Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

"...?"

The little doll had its head down and its eyes closed.

Logically speaking, the dolls in the Black Tower should all have a certain degree of self-awareness, but this little doll is different; he discovered this as soon as he got it.

This doll seems to only become conscious when Black Tower himself is controlling it.

[Huh? This thing came along too! So, what do the things you can take with you have in common?]

Jiang Jiu was also curious.

So far, the only things that have crossed timelines to follow him, besides the Lonely Star Sword that has recognized him as its master, are the masks that Aha forcibly shoved into his hands when he marked him.

No more.

It's understandable that Aha is a star god, and it's also understandable that he puts a mask on him, but why should this doll be allowed to come along?

"The case has been reassessed."

"Upon inspection, the item was determined to be spoils of war."

Jiang Jiu thought for a while, but couldn't figure out the messy reasons in the middle, so he simply gave up thinking about it.

I'm not really curious anyway.

"By the way, if I go to Pam and ask for a ticket, can I bring it out? When the third line takes the train over, they'll be shocked by the ticket."

Jiang Jiu thought it would be worth a try if he had the chance; he figured it would be a lot of fun.

"Alright, never mind that, let's go, the third line."

Selection successful.

Please select whether you wish to witness the final chapter of this world line.

"Selected, yes."

Jiang Jiu's vision blurred for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, he was met with an extremely strong attack wave.

He instinctively flinched, but halfway through, he couldn't help but pause for a moment.

What came into view was the Star Train broken in two, and two powerful energy fluctuations.

At the end of the luminous band, the white hole controlled by the foehn wind and Walter's black hole formed a brief stalemate.

But it is clear that black holes are weak.

In a place that wasn't too far away, he saw the figures of the other members of the train crew.

...but they can no longer be considered human.

Their figures were illusory, constantly repeating the same things they had done countless times, but their eyes were vacant, and they had lost all self-awareness.

"...Blood Sin Spirit".

Not far away in the void, the figure of the pioneer floated aimlessly in the universe due to weightlessness, his fate unknown.

Almost without hesitation, Jiang Jiu brought Xing down from the Milky Way and placed her on a meteorite near the glassy light belt. After confirming that her vital signs had not completely disappeared, he temporarily settled her there.

Uncle Yang didn't last long. Under the white hole of the foehn wind, the black hole disappeared rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just before he was completely swallowed up, Walter Young felt a gentle touch on his back, and then a powerful force pushed the black hole back up along his cane.

Jiang Jiu helped maintain the position for two seconds, then Walter forcefully pushed him out of the attack range with his shoulder.

Walter had thought he was going to die, but this unexpected turn of events left him stunned.

But he only glanced briefly at the people who came to help before turning his gaze to his former companions.

Jiang Jiu subconsciously tried to control the power of the Burning Wind White Hole explosion, and the power of nothingness was partially dispersed before it could be fully unleashed.

He looked at Fenfeng, who was also sizing him up.

"...We've finally met, Foehn."

The figure of Fenfeng floated among the shattered galaxy, surrounded by an aura of pure and extreme "entropy increase" and "annihilation," with a white hole spinning in his palm.

He looked at Jiang Jiu with a calm gaze.

...That legendary self-destructor, who may have traveled further into the void than to the underworld, was also the strongest annihilation lord under the command of Destruction, Burning Wind.

Fenfeng looked at Jiang Jiu, but showed no particular expression.

It was more of a scrutiny; his gaze held no curiosity, only examination and... hostility.

"Time's End".

Fenfeng called out Jiang Jiu's name directly.

This seems to be a signal.

Neither side exchanged any unnecessary words. There was no discussion about why they attacked the train crew, why they saved the train crew, or whether the two were both destructive rulers and could discuss things.

Foehn admires the strong.

But the prerequisite is that you need to be a strong person.

Without waiting for Jiang Jiu's response, the moment he raised his hand, the space around Jiang Jiu, along with the surrounding star field, was annihilated.

The concept of nothingness itself is experiencing a rapid increase in entropy...?

Jiang Jiu barely hesitated, instinctively severing his connection with the void, and his figure transformed into a blur as he retreated rapidly.

Space was disintegrated, and nothingness was pushed into chaos in an instant. The ultimate negation was somewhat passive in the face of entropy increase.

"Special attack on 'Nothingness'..."

Chapter 148 Your sword is utterly vulnerable.

Jiang Jiu looked at Fen Feng, and the warning sounds in his mind were about to explode.

He seemed to understand why the first two lines had a danger level of 90%, while only the Foehn Wind line had a danger level of 95%...

The parallel operation of three lines of command may not be the real reason. The real reason... may be that absolute strength is needed to deal with the Foehn wind.

Jiang Jiu dodged the attack of the Burning Wind, and the Silent Star Sword hummed in his hand.

In just one glance, he understood one thing: Fenfeng's understanding of nothingness was deeper than his own. Whether it was nothingness or destruction, Fenfeng had probably gone much further than him.

The opponent possesses a power specifically designed to counter nothingness... How can we possibly fight that?

Fenfeng did not pursue. He stood still, the white hole spinning in his hand hovering silently. His gaze toward Jiang Jiu finally carried a hint of disappointment.

......disappointment?

What kind of expression is that? Is it mockery? It's even more ironic than mockery.

Almost without hesitation, he relinquished some of the power of nothingness, choosing instead to use the power of destruction to attempt a breakout.

Regardless of whether we can win or not, we should at least test the strength of the Burning Wind.

He abandoned his defense, and as Jixing Sword closed in, Fenfeng also grabbed a sword and engaged Jiang Jiu in close combat.

At first, it seemed like a normal exchange of blows.

The further Jiang Jiu went... the more he felt like he was being led by the sword of the Burning Wind.

This was the first time he had ever felt this way.

Therefore, he chose to trade injuries to disrupt his opponent's rhythm.

After several exchanges, the swordplay became increasingly chaotic until Fenfeng pierced Jiang Jiu's shoulder with his sword, leaving a long, penetrating wound.

When Fenfeng saw the longsword slip from Jiang Jiu's hand, he shook his head.

"That's all?"

The voice of the frost wind was flat, but its tone carried obvious disappointment.

"Relying on the denial and escape of nothingness, relying on the calculation and trickery of intellect, relying on the brute force of destruction... Shi Jin, your sword, your power, your very existence, all exude a kind of chaos. Your sword is utterly vulnerable."

Jiang Jiu steadied himself, his chest rising and falling slightly.

He pressed on the wound, ignoring the constantly overflowing blood, and used destructive power to burn the wound to forcibly stop the bleeding.

After the Lonely Star Sword left his hand, it spun once in the void before returning to Jiang Jiu's hand.

"Your swordplay is chaotic and utterly disorganized."

Burning Wind's gaze swept over the Lonely Star Sword.

"The foundation of power is superficial, and the application of different destinies is just a crude accumulation without integration or sublimation... It has strength but no ability to use it."

Jiang Jiu: "..."

“You’re like a poor imitator, Shi Jin.”

It's like seeing the power of nothingness and then chasing after denial.

Seeing the destructive power of destruction, they try to imitate it.

Upon seeing the intellectual framework, one then resorts to calculation...

They greedily used all seemingly powerful forces, but never truly understood their core.

Fenfeng casually lowered his sword, the tip pointing towards the void abyss. His posture didn't resemble that of someone preparing for battle, as if he didn't care at all that Jiang Jiu was standing on the opposite side of him.

“Aside from nothingness, I see no reason why you are qualified to embark on the path of destruction and intellect, or how you obtained the power of an Envoy.”

"Destruction is the inevitable end that drives all things toward their end, the pure will that embraces entropy and annihilation. But you are merely using the power of destruction as a means of attack. Your destruction is merely a form."

"As for wisdom..." Fenfeng shook his head slightly, seemingly thinking it was not worth mentioning, "You have not even truly stepped into the core of that destiny path."

Jiang Jiu gripped the Lonely Star Sword tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white.

It wasn't out of anger, but because... what the other person said seemed damnably reasonable.

Of the three destinies, it seems that only nothingness is passively moving forward.

He jumps between different timelines and faces different problems, and he tends to look for shortcuts.

The first two lines seem less about solving a problem and more about finding an answer...

But isn't it right that he uses his existing power with the ultimate goal of completing the mission and reversing the future? Isn't that what he's supposed to do?

Jiang Jiu didn't understand why Fen Feng was telling him all this nonsense.
