My portable grandfather refreshes every week

Number 8 was stunned for a moment. At this moment, through the endless subspace and through the unknown distance of the universe, he looked at the other party and felt that he was about to laugh out loud.

One, a brat who has just become an apostle, a puppet now completely enslaved by him for eternity, and he could even erase the consciousness of this nonsensical fellow with just a wave of his hand.

Where did he get the courage to breathe on himself?

How could there be a race in the world so foolish as to provoke an enemy it cannot possibly defeat?

At this moment, even He, the embodiment of the undead scourge, felt a deep-seated mockery and ridicule.

Then let me show you the biggest lesson the Mist Council has to teach you!

He immediately manipulated the power of eternal enslavement, preparing to directly refine this little thing that had just been transformed into an undead into a lich.

If the eternal enslavement is not yet complete, he may still hesitate, fearing that it is a trap.

But once eternal enslavement is completely imprinted upon it, the little worm has no ability to struggle. This is due to its authority, the power called "immortality," which requires all undead to submit to this supreme being!
Wail all you want, you bug!
Number 8 originally even wanted to cooperate with Number 13. After all, in the current council, he also lacked an ally. Although it was a being completely enslaved by him, he could cooperate with it to develop more worlds. The resources obtained would be split 90/10, and he only needed to take 90%, which would be enough.

But this foolish insect still seems unable to find its place.

The power of eternal enslavement instantly eroded the depths of Xue's soul, seemingly intent on completely obliterating it from the inside out.

However, the next moment, a terrifying void in the universe unfolded behind him.

That was the most powerful natural disaster in the universe, the source of nothingness, and also the source of the universe's expansion...

Its name is, the monster of nothingness!

"This is the moment we've been waiting for!" Xue Luding, completely unconcerned about the vast emptiness of the universe behind him, laughed, "Let's step into nothingness together!"

This statement was clearly ambiguous, but at this moment, the Eighth Apostle, this shadowy monster, showed only terror on his face.

“A…a monster of nothingness!” He was immediately filled with nothing but fear.

If people living in the universe only know the horror of nothingness but are completely unaware of its true power, then he, who has been dwelling in the subspace for many years, has an unparalleled understanding of the power of nothingness.

If the universe is a balloon filled with air, then nothingness is the omnipresent existence outside the universe!

He is not a tangible substance, but an intangible, complete "nothingness"!
Why does the universe continue to expand? Because there is matter inside the universe, and nothingness outside of it, just like a balloon in a vacuum. If the balloon's material is extremely high, then the balloon will expand endlessly in a vacuum.

This is the truth of the universe; the universe is like a balloon that has entered a vacuum.

What would happen if a tiny pinhole appeared in the balloon at this moment?
The answer is that the tiny pinhole will immediately unleash an unparalleled swallowing force, rapidly and powerfully expelling the air inside the balloon into space, causing it to expand and grow until it reaches a critical point...

"boom!"

The balloon exploded!

At this point, the entire universe will completely collapse, becoming a completely irregular space, just like the subspace they are hiding in!
The so-called void of authority is merely a person attached to this vast emptiness of the universe, as if drilling a tiny hole in a balloon called "universe".

This "nothingness" from the outer universe will completely devour their souls, bodies, and everything else.

However, this is on the scale of the entire universe. For the creatures living in this balloon, this vast void in the universe would be the most terrifying natural disaster for any creature in the inner universe.

It can completely turn you into "nothingness," and this is the power of nothingness, which is also the most uncontrollable, irreversible, and unsolvable natural disaster in the entire universe.

The big hole in the universe!
Run! Run!
For a moment, the Eighth Apostle had only this one thought in his mind.

Nothingness, the vast emptiness of the universe...

He instantly understood, and gradually understood everything. The deaths of the twelfth apostle, and even the ninth apostle, might be related to this number 13. He was a traitor in the council, and it was he who brought the void of nothingness to the council.

And none of those who fall into the void survive.

This madman's goal is to drag himself down to hell with him!

"How could I possibly let you succeed!" came the hysterical voice of Number 8.

Nothingness completely enveloped Xue's law. At this moment, he was no longer the undead, but had completely transformed into a monster of nothingness, twisted and disordered.

This monster instantly enveloped Number 8's soul, and everything, whether it was the mark of eternal enslavement or the soul and power he carried as an apostle, was completely devoured in this void's erosion.

In an instant, on what seemed like an infinitely distant horizon on a cosmic scale, Number 8 in subspace began to gasp for breath.

In an instant, He lost one-tenth of His full-fledged soul!
That part of the soul completely merged into Number 13's body, and everything about Number 13 was devoured.

Number 8 needs to divide his soul into countless parts, thus unleashing a cataclysmic disaster of the dead throughout the universe. Therefore, one-tenth of his soul at his peak now accounts for nearly half of his current power.

And all that power was lost for no reason!
Damn, damn!
It was all a conspiracy, a trap set by Number 13 to kill me, and I actually jumped in!

Fortunately, although I suffered great losses, most of my power was not corrupted by the void.

By creating the calamity of the dead through the mark of eternal enslavement, He has spread His clones throughout the universe, and is therefore most skilled at how to divide souls!
So, despite the extreme danger, I survived, at most weakened for a few thousand years. For me, this was an acceptable loss... However...

"Impossible!" He roared hysterically.

"No, no, no! Why is my soul, everything I have, still being poured into other places, into that unknown galaxy on the edge of the Milky Way!" Number 8 was horrified to discover that even though he had severed his soul, the eternal enslavement bestowed upon him by that immortal authority was still constantly drawing away his soul.

"Because being swallowed by nothingness along with you is only the first step in my plan! The plan is far from over." The boy's voice echoed in the subspace.

"How is this possible!" The Eighth Apostle was completely stunned. This was His subspace, His own domain. When did this place become an invasion?
"It wasn't that I invaded your subspace; it was merely that our souls became intertwined." Xue Dinglu smiled, slowly revealing his soul, upon which was clearly inscribed the words "Eternal Slavery!"

"How is this possible! Wasn't the Eternal Slavery also the complete absorption of my severed soul by the void? How is it possible that your soul still has this Eternal Slavery!" The Eighth Apostle's incredulous voice rang out.

"This is the plan I devised after I fully understood your Eternal Slavery. Because I never thought I could kill you in one go, I split myself into two parts. What your Eternal Slavery imprinted on me was not a split-off, but my original body," Xue Dinglu said with a smile.

The Eighth Apostle was stunned. He sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't understand why the eternal enslavement he had prepared was now draining his power and soul.

"You can't completely control the power of immortality, can you?" Xue Dinglu said with a smile.

"So, eternal enslavement is both control over me and control over you. This power is bidirectional; it will affect both me and you, right?" Xue said.

The price of authority comes from the power at the level of the universe's lowest code. Just like his nothingness, it is his trump card, but it will also gradually erode and devour him.

Just like the countless patients in that masquerade ball who used laughter to fight against nothingness, just like even Hassan, one of the strongest beings in the universe, will be completely eroded by nothingness and will soon enter the end.

The power of authority always applies to all entities; there is no situation where it only applies to enemies and not to oneself. Those who wield authority merely use it.

Therefore, this immortal power is both a force that erodes and controls Xue's Law, and it will also, in turn, extract the source of the Eighth Apostle.

"So, what do you want to say!" The Eighth Apostle's tone was no longer arrogant and conceited as before. In that instant, He suddenly had a very bad premonition.

"I have gained support from two world consciousnesses at the same time. As far as they are concerned, as long as even a tiny fragment of my soul remains, they can pull me back from the void to the real world through the ritual of 'Summoning Heroic Spirits.' The only price is that I am further corrupted by the void, while your eternal enslavement is applied to my physical body."

"Still don't you understand? Eighth Apostle, Undying King, from beginning to end, you've been eyeing my interest, but what I've been eyeing is your principal!" Xue Dinglu laughed and immediately said, "Su Su, use 'Heroic Spirit Summoning' on me!"

"Brother Lu, let's go together!" Su Su's (Margaret-like) voice came.

"Huh?!" The Eighth Apostle froze again. A terrifying thought crossed his mind, a method only a madman, a fanatic, the most cruel and despicable monster could conceive of. "Could it be..."

"Congratulations on finally figuring it out. I will allow myself to be swallowed by the void, but because of my arrangements, after being swallowed by the void, I will return through the authority of summoning heroic spirits. When I return, I will still bear your original eternal mark of enslavement. The power and price of immortal authority will force you to split your soul to control me! After I am controlled by the soul you split off, I will be swallowed by the void again."

"We were both swallowed up by the void at the same time! It all comes down to who has a higher resistance to the void, but unfortunately for us, I am the one who is suited to the void!"

Xue Dinglu smiled, and at this point, this unsolvable open conspiracy had been fully revealed.

“I was so close to death that I didn’t even realize it. Eighth Apostle, I have now achieved the unsolvable infinite devouring!” Xue Dinglu laughed, spreading his arms wide. Behind him, a purplish-black crack tore through subspace without warning, and even light began to distort and collapse wherever it passed.

"No...infinite!" The Eighth Apostle was instantly filled with astonishment and disbelief.

At this moment, the ethereal monster flickered wildly between the physical and the void, and eerie sounds surged from all directions. When Xue Dinglu fell backward into it, the Eighth Apostle realized that his soul was being slowly drawn away by some force, flowing towards the monster like melting asphalt.

"So do you understand now? This is the power of authority. We are all wielders of authority, and also... slaves of authority! Just as I cannot escape the erosion of nothingness, you cannot escape the corruption of immortality. When we control authority, we are no longer ourselves, but become a part of authority, becoming the true and eternal slaves of this powerful force!"

Xue Lude spoke again, and the mark of eternal enslavement on his body continued to erupt. This power from the immortal authority began to draw on the source of the Eighth Apostle for the third time!

"How is this possible? How could this be!" The Eighth Apostle desperately resisted the power of the Immortal Authority, but the more he resisted, the greater the Immortal's resistance became, and the more it extracted his soul to become part of the eternal mark of enslavement.

Even the souls He split off from, those Lich Kings, were both His slaves and one of the means by which He resurrected. At this moment, those Lich Kings began to die completely, because their souls were also about to be extracted by the power of immortality!
What happened next?

The moment the mark of eternal enslavement was imprinted on Xue's law...

The ethereal monster expanded again, reappeared, and instantly devoured him. The person became part of "nothingness" within that ethereal monster.

Everything was exactly the same as the previous scene!
"No, damn it! Stop it! Immortal power, I command you to stop!" the Eighth Apostle roared, desperately resisting the erosion of his soul by the immortal authority. He was now so weak that he was on the verge of death.

"The power of authority cannot be revoked. The moment you enslave me with eternal bondage because of your greed, your future death is already sealed!" Xue Dinglu explained. "Even the elder Hassan, even the Venerable King, cannot defy it!"

This is the power of authority. Even the apostles who wield authority can only walk on the path prescribed by authority. If they wish to disobey...

The change of power will lead to an even fiercer counterattack!

"Ughhhhhh!" The power of immortality extracted the soul of the Eighth Apostle for the fourth time, marking Xue Lude's body with the mark of eternal enslavement.

"No, no! Number 13, let's make peace! We have no mortal enmity, we are not in a life-or-death relationship. Let me go! Let me take back the Eternal Slavery Mark, I am willing to give you all my planets, I am willing to give you all my fruits!" The Eighth Apostle roared hysterically.

His soul had been largely devoured by nothingness, and even the memory of why he was born had been swallowed up. All he knew was that he was an apostle and that he had to live!

Live on! Live on, no matter what!
"I don't need it." Xue Dinglu smiled. Behind him, the ethereal monster followed Xue Dinglu, opening its endless void-filled rifts to completely envelop him.

"I will kill all the Apostles, and today is the last day you can breathe freely, Eighth Apostle, Undying King!" (End of Chapter)
