Chapter 453 A Brand New Dark Magic: The Death System

Just as this integration reached a stalemate—

An indescribable, majestic will descended upon this place.

The sky, which was originally a scene of chaos and fragmentation, was forcibly "smoothed out" by an invisible force.

Immediately afterwards, a calm yet profound thought, containing both creation and the end, descended:

"The world is being restructured."

Above the sky, the faint phantom of the Star Forging Dragon King slowly extended a dragon claw.

Within the dragon's claw, a faint light flickered. The light seemed tiny, yet it appeared to contain the primordial power that drives galaxies and defines rules.

The faint light shot down, not as an attack, but precisely into the boundary between the struggling world of death and the remnants of the dark dimension.

A miracle happened.

The moment that glimmer of light entered, the laws of the two realms, which had been fiercely clashing and mutually repelling each other, instantly "quieted down" as if commanded by a supreme being!

The death order of the Shinigami world and the dark origin of the Dark Dimension, under the influence of the great power containing "creation" and "harmony", actually gave up their confrontation and began to merge and combine with each other at an incomprehensible speed and with unparalleled smoothness!
When the Dragon King makes a move, any power, regardless of its attributes or nature, can only submit and obey his commands and arrangements.

The barriers to integration were easily breached, and the process was accelerated a thousandfold in an instant!
Kindred's Bleach world is visibly devouring the vast remnants of the Dark Dimension, rapidly transforming into a more magnificent and powerful form!
In the human world, mages who practiced dark magic endured two whole weeks of anxiety and unease.

Fourteen days is enough to cause enough panic for them.

"What should I do?! I major in Shadow magic and minor in Curse magic. I can clearly sense Xingzi and my magical energy is there, but I just can't channel magic. The magic is completely ineffective!"

On the streets of Shanghai, a young mage, clutching his head, crouched by the roadside, on the verge of collapse. His complaints drew countless sighs of empathy from those around him.

"My poison magic is the same. Forget about the mid-level spell 'Poisonous Swamp,' I can't even cast the most basic 'Poisonous Vines'!"

"What on earth is going on? Have the rules of magic changed?"

"Has the association still not given an explanation? Does this mean we dark mages are just... useless?"

Similar conversations are playing out in every corner.

The status of dark magicians plummeted, and the city defense areas and specific demon-slaying missions that were originally their responsibility had to be urgently adjusted due to the failure of their powers, triggering a chain reaction of social disorder and a crisis of trust.

Headquarters of the Chinese Magic Association, Supreme Council Chamber.

This was the fifth emergency joint meeting held in just two weeks, with the long table filled with haggard-looking elders, generals, and top scholars.

"Statistical reports show..."

"All magical systems associated with the energy of the Dark Dimension have become ineffective."

"Only a very few cases that rely on special magical artifacts for storage can still be used a few times, but even that is like water without a source."

A military representative slammed his hand on the table, making the teacups vibrate: "What about the Sirens? Have they made any unusual moves?"

"This is what we're most worried about!"

"Not yet."

"The Siren front is unusually calm; even small-scale harassment has decreased."

"But this calm is all the more unsettling; we cannot let our guard down."

"Orders have been issued to rotate as many dark magic mages as possible off the coastal defenses and replace them with mages of other magic types. The alert level in all cities has been increased. We must not be complacent about external threats because of internal problems!"

"But what is the root of the problem?" A highly respected old scholar pushed up his glasses, his eyes filled with confusion. "We have used all the ancient texts and tried all sorts of methods, but we still cannot find out what exactly happened in the Dark Dimension."

Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the conference room door.

"Report! Urgent news! The western region... that 'world of death' that was slowly expanding and exuding an aura of death... it has vanished!"

"What?!" The entire audience erupted in uproar.

"Confirmed! Just now, the projection of that alternate dimension has completely disappeared, and the land that was previously eroded by it has returned to... normal, no, it has become a state of nothingness that has never been seen before!"

This news left the already overwhelmed association leadership even more confused.

Is there some connection between the disappearance of the world of death and the failure of dark magic?

Another week has passed amidst global anxiety.

In a secluded private training ground in Shanghai.

A middle-aged mage, specializing in curses, whose cultivation has reached a high level.

Unwilling to let his twenty years of hard-earned power vanish into nothingness, he stubbornly entered into meditation every day, repeatedly constructing the cursed star map that he already knew by heart.

Xingzi remained obedient, and the depletion of her mental energy was real, but that familiar curse power still could not descend into reality.

"Why... why won't it work!" Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, his mental energy was almost completely exhausted, and he was filled with frustration.

However, right now!

A sudden change occurred!

In the previously empty air in front of him, a black and white vortex, about the size of a washbasin, slowly rotated and silently appeared.

It did not emanate any known magical energy; it was neither evil nor holy, but rather possessed a profound sense of deathly stillness and nothingness.

The vortex seemed to be whispering, calling out.

It was a dangerous temptation, like an abyss staring at him.

As if possessed, Li Wei trembled and reached out his finger, gently touching the center of the black and white vortex.

No pain.

Only a chilling message instantly flooded his mind!
At the same time, he felt that his originally dormant cursed stardust resonated with the vortex, but its nature underwent a tremendous change!
He got it.

The curse element wasn't awakened; instead... it was transformed!
This is a completely new power attribute that has never appeared in any magical texts before!
This is a completely new kind of dark magic—Death Magic!

The same thing happened to human mages practicing dark magic throughout the continent of Aris the following day.

When someone meditates at home, a black and white vortex quietly appears in their palm;

Some people discovered that their previously ineffective Shadow and Poison Stardust automatically began to transform into this new "Death God" attribute after coming into contact with this vortex aura!
And these people reacted in different ways.

Some mages who craved power or suffered discrimination because of their loss of power were initially shocked, but were drawn to the new power system contained in the vortex.

They began to try to guide and cultivate this type of magic, known as "Death Magic," almost without hesitation.

They discovered that this magic was more sinister than normal dark magic, carrying a sense of "end" that terrified living beings.
