Swallowing the Stars: The Supreme Being of All Heavens

Chapter 87 Death and Decay

"Ladies and gentlemen from all the universes."

"This life-or-death battle is about to begin. Please place your bets as soon as possible, as time is running out."

"Cornelia to win, odds 1:1.35."

"Lemia wins, odds are 1:2.27."

"If both sides perish, the odds are 1:108, that's right, 108 times the odds. In a life-or-death duel between two equally skilled opponents, it is very possible that they will both perish."

"There are only ten minutes left until the betting deadline. Please hurry, this is an opportunity not to be missed!" A loud voice announced.

The standard universal language echoed in the ears of all the viewers.

Inside a private room on the second floor.

Saki asked with great interest, "Suk, do you want to place a bet? Judging from the official odds given by the Giant Axe Arena, Cornelia is clearly favored to win."

Eloi looked at Suk: "Which bet are you choosing?"

Suk hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "I'm not sure, so I won't place a bet."

Saki couldn't help but say, "You really aren't going to bet? It's obvious that betting on Cornelia gives you a much better chance of winning. Don't worry about the low odds, as long as you can make money."

Suk said, "There's no point in winning something like this, where you gamble with other people's lives."

Saki, familiar with Suk's temperament, shook his head. "A little gambling is harmless. You're so cautious, you can't even let loose on something like this. Your future wife will definitely find you boring." Under the strange gazes of Suk and Eloi, he casually said, "Then I'll bet Cornelia 1 million cosmic coins." This money was given to him by Suk, though not too much, just 100 million cosmic coins. Suk didn't give him a hundred percent; he took an IOU from him, promising to repay double later.

Given the relationship between the two, this seems like a joke.

Saki bet 1 million universe coins, which may seem like a small amount, but in reality, 300,000 universe coins are equivalent to one trillion Jialan coins, which is equivalent to holding three inhabited planets as stakes.

"Then I'll also invest 100 million cosmic coins in Cornelia," Eloi said after asking Bubble's opinion. She had over 7 trillion cosmic coins on her, so taking out 100 million was nothing.

Suk's parents also invested 100 million cosmic coins in Cornelia.

Clearly, everyone is being cautious. Nobody is betting on Lemia, even though the odds are high, which also indicates a low probability of winning.

This life-or-death battle took place on an ordinary, desolate planet in the Sickle Dragon Starfield of the Northern Xuan Universe Kingdom.

"Now, we will begin the live broadcast switch for the final battle."

As the host's voice rang out, the arena suddenly went dark. At the same time, a fiery red planet appeared in the center of the arena. The planet continued to expand, and on its surface, thick smoke billowed, lava flowed, and volcanoes erupted with earth-shattering force from time to time.

Faintly visible amidst the billowing smoke and dazzling flames were two figures.

A tall, slender woman with well-defined muscles had skin that had a deep blue sheen, dotted with fluorescent spots that glowed softly in the firelight, like stars in the night sky.

Her facial features were sharp, with large, bright eyes and pupils that had vertical stripes like those of a feline.

It reveals a beauty that combines wildness and wisdom.

Behind her, which resembled a skirt-like armor, a blue tail swung nimbly, and she held a long whip in her hand.

She is "Laimia", a member of the Taliwa tribe, a powerful alien race at the ninth level of the universe and the ninth level of the domain.

In the distance opposite, there was another tall and graceful woman, dressed in pure white armor that shimmered with a faint light, like moonlight falling on ice crystals. Most striking of all were the enormous black wings on her back, a racial characteristic of the "Northern Xuan Royal Family."

Each feather seemed to absorb the surrounding light, so pure black, yet with a faint shimmer of blue at its edges.

Her long, silver hair cascaded down like a waterfall, fluttering gently in the wind, its black and white contrasting sharply with her wings.

Beneath her feet floated a massive, silver sword-shaped weapon with a streamlined body and intricate patterns on its surface.

She is Cornelia, a cosmic-level ninth-tier mentalist controller with 999 wins in the Giant Axe Arena!

"The glory of my homeland." "Lemia" closed her eyes and placed her hands on her chest in a prayerful gesture, speaking in her broken Taliwa language. Ever since the day she bid farewell to her family and resolutely left her homeland, she had vowed to become a true strongman and return home with glory.

There are many Taliwa people like her, most of whom die outside.

The black-winged, silver-haired woman opposite him watched coldly, her mind replaying the words spoken that day.

"Become a Giant Axe Warrior! You will then become a formal member of the Northern Profound Clan, and your parents' sins will be forgiven!"

In fact, she was already confident of breaking through to the Domain Lord level, but in order to become a "Giant Axe Warrior", she had to win 1000 matches!

Once you break through to the Domain Lord level, you won't have this opportunity anymore.

"Domain Lord-level Giant Axe Warriors" are a thousand times, ten thousand times rarer than "Cosmic-level Giant Axe Warriors"!

As for "World Lord-level Giant Axe Warriors", they are all legends in the Universe Kingdom!

"The final battle of the giant axe!" Bright light burst forth from her eyes, like two dazzling swords piercing the darkness, and surging fighting spirit boiled in the space with the explosion of her aura.

Its wings spread out behind it, their soaring momentum seemingly blotting out the sky and the sun.

"They've made their move." The camera equipment at the Giant Axe Arena quickly and clearly captured the battle scene and transmitted it to the virtual universe network, projecting it into Arena 03991, allowing all the spectators in the arena to clearly see the battle.

"Cornelia's Light Domain." Suk's eyes lit up. After releasing her Light Domain, Cornelia became like a mini sun, and everything around her became mesmerizing and distorted. Countless rays of light rippled like ocean waves, and she was as if she were immersed in an ocean of light.

On the other hand, the Taliwa tribe's "Lemia" is the opposite, possessing a lightning domain. Blue lightning violently condenses into terrifying lightning snakes, devouring everything around them. "Lemia's" long whip is also a telekinetic weapon, which, under her control, strangely coils around the enemy like a venomous snake ready to pounce at any moment.

Cornelia excels in illusion, while Lemia excels in speed.

Clearly, both of them have reached a very high level of expertise in their respective fields.

Suk focused more on Cornelia, because he felt that her field of light had a greater impact on him.

The atmosphere in the entire venue became tense as the battle progressed.

time flies.

"Both sides are fighting desperately. Oh no! Cornelia was trapped by 'Lemia's' whip. She's free, but she's coughing up blood! Lemia's whip has entangled her again. Is the duel about to end?"

Many people find it hard to understand why, when the odds clearly show a higher multiplier for Lemia, she is now in an advantageous position.

"The Taliwa tribe is really cunning; they've fooled everyone," a super strong individual in the fourth-floor private room said with a slight shake of his head and a smile.

The people in the private box were very excited. Eloi asked doubtfully, "Did we all see wrong? Is Lemia going to win?"

"No, look." The bubble on her shoulder shook its head, its face serious.

"What?"

A huge uproar erupted from the audience.

Cornelia, who was trapped and on the verge of death, suddenly burst forth with an incredibly dazzling light, as if a real sun had been born, and the light spread out in all directions.

The silver greatsword, which was also trapped, suddenly shuddered, directly shaking off the entangled lightning and psychic weapons. It accelerated abruptly, transforming into a beam of light and passing through Lemia's body at an astonishing speed.

Fortunately, Lemia dodged in time, but one of her arms was severed off.

The situation reversed instantly.

"Cornelia has broken through to the Domain Lord level," Bubble sighed. "With Cornelia's breakthrough, Lemia has no chance unless she also breaks through."

"We won." Saki was overjoyed. He didn't care who died or lived on the field; all he knew was that Cornelia's victory meant he won money.

Just when everyone thought the situation was settled, Lemia, covered in blood, stared intently at Cornelia with her eyes wide open, a smile suddenly appearing on her face.

"The glory of our homeland." (Taliwa language)

Boom! A cloud of blue blood mist erupted from the Taliwa woman, and flames of life rose from her body, carrying with them an aura of soul destruction.

Like moths to a flame, they charged headlong towards Cornelia, whose expression had drastically changed.

The Taliwa tribe has a forbidden secret technique that uses the burning of everything at the last moment to deliver a fatal blow, called "Glory"!
