Chapter 351: The starry sky is the final grave

"Damn it! What have you done! Look at what you've done!!!"

Boss broke his defenses and cursed in pain, and amidst the overwhelming Holy Light, he saw the monster's huge vertical pupil constantly trembling, then suddenly contracting, as if regaining a hint of humanity and reason.

"Ugh....."

Holy Light struck like a heavy hammer, fiercely jolting Lan Baoshi awake. In her scarce clarity, she gazed at the gleaming Spirit Energy Crystals scattered on the ground, then turned her gaze toward Boss.

Although she hadn't yet understood how these events came to be, she knew that Boss was the sole culprit behind all of this.

"Ugh!!!"

Like the piercing scream of a raging wind, the huge black monster let out an extremely furious roar, its oppressive vertical pupil locked onto Boss, and that immense pressure made him break out in a cold sweat.

He succeeded in preventing the other's ascension.

He also succeeded in achieving the ascension he had imagined.

In his vision, after Lan Baoshi was injected with the potion he had painstakingly prepared for years, she would completely transform into an extraordinary half-disaster beast for him to command.

This way, he could not only destroy the test field, but also easily annihilate the fleet that came to reinforce, and create a civilization reborn from fire.

Although his methods were vile and his sins clung to him, it was all worth it.

But he never expected that Jierte's aunt would appear as a variable; he couldn't have imagined that, given Jierte's death, so many accidents could arise.

"You....."

"Ugh!!!"

The Insect scream sounded again; in the next instant, endless pain surged from his limbs, a shrill wail rose, and Boss's body kept floating upward, black substance continually drifting from his limbs.

His body was being crushed bit by bit, then turned to dust.

"Ah ah ah!!!"

Endless pain kept coming, time seemed to become extremely slow; the other deliberately didn't let him die quickly, so he could only struggle in the depths of agony.

"I.... not......"

He was about to say something, but Lan Baoshi seemed unwilling to give him that chance, once again intensifying his torment.

The surrounding guards wanted to step forward, but as soon as they took a step, they would instantly turn to ash and dissipate; they could only watch helplessly as Boss was gradually dismantled by the other side.

The gruesome scream made people's blood run cold; they watched helplessly as Boss's limbs were ground to flying ash, revealing stark white bones, then fresh, beating organs and heart.

This extraordinarily bloody scene made the onlookers widen their eyes, but Lan Baoshi's retaliation was far from over.

Only to see Boss's body, which was about to be completely ground away, being enveloped by a black life force, and then miraculously began to reshape.

Boss's feeble wail rose again; he felt as if tens of thousands of Insect disasters were gnawing at his body, accompanied by the pain of being continually crushed—even his rationality could not save him.

I... was wrong...

"Kill... me...."

But the other side seemed unwilling to just let Boss go, repeatedly rebuilding and destroying his body; his wails were like cruel notes, unceasingly rising and falling.

Thus it went on and on, until the mass called Boss, now rotting flesh, could no longer emit a sound; he could no longer be considered a living being, merely a mass of endlessly regenerating cells.

Even so, the monster continued to destroy him over and over until he completely vanished.

And those huge vertical pupils then turned toward the dazed Da Mao not far away.

"....."

"Sorry......"

After whispering for a long time, Da Mao finally uttered only these three words.

The huge vertical pupil stared at her silently, then glanced downward with a hint of loss, looking utterly forlorn, as if asking her why she had done this.

"I....."

"I from the very beginning...."

Da Mao never spoke of her past; perhaps only Boss and she herself knew the reason for her betrayal.

Da Mao wanted to explain, but the vertical pupil gently closed, as if unwilling to hear her explanation.

"......"

"Sorry."

Da Mao lowered her head and once again offered a sincere apology.

But in the next moment, a light, floating sensation came over her, and Da Mao felt her body continually drifting upward.

Her body was gradually being crushed into ash, yet the expected pain did not come.

The huge black monster had already turned its back, seemingly unwilling to look at her any further.

Gazing at that pitch-black back, Da Mao seemed to see once again the sweet little cat that used to call her 'big cat sister'.

She smiled.

"Thank you....."

Da Mao vanished without pain, and the surrounding guards had long been completely crushed by her.

At this moment, she stared blankly at the pile of glittering gems.

Then, the black life force surged again, wrapping the pile of glittering Spirit Energy Crystals, after which a humanoid body was continually reshaped.

Watching the continually reshaped body, the vertical pupil finally showed excitement, but the next moment she watched in horror as the newly formed body was shattered again, and no matter how many times she tried, it was to no avail.

"Ugh......."

Her sorrowful cries spread across the entire land; she realized she could never rescue her Knight Sir.

The whole land echoed with her lament; surviving humans gazed at that massive figure and, for some reason, also felt a deep sorrow rise.

Perhaps because their homeland was destroyed, or because a loved one had died—either way, grief had filled the entire land.

Her sorrowful cries lasted a long time; she could never save her Knight Sir, and she could do nothing.

However, the worst part was that, under the incessant erosion of heavenly disaster, her scarce rationality was gradually fading.

Upon realizing this, the huge vertical pupil seemed to well up with tears.

After a brief consideration, she finally made a decision.

Taking her Knight Sir, she left this planet, at least to avoid bringing more suffering to this land because of her.

If she cannot redeem everything, then let this vast starry sky become her and her Knight Sir's final grave.

She absorbed all the sparkling Spirit Energy Crystals into her body, together with the bracelet she had given to the other party.....

She flew up into the sky......

(Cough cough, retracting my earlier statement, so exhausted I can't write; I'm going to sleep first.)
