That Supreme Arbiter in the sky, formed of pure ash, that eternal and unchanging form, paused for merely 0.01 seconds due to Veridian's provocation.Then, the entire world welcomed its true end."Judgment" had been desecrated."Erasure" was resisted.To the Supreme Arbiter, this was the ultimate insult to the "Termination" law that it wielded.Its response was a more thorough, more irresistible... calamity!【Ashen Calamity】!Hiss—That wheel of ash suspended in the sky suddenly exploded!Endless, grayish-white ashes burning with dead flames, like the underworld's river pouring into the mortal realm, cascaded down from the torn canopy of heaven!This was no ordinary ash.Every piece of ash is a fragment of the Law of "Termination"!Every piece of ash contains the terrifying power to thoroughly burn away matter, energy, and even concepts themselves!The ash drifts down.The highest

The dead ashes in the sky shattered.Like a mirror struck by great force, it cracked inch by inch, then transformed into billions of light points, silently dissipating.The 终结 aura that had continuously enveloped the entire Silver Sail City, enough to freeze even souls, receded like the tide.The long-absent air, carrying the salty scent of the sea breeze, once again filled this sinful city that had escaped death.Everything was finally over.Lilith let out a small, satisfied yawn, rubbing her drowsy eyes.That "Law Arm" she had just bitten off from the Supreme Arbiter seemed to be an excellent supplement, causing the "Primordial" aura around her to become even more substantial.She drifted to Viridian's side, like a contented kitten nestling affectionately against his cheek.Then, her small form gradually transformed into a phantom shadow, merging beneath Viridian's feet, curling up into a ball as she sank into a deeper slumbe

Lilith's murmured words, like the most venomous curse, stirred towering waves across the ocean of Viridian's soul.A gluttonous little bug... was stealing a bite... of herbicide?Inside the Saint Abyss Workshop, it was deathly silent.What is "grass"?What is it that needs to be "removed"?This little creature of his, a parasite that exists by devouring sin — what exactly... is it stealing?A terrifying hypothesis capable of overturning everything he knew snatched at his heart like an invisible giant hand, leaving him chilled to the bone.Yet that chill lasted less than a second.Viridian's gaze fell again on that gray crystal sealed within the prison of holy light.It sat there, exuding a deadly yet alluring aura.Unknown fears are certainly terrifying.But the frailty before him was a more immediate, potentially lethal threat!He feared death, which is why he wanted to control everything!

Viridian's consciousness cruised through the vast ocean of information, the resonance of the "key fragment" transmitted from a distant direction like a tantalizing yet faraway star.His perception, having absorbed the law of "Termination," had become incredibly sharp, quickly analyzing the essence of that signal.Inside the Saintly Abyss Workshop, deathly silence reigned.Faint, and filled with despair.A potential asset that could be exploited. But, not now.His attention snapped back to the more immediate threat. The cold directive from the Ash Council still echoed in his mind.The Fourth Seat, "The Plague."The main course was being delivered right to his door. And that distant star, at best, was merely a dessert that had yet to be served.A true hunter would never abandon the main course already at their lips for an uncertain dessert.In a flash of lightning, he had made his decision.Hunting the "Plague" was

Viridian stood before the Sanctum Core.The heart he had personally modified was beating steadily and powerfully.Sanctum of Abyssal Works, the deepest place beneath the earth.On the ghostly blue panel before him, a string of green data streams—complex to the extreme—was scrolling at high speed, being completely parsed by the Network Ghost's talent.This was the "conceptual pathogen" the Plague had sent.It had been utterly devoured by the core of the Sacred Abyss, its energy purified, its structure dismantled.Viridian's will immersed itself in that data like a master chef sampling a new dish.What made up this pathogen were thousands of different grudges, hundreds of negative emotions born at the moment of life’s fading, and a trace of the "decay" principle condensed to its utmost.They had been woven together through a bewildering form of biotic alchemy, perfectly interlaced.It really was a masterp
