Apocalypse Circular-Chapter 546 - 544 Destruction

In the palace in the sky, Angel Envoy Convex was screaming in terror.

His screams were making Yang, who stood before him, somewhat irritable, and she roared at Convex, "Shut up, you waste! If you scream again, I'll be the first to kill you."

"Oh, I know!"

Facing Yang's threat, Convex could only fall silent.

But the power Lu Luo had displayed was simply unbelievable!

After absorbing Convex's body, Lu Luo's power had reached an incalculable level.

Even when a Devourer absorbed something, the digestion process required time.

But Lu Luo was different; after he absorbed Convex's body, he seemed able to use that power immediately.

Lu Luo wielded the power that belonged to Angel Envoy Convex without any sense of disharmony!

This was clearly an ability even more formidable than that of the World Devourer Xu.

"Lu Luo, stop it! You have no idea what you are doing! You still have a chance to turn back. Go see Meiqi; she will tell you everything!"

Yang still wanted to persuade Lu Luo, but he was already beyond listening to anyone.

He just quietly watched Yang, his eyes devoid of anything but indifference.

"There's no need for that anymore. From today on, everything will return to nothingness!"

"Nothingness? Lu Luo, you..."

"Let's fight, Yang! Let me see the power of the Destroyer."

BOOM!

The palace was thoroughly dismantled by Lu Luo's tendrils.

Countless rocks and fragments rained down from the sky.

After the palace shattered, Lu Luo and Yang floated separately in the sky above.

Powerless, Convex had already fallen from the sky.

Lu Luo didn't pursue him; there was no need.

Once he dealt with Yang before him, no one here could stop him.

"Demon with a Thousand Eyes, Eye Beams!"

Thousands of enormous eyeballs appeared in the sky above the Imperial Capital, those eyeballs like endless abysses.

When other humans stared into these eyeballs, their hearts were gripped by an indescribable terror.

They panicked; they were helpless; they went mad.

Amidst the chaos of the allied army, the patriarch of the Bai Family, Bai Mo, suddenly spoke, "Stop looking at the eyeballs in the sky! Close your eyes and maintain your meditative state."

After Bai Mo spoke, Gu Tianfeng was not to be outdone. "Follow your true heart; let nothing external affect you."

With a stern word from the two leaders, most of the Transcendents snapped out of their frenzy.

But they were still haunted by the eyeballs in the sky.

Such a wide range, such indiscriminate attack power—what kind of ability-user could possess such might!

The shock wasn't limited to them; even Bai Mo and Gu Tianfeng were astounded by this power.

Could Lu Luo's power really reach this extent?

A sky full of eyeballs—not even an Eighth Order War God powerhouse could manifest such a thing.

What exactly was his ability?

Lu Luo, oh Lu Luo, what exactly are you doing?

Amid everyone's shock, Lu Luo had already taken control of his tendrils, stabbing towards Yang, the Destroyer, in the sky.

Yang remained calm. Though Lu Luo's power was strong, she never felt fear.

Because no matter how strong Lu Luo's ability was, he was only the S-02 Devourer, while she was the S-01, the Destroyer!

"Annihilation!"

The black fog that had appeared in the Doomsday Disc now emerged again from Yang's skin.

The blackness grew denser, and over time, the fog solidified, becoming like mud.

HA!

The black mud exploded violently, and rings of black fog spread out like devouring curses.

Layer upon layer, the black rings were like invincible divine blades.

Upon encountering Lu Luo's strongest tendrils, the rings could instantly sever them.

Not to mention the damaged buildings that came into contact with the black fog.

Everything the fog touched evaporated; the black energy was a pure torrent of destruction.

It was unstoppable, imperishable; even a Doomsday Devourer couldn't compete with it.

"Well played!"

Lu Luo, who had been silent and staring blankly, perhaps in a mindless trance, finally showed a different expression.

His emotions were stirred; he felt excitement, a surge within him.

Indeed, in this world, there were still some things that could stir me.

Excitement, an unprecedented excitement.

This excitement stemmed from Lu Luo's fighting spirit towards Yang.

He wanted to fight against such a powerful opponent.

He wanted to battle. Although Lu Luo often played the fool, it was all a guise, a concealment.

He had his family, friends, and lover to consider, so Lu Luo had always hidden his true self.

He had always wanted to stand forth like a warrior, to fight.

A thrilling battle with no guarantee of victory.

The unknown, while being the greatest fear, is often the greatest longing for many. Just like Lu Luo now.

"Lu Luo, if you remain obstinate, then be destroyed!"

"Who lives and who dies is not yet certain!"

Lu Luo clenched his fist again, and layers of tendrils reappeared.

But these gnarled and formidable tendrils were all instantly vaporized by the annihilating black fog; the mighty Devourer seemed to be collapsing.

Refusing to show weakness, Lu Luo slowly ascended into the sky.

Countless eyeballs shot beams towards him.

Demon of a Thousand Eyes, King of the Wicked Gaze.

Eye Beams!

All the energy from the Eye Beams poured into Lu Luo's eyes. In that moment, Lu Luo's eyes became the embodiment of the Observer.

No will could block the energy of those eyes.

Destruction erupted in an instant.

BOOM!

Yang did not retreat either. In the Destroyer's fighting style, dodging or retreating were never options.

She only needed to fight head-on, a clash of energies, and she would not lose.

Such is the power of destruction.

"Lu Luo, you're too naive."

Black mist slowly condensed, forming a black sword in front of Yang.

The black sword shot out instantly, a dark judgment descending upon Lu Luo's Eye Beams in a flash.

The power of his Eye Beams was shattered effortlessly. Layers of black energy pierced through the Eye Beams and even his eyes.

AH!

Lu Luo cried out in pain, covering his eyes with slight anguish.

He was blinded—completely.

The Destroyer's power broke the most basic rules of his body; his current form could no longer be restored by the Fusioner Sequence.

The Destroyer's power reigned supreme over all Sequence Powers.

This was the most terrifying part.

Covering his eyes, layers of black mist slipped from Lu Luo's fingertips.

What flowed from his eyes was not blood, but black mist.

The destructive black mist had completely replaced Lu Luo's eyes.

When Lu Luo lowered his hands, his hollow eye sockets were horrifying.

But such an injury did not extinguish the fighting spirit in Lu Luo's heart; instead, it drove him further into a battle frenzy.

"Incredible! Who could have expected the power of destruction to be so outrageous? With merely a light touch, it could destroy one of my most powerful attacks. Remarkable, truly remarkable."

As he spoke, Lu Luo even applauded, as if praising his opponent.

But the expression on Yang's face was not so pleasant.

A light touch? Heh, how could outsiders possibly know the power required by the destructive black mist? Only she herself understood that the collision with Lu Luo just now had indeed been a life-and-death struggle. It was just that, from the outcome, she had won. Lu Luo had lost that exchange, but this wouldn't affect the battle's true outcome. The fight had only just begun.

"Lu Luo, you are gravely injured. Show your true form!"

Yang was very aware that Lu Luo's current state was not his most complete.

He was still maintaining a human form.

The true battle form was the ultimate state of his aberrant nature.

Many couldn't see Lu Luo's true form, but she could. From the first moment she saw Lu Luo, she knew he was definitely not human. At least, not a normal human. No human could effectively control an Exotic Species form. So Lu Luo leaned more towards being an Exotic Species.

"True form? Hehehe~! HAHAHAHA!"

Lu Luo touched his hollow eye sockets and suddenly burst into laughter.

Although his eyes could no longer see, the effects of the Observer Sequence were not diminished.

In his perception, Yang was still as clear as a holographic projection.

This was why Lu Luo, despite being blinded, remained completely unconcerned.

"My true form is quite expensive. To see it, you have to pay the price of your life, Yang. Are you ready?"

"Then let's try it!"

Lu Luo sneered, his teeth breaking his own lip.

A smear of blood lingered on the corner of his mouth, and then, his body instantly swelled.

Ultimate Moment!

Muscles began to grow, scales covering his entire body.

Lu Luo quickly grew from 1.9 meters to around 4 meters in height.

Black demonic horns extended from his head.

Energy gathered on the horns, and a thick tail dragged on the ground, maintaining balance while providing Lu Luo with an additional means of attack.

Knotted muscles covered his whole body, and his strength reached an unprecedented level.

A strength of 3,000—it had certainly surpassed any Exotic Species.

Even compared to an Angel Envoy, he was hardly inferior.

This was because Lu Luo had previously absorbed the body of Convex.

The physical strength of an Angel Envoy had allowed Lu Luo's own power to grow to an unbelievable level.

HA!

Copious amounts of venom drooled from the corners of Lu Luo's mouth, contaminating and corroding everything around.

Lu Luo's hollow gaze turned towards Yang.

"This is the Ultimate Moment you asked for!"

ROAR!

Lu Luo let out a furious roar at Yang, the immense pressure making even Yang feel somewhat unnatural.

At this moment, Lu Luo definitely possessed strength comparable to an Angel Envoy.

Perhaps he was not as strong as the most powerful Angel Envoy, but a regular Angel Envoy was definitely not as strong as Lu Luo was now.

So he has gained this strength after devouring Convex's body? Yang thought.

"No, you don't understand—even without his body, my power wouldn't be much less! Since you want to see it, then pay the price!"

Lu Luo's body vanished in an instant. Even with just simple physical movement, he created a sonic boom, breaking the sound barrier.

Ordinary people would have long since lost sight of such movement speed.

Even to a top expert like Yang, Lu Luo's speed seemed instantaneous.

She could only catch fleeting glimpses!

Too fast!

Sensing danger, Yang instantly released a black ring.

The black ring spread outward—an excellent defensive maneuver.

Because no matter from which angle Lu Luo attacked, he would encounter the black ring.

The power of the black ring was undeniable. If Lu Luo were to attack forcefully...

Huh? Yang, who had just had this thought, was immediately dumbfounded.

Because Lu Luo had already broken through the black ring.

He withstood the black fog with his physical body and charged right up to Yang.

"Die~!"

BANG!

Lu Luo slapped Yang's face, and the tremendous force sent Yang flying instantaneously.

As the Destroyer, an envoy of energy and the embodiment of destruction, Yang's physique had never been particularly strong.

Enhancing her body was unnecessary for her, as no creature could break through the black ring's defense.

But now, things were different. Lu Luo's power was too strong, his body too tough.

Even the destructive black fog was now helpless against Lu Luo!

Lying on the ground, Yang couldn't understand. Lu Luo's physical strength was indeed great, but it should have been impossible for him to withstand the Destroyer aura so directly. How exactly did he do it?

"Your defense isn't quite like a normal Angel Envoy's. It seems you have secrets I don't know about."

As the former master of the Doomsday Disc, the Destroyer certainly knew the Sequence hierarchy.

Therefore, Yang was well aware of which Sequences Lu Luo possessed.

Although these Sequences—Devourer, Fusioner, Observer—were powerful, Yang had never cared much for them.

Because she knew none of them were her equal.

If she were serious, she could easily break through these Sequence defenses, harm Lu Luo, and defeat him.

But the defensive power Lu Luo had just displayed surpassed that of a normal Angel Envoy.

To withstand the Destroyer aura directly was, in Yang's view, utterly inconceivable.

"Lu Luo, do you have a Sequence capable of defending against the power of destruction?"

"Yes, I do. It's called Faithless."

Lu Luo readily admitted it; by now, he no longer needed to hide.

The power of Faithless was bound to be revealed to all eventually.

At this moment, Lu Luo had transformed from a challenger to the challenged.

This shift in mindset meant he no longer concealed his abilities. It imbued him with unprecedented will, confidence, and an unstoppable momentum.

At their level, momentum, confidence, and willpower were all crucial.

These seemingly insignificant factors could even decide a battle's final outcome.

"Faithless?"

Yang had never heard of this Sequence before and asked with slight curiosity, "What kind of Sequence is this? Does it have a ranking?"

"Naturally, it does. It's Sequence 0, the truly strongest Sequence."

Sequence 0? Upon hearing this, Yang instinctively wanted to laugh. Sequence 0? Didn't that mean it was ranked above hers? How ludicrous! How could there possibly be a Sequence in this world more powerful than hers? But as much as she wanted to laugh, she couldn't. Lu Luo had just thoroughly demonstrated the effect of Faithless. Withstanding the Destroyer aura directly—no further explanation was needed! A Sequence that could resist the Destroyer aura—would it be wrong to call it Sequence 0? Yang didn't know. But she was certain that if any Sequence could truly stop her, then it deserved a higher ranking. That was only natural.

"Impressive!"

"Yes, it is indeed an impressive Sequence, for it is a Sequence of humankind. It is born from human strength—something you have never understood."

Lu Luo, who had been manic, unexpectedly calmed down.

It was as if his previous frenzy had all been a facade.

At this moment, Lu Luo was like a devout believer, with Faithless as his creed.

"I am 'superstitious'; I believe in my own strength, my own experiences. I believe even more in my own will. I am Faithless; therefore, I am invincible!"

Lu Luo's body charged forward once again. Just as he said, Faithless was the power of humanity.

What was the essence of being human? This was a question Lu Luo had always contemplated. According to biological principles, his traits had long since ceased to be human. But that was unimportant; Lu Luo always considered himself human. So, the question remained: did he truly count as human? Idealism or materialism? It was difficult to judge. However, Lu Luo was certain of one thing: the will of humanity acknowledged him. Because Faithless is the will of humanity. The will of humanity is to learn! Faithless itself grants an unprecedented learning ability: to study a multitude of Exotic Species, imitate and enhance their traits, and ultimately synthesize these effects within oneself. I witness, I enhance, I grow. And finally, I am invincible. It was precisely because of this that Lu Luo was convinced he had always been human. And for that, he fought.

"Feel the power of humanity!"

BOOM!

Lu Luo punched Yang in the chest. The blow caved in the chest of the female-form Destroyer.

As Yang was sent flying, Lu Luo pursued even faster!

Before Yang even landed, Lu Luo's Hundred Fierce Bombardment rained down upon her.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The air exploded. Under Lu Luo's assault, Yang was like rootless duckweed drifting in the air.

Die! Die! Die!

Lu Luo madly clawed, bit, and tore!

Just as he was about to kill Yang completely, a mechanical arm extended from her body, blocking Lu Luo's blow.

Lu Luo looked at the mechanical arm, hesitating for a moment.

He knew this arm belonged to Noah! At this juncture, had Noah still not given up on Yang? These were indeed their respective choices!

"Noah, since this is your choice, don't blame me then!"

Spiral energy mixed with Netherflame constricted around the mechanical arm!

Energy was infused into the metal arm, and the chaotic power made it unable to resist any longer.

Soon, the arm crumbled to powder under Lu Luo's assault!

But this momentary defense bought Yang some time.

Yang hung her head low, black mist coiling around her, her expression completely obscured.

However, Lu Luo could sense she was still experiencing emotional fluctuations.

So Noah and she had developed feelings for each other after all! Could emotions truly arise between Exotic Species? It seemed a ridiculous question. Not just humans, but even Exotic Species themselves generally didn't acknowledge such things as emotions. Even between parent and child. Once offspring grew to a certain extent, patricide and similar acts were far too common. Thus, emotions were virtually nonexistent among Exotic Species. But were emotions between Exotic Species truly laughable? Lu Luo didn't think so. He had always believed many Exotic Species possessed emotions. Take the Specter Species, for example; they were the very embodiment of emotion. And the love between Noah and Yang seemed fated.

"He's dead," Yang said, her voice low.

"He died as he deserved."

"Lu Luo, do you realize what you have done wrong?"

"Right and wrong are not for outsiders to judge."

"Hmph! I hope you won't regret it."

Yang's body began to convulse. The black mist of destruction twisted, then started burrowing into her own body.

THUD!

A forceful heartbeat made even Lu Luo tremble.

THUD!

Again! And a third time, until the heartbeat reached its zenith.

Yang's body began to transform.

The same musculature, the same black color.

The same height of around four meters, the same immense strength!

A four-meter-tall female titan appeared before Lu Luo.

Only, Lu Luo's form was black and red, while Yang's was pure black.

Her flesh absorbed every last trace of the destructive aura.

Everything returned to its primal origin.

The Destroyer's second form, Great Annihilation!

"Lu Luo, let me feel the power of your Faithless."

Yang's voice boomed from the titan's mouth as her speed exploded, even surpassing Lu Luo's.

Fortunately, empowered by steam, Lu Luo wasn't slow either!

As Yang moved, Lu Luo reacted instantly, throwing a punch.

Their fists collided mid-air.

BOOM!

The shockwave swept out, and the already shattered sky fractured anew!

All clouds dispersed, and every airborne creature was stunned by this strike.

Lu Luo and Yang's figures crisscrossed in the sky.

Their bodies constantly collided, each impact causing strong spatial distortions.

Fissures already snaked across every corner of the sky.

Outsiders couldn't see what was happening in the sky.

They could only feel the earth-shattering power radiating from the two combatants.

And wave after wave of shockwaves.

The two Eighth Order War Gods were silent. This level of power... even they wouldn't dare claim certain victory against it. And the Seventh Tiers fared even worse; what did they count for in the face of such devastating power?
