Chapter 4174: Reappearance

Clang!

The long blade slashed cleanly through, black liquid splattered everywhere, and a figure wrapped within it stumbled forward a few steps before collapsing with a thud.

This figure was slightly chubby, wore a pineapple-style haircut, was dressed in biker gear, had spiked boots on his feet, and a small metal pair of scissors hanging from his right ear—he looked exactly as he had when they first met.

The little fatty made a move to stand up, but a large mouthful of black blood hit the ground; having only just managed to rise, he slumped back down, his gaze turning toward the only figure present.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The little fatty covered his mouth with one hand, coughing violently as fresh blood sprayed from between his fingers. He gasped for air, his gaze fixed on Su Xiao, and said:

"I had a very, very long dream. In that dream, my only friend was very much like you."

At this, the Black Demon little fatty smiled, his teeth stained black by the dark blood. He continued: "My only friend was named Bai Ye. I wonder what you are called."

"..."

Su Xiao did not speak. Holding his sharp blade, he stepped toward the Black Demon little fatty.

"Mm, you really are exactly like my friend from the dream. Even if you have something to say, you'd only say it to an enemy's corpse. Truly, a very, very long dream."

Sitting on the ground, the Black Demon little fatty looked up at the sky. On his body, large amounts of black, bubble-like substances were protruding, signifying his mutation into a frenzied abyss-dweller. A long time ago, the Black Demon had actually been in a state of certain death; it had never been able to completely annihilate the little fatty. The Black Demon had never imagined that, being from the abyss itself, it would take so long and still fail to devour this guy.

"My only friend from my long dream, help me out. At least don't let me... become a mindless beast again."

Having said this, the Black Demon sitting on the ground lowered his head and closed his eyes, which were about to turn completely pitch-black. Su Xiao, holding his sharp blade, had already stopped behind him.

"Farewell, my friend, and... accept my gift and curse."

After the Black Demon finished speaking, the blade descended. As blood scattered, a 'whoosh' sound erupted as black flames ignited. The little fatty's remains burned away rapidly, leaving behind only a fist-sized mass of semi-fluid suspended in mid-air.

【Notification: The strongest Overlord equipment has been reawakened. The current strongest Overlord equipment has been demoted to second place.】

【You have obtained the strongest Overlord equipment: Dark Source Blood (Overlord Equipment, First Rank).】

Seeing this notification, Su Xiao understood the little fatty's story. It was a tragedy caused by extreme luck. When the little fatty was at a low tier, he had somehow obtained the then-strongest Overlord equipment, "Dark Source Blood." Perhaps his innate talent had caused this, or perhaps it was a one-in-a-billion probability that he had stumbled upon, or perhaps the second hand of fate had only begun to tick at that very moment.

Normally, the little fatty should have progressed rapidly afterward. The strongest Overlord equipment, "Dark Source Blood," did indeed have a huge price, but it was in a multi-sealed state—a seal notarized by the Void Tree. Ultimately, it was just a piece of equipment; its purpose was not to kill its holder.

The problem was that not long after the little fatty obtained the "Dark Source Blood," he encountered the Black Demon in a certain world—or rather, the little fatty holding the "Dark Source Blood" was targeted by the Black Demon. A destiny of mutual destruction began. Come to think of it, whether it was the Black Demon or the little fatty, as long as they hadn't met each other, both would have achieved great things.

Currently, the seals on the "Dark Source Blood" had been completely broken. However, the Black Demon had ultimately failed to reach its peak form, the "Dark Abyss Devourer." In fact, things having developed to this point, even the often-frenzied Black Demon felt some regret when it was lucid. It really hadn't expected this unremarkable human to be so difficult to deal with. There were countless times it thought it had completely devoured the other party, yet the other party's spiritual fire would always reignite within its soul.

Su Xiao held the 【Dark Source Blood】 in one hand, and a notification appeared.

【Notification: Your Charisma and Luck attributes are both below 1 point; you cannot equip this Overlord equipment.】

Seeing this notification, Su Xiao frowned slightly. No matter how one looked at it, this equipment had dark characteristics; that it would actually require Charisma and Luck attributes was truly...

No, judging from the situation between the Black Demon and the little fatty, although this thing had dark characteristics, it was also a type of dark destiny, and it did indeed have some connection to Charisma and Luck attributes.

Su Xiao needed to dispose of this strongest Overlord equipment as soon as possible. The reason was that all Overlord equipment that could be ranked had the following characteristic:

"Overlord Equipment Basic Characteristic: Overlord's Pride (Absolute Passive). If you hold Overlord equipment you cannot use for a long time, this Overlord equipment will 'break free' from your possession. This action has been notarized by the Void Tree."

Su Xiao already had plans for this Overlord equipment. For now, he still needed to resolve the "Three Great Nodes." He was determined to destroy these nodes this time; it involved 9 million ounces of Space-Time Power. As for the plan to completely destroy the Abyss Faction and prevent the opening of the subsequent two "Abyss Gates," he estimated there was a 90% probability that it couldn't be stopped. The Abyss Faction had certainly invested massive preparations in this regard, but he couldn't just leave it alone.

He took out the "communicator" distributed by the Logistics Chief, Tailier, at the end of the council meeting. This thing was very powerful; even in the Abyss spread zone, it had a signal, as long as one didn't enter the Abyss itself, it was fine.

He opened the communicator, and a roaring sound came from within. Su Xiao said: "Abyss Dragon Bottom, ready."

Hearing this, both the Sun Team and the Eternal Team fell silent. Of the three "Gate Nodes," Abyss Dragon Bottom was the most troublesome. Not only was Frenzied Scale Kuenha there, but this location was closest to the Abyss Gate, which would lead to a large number of Abyss powerhouses attacking, with reinforcements arriving in increasing numbers.

Yet the current situation was that Su Xiao was sitting under the "Gate Node," holding a bottle of elemental brew, occasionally tilting his head to take a sip. No Abyss Faction powerhouses were attacking. The reason was that the Abyss Faction had two Supreme-tier beings, so they knew how powerless one was when a peak-tier powerhouse faced a Supreme-tier one.

The fact that Frenzied Scale Kuenha had fled immediately wasn't because he was a coward; it was valuable experience gained from having clashed with a Supreme-tier being in the past and not dying. That experience was: peak-tier powerhouses shouldn't think about fighting Supreme-tier beings. If not for the existence of the Supreme Being, Supreme-tier beings would truly be the ceiling of the Abyss/Elements/Astral Realm.

After Su Xiao sat in front of the "Gate Node" and waited for three minutes, the voice of Sun Seth came through the communicator:

"Land of Oblivion, ready."

From Sun Seth's suppressed breathing, it was clear that this fast and intense melee was not easy.

"Black Abyss side is done. Tsk~, why didn't I see that Black Maple Tree in the Black Abyss? I heard there's a Black Maple Tree in the Black Abyss."

The voice of the Immortal Archis came from the communicator, followed by the voice of Logistics Chief Tailier: "Stop talking nonsense, use the interference device immediately, and then, three, two, one, do it!"

Boom!

Su Xiao threw a side-hook punch, shattering the "Gate Node" beside him. With a muffled thud, the ten-meter-high "Gate Node," which looked like a crystalline monument, shattered. But after the fragments flew out a bit, they all froze.

"Everyone, there's a big problem. The 'Gate Node' on my side... can't be shattered..."

Sun Seth's voice had just reached this point when a loud bang came from their side.

A figure over three and a half meters tall, wearing gold-red battle armor with dark rings between the armor plates on the chest and abdomen, appeared. Despite such height, the overall body proportions did not appear thin or awkward; instead, there was a sense of heroic beauty. A large red cape fluttered slightly as she landed. Her left hand rested on Sun Seth's shoulder, and her right hand, wearing blood-red metal gauntlets, gripped a pitch-black spear. Her smoke-like white hair moved without wind, and the upper half of her face was blocked by the extended part of her battle helmet, her red lips curling into an arc.

Sun Seth immediately stiffened all over, because the person beside him was Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira, one of the two Supreme-tier beings of the Abyss Faction.

Suddenly, Sun Seth lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground. At this moment, let alone controlling his body's energy, he couldn't even control his own bladder and urinated in his pants on the spot. The reason he was so humiliated was that he had become the oldest version of himself, so old that it felt as if he had experienced long ages and was about to reach the end of his life as a peak-tier powerhouse, only 5 seconds away from dying of old age.

Why would this happen? Because Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira, had overlapped the Sun Seth of five seconds before death with the current Sun Seth in the "Dark Tide of Time." What was even more terrifying was that not only was Sun Seth himself like this, but all the combatants present were as well. All kinds of attacks aimed at the "Gate Nodes" came to an abrupt halt.

Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira, stood on the high platform where the "Gate Node" was located, overlooking the fallen combatants. Black light orbs emerged behind her. Just as she ensured the "Gate Node" was unharmed and prepared to begin the slaughter, black-blue smoke emerged on Saint Song Samanya.

The moment the Magic Spirit appeared, it swapped places with Su Xiao. Su Xiao, who had been at Abyss Dragon Bottom, arrived at the Land of Oblivion.

Clang!

A phantom slash was executed, and the causal link between the combatants present and their own aging snapped. Although the aged appearance faded slowly, they wouldn't die of old age in a few seconds. The peak-tier powerhouses present truly hadn't expected that the closest they would come to death after reaching the peak tier would be dying of old age, but upon reflection, since this aging death was brought by a Supreme-tier powerhouse, they had no temper.

In fact, some things that seem common are far more powerful than expected, and one of them is death.

With a boom, the flowing dark tide collided with blood energy. There were only five seconds, and one second had already passed.

Thud!!!

The long blade and the black spear clashed, and layers of air waves spread. Feeling the power after the weapons collided, Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira, seemed somewhat suspicious. She truly hadn't expected that a human, even if they had ascended to the Supreme tier, would have such powerful physical strength. As expected of a Master of the Extreme Realm, and a Master of the Extreme Realm who was also a Law-Breaker Shadow.

When she had just awakened and heard these titles together, Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira, had been slightly surprised. Although they hadn't met yet, she knew that this opponent could not be underestimated.

Blood-red power enveloped the "Gate Node" behind her. As long as this "Gate Node" did not shatter, then in three seconds, the other two destroyed "Gate Nodes" would also reassemble.

The moment she saw the newcomer, Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira, was certain that this was the reason Alva Urso had awakened her, and that this would be the most important opponent of her life, bar none. All her long-term preparations were for the arrival of the Abyss Era, and this enemy would be the greatest obstacle to that wish.

Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira's blood-red aura erupted, a kind of Abyss Valkyrie aura that made the combatants retreating at full speed toward the periphery feel instinctive awe.

Just as Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira's aura was fully unleashed.

"Extreme Realm: Astral Realm."

Thud~!

The entire world where the Land of Oblivion was located froze.

"!"

Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira's eyes widened slightly. Behind her, the "Gate Node" was shattered by the slash, and bloodstains gradually appeared on her shoulder. Her entire left arm fell to the ground. It had to be said that Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira, reacted very quickly the moment danger appeared.

This time, the fragments of the "Gate Node" didn't stop halfway through their flight but continued to scatter outward, signifying that all three "Gate Nodes" had been destroyed within five seconds.

Seeing this scene, Sun Seth, Saint Song Samanya, and others who had rushed to the distance felt inspired.

But Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira, who witnessed this scene, was very calm. Darkness surged in her blood-red pupils. At the same time, her "Time Dark Tide Avatar" appeared where she had been half a minute ago, which was in the dark clouds above the Black Abyss.

Elvira's avatar suddenly appeared in front of the third "Gate Node." Immortal Archis and others, who had just destroyed this "Gate Node," had just breathed a sigh of relief when they fell into slowness, as if enveloped by invisible, viscous amber.

Elvira's avatar reached out with one hand and immediately summoned the third "Gate Node," which had not yet been destroyed, from the "Time Dark Tide." The appearance of this "Gate Node" caused the node fragments that had begun to scatter outward to stop, looking as if they were about to backtrack and reassemble.

Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira's choice was very correct. After learning that she might face a Technique Master this time, and a Master of the Extreme Realm who used a long blade and was good at cutting causality, she decided that she could not backtrack the "Gate Nodes" shattered by this Master of the Extreme Realm. Such "Gate Nodes" might have been destroyed to the extent that their causal existence, and even their past and future, were all shattered.

At this moment, in front of the second "Gate Node" in the Land of Oblivion, Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira, was looking at the Law-Breaker opposite her, silently asking: You can shatter two "Gate Nodes," but what about the third? Your Magic Spirit has already swapped positions with you. At most 2 seconds, after 2 seconds, the first and second ones will re-establish. To be precise, this should count as the fourth and fifth, because the first and second were indeed completely shattered by Su Xiao.

The Astral Faction side had means like "Time-Position Interference Devices," while the Abyss Faction had prepared more "Gate Barriers" to ensure the opening of the gate without accidents. The Abyss Faction's wealth in terms of resources was even more terrifying than estimated.

Just then, Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira, recalled a fragment from a few seconds ago: when the Magic Spirit appeared on a healer, its body shape seemed a bit wrong, as if it only had an upper body? But upon reflection, this was impossible. Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira, had clashed with Law-Breakers of the ancient era many times. At that time, she was still at her peak—Abyss peak versus Law-Breaker peak.

Based on Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira's understanding, the Magic Spirit was not in its complete state, so it definitely couldn't use the "Swap" ability. She had utilized this point back then to nearly kill an ancient Law-Breaker.

But the problem was that the strength of Su Xiao's Magic Spirit was so high that even in the glorious ancient era of the Law-Breaker Faction, it would definitely have made the top-tier ancient Law-Breakers of that time fall into a knowledge blind spot immediately. Currently, the strength of Su Xiao's Magic Spirit had reached over 40,000 points.

Su Xiao suddenly disappeared from where he was, and what appeared next was the lower half of the Magic Spirit, which had no upper body and was sitting in the air as if crossing its legs. Yes, the worst-case scenario for this "Gate Node" destruction plan was Supreme versus Supreme. It was natural for the Sun Team and the Eternal Team to destroy their respective "Gate Nodes," but if they encountered the ability of a Supreme-tier being, then the Magic Spirits of those two teams were the final trump cards.

Black Abyss, beside the third "Gate Node."

With a splash, the "Gate Node" that had just been pulled back from the past was shattered. This seemed to trigger a certain critical point, and all three "Gate Nodes" that were about to reassemble exploded simultaneously. Almost at the same time, the second "Abyss Gate" that had been looming on the Void Battlefield vanished.

The latest novel is first published on 【Platform】!

Just as Su Xiao was about to make a move, Elvira's avatar dissipated. It seemed this avatar was very precious, and Elvira was unwilling to give up under such circumstances. Seeing this, Su Xiao swapped positions with the Magic Spirit located in the "Land of Oblivion."

Land of Oblivion, Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira, had just been about to seal this area and slaughter all the enemy peak-tier powerhouses who hadn't retreated yet, when blood energy rushed toward her.

"You won, but how will you stop us from opening the gate a second time?"

Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira, leaped high. During her descent, the Abyss Dragon flew through the air, and she landed on its back. After a dragon roar, the figure of the Dragon-Riding Valkyrie disappeared into the horizon.

How to stop the Abyss Faction from opening the gate a second time? Naturally, by facing it calmly. Su Xiao had done everything he was supposed to do. If, even so, the second Abyss Gate still opened, then there was nothing to say. The Abyss Faction might have prepared for this for several eras, and their accumulation and foundation made this event inevitable. There was nothing to say about that.

Besides, did achieving the second opening mean they would definitely win? Before the war, the Abyss Faction on the Wind Sea Battlefield also said they would definitely win, but what was the result? The first battle lost was Wind Sea.

Watching the departing Abyss Dragon, Su Xiao opened the Zerg list to check the resurrection and cultivation status of Barbados. It was still in cultivation.

Confirming that the destruction of the "Gate Nodes" was successful this time, Su Xiao swapped positions with the Magic Spirit at Abyss Dragon Bottom again. As for why he didn't use the "Law-Breaker Teleportation Array," doing so in an Abyss-occupied zone—heaven knows where he would be teleported to.

Leaping onto the back of the Wings of World-Ending, he returned to his own base camp two hours later. He retracted the Magic Spirit into Zhan Long Shan and arrived at the top-level command post, where he saw the Leader discussing something with several people.

After the others left, the Leader said: "We succeeded."

The Leader spoke. Although they had successfully destroyed the "Gate Nodes," the Leader and Su Xiao had the same attitude: they were not optimistic about this. The Abyss Faction's trump card had been broken so easily, which meant the Abyss Faction's so-called years of preparation were indeed too ridiculous. With the Abyss's resource volume...

Let's put it this way: after a world is invaded by the Abyss, once the invasion recedes, the world's resources will be incredibly rich. Not to mention within the Abyss itself, what Abyss races never lack is resources; what they lack is a sufficiently good living environment. In layman's terms, gold and silver treasures cannot be eaten as food. It's that simple.

"Mm, succeeded."

Su Xiao spoke. Hearing this, the Leader's brows relaxed slightly, and he asked: "How much did you get?"

"9 million ounces."

"That's good, that's very good."

The Leader's mood was completely improved. All of the Leader's wealth, after building that world of his own, had been used for one item. He knew that Su Xiao, as the strongest combat force on the battlefield, was very short of Space-Time Power. The problem was that the Leader didn't even have tens of thousands of ounces of Space-Time Power on hand right now.

【Notification (Void Tree): The Abyss Faction is about to perform the third gate opening.】

【Number of "Gate Nodes" set for this time: 3.】

【Locations: Void Terrace, Lost Fire Forest, Abyss.】

Seeing these locations, Su Xiao understood one thing: because they were opening an Abyss Gate in the "Void," the Abyss Faction actually couldn't control the locations of the "Gate Nodes" either, which was why they had prepared sufficient resources for opening the gate. If once didn't work, then ten times! That's right, this was the Abyss Faction's astonishing preparation.

It could be said that the Abyss Lord and Su Xiao were on similar paths. If possible, they would leave behind outrageously high fault tolerance. Su Xiao was because he had always been "lucky enough to be astonishing," while why the Abyss Lord was like this, it was not yet clear.

Su Xiao hadn't figured out why the Abyss Lord had set it up this way. Clearly, the Abyss Lord had no idea about himself. The Abyss Lord knew what a Master of the Extreme Realm who was a Law-Breaker Shadow represented, so he had already prepared to be thwarted in "opening the gate" multiple times by this Law-Breaker.

The Abyss Lord had miscalculated this time. After Su Xiao destroyed three nodes by himself, the location of the next gate-opening nodes appeared directly within the Abyss. This scene actually left both sides a bit stunned—one because they were so lucky they were a bit stunned, and the other because how could this still be destroyed.

And the Law-Breaker himself at this moment was completing the "Hunting Bounty: Gate Node" and applying to the Void Tree to accept a bounty twice. In the end, not only was he rejected, but two warnings appeared, one of which was "Cannot use team notarization for unconventional operations."

A total of 7.82 million ounces of Space-Time Power worth of "Space-Time Stone Fragments," two types of rare secret treasures worth 1.18 million ounces, and one piece of Abyss-characteristic equipment. Because none of them were suitable for Su Xiao to use, he sold them all with "Flat-Price Sale Permission."

Taking advantage of the fact that the rest period hadn't ended yet, Su Xiao returned to Reincarnation Paradise. After reserving 750,000 ounces of Space-Time Power to purchase an Overlord equipment, he used all the rest to improve his physique—that is, increasing Strength, Agility, Stamina, and Intelligence by 6 points each.

Besides this, Benny also went to the Great Gathering Place to take down an Overlord equipment. As a powerful piece of equipment at the Fifth Rank of Overlord Equipment, the initial attitude there was firmly not to sell, but upon hearing that it was a transaction with Space-Time Power, the other party hesitated. After the price reached 750,000 ounces, this Overlord equipment was taken down.

In the past, the price of Overlord equipment ranked 5th to 10th was roughly 100,000 to 700,000 ounces, while the top three were very expensive. The third place could reach 1.5 million ounces, the second place doubled to 3 million ounces, and the first place soared to over 8 million ounces. This was the characteristic of Overlord equipment: the price of the first place crushed the sum of the second to tenth places.

The reason Su Xiao acquired such powerful Overlord equipment was to prepare for the promotion of the 【Demon-Sealing】 scabbard. The current characteristics of Demon-Sealing didn't quite fit Su Xiao; this thing nourished Su Xiao's vitality based on the strength of the Magic Spirit. The problem was that with his current life core volume, this level of nourishment could only be said to be better than nothing. But this didn't mean 【Demon-Sealing】 had no potential. The Overlord Essence it had devoured back then was very powerful, it just hadn't yet shown:

"Demon-Sealing Equipment Effect 3: Gluttonous Overlord (Core Passive). Demon-Sealing can devour 'any Overlord equipment' and bring about an equipment rating that breaks the upper limit."

Su Xiao used Demon-Sealing to devour 【World-Ending Blade】. It wasn't that 【World-Ending Blade】 wasn't powerful enough; it was that the "Heavenly Blade Slash Shadow" ability, which had reached 315, was indeed fast approaching the limit that this Overlord equipment, ranked eighth, could boost:

"World-Ending Blade Equipment Effect: Absolute Blade (Core Passive). Comprehensive strength of Blade Technique core +25%."

"Absolute Blade: Current actual equipment effect (Core Passive). Comprehensive strength of Blade Technique core +228%."

Equipment notarized by either Reincarnation Paradise or the Void Tree was not like in games, where the notarized value was what it was, and it would always be that bonus after wearing it. The equipment system was very complex. First, the user had to be within the "usage range" of this equipment. With the current range of the "Heavenly Blade Slash Shadow" ability, unless it was the top three Overlord equipment or the top ten Reincarnation-level equipment, it couldn't bring a full bonus.

The higher the upper limit, the stronger the bonus of Reincarnation-level equipment, but this didn't mean Overlord equipment was weak. Overlord equipment was where the first place occupied everything. Therefore, after successfully devouring 【World-Ending Blade】 with 【Demon-Sealing】, he used "Demon-Sealing" to devour the newly purchased 【Twilight Remnant Wing】, which was at the Fifth Rank of Overlord Equipment.

The devouring characteristic of "Demon-Sealing" was very strong. After it completed this round of devouring, the final devouring began. Su Xiao used "Demon-Sealing" to devour the "Dark Source Blood," which was currently the top-ranked Overlord equipment. It was worth mentioning that after any Overlord equipment reached the top spot, it would receive a huge boost, similar to a powerful being completing an advancement and sealing, which was a unique characteristic of Overlord equipment.

"Demon-Sealing" was in the process of improvement. Although there was no attribute boost, it was fine to just use it as a scabbard. Putting the long blade back into the scabbard, Su Xiao chose to teleport to the Void base camp.

Just after arriving at the base camp, a huge countdown appeared above. There were 30 minutes left in the countdown, signifying that the Abyss Campaign would restart in 30 minutes.

Leaving the base camp, Su Xiao leaped along the high defensive wall. A moment later, he reached the vanguard defensive fortress. Just as he landed on top of the fortress, he saw the Leader beside him, as well as Logistics Chief Tailier, Sun Seth, Immortal Archis, Saint Song Samanya, Lord of the Underworld, Moon Witch, and others. Even the Extreme Demon, that is, the Old Demon Hag, had come.

Su Xiao and the Old Demon Hag looked at each other, both tacitly not mentioning the past. Now their common enemy was the Abyss Faction. Besides, even when their relationship was at its worst, they hadn't directly fought to the death.

The combatants led by Tailier looked very grim, because in the distance, three Abyss Faction fortresses, tens of thousands of meters high, stood tall: the Crimson Fortress, the Dark Fortress, and the Flesh Fortress. These represented the three major army leaders—Abyss Governor Moyam, Grand Commander Alva Urso, and Blood Legion Commander Laetitia—as well as the legions under their command.

What was even worse was that within these three fortresses, there was already an Abyss Gate in each. The Abyss Faction's original plan was to open the gate within five times, but after being educated by Law-Breaker Kuku-Lin Bai Ye, they lowered this expectation to opening the gate within fifteen times. Yes, the Abyss Faction had prepared resources for those five extra gate openings beyond their expectations.

The Abyss Faction, which had lost five consecutive games on the main battlefield, had a very smooth third gate opening. As for being educated during the second gate opening, the high-level officials of the Abyss Faction tacitly didn't mention this matter. After all, the situation where that Law-Breaker destroyed three nodes by himself gave the high-level officials of the Abyss Faction a massive headache. Fortunately, all of this was in the past.

Thud~ Thud~ Thud~

Sounds like war drums came from the front. Everywhere the eye could see, the Abyss army was marching in a mighty force. The First Legion was in the center, the Second Legion was on the right flank, and the Third Legion was on the left flank. Not only that, pitch-black power surged from the tops of the three Abyss fortresses. Amidst the rumbling thunder of dark clouds, the three dark powers merged, forming an ultra-giant temporary spatial vortex in the sky, a vortex so large it blotted out the sun and sky.

"Hum~!"

A low moan like one from the ancient deep sea came, and as the huge body pressed against space, making it crackle, an ultra-giant ancient Abyss existence resembling an anglerfish with a mouth full of sharp teeth appeared. Under its belly were dark yellow eyes. Whenever these eyes opened, intense turbid light would cover two-thirds of the Void area. This ultra-giant ancient Abyss existence was so vast that its edges couldn't be seen, and a sense of fear of the deep sea and giant things rushed toward them.

Above the Crimson Fortress, a figure stood on the head of the Abyss Dragon. It was Shadow of the Dark Tide, Elvira. And on the high platform where the Abyss Dragon was located, Abyss Faction powerhouses with different appearances—some dark, some horrific, some majestic—all appeared here.

When there was only one Abyss Gate in the Void, the Astral Faction side was already at a disadvantage. Although the combatants from the five major battlefields had all gathered at the Void base camp, greatly increasing their own combat power, the problem was that the Abyss Faction's First, Second, and Third Legions would appear simultaneously. At this moment, the number of Abyss troops invading the Void was several times higher than before.

There was good news, of course: their side had an extra Supreme-tier being, and this Supreme-tier being had brought Elemental Zerg with her. Whether it was the "Guardian" or the "Wings of World-Ending," they were all very powerful Zerg units.

With the war imminent, the enemy's trump card was revealed. Did their side have no trump cards prepared? Of course not. Su Xiao had already won four consecutive games using Elemental Zerg before. This was not a battle he was dealing with alone. The Leader beside him took out a key more than ten centimeters long. The moment this thing appeared, the surrounding time, causality, existence, and other powers fluctuated violently.

This was the trump card the Leader had exhausted his wealth to prepare. This item was named: Reappearance of the Past.

The Abyss Faction with three Abyss Gates was indeed formidable, but the Astral Faction, which had received the assistance of the First Era's Great Lords, the ancient Flying Dragon clan, and the Sun God clan, was not to be trifled with. Not to mention, as long as it wasn't a Supreme-tier being, the Second Era's Law-Breaker Faction was also something that could be covered by the past, it just needed some time to reappear. ===== CHAPTER 4175 =====
