Chapter 282: How Lucky to Work for Mr. Viktor
Three-colored magical power erupted from the mouth of the colossal beast that blotted out the sky.
The rolling dark clouds and surging waves split apart, creating an enormous chasm.
At this moment, the violent magical power seemed to transform into the world's fury, suddenly lifting the seabed from the ocean's depths.
The earth shattered, and the cloud layers reversed.
The air fell into endless stagnation, with only energy compressed together, completely piercing through space to form a massive channel.
The grand formation array chanted by countless mages fully expanded, with intricate and complex patterns and runes intersecting with each other.
Thousands of magical power streams converged towards the center of the formation. The thick magical power gathered, dropping dazzling white light downward, continuously pouring out energy.
At this moment, the magic array reversed, completely draining all the mages' magical power.
The attack formed by natural energy seemed about to shatter the entire world.
The different-colored lights chaotically expanded together, forming a black void in the center, like a dark star devouring everything.
The thick cloud layers and ocean that had been split in half were now completely swallowed by that void.
The surrounding hundred miles of sea area seemed to have been hollowed out into a giant pit.
Dozale and Reilis couldn't even resist. In the next second, that energy carrying the aura of destruction engulfed the two Calamities.
Even the natural sparrow observing the battlefield dispersed its form under this terrifying attack, submerged in that boundless void.
People who were intently watching this battle stared at the light blue screen, but in the next second, the entire image became unstable.
After a flash of light, the whole screen was invaded by darkness, completely cutting off connection with the Padalenbu Sea area.
People stared blankly at the blackened screen for a few seconds before becoming extremely depressed.
They beat their chests and stamped their feet in great dissatisfaction.
"What about the aftermath! Why did it end there!"
At that instant.
Heim Horn looked at the incoming white light with great calmness.
"As expected."
"[The Judgment that Strips All Phenomena], this title really—"
Wasn't wrong.
The next second, the white light roared, seeming to swallow his voice as well.
The world fell into complete silence, and even the rumbling sounds could no longer be heard.
Even the sound of wind and heartbeats seemed to have never existed.
Time's flow became extremely slow, as light pierced into the retinas, as if the brilliant warmth gradually buried everyone completely.
Heavy and terrifying pressure poured into the entire world.
It was as if every inch of soil, every inch of skin became twisted and shriveled in this chaotic ocean.
Everything fell into an ocean of shock, as if the interior of all things was filled to the brim with this terrible pressure.
Finally—the rain stopped.
The sky of the entire world seemed to have burst open, and instantly, the land for thousands of miles became incredibly pure and peaceful.
Not a cloud in sight for thousands of miles,
The sky cleared up.
Gentle breeze accompanied by warm spring sunshine shone on everyone's faces.
The mages raised their hands to shield their eyes, seeing the somewhat dazzling sunlight.
They were still alive.
After coming to their senses from the frightening experience, the mages looked towards the center of the ocean.
A huge void had been carved out in the middle of the sea area.
It was bottomless.
The energy had finally broken through its limits, and even that sea forest could no longer resist.

The terrifying magical power still lingered in the entire sea area, floating lightly like wisps of clouds.
The thick and chaotic elemental magical power seemed to have disappeared instantly from this sea area.
The surrounding seawater continuously surged towards the huge deep pit, as if trying to fill it completely, but while the abyss was filled with ocean currents, no surface water rose up.
Was the seawater hollowed out?
Looking at the scene before them, people felt somewhat shocked.
For a moment, they could only respond with silence.
Just now, what kind of magic was that?
Perhaps... only the user himself knows.
Countless mages' gazes turned towards the center of the sea surface.
That was where Viktor had been,
And now, both Viktor and that blonde girl had disappeared.
Looking at the position where Viktor vanished, Duke Levi's emotions became a tangled mess.
Sometimes anxious, sometimes relieved.
......
On a certain island in Padalenbu.
This place seemed to have been created out of thin air by mysterious magic, appearing peaceful and stable amidst this tumultuous ocean.
Even the crabs were still digging through the sand, crawling towards the surging ocean.
Henie stood on the island, her large black robe fluttering in the sea breeze.
She stood on the towering rocks, gazing into the distance.
From the moment the Water Calamity was summoned, she had already left the destroyed Sea City.
When that intense white light suddenly lit up in the distance, it was as if the entire world had lost its color.
"Is it over?"
The voice murmured, and Henie's eyes carried a hint of complexity.
She had seen the Professor's battle, it was brilliant.
Henie believed she had helped the Professor, and she was happy about that.
However, when she saw Erica appear as well, Henie fell into confusion.
She saw Erica fighting alongside the Professor, together releasing that powerful and amazing magic.
Speaking again, her voice carried traces of bewilderment as she asked:
"Mr. Crocodile... do I need to atone?"
Through the mechanism of Sea City, she had offered up all those sea people who had to obey orders.
Although they were already living in Sea City as fodder for the Water Calamity, and their existence and death had no difference.
But this was different.
Because of her actions, their death was hastened.
Even after death, their souls couldn't rest in peace.
They were forced to become tools, emitting the last bit of use from their souls.
However, in reality, Henie didn't regret it.
She still remembered what the little fish city lord had said, and knew well what those people had done in life.
They had polluted the sea and deserved their punishment, their deaths weren't regrettable.
However, their deaths had come through Henie's hands.
At this moment, Henie couldn't calm her heart at all,
Her body was even trembling slightly.
But Professor Viktor needed her to do this.
Only through sacrifice could the ocean's incarnation be summoned, and only through sacrifice could she help the Professor.
For the Professor, by her own hands, she extinguished the flame of life of a hundred thousand lives.
Although she was extremely afraid, but...
If there was another chance, she would still make the same choice.
At this time, Mr. Crocodile spoke up, his deep voice breaking the silence:
"I must say, this time."
"You were even more outstanding than I expected."
Henie couldn't help but feel stunned:
"Eh?"
She stood frozen in place, letting the sea breeze blow her hair tips.
A red-scaled crocodile sat quietly behind Henie, its huge crimson claws stroking its belly.
It hadn't gone back since coming out, staying comfortably in the outside world for a long time, very happy.
It had been a long time since it had stayed outside so comfortably, and even wanted to wander into the sea for a turn.
Unfortunately, Leighton had eaten too much, to the extent that it didn't want to move at all now.
The anger produced in the battle between Calamities, also as emotions, became Leighton's food.
Leighton found that being able to become a member of the Kravina family and work for Viktor was incredibly lucky.
Besides being well-fed, there was also Henie, a girl who seemed fragile but was very friendly to demons, making it feel very comfortable.
There was just one thing that made Leighton slightly dissatisfied.
Viktor wouldn't allow it to kill people at will.
But over this period of time, as a demon with intelligence, Leighton also understood a rule.
In the current human society, one couldn't randomly kill humans.
And it wasn't just Viktor, even its host, Henie, was too gentle.
So this time, when Henie sent away a hundred thousand people, it made Leighton applaud with approval.
Leighton spat and said fiercely:
"I've always said, in this world, if you don't like someone, just fight them directly, there's no need for so many damn reasons!"
"Eh, but... but..."
"Because your fist is strong enough!"
Before Henie could finish, Leighton interrupted directly.
Its fierce voice continued to sound from the side:
"As a demon, the most important thing is to do as you please."
"Stop fucking torturing yourself!!"
Henie was slightly stunned, feeling somewhat confused in her heart:
"I..."
Leighton seemed a bit impatient, opening its huge mouth.
"Remember this, little girl."
"In this world, no one will talk fondly about an obedient child."
It lowered its head and lay down, like a real crocodile.
But it wasn't so, instead it spoke human words, with even a clearly tempting tone in its voice.
"Obedient children don't get candy."
......
"Indeed, you're just like what the Professor said."
When the voice sounded, the crocodile was stunned, its two torch-like burning eyes widening.
But at this moment Henie suddenly smiled, her smile looking particularly intoxicating under the gentle sunlight.
"Every demon is skilled at tempting people's hearts."
"Therefore, the Professor taught me that I must remain vigilant against your demons' words and stay true to my heart."
As the words fell, Henie put one hand on the button of her black robe, suddenly pulled hard, and the robe slid down.
The robe fell onto the sea surface, getting soaked by the waves.
Henie put her hand behind her neck, lifted her hair, tossed her head, showing a grand and elegant demeanor.
Her beauty burst forth like a bonfire under the night sky, overflowing from her body and dispersing to the surroundings.
Those bright amber eyes looked into the distance, hiding expectant light in their brightness, like stars, deep and dazzling.
"Your temptation seems to work quite well."
The crocodile looked behind Henie, somewhat stunned.
It could feel that in Henie's heart, some special desire seemed to have arisen.
"I've already killed a hundred thousand people."
She smiled gently, her golden eyes reflecting the brilliant sea.
The smile at the corner of her mouth was like a sharp curved blade, deeply imprinted into the depths of the world.
She tilted her head, smiling gently, looking up at the sea surface where golden light floated, the corners of her mouth seeming to have become a sharp curved blade, piercing into the world's heart.
That large black robe seemed to slowly drift away with her gaze, until it was rolled up and submerged by the surging ocean.
"Why can't I try—"
"To be a bad child?"
