I love you, brother, but you, the evil god, must fall into good.

And beside that blood-red cross.

Those homeroom teachers, whose vitality had been completely drained, were now extremely weak.

His body was shriveled and his breath was weak, but he was still alive.

And around the cross, the rules of the hypocrites still exist.

Any normal life form that gets close will be repelled.

"Can't get close."

Dongfeng frowned.

"That ritual is still protecting it."

Just then, a figure stepped out.

Crystal Shatterer!

He glanced at the cross, but didn't approach it; he simply reached out his hand.

The next moment, emerald green crystals began to grow wildly from the void.

click!

Click click click!!

Crystals spread out, resembling some kind of dazzling armor.

Coverage extension.

Eventually, a huge emerald green crystalline shell was formed.

This scene.

Like the Diamond Warrior in the anime, it is indestructible, yet full of a vibrant, fluid life.

The Shattered Crystal Walker spoke.

"Divine power, crystal armor forging."

boom!!!

The emerald green crystals instantly enveloped the withered homeroom teachers, protecting them from the cross.

This also prevented the ritual from continuing to extract life.

The pseudo-human rules were fiercely opposed, but they could not stop the spread of the crystals no matter what.

Because what it faces is not a living organism, but a shell made of crystals.

Rule judgment failed.

The next moment, Zhao Yidao moved.

With one step, the person vanished instantly.

hum! ! !

As the blade flashed, the heavens and earth seemed to be sliced ​​in half, revealing the blood-red crosses that connected the entire ceremony.

It was divided in two from the central government.

boom!!!

The cross broke, and the blood-red ritual instantly lost its core.

The fake Heavenly Court in the sky also trembled slightly.

The Hypa Zetton juvenile emitted a low chirp.

"beep……"

It was as if anger had arisen for the first time.

The Earth God seized the opportunity, and the power of the earth erupted once again.

"Let's go! Express delivery!"

The next second, all the rescued homeroom teachers were lifted up by the earth's veins and rushed towards the ground.

Immediately.

Only the members of the Judgment Bureau and the first calamity larva, which had been suppressed by the Heavenly Court, remained in the underground space.

Zhao Yidao gripped his knife.

"alright."

"Now...no one's in the way."

Several people looked up at the same time, staring at those golden eyes.

"Let the hunt for calamity begin!"

boom!!!

The moment the words left his mouth, Zhao Yidao struck first, employing the old-fashioned fighting style, without any fancy pre-attack animations or unnecessary words.

Because everyone knows that what's in front of them is no ordinary calamity.

Even if it's just a juvenile body.

It, or rather, He, is... the first calamity!

hum! !

The long sword was drawn, and a dazzling blade of light instantly cleaved through the dark underground space.

A killing intent so pure it was almost extreme!

"Slay the calamity!"

However, just as the blade was about to fall...

"beep……"

The Hyper Zetton juvenile suddenly raised its head.

For the first time, those yellow eyes looked seriously at the human in front of them.

next moment.

boom!!!

A terrifying burst of black energy erupted instantly, and space seemed to distort for a moment.

Zhao Yidao's blade flashed and stopped abruptly less than a few meters away from it.

It's not that it's blocked, but that it's impossible to get close.

"Spatial abilities?"

Feng Bo's pupils contracted slightly.

"no."

Zhao Yidao tightened his grip on the knife slightly.

"It's the calamity field surrounding it; this thing has already begun to affect reality."

"As expected of... the king of calamities!"

Zhao Yidao gripped his long sword, his gaze fixed on the pitch-black juvenile in front of him.

Instead of immediately launching another attack, he quickly recalled the most basic lessons from the Tribunal.

For the arbiter, the first lesson is never how to slay calamities.

But...

Understand calamity!

The Galactic Federation has an extremely comprehensive system for training Arbitrators.

From basic knowledge, combat training, and psychological preparation, to the analysis of various disaster data, and even all aspects of daily life.

The most important part of it.

That is the level of calamity.

Well known.

Just as extraordinary individuals possess a sequence system, the Galactic Federation has also categorized all calamities based on the overall severity of the damage they cause.

However, as research continues to deepen...

Federal researchers gradually discovered something.

Many powerful calamities possess a unique phenomenon.

field!

Or rather...

Their own domain.

When calamities truly unleash their power, the surrounding environment, rules, and even reality itself will be affected.

It was as if a god from a myth had descended.

Accompanied by strange phenomena.

Accompanied by oppressive force.

Accompanied by fears that mortals cannot resist.

The Federation refers to this phenomenon as the "King's Trait".

As the name suggests.

A calamity possessing this characteristic signifies that it has reached the pinnacle of its species.

These are not ordinary calamities.

Rather... the King of Calamities!

Of course, not all calamities possess this characteristic.

Even among the same race, amidst countless calamities, it is not possible to give birth to a being with the characteristics of a king.

But once it occurs, it signifies a natural disaster, or at least a galactic-level catastrophe.

"Hyper Zetton..."

Zhao Yidao spoke in a low voice.

"Even in its juvenile form, it has already touched upon the king's domain."

Feng Bo and the others looked solemn, naturally understanding what this meant.

This is not simply a difference in strength, but a suppression at the level of life itself.

Someone once made a guess.

Why do these calamity kings possess such special powers?

Why are they able to rise above their own kind?

There has been a saying circulating within the Federation.

perhaps……

This is one of the twelve pillars, and it shows a preference for calamity.

Of course, this is just speculation, and there is no evidence to prove it.

However, many of the adjudicators privately believe that this speculation is not entirely impossible.

after all……

Humans are truly exceptional.

Emerging from an ordinary life-bearing planet, they established the Galactic Federation, spanning across the galaxy, in a very short time.

Countless civilizations have spent tens of thousands of years trying to break free from the constraints of their home planet.

But humanity did it; they ventured into the universe and explored the cosmos.

Master the extraordinary, establish order.

They even began to hunt down those calamities that had once terrified countless civilizations.

If we look at it from the perspective of native inhabitants of other planets...

They may have just broken through the atmosphere and seen the universe for the first time.

then……

They were met head-on by the Galactic Federation's fleet!

Warships that blot out the sky.

A large number of superhumans.

Various incomprehensible technologies and powers.

At that moment, I'm afraid all civilizations would have the same thought.

"never mind."

"Here you go, you can keep this universe!"

So... the Galactic Federation began from the moment it emerged from its ancestral planet.

They were destined to become an anomaly in the universe.

Too strong.

Too fast.

It's way too far beyond what's expected.

And perhaps calamities are another form of balance that the universe provides to human civilization.

Like a dragon plunging into the sea, it needs a true enemy capable of tearing its scales to allow it to continue growing.
