Chapter 596: The Self-Destruction Style

Although he had not reached the legendary realm, how could Meng Qi be judged by ordinary standards, especially since he wielded a realm's heavenly Dao.

Purple lightning spread like water, crackling as it surged with terrifying, boundless might, striking three inches before Shi Hao's chest, where he had blocked the assault with the Great Luo Sword Embryo.

Without warning, and never expecting an attack from him, electric serpents crawled over Shi Hao's radiant aura.

The Knife of Cause and Effect is no pleasure to endure.

"What are you doing?!"

Yet Meng Qi's sudden change of tactics was only the beginning.

A one-eyed girl with black hair and golden eyes, wielding a Fate Spear embedded with Infinity Stones, rode an eight-legged divine steed and halted Teacher Yan Sen's assault with radiant cosmic energy like an aurora.

Her gaze was more resolute than ever; amid the stunned expression of the elderly Thor watching nearby, she launched a barrage of counterattacks like rain.

Ye Fan, who had just shattered the Illusory Realm riding nine black dragons, consumed a sliver of Tiancheng's foundational essence through the method "Controlling the Void to Govern the Manifest," manifesting the nine dragon corpses and the ancient bronze coffin—deeply tied to his own karmic threads—here, thus avoiding Su Lin's arranged artifact, "Mercedes."

Just as he was about to charge toward the red-haired woman, he suddenly felt heat beside him.

Boom—!

Heavenly elemental flames coiled into dragons, illuminating heaven and earth, burning all things to ash, plummeting down to engulf the sea of glazed flames, scorching and evaporating ten thousand layers of laws.

Layer upon layer of void were pierced; after a high-pitched dragon roar, Ye Fan emerged from the fire, carrying the coffin, gazing at Xiao Yan, who stood there with burning fists raised, alternating punches in silence.

"Use the Flame Fist on him."

Xiao Yan began advancing, his figure flickering constantly: "A voice in my head told me to."

Are you out of your mind?!

Ye Fan had intended to say that, but suddenly, a fragment of Illusory Space shattered—Song Shuhang, who had been flying while dragging a blade, his eyes swirling with seven-colored light, froze upon seeing the newcomer.

"Eh?! Master Fala!!!"

Fala, standing at a distance, turned her head toward Song Shuhang upon hearing him; seeing his eye technique, her icy face revealed clear surprise and astonishment.

"Your eye technique…?"

"Master Su Lin taught it to me!"

Song Shuhang gave a simple, earnest smile and asked: "Are you here to find Master Su Lin?"

"He's here?" Fala blinked.

"Of course he is—though not as Tony Teacher. Here, Master Su Lin—he…" Song Shuhang glanced into the Golden Hall, where the golden-haired figure had vanished without a trace:

"He was just here?"

Only Yi Leina, Zhou Mingrui, and others remained inside the hall.

Puff—!

Ye Fan clutched his chest and spat out golden blood, heavy as ten thousand jin.

"Looks like I'm out."

Ye Fan smiled at Xiao Yan and gave a thumbs-up: "I lost this time, little Yan. Even dying once was worth it."

At those words, his spirit body, formed of ethereal particles, began to dissolve.

The battlefield's situation and atmosphere grew strangely odd.

Meng Qi, Lu Mingfei, and Xiao Yan subtly formed a triangular encirclement, while Fala at the center radiated increasingly dense magical light.

"Without the master's permission, a mage shouldn't be able to use the Tianhe Battle Robe."

Fala turned to Yi Leina, who was channeling magic through her staff, and asked: "What is your relationship with my ex-husband—no, my husband Su Lin?"

Yi Leina, who had been preparing a cross-realm talisman to return to her own world and return the Tianhe Battle Robe to Su Lin, twitched her lips.

Husband?

How bold of you to say that.

"You've got the wrong timeline," Yi Leina said, lowering her staff. "He is not your husband in this timeline."

"That robe is the sole artifact born after all timelines converged." Fala's figure flickered, instantly appearing inside the Golden Hall:

"Strictly speaking, my meeting with him is still decades away—but the fact that he is my husband, like this robe, has already been converged."

"How long are you going to hide?"

【Arcane Formula · Radiant World】

Like a glass bottle shattering, a crisp sound rang out as a scene of cosmic stars appeared—on it, a throne supported by two mercury serpents, wings of dimensional shards, and a black-haired man in military uniform seated upon it.

Everyone turned their gaze toward that spot—the one who had first messaged the group, saying he'd met a "hardcore opponent"—Su Lin's true form.

"Let me clarify—I only just clarified the current situation."

Su Lin returned to his original form, looked at the red-haired woman staring at him, and wore an expression of "I knew it felt familiar":

"Looks like we can't avoid starting with a fight upon our first meeting—this must be what they call the Night of Fate's Arrival."

He recalled the encounter recorded in that "Future Diary," sighed helplessly, then smiled again.

"In this timeline, this is our first meeting. Hello, I'm Su Lin." Su Lin greeted naturally.

Yi Leina twitched her lips: "You don't even know what she looks like?!"

Around him, glances filled with the same question appeared—including within the chat group, where question marks now flooded the screen.

"Life always needs some anticipation—like meeting a stranger."

Wait, bro…

Isn't she your future heroine?!

"After cultivating Tianwang, I'm very satisfied with my mental state—I planned to stay single forever and enjoy it."

So after reading Su Tuoni's diary, he took no further action, never even considering memory fusion.

This guy is truly a rare oddity.

Even Song Shuhang knows who she is—and you're still fighting her?

Unaware, Teacher Yan Sen and others, after being briefed by those in the know, likewise cast peculiar glances toward the scene.

Although I don't know why Farah is connected to the Cycle Space, from the fact that she also knows future events, it must be because the past underwent similar changes.

Or perhaps she has already become the Emperor of Time, unifying all temporal anchor points.

Of course, none of these are critical.

What matters is that we're about to taste a state banquet cooked personally by Su Lin, the master chef.

Su Lin stood up and walked toward her, pulled out a Cross-Dimension Rune and opened a portal, his lips beginning to curl into an uncontrollable smile:

"I'm Su Lin—but not the Su Lin you're looking for."

"You're the Creator."

Farah stared at Su Lin, her crimson-gold eyes flickering with light; she interrupted: "Is the witch's flavor quite nice?"

Uh.

Telepathy?

"Miss Farah, let's be reasonable."

"Why should I listen to your reason?"

Farah cut in again, expressionless: "You've only let me and that stray tomcat wear the Tianhe Battle Suit."

The crimson glow in her eyes deepened, and the surrounding universe—no one knew when—began to unfold folded spaces.

"You can't control your heat cycle?"

"Let me explain first."

"When have I ever listened to your explanations?"

"?"

The instant Su Lin formed the question mark, a brilliant torrent erupted—sudden, without warning.

Crackling—!

It shattered through layers of spacetime, flew from the inner universe into the Golden Hall, and crashed with a boom onto the divine statue built from soul energy.

"Strong!"

"NICE!"

"This is exactly what I wanted to see!"

Outside the Golden City, Meng Qi, wielding the King's Ultimate Blade, scratched his head like a baboon; Lu Mingfei gripped his spear and manifested countless forms with the Reality Stone to block other Cycle travelers; Xiao Yan went all out, using the Qi Sea Dragon Transformation and Dan Fire Cosmology to flood the entire star region with exotic fireworks.

For a moment, dazzling radiance rose across all of New York!

Inside Stark Tower, the prototype multiverse sandbox began shaking violently with clanging sounds.

Glittering waves rippled as Farah stepped out from forcibly twisted dimensions and realities, holding a staff entirely adorned with starpoints.

"Last time with Yao Tian too—your luck with women," Yi Leina raised her staff and repeated the same trick, gritting her teeth:

"Apart from me, they're all clearly weirdos!"

"." Su Lin stood up, brushed off the dust, tugged at his lips, and looked at Yi Leina, as if wanting to speak but holding back.

"What's that look for?!"

"Nothing."

Su Lin patted Yi Leina's shoulder and signaled her to step back.

"I've been monitoring and tracing the entire timeline of your home universe. At this moment, you absolutely cannot be the Creator of any multiverse."

This time, Farah stepped effortlessly out of the rift:

"And you—who long ago unified all timelines and possibilities, then burned them—now claim to be the Su Lin of a Parallel World?"

"See? I'm still reasonable."

"You just think I'm easy to fool."

As if responding to Yi Leina's earlier remark about weirdos, Farah slowly explained her reasoning.

Su Lin merely spread his hands; honestly, he was starting to get cold feet about marriage:

"I can take you to find Su."

"I spent tens of thousands of times longer searching for you in the future. That stray cat was pitiful, so I had certain expectations—I could even just get it neutered and keep it as a pet—but—"

Farah tilted her head; a strand of red hair fell before her right eye. Her tone remained calm, yet overlapping voices echoed, a piercing gaze flowing backward from a distant future:

"If you think you can use clones and timeline-cutting—common cheating methods in the Void—to find a third woman."

"I think I've told you many times about the customs of the Supreme Witch."

"The only way to divorce or cheat is complete, irreversible death—with no possibility of resurrection."

Stable. All stable!

It's a yandere!

Su Tuoni's happiness in this life is secured.

Seeing Su Lin's smiling lips, Farah asked: "Is it that funny?"

"Not at all." Su Lin coughed twice, surveyed the spectators in the sky with masterful calm, seized the opening, and said:

"Don't you know what kind of person Su Lin is?"

"You fell in love with 'Su Lin'—you must understand 'Su Lin' deeply."

"With a love that endures beyond death, how could you possibly seek new lovers or open a harem?"

What does Su study?

Finance and civil engineering!

Sorry, slip of the tongue—it's Bai Ta Psychology.

How could something like this—enduring a harem disaster for Su Tuoni—ever happen to me?

"Farah."

Su Lin had just opened his mouth when a figure suddenly appeared before him, blocking the way between the two.

Higanhara Kaguya covered her mouth with her sleeve, her eyes curved like crescent moons as she slowly turned her head to glance at Su Lin.

"." Su Lin's smile gradually vanished.

"May I die in his place?" Higanhara Kaguya looked at Fala and said seriously: "For them, I am willing to die."

Fala blinked and asked: "What is your relationship with him?"

Shut up, you old hag!!!

In the instant the Eternal Furnace Core activated, within the highest-tier time permission, Fala tore a book to shreds.

In an instant, all supernatural phenomena were erased completely, even Meng Qi and others fell from the sky.

"We slept together." Kaguya said shyly: "The three of us."

All true.

Before Fala could speak to Su Lin, Xing stepped forward, dismissed her knight form, and stood before Su Lin.

"Since he's already your ex-husband, stop harassing Qiong."

Xing raised her bat and said: "Though we never slept together, if you try to take Qiong's life, I won't let you go."

Fala smiled faintly: "What is your relationship?"

Xing turned to look at Su Lin, gave a thumbs-up, and revealed her bright white teeth: "Xing and Qiong—we are one."

The atmosphere suddenly froze, growing increasingly eerie.

Su Lin stared at Fala, who was clearly stunned by the vast discrepancy between her mental image of "Su Lin" and the current "Su Lin."

There's nothing more to say.

Over there, she's clearly building up rage.

Whether it's pursuit or any other situation, I'll leave this world first—then she'll follow and find Su Tuoni.

Tap… tap-tap-dong!

With several stumbling motions, Huai Shi was shoved forward, sliding helplessly on the smooth ground until he crashed into Su Lin and stopped.

He grabbed Su Lin's sleeve, pulled himself up, his unnaturally soft face twisted with pain into something heartbreakingly delicate.

"Ow, what was that for?" Huai Shi turned to look at the crow that had slapped him—but it was already gone.

And at this moment—

A chain of causal law, a secret principle, bound Lu Mingfei and, through the flow of the Cause of All Results, instantly appeared at Su Lin's right side.

"."

Lu Mingfei snapped back to awareness, staring in disbelief at Meng Qi in the sky.

After a two-second pause, he gritted his teeth and forced out a grotesque, awkward smile:

"To hurt him, you'll have to step over my corpse!"

Fala seemed utterly frozen. She stared at Su Lin without a word, her gaze locked on him until—

Homura Akemi walked over under Kaguya's private message and said: "Big sister, Brother Su Lin—"

At the same moment, across every region detectable by instruments, a multiverse suddenly appeared, then—

Boom—

Exploded completely.

The next second, the universe reappeared.

Exploded.

Reappeared.

Exploded.

Repeating endlessly.

Infinite detonation!
