Chapter 301 - 302: The Void Shattered, the World Stilled!
Watching Lilith transform into a scarlet stream of light, swiftly disappearing into the horizon with Snow Maiden and Sally, Aster Grant’s tense heartstrings finally relaxed a bit.
At least... they escaped.
This time, not everyone will perish here.
In the sky, the destructive aura paid no attention to those who fled—
Its target had always been Aster Grant alone.
"Crack—crack—"
The laws around the void passage began to break one by one, emitting a heart-stopping brittle sound.
The passage spanning worlds violently disturbed the origin of this world, forcing the rules of heaven and earth to twist and fall into chaos.
The wind howled like a knife, swirling out from the twisted rifts.
The earth trembled, cracking open bottomless chasms.
The distant snow-capped mountains collapsed in succession, and the roiling snow waves roared, engulfing everything.
The whole world seemed to have torn off its mask of balance, descending completely into doomsday chaos.
Dark clouds surged, and lightning flickered uncertainly beside the void passage, even the light seemed twisted and ominous.
The world seemed to have entered doomsday!
At this moment, Lazuli resolutely spread her wings, standing firmly in front of Aster Grant.
The Power of Guardian Angels was unleashed without reservation, the resplendent Golden Domain enveloping the two like a shield, resisting the rampant Power of Heaven and Earth.
Aster Grant looked at the seemingly fragile yet incredibly determined figure blocking in front of him and hoarsely advised:
"Lazuli, this time... it’s clear they are targeting me; you don’t have to stay here with me."
From seeing Lilith successfully withdraw with others, he already understood—
That killing intent spanning the void, locked onto him, didn’t care about others.
As long as Lazuli was willing, she could leave this certain-death scenario at any time.
Yet Lazuli showed no hesitation.
She turned her head back, her golden eyes firmly looking at him:
"Master, please don’t say such things anymore."
"No matter where you go, Lazuli will be by your side—"
"Until the end!!"
Her voice was gentle yet indisputable.
Even facing an enemy far beyond imagination at this moment.
Even when this time, there’s no possibility of escape.
Even when she and Aster Grant both remain here.
She would never retreat half a step.
Lazuli’s eyes quickly swept around.
Everywhere she looked, heaven and earth shattered, the void twisted, and rampant energy storms tore the earth into countless abysses.
Yet her heart was gradually sinking.
She tried to find a chance to take Aster Grant away amidst the chaos.
However—
Let alone leave, even moving her body had become incredibly difficult.
She slowly raised her head, staring at the void passage covering the entire sky.
It was like a giant mouth devouring light, constantly pouring out the breath of destruction.
Deep in the passage, a cold and enormous will had long locked onto both of them.
She realized too...
The opponent would never give them any chance to escape.
Since that’s the case...
There was only one path left.
If they weren’t allowed to leave, then they would...
Fight to the end!
With body as a shield, life as a struggle, hold on till the end!
"Master, as long as Lazuli is alive, I will never let anyone hurt you!"
Hearing these words, Aster Grant was slightly startled.
He looked down at Lazuli’s little face, full of determination.
Aster Grant’s originally tense lips couldn’t help but lift slightly, showing a trace of gentle smile.
Never mind.
He understood in his heart—
No matter how much he persuaded, Lazuli would never leave alone.
If so, then face it together!
Even if the end is destined to fall, they will fight to the last moment after struggling with all their might.
"Soul-devouring!"
"Sovereign: Soul Bond!"
"Sovereign Guardian!"
Without reservation, Aster Grant simultaneously activated two major talents, pushing his spiritual power to the limit.
The blood-red Soul-devouring Power and ice-blue Jungle Glory intertwined, enveloping Lazuli’s entire body.
And Lazuli’s aura continuously rose, reaching a summit.
This was the extreme that Aster Grant could achieve without harnessing the Divine Pattern.
With the Guardian Angel Form, World Law empowerment, Beast Taming Attribute gathering, and Jungle Power’s quadruple overlay...
Lazuli’s Attributes had astonishingly broken through to eight million points!
Dazzling golden light burst out from her body, and her holy wings spread like a deity descending upon the world.
Yet even so—
Aster Grant’s expression showed no trace of relaxation, his eyes became even more grave.
The pressure permeating the sky had already exceeded the Totem Level Initial Tier, even vaguely transcending the entire Totem Level!
"Boom——!!!"
Accompanied by a sound that seemed to tear the universe, the void passage crossing the sky was completely built.
The next moment, under Aster Grant’s horrified gaze—
A Colossal Tortoise, as if piercing through heaven and earth, slowly emerged from deep within the passage.
Just a fleeting glimpse made Aster Grant feel a violent tremor in his mind, his soul struck hard.
The Colossal Tortoise’s surface was covered in an abyss-like dark carapace, with Annihilation Law patterns flowing upon it.
Wherever it went, space collapsed bit by bit, even light could not escape its devouring.
Aster Grant gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing his nearly berserk spiritual power.
Every inch of flesh was crying under unbearable pressure.
Beside him, Lazuli’s body trembled slightly as well.
The holy Golden Domain flickered intermittently under this pure destructive pressure, like a candle in the wind.
What... kind of existence is this?
Merely standing in front of Aster Grant, she felt every inch of skin, every strand of soul, issuing sharp warnings—
As long as she continued standing here, death would be the only outcome.
And this was only the Colossal Tortoise descending upon this world, without even starting a real attack...
Yet even so, Lazuli still bit her silver teeth hard, her eyes ablaze with golden light:
"Guardian... Domain!"
She arduously raised her hands, and the resplendent golden light flowed from her palms, trying to form a solid barrier.
But under the Colossal Tortoise master’s pressure, the surrounding World Laws had long descended into complete chaos, even the flow of energy became sluggish and twisted.
For every bit of power Lazuli gathered, it felt like she was contending against the entire world’s pressure.
One must know, her current power had already approached Totem Tier Two, which on usual days would be the limit of this world.
Yet against this transcendent aura, even maintaining the Domain proved incredibly difficult.
Finally, a flickering golden Light Domain took shape with her persistent support.
Right after, Aster Grant’s Sovereign Guardian Power also fully reinforced it, intertwining ice-blue and blood-red streams flowing into the Domain, pushing its strength to the utmost.
This was all the two of them could construct now...
Their last, and strongest defense line.
"Lazuli, brace yourself—it’s making a move!"
Lazuli’s gaze instantly solidified, her entire body entering extreme vigilance.
Above the sky, the Colossal Tortoise, seemingly born from chaos, momentarily pressed down.
At this moment, the world fell into a suffocating stillness.
The annihilating aura accompanying the Colossal Tortoise’s descent arrived first—
Everything obstructing its path:
Shattered mountains, raging storms, and even the broken void...
All silently turned into nothingness at this moment, as if they never existed.
