Chapter 632

The Titanic robot hurled its hand toward the sky, flinging a golden ring into the air.

The Silent King’s detectors told him it was merely an ordinary metal ring, nothing special.

Precisely because of this, the Silent King hesitated for an instant, fearing it was a trap designed to lure him away from the Webway Veil, and thus failed to react in time.

In that very moment of hesitation, the golden ring was captured by Orykan’s gravitational control and slipped into his hand.

Immediately afterward, Orykan’s figure erupted into a raging blaze and slammed straight into the Webway Veil surrounding the Silent King.

The Veil rippled violently, yet even the power of a Star God could not pierce a brand-new Webway Veil in an instant—the Silent King was utterly certain of this, his confidence rooted in his enemy’s creations.

At the end of the War in Heaven, the stars dimmed, the Old Ones retreated behind the Milky Way, relying on fortresses woven from the Webway to stubbornly resist the Star Gods’ assaults—until the Burner burned through the Webway, and the war entered its final phase.

Yet Orykan’s power now was far inferior to the Burner’s—he could not possibly—

Orykan reached out a hand from within the fire and clamped the golden ring onto the Webway Veil.

Then—a hole appeared on the Webway Veil, materializing out of nowhere, with no energy signature, slipping through the hardened Veil as effortlessly as if the hole had always been there, merely expanded by the golden ring.

Orykan’s slender metallic fingers extended through the hole, gripping its edge; his head leaned forward, fixing the Silent King with eyes glowing orange-red.

“Hehe.”

“Silent King.”

“I’m coming in!”

Orykan transformed into a roaring torrent of energy and surged through the hole, his grinning face appearing directly before the Silent King.

Having just consumed fragments of the Deceiver and absorbed His energy, Orykan had unconsciously been influenced by the Deceiver, becoming elated.

“Don’t come in!!!”

The Silent King stared at Orykan, who had suddenly intruded—his crooked smile, eight-tenths identical to the Deceiver’s—triggered a flood of PTSD, and he screamed involuntarily.

He raised his spear with a sudden motion, expending most of his remaining energy to thrust it at Orykan.

Orykan’s metallic body instantly cracked open; vast energy surged and leaked from his form.

In that instant, the Silent King judged Orykan’s state to be incomplete—he was now a full Star God, but this form could not be sustained for long.

He must have absorbed immense energy to reach this state; once the energy was depleted, he would naturally collapse.

Moreover, Orykan had only just ascended to Star Godhood—he surely could not yet master the Aether properly, and still had vulnerabilities—

“I said, I’ve already completed the Star God ascension technique. Didn’t you hear me?”

Orykan sneered, as if reading the Silent King’s thoughts:

“What has always limited me is nothing but energy.”

The cracks on Orykan’s body sealed themselves, and his metallic fingers extended toward the Silent King.

“Spacetime Discontinuity Eliminator” activated, attempting to erase the discontinuities in surrounding spacetime.

But it failed.

Orykan’s fingers violently rewrote the fundamental physical logic of spacetime, rendering the Silent King’s “Spacetime Discontinuity Eliminator” utterly inert; simultaneously, the device on the Silent King’s back flared with light and instantly shattered.

Orykan seemed to intend to directly alter the physical laws around the Silent King—but he failed; the spear, forged specifically to slay Star Gods, protected the Silent King’s existence.

So Orykan resorted to a more direct method of killing: his fingers, condensed with intense heat, began to reach for the Silent King.

The searing energy immediately began melting the Silent King’s body—even the skin shielding his Star God form started to dissolve under Orykan’s approach.
