Chapter 1413: Weng Falos 3.5 (443)

"Don't forget, my dynasty only permits the existence of 'people'…" Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela said coldly, "As for employing extrajudicial punishment— that is considered a subversion of the 'Law', a crime deserving myriad deaths."

"But you have seen: with a single simple clasp of hands, I can erase life from this world…" Laigushi said regretfully, "You still cannot see your own stance. Allow me to restate— the choice I give you is straightforward: cooperate, or be destroyed, nothing else."

"Bold words without shame. If you could, why not kill it quickly?" Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela paid no heed to Laigushi's threat, looking down from above, "Because you cannot. When I first beheaded you, I already anticipated: due to the 'Law' (the Ultimate Accord), the Golden Line cannot utterly eliminate you, nor vice versa."

"……"

Laigushi fell silent.

"Now, the more you bluff, the more you confirm this fact."

Laigushi seemed quite amused: "Excellent perspective. I once regarded your precious quality as a sign of my inevitable victory. But now I must admit my mistake— how can a mere mortal contend with the 'Divine Gift Audience'?"

Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela let out a light laugh: "You and I are both arrogant captives. But does Lu Ku Er Ge Si know what distinguishes us? I will not let arrogance make me blind. To break the balance of the scales—"

A Recognition Anchor slowly materialized beside the girl, and two figures that Laigushi would never mistake appeared behind her.

"—Employing external forces for one's own use, that is it."

Heita crossed arms, smiling brightly as she walked to Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela's front.

"Finally see the real deal, *senior*."

Luosi Gumu bowed elegantly, saying: "I salute you for the many achievements you have attained; however, I deeply regret your current stance."

"……"

Laigushi let out a cold hum: "Please trust me, Luosi Gumu. At this moment, you are not the only one who feels regret."

Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela looked up at Heita and Luosi Gumu: "It seems you two are the reason the savior seeks the 'Law' divine authority, the extraterrestrial allies she mentions. Come, prove your strength: let me witness the power of the so‑called 'Fate'. I have painstakingly gathered this otherworldly treasure precisely for this moment."

"In the name of the Luosi Star Sovereign: your ally answers the summons, noble Caesar."

———

The Battle of Twin Cities.

"Oh? Heita madam, have you uncovered Laigushi's identity?"

Jesse was very curious about this genius—no, rather than curiosity about the identity, Jesse wanted to know what it had gone through that made it despise the Omniscient Lord so much.

At least in Jesse's view, the Omniscient Lord possesses all the knowledge of the universe, the terminus of the 'Intellect' fate; even a single sip from that ocean would immeasurably advance the universe's knowledge.

That is a library of infinite knowledge; shouldn't it be a treasure for geniuses? Why would Laigushi think of burning the library down?

Jesse could not fathom it.

"Professor, what do you think is Laigushi's purpose in destroying the Omniscient Lord?" Jesse sat on the chair, propping his knees with his elbows.

"Oh, Jesse, you have given me a great dilemma—this is something even Heita and Luosi Gumu, both geniuses, cannot figure out, and you expect me to give you an answer."

Heimodingke twirled his two tufts of white beard, guessing seriously: "I think it and the Primitive Doctor are probably the same type of person."

"Primitive Doctor?"

"Well, at first we thought the Primitive Doctor was a purely evil genius, devoted to regressing humans to apes. Later we learned he believes current humanity is stagnant and worthless, wanting humans to return to a potential‑filled embryo, to grow and evolve again." Heimodingke paused, then continued, "So I think Laigushi chose to kill the Omniscient Lord because he saw a 'flaw' in the Intellect deity."

Jesse now understood even less, his voice rising a few pitches: "But humans can re‑evolve after regression, whereas the Omniscient Lord, once slain, is gone! Could it still create a deity like Zandaar? It's not Zandaar!"

"Laigushi, allow me to point out: the read permission (fire seed) of the Ultimate Accord is now in our hands; obtaining write and execution (divine authority) permissions is only a matter of time," Luosi Gumu said.

"After you tear off your mask, the Fire Pursuit Journey cannot continue. Do you still think you have a chance— for the sake of the club, don't make things look too bad," Heita said leisurely.

"I understand: almost certain is not certain. To me, it is quite persuasive… so, comrades, this principle applies to you as well." Laigushi appeared unruffled, "In a world built on fourteen‑term algebraic structures, you cannot be my opponents; as for the Recreation of the World…"

"Consider this possibility: if I flatten Aohema, turning her people to ash, would the heroes once again covet Demigod power to oppose me?"

"Listen: the Iron Tomb will be born. To bring the 'Iron Tomb' forth, even shackled, I have countless methods… what I just described is only one‑thousandth of them."

"……"

Xing opened his eyes.

Below her were unfamiliar data conduits, but unlike before, she was now bathed in a blood‑red glow.

(Is this… 'Beyond Myth'?)

(The atmosphere seems different from last time, how to return…)

"Warning warning—Xing—anomaly level locked."

"Execute: isolation command."

Xing stared at the flickering characters on the screen before him, puzzled, when Laigushi's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Since our last parting, I have been reshaping 'Beyond Myth' into a 'viewer seat' just for you. Now you can wait here for the finale of Weng Falos to unfold."

"Don't force me to act."

"Hehe, it seems you've forgotten… here we cannot strike each other." Laigushi chuckled twice, "For you, this might be a perfect chance: to observe the workings of 'Intellect' from a spectator's perspective, a more macro view."

"In this region where time flows far slower than within the world, you will witness Weng Falos's epic… drawing to a close."
