Reincarnated as a bamboo rat, it begins its extreme survival struggle.

Before the energy torrent crashed down, Acorn unfolded the bones in its chest, indicating that Bell could hide inside.

“Mr. Bell, it seems that Acorn will lose consciousness again before he can experience new things. Come into Acorn’s body. Hopefully, the energy barrier Acorn has created can protect you.”

But Bell knew that if this torrent of energy really came down, the energy barrier created by the acorns would not be able to protect him, no matter where he hid.

At that time, whether it's the bamboo forest, Cangxing City, or even the surrounding dangerous areas, all will be devoid of life.

Shaking his head helplessly, Bell stared at the distant bamboo forest, gave a wry smile, and silently muttered to himself:

"Red-haired lady, my survival depends entirely on the items you gave me."

Before the energy fluctuations appeared in the sky, the [Netherworld Ruler] had already activated spontaneously and broken free from Bell's control.

The core iron golem located underground in Cangxing City no longer has the dull, blocky appearance it once did.

Its size continued to expand, and the steel on its body twisted and transformed into a set of ferocious iron armor, from which an extremely ominous and desperate aura emanated.

[Ruler of the Underworld] (Replica)

Type: Mythical Puppet

Level: lv.99 (World Restricted)

Health Points: 9999 (World Limit)

Mental Strength: 9999 (World Limit)

Magic: ? ? ? ? ? ? (World Limit)

Skills: [Annihilation], [Mythical Saving Throw], [Existential Annihilation], [Netherworld Suppression], [Reincarnation's Dead End]

Description: This is a mythical-level puppet created by [True Name Chaos] with reference to the abilities of [Netherworld Ruler]. When fully deployed, the puppet will receive a portion of the power of the [Netherworld Ruler] (the true form). The puppet operates completely autonomously and requires no manual control.

When the red-haired older sister transferred the [Underworld Ruler] (replica) to him, Bell knew that if the puppet was fully deployed, he could easily push through the area where he was located.

According to the data panel, the [Netherworld Ruler] is at level 99, and its various attributes are extremely powerful.

Even under global suppression, its power extends far beyond what is shown on the data panel.

At the time, the red-haired older sister said that the puppet was a replica and its power was only so-so, but for Bell, it was already beyond his comprehension.

The fully unfolded puppet of the Underworld ruler suddenly appeared high in the sky. Without making any move, space itself made way for it, moving this terrifying existence to the high sky.

At this moment, the energy torrents in the sky were at the critical point of bombarding downwards, but the [Lord of the Underworld] paid no attention to them, as if these energy torrents did not exist in front of it at all.

It doesn't really need to worry about it, because the [Mythical-level Saving Handicap] gives it an extremely high damage immunity. These massive energy flows can turn large areas into dead zones, but for the [Lord of the Underworld], this massive energy tide hasn't undergone a qualitative change yet and can't reach the level that can injure it.

For a mythical item like this, attacks that don't break through its defenses are meaningless.

It raised its hand and grabbed at the void, and the vast and dazzling energy flow was drawn by an invisible force, deviating from the predetermined bombardment trajectory and flowing into the [Netherworld Ruler]'s hand, constantly twisting and deforming, but unable to break free.

"Humph!"

With a muffled groan that had a metallic quality, the ruler of the underworld took control of all the energy flows in the sky and completely corrupted and infected these energies of different attributes, transforming them into an aura of despair that was exactly the same as his own.

These dark green, desperate energies twisted and distorted, eventually taking the shape of a heavy hammer held in both hands.

The ruler of the underworld tossed the strange heavy hammer in his hand, expressing his satisfaction with the newly created weapon.

An attack capable of wiping out an entire area is like child's play in front of it; it can be easily dealt with with a wave of its hand.

"Warning! [Wrath of Arsus] is malfunctioning; attacks have failed!"

"An error has occurred! Energy loss is linked! The magic circle is suffering an unknown backlash!"

……

As the ruler of the underworld dealt with these torrents of energy, his terrifying power had already traversed vast distances, forcefully striking the large cluster of activated magic arrays.

In addition to the torrent of energy in the sky, it also drew a great deal of power from these magic circles that served as its source, and poured its own aura of despair into them.

And this is just the beginning.

It would be a joke if an activated mythical artifact dissipated its power and vanished into nothingness before even engaging in battle.

The ruler of the underworld stretched out his arm, his mace pointing towards the location of the large magic array of the Time Research Society, locking it completely in place.

"Destiny! Domination! Fraud!"

As the chanting ended, it was as if an invisible iron curtain of despair descended from around the ruler of the underworld, enveloping the entire area where the Time Sequence Research Association was located.

Chapter 200 Annihilation in the Blink of an Eye

An extremely dense nether energy stretched across the sky, plunging anyone who dared to look directly at it into a state of inescapable chaos.

With the reappearance of [Arsu's Wrath] over the continent after many years, all factions are closely watching the aftermath of the Timeline Research Association's strike and are ready to activate relevant disaster plans and intelligence gathering efforts.

Before the report of the attack from [Arsu's Wrath] could be received, the dazzling energy streams in the sky were gathered by an even stronger force, and a moment later, the power of the underworld descended.

From the border of the Agate Kingdom all the way to the Starry Sky Shipyard in Three-Eyed Turtle Bay, the power of the underworld descended like a curtain from the sky, completely enveloping dozens of areas, large and small.

The cover of the Netherworld power lasted only a moment, arriving quickly and dissipating just as fast.

After the netherworld power that covered the sky dissipated, the area that had been shrouded in the netherworld power turned into a deep pit. Everything in this area disappeared, including rocks and soil, leaving no trace.

The Underworld Ruler Puppet used its exclusive skill, [Reincarnation Abyss], to create an independent space that was difficult for outsiders to interfere with, by using a wisp of power projected from the Underworld Ruler's main body.

Within this space, the ruler of the underworld will receive an upgrade in all attributes, and the restrictions imposed on him by the Diego world will loosen somewhat.

"What happened?!"

"This is an isolated space. What can drag us into an isolated space when we are unable to resist it!"

"My life force is slipping away! Aaaaaah!!!"

……

After the Cycle of Despair was created, numerous building complexes and terrain areas appeared in this space.

It's unclear what method the Underworld Ruler used, but he dragged everything on the entire continent that had some connection with the Timeline Research Society into this domain that belonged solely to him. This included everything from the Society's direct members to its affiliated forces, and even some forces that had deep trade ties with the Society.

Those below level 50 in this cycle of death are losing their life force at an alarming rate. This loss of life force originates from within, and their individual strength is insufficient to stop death from drawing ever closer.

Even beings with an individual level higher than fifty are not having an easy time. Within the exclusive domain of the Underworld Ruler, they are suppressed by all attributes. They are not killed by the extreme environment in a short period of time, but their own strength is constantly declining.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die. We need to quickly kill the instigator of this incident, or blast open a spatial gap so I can get out of here."

A core member of the Time Sequence Research Association gathered the powerful individuals trapped in the cycle of reincarnation and quickly arranged the next steps.

Although he knew that the enemy they were facing must be incredibly strong to have dragged all the powerful members of their Time Sequence Research Society into an unknown space, he had to do something in the current situation to at least try to gain a chance of survival.

In fact, he was already praying in his heart that this change was caused by an extremely powerful tool taking effect, rather than by some terrifying being directly intervening.

Because powerful tools ultimately have limitations in their use, which can be overcome by finding ways to counter them, but they simply cannot withstand the direct attack of a powerful being.

However, when the difference in strength is too great, the outcome is the same whether a prop is used or a powerful person personally intervenes.

A massive metal armor suddenly appeared in the center of the Reincarnation Abyss. The appearance of the Underworld Ruler who entered this place was becoming increasingly similar to the legendary Underworld Ruler. The aura emanating from him made everyone in the Reincarnation Abyss unable to breathe.

Without a word, the powerful beings who could still barely survive in the cycle of reincarnation took action, using their strongest methods to attack the ruler of the underworld.

Anyone can see that this guy is at the center of the cycle of reincarnation, and only by defeating the ruler of the underworld can one be freed from the cycle of reincarnation.

"Click~"

A sound like a giant beast tearing a spider's web came, and the ruler of the underworld moved, breaking all the restraints around it.

Neither energy binding nor physical restrictions can restrain the actions of the Underworld Ruler in the face of [Mythical Exemption].

Among the many restrictive measures, only the Time Sequence Research Society's signature technique, [Single-Target Time Freeze], slightly hindered the Underworld Ruler's progress. However, the Underworld Ruler reacted in a moment and tore apart the time restriction on his body.

The power of time is indeed immense. If this power is studied sufficiently, it can even be effective against the rulers of the underworld. Among the powerful beings who traverse the star realms, there are those who have single-handedly stopped the entire world.

However, these guys trapped in the Samsara Realm are far from being comparable to those powerful figures who have left their legends in the astral plane.

The ruler of the underworld simply swung his long-handled mace forward, and the entire world trembled. A powerful energy surge instantly appeared within the cone-shaped area—the power of destruction.

Most of the powerful mages targeted were killed, with only a few managing to survive.

They scattered and fled, but it was of no use in the cycle of reincarnation controlled by the ruler of the underworld.

With a wave of his hand, countless eerie green ghost claws appeared in the Samsara Abyss. The Netherworld Ruler in the distance exerted his strength and squeezed, and these ghost claws instantly appeared around the fleeing experts, crushing them to pieces.

This is what a mythical item should look like; even a wisp of energy that is casually leaked is a power that legendary items cannot match.

The Chronology Research Society wanted to create a mythical-level item. It had accumulated the foundation of so many generations, consumed the efforts of countless geniuses, and spent countless precious resources. The magic array cluster they created, "Wrath of Arsu," was still some distance from being mythical-level.

In terms of individual life level, to reach the threshold of Mythic level, one must reach level 80, which is the minimum requirement for Mythic level.

The [Netherworld Ruler] (replica) is clearly among the best of the mythical items. As a one-time use item, its power is much stronger than many mythical items of the foundation type.

In just one encounter, all the powerful figures of the Time Sequence Research Society and its affiliated forces perished, and all the territories belonging to the Time Sequence Research Society, as well as a large amount of the Time Sequence Research Society's material reserves, disappeared in the Cycle of Despair.

The Underworld Ruler's forceful dragging, as if digging three feet into the ground, made it difficult for anyone who wanted to find out any valuable information.

The devastating hammer blows also erased the traces remaining in the timeline.

Chapter 201 Where is my home?!

"It's broken?! It's broken! Why is everything broken?!"

The strange, transparent, humanoid creature went berserk in the space where the life clock was stored. As a life form capable of freely moving through the cracks of time, it rarely acted so erratically.

But now, the sight of numerous broken life clocks and various parts scattered everywhere has triggered a state of mental confusion in it.
