Chapter 385: In My World, Please Follow the Rules

Several trillion warships, at this moment, turned into a pile of cold steel coffins drifting in the universe!

All the warriors were firmly pressed into their seats by an invisible force, unable to move, their thoughts nearly halted.

Fear could not even arise.

Because before that overwhelming might, their souls were so insignificant they didn't even count as dust.

Amidst this dead silence.

A vast, ancient, emotionless voice,

like the universe itself speaking, it echoed directly in the deepest part of every living being's soul.

"Very good."

"You have successfully caught my attention."

That voice came from the true form of the Overlord.

"Now, as a reward."

"I will personally—annihilate you."

The words fell.

The gray giant finger, squeezed out from a dimensional rift and comparable to an entire star system, slowly pressed toward Qin Hao's position.

Its movement appeared slow, so slow it seemed stationary.

But everyone knew it was a "lock-on" transcending speed and space itself.

Time and space lost their meaning before this finger.

It seemed that no matter where Qin Hao fled to any corner of the universe, or hid in any dimensional crack, he could absolutely not escape this fatal finger.

This was a strike, filled with killing intent, from the true form of a sixth-level civilization!

Despair!

An absolute despair capable of completely freezing the souls enveloped the hearts of everyone in the allied forces.

Inside the ancient fortress flagship of the Revenge Union Surveillance, within the giant single eye of Elder Star Pupil,

the just-ignited flames of revenge were completely extinguished by this cold, cruel reality.

He slowly closed his eyes, awaiting the unstoppable doom that would fall upon himself and his people's last spark.

They lost the gamble.

One should not hope that ants could shake the gods.

However, right in the center of this ocean of despair.

The figure locked onto by the giant finger, however, made a response that no one could comprehend.

Qin Hao held in his hand the "Cosmic Singularity" that Qian Yin had handed him, flashing with seven-colored light,

watching as the gray giant finger, capable of obliterating an entire star system, slowly pressed down.

On his face, not only was there no fear,

but instead… he revealed a brilliant smile.

"Finally willing to reveal a bit of your true form?"

His voice, carrying a hint of mockery and a hint of disdain, echoed across the silent battlefield.

"I thought you would forever hide behind higher dimensions, a shy turtle that avoids the light."

The words fell.

Qin Hao hesitated no longer.

He activated the Cosmic Singularity in his hand!

"Hum—"

That seven-colored cube instantly turned into a stream of light, merging into Qin Hao's forehead.

The next second.

With Qin Hao, who had unlocked his Divine Body, as the absolute center, a brilliant seven-colored light burst outward!

Wherever the light reached, the universe's real rules seemed to be violently erased like a rubber eraser!

Finally, this light formed an absolutely perfect spherical domain with a diameter of exactly one light-year!

Outside the domain lay the cold, dead universe.

Inside the domain, however, was chaos, a primordial void!

All physical constants became unstable here.

Spatial dimensions could be arbitrarily bent here.

The flow of time could be freely defined here.

Here, it seemed to be the singularity before the Big Bang,

all the rules awaited a new 'god' to give them entirely new definitions!

Qin Hao stood at the absolute center of this domain.

He was the sole god of this domain!

His voice resonated loudly within this "microcosm" belonging solely to him, carrying the majesty of creation.

"In my world, size is relative."

"And I am the sole absolute!"

The Overlord's gray giant finger, without hesitation, pressed into Qin Hao's deployed "Only I Domain."

In the Overlord's chaotic and vast will, this was no more than an ant, before being crushed,

releasing the last trivial energy fluctuation, which could absolutely not affect it.

However, at the instant the fingertip touched the edge of that seven-colored domain,

A feeling never before experienced, so absurd that it left its core will stunned, suddenly came!

It…… felt that it was losing control over this finger extending into the three-dimensional world!

No, it is not losing control.

But rather, the "rule" that finger follows is being forcibly altered by a more overbearing, more unreasonable power!

"What is that?"

"A…… domain?"

"No! Impossible! A lifeform that just reached sixth-level civilization, how could it possibly touch the level of 'defining rules'?"

The Overlord's will, for the first time, produced an emotion called 'shock'.

And within the domain, as the sole divine being Qin Hao, he merely coldly watched that part of the gray giant finger intruding into his world.

He slowly opened his mouth; his voice was not loud, yet his words became law, turning into the supreme law of this domain.

"Definition: invasion target, energy level, reduced by ninety-nine percent."

"Definition: invasion target, physical size, shrunk to normal biological standard."

As Qin Hao's words fell.

Outside the domain, all allied soldiers who had barely regained a shred of consciousness,

witnessed a scene they could never forget for all eternity, enough to overturn their entire worldview.

That finger, originally comparable to a star system, emitting endless destructive aura, after entering Qin Hao's seven-colored domain,

It…… began to shrink at a visible, exaggeratedly extreme speed!

Like a punctured balloon, frantically leaking air!

The terrifying pressure it carried, capable of crushing dimensional barriers, also rapidly diminished at the same speed!

"No!!!"

"You damned ant!"

"What did you do to the rules?!"

At the other end of the dimensional rift came the Overlord's exasperated roar, filled with violent anger and unbelievable fury.

It could clearly feel that its power was being 'diluted' and 'rewritten' in an unheard-of way!

It frantically injected more energy from higher dimensions into that finger, trying to resist this alteration from the underlying rules and regain control over its own body.

But, it was all in vain.

Within Qin Hao's 'Only I Domain', he is the creator god.

Unless the Overlord can cover Qin Hao's rules with a stronger 'definition', otherwise, no matter how much energy it injects, it merely provides nourishment for Qin Hao's domain.

Finally.

Under the gaze of countless eyes that had become completely dazed.

When that finger, which had brought endless despair, after traversing a domain distance of half a light-year, reached before Qin Hao,

Its size had become no different from an ordinary person's finger.

Those strange patterns on it still existed, but they no longer emitted any pressure, instead appearing somewhat laughable.

Qin Hao still maintained his divine posture, golden divine fire burning in his pupils.

He watched that finger, now shrunk to before him, gray, still slightly trembling from the Overlord's futile rage.

On his face appeared a teasing smile.

Then, he extended his right hand.

Index and middle finger.

Amid the Overlord's near-frantic roar, he easily "pinched" that finger coming from the Overlord's true body.
