At the same time, he also saw his clone, which was floating and approaching him gracefully but fatally step by step!
An indescribable mixture of boundless rage, blasphemous frenzy, and a final desperate mad will erupted like a volcano in his alienated and twisted body!
"My... destiny?!" Pei Du roared, his voice hoarse and distorted, like sandpaper rubbing against each other, "It is... to smash that perfect face of yours!!!"
He paid no heed to the horrific penetrating wound on his right arm! His mutated left leg slammed down on the fungal blanket, instantly shattering it! His massive, misshapen body erupted at a speed far exceeding its previous one, a frenzied, self-destructive velocities. His target wasn't the approaching clone, but the keyhole sealed at the core of the throne!
He transformed himself into an out-of-control cannonball, burning with black thorns and pale mycelium flames! With the determination to perish together, he slammed fiercely into the "Eye of Balance" that determined everything!
For the first time, a subtle flicker of surprise appeared in the clone's cold, calm deep green eyes! It seemed to have been caught off guard by the thought that this "residue," gravely wounded and dying, would target not it but the core node! But its reaction was incredibly fast! Its suspended body instantly turned, and its fingertips condensed an even more terrifying beam of pale green light, aiming directly at Pei Du's charge! It wanted to completely vaporize him before he hit the keyhole!
Everything happens in a flash!
Xu Shuangyao's heart leaped into his throat! The distance was too close, and the clones' attack was too fast! Could Pei Du reach the keyhole before the beam hit him?
Just as the clone's fingertip beam was about to erupt—
"roar--!!!"
Pei Du's left eye, burning with chaotic crimson, glared fiercely at the clone! An invisible, terrifying mental impact, condensed from all that was now carried by his alienated body and a mixture of his own violent will and the plundered power of the fungus, smashed into the clone like an invisible battering ram!
This wasn't a subtle attack, but the most primitive and savage roar of the soul! It was Pei Du, the "dregs," who was the most direct and hateful provocation against the "perfect creation"!
Buzz!
The clone's suspended body suddenly froze! The beam of light concentrated at its fingertips experienced an extremely brief, almost imperceptible fluctuation! For the first time, a tiny frown-like line appeared on its perfect face. This mental shock caused no real damage to it, but it did successfully... disrupt the absolute precision of its attack!
It's just a tiny difference!
puff!
A pale green beam burst out from the clone's fingertips! However, due to that momentary interference, it grazed the edge of Pei Du's alienated body! It instantly vaporized a large piece of wriggling pale mycelium tissue on his left shoulder, leaving a charred wound!
Pei Du, taking advantage of the tiny opportunity gained by his injury, rushed to a place less than five meters away from the seal keyhole of the core node with his huge body burning with self-destructive flames and an indomitable momentum!
His alienated right claw, covered with bone spurs and wounds, was no longer used for attack. Instead, with the last of his destructive strength, he fiercely and desperately... grabbed at the violently flashing ancient keyhole pattern!
"Break it for me...!!!"
His roar resounded throughout the Fungus Dome Throne!
The clone's deep green eyes were filled with icy murderous intent, reaching a peak! It ceased to hover, its body transforming into a stream of green light. With even greater speed, it reached out its flawless hand, its fingertips condensing with destructive energy powerful enough to instantly destroy Pei Du's remains. Its target—the same sealed keyhole! It was determined to stop it! Furthermore, it was determined to personally complete the "maintenance" of this node!
One black (Pei Du), one white (clone), two figures representing the same but completely opposite forces (residue and creation, plundering chaos and pure destruction), like two out-of-control comets, with the determination to destroy each other and everything, at the same moment... they slammed into the flashing seal keyhole at the core node of the throne, which looked like an ancient eye!
Boom boom boom——!!!
Words can't describe the loud noise that erupted! It wasn't the sound of a physical collision, but rather the wail of the universe's laws as space itself was torn apart and the laws of energy were forcibly tampered with and annihilated!
With that ancient keyhole as its center, a tiny "point" with unimaginable destructive power was born! In that instant, time seemed to lose its meaning!
Pei Du's alienated giant claw covered with bone spurs and the clone's flawless hand surrounded by destructive green light touched the keyhole almost at the same time!
Buzz——!!!
A dark ring, colorless and seemingly capable of swallowing up all light, spread silently and swiftly from the keyhole. Wherever it passed, space became distorted and blurred, like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser!
Then, light! Pure white! Soul-burning light! Bursting out from that singular point of annihilation!
A terrifying energy shockwave, like billions of suns exploding simultaneously, spread madly in all directions in a spherical pattern! The solid dome structure, covered in living mycelium, shattered and collapsed like fragile glass! The thick, pulsating fungal carpet beneath his feet was instantly lifted and vaporized! The massive mycelial pillars supporting the throne room were reduced to dust in the silent energy storm!
The core of the entire fungus dome, the ultimate heart of this terrifying life form that covers the continent, began to... collapse under the ultimate annihilation collision of these twin forces of the same origin!
Xu Shuangyao was hurled back and forth by an irresistible force, like a leaf in a gust of wind. In the final moment before her consciousness was completely shattered by the violent energy turbulence, her blurry vision caught a glimpse of the hellish scene at the center of the explosion:
Pei Du's massive, alienated form and the perfect clone's silhouette violently twisted, deformed, and disintegrated within the annihilating white light and the all-consuming dark ring! Like two wax figures thrown into a furnace! Black thorn fragments, pale mycelium tissue, green fluorescent juice... everything was decomposing!
And at the very center of the destructive storm, where the ancient keyhole of the seal had been… a tiny crack, yet one that seemed to pierce through time and space… seemed to have appeared? Deep within the crack, deeper than the abyss… a void?
Then, endless darkness and severe pain engulfed her.
