Chapter 250: Pursuing the Lawgiver, Mistakenly Entering a Dead Case

The black mass of energy churned violently, twisting.

The Observer's will, for the first time, broke free from pure logical calculation, ignited completely by an emotion called "Rage".

"Traitor!"

"Ant!"

"You, the garbage polluted by 'Variable'!"

It let out a silent roar, shaking the grand hall at the top of the Mage Tower into a lament.

The betrayal of tens of thousands of worlds!

It was like a thunderous slap, striking hard on its face made of "Order"!

This is no longer within its scope to handle.

"Hum—"

The black mass of energy suddenly contracted, coalescing in the air into an intricately complex dark‑gold rune.

"My Master!"

A cold thought crossed the endless Star Sea, sending a request toward a supreme source.

"Order is dusted!"

"Request the Lawgiver to descend!"

"Purge the filth!"

The words fell.

The entire Star Sea fell silent.

The boiling rebellion, the soaring battle will, the countless Living Beings' cries, all seemed instantly frozen by an invisible great force.

A fissure was silently torn open in the center of the Star Sea.

No light, no darkness.

Beyond the fissure lay pure, absolute "law".

Immediately after.

A slender humanoid formed of countless dark‑gold law runes slowly emerged from it.

It had no facial features, only a smooth, mirror‑like face.

In its hand it held a spear of judgment, condensed from the Concept of Heavenly Punishment.

Its appearance caused the runaway Observer to fall quiet, hovering respectfully beside it.

"Lawgiver."

It had no name, only a designation.

It is the direct executor of the Primordial Chaos Order in this Star Sea, a walking law, a moving heavenly decree.

The Lawgiver's smooth face turned toward the star region still ablaze with rebellious flames.

Its will swept over.

Cold, precise, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"Detected 1,372 'Variable' sources."

Its voice resonated directly in the minds of all Living Beings.

"Initiate 'Reset' program."

Having spoken.

It merely raised its hand.

It gave a gentle grasp toward the Arcane Universe, led by August, where the rebellion was fiercest.

"No—!"

August let out a desperate roar, shaping all magic into a sky‑piercing shield.

However.

Useless.

Under that gentle grasp.

The entire Arcane Universe, all magical radiance, all rebellious will, all Living Beings' soul fire…

Instantly extinguished.

The world still exists.

But the world is already dead.

All Living Beings turned into gray statues frozen in a rebellious pose, stripped of any life breath.

One grasp, erasing a Universe's "life"!

"Next."

The Lawgiver's voice showed no inflection.

It took a step, and its form appeared before another world burning with beast‑folk war souls.

Another grasp.

Another world fell to Deathly Silence.

Yao felt her whole body turn icy, a helplessness rising from deep within her Línghún.

This is not a battle at all.

This is cleansing.

Like a person crushing an ant, simple, casual, even with a hint of inevitability.

"Hahaha!"

The Overseer's maniacal laughter rang out again, filled with the thrill of revenge.

"Did you see that, monkey!"

"This is the fate of those who defy order!"

"This is the ultimate destination for you 'Variables'!"

"Soon, it will be your turn!"

After erasing a dozen worlds, the Law Enforcer finally turned its smooth face toward Sun Wukong.

"Retrieved highest‑privilege 'Variable'."

"Classification: Chaos Realm‑level virus."

"Remediation plan: complete eradication."

Its voice sounded like the final verdict delivered to Sun Wukong.

The Heaven‑Punishment Spear in its hand locked onto Sun Wukong's Primordial Source from afar.

Sun Wukong remained motionless.

He simply watched in silence.

Watching Aogusite's world fall into Deathly Silence.

Watching those Living Beings who had just mustered the courage to resist be easily "reset".

The calm on his face had vanished.

In its place was a ferocity that made Yao's heart race.

"Virus?"

Sun Wukong squeezed those two words out between his teeth.

He slowly raised the Golden Cudgel in his hand.

Those Fiery Golden Eyes were no longer golden; they now burned a blood‑red that could incinerate the Chaos Realm.

"Old Sun, today I'll show you."

His voice was like a cold wind blowing from Nine Nether Hell.

"What the hell is a virus invasion!"

"Boom!"

Before the words finished!

He moved!

No superfluous motion, no earth‑shaking aura.

Just that simple single strike, aimed straight at the swaggering Law Enforcer, smashed down on its head!

The Law Enforcer raised the Heaven‑Punishment Spear to block.

"Under the Law, all is illusion."

"Bang—!"

A deafening blast!

But that was not the clang of gold and iron!

It was the clash of two diametrically opposite Great Paths, the most barbaric, the most direct collision!

It was not a collision of force!

It was a duel between 'Rules' and 'Unyielding Rules'!

The Heaven‑Punishment Spear, a Concept weapon forged from 'Order' and 'Judgment'.

The moment it touched the Golden Cudgel.

It shattered inch by inch!

Countless dark‑gold Law runes, like frightened fireflies, wailed as they scattered and fluttered!

"Wh…"

The Law Enforcer's will trembled violently for the first time.

Its logic could not comprehend!

Why would a weapon embodying the supreme Law be shattered by a seemingly ordinary Tiěbàng in a single strike!

Sun Wukong's swing showed no pause.

It hammered down hard on the Law Enforcer's chest!

"Crack!"

The body made of Law runes was instantly riddled with spider‑web cracks!

But that was not the most terrifying!

The true horror was the Equal Heaven Great Path will on the Golden Cudgel, defying Heaven, defying Earth, defying any Rule!

While striking the Law Enforcer, it also smashed hard into this stable spacetime built by 'Order'!

"Screech—!"

A piercing sound to the extreme, like the tearing of an entire canvas, rang out!

Behind the Law Enforcer.

That stable starry sky was brutally split by Sun Wukong's strike, creating a massive, pitch‑black rift filled with the unknown and chaos!

Beyond that fissure was neither void nor Chaos Realm.

But a… absolute 'Nothing'.

A Blank where even the Law does not exist, a heart‑pounding Blank!

The Law Enforcer, an entity composed purely of Law.

When feeling that breath of 'nothingness'.

Its computational core, its existential logic, were instantly overwhelmed by a virus named 'Fear Heart Demon'!

"Logic……collapsing……"

"Error! Fatal error detected!"

For order, chaos is Heaven's enemy!

And the 'nothingness' behind that rift is ten thousand times more terrifying than chaos!

It didn't even think!

Turning around, it instantly turned into a stream of light, headlong rushing into that dark rift split open by Sun Wukong!

It would rather enter that unknown 'nothingness' than face Sun Wukong's principle-defying staff!

"Want to run?"

In Sun Wukong's blood-red eyes, killing intent boiled.

"Come back!"

He grabbed his staff, without a thought, likewise turning into a golden light, closely following, he plunged straight in!

"Wukong! Be careful!"

Yao's anxious shout came from behind.

"Something's not right in there!"

But it was already too late.

Sun Wukong's figure was instantly swallowed by that profound darkness.

The next second.

When Sun Wukong steadied himself again, the sight before him made his furious heart sink sharply.

No stars.

No light or darkness.

No energy.

Even the concept of time and space became blurred.

Here, it is an endless expanse of gray.

Like a ruined drawing, crumpled into a ball and then thrown away.

Everywhere are broken law lines, and some meaningless, long-dead world prototypes.

The Regulator who had fled in here has vanished without a trace.

"What……what kind of damned place is this?"

Sun Wukong's brows were tightly knotted.

He sent out his divine sense, but it was like throwing it into a slab of hardened cement, unable to spread far.

Everything here reeks of a strong 'failed product' and 'abandoned' vibe.

It seems like some being, while creating the world, casually discarded this failed draft.

Sun Wukong gripped his Golden Cudgel tightly, warily surveying the surroundings.

An unprecedented eerie feeling shrouded his heart.

Just then.

In the deepest part of this deathly silent dark star field, forgotten for countless ages.

A pair of eyes, equally astonished, huge beyond description.

Slowly……opened.
