【Echoes of Lament (Level 5 Overlord)】

[Race: Cursed Life]

Basic Attributes: Strength: 0, Agility: 110, Constitution: 0, Spirit: 179

The Echoing Lament has no body, so it has neither constitution nor power; it is merely a constantly shifting mass of blue energy surrounded by countless fragments of memory.

It tensed up, shrinking back the fragments of memory around it. The feeling of being locked on terrified it. Even though it was the most powerful and terrifying monster in the world, it still felt that the entity that locked it on was the real monster.

The next moment, the mournful echo concentrated its power, and countless fragments of memory condensed into power. Azure light shone from the thousands of crystalline fragments of memory, drawing blue arcs in mid-air, intertwining and merging, and finally forming an ultimate soul attack that pierced the Lord of Light and Shadow.

[A Flash of Soul]

The azure soul ray attack was exceptionally powerful. Although it was designed to target the soul, it could also cause slight changes in physical phenomena. Wherever the ray passed, space would be slightly distorted, creating ripples like pebbles hitting the surface of water.

"."

The Lord of Light and Shadow made no move; He simply continued forward, ignoring the soul rays as if they were ignoring ants on the roadside, letting the light fall upon Him and letting the soul rays pierce Him.

He walked calmly, his face remaining completely unchanged. Hearing the "Soul Attack 0" judgment appear in his ears, he felt as if he were not being attacked, but rather listening to the enemy making noise, and noise made through the spirit world.

"It's really noisy."

The Lord of Light and Shadow spoke, his cold and calm voice tinged with impatience.

He raised his right hand, and an extremely intense, dazzling light condensed at the fingertips covered by gray gauze, the aura of [divine power] shining holyly.

The next moment, the holy light instantly transcended space and shot towards the energy shell of the wailing echo, but the wailing echo swiftly dodged it.

However, many of the memory fragments surrounding it were directly erased by the rays.

Is this guy a monster?

The mournful cry echoed as it felt the fragments of its memory shatter. The irrecoverable feeling terrified it. If its true form were attacked, it was hard to imagine the extent of the trauma it would suffer.

Now, it feels desperate. Soul attacks are ineffective against the Lord of Light and Shadow, and the influence and interference of memory fragments are useless. Moreover, it has no body, so it cannot use physical attacks.

How can this be resolved?

At this moment, the one who felt the strange rules was not Ye Mingqiu, but the one who, as a level 5 overlord, was completely unable to fight against the Lord of Light and Shadow.

"Ok?"

The Lord of Light and Shadow, seeing the ray dodged by Echoing Howl, showed displeasure on his starry face. Immediately afterwards, he put on the Hunter title and used Hunt on Echoing Howl.

Movement speed +20%

Basic Agility, movement speed +20%

Just then, Echoing Cry used a control skill on Ye Mingqiu. The control was resisted, thus triggering the [Blood Rage] passive's [Enraged] state, increasing movement speed by 25%.

If the passive skill [Crown of the Beast King] fails to trigger, the second stage of the [Blood Boiling] effect will be triggered, increasing movement speed by 30%.

That is

Ye Mingqiu now has a movement speed bonus of up to 95%!

Even more terrifying is that his normal agility is 83.1, and he also has the [Divine Evolution] buff that increases his base movement speed.

Therefore, the Lord of Light and Shadow no longer used the Holy Light with the same mercy as before.

He raised his fist, which was covered with golden [divine power] that had an extreme restraint on cursed life forms. The highly concentrated power exuded a terrifying aura like a black hole.

Buho!

The mournful cries echoed with extreme fear. It felt that the Lord of Light and Shadow was about to launch a real attack. The previous rays were not an attack, but just energy that was casually shot out.

This guy.

He never considered me an enemy from the beginning!

Now, He is going to attack!

The mournful cries that echoed around the fragments of memory fled through the abyss world, pursued by the Lord of Light and Shadow, whose [Raging Pursuit] effect activated, growing ever stronger.

The Lord of Light and Shadow moved at a steady pace, seemingly taking ordinary steps, but actually moving at an extremely fast speed. In almost an instant, he arrived beside the Echoing Wail. ​​Under the refraction of thousands of memory fragments emitting black smoke, the fist shining with holy light finally fell.

A divine light shone brightly!

Black smoke, purified and extinguished by [divine power], filled the sky!

"boom!!"

A terrifying physical sound erupted, but the world did not impose a curse, because the Eye of Omargon had already devoured the curse!

"Awooo!!!"

The echoing wails emitted terrifying and shrill soul screams. The feeling of being attacked by divine power was extremely painful, like being ravaged by magma. The scorching and painful attack pierced through every record of the soul.

The countless fragments of memory that had been resisting shattered and scattered into ashes. The main body of the energy cluster was also hit by a punch. The fist, wrapped in [divine power], almost struck its core, shattering the core that was echoing with mournful cries.

It cries out in anguish! It roars! It howls in fury!

It was so desperate it was suffocating!

The mournful echoes erupted with power beyond limits in the face of despair, causing cracks to spread throughout the surrounding space. The fragments of the world echoing in the abyss of the soul trembled violently, and countless fragments of memory flew in from every corner of the space, some large, some small, some strong, some weak.

Today, it must fight for survival! It simply wants to continue living here!

"Ok?"

The starry face of the Lord of Light and Shadow underwent a slight change; He discovered that this thing seemed to be even more resilient than He had imagined.

Although the Echoing Lament lacks a physical form, it can still withstand a punch imbued with [divine power].

That's incredibly powerful and bizarre!

A mournful cry echoes; you are too strong!

Therefore, I must personally erase it!

The Lord of Light and Shadow raised his fist once more, unleashing a terrifying and powerful burst of holy light, the aura unique to Divine Power enveloping the entire space.

The Echoing Cry, which had originally planned to flee, was suddenly surprised to find that what the Lord of Light and Shadow had just used seemed to be a simple basic attack. This was not some kind of ability of His that allowed Him to use it continuously without cooldown, even punching one punch after another.

Monster! Monster!!

The Lord of Light and Shadow didn't care what the Echoing Cries thought; He simply lowered His fist, causing the blazing light to shine once more, purifying the entire Abyss of Echoing Hearts with this light.

Countless fragments of memory shattered, and the original body of the Echoing Lament was pierced by [Divine Power], the terrifying fist directly striking its core. The excruciating pain of the blazing sun caused the Echoing Lament to twist and tremble. As an energy entity, it continuously contorted and deformed in a short period of time, sometimes trembling like a rope, sometimes collapsing to the ground like liquid, and sometimes burning like flames.

But the Lord of Light and Shadow didn't care. He simply pressed down with his fist, calmly and serenely shattering the core of the mournful echo, killing this level 5 overlord.

"boom!!"

A terrifying surge of mental energy erupted, forming a storm that was almost a physical storm—a trace left only after the death of an extremely powerful mental life form.

ended

The Lord of Light and Shadow raised his hand, looking at the Level 5 Overlord he had smashed to pieces with two punches, without any emotional fluctuation. Because he felt that as the Lord of Light and Shadow, doing something to this extent was only natural, and he shouldn't have any emotional reaction to it.

The Echoing Howl is not weak; it is even quite powerful among level 5 overlords. However, the problem is that it has encountered the Lord of Light and Shadow, who completely counters it. Neither soul attacks, rational interference, nor control abilities have any effect.

Even more terrifying is that the Lord of Light and Shadow also possesses the Divine Power that completely counters it.

Logically speaking, the incorporeal Echo is not afraid of any physical attacks, so it fights against most psionicists with an absolutely invincible attitude. Normal psionicists would not be able to defeat it, let alone let the Echo stand still and let them attack it, and they would not be able to cause any effective damage to the Echo.

unfortunately

It encountered the Lord of Light and Shadow, who possessed [Divine Power] and could inflict extremely high true damage on itself. Having no physical form not only meant ignoring physical damage, but also meant that when facing an attribute that absolutely countered it, it would suffer more terrifying damage than monsters of the same level.

Therefore, although it is a level 5 overlord and its health is not low at all, it just can't withstand the two punches of the Lord of Light and Shadow covered by the Divine Power.

This restraint effect is simply amazing!

Meanwhile, on the other side, the [Apostle of Light and Shadow] stared blankly as she killed the [Lord of Light and Shadow] with two punches, who was still screaming. She looked down at her fists, her small head lost in deep thought.

She felt as if she had captured something, but also as if she hadn't fully captured it.

However, in the battle just now, the [Apostle of Light and Shadow] did its best to resist the restraints, and further interacted with the [Divine Power] through its own power, comprehending the nature of the [Divine Power] and learning more.

Although it was just normal study, she felt that she understood the [Divine Power] more. This power from the [Lord of Light and Shadow] seemed to be related to the damaged badge that the Lord of Light and Shadow gave her to some extent.

She simultaneously sensed the connection between divine power and the emblem, changing the form and pattern of her own power. By absorbing the power within, she quietly grew stronger without even realizing it.

The skill bar of the [Light and Shadow Apostle] has quietly gained an additional skill.

Sacred mimicry

Of course, the divine mimicry she mastered only slightly increased the energy intensity, making the nature of the energy closer to [divine power], but in essence, the difference was still quite large. After all, [divine power] is not a power that normal people can master.

Even if she possesses a Holy Light physique and a Holy Light talent, she cannot master [Holy Power]. No matter how much she imitates it, she can only obtain power that is closer to [Holy Power], but its essence is completely different.

However, the Apostle of Light and Shadow will not be discouraged because she knew the answer from the beginning and knew that she could never reach the level of the Lord of Light and Shadow and possess the power of the Lord of Light and Shadow.

Because this is normal for her; it's perfectly fine that the apostles can't reach the Lord's level.

As long as she can bring her power closer to the Lord through her own efforts, that would be the most perfect and best reward for her. Even if she could not reach the level of [Divine Power], she would continue to work hard.

The Apostle of Light and Shadow will follow the Lord and continue to grow stronger. She will gradually comprehend the Divine Power while bound by the Chains of Radiance, and attempt to verify it by interacting with the Divine Power in the emblem through Holy Light, thereby further growing through her own power.

Lord, I will continue to grow stronger!

I will become the strongest and most loyal believer!

Chapter 140 World Destruction! Originating from the Dream Weaver's Gaze!

It has returned to its original state.

As the Apostle of Light and Shadow watched the world behind him gradually return to its original state after being cursed, a sense of sorrow and helplessness rose in his heart.

The power of the Lord of Light and Shadow is indeed vast and boundless. Wherever He is, all cursed powers will be restrained, all distorted laws will be restored to order, and all cursed life will be reduced to ashes under the holy light.

But

When the great Lord of Light and Shadow departs, the world will return to its original state. The power of the curse will cover the world, the laws will be twisted once again, and new cursed life will be conceived in this sinful place, as if nothing has changed.

Only she, who was by the Lord's side, continuously witnessed all of this happening.

Each witness, each moment filled with hope, each moment with disappointment—all of this made the [Apostle of Light and Shadow] doubt himself: was everything the [Lord of Light and Shadow] had done truly meaningful?

She followed behind the Lord of Light and Shadow, and murmured softly, seemingly unintentionally, "Lord, the world has returned to its original state."

"Ah."

The Lord of Light and Shadow moved forward steadily, his gaze beneath the gray starry sky fixed on the empty panel before him. He looked at the various treasure chests he had obtained and was quite satisfied with the gains from this world. As for the doubts of the Apostles of Light and Shadow...

He didn't care about any significance; all he knew was that killing monsters yielded many treasure chests, which contained a lot of resources and equipment, worth a lot of spirit points, and could make him stronger.

That's the meaning!

However, for the sake of the title of "Lord of Light and Shadow," he still had to be concerned about the mental state of the "Apostle of Light and Shadow" and say a few words.

So He stopped, His face, like that of the starry sky, turned toward the Apostle of Light and Shadow, and spoke: “The original form? Observe carefully.”

"Ok?"

Having said that, the Lord of Light and Shadow no longer paid attention to the reactions of the Apostles of Light and Shadow. He continued on his way, heading to more world fragments, giving more purification to the Silent Corridor world, and killing more cursed beings.

Meanwhile, the Apostles of Light and Shadow who followed Him seemed to awaken from a dream, paying close attention to everything along the way.

She had to admit that what the Lord of Light and Shadow said made a lot of sense. The world had not actually returned to its original state; it had only gradually developed in the manner it had initially appeared, and development takes time.

Recovery from an environment with a high concentration of cursed energy takes time, and this time will be further extended under the influence of [Divine Power]. If the recovery of the environment slows down, the time it takes for cursed life to be reborn will also be longer, or even a very long time before new cursed life can be regenerated.

Then

If the Lord of Light and Shadow experiences enough worlds in a short period of time, spreading light and bringing divine power to more world fragments, will the Silent Corridor be able to recover at a rate that keeps pace with the Lord of Light and Shadow's speed of salvation?

[Apostle of Light and Shadow] fell into deep thought.

During her contemplation, she constantly observed the changes in the world and the healing of the curse.

Ultimately, the [Apostle of Light and Shadow] was incredibly surprised to discover that the curse had appeared, slowing down the process of the world returning to its original state, and doing so at a noticeably slower pace.

Why is that?

Why does this happen?

The Apostles of Light and Shadow have always believed that curses are invincible, and that the power of curses originating from within the world is endless.

But what if it isn't, but simply that no one has been able to reach and surpass its limits?

I understand!

I finally understand!
