Chapter 734 - 424: We Are All Slaves to Authority
Number 8 was momentarily stunned. In that instant, through the endless Subspace and the vast distances of the Cosmos, he looked at the other party and almost felt amused to the point of laughter.
A brat who had just become an Apostle, now completely under his Eternal Slavery, a puppet he could erase from existence with a mere gesture.
Where did he get the courage to breathe defiantly in his face?
How could there be a race foolish enough to provoke an undefeatable enemy?
At this moment, even as the embodiment of Undead calamity, it felt a sense of inner mockery and derision.
Then let him witness the greatest lesson from the Mist Council’s predecessors!
In an instant, he manipulated the power of Eternal Slavery, ready to refine this freshly transformed Undead into a Witch Demon.
If the Eternal Slavery wasn’t complete, he might have hesitated, fearing a trap.
But with the Eternal Slavery’s mark firmly imprinted, this little bug was now incapable of any struggle. This was the power from his dominion, named "Immortality." Even among the Undead, all must submit to his supreme authority!
Scream well in despair, insect!
Initially, Number 8 even considered cooperating with Number 13. After all, he lacked an ally within the Parliament. Though completely enslaved, he could still cooperate, developing more worlds and sharing resources—taking ninety percent would suffice.
But this stupid insect seemed unable to recognize its position.
The power of Eternal Slavery instantly invaded the depths of Xue Dili’s soul, seemingly erasing it from within.
However, in the next moment, behind him, the terrifying Cosmic Void suddenly unfolded.
The greatest disaster in the universe, the source of the Void, and also the source of the universe’s expansion...
Its name: the Monster of the Void!
"This is the moment I’ve been waiting for!" Xue Dili said with a smile, completely indifferent to the Cosmic Void behind him. "Let’s step into the Void together!"
Though the words carried ambiguity, in this moment, the expression on the Eighth Apostle, this shadowy creature, was filled with sheer terror.
"The... the Monster of the Void!" His face was now nothing but pure fear.
Those within the Cosmos might know the fear of the Void without truly understanding its power. But residing in Subspace, he was deeply familiar with its force.
If the universe were a balloon full of air, then the Void would be the omnipresent entity outside the universe!
It isn’t something tangible, but formless, an absolute "nothing"!
Why does the universe continue to expand? Because inside it, there’s substance, outside is nothing. Like a balloon reaching a vacuum, if its material is strong enough, it will endlessly expand in a vacuum.
This is the truth of the universe: it is like a balloon in a vacuum.
But if a tiny pinhole appears in the balloon, what happens?
The answer is that pinhole unleashes an unparalleled devouring force, expelling the air from inside the balloon out of the universe and continuously expanding until it reaches a critical point...
"Bang!"
The balloon explodes!
Then, the entire universe would collapse into a space as chaotic and unregulated as their hidden Subspace!
The so-called authority of the Void is merely controlling this Cosmic Void, like a tiny hole in the "balloon" called the universe.
This external "nothingness" will utterly devour their souls, bodies, and everything.
On the scale of the entire cosmos: this Cosmic Void is the ultimate, uncontrollable, irreversible, insoluble calamity feared by any creature within the universe.
Completely transforming them into "nothing"—this is the power of the Void, and it is the most uncontrollable, irreversible, and unsolvable disaster in the universe.
Cosmic Void!
Run! Run!
In an instant, the only thought left in the Eighth Apostle’s mind was to escape.
Void, Cosmic Void...
In a moment, he gradually understood everything. The death of the Twelfth Apostle, even the Ninth Apostle, might all be related to Number 13. He was the traitor within the Parliament, the one who brought the Cosmic Void.
And those who fall into this Cosmic Void, no one has ever survived.
This madman intended to drag him into Hell together!
"How could I let you succeed!" Number 8’s hysterical voice echoed.
The Void completely covered Xue Dili, and at this moment, he was no longer the Undead but had transformed into a twisted and chaotic monster of the Void.
This creature instantly overwhelmed Number 8’s soul. Everything, whether the mark of Eternal Slavery or his Apostle’s soul and power, all were devoured by the Void.
In an instant, at what seemed like an infinite distance on a cosmic scale, Number 8 in Subspace was gasping desperately.
He had suddenly lost one-tenth of his soul’s peak power!
That part of his soul had entirely merged into Number 13’s body, along with everything belonging to Number 13 being devoured.
