I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

"Then let's go with this one," Yan Ziming suggested. "I'm really curious to know just how amazing it is."

By this time, Mu Mu's expression had turned completely cold.

She's taking the initiative to fight!

"Hua Guo, Yan Zimo, please enlighten me."

Yan Ziming laughed heartily, his whole being seemingly transforming into chaos at that moment, radiating a distorted light, and everyone could feel that will.

She was determined to defeat Mu Mu's most prized techniques in her own area of ​​expertise!

Nothing could be more meaningful than this.

Both sides went all out, using their most powerful methods. Regardless of victory or defeat, this will bring a perfect ending to the story.

Yan Ziming had never underestimated Mu Mu.

She had learned back during the Civilization Cup that Mu Mu's Galactic Realm had a special carrier, and its quality was not much lower than that of Lei Qie.

Now, as Mu Mu's strength steadily advances, her domain is also gradually becoming stronger, and it is unknown to what extent it has reached now.

However, there are still examples that can provide Yan Zimo with reference—

During the Battle of the Mountains and Seas, Mu Mu used the Galaxy Domain to forcefully seal off the Skeleton Hunters for several minutes.

If it can seal off a sequence-level being, is its strength even questionable?

However, Yan Zimo was determined to challenge his own limits.

At the same time, this also means that she is confident that she has a stronger attack power than the Bone Hunter!

What arrogance!

But Mu Mu had no doubt that she could do it.

She had reason to believe that Yan Ziming was absolutely confident enough to break through his own limitations.

After all, she was the one who killed Aurora...

but!

Mu Mu's self-confidence is in no way inferior to Yan Zimo's!

This is a duel akin to the strongest spear versus the strongest shield.

It is also a breakthrough for both sides in their own paths!

Mu Mu's eyes shone with a ghostly light, and his voice became ethereal and otherworldly, as if he had transcended this world.

She asked again, "Have you thought it through?"

"Of course," Yan Ziming replied, still giving the same answer.

"Then let this regret take with us as we perish today."

In an instant, the Milky Way became a hundred times brighter, illuminating the sky. Countless starlight broke through the silver light curtain, and half of Bei'an City seemed to be in a sea of ​​stars.

In Yan Ziming's perception, the Milky Way Realm was now completely different.

This is the strongest manifestation of Mu Mu's ultimate move, "All-Encompassing".

Then, the starry world subsided, and Yan Zimo had disappeared from sight. When they came to their senses, Yan Zimo was already in a vast starry sea.

This place is more real than the Milky Way Realm; Yan Zimo can even truly feel new laws flowing here.

It felt as if this were the real universe.

"?!"

As if by some unseen force, Yan Ziming was being watched by something, and an extremely terrifying pressure descended, causing her back to bend slightly, and the wounds on her body began to reopen under this pressure.

Now, she can hardly move even a single finger.

She was targeted by this universe.

She finally understood why the Skeleton Hunter had been sealed off for several minutes in such an environment.

Here, a supreme power has firmly locked her at the very center of the universe, making her the hub of this universe, with the operation and rotation of the universe revolving around her.

It's like a main gear; its rotation can drive the operation of hundreds or thousands of gears.

But what if this main gear can't withstand such intense operation?

Then it will be ground into pieces by the turning of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions of gears.

The surrounding starry sea is like a gear, and Yan Ziming has to bear all the pressure from it. The entire starry sea is pressing down on her delicate body, making her feel as if she is carrying a mountain, making it difficult for her to walk.

Mu Mu appeared in front of Yan Ziming, reaching out to stroke the immobile person before him, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light.

"Little Momo... struggle as much as you want."

"as you wish."

Even in such a disadvantageous situation, Yan Ziming never lost the smile on his face.

Hasn't she been living a life rejected by the entire world for a long time?

Yan Ziming closed his eyes, his body completely stiffening, as if he were about to perish under the pressure from the entire starry sea.

If Mu Mu had X-ray vision, she could see that the 'blood' inside Yan Ziming's body was surging and boiling, more vast than a roaring river.

That was the 'qi' flowing in her body, or you could say blood.

This is a higher level of energy than ordinary lightning element. After Yan Zimo ascended to the ninth rank, the vast majority of his strongest attack power came from this.

Mu Mu's eyelids twitched. In her eyes, Yan Ziming posed a far greater threat than before, and her skin trembled.

With a flash, she left, devoting herself entirely to suppressing Yan Ziming.

If one had to describe it, Yan Ziming was like undergoing nuclear fusion at this moment, his aura rising steadily, his entire body becoming translucent, like glass, and all his previous wounds were completely healed at this instant.

For an instant.

A mere instant is enough.

The Spear of Victory appeared in her hand, a weapon forged from her very life's blood and sweat, which diminished the dazzling, glass-like light emanating from her.

In an instant, as if a balloon had been punctured, an incomparably terrifying will appeared in this vast universe, and the surrounding stars disintegrated.

Then, she stabbed him.

sizzle-

At that moment, Yan Ziming transformed into a ball of light, instantly radiating eternal brilliance. This light even pierced through the Milky Way, causing Mu Mu to close his eyes involuntarily.

"Well?!"

Mu Mu felt as if she was being embraced by a pair of hands, and her heart skipped a beat. But before she could react, she was already in the sky.

Biu—Boom!

A dazzling firework burst in the sky, followed by a second and a third, until the entire sky was enveloped in fireworks.

Yan Ziming's slightly tired, gentle voice rang in Mu Mu's ear, "Mu Mu, Happy New Year~~"

17. New Year

In that brief moment, it felt like an eternity. When she came to her senses, Mu Mu was already high in the sky, her waist embraced by a pair of soft, boneless hands, and a captivating fragrance wafted towards her.

In a short while, the world began to turn white, and just at that moment, the brightness of the entire city suddenly increased several times, opening a new chapter.

"......Snow?"

Mu Mu subconsciously reached out her hand, and a white, six-petaled snowflake fell into her palm, gradually melting into a drop of clear water.

Snowing.

Boom——

The dazzling fireworks burst forth, reflected in the eternal night sky. After their magnificent display of beauty, they vanished with the wind.

One after another, they bloomed continuously...

Happy New Year, Mu Mu!

Yan Ziming put his arm around Mu Mu and landed on the top of the tallest building, where the two of them were alone.

At that moment, they became the center of the world.

Mu Mu's expression was still somewhat dazed, as if she hadn't yet recovered from the battle just now, and she mumbled incoherently:

"Happy New Year."

Then, she looked at Yan Ziming, her pupils reflecting his image, and said, "I lost?"

"Ahhh! Don't talk about this! This happened last year, so there's no need to bring it up again!"

Seeing that things were starting to develop in the direction she least wanted, Yan Ziming subconsciously kissed Mu Mu's tender red lips.

As someone who has been through it, she understands this kind of disappointment best.

Yes, just a few years ago, I was her defeated opponent. Now, as time has passed, their battle has continued once again, but this time, she lost.

Although this wasn't a real battle, just a few short moves, it represented their current highest level of skill, equivalent to a life-or-death duel between them.

Before this, Yan Ziming had never defeated Mu Mu, so he didn't know just how unacceptable this huge contrast was.
