I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1105 - 581: Even Miracles Cannot Bring Dawn

On the fifteenth day after Su Keite left, Lula, the Great Leader, began his action.

The temperature had dropped to a point where even the thermostat Magic Devices were malfunctioning, and every Snow Monster was clad in Magic Armor to preserve their body heat as much as possible.

During these fifteen days, Lula was not idle; he urged all the Alchemists to manufacture a super-gian Magic Device according to his ideas.

This Magic Device was just a disposable item. Once activated, it would simulate the soul waves of a strong being to attract the Ghost Hunters wandering in the Magic Power tide.

This action caused a great impact on the entire gathering place.

Su Keite's fifteen suits of Magic Armor at most consumed precious metals, but his giant Magic Device, once constructed, essentially emptied the entire gathering place.

Therefore, many Snow Monsters in the gathering place had complaints against him, but Lula didn't care as long as it could succeed.

The reason he took such a gamble was the environment's sudden change. According to normal circumstances, it would only reach forty degrees by the end of the month, but shortly before, the environment underwent another large-scale mutation, and within just half a month, it had reached thirty degrees.

This meant by tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest, there won't be a single Snow Monster left alive in the entire gathering place; they will all freeze to death.

The thermostat Magic Devices might completely break down in another hour or two.

Fortunately, he rushed and finally completed the construction of the giant Magic Device.

As for grievances, they didn't matter anymore; if they survived, they would still be alive. If not, they would all die together; there was no need to dwell on it.

"Great Leader, should we activate the Magic Device?" A Snow Monster, equipped with a thick Magic Armor, covered in frost, couldn't even move its joints.

"Activate it, life or death depends on this moment." Lula also sighed, unsure if it could be activated successfully in such an environment.

He didn't intend to delay for fifteen days; these fifteen days were spent building it, and time was not on his side.

If he could have succeeded fifteen days ago, he wouldn't have worried about this problem.

"Yes, I will immediately…" Before the Snow Monster could finish, he noticed numerous cracks suddenly appearing on the ceiling above the ground.

"Not good, the ceiling material can't withstand the cold. Damn, no, it's not the cold."

Beside him, the Snow Monster Alchemist suddenly reacted, his expression filled with fright.

"Not the cold? Then what is it?" Lula hurriedly asked.

But before the Snow Monster Alchemist could speak, the entire ceiling collapsed, followed by snowstorms and ice sweeping in.

"It's…"

The cold instantly transformed everything, and the Snow Monster Alchemist couldn't utter a word before turning into an ice sculpture.

Whatever he wanted to say, disappeared completely with his death.

Lula, at this moment, couldn't care about these things; his eyes were fixed on the giant Magic Device used to simulate a strong soul. Fortunately, this thing was sturdy enough not to be crushed by the ceiling.

However, the invading cold had thoroughly transformed the entire underground gathering place into a frozen Purgatory.

The person who would activate it was already dead from the cold, only he, the strongest Great Leader, could barely resist a little.

Therefore, he could only grit his teeth against the terrifying snowstorm and cold to activate it.

He knew that now the Magic Device might not function successfully, but he was unwilling to die here.

He had to at least try; what if it succeeded?

Actually, he also suspected that the ceiling didn't shatter because of the cold, but because of some great terror discovering his plan and obstructing it.

The Magic Armor used for warmth on his body had suffered massive damage, and only ten meters remained from the activation spot.

Yet, these ten meters seemed extremely long for Lula.

He could feel his body gradually losing sensation, even each step felt exceedingly heavy.

Thankfully, their Snow Monster physique was large; no matter how long it felt, it was only ten meters, not a hundred meters.

"Made it, finally made it." Lula's Magic Armor shattered completely, exposing him to the terrifying cold.

He reached out and touched the starter of the giant Magic Device.

With the ignition of the energy source, the entire Magic Device emitted a faint light, which expanded in Lula's vision until it became a brilliant glow.

"It succeeded..."

In the last moment before death, Lula softly murmured.

However, after his death, the giant Magic Device instantly exploded into a heap of scrap.

"Did you really think I was dead, hitting me with this plan." Gu Shanhai remarked cynically. Normally, this thing couldn't operate successfully, but the world offered a miracle, allowing this giant Magic Device to function in this environment; otherwise, it would have frozen long ago.

It was sustained solely by luck.

"Now, only one step remains."

...

The radiant light pierced through the wind and snow, and Su Keite saw the scene from afar.

"The Great Leader's plan?"

"It seems he's succeeded, at least I don't have to..."

Su Keite's murmurs hadn't finished when he saw the radiance dim and vanish.

"Also failed, this time the Snow Monster civilization may not survive."

Among the fifteen Snow Monsters with him, only Su Keite was left alive, not because he dreaded death, but because he was the strongest, able to endure longer.

"What a pity, you were still a step too late."

Suddenly, a voice emerged from amidst the wind and snow, instantly jolting Su Keite out of his groggy state.

"You, are you the one who brought cold to the world," Su Keite babbled somewhat incoherently.

Soon, he saw a peculiar humanoid form gradually appear in his vision, strange by Snow Monster standards.

According to Snow Monster norms, the being seemed weak, hairless, unable to survive in the cold, yet it remained unaffected.

Its appearance was exceedingly strange, utterly different from their perception.

"No, the Destructive Frost has always existed, it has nothing to do with me," Gu Shanhai looked at Su Keite and said.

Snow Monsters are large, growing up to three meters tall and weighing as much as a ton when mature, incredibly sturdy.

However, as a strong individual, Su Keite was naturally even bigger.

A large size allows for more energy storage, but also greater consumption, although Snow Monsters are quite efficient in saving energy.

"Destructive Frost?" Su Keite muttered softly, inwardly mocking himself, at least knowing the name of the thing destroying Snow Monsters and their world was some form of closure before death.

"Then, what do you want by coming to see me?"

Even near death, Su Keite understood the other couldn't have sought him for no reason; if seeking resources or treasures, they would've taken action, either trading or straightforwardly waiting for him to die and take them.

"Nothing in particular, just came to see the last Snow Monster of this world," Gu Shanhai said, offering a smile.

Su Keite felt Gu Shanhai's smile but couldn't fathom its meaning.

"What a shame, if you needed anything, I'd even beg you to save my life." Su Keite jested.

"I can't save you; Destructive Frost accompanies magic tides. As long as the world remains in the Dual-star Celestial Body's radiation zone, there's no escaping it throughout history. It's just a matter of bad luck for you," Gu Shanhai said. His mention of bad luck naturally meant encountering him.

If lucky, how could it be Su Keite's world that Gu Shanhai picked to wreak havoc upon?

After all, his original aim was a world devoid of civilization and life, best if nearing destruction.

"Just bad luck?" Though numb all over, Su Keite couldn't resign himself, able to accept any reason for destruction, whether their inability to resist or hidden manipulation, except for mere bad luck.

It was absurd to think an entire Snow Monster civilization and world doomed due to so-called bad luck.

He didn't foolishly question the prophetic vision Gu Shanhai spoke of; by now there was no point.

"You can't accept it? It's alright; you're neither the first nor the last civilization."

"In this cluster of worlds, the extinction of small worlds is just so simple."

Gu Shanhai spread his hands, "You are unwilling, but other civilizations might accept."

Su Keite opened his mouth to counter but found himself unable to speak.

He knew, he was dying.

Finally, he could only nod arduously, saying nothing.

The light in his eyes gradually faded, and the last trace of life slipped away.

"Dead too, seems the bluff worked," Gu Shanhai, a stranger, hadn't come to console him, it was purely a bluff.

The aim was to treat the Snow Monster civilization as a snack.

So, once Su Keite died, Gu Shanhai could begin harvesting.

The Snow Monster civilization was instantly absorbed within, and Gu Shanhai scrutinized it.

"A bit small, but alright. The last burst elevated the Snow Monster civilization's quality to a higher level."

"They do say it's the world's miracle."

The miracle descended, only to be casually quashed by Gu Shanhai; thankfully, the enhancements remained.

"Apart from the Snow Monster civilization, gained a Ghost Hunter fishing machine. Next time, if Ghost Hunters are needed, there's no need to use Heart Demon Dao Soldiers as bait." Gu Shanhai was quite satisfied with the harvest.
