Chapter 825: Chapter 566: The Rising “Red Moon”!_3 Chapter 825: Chapter 566: The Rising “Red Moon”!_3 “I’m sick of you throwing around ‘necessary sacrifice’ like it’s nothing!”

“I’m tired of you constantly scheming ‘Red Moon’…”

“And all your talk of greatness!”

“This punch is for the people of The Seventh Box Garden World!”

“This punch is for the ‘Father of the Ocean’!”

“This punch is because you talk too damn much!”

Colin straddled his opponent, his face twisted in rage, as he pummeled the Rat, smashing from its skull, sternum, to its limbs—gradually breaking them all into pieces.

Blood and bone shards sprayed everywhere.

Countless unseen swarms of rats frantically surged forward as if trying to save their master.

However, no matter how many came, they burned to ashes like moths to a flame…

Meanwhile, as he continued punching, pleas and screams from the Rat echoed in Colin’s mind.

“Let me go, let me go…”

“No! You can’t kill me! Everything is already set in motion, you cannot! Once I die, some of the constraints that I, as the ‘responsible party,’ have put in place will fail, and the true instinctual consciousness of ‘Red Moon’ will break free!”

“Once it ascends and returns to its body, everything will end…”

“Those ancient beings will also disrupt the world…”

“Let me go; I can be your aid, even though the path of the ‘Primordial Fire’ is highly uncertain, if you win, I am willing to admit…”

“No…”

“Everything I did was for humanity, without sacrifice, there can be no future, you have no right to judge me, who has made such significant contributions to humanity!”

Roars kept emerging in Colin’s mind, initially causing some mental shocks and attempting to persuade Colin to listen, but unfortunately, as the punches fell, its voice grew weaker.

As its body continuously turned to mush, its consciousness got more blurred, and in a daze, it seemed to see a dreamlike scene…

In this scene, it successfully merged into the core of “Red Moon,” swallowing all the high-level containment subjects it had secured, fulfilling its desire—

All existing humans unified under its leadership into a grand new race!

Countless lives sang praises of its glorious deeds.

However…

For some reason, the scene cracked.

“No!”

It attempted to grasp it, but alas, a flame consumed everything.

“You’ll regret it; the ‘Flame Bearer’ you yearn for can’t sustain this era …”

With those hate-filled final words, the Rat, now fully turned into mush, was definitively dead.

“Clap, clap, clap—”

Sounds of countless firecrackers exploding echoed from all directions, and those invisible “Rats” started exploding one by one.

Colin staggered to his feet, his face and the skin under his clothes full of cracks from which blood constantly seeped out, adding to the side effects from a slew of high-level tools; he looked as though he might collapse at any moment.

The combat didn’t last very long, just over an hour…

Yet, it was perhaps the most intense time he had ever used the Golden Card.

Every card, used at least seven times in a short span!

Had his physique not extensively improved from before, the side effects alone might have been unbearable.

After a brief respite, Colin took out a “Golden Seal”, and a thick, tangible light, white as milk, spilled from the Seal into his body, alleviating the negative effects within.

At the same time, taking advantage of the moment, he took a deep breath, using the flame from “Revolver Reverser” to stabilize himself, pushing back the dense blood traces cut by spatial displacement to prevent turning into a pool of himself.

Once both actions took effect, he felt much better.

He regained consciousness from the bizarre time perception disarray and severe symptoms like a heavy head and light feet.

Then, Colin looked toward the front, bent down, and picked up a Golden Card from what looked like a mushy corpse…

“Space: Transposition”!

‘That cutting, it was like slightly shifting space like a Rubik’s cube, but it really utilized it to a great extent…’

What surprised Colin was its integrity, which was 99%!

This was his first time encountering a tool so close to a hundred percent intact.

‘Is this why one card could suppress the other cards? Just missing a few points made such a huge difference! Nearly crushing me with several Golden Cards!’

Colin, still astonished, couldn’t linger on that thought as, at that moment, following the Rat’s complete death, a terrifying anomaly suddenly occurred!

He, no, including him, all humans, whether Extraordinary Ones or ordinary people, felt a strong palpation emerge out of nowhere.

“Thump! Thump! Thump!”

Heart pounding violently as though having a heart attack, so painful it turned faces pale, teeth chattering, and cold sweat dripping.

However, besides the physical pain, what made everyone tremble and panic even more was a vision that started to emerge in everyone’s mind, arising from their inspiration, whether clear or vague.

A modern yet ancient city floating above the sea’s surface, somehow merging with reality…

From this ancient city, a fantastical yet solid scarlet celestial body, following the Rat’s death, finally seemed to break free from some kind of spatial-binding restraint, flying out from the city.

Then, without stopping for any creature in the real world, it ascended towards the sky at neither a fast nor slow pace…
