Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'-Chapter 1355 - 283: Void Line: Path to the [White Wolf] Ending (8)_4

Crack!

The Black Hole Sword was shattered to pieces. Li Aozi pushed away his chest, seized the advantage, raised his sharp blade, and stabbed toward Leoz's heart.

At that moment, Leoz thought: perhaps, [Twilight Duke] is right.

Violence, when reaching a certain level, is truly just the most insignificant thing.

A single word, a spirit, an idea, a concept.

A purely subjective, metaphysical force.

These things cannot be sliced by swords nor shattered by physics.

It doesn't depend on how strong your strength is, how large a stone you can shatter, nor how great you can be to create the heaven and earth, sun, and moon.

[Twilight Duke], or rather the strength of the [Void] Pathway's Quasi-Supreme God, is unattainable for cannon fodder deities like Leoz for a lifetime.

Just like beasts only know how to bite and scratch, but humans use bows and spears.

Leoz is that beast.

And humans have already evolved to the point where they don't even need weapons; merely through industrial pollution, they can casually annihilate fierce beasts.

"Leoz, what is the meaning of your existence?"

None, the changes brought by Leoz during his life could not shake the entire Starry Abyss.

"Leoz, what is the meaning of your death?"

None, the impact of Leoz's death also cannot change the Earth-Starry Abyss spiral system.

"Leoz, does your existence or nonexistence have any meaning?"

No impact, losing one Leoz in that era will simply have Lei Aozi and Zhang Aozi rise.

What he loves will eventually be erased, what he hates will disappear with time.

The anchor point here ultimately cannot withstand the years.

The promise made to him by the Primordial Species will be forgotten in the next era.

Ultimately nothing more than a handful of yellow earth.

Death leads to the Nether Abyss, then the cycle begins anew.

Annihilation, just disperses, while rivers continue to flow eastward as usual.

Does all this really have meaning?

No.

Leoz cannot deny this point.

In the realm above violence, he was utterly defeated, from Gaia till now, he has never stepped or expanded in this realm, destined by origin, fated not to touch this metaphysical abstract domain, merely to walk here as a solitary executioner and assassin, unable to proceed further.

He lost.

Not because he wasn't strong enough, but because this struggle surpassed the limits of violence, physical critique couldn't contend with definition power on the level of spiritual thought.

Leoz lost cleanly, undeniably.

He lost not only to [Twilight Duke] and the Void, but also to himself.

The blade of the black hole was shattered by the sword tip of humanity, Leoz was defeated by Li Aozi, the conscientiousness and continuance concept of humanity preserved the final line of defense, for humans, this was the greatest victory.

Li Aozi won.

This infinitely abstract split opposition forcibly separated him into a diverse individual, if his divinity side overwhelmed his humanity, then he too lost.

Because the self-lost Leoz was no longer Leoz, just like the 'Ship of Theseus' in Earth's myth, a ship that keeps replacing parts, installing watertight compartments, changing the dragon bone, adding fusion engines in order to sail on — in the end, except for its name, everything else was no longer the original ship that set sail.

If traditional violent confrontation is a contest between two athletes, then opposing [Twilight Duke] like a Quasi-Supreme God is letting an Olympic athlete contest against the entire IOC staff and organizers.

The rules and judgment are in the opponent's hand, what do you win with?

When 'definition power' is all in the opponent's hand, even if you have the great power to annihilate Starry Abyss, you are merely an ape capable of smashing big stones.

He lost.

Lost without grievance, after all, none would regard losing to the referee as shameful.

Besides, fighting with the Void was an inherently meaningless endeavor, what if you win? Or if you lose?

No meaning.

However, when Li Aozi's sharp blade pierced Leoz's chest, the long-lost stabbing pain seemed so abrupt.

Meaning.

Leoz murmured, the blood inside him burning fiercely like fire.

"Meaning, isn't it here?"

His body, leaning backward, suddenly stiffened in midair.

"What nonsense are you talking?" [Twilight Duke] frowned: "You've already been defeated by yourself, whether you kill your humanity side next, be killed, or kill me, you still lose."

"I can define the standards of nihilism at will, can you still define yourself?"

"Leoz, admit it, you shouldn't have stepped into this void."

Crack.

Li Aozi's blade was caught by a big hand.

"If Leoz's existence is truly without meaning."

Leoz straightened up, his eyes burst forth with silver light:

"Then let the [Blacksmith] tell you — forging and smithing the entire world is my meaning!"

The next moment, his figure abruptly rose, Li Aozi's blade broke and melted instantly, endless iron flow swirled around Leoz's body, he clenched his fist, and fiercely smashed down on Li Aozi.

Crack!

Li Aozi's head was instantly destroyed by the fiery iron flow, scorching hot turning into countless sharp blades, piercing his skin, quickly rotating and cutting, before being pulverized into flesh, it had already turned to ashes.

"Leoz may need definition, but Earthlings don't buy your set."

Leoz's face armor split in the middle, revealing a fierce and terrifying smile:
