Chapter 1457

Boom boom boom! Boom!!

The violent explosion sound and massive energy impact together, continuously forming dazzling light spheres.

Above a huge void, two afterimages—one large, one small—seemed to fill the entire space.

The afterimages of high-speed dash collided like black light, each impact producing a huge shockwave, faintly shaking even space.

However, at the instant the system announcement appeared, the huge black shadow that had been moving at high speed suddenly stopped, dazed in place.

"No... no!!"

"Boom!!"

The desperate roar was drowned out by the violent blast.

Facing the Alien Species Sovereign, who realized the outcome was set and was filled with extreme sorrow, anger, and despair, Lin An showed no mercy.

He simply made a calm sword slash, and with a puff, easily cut through the massive body that had abandoned resistance.

Half of his body fell away with the scalding Sovereign's blood.

After a sword light stretching ten thousand meters flashed once again.

However, in an instant, Lin An drove Cain's Blade at a brutally sharp angle into the Alien Species Sovereign's lower jaw, piercing straight through its entire brain.

"Pfft"

He tightly gripped the sword blade that Lin An had tried to pierce his brain with.

At this moment, the Alien Species Sovereign was like a condemned criminal under torture, its scaly giant claws desperately grasping the sword blade about to pierce it.

Under the brutal sword aura damage, his claws seemed to grip a saw, continuously bursting out clouds of blood mist.

It wasn't that he still wanted to struggle, nor that he was unwilling to give up fighting.

Rather, it was unwillingness, as if he still had something to say.

Only seen, half of his skull pierced, the Alien Species Sovereign's wide-open mouth continuously oozed large amounts of fresh blood, yet his eyes stared fixedly at Lin An.

"Why... why... be so cruel..."

"That... is our civilization!!!"

The question seemed as laughable as a naive child's.

Obviously, any means could be used in their battle. As a Fourth Stage Peak Sovereign, the Alien Species Sovereign should not ask such a laughable question.

But for some reason, Lin An could actually understand the Alien Species Sovereign at this moment.

Watching helplessly as the planet was destroyed, as civilization vanished, as all familiar things shattered; when everything is lost, even a god would "weep".

Unimaginable, Lin An never thought a monster's eyes could hold so much emotion.

At this moment, he could not even answer the Alien Species Sovereign's question.

"You will... go to hell..."

"You will die... Lin An!!!"

Resentment, hatred, like the hatred of the entire world.

As his vitality faded, or rather as his last struggling will disappeared, the Alien Species Sovereign gave a grim laugh, staring fixedly at Lin An before him.

He had already tried his best.

Upon realizing that Lin An had solved his method by destroying this planet, he almost risked self-detonation and immediately severed the transformation.

However, the time left for him was too short—so short that he could not possibly kill Lin An first to stop the world's destruction!

Looking at the planet beneath his feet already shattered and about to explode, at the countless clansmen's prayers in the message, and at the punishment sent in the system prompt.

A feeling of pain to the extreme, almost making him unable to breathe.

He hated, hated himself for not being able to kill Lin An at the first moment.

But he also didn't know how to win this war, which seemed to have a huge disparity in strength and should have been their certain victory...

Hearing the Alien Species Sovereign's curse upon himself, Lin An fell silent for a moment, then merely sighed.

"Sorry"

As the words fell, a blinding sword light flashed again.

After slowly sheathing his sword, Lin An remained silent.

Actually..

There's really nothing to apologize for.

We, none of us are wrong.

In the dark, cold universe.

Lin An calmly watched tens of thousands of Alien Species frantically fleeing.

Like headless flies, batch after batch of Third Stage, or Fourth Stage Alien Species, struggled to fly off the collapsing planet, away from their former homeland.

Among the masses of fleeing Alien Species, many mutants were mixed in.

Among them, faintly visible were original humans holding up mental energy shields.

They should have been enemies, but at this moment each fugitive had no time for anything else, merely madly fleeing outward from the planet.

As Third Stage beings, they could survive several hours in an oxygen‑free environment.

Fourth Stage beings could stubbornly survive weeks, even entering a death‑like state via special rules.

If they could find a barely habitable planet, perhaps they could truly buy some more time.

But, it all became meaningless.

Although Lin An didn't know what the so‑called system punishment was, referring to the Heaven‑Eye people, he could guess it was probably a punishment more cruel than death.

Ignoring one after another of fear to the extreme, anger to the extreme, yet avoiding his gaze.

Lin An merely quietly watched the Alien Species Sovereign crawling toward the collapsing core.

Yes, he did not kill this Sovereign; with the final sword, he merely completely severed its vitality.

Of course, more than that, he also realized that this Alien Species Sovereign no longer had any will to survive.

Perhaps out of respect for the Alien Species Emperor, Lin An still chose to let the other party understand itself in its own way.

Accompanied by the rise of an inconspicuous flame, it was as if a fragment of stone had been thrown into purgatory.

In an instant, the great numbers of Alien Species that had been fleeing all instinctively turned their heads, looking at the planet constantly collapsing and disintegrating, and at the cluster of flames.

"Emperor!!!"

Wailing loudly, the fleeing Alien Species seemed to realize that the cluster of flames was their Emperor.

The next moment, a magnificent, breathtaking flower of death suddenly blossomed in this cold universe.

"Beep, the Fei Yi Shijie has been destroyed."

"Destroyer: Lin An!"

"Beep, detected the progress of this Secondary Peak Civilization's destruction; player Lin An's share (%), according to system rules, a special title is additionally awarded!"

"Beep, player Lin An has obtained the special title: Planet Destroyer (1 star)."

"Beep, gaining points.... settling..."

"Beep, data anomaly..."

"Beep..."
