Chapter 722 - 257: World Destruction_3
Above the Sea of Origin, the black tide was endless, having cornered the last part of Hemenu into a corner. The protracted struggle between the worlds was about to end, but at this moment, the Demon Sword appeared above this space.
The tip of the sword drooped as the now insignificant Golden Ocean trembled slightly.
It seemed to have realized that its death was inevitable, whether it came from the Black Sword or from an attack from the Alien Realm.
"I will end you... but I also promise you,"
"Whoever has caused you harm, people shall be punished by people, gods by gods, and the world, it too will face the world’s punishment."
"And what I need is the might to do all this."
The Demon Sword fell, striking into the heart of Hemenu in the final moment.
That drop, already considerably depleted of Creation Force, burned up instantly; in fact, even to deliver the final blow, only it could inflict true meaning upon the harm done to a world.
Laine didn’t know whether his promise had any effect, after all, the world had no Wisdom of its own. But at least the sword strike did not encounter any mishap; it indeed ended Hemenu’s ’Life’.
Of course, this did not mean that the world was completely devoid of any strength; in fact, it was like the remnants of the Nine Realms. Even in death, its remaining strength was still considerable.
But as a whole, Hemenu ceased to exist from then on. What was left could hardly be called Hemenu, but rather lifeless limbs and severed parts.
"Boom——!"
Space-time froze for an instant, followed by an explosion within and without the Mortal Realm and the Endless Void.
The world once merged together now began to separate, the remnants of the Nine Realms’ yesterday seemed to be its future.
But all of this had nothing to do with Laine anymore. Holding the Demon Sword, in his perception at this moment, the original Creation Force had been completely depleted.
But at this moment, a new force of the same essence began to grow within it.
Unlike before, the new force didn’t have that sense of ’omnipotence’; it couldn’t create everything, it couldn’t determine Order, and it had none of the mysterious aspects.
There was only pure Death and an end, a Curse and erasure of all things. And from the moment of its birth, it began to expand and multiply madly.
In the first instant, it was but a wisp; in the second, it had already grown to the volume of the previous drop of Creation Force.
The third instant, the fourth, the fifth... as if there was no end in sight.
Holding the Demon Sword in hand felt like raising the end of time. At this moment, Laine even had an illusion.
If he were to strike down now, would it sever the connection between Chaos and Hemenu, keeping the two from being connected anymore?
"It probably can’t... Even when it was alive, it couldn’t break free from Chaos, let alone after its death."
Dismissing the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, Laine felt that, as the last drop of Creation Force was used up, his consciousness also began to separate anew.
But after reorganization and separation, he seemed to have discovered something.
"My humanity and divinity... are both purer, yet not pure enough."
"Because how could my own Strength truly separate me from myself..." (See 3-162)
This was something Laine had foreseen when he took this step.
Now he was just confirming it again; in fact, this had proven that his approach was correct, just not successful enough.
But that was a matter for later. At the moment, holding the Demon Sword, its true Casting process was about to begin.
The collision of the world’s corpse with the power of Chaos was the hammer; the more completely Hemenu died, the more powerful the Demon Sword became.
Of course, although it would be best not to unsheathe it before it was properly forged, in the meantime, Laine could still use it to gain some advantages for himself. Discover hidden stories at NovelBin.Côm
For instance, as one of its materials, the link between the Benben Stone and the Primordial Waters persisted to this very day.
This endless expanse of water might be the Spoils of War of Chaos, but it was also destined to be the Demon Sword’s, and indeed, his own.
No one could claim it in entirety; this was an indisputable reality.
Whir——
Once more raising the sword, he plunged it into the abyss below. @@novelbin@@
The Demon Sword began to absorb the power of the Primordial Waters, to carry the increasingly monumental symbol of world Destruction.
At the same time, along some connection, in the fifth layer of the Spirit Realm, changes began to brew as well.
"Besides, the last trouble is you."
Turning to gaze in the direction of La, he found that the other party had not been able to escape the traces left by the sword just now.
The force of Death bolstered by the Creation Force was like a persistent disease in the bone, relentlessly eroding everything of his. Even with the extinction of the world, the power on Amon-Ra’s body also began to tremble incessantly.
"Heh——"
"Is this what you wanted from the beginning?"
Noticing Laine’s gaze, La ceased to struggle.
He no longer possessed that invincible aura, but how much better could La’s state be at this moment?
Seemingly aware of his inevitable doom, La instead became calm. He wanted to know the causes and consequences, but to this, Laine just smiled.
"Being able to reach this step while the world perishes, you are indeed hard to kill."
"But at least as ’La,’ this is our first conversation and it will also be the last."
"In this world, there is no need for an all-seeing, all-knowing God, La."
To ensure the ability to obliterate the world’s last struggle in one hit, Laine naturally could not invest too much of his power in La. Conveniently, as the world was being destroyed, the other part no longer had that kind of power.
The God of Absolute Void from [Absolute Void] was the prey of Chaos; for those things unrelated to it, Laine could at most glean a little from the edges. But the part belonging to La, he would not let go of a single bit.
Extending his right hand, the forces eroding La through an invisible connection became instantly active.
