"Nothingness? This Star God... I don't think I've heard of it before?"
Inside the Momang Palace, Leosli was sitting in Villette's office, holding a cup of black tea and gently stirring the tea spoon. "Villette, do you still remember me?"
Even in the locust plague of the universe, nothingness is a strange and unmentioned name.
"I have some impression of him, but can Xuwu really be considered a Star God?"
In Navillatte's understanding, in addition to the power to control a fate, the Star God also has another point, as Kafka said - the Star God can be killed, but the Star God who controls the fate of [Nothingness]... Navillatte can only recall the black hole that almost swallowed everything in the dance between the black swan and Huang Quan.
Assuming that the black hole can be considered a star god, how can it be killed?
"And from what the old man said, the Fate of Nothingness is quite different from the Hunting and Destruction realms... He will not actively bestow His power upon others, allowing them to become Messengers. Instead, He allows humans to walk the Fate of Nothingness on their own. The further one walks, the more power they will gain... but at the same time, they will also be more deeply eroded by Nothingness."
Leosli narrowed his eyes and lowered his head in thought. "...Since Huang Quan has never been even glanced at by the Star God of Nothingness, can she truly be considered a Commander? Or is she simply a traveler who has traveled far enough on the path of destiny...but due to the unique nature of the Void Fate itself, she has gained the power of a Commander?"

"The moment Sha Jin raised his hand, countless chips poured down like divine punishment, like a golden rainstorm. These chips continuously smashed down all the buildings, and many even headed straight for the train crew."
"Jizi and Walter instinctively stepped forward to block, but Huang Quan had already walked in front of them without them knowing."
""despair.""
"The soft sound of a heel landing on the ground seemed remarkably crisp amidst the roar of the rainstorm, as if for a moment the entire world had fallen silent, leaving only a single white piece quietly settling amidst the clamor of black pieces on the board."
"From that point, an indescribable darkness began to spread and engulf the surroundings."
"The falling chips suddenly stopped, the torrential rain froze in mid-air, and the stunned expressions of the train crew were like insects trapped in amber, even the quivering of their eyelashes was clearly visible."
"In this realm of absolute silence, only Huang Quan is still moving."
"Her fingertips were first stained with blood, then it gradually spread from her fingers, like cinnabar smudged on rice paper, and in an instant it engulfed her entire arm. Her hair also began to fade until she became completely pale."
"A tear of blood spilled from the corner of her eye and slowly slid down her cheek."
““I weep for the dead, my tears fall like rain, filling the river…””
Chapter 416 Pinocchio (Ninety-seven)
"In a trance, [Nothingness] seemed to blur the boundaries of time."
"Otherwise, how could she have seen the girl in the kimono?"
"Her plain white undergarment, soaked by the rain, clung tightly to her frail frame. She stood quietly in the middle of the wasteland, the katana behind her, longer than a person, gleaming bluish-gray in the rain."
"And in front of her—"
"Countless swords were stabbed diagonally into the earth, some broken and some tattered, like the final tombstones of the dead."
"With a soft sigh, Huang Quan slowly drew out the sword in his hand."
“…like a tide, it will lead you home.”
-
One Piece.
White.
This is the only color left in the world.
Mihawk slowly opened his eyes, only to be met with an endless expanse of pale white. There was no boundary between the sky and the ground, no play of light and shadow, and even the ground beneath his feet was hard to tell.
He remembered that he had just been on the deck watching the sky with Crocodile, and happened to see the scene of Huang Quan drawing his sword... But for some reason, in almost a second, he came to this strange space.
"Is this some kind of hallucination? Or... am I dead?"
He instinctively reached out to touch his neck, but there was no wound there. Not only that, he didn't even feel a trace of pain. He was still wearing his iconic shirt, trousers and knee-high leather boots, and the cross knife on his chest was still hanging in place.
But the strange thing was that his whole body seemed to have been bleached, all the colors disappeared, leaving only a monotonous white.
"Is this heaven?" He snorted coldly, "If it is, it would be too boring."
He tried to move his fingers and touched the handle of the "Night" behind him - the familiar cold touch made him sure that he was not in an illusion.
...But where could it be?
Just as he was about to draw his sword to test this space, a ripple suddenly appeared on the "horizon" in the distance.
It was a shade of gray, slightly darker than pale white, spreading slowly like ink dropped into clear water. Mihawk narrowed his eyes, watching the gray gradually spread, changing into more layers - first a light blue like mist, then indigo, and finally returning to the azure blue that the ocean should have.
The return of color was like a film played in reverse, sweeping in from far away and then near. Mihawk watched as his black sword first returned to its original color, followed by his clothes. Burgundy patterns appeared on his shirt, and the cross-shaped knife began to shine with its metallic luster again.
As the color spread across his skin, Mihawk finally felt a gentle breeze brushing his cheeks. He looked up, and the pale "sky" had returned to normal, with a few white clouds floating leisurely in it.
"Hey! Hawkeye!"
Crocodile's slightly hoarse voice came from behind him. Mihawk turned around and saw him sitting on the deck with sweat all over his forehead. The golden hooks were deeply embedded in the wooden board, as if to stabilize his body in the recent incident.
"You just saw it, right?"
"That white thing..." Crocodile took a deep breath, "...it appeared after that woman drew her sword. You can guess what it is without me telling you, right?"
"nothingness."
"Damn it," Crocodile couldn't help but curse. "How long has it been? One minute? Ten minutes? The moment that woman drew her sword, the entire world was swallowed up by nothingness... How far has she gone on this damned path?"

Dragon clan.
When the colors in his vision returned to normal, Chu Zihang subconsciously looked at Caesar beside him.
From the other party's confused and shocked eyes, he quickly realized that the development of the matter far exceeded his expectations - he thought he would see a hearty fight between the emissaries, but he did not expect that just by Huang Quan pulling out the weapon, the power of nothingness and destiny contained in it would affect those who were watching the battle.
"boom!"
The sound of car collisions could be heard from outside Takama-ga-hara. Chu Zihang and Caesar quickly ran out of the host club and saw that the streets and alleys were full of car accidents and people were wailing and suffering.
"This..." Caesar was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.
"Maybe in those tens of seconds when we were deprived of color, time in reality did not stop flowing, but for the drivers of these vehicles... tens of seconds are enough to cause a car accident." Chu Zihang said.
"...Isn't this the same disaster as the last time Huanlong crushed the stars?"
"It's different." Chu Zihang shook his head and denied it. "This time, there is no [Abundance] power emitted by Jianmu to heal our wounds."

"Yellow Spring's blade effortlessly cuts through the void."
"At first, it seemed to be just a bloody mark left by the broken Pinocchio, but the moment it was unsheathed, it transformed into a crimson crescent. Wherever the blade passed, space was neatly cut like fragile silk, revealing the pure white nothingness surging behind it—"
"Then, everything was swallowed up by nothingness."

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
Tanjiro's heart was in his throat. He stared at the sky, not daring to move his eyes even a little.
but--
He only felt a flash before his eyes, and a thin and bright light burst out in the extremely depressing wind and rain waterfall, streaking out extremely quickly and sharply, like a red lightning, and finally heading towards the chips that covered the sky and the sun, and the gold sand that was about to destroy everything!
——Huang Quan took action!
——She finally drew her sword!
Tanjiro almost cheered.
In his heart, he had already tied himself to the train set. He also longed to see Huang Quan draw his sword!
The "wind and rain" suddenly ceased, but not only did the wind and rain vanish, but also the colors. Tanjiro rubbed his eyes, suspecting something was wrong with his vision. This sensation lasted for about twenty seconds, and just as he was beginning to get nervous, the colors in his vision began to gradually return.
—The clouds drifted across the sky, and finally, a sliver of moonlight appeared. Within that faint ray of light, Tanjiro could only see Miss Yomi standing alone.
She put away the knife very gently.
But the moment the blade's hilt met the scabbard's mouth, the last stagnant raindrops crashed down. Thousands of raindrops simultaneously slammed into the ground, creating countless craters in the stagnant water. The world, frozen just moments ago, suddenly heard a sound—the crisp thud of raindrops hitting the metal billboards, the rhythmic patter of raindrops against her skin...
Time began to flow again, and the pale Pinot Grigio finally regained its former color.
Tanjiro's eyes widened.
Because he saw that the sky was broken - no, it was not broken, but a long crack appeared in the sky of Pinocchio in the sky - the clouds tens of thousands of meters high were neatly split into two, revealing the deep void behind it.
Only then did he realize that there was something like a barrier covering the sky above Pinocchio - but unfortunately, that thing was also chopped into pieces by Huang Quan's sword, and heavy rain poured in through the gap, forcing pedestrians to hide under the billboards to avoid the rain.
"That knife strike just now...seemed to have released something that swallowed us all."
"Is that nothingness? Is it the result of Miss Huang Quan's fate? Fortunately..."
Tanjiro finally came back to his senses from his shock and looked at Zenitsu and Inosuke beside him, but the two of them were huddled in the corner, trembling.
"T-Tanjiro...!"
Zenitsu was so frightened that his face turned pale. He held Inosuke tightly and said, "What on earth was that? I almost thought I was blind! Ahhhh, don't make it so scary!!"
Chapter 417 Pinocchio (Ninety-eight)
Honkai Impact 3rd.
Pupil earthquake.
The ice cream in Kiana's hand fell to the ground with a "pop", but she was completely unaware of it.
It was not until the color in the sky that had been swallowed by nothingness returned and heavy rain poured down that the girl's blue pupils finally recovered from the earthquake.
"Mei Mei!" She suddenly grabbed the girl's shoulders and shook her wildly. "Did you see that? Just now... she split the sky of Pinocchio in two with one knife! And, that white one..."
Kiana was momentarily speechless, her heart shuddering at the thought of the moment she'd just been swallowed by the void. She'd never forget the image of the world being blotted out, like... the Earth being swallowed by some gigantic creature.
"This is nothingness..." Jizi picked up the coffee on the table and realized that her hands were still shaking uncontrollably. She had just been drinking coffee when she saw Huang Quan draw his sword, but with just a blink of an eye, the cup in her hand and the world around her turned completely white.
She was so shocked that she almost spit out her mouth.
Although she was mentally prepared, the shock was still too great for her.
"Hey, hey, isn't this too unfair?"
After recovering from her shock, Bronya grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Why is Mei's counterpart so powerful? Just by drawing a sword, it can affect us?! This is unfair!"
"Ahhh, when will Silver Wolf be able to achieve such a record? The Commander is so unfair, it's simply a cheat!"
……
And on the other side, the paradise of afterlife.
"Oh my, such a beautiful girl, yet her moves are so fierce, it really makes my heart beat faster~"
Alicia held her chin and blinked her blue eyes. Even though she had just experienced such a terrible scene, the girl still maintained a bright smile.
However, Qianjie and Kevin, who were sitting opposite her, were obviously not so calm. Although both of them had seen big scenes, when they were swallowed by the nothingness, the weird and strange scene still controlled them for dozens of seconds.
It was not until Huang Quan sheathed his sword and everything returned to normal that Qianjie gradually calmed down.
Qianjie crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "A racing heart? If a woman were to strike us on Earth, it would be questionable whether humanity would still have a heartbeat. This is a dream protected by Harmony, and she split it open so easily..."
"I thought you would be more surprised?" Alicia smiled gently.
"I'm already very surprised, at least more surprised than seeing this guy here." Qianjie turned his head to glance at Kevin beside him. Fifty thousand years have passed, and this guy seems to have become even more taciturn.
"Kevin came to Paradise - I originally wanted to notify everyone to gather in the conference room and chat. Come to think of it, we haven't gathered together for a long time? But we happened to meet Huang Quan Ba Dao, oh... should I say it's a coincidence or a coincidence?" The pink-haired girl showed a distressed expression.
"There's no rush. I'll come here often in the future, and there will always be opportunities to meet you all. After all, [Destiny] seems to be something more worthy of attention than Honkai."
Kevin spoke slowly, "That white world just now not only affected the Paradise of the Past, it even affected my memories... This shows that within the concept of 'Nothingness', there is nothing that cannot be swallowed up."
"The key is the knife." Qianjie added.
Kevin nodded. "Well, that knife... seems to be some kind of 'container' that holds nothingness. When she draws the knife, the nothingness will uncontrollably swallow everything until she sheathes the knife."
