Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

The girl, who had maintained a playful smile, finally showed a hint of genuine surprise in her pure black eyes.

"Oh? To be able to unleash Exodia's power to this extent..."

She murmured to herself, and then that surprise was replaced by a deeper, almost pleasurable interest.

"Unfortunately, you're facing me, not that idiot Capak Ap."

Faced with an attack that threatened the "Seed of God," the girl neither chose to withstand it nor panicked. She simply raised her hands gracefully, palms facing upwards, as if asking the world for offerings.

In an instant, the very foundation of Tian Shu City was shaken!

The earth lost its fertility, instantly turning into sand and cracking; rivers lost their vitality, turning into dry and lifeless ravines; the lights of thousands of homes and the flames of industry were extinguished completely at the same moment, as if the very concept of fire itself had been forcibly stripped away.

Earth, water, and fire—the three fundamental elements that constitute the material world—are forcibly extracted and gathered from every corner of this city by an absolute authority that transcends mortal understanding!

The purest streams of red, yellow, and blue light swirled and compressed wildly in front of her, eventually coalescing into a second object—the Elemental Heart—that radiated a magnificent three-colored light and was no less large than the black heart!

This is His true power! The king who wields the power over the three elements of earth, water, and fire!

Earthbound God Veracocha Raska!

Two enormous hearts beat slowly in the air, one as black as eternal night, exuding the deathly stillness of the underworld.

A three-colored shimmering disc, reflecting the essence of the elements.

Destructive energy is accumulating within, and the impending collision will determine the ultimate fate of this city!

The operation of divine authority, though seemingly complex, is actually decided in the blink of an eye.

Exodia's giant fist, burning with golden void fire, crashed down with the power to annihilate everything!

With a deep, resounding roar that seemed to come from the depths of the earth, the black rock heart that symbolized the coordinates of the underworld exploded under the supreme power of the law, turning into dust that dissipated into the sky.

However, the fleeting sense of relief that had just appeared on Mo Tieshan and Ling Zhiyong's faces froze and shattered in an instant before it could spread!

To their utter astonishment, high above, at the remains of the recently destroyed Elemental Heart, space itself twisted and rippled violently, like the surface of water tossed with a stone.

Immediately afterwards, a pitch-black rock heart, identical to the previous one and even exuding an even stronger ominous aura, materialized out of thin air and reappeared!

It hovered silently above the huge void crater created by the previous shockwave, like a scar that would never heal.

Each heavy, slow throb was more powerful than the last, and the spreading dark purple energy ripples became deeper and more viscous.

The ripples swept silently across the city below, leaving the steel dull and covered in a layer of decay.

The cement floor cracked rapidly and turned into powder;

The last remaining greenery withered instantly, turning to ashes—the vitality of the entire city is being devoured by this evil heart at an even faster pace and with a more greedy attitude!

The girl in mid-air watched this scene with satisfaction. She gracefully opened her arms, tilted her head slightly, and closed her eyes, as if listening to a symphony of death with the wails of the entire city as notes and the withering of all things as melody.

"How is this possible... there's a second one?!"

Mo Tieshan's voice trembled with extreme shock; he had never expected his opponent to have such a bizarre backup plan.

He turned his head sharply and looked at Ling Zhiyong beside him.

At this moment, Ling Zhiyong's body was like a candle flickering in the wind. His once upright body was now hunched over, his hair had turned completely withered and gray, and he could barely stand. He was panting heavily, and his life force was extremely weak.

Seeing his best friend in this state, and feeling the increasingly ethereal figure of Exodia due to excessive power consumption, Mo Tieshan's heart sank completely into an abyss of cold despair.

He knew that they... were powerless to reverse the situation.

"That is……"

"The sealed Exodia..."

Chen Yuexi and Chen Yuan, who were anxiously evacuating the crowd, froze as if they had been frozen in place when they saw the towering, dark brown giant.

They looked up, staring blankly at the figure radiating supreme majesty high in the sky, their emotions churning violently like boiling magma—from initial shock and bewilderment, quickly transforming into an unforgettable and overwhelming hatred!

In an instant, Chen Yuan recalled his past memories, flashing back to the story he had told You Yang about his parents being brutally murdered by cult members!

An uncontrollable rage erupted in his chest like a volcano. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, and bright red blood dripped from between his fingers.

At the same time, a black flame, like a leech, surged uncontrollably from his body, scorching and distorting the air around him, and causing the ground to sizzle.

"Are you kidding me!"

"What a joke!!!"

That hypocritical mayor! That highly respected Elder Mo!

He was actually the murderer of their parents! The culprit who caused their family to be destroyed, their homelessness, and their sister's current physical condition!

Kill them!

They must be... torn to pieces!!!

"It was them...they killed Mom and Dad...it was them..."

At this moment, Chen Yuexi's taut nerve finally snapped completely.

Her knees buckled, and she collapsed to her knees, clutching her trembling body tightly with both hands.

It's as if they're trying to shrink themselves into a non-existent protective shell.

Her eyes were vacant, tears streamed down her face silently like beads from a broken string, and she murmured broken sentences over and over again.

A dark, eerie light, purer and more immense than that emanating from Chen Yuan, filled with despair and sorrow, erupted from her center, forming a visible dark vortex that absorbed the surrounding light!

She huddled there, her figure appearing so small, pitiful, and helpless.

Liu Zi, standing beside her, stared blankly at the scene, and could only cast a helpless and pleading look at You Yang not far away.

"This is... a sign of the elf's backlash, a sign that it's about to completely spiral out of control!"

Tiandao Lian's expression suddenly became extremely solemn as he looked at the chaotic aura emanating from the brother and sister, which was about to resonate with the surrounding evil domain and go berserk.

He knew very well that if he allowed these two to be consumed by hatred and sorrow, the passage to the elven realm connected to them would be completely opened. At that time, two complete elven realms filled with negative emotions would descend upon this place, creating a chain reaction with the power of the Earthbound God, with unimaginable consequences!

The moment he finished speaking, You Yang's figure shot out like a ghost!

In a flash, he arrived in front of Chen Yuan, whose body was trembling violently due to extreme anger and who was on the verge of losing control.

Without the slightest hesitation, You Yang delivered a fierce whip kick that swept heavily across Chen Yuan's side, sending him crashing to the ground!

"Calm down!" You Yang's voice was like a thunderclap, exploding in Chen Yuan's chaotic mind.

"Look at Yuexi! Don't forget, your most important identity right now is that of her brother!"

The excruciating pain from that kick and that sharp shout were like ice water poured over his head, causing the madness and turbidity in Chen Yuan's bloodshot eyes to subside slightly.

He raised his head blankly, his gaze passing over You Yang and landing on his younger sister, who was huddled in the dark vortex not far away, shivering.

Seeing his sister's agonizing appearance, as if she were about to be swallowed by endless darkness, Chen Yuan's overwhelming hatred was torn open, and what surged out was an even stronger surge of heartache and panic.

The confusion in his eyes quickly faded, replaced by the sense of responsibility and protectiveness of an older brother.

Chen Yuan struggled to get up from the ground, ignoring the pain in his body, and staggered towards Chen Yuexi, wanting to pull her back from that abyss of despair.

However, at this very moment—

The girl high above, seemingly having finally had enough of the despairing drama unfolding below, spoke softly once more. Her sweet voice held an undisguised joy and excitement at achieving her ultimate goal.

"The anchor point is secured, and the offerings are sufficient..."

"Then, it is time for you to behold... my true form."

Her voice was like the pronouncement of final judgment.

As she clenched her fist, the heart of that enormous rock suspended in mid-air jolted violently!

The frequency of the pulse suddenly increased to a terrifying speed, as if war drums were beating!

Immediately afterwards, a dark purple ripple, thicker and more viscous than ever before, seemingly condensing the desperate cries of countless living beings, spread outwards from the heart like a death tide!

This time, the ripples carried a clearly discernible, greedy, and evil "will"!

The ripples, like an invisible scythe of death, swept across the nearby residential buildings where a few lights still shone.

The next second, a chilling and terrifying scene unfolded.

Chapter 164 The Vanishing Exodia, the Complete Descendance of the Evil God!

A middle-aged man, who had just been awakened by a strange noise and was peering out the window with a look of terror on his face, suddenly froze!

Immediately afterwards, a sickly, ghostly purple light burst forth from his chest without warning!

His body became translucent at a visible speed, his skin and muscles melting away like a wax figure, revealing the bones and internal organs beneath. But soon, these organs also began to rapidly fade and dissolve!

"Uh... ah..."

He opened his mouth in vain, trying to let out a dying scream, but his throat seemed to be tightly choked by an invisible force, and he could only squeeze out a few broken breaths.

In the end, his human form completely collapsed, transforming into a pure purple energy stream filled with fear and the essence of life. Like a particle of light attracted by a black hole, it shot uncontrollably into the sky and was instantly devoured by that pulsating evil heart!

And this was merely the beginning of a grand sacrifice. Similar scenes unfolded one after another within the area swept by the ripples!

"Oh no! He is forcibly draining the life force of living beings as the final 'fuel'; His true form is about to descend completely!"

Witnessing this scene resembling divine punishment, Tiandao Lian instantly understood the Earthbound God's intention. A chill ran from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head!

The world recorded in our family records has actually happened!

Before he could even mount any defense or counterattack, the death ripple that had devoured countless lives was already sweeping towards their location like a tsunami!

The speed was so fast that it far exceeded the reaction limit!

Tiandao Lian had no time to summon any monsters. He could only rely on his instincts to cross his arms tightly in front of his chest, trying to withstand the attack that contained the authority of the gods!

You Yang, who had rushed to Chen Yuexi and was about to wake her up physically, saw the death ripples approaching and had no time to think!

He suddenly turned around and tightly shielded Chen Yuexi, who was dazed and curled up on the ground, with his back.

At the same time, he stretched out his other hand with all his might and grabbed Chen Yuan, who was staggering and rushing towards him from behind!

You Yang remembered that the power of the red dragon seemed to have a natural resistance to, or even immunity to, life-devouring beams of light from the Earthbound God.

But Chen Yuan's position was just outside the range that his arm could reach!

That short arm's length distance, at this moment, seemed to have transformed into an insurmountable chasm, separating the boundary between life and death!

Chen Yuan looked at You Yang's outstretched hand, at his sister so close to him, his eyes filled with resentment and despair. He desperately reached forward, his fingertips almost touching You Yang's...

The dark purple ripple that represented death had mercilessly swallowed his figure.
