My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 486 - 487: Resonance of Wills!
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
Sight, sound, and touch...
Every fundamental sense was violently torn away.
Even the soul felt the void.
Within the absolute pitch-black, silent cries seemed to resonate.
The Demon God Abyss appeared to have dissolved into the surrounding gloom.
It relentlessly attempted to snuff out his life, seeking to absorb him until he became a mere extension of this void.
Gu Xing remained hyper-vigilant, trusting only his sixth sense to guard against the unknown.
However, as the moments dragged on, the Demon God Abyss did not launch a physical strike.
Slowly, a realization dawned on Gu Xing.
It wasn't that the Demon God Abyss was refusing to attack, but rather...
The Demon God Abyss had already fused with the very barrier trapping them.
The entity was the Demon God Abyss, and the Demon God Abyss was this boundless, eternal shadow.
Recognizing this truth, Gu Xing’s brow furrowed in a deep frown.
To slay the Demon God Abyss, this dark, barrier-like expanse had to be obliterated.
But trapped in its depths, the task of destroying it was...
Even the simple act of manifesting his own power felt like an unattainable luxury.
He attempted to shift his body, but the resistance felt as if he were submerged in the deepest ocean.
Each small movement was met with crushing, infinite weight.
Time itself lost all meaning in this void.
Seconds were stretched into an eternity, transforming into a brutal trial of his mental fortitude.
This darkness was no mere energy; it was saturated with the malevolent will of the Demon God Abyss.
Like a parasite, it crawled into his soul, polluting his spirit and trying to assimilate his essence.
He could actually feel it happening.
He was slowly, inevitably melting into the surrounding gloom.
The absence of sensory input only served to magnify this sensation a thousandfold.
Terror and hopelessness began to take root in his chest.
If he were any common Tier Four Totem...
Their mental state would have fractured long ago, surrendering their identity to this everlasting night.
"I have to act..."
Gu Xing roared internally, forcing his mind into a state of calm.
He tried to circulate the energy within his body, but the moment his divine power touched the air,
it was devoured and snuffed out by the thick, viscous shadow.
Through their soul link, he reached out to Liu Li, Vera, and Qing Shuang.
Yet, the only response from the other side was a series of incredibly faint, flickering pulses, as if their very lives were about to fade.
Powerlessness.
A crushing sense of futility he had never known before.
It nearly submerged his consciousness and overwhelmed his sanity.
Was this the true might of a Demon God?
Not through a direct confrontation, but by manifesting a perfect, inescapable nightmare that erased the enemy's will to exist.
In such a place, any technique or Cultivation move felt insignificant and hollow.
"Is this... truly where it ends?"
The dark thought drifted to the surface before being instantly crushed by his iron willpower.
No, it cannot be!
The moment he surrendered, all would be lost.
Not just himself, but Liu Li, Vera, his Guardian Beasts, Long Zhenguo, Liu Xia, and the entire Human Race Alliance Army.
Even the whole of Alternate Space would fall to Yuan's malice.
He refused to quit; he refused to fall.
Yet, the reality remained grim.
Against this void, his strength seemed utterly useless.
Where was the Demon God Abyss hiding?
How could he find his way back to Liu Li?
How could he escape this prison?
Questions without answers.
The darkness itself was the ultimate weapon.
Just as a fracture began to form in Gu Xing’s resolve,
the Beast Taming Contract shared with Liu Li suddenly surged with a violent, desperate rhythm!
...
"Master... Master!"
"Where are you?!"
"Answer me! Please... I'm begging you, answer me!!"
Deep within the suffocating, endless gloom, Liu Li’s mind was teetering on the edge of a breakdown.
The flickering, dying soul link with Gu Xing terrified her more than the prospect of death itself.
She could not sense his location or confirm if he still lived.
The Beast Link felt like a guttering flame in a storm, moments away from being extinguished forever.
If that connection broke, the results...
She couldn't bring herself to imagine it.
Her overwhelming terror and anxiety transformed into a burning fuel for her heart.
"I must find Master!! We have to leave!!"
A silent cry thundered through the core of her being.
She abandoned all concern for her energy reserves or the crushing weight of the dark.
She went as far as to ignite her own recently stabilized Divine Position.
Through this desperate, self-sacrificing surge, her power began to swell at an incredible rate.
"Buzz---!!!"
A tiny, yet incredibly pure and scorching white heart fire suddenly flickered into existence within the void.
This heart fire was the manifestation of Liu Li’s resolve, the pinnacle of her combined strength.
Without hesitation, this flame tore through the darkness, racing toward Gu Xing along their shared soul link!
"Hiss---!"
The heart fire carved a path through the thick, oppressive shadow.
Every inch it gained was fought for against the relentless erosion and hunger of the darkness.
Liu Li’s life force began to wither rapidly; her Divine Position core shook violently, manifesting tiny cracks.
But she ignored the pain, pouring everything into keeping that single thread of heart fire alive.
Finally.
Weakened almost to the point of vanishing, the heart fire pierced the final layer of gloom to reach Gu Xing.
"Liu Li?!"
Gu Xing was struck with pure shock!
That spark of heart fire plunged directly into the center of his consciousness!
In that instant, the freezing helplessness vanished, replaced by a torrent of heat and immense power rising from his soul's depths!
"I'm here! Liu Li! I haven't left you!"
Gu Xing’s heart let out a thunderous roar.
He threw his mind wide open.
He channeled his absolute trust and unbreakable will toward Liu Li.
He transformed it into a fierce, golden flood of energy, rushing to bolster the nearly spent white heart fire!
In the heart of total darkness, at the threshold of life and death, two wills collided, fused, and resonated with divine intensity!
"Boom---!!!"
A silent, soul-deep explosion occurred within both of them!
It was as if two dying stars had finally reunited in the vacuum of space.
The contact triggered a massive chain reaction, birthing an explosion of heat and light!
Gu Xing’s fading golden divine light was suddenly doused in fuel, erupting into a towering inferno!
Meanwhile, Liu Li’s fragile heart fire, fed by Gu Xing’s will and strength,
swelled and expanded outward!
The two lights—one gold, one white—merged so perfectly they became one, spinning into a magnificent golden-white spiral of energy.
Guided by their bond, it punched through the final dark veil separating them!
Light was reborn!
At the center of a darkness shaped by a Demon God's will, a place meant to swallow all things.
A ray of hope, forged from the harmony of Gu Xing and Liu Li’s spirits, broke through!
Most importantly, within this radiance, Gu Xing could finally feel Liu Li’s presence clearly.
Their minds, forged together in this brush with death.
They were now more unified than ever, two parts of a single, inseparable whole.
