Chapter 1125 Black, the Color of Nothingness

In the very center of the air wave is the dance skirt.

Or to be more precise - the remains of a dance dress.

As the battle fully commenced, the scars from her previous lacerations by the bloody blade became apparent. She was completely torn in two… and in the middle of the two slanted halves, a pitch-black crystal hovered in mid-air.

It is only the size of a fist, but it seems to be able to devour everything around it.

The moment it appeared, all surrounding matter began to dissolve and turn into nothingness, including the dance dress itself.

Her eyes completely lost their pupils and whites, turning into the same pitch black as the crystals.

The two pieces of her body peeled off one by one at a speed visible to the naked eye - each piece was the size of a thumb, and then the fragments were further shattered into the size of rice grains, and then slowly turned into nothingness.

During this process, the solid earth turned into a liquid similar to mud, which then turned into gas and finally dissipated.

The speed of this dissolution was incredibly fast, and in an instant the wine cellar had completely vanished. Then came the church above.

From the performance, it looked like an unparalleled energy wave erupted, destroying everything it touched...but its essence was not like that.

That is the "dissolution of meaning."

Everyone has things they once cared about, but as they grew older, they became childish and no longer cared about them. Just as every country and every civilization, in its stages of development, has goals they once strived to achieve at all costs, only to find at some point in the future that these goals become obstacles, outdated, and in need of optimization and reconstruction.

For example, the bricks and stones on the ground, the old houses, the broken city walls... and also the wine cellar underground and the church on the ground.

At some point in the future, they will all lose their meaning and be leveled, demolished, or at least rebuilt or relocated. But no matter what, at least their very existence has lost its meaning, becoming a hindrance. And ultimately, they will be forgotten, as if they never existed.

Its end is nothingness.

If we look at the infinitely distant future, civilization will eventually be reduced to ruins and the planet will reach its end.

The entire universe will disappear, and everything that ever existed will cease to exist... until everything returns to oneness, and falls into eternal silence and meaninglessness.

——If we look at the world from the perspective of an infinitely distant "truth", we will realize that...nothingness is the permanent reality, and the consciousness of existence is just an extremely short-lived illusion.

Whether looking into the past or into the future, if you can see the end of time, you will feel that the "present" is as small as dust.

Like erasing a stain—erasing "existence" from the curtain of nothingness.

This is the truth about the end of the world.

It is also the essence of the thing called "Whisper of the Void".

This power is neither an attack nor a destruction, but simply brings the "destiny" that will eventually come in the future forward to the present.

——That is exactly, premature death!

Because of this, this is a theoretically undefendable attack.

Although Xue Tiansi looked calm and his words were condescending, he was extremely vulnerable in front of the dance skirt's power that could turn everything into nothing.

Just by being watched by the "dance skirt," her skin instantly became covered in blood lines. They were cracks that resembled blood vessels and spider webs.

Like shattered porcelain, or glass shattering on a hot summer day, her entire body shattered instantly, gushing out blood.

However, such a tragic end made Xue Tiansi reveal a ferocious yet satisfied smile: "Is it only... this extent?

"Even I...can't be dissolved?!"

Xue Tiansi's right arm turned into a bloody blade and chopped down in an instant.

A flash of blood appeared, and the already melted ground was torn apart.

It was like parting the sea—except she parted the earth.

The rubble continued to rise, and invisible air waves pushed outward. It was like a bullet piercing a human body—only the slender blood blade penetrated, while thousands of meters away, dozens of meters wide of land was instantly rolled over and shattered.

The church on the ground was completely shattered, and moonlight poured down from the huge hole.

It is impossible for an attack of this magnitude to not result in innocent people being injured or killed.

Before being dissolved into nothingness, the entire block met its end in an instant.

It did cause minor damage - when the blood blade touched the skin of the dancer, it did not immediately turn into nothingness, but left a second penetrating crack, cutting her into four pieces.

The moment she was attacked, the nothingness around her stopped.

Aiwass and Sherlock also suddenly woke up in a burst of violent and loud buzzing sound.

The countless doors they had witnessed opening, the otherworldly knowledge constantly pouring into their brains, came to an abrupt halt. It was like transferring a large file only to have it display "File Corrupted" when opened. The decompression process was instantly interrupted, like being suddenly awakened from a dream.

When Aiwas woke up, he saw Wuqun and Xuetiansi confronting each other.

He could hear and see everything that had happened outside, but he couldn't respond—his "computing power" had been completely utilized, causing the system to freeze. Now, after automatically crashing due to "the program not responding," Aiwass recovered instantly.

But the dance dress that was cut into four pieces did not show any anxiety or fear.

"...It's just three thousand blood vessels, why..."

The dance skirt was just a little confused.

After all, what is here is not the real body of nothingness... Just as what Xue Tiansi said, it is just "the dregs of nothingness".

It originally existed in Xue Tiansi, and in the earlier past it existed in Hengwo's body.

"Yes... [Hate], scum. Hatred has existed since ancient times."

Xue Tiansi's voice was arrogant yet elegant: "It is precisely because they have always hated me that they won't let you dissolve me so easily...

"—You're just a fragment of nothingness, are you worthy enough to look up at the moon? Bow your head and kneel down!"

The next moment, huge scarlet ripples emerged from under her feet.

The blood-red ripples that shattered everything collided with the inky black shield.

Scarlet and black intertwined, and the offensive and defensive battle beyond vision began again.

...Hatred has existed since ancient times?

At that moment, Sherlock was stunned for a moment.

He seemed to vaguely understand something... Could it be that it was because this attack affected innocent people and made Xue Tiansi carry endless hatred... that it could cause damage to the void?

Because this strike has "meaning", it will be remembered for a long time.

Although over a long period of time, both love and hate will be eliminated in meaninglessness.

But if the power of nothingness is not strong enough and the "time" that can be dissipated is not too much... compared to love, "hate" may last longer?

"Those blood vessels..."

Aiwass looked at the evil yet sacred wings made of blood vessels.

Like his father, the Feasting God, the Blood God is the "God of the Eternal Feast." His emphasis is on sacrifice, blood, flesh, pain, and longing... It's for this reason that his followers are so cruel and inhumane, using all sorts of inhumane methods for sacrifice.

But after the Blood Sky Officer arrived, he did not harm any innocent people.

Even though she hated the Moon Child's actions immensely, she surprisingly didn't let the blood slaves be buried with him. Nor did she completely destroy the family just because a Moon Child was born in the family.

How could such a person hold such a cruel and extreme domain?

unless……

Xue Tiansi has things that can only be accomplished by relying on this field.

The purpose of Cain creating the Son of the Moon was to complete the "perfect man". The perfect man was to replace Amber to fight against the Dusk. In other words, the purpose of Cain's creation was to fight against nothingness - that's why He chose to attack the dance skirt more prioritized than Evans and others.

Through cruel sacrifices, one is entangled in hatred, so that one's evil deeds will not be forgotten even after thousands of years.

These three thousand veins, wrapped in a wing of hatred and curse that Aiwass could immediately discern. They were clearly veins that had been peeled alive—these veins, gathered through ritual sacrifices for who knows how long, a hatred that would never be forgotten, the fragments of nothingness ripped from her body, could not truly harm her.

Hengwo voluntarily bears the influence of nothingness, and she will inevitably be eroded.

The Blood Sky Master's purpose was to achieve perfection and reach the realm of Twilight. Cain, hoping to fulfill Hengwo's wish, created the Moon Child to embody the "principle of perfect man." If he truly could achieve perfection... then, given this act of creation, this perfect man would be no substitute for Amber, but rather a figment of the void.

...But ironically, Hengwo was too utilitarian when creating Xue Tiansi, so he didn't put any real love into the process. Both Hengwo and the Banquet Master only regarded Xue Tiansi as a test subject. The only one who loved Cain was the current Wu Tiansi.

It is precisely because of the lack of "love" that even if Xue Tiansi can reach the realm of perfection, "9" will never reach "10".

"No wonder……"

Aiwass murmured.

He had felt something strange for a long time - why was black the representative color of the path of love?

This is obviously unreasonable.

The Moon Child is red, and the Beast Path is also dark red. I don't know if the Sun Path is red, but at least it can't be black... The Love Path should be red no matter how you think about it, and at worst it should be pink.

And on the way of love, which is the source of creation, the shadow god representing revenge strangely appeared, and a large number of curse concepts were mixed in.

...Now it seems that this is probably because the First Source River has long been polluted by nothingness.

The concept of revenge shouldn't belong to the River of Creation, but it undoubtedly belongs to the opposite of the Path of Love—hate. The meaning of revenge lies in remembering and hating, and remembering is the power of the Path of Dusk... Love plus dusk is exactly nothingness.

——Revenge is "creation based on nothingness."

That is the powerful resistance force generated by the source of creation spontaneously fighting against nothingness!

That is why shadow is the power of black - it is not the color of "love" at all, but the color of "nothingness"!

When Aiwas thought of this, he suddenly realized something.

The huge wings behind him are made up of thousands of blood vessels, making him look like a god-like Xue Tiansi.

Behind him, countless blood vessels were like inverted roots.

Doesn't this also mean an upside-down world tree?

If the giant tree, the ancestor of the elves, means "giving everything for others", then the philosophy of the Blood Sky Master is exactly the opposite.

Let all external meanings belong to yourself!

That is a similar but different theory from "premature death."

It's not about making life meaningless. It's the exact opposite—it's about attaching immense importance to the meaning of existence of those whose lives we've taken away.

It is precisely because He is extremely lacking in "meaning" that He desires to plunder meaning from others to supplement His own existence.

It is precisely because of Xue Tiansi's unscrupulous plundering... that he has the ability to fight against nothingness!

If the original purpose of Xue Tiansi's birth was to fight against nothingness - then when he is now confronting nothingness head-on, the meaning of his own existence has already been fulfilled!

——How could a sinner who carries the hatred of millions of people for hundreds of thousands of years be easily dissolved by such a weak force as nothingness?

Aiwass felt as if he had some inspiration...

Could it be that snakes are also...

The warring parties separated again.

Bathed in the pure moonlight, Xue Tiansi raised his head and raised his hands, as if wanting to embrace the moon.

"Mother!"

The childish voice, as resolute as iron, echoed in the air: "Witness!"

Update completed meow!
