Chapter 1018: Chapter 501: Temporarily Staying the Collapse of High Mountains

The firelight of the Eternal Rebirth Scythe lit up the open-air cabin of the returning small Flying Airship. Elaphia gazed at it, yet unlike others, she didn’t instinctively reach out for it and instead held her breath, calling upon all her sensory abilities.

She seemed to perceive just how wondrous and mysterious this artifact was, with an earnestness rarely seen.

"Oh, even you—" Falo was about to tease her old friend a bit, but Aife raised her hand to stop her from continuing, preventing her from breaking her train of thought.

After not looking at it for long, the blonde young girl instead closed her eyes, as if digesting what she had realized from this weapon.

"Too, too evil..." Annette whispered softly beside her.

Li Ang turned his gaze, causing the green cat ears on her head to twitch swiftly as if she thought he might swing an axe at any moment.

"What exactly do you mean by evil, demonization? Or some attribute of the Apocalypse Device? Surely you’re not saying it’s evil just because Zosia has strong power?"

At this point, Li Ang also wanted to understand where her attitude came from.

Indeed, in the ignorant childhood, the Wind Dragon was captured and researched as a Beast by Zosia, who was equally newly born and hadn’t yet started caring about others. But later, Li Ang discovered that apart from holding a grudge, Annette repeatedly emphasized evil.

Annette pouted, "I’m not telling you; I want to watch you play with evil power and burn yourself."

"Other Dragon Gods want you to protect me."

"Mm-mm-mm-mm!"

The blue little devil hummed lowly in her throat, finally gritting her teeth, "It’s because of the elemental laws in that weapon that no one should wield such power!"

"Law of the End?"

"Exactly, huh, that already transcends anything elements can inherently do."

"I perceive that the Law of the End also contains the dual nature of ending and rebirth, negating the powers of opposing and similar elements, allowing one’s powers to eternally regenerate."

"Yeah, that’s right, isn’t that the problem?" Annette snorted coldly.

The words of the Wind Dragon also caught Diao’s attention. As an Ancient Witch, she not only had connections with Spirits but could also wield elemental powers through them, so she was quite knowledgeable about elements.

"Could you please elaborate further?" Li Ang suddenly became polite to the blue-haired little ghost in front of him, after all, this might pertain to the further mastery of the Apocalypse Device.

"Although elements have counteractions, they also have mutual generation, connecting with each other and forming a cycle, which was determined by the Father God, but Zosia Shaher’s Law of the End severs it."

"When you put it that way..."

Previously, Li Ang only focused on the powers of the Law of the End and discovered that these twelve Divine Artifacts forged by wielding them could suppress and create elements, but he never considered how it differed from the rules of the world itself, or rather...

"The Law of the End transcends the boundaries of the world?"

"Indeed, it’s simply an usurpation, as if Zosia Shaher wants to nullify our world and create a new world that operates according to his laws."

New world.

Li Ang thought of Inanna’s evaluation of the Monster Breeding Ground on the Eternal Summer.

Given his perspective as a Transmigrator, and knowing that Nebis is only an isolated island in the vast universe, he doesn’t think "creating a new world" is such an amazing concept.

Besides, starting from Tier Nine, various existences begin to be able to expand their Domain, which is to open Dimensional Rifts and construct barriers within them using Magic Power according to their power forms. Even a weakened version, a diminished version, could be considered a kind of small world prototype, right?

Thinking that Inanna’s attitude is calm, even looking forward to the new world, which is completely opposite to Annette. Li Ang realized that part of the Wind Dragon’s intense emotions, besides old grievances with Zosia, came from genuinely benefitting from Nebis’ fragmentation, completely opposite to Inanna.

Even though as one of the Six Dragons she might not think it’s a good thing, it’s understandable that she naturally doesn’t look forward to a "new world" from this perspective.

"You needn’t worry," Li Ang smiled at Annette, "there probably isn’t anyone in existence capable of creating a new world, and let me use the Law of the End to efficiently battle my enemies."

"...That might be possible."

Annette gritted her teeth, watching him for a moment, then sighed, "I really don’t know why they trust you not to mess around."

"How could a mortal like me mess around? Even if I had the intention, I lack the capability. Moreover, my stance is definitely on the side of maintaining the world." Li Ang spread his hands.

"Here’s a piece of advice," the Wind Dragon said, "construct at most six of the Apocalypse Devices, don’t let a single attribute form a pair, and you have no concept of how powerful these weapons are. It’s not just about your intentions; inappropriate use could directly disrupt the world’s elements."

Not to mention twelve of them, even the second one is far from finished yet, Li Ang nodded at her.

At least from Annette, he obtained some form of confirmation—the Apocalypse Divine Artifacts indeed possess power beyond the world’s boundaries.

Previously, turning a certain law into a part of a weapon’s power already made Li Ang think this was the case, and now it’s confirmed they’re even mightier than he imagined.

In his hand, the Eternal Rebirth Scythe was only capable of delivering a single blow; if used continuously, the extent of destruction it may cause remains unknown.

Annette transformed into a gust of wind and disappeared, seemingly unwilling to discuss these matters with Li Ang any longer.

Watching her depart, Li Ang wondered, when two are combined, will their power multiply beyond the sum of their parts?
