Gao Peng raised his head only to see Desolion and the rest of the familiars open their mouths. They seemed to want to say something but refrained.
Desolion’s head lifted up, it looked to its left and right cautiously, and then said carefully, “Gao Peng, it seems that the thing is giving me an order, but I seem to be immune to it. Do you feel it?”
“I feel it.” Gao Peng nodded.
“So you hear it, too?”
“You, too?”
Goldie and Da Zi both asked loudly.
“…”
Gao Peng chided, “Can you keep your voices down? Are you trumpets?”
“There’s no one around,” said Di Zi, feeling very indignant.
“Gao Yueyue is actually scolding me. I will remember this transgression.” Di Zi locked this incident and vendetta into its petty heart.
It was true that there was no one around. Since they woke up, aside from the huge existence in the distant sky, everything else was a wasteland.
After confirming that the Root of Termination couldn’t forcibly command himself and his familiars, Gao Peng gradually relaxed. He found that this ‘Root of Termination’ was a little strange and seemed to have no subjective consciousness.
It functioned like a program or an ideology. Aside from its sole purpose of completing a command, nothing else mattered. Even if Gao Peng wandered around this existence, there would be no response.
When Gao Peng was wandering around along its left and right sides, he was struck by a stream of thought.
“End everything, end everything, end everything…”
“Aren’t you tired?” Gao Peng sighed.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Gao Peng consistently had a hunch that there would be a fatal risk if he tried to test the ability of this existence, he probably would have taken a shot at the monster.
“With just this little amount of additional strength, it becomes hard to obey a command,” Gao Peng told the Root of Termination.
The Root of Termination didn’t answer him.
Maybe… it couldn’t be bothered?
“Hey, you were the one who lured me here. No matter what the reason is, shouldn’t you give me an explanation?” Gao Peng grumbled to the Root of Termination.
Seeing that the Root of Termination was ignoring him, Gao Peng shook his head and left through the space channel.
The other side of the channel felt more familiar to Gao Peng. This area of space seemed more like the one they occupied.
…
“What happened to the Thunder Elemental World? Why can’t the breath of the Thunder Elemental World be felt anymore?!” In the vast chaos, within a pocket of space, there was an area composed entirely of flames.
Deep in the fire, it seemed that the vision of a huge and terrifying being passed through the vast space and descended onto the Thunder Elemental World. But at this point, the world had already changed in some ways.
There was a hazy shadow along the peripheral of the Thunder Elemental World. Behind it was great terror.
Not only in the Fire Elemental World, powerful beings were aware of the dramatic changes in the Thunder Elemental World. This was because many strange monsters were rushing out of the Thunder Elemental World and attacking all the major planes, causing great panic.
There was a boom that resonated throughout the sky.
In the Empyrean, there was a ferocious blue beast roaring in the sky over the Shengtuo Empire.
Bolts of lightning appeared in the sky, falling like a shower.
Another boom rang out!
The mountains and rivers were smashed, the rivers evaporated, and the city was reduced to a serious disaster area. Many members of the Ling Clan who didn’t have time to react were immediately destroyed by lightning.
“Roar!” A huge figure emerged from the depths of the Shengtuo Empire.
It was a Roaring Skywatcher, one of the only three higher gods in the Ling Clan. It was ancient, over 10,000 years old.
With a blast, two giant monsters collided.
In a moment, the Roaring Skywatcher was torn into two pieces by the thunder, and a bloody rain covered the sky.
“Huff.” Deep in the palace, a man dressed in a red emperor’s robe spat out blood, opened the window, and looked at the sky in disbelief.
“My Roaring Skywatcher was killed in a flash. What level was the enemy? Why would this enemy attack our empire?” he thought.
There was despair on the man’s face, for he knew that his empire was over.
Without the protection of the Roaring Skywatcher, the Shengtuo Empire would completely fall from the top, just like the Rain Border Empire’s loss of Jormungtydr a few months earlier had greatly damaged their empire. They fell off the list of the three supreme empires. Of course, the two other supreme empires also took advantage of the situation.
“It’s over… Everything is all over…”
…
“The Root of Termination’s task is pretty insane. Killing all living beings and destroying the world isn’t the standard and proper villain act.” Gao Peng rode on Da Zi, his face gloomy.
Although Gao Peng didn’t feel that he was a good man, he didn’t want to destroy the world.
Just thinking of basic logic, once one destroyed the world, where would people live? What could they eat? What about entertainment?
“But even if I don’t take action, the Root of Termination would erode other monsters. Since the monsters have been corrupted, their brains are abnormal, they become crazy, and they start continuously attacking other planes,” Gao Peng reasoned in his head.
That made it everyone’s enemy.
There could only be two results—one was for the world to be destroyed, while the other was to be destroyed by the world.
At this moment, Gao Peng was in a dilemma, like an ant caught between two giant beasts.
Gao Peng informed the familiars of the current situation so that they could psychologically prepare themselves. The effect of erosion on himself and others was very obvious.
It was like a drop of oil mixed in water, so it could be found very easily.
“Gao Peng, I remember a quote I once heard.” Goldie’s right hand rested on Gao Peng’s shoulder.
Gao Peng looked up and looked at Goldie seriously. “What’s the quote?”
“It takes a demon to kill a demon.” Goldie clenched its fist and continued enthusiastically, “So let’s become the strongest Root of Termination!”
Gao Peng hesitated.
This wasn’t about killing one or two monsters. If one wanted to surpass other corrupted monsters, the amount of killing that was required would be a scarily astronomical number.
“Gao Peng, we kill to protect. We’re doing this to save more lives and protect the people you want to protect,” said Fatty Big Sea.
Gao Peng placed his hands behind his back. The chilly wind breezed past him, lifting his sleeves.
Fatty Big Sea turned around and lay on Da Zi’s back. It knew that Gao Peng would still need to decide on his own. They were merely Gao Peng’s familiars. No matter what decision Gao Peng made… They would abide by his decision.
Gao Peng lifted his lowered head, gazing into the distance, and said calmly, “Let’s destroy the world.”
Coughing, Fatty Big Sea choked on its saliva.
“You thought so long, with such great emotion, only to come to this decision?” Fatty Big Sea didn’t know if it should cry or laugh, saying, “Gao Peng, your demonic nature is even greater than I had imagined.”
“Our speed of killing is too slow.” Gao Peng shook his head quietly. “And do you remember the one who knocked us out? It’s so much more powerful than us. We won’t be able to catch up with it simply by killing.”
“Anyway, I’m not saying we’re going to destroy the entire world. Some of the surface sea planes were already waiting for their inevitable collapses. I’m just expediting those for them,” Gao Peng said calmly.
