Cut off my way home? You'll sacrifice the entire other world in return!

The temperature inside the main hall was still dropping.

Eric felt his blood flow slow down.

Every heartbeat was accompanied by excruciating pain.

But he couldn't move.

It wasn't just him.

Standing behind him were the members of the hero's party: the saintess who always spoke of God's will, the grumpy mage who liked to roast goblins with fireballs, and the shield warrior known as the Immovable Fortress for his defensive prowess.

They all look like a group of statues at this moment.

Maintaining the posture from the previous second.

Some were still grinning maliciously, some were preparing to draw their swords, and some still had disdain for the Demon King on their faces.

Li Fan looked down at his palm.

Those hands were long, slender, and fair; they were perfect for typing on a keyboard and writing code, as well as for holding a game controller and playing games.

For the past ten years, these hands have endured the nausea of ​​acting for these alien natives in order to save up a pitiful amount of money for their journey home.

They dare not kill.

I dare not use too much force.

I was afraid of accidentally damaging these fragile experience packs.

"Oh."

Li Fan let out a soft chuckle.

Eric wanted to speak.

He wanted to roar, to chop off the monster's head with his holy sword and tell it that the majesty of the Holy League of Justice was inviolable.

But he couldn't open his mouth.

Only the eyeballs can move.

He frantically turned his eyes to look at his teammates behind him.

help me!

Get to work! What are you doing?!

Master! Where is your forbidden spell?

Saintess! Where is your purification spell?

however.

When he finally managed to focus his gaze on his teammates, he witnessed a scene he would never forget.

The always noisy monk was now staring wide-eyed.

But no sound came out.

Because his tongue was speaking in slurred speech, little by little.

No.

It's not desertification.

It is decomposition.

The muscle tissue starting from the tip of the tongue turned into dust and drifted into the air.

Next come the teeth, gums, and jaw.

The monk didn't seem to feel any pain yet.

Or rather, the pain receptors are no longer present before his brain can process them.

"It's really noisy."

Li Fan frowned slightly.

He didn't look at those people.

He simply waved his hand casually, as if shooing away a fly.

"Since we can't go back to that world."

"Since you've blocked the road."

Li Fan's fingers traced a line in the air.

"Then what use are you all?"

puff.

Puff puff.

A few soft sounds.

Eric's pupils contracted sharply.

Gone.

It's all gone.

The shield warrior, who was said to be able to withstand the breath of a dragon, along with the legendary tower shield in his hand, collapsed in an instant.

It turned into a blood-red mist that filled the sky.

Saintess.

The woman, hailed as the purest of God, didn't even finish reciting her prayer.

Her body dissolved instantly.

Golden hair, fair skin, and a pristine robe.

Everything was mixed together, turning into a lump of red and white mud that then quickly evaporated into mist.

The entire hero team consisted of five people, excluding Eric.

At the moment Li Fan waved.

Completely annihilated.

There were no bodies.

The only things that remained were the intense smell of rust that suddenly filled the main hall and the blood mist that floated in mid-air, condensing into ice crystals due to the extreme cold.

"No…...…"

Eric finally managed to squeeze out a sound.

His mind went blank.

Reason told him that this was impossible.

This is an illusion!

This must be the Demon King's illusion!

Those people were Saint-level experts!

Any one of them could be a top-tier fighter capable of wiping out an entire city!

How could it be wiped away like dust?

They didn't even have a chance to scream and fight back?

"Look."

Li Fan's voice rang out again.

He remained standing in the same spot, without moving an inch.

"They are dead."

He died peacefully.

"That's much better."

Li Fan raised his hand and caught a falling red blood crystal.

The ice crystal melted at his fingertips, turning into a drop of bright red blood.

He looked at the drop of blood.

A hint of sadness flickered in his eyes.

I'm not sad for these people.

Instead, he recalled how, when he was a child, he would stare at the blood on the ground like that when chickens were slaughtered for the New Year.

Back then, Mom would call from the kitchen, "Fanfan, stay away! Don't get blood on yourself, new clothes are hard to wash!"

mom.

I'm covered in blood now.

It can't be washed off.

Li Fan applied slight pressure to the finger, and the drop of blood instantly vaporized.

"Eric, do you know about the law of conservation of energy?"

Li Fan suddenly asked.

Eric was trembling all over, and his crotch was already soaked.

The smell of urine was particularly pungent in the cold air.

He didn't understand what the conservation of energy meant.

All he knew was that the man before him was no longer the demon king who could be defeated at will.

"Oh, by the way, there are no physics classes in your world."

Li Fan chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Simply put...

"To gain something, you have to lose something."

"I used to want to go home."

"Just a little bit of resentment and negative emotion is enough to cover the travel expenses."

"That's the peaceful way."

"This is how I wanted to leave you a way to survive."

Li Fan's eyes gradually turned fervent.

"But you don't want to."

"You've destroyed the road."

"Since the normal doors are blocked..."

【Ding! 】

The new model has been completed.

[Mode Name: World Sacrifice]

Current status: On

[Core principle: Life is fuel.]

[Note: Since the conventional spacetime tunnel has been severed, the system will allow the host to forcibly plunder all matter and energy in this world, transforming souls and flesh into high-purity spacetime particles by annihilating living beings.]

[The conversion rate of one Saint-level expert equals 0.0001% of the spacetime coordinate offset.]

[A god-level powerhouse = 1% spacetime coordinate offset.]

[If the entire world's living beings were sacrificed, it is estimated that enough energy could be generated to forcibly construct a random portal by blasting through dimensional barriers.]

Li Fan smiled as he looked at the words.

I laughed so hard that tears streamed down my face.

It turned out to be the case.

It's that simple.

It turns out that I wasted the last ten years being a subservient grandson.

Killing someone will allow you to go home.

Why should I play this childish game of heroism with you guys?

Eric.

Li Fan took a step forward.

This step has been taken.

The black floor tiles of the entire Demon King's castle instantly turned red.

The sky outside the castle was originally a clear afternoon.

The sky is now covered with dark clouds.

Purple lightning churned in the clouds.

"Did you hear that?"

Li Fan pointed to the sky.

"That's your world screaming."

"It's afraid."

"Because it knew its end was near."

Eric finally broke down.

Fear overwhelmed his will.

He knelt down with a thud, his hands supporting him on the ground, snot and tears streaming down his face.

"No...don't kill me..."

"I was wrong... Li Fan... no, Demon King..."

"Please... I don't want to die..."

The arrogant hero who had just been humiliating Li Fan with the missing person poster now resembled a stray dog.

"I'll fix the road for you! I'll beg the goddess! I'll beg the Pope!"

"There must be a way! Don't kill me!"

Li Fan looked down at him.

There was not a trace of pity in his eyes.

"Fixed?"

"It's too late."

"Even if you fix the road now, I won't walk on it."

Li Fan crouched down so that his line of sight was level with Eric's.

"Because I'm going to take a new path."

"A road paved with the blood and flesh of all of you."

Li Fan reached out and gently straightened Eric's disheveled collar.

"Don't be afraid, Eric."

"I won't kill you."

"At least not now."

"You're still useful."

"You are the one who cut off my way home, and also the one who brought me news of my parents."

"You are a good person."

"You should be sitting in the VIP seats, watching with your own eyes how I'm going to turn this world upside down..."

Li Fan stood up and opened his arms.

Countless black tentacles surged out of the void behind them and shot straight into the sky.

The tentacles intertwined in the sky, forming a slowly rotating black vortex.

At the center of the vortex was a scarlet eye.

It is coldly watching this land.

"...Little by little, until everything is gone."

[World Sacrifice Progress: 0.00005%]

[Source: Brave Squad Minions (5 people)]

[Energy recovered.]

That's the right way.

This is the truth.

What love and peace, what mutual understanding?

It's nothing compared to the word "going home".

"system."

"Remove the defensive barrier around the Demon King's castle."

Li Fan gave the order in a calm tone.

[Command confirmed. Silent Fortress defenses have been disarmed.]

"Open the door."

"Release all your breath."

"Tell the Allied forces outside who are celebrating their victory, tell the gods hiding in the heavens."

Li Fan walked to the entrance of the main hall.

Outside the gate was a densely packed army of soldiers tasked with the expedition.

There were human knights, elven archers, and dwarven musketeers.

They are holding their flags, ready to rush in and share the spoils of victory.

They thought the brave warrior had already won.

The Demon King has been defeated.

As the door slowly opened.

Tens of thousands of eyes turned to look.

Then they saw the man standing in the shadows.

And the brave warrior kneeling at the man's feet, covered in blood and trembling.

The cheers abruptly stopped.

Li Fan stepped out the door.

The sunlight shone on his face but couldn't penetrate his eyes.

He looked at the fuel covering the entire mountainside.

A cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips.

Good afternoon, everyone.

Li Fan's voice, amplified by the power of the laws, clearly reached everyone's ears.

"I am Li Fan."

"The Demon King you speak of."

"I have some bad news to tell you all."

He paused to observe the fear gradually appearing on the faces of these people.

I miss home.

"But the travel expenses are a bit expensive."

"so…....…"

"Please, everyone, lend me your lives."

"The kind you don't have to pay back."

boom!

The enormous scarlet eye in the sky blinked.

A black beam of light descended from the sky and enveloped the entire Demon King's City.

[World Sacrifice Mode, in full swing.]

This moment.

The people of the other world finally remembered.

The fear of being dominated by the true demon king.

as well as.

The humiliation of being used as fuel.
