It's unknown how long the killings lasted.

The battle in the sky seemed to be finally drawing to a close.

"Pfft!"

at last.

The long blade pierced through the last, enormous queen insect.

Lu Li drew his long sword, and the mother insect's enormous body crashed to the ground.

He knelt on one knee atop the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, leaning on his long sword and breathing heavily.

A deathly silence fell over the surroundings, with only Lu Li's panting remaining.

The corpses at Lu Li's feet had piled up into a small mountain.

The wreckage of abandoned mechs and the severed limbs of the Zerg were mixed together, forming a throne leading to death.

Then Lu Li slowly stood up, and the blood of the insectoid race slowly dripped from the tip of the long sword in his hand.

Lu Li turned his head slightly, his sharp gaze seemingly meeting that of the audience outside the canopy.

In an instant, the audience got goosebumps.

—This is the true source of the "mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood" scene in the first act of the Sky Curtain.

One man, one sword, annihilated the horde of countless antimatter insects.

The next moment, the live chat exploded.

[Black Tower Solo Fan: One person... one knife... wiped out the entire swarm of insects?!]

[Interstellar Mercenary: Monster... This is a monster! How could someone with such control over their body and willpower be an unknown nobody?!]

[Junior Sister of the Taixu Sword Sect: Is this even possible for a human?! Master, did you see that? This is the true way of the sword... Wait, he's using a saber? Whatever!]

[Luofu Cloud Riders: I counted, at least 23,000 or more, one person, one sword, and no destiny blessing...]

[Want to slack off and play cards: He's still alive! That's great! Lu Li is still alive!]

[Company lackey: But the bugs are all gone, shouldn't we be leaving now?]

[Luo Fu Cloud Rider: And judging from Kafka's expression just now, she seemed to actually feel "fear." It seems that Lu Li... really succeeded?]

[Want to slack off and play cards: Anyway, happy end!]

[Want to slack off and play cards: Although Lu Li looks injured, as long as he's alive, that's all that matters. Please, get Kafka and retreat quickly!]

The audience watched as Lu Li stood quietly atop Insect Mountain, and their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed a little.

In the scene, Kafka, inside the spaceship, also breathed a sigh of relief.

This seems like a good ending.

However, what no one noticed was...

In the scene, Lu Li tightened his grip on the knife and raised his head to gaze quietly in one direction.

The next moment, something unexpected happened.

Deep within Putaro, a terrifying wave suddenly erupted, causing the stars to lose their color.

The entire ruins of the abandoned starport began to defy the laws of gravity and slowly rose into the air.

A pure and extreme pressure of "destruction" instantly enveloped the entire planet.

The audience outside the canopy fell silent at that moment.

Even through the screen, they could feel the suffocating sensation that made their legs go weak.

On the Starry Sky Train.

Walter's pupils constricted sharply upon seeing this, and his tone became grave: "Destruction Envoy..."

True despair has only just begun.

……

Boom—!

A loud bang followed.

The entire helipad, and even the entire wreckage of the planet, began to tremble slightly.

In the distance, a dark red beam of light tore through the sky and shot upwards.

Within the beam of light, a blurry yet enormous humanoid silhouette could be vaguely discerned.

Its oppressive power, like a tangible tsunami, transcended the boundaries of time and space, causing countless beings outside the sky to feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

Some weak-willed audience members even fainted on the spot.

The audience fell silent at that moment, and the live chat went completely silent.

Only two comments appeared on the screen.

[Luo Fu Jing Yuan: This aura... is it a Commander? And a high-ranking Commander of 'Destruction' at that.]

[Space Station Black Tower: He's gone mad, absolutely mad. Even if he could wipe out an entire legion single-handedly, he has no chance against the Commander.]

[Envoys and ordinary beings exist in different dimensions!]

In the celestial display.

Because Lu Li was alright, Kafka's smile froze as she breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't feel "fear".

But her body, every single cell in her body, emitted an instinctive, intense cry of agony under this devastating pressure.

Her calves were trembling uncontrollably, and her teeth were chattering.

This was a terror she had never experienced before, a terror that came from the deepest part of her being.

The giant's figure was finally fully revealed within the pillar of light.

The will to destroy, like a materialized mountain, pressed heavily on the land of Putello.

It was a six-armed creature as large as a mountain, with dark purple star core fire burning on its chest.

Destroyer - Ashes.

It has arrived completely!

The mere aftershocks of Jhin's arrival caused the surrounding metal ruins to completely vaporize.

But I don't know why.

Jin didn't look down at the corpses of the insects, nor did he even glance at Lu Li.

It directly targeted the shuttle parked on the tarmac.

Its destructive instincts drive it to erase all intact creations before it.

next moment.

The enormous hand, accompanied by a whistling wind that tore through space, slammed down towards the spaceship.

Inside the spaceship, Kafka's pupils reflected the ever-growing palm print.

She instinctively gripped the gun, but her body was immobilized by the immense pressure.

"Bang!"

Just as the giant hand was about to touch the energy shield.

A blood-stained white figure rose from the ground, like a shooting star against the current, crashing straight into the sky-covering handprint.

Lu Li gripped the sword with both hands and slashed down fiercely at the giant palm.

"boom--"

The deafening sound of the energy explosion reverberated throughout the heavens and earth.

The hand that covered the sky was deflected by the long sword, and a broad back blocked Kafka's way.

Lu Li's figure was not tall.

But at this moment, it was as if an insurmountable mountain peak had blocked all the terrifying pressure that was enough to crush the stars.

Kafka felt a release in her body, and the suffocating feeling disappeared.

Lu Li turned around, his lips moved slightly, and his expression was gentle.

—Don't be afraid, stand behind me.

Kafka stared blankly through the glass at the man's back outside the door.

"Ah Li..."

Those six words gave her immense peace of mind.

Outside the shuttle.

Lu Li raised the hand holding the knife.

His hands were trembling, and the knife seemed to be wailing.

Also.

Although it was careless just now, that was still a messenger.

It was an existence that he could not contend with at his current level.

but……

Lu Li murmured, "Let's prove ourselves, old buddy."

Lu Li took a deep breath and gripped the knife handle tightly.

The hands and the knife stopped trembling.

Lu Li slowly raised the knife in his hand, the tip of the knife pointing diagonally at the Destruction Commander Jin in front of him.

The wind and sand whipped up the hem of Lu Li's black trench coat, making it flutter loudly.

"The final game..." Lu Li said softly.

It's like a premonition for Kafka, and also like a pronouncement of one's own fate.

"here we go."
