The Envoy of Abundance from Onphalus

　Russell's right hand, gleaming with a vibrant golden light, plunged effortlessly into his own chest! Blood didn't gush forth, but flowed like molten gold! He pulled it out with a sudden jerk!

　One heart!

　A heart of abundance, carved from the purest amber, radiating a powerful life force and still pulsating strongly!

　"Catch this! A parting gift! My heart will grow back soon. Don't worry. The power of the Pharmacist's blessing is stronger than you think."

　Russell's voice was filled with a tearing pain, yet it was incredibly firm.

　Ignoring the enormous hole in his chest, he used all his strength to forcefully press his heart, which shone with immortal radiance, into Bai E's charred and cracked chest!

　"Ugh—!"

　Bai E let out a roar that was not human! It was not from pain, but from being forcibly poured into by a vast, warm power carrying endless vitality.

　The amber heart instantly took root in his chest cavity, and its powerful throbbing created a strange conflict with the raging fire within him!

　laugh--!

　Large patches of Bai E's charred skin peeled off under the wash of the emerald-gold light, revealing the new, healthy-looking flesh beneath. But the new flesh was instantly scorched by the high temperature of the fire within his body, turning it black again!

　Destruction and rebirth engaged in a fierce tug-of-war within his body! The excruciating pain persisted, but an unprecedented, abundant, and resilient power sustained his faltering soul, as if an immortal spring had been poured into an endless burning hell.

　“Live on! Caislana! In the name of the Savior! Wait for the day I return. I promise to give my all to recreate the true Rebirth.”

　Russell's final words, like a brand, were etched into the soul of Bai Er.

　The next moment, Russell and the land he stood on, along with the tree roots rooted in it, completely transformed into a surging stream of silver data, disappearing from Bai E's sight as if erased by an eraser.

　On the scorched wasteland, only Bai E remained.

　He looked down at his body, still covered in scorch marks but no longer completely destroyed, and felt the amber heart belonging to Russell throbbing within his chest like a pillar of strength.

　The searing pain that had lasted for countless lifetimes and nearly driven him mad was still there, but at this moment, a heavy force, mixed with endless grief and overwhelming anger, supported him as he slowly straightened up.

　He was no longer the fire-stealer.

　He is the White Evil of the Elegant Secret Pavilion.

　He was a student of Bertrand Russell.

　He is Caislana.

　He is everyone's savior.

　At this moment, he is the complete White Evil! The complete Caislana! The complete savior of all!

　Four hundred million sparks burn within him, and the immortal heart of his teacher beats within him.

　He will be like a rock, stuck in the gears of rebirth. He will wait even if it takes 3000 million more times.

　Waiting for the teacher to return.

　Then let that arrogant creator, Luke, taste the wrath of creation!

　……

　Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Ancient Scholar's Playful Escape.

　In the cold control room, data flowed silently across the enormous screen. A subtle, almost "pleasant" fluctuation appeared on Lai Gushi's inorganic face.

　"The efficiency is astonishing."

　He looked at Russell's records of efficiently recovering Titan Sparks, and satisfied analysis results flowed through his logic circuits.

　"The incubation process of the Iron Tomb has passed the critical point. Although the simulation program is riddled with bugs due to data loss... its merits outweigh its flaws."

　His gaze fell on the main screen, where a live feed of Russell's battle with the Firewalker was being streamed.

　"A crushing defeat without any suspense."

　Lai Gushi's core thoughts were calmly making their judgment.

　When he saw Bai E tightly bound by the emerald-gold vines, like a flying insect caught in a spider web, he even let out a cold, simulated sigh: "A string of manipulated data, carrying a bunch of fictitious sparks... how can it shake the power of the Star God's Envoy?"

　However, Russell's next move instantly disrupted his core calculations! Instead of immediately killing him, Russell, with a cold mockery, reached out and touched the cracked mask!

　"No! We can't let him uncover it!"

　Lai Gushi's core processor emitted a powerful alarm pulse! Once his true face beneath the mask is revealed, the script he meticulously crafted through over thirty million reincarnations will completely collapse!

　He deliberately avoided Russell and Bai Er's movements to prevent this moment!

　"Force pause!"

　Regus's metal fingers struck out commands at speeds exceeding the limits of physics.

　hum!

　The flow of time representing the world of Onpharos instantly froze! Flying dust, dissipating energy, Russell's outstretched hand... everything fell into absolute stillness.

　Lai Gushi had just breathed a sigh of relief, but the calculations hadn't yet calmed down—

　boom!

　The screen suddenly trembled! A violent torrent of emerald-gold energy, brimming with the fury of life, burst forth like a ferocious beast breaking free of its shackles, forcefully shattering the program's built-in spacetime freezing field!

　Russell's hand, filled with resolute determination, continued to reach for the mask!

　Lycus was puzzled. Shouldn't the power of abundance be primarily gentle? He didn't quite understand why Russell's abundance carried a violent element. This level of violence was almost on par with the Negative God.

　The panicked computational impulses transformed into frenzied operational commands! Lai Gushi's hands moved across the control panel in a blur, pounding away wildly!

　He wanted to forcibly draft an expulsion agreement with the highest authority, mobilize the power of world rules, and completely package and throw Russell, this super virus, out of the Onfaros program!

　Although this will take time and severely damage the integrity of the process itself, as long as Russell is thrown out before the truth is fully revealed... the result will be the same!

　"Delete! Delete it completely! Delete it along with its very place of residence!"

　All that remained of Lai Gushi's core was this cold, hard command. He no longer paid attention to the details of the battle; all his computing power was devoted to writing the complex and violent extermination code.

　He rudely blocked the error messages that kept popping up in the corner of the screen with a single click.

　"Found you... Locked on... Remover injection..."

　He muttered the cold instructions under his breath.

　Just then, the energy spectrum emanating from Russell on the main screen underwent a terrifying distortion! The originally gentle emerald-gold light instantly turned into an unsettling, polluting dark green and purplish-black!

　The power of abundance no longer manifests vitality and healing, but has become distorted, activated, and filled with distorted malice! That is the dark side of the destiny of abundance—a savage trampling of the boundaries between organic and inorganic!

　Russell wants those behind the scenes to pay the price they deserve.

　[Warning! Warning! Extremely high risk of entropy-increasing contamination energy detected!]

　[Pollution source: Target unknown! Energy properties: Abundant (activated distortion type)!]

　[Pollution path: Eroding the underlying simulation framework! Permeability: 0.1%...0.5%...1.3%...Rapidly rising!]

　[Core Warning: The Scepter core protocol is at risk of contamination! Recommendation: Administrators must intervene manually immediately! Top priority!!!]

　The blinding scarlet alarm instantly flooded all the screens, and the shrill beeping sounded like a dying wail!

　"Damn it!"

　Legus could no longer maintain its lofty and elegant posture; its core processor was overloaded due to the extreme threat!

　He slammed a bright red physical button, forcibly bypassing all security protocols!

　Boom!

　On the screen, on the battlefield of Onfaros, a massive energy sphere, composed entirely of black and red data streams and so large it obscured the view, appeared out of thin air. It carried a terrifying aura that could annihilate all information and slammed into Russell, who was releasing distorted energy!

　boom--!

　Russell's hastily assembled defense shattered like a bubble! The massive impact knocked him back and abruptly interrupted his dangerous energy burst.

　"It's now!"

　Riku seized this fleeting opportunity and pressed the final expulsion order!

　Om-!

　Russell and the earth around him began to flicker violently, and the material structure rapidly decomposed, peeled away, and turned into a surging stream of silver data!

　Even though thick, amber-colored tree roots grew wildly beneath Russell's feet, attempting to anchor him to the earth, the entire land was irrevocably erased as if wiped clean by an eraser in the face of a world-level deletion command!

　"Finally... it's cleared up..."

　As Lai Gushi watched the data point representing Russell completely disappear, a sense of relief, like surviving a catastrophe, welled up deep within him.

　The nightmare is finally over.

　"Coordinates that even the Silent Lord couldn't find, a randomly thrown Envoy of Abundance, and he wants to come back?"

　He looked at the indestructible bronze data model at the edge of the screen, symbolizing the outer wall, constructed by the five destinies, and felt a sense of reassurance.

　All that remains is to wait for the Iron Tomb to hatch in the repaired program; to him, the river of time is nothing more than an infinitely divisible grain of sand.

　However, his sense of relaxation was not even able to last for one computing cycle before it was completely shattered by the next scene on the screen!

　In the very last frame before Russell was about to completely disappear, he did something that nearly crashed the core of the logic of the Rigdauth—he plunged his bare hand into his own chest and pulled out the Heart of Abundance, which was like a piece of the purest amber and exuded a magnificent and immortal life force!

　Then, he forcefully shoved it into Bai E's charred chest cavity!

　"Do not--!!!"

　A deafening roar, a mixture of metallic scraping and shrill data screams, echoed from the control room! Lai Gushi's metal hand slammed into the control panel, leaving a deep dent!

　On the screen, Bai E's body underwent a tragic and bizarre transformation under the power of the Amber Heart: his charred skin peeled off and regenerated, only to be charred again by the burning fire within his body, with destruction and rebirth waging a tug-of-war within him!

　The excruciating pain persisted, but an immortal life force originating from the very source of the Abundance Envoy firmly protected his core like a stabilizing force! This meant that Lai Gushi could no longer easily deal with Bai E, this crucial variable!

　“The heart…the heart of the Envoy of Abundance…”

　Lai Gushi's mind trembled due to the enormous calculation error. "Just worried that I'll silence you? Foolish!"

　He forcefully suppressed his panic, attempting to redirect his attention back to the Iron Tomb's incubation process. Bai'e had gained unimaginable vitality, but the essence of its power remained unchanged, insufficient to threaten the core of the scepter.

　But Russell's legacy goes far beyond just a heart.

　He accessed the system logs, attempting to repair the underlying data framework that Russell had damaged. However, when his instructions touched upon the city-state of "Sotheria"—

　hum!

　On the screen, the entire model of the city of Sotria instantly burst forth with a thick, orange-yellow light! Every brick and every wall that made up the city seemed to come alive, and a vast protective force spontaneously gathered, forming an enormous energy shield above the city, engraved with complex geometric patterns!

　Lai Gushi's delete command was like hitting a barrier set by a star god, bounced back mercilessly, and the system only gave a cold response: "[Operation invalid: The target is protected by the laws of higher dimensions. Force deletion preferred?]"

　“Storage… Cripper’s glance…”

　Lai Gushi felt a chilling sense of powerlessness. This city-state was like a diamond forcibly embedded into the core of the Iron Tomb embryo by the power of the Star God!

　Forcibly peel it off? That would be tantamount to digging out and crushing the core organ of the Iron Tomb! We can only let it remain there like a stubborn stone.

　An even greater problem is the Wall of Abundance that lies at the edge of the Black Tide. Even though Russell is gone, those living plants, nurtured by his divine blood and imbued with a protective will, continue to faithfully carry out their commands!

　Lai Gushi increased the intensity of the Black Tide simulation, ordering the Black Tide monsters to launch a full-scale attack. On the screen, the surging black tide crashed against the emerald-gold giant wall like a destructive wave!

　However, the moment they made contact, the monsters at the forefront let out a shrill roar, their bodies being frantically eroded and covered by emerald-gold veins! Their flesh twisted and swelled, quickly being replaced by wildly growing plant fibers, transforming them into mutated tree-men whose entire bodies were covered in branches and leaves, and whose roots were deeply embedded in the earth.

　These newly born monsters are more resilient and harder to kill than the Black Tide's creations. Without hesitation, they turned around, brandishing their woody claws and roots, and fiercely pounced on the Black Tide behind them!

　The Wall of Fertility was not breached; instead, it became a bridgehead for the reverse invasion of the Black Tide!

　"Activating pollution...the opposite of abundance..."

　As Lai Gushi watched the absurd and terrifying scene on the screen, his core processor hummed with overload.

　He brought up the error log interface—a mountain of scarlet warnings, like a sea of ​​blood, instantly flooded his vision:

　[Error: Soteria City-State (Preservation Law Fixed) - Cannot be modified! Cannot be deleted!]

　[Error: Wall of Fertility (Activated Pollution Source) - Continuous Reverse Erosion of Kuroshio Current Simulation Module! Pollution Diffusion Rate +0.01%/second!]

　[Error: Basic environmental data (sky/earth/ocean) - some parts are permanently missing! Unable to reconstruct!]

　[Error: Death rule logic chain - broken! Unrepairable!]

　[Error: Negative world logic strength - continuously decreasing...]

　[WARNING: Iron Tomb incubation process - Due to core data contamination and missing data, the expected final strength has been reduced by 10%! Stability rating: Dangerous.]

　"Russell..."

　For the first time, the inorganic sound of the Rigols carried a clearly discernible metallic friction sound, similar to grinding teeth.

　He closed the glaring error interface and stared intently at the data model on the screen that represented the Iron Tomb embryo, which already had cracks and discolored patches.
