Chapter 1748

3「Boom!! 」

What a fast reaction.

As soon as the contest ended, the two Star-Destroying Level beings—the Overlord and the Radiant Heart—spoke not a word and suddenly attacked each other.

Unlike mortals, who still look ahead and behind, considering much.

For Star-Destroying Level beings, the moment they assess the situation, they immediately choose to act!

「Bang!! 」

The rules violently collide.

The dark spatial rift and the blinding light instantly collide.

Just like a pre-written script, Hei Di gave a low chuckle, having long prepared, and at that moment stepped back, distancing himself from the center of the two's rule collision.

Knowing one cannot fall into a trap—so what? Star-Destroyers are all ruthless, seeking only to survive.

Nothing complicated.

Under the threat of the Star-Shatterer, having seized this opportunity, the situation naturally unfolds thus.

He is willing to surrender to Lin An, willing to be a dog—isn't it all for this moment?

His eyes full of amusement.

Standing silently outside the rule collision, Hei Di patiently awaited the final outcome.

「Kill... 」

「This will be a very interesting game... 」

Condensed Light Deflection!

Annihilating Flare!!

「Hei Di!!! 」

「Boom!!! 」

The violent roar of the light stream drowned out the Overlord's unwilling roar.

Under the full-force attack of the fellow Star-Destroying Level Radiant Heart, the Overlord struck by a torrent-like energy instantly melted like metal; the spatial distortion rules originally covering his surface were completely stripped away at that moment.

It wasn't that he couldn't defeat the Radiant Heart, but at the crucial moment, Hei Di actually launched a sneak attack on him!

The instantly activated Black Light Domain dragged him forcibly from the spatial interlayer; facing a full-strength blow of equal rank, he was caught between two fronts—how could he possibly block it!?

Especially...

「Why!? You said you'd only kill one! 」

「Why me!!! 」

「I've never offended you!!! 」

His whole body charred, blood flowing freely.

Pierced through and blown apart in the light, then immediately controlled by Hei Di. In the deep pit, the Overlord's eyes were blood-red, nearly at the peak of fury.

Although fury is an emotion that should never appear in a Star-Destroying Level being.

Yet he simply couldn't understand! Clearly Hei Di could spare anyone, so why intervene and spare him!?

「Why? 」

「Have I done something wrong? 」

Faced with the Overlord's roar, Hei Di wore a look of bewilderment, as if utterly unable to comprehend how he could ask such a foolish question.

「I said, I will only kill one of you. 」

「You staying behind isn't exactly good? 」

A scoffing laugh.

Hei Di shook his head, looking pitifully at the Overlord in the deep pit.

「I'm curious—how did you become a Star-Destroyer? 」

「Do you think I should let you fight fairly, then spare whoever wins? 」

「You think I don't see that you've been holding back power to escape? 」

「You're stronger than the Radiant Heart, so I naturally chose to strike you. 」

Hearing that the Overlord seemed to deem his move unfair, Hei Di found it hilarious to the extreme. Yet he also knew the Overlord was the one with the most problematic intellect among all Star-Destroyers.

Overlord, hailing from a powerful fourth-level civilization.

Unlike most of their Star-Destroying Level beings, the Overlord is neither a civilization leader nor a racial hope.

As an excellent warrior of his civilization, the Overlord merely came to complete a mission, gaining a few Apocalypse points to boost his score.

Thus, in the eyes of other Star-Destroying Levels, the Overlord is essentially a greenhouse flower, far lacking the Apocalypse ordeals endured by others.

「The War Alliance won't let you off! Hei Di! You will surely die! That Star-Shatterer will surely kill you too! 」

「A self-degraded dog! 」

Ignoring the Overlord's childish tirade.

Hei Di flew expressionlessly to the Radiant Heart's side, giving a slight nod.

Noticing that Hei Di had confirmed he would only kill the Overlord, the Radiant Heart, having expended most of its rule energy, instantly felt a great relief and then looked toward Hei Di with a somewhat appeasing expression.

「Hei Di, I'll be going first. 」

「If possible, please convey my regards to the Lin Emperor. Although we are not on the same side, at the final moment... 」

The Radiant Heart forced an awkward smile, yet beneath its light-ball-like exterior lay something somewhat eerie.

She did not want to be a dog, nor dare to stay beside Lin An.

But, knowing that perhaps in the end she would still have to face Lin An, she was not unable to defect.

To live, is more important than anything.

He heard that Guangyao's Heart was not willing to leave a handle for himself, but he also feared Lin An.

Hei Di casually nodded his head.

"No problem."

"However, Guangyao, you can leave if you want, but aren't you going to say something?"

"Otherwise, I really can't face reporting to the Lin Emperor..."

After saying that, Hei Di gave a cold chuckle, turned his head, and looked at the clansmen brought by Guangyao's Heart.

In his hand, a portal to summon Lin An suddenly condensed again.

The threatening meaning goes without saying.

"You!!?"

In an instant, Guangyao's Heart stared blankly, then immediately realized what Hei Di actually intended to do.

This sneaky, deceitful, despicable villain!

Letting her go is fine, but he must leave her with money to buy her life!

One minute later.

Hei Di satisfiedly watched the ten Fifth Stage individuals left behind, seeing off Guangyao's Heart as he departed.

From afar, Hei Di at this moment looked like an old fox who had just achieved great success, his mood extremely good.

Under such disgusting behavior, Guangyao's Heart didn't even want to stay for a second.

Only at the moment when the Radiant One left, in a place she had never seen.

At this very moment, the black emperor, who had been full of greed, suddenly withdrew his smile.

Only see him silently flying toward the deep pit where the Overlord was trapped in layers of black light, as if pondering something.

"Hei Di, if you want to kill me, then kill me!"

"What, you still plan to lick that person's toes, send me over, and give me to that person to kill?"

"Utterly foolish, only a coward who surrenders to become a dog!"

Utter mockery.

Knowing his own mistake, he realized Hei Di had seized the opportunity.

The Overlord glared angrily at Hei Di, then simply cursed him to his heart's content. At least when he dies, he wants to curse this damned dog!

His combat ability is clearly not weak, and can even be considered among the Star-Destroyers who are relatively hard to kill.

But for some unknown reason, all the Star-Destroying Level beings on the battlefield always intentionally or unintentionally 'harass' him, forcing him to flee everywhere.

Everyone was draining his strength, and only then did Hei Di catch his loophole!

Unwilling, he truly is unwilling!

However, contrary to the Overlord's expectation, Hei Di would mock him a bit before killing him.

The next second.

Only see Hei Di suddenly release the black light rules on his body, and coldly say:

"Idiot.."

"You think I'm going to kill you?"

"No, I'm saving you."

"Moreover, only I can save you!"
