Chapter 819 - 461: You, Xue Dili, Go Kill the Lord of Mist!

Although people outside were panicking, deep in this Subspace, near the Venerable King’s Subspace Barrier, it was a stark silence.

The Lord of Mist, now left with only half of his flesh, quickly departed, as the weakened state brought about the backlash of his powers.

Whether it involved the "Genesis" powers he created himself, or those he previously stole from the first six Apostles.

As for the shredded body remnants, which exploded into a bloody mist after a single glance from the New God, he didn’t even cast a look at them, simply leaving them here.

This was the deepest part of the Subspace, devoid of light or any living creatures. The body tissues, fatally corrupted by the New God, had already lost their utility. If these shattered body tissues were recycled, it would only allow the scant remaining tissues to continue being eroded by the power of order.

Thus, he chose to directly "kill" these body tissues. The rest would naturally rot into decaying flesh at the end of this Subspace, eventually merging with the Subspace itself.

And he needed to return to the real Cosmos to heal his injuries, henceforth accelerating the launch of his true plan!

At this time, these fragments of inactive flesh began to drift with the currents of Subspace. Some attached themselves to the Subspace Barrier, others floated off to unknown locations. Suddenly, as they reached the other end of the depths, an energy net ensnared them, pulling them back into an unknown place.

...

Earth, at the home of Xue Dili.

Despite the fact that for the entire Cosmos it seemed like a monumental event had occurred, with the disappearance of the Mimic Venerable King and the simultaneous malfunction of all creations within the Interstellar Corps, rendering the entire Corps into chaos,

at the home of Xue Dili, everything seemed as ordinary as ever. The eldest daughter and the younger daughter watched TV on the sofa; Fafnir was preparing lunch, and the aunt appeared mentally refreshed, apparently due to the Mimic Venerable King’s medicine.

Meanwhile, Xue Dili sat amidst a pile of power cables and various switch circuits in the yard, but his entire being was submerged in the Consciousness Space, where the fragments of the Mimic Venerable King were.

When Xue Dili heard the Mimic Venerable King wanting to infect with Void, he released the creatures of the Void without any hesitation.

This was merely a figurative representation.

In the words of the Lord of Mist, the essence of the Void is "nothingness," invisible and unknown, until the Venerable King made the Void visible. That’s why the Void creatures could be seen clearly.

Essentially, Xue Dili infected the Mimic Venerable King with the Void; the Void inside Xue Dili hadn’t diminished a bit, it was merely entirely restrained by the Treasure left by Hassan.

The moment Hassan’s Treasure can no longer restrain the Void creatures, that’s when Xue Dili would have to head to the end of Subspace.

However, the Void creature did not devour the Mimic Venerable King fragment; instead, it vanished into it like a clay ox disappearing into the sea.

Xue Dili couldn’t understand, nor could the entire Interstellar Corps fathom how in an instant, the Mimic Venerable King fragment could not absorb any energy.

Many might see this as the Mimic Venerable King being dead.

But Xue Dili was still attempting to connect with the Mimic Venerable King, trying to discern his situation.

Why did he need the infection of the Void? What benefit does the Void have for the Mimic Venerable King?

To any creature, the Void is an unsolvable poison, gradually consuming your five senses, emotions, humanity, and ultimately everything about you, until you too become part of the Void, merging completely with it.

Moreover, it’s an irresolvable curse.

Even Hassan eventually merged with the Void. The only two known solutions are: one, like everyone at the Masked Ball, fill the Void with laughter to delay its erosion of oneself, and two, use the fruit of the Divine Tree, filling the void’s emptiness with the vast Spirituality of the Venerable King.

But these are mere palliatives, not cures.

The void’s emptiness remains and will continue to expand until it erupts into a Cosmic Void focused on your soul.

"Could it be, the Mimic Venerable King isn’t facing a dead-end, but a situation where he must become stronger, hence needing the Void’s corruption to devour his energy?"

"Then why does the Mimic Venerable King resist becoming stronger... Although the Mimic Venerable King is the strongest in the Cosmos, he’s ultimately not invincible. The monsters at the end of the Subspace, and the true Venerable King and the Void, are all things he couldn’t contend with..."

"So, why resist becoming stronger..."

"Wait a minute, the end of Subspace?" Xue Dili suddenly thought of something, then extracted the memory USB left in his soul by the Great Sage, and immediately began copying and viewing the previous explorations of the end of Subspace by Hassan and the Mimic Venerable King.

The Mimic Venerable King resisted becoming stronger because his strength had already reached a critical point. Getting any stronger might inevitably trigger a transformation, thereby compelling him to be drawn into the Venerable King’s Subspace Barrier to work.

Perhaps other Evil Gods can slow their progression toward entering the Venerable King’s Subspace Barrier through various tactics, but the Mimic Venerable King can’t. All his abilities come from the Venerable King, so he’d be thoroughly restrained by the Venerable King, having no choice but to obediently enter the end of the Subspace.

I gradually understood everything!

Xue Dili had already deduced most of the Mimic Venerable King’s situation, instantly becoming highly vigilant.
