Light Fortress Chapter 1907 - 6: The Netherworld King’s High-Stakes Gamble (Part 3)
Previously on Light Fortress...
"Good luck."
Gu Shen smiled slightly and said, "And good luck to me as well."
...
...
The Initial hovered in the vast void of the Old World. After the land shattered, the gravity here underwent subtle changes.
Due to the ravages of the Source Material Storm.
This void sprouted many black spots.
The bronze hatch of the Initial opened, and a small baby drifted in the void.
Eyes bright and dazzling, like burning light.
The baby gazed at the massive ship in front, eyes resolute.
"Next... I will initiate the ’Time Restriction’ to strike against you."
Alf’s voice slowly echoed in Gu Shen’s Heart Lake.
On the other side of the bronze hatch.
Bai Xiu stood quietly. Alf hovered on Little Xiuzi’s shoulder, its surface stained with a faint wisp of flame—a remnant of the Spirit from the Lord of Love’s fantasy. Now, in confinement, Gu Shen could only squeeze out such a tiny light fire, much like when the Transcendent first awakened.
Yet, this wisp of flame, though small, was extremely crucial.
This is the only clue Alf has to confirm Gu Shen’s "spiritual status."
"If this wisp shows signs of extinguishing, I will remove the restriction."
Alf whispered, "I remind you again... entering the Valley Goddess’s ’Time Restriction’ might cause significant harm. Are you sure you want to do this?"
The baby drifted in the void, slowly stabilizing its body.
The Spiritual Link in the void was already very weak.
"..."
Gu Shen slowly nodded toward the bronze hatch, indicating readiness.
"Okay."
Alf paused for a second.
The next moment.
The void shattered, countless chaotic flows emerged above Gu Shen’s head, around his body—in an instant, a pitch-black Black Hole appeared, swallowing this tiny baby.
"Disappeared?"
Bai Xiu’s pupils contracted.
He looked at Alf in disbelief, is this the means of Starship Civilization?
Just at the moment of the chaotic flow eruption, even through the bronze hatch, he felt a strong crisis...
"Gu Shen is now not in the same time-space as us."
Alf calmly said, "I’m just an AI managing the spacecraft, with limited understanding of the leaders’ methods. But I’m well aware, to kill a person, bombing or shooting isn’t always necessary. The laws of the Extraordinary Realm are scarier than guns and cannons."
What Black Silver Bomb, what Heavenly Sheath Weapon.
None are supreme methods.
The supreme method is controlling the fundamental laws of the Extraordinary Realm to execute.
"This ’Time Restriction’ indeed might directly annihilate a person."
Alf looked at Bai Xiu and said slowly, "The power of Time Origin is the supreme law beyond imagination, even the leaders can’t fully understand. The Valley Goddess, back then, only grasped a partial defective origin yet created the Divine Miracle like ’Time Dojo.’ If more is controlled, what more could be created?"
"..."
Bai Xiu couldn’t imagine.
At such a time, imagination actually limits the upper bounds.
"The Valley Goddess isn’t bad at fighting, just not inclined to fight." Alf said seriously, "In my impression, she hasn’t killed anyone, but who knows... maybe the Goddess has? Or perhaps, has the Time Origin killed?"
Little Xiuzi was stunned.
He suddenly understood what Alf meant.
"What consequences arise from being hit by Time Origin?"
"Aging to death or reversing back to a baby, that’s probably your guess, right? But the strength of the Time Origin exceeds your imagination..."
Alf couldn’t help but speak, being someone who can’t keep secrets.
"Since the master has placed the Valley Goddess above himself several times, I once asked my master how powerful the Valley Goddess’s Time Origin truly is."
"The master said... someone completely destroyed by the Time Origin will disappear in ’time-space.’"
Bai Xiu’s pupils contracted.
"Disappeared in time-space?"
"Exactly."
Alf said lowly and seriously, "The real death is when not even being remembered is possible. Those killed by Time Origin essentially won’t exist; the Valley Goddess can trace back through time to this person’s birth origin and then kill them, executing from the causal level."
"???"
Bai Xiu looked at Alf in shock.
"My master is always low-key, and doesn’t like wearing halos... I always thought, the master placing the Valley Goddess above himself was a form of humility."
"But after hearing the master’s explanation, I wholeheartedly believe, the Valley Goddess is indeed a very, very terrifying existence."
Alf said, "However, to fully unleash the Time Origin for annihilation requires a hefty price, in the Divine War, it might be tragically lethal ’mutual destruction’ tactic."
"Even so, it’s very terrifying."
Bai Xiu murmured, "To fully annihilate a person, making someone utterly nonexistent, this truly surpasses my imagination."
Sadly, the final enemy facing the Starship Civilization isn’t a person.
Otherwise.
The Valley Goddess’s "Time Annihilation" would be a powerful weapon!
"Since the Time Restriction is so fearsome, why did you let Gu Shen in?"
Bai Xiu felt lingering fear, quickly looked towards Alf.
That wisp of Chi Huo still flickered weakly.
This meant... currently Gu Shen, remains safe.
Little Xiuzi sighed in relief.
"Don’t worry, this kid has luck like a dog."
Alf said casually, "Though it’s the Netherworld King, have you seen such a fortunate Netherworld King? These great opportunities were prepared by others and fed to the mouth. Seeing his whole-body blessed favor, I even recall the Hunter God of the past."
"..."
Bai Xiu was speechless.
"Alright, worries won’t help, the Time Restriction has already commenced."
Alf seemed carefree, urging, "Leave this to me, hurry and go retrieve Xiaoman."
