, as if it were trapped in a lawless quagmire. "This is... a void domain?"

"You do have some insight." The Void Overlord slowly turned around in front of the rift, its dark purple scales standing out starkly against the black and white background. "This is the true essence of the Void—not pollution, but devouring. No matter how strong your power of order is, it will be slowly annihilated in this realm, eventually becoming a black and white afterimage just like them."

"Damn it! You've broken through to the half-step godhood?!"

Sensing the power that threatened to devour even its own laws of order, the Dragon God's spirit felt immense pressure, and a look of horror appeared in its eyes.

"if not?"

After the Void Sovereign devoured all the divine cores given to him by the mysterious man, and with years of accumulation, he finally broke through from a third-level god to a half-step god.

He personally intervened this time because the mysterious man seemed to have encountered some trouble. He wanted to take the place of the mysterious man, seize the opportunity to devour the entire Rune Continent, take that unprecedented step, and achieve the position of a god!

"It seems you've gained quite a bit from the Fourth World."

The spirit of the dragon endured the pain of its laws being devoured, and suddenly opened its mouth to spew out the primordial dragon pearl. The cyan-gold dragon pearl floated in mid-air, emitting a dazzling light, temporarily resisting the assimilation of the void domain.

"Aren't you afraid that the other side will treat you as a pawn, yet you try to replace them? Aren't you afraid of getting burned?"

"A pawn?" The Void Sovereign laughed wildly, his laughter echoing through the black and white world, filled with madness and confidence. "Once I become a god, who will dare to treat me as a pawn? That guy can't even protect himself, this is my chance!"

It charged towards the Dragon Ball, its dark purple claws gathering the power of nothingness. "Your laws of order are indeed in the way, but in the face of the void power of a half-step god, you are ultimately just a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

boom!
The sharp claws collided with the dragon ball, producing a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

The cyan-gold light and dark purple energy clashed violently, the runes on the Dragon Ball flickered intensely, and the body of the Divine Dragon Spirit shrank again due to the depletion of its source. Blood vessels appeared in its golden vertical pupils, indicating that it had reached its limit.

Although the Void Sovereign was forced back by the Dragon Ball, he was unharmed. His dark purple aura intensified, and he could sense the Dragon Ball's light gradually dimming. "Give up, Spirit of the Dragon," the Void Sovereign pressed forward, the void power within his black and white domain growing stronger, even devouring the Dragon Ball's light. "Let this continent become my sacrifice for godhood; then you will die a worthy death."

The spirit of the dragon gazed at the continent below, which was being annihilated, and listened to the desperate cries of its inhabitants. A resolute glint flashed in its golden pupils. It suddenly poured all its remaining essence into the Dragon Pearl, and the azure-gold light surged forth, temporarily forcing back the claws of the Void Ruler: "I have protected this continent for ten thousand years. How can I let you, this rotting flesh, succeed? Even if I burn my essence to the bone, I will drag you down with me!"

"The burning of the source?" A hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of the Void Overlord. "Just a death throes."

Then it ceased its restraint, its dark purple void power coalescing into a gigantic scythe, upon which flowed the laws of the void, and slashed fiercely down at the Dragon Ball, shouting, "End of the Void!"

This strike combined the pressure of a half-step god with the power of the void's origin. Wherever it passed, even the light of the dragon ball was completely annihilated. The dragon spirit let out a mournful roar, and the dragon ball shattered inch by inch under the scythe.

"The storm has ceased!"

"The stars are falling!"

The instant the Dragon Ball shattered, two earth-shattering dragon roars erupted simultaneously, tearing apart the black and white, deathly silence of the realm.

Storm Dragon God Ao Xing was surrounded by a deep blue hurricane, with countless sharp wind blades gathered at the center of the hurricane. The wind blades were wrapped with a faint golden light of order, and they crashed fiercely into the Void Scythe.

The Star Forger, Thor, roared, and a dazzling star map appeared behind him. Countless illusory stars converged into a golden meteor torrent, carrying the force to smash down the heavens, heading straight for the head of the Void Overlord.

The two worked together seamlessly, one on the left and one on the right. Ao Xing's "Storm Annihilation" tore through the void energy with a gale, specifically targeting the void scythe's annihilation properties.

Thor's "Starfall" directly clashed with the immense power of the stars' origin, using the laws of the star map to suppress the pressure of the half-step god. The two attacks arrived simultaneously, colliding with the Void Ruler's "Void End" in mid-air, unleashing a world-destroying energy shockwave.

"clang--!"

The deafening metallic clang shook the heavens and earth. The Void Laws on the Void Scythe were torn open by the storm blades, and the golden meteors flowing like a river of stars slammed into the scythe handle, causing the Void Ruler's arm to tremble slightly.

The dark purple void power clashed violently with the deep blue storm and the golden star energy, causing countless cracks to appear in the black and white domain, and even the speed of annihilation was momentarily halted.

"Ao Xing! Thor!" The Dragon Spirit trembled slightly as it looked at the two figures blocking its path. Its golden vertical pupils held both surprise and anxiety. "Why are you here? The Land of Fortune..."

“There’s a conflict within the Fourth World, and they seem to be fighting fiercely. Plus, so many void rifts have appeared. The enemy has already arrived. Whether we defend the Land of Fortune or not is irrelevant,” Ao Xing said.

“Exactly, let’s stall for time until that kid has fused all five world runes and become a god,” Thor nodded in agreement.
