Chapter 1282: Chapter 336: Defying the Heavens, Seeking One’s Own Demise

The power of the Divine Eye turned into countless blood-colored motes of light flying through the sky, like a grand funeral.

In that moment, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit froze.

A familiar voice rang out in its mind:

"I’d long expected that, deep down, you’re a warrior, so I buried a release node in Mother’s energy circuit... Anyway, Earth Thought... you must live on, go take a look at the Peak of Monster World for me. That’s our new promise."

The one who understood it the most had always been the Evil Eye.

But this time, it couldn’t give any response at all.

Right now, the crisis had yet to be resolved.

Within the torrent formed by the convergence of myriad civilizations, Civilization Warriors were continuously being born. Following the Holy Hall Guard’s orders, they launched a charge at it.

In the distance, the Four Great Evil Spirits witnessed this scene and all made their moves.

They controlled the last remaining Black Tide Particles surrounding the Tower to generate Evil Spirits, which converged in front of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit into a Black Tide flood, attempting to use it to block the Civilization Army’s assault.

In the rear, the Holy Hall Guard was already running on fumes. Half its body had vanished, and it was clutching its broken neck with one hand. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Looking at the Earth Thought Evil Spirit, which could no longer fight, a trace of Madness surfaced in its eyes.

The Civilization Army it had released was already its last bit of Strength; if they failed to hold, it was doomed to die.

This was its final strike.

The Four Great Evil Spirits also let out roars at this moment.

Under Ghost Teeth’s Control, the Black Tide constantly spawned pitch-black tentacles that wove into a dense net in midair, forming a defensive barrier.

They shielded the Earth Thought Evil Spirit, which was still struggling to get up, beneath them.

The Catastrophe torrent generated by Iron Spine held the foremost line, colliding head-on with the Civilization Warriors.

Under Fuxin’s Control, the Plague Series Soldiers constantly spewed poisonous mists, forming a negative force field, trying to use it to restrict the Civilization Warriors’ offensive.

But these defensive measures couldn’t salvage the defeat at all.

"King, fuck your mother!"

Ghost Teeth cursed at this moment, its figure projected on the Tower platform, eyes bulging with rage.

In the Black Tide Army, the strong were revered.

And the Earth Thought Evil Spirit was the first peer warrior they’d ever sincerely admired.

"Boss Earth Thought" — those four words were the honorific they used for it.

"Everyone hold on, give Boss Earth Thought time to retreat." Blood Pattern said anxiously at this moment as well.

Before the battle, all they had obtained was the Tower’s sub-privileges.

After the Evil Eye’s death, only the Earth Thought Evil Spirit had the authority to interface with the Tower and use the Evil Moon to activate teleportation.

What they had to do now was buy time, let the Earth Thought Evil Spirit recover, give it time to open the permissions.

"Fuck." Iron Spine cursed angrily, diverting a portion of Black Tide Energy into the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s body, attempting to heal its injuries.

But the damage inflicted by the Divine Eye Power carried Rule potency.

Like a bottomless pit, it devoured the Black Tide Energy.

Realizing this wouldn’t work, that they had to let Boss Earth Thought recover on its own, they decisively pulled back the Black Tide Energy and continued to oppose the Civilization Army.

The two torrents were still colliding, but the situation was a one-sided suppression.

The Black Tide was being pushed back step by step by the Civilization Army’s Strength.

If not for the Black Tide possessing a backlash trait, with Evil Spirits able to rejoin the battle after dying, the clash would have already turned into the Civilization Army sweeping through like a scythe through rotten wood.

At this moment, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit lay paralyzed in the chaotic Energy currents, its broken body unable to move.

Watching the Black Tide, under the Control of the Four Great Evil Spirits, getting beaten back again and again like reefs battered by waves, it wanted to stand up, yet could never gather any Strength.

"Boss Earth Thought... hurry and stand up."

Blood Pattern’s projected figure on the Tower spoke in a voice that had become intermittent:

The footsteps of the myriad Civilization Warriors shook the Space until it cracked; madness flickered in their eyes.

That was the final command carved into them by the Holy Hall Guard with its Life on the verge of burning out, after it voluntarily shattered the Bone Lamp that stored civilization power.

The Earth Thought Evil Spirit looked at the Civilization torrent drawing closer and closer, feeling only utter powerlessness.

The Four Great Evil Spirits’ Resistance had already turned into a desperate struggle; the remaining Black Tide Power was on the verge of collapsing before the Civilization Army.

"Heh."

The Earth Thought Evil Spirit suddenly laughed.

It suddenly realized that it didn’t feel the slightest fear of death.

Once, it had lived for the glory of a Black Tide Soldier.

But at some unknown point, that had ceased to be the Ultimate goal.

Deep inside, its promise with the Evil Eye seemed to stand above those vague, illusory notions of honor and dignity.

"Cough, cough..."

Shredded flesh mixed with bloody foam spilled from its Shattering throat.

It recalled the days of staying up late with the Evil Eye studying the Player System, recalled the Player Clan that made it tremble with rage, recalled when it first met the Four Great Evil Spirits...

Thoughts surged forth one after another.

It suddenly remembered that long ago, in the Abyssal Trial Arena, it had also lain on its back like this.

Back then it was just a numbered Evil Spirit, every bone in its body shattered, soaking in corrosive Black Tide stock solution.

Every breath came with bloody foam, just like now.

Back then it didn’t know what fear was; it only knew it had to crawl out of the Abyss.

For what?

For the glory of the Black Tide, to become a stronger killing weapon.

It grew through rolling and crawling in blood, and as a mere soldier followed the Commander to wage Conquest across the Void World.

Such heavy memories...

Yet none of those past memories were as vivid as the time spent with the Evil Eye.

Here, it had completed a metamorphosis of thought even it found unbelievable.

It had even given birth to all sorts of absurd ideas.

At this time, the advance of the Civilization Army was like splitting bamboo.

The roars of the Four Great Evil Spirits grew blurry in its mind, as if gradually receding into the distance.

Their projected bodies could no longer hold on either, and they finally and completely lost control over the Tower, their figures entering a state of collapse.

But the Four Great Evil Spirits were still gritting their teeth.
