A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 545 The Curtain Falls and the Prologue, Escape and Rebirth

boom!!!

With a roar, the dragon unleashed a punch, its power solidified into a dragon shape, which immediately crashed into the undead plane.

The traces of the dragon soaring through the void originally meandered through the sky with many curves, but the power it unleashed had a feeling of unstoppable progress and a straight path without any bends.

The twelve Titans, refined within the plane of the dead, were originally surging with divine power, and together with the power of the entire plane, they were about to unleash highly condensed necromantic energy.

As a result, once this dragon-shaped fist force broke in, it immediately tore a huge gap in the power framework formed by the twelve Titans.

"What?"

"They actually managed to pinpoint the very structure of my undead plane and destroy it with a single blow?!"

As a seven-star mage, Hydra certainly couldn't create twelve immovable targets to serve as the hub for her magic.

In fact, even when they were preparing the Extinction Ray, the twelve Titans could still move freely at their fastest speed, and there was no fixed formation for their positions.

The so-called power framework refers to the various rules governing the operation of energy inscribed within this plane of the dead.

Just like potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy, kinetic energy can be converted into heat energy, and heat energy will transfer from a region with a higher temperature to a region with a lower temperature, and so on.

These rules governing energy circulation are the prerequisites for the effectiveness of most technological weapons in the universe, and can be considered the foundation of these technological creations.

Within the plane of the dead, there are also some ironclad rules established by the Hydra from the very beginning of its creation.

These rules, different from those of the outside universe, allow the divine power of the twelve Titans to be maximized in this plane.

All energy reactions that defy the laws of the outside world are completed within this plane. When they are launched to attack the outside world, the destruction they create will be far greater than the combined power of the twelve Titans.

However, Duke Attila's punch shattered a portion of the underlying rules of this plane, causing many energy reactions within the plane to become fundamentally chaotic.

The complete realm and martial arts wisdom displayed in this punch were so vast that they could transcend different systems, even making the magician Hydra feel a sense of absurdity...

The feeling of "the higher you look up, the more lofty it becomes"!

Using thunder as the pivot of creation, magnetism to explain yin and yang, to resonate with heaven and earth, and to grasp the essence of reality and illusion.

Debates verify the ultimate nature of all things, and deducing the ways of the world is like experiencing them firsthand, just as one can observe the lines on one's palm.

This is the true wisdom of "Huangji Jingshi".

Otherwise, how could one possibly discern the meticulously designed dimensional rules of Hydra and find the crux of the matter that could easily trigger a chain reaction?

This performance is nothing compared to that of Duke Attila, who was previously suppressed by a single Titan corpse.

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

It was just one punch, just one punch.

The Titan God's Annihilation Ray was cut short due to internal energy chaos and conflict, never having the chance to launch an attack on the enemy.

The immense damage, ironically, had an effect on the undead plane itself.

Thousands upon thousands of explosions occurred throughout the vast, highly toxic swamp.

At this moment, Hydra, as a seven-star high-level mage, fully demonstrated his superb magical skills and abundant wealth.

With a flick of his staff, he instantly unleashed tens of thousands of light particles in all directions.

The swamp was filled with raging waves, and the corpses of all kinds of humans and non-human giant beasts surged out like an overgrown seaweed.

Amidst these corpses, above this vast swamp spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, golden goblets rose into the air, filled with blood-red wine.

A parchment scroll covered in dark writing slowly unfurled, with the devil's name branded at the end.

There is a seemingly sacred crystal ball, shimmering with a bewitching and hazy light. Each prophecy within it will lead people astray and onto a tragic path.

Masks, staffs, chariots, helmets, spears, scales, feathers, beetles, scimitars, codes, stone pillars, cat people... all sorts of bizarre magical artifacts rose from the swamp and descended from the sky.

The main body consisted of 666 large-scale artifacts, supplemented by 6,666 five-star peak magical artifacts, with countless other artifacts of various grades, all echoing the light particles emitted from the Hydra Staff.

These magical artifacts, which already possessed the ability to influence the energy flow in a localized area, were now unified by Hydra into a grand ritual, unleashing a transformative effect.

He didn't have time to repair the fundamental rules of this plane, but he managed to gather all the chaotic energy after the fundamental rules were broken and incorporate it into an exquisite magical structure.

When this undead plane was first created, it was based on half of his own true form, and he refined the corpses of countless enemies as aids to create its initial form.

Afterwards, he used all his assets as a reincarnator and as the logistics minister of the "First Core" to manage this undead plane.

All sorts of magical materials and custom-made necromancy artifacts were poured in as if into a bottomless pit.

His gains were also enormous.

Because of the existence of this undead plane, and with its endless demands and growth, Hydra was able to grow from the initial stage of the seventh star to the advanced stage of the seventh star in just ten years.

However, this kind of growth, which relies heavily on resource accumulation, gradually becomes unwieldy and bloated when it reaches the high level of the seventh star. Therefore, Hydra plans some new changes for its magic system.

One approach involves referencing the dual cultivation methods of the Xuanmen Immortal Path, finding a person whose magical system complements one's own, but who focuses on life energy and has reached the seven-star level, to cultivate with.

This is how the Source of Karen came into Hydra's sights. After careful selection, he took the eldest princess as his disciple and nurtured her with great care, waiting for her to achieve success.

If he simply devours the life energy in the Source of Karen, given the strength of the undead plane he has cultivated, it will simply digest this life energy as a supplement, and there will be no way to solve his problem.

By nurturing the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Karen, it will not only greatly benefit their cultivation when they eventually practice the same magical arts, but it will also give Hydra herself a powerful seven-star assistant within the battle group.

As for the power of the Kingdom of Karen, bringing it under the control of the eldest princess may prove useful in the future, making it a win-win situation.

What a pity, what a pity!

Hydra felt remorse. He shouldn't have forgotten that although the universe is vast, his fellow reincarnators might just find the same meaning and think the same way he did.

Attila, who was originally not very important, actually caused him to capsize in a ditch.

Or, compared to the peerless martial artist who now unleashed the power of the Imperial Supreme Realm, this swamp in Hydra is more like a sewer.

The world-shattering Imperial Divine Fist and the turbulent magnetic field tsunami of space are the true places where dragons roam, the ocean tides!

Duke Attila's fist technique was pushed to its limit, his fighting spirit burning to its peak. The image of the dragon that appeared on his fist faded away, leaving only a huge and agile outline that merged with space and swirled in the vastness.

The big sound is loud, the elephant is invisible.

When the dragon's physical form no longer exists, what remains is pure, deadly power.

It strikes at both Yin and Yang, overturning the real and the unreal. Nothing in the world is more yielding than this, and nothing in the world is more rigid than this!

"Duke Attila" cleaved through the void, shattering the plane of the dead, before turning back to fight his way through the undead, creating holes in the plane of the dead.

The energy emanating from the void gap in the plane of the dead, filled with the radiance of a green peacock, stretched for hundreds or thousands of miles, winding and heavy, slowly drifting through space.

These energies originated from the plane of the dead and should have been controlled by the Hydra. However, after they were released, there was no sign of them being gathered back. Instead, as they drifted and extended, they gradually developed a dragon-scale-like pattern.

It is evident that the "Duke Attila's" fist intent and power have been deeply imprinted on the origin of the Necropolis, beginning to completely change its energy attributes.

Finally, when "Duke Attila" once again broke through the void and appeared, the undead plane seemed unable to bear the burden and exploded.

Large swathes of green, fish-scale-like light clusters were pushed outwards by the internal explosion.

Just like the revolution of a planet or the relative motion of tectonic plates in space, although the actual speed of motion is very fast, because of their enormous size, when observed from a certain distance, they appear to move very slowly.

In the next moment, these seemingly slow but actually rapid large-scale green light clusters all contracted back, like the piecing together and collapsing of continental plates.

In the end, the entire plane of the dead collapsed into a dazzling aurora, disappearing completely at the center of that cross of light.

"This Dream Creator system, capable of elevating your complete realm to this level and maintaining it without regression, could not possibly be a technology developed through normal means."

"Could it be that Lan Daotianwu himself orchestrated this?! Hmph, since he disregarded his status and dignity to scheme against me once, I will surely repay him in the future!"

Hydra's spirit leaped away in the galaxy, his resentful thoughts still echoing within and outside his spirit.

On the main planet of Karen.

In Guan Luoyang's eyes, the phantom of a gold coin flying through space was reflected.

A mere gold coin was enough to carry Hydra and the Great Princess away when the Necropolis was overwhelmed, allowing them to leap across the stars and traverse the Milky Way.

What it contains should be the power from the higher-ups of the "First Core".

He's a high-ranking seven-star warrior with a warband background, so killing him won't be easy. Even this gold coin probably isn't Hydra's last trump card.

That's why Guan Luoyang resorted to some tricks.

After all, his current focus is on finding the fragments of the Dao Fruit. Even if he sees something he doesn't like and wants to help, it's best to shift his focus to avoid unnecessary complications.

What he learned from StarNet channels about the rather fierce competitive relationship among the three emerging giants was something he could put to good use.

"In that case, your matter here can be considered closed."

Guan Luoyang said to Queen Karen, "Attila might still be somewhat conscious. Do you want to go see him?"

Attila's complete realm was able to advance to the high level of the Seven Stars without regressing, and even unleash such powerful fist techniques. This was naturally because when the warlike spirits of the ancient sages from the Source of Karen rushed into his body, Guan Luoyang mixed his own martial will into it.

However, even without Guan Luoyang's martial will mixed in, the burden brought by the Dream Creator alone, as well as the influence of the spirit of those sages, were enough to cause Duke Attila's consciousness to collapse after a long battle.

Attila was gambling with his life by using this latest Dreamer. If he could absorb the life energy of the Source of Karen into his body as he wished, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

However, what entered his body was mainly the spirit of those sages, and the warlike side of that spirit, with little life energy. The higher his realm and the stronger his combat power, the faster his life force would burn out.

"Why would you want to see him?"

Queen Karen closed her eyes briefly. "They've already made choices I didn't want to see, and now, they probably don't want to see me anymore either."

In space, Guan Luoyang's martial arts will had already been withdrawn.

Duke Attila's crystal horn began to shimmer again, and his mind was filled with all sorts of distracting thoughts. The doubts that had been extinguished by his fighting spirit surged back into his heart.

He had all the memories of the past, but he couldn't tell whether he had actually fought that battle.

But he knew very well that his body was nearing its end.

"ah!!"

Duke Attila roared, transforming into a blue streak of light and flying towards the main planet of Karen.

Although his perfect realm has declined, with his current strength, it still won't take him long to fly back to the main planet of Karen.

But his body broke apart sooner than he expected.

The gray cells that made up the bio-armor had turned into hard fragments and peeled off his body, while his own flesh and blood were also turning into something similar.

The excessive operation of the magnetic field had already transformed his physical body into a completely different substance.

While alive, this material structure increases his combat power and facilitates the use of magnetic field rotation. However, once he is near death, this material will automatically collapse.

Duke Attila, like a comet constantly breaking apart, entered the atmosphere.

When he was still more than ten kilometers away from the source of Karen, his body completely collapsed, leaving only layers of spiritual phantoms, like weary birds returning to their nests, falling into the source of Karen.

Queen Karen suddenly made her move, her hand precisely seizing one of the many afterimages that were dragging towards her from among the many overlapping and trailing afterimages, and pulling it in front of her.

Duke Attila's power surpassed that of any of his predecessors, and the spiritual image he left behind had exceptionally clear features.

So when he realized that Queen Karen existed in the Source of Karen in a physical body, the expression on his face became exceptionally vivid.

In that instant, he also saw Guan Luoyang beside him, as if he had understood everything.

"Mother, my sister is a complete traitor, but I am only using external forces."

Duke Attila spoke urgently, "Let me recuperate in the Source of Karen. My memories are still intact, and I can still contribute to the Kingdom of Karen..."

"I can be reborn."

Queen Karen's calm words interrupted Duke Attila's speech.

Even with Duke Attila's composure, upon hearing such words, his entire spiritual phantom trembled violently for a moment, his eyes quivering wildly as he scanned the queen before him and the man beside her. His mind was filled with some incoherent thoughts, and he almost vanished completely.

However, even if he survived this psychological shock, Queen Karen had already tightened her grip, effectively crushing his spirit.

As the illusory image of Duke Attila completely disappeared, Queen Karen looked at her palm, her fingertips gradually clenching her fist.

She pulled the hand behind her back, calmed herself, and said, "The Kingdom of Karen will not forget your help today, sir. I am about to report some things here to the Interstellar Alliance headquarters. I wonder if you have any further suggestions?"

"That's true to some extent."

Guan Luoyang flicked his sleeves and said, "I think both the City Beyond and the First Core are suspected of colluding with the largest pirate group in the interstellar space. Here is some intelligence on the Black Flag Pirates. Please pass it on to the Queen."
