400: Chapter 86 The Impermanence of All Things and the Law of Cause and Effect_2 400: Chapter 86 The Impermanence of All Things and the Law of Cause and Effect_2 “The method for a counterattack, didn’t you just teach us that?”

Shiyu Genmi thought of a possibility, an almost absurd possibility.

He saw ghostly apparitions within the Six Paths Prison, cloaked in white robes, holding scales in hand; it was the heart manifestation of Shiyu Lianyi…

“Could it be…

the Curse Scale?!”

·

Shiyu Lianyi took a deep breath.

“Kardesia.” He reached out to grasp the joystick, “Just this once.

Can I ask you to share the cost with me?”

The blonde girl looked at the back of her hand.

She discovered that, unbeknownst to her, a golden thread had emerged, linking her and Lianyi together.

It looked just like a red thread of fate.

Kardesia placed her hand over her boyfriend’s hand.

“This time is okay,” she said, pressing closely against the youth’s back, interlocking her free left hand with his.

“For this entire life!”

Shiyu Lianyi smiled relievedly, and they pushed the joystick forward together, allowing Liu Yan to touch the top of the Prison!

Now he could operate this Mechanical God because Rina and Yidou Nengmai’s final assistance temporarily intertwined their connections.

Now, Shiyu Lianyi was able to pay the price together with Kardesia.

As the pilot of Liu Yan, they let the Curse Scale trade at a Creation Realm Level scale!

“The cost is the disintegration of the Artificial Machine God Liu Yan, and that both of us will lose all Extraordinary Abilities within a month!” the eldest son of the Shiyu family roared, “The return, is to make the Void Light Dragon’s ethereal body solidify for one second!”

The scale tilted, the trade completed!

Liu Yan disintegrated inside the Prison, the Void Light Dragon’s body solidified, this loophole-exploiting trade could only last a moment…

Yet for Gongsun Ce at this moment, an instant equaled eternity.

·

Gongsun Ce reached out toward the mountaintop, the Final Sword stuck in the mountaintop moved according to his will, returning to his hand.

The black sword’s movement stirred a wild wind, but became a thin mist in stilled time.

Shiyu Ling’s power allowed his flow of time to momentarily detach from the objective world, the enhancement of the New Moon Realm made everyone’s actions slow like a dream sequence.

The white sealing material was covered with cracks, the power of the Final Sword about to eclipse his control.

The sword’s voice was still echoing in his mind, the device seemed to share a timeline with him.

[Gathering strength][Deathblow]

“Alright, kill him.”

Gongsun Ce gathered power in near-stalled time, using every bit of strength he could muster.

Forming the shadowy Burnt Shadow Spirit Gear, shadows extended from the hem of his robe, black and red light spread like bat wings, sweeping like ocean waves, a nightmare-like power obscured the entire sky in one breath.

The power continued to rise, higher and higher…

The black and red light pierced through the atmosphere, forming an endless realm of destruction between the Earth and the moon, an abyss in space!

A ticking sound came from his pocket watch, his time was about to return to normal.

Gongsun Ce grasped the sword with both hands, he saw the Void Light Dragon’s nearly impregnable ethereal form solidify, becoming tangible.

The woman confronting Shiyu Genmi made her move.

She plunged her hand into the solidified body of the Void Light Dragon and threw out two shadows.

Following, Shiyu Ling leaped from atop the giant dragon, shouting at him:

“Go!”

“Ah, the final strike!”

The second hand finally moved to the next tick, his time returned to normal.

The crumbling mountains, floating boulders, solidified Void Light Dragon, Rina retreating with the pilots…

He watched every scene unfold in that instant, lifting the Final Sword above his head.

“Ruin Wheel of Heaven…”

The black and red sword light extending to space, absorbed fully by the Final Sword.

The Final Sword slashed down, carrying the long-accumulated power, with the desire to end it all.

The nightmarish darkness formed a final cross, etched onto the body of the Void Light Dragon.

“Falling Arc of Light!”

Nothing could block this attack, because his speed surpassed all life in this world; no one could heal these wounds, because the silent force eradicated all life within the Void Light Dragon!

Unlike when he killed the Colored Glaze Dragon, this time Gongsun Ce did not hear any sound.

He only saw black flames engulf everything, the dragon’s body burned to nothing.

The dragon’s form dissipated into light particles, the scattering sword light rose, forming a red and black cross flash in the cosmos.

That was the Fake King’s grave, the Void Light Dragon’s tombstone…

The final judgement against all these brutalities and misdeeds.

·

The Huojin Realm was completely neutralized by the power of the Creator Realm Mage, the effects brought by the Void Light Dragon entirely vanished, and all life on Zero Island returned to normal.

People looked at the red and black cross in the sky, bewildered and confused by everything that took place that morning.

In the aftermath of the giant dragon’s destruction, in an unnoticed corner, a man danced like dust.

Again, he had climbed to the pinnacle of life, glimpsed the dawn of success, and again, that dawn extinguished before his eyes, plunging him into the abyss of despair.

He lost all the power he never truly possessed and reverted to his original frail form.

“Impossible.

Impossible.

Impossible!!!”

He screamed with all his might, howling in self-forgetfulness.

“My schemes!

My plans!

I, Shiyu Genmi, gambled everything on revenge!!!”

He had calculated so much, so much…

even put his life on the line…

using the Curse Scale, using Shiyu Ling, using everything, he truly became the master of fate…

But in the end ironically, it was these very subjects of his experiments that destroyed his plans…

because of an unforeseen accident…

an accident…

why…

“Why?!!!”

At that moment, the man whose lifelong mission was revenge heard another man’s voice.

“I don’t care about your tragic past…”

Equally weak as he.

Equally furious as he.

Equally overwhelmed by intense emotions.

But in that voice, there was a conviction he did not have…

an emotion that this exceptionally talented, incomparable genius of a man had never been able to understand, never learned throughout his life.

Just before losing consciousness, Gongsun Ce roared.

“The moment you laid your poisoned hands on the innocents, Shiyu Genmi!

You were already a vile criminal deserving death a thousand times over!!!”

Dazedly, Shiyu Genmi reached out, trying to touch the dragon that hovered in his vision.

But he could not fly, he was too far from the sky, far too far…

and so, he fell upon the earth, landing in the midst of a desolate plain that was once the site of a shrine.

His vision blurred, almost unable to see anything before him.

But he could still hear sounds, someone approaching him…

Shiyu Genmi strained to open his eyes widely.

The unbelievable sight made him question his own brain.

He saw two children.

A black-haired boy and girl, both wearing experimental garments, frail bodies, but their eyes bright as adults.

The two children took steps closer, the phantoms of their youth faded away, revealing their true faces.

A young man in a suit.

A woman in hunting attire.

His most excellent subjects, his very first subjects.

His son, his daughter.

“Heh, hahaha.”

The man’s final laughter, he didn’t know if it was mocking the world or scoffing at himself.

Now, with the Void Light Dragon thoroughly dead, he saw such an ironic scene.

As if by destiny.

“…fucking fate.”

Shiyu Genmi watched his children pull out a handgun, both grasped the handle together, squeezed the trigger together.

No superfluous words, just a final farewell to their foe.

“Farewell, Father.”

Who said that?

Was it Ling or Lianyi?

Perhaps both spoken together, but he could no longer tell, just heard a gunshot.

The bullet, carrying the force of both, shot out, piercing Shiyu Genmi’s heart, stripping all power from his body, carrying away his last breath of life.

In the final moment of life, Shiyu Genmi vaguely looked up, toward the fruit of his mad plan, the power he longed for his entire life.

The Void Light Dragon, woven from threads of silk, disintegrated in the sword’s crimson light, its Dragon Head burning like a skull.

All power in the sky dispersed, and again, a hazy moon appeared on the horizon.

The contour of the moon overlapped with the skull-like Dragon Head, the faint moonlight illuminating the skull’s expression, as if it were smiling.

That smile held the grudge of the innocents, the rage of those who died because of him, and even the profound mystery that belongs only to the gods.

The vortex was no more, the Void Light Dragon had perished, yet the admonition of the Huojin God remained.

These words had existed since time immemorial and still prevailed today.

They resided in the joy and sorrow of countless people, embodied in the success and failure of countless people, the always valid counsel of thousands of years—

All things are impermanent.

Karma has its retribution!
