“Is that so? Pity I didn’t tell you one thing—no matter how empty, even nothingness is something I can devour!”
A profound mental voice came from above the half skull.
Immediately, a pale mask the size of the sky emerged behind him. Flowing blood tears filled its eye sockets, as if forming a black hole that devoured everything around.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
All the white downy feathers were sucked into the mask and instantly consumed.
Crack! Crack!
Cracks appeared in the void, suddenly shattering like mirrors.
Even the boundary between reality and illusion could not resist the devouring power of the Void Mask!
“You will never… understand me!”
Along with the voice of the Void Mask, the figure of the Dream Cocoon girl was “squeezed” out from the illusory world, already losing half her form.
Simon’s complete body appeared, one hand pressing on the Dream Cocoon girl’s head: “Thank you, you’ve helped me achieve my goal. Perhaps, when I transcend in the future, I may still remember you—Dream Cocoon!”
Crack!
With the white mask falling, the Dream Cocoon girl immediately plunged into eternal darkness.
…
Time passed continuously, and most of the Inner World had been purified. A massive number of divine abominations were discovered and eliminated, while the habitats of demons and vengeful spirits were increasingly compressed.
Eventually, the entire Inner World appeared illuminated from the outside, except for the last core, which remained filled with hatred and darkness.
All surviving divine abominations spontaneously gathered here, preparing for a final desperate battle.
“Indeed… the location is exactly here!”
A dense army of allied tribes lined up at the border, with numerous deities above.
Xu of the Ling race looked ahead at the divine abominations and the black aura rising into the sky, his expression filled with excitement: “This is the last core of hatred in the Inner World. Once we purify it completely, the entire Inner World can be transformed! It will be absorbed by the Primary World, and we will all be the greatest contributors!”
The radiant light of the gods emerged, causing the demons to shriek and retreat continuously.
“The number of divine abominations seems even fewer than imagined!”
“And their strength is also weaker than expected!”
“A gift from heaven!”
“Annihilate this place!”
Divine thoughts rippled among the gods, filled with excitement.
Blazing divine light continuously fell, sweeping away the demons and vengeful spirits at the periphery.
“Aoao!”
“Jiejie!”
At this moment, those still defending around the core of hatred were some bizarre-looking, crazed divine abominations, who had not yet charged forward en masse due to the immense pressure from the gods.
“Strange, where are the leaders of the divine abominations? Especially the strongest, the two-headed dragon Olyphis and the illusory Dream Cocoon…”
A Supreme beside Wu Ming voiced his confusion: “If they were still here, today’s battle would surely be extremely difficult…”
“No matter what schemes they have, as long as we purify the hatred of the entire Inner World, what is there to fear?”
Xu stepped forward, with a hint of enchantment in his voice.
“Begin!”
Buzz! Buzz!
With his words, brilliant white pillars of light rose from the captured cities of the Inner World, converging into the sky.
Over these years, the gods had used Dragon King City as the core, gradually encroaching on the Inner World’s territory, eliminating nodes of hatred, and finally forming an overwhelming momentum.
A tide of vitality swept continuously, instantly transforming the entire heaven and earth, weakening the black aura. The power of this final core of hatred was also continuously declining.
The divine abominations roared in terror, helplessly watching their strength drain away.
“Charge!”
“Kill them!”
On the ground, the allied armies of countless races formed formations and stormed into the last core area.
The demons, vengeful spirits, and even the weakened divine abominations became their trophies.
“The glory of the gods shall illuminate the entire Inner World!”
The wills of the Supreme Beings echoed, splitting the ground to reveal a terrifying underground sea of hatred, which was rapidly drying up.
Vast networks of purplish-red withered, the black hatred continuously receding, finally revealing the figure of the Void Mask at the very center.
“The child of the Inner World!”
“The Void Mask!”
“Simon!”
The gaze of the Supreme Beings converged, capable of igniting and burning even beings of sixth or seventh tier existence.
Yet the Void Mask showed no reaction at all: “Gods… you wish to utterly destroy me and transform the entire Inner World? Presumptuous!”
Zila!
In that instant, all the gods could feel the will of the Inner World.
An overwhelming surge of rage and fury descended, infusing the Void Mask before them.
“Actually, I should thank you all… if you hadn’t driven the Inner World to this final step, how could it have relinquished everything and merged with me?”
The Void Mask laughed wildly. Four pale masks of different forms floated around him, each expressing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, all sharing the common trait of flowing blood tears from their eye sockets.
The four masks revolved around him, spinning faster and faster, until suddenly a vast black hole formed.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
An astonishing suction force first cleared away all surrounding hatred, then the divine abominations, demons, and vengeful spirits…
The black hole’s range continuously expanded, and within a few moments, the terrifying suction force reached the divine allied forces and the gods above.
“This power?”
Wu Ming’s eyes flashed with sharp light: “The final retaliation of the Inner World?”
If there was still a will of the world within the Inner World, then at the end, it must have relinquished all authority, even actively merging with the Void Mask Simon to escape destruction.
And having received the blessing of a world will that rivaled or even surpassed the Primary World, to what extent had the Void Mask reached now?
“This is a madman!”
Wu Ming immediately saw through the essence of this black hole: “Daring to devour everything at this moment, rushing toward the ninth-tier transcendence!”
“And… still maintaining such powerful strength until now, it seems those most formidable divine abominations have already been devoured by himself!”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Unfortunately, the Void Mask would not answer any of his questions now.
The vast black hole almost instantly encompassed half of the Inner World, affecting all Supreme Beings without exception, drawing them into the black hole’s range.
At the same time, a strange aura emerged.
The Dragon King God froze: “This is… the aura of transcendence beyond the Supreme?! This divine abomination is rushing toward a level beyond the Supreme?!”
The astonishing suction force had already completely enveloped him, pulling him step by step into the core. Even teleportation or other great abilities could not escape at all.
And as the Dragon King God looked at that place, his eyes were filled with terror, fully aware that once drawn inside, he would be devoured by the Void Mask, even becoming nourishment for its ascent to a new level.
Buzz! Buzz!
Within the Inner World, all cities suddenly exploded, releasing vast amounts of black hatred, dense as if tangible, converging into the black hole, like a cage encompassing the entire Inner World.
Boom!
Even the gods’ fortress, the core city transformed from the Dragon King Throne, exploded instantly, releasing massive amounts of life springs from its foundation, which were immediately polluted, turning into thick hatred.
“Xu! What are you doing?”
At this moment, even the most foolish gods noticed Xu’s abnormality: “Everything was under control, was it? This is your control?”
“We’ve finally arrived at this point!”
Xu’s expression was extremely strange at this moment: “You will never understand me!”
As he spoke, a pale mask suddenly appeared on his face!
“Void Mask… you… a split consciousness! No! Wait, the aura is completely different!”
All the Supreme Beings were horrified.
“The greatness of our Ling race, how could you possibly comprehend?”
Xu’s voice was filled with pride: “The races of the Primary World are too shallow. Even within a single race, there are conflicts and schemes. How could such a lowly bloodline aspire to the power beyond the Supreme?”
“Conflict? Schemes?”
Wu Ming suddenly seemed to understand something: “Beware of the other Ling race Supreme Beings!”
“It’s already too late!”
From several balls of light, the Xu Ling beings of the Ling race spoke in unison, their divine thoughts suddenly becoming consistent.
“There has never been a Ling race in the world. All beings within the Ling race are of different bodies but one mind! We are countless, yet also one!”
As they spoke, the Xu Ling beings transformed into streams of light and plunged into the black hole.
Gurgle! Gurgle!
This voluntary fusion immediately enhanced the black hole’s suction power, causing numerous gods of sixth and seventh tiers to be unable to withstand it, instantly being drawn inside.
“So that’s it… the Void Mask is the divine abomination of the Ling race… no, because of this characteristic, they are essentially one and the same!”
Even Wu Ming, who had traveled through countless worlds, found it hard to imagine that such a race could exist in the universe. They could maintain distinct individual auras, even ascend separately, yet ultimately unify their thoughts.
“Our race’s long-cherished wish is to ascend beyond the Supreme, reaching omnipotence! Today is the day we fulfill it!”
Xu spread his arms wide, and countless threads of divine light, like spider silk, pulled the nearby Supreme Beings toward him: “It is your fortune to become nourishment for our breakthrough!”
The Void Mask already possessed formidable devouring power, capable of seizing the abilities of others for its own use.
At this moment, divine abominations, true gods, Supreme Beings, and even the power of the will of the Inner World were all being gathered into one, inevitably making it increasingly “perfect,” ultimately achieving the ninth tier!
Primary World.
Across the Ling race’s continent, countless Ling race individuals suddenly stopped their actions, their faces displaying eerie smiles.
Then, one Ling race individual fell to the ground, a mysterious aura emerging from his body, converging into the sky.
More and more Ling race individuals did the same, and in the air above, a white mask coalesced, suddenly appearing across the entire Primary World, continuously expanding.
“What… is going on?”
Across Frostlands, human kingdoms, and even the domains of Sky Dragons, all could see a white mask rising slowly, as if etched into the sky itself.
