He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

Edward, whose ropes had just been loosened, looked at Leon, who resembled a demon in the distance, and pointed at himself in disbelief.

"Oh, me?"

Roland nodded.

"Yes, as the Empire's strategic weapon, now is the time for you to shine."

"Teacher, actually I haven't fully understood that singularity technology yet, so..."

Edward was only halfway through his sentence when Roland immediately stopped him.

"Don't worry about that. You're wearing a directional teleportation necklace. The moment you create that singularity, I'll pull you back. Or do you not trust my skills?"

"Uh... it's not that I don't believe it, but as you know, teacher, my so-called singularity explosion is still in the theoretical stage. Even if I were to try to replicate it by hand now, I'm afraid I might not succeed..."

"Alright, I know what you're thinking. Once it's done, you can graduate directly and become a member of the Royal Alchemists."

"No, no, no, teacher, this isn't about personal gain; it's about the possibility of me dying here..."

"No more talk, let's get started now."

Before Edward could react, Roland activated the instant teleportation spell that Edward knew all too well.

The next second, Edward's perspective changed, and he was standing in front of Leon.

Edward: "?"

Lyon: "?"

Seeing that the other party had not reacted, Edward instantly activated the Alchemy Matrix.

His reaction speed was honed through countless life-or-death crises.

In a mere second, Edward used the alchemical matrix to rotate the surrounding energy, following the method he remembered.

In no time, a strangely shaped point of light appeared in Edward's palm.

Whether it was good luck or bad luck, the strange light he created showed signs of exploding.

"Buzz!"

After the perspective shifts, Edward reappears on the city wall.

Before he could even process what had just happened, he saw that the point of light seemed to have grown larger.

The next moment, all the energy in the surrounding area was subjected to a huge suction force, and all of it concentrated towards that point of light.

Just as Lyon was wondering who that person was, he saw a giant beam of light shoot into the sky and cover the entire sky.

"Bang--!"

"Bang--!"

"Bang--!"

-1023 billion!

-2046 billion!

-4092 billion!

[HP: 239 million/7400 million]

The singularity explosion instantly triggered a series of spatial explosions.

Lyon's health dropped significantly.

Roland frowned as he watched Lyon survive the horrific explosion.

"It seems that demigods are indeed not simple beings. Even such a terrifying explosion could not completely kill them. But this level is enough."

As expected, the moment the explosion ended, Atoris immediately seized the opportunity and rushed towards Lyon.

After bypassing the dense spatial rifts on the scene, Atoris quickly arrived in front of Lyon.

At this moment, Leon's body appeared broken and battered after taking the full damage from the explosion.

The moment he saw Atoris appear, Leon immediately adjusted his body and tried to stand up from the ground.

But Atoris wouldn't give him that chance.

The next second, Atoris gathered all his strength, and the crimson greatsword in his hand burst forth with a dazzling red flash.

"Bang!"

-1002 billion!

The attack landed.

Atoris's crimson greatsword pierced through the opponent's head.

It was different from what I had expected.

After suffering a fatal wound, Leon's body did not immediately dissipate.

In his final moments before dying, Leon, with his face blurred beyond recognition, asked Atori one last question.

"It seems that no matter how hard I try, I can never surpass my father... Sword of the Empire, as his successor, do you also think so...?"

Hearing Lyon's final words, Atorius was finally moved.

"No, Lyon, you don't need to prove anything to your father, nor do you need to surpass him. He has always been there, waiting for your return."

"You mean he's always cared about me... Ha... Even though we're about to die... I'll take that as true..."

As he spoke, the chaotic tentacles around Leon, which had been struggling to survive, instantly lost all life and crashed to the ground.

"By the way, Sword of the Empire, let me tell you something."

"What?"

"Just yesterday, someone claiming to be from the Chaos Cult gave me two Chaos Seeds of a Demigod, saying that if I failed, I could plant them in that Gold-Eating Insect Nest and fight you to the death."

Atoris realized something was wrong.

"So you?"

Seeing Atoris's uneasy expression, Leon finally let out a bitter laugh.

"I have always been selfish. When I was on expeditions, I was used to conquering others. If I encountered a situation where the other party refused to submit, I would activate the final order, which was to destroy everything the other party had."

With that, Leon's body completely vanished.

"..."

As he watched the other person leave, Artoris was filled with complex emotions.

Hatred... nostalgia... or sorrow...

None of them can be considered as such.

"The Chaos Cult, huh? Fine, I'll remember you forever..."

At this moment, she no longer had much time to dwell on all of this.

Seeing the Gold-Eating Insects suddenly appear in the sky, Atoris felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Upon closer inspection, each one was a Chaos Gold-Devouring Insect of demigod level.

The powerful chaotic force enabled each Gold-Eating Insect to break through its original limitations, allowing it to devour everything in its sight, no longer confined to consuming metal.

"Roland said that the singularity explosion his apprentice initiated was based on the principle of concentrating all the energy in the vicinity to create an explosion."

The energy in this area has now been completely drained; to activate it again, it needs to be redirected to another location.

Thinking of this, Atoris looked at the Expeditionary Sword, which was stationed in the distance.

Just then, a familiar voice appeared in her ear.

"You're not putting on some kind of sacrifice act, are you?"

Upon hearing the voice, Atoris immediately looked towards the person who had entered.

"My lord?"

Suddenly, Atoris realized something.

"No, my lord, I did not intend to go there myself..."

"Alright, just based on your dedication to protecting the empire for three hundred years, I can guess your mindset that you would rather sacrifice yourself than sacrifice any of the empire's citizens."

"this……"

At this moment, Xie Bai covered Atoris's mouth.

"Alright, you've worked so hard for this country for so long, it's time for you to rest."

As he spoke, Xie Bai took out the funeral rites again.

"Next, just watch what I do."

After saying that, Atoris saw Xie Bai swing his scythe, raising a magnificent thirteen-layered magic array.

Stepping on the golden light rising from the ground, Xie Bai arrived at the deep black gate in the sky.

"Bang—!"

The moment the black door was pried open, Xie Bai seized the opportunity and swung the Ritual Funeral Sword in his hand.

"Whoosh—!"

-1065.08亿

-1065.08亿

-1065.08亿

-1065.08亿

……

In an instant, a terrifying array of numbers jumped back and forth among the Zerg.

It instantly wiped out every Gold-Eating Insect.

The chaotic power scattered in the air as the Zerg died.

At this moment, the sky seemed to be celebrating Xie Bai's arrival, with one dazzling fireworks display after another filling the entire sky.

At the same time, the long-awaited upgrade notification sound exploded in Xie Bai's ears.
