Chapter 1522: Chapter 1520: All Things Return to One
"It’s a success!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and immediately everyone started cheering.
"It’s a success!"
"It’s really a success!"
The man in the Blue Robe held his Magic Wand, looking around the scene, seemingly enjoying the moment.
Then, the man in the Blue Robe made a shushing gesture and spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, to be honest, it’s only half a success now. When I reach the other side of the Space Hole, to the farthest Plane in history, or even the edge of the Void, and figure out what’s there, then it will be a complete success. So, wait for my good news, I’ll be back soon."
Saying this, the man in the Blue Robe stepped closer to the opened Space Hole, trying to step in.
At this moment, the Space Hole suddenly trembled, and before the man in the Blue Robe could react, something fell out from inside.
What fell out was a mass of milky-white light, about a meter in diameter, which directly hit the man in the Blue Robe.
Then it was seen that the parts of the man in the Blue Robe that came into contact with the milky-white light mass—including a leg and part of his torso—vanished instantly, as if dissolved by strong acid.
The man in the Blue Robe was stunned, and the whole crowd was stunned, clearly not having anticipated this situation.
About a full second later, the man in the Blue Robe screamed in pain and fell to the ground, and the people in the crowd finally started to react, blinking and realizing something was wrong.
At this time, after "devouring" part of the man in the Blue Robe’s body, the milky-white light mass seemed like it had been charged, and it began to expand bit by bit, approaching the fallen man in the Blue Robe.
Usually, even if cut in half, the man in the Blue Robe would have the ability to cast a Spell to move, but at this moment, for some reason, it seemed like he lost all Extraordinary Power after being injured. Watching the milky-white light mass approach, the man in the Blue Robe could only scream miserably while crawling away awkwardly.
But his crawling speed was too slow, and within a few seconds, he was caught by the milky-white light mass, and his remaining leg disappeared into the white light.
"Help... help me!" The man in the Blue Robe cried out with a twisted expression.
Finally, someone in the crowd fully reacted. A Red-robed Girl leapt in with a single foot, jumping from the crowd into the square, reaching the man in the Blue Robe’s side, picking up the remaining half of his body, and heading out of the square to find a specialized Healing Wizard.
The food that was about to be consumed was suddenly snatched away, which seemed to anger the milky-white Light Ball. The next moment, the Light Ball started to pulsate, and a few seconds later, with a "whoosh", it expanded dramatically.
Originally over a meter in diameter, in the blink of an eye, it grew to over ten meters, then thirty meters, fifty meters, seventy meters...
The square was rapidly occupied, and the milky-white Light Ball continued to expand, pursuing the Red-robed Girl and engulfing bystanders on the edge of the square.
"Ah!"
"No!"
"Run!"
Some unfortunate bystanders hadn’t reacted before screaming and being engulfed by the milky-white Light Ball; others quickly turned and fled after seeing the fate of their companions.
There were also some bystanders who chose to wave Fireballs and Thunder, attacking the milky-white Light Ball. They treated the milky-white Light Ball as a dangerous Strange Species, trying to find its weakness and kill it.
But the milky-white Light Ball faced the attacks without the slightest effect, continuing to expand until it reached the attackers, engulfing them, then growing to over a thousand meters in diameter, beginning to consume the entire Strange City.
At this time, the remaining survivors became extremely frantic, desperately fleeing the city.
And the Giants used as an inn within the city also began to rise, striding out of the city.
But this only barely delayed the inevitable outcome for a moment.
Before long, the fleeing people were swallowed by the milky-white Light Ball. The Giant ran desperately away, but the light was getting closer and closer; after running a distance, the Giant couldn’t help but look back, and at that moment of hesitation, the white light passed over his massive body, making him disappear into the white light.
At this time, only a few individuals, including the Red-robed Girl, continued fleeing.
Apparently, the Red-robed Girl didn’t have a chance to find a Healing Wizard, cradling the man in the Blue Robe, who’s left with only half his body, in her arms like a baby, becoming almost like a meteor skimming the ground, desperately flying forward, hoping for more time alive.
During the flight, blood continuously oozed from her mouth, looking somewhat terrifying, as a result of her earlier attempt to cast Space Magic to escape. During the process, due to the surroundings being strongly disturbed, the Spell failed, causing a backlash and injury. If not for a Magic Pendant she wore, which timely activated to block most of the backlash, she might have died on the spot. However, she was still gravely injured.
At this moment, the Red-robed Girl, carrying the man in the Blue Robe, was escaping in complete despair.
She had no idea what the milky-white light mass chasing behind her was, or why it was so terrifying, but no matter what it was, it seemed she couldn’t truly escape it.
"Cough cough cough!"
Just as she thought this, the Red-robed Girl had a severe coughing fit, the injury from the Spell backlash worsening, causing her to suddenly lose her balance, falling to the ground with the man in the Blue Robe.
The milky-white light mass behind was originally a distance away, but with this opportunity, it closed in quickly, and seeing the next second would engulf the Red-robed Girl, she couldn’t help but close her eyes.
Suddenly!
"Boom boom boom!"
Three consecutive explosive sounds erupted in the sky, followed by three blood-red beams over five meters in diameter crashing down, viciously striking the expanding milky-white light mass.
The milky-white light mass was finally affected, its expansion speed halted suddenly, even starting to shrink inward.
The Red-robed Girl was stunned, then looked up at the sky to see a massive Black Shadow approaching, which was a Floating City. The blood-red beams shot just now were from the main cannons of the Floating City, saving her life.
A middle-aged man appeared at the edge of the Floating City, first glancing at the stopped-expanding milky-white Light Ball, then looking toward the Red-robed Girl.
"Father!" The Red-robed Girl called out.
"Shana, come up quickly, it’s very dangerous here now, leave with me." The middle-aged man quickly said.
"Okay." The Red-robed Girl responded without hesitation, swiftly ascending, flying towards the Floating City.
Halfway through her flight, she saw the middle-aged man’s expression change drastically.
"Watch out, Shana!" The middle-aged man shouted.
"What’s..." The Red-robed Girl instinctively turned her head to see the milky-white light mass that had been shrinking, as if it had only been charging, suddenly expanding again. This time, its speed was faster and more terrifying, its volume almost increasing exponentially.
Three thousand meters, ten thousand meters, thirty thousand meters, a hundred thousand meters...
"No..." The Red-robed Girl could only exclaim one word before she disappeared into the white light.
The Floating City in the air was not spared, and soon after was engulfed.
Everything on the ground, everything in the air, within seconds, was devoured by the milky-white Light Ball, zooming out to see, the milky-white Light Ball was visibly consuming the entire world.
Devour, devour, devour...
The explosive growth of the milky-white Light Ball at last occupied the entire field of vision, filling the whole Plane.
"Crash!"
A sound like glass shattering rang out, and immediately the scene dimmed abruptly, turning from all white into pitch black.
All around was silent.
