Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

In a daze, the ancient serpent remembered Tiamat, the mother goddess who had regained her divinity; Anna, who had ascended to the status of earth goddess ahead of him; Athena, who had become the king of gods before him; Holo and Hela, who had been sent to his side and could easily defeat him in the early stages; and the two extremely dangerous outer goddess witches beside him...

Well, it's an inherent talent, there's nothing we can do about it.

Samael twitched his lips, barely managing to suppress the resentment in his heart. He looked up at Zhu Yue, a fake smile immediately appearing on his face.

"I say, Brunstad, considering how long I've raised you, why don't we stop fighting, sit down, have some tea, and talk about our life goals?"

"To repay a debt of gratitude?"

Zhu Yue stared at the face that inexplicably stirred her emotions, her brows furrowed, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

"I can let you choose how you die."

Proud people often despise external entanglements, especially those that don't belong to them.

"Looks like there's no point in talking?"

Samael sighed, his deep gaze suddenly hardening into a stern expression. He raised his hands and clenched them in front of his chest, unleashing a dazzling golden spiral of light that pierced through the heavens and earth.

Holy Lance, weigh anchor!

"The Tower of the End, the Spear of Demise!"

The Moon King, standing in mid-air, noticed the dazzling color in his opponent's palm. His expression changed slightly, his scarlet pupils contracted sharply, and he suddenly murmured in realization.

"So, they chose you..."

Immediately, Zhu Yue's expression turned cold and stoic, her aura became violent and icy, and she clenched her hands, gathering the colorful rainbow light in her palms, before speaking softly.

"Very well, now I have another reason to kill you!"

One king is enough to rule this world.

Chapter 74 Elbow, Come Inside With Me (4.1k, Edited, Please Refresh)

Meanwhile, at the edge of Fuhai Forest.

Holding the blue-haired little girl, Arecia, in her arms, Kurohime gazed at the battlefield a thousand miles away, her pupils contracting sharply.

The sky, cleared of clouds, was crystal clear, with two spiraling bands of light resembling colossal pillars tearing through the earth and piercing the heavens.

One was the crimson glow of the moon, the other the golden torrent of stars.

The decisive battle is imminent.

The shock in Eltluch's heart was beyond measure. Her body was caught between two opposing etheric storms, and she was like a withered leaf drifting in the air, unable to control herself.

Is this their true power?

"Eltrauge, it's time for you to go..."

Just as Kurohime was lost in thought, a soft murmur echoed in her ears.

Samael?

The familiar tone of the voice startled Eltragi instantly. Following the sound, she instinctively looked down at a rune that had been drawn on the back of her hand.

“Take Arecia and get out of here.”

Receiving no response, the man's voice, lowered, reminded them again.

Altrouge snapped out of her daze, gritted her teeth, and couldn't help but straighten up and speak.

"I……"

"Wait, I'm afraid I won't be able to ensure your safety."

However, before Black Princess could finish speaking, Samael interrupted Eltrucci's stubborn speech with an unprecedented solemnity in his voice.

In an instant, Ertruchi couldn't help but recall the crimson stain on the cliff.

Previously, if it weren't for taking care of her, this guy wouldn't have been scratched by the rampaging Arcueid, and perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Hei Ji's face gradually turned pale, and her clenched teeth unknowingly bit her cherry lips.

That "Mother" was right. She has always been so willful and fragile, yet because of her pitiful pride, she has never been willing to face her true self.

But at least this time, don't get in the way.

"Okay, be careful..."

After a moment of silence, Eltrauge buried her head deep and made a low, nasal sound.

"Okay, I'll leave Arecia in your care. How about you do me a favor and feed Fufu for me when you have time?"

However, as that dejected figure moved away, a relaxed question came from her ear, which made Eltrauge pause for a moment. Then, a warm feeling seemed to rise in her chest, and she nodded emphatically.

"I promise you!"

Then, a new color appeared in those scarlet eyes, and her thin cherry lips moved slightly.

"However, please promise me one thing: you must bring Arcueid back..."

High in the sky, Samael, whose hand was filled with the starlight, looked up at the Moon King bathed in crimson light, raised his lips slightly, and nodded solemnly.

"Of course!"

"What a pointless display of sympathy..."

Zhu Yue slowly opened her eyes, a disdainful sneer appearing on her downturned lips. The scarlet palm of her hand pulsed with light and shadow, seemingly absorbing the infinite moonlight within it.

Clearly, the Moon King had noticed his opponent's subtle moves, but tacitly approved of this pre-battle indulgence.

Tch, so arrogant, huh? It's hereditary...

The ancient serpent secretly rolled its eyes. When it realized that the two auras behind it had disappeared, it immediately stopped worrying, gathered its thoughts, and solemnly chanted.

"To sing praises. To extol. To chant."

Ancient mystery, may it be extinct.

May that sweet allure vanish completely!

The ring-shaped band of light weaves a dazzling galaxy, and the majestic gun wheel resembles a golden scepter thrown from the sky.

At the same time, Zhu Yue, now in her full form, also raised her power to the extreme, tightly gripping the scarlet, dazzling light band and moving her lips.

"The crown of the moon king, the birth of countless calamities."

The time has come to crown it; tear apart the false grandeur and reveal the cruel reality!

The sky was torn open by a blood-red crack, as if a chasm had been opened, leading directly to the primordial universe, revealing the desolate and dark abyss to the world. Outsiders could only glimpse a trace of reality through this crack, and even the leaked power could directly annihilate the fragile human soul, severing the vitality of all things.

Two terrifying auras rose steadily in the unrecognizable, constantly disintegrating alternate dimension, until they reached their peak and condensed to the extreme.

In an instant, the two ancient deities stared at each other, leaned forward, and swung their arms down.

"—Rhongomyniad (Shining in the Spear of the End)!"

"—Le vrai monde (The Demon Sword: The True World)!"

In an instant, with the chanting of divine commands and the forward tilt of spears and swords, the crimson world and the golden sky collided and crushed towards the center.

boom!

The node, where gold and crimson intertwined, twisted space to its extreme, continuously collapsing until it finally exploded with a deafening roar, like a high-energy particle stream produced by a nova explosion, gushing and splashing in all directions, like a meteor shower falling from the heavens.

Click!

Instantly, the sky shattered into pieces, like a mirror that had been smashed to the ground, covered with spiderweb-like cracks. The earth continued to collapse, tearing open a bottomless abyss. Soil, thorny forests, mountains, and mist were all evaporated and decomposed, returning to the nothingness of the annihilation of all things.

Victory or defeat depends on this one move!

In the darkness, the guns and swords, carrying the last glimmer of light in this desolate world, staggered and struck their respective targets.

boom!

At this moment, before Eltrauge, who had broken through the spatial barrier of the Fuhai Forest and returned to the present world, could calm her mind and observe her surroundings, a thunderous roar and a surging etheric storm suddenly erupted.

In an instant, the sky seemed to be hit by a solar flare, and everything in sight turned white. Birds within a radius of several miles fell in droves, and insects on the ground died in trembling and madness.

Meanwhile, Hei Ji, who was directly hit in mid-air, felt dizzy and weak, as if she were crashing, and swayed as she fell towards the city below the clouds.

Meanwhile, in the gradually collapsing alternate dimension, two figures, back to back, stand facing each other like frozen sculptures.

"Tick tock..."

A barely audible dripping sound suddenly arose, and Samael's body swayed. The purplish-red mist that had been coiling around him like a snake collapsed completely, and cracks appeared all over the ancient snake's body, like blood-red threads imprinted on a beautiful white porcelain.

puff! puff! puff! puff!

In an instant, streams of blood gushed from the ruptured wound, quickly soaking Samael into a blood-soaked mess.

However, despite suffering such a terrible injury, the ancient serpent couldn't help but raise the corners of its lips, its relaxed expression revealing a hearty smile.

At this moment, Zhu Yue, who was standing far away, looked down at the golden holy spear that pierced through her chest, her scarlet eyes filled with disbelief.

How could this be! I, a being of a planet, could actually…

hum!

In an instant, amidst the tremors, countless tadpole-shaped golden runes, through the bridge built by the Holy Lance Rungomminiad, surged wildly into Zhu Yue's body, dyeing the crimson ocean of consciousness of the Moon King into a golden hue.

The Holy Lance Rungomminiad is the tower that holds the earth in place and sustains the world at its end.

Restraint, decrees, and suppression are the essence of its power.

During the Covenant War, this thing could even immobilize the planet Wilpa, which was preying on it, let alone a UO from the moon.

Damn it, so close! So close!

A surge of resentment boiled within his heart, yet it was ultimately extinguished by the undulating golden waves, and his angry consciousness continued to fall into the darkness.

Cough cough, we finally won...

Seeing that the most troublesome enemy since his awakening had been moved into the infinitely renewable dark room under the power of the Holy Lance, Samael coughed up the blood that had accumulated in his internal organs and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, to be honest, the victory just now was really dangerous. I was so close to dying by the sword of that "One of the Primordial Ones".

But there was nothing he could do; he wanted to defeat his opponent while also protecting Arcueid.

Being too greedy will always come at a price.

As the unconscious figure swayed and fell, Samael gathered the chaotic thoughts in his mind, struggled to raise his blood-soaked arm, and drew a rune to protect Arcueid.

However, this simple action exhausted his last bit of strength.

Forget it, let me catch my breath before I go after Arcueid.

The ancient serpent closed its eyes and concentrated, intending to absorb the ether in the air to restore some of its magic. However, for some reason, its body seemed to be covered by a thick cocoon, making it impossible to resonate with the foundation of the world.

Whoosh!

At the same time, Samael's body seemed to be weighed down by lead, falling uncontrollably downwards.

Suddenly, the ancient serpent seemed to realize something, its horrified gaze fixed on the bloodstains covering its body, a thunderbolt flashing through its chaotic mind.

There's something wrong with that sword!

Indeed, as one of the original moons, its weaponry was certainly not ordinary.

The Demon Sword: True World, as the name suggests, negates the current world as false, and only the world that this sword has slashed is real.

In other words, once struck by it, the power and protection applicable to the earth will be disintegrated by this demonic sword.

Ni, Ma, de...

With the whistling wind in his ears, Samael looked at the ground buildings that were rapidly expanding in his field of vision, his face stiff, and offered a "sincere" greeting to the Moon King.

"boom!"

Dozens of seconds later, a meteor streaked across the night and crashed into the lush, verdant mountains. The immense impact sent the dark red soil, emitting wisps of smoke, soaring high into the air and leaving a cone-shaped crater more than ten meters deep in the center.

"Cough cough..."

A moment later, a violent cough came from the deep pit. A disheveled figure lying in a pool of blood struggled to twist his cracking neck, glanced at his bald right arm and his missing lower body, and looked up at the night sky with resentful and lifeless eyes.

At this moment, the blood and splattered pieces of flesh scattered around, like caterpillars, slowly crawled towards the main body and reassembled themselves on the gap.

Immortality is an innate quality rooted in this body's flesh and blood, and naturally it cannot be erased. However, without the nourishment of magic, it will probably take a very long time.

Forget it, let's save our energy and just lie down.

The snake that fell into the pit, seeing that it could not absorb ether from the outside world after several attempts, simply rested its head on the side of the earthen wall, tilted its head to the side, closed its eyes, and gave up.

Just as the ancient snake, exhausted both physically and mentally, was about to fall asleep, a rustling sound came from the bushes at the edge of the deep pit.
