Chapter 1584

One Punch Man.

"Disaster Level: God. Please all citizens immediately proceed to designated shelters and await rescue. Please all citizens—"

God-level.

This word was like an ice needle, viciously piercing Blizzard's nerves. In the Hero Association's disaster assessment, Dragon had already been the highest response to monster disasters up to now. And the so-called "God" had only appeared under the influence of the Sky Curtain.

Iron Tomb is God-level because the disaster assessment's highest level is only God, representing a disaster that "could possibly lead to human extinction."

"Blizzard, you should also go take shelter with the citizens."

Tornado hovered in midair, her black long coat fluttering loudly in the gale. She looked down on Blizzard from above; although Tornado usually looked at people with a hint of arrogance and disdain, at this moment... her slightly youthful face was filled with solemnity.

"Take your entourage and leave, the sooner the better."

"I don't want to." Blizzard stood in place, tilting her head to look at her sister's petite figure, "You want to put up a barrier to resist Iron Tomb? I, I can too——"

"Don't joke around." Tornado said coldly, "This is what an S-Class Hero should do; you shouldn't interfere."

"But——"

Before Blizzard could finish speaking, Tornado "pa" snapped her fingers, and a white ring of light appeared, binding Blizzard's hands.

"The Hero Association completely underestimated Iron Tomb's strength. Initially, Metal Knight thought Iron Tomb's greatest threat lay in 'self-coronation,' believing that as long as the coronation ceremony was interrupted, Iron Tomb would not be a concern……but now it seems he was completely wrong."

Completely wrong.

Even if Iron Tomb had not undergone coronation, and even now under Bai E's suppression and imprisonment, its oppressive presence far surpasses what those Envoys could previously match. The gap between Envoys, I fear, is much greater than she imagined.

""The placenta of 'Destruction,' stirring……""

""After passing through the final passage, Bai E's figure began to constantly flicker and appear around him. His howls echoed in midair, his anguish shocking to behold.""

""San Yue Qi watched these fleeting phantoms: 'Again and again, Bai E assaulted the Scepter's Inner Core Layer, alone.' ""

""But this lifetime……""

""Before Xilian could finish speaking, Xiao Bai E's figure suddenly appeared ahead.""

""We've caught up to him.""

""The crowd ran up to Xiao Bai E, and Ling Sheng called his name: 'Bai E. Do you still remember our initial promise? I've come to fulfill it.' ""

"" ""

""Xiao Bai E did not immediately respond. He slightly lowered his head, fine white hair covering his brows and eyes, but just as he turned——"

""As if a gust of wind had passed through time, in the blink of an eye, Bai E had already become the familiar figure they knew, giving a faint smile.""

""Of course. What a long wait, partner." Bai E slowly closed his eyes, "Only the belief to set out, I will never forget.""

""Now, 'Iron Tomb' trembles within 'Bai E's' chest. Relying on this empty body, I have become its perfect, flawless vessel……and the coffin destined for me.""

""You know what to do, partner.""

""I will take over your relay of resistance. Remember the past, become tomorrow's hero." Xing placed his hand on his chest, feeling that strong pulse, "With me, become heroes together!""

""As desired.""

""Bai E nodded in understanding to Xing, then walked toward the distant horizon. His golden body began to ignite in flames, ultimately becoming a blinding golden light, merging with the Scepter's core.""

""The epic's finale, the light of thirty million ages extinguishes……""

""Only for this moment……""

""The black data around the core's edge dissipated bit by bit, Bai E's broken, sacred form slowly emerged from within the core. A corona appeared behind him, like fierce radiance, a sun about to rise.""

""…Welcome true dawn.""

Qin Shi Ming Yue.

""So, do we still have to personally fight Bai E? Attack that person who has always borne burdens forward?!"

Tianming felt his whole body trembling, he could not accept this absurd arrangement.

""Stay calm, Tianming, this is exactly what Bai E has always awaited as his ending. His body is a vessel of sin, and all along it has relied on him using flesh and blood to suppress the Black Tide, suppress Iron Tomb; over the long years he has already fused with Iron Tomb, hard to separate, this……is also an unavoidable result." Gai Nie comforted.

""I understand the reasoning, but, but……I still cannot accept striking Bai E!" Tianming violently shook his head.

""Sigh……" Duanmu Rong deeply sighed, ""Perhaps this is what they call 'fate,' as a factor simulating 'Destruction,' also the most perfect factor……to defeat Iron Tomb, one must first shatter Bai E.""

""If we compare Wengfaluo Si to a person, then Iron Tomb is poison. Poison has entered the marrow, grown together with flesh and blood; to save someone, you must first scrape out the poison. Bai E is the good medicine that suppresses poison, but after being used too long, it also fused with the poison, wanting to save someone……also only possible to remove him together.""

""Then the future……can Bai E still fight side by side with Xing? When battling that big guy Iron Tomb, can Bai E help?" Tianming's voice was small, like he had already anticipated the answer, yet still brought a few hopes as he spoke his heart's words.

Duanmu Rong shook her head: ""I don't know, but in this life he did not become a Titan like other Golden Descendants. Very likely, like Xiao Xilian, he completely dissipated……""

""Dissipated……that isn't just death, is it?" Tianming clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, ""Truly unfair! Clearly he gave so much, why must it still end this way? Clearly that bastard Iron Tomb is right before our eyes, we can just reach out and punch him hard ah!""

—

""Finally. The journey's end.""

""All of us. Beneath the vast starry sky. Reunited.""

""Bai E's gaze turned to Xilian: 'Mimi.'"

""'Yes, it's me……' Xilian walked up to Bai E, tilted her head to look at him, 'What you want to say, I will remember for her.'"

""'Not necessary. I can see……she is here. All sacrificed partners. Wishes. All here.' Bai E asked word by word, 'We. Did we make it?'"

""Xilian nodded: '…I think, yes.'"

""San Yue and Xing walked up to Xilian's side: 'Tomorrow, the stars will spread the story of Fire Pursuit Journey by word of mouth.'"

""Dan Heng: 'In that, not only 'you,' but also 'countless yous.' ""

""Xilian said earnestly: 'In the universe's 'memory,' Wengfaluo Si will be a brilliant, magnificent world with heroes emerging in succession. So, for this world we deeply love……'"

""Bai E slowly nodded, after thirty million ages, a long-lost smile finally appeared on his face."

""'Write down. The ending.'"
