Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

A deafening roar continued, and the shockwaves cracked countless fissures in the platform's solid ground.

It was so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it.

This is a battle between master and disciple, and also a clash of ideologies!

Pan Zhen is Lena's mentor, even like a father figure. He trained her with the most rigorous methods from a young age, teaching her how to control her power, but he also always sheltered her under his wing, believing that she was not mature enough to bear the burden of civilization's survival.

However, at this moment, Lena's unwavering will, decisive actions, and exquisite mastery of solar energy far exceeded Pan Zhen's expectations!

She is no longer the little girl who needs his constant care, but a true god who fights for her own civilization and for the justice of the universe!

Even in the fiercest confrontation, she gradually suppressed Pan Zhen with her unwavering belief in fighting for what she wanted to protect and her purer, more intense energy.

Finally, Lena seized a slight opening in Pan Zhen's defenses, clasped her hands together, and unleashed a blazing spear of light that embodied all her faith and power!

"boom--!"

The spear in Pan Zhen's hand vibrated violently and flew out of his hand. He staggered back more than ten steps before he could barely steady himself. His chest was churning with blood and his face was filled with shock.

Looking at the young god before him, whose eyes were as firm as stars and whose aura was as powerful as a sun prominence, the shock in his eyes slowly transformed into an extremely complex emotion, mixed with indescribable relief and a sense of weightlessness. He murmured to himself:

"Your Majesty, Lena has really grown up."

"Heh...hehe..."

Pan Zhen suddenly chuckled, his laughter tinged with self-mockery, but mostly with a sense of relief.

He shook his head, as if he had unloaded a thousand-year-old burden that had been weighing on his shoulders.

He slowly took out his own ancient and powerful tiger tally from his robes, walked with slightly heavy but firm steps to Lena, and presented it with both hands:

"Your Majesty, you have won. Your will and your strength have proven your ability. The future of Lieyang is entrusted to you. Your old minister will obey your command."

Lena looked at the tiger tally that symbolized half of the Lieyang Army's power, and then at Pan Zhen's eyes, which were no longer filled with coercion but with trust and entrustment. She was filled with mixed emotions.

She solemnly accepted the heavy tiger tally and merged it with her own.

The complete tiger tally instantly erupted with a gentle yet powerful energy fluctuation, resonating strongly with the distant rumbling mother cauldron. The rumbling sound of the mother cauldron seemed to weaken slightly in response.

She took a deep breath, raised the complete tiger tally, and poured her divine power into it, preparing to communicate with the core of the Mother Cauldron, shut down the Yuan Cauldron, and end this disaster targeting Earth.

At this most crucial moment, a sinister voice, tinged with mockery and icy coldness, suddenly rang out in a corner of the empty platform:

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a touching display of master-disciple affection, and harmonious relationship between ruler and subject. A choice concerning the survival of civilization has been portrayed by you in such a tender and affectionate manner. It's a pity, people of Lieyang, stop making futile struggles. Your show should come to an end."

Lena turned her head sharply and looked in the direction of the sound.

A figure slowly emerged from the shadow of the hall's massive supporting pillars.

When she saw the person's face clearly, her pupils suddenly contracted.

She actually knew this person!

It was the same bartender who served their table Coke and drinks at that bar in Juxia City a few days ago!

But at this moment, he was no longer dressed as an ordinary waiter. Instead, he was wearing a streamlined black bodysuit covered with eerie dark patterns, a metal hat that covered half of his face, and an energy blade that constantly emitted chilling dark ripples, as if it could devour all light.

“It is a great honor for me, Nusa, to be remembered by the esteemed Lord of the Sun.”

The newcomer gave a cold and cruel smile and introduced himself.

"Nusa?!"

Upon hearing this name, Pan Zhen's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in a hoarse voice:

"Nusa, the most mysterious assassin under Death God Karl, one of the Four Knights of the Styx, a symbol of war and slaughter! It was you! You were the one who infiltrated the Heavenly Dao Tower and caused destruction!"

"That's right. General Pan Zhen is indeed very knowledgeable."

Nusa readily admitted it, his tone carrying a condescending pity, as if commenting on the struggle of an ant:

“By order of my god Karl, I have come to ‘assist’ you old gods who are stuck in your ways and afraid of progress, to evolve ahead of time and step into the eternal Void Paradise.”

He tilted his head, his gaze sweeping over Pan Zhen and Lena from beneath his straw hat, his tone turning regretful:

"What a pity, what a pity. I thought that Pan Zhen, having lived for tens of thousands of years and witnessed the vastness and cruelty of the universe, would be able to grasp a trace of the true meaning of my god Karl's great theory and actively embrace evolution. I never expected that in the end you would still be so ignorant and stubborn, clinging to your decaying physical body and so-called peace and prosperity. It's truly disappointing."

Pan Zhen laughed in extreme anger, his voice booming like a bell:

"Hmph! To collude with monsters like Karl who abandon their physical bodies and become neither human nor ghost? To indulge in that illusory, all-destroying void theory? I haven't stooped that low! The dignity of the blazing sun cannot be desecrated!"

"Then there's nothing I can do. Since you're unwilling to embrace evolution and are content to be sacrificial lambs of the old era, then you only deserve to smell my god Karl's farts!"

Nusa shook his head regretfully, slowly raising the void blade in his hand that emanated an ominous aura, its tip pointing at the two of them:

"The foundation laid by the blazing sun over ten thousand years is destined to become the best sacrifice to please my god Karl and verify the theory of the void! This primordial cauldron, and the planet it is about to destroy, are the perfect stage!"

He laughed wildly, and powerful void energy began to gather around him.

The Void Blade emitted a buzzing vibration, and the surrounding space began to distort slightly. It was about to activate the strange Void Engine and deliver a fatal blow to Lena and Pan Zhen, who had just experienced a great battle and whose divine power was greatly depleted!

Suddenly, an indescribable, immense pressure, seemingly emanating from the very origin of the universe, descended upon us!

This pressure is not simply an energy surge, nor is it physical pressure; rather, it is more like an absolute control at the level of rules!

Like countless invisible shackles, they instantly solidified all the space around Nusa, locking and suppressing his every subtle movement, every flow of energy, and even every thought that arose in his mind!

Nusa's maniacal laughter froze instantly, turning into utter horror and disbelief!

He felt as if he had been thrown into the singularity of the universe, and even his thinking became sluggish and difficult!

He struggled, almost using all his willpower, to barely move his eyes to look at the source of the terrifying pressure.

Qin Chuan had appeared silently at the edge of the platform, walking slowly towards it with a calm expression, as if he had just done something insignificant.

"No...impossible!!"

Nusa's eyes were bloodshot, and his heart was screaming wildly, almost screaming out loud, but even his voice was suppressed by the invisible pressure!

"I tested him several times! I even used the void detector bestowed upon me by my god Karl! I clearly confirmed that he was just an avatar with an extremely low energy level! How could he possibly still have such power?! This is absolutely impossible! This violates all the laws of energy!"

Lena, standing to the side, was also stunned. Her red lips parted slightly as she looked at Qin Chuan in disbelief.

She had personally heard Qin Chuan admit that this particle clone was extremely weak, possessing only one in a billion of the power of the original.

Qin Chuan did not explain.

Even if explained, it would be difficult for them to understand, given the God of War world's emphasis on technology and "power" in its cognitive system.

In the world of fox spirits, cultivation emphasizes the "heart" and the "path." Strength has its limits, but the heart is limitless.

The so-called one is ten thousand, and ten thousand is one.

A single grain of dust can fill the sea, and a single blade of grass can cut down the sun, moon, and stars.

For him, even a clone formed from a single particle can carry almost all of his thoughts and insights into the Great Dao at the level of "heart" and "Dao".

On the contrary, the illusory body that Karl researched, which abandons the material basis and focuses on the spiritual information state, and the related void technology, are essentially closer to the category of "mind" and "thought," and are an extreme manifestation of spiritual power.

Qin Chuan used his mental power, which originated from a higher level and was extremely refined, to suppress a phantom body and its creations that were essentially biased towards a spiritual and soul-like form.

It's a perfect match, a game-changer, a natural counter.

This is the real reason why Nusa felt as if he were being suppressed by the will of the entire universe, and could not even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

The void technology he relied on appeared so pale and powerless in the face of a true master of the Dao.

Chapter 37 sounds familiar.

Although Nusa's body was firmly bound by that invisible force, and not even his fingertips could tremble, after the initial shock, a twisted and arrogant smile slowly appeared on his face, which was covered by a metal hat.

“Heh…heh heh…” His laughter emanated through some kind of energy vibration, carrying a harsh sarcasm. “What an amazing method! I admit, I underestimated you, the chief god of Earth.”

Nusa's eyes darted around with difficulty, his gaze sweeping over Pan Zhen and Lena, whose faces had turned ashen from his words.

"But so what? You think you've subdued me? Ridiculous!"

His voice grew increasingly smug:

"The person before you is merely one of the puppets I, God Karl, mass-produced using the Great Clock and void technology! I can have as many of these clones as I want! Losing one is regrettable, but not unbearable!"

To further provoke the enraged Sun God and Guardian before him, Nusa's voice became even more sinister and gleeful as he revealed a long-buried secret:

"Do you know that the reason I'm so 'favoring' your Lieyang Civilization isn't without reason?"

His tone was filled with deep-seated hatred:

"Many years ago, your army of the blazing sun shattered my homeland! My civilization, my family, were all destroyed by your interstellar expansion war! It was you who turned me into a homeless orphan!"

"It was my god Karl who took me in, gave me strength, and gave me meaning!"

Nusa's voice grew even sharper with excitement:

"Therefore, my purpose in existing is to take revenge on the blazing sun and destroy everything you cherish! The pain you feel is less than one ten-thousandth of what I felt back then!"

He reveled in the shocked and angry expressions on Pan Zhen and Lena's faces, and continued to drop even more bombshells:

"Do you remember the destruction of the Deno Galaxy? That disaster that led to the first Sun God's suicide as atonement! Hahahaha! That's right, it was me who secretly instigated it, ultimately causing that idiot Di Hongkun to detonate the sun of the Deno Galaxy! He became the sinner who destroyed a galaxy, and also drove himself to his doom!"

"And your father, the second Sun God Emperor Tianlin." Nusa's gaze shifted to Lena, filled with malicious pleasure. "Do you think his death was just an accident?"

Lena and Pan Zhen's bodies jolted, their eyes flashing with disbelief as they stared intently at Nusa.

"My original target was only Pan Zhen!" Nusa laughed wildly. "Unfortunately, Di Tianlin sought his own death, insisting on taking that fatal blow for you! Tsk tsk, what a touching display of loyalty between ruler and subject! He died just like that, his death as light as a feather!"

"I'm going to kill you!!"

Pan Zhen and Lena roared simultaneously!

Pan Zhen's divine power surged wildly, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to rush forward without regard for anything!

The solar energy in Lena's hand burned fiercely, and her golden eyes were filled with boundless rage and killing intent!

However, after the anger came a deep sense of powerlessness.

As Nusa said, what they saw before them was nothing more than a copy. Even if they tore it to pieces and scattered its bones to ashes, what difference would it make?

It couldn't harm Nusa's true form in the slightest; instead, it seemed more like a display of impotent rage, only adding to the opponent's amusement.

"Angry? In pain? Ha ha ha ha!" Nusa laughed wildly, "But it's all meaningless! You will never be able to..."

Just then, Qin Chuan, who had been standing quietly to the side, suddenly spoke calmly, interrupting his clamor:

"Your reliance sounds familiar."

His voice was calm, yet strangely drowned out Nusa's maniacal laughter and the roar of energy.
