Chapter 3898: Coincidence and Plan

A psychedelic pale blue shimmer shone down from above. The Goddess of Fate opened her eyes, a brief moment of confusion in her golden-red pupils before they constricted. Recalling the scene before she lost consciousness, she immediately looked down at herself. Only after confirming that her arms and legs were all there did she let out a long sigh of relief.

Only then did the Goddess of Fate have the mood to survey her surroundings. The scene before her was dim, the rock walls blackened, thick, cold, and hard. The style of the environment had a cold, dark, epic feel.

The Goddess of Fate stood up. The next second, pale blue text prompts appeared before her eyes, reading:

【To leave the Nightmare Domain, you must head forward until you push open the nightmare door at the deepest point...】

That wasn't all. The Goddess of Fate discovered that her current body within this nightmare world had actually been notarized with detailed data.

"Goddess of Fate"

Level: 1.

Strength: 0.45 (corresponds to strength weapons, melee attack power, etc.).

Agility: 0.52 (corresponds to speed, evasion sharpness, skill weapon attack power, vital point attack power, etc.).

Stamina: 0.34 (corresponds to HP, stamina value, equipment weight capacity, etc.).

Intelligence: 0.67 (corresponds to spells, nightmare miracles, body energy pool length and recovery speed, etc.).

Basic Ability · Weapon Usage (Passive): Can use all weapons you pick up, but proficiency is relatively average, only allowing you to master the preliminary usage methods of the weapon (e. g., hacking, shooting, etc.). Furthermore, this ability does not allow you to use equipment with "Equipment Requirements" higher than your body attributes.

Basic Ability · Spell/Nightmare Miracle Talent (Passive): You possess three skill slots, which can be used to record spells or nightmare miracles. When you defeat an elite-level or higher formidable enemy, there is a probability of obtaining the opponent's "Cruel Soul." Submitting this "Cruel Soul" to the Old Bishop at the Cathedral allows you to learn the spells and nightmare miracles corresponding to that "Cruel Soul."

Basic Ability · Armor Wearing (Passive): You can wear various types of armor and are defaulted to have mastered the corresponding armor proficiency.

Basic Ability · Nightmare Essence Absorption (Passive): After defeating enemies, you will obtain varying amounts of Nightmare Essence (determined by the enemy's situation). When you have accumulated a certain amount of Nightmare Essence, you can go to the Cathedral to find the Whisperer and use your existing Nightmare Essence to improve your body attributes.

Personal Exclusive Ability · Ultimate Fortune (Passive):???.

Starting Equipment: Nightmare Pointer.

Seeing these prompts and data, the Goddess of Fate was stunned. However, upon scrolling to the end, she was attracted by a brand—it was unmistakably the brand of the Tree of the Void. Moreover, the reason she was dragged into the nightmare world this time was because she had encountered the treatment of a certain Blade Master in the real world; she had nearly died, and between life and death, she triggered this kind of miraculous event.

Or rather, this was actually a trial, just one with a relatively long process. Even if the Goddess of Fate went smoothly, she would still have to fight for nearly 10 days within this Nightmare City, from the entrance all the way to the deepest part of the Nightmare City, and after defeating the final big boss, she would be able to push open the nightmare door and leave this Nightmare Realm.

As a trial, there were naturally rewards. If the Goddess of Fate completed this trial, her soul injury would be completely healed.

Seeing this trial reward, the brand of the Tree of the Void, and the surrounding environment which was completely real and lacked even a hint of dreamlike illusion, the Goddess of Fate was tempted. She longed too much for the soul injury that had tormented her for years to be healed.

The Goddess of Fate had played all kinds of games, and she felt that the current situation was just like playing a game, only it was a 100% real experience. She had already tried hitting the pitch-black city wall stones with her fist; it really hurt. The damp, cold sensation of the wall stones reminded her every moment that a nightmare had nothing to do with a dream; a nightmare was a special material world of another mode of existence.

The city gate tunnel was somewhat dim. Behind her was a city gate with a thick metallic texture, firmly closed and even cast shut, as if there were some terrifying existence outside the city. Inside the gate, the Goddess of Fate looked at the burning campfire. She discovered that as long as she was by this campfire, she felt a sense of warmth and comfort, and her HP and body energy—that is, mana—were both slowly recovering. She immediately understood: it was a rest point and a resurrection point.

Seeing a resurrection point, the Goddess of Fate felt steady in her heart. Dressed in civilian gray cloth clothes, she walked toward the outside of the city gate tunnel. Just as she reached the end of the tunnel, she saw an arm-length short sword and a set of leather armor.

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on the Goddess of Fate's face. Sending equipment and armor right at the start—this was definitely the treatment only found in mowing-down games. After equipping the weapon and putting on the leather armor, she came to the end of the tunnel and peered outside, looking for the small monsters to use for leveling up next.

Outside the city gate tunnel was a main street over a dozen meters wide. The stone slabs on the street were weathered and pale. There were dense building complexes on both sides of the main street. Because the houses had collapsed severely, the sides of the street were like messy barricades, forcing people to move along the main street.

The Goddess of Fate didn't act rashly. In the center of the main street, a few dozen meters ahead, a carriage was overturned, with large patches of dried bloodstains on the metal carriage body.

A man with a head of messy gray-white hair, wearing a tattered cloak and wrapped in black cloth strips all over his body, sat on the overturned carriage, head drooping, right arm hanging naturally. Black liquid dripped from his fingertips, landing in a black puddle below.

The black puddle was not large, only about one square meter in area, but the black liquid it contained seemed endless.

Looking around, one could see quite a bit of dried bone debris on the street surface. It seemed that other nightmare existences had accidentally entered this place, and their fate could be imagined.

Crack, crack~

Joints creaked, as if gears that hadn't moved for a long time were grinding together again. This former Captain of the Imperial Guard, who had once resisted five extreme dark beast tides, was now reawakening. Although his flame of life had long since extinguished, the power of darkness caused his soul to twist and breed.

Clang~!

A greatsword flew out from the black puddle. This greatsword was about 1.5 meters long, the blade body square, as if forged from black rock iron. One side was the blade, the other a hammer. The 1.5-meter length of the sword meant the guard was over 40 centimeters long.

"Roar!!"

The Captain of the Imperial Guard roared, his messy, dry, gray-white hair flying. From his aura, image, and weapon, everything indicated that this was a boss-level existence.

A dozen meters away, the Goddess of Fate, who was confronting the Captain of the Imperial Guard, gulped. She looked at the short sword in her hand and the leather armor on her body, suddenly realizing that this didn't seem like a mowing-down game.

The Goddess of Fate's current situation was: 'Dear explorer, this is your weapon and armor. Very good, you have fully familiarized yourself with the Nightmare City, you are a mature explorer. See that Captain of the Imperial Guard over there? Go defeat him, you can do it.'

The Goddess of Fate took a deep breath. Before becoming a deity of the fate system, she had been very brave. Taking another deep breath, the Goddess of Fate, gripping the short sword tightly, stepped toward the Captain of the Imperial Guard.

A few seconds later, in front of the campfire in the city gate tunnel.

The newly resurrected Goddess of Fate sat there, the highlights in her eyes completely gone. A moment later, she hugged her knees, looking at the campfire in front of her with a dazed gaze.

"Kukulin Bai Ye, this lady is not finished with you!"

The shout spread. On the city wall directly above, the irritable little sprite Diagu yawned, took out a wine flask, and gulped down a few mouthfuls. Doing things for Su Xiao, how could there be a lack of wine?

The Goddess of Fate falling into her current predicament—Su Xiao was the undisputed mastermind. He could be certain that he wouldn't get paid for treating the Goddess of Fate, which conflicted with his subsequent plans.

He intended to fleece "Xiguang City" next. Under such circumstances, it was safest for the Goddess of Fate to remain asleep until Su Xiao's current world progress ended. After waking up, the first thing the Goddess of Fate would definitely not do was go find Su Xiao to repay the kindness of healing her soul injury.

It really wasn't that the Goddess of Fate was ungrateful. After completing the soul anesthesia, Su Xiao used the excuse of starting treatment to make City Lord Xia Er-yin leave the secret room. During the subsequent treatment, because of the characteristics of the "Sun Treatment Secret Method," the Goddess of Fate woke up halfway through, and the result was self-evident.

Treating the Goddess of Fate couldn't be a loss-making business, so he sent the Goddess of Fate to the most pit-filled "Nightmare Dungeon: Golden King City" in history.

After entering this nightmare dungeon, everyone's starting point was the same. Did they think this nightmare dungeon was just that? Not at all. There were quite a few nightmare dungeons with such characteristics. The most pit-filled point of "Nightmare Dungeon: Golden King City" was that when defeating the final boss, the Golden God, there was a small probability of obtaining the "Golden Crown."

The "Golden Crown" was the core of this nightmare dungeon. As long as someone obtained this treasure, the nightmare dungeon would immediately dissolve. A more intuitive analogy was that a large mass of nightmare wrapped around this crown, forming the nightmare dungeon. As long as the "Golden Crown" still existed, even if this dungeon was cleared by contractors, it would subsequently be reset under the notarization of the Tree of the Void.

There were absolute powerhouses who specialized in farming nightmare dungeons, and their numbers were not small. If there were no means to increase the "all potential upper limit tier," the general limit for contractors was absolute-level body attributes of 450–480 points. Once stuck at this level, the cycle for such absolute-level contractors to enter mission worlds would become very long.

Among all channels to increase the "all potential upper limit tier," farming nightmare dungeons to accumulate soul coins and buy "Elemental Source Matter" was the one with the lowest threshold.

As for why it was farming nightmare dungeons instead of going to super-high-tier worlds like the Transcendence Realm or the Blazing Sun Star—it was too dangerous. Conversely, in nightmare dungeons, as long as one wasn't particularly unlucky to encounter nightmare existences with abyss characteristics or void alien existences.

Regarding "Nightmare Dungeon: Golden King City," the recognized conclusion was that the probability of clearing this nightmare dungeon and obtaining the "Golden Crown" was no more than 0.0001%, a one-in-a-million chance.

The current situation was different. Su Xiao had pitted the Goddess of Fate into "Nightmare Dungeon: Golden King City." A one-in-a-million drop rate? Stop joking. Even if it were one-in-ten-million, the Goddess of Fate was definitely that lucky person. The problem now wasn't whether the "Golden Crown" could be dropped, but whether the Goddess of Fate could clear the dungeon.

The "Golden Crown" was not equipment. Its only function was to be sold to the affiliated Paradise. If sold to Reincarnation Paradise, the price was 100 Golden Skill Points.

Treating the Goddess of Fate's soul injury wasn't simple; it took Su Xiao three full days. However, these three days were treatment in the morning and meditation in the afternoon, and his state had gradually adjusted to its peak.

At this moment, in the 5th District of Xiguang City, on the pedestrian street.

Su Xiao stopped in front of a small shop. It was a noodle shop. Although it was past noon, there were still quite a few diners here. What was even more wonderful was that more than half of the diners in the shop were dressed differently and were not residents of this world.

After sitting down, a woman brought over a few cups of water without asking what he wanted to eat. This small shop only made one kind of meat soup noodle. This shop had been specially noted by the Goddess of Luck; it was a small shop that had been open since the First Era. Initially in Blazing Sun City, it later moved to Xiguang City to avoid strife. The shopkeeper of this small shop was a long-lived species, and it was rare to see a long-lived species with such a peaceful temper.

Before long, a bowl of steaming meat soup noodles was placed on the table. The soup was bright and fresh, the aroma unique and comfortable. The side dishes were simple but thoughtful. Half a soft-boiled egg was very close to life. When he came back to his senses, he had already put down the empty noodle bowl.

Su Xiao had no interest in having any interaction with this long-lived species; he was just tasting the food. After paying the bill and leaving, just as he was about to walk out of the noodle shop, a young man brushed past him.

Su Xiao walked on the pedestrian street. Bahar, who had been on his shoulder, had disappeared. Looking at the time, it was time to return to Dusk City. This trip to "Xiguang City" had been unexpectedly lucky; not only did he receive over thirty side missions, but the appearance of that young man just now also allowed a commission mission to be completed.

【Commission Mission (One Ring Only).】

Difficulty Level: Lv. 5–Lv. 95.

Mission Introduction: Select a suitable soul secret technique successor for the Soul King. After finding a suitable candidate, you can go to the "Soul King Hall" via the Soul Greatsword. The Soul King's soul body will subsequently sleep and wait in the "Soul King Hall."

Mission Deadline: Must be before the Soul King's soul body completely dissipates.

Mission Reward:???

Mission Penalty: None.

Soul strength over 80 points—if this young man hadn't had some miraculous encounter, he was a soul-system genius. What was strange was that the young man didn't know what method he used to train, as his whole body was covered in mild to moderate injuries.

Nine o'clock that night, Fire Wine Town, over a hundred kilometers east of Xiguang City.

This place was located by the sea and was a smuggling transit point for Xiguang City, Dusk City, and Spirit Crown City. Dusk City and Spirit Crown City were evil-aligned forces, so Xiguang City naturally wouldn't trade with them—not out of pedantry, but because the risks outweighed the potential benefits.

Since benefits existed, related trade would definitely be derived. Fire Wine Town was such a smuggling gathering place. At this time, in a residential house in Fire Wine Town, the lights were dark, but the basement was brightly lit by high-power incandescent lamps.

In the empty basement of over a dozen square meters, the young man, Ailies, was only wearing sleeping pants, his eyes covered, his mouth gagged, and his hands tied behind his back to a wooden chair. From the dirt marks on his face, one could tell he had cried on the way.

Actually, this wasn't shameful. Putting oneself in his shoes, after Ailies trained for a day and crawled into bed exhausted at eight o'clock in the evening, although he felt that what his mentor taught didn't seem very suitable for him, this was an opportunity he had fought for after paying 300 Jiaosi every month.

At 8:30 PM, Ailies crawled into bed tired. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he felt a large hand grab his shoulder and push him. After opening his eyes, he saw a three-meter-tall minotaur, whose muscles weren't exaggerated but looked like they were cast from gold and iron, standing by the bed, staring at him with red light faintly showing in its pupils. At that second, what Ailies thought about was that he would have to wash the bedsheets tomorrow.

Being scared to pee by Amu wasn't shameful. Just as Ailies was about to shout for help, Amu slapped Ailies unconscious with a big mouth, shook open the sack Bahar had given it, stuffed Ailies inside, and carried him away.

Halfway there, Amu sensed that Ailies's aura was getting weaker and weaker. This simpleton also knew that the slap just now had been a bit too heavy, so it took out a recovery potion, took out a bottle of water, diluted it to less than one-tenth of a drop, and poured it into Ailies. The effect was outstanding; Ailies woke up a few seconds later. He wanted to shout, but got slapped by Amu again.

If one said Amu was smart, it had slapped the person half-dead twice; if one said it was stupid, it knew not to directly give Ailies the potion in the storage space, as the overly strong medicinal effect would cause Ailies to die suddenly.

When Su Xiao walked into the basement and saw Ailies on the wooden chair, he turned to look at Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang.

"Woo-ooh-woof~"

Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang's gaze dodged, meaning that after it finished dinner, it felt gastrointestinal discomfort, so it let Bahar go in its stead.

Su Xiao looked at Bahar. Bahar shrank its neck, gave a dry laugh, and said, "Isn't that right, my stomach was also uncomfortable, so I let Amu help."

Regarding this situation, Su Xiao wasn't surprised. It had always been like this in the exclusive room: he would order Bennie, Bennie would order Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang, Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang would order Bahar, and Bahar would order Amu. The honest cow Amu would resist with a "moo" every time, then obediently run the errand.

Su Xiao sat down and let Amu untie the ropes and blindfold of the young man opposite. Just regaining his freedom, Ailies said with a sobbing voice, "I... I don't have money, please let me go."

Ailies thought he had encountered a kidnapping. Seeing this, Bahar said, "Young man, don't be afraid. We aren't bad people. We brought you here this time to give you a great opportunity."

"?"

Ailies was dumbfounded.

"Young man, look at this Soul Sword. In a while, it will use this sword to pierce your torso and heart. Then you can go to the 'Soul King Hall' to see your mentor, the Soul King. As for that mentor you have now, he can't teach you anything; he's half a fraud."

After Bahar finished speaking, it let Amu pick up the 【Soul Sword】 on the side. Seeing this scene, Ailies's eyes were about to split. Just as he hadn't figured out whether to shout "wait" or "help."

Pfft~!

The sharp sword pierced into Ailies's chest. He disappeared the next second, going to the "Soul King Hall."

【You have completed the commission mission.】

【You have obtained the mission reward: Soul Demeanor (World-class equipment).】

【Soul Demeanor】

Origin: Soul Temple.

Quality: World-class.

Category: Ring.

Durability: 150/150 points.

Equipment Requirement: True Charm attribute 350 points, Soul Strength 200 points or more.

Equipment Effect: Perfect Soul (Core · Passive), after wearing this equipment, every point of the wearer's Soul Strength will increase 1 point of True Charm attribute.

Prompt: This equipment can increase a maximum of 300 points of True Charm attribute.

Introduction: A powerful soul is charm itself.

Rating: 6000 points (World-class equipment rating is 10–6000 points).

Seeing the attributes of this equipment, Su Xiao was silent for a moment. This was an extremely powerful piece of trash equipment. The powerful part was that if he wore it, he could increase his True Charm attribute by 300 points—a single piece of equipment having such an increase was already outrageous to the extreme.

As for saying this equipment was trash, with his -27 points of Charm attribute, it was no longer something that could be corrected by increasing the Charm attribute. The Charm attribute disguised by the "Silver Moon Blade" could not receive this increase; that was a disguise, not a genuine Charm attribute.

The good news was that it could be sold. If he encountered a Soul Summoner buyer, the other party would buy this thing even if they had to smash their pots and pans. This was an artifact for Soul Summoners.

The Law-Extinguishing Teleportation Array lit up under his feet. With a dull thud, Su Xiao, Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, and Bahar disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already in the temporary residence in Dusk City.

Pushing open the door to the secret room, the lights in the inner hall were on. Su Xiao sat down on the single sofa. Without even needing to sense, he could detect the attackers ambushing outside the mansion.

It was no wonder the old aristocrat Augustus, that old fox, had sent Luciva to Holy Heart City in advance. It seemed like he was letting Luciva deal with those lunatics of the God Sect, but in fact, it was the opposite: using those lunatics to drag Luciva down, because if Luciva were here, he wouldn't allow his hunting group to besiege Su Xiao.

After all, the hunting group was the power of the monarch faction. As Luciva's superior, the old aristocrat Augustus could naturally mobilize the hunting group. However, there was one point: this time, the core members of the hunting group hadn't come. These were Luciva's confidants. If nothing unexpected happened, those dozen or so big bosses were being detained at the Vanguard Fortress, so they wouldn't notify Luciva, who was far away in Holy Heart City.

Besides the hunting group, all the elites of the City Guard, all the elites of the Gendarmerie, all the elites of the security department, and the powerhouses of the old aristocracy had all been dispatched this time. This was almost 50% of Dusk City's power, mobilized to besiege and kill Su Xiao.

Facing such a camp, Su Xiao took out the communication device and dialed Augustus. A few seconds later, the communication connected, and both sides were silent.

"The siege lineup I prepared, Black Bertha is commanding on-site. She told me that using this lineup to deal with you is too exaggerated. I don't think so. Dealing with you, even if I dispatched more warriors, I would still feel a faint sense of unease in my heart."

"..."

"Having said that, the current situation is a result that both you and I could have foreseen. Farewell, Bai Ye."

"I found a greatsword in the Dark Moon Nightmare."

Hearing Su Xiao say this, even if the person on the other side was a deep-scheming old fox, he couldn't help but have his breath hitch.

"Oh? Let me hear the name of this greatsword?"

"The Sun King's Blazing Sun Greatsword."

After this sentence, the other side of the communicator was silent for a few more seconds before saying, "Bai Ye, I wish you a good dream tonight."

"Oh."

Su Xiao hung up the communication. In less than half a minute, those hunting group members, City Guard elites, Gendarmerie elites, and old aristocracy powerhouses who were just about to charge forward all stopped. Among the retreating crowd, the Finance Minister Black Bertha, shrouded in the night, didn't look very good.

In the inner hall, after Su Xiao meditated for an hour, he was interrupted by a knock on the door. A middle-aged man with crisscrossing scars on his face and dressed in black walked in. The other party didn't say a word, picked up the sword box, and left a "secret approval," which was the mission item for "Side Mission: Aristocratic Leader."

The middle-aged man in black turned and left. After this person left, Su Xiao picked up the communicator by his hand. This time, it only dialed for a moment. Although it didn't connect, he knew the other party would come soon.

Why did the old aristocrat Augustus value the 【Blazing Sun Greatsword】 so much? Was this old guy really loyal to the Blazing Sun Monarch? Actually, it wasn't so. To the outside world, Augustus was indeed loyal to the monarch faction, but in reality, what this old guy really cared about was the old aristocracy faction.

As long as the 【Blazing Sun Greatsword】 was presented to the Blazing Sun Monarch, the old aristocracy faction would subsequently firmly suppress the newly promoted power faction where Black Bertha was. No one knew better than Augustus that under the Old Guardians composed of Sun Warriors, all the legions in the inner and outer cities of Dusk City were vulnerable.

"This is the third promise."

Owl, dressed in gray-white feathered clothes, appeared. She had promised to do three things for Su Xiao. The first was to kill the Dark Bishop Bohewa, the second was to kill the high-level officials of the God Sect, and now, it was time for the third thing.

Owl had actually arrived here long ago. She hadn't yet obtained the secret medicine to treat the "Nikaie Spore Plant Gestational Hereditary Disease," which was the only way to save her daughter.

Witnessing the siege just now, Owl had already guessed who the third target was: Finance Minister Black Bertha. The two sides had reached the point of tearing off their masks, and this person had to be eliminated as soon as possible.

"Go help me slaughter Augustus. Don't do it tonight. Wait until he goes to the central city area to present the Blazing Sun Greatsword, and do it on the way back."

Hearing this, Owl looked suspicious, but she immediately thought that this move was too ruthless. After tonight, the high-level officials of Dusk City would all know that the Law-Extinguisher Kukulin Bai Ye had brought back the 【Blazing Sun Greatsword】 and, under unknown conditions, had handed the 【Blazing Sun Greatsword】 to the old aristocrat Augustus.

No matter how one looked at it, Su Xiao and Augustus were in a cooperative relationship. Coupled with the assassination that hadn't happened yet, which was spearheaded by Black Bertha, while Augustus had always been hiding in the dark, the current situation was definitely an alliance between Su Xiao and Augustus confronting Black Bertha.

If Augustus were assassinated and died, Black Bertha would be the biggest suspect. No, the word "suspect" could no longer be used. All the old aristocrats would be convinced that this matter must have been done by Black Bertha! And it could only have been done by Black Bertha. Even if the truth wasn't so, as long as the old aristocrats were smart enough, they would definitely bite onto this point and use every means to kill Black Bertha.

The reason was that the old aristocracy leader Augustus was dead. The old aristocrats wouldn't shed half a tear or feel sad for even half a second for this old guy's death, but the old aristocracy faction was led by Augustus, and the newly promoted power faction was led by Black Bertha. This relationship of mutual threat and balance between the two sides had been broken. The old aristocrats had to use every means to kill Black Bertha to let this broken balance be restored.

Otherwise, once Black Bertha regained her strength, she would definitely eradicate the old aristocracy faction. In this way, without the Blazing Sun Monarch coming forward, Black Bertha would be the controller of Dusk City.

Once Augustus was assassinated, Black Bertha would definitely be besieged by the old aristocrats. Coupled with the Great Library turning a blind eye and pretending nothing had happened, it would be much more convenient for Su Xiao to do whatever he wanted in Dusk City later, for example, settling the score with the nun.

Star Fall Continent, Beast Race Main City: Eternal Ring City.

Dark purple mist settled between the buildings. This once bustling big city was now silent, quiet enough to make one feel hair-raising.

Located in the central city area of Eternal Ring City, the World Tree standing here had broken, and the remaining tree stump, thousands of meters high, was burning with raging flames. Looking around, the entire central city area of Eternal Ring City was filled with the corpses of the Beast Race, and blood gushed out from the drainage holes of the inner city's high walls. This scene was like crushing the heart of Eternal Ring City—no, it was crushing the heart of the entire Beast Race.

The World Tree burned with a crackling sound. Located beneath these raging flames was a lady who looked like a human from the upper body, with a spider abdomen and armored feet from the lower body. Her nearly five-meter height didn't ruin her beautiful body proportions, but one must never be attracted by her temperament and magnificent appearance. It was she who slaughtered the Beast Race of the Star Fall Continent. Under the poisonous mist of the peak of the supreme, Eternal Ring City turned into a dead zone.

"You are the new king of the Beast Race? Too weak. I promised someone that if I really returned to Star Fall for revenge, I would spare your life. I just fulfilled that promise, but since you insist on seeking death, don't blame me, new king... of the Beast Race."

As the Spider Lady spoke, she was holding the throat of the new Beast King with one hand, letting him hang in mid-air, and squeezing the new Beast King's neck until it creaked. She seemed to be talking to herself, and also seemed to be confiding in the world consciousness of this world:

"I also once risked my life to protect the Star Fall Realm from being invaded by the abyss, and together with Waltz, solved the abyss giant vortex in the Crystal Forest. I almost died, sealed the abyss invasion together with the Wolf God, and also went deep into the Dark Domain with the Wanderer to close one abyss hole after another, almost dying on the way."

The Spider Lady recalled the scenes of the past, and a smile couldn't help but appear in her eyes. But the next second, her long hair flew, and her aura became increasingly cruel and violent.

"But! You... and the Sea Race, actually dared to betray me!! Letting me be in that damn! Library that should have been burned to ashes! Just like a spider trapped in a box, no one, no one could tame my will. Now, I have finally returned."

After saying this, dark purple outer armor climbed onto the Spider Lady's hand. With a "pop," she crushed the new Beast King's neck with one hand. Amidst the splashing blood, a beast-head ring was sucked into her palm.

The Spider Lady gradually clenched her right hand, squeezing the Beast King Ring in her hand until it creaked. Almost simultaneously, a huge pitch-black vortex appeared above.

Crack, crack!

The Beast King Ring creaked in the Spider Lady's hand. After reaching the critical point, it shattered with a "pop."

Boom!!

The black vortex in the sky shattered, and the entire earth where Eternal Ring City stood trembled. Wisps of darkness spread out, and after a brief silence, black tentacles burst through the ground. Each of these tentacles stretched to the horizon. The strongest beast in the history of the Wind Sea Continent, with a size of one million meters, had broken its seal.
