Chapter 50
Of course, although he could master physical rules that were among the most ultimate abilities of celestial bodies, a Herrscher was not invincible.
Just like Luo Li now, he could not make the black hole permanently stable.
But even so, the black hole born from this severely distorted time and space, and the space torn by the Rifthounds was interfered with, twisting and collapsing inch by inch.
The surrounding monster groups were also affected, swallowed up by the black hole.
In just a short moment, the black hole simulating a celestial collapse expanded to the size of several miles, its range of influence expanding to tens of kilometers.
The impotently furious monster groups had no power to resist and were crushed into molecules by the black hole formed by super-high mass.
With this, the pressure on the field was suddenly greatly reduced.
To this extent, Raiden Makoto could no longer intervene at all, leaning against Luo Li, with the Void Spears transformed into sharp ribbons guarding her.
Every swing brought a large area of flesh and blood flying.
It gave the illusion of a "musou" mowing down grass.
While Luo Li was slaughtering in all directions here, the other battlefields were not very optimistic.
Morax and Barbatos were both fine, fully able to keep up with the speed of exterminating the monsters.
But the situation of the other gods was not so good.
Luo Li had no spare time to help others at the moment; the Herrscher core derived from the Gem of Conquest activated its authority, relying on the physical rules of manipulating electromagnetic force to lay down a magnetic field around his body.
And like the former host of the Herrscher of Thunder, he expanded it into a "super-electric field that insulated physical and energy attacks around his body" and an "electromagnetic pulse that destroyed chemical bonds within molecules."
Regarding the use of Herrscher authority, Luo Li knew he had not yet reached the peak.
The twelve cores included various ever-changing abilities, and wanting to explore any one of them to the limit would require a great deal of time.
But it was more than enough for the current battlefield; the bursting thunder light formed long arcs, and under the distortion and squeezing of gravity, it jumped through the monster groups like chain lightning.
The earth cracked for it, and the Abyss formed only to be shattered.
Under the swallowing of the giant black hole, even the light cast down by the stars became dim.
At the same time, the decay authority of the Herrscher of Death was also constantly reaping the lives of enemies; unlike the Ruin-series autonomous humanoids, monsters also had lives.
"If things continue like this, wanting to destroy Khaenri'ah in a short time is simply impossible."
Luo Li, who was still slacking off, had just finished speaking when, as if to spite him or compare with him.
The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles on Celestia, the Goddess of the Crimson Moon, took action again.
Similarly, an ability that seemed to manipulate space appeared, and large, continuous black-red rhomboid shapes fell rapidly, and everything that passed through, not just life, but even any matter, was erased.
Finally, the crimson light resembled a long snake crossing Khaenri'ah, setting off a monstrous sea of fire.
Witnessing the land crumbling inch by inch, the citizens who could not escape were buried in the divine punishment, and everything in sight was a deep red.
Cries and screams were endless, and there was no shortage of lost loved ones.
At this very moment, children and adults were treated equally, all dying miserably.
The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles remained expressionless, instead using her authority, vowing to strike Khaenri'ah down into the Abyss, never to rise again.
And Luo Li had no grudge against Khaenri'ah, and his own personality was not that of a murderous maniac, so he did not invade the city, but tried his best to slaughter the monster groups.
Raiden Makoto naturally could not have any objections; she herself loved peace, and if it weren't for the order of the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, it would be impossible for her to come to invade another country's land.
"Sigh, those innocent people, watching them be buried, it is really..."
Witnessing the miserable state of the Khaenri'ah citizens with her own eyes, Raiden Makoto’s eyes revealed unbearable pain, even though she knew that if Luo Li hadn't followed, she would have been buried by the hands of Khaenri'ah.
"It has nothing to do with us; after this event is over, you can repay my life-saving grace when we go back." At this juncture, Luo Li was still in the mood to joke.
Normally she might have rolled her eyes at him, but the current Makoto just looked at him gently, unexpectedly agreeing.
"Alright, when we go back this time, I will grant you one request."
How did that sound like a flag being planted?
While Luo Li complained, he couldn't help but ask: "Any request is fine?"
"Anything is fine."
He couldn't help but be stunned; he had thought the joke would be rejected as usual, who could have expected she would actually agree this time?!
While he was stunned, the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles had already killed her way into the interior of the Khaenri'ah city.
A moment later, large areas of the underground collapsed, and the empty city gradually fell into the Abyss.
Not long after, when the underground tremors stopped, the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles flew back to the sky.
She glanced at Luo Li, her gaze lingering for an exceptionally long time, before returning to Celestia without looking back.
Luo Li didn't notice this, but interestingly, he inadvertently saw a pair of blonde siblings running through the city of Khaenri'ah amidst the sea of fire.
"That is... Aether and Lumine? The twin travelers from another world, this is truly a coincidence."
Under his gaze, the blonde twin siblings seemed to have detected that the disaster-stricken Khaenri'ah had no chance left, and in a panic, they ran away from the battlefield, spreading their wings and flying toward the high heavens.
"Want to run? Too bad it's too late; the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles won't let you come and go as you please."
On another day, Luo Li felt the two might have had a chance to escape the Teyvat continent and find the next world to continue their journey.
But now that the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles had just unleashed divine punishment to destroy Khaenri'ah, and the two wanted to run away before Celestia had even gone far, wasn't that treating her like a blind person?
Sure enough, after watching the twins fly away from the starry sky, not long after, a broken Nail of Cold Sky fell from the sky, landing in some unlucky place unknown.
Presumably, the twins were already fighting the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, and Luo Li was happy to watch the show.
But following right after the twins, the ground at the edge of Khaenri'ah shattered with a roar, and a pitch-black dragon with ferocious barbs spread its wings and tore through the sky, flying toward the distant horizon, disappearing in a few moments.
The sudden change made Luo Li stunned for a moment, and by the time he reacted, the target was already lost.
"The evil dragon Durin?"
The only dragon he could think of that could appear here was the "humus layer" created by Rhinedottir.
Come to think of it, this dragon was also a tragedy.
It thought it was born into a beautiful world, able to enjoy the birds singing and flowers fragrant, and play happily with humans.
As a result, what it brought to the world was disaster and virulent poison.
What greeted it was not smiles and friendliness, but hatred and fear.
