Chapter 2614: Chapter 1752: Don’t Come Any Closer!
A green beam of light, resembling a bolt of lightning, erupted from Solomon’s Staff, which Yukine Chris was holding, striking the sky. What everyone saw next was the once clear blue sky being torn open like a ragged cloth, revealing a massive hole. Beyond the hole, countless Noise and bizarre structures that looked like alien constructions could be distinctly seen—this was not a treasury at all, but more like an alternate realm!
"So many........."
Seeing the sea of Monsters on the other side, countless and unending, the crowd’s expressions changed drastically. Although the Noises that attacked humans regularly were no small threat, this was the first time people had directly seen their true numbers as the treasury gate opened—they were as numerous as the stars in the sky!
Could they really defeat these Monsters and secure victory? With so many Noises, humans simply weren’t their opponents. Could it be that this was a mistake from the start, and their ultimate fate was only to face extinction? In that case, what was the point of their efforts and struggles?
For a moment, the emotion named Despair surfaced from the depths of everyone’s hearts, while the blonde woman proudly raised her hands and laughed out loud.
"Hahahahaha, can you see it now, fools! This is the result of your arrogance and pride! The Noises will be completely unleashed, and humanity will perish because of it!"
"Oh."
Duanmu Huai replied quietly.
"What, have you finally fallen into despair to the point of losing your mind?"
The blonde woman looked at Duanmu Huai triumphantly, laughing loudly. She was well aware of Duanmu Huai’s prowess but was absolutely confident he wasn’t her match. After all, in the past era, however strong Duanmu Huai was, he merely eliminated a group of Evil Dragons and Upper Dragons, though she was nearly killed by him at that time. But that was because she had utterly underestimated this opponent.
But now it’s different!
Despite her initial failure and the turn of events, the blonde woman discovered that although this guy was formidable, he had his limits. Furthermore, from the intelligence she gathered during her time among the Star Gods, he seemed to be the Guardian of humans!
So the blonde woman thought of a strategy.
Since humans can reproduce, she just needed to breed enough of them, and when that guy came into this world again, she could use these humans as hostages! By that time, this fearsome guy would naturally become less of a threat! Seeing Duanmu Huai’s silent demeanor now made the blonde woman extremely delighted!
Delighted, truly delighted!
However, Duanmu Huai merely squinted his eyes, staring at her.
"You just said you would release the Noise and destroy humanity in this world, right?"
"That’s right."
"And you also mentioned that most humans in this world have your bloodline, and even if you die, your soul would reincarnate and be reborn in others?"
"Exactly."
"Then it’s simple."
Duanmu Huai yawned.
"Go ahead, release the Noise to kill all the humans in this world, and I’ll just kill you afterward. It’s simpler that way."
"..............."
For a moment, the entire scene fell into complete silence.
Facing Duanmu Huai’s unorthodox response, everyone was stunned.
No, is there anyone like you?
"You think I wouldn’t dare!? You think this scares me?"
The blonde woman gritted her teeth, staring at Duanmu Huai.
"I can easily leave a portion of humans alive and kill the rest!"
"Then you’ll obviously be leaving fewer than you kill, which at least saves me time."
"............"
That’s when the blonde woman realized she had fallen into a bizarre trap.
If she truly released the Noise to kill all humans, she’d be doomed!
But if she didn’t kill them, Duanmu Huai naturally wouldn’t be afraid of her!
No, ultimately.........
"Aren’t you the Guardian of humans? Are you not afraid of human extinction?"
"I come from another world, and there are humans there too, so to me, I save this world’s humans if I can, but if I can’t and they all die, it doesn’t matter."
Duanmu Huai shrugged.
"If they’re all dead, then you’re done by me, and you can’t harm another world."
"............"
Despite being mentally prepared, upon hearing this, even Hei Chuan Chi Yin couldn’t help but look askance.
Is this the flexible moral line of the Tribunal?
Indeed, at all costs to save humanity.
The lesson was learned.
Even Tenpou Zou and Feng Mingyi, who were down on the ground, and Yukine Chris, forced to wield the Magic Wand, were experiencing cerebral atrophy at this moment—originally thought to be a battle between justice and evil. But now it seemed to be a showdown between evil and a greater evil.
Just who is more wicked?
The three looked at the pale, cold-sweating blonde woman, then at Duanmu Huai opposite, who was holding the Chainsaw Sword and grinning grimly.
Suddenly, they were a bit unsure.
Why does it feel that no matter who wins, it wouldn’t be good for humans?
After saying this, Duanmu Huai started to walk slowly towards the blonde woman. His pace was not fast, almost leisurely, but in the eyes of the blonde woman, Duanmu Huai seemed like a savage beast, slowly approaching its prey!
"Don’t come over! You mustn’t come over!"
In a panic, the blonde woman grabbed Yukine Chris beside her, pressing against her neck.
"If you come closer, I’ll kill her!"
However, as soon as she said this, the blonde woman instantly regretted it. The reason she kept Yukine Chris alive was merely because her compatibility was needed to open the treasury door. If she was to kill Yukine Chris, wouldn’t that mean she was effectively shutting the door on the treasury herself?
Wouldn’t this make her less of a threat to Duanmu Huai?
What exactly was going on? Was she threatening him, or was she accidentally trapping herself and threatening herself?
Was she doing the right thing or not?
It’s hard to tell, I really can’t tell!
At this moment, the blonde woman’s mind was utterly chaotic. Logic told her Duanmu Huai was likely bluffing, merely disturbing her thoughts. Yet the fierce murderous intent felt against her skin completely negated the blonde woman’s speculation. Quite clearly, Duanmu Huai genuinely didn’t care about these humans’ lives or deaths! If the blonde woman really intended to control the Noise to eliminate humans, Duanmu Huai genuinely wouldn’t care!
He might even stand by and clap encouragingly!
"You......"
The blonde woman pushed Yukine Chris away and glanced around, momentarily panicked and not knowing what to do.
She had never anticipated this kind of unfolding, honestly, what kind of person is this!
In truth, the blonde woman had known about Duanmu Huai’s arrival early on, and at that time, she was still filled with confidence about her victory. After all, in the previous era, Duanmu Huai hadn’t managed to threaten her; instead, he was driven away by her. Originally, it hoped to pursue him relentlessly, beating him in Duanmu Huai’s world. But unexpectedly, wit was countered by wit, and the powers Duanmu Huai wielded in that world far exceeded the Star Gods’ expectations, leading to it not only failing to descend but also being struck into materialization by a counter from Duanmu Huai.
Yet even thus, being materialized into a human form hadn’t made the Star Gods fear upon seeing Duanmu Huai again. After all, this was its world! Here, it had been operating for so many years, losing here was simply impossible!
Alright, now the problem arises.
This was its world, which meant that even if it was thoroughly destroyed, the opponent wouldn’t care at all! Ultimately, fighting at home and suffering the losses would be its own?
This won’t do.......
"If you have the ability, come and kill me then, I’m keen to see if you have the power!"
The blonde woman bit her teeth, determined to fight Duanmu Huai!
"Don’t worry, I won’t kill you."
Duanmu Huai lifted the Chainsaw Sword and flicked it gently.
"Didn’t you say killing you would cause reincarnation? Then conversely, as long as you’re not killed, your Soul will just be trapped in your current body. So it’s simple, I’ll cut off your hands and feet, put a gag in your mouth, and pack you in a bag to carry around. No need for space. You can live forever, perpetually feeling this pain and Despair, hehe, this is much more interesting than killing you......"
At this point, Duanmu Huai, like recalling something delightful, couldn’t help but laugh aloud.
Meanwhile, everyone else was already pale and trembling, their gaze at Duanmu Huai no different from looking at a mask-wearing killer from a B-grade movie!
The blonde woman gaped in terror, staring at Duanmu Huai approaching her, stumbling and retreating. It was purely an instinct, a life instinct when faced with a threat. Perhaps as a semi-materialized Star God, it couldn’t comprehend life and survival at that time.
But now, in this world, having been forcibly materialized by Duanmu Huai, turning human, its way of thinking was almost similar to humans.
Especially as a life form, the Desire for survival is even more so. Compared to other cunning Star Gods, this Star God was born late, even considered a newborn. Until now, it hadn’t possessed the wisdom akin to its millions-year-old comrades.
No, or......even having such wisdom may be useless!
"Don’t come closer......."
Duanmu Huai remained silent.
"Don’t come closer......"
Duanmu Huai raised the Chainsaw Sword.
"Don’t come closer———!!!"
Accompanied by the blonde woman’s scream, the night sky transformed into countless Monsters, descending from above, charging at Duanmu Huai.
Simultaneously, Duanmu Huai’s Chainsaw Sword roared, tearing through the air, swinging forward!
