Chapter 1752 Final Chapter: The Shore Crossing [97]: "The Bell Tolls at Midnight".
High in the sky, a pink-haired person holds a flower branch and looks down at the broken "cat box".
He held a piece of paper in his hand and softly read:
"...Yamada Machiichi was supposed to live for a hundred years before passing away peacefully on a church pew. He was then resurrected by the BOSS cat, who was in charge of the World Game, and traveled with the World Game through the vast universe until the end of time."
"Now, he has perished within a year."
"...Mo Yan should see the dawn of a new world. He will become a teacher in the new world, teaching children about the history of the world during the game, and his students will be all over the world."
"Now, he has perished within a year."
"...In this year, he should become a war hero of Rovasa, enjoying flowers and blessings. He will return home and use the prize money to build an orphanage and a flower-lined alley, subsidizing the orphans of many martyrs..."
"Now, he has perished within a year."
"...Yi Song should live for a hundred years, cure tens of thousands of mental patients, and then go to the demon mother goddess Isabel to spend his whole life curing her diseases."
"Now, he has perished within a year."
"Yang Changxu should live to be a hundred years old and enjoy the happiness of family life. His great-grandson will become the one who breaks through the double seams... The essence of the barrier of the Lost Pearl Star is the mirror."
"Now, he has perished within a year."
“Joey…”
“Violette…”
"Isabella..."
"Wang Xingkong..."
“Su Qi…”
“Hui Chi…”
"..."
The pink-haired man was reading aloud when he suddenly stopped and tore the paper in his hand to shreds.
"Heumis thinks he can persuade Su Ming'an to back down by me reciting these words? He's crazy. He knows what kind of madman Su Ming'an is."
"No one can interfere with his choice; in the end, it's up to him to decide."
……
On the ground, someone was pushing a wheelchair, slowly walking over.
The Nest Master sat in a wheelchair, his entire body covered in white cloth. He raised his head, his lips moving, uttering a hoarse voice:
"Si Li, push me forward a little more, I want to see closer."
"Okay." The young man with long purple hair took a few steps forward.
The Nest Master gazed at the vast battlefield and said softly, "When Mr. Licarpos was playing chess with me, he said with certainty that they would definitely defeat the Radiant Mother Goddess and asked me to lend him the Nest's army. I never expected that they would actually succeed."
“You never do business at a loss,” Si Li said. “You must have believed in their success to cooperate with them.”
The nest master gazed into the distance:
"The sky cracked open, and the gods fell."
"With everyone united, we can break free from our fate."
"As a life born in a box, this must be the grandest scene I have ever seen in my life - a group of indomitable beings using their bodies as swords, overturning the lid, and stabbing straight at the god high above."
Si Li chuckled but didn't say anything.
……
"Ding dong!"
[Player (Su Ming'an) has initiated a world-class BOSS battle! All players present can participate and will receive battlefield points.]
[BOSS (Radiant Mother Goddess Klitschneider) HP: 999999]
[Combat Power: 9999+]
[Estimated chances of victory: 46%]
[(The BOSS has been detected to be at an extremely high position and is currently within the "Tower Invitation" duel field, preventing other players from attacking.)]
……
"Shh-!"
The golden dome peeled away like melting sugar shells, and sunlight poured down from the cracks cleaved by the sword's edge, like the blood flowing from a god, staining the ravaged earth with a silent, deep blue.
Everyone saw the notification that the BOSS battle had started, and instantly, a surge of passion and fighting spirit filled their bodies, making them want to charge forward with a roar.
Unfortunately, Klitschko clearly understands the players extremely well; he deliberately positions himself extremely high in the sky, making him impossible for the players to attack, forcing them to temporarily aim at the shattered heavens. Fortunately, they can see his health bar in real time.
High in the sky, only Klitschko and Su Ming'an were there.
“Swish, swish, swish—!”
Su Ming'an felt as if he had plunged into a viscous, dark blue sea. The sounds of blood flowing, heart pounding, and even the subtle friction between bones and muscle fibers became clear.
In the near-absolute cold, the pale flames constructed by divine power became the only thin shell, burning fiercely.
[HP -12819! (Critical Hit! Divine Power Reduction!)]
[HP-21719! (Critical Hit! Annihilation! Death Authority!)]
[HP-18291! (Devour!)]
……
One terrifying number after another was displayed as Su Ming'an wielded the "Holy Sword"—which was now attached to the Sword of Yarman. The sword spirit, resembling Lun Xue, constantly pointed out his weaknesses, delivering almost a critical strike with every strike.
Klitschko primarily focused on defense and rarely launched counterattacks.
Below, the shattered golden sky, like a scar, was embedded in the massive, curved surface of Rovasa. A cascading, eerie blue light washed over the war-torn land.
Above, the Radiant Mother floated, like a small, burning star against the backdrop of the universe.
The altitude was too great; players on the ground couldn't attack the Radiant Mother, not even god-level players like Siber and Aiden. Apart from Su Lin, no one could keep up with Su Ming'an's current height.
"Shh!"
Su Ming'an stretched out his palm and aimed it at Klitsch's figure.
—Yellow Rose Sword + Spatial Vibration + Devouring Authority + Death Authority!
……
[HP-102819! (Critical Hit! Guaranteed Hit! Space! Annihilation! Death! Devour!)]
……
A terrifying number popped up, startling even Su Ming'an himself. In fact, his apparent health points were still 300, unchanged throughout the journey. However, various hidden attack and divine power reductions were still in place. Although his health bar seemed to be teetering on the brink, every drop of blood was incredibly difficult to lose.
Klitschko still did not retaliate.
He was forced to retreat, completely abandoning any attempt to retaliate, and using all his divine power for defense...
Su Ming'an had long since realized His purpose.
—After the three minutes of the "Tower Invitation" have ended, He will use some kind of power. Otherwise, with the "Tower Invitation" in place, no external force can interfere with the duel between the two.
Knowing this, Su Ming'an attacked with extreme ferocity, determined to deplete Her health bar within three minutes. "Judgment," "Gravity Suppression," "Devour," "Annihilation"... he unleashed a barrage of attacks, even less damaging skills like "Give You a Camellia," "Dragon Breath," and "Pierce." The white tentacles around him grew wildly, like suction cups, tightly enveloping the Radiant Mother Goddess, so tightly that he pressed himself against her, turning into a giant white octopus ball.
Klitschko was clever; he knew about Su Ming'an's "devouring" power, so he didn't make his form very large, only the size of a small golden statue.
Even so, Su Ming'an's Yarman Sword, combined with the Holy Sword, still delivered critical hits with every strike.
……
[True Damage: All your sword strikes deal true damage.]
[Fate Severer: You can use this weapon to sever the threads of cause and effect.]
[Emotional Harvesting: The essence of this weapon is a "Life Hard Drive Recycling System." When attacking, you can use this weapon to harvest the emotions of others.]
[Dawn's Heart: Enemies attacked by you will be affected by the emotional resonance you have experienced. The greater the resonance you have experienced, the greater the effect of your attack.]
……
Each sword strike produces various negative effects, some effective and some ineffective. Su Ming'an unleashed a flurry of strikes, channeling the damage to its maximum!
……
[HP-18921! (True Damage! Mental Harassment!)]
[HP-17291! (Critical Hit! Emotional Harassment!)]
[HP-21921! (Critical Hit! Devour!)]
……
The bright red numbers kept popping up, but this did nothing to lessen the sadness in Su Ming'an's heart.
Divine power plummeted, mana points dropped rapidly, and emotional points decreased rapidly... All three values declined simultaneously in her field of vision, resulting in a catastrophic drop in the health bar of the Radiant Mother Goddess.
One minute.
……
[Radiant Mother Goddess's HP: 73%]
……
Two minutes.
……
[Radiant Mother Goddess's HP: 45%]
……
three minutes.
……
[Radiant Mother Goddess's HP: 12%]
……
The moment the barrier of the "Tower Invitation" shattered—
Klitschko's face was blurred and expressionless, yet it seemed as if he were staring at him.
"...You came alone to challenge me, reaching my sky domain, digging your own grave. Now, no one can see you, no one can support you..."
A burst of white light erupted from His body, along with Su Ming'an's tentacles—
The next moment, they found themselves in a vast, blank space.
Most surprisingly... the constantly noisy live stream in the upper right corner suddenly disappeared. This was the first time Su Ming'an had discovered the live stream had vanished without warning, without any apparent reason, and without any signs of mental instability.
The system interface cannot be opened.
The backpack compartments... couldn't be opened. Fortunately, he had been consciously transferring some items into his tentacles.
The system time...cannot be viewed.
The task interface won't open either...
Even the usually cold "ding-dong" sound of the system fell silent.
Su Ming'an quickly realized that Klitsch must have the power of the Dream Lord behind him. Fortunately, the Twin Seams had already exploded, otherwise this battle would probably be even more difficult than it is now.
A blank space, no system, no missions, no live stream... His connection with Zhai Xing seemed to have been abruptly severed, leaving him standing alone.
In an instant, it felt as if I had truly transformed from a "player" into a "higher dimension" wandering outside my homeland.
“Now, your connection with the world game has been severed.” The golden figure looked at him.
"Do you think I'll panic?" Su Ming'an still held his sword.
Admittedly, as the "Number One Player," his strength was granted by the World Game, but this only applied to the period before the tenth instance. He had already consciously mastered his own power to ensure that even if the World Game were suddenly removed, he would not revert to his original form.
What belongs to him will belong to him.
The world game is merely a tool; it cannot steal the power that he has already mastered.
A sword fell.
This time, no numbers appeared.
The numerical display of health points was a feature of the system. Now that the system is gone, he can't see the health points of the Radiant Mother Goddess, or even his own health and mana bars. However, he can roughly sense how much divine power he has left.
None of that mattered. The most important thing was that he felt his sword hadn't struck anything solid; it had just floated past.
“You can’t attack Him.” The sword spirit spoke, and the image of a weary, languid Lun Xue appeared. “He pulled you into His ‘Creation Mode,’ which is equivalent to activating Creative Mode here. How many minutes are left on your Tower Invitation cooldown? Force Him back later, and His domain will be useless.”
“…No,” Su Ming’an said, “He wants to drag this out until he dies.”
His Tower Invitation lasts for three minutes, with a cooldown of five minutes after the battle begins. If he can't kill the Radiant Mother Goddess within three minutes, she can recover her health within the next five minutes. As for how to recover health, the Radiant Mother Goddess has ruled the world for millennia and is well-prepared. It's equivalent to him facing an ancient god with a vast and well-established foundation spanning millennia.
If this drags on, with Him constantly defending and Su Ming'an relentlessly attacking, Su Ming'an's divine power will eventually be exhausted. However, with the "devouring" ability, it could easily turn into a protracted war, where neither side's divine power will be depleted, thus dragging on indefinitely. This would give the Seventh Seat and the Lord of the End of All Things an opportunity to exploit the situation. In the most extreme scenario, it could even drag on until the end of the World Game's one-year period... literally wearing down the players.
“The Creation Mode is a skill of S-level Creators. Do you remember the initial card draw reward that included a ‘three-minute stay in the Time-Space Palace’?” Lun Xue said. “It was referring to this place back then, a blank space… This stingy guy, he even treats something with zero cost as a reward.”
In the vast white space, the figure of the Radiant Mother Goddess had disappeared; she was clearly going to stay.
“He is too adept at utilizing the world rules of Rovasa, essentially playing on home turf. Now your only option is to engage in a creative duel with Him here, just like your duel with Shen Xue in the Disciple Game,” the sword spirit said. “Sigh… considering His extensive experience, it’s really difficult.”
"Who said I wanted to compete with Him in creation?"
"Then what do you want to do?" The sword spirit was a little confused. It couldn't hit the target, and it had cut off the world game system. If it didn't follow the rules here, what else could it do?
Su Ming'an pointed the tip of his sword forward, silently counting down:
"Five, four, three..."
……
"clang--!"
It's midnight.
The clock tower chimed to mark the time.
Above the sky, Aiden, Derrick, Anthony, Eleven, Lin Jiang, Shirley, Meyani, Angel, Angelica, and nine player gods... all aimed in one direction and prepared to attack.
