NOVEL NEXT Chapter181-The Fall of the Star God
Hathaway calmly watched its movements, with no intention of stopping it.
That calmness came from her absolute confidence in her own strength!
"I advise you to leave now while you still have the chance to save your life."
Rance's voice was low, trying to issue one final warning.
Beside him, Zeth's gaze was like that of a venomous snake, fixated on Hathaway.
Unfortunately, the power disparity between them was immense.
Even Rance wasn't a match for her, and Zeth, being new to the Authority rank, was even more insignificant.
Boom!
The void space was torn apart once again!
A Void Devourer with twisted horns and an even older aura stepped out.
It too exuded the terrifying energy of a Peak Authority Walker!
"Is it you, this worm, desecrating my race?"
Jins's gaze locked onto the figure in the void.
Then, his expression tightened.
Peak Authority Walker?!
How could such an existence be found outside?!
Rance and Zeth quickly gathered beside him.
"This person's strength is terrifying... I'm no match for her."
Rance said in a deep voice.
Jins snorted coldly. "So what? Under the power of my race, you will only face the fate of being devoured!"
Buzz—
The surrounding space twisted violently, and countless dark, ominous runes materialized, weaving into a massive net of laws!
A force strong enough to erode a divine essence silently approached Hathaway!
"Kill her!"
A cold voice echoed from the void.
Rance, Jins, and Zeth no longer hesitated.
Three powerful devouring forces erupted, attacking Hathaway from three directions!
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
The deafening sounds of energy collisions echoed continuously!
The entire Abyss of Devouring seemed to cry out, with the spatial structure cracking apart, resembling an apocalyptic scene!
Hathaway, with her overwhelming strength, stood firm, fighting three opponents!
But just then,
The void rippled again, and another shadow appeared!
Hens!
Another Peak Authority Walker!
It was clear that the ominous law power just now had come from him.
Now, four of the strongest Void Devourers were attacking Hathaway alone!
Yet Hathaway's figure stood like a mountain, not retreating a single step.
The five figures were locked in an intense battle.
Brilliant starlight collided with dark devouring energy, annihilating each other!
Boom!
Hens once again triggered the Abyssal power.
Terrifying energy poured out from all directions of the void, intensifying the collapse of space.
No one knew how long had passed.
With a chilling scream, the weakest Zeth could no longer hold on and exploded, falling from the battle circle.
Rance, Jins, and Hens's faces were as dark as water.
The four Peak Existences working together couldn't suppress their opponent?!
How could such a terrifying being exist in this world?!
What they were witnessing completely shattered their understanding!
Their race had always been the strongest existence encountered in any world, with no life form able to withstand them.
But this woman not only held her ground, she was even forcing them to retreat!
It was simply unbelievable!
"So, is this all the strength your Void Devourers have?"
Hathaway suddenly spoke coldly.
The few Devourers froze, and then their fury ignited.
"If you have no worthy opponents, then you might as well prepare for your journey!"
Hathaway's tone was tinged with disdain.
The arena fell into a deathly silence, except for the continuous clashes of energy.
The next moment,
A malicious laugh echoed from the deepest part of the abyss.
"...Interesting!"
"We, the Void Devourers, have always been the ones to devour starry beings, but this is the first time someone dares to enter the Abyss of Devouring alone and challenge our existence."
The sound of clear footsteps drew near.
A figure, resembling a human but surrounded by a dark aura, slowly walked forward.
The ruler of the Void Devourer race—The Shadow of Annihilation, Morse!
"Lord Ruler!"
Upon seeing him, Rance and the others were visibly excited.
They hadn't expected the ruler to end his slumber early.
"Ruler, please bring about the destruction for us!"
Zeth struggled to approach, his voice filled with resentment and pleading.
However, Morse didn't even glance at him.
His eyes, which seemed to devour light itself, were fixed directly on Hathaway in the void.
"You are quite a dazzling presence."
Morse's face twisted into a smile.
But to any intelligent being, that smile only meant ultimate danger and madness.
"You are a filthy and ugly existence."
Hathaway responded indifferently.
Instantly, Morse's smile froze, replaced by an overwhelming fierceness and murderous intent!
Rance and the others, not knowing when, had already respectfully retreated behind him, preparing for the attack.
A battle that would shake the very core of the Abyss of Devouring was about to erupt!
That battle,
Half of the Unknown Land was shattered.
Countless Void Devourers were turned to dust by the residual shockwaves of the battle.
Hathaway, with her own power, fought five of the Abyss's strongest, striking terror into the hearts of the entire Void Devourer race!
However, in the end, she did not manage to destroy the entire race.
Her failure stemmed from the rejection of this Unknown Land itself!
Deep within the Abyss of Devouring, Morse had nearly fused with the plane's origin, making him near-immortal!
No matter how many times Hathaway severely wounded or killed him, through the countless fervent self-sacrifices of the Void Devourers, he could always absorb the Abyssal power and reshape himself!
And the Devourers bore no grievance about this, as in their twisted understanding, offering everything to the Supreme Ruler was the highest honor!
"Hahaha! Pathetic worm! You can't kill me!"
"When your divine power is exhausted, I will devour your world, inch by inch, and let all things wail as your final lamentation!!"
Morse's shrill voice echoed through the broken void.
Boom!
After another violent clash, Hathaway staggered slightly, retreating a few steps.
Her aura was no longer at its peak, and the starlight gradually dimmed.
Whoosh—
Hathaway's face was grim.
Especially seeing Morse's increasingly arrogant face due to his immortality.
But she refused to retreat, as it would leave endless hidden dangers.
So, she chose the most decisive way—unleashing all of her origins to deliver a final strike!
With a terrifying explosion that seemed capable of breaking the plane, the entire Abyss of Devouring suffered unprecedented devastation!
"Madwoman! You are a complete madwoman!!"
Morse's furious roar was drowned in the wave of destruction.
...
In the Sacred Empire Palace,
Hathaway snapped out of her distant memories.
Back then, she had underestimated the Abyss's foundation and the twisted symbiosis of that race.
But this time, she would not repeat her mistake.
Relying on numbers?
Self-sacrifice of the race?
Trying to repeat the old play?
Fine, I'll accompany you to the end!
Let me see what final trump cards you have left to resist me.
At this moment, a subtle, transcendent aura began to emanate from Hathaway's body.
A sign that she was about to step into the Authority Lord rank!
