Apocalypse Forecast

Huai Shi couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

He felt the death crisis that had transcended the previous one erupting again.

This time, he had no strength left to defend himself, only to get up.

Yet, sensing the operation of the Book of Fate within his soul, he couldn’t help but smile.

His heart suddenly became calm.

Filled with confidence!

Yes, he still had one last move he hadn’t used.

A trump card sufficient to determine victory or defeat!

In that instant, as Hercules shattered the space arriving once more, Huai Shi’s mind was devoid of fear, his consciousness utterly focused, mirroring everything within his soul.

He even closed his eyes.

Smiling, unafraid of death.

Just, he took a deep breath...

And then, amidst the great burst from breaking through the space, he shouted aloud.

"——Tong Ji save me!!!!!!"

Bang!

The sound of metal clashing erupted!

In that instant, Hercules raised his eyes in shock, his emerald eyes illuminated by the light before him, incredulous.

It was Huai Shi’s arm.

The Hand of Steel blocked in front of the dagger blessed by Hermes, unafraid of the impact and offense from Hercules, devouring all the power contained within.

It did not break before a power that could crush even an iron wall, nor was it damaged by that unparalleled sharpness.

A fine sound emerged from within, countless tiny mechanisms operating with complex structures, causing the heavy steel arm to swiftly disassemble, unfold, revealing a transformation structure containing countless mysteries.

This time, the Element of Destructive did not burst forth.

Because a more powerful force descended, completely suppressing the flesh of the Eternal Beast, reigniting the light of fire in the Ruins.

Casting Furnace: Hands of Prohibition, activate!

The pale Alchemy Fire rose within the divine nature of the Great Priestess, transforming into the radiance that tempers miracles!

It was a light different from Apollo’s glorious miracle, yet it carried the scent of Prometheus’s sin.

It was the ambition to steal divine powers and recreate the human world!

At this moment, when the Casting Furnace activated, the entire cemetery fell into a massive tremor, a huge force erupting from nowhere, like a torrent descending from the heavens, engulfing everything.

Immediately, under the light of the Alchemy Fire, countless steel burst with a high-pitched roar.

Huai Shi’s soul overclocked, exerting a terrifying efficiency and power output he had never imagined himself capable of—as if instantly transforming into the core of the universe, the Origin Spring of all things, manipulating the vicissitudes of the world.

The meaning of renewal and mutation flowed from within.

And a chilling will had already descended everywhere, causing the sky to collapse amidst the roar, countless steel slanting down like torrential rain.

The earth trembled and cracked, innumerable material erupting like a volcanic outbreak.

The extension of heaven and earth collided and converged in an instant, intertwining into each other.

Like two tightly clasped hands, forming an indomitable skeletal framework.

Countless dazzling miraculous transformations emerged from within, causing all the steel to dissolve, flowing like water, streaming up the framework, converging, expanding, extending, recreating, and ultimately forming a majestic entity.

It was a high tower.

A tower rising from the deepest part of the earth, as if to pierce right through Helios.

Right behind Huai Shi, in the blink of an eye, it surged from the earth, descending from the sky!

And at the center of the high tower, the Alchemy Fire emitted a cold light.

From this instant on, there was no longer darkness on the pitch-black sky dome, yet it did not regain brightness, for the overly glaring light and overly profound darkness were completely devoured by that high tower, leaving only a sanguine dim glow.

Like the setting sun.

At this moment, under the twilight glow, ashes of burnt-out embers fell silently in the wind, turning into delicate snow.

Filled with a familiar scent.

Causing Huai Shi to be enveloped in remembrance.

"This is..."

Hercules’s movement paused for a moment, yet the changes before his eyes were insufficient to terrify him. In the moment of a missed strike, he launched a new round of offensive again.

But his actions inexplicably froze in place.

In the shadow of the furnace’s ruins, his body rapidly developed a gray-white hue, as if petrified.

But when he struggled with all his might, breaking through this shadow, his skin and lush hair immediately fell into high heat, as if thrown into a furnace, bursting into flames!

As if cursed by light and shadow!

The chaos did not cease because of this; the moment the high tower was established, there were complex changes disseminating with a loud noise, as if countless massive machinery was operating, causing iron domes and gigantic pillars to arise from the ground, forming one intricate structure after another, creating a terrifying labyrinth capable of imprisoning the Minotaur.

And amidst this unexpected transformation, Huai Shi also stood dumbfounded.

Slowly turning his head, gazing at the sky-piercing tower behind him.

He couldn’t help but pinch his chin.

The smile grew more joyful.

Though unaware of what transpired, it all seemed like a good thing.

And——

He turned around, bowing to introduce the demigod hero not far away:

"——Welcome to the Town of Dusk!"

.

At this moment, no, more accurately, five seconds later, the observation mirror of the Current Circumstances only then detected this terrifying transformation from the outermost point.

Amidst the all-out battle between the two Great Grandmasters.

The third Mystic Ritual emerged above Helios!

A flowing silver light burst forth from the axis of Helios, rapidly spreading, directly above the Eye of Jupiter, rapidly propagating, covering everything, including Gaia’s Ring and fictitious celestial bodies.

Forming a perfect sphere that encompassed the entire Helios, spanning thousands of kilometers!

In the circulation of countless lights, a precise and intricate grid rose from the perfect circle, separating everything inside with precision from the axis at both ends, demarcating boundaries and sections that could not be crossed.

After suppressing all disputes and chaos, it began an unrelenting renovation with its intent.

Perhaps like a resplendent solar chariot running on its track.

The divine might of Helios finally surged at this instant, following that intent, completely altering its form.

Complex divine projections emerged from within.

First, a void light source rose within, transforming into a ring of pure sunlight, with the core of Jupiter and Helios aligned, hanging high on the outside.

Next, the projected form of the world-bearing giant elephant emerged from the void, lifting the heavy Helios, yet still unable to uphold this complex Mystic Ritual.

Thus, within the Eye of Jupiter that could engulf the entire Current Circumstances, a silhouette of a Giant Turtle faintly emerged, supporting the silhouette of that giant elephant.

Thus, freely soaring above the storm.

Even if it were just a void projection, it still carried a terrifying aura that was bone-chilling.

When this decisive Mystic Ritual was established, the silver brilliance that originally engulfed Helios began to collapse inch by inch, downwards, at an astounding speed.

In the end, the revealed appearance was entirely different from the past.

As if it returned to the era of the gods, the formerly scarred Sun Chariot unfolded like a lotus blossom, transforming into a vast, barrierless disk-like giant ship!

Everything transpired in the blink of an eye.

"Wow!"

At this moment, on the edge of the tower, the skeleton hanging there looked up, gazing at the splendid stars in the vacuum, and couldn’t help but clap its little hands.

Expressing heartfelt admiration:

"So cool!"
