It's normal for an evil god to raise an Abyss.

Bubble just uttered a word softly and clasped his hands together.

The raging extinction storm that announced the end of the world suddenly and abnormally shrank into a column in front of everyone's surprised gazes, like a giant spear that pierced through the sky and earth and headed straight into the ground.

Bubble clenched his hands, as if holding a giant spear that pierced through the sky and earth, and tilted his head to look at the distant sky.

"Xiaoxue, you're a little slow~"

-------------------------------------

A planning meeting before the final battle begins.

"Even if we rule out the Dragon Spirit, according to the plan, the combined energy of [Void Zero Protection], [Marrow Explosion], and [Divine Strike] will become an uncontrollable vortex."

Einzig said the result of the calculation of the [Ex-Machina].

"If we focus the energy of that vortex, can we penetrate the star core directly and materialize the Star Cup?"

Xueyue tapped the table rhythmically with her knuckles.

"...Okay. But I have to stop..."

Einzig responded.

"We will solve this problem. There is another problem. With so many races present, how can we ensure that the Star Grail appears on our side?"

Xueyue went on to ask, this is a very crucial question, if you can't ensure that the [Star Cup] appears on your side, it would be like making wedding clothes for others, and everything would be out of the question.

"According to the intelligence, the Star Grail will prioritize the strongest forces and those who can control it. According to the calculation results of the existing intelligence, there is a 52% probability that it will appear in the hands of the God of War. He possesses that level of divine essence."

If we were to judge purely by strength, the most powerful might not necessarily be the [God of War], but we also have to consider that Xueyue and Paopao are [outsiders], and it is possible that the manifestation of the [Star Grail] is not taken into account. So if we exclude Artosh...

“Is there a plan to incapacitate Artosh without killing him?”

“Of course, if we strip Artosh’s Essence, we can do it. After the Essence is stripped, the Old Deus will be inactive for at least a hundred years. If we rule out this factor, the Star Grail will most likely appear next to Riku and Shuvi.”

"That's no problem~"

Xueyue nodded and then summarized the general plan.

The Ex-Machinas first used [Apocalypse: Sky Strike] to ignite the fuse of the war, then induced the various races to release attacks, and after using 32 [Access Controls] to form all the energy into a vortex, it was gathered by bubbles; while Xueyue stripped the essence of [God of War] Artosh, and after seeing the [Essence Stripping Light], she directed the gathered energy through the star core, and finally won the Star Cup. It was a perfect process.

"It's a perfect process, but it seems like Miss Xueyue and Miss Tavel are the ones trying to show off, right?"

Maybe because his symptoms had improved a little, Rick felt much better and was in the mood to joke.

"Hubby... agrees."

"Oh my, one of you nearly died while negotiating, and the other nearly killed himself while burying something. You two stupid couple, please give me some extra attention~"

Xueyue complained in a rude way.

"Or are you going to fight against that [God of War]? Houlou, you are also an Old Deus, why don't you go?"

"I don't want to have anything to do with that guy who only knows about [war]..."

Fanlou decisively turned his head to the other side.

"So..."

Xueyue's tone softened.

"Rick and Hubie, you've worked hard. Now it's our turn. Take a look at my weights and see how good they are~"

"Besides, God of War Artosh, since he is the God of War, he must be very strong and capable of fighting. I heard that he is the strongest person in the world. I am really looking forward to it~"

Xueyue's eyes were burning with the will to fight.

"I wonder if a duel with him will be enjoyable?"

When faced with an overwhelming force, isn't it that you think of actively challenging instead of avoiding or defending?

Looking at the surprise in everyone's eyes, Xueyue and Paopao seemed to enjoy such looks.

The stage (the place of the decisive battle) and the script (strategy) are already prepared, so let this damn war move to its final chapter!

Chapter 104 Star Cup

Enter Avant Heim, the Throne Room.

“After releasing Divine Strike, Artosh’s power is less than 12% of the normal level…? Huh, what an interesting miscalculation.”

Xueyue leaned on Levadin with her left hand and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her right hand. Her school uniform and black over-the-knee socks were damaged to varying degrees, and with the smoke and dust on her skin, she looked quite disheveled.

However, if we take into account that this was the damage Xueyue suffered when she defended against the [Divine Strike] and deflected it in the designated direction, considering this situation, the superficial injuries Xueyue suffered now can be said to be insignificant.

Xueyue certainly didn't care, and the fighting spirit in her eyes became even stronger.

"It makes sense that the strongest person whose reputation resounds throughout the three thousand worlds is facing off against the weakest person who is disdained by any race in the world."

Artosh said so, and stood up from the throne.

With just this movement, Artosh’s [mass] increased out of thin air.

No, it is not accurate to say it is [mass], and it is also not accurate to say it is [energy]. It is [existence] itself that is increasing out of thin air.

As if violating all basic laws of physics, a concept that encompasses the sky, the earth, and the world is gradually growing and becoming tangible.

"The so-called strongest is only the strongest because it is the strongest. What is the meaning of the increase or decrease of strength?"

In response to Xueyue's previous words, Artosh continued,

"Don't worry, the so-called strong is me, and the weak is everything except me."

The so-called [essence] is the [concept] of obtaining [self], which is the law of possessing will.

The God of War, as the strongest spirit, is just this kind of law that crushes all unreasonable things.

In a battle of this magnitude, the so-called [calculations] are meaningless. When facing [laws], just override them.

Under this unexpected situation, there is no option to simply disable the enemy instead of killing them.

Artosh declared with a voice that resounded across the continent:

"Come, my [Essence], tell the world the true meaning of war, my poor [Weakest]!"

Xueyue stood up with the help of Levatin, and her clothes changed into a black dress with some armor on the chest and abdomen, and ribbons hanging on her wrists and legs. Her ankles and feet were half-wrapped with tentacle-like bandages, revealing her toes.

Xueyue will adjust her strength according to the strength of the enemy, and the current situation obviously requires releasing more power to deal with it.

"I hope the [Strongest] in this world can make me happy..."

Xueyue made a sword flower and pointed the tip of the sword at Artosh again.

Levatin seemed to have sensed Xueyue's supreme fighting spirit and burst out with unparalleled flames like a star.

The fist of the god of war and the sword that symbolizes destruction instantly crossed the space and collided violently.

The next moment, the throne room began to shake. No, that’s not right. Not just this room, but the entire Avant Heim shook, with echoes that spread between heaven and earth.

Every collision between fist and sword is a simple attack and defense, but such a simple and pure collision of power is enough to overturn the heaven and earth.

At last……

A voice spread out, transforming into a vibration that shook the planet:

"Heaven, earth, and all things in time, listen carefully—"

Such a commanding voice, an absolute voice that befits the strongest Old Deus,

"This is defeat... I see. This is indeed an exciting and enjoyable battle."

Riku and Hubie were outside the cave, looking into the distance at the white light that filled the red sky. Perhaps, that was the signal that the essence of the Old God Artosh had been successfully stripped away.

Bubble naturally also saw the light, but he just lowered his clenched hands.

The columnar energy torrent pierced into the earth like a needle, moving downwards, eventually penetrating the core of the planet and even destroying the Elf Corridor.

These happened in just a moment.

The next second, the entire earth's crust was lifted up, and the originally solid earth was now surging like waves, and the source current of the Elf Corridor erupted from the pierced star core.

And a few meters away from Rick and Hubie, something was taking shape.

It was a polyhedron with a pentagram appearing like the light itself, a star-shaped regular dodecahedron - the [Star Cup].

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Rick stretched out his hand to touch the Star Cup, he heard a voice stopping him and his hand was pressed down.

Following the line of sight, I saw the familiar figure of the girl.

"Humans do not yet belong to any race. You cannot withstand the power of the Star Grail."

After the [Star Cup] appeared, Xueyue immediately realized that the current [human beings] were not qualified to use the [Star Cup].

What an ironic joke! Even if humans achieve the final victory, are they still not qualified to pick up the trophy?

"Then, Miss Xueyue, you will [represent] humanity and raise the Star Cup."

In Rick and Hubie's minds, they thought there was nothing wrong with letting Xueyue win the Star Cup. Rather, with her achievements and strength, winning the Star Cup was a more reasonable choice.

However, Xueyue just smiled and shook her head:

"Although the Star Cup is somewhat attractive to me, I don't want to keep it all to myself~ It doesn't matter, there is a more suitable candidate."

It seemed that as Xueyue spoke, a figure in the void gradually solidified.

With the world as the chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces, this [game] can be said to be a substantial victory. Then, the [essence] of the [game] - the God of Games, can naturally be activated and manifested.

However, when Xueyue saw the true appearance of the [God of Games], she was a little stunned.

The pupils of her eyes have patterns of diamonds and spades respectively, and the hair is golden, all of these are fine, but... why is it a girl with medium-length hair?

Xueyue remembered that Tetu should have been a teenager originally. Could it be that because of her intervention, Tetu's appearance was also affected accordingly?

However, Xueyue didn't dwell on this matter too much. On the one hand, the golden-haired girl was quite cute. On the other hand, there were more important things to do now.

Xueyue and Tetu overlapped their hands and held up the [Star Cup].

The next moment, light enveloped the world.

The light spreading from far away dyed the red sky and blue earth white, taking away the boundary between heaven and earth.

When the light stops, the world loses its color.

The ash dancing in the sky stayed in the air, and all non-living things stopped.

All living things were somewhat bewildered by this scene. After a few moments, a shock enveloped the entire world.

Chapter 105 Covenant and Questions and Answers

Hubie.jpg

This impact did not bring destruction, but a gentle power, as if licking every corner of the world.

At the same time, people looking up at the sky opened their eyes wide in shock. Faced with this extraordinary scene, all creatures and all races could only stare at it in confusion.

The black ash that covered the red sky disappeared into thin air as if blown away by a gust of wind. The sky turned blue again, and the destroyed mountains and land returned to their original appearance as if time had gone back.

The world is reshaped by the power of the [Star Grail].

On the reborn planet, above the grassland, under the blue sky and bright sunshine, Xueyue and Tetu, floating in the air, raised the [Star Cup].

Then, their voices spread throughout the world:

"In this protracted war, you have used all your strength, violence, force, and death to build the Tower of Corpses. You creatures who claim to have wisdom, answer me, what is the difference between you and the beasts without wisdom?"

Of course, I didn't get an answer, but that doesn't matter.

"In order to end this war forever and ensure that there will never be another war of this magnitude, we hereby establish the [Ten Articles of Covenant]:"

"【1】This world prohibits all killing, war and plunder;"

"【二】All disputes shall be settled through a game;"

"【三】The game requires a bet that both parties consider equal;"

"[4] Without violating Article 3, there are no restrictions on game content or bets;"

"【五】The challenged party has the right to decide the content of the game;"

"【Six】The bet made by 'swearing to the covenant' must be kept absolutely;"
