My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 346 The Death of the Black Chrysalis (Bonus Chapter of 9,000 Words, Please Vote)
Dust and sand swirled, a lone moon hung high, and the island beneath the moonlight was illuminated even by the sand and mist.

The mechanical Buddha turned around, bowed its head, and its lampshade-covered eyes reflected the figures of Ghost Bell and Gu Qiye. White steam billowed from the gaps in this colossal object, and the sound of hydraulic pressure was deafening.

The whole world was rumbling.

The Father of Puppets was standing on the shoulder of the Mechanical Buddha, stroking Ajaya's head while looking down at the two people in the desert.

“Interesting…” he murmured, “So Blue Arc and Ghost Bell have this kind of relationship.”

"Dad, can you still stand up?" Gu Qiye bent down and looked up at the blood-soaked Ghost Bell.

"sure……"

Ghost Bell took a deep breath and slowly stood up. He ripped off the remaining half of his breathing mask, revealing his face. His blood-stained eyebrows were almost knitted together. Shards of metal were embedded in the left side of his face, tearing a gash.

Blood trickling down his forehead stained Gu Zhuo'an's eyes red. At this moment, his face was terrifying and cold, like a demon that had just crawled out of a sulfur spring.

Gu Qiye also took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at the mechanical Buddha.

The Buddha statue had just lost an arm to the Ghost Bell, and now its other five arms are raised high, with the palms still in the mudra shape.

A shadow that blotted out the sky fell down, blocking out all the moonlight.

Gu Qiye and Gu Zhuoan stood directly in front of the mechanical Buddha, shrouded in shadow.

At that moment, the shadow giant that had been previously driven back suddenly charged towards the mechanical Buddha from behind! The giant rumbled across the earth, then lunged forward and grabbed the Buddha's two arms.

But at that moment, the mechanical Buddha's metal head suddenly turned 180 degrees backward, and then its mouth suddenly opened, spewing out a burst of flames, accompanied by deafening chanting.

In the blink of an eye, the flames burned the shadow giant's head to ashes.

Immediately afterwards, the Buddha's two palms, positioned below, slammed forward, one above and one below, creating two craters in the shadow giant's body. Then, the shadow giant was propelled a hundred meters away, crashing deeply into the sand.

The giants cannot rise again.

"Let's go." Seizing the moment, Gu Qiye transformed into a beam of lightning and shot straight up along the feet of the mechanical Buddha.

At the same time, Ghost Bell stomped on the ground and leaped up like a cannonball, shooting straight at the Puppet Father.

At this moment, the mechanical Buddha's two hands, which had been used to repel the shadow giant, were still in the process of retracting, while the other three hands repeated the same trick, with fifteen fingers overlapping and covering the shoulders.

Fifteen golden fingers covered the moonlight, once again protecting the Puppet Father and Ajaya. Their faces were quickly obscured by shadows. The Puppet Father tore off the bandages from his face, revealing a playful smile on his fair skin.

But the moment the last palm closed, a bolt of black lightning shot out in front of that palm. Then Gu Qiye raised his fist, which was wrapped in black lightning, twisted his body, used the momentum, and punched the center of the palm.

The huge mechanical hand already had the grooves that Ghost Bell had initially carved with his arm blades, and when it encountered the dark lightning, it naturally cracked open in an instant.

"Bang—!" Gu Qiye's fist pierced through the palm, countless cracks opened in the Buddha's palm, and then the palm turned into countless gears and iron pieces that scattered and fell to the ground like a rainstorm.

At this moment, the mechanical Buddha still has four hands left.

At the same time, on the distant desert sands, the hands of the clock tower spun rapidly, finally stopping at the number "10".

The superpower at this point in time is: "to imbue Ghost Bell's fist with a powerful sonic boom effect."

"Qiye, get out of the way—!" Gu Zhuoan shouted as he rose into the air.

Gu Qiye understood immediately and stomped his foot on the mechanical Buddha's shoulder, creating some distance between it and the other two overlapping hands.

His body flipped backward and landed, shooting more than ten meters away like a jet-black arrow, leaving a trail of arcs of electricity in his wake.

At that very moment, Gu Zhuo'an's right fist was covered by a layer of mercury, and a huge bell sound spread outward from the fist, resounding loudly in the silent world.

"Was it useful?" The voice of the Father of Puppetry came from the overlapping fingers.

Suddenly, a golden palm slammed down, and Gu Zhuo'an's fist struck the palm of the other party.

A violent sonic wave erupted from the fist, rippling outwards and shattering the mechanical Buddha's hand with overwhelming force.

But at the same time, his body was also sent flying dozens of meters away.

Gu Qiye swiftly sprang up from the ground, quickly taking Gu Zhuo'an's place, and once again transformed into lightning, shooting towards the mechanical Buddha. At the same time, his hands were wrapped in a violent lightning bolt, with the five fingers of his left hand pointing at the fingertips of his right hand.

At that moment, the electric light emanating from his fingertips gradually coalesced into a giant ball of lightning.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Qiye blasted a ball of lightning at the mechanical Buddha's chest.

At the same time, his body shot outwards, creating a great distance between himself and the Buddha. His legs sank deep into the sand, and as he retreated, he kicked up a cloud of dust.

Just then, the mechanical Buddha clasped his hands together in front of his chest, covering the lightning ball that was about to explode.

"Boom—!" Dark lightning burst forth from his palm, roaring like a black beast.

The mechanical Buddha's two hands shattered simultaneously, extinguishing the lightning within their palms, which barely preserved the mechanical Buddha's body.

It only had two hands left.

The Father of Puppetry sighed, "You've really pushed me to the limit."

Gu Zhuoan got up from the ground a hundred meters away. The clock tower's hands spun rapidly, clicking to two o'clock. He then activated the supernatural ability he had used once before:

— "Transfer the bell tower holder's body to the position two seconds ago!"
Thus, Gu Zhuo'an's body returned to the front of the mechanical Buddha once again, hovering in mid-air.

The Father of Puppetry had suffered a loss from this trick once, losing a body in the process—without that replacement body, his head would have been crushed by Ghost Bell with his bare hands.

At this moment, he naturally could not fall for the trick again. So the mechanical Buddha raised his last two palms, which, along with a gust of steam and a gale, clamped down on the ghost bell in mid-air. This time, he was determined to crush the ghost bell completely and turn it into a bloody mess!
But at that moment, a golden clock suddenly appeared in Gu Zhuo'an's eyes. The clock spun rapidly, and the flow of time around him suddenly slowed down, even the mechanical Buddha's two hands became incredibly slow.

It was as if he and everything around him no longer belonged to the same layer, with only Gu Zhuo'an's figure tinged with a layer of moonlight-like mercury.

Gu Zhuo'an passed the two slowed-down palms and continued shooting towards the Father of the Puppet.

The mechanical Buddha's four hands were all useless, and Gu Zhuo'an had already climbed over the remaining two. So, for a moment, the Father of Puppets was truly isolated and helpless.

Gu Zhuo understood that the opponent no longer had a second chance to revive using a fake body. As long as the Puppet Father's head was crushed once again, this battle would be over.

However, in that fleeting second, a strange figure suddenly appeared beside the Father of Puppetry. It was a boy dressed in a white straitjacket. The boy was thin, like a bamboo pole that might break in the wind at any moment, and his eyes were empty, a pure white.

The Father of Puppetry raised his hand and touched the top of his head with his right hand, which was covered by a black glove.

The next moment, a light like the polar day burst forth from the pupils of the boy in the straitjacket, followed by the formation of an invisible barrier that blocked the Ghost Bell's path.

Ghost Bell gritted his teeth. No matter how he swung his arm blade forward, he couldn't break through the barrier, not even seeing a crack. He glared at the Puppet Father, his enemy right in front of him, yet the barrier created by the restraint-clad boy kept him out.

Without a doubt, this boy in straitjacket is the second Cataclysmic-level puppet created by the Father of Puppets.

"Dad!" Gu Qiye was taken aback.

The next moment, the mechanical Buddha's head turned 180 degrees, and the compassionate lampshade Buddha eyes looked at the ghost bell.

Its mouth slowly opened, revealing a square opening. As the chanting of Sanskrit rang out, a burst of flames spewed out from it.

In that instant, Gui Zhong kicked off the invisible barrier and shot backward, but his right arm, which was protecting him in front, was still scorched by the oncoming flames.

An entire arm vanished in an instant.

With only one arm remaining, Ghost Bell plummeted from mid-air to the sand like a kite with a broken string.

Gu Qiye transformed into a bolt of lightning and caught Gu Zhuoan with lightning speed. The two of them fell backward together, dust flying everywhere.

Just then, Mulong flapped his wings and descended from the sky, swooping down towards the Father of the Puppet, his longsword thrusting towards him.

With a slight movement of his hand, the boy in the straitjacket pushed Mu Long aside, sending him flying hundreds of meters away. At the same time, his wings were torn open, spraying blood that stained large patches of barren sand red, like a flowing red river.

"Aren't you all very curious about who turned the old Jingmai neighborhood into that mess?"

The Father of Puppetry placed his hands on the shoulders of the boy in the straitjacket from behind, like a kind old father. "He is the murderer. This is the puppet I used back then. I called him 'Starcaller'."

The boy in the straitjacket suddenly looked up at the night sky. A shooting star mark suddenly appeared on his forehead, and the next moment a beam of white light shot up from the mark.

The two people on the sand looked up at the beam of light, like a shooting star, rising into the night sky and reaching the clouds.

“That is…” Gu Zhuo’an said hoarsely.

Gu Qiye stood frozen in place. He still remembered that evening when the world was dyed blood red, a shooting star shot into the sky, turned into countless pillars of light and crashed down, leveling the entire old Jingmai neighborhood.

Someone died.

Many, many people died.

His mother was among those people.

Gu Qiye took a deep breath and closed her eyes. The world seemed to suddenly become very quiet at that moment.

Five years ago in the old Jingmai neighborhood, a beam of light, like a shooting star, shattered a window and illuminated a dimly lit living room.

Su Zimai and Gu Qiye huddled in a corner of the living room when Su Ying rushed over and hugged them tightly, kissing their foreheads passionately.

Finally, Su Ying covered their eyes with her hands.

In the darkness, Gu Qiye felt Su Ying's right hand trembling. Despite his fear, the young boy tried to pry open Su Ying's fingers so he could see his mother's expression.

He saw it. Su Ying's expression at the end. She was pale with fear and covered in cold sweat, but at the very last moment, she lowered her head and hugged him tightly, giving him a smile that was as always.

"Qiye, Xiaomai, Mom loves you..." She whispered close to his ear, and at that moment, a beam of light descended from the sky, and everything, along with the mother's gentle words, was submerged in a world like the midnight sun.

Gu Qiye couldn't open her eyes; she couldn't see or hear anything, but she could feel the figure she was holding tightly disappearing.

Finally, when I reached out, I only grasped emptiness.

When Gu Qiye opened his eyes again, the scene above the sky was reflected in his dark eyes.

The meteor had pierced through the clouds and reached the very top of the island before splitting into thousands of beams that scattered across the island.

Compared to that day five years ago.

same.

“I didn’t want to use this puppet.” The Puppet Master placed his hands on the shoulders of the boy in the straitjacket and tilted his head. “If we do, the entire deserted island will be destroyed.”

“Father…” Gu Qiye lowered his voice.

“I know,” Gu Zhuo’an said in a hoarse voice.

Almost simultaneously, Gu Qiye and Gu Zhuoan sprang up from the ground like two wild beasts, charging forward hysterically!

The former transformed into a raging bolt of lightning, speeding through the air, tearing through the sand and wind, heading straight for the feet of the mechanical Buddha.

The latter flung his cloak high, raised his left arm, and the hands of the clock tower in the distance spun wildly. The hands landed at "12 o'clock," and Gu Zhuo'an's figure rose from the ground, dragging his tattered cloak, shooting out like an arrow!
Time stood still at that moment; all things stopped breathing; and all was utterly silent.

In an instant, Gu Zhuo'an arrived in front of the mechanical Buddha, and his silvery fist slammed into its weakest arm, tearing it apart. Then, he spun in mid-air, and with a flash of cold silver light, he used his arm blade to slash open the mechanical Buddha's other arm.

Two arms snapped, collapsed, and fell in the mercury-silver world.

Gu Zhuo stood motionless on the mechanical Buddha's chest like a wild beast, grabbing the Buddha's arm with his bare hands, roaring to the sky, and then furiously lowering his head, plunging the two severed arms one after the other into the mechanical Buddha's chest!
"boom--!"

Two sharp, thick severed arms, one above the other, pierced straight through the Buddha's beating metal heart, from which countless steam and gears burst forth.

At the moment the heart shattered, the entire mechanical Buddha statue was rapidly heating up, its surface visibly turning red.

Gu Zhuo'an's body plummeted from mid-air, landing limply on the ground. He looked up at the young man whose entire body was enveloped in jet-black lightning, and murmured hoarsely:

"It's up to you... Kiro."

Time resumed its flow, and Gu Qiye became a bolt of lightning, rushing upwards along the mechanical Buddha's body. Electricity surged wildly from his hands, converging into two disordered swords!

As fierce as fire, yet as gentle as water, deep blue and pitch black intertwined and danced on the sword's blade. Arcs of electricity instantly filled Gu Qiye's entire body, illuminating his pupils.

At this moment, he understood the true use of his superpower, combining the two currents within his body—the gentleness of the deep blue current and the ferocity of the pitch-black current.

The moment the two merge, the efficiency of the current utilization reaches its peak. It no longer disperses recklessly outward, but concentrates all its power. In the end, the black current will ignite the blue current.

At that moment, the blue and black lightning suddenly contracted, converging at the tip of the sword.

In the silent world, he ran silently, stepping over the feet of the mechanical Buddha, running up its waist, and crossing its broken chest.

do not know why……

Gu Qiye felt that time seemed to pass very slowly in her eyes...

At this moment, countless meteor beams were falling from the sky, turning the night into day, and even the moonlight lost its color.

Just like that day five years ago.

But at that moment, Gu Qiye could only hold his younger sister, helplessly curled up in the corner of the living room, watching helplessly as the shooting star outside the window got closer and closer to the earth.

He's different now. He's completely different.

For five years, he ran every step of the way, never stopping. He ran faster, even faster than a shooting star falling from the sky—a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times faster. So, he no longer needed to curl up in his mother's arms, nor did he need to watch the most important person in his life die in front of him.

“These past five years…” Gu Qiye ran upwards like a wild beast, staring violently at the face of the Puppet Father.

The bolt of lightning had already reached the mechanical Buddha's shoulder, almost touching the Puppet Father. The Puppet Father still had his hands on the shoulders of the boy in the straitjacket.

In a world that felt like an apocalypse, the two looked into each other's eyes.

"What do you think I've been doing for the past five years—!" Gu Qiye's roar ripped through the momentary silence.

He roared and howled! He thrust forward with a hand blade formed by the five fingers of his right hand. The fused lightning extended forward along his fingertips, as if pointing straight to the end of the world, and finally formed the sharpest spear in the world, piercing the invisible light barrier directly in front of the boy in the straitjacket!

The lightning spear, a mix of deep blue and jet black, violently pounded the barrier, much like the Spear of Gungnir from mythology!
The blue-black arcs of electricity dancing in the air were instantly ignited, burning Gu Qiye's blood vessels along with them! This illuminated his dark pupils and his angry, ferocious expression!

"Bang——!!!"

Almost instantly, the barrier shattered amidst a deafening burst of lightning. The spear pierced the chest of the boy in the straitjacket, then pierced the heart of the Puppet Father, and finally crushed the head of Ajaya, who was sitting on the ground!
All three bodies were pierced simultaneously. Hysteria flashed in the eyes of the Puppet Father. He spat out a mouthful of blood and said hoarsely, "Impossible... This is impossible..."

The black lightning ignited the blue lightning, and the thunderous explosion tore apart and destroyed the Puppet Father and the two puppets.

The blast wave swept outwards, engulfing Gu Qiye and sending her flying backwards uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, not far away, Mutaki, who had been blasted away by the boy in the straitjacket earlier, had already rallied.

Black Chrysalis came to his side and casually used the restraints to pull Mutaki out of the sandpit.

Mu Long looked up, staring blankly at the shooting star rising into the sky, bursting open like fireworks, with thousands of sparks falling straight down to the earth.

In just over ten seconds, the entire island will collapse under the influence of the meteor beams.

Black Chrysalis stared at the mechanical Buddha, its eyes slightly narrowed.

"Something's wrong..."

He suddenly reached out and put his hand on Mu Long's shoulder, leaving a "Thousand Returns Hand" mark on Mu Long's body.

"What is this?" Mu Long asked, looking down at the blue diamond-shaped mark that had appeared on his right wrist.

“You’ll find out soon,” Black Chrysalis said. “Stay here and don’t move an inch.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Hei Yong used the mark that Urushihara Ruri had left on Gu Qiye to pull Gu Qiye, who was flying backwards in mid-air and was already half-paralyzed, back to the ground.

Black Chrysalis uses the third ability of the Thousand Return Hand, which is to "transfer a mark holder to the side of another mark holder".

What he did was, of course, to teleport Gu Qiye to Mu Long's side.

A flash of deep blue light appeared, and the diamond-shaped mark on Gu Qiye's wrist emitted an unprecedented radiance, engulfing his body. The next moment, he instantly appeared hundreds of meters away, landing at Mu Long's feet.

Mu Long was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting the black chrysanthemum to pull this stunt.

“You are…” Gu Qiye opened his eyes and looked at the figure wearing a medieval knight’s helmet through a blur, and said hoarsely.

"Shut up." Mu Long didn't look at him, but said coldly, "I'm not in the mood for revenge right now."

He stared unblinkingly at the back of the black pupa, which was rushing towards the mechanical Buddha without looking back. Its figure was like an incredibly light bird, darting through the dim yellow sand.

The Buddha statue was rapidly heating up. Its originally golden body had been completely replaced by a fiery red, infernal color. Thousands of cracks spread from the Buddha's mouth, and a huge chanting arose in all directions.

It was like a grand missionary event.

"Self-destruction?"

Mu Long narrowed his eyes, finally realizing that something was wrong.

“Father…” Gu Qiye turned his head shakily, staring blankly at the sand pit below the mechanical Buddha. In that sand pit lay a bloodied figure. At this moment, Gu Zhuo’an was missing an arm, covered in blood, with almost no intact parts of his body. Metal fragments were embedded in his face and internal organs.

"Dad—!" Gu Qiye's pupils contracted as he shouted.

In that instant, the mechanical Buddha's body reached an unprecedented temperature peak, becoming as hot as a giant fireball.

Black Chrysalis, on the other hand, concentrated and distributed the weight of his entire body onto each restraint strap. He used the restraint straps to pull on the ruins of the hive, thereby flying in mid-air, his figure like a swift and light bird.

Immediately afterwards, he used the restraints to pull the cracking Buddha statue, leaped upwards, his body passing over the Buddha's red shoulders, and finally landed on the sand in front of the Buddha, kicking up a cloud of sand.

Hei Yong breathed a sigh of relief, bent down, and quickly reached out to touch Gu Zhuoan, leaving a "Thousand Returns Hand" mark on Gu Zhuoan's body.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Zhuo asked weakly, lying sprawled in the sandpit, his voice already hoarse.

"I'm here to save you."

"Can't you see? That thing is about to explode..."

"Yes, that's why I came to save you."

"Don't worry about me, save Qin Ye, get Qin Ye away!"

"Don't worry, I've already rescued him. You're the only one missing."

Gu Zhuo'an paused for a moment, then relaxed completely, his blood-stained chest rising and falling slowly.

"Then get out of here, don't disgust me... Black Chrysalis, hurry up, go..." he said intermittently, his voice already hoarse beyond recognition.

Gu Zhuo raised his heavy eyelids one last time, looking dazedly at the mechanical Buddha that was turning red. He knew he would die here, but he had no regrets.

The man who killed Su Ying is dead. He has avenged himself, and all the pain of the past five years has vanished in this moment, like a river flowing into the sea.

His children have grown up and can live a good life now.

He had no reason to live anymore.

"Aren't you leaving yet... Do you want to die?" Gu Zhuoan weakly closed his eyes.

"You're the one who should get lost... you idiot."

After speaking casually, Black Chrysalis unleashed the third ability of "Thousand Return Hand," which was still "to teleport one marker to the side of another marker."

This time, he delivered the Ghost Bell to Mu Long's side. A deep blue light burst forth from Gu Zhuo'an's wrist, and the diamond-shaped mark shone brightly in the shadows.

Immediately afterwards, the bright light engulfed Gu Zhuo'an's figure. And so, a thousand meters away at Mu Long's feet, there was another mangled, half-paralyzed body.

At this moment, only Black Chrysalis remained beside the Mechanical Buddha.

"Dad... are you alright?" Gu Qiye crawled over from the ground and looked at Gu Zhuoan, who was lying beside him.

"Kino?"

Gu Zhuo'an was stunned for a moment, then murmured hoarsely. He had originally prepared himself to die there, but the next second he suddenly appeared a kilometer away.

“Black… pupa?” He stammered as he raised his head. At that moment, Gu Qiye and Mu Long had already looked away from him and were staring blankly into the distance.

Black Chrysalis stood alone on the barren sand. He suddenly stood up, waving his restraints to try to get away from the mechanical Buddha, and met the eyes of the group from a distance.

"That's... his clone?" Gu Qiye suddenly asked.

“No…” Mu Long was also stunned. He had watched as the main body of the black pupa arrived on the battlefield and took over the battle line from its clone. “The clone of the black pupa has disappeared; that was the main body.”

"What did you say?" Gu Qiye was stunned. He almost wanted to jump up from the ground in an instant, but his legs were already mangled and bloody from the explosion, and the bones were even visible.

He looked down at his dark reddish-black legs, then blankly looked up at the black shadow that was flying at high speed.

"Black Chrysalis—!" At that moment, the howling sandstorm and the booming meteor beams drowned out Gu Qiye's powerless shout.

At that very second, the mechanical Buddha reached its maximum temperature, and a violent wave of steam overflowed from its crimson body, sweeping overwhelmingly toward the back of the black pupa.

"What's going on..." At this moment, Su Wei, who was defending against Hong Yi and the other two in the distance, also retreated a distance.

He heard Gu Qiye's roar, so he turned his head sharply and glanced at the mechanical Buddha that was turning red out of the corner of his eye.

The ruler could measure what would happen two seconds later for Su Wei, so the moment he saw the Buddha, a picture from the future appeared in his mind.

Every inch of the Buddha's body burst open, and amidst the hydraulic roar, flames shot into the sky, sweeping outwards in all directions, instantly covering an area of ​​600 meters and burying the entire desert.

The dark shadow stood alone on the barren sand, and was then swallowed by the flames.

The instant Su Wei saw the future, her pupils suddenly contracted, her face slowly paled, and she murmured hoarsely, "Wen... Yu."

He knew he was too late to get there; what would happen in two seconds would become a reality.

An undeniable reality.

At the same time, the three members of Rainbow Wing were looking up at the sky, where beams of light from the split meteors were falling in large numbers, causing the atmosphere to wail and howl.

"The Father of Puppetry used 'Starcaller' again?" Fan Dongqing asked hoarsely. "He's gone mad! We're all still on the island!"

"We have to get going!" Garfield shouted. "Alexandra and Ninety-Nine are back! They're on the edge of the island. Let's go meet them!"

Ke Qingzheng adjusted his glasses and looked away from the shooting stars overhead. "Let's go."

On the other side, Mu Long, Gu Qiye, and Gu Zhuo'an looked up and stared blankly at the black cocoon a kilometer away.

The mechanical Buddha cracked open at that moment, turning into a devastating burst of fire. The black pupa was swinging along its restraints, trying to escape, but it was too late.

Gu Zhuo knelt in the sandpit, slowly raised his head, looked at the black cocoon, and murmured in a hoarse and shocked voice:
"Black... pupa..."

"Dad, why...why did he help us to this extent?" Gu Qiye's voice was a little hoarse.

In this utterly silent world, the firelight that the mechanical Buddha had transformed into spread outwards, getting closer and closer to that lonely black figure, leaving him not even a second to spare.

Everyone knew that the black pupa couldn't escape, so instead of running, it slowly came to a stop.

With his back to the onrushing flames, his hunched figure was illuminated, and as always, he waved a restraint belt upwards, quietly bidding them farewell.

The flames pushed the steam waves, sweeping over everything and already burning the backs of the black pupae.

His expression remained calm throughout. Gu Qiye suddenly saw that at the last moment, Hei Chang seemed to want to take off the mask on his face, but after hesitating for a while, his hand slowly fell off the mask.

Instead, he silently waved to Gu Qiye.

Gazing at that lonely black figure, a surge of immense sorrow and bitterness welled up in Gu Qiye's nose, spreading throughout his body, and his eyes were illuminated by the firelight.

Until the very last moment, the dark figure still hadn't removed the mask from its face. Gu Qiye no longer even had the right to know who the other person was. Gu Qiye suddenly wanted to shout at the lonely dark figure and ask it, "Who are you? Why are you helping us so desperately... why?"

But he couldn't bring himself to speak.

That moment came too quickly, too suddenly, and too briefly, almost instantaneously. "Boom—!!!" Before his hoarse roar could even escape, a deafening explosion engulfed the entire island.

Immediately afterwards, the lone, dark figure was completely engulfed by the firelight.

"knock off."

At the last second, the black pupa, with its back to the firelight, shrugged and let go of the restraints that had been waving goodbye to them.

Then, a fleeting voice prompt suddenly flashed in his ears.

[Skill activated - "Teleport" (Swap positions with your restraint avatar).]

The next moment, the whole world regained its color. Amidst the deafening roar, countless beams of meteor light continued to fall straight down to the earth, and the mechanical Buddha transformed into a sea of ​​fire that swept out in all directions.

The entire uninhabited island is collapsing.

Su Wei stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the black pupa engulfed by the flames. He had never felt so powerless before. He could clearly see the future that would happen in two seconds, yet he could only watch helplessly as this scene unfolded.

"The meteor is about to fall, and the Rainbow Wings have already escaped. Mr. Su Wei, we have to leave quickly too!" Caesar shouted.

"Hurry up, Mr. Su Wei, what are you daydreaming about?!" Agubaru shouted.

Su Wei, like a puppet with its strings cut, took a few pale steps back before silently lowering her head. The giant ruler unfolded and hurtled towards Gu Zhuoan and Gu Qiye, silently grabbing the father and son and throwing them onto the ruler.

Then the ruler soared into the sky, flying past countless meteors as it sped off towards the edge of the island.

Agubaru transformed his body into a three-meter length, carrying Mutaki and Caesar, and followed behind the giant silver ruler, fleeing together towards the edge of the island.

Caesar raised his head, the wind blowing his long, snow-white hair. He turned and looked around, glancing at the three people on the ruler and then at Mutaki on the shark's back.

After a long period of stunned silence, he suddenly murmured:
"Where are Mr. Mutaki... and Mr. Kurotsuba?"

But no one responded to him. The whole world was so quiet it felt strange, and then it was swallowed up by the roar of falling meteors.
