I'm just an ordinary person passing by.

The hand shrouded in black mist was aimed at him once again.

A terrifying suction force appeared... like a giant vortex swallowing everything around it, and a feeling as if space itself was imprisoned came fiercely from behind.

My body... under this force... began to retreat little by little?

What kind of ability is this?

Bai Mu was somewhat surprised, but still did not give up the struggle.

He moved with all his might, mobilizing every ounce of power within his body to withstand the attack.

But... I can't break free?

Why? Even with all my might, I could only hold my own against this force, unable to break free completely? What... what is this force?!

Why can't I break free?!

No... that's not the worst of it!

His clear, black-and-white gaze turned backward, and Bai Mu saw danger... In the palm of that hand, powerful enough to pull him over, lay a ball of energy... terrifying energy powerful enough to annihilate the universe... even the greater universe!

The mastermind behind the scenes finally stopped playing games with him.

—Is death coming to greet him?

"Am I going to die...am I going to die here?"

Fear spread through Bai Mu's heart. Bai Mu, who had always believed that he could survive, finally sensed the danger of death.

He seemed to foresee the scene where he would die here.

He struggled with all his might, desperately trying to survive, but no matter how much he resisted, the final outcome would not change.

The mastermind stood silently in the sky, terrifying spiritual power gathering in the center of their palm. Though indistinct, the calm and indifferent aura emanating from their power seemed to say... it's all over...

It's over...it's all over...

So... is this the end of it all?

Fear began to spread in my heart... My body started to tremble uncontrollably... Should I just accept my fate?

All your desperate struggles are nothing in the eyes of the mastermind behind the scenes, right?

As expected, the gap between himself and the mastermind was too great; victory was impossible...

I've already pushed myself to the limit...

—No, it can't end, I don't want it to end... It shouldn't be like this... It shouldn't be like this!!!

How could I think like that?!

The battle is not over yet, and I have not been completely defeated.

Get moving! Get moving!

Get moving! White curtain!!!

Bai Mu struggled desperately and resisted relentlessly, but no matter how much he struggled and resisted, he could not overcome the disaster before him...

—In his slightly ferocious gaze, the terrifying attack descended...

Just as a hunter sets his sights on his prey, just as darkness dispels light, this terrifying attack brutally locked onto him.

His body stiffened without warning, as if a firefly's light had met the sun's rays—terrifying, intensely hot, a blaze powerful enough to incinerate and destroy everything, engulfing his consciousness...

Before he could do anything, crimson flames appeared before him without warning.

His body was engulfed in flames!

There was no fierce battle, no terrifying battle; it was as easy and simple as lighting paper with fire.

The gray mist was swallowed by the flames, and everyone who was fighting looked up, staring blankly at the flames in the sky, as if they were witnessing a newly emerged universe.

They couldn't see what was happening up there, or how the battle was going.

But... the trembling space, the shaking storm, and the intense heat emanating from that unknown space made them realize something involuntarily.

—The White Curtain... Defeated!!!

Both those on this side of the universe and those on the dark side have undoubtedly realized this problem.

White Curtain cannot win... White Curtain cannot defeat that monster.

This isn't just cosmic-level combat power; this is... power that transcends the entire universe!!!

That was a monster, a true monster in every sense of the word!

The white curtain has already lost!

"hateful!!!"

Countless representatives of the universe couldn't help but mutter this curse under their breath.

Now that things have come to this, they all understand the true intentions of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Regardless of the ultimate fate of the mastermind, there is no doubt that He has achieved His goal. The only uncertainty is... whether He can expand His gains...

After the explosion, the white curtain... vanished, swallowed by flames... swallowed by energy. That domineering, indescribable existence... without a doubt, the white curtain was defeated, and even its life was in danger.

He was the most seriously injured person in this battle!

The fireball, which resembled a vast universe, didn't last long in the hazy fog; it disappeared in a short while.

As the flames disappeared, a white curtain, almost charred, fell from the sky, completely engulfed by the flames.

Then... it crashed onto the battlefield.

The mastermind behind the scenes watched this scene unfold silently.

The white curtain's heartbeat had stopped, and the system's energy seemed to have been completely exhausted. It could even see that the vast universe represented by that system was... slowly... dying away.

Without a doubt, he had lost; he had completely lost the will to live.

As if exhaling a breath of stale air, the mastermind descended from the sky.

It landed among the meteorites on that battlefield.

King Ao was the first to react, and he quickly rescued Bai Mu's body, then returned to his camp to protect her.

The others also quickly excused themselves from their enemies and returned to their camp, remaining highly vigilant and alert towards the enemy before them...

The White Curtain has been defeated. No one can hold back that monstrous being. This battle is extremely difficult... If the others don't arrive soon, they too are very likely to die at the hands of this monster!

Damn it... what a troublesome opponent who makes you want to curse him out!

In contrast to their serious and prepared demeanor, the mastermind behind the scenes was filled with laughter and merriment.

The mastermind has won, defeating the power of a vast universe. Their pressure will be much less now, especially since reinforcements haven't arrived yet. They should take this opportunity to kill a few more people!

It would be best to kill all the guys here!

"Stop wasting time talking to them. This is a golden opportunity, don't miss it! Time waits for no one, this isn't the time to watch the show, kill them first!!!"

One of the thugs, with a sinister grin, prepared to charge forward and continue killing.

However, at that moment, the mastermind suddenly raised his hand and stopped him.

"They...have arrived."

As soon as the mastermind finished speaking, countless beams of light descended from the sky, and terrifying beings imbued with the aura of the universe appeared around Noah and his companions. Then... all the power of the universe gathered together!

Chapter 396 I Don't Want You to Walk Alone

Countless cosmic forces converged, and numerous powerful beings stood before them.

An overwhelming aura instantly swallowed up the enemy's oppressive force, and an unparalleled sense of heaviness permeated the surroundings. Although they did not know what was happening, they knew that the war had begun.

It seems that we have paid a price!

"I didn't expect it to come so soon... This is really troublesome."

"These guys must be dogs, they came running the moment they smelled the scent."

"No, they're probably even worse than dogs."

"I was originally planning to kill a few more... preferably Saga, but it seems I won't be able to do that today."

"Heh, what's wrong? You're too scared to kill now that people are here? Aren't you being a bit too cowardly? We're the ones in the lead now!"

"Even if you have the advantage, it's not a winning position. You might end up dying instead of killing anyone."

"What a coward!"

"you!"

Behind the scenes, countless beings were whispering among themselves. Some wanted to continue killing, while others wanted to retreat. This led to conflict between the two sides, as they were all beings at the level of the Great Universe and neither was willing to submit to the other. Therefore, they were about to start fighting at the slightest disagreement.

But the mastermind behind the scenes raised his hand without hesitation to stop them.

It was clearly only the size of a normal person, but the moment it raised its hand, countless beings fell silent, and all eyes were focused on this creature whose appearance was obscured.

For ferocious cosmic monsters, witches, and dragons, the only beings capable of obeying them are those even more powerful than themselves.

In this world, the strong are respected, and this is an undeniable truth everywhere.

The true strength of the mastermind behind the scenes has just been fully revealed to them.

—Powerful, terrifying, and above the entire universe!

Such a terrifying existence would undoubtedly make them bow their heads.

Not to mention that this guy also made promises... In order to recruit them, the mastermind made many promises, and it is because of these promises that they are temporarily staying here and fighting against the universe.

Well, even if the masterminds behind the scenes don't make promises, they'll still be enemies of the universe...

As former members of the greater universe, their countless failures were all predicated on the permission of the greater universe. If it weren't for the greater universe, they might have actually succeeded...destroying the universe, ruling the universe, and so on.

Therefore, they are actually filled with resentment towards the universe.

Who wouldn't love the ability to take revenge on their own universe?

However, such people are not good at cooperation and planning, and will be easily defeated by the universe.

It is precisely because of this that they understand how to accept the invitation and promises of the mastermind behind the scenes, and then put aside their inner conflicts to fight side by side temporarily.

In this situation, one point comes to mind.
