Eternal Night

Chapter 313: I swear by this world
The tyrant knew everything.

Knowing the root that was beyond the limits of mortal imagination, knowing the countless horrific existences, and even knowing more secrets outside the world, this did not weaken or extinguish the tyrant's ambition. This peerless figure who was only a line away from death had an even more powerful torrent of ambition burning in his heart.

He is no longer limited to just one world, nor is he limited to the so-called deification. He wants to become a greater being, he wants to rule all the worlds he can see and know!
The tyrant knew everything through the forbidden code. He even knew the truth about the spiritual sea and the source of the initial changes in this world, the ring.

He sacrificed more lives by slightly changing the ritual spell of revealing the forbidden code. When there were not enough slaves, he even sacrificed the citizens of entire cities, including a large number of low-level superhumans who he thought were worthless. In the end, it was almost all superhumans, and... the entire world!
With the help of this immense power, he poured his will into the sea of ​​spirituality and merged with the ring, which almost killed him. Although in terms of life, he was actually dead at the moment of sacrifice, his personal spirit and soul did retain some independence. When mixed with the ring, his self-awareness and soul were impacted and almost annihilated, leaving only his ambition and evil.

The world continues to evolve, and time continues to move forward, one era, two eras, three eras... At a certain moment, when that era ends, the colorful evolution of the world suddenly stops, and the end giant appears.

That is a mixture of the tyrant's ambition and the new will of evil, a small half of the world distorted by the ring...

The tyrant was defeated, won, died, and lived again. From then on, there was no more tyrant, but there was one more End Titan. The so-called End Titan is a part of this world, which is the process of activation, life, and personification of the ring.

Ring, it must continue to erode and transform this world, turning the entire world and all life within it into nutrients for its growth, allowing it to be completely formed, and then... evolve towards the root of its source!

Therefore, the End Titan is actually the world itself, or at least a part of the world. So when the End Titan wakes up from the slumber of the cycle of eras, those who know of the existence of the End Titan and have read the forbidden book will be transformed and distorted by it. At the same time, Wu Xianxiao will also be attacked by natural forces. The reason is very simple. The End Titan is the world itself!

It cannot be killed, it cannot be destroyed, it cannot even be resisted, because the life within the world cannot resist the world itself.

Faced with the End Titan, countless mortals, extraordinary beings, and gods tried their best but still could not make any impact on it. Under the influence of the End Titan, the dead lives would not really die, but rather they were as if being swallowed and chewed, with their essence being constantly extracted and digested, and then the undigested parts were put into the next era. The End Titan used the power of the ring to begin to distort the world.

What is digested is not just life, but also the world itself, which contains a large number of root rules. The ambition of the End Giant is incredibly huge. It not only wants to restore the essence of the ring, but also desires to become the next root. This world with a lot of root information is also a target that it attempts to swallow.

Although it is extremely difficult to completely digest all of this, the plan of the End Giant is to digest a little bit in each era, accumulate little by little, and eventually it can completely transform everything in the entire world into its possession!
But... when Tamaki became the End Titan, when Tamaki, who should not have had any intelligence, gained intelligence, something that came to this world along with the origin awakened...

"Yes, it's me."

A voice appeared beside Wu Xianxian. No shape could be seen, but there was a voice.

"I am not a life of this world, but a source that first descended into this world. The name of that source has been completely lost, and I can't even pronounce it. You can call it the Ring of Time and Space, the Ring of Perfection, the Ring of Distortion... All are fine."

"...In the last battle, I had already perished, completely destroyed, with my soul annihilated. It was impossible for me to be revived, but I was revived in this world for this inexplicable reason. To be honest, I am very tired. Most of my past memories have been lost. Only fatigue and loss remain. I am as tired as an 800-year-old man. This life should have been my leisure time after retirement, but I met such a terrible and ambitious person..."

The man's voice continued, and new changes occurred in front of Wu Xianxiao.

A tiny bit of essence in the ring turned into a new life that was born into this world. It was ignorant at first, then grew up, and slowly, its lost memories began to return. He had relatives, partners, lovers, and even children in this world. He let go of all the past and enjoyed everything in this world like a mortal. Although he was almost immortal even without cultivation and possessed unparalleled strength, he really immersed himself in the mortal city life and lived quietly.

But this ordinary life was broken by the giant of the end. When the giant of the end came, the man had nothing to protect, and everything he cherished was gone.

In the next era, the man revived again. He had the essence of the ring, so he would not be swallowed up and digested by the final reincarnation. So he remembered everything from the previous era. He began to search for everything he cherished, his relatives, friends, lovers, and children. Relying on his strength and the essence of the ring, he found them, but they were no longer themselves...

At that moment, the man was heartbroken, and the courage hidden by his peaceful and comfortable life appeared in him again.

The man began to walk on the earth. He treated every life with sincerity, searched for every extraordinary path, made friends with all comrades who sensed the final reincarnation, and told everyone about the existence of the Doomsday Giant. He even relied on the essence of his ring to record the forbidden code in text and distributed it to everyone.

In that era, almost all the powerful extraordinary people united together, the power of all times gathered into one, and people faced the End Titan with one mind, and then... inevitably failed.

Because they cannot truly destroy the Apocalypse Titan, just as they cannot break this world. To put it bluntly, they cannot even break the Apocalypse Titan's skin.

That era came to an end once again.

When the new era appeared, the man revived again, and then he keenly realized that the extraordinary level of the whole world had dropped a level, and the strength of the extraordinary people had become weaker. At the same time, the lives revived in the new era became less spiritual and their spirits became more unstable. The whole world was indeed heading towards its end.

The man realized the nature of the End Titan and also realized why he could not defeat the End Titan. He did not give up, but fell into deep thought.

In that era, he wandered among the wise men of different times, talked with them, studied with them, pondered with them, and then...

He suddenly had a great idea.

"That day, he bowed to the green mountains, faced the sea, and prayed to the heavens."

"Qingshan said, give me your legs."

“The sea said, Give me your arms.”

"Heaven said, give me your body."

"He laughed and said, 'Take it, take it. I'll give it all to you.'" "The green mountains gave him a faith as unshakable as a mountain."

"The sea gave him a heart as big as the sea that could accommodate everything."

"Heaven gave him a vision as high and long as the sky."

"That day, he swore by this heaven and earth."

The man disassembled his essence and integrated it into this world, becoming another ring essence to compete with the End Titan for the share of this world. The thing born from this ring is the Demon City, which also distorts time and space, life and everything. All eras can be connected to the Demon City, and the life that enters the Demon City may be transformed into a "monster", a commander, and the Demon City Lord. At the same time, the tomb area of ​​the Demon City can also collect past information, precipitate and accumulate it, and even the deepest demon world is benchmarked against the spiritual sea...

"There's nothing I can do. If you can't beat them, just join them. There's no shame in that, right?"

The man's voice rang out again, but Wu Xianxiao didn't think it was a joke, or a self-mockery...

Because in Wu Xianxiao's visual perception at this moment, he really saw everything.

That is not an achievement that can be achieved by simply reciting a spell, or performing a magic ritual, or dying painfully. Castlevania is not something that is so easily created. It is a self-decomposition that lasts for tens of thousands of years or even longer, and the tremendous pain of integrating one's own essence into this world bit by bit is a million times more painful than being cut into pieces.

He made a vow to this world and all the people in this world to give back his bones to his father and his flesh to his mother, returning everything he had to this world and all the people in this world.

"...Give me your lives, once, twice, three times... countless times of death and reincarnation!"

"When the moment comes to defeat the End Titan, I will ride the world to chop off his head! This will serve as a memorial to all the lives that have resisted this tyranny!"

"Just like the oath I made to this world right now!"

"I am determined... not to change!"

The mountains, the sea, and the sky accepted his legs, arms, and body, and all living things were with his soul...

The war between Castlevania and the Last Titan, a war for the essence of this world, has been going on from that moment to now.

The room, furniture, and man appeared in front of Wu Xianxiao again.

The man waved his hand, and everything disappeared, leaving only nothingness. His body began to swell and turned into a hazy giant, about ten meters tall. In the haze there were mountains, rivers, the sea, the sky, and all things in nature. The giant spoke in a voice like thunder.

"Now you know why I just tested whether you can destroy the cup?"

“That’s part of the world.”

"Those who cannot break through the world's defenses are not qualified to challenge the Titan of the End."

"Now there is only one final test left. Can you defeat the other two-thirds with one-third of the world? Unfortunately, the giant at the end has already devoured two-thirds of this world. Even if I have absorbed the essence of many extraterrestrial lives by pulling them from the demon world, I still only have one-third of the world's total volume."

"So... defeat this giant. He is only ten times as powerful as you. Defeat him and prove that you are qualified to carry the entire world on your shoulders and defeat the giant at the end of the world!"

Wu Xianxiao stood there silently. Although he took the Heroic Spirit Crushing Blade in his hand, he did not attack immediately. He just looked up at the giant and said after a while: "This is the last remnant of your will. Once I break this giant... you will die."

"I am already dead."

After the giant said this, he laughed inexplicably, then turned serious and said: "This joke is not funny at all, but I still have to say that I am dead, and now all that is left is a vow..."

"A vow made to the world and to all living beings."

That day... he swore by this heaven and earth.

Wu Xianxiao closed his eyes, opened his eyes, and clasped his hands together.

"Wu Xianxiao, I've seen you!"

Raise the knife and cut upwards.
