Chapter 42: King Descends from Heaven, Fury Manifests!

The voice seemed to carry a certain magic, echoing in overlapping layers! The echoes were as heavy as iron hammers!

"You all..."

"Are not acknowledged!"

After the majestic words fell, countless terrifying sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling erupted from every dark corner, and even from the forest outside the house!

Ding Mo said viciously:

"I command you all to return to your original world! You are not permitted to intrude!!"

Following his "command," the Crystal Coffin to the side was opened, revealing a bottomless abyss within.

"Roar—!! Ahhhhhh—!!" Heavy roars and strange screams traveled from afar to near, as if captured by an invisible giant hand, and one by one, the shadowy figures fell into the Crystal Coffin without exception.

Except for Dong Xiaoyu and Ding Mo—only those who were normal humans could be spared from the disaster.

At the same time, hundreds of kilometers away.

The cold-blooded officer watched as the Guaishou were pulled backward as if by invisible chains, watching them fail to resist even as they clawed up the earth,

and could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

The remaining soldiers on the Defense Line also felt fortunate; some even could not help but weep, hugging each other, feeling quite like survivors of a catastrophe.

In fact, this was indeed the case; the "Leakage Incident" was terrifying, equivalent to a tumor in the human body, which would only devour everything in this world and grow without limit.

Has this Ritual also succeeded this time... the cold-blooded officer thought.

As long as the person wearing the Mask and becoming the "King" is a normal human, after knowing the terror and strangeness of that world, "expulsion" will become their instinct.

Of course, one cannot rule out the possibility of some lunatics; in that case, I fear only the final measures can be taken.

But now the matter is resolved,

only after this, one must prepare to deal with this "King."

After all, no country will allow such a person to remain alive...

Back to Ding Mo's side, he stared unblinkingly at the Guaishou being swept into the Crystal Coffin.

Some of them were Guaishou he had slain; they had revived at some unknown point and were struggling, not wanting to "go back."

And there was also... Lu Zhenhao!

He had also been sucked over, and by the looks of it, he was still alive! His eyes were wide open!

His form at this moment was extremely bizarre; as he struggled continuously around the Crystal Coffin, his belly looked as if it had burst open after being stretched to the limit, with no organs inside, as if it had been eaten clean!

It was unknown how he was still alive.

Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that from within his belly, something similar to an "umbilical cord" extended, connecting him to another ugly tentacled Guaishou!

That tentacled Guaishou was covered in slime, being pulled by the invisible giant hand, and was babbling and howling, looking just like a "baby" that had been treated harshly the moment it was born.

Only, compared to a real baby, it was several meters tall, heavy, and possessed infinite strength! Lu Zhenhao was dragged by that umbilical cord, following behind it like a teddy bear, struggling powerlessly.

"Save me—save me—!" He saw Ding Mo and screamed miserably.

Ding Mo saw him too, but unfortunately, he only possessed "authority" now and did not have the ability to save people.

And even if he could save him, he would not.

"No—!" Seeing him remain unmoved, Lu Zhenhao struggled frantically.

Before, this Guaishou had treated him as its "mother" and had to take him wherever it went. He had already despaired, thinking his life would henceforth be reduced to a plaything.

He never expected that now that this Guaishou was about to be expelled, he had to try to shake it off no matter what!

Following his violent movements, and even biting and pulling hard, he actually managed to barely snap the "umbilical cord"!

At the same time, the tentacled Guaishou seemed to have lost its stable "anchor" and was instantly pulled into the Crystal Coffin.

"Fuck you..." After tearing off the umbilical cord, Lu Zhenhao, kneeling on the ground, was just about to curse and vent.

But immediately, his expression went blank, and then,

he collapsed to the ground.

He was dead.

Ding Mo saw it very clearly; the moment the umbilical cord was torn away, Lu Zhenhao's complexion turned as pale as paper, and his eyes lost focus.

Even that curse was likely just a subconscious action of his mouth—

the moment he tore off the umbilical cord, he had already died.

"..."

Ding Mo sighed softly.

This was not pity for an enemy, but merely seeing the end of an ordinary person struggling in a terrifying world...

Even he had relied on luck many times to reach this day.

Even so, he was now left with only half a body and a single breath.

Thinking this, Ding Mo turned his head to look at the red and blue figure beside the throne.

"It" was currently half-kneeling on the ground, using its sword to prop itself up; its form was distorted and flickering, actually managing to barely resist the suction of the Crystal Coffin!

Ding Mo was startled and hurriedly said: "I command you, return to your original world!"

He said this sentence only to "it," and the effect was clearly more potent than before!

Immediately, the powerful authority took effect; "it" could no longer hold on and, under the stronger traction, flew toward the Crystal Coffin.

But, while flying, "it" once again did something Ding Mo had not anticipated—

as "it" flew past the limp Dong Xiaoyu, it actually grabbed the latter's legs!

"Hey!!"

Seeing this, Ding Mo was both shocked and furious!

Dong Xiaoyu could be said to have become this way because of him; Ding Mo had long ago secretly sworn in his heart to keep her alive,

perhaps after returning, Dong Xiaoyu would die of old age. But now, at the very end, he absolutely could not accept that she would not even be able to keep her life!

Ding Mo reacted extremely quickly, reaching out to grab her, his five fingers clutching her arm tightly!

Although Ding Mo had no legs now, he understood that sitting on the throne, he would not be affected in any way.

Thus, Dong Xiaoyu was pulled by the two forces from front and back, floating in mid-air due to the tension!

Seemingly because of the violent tugging from both sides, her expression was somewhat twisted, in great pain.

Ding Mo, who remained motionless, held her with his only remaining hand,

but his gaze changed immediately!

This was only because, as he made contact with her again, the healing power began to surge forth uncontrollably.

His severed body was still dripping blood!

And this caused Dong Xiaoyu's already very Aging body to begin rapidly aging once more.

Ding Mo's hand trembled, which caused Dong Xiaoyu to nearly slip from his grasp and be dragged by "it" into the Crystal Coffin!

"Bastard! I order you to let go!!" Ding Mo had the intention to make "it" let go, but this command had no effect.

When it came down to it, he, as the "King," had no ability to control the specific actions of these Guaishou!

But... Ding Mo looked at the continuously aging Dong Xiaoyu, the light in her eyes gradually dimming.

It seemed that the tighter he held on, the faster she would die!

Holding her would hurt her! Not holding her would make it impossible to protect her!

"..." Looking at Dong Xiaoyu before him, whose skin was dull and muscles were constantly withering, Ding Mo could not help but feel sorrow in his heart.

How could it be like this?

Hiss—!

Just at this moment, "it," which was grabbing Dong Xiaoyu's legs, suddenly had its hand slip, and its sharp gloves left several bloody marks on her legs!

"It" was about to lose its grip! Ding Mo then widened his eyes and shouted at Dong Xiaoyu:

"Hold on, you must hold on! You can survive, believe in yourself!"

"I... I..." Hearing this, ripples appeared in Dong Xiaoyu's extremely dim pupils, as if she wanted to say something.

However, at this instant, the muscles on the arm Ding Mo was holding withered to the extreme.

And then...

Crack!

Under the exertion of two massive forces, her aged and fragile bones and tendons could no longer bear the load!

The sound of tearing reached Ding Mo's ears.

?!!

Her arm snapped off, and he could only watch helplessly as Dong Xiaoyu flew away!
