The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

What would happen if a tiny pinhole appeared in the balloon at this moment?

The answer is that the tiny pinhole will immediately unleash an unparalleled swallowing force, rapidly and powerfully expelling the air inside the balloon into space, causing it to expand and grow until it reaches a critical point...

"boom!"

The balloon exploded!

At this point, the entire universe will completely collapse, becoming a completely irregular space, just like the subspace they are hiding in!

The so-called void of authority is merely a person attached to this vast emptiness of the universe, as if drilling a tiny hole in a balloon called "universe".

This "nothingness" from the outer universe will completely devour their souls, bodies, and everything else.

However, this is on the scale of the entire universe. For the creatures living in this balloon, this vast void in the universe would be the most terrifying natural disaster for any creature in the inner universe.

It can completely turn you into "nothingness," and this is the power of nothingness, which is also the most uncontrollable, irreversible, and unsolvable natural disaster in the entire universe.

The big hole in the universe!

Run! Run!

For a moment, the Eighth Apostle had only this one thought in his mind.

Nothingness, the vast emptiness of the universe...

He instantly understood, and gradually understood everything. The deaths of the twelfth apostle, and even the ninth apostle, might be related to this number 13. He was a traitor in the council, and it was he who brought the void of nothingness to the council.

And none of those who fall into the void survive.

This madman's goal is to drag himself down to hell with him!

"How could I possibly let you succeed!" came the hysterical voice of Number 8.

Nothingness completely enveloped Xue's law. At this moment, he was no longer the undead, but had completely transformed into a monster of nothingness, twisted and disordered.

This monster instantly enveloped Number 8's soul, and everything, whether it was the mark of eternal enslavement or the soul and power he carried as an apostle, was completely devoured in this void's erosion.

In an instant, on what seemed like an infinitely distant horizon on a cosmic scale, Number 8 in subspace began to gasp for breath.

In an instant, He lost one-tenth of His full-fledged soul!

That part of the soul completely merged into Number 13's body, and everything about Number 13 was devoured.

Number 8 needs to divide his soul into countless parts, thus unleashing a cataclysmic disaster of the dead throughout the universe. Therefore, one-tenth of his soul at his peak now accounts for nearly half of his current power.

And all that power was lost for no reason!

Damn it, damn it!

It was all a conspiracy, a trap set by Number 13 to kill me, and I actually jumped in!

Fortunately, although I suffered great losses, most of my power was not corrupted by the void.

By creating the calamity of the dead through the mark of eternal enslavement, He has spread His clones throughout the universe, and is therefore most skilled at how to divide souls!

So, despite the extreme danger, I survived, and at most I'll be weak for a few thousand years. For me, that's an acceptable loss...

however……

"Impossible!" He roared hysterically.

"No, no, no! Why is my soul, everything I have, still being poured into other places, into that unknown galaxy on the edge of the Milky Way!" Number 8 was horrified to discover that even though he had severed his soul, the eternal enslavement bestowed upon him by that immortal authority was still constantly drawing away his soul.

"Because being swallowed by nothingness along with you is only the first step in my plan! The plan is far from over." The boy's voice echoed in the subspace.

"How is this possible!" The Eighth Apostle was completely stunned. This was His subspace, His own domain. When did this place become an invasion?

"It wasn't that I invaded your subspace; it was merely that our souls became intertwined." Xue Dinglu smiled, slowly revealing his soul, upon which was clearly inscribed the words "Eternal Slavery!"

"How is this possible! Wasn't the Eternal Slavery also the complete absorption of my severed soul by the void? How is it possible that your soul still has this Eternal Slavery!" The Eighth Apostle's incredulous voice rang out.

"This is the plan I devised after I fully understood your Eternal Slavery. Because I never thought I could kill you in one go, I split myself into two parts. What your Eternal Slavery imprinted on me was not a split-off, but my original body," Xue Dinglu said with a smile.

The Eighth Apostle was stunned. He sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't understand why the eternal enslavement he had prepared was now draining his power and soul.

"You can't completely control the power of immortality, can you?" Xue Dinglu said with a smile.

"So, eternal enslavement is both control over me and control over you. This power is bidirectional; it will affect both me and you, right?" Xue said.

The price of authority comes from the power at the level of the universe's lowest code. Just like his nothingness, it is his trump card, but it will also gradually erode and devour him.

Just like the countless patients in that masquerade ball who used laughter to fight against nothingness, just like even Hassan, one of the strongest beings in the universe, will be completely eroded by nothingness and will soon enter the end.

The power of authority always applies to all entities; there is no situation where it only applies to enemies and not to oneself. Those who wield authority merely use it.

Therefore, this immortal power is both a force that erodes and controls Xue's Law, and it will also, in turn, extract the source of the Eighth Apostle.

"So, what do you want to say!" The Eighth Apostle's tone was no longer arrogant and conceited as before. In that instant, He suddenly had a very bad premonition.

"I have gained support from two world consciousnesses at the same time. As far as they are concerned, as long as even a tiny fragment of my soul remains, they can pull me back from the void to the real world through the ritual of 'Summoning Heroic Spirits.' The only price is that I am further corrupted by the void, while your eternal enslavement is applied to my physical body."

"Still don't you understand? Eighth Apostle, Undying King, from beginning to end, you've been eyeing my interest, but what I've been eyeing is your principal!" Xue Dinglu laughed and immediately said, "Su Su, use 'Heroic Spirit Summoning' on me!"

"Brother Lu, let's go together!" Su Su's (Margaret-like) voice came.

"Huh?!" The Eighth Apostle froze again. A terrifying thought crossed his mind, a method only a madman, a fanatic, the most cruel and despicable monster could conceive of. "Could it be..."

"Congratulations on finally figuring it out. I will allow myself to be swallowed by the void, but because of my arrangements, after being swallowed by the void, I will return through the authority of summoning heroic spirits. When I return, I will still bear your original eternal mark of enslavement. The power and price of immortal authority will force you to split your soul to control me! After I am controlled by the soul you split off, I will be swallowed by the void again."

"We were both swallowed up by the void at the same time! It all comes down to who has a higher resistance to the void, but unfortunately for us, I am the one who is suited to the void!"

Xue Dinglu smiled, and at this point, this unsolvable open conspiracy had been fully revealed.

“I was so close to death that I didn’t even realize it. Eighth Apostle, I have now achieved the unsolvable infinite devouring!” Xue Dinglu laughed, spreading his arms wide. Behind him, a purplish-black crack tore through subspace without warning, and even light began to distort and collapse wherever it passed.

"No...infinite!" The Eighth Apostle was instantly filled with astonishment and disbelief.

At this moment, the ethereal monster flickered wildly between the physical and the void, and eerie sounds surged from all directions. When Xue Dinglu fell backward into it, the Eighth Apostle realized that his soul was being slowly drawn away by some force, flowing towards the monster like melting asphalt.

"So do you understand now? This is the power of authority. We are all wielders of authority, and also... slaves of authority! Just as I cannot escape the erosion of nothingness, you cannot escape the corruption of immortality. When we control authority, we are no longer ourselves, but become a part of authority, becoming the true and eternal slaves of this powerful force!"

Xue Lude spoke again, and the mark of eternal enslavement on his body continued to erupt. This power from the immortal authority began to draw on the source of the Eighth Apostle for the third time!

"How is this possible? How could this be!" The Eighth Apostle desperately resisted the power of the Immortal Authority, but the more he resisted, the greater the Immortal's resistance became, and the more it extracted his soul to become part of the eternal mark of enslavement.

Even the souls He split off from, those Lich Kings, were both His slaves and one of the means by which He resurrected. At this moment, those Lich Kings began to die completely, because their souls were also about to be extracted by the power of immortality!

What happened next?

The moment the mark of eternal enslavement was imprinted on Xue's law...

The ethereal monster expanded again, reappeared, and instantly devoured him. The person became part of "nothingness" within that ethereal monster.

Everything was exactly the same as the previous scene!

"No, damn it! Stop it! Immortal power, I command you to stop!" the Eighth Apostle roared, desperately resisting the erosion of his soul by the immortal authority. He was now so weak that he was on the verge of death.

"The power of authority cannot be revoked. The moment you enslave me with eternal bondage because of your greed, your future death is already sealed!" Xue Dinglu explained. "Even the elder Hassan, even the Venerable King, cannot defy it!"

This is the power of authority. Even the apostles who wield authority can only walk on the path prescribed by authority. If they wish to disobey...

The change of power will lead to an even fiercer counterattack!

"Ughhhhhh!" The power of immortality extracted the soul of the Eighth Apostle for the fourth time, marking Xue Lude's body with the mark of eternal enslavement.

"No, no! Number 13, let's make peace! We have no mortal enmity, we are not in a life-or-death relationship. Let me go! Let me take back the Eternal Slavery Mark, I am willing to give you all my planets, I am willing to give you all my fruits!" The Eighth Apostle roared hysterically.

His soul had been largely devoured by nothingness, and even the memory of why he was born had been swallowed up. All he knew was that he was an apostle and that he had to live!

Live on! Live on, no matter what!

"I don't need it." Xue Dinglu smiled. Behind him, the ethereal monster followed Xue Dinglu, opening its endless void-filled rifts to completely envelop him.

"I will kill all the apostles, and today is the last day you can breathe freely, Eighth Apostle, Undying King!"

Chapter 429 After killing all the apostles, we'll get married.

"No! You madman, I will be devoured by immortality, but won't you be devoured by nothingness?"

"So what if you have a higher resistance to nothingness than me? Do you think you can survive like this? You will die in the nothingness, and your death will be far more gruesome than mine!"

The Eighth Apostle unleashed his final, hysterical roar.

He truly never imagined that his mere whim of greed would mark him with eternal enslavement, turning him into his own servant, and that this one thought would lead to his death.

It's like you're eating hotpot and singing, and suddenly someone strapped with bombs is about to self-destruct.

This was the first time He had ever seen such a mad monster. The problem was, this mad monster was about to self-destruct!

The Immortal began his final, frantic extraction of his soul, imprinting an eternal mark of enslavement on Xue's mind. All the fragments of his soul that He had scattered throughout the world, and all the Lich Kings, were drained by the Immortal's backlash.

Finally, even His original soul was completely drained by the power of this authority, turning into the mark called "eternal enslavement" in Xue's soul.

This was originally the technique that made Him the most powerful natural disaster in the universe. He, who possessed this authority and technique, should have been the most difficult being to kill in the entire universe, but in the end, He died in such a ridiculous place.

The monster who used the power of immortality to enslave others ultimately died because of the mark he developed.

The ethereal monster, like a tireless butcher, would pierce through all barriers and devour Xue Dinglu no matter where he fled. This time, the twisted and terrifying rift opened up behind him again, and the amorphous, twisted ethereal monster emerged from the rift, opening its huge mouth.

Eerie laughter surged from all directions, and countless double images lingered in the Eighth Apostle's vision, sometimes as distorted humanoid silhouettes, sometimes as void vortexes filled with sharp teeth.

"I have no complaints about stepping into the void with the apostles." Xue Luding said for the last time. He leaned back and fell into the mouth of the void monster. He was falling into this bottomless throat. His skin was peeling off piece by piece like wallpaper. Before falling into the eternal void, he heard the sound of his bones being disintegrated into dust.

The ethereal monster seemed to have eaten nothing at all. Finally, it looked at the entire subspace where the Eighth Apostle resided, and everything here.

The entire sky was replaced by its gaping maw of void, like a starry sky descended to a lower dimension. In the end, everything, including the Eighth Apostle, fell into this void and was completely devoured by the monstrous void.

Whether it is the Eighth Apostle, His soul, or the subspace He dwells in, everything ultimately transforms into nothingness at the end of nothingness.

Then, the ethereal monster seemed to have finally eaten its fill. It retreated to the deepest part of the earth and began to lie dormant again, waiting for the next gluttonous feast.

……

"Brother Law..."

"Come back!"

The fragments of his soul that remained in Su Su's Pure Land were restored. At this moment, Xue Lude, who had returned as a heroic spirit, no longer needed to consider opening the vast void.

Even though his soul still bears the imprint of immortal power, the owner of that power has now completely vanished into nothingness in the vast void, so this masterless authority and "eternal enslavement" have no effect on him.

"It's all over, Susu, we've won!" Xue Luding smiled, and the next moment, Susu, who was gradually withdrawing from Margaret's state, immediately fainted and was held in Xue Luding's arms.

In this plan, Xue Lude will place his split original soul in the Pure Land. Each time he "summons a heroic spirit," Su Su will need to help him complete the remaining parts of his soul before it splits again.

This situation was torture for both Xue's Law and Su Su, but the Eighth Apostle was the first to give in.
