I'm only three years old, how could it be a world-ending catastrophe?

Boom!

A deep, muffled thud came from the depths of the temple without warning.

Immediately afterwards, the entire magnificent temple, built of special black stone and said to be able to withstand nuclear bombing, began to shake violently!

Above the dome, huge stones fell with a thud, crashing onto the smooth ground with a dull thud.

On the walls, the murals depicting the glorious history of the Zhou family began to show jagged cracks.

"What's going on?!"

"What happened? Was it an earthquake?"

"Impossible! The temple's foundation is connected to the entire Abyss of Nothingness; how could an earthquake possibly occur!"

The fervor on the faces of the Zhou family members vanished instantly, replaced by panic and confusion.

The temple's defenses were impregnable, and it had never made a mistake in hundreds of years.

Why is it shaking so violently for no reason today?

Zhou Yuan's brows furrowed tightly, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

He was about to speak to reassure everyone.

boom!!!

Another, even more terrifying and deafening roar came from the direction of the temple gate.

Everyone turned to look at the same time.

The temple gate, crafted from ten-thousand-year-old obsidian, weighing hundreds of thousands of tons and covered with defensive runes, was...

It exploded with a deafening roar in the face of an irresistible and terrifying force!

Countless stones, like cannonballs, shot towards the interior of the temple.

In an instant, smoke and dust filled the air, and pebbles flew everywhere.

The entire temple seemed to be engulfed in an apocalyptic scene.

The shattering of the temple gates brought more than just a physical impact.

It was a huge psychological shock to everyone in the Zhou family.

That door represents the prestige and heritage of the Zhou family over the past six hundred years.

Now, it's broken.

It was smashed head-on in the most direct and brutal way.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

A short figure walked slowly in from outside the door, backlit by the light.

He patted his round little belly, let out a burp as if no one else was around, and then said in a childish, slightly complaining tone:

"Hiccup... The buffet portions here are way too big, I'm a bit stuffed."

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a series of heavy hammer blows, striking the hearts of everyone in the Zhou family.

When they saw what the person looked like, their minds went completely blank.

It was a little boy who looked to be only about three years old, wearing a white down jacket, with a delicate and beautiful appearance.

It's him!

That outsider whom the Lord of the Abyss called a "little bug"!

What is he doing here?!

Shouldn't he be in the inner city, surrounded and torn to pieces by those S-class races?

At this moment, the pupils of Zhou Yuan and all the members of the Zhou family shrank to the size of pinpoints due to extreme shock.

They stared intently at the small figure, their faces filled with indescribable horror.

Zhou Yuan stretched out his slightly trembling hand, pointed at Jiang Luo who was still rubbing his stomach, and his voice was hoarse.

"You...how did you get here?!"

"Where are the inner city guards? Where are those S-rank races?!"

"You mean those meals?"

Jiang Luo tilted her head, a hint of innocent confusion showing on her naive face.

"The taste is alright, but there aren't many varieties, and it gets a bit greasy after eating a lot."

After saying that, he even pursed his lips in a serious manner, looking rather dissatisfied.

Through his right eye, he could clearly see that the group of people dressed in luxurious silk before him had no trace of calamity about them.

They are... pure human beings.

So it seems...

These guys are the so-called Zhou family.

Upon hearing Jiang Luo's words "food," Zhou Yuan was struck dumb, frozen in place.

Food?

Did he treat those powerful S-class races as mere food?

"You...you ate them all?!"

Zhou Yuan practically spat out those words through clenched teeth, his face turning from white to green, then from green to purple, finally transforming into an endless, raging inferno that seemed to ignite the entire temple.

He could disregard the calamities afflicting the outer city.

Because their quality was already low, they could be easily replaced with a new batch at any time.

But the inner city...

It's the culmination of the Zhou family's efforts over hundreds of years!

But now...

All gone!

It's all gone!!!

What a load of bullshit plan, what talk of ruling the world.

At this moment, Zhou Yuan forgot all about it.

His only thought now was to tear this little beast in front of him to pieces and grind his bones to ashes!

"Little beast!"

"You've completely enraged me!"

Zhou Yuan let out a roar that sounded inhuman as he looked up at the sky, and his hands quickly formed a strange hand seal.

"Come forth, Your Majesty!"

He's going to use his last, and strongest, trump card!

He wanted to tear this little thing apart into its most primordial particles amidst endless pain and despair!

At Zhou Yuan's summons.

Behind the temple, the sealed space began to distort violently.

A massive, indescribably dark shadow slowly emerged from it.

That thing had no fixed form; it seemed to be composed of the purest despair, the deepest darkness, and the most primordial chaos.

Its mere presence caused the entire temple space to groan under its strain, with black spatial rifts constantly appearing and disappearing around it.

Jiang Luo was slightly taken aback.

I thought they had released that idiot dog, [Lord of Nothingness].

But he only realized it when it was fully revealed.

This thing in front of me...

It wasn't that stupid dog at all!

This is definitely not the "King of Nothingness".

After all, the [Lord of Nothingness] was too powerful, and the Zhou family simply couldn't control him.

and so……

They bred a new calamity...

A hopeless king!

Although not as powerful as the [Lord of Nothingness], only at the Super SSS level, it is still enough to rule the entire world!

However, this calamity was completely beyond their control.

Left with no other choice, the Zhou family at the time had to seal it away first.

Now, having just performed the sacrifice on that woman, Zhou Yuan has completely taken control of the [Hopeless Monarch]!

just now……

It's time to let this little beast experience what the majesty of a king truly means!

He pointed at Jiang Luo, who was still standing at the temple entrance with his hands in his pockets, curiously observing the "Hopeless King," and gave the cruelest order to the huge black shadow.

"king!"

"Kill him!"

"Tear him...to shreds!!!"
