I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

At this moment, Chen Lun seemed to return to the past.

Beside the porthole of the "Ark" spaceship in the Azure Federation, he gazed beyond the Solar System, towards that "silhouette" deep in the universe.

The cyan and yellow nebula before him was actually of the same existence as that "silhouette"—

They are all "Old Ones" beyond the Sequence.

They are at the "Supreme Point" where the final paths of the gods converge, an indescribable existence that holds the Original Sin.

Fragmented whispers and mutterings suddenly rang in his ears.

It was as if ten thousand, a million, countless people were whispering, saying words he completely could not understand.

Chen Lun suddenly felt a kind of mystical haziness.

Along with it was his body disintegrating, spirituality dispersing, his entire being attracted by the nebula, seeming as if he would fly toward it in the next second and merge with it.

Chen Lun couldn't help but be startled.

Upon regaining his senses, he found that his body had already turned into a translucent brilliant hue, with both forearms transformed into the smallest particles, floating towards the nebula...

Instantly, cold sweat drenched him.

'With just an instance of hesitation, I was almost devoured by the remnants of the "Eternal Nightmare"... nearly ten billion of stored sanity was consumed!'

Although Chen Lun's status was high, compared to existences beyond the Sequence, he was still as different as a firefly to the light of the sun and moon, worlds apart.

Thinking up to this point, he immediately took action.

In his eyes, pale infinite symbols flickered.

A dark golden card shimmered, spinning endlessly before him.

This was the four unique divinity of Destiny he had assimilated, which was also the key to wielding the Original Sin of "No Return Land."

The white throne covered with ancient patterns appeared as summoned, suddenly manifesting behind him, Chen Lun slowly sat down.

When he reclined on the throne, the dreamy haze around him abruptly halted, not disappearing, but blocked by an invisible curtain outside, unable to affect him any longer.

Chen Lun could clearly feel that power right beside him, around him, everywhere, perpetually seeking to devour him.

Fortunately, he was sheltered by the Original Sin "No Return Land."

Chen Lun had an intuition.

The mutterings he heard earlier might very possibly originate from that distant dreamy nebula, from the Old Ones' "Eternal Nightmare"!

He just didn't know what those mutterings meant.

Nor did Chen Lun want to know.

To this day, he deeply understood a truth, the greatest strength and weakness of humans is curiosity.

If one expended great efforts to unravel the mutterings of the "Eternal Nightmare," the final outcome would only be destruction.

'Wanting to know everything only harms oneself.'

Chen Lun exhaled deeply.

In his mind were lingering mutterings and images of the nebula.

Accompanying them were vast amounts of endless knowledge.

The two major Sequence pathways of Shell Stream, the complete Sequence knowledge of Deep Sea and Earth, all captured by Chen Lun.

'Deep Sea Sequence Zero "Eternal Dream," Earth Sequence Zero "Negative Stele Person"... The True Gods Eternal Sleeper and Mud Elder respectively reside in these two sequences; good, with these complete pathway knowledge, the flame of Sanctity can be strengthened further.'

Chen Lun thought to himself.

'It's time to leave; this place is too perilous.'

He resisted the impulse to glance at the nebula one last time, directly activating "No Return Land," allowing it to elevate him, leaving this deep dream.

This is also the terror of the Old Ones' "Eternal Nightmare."

Without the empowerment of Original Sin, even True Gods falling here would be unable to return, unable to awaken, ultimately devoured by the nebula transformed from its remnants.

Eternal Sleeper Sebastian Pado is the best example.

Chen Lun sat upright on the white throne, his expression calm.

The surrounding scenery was swiftly being dragged away, the dreamy nebula gradually receding; he was clearly immobile, yet there was an illusion of ascending at light speed...

In the Dream Realm, on the pale earth.

A group of angels with solemn expressions were watching the distance, where a cyan-yellow tornado enveloped the area with a vague azure silhouette seemingly enduring a terrifying attack.

Only the blurred view tossed by the wind; flickering thunder as dazzling as starlight, and the Azure King's body destroyed time and again, yet restored to its original form, reappearing.

Like flickering frames, the Azure King constantly switched between death and rebirth, maintaining a bizarre state.

"Could that be..."

Miss Holy Tree, Mia, raised her delicate eyebrows, quite astonished.

Mr. Jing Yao spoke slowly:

" 'Destiny Restart,' Klaff's signature trick; back then, he used this ability to seal Sebastian Pado, letting him sink endlessly in dreams... simultaneously, he used this ability to leave Sun Continent alone, confronting the Old Ones directly in the cosmic starry sky, unfortunately..."

As he spoke, the True Magic God regretfully shook his head.

He remembered.

Ring Duke Klaff may not have fallen directly in the starry sky, but upon 'Restart', he was still severely affected.

The corruption from multiple Old Ones caused Klaff's destiny line to undergo incomprehensible distortion; even sheltered by "No Return Land," his sanity vanished at an uncontrollable speed.

Ultimately unavoidably falling into chaos.

"Remarkable... in just a few years, Jack has mastered the vast majority of Klaff's power, reaching this point."

The emerald-like eyes of Miss Holy Tree shimmered with astonishment.

King of Slaughter Conrad held a goblet, gently swirling the vivid red wine within, with a sigh:

"Though he is not yet a god, his actual combat power already rivals ours."

"Hmm."

Mr. Jing Yao watched the azure silhouette in the cyclone, seemingly seeing his old friend Klaff, smiled and nodded.

"Looks like no need for us to lend a hand anymore."

Behind the three True Gods, a group of angels involuntarily showed expressions of surprise.

They witnessed the Sequence One ascension of the King in Azure firsthand.

Already highly overestimated his strength at the time, yet now hearing the three True Gods unambiguously claim the Azure King possesses True God power, everyone still found it incredible.

"The King of Angels" indeed has the qualification to face a True God, but this is entirely different from having equally matched strength.

Take the Lady of Dimness, Julia, as an example. She is unafraid of Lady Rose for two reasons: one, Maria Liana's injuries have not healed, and two, if Julia truly wanted to leave, the opponent could not keep her.

However, if we disregard these factors and they engage in a fight to the death, then Julia would absolutely have no chance of retreating unscathed.

A True God is the culmination of the path of divinity, the end of the Mystic Realm.

Even the King of Angels cannot defeat a True God.

This is an iron law.

But now, there has appeared someone who has shattered this iron law.

The King in Azure!

Boom——

Rumble——

Suddenly, there was a series of loud noises from afar.

The entire Dream Realm trembled, and even the vision began to crack, revealing fissures, seemingly on the brink of collapse.

Angela and the other three True Gods, along with the angels, focused their attention.

They saw a pillar of fire, azure at its base with rainbow patterns, shooting into the sky, forcing back the green and yellow hurricanes around it!

The tattered azure robe fluttered, billowing in the wind.

The Azure King slowly opened his eyes, in which endless pale symbols flickered.

"Glazed!"

He spoke indifferently, his voice rumbling like thunder.

The brilliant flames burning all around suddenly froze, then began to spin around the Azure King, rapidly converging on the ivory engraved cross sword in his hand!

Whoosh——

Whoosh whoosh——

Mister Jing Yao's expression gradually grew solemn.

His gaze was fixed on the sword in the Azure King's hand, his deep eyes vast as the starry sky, flashing with astonishment, contemplation, and realization.

"Holy Fire? So that's it!"

Upon hearing Angela's murmurs, both Mia and Conrad couldn't help but turn their heads.

Mister Jing Yao said in a deep voice:

"Klaff once said—'To embody destiny, to wield the Holy Fire as a blade, boundless sorrow and joy.' And this, in his vision, was the most likely path to salvation, though for some reason, Klaff ultimately abandoned it, chose to settle for second best, and developed the 'Destiny Mimicry.' Yet the 'Destiny Mimicry' alone was not enough to qualify Klaff to face those existences beyond the starry sky..."

In the distance, the King in Azure held the sword handle with both hands, pointing straight to the heavens.

The rainbow-colored pillar of fire continuously gathered, condensed, and finally formed a Glass Spiral Sword, eternally burning with resplendent Pale Fire!

The terrifying power and aura made the angels witnessing it feel their hearts pound, convinced that this sword could cut through anything!

Even Angela and the three True Gods couldn't help but be moved!

"The era of the Seven Gods has ended."

Chen Lun held the Glazed Azure Flame Spiral Sword, the crown above his head radiant, his ash-white hair fluttering.

The firelight illuminated his face, crossing between a mask of no sorrow and no joy, splendor and gloom intertwined.

"Sebastian Pado, I'll start with you!"

Swish!!

The Azure King's figure rotated and compressed into a point, instantly appearing before the phantasm that obscured the sky.

Boom——

The figure of the Eternal Sleeper twisted uncertainly, striking out with a fist.

The punch was mixed with terrifying green-yellow hurricanes and thunder!

The Azure King cast a cold glance, countering with a fist of his own.

The two fists collided like planets, shaking the entire Dream Realm!

Rumble!!

But the result was that the Azure King's figure remained utterly still.

In physical strength, both sides were evenly matched!

In the next moment, the Azure King swung his sword—

With a swoosh, the glaring white blade curtain dragged out a colorful afterimage, and the phantasm of the Eternal Sleeper couldn't even react, as an entire arm fell off with a sound!

The flames burned fiercely!

The Eternal Sleeper writhed violently, struggling within the blaze!

"Ah!!!"

The twisted phantasm roared and screamed, emitting an eerie shriek never before heard in this world.

The sound waves echoed in the Dream Realm, visible ripples creating layers of waves, the vision blurred, twisted, and wrinkled.

Chen Lun looked down indifferently, raising the Glazed Azure Flame Spiral Sword once more.

The flames surged into the sky, covering everything in sight with a layer of dazzling sheen, and he swiftly struck down—

All sounds halted at this moment.

Every scene disappeared in this instant.

Then.

The dazzling firelight, like a rain of shooting stars reversed, fluttered across the entire sky of the Dream Realm. The pale green scales on Eternal Sleeper Sebastian Pado's body melted away, extinguished, and his jet-black eyes reflected the brilliant hues.

His immense figure bore a thin, straight sword mark from head to toe—

As a tremor followed, the entire Dream Realm was forcibly split in two!

The radiant Pale Fire burned along the thin line left by the spiral sword, continuously spreading and destroying the Dream Realm.

"Henceforth, the Dream Realm ceases to exist."

The King in Azure stood tall in midair, holding that terrifying spiral sword.

His figure was indistinct in the collapsing vision, only his indifferent voice echoed throughout the universe.

"Sea God Sebastian Pado, truly eternally asleep."
