"Forget it, Echo. We are not good allies, you haven’t weakened Campari, and I haven’t helped you... you have your path, and I have mine."
A feeling of melancholy flashed by, and at this moment, Yafada roared: "The Unyielding Fortress, if you know the truth of the past, then Campari is our common enemy!"
"Let’s take him down first, and talk about the rest later!"
"That’s exactly what I intend."
Ian responded simply, with no hesitation, immediately teaming up with Yafada, attacking Campari from left and right.
[Humph... two youngsters] Googlᴇ search novèlfire.net
Enraged, Campari let out a laugh. In the fierce gust of wind brought by the combined attack of the dragon and the heir of the Silver Gate’s blood, he shouted, raised both arms, and then clenched the air!
It’s impossible to describe the power of that grip.
At that moment, the ’Dust Mist World Tree’ vibrated violently, nine massive tentacles supporting the three embryonic forms of a Subspace Labyrinth, then squeezed them to pieces — and in the instant the labyrinth shattered, whether it was the trio inside the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon or Yafada, they all felt a blur before their eyes, their surroundings shook violently, and in the blink of an eye, their entire bodies were in disarray, not knowing where they were.
The Subspace Labyrinth is essentially a ’realm where void and reality overlap’ formed from human beliefs, curses, or blessings. Here, matter can be transformed into spirit, and spirit can also materialize.
The Domain Blood has the ability to open its own realm within the void, which is the Subspace Labyrinth’s capability. This is their fortress and residence, and naturally, it can also be turned into a weapon!
As the Subspace Labyrinth shattered, the vast amount of mental power originally accumulated by Campari within it poured out in the most chaotic and terrifying manner, instantly tearing apart the ’Exotic Species Research Institute’s testing grounds’ where they had been. What was once a barren, rocky world turned into complete ashes in a flash, as endless earth and stone exploded, carrying a force capable of crushing mountains, sending the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon and Yafada flying!
But at this moment, Campari showed no intention of pursuing them — he turned around and ran, heading directly for the exit of the void!
Fight? What a joke! Not to mention Yafada’s plan surely being wave after wave, and there will definitely be other reinforcements arriving any moment. That Madhi next door who managed to counter-kill the Fourth Energy Level Labyrinth Master is already terrifying enough!
If he can use a trump card to kill the Labyrinth Master, can’t he also use it to kill me? Back in the day, Inega II was the strongest Spirit Energy User, who knows what tactics he and Hiliard left on that little guy, but in any case, I definitely don’t want to try as a Split Soul.
[I need to get this information to the main body — the main body probably thinks it’s just a simple Ten Kings Blood civil war, but it’s not... they surely have deeper plans]
Just as Campari made the only ’correct choice.’
He heard the sound of a girl sighing.
[I’m sorry, Old Ancestor]
’Golan’s body came to a halt, the elven girl, her hair already white, smiling faintly, yet filled with fury: [What do you mean by this, Golan?!]
[You betrayed the Domain Blood, betrayed The Pillar Party... you betrayed me?!]
[It’s a choice] Activating the backdoor within her body, forcibly pausing her body’s movements, Golan’s soul calmly explained: [Old Ancestor, if you had let me act independently from the start, if you had found someone else to possess, then I definitely wouldn’t have betrayed you]
[But...] Saying this, one could seem to faintly see the regretful shake of the soul of the girl: [Who told you to truly treat me as your combat tool and blood pack?]
[You’ve colluded with them long ago!] Campari suddenly realized: [I see, no wonder none of you were afraid I’d escape, no wonder all of you knew exactly where I was — tell me, Golan, how many others in the National Domain Department have betrayed me? Or is it other members of the Ten Kings Blood...]
Golan smiled slightly: [Who told me to be your appointed Master Throne successor... yet you wanted to live a second life?]
At this moment, the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon and Yafada, who had been pushed back by Campari’s full Aether True Body attack, had caught their breath, and they resumed their attack, chasing after him. Campari couldn’t help but grit his teeth: [Not to mention I’m just a Split Soul, even if I die, you absolutely can’t get the ’Master Throne Inheritance’... the Master Throne of the Ten Kings Blood is shared, why would The Sustenance Party hand over my original body’s Master Throne to a traitor like you?]
[Haha] Golan laughed lightly: [That’s because Dragon Island, the Fae, and the Four Great Orthodox Churches serve as witnesses — besides, the opposition between the Ten Kings Blood should have ended long ago]
[Old Ancestor... haven’t you realized yet?]
[I’m no longer an elf]
At that moment, as the original owner of the body, briefly regaining control, Golan forcibly pulled out a piece of bone from the back of her neck.
It was the Signal Bone... and embedded within it was a radiant electronic Core Chip!
Having always protected this chip with her soul, and her soul residing within the chip, Golan tossed her Soul Chip to Yafada, who gently caught it, using the last remaining connection to Campari: [This is the path we’ve found for the future of the elves]
[Long life, incredible agility and computing power, terrifying Essence Manipulation ability, and an almost immortal soul carrier...]
[We will reshape our bodies, replacing fragile and perishable flesh with eternal and perfect metal]
[I’ve long not wanted this body, let it serve as a sacrifice for your Split Soul, Old Ancestor]
[You’ll regret this, Golan, this is a betrayal to Canaan Moore] Campari snarled through gritted teeth, yet Golan was indifferent: [But I am the master of this body, and this is the best choice for Canaan Moore]
[Even if you learn the underground news from outside, choose to destroy the Master Throne so I can’t obtain it... there’s still Anfa, who might receive the new Fifth Energy Level Inheritance Dragon Elf]
[That’s why I’m jealous of Anfa... His mother loves him so much, while I only have you, Old Ancestor]
[You weren’t even willing to give me the opportunity to become a Fifth Energy Level]
Golan’s communication was abruptly cut off, and how could Campari not understand the meaning behind all this?
So, this is The Sustenance Party’s response to the Pillar Department’s ’Celestial Elf’ plan... Mechanical ’Eternal Elves.’
That’s why the computing power in World Tree City has significantly increased, because The Sustenance Party has mastered the technology of mechanical uploading and soul chips.
Defeated. I was too eager for a second life, yet I didn’t open my eyes to see the world.
At this moment, Campari could still escape, still waste time, still continue with futile resistance.
But, this Split Soul simply stood dumbfounded in place, offering no resistance as Ian, controlling the dragon, sealed the Subspace Labyrinth changes with permissions, and Yafada used full power to pierce his body with the Rainbow Key.
Following this, the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon opened its great maw, crushing the Aether True Body of the Dust Mist World Tree.
— The sun should go out.
At that moment, all he could think of was this one sentence: "I see... I see. This time, it’s my turn?"
"Betrayed by my own kind, betrayed by the successor of the next generation, and dying before the tide of a new era..."
The aged soul looked towards the direction where ’Mahdi’ was, and couldn’t help but show a bitter smile: "But even in this, I’ve lost to you all..."
Under the combined efforts of the three New Era Sublimators, Campari’s Split Soul lost consciousness.
The sunset glow of Canaan Moore... welcomed the prelude to its extinction.
