It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

Into the Shadows

This was the prayer Ivan had used before his death. Although the ground would also be eroded by the storm, it helped him stabilize his posture, preventing him from being blown away immediately and ensuring he could exert force in the direction he desired.

Chapter 1030: It seems like he had figured out the combo long ago

Being able to achieve this effect is enough.

And when she emerged from the "ground", she had naturally found the direction to break the storm.

I just want to confront it head-on.

Thousand-Shadow Wet Scythe

Bai Lin's figure instantly transformed into countless flying shadows. Simultaneously, thousands of sickle shadows emanated from them, unexpectedly snatching up several clusters of meteorite fragments. Under the influence of these interactions, the meteorite itself strangely centered around Bai Lin and his clone, becoming somewhat more obedient.

Immediately afterwards, countless shadows quickly converged on Bai Lin. Countless sickles latched onto her body, completely anchoring it to the meteor shower. She herself had already positioned herself, her hands firmly gripping the greatsword. An overwhelming force surged towards her.

Barrier Breaker

In an instant, she loosened all the bindings on the sickles, and her whole body was like a meteorite rushing forward, directly breaking away from the group of forces in the storm and flying directly towards the god in front of her.

No matter what the situation, finding the right point to strike with all her might was Bai Lin's consistent combat method. Having spent countless days and nights with the knights, even those she had never used before, she could use them with ease, drawing on her own understanding.

And all this happened in an instant after the storm started.

The god raised its claws slightly, and two massive magical blades swung towards Bai Lin, but she dodged them one by one as she rushed forward. Then, thousands of pupil-shaped objects quickly appeared from the god's wings and spread out.

Powerful crimson rays pierced the sky like thunder, tearing the world apart and bringing the storm to a halt. The myriad attacks failed to reach Bai Lin, still unable to halt her advance. She smashed some of her swords directly, piercing through the air and holding the heavy sword high.

Upon seeing this, the god instantly created a massive shell barrier, heavily blocking Bai Lin's attack. Instantly, a dull sound, like someone trapped inside a giant bell and then struck, filled the entire world and echoed.

A few cracks appeared on the deity's carapace, but it didn't shatter. However, she was effectively knocked back a step. Bai Lin's figure also fell to the ground after this blow.

"To challenge God is foolish!"

It was only one step, but it was already beyond the imagination of even the gods. Her furious roar signaled her reassessment of Bai Lin. Six elephant-like limbs sprouted from her lower body, and she plummeted fiercely toward the ground. The bedrock crumbled, the earth collapsed, and even the sky shook violently. Simultaneously, six wings unfolded simultaneously, and countless curtains of light descended from the edge of the sky.

Rain from the sky

This wasn't a meteor shower like Marennia's, but a true "rain" of light, like a machine gun barrage, dense enough to leave no one breathing space. Countless waves of light instantly descended from the sky, striking Bai Lin, who had been shaken up from the ground. With no place to stand, forsaken by the heavens, this was an incredibly perilous situation.

But so what? Challenging heaven and earth with just a sword might seem foolish. But when I think of the person holding the sword...

"Stupid" only means "seemingly".

Bai Lin, shaken to his feet, raised his sword and slashed at the nearest meteorite. The heavy blow collided with the rain of meteorites, like two ships colliding on a stormy night. The surging force caused him to stumble and fall downward. The meteorite exploded, sending a torrent of fragments raining down devastatingly on the already devastated earth.

As she stalled and plummeted, she found the perfect angle, switching back to holding her sword with one hand. With her other hand, she conjured an axe and hurled it into the air. The spinning axe blade pierced through the debris of the meteorite, bouncing off the remaining meteor shower, distorting its own landing point. The impacted meteorites collided with others, creating a small gap in the already dense shower.

The deity lowered her body, and seeing the situation was dire, she plunged directly into the changing mountains and rivers, fiercely extending her claws. She dispersed the catastrophe and rushed forward at a speed that seemed to capture Bai Lin and crush him to death.

Bai Lin flung her scythe again, hooking it onto a meteorite and flinging herself back into the air. She stepped directly onto one of the meteorites, her speed suddenly increasing. In a flash, she was like a ghost, catching up with the axe and dodging the god's throw. She fell forward, striking the god's wing with her axe. Crimson blood gushed out, staining her armor. Then, Bai Lin lowered her shoulders and struck with another heavy sword strike, knocking the opponent's weight off balance.

Finally, she raised her bare hand high, and a surge of restless power surged from her body, emanating from her arm. A hymn of blood splattered, echoing with the hum of machinery. In an instant, the greatsword ignited with a terrifying chain-saw-like shell of energy, striking directly at the existing wounds on the god's body, deeply and painfully.

Bloodlust Infernal Saw

Bai Lin's flurry of attacks not only easily neutralized the opponent's powerful attack, but also directly injured the god. The swiftness of his attack, the fluidity of his abilities, and the heavy pressure, as if all the Dark Knights were still present, descended upon Xiao Nuo.

The god's form suddenly transformed, and the wing where Bai Lin was standing instantly sprouted numerous ice crystals. The freezing temperature of the ten-thousand-year-old black ice was impossible to break free of by brute force. If Bai Lin dared to linger even a moment longer, she would be sealed there. Knowing this, she fell back to the ground. The god, seemingly intent on forcing her back, quickly returned to its original state.

"You are just a mere ant, how audacious! I will let you experience firsthand the difference between humans and gods!"

The god's voice echoed, shaking the heavens and the earth. Then, the god's body merged with the crimson sandstorm, vanishing like smoke in the blink of an eye. Then, a dense forest of buildings appeared beside Bai Lin, and a group of people dressed in modern clothes gathered in the city.

"You're just another person in this vast world, bound by fate. You think you're special, you're praised by others, but are you any different from the people who live like the walking dead?"

Chapter 1031 Immortality

"Successful individuals, business elites. Sports champions, top movie stars? Aren't they all extraordinary? But before God, you are all the same. Fall before God's majesty, and peacefully face your final destruction alongside your kin!"

Numerology Cage

Thousands of living beings swirled around Bai Lin. They operated according to the basic rhythm of society, marching through the pace of ordinary life. Standing among them, Bai Lin seemed so out of place. People seemed like a kind of "rules," an essential constraint, forcing Bai Lin to keep up with their pace and downplay his own ideas.

Taking off this tough yet strange armor, throwing away that heavy and dangerous sword, just like that, he walked towards the ending arranged by others...

Instantly, the distant clouds dissipated. Pairs of wings, too numerous to fit within sight, spread out at the edge of the horizon. And from within, a massive crimson eye emerged. The god's form shifted again. This time, she unleashed the purest power, bringing ultimate divine punishment upon all.

Powerful energy began to accumulate. Bai Lin, however, continued to stand silently in the center of the city, sword in hand.

"My name is Vandortino, and I was born to lead my own world. Now it has collapsed. No matter the cost, no matter how many trillions of years it takes, I will bring it back."

"To this day, no one, no matter who it is, can stop me. Not even the knights, not the poets, not even the other Dusk Gods. Nothing in the world can stop me. You, even less so!

"Ants like you, your best fate is immediate death. I am a god, be destroyed by this blow from me!"

The god's voice was heavy, yet trembled slightly. Standing here, she was already full of respect for Bai Lin, but that was all. At this moment, she only wanted one thing: to destroy Bai Lin.

The Light of the End

“…Me too.”

Bai Lin, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke for the first time. Facing the intense light that was accumulating, her eyes did not waver at all, but she sighed.

"Having come this far, no matter what, what could possibly stop me? My efforts, the contributions of others that I carry on my shoulders, how can I possibly just abandon them? Not to mention asking myself to give up."

"Like everyone else? Destiny? What a ridiculous thing! If others try to stop me, I'll tear them all apart. If Destiny tries to stop me? Then I'll kill Destiny!"

Transcend Fate

With a mighty roar, Bai Lin's massive blade sank into the city ground. Suddenly, a black light engulfed the city, and its inhabitants crumbled along with it. In the blink of an eye, only Bai Lin remained. Her hands rested on the heavy sword before her, her solitary figure standing forever.

That enormous eyeball finally gathered its full power. The powerful light, emanating from one end of the world, instantly enveloped everything. Frenzy, destruction, nothing could remain intact beneath its veil. It was a truly devastating blow.

The final light continued to surge, its overwhelming power shaking even Vandortino himself. It tore through the barriers between worlds, surging unstoppably into the universe. Piercing the night sky, crossing the boundless darkness, it hurtled straight towards Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system.

Then, the planet that, with its massive size and gravity, had eternally protected the rest of the solar system, was pierced through in an instant. Then, a breathtaking explosion followed, a vast amount of light vanishing with the scattering of dust. In a moment, nothing remained of Jupiter.

The annihilating blow gradually died down. This world, forged by the gods themselves, was also destroyed by their own hands. Vandotino observed everything indifferently, watching the world, already falling into doom, as if the universe had gradually gathered together from the scattered chaos since the Big Bang. She seemed content, but then she sighed in emptiness.

Because she knew that even if Bai Lin was completely destroyed, what would it matter? The next time she came, she would be even weaker. Vandotino would repeat this process, just like she would kill countless people in this world, repeating the destruction. This was really a heavy and boring job -

This is not necessarily true.

When the smoke and dust cleared, only the pitch-black greatsword was revealed, standing unscathed at the center of the world. Vandotino's eyes widened. How could this be possible? How could this be incomprehensible? How could such a blow not even destroy a sword?

Then, an even more astonishing scene unfolded before her. From the hilt of the sword, planted in the ground, a pair of hands slowly emerged. Bai Lin's form, skeleton, nerves, muscles, and skin, remained unchanged, as if untouched. Her form slowly recovered, even her armor slowly reviving.

Immortal Dark Will

The sword blade is sunk into the ground, and the sword becomes a shield and also a tomb. If the will remains unchanged and the body remains intact, then there will be eternal immortality.

Her face was gloomy. After briefly stretching her newly grown body, she slowly began to walk again. She dragged the greatsword in one hand and advanced towards the god who had become one side of the world.

"I've said it before. No matter what it is, if it stands in my way, it will only lead to death. I will reach the inevitable end, and I will be invincible. I am the correct answer."

The heavy sound of metal dragging on the floor, accompanied by her somewhat hoarse voice, made the long-accumulated emotions intertwine with the hum of war. Bai Lin stopped and clenched his free hand tightly. The sense of power that seemed to shatter everything roared out with a roar filled with anger.

"You want to destroy me?! Come, come, come, use your foolish idea and try it! What makes you think that the word 'god' can stop me? Just a mere god, you think you can kill me?!"

A ferocious expression crawled across Bai Lin's face. She looked like she was mad, but precisely because of her extreme emotion, the earth shook, and even Vandortino, already a god, had a flicker of fear in his eyes. However, it was only a "flash." The god's figure quickly dissipated again, leaving only the lingering voice, echoing throughout the world.

Chapter 1032: Not Dead or Zombie

"Foolish, so what if you are immortal? In this world, there is always something that can defeat you. The power of this body has only revealed the tip of the iceberg!"

Suddenly, a white-gold hue descended from the sky. A long, utterly unpleasant and repulsive beast appeared before Bai Lin. It was her former adversary, the plague-bearer. Through a perfect ritual, Vandortino had retrieved the DNA of every creature that had ever existed, completely recreating it.

Then, four monsters, each with a different shape and a similar aura to the plague, descended from the sky. They sounded the Galarhorn of apocalypse, bringing about the ultimate destruction of this world.

War, with its broken wings made of pieces of flesh, floated in the air, revealing its four-petaled face, which had always been smiling evilly. Its roar caused the earth to crack, summoning countless species that had ever existed in this world. They rushed towards Bai Lin frantically.

The death hidden beneath the illusory robe gave them an equal weapon. The conceptual blade of death vowed to drag Bai Lin, the undead monster, into the abyss of the end.

With the hunger of a ferocious beast, it devoured most of the surrounding space. It also attracted more creatures from the outer space, all with the same goal of devouring Bai Lin completely.

The plague, however, continued to pour out its pus. It corrupted the world, transforming all living things into new species, leaving Bai Lin alone, despised by the world.

Faced with this situation, Bai Lin still held onto her weapon. Her face was stern, yet she appeared incredibly calm. She simply watched as the wave of monsters swept her away. And then...

"I've already told you, no matter what it is, if it stands in my way, it will die!"

Before long, blood splattered again and again. In a blink of an eye, the battlefield was reduced to a shambles. She severed War's head, hurling the axe into its hungry maw, causing it to open directly to its stomach. Then, she chopped Plague into pieces. Finally, she hammered at the dead skeleton bit by bit, like a man buried alive, pounding again and again against the lid of a coffin that sealed his life.

For Bai Lin, the outcome of the broken coffin was obvious. The other's body quickly ripped open and fell to the ground beside her. Atop the sea of ​​corpses and blood, she watched the bodies of the four knights gradually converge. They seemed to be gnawing at each other, merging in a distorted manner.

But just as she was about to stand up, Bai Lin's incredibly heavy sword slammed down again, sending the twisted mass of flesh shattering onto the ground. She continued to strike the massive corpse with heavy blows until a sudden impact sent it flying, and then she paused.

"You useless piece of shit! After all these years and so much effort, this is the only level of power you've gained? The so-called perfect person is truly ridiculous, just as ridiculous as this puny world."

Vandotino's voice came from above the piece of meat. She seemed a little angry and a little impatient.

"I thought I could kill you with just a few casual moves. Ultimately, I underestimated you and overestimated these lowly creatures. Now, it's time for me to show my true abilities. I will completely erode this already constructed foundation, and then use this immense magical power to summon my own authority."

"Although my foundation was destroyed by that despicable poet, I can still use the correct form to unleash my own power... Even if it's incomplete, it's more than enough to deal with you!"

The massive pile of platinum corpses instantly caved in, as if being devoured. A pair of scarlet claws tore at them like cloth, madly tearing them apart. Blood splattered like a river, sinking into the ground. It flowed through the world, completely dyeing the golden tree a vibrant crimson.

Annihilation, domination, accompanied by intense madness. A powerful aura emanated from the horizon, but after flowing into this world, it was transformed into a pure sense of power that could destroy everything.

A scarlet hand covered in blood and flesh broke out from the pile of corpses. Its massive arm reached into the sky, and countless eyes opened on that terrifying crimson arm. Then, the god's entire form transformed into a shadow, completely leaping out from the pile of corpses.

The tattered cloak cast a veil of mystery over the faceless god. Three wings, also constructed of flesh and blood, growing erratically like butterfly wings, made the supremely pure divine soul appear even more eerie. And in another bloody hand, more proportionate to its size, wielded a double-edged sword resembling authority.

One blade turned inward, the other outward. Wielding power, she dominated the ages. The crimson edge of the blade etched the very image of Vandotino's life. This was the authority she held for a lifetime, and even when it was no longer in her hands, it remained within her heart.

Now, it will bring destruction to the ignorant brave man in front of it!

The moment the authority was raised, Bai Lin froze for a moment. Her gaze involuntarily shifted to her left hand, where only the tattered armor plate clung to it. She saw a shocking scene unfold before her eyes: the hand suddenly began to move in a distorted manner, then cracked and grew, a bright red flesh growing from it, and then, immediately, it exploded.

I can't feel the flow of magic power. Is this divine power? It's really a bit unreasonable...

Bai Lin's eyes fixed on Xiao Nuo, who was floating in the air again. Although the other party had countless eyeballs on his body, he only responded with sound.

"Oh? Your body didn't completely collapse immediately. Your physical adaptability is truly even greater than that of a poet... What kind of creature are you?"

Bai Lin didn't respond verbally. She lowered her greatsword, and at the same time, her armor shed. The broken sword and shield fell to the ground. As she gathered them together, she slowly revealed the fan bone beneath her wrist, revealing the wild scythe.

"Trying to borrow the afterglow of another god? Hehehe... How ridiculous. You can't possibly fight me with just that."

"You talk a lot."

"what?"

Bai Lin bluntly interrupted the other person. What she did next was even more abrupt than what she had said.

Chapter 1033 You Have Never Beat Me Once

She thrust the wild god's sickle directly into her body. She spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered half a step, but she showed no sign of falling. She even stared at the god intently, speaking weakly but clearly,

"What is this girl doing? Suicide isn't a complete solution. If I attack her directly now, will she fall into my trap? Or maybe I'll just play with her again. She's only at this point anyway. That's what you're thinking now, right?"

"Too many, too many useless thoughts. I know a worthless god like you wouldn't bother to use our past to hurt me or shake me. But even though you've already given up on turning back, these thoughts still hold you back."

"You're unconsciously analyzing me based on your past understanding of me, imagining my abilities you've never seen, wondering why I'm so powerful. But in battle, you only have one thing to think about: what's your next move to tear me apart."

As he spoke, Bai Lin laughed twice in a mocking manner.

"Who am I, and what does it have to do with you? Didn't I tell you that nothing can stop you? Why are you asking such a question? You're not your usual tsundere schoolgirl, revealing your true nature and opening up to me. You're on a path to kill me, or be killed by me. Can't you even tell that?!"

"You're just a mere ant, you wouldn't really consider yourself my master, would you? Even now, you're kind enough to lecture me. Ah... you're truly different from them. The moment you showed up, you attacked me straight away. You were surprisingly heartless. But I'm no different."

Vandotino was not angered by Bai Lin's words, instead she also revealed a mocking tone,

"The reason I'm curious and shocked is because I have the strength to spare, not because I have any nostalgia for our past. To me, it was just a fleeting moment in the vastness of time, completely worthless."

"But what about you? Do you dare to say that you don't care about that at all? As far as I know, you humans are the most emotional beings."

Before Vandortino could finish, the sound of liquid falling to the ground rang out. It was a line of tears flowing from Bai Lin's eyes. Her lips trembled slightly.

"How could I not care? It's precisely because I care too much that I'm so resolute. The only disciple I taught myself, the one and only one in my life, stabbed me in the back and slaughtered all my companions."

"You have no idea what I was thinking when I was crushed beneath that broken G8 World Egg, what I was thinking when I rushed here without stopping after seeing the poet's message, and what I'm thinking now, standing before you. Because right now, I don't need to think about anything. There's only one right thing I need to do, and that is to kill you."

The gnashing tone made Bai Lin tremble all over, or perhaps it was just the blood loss caused by the blood flowing through the sickle that caused her physical discomfort. But there was no doubt that her eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Do you remember the first time we met? The only thing I miss now is the time I didn't follow my instincts and killed you right there."

"If I were you, I wouldn't just watch him talking nonsense with his sickle stuck in his chest. Instead, I'd just continue using that ability of yours to completely destroy him. You probably haven't noticed, you've gone crazy. Think about it, would you ever stop going all out to destroy him just because you thought you were stronger than him? Even after seeing unexpected situations time and time again, you still think you know me perfectly? Even Xiao Nuo, whom I taught, isn't that arrogant."

"But thanks to this, I can kill you more easily. That's great."

Bai Lin relaxed, but the blood-red tears flowed from her eyes even more intensely. Her lips had been bitten by herself, and a terrifying smile appeared on her face. Seeing that chilling expression, Vandortino was also calm.

"You are the one who has gone mad, aren't you? Humans are truly weak and pitiful. Simply suffering such a blow, you've gone mad, and yet you've even called others insane... I'm kindhearted, and I truly don't want to see you in such a state of distress. Therefore, I offer you, my former master, a sincere gift—a glorious sacrifice."

"Come on, raise your weapons. Use your death to put an end to the duel between our master and disciple!"
