Thinking this, I gradually walked towards the executioner's outstretched hand. The other party grasped me firmly, heavily and steadily, dragging me toward that cold, void place.

'You will soon be liberated.'

A completely emotionless, utterly numb voice echoed in the depths of my heart:

'At the beginning of Chaos, at the end of the Great Void, returning to the void is the Fate of all things, you need not be afraid.'

'I will carefully Judge your past, and you only need to answer 'yes' or 'no.'

'Regardless of the outcome, your Fate has already ended.'

That would be so good...

I hung my head, unsure of what I even felt anymore.

Just wanting it all to end quickly, this failed, meaningless Life.

"Dragon Faction."

No matter who it is, no one will need me anymore; I am a meaningless existence. Even if they lose me, no one would feel sorrow.

The veil of the Void gradually opened, a terrifying suction dragged me into an endless Abyss.

I was very calm.

People say when you die, a carousel of your memories appears before your eyes, playing out your life like a movie.

But strangely, I did not see my failed life, only Cumin Powder constantly accompanied me, whispering in my ear.

What I saw was only a familiar figure.

Uncertain if it was an illusion, as my Life drew to a close, he slowly turned around.

Yet, I probably would not see his face.

The power of the Void began to erode my entire body, erasing myself in this calm manner, there should not be anyone feeling anxious...

"Dragon Faction—"

Hmm?

Space and Dimensions were instantly torn apart by a tremendous force, an indescribable terrifying aura enveloped the earth.

"Midday Sun Burning Sword!"

Immediately, a searing Heavenly Fire descended from the sky, landing right in front of me!

Crack!

A Demon Sword erected an indestructible blazing wall of Flame before me, the heat wave and shockwave repelled the great hand of the void, which instinctively released its grip, causing me to tumble to the ground, rolling over a few times, the friction of flame waves and sand finally waking me up like a dream.

Rumbling...

The raging flames roared fiercely.

Compared to the purple and turbid Crystallization tainted by the void on one side, this side of the entire land was dyed a blood-like red.

It was not just red.

Passion, fury, courage, vividness.

Plunk.

A tall man's silhouette walked forward, raising his hand to grip the hilt of the City Burner deeply embedded in the earth, speaking calmly:

"Hamarjalay—you take one more step forward, and I'll chop your claw off."

The Void Executioner was slightly surprised, then mocked:

"I wondered who it was—just a mere kid who just came up from the Underwater Abyss, daring to snatch someone from my hands."

Caramel Snail looked up, gazing at that broad back.

"I did not give you permission to die."

Until that moment, Caramel Snail finally saw the face of the figure turned back at the brink of death.

Li Aozi turned his head, his eyes gradually glowing with platinum radiance, pupils vertical like needles, just like Glina back then.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, just uttered:

"I did not give you permission to die, Caramel Snail."

"True General..." Caramel Snail clenched his fist: "I am of no use to you anymore, I have no System, I am purely a waste, I have let down your trust in me... my whole life, I have let down the trust of others."

"The passion of Players for games, cannot be encapsulated merely by a System."

Li Aozi said calmly:

"If you think, without a System, you can't do anything, then you're underestimating yourself."

"But, without a System, what else can I do."

"Yes, I'm curious too, without a System, is it all over? But I tried it, seems like it's not so."

"Uh, True General, you..."

"Let me tell you something, Caramel Snail. Because of what you just did, I've got a lot more trouble. I'll settle this with you later."

"...I'm sorry." Caramel Snail lowered his head, speaking with self-blame: "I can only add to your troubles."

"However, if it's trouble you've caused, I don't mind solving it no matter how much. Because of what I owe you, I've always been using you, for my own benefit at your expense, this isn't the first time—for this reason, before I pay back your debt, if you dare to die, I'll kill you."

Li Aozi drew a Blade from the ground, speaking calmly:

"Oh, let me tell you another secret."

"What?"

"I'm not called True General."

Li Aozi raised his left hand, snapping his fingers.

"My name is—Li Aozi."

Bang!

[Vivid Demon Iron Monarch]

"(Dragon Language) Sky, Sun, Strength!"

The Magic Rune Metal Vine covered Li Aozi's face, hiding his savage and evil smile, his pupils extended outward into two long slanting lines, then burst with golden radiance backward.

"Radiant Dragon!"

...............

On the hillside not far from Victorray Harbor, Glina's coffin had been reburied.

Snap!

At that moment, a slender female hand emerged from the ground, grasping at something in the void above.

Until after she grasped for a few seconds and realized she couldn't catch anything, she gave up.

"Hiss..."

Then came a whispering sound from underground:

"Ah, I see now, I see, I was wondering why the backup took so long without any response, turns out it was your doing."

"Leoz, you still have secrets I don't know about."

"So, let me, as your ally, lend you a hand!"

The female hand that broke through the earth snapped its fingers.

Ping—

It coincidentally resonated with Li Aozi, hundreds of kilometers away.

............…

[You have realized new destiny and confirmed it on the path of Fate]

["Desire"] Leviathandal—Fate Accumulation: 1.9%

Li Aozi didn't have time to look at this anymore.

From the moment he revealed his identity, he had already chosen to stand by Caramel Snail.

Caramel Snail, this foolish idiot, due to the Cognition Filter shattering, couldn't resist the invasive thoughts from outside, especially those from the Void and Society, both adept at corrupting minds.

His thoughts were corrupted, giving the Void Rift an anchor point, using Caramel Snail as a lead to open the path from Void to Border Abyss.

This also meant that the Void Executioner Hamarjalay, who was merely waiting quietly for sacrifices on the other side, now had the chance to come to Border Abyss and engage with him in battle.

But, this wasn't his fault.

After all, if he was perfect, Caramel Snail wouldn't have had these problems.

Instead of blaming others, it's better to self-reflect.

So, does he have the ability to fight against Executioner Hamarjalay?

Strictly speaking, no.

If it were Leoz, He would not hesitate to abandon Caramel Snail to save himself.

Li Aozi couldn't do that.

Logically, Caramel Snail was cultivated by his own hand, Gio Zieou could be forsaken, but not Caramel Snail.

Li Aozi couldn't just abandon him, even in death, it had to be him cleaning his own house.

Emotionally, they were friends.

So, Li Aozi planned to take a gamble.

He couldn't do it, but perhaps Redd Gold could.

He gambled that Redd Gold wouldn't watch him fall.

In that instant, Li Aozi thought of hundreds of possibilities, and the one most likely to affect Redd directly was only one.

Transform into the Radiant Dragon, the nominal emperor of the Dragon Race!

At the same time, only one Radiant Dragon could exist.

So, would Redd Gold yield?

Li Aozi didn't know.

Compared to Leoz, Li Aozi didn't trust Redd Gold as much, but this was one of the few options.

Thus, even when facing the overwhelming power of the Void, Li Aozi merely sighed and spoke in Dragon Language:

"Sky, Sun, Strength."

At that moment, his pupils instantly contracted.

Boundless, seemingly all the power of the world, continually flew to him from everywhere, channeling into his veins and arteries.

The light responded to him!

Li Aozi's hair turned platinum, and he raised his sword high, light and flame converging on the City Burner.

Bang!

A groundbreaking light beam surged through the starry sky, directly piercing the endless Starry Abyss!

"(Dragon Language) The saving radiance will illuminate the entire world!"

Li Aozi's eyes completely turned into platinum radiance, his body burning intensely, merging wholly into the light and flame of the sword.

The Void Gate seemed to sense something amiss and immediately accelerated its opening pace.

Caramel Snail knelt on the ground, staring blankly at this scene, until suddenly lifted by a small hand from the ground.

"(Void Speech) This way."

With a serious face, Beatrice lifted Caramel Snail like raising a horizontal bar, quickly running away from the battlefield.

"Wait, True General—Li Aozi, how could he be a match for such an enemy!"

"(Void Speech) The Sovereign will resolve everything, you just need to witness."

With a straight face, Beatrice tossed Caramel Snail into a dug-out air-raid shelter, picked up the lid, turned around, and fell backward.

[That's it, well done, Beatrice.]

With Caramel Snail and Beatrice gone, Li Aozi had no more worries. His body fully became part of the sword, merging completely with the light piercing the heavens.

[Perish!]

The next moment, he slashed towards the Void Rift instantly!
