Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 688 The Endless Serpent Ring, One Who Harmonizes All Dharmas!
A mist rose all around.

just now.

Good Duck knows why the "future" is an endless fog.

—Because everything from the past has been severed.

The last act of goodwill from the Dharma realm created a door, thereby sealing off the past.

So in its future—

Even it doesn't know what it was like in the past.

What does it mean to have no past?
The good duck raises its head.

Boundless darkness surged within the mist, eventually coalescing into a colossal shadow.

—This is the Dharma realm that has attained consciousness.

"what do you?"

It emitted a high-pitched buzzing sound that reverberated throughout the void.

Good Duck wiped the blood from the corner of its mouth.

—The murderous intent in his voice was almost overflowing.

In this vague and blank future, the Dharma Realm, carrying the malice of slaughtering everything, awaits the settling of the past.

The past is settled.

The key is--

The Dharma realm is capable of creating all skills and phenomena.

It contains all power.

It is invincible.

in nothingness.

A giant, dark hand cradles the duckling, lifts it up, and then holds it.

Just one wrong answer—

That concludes everything for the duck.

Good Duck sighed.

Fighting is impossible; we absolutely cannot fight.

One's own techniques, Dharma forms, and various powers all originate from the Dharma realm.

How could we possibly win?
Now it depends on how to talk to it.

"I am--"

"Good duck spoke up."

Just as it was about to fabricate an origin story, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck it.

and many more.

While the Dharma Realm is indeed an invincible entity, it seems to have little resistance to the power of terms.

It got "Babi" last time!
“I was sent by your father to guide you, after all, you need to know everything that will happen in this era.”

Good duck made up a story.

—Through the previous conversations, I could deeply feel its bewilderment about the times.

So at least this statement didn't backfire!
While the Dharma Realm was still hesitating, Good Duck began to think of a solution.

The term "Future Walker" has evolved into a "Destiny Maker," becoming a profession rather than just a term.

Other terms cannot be used for combat.

fighting……

If you can't win, why fight?
Sudden.

A sharp pain struck.

The dark hand squeezed shut, kneading the duck into a round ball.

—The good duck has been killed!

The voice of the Dharma realm echoed through the mist:
"In this era, only I can exist."

"Don't be so arrogant."

The dark hand flicked its wrist, attempting to send the sphere flying.

But suddenly, black flames shot up from the sphere.

With a series of crackling sounds, the nearly dead duck came back to life and burst into laughter:
"So that's how it is. This is no longer the Age of Entropy Annihilation; this is the future!"

Darkness enveloped the sky and completely covered the duck.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

The duck let out a loud, pained scream.

It roared and then burst into intermittent, maniacal laughter:
"Ha...ha...hahahaha!"

"This is not the Age of Entropy Annihilation!"

It's not the era of entropy extinction.

Then there's no need to worry about entropy solutions.

—Destruction itself cannot be destroyed unless it is reduced to nothingness.

The Dharma realm is isolated from the past era!
It was unaware of this intelligence!

Endless darkness filled the void, transforming into a raging hurricane that struck the duck once more.

The duck let out a miserable scream.

It shattered completely into dust, scattering into wisps of ashes.

But the next second.

Dark flames were born from nothingness and coalesced once more into the shape of a duck.

The duck knelt on the ground, panting heavily, looking extremely weak, but still alive.

"why?"

A tremendous echo reverberated through the void.

The duck panted and said:
"I told you I was sent by your father to teach you a lesson, but you still didn't believe me..."

There was a loud "bang".

A brand new term appears above the duck's head:

"We can't hold on any longer, duck."

"Description: Each destruction amplifies the power of destruction, but the pain doubles."

This entry was so conspicuous, shining brightly in the darkness, that even the Dharma Realm and the ducks could see it clearly.

The duck paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.

"Wait a minute..."

It began to recall its own entries.

Mandala Ouroboros.

The explanation of this entry includes a final paragraph that highlights its significance.

"The reputation required to upgrade an entry is beyond imagination. No one has ever completed so many advancements on a single entry. You are the first."

"—This is your true name in the Dharma Realm, and it also represents the evolution of the entire Dharma Realm."

The duck's eyes lit up.

No wonder the Dharma realm was misled by "Babi," and no wonder it fell into a passive position regarding its entries.

because--

Throughout the endless history, it has been difficult for any living being to even acquire a single entry, let alone upgrade it.

Since acquiring the "vampire child" trait, I've lost count of how many times I've upgraded that trait.

He gained a great reputation through his ability to fight, both through his own continuous battles.

No one can elevate an entry to this level!
The good duck got up, head held high, chest puffed out, and glared at the endless darkness with a cold smile, saying:

"Don't you understand yet?"

"Although you are the strongest in terms of overall strength, I represent the most advanced productivity."

It reached out and grabbed a small silver snake from the void behind it.

"Mandala Ouroboros" was enlightened by "the creation of the void".

It's now SSS-level!
Good Duck held the silver snake high.

That's right.

The body of the Spirit of Destruction, along with the term representing the most advanced productive forces in the Dharma Realm, are gathered here.

One can live forever, and the other can just suppress the Dharma realm.

So it seems——

God's kick was perfect.

No matter who it is, it won't work.

Only one can have the ability to interact with the Dharma realm.

However, it is completely impossible to defeat the Dharma Realm based on just these two points.

This is similar to how humans and sea fish can both swim in the ocean, but no one can conquer the ocean.

in the dark.

The humming sound of the Dharma realm resounded throughout the void:

"You've earned the right to make me take this seriously."

But all darkness rose up, gathering in the high sky and transforming into an even more terrifying force.

—It sensed the threat from the good duck!

This attack was clearly on a completely different level from the previous one!
Seeing this, Good Duck smiled indifferently, placed the silver snake against its chest, and whispered:
"Fusion."

Lines of tiny, glowing text were frantically refreshing in the darkness:

"You use 'Mandala Ouroboros' to begin fusing 'Avatar: Primal Spirit of Destruction' with 'Mandala Ouroboros'."

"'Mandala Ouroboros' is a spirit you inspired, completely loyal to you, and is an entry that you upgraded step by step, therefore your compatibility is perfectly matched."

"Congratulations."

"This fusion has resulted in a transcendent evolution; you and 'Mandala Ouroboros' have merged into a new being:"

"The endless serpent's coil, the one with whom all dharmas are in harmony."

"The head of the Dharma realm".

"Description: You no longer draw upon elements, but can directly allocate, integrate, and enhance all kinds of elements belonging to the Dharma Realm."

"—This is your innate ability."

"—Swallowing the world and connecting its tail, all things return to one."

A series of cracking sounds erupted from Good Duck.

Good Duck's appearance has undergone a complete transformation.

—Its fur stood on end, radiating intense dark flames that formed an infinitely looping ring behind it.

The Dharma Realm is extremely perceptive, and a buzzing sound rang out:

What... happened to you?

Good Duck stared coldly into the darkness, stretched out its wings, and made a victory sign.

"I am no longer an ordinary duck." "Standing before you now is the Duck Saint!"

The words have not yet fallen.

An endless darkness swept in, tentatively lunging towards it.

Surprisingly, the darkness passed right through Good Duck's body, without harming it in the slightest.

Another loud "bang!" and a new entry appeared above Good Duck's head:

"Duck does not avoid."

"Description: You have merged with the Ouroboros and achieved the Dharma Body, which allows you to avoid normal Dharma attacks. Therefore, there is no need to take any evasive action."

silence.

silence.

"Interesting, you seem like someone I should give a good fight."

The voice of the Dharma realm resounded throughout the void.

Good Duck snorted disdainfully, spread its wings, and plunged into the darkness.

Innate ability activated!

All of a sudden.

It is integrated with the Dharma realm.

It took a full seven or eight breaths before it reappeared.

"Well……"

In the void.

The boundless darkness murmured, as if sensing some indescribable change.

Good Duck ignored it, turned around, took a step into the void, and immediately returned to its Dharma form.

At this moment, everything in the nightmare world has returned to normal.

Only Châtelet remains asleep.

Good Duck simply went straight to the Nightmare World.

It landed on the border between the human and undead races, found a rock in front of an abandoned battlefield, and sat down to rest.

After counting the interest.

A streak of black light fell from the sky.

The stream of light condensed directly into a human shape, hovering in mid-air, looking down at the ducklings.

—The Dharma Realm!
"This is the place you chose to die. Yes, with just a thought, I can destroy it completely."

The Dharma Realm said.

Good Duck ignored it, drew the Dark Blade, and plunged it into its own chest.

puff!
Blood splattered.

"I'm dying."

Good Duck looked at it and said expressionlessly.

—The Dharma Realm is invincible.

Therefore, it has never experienced pain.

just now.

It is about to experience the taste of pain.

So how will it make its choice?

Just as Fajie was about to say something, he suddenly swayed and fell from mid-air.

"you you……"

It emitted bursts of black light, its power constantly dissipating in all directions.

In the void.

The screams of countless people continued endlessly.

"recovery."

The Dharma Realm let out a nearly roaring cry.

The powerful magical energy circled around the duck.

The knife in its chest was immediately pulled out.

All injuries have healed.

When the duck recovers, the entire Dharma realm also recovers.

"You've merged your life with mine?"

The Dharma Realm spoke in a deep voice.

“That’s right,” Good Duck said.

“Ridiculous! My life force pervades all laws and is nearly infinite. Even if you were to commit suicide ten thousand times, you would not be able to exhaust my life force,” said the Dharma Realm.

"I know, but I am a being of destruction, and cannot be destroyed."

Good Duck raised its long knife again and said indifferently:

"I can commit suicide ten thousand and one times."

"Even if you keep dying."

“You will taste eternal pain with me until all the realms and powers of the Dharma realm decay and you can no longer recover.”

silence.

silence.

silence.

"What did my father send you here for?" Fajie asked.

"To guide you in life," Good Duck said.

Silence again.

Good Duck could clearly sense that the power of the entire Dharma Realm was rapidly arranging, changing, and strategizing.

finally--

How will the Dharma realm make its choice?
"What can you teach me?" Dharma Realm asked again.

Good Duck raised an eyebrow.

The other party intends to stabilize themselves first and slowly think of a countermeasure!

True.

I have temporarily merged with the other party.

But the opponent's strategies and tactics are endless.

Perhaps it really can find a solution!
But I'm not one to be trifled with either; I'll deal with whatever comes my way.

Upon thinking of this, Good Duck spoke up:

"Let me show you around some of the bigger cities."

“...Alright,” said the Dharma Realm.

The two walked one after the other towards the human kingdom.

suddenly.

They stopped at the same time.

look up.

Look up at the top of the duck's head.

With a "bang," another entry appeared above Good Duck's head.

"Living father".

"Description: Every time you defeat your opponent, your bond with them will deepen until you are inseparable."

"..." Good duck.

"..." Dharma Realm.

“Remember? When I was kicked over here, he already told you that I was your other father,” Good Duck said seriously.

"You? I am the embodiment of endless laws, what makes you think you can be my father?" the Dharma Realm sneered.

"Sigh." Good Duck sighed and continued walking forward.

It really hurts to stab yourself with a knife.

Let me catch my breath for a few minutes.

After a few minutes, I stabbed myself again, letting it feel the pain.

That's right.

It will only take five minutes.

Neither of them spoke again, and they continued walking forward in silence.

Time passes slowly.

I'll be there in five minutes!

Good Duck stopped in its tracks and suddenly raised the Dark Emperor Blade.

The Dharma Realm reacted extremely quickly, and with a wave of its hand, it knocked the Youhuang Blade away with a "clang".

"Humph--"

Just as it was about to say something, it saw Good Duck lying on the ground, constantly making pitiful cries.

Suddenly, the Dharma Realm felt a sharp pain.

It rolled on the ground, screaming incessantly.

It took a full seven or eight breaths.

Having both died once, they struggled to their feet.

"I clearly knocked your knife away."

The Dharma Realm trembled as it spoke.

“Yes,” Good Duck admitted, “but I recorded the life-ending process that would result from ‘stabbing yourself with a knife’ in a way that follows a set of rules.”

"It was played back just now."

"Replay?" The Dharma Realm pondered these two words and immediately understood what the other party meant.

The other party is progressing too fast.

In just a short time, they have learned to discard superficial appearances and directly invoke the laws to achieve the results.

It's amazing.

You need to prepare several methods to try and achieve results on the first try.

Before that——

"...Father, it turns out you are my second father."

The Dharma Realm.

"Yes, being a dad is really tough," Good Duck sighed.

After they finished speaking, they fell silent again.

They continued walking towards the city.
