Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'
Chapter 699: Light without darkness

Chapter 699: Light without darkness

Thud!

The moment Nariya’s face made contact with the impact, dozens of protective spells and energy shields flashed, but unsurprisingly, under the absolute pressure of strength, they were subsequently shattered.

"Protect the young lady!" the nearby Gambler shouted loudly, then immediately ducked into a nearby cover.

Nariya’s bodyguards rushed to try to save her, but this action would soon become one of their most regrettable decisions.

Leoz’s skull, like a missile, accompanied by kinetic impact, triggered the implanted virus within the Implant Gear, releasing ferocious energy from the Super Gene, shattering and releasing outward.

And within this head of Implant Gear, the Arcane Energy installed by Li Aozi was "Sequence 82: Bloodline."

"Good evening, guys."

At the dance floor, Li Aozi raised a glass of wine and toasted the others:

"Welcome to the second dimension..."

Without any delay, the next moment, the Dimensional Barrier instantly expanded, spreading out in all directions, and the two closest bodyguards were instantly dropped into two-dimensional space, vanishing without a trace.

However, the secondary disasters had only just begun—the space of the nightclub was torn apart and damaged, a disco ball on the second floor suddenly appeared in the chest of a guest, a young man who was still dancing suddenly found that his palm had been replaced with a bottle of liquor, and a woman screamed in horror, finding two drunkards’ heads had suddenly appeared in her arms.

"Dimensional attack, this method—shouldn’t this be the way of Sequence 82?"

’Ice Demon’ Dugen Gorath exclaimed in surprise.

"I told you, he killed Sequence 82."

Priestess Alia murmured, raising her hand to pull off the beer opener that had suddenly moved onto her thigh, blood dripping out together with flesh, but as she clasped her hands, her body emitted a black corrupt life force, and the minor wound was instantly healed.

Killing Sequence 82 and even absorbing his Arcane Energy, huh? Interesting."

As for the Dimensional Barrier, he was not concerned, but casually pushed against the expanded Dimensional Barrier, with an ice crystal storm expanding around him. Relying on raw strength, he directly neutralized the effect of the Arcane Energy and slowly walked towards Li Aozi:

"It seems you truly have some skill."

Li Aozi, with his non-existent head tilted, the gray space fluctuation above his neck burning bright and eye-catching, glanced at Priestess Alia:

"’The Fallen Beauty’ Alia Seston?"

"Oh?" Alia raised an eyebrow: "I haven’t heard of myself having such a nice title."

"Because you have not yet entered the core game. By the time you get that title, you’ll have already turned into the shape of a Descender."

Li Aozi spoke cryptically and then glanced at Dugen, blurting out:

"’Ice Demon’ Dugen Gorath, the traitorous mercenary of Valkyrie Fortress, in the Polar Operation task, because of your overconfidence, you triggered the Little Ice Age of Pearl Star, and due to your actions, you caused the death of 163 million people due to the cold, crop failures, blizzards, dynastic changes, and foreign invasions, resulting in your life sentence and permanent imprisonment by the Interstellar Tribunal."

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Dugen Gorath was unconcerned:

"You seem to remember it clearer than I do. I didn’t expect such a conscientious junior like you to keep records about me. Thank you very much—Leoz."

"You’re welcome, the one who drops the ’Ice Crystal Grimoire’ and the Crystalline Staff Sword."

Li Aozi nodded, offering his profound respect to this beloved senior repeatedly farmed by players.

"How fortunate I am to have encountered the two of you who burst with gold coins diligently—truly admirable warriors—just before advancing on my pathway,"

"You’re quite perceptive,"

Alia said, waving her hand casually and casting a miracle to first secure Nariya’s life. She stood tall, her chest heaving, and positioned herself tremblingly in front of Nariya:

"You’ve feigned death all this way, surely searching for the mastermind behind the scenes? But I’m truly sorry, in the presence of a revered priestess like me, I don’t wish for anyone to die; thus, no soul can return to the Nether Abyss."

"Canyue’s Arcane Energy is indeed powerful, but for us of the same Zeta rank, aside from being difficult to kill, that’s pretty much it—not to mention, you can’t possibly have the same developmental methods as Canyue. It’s just Sequential Arcane Energy, I’ve seen it all before,"

Dugen lifted his pale hand, his eyes turning ice blue:

"Canyue is no match for me, let alone you, facing nearly a hundred Zeta-grade powerhouses in this entire nightclub!"

He was right.

Behind him, a group of Grave Star Cluster criminals, disturbed and startled by Li Aozi, recovered their senses and swiftly grabbed their weapons and gear. Even the nightclub’s security guards, with grim expressions, clenched their knuckles and approached, their bodies swelling with Qi Energy, also at Zeta rank.

"Leo, it looks like you’re still alive, good. It seems losing your head didn’t pose a big problem for you—this makes you even more valuable."

Nariya was brought back by Life Origin Force, her jaw bone visibly healing at a rapid pace, the peeled skin on her face also being rearranged and fitted back, though her features were skewed, which together with her confident expression, created an indescribably eerie oddness.

She closed her eyes, her fingers tapping rapidly on an imaginary abacus, then opened them again and smiled slightly:

"Increased by 7%, congratulations."

"It seems you have many things on you to save your life."

Li Aozi spoke lightly:

"The dimensional bombardment didn’t affect you, you have Zeta-rank protective charms on you, right?"

"If you think you can sow discord by flaunting wealth, then there’s no need to waste your energy."

Nariya smiled:

"This place, it’s not your normal Layer Abyss planet."

The Gambler Dunzton silently appeared behind Nariya, releasing the undiluted aura of a Zeta-rank Ascender.

"Do you know where this place is?"

Nariya seemed unconcerned, she opened her hands and confidently said:

"This is Grave Star Cluster!"

The disturbed guests raised their rifles and cannons, some even donned a set of powered armor, looking unhappily toward Li Aozi.

"This is a pit of moral depravity in the civilization of Layer Abyss, the most shameless, barbaric, savage criminals in this layer of the cosmos gather here."

Priestess Alia and Dugen Gorath slowly paced

"They don’t care if you’re the president of a country or a nobody. There are no morals, no laws here—anyone who offends them will face ruthless retaliation! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

The nightclub’s bartenders, staff, and DJs, even the scantily clad waitresses, kept to their tasks unperturbed, the DJ even loudly asking: "What music do you want for the fight?"

"I sincerely recommend electronic dance music," a semi-mechanical Modified Human blandly said.

"Scenes like this only belong in cartoons—DJ, give us some animated flair!" a girl with pink hair held up a ceremonial device, while shadows behind her slowly crawled with specters and lost souls.

"Let’s keep it elegant, play some jazz," a muscular man, clad with an exploding muscle physique and a Martial Artist, tied a red bow around himself and then pulled out a chainsaw greatsword from his luggage.

"Punk!" "Of course, it’s disco." "How about 8bit"...

Different species, different voices overlapping, each demanding completely different music.

The only thing uniform was their mocking and disgusted gazes toward Li Aozi.

"Do you see? This is the power you’re up against!"

Nariya said indifferently:

"You have angered them now."

Li Aozi’s headless body stood isolated in the center of the nightclub’s dance floor.

"No matter how much you resist, Mr. Leoz, if you come with me peacefully, I can still pay them off for you," she said.

Guns were set up all around him, targeting him, with hidden magic enveloping him, specter’s cursed whispers constantly murmuring in his ears, the searing heat of Qi Energy close at hand, he even sensed the toxic fumes from a Biochemist...

The criminals here united as one to beat up this uninvited guest.

Clearly, this was Nariya’s trick; she had realized early on that Leoz might resist.

"Leoz Dominet, you have two choices," she stated.

Li Aozi slipped his hands into his pockets.

"Either follow us and help us narrate the Grand Narrative of capital, letting us exploit the world together,"

He calmly selected his outfit on the system interface.

"Or, would you rather fight against more than a hundred angry Zetas to the bitter end?"

Nariya said with a slight smile, extending an olive branch toward Li Aozi:

"Tell me, how do you choose?"

Snap.

Li Aozi slipped into the Scavenger’s attire, still stained with the fresh blood and the frosty air from his struggles in the Outer World.

The oppressive force from hundreds of Zeta Ranked, forming tangible gusts of wind, blew the brown duster up high. It opened wide like the wings of a giant dragon.

"Have you made your choice?"

Nariya calmly asked:

"Tell me, what’s your choice—"

"Sequence 13."

Li Aozi raised his hands, and instantly, shadows and brilliance divided into two pathways across his body.

Sacred light floated from nowhere, transforming into an angel with pristine white wings and golden armor, wielding a sword, exuding a scorching brilliance. The next moment, a heat wave, like a tsunami, ignited the earth and the air, plunging the world into a purgatorial heat.

Dark shadows sank into the earth, stirring unsettling bubbles like a mire. Soon after, from the deep dark, a sinister and menacing goat-headed demon slowly emerged. It opened its mouth wide, swallowing the light from people’s eyes.

The brilliant midday, the tranquil midnight.

"—[Dark Light]."

[You have cast a Arcane Energy skill, Dark Light surveys, eyeing the original sins of humanity.]

[Conducting a Bloodline Rank judgment, a judgment against lineage, if the opponent’s Bloodline Rank is below yours, the judgment passes.]

[Sequence 82: Bloodline Activation!]

[Your Supreme Bloodline ascends above all beings!]

[Bloodline judgment forcibly passes!]

"Huh?"

Priestess Alia suddenly shivered, looking down as golden flames began to burn at her fingertips:

"What’s happening? Hey, Ice Demon—heal using your magic."

"...I can’t."

Consumed by the night, the Ice Demon’s body became pitch-black, absorbing light from around. He raised his formless palm and said in horror:

"—Magic has been prohibited!"

"It burns! It burns! What the hell is this fire?"

"Why, even if magic is prohibited—it’s also disabled the automatic fire extinguishing systems!"

"My night vision talent has been disabled! What kind of power is this?"

Light and darkness give birth to each other.

Sigh...

"I don’t know where you got the confidence, thinking you can defeat me."

Li Aozi sighed:

"The lost lambs will be led home by someone, but those who are lost must pay the price for their intrusion."

The next moment, he quickly lowered his raised hands.

Like the bell of doomsday, offering judgment for this sinful world.

"Ah ah—fuck! It’s actually burning the soul directly!"

In the tide of golden flames, Alia struggled painfully. In a daze, she smelled a strange scent.

When she turned around, all she saw were rows of salt pillars, standing like a forest in the middle of the nightclub’s dance floor.

Their expressions lifelike.
