Chapter 154

Everyone turned to look, only to see a mysterious person wearing a black robe and a hood appear behind them at some point.

"Who are you?!" Seeing Yanqing asked vigilantly.

"Who I am is not important," the mysterious person slowly raised his head, revealing a pale and handsome face, "What's important is that I know the secrets of the Disaster Empire and also know how to completely eliminate them."

"Why are you telling us this?" Welt Yang asked.

"Because I am also a victim of the Disaster Empire," a light of hatred flashed in the mysterious person's eyes, "I want revenge, I want those demons who destroyed my hometown to pay a bloody price!"

"Are you willing to step on this path of revenge with me?"

The mysterious person extended his right hand, palm upward, and a black crystal ball slowly floated in his palm.

That crystal ball seemed to be the embodiment of the night, emanating a strange and mysterious aura, making people want to explore it.

"This crystal ball can guide us to find the Disaster Empire's lair." The mysterious person said, "Are you willing to believe me?"

Jing Yuan looked at the black crystal ball and then at the mysterious person, falling into deep thought...

The black crystal ball emanated a dim light, reflecting the mysterious person's pale face, adding a few points of eeriness. Seeing Yanqing and the others looked at each other, their hearts filled with vigilance and doubt.

"Who exactly are you? What is your purpose?" Seeing Yanqing stepped forward, blocking before Jing Yuan, his twin swords unsheathed, cold light flashing.

The mysterious person chuckled, his voice low and hoarse, as if from the nine-nether abyss, "My name is Kafka, from a world already destroyed by the Disaster Empire."

He paused, a hint of pain and hatred flashing in his eyes, "My family, my friends, my compatriots, all died in the hands of those demons. I have survived until now just for revenge!"

Kafka's words were filled with grief and despair, making Seeing Yanqing and the others feel a hint of sympathy. But sympathy was sympathy; facing a mysterious person of unknown origin, they still didn't dare to be careless.

"You say you know the secrets of the Disaster Empire and the method to eliminate them, but do you have any proof?" Welt Yang asked, his tone carrying a hint of caution.

Kafka didn't answer directly, but threw the black crystal ball in his hand to Jing Yuan, "This 'Star Rail Luo Pan' is the key to unlocking the secrets of the Disaster Empire. It can guide us to find the 'Star Gate' leading to the Disaster Empire's lair; that is the starting point of revenge."

Jing Yuan reached out to catch the "Star Rail Luo Pan"; it felt ice-cold, and a strange energy surged into his body along his palm, making him feel a sense of heart-palpitation. He observed the crystal ball in his hand carefully; inside, it seemed to contain a vast starry sky, countless stars flickering, vaguely forming a complex and mysterious star map.

"This thing... is very evil," Stelle couldn't help but mutter, "General, you must be careful, don't get tricked by this thing."

Jing Yuan nodded; he also felt unease in his heart. The aura emanating from this "Star Rail Luo Pan" reminded him of those Disaster monsters he had encountered before, filled with aggression and the desire for destruction.

"You want to use us to help you get revenge?" Jing Yuan looked directly into Kafka's eyes and said word by word.

Kafka didn't deny it, but admitted it frankly, "That's right, I need your power. With my strength alone, I cannot contend with the Disaster Empire at all. And you, Jing Yuan, you are an Aeon, the embodiment of the universe's will; only you can lead us to victory!"

Kafka's words were filled with bewitchment, as if enticing Jing Yuan to walk on a path filled with thorns and danger.

"General, don't listen to his ghost talk!" March 7th said urgently, "This guy doesn't look like a good person at all; who knows what his intentions are?"

"March 7th is right," Seeing Yanqing also advised, "The Disaster Empire is full of tricks; we cannot easily trust anyone, let alone this kind of guy of unknown origin!"

Jing Yuan was silent; he was also weighing the pros and cons in his heart. He knew that Kafka was right; with their current strength, wanting to fight against the Disaster Empire was no different from throwing an egg against a rock.

But if he just believed Kafka and followed him to an unknown place, it would be too risky.

"Kafka," Jing Yuan finally spoke, his tone calm but carrying an unquestionable momentum, "I can help you get revenge, but you must first prove that everything you said is true, and that the 'Star Rail Luo Pan' in your hand can indeed guide us to find the Disaster Empire's lair."

....... 0

"How do you want me to prove it?" Kafka asked.

"Very simple," Jing Yuan pointed to the broken starry sky above the Time Theater, "Open the 'Star Gate' and let us see the true face of the Disaster Empire!"

Kafka heard this, was silent for a moment, and then nodded, "Okay, as you wish."

He raised his hands, chanting something in his mouth, and black mist surged from his body, like poisonous snakes, surging toward that broken starry sky.

"Star Rail reversal, space-time distortion, open, the gate leading to hell!"

Following Kafka's voice, that broken starry sky began to fluctuate violently; those originally chaotic cracks actually began to rotate slowly, as if a huge vortex, wanting to swallow everything.

A terrifying aura emanated from the vortex, making everyone present feel a sense of heart-palpitation.

"What is that?!" March 7th exclaimed, feeling as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

"It's the aura of disaster..." Welt Yang's face was pale, his tone filled with fear.

Seeing Yanqing also gripped his twin swords, fully prepared, ready to fight at any time.

Only Jing Yuan stood calmly in place, the golden long spear pointing at the sky.

He knew that the real battle had just begun...

The huge vortex rotated slowly, faster and faster, eventually forming a black "Star Gate" hundreds of meters in diameter.

On the other side of the "Star Gate" was a blood-red sky; countless huge black warships, like dark clouds covering the sky, slowly sailed out from the "Star Gate," pressing toward this world...

The pitch-black "Star Gate" was like the blood-stained mouth of a giant beast, swallowing all light and hope. The blood-red sky was so oppressive that it made people unable to breathe, as if indicating that a world-destroying catastrophe was about to descend.

Those black warships slowly sailing out from the "Star Gate" were each huge, like floating steel fortresses, covered with hideous cannon ports and sharp thorns, emanating a cold and cruel aura force.

151. 【Star Fall!】

"Is... is this the fleet of the Disaster Empire?" March 7th's voice was a bit trembling; even as a veteran of many battles, facing such a terrifying scene, she couldn't hide the fear in her heart.

Seeing Yanqing didn't speak, but his hand gripping the twin swords exposed his inner unrest at this moment. Welt Yang's face was iron-blue, his brows locked, seemingly thinking about something.

Only Jing Yuan remained calm; he looked up at the warships pouring out from the "Star Gate," no fear in his golden pupils, only fighting spirit burning fiercely.

"Is this the result you wanted? Kafka!" Jing Yuan's voice was like cold ice, carrying bone-chilling coldness.

Kafka stood behind Jing Yuan, but there was no hint of guilt on his face, instead revealing a crazy smile, "That's right, this is the result I wanted! I want the whole world to be buried with my hometown!"

"You are crazy!" Seeing Yanqing roared, "By doing this, you will only cause more innocent people to lose their lives!"

"Innocent?" Kafka seemed to have heard some funny joke, laughing loudly, "In this universe, there are no innocent people at all! Everyone will pay the price for their own stupidity!"

"Shut up!" Jing Yuan roared, the golden long spear in his hand pointing at Kafka, "340" "I had originally promised you to help you get revenge, but now it seems you don't deserve it at all!"

"You... what do you want to do?" The smile on Kafka's face froze instantly, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

"I want to stop you, stop this catastrophe!" Jing Yuan said, and was about to act.

"Hahaha, stop me? Just by relying on you?!" Kafka suddenly laughed wildly, as if hearing some heaven-defying joke, "Who do you think you are? You think you are an Aeon and can contend with the entire Disaster Empire? You are too naive!"

"Naive or stupid, I will stop you!" "You... you dare!"

Kafka's face changed drastically; he never expected that Jing Yuan would suddenly attack him. In his haste, he only had time to condense a black energy shield to block before him.

However, this strike of Jing Yuan contained all his anger and determination; how could it be so easily blocked?

"Ah!"

Kafka let out a scream, his body flying backward like a cannonball, smashing heavily onto a rock, shattering the rock into pieces.

"Kafka!"

Seeing Yanqing and the others saw this, feeling shocked in their hearts, and hurriedly rushed over.

Only to see Kafka lying in the pile of broken stones, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his breath weak, clearly having suffered heavy injuries.

"You... you actually..." Kafka raised his head with difficulty, looking at Jing Yuan, his eyes filled with venom and unwillingness, "You... you will regret it... you will regret it..."

"The thing I regret most is believing in you!" Jing Yuan said coldly, no pity in his eyes.

Kafka still wanted to say something, but eventually couldn't speak, his head tilted, completely losing his life.

"Kafka is dead..." March 7th looked at Kafka's corpse, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
