Chapter 2043 - 74: In the Name of the Netherworld King (3)

Crack! A crisp sound!

The majestic power of the Storm Spark instantly spread out. Gu Shen held the Truth Extinguishing Fire Sword upright before him, watching as the Storm God’s Throne detonated its shell. The power of this explosion was enough to tear and destroy the entire Storm in half...

But Gu Shen’s Pure Land Divine Domain absorbed the aftermath of the explosion completely!

Before the Storm God’s Throne "died," it used the explosion to send the Storm Spark through the base’s back opening.

After swallowing the explosion’s aftermath, Gu Shen didn’t hesitate and immediately darted out of the starship.

The Netherworld Fire had already woven into a net in the outside void.

That "Storm Spark" thrown by the Storm God’s Throne, for the Netherworld Fire, was like a dazzling star, radiating brilliance even tens of miles away.

Gu Shen effortlessly collected this spark.

After doing all this,

Gu Shen didn’t rush back six hundred miles to fetch the Red Dragon.

He promptly returned to the spot he left earlier.

Now, a large breach had opened in the base, and Gu Shen casually waved a thread of Chi Huo to mend the opening at the back of the base. After the wind’s noise abated, it became very tranquil here.

Gu Shen stood in front of the living chambers left by the genetic statute, and softly began to speak, "Speaking of... do you know my origins?"

The genetic chamber was silent.

"In a certain sense, I’m the same as the people here, without much difference."

Gu Shen smiled faintly, "So I know well... the taste of living in a nutrient chamber. To have one’s consciousness sealed in a frozen state, even discarding memories, to endure long and arduous years is truly a painful experience, but it doesn’t matter, as long as one is alive, these don’t mean anything."

"When the freeze lifts, when the flesh revives, when the future matures..."

"Then, you still have the chance to turn things around."

"Don’t think I don’t know, you have signed an absolute obedience soul contract with the Red Dragon. So as long as your soul exists, at any time, with a single command, the Red Dragon will once again kneel before you, even if he ascends to the throne, he cannot dissolve this unequal contract established early on. Your final hope for turning around is not yourself, but the Red Dragon."

After these words, the temperature in the alloy base dropped several degrees.

Murmuring echoes spread across the alloy walls.

Gu Shen calmly said, "Because you think no matter what, you can’t defeat me anymore, if you continue fighting... you will only lose, only die, so you think of this method to make the last gamble, bet that I would believe you are truly ’dead,’ bet that after I got the spark, I would stop. This is the last gamble of a desperate gambler, you have been making similar decisions all along, from the moment you attacked the fleet in the Ice Sea, you exposed your true nature, you’re an uncompromising gambler, as long as there are enough benefits, you would stake everything, to bet on the favor of the Goddess of Destiny."

"But this time, you’ve lost the bet."

Gu Shen arrived before a frozen nutrient chamber.

He extended his palm, penetrating the red-silver glass chamber, pressing against a young boy’s forehead.

"???"

The boy’s expression turned shocked and angry, opening his eyes in disbelief to look at Gu Shen.

"I didn’t kill those on your ship, because they are still useful to me, not because I’m kind."

Gu Shen gazed with pity at the unfamiliar boy in the nutrient chamber, coldly saying, "But if you disperse your spirit among them, then they all must die... So you think, by dispersing your spirit across these nutrient chambers, you can escape this calamity?"

"Alarm! Alarm!"

Suddenly, an ear-piercing alarm rang within the alloy base!

Each red-silver chamber popped open, and those young Transcendent lives were now granted the chance to "escape" —

But...

The temperature at the alloy base’s gate was terrifyingly high!

As someone just touched it, they were instantly burned to ashes, their whole being flaring up momentarily, then exploding!

Outside the base, the Netherworld Fire had already turned into a sea of flames!

Gu Shen’s Divine Concealment robe fluttered in the fire sea, his entire form becoming the supreme ruler of life and death’s judgment, coldly overlooking these fragile Transcendent lives.

"As a Throne-holder... to cling to life, you’re even willing to hand over the most important spark to the enemy’s hand..."

"Storm, I truly overestimated you."

He extended his palm.

Hiss hiss hiss!

In an instant, the Netherworld Fire spread out, like threads, wrapping around all the Transcendent lives in the alloy base.

"So incurably incompetent, bewildered, numb..."

"In the name of the Netherworld King, I sentence you to death."

Gu Shen shook his head, disappointed.

He clenched his fingers.

Inside the base, the sea of flames surged, as nearly a hundred heads were severed in unison!

The last trace of Divine Thought left by the Storm God’s Throne, the final sliver of hope for survival, extinguished completely!
