Chapter 2508

2508 - The Final Show

He was… dying?

Arkail, opening his eyes for what could be the last time, tried to delay time and find a way out.

But nothing worked against Marlik and his sword, which continued to slice through his body with eerie smoothness.

Arkail opened his mouth and light began to pour from his body; in a fraction of a second he prepared to detonate the center of his energy gathering before the blow could reach him, and take Marlik with him if death was inevitable.

But—

At that moment, a beautiful leg passed beside him.

Then baaaaaang

The sole of that leg slammed into Marlik's face and sent him flying backward, "Agh!"

Bang Renara landed right next to Arkail and gave him a sidelong glance, "…Can you move, or do you need help?"

"…." Arkail dropped to one knee, his body cut from the shoulder down to the middle of his chest; nevertheless, he nodded toward Renara in gratitude, "I'll leave."

Then he stood and took a step back, vanishing afterward.

As for Renara, she turned to look in a certain direction with her head held high, "I knew a despicable person like you wouldn't accept reality and would try to reignite the extinguished battle."

Bang Marlik emerged from between the rock debris, his face wearing an indignant expression thirsty for blood, "Nothing has changed and nothing has been extinguished; the war continues as it is."

Marlik drew his other sword and began advancing toward Renara. "The war was started from the beginning to restrain your shameless Lord and his deceitful master above him, and that hasn't changed. That disgusting play a moment ago proves the reasons for the war's outbreak and reinforces them."

"That's what you say." Renara crossed her arms calmly. "But your followers don't seem to see what you see."

Then she pointed in a certain direction. "You'll need more than attacking on your own to ignite the fighting again."

"..?" Marlik took a look in that direction, and immediately his rage intensified and he roared with a voice that echoed through space and into every ear, "Rabble! Fools looking at their own feet!!"

Intiras's sons all withdrew at once—they weren't even standing around to watch anymore.

The Law Dominators of the Council of Thrones vacated the place entirely; they didn't retreat toward a specific location or a specific distance—each one simply went his own way, indicating they had received no instructions.

Asterion had already gathered with his formidable army and was preparing to retreat.

As for the forces that had sent Law Dominators or fleets to support the Syndicate or Asterion, they too began to gather and withdraw.

No one remained in place ready to fight except the Syndicate Law Dominators and their followers from the Nexus States and the World Calamities; not a single war vehicle was still ready for battle.

The vast army that had come to invade the Sector had completely disintegrated, and those who remained were no longer capable of holding out in a battle for a few minutes.

"If I were you, I'd go and teach them a lesson." Renara pointed toward the retreating forces with a small smile.

"….." Marlik raised his head slightly, his gaze toward Renara growing more aggressive. "No one who tried to mock has lived… it has never happened."

Renara might clearly be setting a trap for him.

All those forces were retreating because they were in a state of shock and fear over what had happened, rather than blind confidence in the power of the Syndicate and The Archon; now they had to think carefully before making any move against The Breaker Lord.

If Marlik attacked them in that state, there would be no more shock or confusion; all those forces would immediately decide to switch allegiance and attack the Syndicate's forces instead of retreating.

So Renara, with her words, was either setting a trap for him, belittling his intelligence, or simply rubbing salt in the wound.

"Get used to it." Renara folded her hands gently. "This universe has new masters now; the era of the Syndicate is over."

"Your ignorant lord used a power that isn't his and spoke two words bigger than himself, so you think it's the new Law?" Marlik nodded several times in irritation. "Fine… today is yours, but tell your lord that the Syndicate's flesh is bitter!"

Then he turned around, ready to leave.

"Where are you going?" Renara summoned a new spear and then advanced toward Marlik with acceleration. "Everyone is allowed to leave—the Syndicate is not."

"What?!" Marlik spun around quickly, confusion covering his face.

He had given that girl a chance to live, yet she refuses it?

But he immediately opened his eyes wide.

Booooooooooom

A massive Explosion carrying the wind of destruction struck one of the nearby planets and wiped it out.

That planet had been standing on it thousands of World Calamities and Nexus States from the Syndicate's followers watching the broadcast!

"Hedrick!!!!" Marlik screamed with all his might.

Boom boom boom

The Note Fleets and their followers all rose and returned to striking at that moment—this time it was a one-sided crushing, not a battle.

Zavarus, Kiryān, Grafour, Kaylis, along with the wounded Arkail and their sons, all began besieging the Syndicate Law Dominators, at their forefront Hedrick, who began destroying the space around him, preventing any attempt to escape.

"You're doomed!!" Marlik shouted in anger and evident panic, then stomped the ground with his foot and joined the battle.

But a blow from Renara's spear sent him back to the ground.

Then she laughed, "Haha, all your allies sold you out, Marlik." Then she descended toward him with the spear, "Even if you somehow manage to leave today, everyone who came with you from the Syndicate will remain here forever."

Then she showed a smile befitting the title of Emperors Killer, raising her nine tails behind her, each tail bearing a star of a different color: "You should have left with your tail between your legs like an obedient dog instead of putting on one last show of force to convince your allies that you're still valuable and can stand against the powers of The Breaker Lord, and that you chose to retreat of your own accord… this move will cost you dearly."

Boooooooom

Hedrick blew up another planet and everyone on it.

And Renara attacked downward with her nine stars.
