Inner Destroyer

　With the help of this magic weapon, Qi Xing channeled and injected all his remaining willpower.

　The roar of thunder, the burning sun fire, and the golden lightning split the sky, exploding an unparalleled impact, like an electric current passing through metal and passing along the ancient spear head. The erupting fireball was brighter than anything in the world.

　Then the light faded.

　The spear blade slid out and the demon fell.

　Then the world collapsed.

　The entire "inner world" exploded with thunder.

　-

　outside world.

　The cruise ship "Sky-Breaking Giant Love", which existed in two world phases at the same time, also exploded in the collapse of the "inner world".

　The fireball ignited by the explosion on the sea surface was even larger than an ordinary nuclear explosion.

　Of course, all the rescued people on board had been towed away via the portal. The explosion had no significant impact other than the inevitable property damage.

　Having said that, Sister Elaine, who saw the cruise ship explosion from a great distance, still looked desperate.

　The inner world collapsed and exploded, which meant Qi Xing hadn't lost to the devil. He had won, or even perished together, but at least he hadn't fallen.

　Nor did he fall into the hands of the devil and be subjected to endless torture, endless ultimate humiliation, and even his soul was toyed with.

　At least being able to die peacefully is a good thing?

　But is this really enough?

　Elaine really couldn't accept this ending.

　"Have mercy on him, O God, according to your lovingkindness; watch over him according to the greatness of your kindness..."

　Even though her lips were dry, she continued to pray for Qi Xing.

　"Please open to us the door of mercy. Putting our hope in you, we will not perish; through you, we will be freed from suffering."

　Qi Xing...Are you really going to die like this?

　Is this the last battle, the last adventure of your life?

　She doesn't believe it.

　-

　The "Inner World" is located in a dimension deeper than the human material world.

　Located between the "dream of all beings" of all mankind and the material world.

　In other words, if the material world is compared to "air" and the collective unconscious of human beings is compared to the "ocean", then the "inner world" is the bubbles floating in the ocean, rising and falling.

　If the "inner world" suddenly collapses and breaks, the people and things inside will of course be thrown into the sea and dissolve and disappear in the "collapse ocean".

　Qi Xing suddenly opened his eyes, as if waking from a dream, and looked around.

　Cold and darkness lingered around him, as if he were slowly sinking into the murky depths of the ocean. In the dead silence of the water, only specks of blood shone around him, floating in the current.

47

　Oh, no, he was wrong.

　Besides him, there is another person here.

　"Woo, woo woo..."

　The shadow of the Loli Evil God floats up and down in the sea.

　You, the evil god, can't you swim? Are you kidding me?

　Qi Xing was about to laugh at her when he reached out and pawed in the water, only to find it offered no buoyancy at all. Swimming was useless, and he was sinking rapidly towards the bottom.

　Fly? Qi Xing wouldn't be able to fly. This is the "dream of all living things," humanity's collective unconscious, and it won't tolerate a mere earthly immortal like you trying to soar through the air.

　"I've been tricked by an alien again..."

　Samael, sinking in the sea, uttered a sob of extreme pain.

　"Only the soul comes in and is then reborn into a physical body in this world? Damn, since the material is the same, I didn't really look at it carefully..."

　She wasn't dead yet, her incarnation hadn't dissipated. Something that perished simply from a pierced throat or head was unworthy of being called a "god." Only those possessing unrestricted, even nearly infinite, omnipotence could truly be called a true god.

　Therefore, her power cannot be measured by common sense. Even if she only has one finger left, she can still exert the authority and power of a god.

　So now, she is crying.

　She was angry, even gritting her teeth and shaking with anger, and glared at Qi Xing with her golden eyes, very fiercely.

　(Outsider?)

　Qi Xing had never heard anyone call him that. It was so strange. But he wasn't stupid, so he could guess what Samael meant.

　"Yes, I am a time traveler."

　There was nothing to hide at this point, so he honestly admitted,

　"It's better to lose to a time traveler than to someone from this world, right? It's better for your self-esteem."

　This made Samael so angry that he almost fainted. What was even more tragic was that Qi Xing was right.

　After two thousand years, losing to foreign visitors from the upper universe again is better than losing to the humans created by oneself.

　"Huh... hehe... hahaha... hahaha! Okay!"

　So, after a while, Samael finally smiled.

　She had just been defeated in a comeback victory five minutes ago and was stabbed hard by Qi Xing with a gun, but her ability to change her mood and cheer up was really admirable.

　"Hahaha! Okay, Qi Xing, you win this time! I never thought there would be such a human being!"

　She moved around in the water meaninglessly, and put her hands on her hips unnecessarily. For a moment, a hearty laugh filled the dreams of all living things, as if the devil was sneering at the whole world.

　However, this was also the first time that Samael actually said Qi Xing's name in their conversation.

　"You're just digging your own grave."

　Qi Xing complained coldly,

　"If you hadn't played the role of Isis and tied your own hands and feet, I wouldn't have been able to pierce you with the holy spear. You're just shooting yourself in the foot."

　"Then again, your real body will be fine anyway. I'll just melt into the Disintegration Form, so I can't really be considered a winner."

　He successfully saved about 2,000 innocent citizens, and most importantly, he saved his teammates, preventing his worst fear from happening. So Qi Xing could reluctantly accept this outcome.

　But to ask whether he was particularly satisfied with this ending—that was nonsense. How could he be satisfied?

　His ambitions have not yet been realized, his goals have not yet been achieved.

　Qi Xing sighed. He'd fought the most terrifying battle of his life against the devil, and this wasn't a bad way to die...

　"Who said you'd melt?"

　Samael raised his eyebrows.

　"How could a foreigner's soul possibly dissolve into the 'dream of all living things' of my world? You are an alien."

　"what?"

　After being stunned for two seconds, Qi Xing waved his arms and legs again, trying to flap in the water, trying to swim upstream - but it was no use, he was still sinking deeper into the sea of ​​unconsciousness, into the pitch-black silence.

　"Even though it won't melt, you can't get out of it yourself. It's like throwing a gold brick into the ocean of the material world."

　The Loli Evil God was amused by his futile efforts.

　"You just can't melt. It's impossible for one person's will to overwhelm the subconscious of eight billion people."

　Similarly, no magical powers or spells are effective in this "Disintegration Ocean." Unless you can single-handedly defeat the will of all humanity, Qi Xing clearly can't do that, at least not yet.

　"Am I going to remain submerged in this empty sea, unable to live or die, forever?"

　Qi Xing was really frightened now.

　"It would be better for me to die! Goo, kill me!"

　Samael added fuel to the fire: "You can still make a wish to me."

　For a moment, Qi Xing was truly shaken. After all, if he really stayed in this empty, dark sea for a few weeks, he would surely go mad sooner or later.

　Fortunately, at least there was a talking devil next to him.

　Fortunately, the devil didn't keep nagging in his ears, instigating him to sign contracts and make wishes.

　Not long after, she stretched and said to Qi Xing, "Come with me. As a reward for the winner, I'll take you to see something interesting."

　"How do I know you're not trying to trick me?"

　"Since you are a time traveler and have just defeated me, I allow you to question my wisdom."

　The evil god sneered, raising the corner of his mouth in disdain.

48

　But I have never stooped to shamelessness. Come with me."

　After saying that, she took Qi Xing's hand and led him to swim towards the depths of the "Dream of All Beings", into the unfathomable darkness.

　In an instant, the scene around them changed again, and their vision was filled with horrifying colors.

　For some reason, this originally dark, silent, and blue ocean of human collective unconsciousness is filled with a terrifying, disgusting white color like rotten milk.

　The fetid white formed a vortex, swirling and swirling in the "dream of all living things" like a bruise. The strange colors continued to spread and twist into terrifying shapes, like crazed faces and tentacles with mouths. The disgusting and filthy white almost swallowed them.

　It is indulgence and malice, corruption and depravity.

　But Samael waved his hand to flick away the fallen tentacles, and pulled Qi Xing to continue swimming deeper, downward, towards a place deeper than the collective unconscious of mankind, diving all the way deep!

　In a flash, they were across the sea!

　What did Qi Xing expect to see on the other side of the sea? Anything was possible. Everything. But—no attack, no ambush. If this was a trap, it was a strange, perhaps crude, one.

　Suddenly, he found something in front of him, and it was so huge that Qi Xing felt dizzy.

　It was a machine that towered over the heavens. A massive machine. Nothing Qi Xing had ever seen in his life could compare to this magnificent machine.

　It was beyond words, even leaving him speechless, its immensity beyond scale and dimension, brilliant yet immobilizing, majestic yet terrifying.

　Countless stars revolved ceaselessly within this vast machine. Within it, countless rapidly rotating wheels and spindles of gold, silver, iron, and tin whirled, and floating crystal-like matrices swirled. Some resembled gears burning with the sun's flames, while others were indescribable webs of flowing energy.

　These gears and strings vibrated, resonated, played in unison, chased each other, and blended with each other, playing incredible music like a choir, like the chorus of billions of people. That music flew out of the earth, leaped out of the solar system, to the edge of the infinitely expanding universe, and penetrated the entire universe.

　It's beautiful.

　But within that beautiful symphony there is a flaw, a crack, a fault, some unignorable noise...

　Everyone wakes up. At the end of the world, on the other side of the "dream of all living things", at the bottom of the universe, what they see is actually a huge broken music box.

　Atop the music box sits a seat, a black throne nestled in the dust of shattered dreams.

　On the Black Throne sat a lifeless corpse, an eternal emperor with unlimited power, the creator of the universe.

　A golden fetter bound her to the throne, bringing a sense of prisoner's desolation, but also added a touch of color to her beauty, a goddess-like divinity. In just a moment, her beauty captured Qi Xing's gaze.

　"Welcome to my world, stranger."

　Then, that thing, Samael on the throne, spoke to Qi Xing,

　“Do you have a lot of opinions about it?”

　020: Baka Persona

　Opinion?

　Qi Xing certainly has a lot of opinions about this fucking Slaanesh quagmire world!

　But he now has more questions.

　Upon the Black Throne sits an Eternal Emperor of unlimited power.

　Using the countable quantifier "one" to describe it is probably not accurate enough. Because it is both an individual and everything in the universe, and at the same time, it is also an individual formed by everything, so there is no need to count it one by one.

　She is the dark lord of all things and claims to be the creator of the entire universe.

　But at the same time, she was a lifeless corpse, an incorruptible corpse god, even more powerless than a paralyzed person.
