Chapter 298: Will's Contest

What spewed from that colossal mouth that stretched across the sky was the pure concept of "Erasure".

An ultimate void that even "nothingness" must be denied again.

Where the Chaotic breath passed, the chains of law shattered in wails, material structures crumbled in moans, and even time and space themselves were ground down into an absolute blank.

This power could completely format a low‑level world whose foundations are still shallow, together with its history and future, out of all possibilities of existence.

On Wang Zhitao's sky‑obscuring black‑golden body, each scale stood on end from extreme danger, emitting a buzzing hum.

His internal Devouring Core Body was frantically warning, and that destructive force made him feel a long‑forgotten, instinctive fear.

"Brother!"

He let out a roar, and his massive body was about to bar the way in front of Wang Zhize regardless of everything.

"Stand still, don't move."

Wang Zhize's voice wasn't loud, yet it clearly overrode the destructive sound that could tear stars asunder.

He didn't even look up, just stood calmly there, letting the chaotic torrent representing Termination sweep over him.

"The newly developed firewall just needs a high‑intensity pressure test. Perfect timing."

His consciousness, manifested as a humanoid within the Newborn Realm, leisurely lifted the cup of goji berry water and blew warm breath onto the Light Screen before him.

On the Light Screen, all parameters of that Chaotic breath were being calculated in real time.

At the instant just before the breath was to touch his body, Wang Zhize's voice rang through the twisted void.

"I, Wang Zhize, define: its corrosion as nourishment."

"I define: its formatting as reshaping."

The moment the words fell, an inconceivable scene unfolded.

The gray torrent of destruction capable of flattening everything, after striking the invisible law domain coating Wang Zhize's body, did not trigger any earth‑shaking explosion.

It was like a river rushing into the sea, or light captured by a black hole, silently and completely swallowed.

No, not swallowed.

It is transformation!

That destructive corrosive force, under Wang Zhize's definition, turned into streams of exceedingly pure creative rain, surging into the phantom of the Newborn Realm behind him.

Within the world, the once gently flowing river of law suddenly surged, the dried riverbed filled, and barren mountains sprouted entirely new vegetation.

And that domineering "formatting" force became the most efficient optimization command.

Within the Newborn Realm, some redundant, conflicting primordial laws, under the scourge of this power, were forcibly shattered, refined, and recombined into more stable, more efficient structures.

The entire world's evolutionary process, in that instant, was thrust forward a huge step!

"Gurgle~"

The world will of the Newborn Realm seemed to let out a satisfied belch.

The entire void nest fell into death‑like silence because of this scene.

The countless dark‑red giant eyes, for the first time, showed a bewilderment akin to a system crash.

In the logical Core of the Void Sovereign, assembled from the wreckage of innumerable worlds, an "Unintelligible" error code appeared for the first time.

Attack, taken by the enemy as a tonic?

What kind of damned law is this?!

"Brother! It's my turn!"

Wang Zhitao didn't care about any of that; seeing Wang Zhize safe, he shouted excitedly, his massive body turning into a black‑gold streak that tore the heavens, slamming hard into the mountain‑like body of the Void Sovereign!

Boom!!!

Amid the deafening roar, Wang Zhitao's sharp claws and fangs tore a massive wound deep enough to see bone on the Void Sovereign.

Countless shattered world fragments and solidified energy blocks cascaded like an avalanche, each containing astonishing power.

He gaped his huge maw and sucked fiercely at the wound!

"The taste is good! It's just… can't chew it, brother!" Wang Zhitao complained vaguely while devouring.

Every part of the Void Sovereign's body is highly condensed energy and the essence of worlds, and for a Devouring Core Body, it is nothing less than the ultimate gluttonous feast.

However, that massive wound, almost as soon as it was torn open, began to writhe and coalesce.

The surrounding world fragments were drawn by an invisible force, swiftly filling the gap, and within a few breaths it restored to its original state.

"This thing's too big, still can't be killed! It's like an endless buffet!"

Wang Zhitao was somewhat irritated; he could feel his power soaring, but the opponent's size and regeneration gave him a feeling of a mosquito biting an elephant.

The Void Sovereign seemed to realize that physical attacks were ineffective against Wang Zhize.

The bewilderment in its countless dark‑red giant eyes faded, replaced by an even deeper, stranger coldness.

In the next instant, all physical‑level attacks ceased.

The entire world suddenly fell silent.

An intangible attack that spanned matter and energy unfolded directly on the soul level.

"Will Impact!"

The Void Sovereign poured into Wang Zhize's sea of consciousness the ultimate void's grand vision: the deepest despair, wildest resentment, helpless pain of every being in the billions of worlds it has devoured since its birth, the final scenes of those worlds collapsing, the vast blueprint of the Void Net spanning countless eras with the goal of devouring the heavens, and the great vision of the ultimate void's arrival…

All of it coalesced into an indescribable torrent of information, forcefully pouring into Wang Zhize's sea of consciousness!

This wasn't a mere mental attack, but a covering war of civilization and philosophy!

It seeks to crush Wang Zhize's Dao heart with the tragedies of those billions of worlds, and to assimilate his will with that seemingly "great" ultimate goal.

Either it will make him collapse completely, becoming a madman; or it will make him understand and endorse the Void Net's "cause", turning him into one of them!

Within Wang Zhize's consciousness, in his Newborn Realm, a towering wave surged instantly.

The sky was dyed a desperate gray, the earth sank, and the laws wailed.

Countless twisted phantasms, the wails of billions of beings, the grand and cold blueprint of order, raged around his ears, before his eyes, and in every corner of his soul.

"Give up futile resistance, join us, and you will become a creator of the New Order!"

"Witness the ultimate, and you will obtain eternity!"

A grand whisper, accompanied by endless despair, attempts to implant new logic into his soul code.

Wang Zhize's consciousness stood at the center of the Newborn Realm; despite the raging storm, his figure remained as steady as a rock.

"Is that it? I thought there would be something new."

He gazed at the negative information and grand concepts that assaulted his Dao heart, and his eyes showed no hint of wavering.

"I define: your willful assaults are a whetstone."

"I define: your grand visions are a mirage."

His voice is the sole truth of this world.

As soon as the words fell, the negative‑energy storm raging within the Newborn Realm surged like a flood finding an outlet, wildly pouring into the world's central Chaos Furnace.

The furnace spun at high speed, refining all the despair, pain, and madness into the most primal soul energy, which in turn nourished Wang Zhize's will.

Meanwhile, the grand blueprints and law data concerning the Void Web were instantly cracked, analyzed, and reverse‑engineered by him.

"So that's it… after all this, you're just a regional general agent? There's a chairman above?" Wang Zhize's consciousness stroked his chin, and a clear organizational chart formed in his mind.

This so‑called Void Overlord is not the ultimate entity of the Void Web; it is merely a high‑level World Devourer birthed and controlled by the sleeping Great Shadow.

Its task is to continuously devour worlds, providing nourishment and space for the formation of the Ultimate Void World.

"Kill a chicken to warn the monkey? No, that's too petty," Wang Zhize laughed. "Take the whole chicken coop, let the chickens lay eggs for me—that's the true way."

He no longer defends passively; instead, he chooses to strike proactively!

"Newborn Realm, full permissions activated! Laws overlay!"

Boom—!

Wang Zhize's will, enveloping the entire Newborn Realm's creative divine might, acted like an invisible steel seal, stamping forcefully onto the Void Overlord's massive chaotic mind Core!

What he intends is not destruction, but… system reboot!

"I define: you are my servant, obey my command!"

This definition contains the entire order and truth of a world from nothing to something, tyrannical to the point of ignoring all reason!

Roar—!!!

The Void Overlord emitted the most painful, most angry silent roar since its birth.

Its will rebels wildly, the remnants of billions of worlds churn within its mind, attempting to resist the incoming "Heavenly Dao".

However, Wang Zhize's law is the Heavenly Dao!

While its will is forcibly twisted and rewritten, Wang Zhitao's attack becomes the perfect final straw that breaks the camel.

"Bro! It's become brittle! Delicious!"

Wang Zhitao discovered that with that painful roar, the Void Overlord's massive body's energy ceased to be so concentrated, and its consumption efficiency skyrocketed!

He transformed into the most diligent Scavenger, frantically tearing and devouring the Void Overlord's body, weakening its material basis for resistance.

Under the combined internal and external assault, the Void Overlord's resistance grew ever weaker.

Its billions of dark‑red giant eyes began to flicker violently—anger, pain, resentment, bewilderment… In the end, all emotions gradually faded, leaving only a dead‑silent, absolutely obedient coldness.

The law seal representing "servant" successfully etched into its will Core.

Buzz—

The massive Void Overlord ceased trembling; its colossal body, formed from the wreckage of countless worlds, slowly lowered its mountain‑made "head" toward Wang Zhize.

"Alright, the new employee onboarding is complete," Wang Zhize's consciousness clapped, looking at his newly subjugated henchman, a smile curling his lips. "Next, we should hold an all‑staff meeting."
