Please be my partner.

The human heart is always unpredictable.

Putting those matters aside, Mellen turned his attention to the Shadow Fiend, Cassius.

After reading Cassius's memories at the soul level, Melen couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of fate.

After obtaining the information he wanted from the Twilight Knights, Shadow Fiend had absolutely no interest in the subsequent war and simply chose to flee.

Because of the cultivation method that harmonizes light and darkness, the celestial realm, filled with holiness and light, naturally became the Shadow Demon's first choice.

The Shadow Demon's original plan was to find some celestial beings to devour and absorb, first concealing the abyssal aura on his body, and then proceed slowly.

But by some stroke of luck, Shadow Fiend encountered the critically injured and dying Cassius shortly after arriving in the Celestial Realm. There was no reason not to take advantage of such a 'feast' that was delivered to his doorstep.

Having merged with Cassius, Shadow Fiend began to act as the former. After an unexpected encounter with the Archangel of Light, Shadow Fiend discovered that even such a powerful figure could not see through his disguise, which made him even bolder.

Then came three years, three years and three years again. With Mellen's help, Shadow Fiend actually managed to get the position of Archangel of Light. To be honest, he was a little confused about this result.

However, Shadow Fiend still had some sense. He knew that his disguise would most likely not fool the Lord of Light. So, with the Lord of Light about to awaken, Shadow Fiend was already preparing to escape. He was just waiting to make a few more quick bucks before completely severing ties with Cassius's identity and making a clean getaway.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. The appearance of Mellen disrupted all of Shadow Fiend's plans, and he himself became a prisoner.

Chapter 743 Settling the Cause and Effect and Completing the Rebellion

Put the Shadow Fiend away; he has other uses, so we can't kill him for now.

Mellen snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the Heavenly Mountain, which was filled with fear. During this time, some Holy Light Angels even tried to escape, but Mellen stopped them all. He then looked at the thirteenth floor and realized that the situation here was basically settled.

The dragon's suppression of the Lord of Holy Light was faster than expected, taking only about a month and a half.

Once the dragon had freed up its resources, it launched a massive purge of the Holy Light Angels of Paradise Mountain, reducing their numbers by more than 80%. Even so, there are likely still fanatical followers of the Lord of Light among the remaining Holy Light Angels.

However, these issues will require the Council of Beasts to gradually correct them.

Melen did not intervene in the matter, but instead went to see the Lord of Holy Light, who had been completely suppressed, as he still had some final questions to answer.

The Lord of Holy Light no longer has a conventional life form; he looks like a large sphere of light.

The giant sphere of light seemed to have resigned itself to its fate, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever, just like a lifeless object.

After thinking for a moment, Murren asked, "Do you remember when you wiped out an intelligent machine civilization?"

Large Sphere: ...

Mellen continued, "This intelligent machine civilization has a very high level of technology, and has already elevated the entire civilization to a higher dimension."

Large Sphere: ...

Mellen added, "Your methods are somewhat unusual; you even erased the name of this AI civilization, so I don't know what they're called."

Large Sphere: ...

Mellen sighed, realizing that it was impossible to get the other party to cooperate willingly. Since that was the case, he no longer cared that the Lord of Holy Light was a dragon's spoils and directly used the power of his soul and dreams to forcibly read the Lord of Holy Light's memories.

Soon, Mellen got what he wanted, but the result was somewhat unexpected.

Back when the Lord of Light had not yet fully risen to power, he was indeed hostile to an AI civilization. That AI civilization had considerable war potential, and the war between the two sides initially went from being evenly matched to the Lord of Light being gradually suppressed.

In order to win the war, the Lord of Holy Light had no choice but to use a treasure obtained from a certain fortuitous encounter. When the treasure took effect, that intelligent machine civilization was completely wiped out from the annals of history.

No one remembers the name of that machine civilization, not even the Lord of Light himself.

However, this erasure was not a matter of fate, because this intelligent civilization itself had created a huge influence in that era. Their disappearance directly left a large blank in history and caused even greater panic.

This crude, one-size-fits-all approach is like simply erasing all traces of that civilization with an eraser, completely different from the subtle, pervasive influence of fate that automatically mends all traces.

In the end, Mellen failed to obtain any information about that intelligent machine civilization, not even its simplest name. Furthermore, the treasure disappeared after the Lord of Holy Light used it, along with all the information related to the treasure.

As for the latter, although Mellen felt it was a bit of a pity, since that treasure was not related to fate, it was not worth him spending more effort to pursue it.

As for the former, Mellen felt it might not necessarily be a bad thing. Since all traces of that machine civilization had disappeared, let 'Alpha' truly become their name, as a way of commemorating the millions of years of perseverance of the α-07 Macross AI '07'.

The Council of Beasts will now enter a busy period. There is a saying that it is easier to conquer a country than to govern it. Although the thunderous attack by Melen and the dragon has brought great benefits to the Council of Beasts, it has also aroused the vigilance of other forces.

However, these are things that Dragon has to worry about, and have nothing to do with Mellen.

After leaving the Celestial Realm, Melen headed straight for the Blue-Green Realm.

Blue-Green Realm, Sunset Mountains, Twilight Knights.

In a short time, Mellen returned here again, but this time his purpose was clear: to pay tribute to the heroes, including Dahl, who died during the invasion of the Abyss.

At Dahl's grave, Melen completely purified the Shadow Fiend, thus putting an end to a matter on his mind.

At this point, Mellen had basically completed most of what he needed to do to return to the Starry Universe. All that remained was to finish this last task, after which he could head to the Beast Universe without any distractions.

In the vast universe, there is a crimson region, a domain belonging exclusively to the Endless Blood Sea. In this region, all original life forms have been corrupted by the Endless Blood Sea and transformed into Blood Sea life forms, becoming part of the Endless Blood Sea.

The Endless Blood Sea is an extremely powerful being among the rulers. Although it was severely injured during the ancient war, the Endless Blood Sea is known for its recovery ability and can nourish itself by devouring countless lives from various worlds. Therefore, it is one of the best-preserved beings among the sleeping gods.

As the saying goes, if you're quick on one step, you'll be quick on every step. After gaining the upper hand, the Endless Blood Sea became increasingly bold in its actions, and long ago it began to continuously send Blood Sea life forms into the void.

These blood-sea creatures drift freely in the void, and most of them wither and die over a long period of time, but some are always lucky enough to enter a certain world.

Then, these blood-sea creatures will follow their instincts to kill, devour, and grow until they become a coordinate, drawing in the power of the endless blood sea, and ultimately engulfing the entire world.

It was through this method that the size of the Endless Sea of ​​Blood began to expand rapidly.

Of course, this method is not without its drawbacks. Although the life forms in the Blood Sea are entirely created by the Endless Blood Sea, once they break free from the control of the Endless Blood Sea, they are subject to the influence of the void and the baptism of the world's rules, and are therefore prone to distortion or mutation.

In this situation, it is possible for 'blood sea rebels' to emerge, which are blood sea creatures that are not controlled by the endless blood sea but can instead draw nourishment from it.

Of course, this is also one of the calculations of the Endless Blood Sea. After all, since the 'Blood Sea Rebellion' was able to break free from the control of the Endless Blood Sea, it must be because it has given birth to special rules that the Endless Blood Sea does not possess. As long as this power of rules can be recovered, it will be a good supplement to the Endless Blood Sea.

As the master who controls the source of the rules, there shouldn't be any accidents.

At least, that was the case before the pairing of Mellen and Little Red Lotus appeared.

As a rebel against the Endless Blood Sea, Xiao Honglian is both restrained by and to some extent restrained by the Endless Blood Sea, with the two sides basically in a state where the stronger one wins.

In the past, even if Mellen had a cheat code, it would have been difficult for him to break free from this shackle.

Fortunately, Mellen had a good opportunity to break free from the confines and go to the Immortal Realm to develop his strength. Now that he has returned, it is time to settle all scores!

Mellen stood quietly 'above' the blood-red area; of course, this wasn't simply a matter of up and down, but rather a perspective that transcended a dimension.

The sea of ​​blood surged and submerged a vast expanse of the void, with countless worlds rising and falling within it. Regardless of what these worlds originally looked like, they were now forcibly given a crimson background.

Little Red Lotus stood on Melon's shoulder, looking quite excited, gazing at the endless sea of ​​blood with eager anticipation.

Xiao Li also appeared beside Mellen and said, "Do you remember what I said before? I know a weakness of the Endless Blood Sea (see Chapter 571 for details)."

"The Endless Blood Sea is too greedy. It attempts to devour everything related to the Blood Domain, thus actively creating one Blood Sea rebel after another. However, these mutated and distorted rules are not necessarily all good."

"With too many distortions piling up, the Endless Blood Sea also needs to spend a lot of energy to sort out and integrate them. This results in the Endless Blood Sea's self-will being in a state of thoughtlessness and unconsciousness every once in a while, and this state is more serious than being injured and dormant."

"Endless Blood Sea went to great lengths to prevent others from discovering this weakness of his, but none of it escaped my notice."

Mellen nodded slightly. He had already heard this information from Xiaoli on his way back to the Starry Universe.

This is also the fundamental reason why, after returning to the Starry Universe, Mellen did not immediately seek out the Endless Blood Sea for revenge.

The Endless Blood Sea is, after all, an old ruler who has lived for millions of years; it might have some hidden cards up its sleeve.

Mellen wasn't worried about strength, but it would be unsettling if the Endless Blood Sea used some strange ability to escape.

Moreover, we only need to wait a little while to gain a huge advantage, so why not?

That's right, this is what Xiao Li saw in the future: the endless sea of ​​blood was about to fall into a state of 'thoughtlessness and apathy'.

And so, Mellen and his dogs waited quietly for a few days.

Suddenly, Xiao Li exclaimed, "They're here!"

Mellen immediately understood. Although the endless sea of ​​blood did not appear to have changed from his perspective, he naturally trusted Xiaoli's judgment.

Mellen said to Little Red Lotus, "Go, and finish this quickly."

Little Red Lotus cheered and leaped off Mellen's shoulder. Its body broke through the limitations of dimensions and began to expand infinitely.

The Blood Prison World has arrived!

The moment the Blood Prison World appeared, it began to frantically devour the endless sea of ​​blood.

At the same time, the Blood Prison beings, led by the Asura race, swarmed out and launched a bloody massacre, dismantling the resistance of the Blood Sea beings.

War raged, and slaughter spread.

From a higher-dimensional perspective, it looks like a small insect devouring a delicious pancake.

Because the Endless Blood Sea had fallen silent, Little Red Lotus devoured 2% to 3% of its size in a short period of time. Only then did the powerful beings under the Endless Blood Sea realize what was happening.

One by one, mythical figures, demigods, and saints began to gather.

As a powerful being among the rulers, the Endless Blood Sea naturally has a large number of subordinates and followers. Most of them were corrupted and created by the Endless Blood Sea, while a small number were assimilated by the Endless Blood Sea after voluntarily joining it.

The reasons given for the latter are varied, ranging from power to hatred.

Unlike a hundred years ago when only three mythical beings awakened, there are now as many as thirteen mythical beings capable of moving in the endless sea of ​​blood, not to mention countless demigods and saints. As for legends, they are just the most basic cannon fodder and there is no need to count them.

In terms of sheer numbers, the Blood Sea lifeforms are tens of millions of times larger than the Blood Prison lifeforms. However, with the support of Little Red Lotus's absolute strength, the Blood Prison lifeforms swept through the Blood Sea lifeforms with unstoppable momentum, annihilating them one by one. The Blood Prison world was also devouring the endless Blood Sea at an increasingly rapid pace.

This time, not only were the creatures of the Blood Sea stunned, but the powerful figures watching from outside the Endless Blood Sea were also dumbfounded.

Originally, those powerful figures, upon noticing the attack on the Endless Blood Sea, were hoping to witness a spectacle, but they never expected the Endless Blood Sea to be completely powerless to retaliate!

Soon, someone made the closest guess to the truth... The Endless Sea of ​​Blood has run into trouble!

With this idea emerging, the thought of getting a share of the pie naturally followed.

However, just as these powerful figures were about to make their move, a vast aura emanated from them. It was a power that was high above, looking down from above, flowing naturally from a higher dimension.

Under the intimidation of this power, even the strongest rulers felt a chill run down their spines, and most of the mythical experts fled at the mere sight of it, not daring to linger for even a moment.

While protecting his own spoils, Mellen's actions were also aimed at preventing others from interfering. In his eyes, the Endless Sea of ​​Blood was already his dog's prey.

After half a day, the Blood Prison World had already consumed 6% to 7% of the Endless Blood Sea. But at that moment, a massive consciousness broke free from its restraints within the Endless Blood Sea, as if awakened from a nightmare, and began to rise wildly.

Golden light shone from Xiao Li's body, and a vast and powerful force surged forth, transforming into a golden ring that enveloped the entire endless sea of ​​blood. The power of time did not affect matter, but directly acted on the level of will.

The consciousness that was awakening in the endless sea of ​​blood suddenly froze, transforming from a rocket soaring into a slowly crawling snail.

With the help of her friends, Little Red Lotus became even happier, eating heartily until her mouth was greasy.

As time passed day by day, by the third day, the Blood Prison World had consumed more than 30% of the Endless Blood Sea, as if it had crossed a critical point, and the rate of consumption accelerated further.

And the consciousness of the endless sea of ​​blood is finally about to break free from the shackles of time and reconnect with its own body.

Once consciousness and body are unified, with its enormous size far exceeding its specifications, even the power of time would find it difficult to exert a similar influence on the Endless Sea of ​​Blood again.

But how could Mellen allow the endless sea of ​​blood to go its way?

Soul and dream intertwined in Melen's hands, transforming into a strange light that swept across the endless sea of ​​blood. Instantly, the consciousness of the endless sea of ​​blood completely stopped and was dragged into a deeper level of dream.

In deep dreams, time is chaotic and disordered; what may be a few seconds in reality could be several years or even decades in a dream, and vice versa.

Thus, under the repeated control of Mellen and Xiao Li, the Endless Blood Sea had absolutely no chance to fight back.

Another day passed, and the Blood Prison World had consumed more than 50% of the Endless Sea of ​​Blood.

By the fifth day, the extent of the devouring had exceeded 85%, and the remaining portion had been completely surrounded and devoured by the Blood Prison World; it was only a matter of time before it was completely consumed.

As for the last essence containing the consciousness of the Endless Blood Sea, Little Red Lotus naturally used the old method: first suppress it, and then completely digest it after squeezing out the last bit of value from the Endless Blood Sea.

Thus, Little Red Lotus successfully achieved the feat of overthrowing her superiors and became the 'True Rebel of the Endless Blood Sea'.

Chapter 744 Departure, Heading to the Universe of Ten Thousand Beasts

The endless sea of ​​blood was swallowed up, and all the observers looked at the figure standing in the depths of time and space with awe.

Only long after that figure had completely disappeared did anyone dare to explore the area where the Endless Blood Sea had once been. Naturally, Little Red Lotus had 'eaten' it clean, leaving nothing behind.

Looking at the little red lotus with its round belly rolling around on his shoulder and a satisfied expression, Mellen chuckled and tapped its little head, saying, "Alright, this endless sea of ​​blood is too vast. Go back and digest it properly."

Little Red Lotus rubbed against Mellen's fingers before returning to Mellen's inner universe.

After standing in the void and thinking quietly for a moment, Mellen realized that there was nothing missing from the Starry Universe, so he prepared to set off for the Beast Universe.

To say that Mellen had no regrets wouldn't be entirely true; upon his return, Mellen paid special attention to news from Warwick.

Unfortunately, since the mysterious sorcerer appeared in the ancient land of exile more than a hundred years ago, he has not reappeared. In addition, Wright has also disappeared without a trace, so Mellen can't help but be a little worried.

However, Mellen believed that they would be alright, and as long as they kept moving forward, they would meet again someday.

With a sense of lingering attachment, Murren's figure slowly disappeared into the starry universe.
