After leaving the world of all NPCs

But, it can't penetrate at all!

It didn't even break his skin...

"how is this possible?"

Himeragi Setsuna's brown eyes instantly lost focus due to extreme shock.

The Demon-Breaking Holy Spear... unexpectedly...

Ye Zuochen didn't even look at Himeragi Yukina, he just raised his right hand very casually and pulled it back.

Snapped!

A resounding slapping sounded like thunder in the sky above the silent shrine.

Himeragi Setsuna felt as if she was hit on the face by an invisible giant hammer. Her petite body instantly left the ground, flew out in a spin, and fell heavily on the stone floor several meters away.

The "Snow Wolf" flew out of his hand and fell to the side with a clang.

The Sword Wizard covered his rapidly swollen left face with his hand. His mind was blank, his eyes were filled with confusion and great humiliation, and he lay there blankly, as if the whole world had turned upside down.

“Skip the process and go straight to the result?”

Ye Zuochen slowly withdrew his hand, and his gaze finally fell on Ge Zongci, who had a look of horror on his face.

"This kind of skill in manipulating time...is not something a speck of dust like you, who doesn't even possess the 'gravity of fate', can dabble in."

boom! ! !

An indescribable and incomprehensible power erupted from Ye Zuochen's body.

That was not an impact of energy, but a crushing of reality by the "weight" of existence itself.

That is the "force" of individual life that is so huge that it can distort the long river of fate.

Everyone present suddenly felt a chill on their backs, and a chill from the depths of their souls instantly froze their blood.

Everyone felt that there was an invisible and intangible, yet terrifying existence that was so huge that it affected the fate of the planet. It quietly descended behind each of them and cast a cold gaze!

Snapped! ! !

A series of dense and crisp slaps exploded simultaneously in every corner of the shrine like a rainstorm.

No one could see what was happening.

There was no warning.

All the sword wizards around were like being hit by an invisible giant hand at the same time. Without even being able to scream, their bodies fell to the ground in various twisted postures like puppets with their strings cut.

There was a clearly swollen slap mark on everyone's face.

Shock, twitching, pain, burning...

The originally solemn encirclement collapsed in an instant, leaving only the mess on the ground and the repeated groans of pain.

Only Kirasaka Sayaka was free and looked around blankly.

“Ahhhh——!!!”

Ge Zongci let out a heart-wrenching howl, and his thick legs, from the knees down, seemed to be crushed by an invisible millstone in an instant!

Flesh, bones, nerves...

It was completely crushed into the finest flesh, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

puff!

His body lost its support and crashed to the cold ground, splashing large amounts of blood.

Severe pain and extreme fear instantly overwhelmed Ge Zongci.

There was only distorted horror and unbelievable despair on the rough face.

It was precisely because he possessed the power to manipulate cause and effect that he understood what had just happened more deeply than anyone else.

That wasn't an attack at all.

Rather, it is a natural phenomenon that occurs when Ye Zuochen's anti-fate force is powerful enough to distort reality and rewrite fate, and when he "decides the future".

Ye Zuochen merely "decided" their future of being slapped and having their legs crushed. The unimaginably heavy existence itself instantly distorted cause and effect, skipping the entire "attack" process and directly presenting the "result" in reality.

“M-Mercy!!”

Ge Zongci no longer had any of his previous arrogance and stubbornness. The immense pain and fear of death made him burst into tears. He could only wail towards Ye Zuochen: "You are right! You are right!! Japan... No! The whole world should submit to you! Great King! Please... Please spare my life! I am willing to do anything for you! Anything!!"

Ye Zuochen looked down at Ge Zongci who was wriggling in a pool of blood.

"Who told you that the wreckage of the 'Holy Annihilator' at the bottom of the Sacred Rope Lake could send everyone to the so-called 'Other Realms'?"

Ge Zongci was trembling all over at the sight. The fear of death overwhelmed everything. He ignored the pain of his broken leg and struggled to scream, "It's... it's a wandering vampire couple! The man is very tall, at least 1.9 meters! He has short gray hair and a slender figure like an iron tower! The woman... is a red-haired beauty, very beautiful!"

He described it incoherently, trying to grasp at the last straw.

"Ah……"

Ye Zuochen suddenly laughed, and said sarcastically, "Blind man, the dignified Forgotten War King appeared before you, and you just treated him as a wandering vampire."

“Forget… Forget the War King?!!”

These four words were like thunder from a clear sky, exploding in every surviving consciousness.

Himeragi Setsuna covered her swollen and painful cheek, her eyes instantly widened with extreme shock.

Kirasaka Sayaka, who was supporting her, suddenly contracted her pupils, and the knuckles of her fingers holding "Kuroka Lin" turned white from being pinched.

Even though the other sword wizards fell to the ground, the blood instantly drained from their faces, and only disbelief and horror remained in their eyes.

The first true ancestor!

The existence standing at the pinnacle of vampires actually...

"The entire street below the shrine is already filled with the First True Ancestor's personal guards." Ye Zuochen shook his head slightly, as if mocking a group of fools dancing under the hunter's gun. "And you're still here, gloating?"

puff--

The moment the words fell, a thick white fog suddenly filled the open space in the center of the shrine without any warning!

The mist rolled as if it had life, condensing into an elegant and upright figure.

It was the Forgotten War King—Ziyi Julanbarada!

He was dressed in easy-to-move trousers and a vest, his short grey hair was meticulously combed, and his tall figure embodied a silent power as terrifying as the abyss.

His eyes calmly swept across the mess and blood on the ground, and fell on Ye Zuochen.

Almost at the same time as he appeared, countless figures emerged from the darkness around the shrine like ghosts.

They were dressed in pitch-black special operations uniforms, their faces covered with cold tactical goggles, and they held advanced magical weapons that flashed with faint blue light. They occupied the walls, roofs, and branches of ancient trees, forming an impenetrable encirclement outside the shrine.

It is the most elite personal guard of the First True Ancestor!

Qi Yi's eyes met Ye Zuochen's, and he slowly spoke: "Cain's purpose...I have been thinking about it for a long time.

"Now, I finally got a glimpse of the truth."

"Tell me, visitor from another world, do you intend to continue along that established track?"

"Kill all the vampires on earth, refine their lives into 'immortality elixir', and spread it to all of humanity, granting them eternal life. But also imprison them forever on this dying planet, until they drown in the dust of time?"

Ye Zuochen asked in return, "Your Excellency, the Great Forgotten War King, what do you think?"

Qi Yi's eyes remained calm. "Vampires are already new humans. All vampires are transformed from humans. There's no need to create a twisted 'celestial being' race to replace us."

"Oh?" Ye Zuochen's lips curled up in a cold arc, "What if I say... no?"

The sound was very soft, but it carried a heavy pressure like a star falling to the ground.

Qi Yi was silent for a moment, then slowly raised a hand and pointed at Ye Zuochen: "Then I can only 'exile' you here."

boom! !

The moment Qi Yi finished speaking, the calm surface of the distant Shensheng Lake looked as if it had been bombarded with tons of explosives.

A blood-red pillar of light, as thick as the one supporting the heavens and the earth, carrying a destructive torrent of magical power, broke through the surface of the lake and shot straight into the lead-gray sky.

The light suddenly distorted and the earth trembled slightly!

A sense of fear that came from the instinct of life, like an icy tide, instantly flooded the hearts of everyone present.

Ye Zuochen tilted his head slightly, his gaze fixed on the pillar of magical light that was tearing through the heavens and earth. "Tsk, even the Eye of Extinction can't help but come?"

……

Shensheng Lake, the center of the lake with calm water.

A simple wooden altar made of small boats floats above it, like an ancient Kagura stage.

In the center of the altar, a figure stood alone.

Elsword Gul Aziz, known as the "Eye of Extinction," wore a crimson gown embellished with gold, so luxurious it was almost enchanting. Complex lace and ribbons wrapped around her slender figure.

Her long purple hair was carefully tied into two playful ponytails, falling over her shoulders.

The face was as delicate as a doll, and the fair skin seemed transparent in the sunlight. However, in those blood-red eyes, there was a terrifying magic that was completely opposite to this sweet appearance and was enough to annihilate everything.

Beneath the shell of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl lies an ancient and terrifying soul.

Om-! ! !

With him as the center, an invisible but earth-shaking torrent of magical power erupted.

The calm lake surface suddenly sank, forming a huge whirlpool.

The magic power is like an invisible giant hand, stirring the deep lake water violently!

Beneath the lake, there is a dark depth that is difficult for sight to penetrate.

A black mass so huge that it was frightening, like a dormant ancient giant egg, was wriggling violently under the pull of Elsodgul's magic.

Its surface is not covered by rocks or biological shells, but by a film that constantly changes shape and appears to be composed of pure dark energy.

This thin film is like a tough living seal, tightly imprisoning the destructive energy inside that is about to get out of control.

The surface of the film was like boiling asphalt, bulging and twisting irregularly, and the vibrations caused the entire lakebed to resonate. The suppressed fluctuations were like billions of hearts beating at the same time, indicating that the destructive force inside had accumulated to the limit and could break through its constraints at any time!

Around this giant black egg, dozens of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft with flashing blue indicator lights are swimming silently like ghost fish in the deep sea.

Click!

A piercing sound like billions of panes of glass shattering at the same time suddenly exploded from deep within the lake.

The black film that was struggling to hold on suddenly collapsed under the impact of the violent force inside and the guidance of the Eye of Extinction outside.

boom!

The calm surface of Shensheng Lake was like being thrown with tons of explosives. A huge water column with a diameter of tens of meters, carrying countless black fragments and indescribable energy turbulence, rose into the sky like an angry dragon.

The broken waves rushed hundreds of meters into the sky.

“Hiss—!!!”

"唳——!!!"

A sharp and strange whistle mixed with the buzzing of bees and the hissing of snakes resounded, and countless black shadows swarmed out from the gushing water column and the broken lake surface like a swarm of locusts breaking through the gates of hell.

They have a nightmarish appearance, four meters long, with a ferocious compound-eyed wasp head connected to a winding and twisting snake-like torso, huge pterodactyl-like leathery membrane wings growing on the back, and a snake tail covered with disgusting mucus swinging wildly behind them.

The texture of the monster was extremely strange. It was clearly an organic life form made of flesh and blood, but its skin shone with artificial reflections like metal or ceramic.

It looks like both a bee and a snake, and is a deformed creation that distorts technology and magic - the bee snake!

The swarm of bee snakes that covered the sky was like a dark cloud of death sweeping by, making a deafening and terrifying buzzing sound, flapping their huge membranous wings, and with a hunger to destroy everything, they madly rushed towards the deep mountains where the Kamiota Shrine was located, and pounced on them like an overwhelming force!

……

Qiyi Zhulanbarada's gaze slowly swept over Himeragi Xuecai, who was covering her cheek with a look of astonishment, and fell on Xiao Lingcai who was beside Ye Zuochen.

"What are you going to do?"

Qi Yi tilted his head slightly, indicating the destructive light column rising into the sky in the direction of Shensheng Lake and the monster's roar that followed.

"Are you going to fight me here and continue this pointless battle, or are you going to leave immediately and rescue that girl's other 'gene provider'?"

"What?!" Himeragi Setsuna suddenly looked up, her brown eyes widened in shock, and she subconsciously looked at Akatsuki Reina.

Kirasaka Sayaka also instantly focused her gaze over there.

The two extremely similar yet different temperamental faces of the girls formed a thrilling contrast in the dim light.
