Chapter 2248: Chapter 2248: Success and the Turbulent Time-Space Flow
The two sisters entrusted all defenses to their defensive skills. Their right hands seemed to turn into phantoms as arrows burst forth with violent speed. If it weren’t for the intrinsic power of the bows in their hands, they would have long since broken.
No, now the bows in the sisters’ hands were merely shapes; internally, they had already fractured.
To exert their power now, they could only forcibly support it with their own strength.
Even though these bows were the sisters’ origin weapons, it would take a long time to repair them after this.
On the other side, Du You was almost the same, shrinking the dark shield directly against his body, moving forward with instantaneous movement. Violent forces continuously swept around, causing the dark shield to undulate.
At times, forces of unknown origin would tear through the dark shield, leaving scars on Du You. Du You knew that these powers were definitely not of the ninth tier; they had fundamentally reached the tenth tier. Without having the tenth-tier essence, it would be impossible to cut through his dark shield so easily.
Closer, getting closer, Du You’s eyes were fiercely locked on the World Origin’s location.
Finally, upon approaching, the dark power gathered in Du You’s hand, making it seem as if he was holding a black hole in his right hand.
Using the method of the Energy Gathering Magic Cannon, Du You almost completely concentrated all the power he could wield, forming it into a sharp blade. Just at the moment of approaching the world’s will manifestation, he thrust it forth.
The pitch-black blade pierced harshly into the colorful Light Ball, then sank inside. The closer he got, the more resistance he encountered, but Du You didn’t stop. At this moment, the world’s will had no power left to retaliate.
Du You bore the violent forces around him, inching the blade deeper and deeper into the Light Ball. Scars seemed to appear out of thin air on his body, accompanied by his blood spraying around.
The two sisters attacked the rampant forces around Du You crazily, pressing on and getting closer despite the pressure, but their bodies also accumulated more and more wounds. These wounds weren’t easy to dispel.
But now the sisters had eyes only for Du You and paid no attention to their injuries.
The entire world and countless people watched the scene of impending doom around them, unsure of what to feel in their hearts.
Perhaps it was regret, perhaps it was fear, as they all felt that the world had begun to undergo massive changes. The complete destruction of the Outer World further intensified their fear.
They didn’t know what their future held, or even if there was a future at all.
At this moment, people didn’t know whether to resent the World’s Will or those who opposed it, as it made no difference anymore. Just now, those who had been speaking also lifted their heads.
They no longer spoke because nothing they said mattered now, and the people’s will brought no influence or help.
No one knew how long it had passed, as if it were an instant or thousands of years, but in any case, Du You’s blade finally completely sliced through the Light Ball. Then Du You extended his left hand and grasped a small colorful orb inside.
A flash of joy crossed Du You’s face; he had succeeded. With a forceful tug, he pulled the orb out.
Because of its high level, it couldn’t be stored in his personal space, so he could only hold it manually.
But just as Du You was rejoicing, the world’s will launched its final strike. With the World Origin lost, the end of the world’s will was inevitable, but the surrounding forces still remained.
The world’s will couldn’t attack directly but could only do one thing — take the enemy down with it. Violent forces suddenly exploded, attacking in all directions, affecting everything around it.
Du You was the first to bear the brunt, and facing this force, he had almost no ability to resist, being swept up instantly. "It’s cosmic currents; this is bad," was Du You’s last conscious thought.
Consquently, Du You lost all consciousness; this was the first time he had been knocked out since his debut.
From behind came the exclamations of the two sisters, and Du You felt two soft hands gripping him, putting his heart completely at ease.
The violent cosmic currents erupted, instantly sweeping across the entire world. In an instant, all of Du You’s doppelgangers perished simultaneously, as his whole being shattered. This meant that the world’s upper class was almost entirely destroyed at the same moment.
Then, people discovered two even more terrifying things: those strong ones suddenly lost control of their powers one by one, and they just died there in front of them.
All the seventh-tier were annihilated, not a single eighth-tier remained. Among those of tier four to six, only a few survived, and most of those who did survive were driven mad directly, as they had no idea what was happening.
If Du You’s doppelgangers were still around, they would understand that without the World’s Will, the power levels of those whose abilities were forcibly elevated by the World Origin began to backlash. This power was not systemically cultivated, and much of it conflicted with itself fundamentally, so backlash was inevitable.
Those whose powers were weaker did experience backlash, but it was lighter, so it appeared as if nothing was wrong.
The ground was torn apart, many areas of the world shattered, getting swept into the uncontrolled currents, then obliterated.
When those cosmic currents gradually subsided, what was left was a battlefield of utter devastation. Meanwhile, amidst the spatial turbulence outside the world, several presences suddenly appeared.
"My God, who exactly did this? This should have been one of the top-tier worlds, to be hidden in such a place."
"The most terrifying thing is that this world was actually destroyed. Even a peak ninth-tier stronghold couldn’t destroy a world of this scale alone, surely several peak ninth-tiers must have joined forces."
They didn’t know how terrifying a tenth-tier world was, so they could only speculate like this. Suddenly, someone glanced in the direction of Earth, as only that place could produce several peak ninth-tiers.
Unexpectedly, that individual had grown to such a degree, some quietly withdrew their consciousness.
As for not seeing anyone else here, they didn’t care at all. After winning, there was no need to communicate with them, which further frightened countless others.
Even Du You himself didn’t know that by acting in this way, he caused those who originally intended to avenge Earth to shrink back. Even the Abyss, which had been clashing with Earth, chose to fight using mere cannon fodder, with none of the strong daring to show up.
