N-M Chapter 142 The Black Sun
Chapter 142 The Black Sun
There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any devastating light.
Yes, but it's a silent process of being swallowed up.
A black storm that devoured everything erupted instantly, centered on that "sun".
The tree branch that was about to pierce through the two of them instantly turned into dust.
I felt the terror of "Return to the Ruins".
It instantly abandoned its attack on Lu Li and the other person, and frantically tried to escape.
But... it was too late.
Once "Return to the Void" is started, it cannot be stopped.
An irresistible and terrifying suction force erupted from that black sun.
"No! No!!"
Suddenly, that enormous body was forcibly pulled toward that black sun.
Its branches, its trunk, its thousands of distorted faces... even its power were silently crushed, decomposed, and transformed into the most primitive particles the moment they came into contact with darkness.
The moment you realize the ending is already predetermined.
He suddenly roared, "How is this possible!"
"How could I possibly die in something like this—"
next moment.
The black sun, along with its defiant roar, was swallowed up.
After the storm.
The battlefield was completely empty.
It vanished in an instant.
The blood-stained prison has vanished.
Everything disappeared.
Bai Heng's remains have vanished.
Lu Li also disappeared.
Only a ruler, restored to its original state, jet black and unsharpened, remained, silently floating in the center of the universe.
It seemed to be recounting the outcome of the fierce battle that had just taken place.
We won...
Luofu... won.
But no one cheered.
All the surviving Cloud Cavalry soldiers stared blankly at the empty starry sky, their faces filled with sorrow and confusion.
They won.
But the price... was too high.
General Teng Xiao was killed in battle.
Countless comrades died in battle.
Bai Heng, one of the Five Heroes of the Clouds, also died.
And the hero who single-handedly turned the tide of battle... perished along with the enemy.
Yingxing, Danfeng, and Jingyuan stood rooted to the spot, like statues that had lost their souls.
Jingliu stared blankly at the black sword floating in the void, motionless.
They watched helplessly as Bai Heng forcibly activated "Return to the Void," and as the "absolutely dark sun" unleashed its all-consuming light, engulfing the two of them.
Bai Heng...
Lu Li...
They...are all dead.
……
Outside the canopy, everyone was stunned.
died?
Lu Li... just like that, he died?
Did they perish together?
No...no way?
Lord Lu Li... he...
Why?! Why did this happen?! We finally won, why do we have to die?!
[Waaaaah... My pure love god... My father... How could you leave like this!]
[Where's Bai Heng? How is Bai Heng? Wasn't she being held in Lu Li's arms?]
[Even the messenger wouldn't survive in that situation... I guess...]
I can't accept this! I can't accept this ending!
[You bastard Tianmu! Give me back Lu Li! Give me back Bai Heng!]
The entire interstellar network was instantly plunged into an ocean of sorrow.
Countless viewers wept bitterly for Lu Li's sacrifice.
They never expected it to end like this.
Lu Li did not die in an attempt to kill Shu Hu.
He did this so that the brave girl who was willing to sacrifice herself for her companions wouldn't be alone...
This man, in the end, showed them once again what it means to be both strong and gentle in this way.
……
On the Starry Sky Train.
"No...no..."
March 7th covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face like beads from a broken string.
She kept shaking her head, unable to believe what she was seeing.
"Lu Li... Bai Heng... how... how could they die..."
Xing's eyes reddened, and she bit her lip tightly to keep herself from crying out loud.
Dan Heng's face was as pale as paper.
He stared at the lone black sword in the sky, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Himeko and Welt also looked deeply saddened.
"They... gave their lives for the victory of Luofu." Himeko closed her eyes, her voice choked with emotion.
"He and Bai Heng... are true heroes." Walter sighed.
Kafka, who had been silent all along, now had an unusually terrifying expression.
Her body was trembling slightly.
It's not because of sadness.
Rather, it was because of... extreme anger.
"Heh...hehe..."
She suddenly chuckled softly, her laughter filled with chilling murderous intent.
"It's happening again..."
"It's happening again!"
"Ah Li!"
She suddenly looked at Lu Li.
A terrifying aura emanated from her, causing the atmosphere in the entire carriage to plummet to freezing point.
Because the ending was completely different from what he had expected, Lu Li, still in a daze, thought: "???"
Wait, who offended this lady again?!
Kafka stared intently at Lu Li.
She thought that Tianmu was telling the story of Lu Li and Jing Liu, but she didn't expect that Tianmu had deceived them all.
This story is about Lu Li and that little fox spirit named Bai Heng.
But if there are fox spirits, then there are fox spirits; this isn't the first one anyway.
But what she found most unbearable was—
"For that woman, you died in front of me once again!"
"Do you really enjoy being a hero that much?!"
"You really enjoy... dying for others?!"
Her eyes had turned bloodshot, burning with flames of "paranoid" and "madness".
"I won't let you die..."
"This time, I will never let you leave me again!"
"You are mine! You can only be mine!"
Himeko and Welt's expressions changed drastically, and they immediately stood in front of Lu Li.
"Kafka! Calm down!"
"He's not the person in the sky!"
However, Kafka wouldn't listen to any of it.
All she could see was Lu Li, sitting on the sofa with a bewildered expression.
Just as she was about to rush over without thinking...
The scene in the sky changed once again.
……
Suddenly, the black sword that had been silently floating in space emitted a soft "hum".
Immediately afterwards, faint white light emanated from the blade.
The number of light spots increased, and they became brighter and brighter.
Finally, they coalesced into a human shape on the spot.
It’s Lu Li!
He floated quietly in the universe with his eyes closed, as if he were just asleep.
There were no wounds on his body, not even a trace of blood.
Although his face was as pale as a sheet of paper, he looked extremely weak.
But... he's still alive!
He... didn't die!
