The changed rules of the game have made it extremely cruel.
Like a merciless giant net, it tightly enveloped the beast warrior and Death God Karl, forcing them to engage in a life-or-death struggle.
Those beast warriors who had originally hoped to take advantage of the chaos were stunned upon hearing the new rules.
Their little schemes have nowhere to hide.
Their escape route was completely blocked. The new rules were like a sharp double-edged sword, cutting off all their chances and leaving them with no choice but to fight Death Karl to the death.
However, behind this seemingly fair and brutal duel lies a "divine will" that controls everything—Lu Renjia.
Faced with him, the beast warriors were as insignificant as ants, utterly powerless to fight back.
At this point, some people may have questions.
Since they were going to die anyway, why didn't they join forces with Death God Karl to fight against Lu Renjia?
Wouldn't that increase the chances of winning?
Since we're all going to die anyway, why not die a more glorious death?
In reality, the answer is quite simple.
These beast warriors knew exactly what was going on.
They knew perfectly well that if they faced Lu Renjia head-on, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock, with absolutely no chance of winning.
Facing the Grim Reaper Karl, although the chances of survival are slim, there is still a glimmer of hope.
How could they possibly abandon this last remaining hope and choose the path that would inevitably lead to their deaths?
Although Lu Renjia reduced their chances of survival, they would not give up easily as long as there was a glimmer of hope.
After all, while Death God Karl was strong, he paled in comparison to Lu Renjia.
"Damn it, his little tricks didn't escape his eyes!" Nasus roared through gritted teeth.
His original plan to take shortcuts was ruthlessly exposed, and now he has no choice but to bite the bullet and fight Death Karl to the death.
For Death God Karl, this new rule is a double-edged sword, with both advantages and disadvantages.
On the positive side, he no longer needed to search for beast warriors one by one as before, which undoubtedly saved a lot of time.
The bad news is that the time has been drastically reduced, from the original three hours to one hour.
"Hmph, an hour is enough." A cold glint flashed in Death God Karl's eyes. "I will extract all the energy from them, and then combine it with the Void Beast. It's still uncertain who will emerge victorious."
He knew very well that Lu Renjia would never let him go.
His previous pleas for mercy to Lu Renjia were merely a tactic to buy time.
In his view, when a person believes that he can control everything, that is often when he makes many mistakes.
He felt that Lu Renjia's move to change the rules of the game was a manifestation of his belief that he was in control of the whole situation, which was exactly what he wanted to see.
Only in this way can he truly have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
His trump card has always been the Void Beast, and that has never changed.
Those void behemoths are mysterious creatures from higher dimensions, and in this higher dimension, their strength will only grow stronger.
At this moment, Death God Karl's only worry was his past self from 1,200 years ago.
If he can free himself from that past, he will have the chance to escape to a distant place.
Moreover, the Void Beasts have always been hidden in higher dimensions. They are like a group of hunters lurking in the darkness, waiting for the best time to strike.
This opportunity required him to create it himself.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Void Beast alone to rescue him from 1,200 years ago from Lu Renjia.
"We must speed up the process of absorbing energy. If I die 1,200 years ago when the time comes, the entire history of the Styx civilization will be wiped out."
Death God Karl was well aware of the implications; once the Styx civilization ceased to exist, the Void Beast would also deviate from its original historical trajectory.
Even if there are still Void Beasts in the void, they are far beyond his control.
On the battlefield, Death God Karl was like a demon crawling out of the abyss of hell.
The eerie dark energy around him burned fiercely like black flames, spreading outwards in a menacing manner.
In an instant, he moved like lightning, rushing into the army of beast warriors, like a ferocious, ravenous wolf breaking into a flock of unsuspecting sheep.
He used his palm as a knife, and each swing was like the Grim Reaper wielding his scythe.
With a wave of his hand, dark energy surged forth like a raging tide, leaving devastation in its wake.
Those beast warriors were instantly torn apart by this power.
Instantly, blood gushed from the wound like a fountain, splashing into the void.
Some of the beast warriors resisted, roaring in anger.
His eyes flashed with a mixture of fear and rage as he brandished his weapon and slashed at Death Karl.
However, their attacks were instantly repelled when they came into contact with the energy surrounding Death Karl, like fragile branches hitting hard steel.
Those weaker warriors were crushed by the invisible force before they could even get close to Death Karl, their bodies turning into dust and scattering in the wind.
Wherever Death Karl went, screams of agony rose and fell, never ceasing.
The corpses of the beast warriors were scattered haphazardly on the ground, some missing limbs, some cut in half at the waist, their internal organs spilling out.
The stench of blood permeated the entire battlefield, making it nauseating.
But in the end, without exception, under the erosion of the black energy, only bones gleaming with white light remained in the void.
In this bloody massacre, Death Karl proved his name as Death God, continuing his killing spree with ruthless cruelty and without the slightest mercy.
Nasus watched helplessly as the beast warriors fell one after another under the ravages of Death God Karl, his face instantly turning dark.
Death God Karl's strength far exceeded his imagination.
"I can't wait any longer. In a one-on-one fight, I'm no match for him!"
After a fierce battle between heaven and man, he looked up to the sky and roared, his angry roar exploding across the battlefield like thunder.
Filled with boundless killing intent, he charged wildly toward Death God Karl.
Nasus's muscles bulged, each one seemingly containing boundless power, with veins snaking beneath his skin like pythons.
The aura of power emanating from him spread outwards like surging waves, demonstrating his strength as one of the best beast warriors.
The enormous weapon in his hand gleamed coldly in the sunlight, and as he ran, it created gusts of wind that seemed to tear the air apart.
As he approached Death Karl, he leaped up suddenly, using all his strength to smash his weapon down at Death Karl.
The weapon, accompanied by the sound of wind cutting through it and containing power enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, hurtled towards Death Karl.
Death God Karl merely raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer.
There was no fear in his cold eyes, as if Nasus's attack was nothing more than a child's trick in his eyes.
Just as the weapon was about to strike him, he vanished from the spot like a ghost.
Nasus's attack missed, the immense force slamming into the ground, sending dust flying and creating a huge crater. The surrounding land also cracked like a spider web.
Death God Karl appeared behind Nasus, and with a backhand swing, a black energy blade flew towards Nasus like a black lightning bolt.
The energy blade contained powerful dark energy, which distorted the surrounding air.
Nasus sensed the attack from behind, quickly turned around, and used his weapon to defend himself.
The moment the energy blade collided with the weapon, a burst of intense light erupted, followed by a deafening roar.
Nasus felt a tremendous force crashing down on him like a tidal wave, and his body was shaken backward like a falling leaf.
His feet carved two deep furrows in the ground before he could barely steady himself.
"Damn, so strong!" Nasus was shocked when suddenly his vision blurred.
Death, Karl, appeared before him like a ghost, grabbing his neck and draining his energy.
Seeing this, Lu Renjia feigned surprise and deliberately relaxed his guard on Karl, the Grim Reaper from 1,200 years ago.
This action was caught by Death, who drained Nasus dry in a fraction of a second.
"Now!"
In an instant, all the absorbed energy was transferred to the void behemoth.
The Void Beast suddenly appeared beside Lu Renjia, biting down on Karl, the God of Death from 1,200 years ago.
