The vast power of time descended from an unknown place.

Let time return to stillness.

This time, it was no longer the divine power of Neherkato, but the divine power from the supreme true god.

Everything is still.

It wasn't just Lu Cang and his group that remained still.

Nehercateau, too, remained frozen in place.

Behind Nehercato was a girl with long, pale white hair.

This is the last time.

Whew~

He left behind only this faint sentence, and then gradually turned into specks of light and disappeared.

Nehercateau only recovered from stillness after it disappeared.

Neherkato placed his hand on the third king's sky!

But suddenly, the domain shattered!

call!

Beyond the realm, calamity blanketed the entire battlefield!

In the instant he was caught in the calamity, Neherkato was frozen solid.

That was while Nehercatto was frozen and hadn't recovered yet.

Roya stands in a strange world, affected by the slightest temporal influence.

At the very last moment when Neherkato called upon Ehkatoll, the entire effect of stabilizing the Time Ring was concentrated on it alone.

It's the only one in the entire stadium that can move right now.

At this moment, Roya was pushing the hands of a giant clock with both hands!

"Aaaaaah! Move... for me!"

cluck—

Cluck cluck—

Roya used all his divine power to enhance the broken and stable Time Ring, shaking the frozen clock in the bizarre world!

With Roya's push, the hands of the clock actually started moving again!

And the time on the field also began to flow again as Roja pushed the pointer.

"It really is..."

Neherkato breaks the frozen state.

"One after another!"

Every seemingly insignificant weak person hinders her at crucial moments.

Nehercato was about to move.

But then another person instantly teleported in front of her.

Yacaticto!

"I think this battle won't be turn-based."

At the same time, a rain of arrows gathered up from the sky fell down!

boom!

The advantage has been reduced once again.

With a wave of his hand, Yacaticto channeled the power of time.

There are almost no attributes that can counter the power of time. For a being like Jacaticto who "has no specialization," the most effective attack against Nehercato is the power of time.

Nehercato crossed his hands.

Instantly shattered the time fragments of Yacaticto.

But after only two brief attacks, countless arrows, carrying destructive power, fell from the sky!

boom!

Nehercat's strength is no longer what it was at its peak.

If time were complete, it could continue to reverse time and restore it.

Almost always in the most perfect state.

But the heavens have severed time time time again.

Neherkato's ability to revert to his previous state is also limited. Under normal circumstances, because he is constantly reverting to his previous state, as long as there is even one moment when his state is at its peak within the revertable time, he can return to that peak state.

But now...

That third incarnation of the Azure Sky had already exhausted too much of himself.

The brave and fearless warrior in the distance is still lying dead.

Use [Zhuya's Divine Power Essence] to restore your own condition.

Fortunately, this thing exists; otherwise, the overdrawn divine power would be impossible to recover.

Leng Qingying rejoined the battlefield.

Every attack was aimed at Nehercato's fatal weakness.

This gave Nehercato absolutely no chance to recover.

Under the spell of destruction, Neherkato's health dropped at an extremely rapid pace.

Every step they took was met with the scorching heat of the raging flames.

The lightning, like chains, relentlessly and tightly coiled around Neherkato, flowing through his body.

The poison gas entered Nehercato's body.

The number of poison layers stacked on Nehercato's body is increasing.

Frosty energy swirled around his body, causing Neherkato to freeze frequently.

The distant white moon still occasionally floats into my mind.

Let Nehercato's thoughts wander. Losing focus in battle is always a major taboo, especially in battles between experts.

It's always like this.

This time, the third incarnation of the Azure Sky also went into hiding.

He left these nameless nobodys to keep him in check.

Step by step, we found ourselves in a passive situation, as if we were being led by the nose.

So this is you...

The sky.

Someone like you, you actually have a day when you come to me asking for help?

Despite the difficult battle, Nehercato surprisingly revealed a knowing smile.

Even if I don't help you, you already have a solution, right?

Just as Nehercato was preparing to change his strategy and kill the weakest of the brave warriors, Fearless, first...

Suddenly, a chill ran down my spine.

Neherkato sensed that Lu Cang had appeared behind her.

"Darling, you're finally out."

At this moment, Lu Cang was dressed in all black, equipped with assassin gear.

Her appearance and attire were no different from anyone else's; she was exactly the same as herself in her previous life.

[Godslayer Guild]

[Guild Members: Cangqiong, Yongzhe Wuwei, Bailu, Leng Qingying, Zuya, Xiumi, Cangqiong]

Among everyone on this battlefield, besides those few prodigies, there is one other person who is also a player.

The third incarnation of the Azure Sky is also a player.

After leaving the guild's stronghold, Lu Cang's first attempt was to bring the third incarnation of Cang Qiong into the guild.

If that doesn't work... then we'll consider other options.

Surprisingly, it worked.

Seeing Lu Cang emerge at this moment, Nehercato didn't seem to be facing a formidable enemy, but rather appeared relieved.

"It seems you've won."

Nehercato knew exactly how many tricks he had left.

Regardless, compared to a fully powered Sky, their chances of winning are extremely slim.

The sky that appeared before him held a long sword in one hand, the [Long Nether Blade], and a short sword, the [Shattered Blade], in the other.

Her black hair fluttered in the wind as she stood facing it.

His eyes were as cold as deep ice.

After he appeared, all the other attacks on Nehercato stopped.

"Neherkato".

"I'm sorry for killing you."

Neherkato sneered: "In the Illusionary Realm, it's always been a matter of you killing me and me killing you. I remember you, so ruthless, killed so many innocent people without ever apologizing."

"How can you apologize after killing me?"

"If you care about me, and turn back now, I naturally won't care about what happened today."

Lu Cang lowered his eyelids, the cold light of the [Shattered Blade] in his hand reflected in his eyes.

He did not directly answer Neherkato's question.

Instead, she asked a completely unrelated question: "Neherkato, tell me, is the scenery of the Illusionary Realm beautiful?"

Neherkato gazed at the mottled, apocalyptic battlefield.

But she responded with just one sentence: "Beautiful."

She didn't press Lu Cang for answers, but instead slowly began to explain:

"I still remember the scenery we saw together, especially in Thousand Maple Valley, where you kissed me for the first time."

"I saw countless crimson maple leaves falling, and at that moment I really thought, how wonderful it would be if time could stay like this forever."

Lu Cang walked slowly toward Neherkato.

"yes."

"All things are stubborn and ignorant, and the world is full of foolish thoughts. There is such a beautiful scene in the world, but it is all given away by grudges and hatred."

Lu Cang's tone was full of regret: "You and I shouldn't have been enemies."

Nehercato smiled and said, "I've never considered you an enemy."

"I just want to get him back."

A hint of reluctance flashed in Lu Cang's eyes, but he neither rejected nor judged.

He simply replied, "Yes, I know."

The sword in Lu Cang's hand changed, transforming into a black giant sword.

【The Perfect Eternal Ruler (SS)】

Unlike the previous abilities that could only be used by one person, the SS-rank Eternal Ruler can be said to have gathered the abilities of everyone.

Bai Lu's spirit value, Xiu Mi's agility value, Leng Qingying's disappearance, the power of the brave and fearless, and Zu Ya's tankiness.

And almost all of each person's skills.

The difference between being able to use only one ability at a time and using all abilities simultaneously is enormous.

Putting everything else aside, just imagine someone possessing both Zuya's tankiness and the fearless power of a warrior.

It can already be considered an almost invincible existence among the demigods.

Lu Cang's giant sword lit up, unleashing its unparalleled power once again.

[Transcendence - A Powerful Breakthrough (Nine Stars)]

The Eternal Ruler bestowed upon Lu Cang more than just skills, attributes, and equipment...

At the same time, Lu Cang was also granted additional divine power.

Lu Cang's current divine power is equivalent to the sum of everyone in the guild, plus his own perfect divine position.

Seeing this, Nehercato raised his hand again.

[Zero Point] Gathers at Neherkato's fingertips.

The Time God's position grants skills with almost zero cooldown time.

As long as he has enough divine power and magic, Neherkato can unleash the Nine Star Skills indefinitely.

But the problem is... her divine power is not sufficient.

After summoning Ehkator, the small amount of Ehkator's divine power that was originally contained within her was completely exhausted.

Nehercato is now practically on its last legs.

An extremely cunning man.

Only emerge after the prey has lost its fighting ability...

With a helpless smile, Nehercato lowered his raised fingertips again.

"I must say, darling."

"I don't think I've ever seen you fight a powerful enemy fair and square."

The [Zero Point] that he had gathered in his hand also disappeared.

She had already foreseen the final outcome.

"Darling, I am not you, nor am I like you."

"I'm the kind of person who gives up when I see despair."

"I've always been like this ever since you met me."

"You were the one who told me not to give up, you were the one who told me not to despair, and you were the one who pulled me out of my hopeless fate."

"But, we've been through so many cycles of reincarnation together."

"I am still the same cowardly me."

"Death is a really terrible thing for me."

"But what I fear even more is that you also die, are completely erased, and are unable to reincarnate."

“Aichcator has this ability, and everyone else in the world has it.”

"The Infinite Reincarnation Body isn't omnipotent, my dear, you've already seen that..."

"It's not far away, it's right in your heart, in the sea of ​​your soul."

In Lu Cang's sea of ​​mind, a seed has absorbed sufficient nutrients, grown freely, and blossomed into a vibrant flower.

Its seeds are deeply rooted, having taken root throughout the entire sea of ​​the heart.

“Darling, you can win a hundred times, gamble a hundred times, and have a hundred, a thousand chances to turn bad luck into good and escape death.”

"You can create miracles and the impossible again and again."

"but……"

"Good fortune won't always favor anyone other than Jacaticto."

As he spoke, Neherkato shook his head slightly: "No, even Jacaticto can't be lucky forever."

"You've already made one mistake; you've already lost to Rona."

Why persist in this arduous struggle?

"If you stubbornly keep going, will you definitely be able to fulfill your wish?"

"Why...why couldn't it have been someone else who fulfilled their wishes...there are countless legends in this world."

"It's not too late to give up now. Don't try to change a predetermined ending. There's still a long time before things return to zero. In that long time, you can spend time with those you feel indebted to."

"Just consider it as living as an ordinary person, dying a natural death, so what?"

"Aren't you humans also born as mortals?"

Neherkato gave a bitter smile as he tried to persuade Lu Cang.

Lu Cang maintained his Nine-Star skill, not unleashing it, but instead containing it internally. All the terrifying power was contracted into the greatsword, which he controlled with ease, just like an ordinary blade.

This is the correct way to use the phrase "Transcendence - Break Through with All Your Might".

Warriors are not ranged archers or mages. While they are extremely difficult to stop, if they unleash their strongest attack too early, aren't they just setting themselves up to be blocked by others?

Lu Cang did not attack: "Neherkato, the Illusionary World is not just about the ending, nor is it just about you."

"I have so much to do... If I stop here, I'll not only be letting myself down, but also many other people..."

"You said I killed many innocent people, that I'm ruthless."

"Yes... I've given up a lot to achieve this kind of steadfastness, and I won't easily change my mind."

Nehercato: "I know I can't persuade you."

"So, how do you plan to break this deadlock with Rona?"

“Unlike me, this fake God of Time, she may be annoying, but she is a genuine God.”

"Not to mention, she and Ansu have joined forces... Your current situation is much worse than in your previous life."

Rona and An Sulian have made a move.

Upon hearing this information, Lu Cang's pupils contracted slightly.

"What, is this new information you haven't heard of?"

"Or are you just putting on an expression for me, while you've actually already figured it out?"

"But you are someone who is never easy to figure out."

"When you get ruthless, you'll even scheme against yourself."

Neherkato shook his head helplessly: "You're going to kill me, aren't you?"

"We can get started now."

In terms of resistance, Nehercat could indeed put up a few more fights against the Azure Sky. If they fought to the death, they might even be able to take down a few more.

Kill Xin Baiyue, kill Bailu, or that warrior...

While it may not be possible to win, achieving this level is still commendable.

But... what's the point of killing them?

My purpose has never been to kill anyone in the Godslayer Guild, nor has it been to harm the human race.

His only goal was to fulfill this bet.

The bet has now been lost.
