Chapter 649 A War for Justice (Nearly 10,000 Word Chapter!)

The crimson light illuminated heaven and earth.

Many mobile merchant ships around the coastal capital suffered unexpected demonic moon erosion. Barriers of various colors, hastily erected from source energy, floated up, and bright semicircular light shields shone, as if thousands of stars had lit up on the dark earth.

But this was too unexpected. The source energy interference brought by the demonic moon was all-encompassing. The activation of many low-level source energy shields depended on being activated in advance. The source energy cores of many small mobile warships were instantly burned out by the excessively turbulent source energy. The entire warship turned into fireworks in a brilliant explosion.

"It's the demonic moon! Quick, take the isolation medicine!"

Faced with the crimson brilliance that instantly filled the entire world, the fastest reactors shouted with extreme vigilance, taking the precious medicine that could isolate source energy erosion for a short time—although demonization was difficult to cure, prevention was not difficult.

But even so, in just a few tens of seconds, the light of the demonic moon created thousands of demonized people.

For a time, these merchant fleets departing from the coastal capital tried to turn around immediately and return to the mobile cities that also supported huge city shields. This was their only way to survive. Although the fleet's shields could indeed withstand the crimson glow, the shipborne source energy core could not withstand that consumption. It was designed to allow the fleet to return to a safe sheltered city as quickly as possible in an emergency, and that was all.

But not all ships had only this one choice.

In the hazy darkness, the First Radiance research ship sped along, breaking through the gale and light.

The sudden eruption of the demonic moon was unexpected by everyone. According to the most authoritative prediction of the Light Chasing Order, the next demonic moon eruption should be in the period from nine to fifteen days later.

Because of this, after the annual auction of the coastal capital ended, many merchants urged their merchant ships to accelerate their return voyage. They had to reach their destination before the next demonic moon eruption, and needed to race against time.

But all plans were disrupted.

Layers of light cyan brilliance rippled on the hull of the First Radiance research fleet, repelling the crimson color. The two intertwined in mid-air, bursting into bright cyan-purple spots.

Unlike other returning merchant ships, thanks to the power and stability of the First Radiance Holy Rock source energy core, the First Radiance ship could still sail eastward at high speed while supporting the shield.

The plan would not be disrupted, and they would continue to head towards their destination as quickly as possible.

But Su Zhou was not happy because of the superior performance of the First Radiance ship.

On the contrary, he was now stretching out his hand with a serious expression, stroking Gasha's forehead, who had already fainted.

"High fever."

He murmured to himself, "The demonization has worsened... just a few seconds, and it's enough to cause this?"

At this moment, the original laboratory of the First Radiance ship was already filled with beds. Children suffering from demonization were groaning in pain on the beds, and Gasha and Seneca, whose demonization was the most serious, had already fainted.

Fortunately, Su Zhou had already taught them to run the Reincarnation Undying Method and the Emberfire Art semi-autonomously even in pain and sleep, which stabilized the situation. Otherwise, according to Grandmaster Flint, this could cause sudden畸变(jībiàn - mutation, distortion). Demonized patients would mutate into beasts under the light of the demonic moon, such as werewolves, devils, and various 精怪(jīngguài - spirits, monsters) represented by bloodlines.

A major symptom of demonization: the manifestation of latent bloodlines. But under the action of source energy, all of this was out of control.

And uncontrolled power was the most terrible.

"Suppress the power in your bodies."

Su Zhou took action to suppress the power in the bodies of the two children who were most affected by the demonic moon because they had the strongest power. At the same time, he also calmly spoke, guiding a group of children led by Loya, who did not have demonization and whose consciousness was still relatively clear, on how to circulate the cultivation methods in their bodies, digest the large amount of active source energy brought by the demonic moon, and turn it into their own power.

"Don't be afraid, every curse has its source. The異變(yìbiàn - mutation) caused by the demonic moon is essentially an excessive blessing. A large amount of active source energy that the human body simply does not have time to absorb promotes the evolution of the body, but it cannot be controlled, causing the body to collapse and the soul to go mad, turning into a curse."

A series of 'Bright Mind Light' was released from the man's body. This supernatural power derived from Su Zhou's new cultivation method was not used to empty the enemy's brain for the first time, but to allow his students to clear their minds and calm their hearts. It must be said that it was a good omen, realizing Su Zhou's original purpose.

"Ah..."

"Better, much better..."

Under the influence of the Bright Mind Light, the faces of many painful children gradually calmed down. Although they were still breathing rapidly, their eyes changed from the original chaos and emptiness to having color. The tearing sensation from the depths of the soul and the body, which was numb, itchy, and extremely painful, began to slow down.

——I'm in so much pain! But why does it hurt so much?

——I want to think carefully about why it hurts so much, but before that, I should first define the specific definition of pain...

——I understand the principle, but why does it still hurt so much?

The endless release of thoughts slowed down the interference brought by the pain. The Emberfire Art began to take effect again. In addition, the shield of the First Radiance ship had been fully erected, isolating the influence of the demonic moon, allowing the children's condition to improve.

Even, it could accelerate cultivation.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Su Zhou also breathed a sigh of relief—this was the first time in decades for him, including Professor Svetozar at a distance, to encounter the demonic moon outside the city. It must be said that this was indeed extremely dangerous. It was difficult to imagine what kind of danger those merchants usually risked when traveling between cities.

"What exactly is going on?"

After confirming that the condition of all the children had stabilized, Su Zhou left the infirmary, letting the children without demonization and the aunt take care of the others. He came to the bridge and said in a serious tone, "Is this also part of the Holy Sun anomaly?"

[Very likely, Professor Svetozar.]

Before this, Grandmaster Flint was having a heated discussion with Daybreak. In the light curtain in front of them, models of the Holy Sun and the demonic moon were suspended. The scope of their discussion included the entire Aean world's source energy distribution table, the trajectory of celestial bodies, and many formulas and data that flowed like waterfalls.

After a series of complex calculations, they finally came to a result: [But it's not just the influence of the Holy Sun—the eruption of the demonic moon is unusual. There must be a great external force influencing its blooming, and this influence point may not necessarily be the Holy Sun. It may also be the 'Sealed Moon,' or... artificial power.]

"Professor Svetozar, this may just be the prelude. In the future, we may never be able to predict the demonic moon eruptions again."

This was a complete bad news.

The Sealed Moon was the seal point where the Twilight Dragon was located. In the past, the gods could not kill the disaster representing 'Twilight,' so they could only seal it with a part of the Aean continent, ascend it into the air, and turn it into the moon.

The scattered islands of the East Sea were said to be the fragments left over from the seal.

Historically, there had indeed been anomalies in the Sealed Moon, causing abnormal demonic moon eruptions. In theory, this was an understandable explanation.

But an understandable explanation could not solve the problem.

Su Zhou walked to the edge of the bridge. He raised his head and stared at the red moon in the sky.

In the wilderness where there were no villages, adventurers could only dig caves tens of meters deep to avoid danger—but this relied on forecasts. Without information predicting the demonic moon eruption, professionals under the Mind Light could not dig dozens of meters deep in a few seconds, and the Mind Light stage could already resist the influence of the demonic moon with their own Mind Light Body.

In just a few seconds, the demonized children in the ship painfully lost consciousness. If the demonic moon could not be predicted, then mankind's ability to explore and act in the outside world would be blocked, and everyone who left the town would live in fear.

Even death.

A dark town flashed by, but Su Zhou's vision could keenly capture it: there were many temporary villages and towns along the First Radiance ship's path, providing supplies and entertainment for a large number of passing merchant ships. It was usually bustling and lively.

But now, the villages and towns were pitch black, all source energy facilities were destroyed, and the streets were full of dead people.

They did not activate the town shields in the first place. The rampant source energy and rampant demonized patients killed everyone. Su Zhou even saw a monster covered in blood, looking like some kind of giant wolf, tearing apart a woman's body in a house, but there were fragments of children's clothing on the giant wolf.

And it wasn't just one.

There were countless villages and towns around the coastal capital for rest. The largest trading city in the Southeast Sea alone supported more than an unknown number of people just for freight. On the dark earth, in the dark towns, inside and outside the shadows, there were simply uncountable corpses.

Watching all of this, Su Zhou's face remained calm. He had seen too much death, and no matter how miserable the corpses and tragedies were, they were not enough to move him.

But his clenched fists were enough to prove that no matter how many times, he still could not get used to this kind of thing.

[Some people will always survive. Villages and towns near big cities are not vigilant enough, and the casualties are more severe. Those villages and towns in the remote wilderness are more likely to survive because they are always in danger.]

Flint came to Su Zhou's side. He sighed as he watched everything outside the window. At this moment, the wreckage of a merchant ship with the Light Chasing Order flag flashed past the window. There was no sign of life in it, causing the old man to sigh even more: [They were confident in their technology, but were killed by unexpected events. Alas...]

"...How long will the demonic moon last?"

Although it sounded like a question, Su Zhou quickly extracted the answer from Professor Svetozar's memory: "It usually doesn't last more than seven days, but there have been major outbreaks that lasted more than ten days... The current situation can be called a major outbreak."

[Only mobile cities have the ability to support shields, and only mobile cities can find safe places to avoid it.]

Flint had obviously calculated this point in his discussion with Daybreak just now, so his tone was quite anxious: [Professor Svetozar, although the First Radiance ship can support it, we should go back to the coastal capital and set off after the demonic moon ends... The current situation cannot be predicted at all!]

"Indeed." Daybreak also persuaded, "The children need to rest. Although we have purchased a lot of medicine and food reserves, but..."

Su Zhou raised his hand and interrupted the two of them.

"Continue forward." Su Zhou said in a deep voice, "Going forward may save one or two survivors, but if we turn back, we can't do anything."

Su Zhou was the leader of the First Radiance ship. His words were commands and directions.

Daybreak obeyed Su Zhou's command, and the mobile warship continued to travel eastward at full speed.

This journey lasted for several days.

During these days, the children who had fallen into a coma due to the sudden source energy activation woke up one by one.

They looked out the window. The crimson moonlight that blocked even the sunlight was so terrifying and beautiful. Everyone looked up at the sky in awe, and then worked harder and more firmly than ever to cultivate the Emberfire Art, the only cultivation method they could use to fight against the light of the demonic moon.

Along the way, there were countless lifeless village ruins. This was why most of the buildings in the wilderness of the Aean continent, except for mobile cities, were ruins and wreckage: not only natural disasters, but even the light of the demonic moon, would kill a large number of people.

Fortunately, as Grandmaster Flint said, not everyone would die because of the light of the demonic moon.

When the First Radiance ship was traveling, they saw many teams of wanderers, supported by shields, struggling to walk towards several villages and towns that were still supporting shields. Most of them were people from warships and villages who had some savings, and had their own individual anti-source energy accessories and source energy props.

They advanced by cycling charging and digging caves to rest, step by step towards the villages and towns, looking for firm and reliable shelters.

Most of these people were tired and scared. Even if Su Zhou was willing to lend them a helping hand, after knowing that Su Zhou and others were going to the eastern coastal area, they all refused the good intentions in fear. If Su Zhou didn't force it, they wouldn't even accept some food and ordinary source energy supplies.

Because of the ecological cycle module that Su Zhou purchased for the First Radiance ship, the ship was not short of food—after all, under Su Zhou's teaching, the members of the Radiant Hope Society, including Grandmaster Flint, were all Druids, and accelerating the harvest was simply easy.

No, according to their abilities... Druids were known as Little World Trees.

"Sir, are you really not a member of the military? That area has become a military confrontation zone for several major forces..."

Among them, a few younger and bolder people chatted with Su Zhou during the exchange of supplies.

After they realized Su Zhou's approachable nature, they relaxed and explained the current situation in slightly more detail: "Take my advice, don't go there. The troops of those major forces occupied our towns, transformed them into front-line fortresses, and distributed a little relocation fee to ask us to leave... As a result, unexpectedly, because we were well-prepared when we left, we survived longer than those who did not migrate, but were forced to relocate because of the light of the demonic moon."

These people spoke earnestly and sincerely: "Don't get close to the east, they will attack anyone, and whoever gets close will be attacked. God knows what they are fighting for. The entire Red Reef Sea is covered by source energy arrays, and there are no civilians... Turn back, sir, as soon as your merchant ship gets close, they will definitely destroy you!"

But all of this had the opposite effect.

"You mean, they requisitioned civilian cities and forced them to leave their homes?"

Su Zhou narrowed his eyes. He clasped his hands behind his back in the hall, his tone calm, but it was chilling: "That's hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of people displaced... Didn't they think about how many people would die?"

"Probably, they didn't expect the demonic moon to erupt suddenly before..."

Hearing this question, the two envoys representing the wanderers exchanged strange glances, and then shook their heads with a wry smile: "Hey, sir, why think so much? At least we all survived."

"As for the others... how dare we think more about it?"

When people know that they will never be able to retaliate successfully, they will give up this meaningless idea and consider something more practical.

For example, living.

Just living.

When this group of wanderers left, Grandmaster Flint and Loya had repaired all the source energy isolation barrier equipment for them. The two sides waved goodbye, and everyone watched this group of wanderers disappear into the dust in the distance.

And Su Zhou was standing on the deck of the First Radiance ship at this moment, he closed his eyes.

"We can save hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people..."

"But no matter how much we save, it's just a part of it."

"In the places I can't see, the places I don't know, more people are dying."

He murmured in a low voice, the man opened his eyes and looked in the direction where the wanderers had left, the direction he was currently unable to help.

They supported thin shields, like a layer of foam film, blocking the erosion of the demonic moon source energy... Yes, it did have an effect, their survival to this day was proof, but as a price, their entire team was now suffering from demonization.

It just couldn't be seen now.

Even if they really reached a new town, as long as this point was detected, they would be treated as savages and scourges and driven out.

Of course, it was more likely that they would die because of the demonic moon before they arrived.

There was only one way to solve this matter.

In Su Zhou's eyes, people's desires, and even the dark thoughts in their hearts were clear, like the lines on the back of his hand.

Resentment, anger, despair, fear... these emotions were so vast, so huge, that even Su Zhou, who was used to observing the power of vows, couldn't help but be startled.

But Su Zhou didn't care about this.

These people, who were driven out of their homes by the soldiers of the major forces and struggled to survive, were qualified to hate this world, and even resonated with the anger and hatred deposited on this Aean continent, erupting with great power.

And this power... was responding, was whispering something.

If it were someone else, even if they could sense the power of vows, they probably wouldn't know what these vows were saying.

But Su Zhou knew.

——It was a wish.

A wish for justice to be extended and justice to be realized.

"Why? Why do we have to suffer these pains? We haven't done anything wrong..."

Those voices murmured sadly, "Why is there demonization, why does the demonic moon erode the body and soul? Why are we driven out of our homes by our compatriots? Aren't they the soldiers guarding us?"

"Why, Listener, why?"

Endless doubts, asking the world about why.

But in this world, many whys have no answers.

It's just so fucked up.

And precisely because of this, someone needs to create a reply, an answer.

Therefore, the white-haired old man took a step forward.

"Because they are wrong."

Su Zhou said calmly, his crimson eyes seemed to be burning with flames: "So a correct answer is needed."

The brilliance of the soul shone on his body.

……

Eastern coast, Mogra City.

Eastern Sea Noble Allied Forces base.

Under the cyan-blue city shield, rows of elite soldiers were nervously walking and deploying, transporting a large number of precious source energy devices.

The sudden eruption of the demonic moon affected not only the civilians, but also the overall strategy set by the Eastern Heavenly Dragon nobles to compete for the First Radiance Holy Rock—now that the world's source energy was activated, the originally scheduled offensive was forced to stop, giving the enemy a chance to breathe. This made Major General Timor, who was in charge of the First Radiance Holy Rock battle, feel extremely annoyed. He felt that he had lost a meritorious service of a great victory.

"It's different from the prediction, the demonic moon shouldn't come at this time!"

The sound of snapping echoed, and on the battlefield conference table, he angrily slapped the armrest of the chair.

This Heavenly Dragon noble with Blue Dragon blood, whose dragon horns on his head were flashing with bright electric light, was in an extremely bad and violent tone at this moment, as if he was a source energy bomb without a fuse.

This was not surprising, after all, the situation was indeed very annoying—the current situation for the Heavenly Dragon nobles was like having their chessboard overturned when they were in a great advantage.

Timor was almost gnashing his teeth at this moment: "The Holy Stone Church and the Light Chasing Order... and the Frosty Extension Army! These bastards who ran thousands of miles to steal our First Radiance Holy Rock!"

"The offensive has been forced to stop, and all the sacrifices we made before are meaningless!"

The staff officers in the conference room were silent, because what His Excellency the Major General said was indeed correct.

If the blooming of the demonic moon did not end, the major forces would not be able to truly fight to the death. The tug-of-war would continue for more than ten days, and the Eastern Sea nobles, who originally had a greater advantage relying on geographical advantages and assistance, had to suspend their offensive and give up the good situation... And after ten days, their advantage would no longer exist, and they would even be at a disadvantage!

Even if the ancestors blessed them and they won, salvaging the First Radiance Holy Rock would be another long and boring time.

This was really bad. They were hoping to finish this battle early and go back to their hometowns for the New Year's Eve dinner.

As for whether the residents who had their homes occupied, were forced to leave, or were requisitioned on the spot and became laborers could have New Year's Eve dinner, it was not within the scope of consideration of this general and his staff.

Anyway, they were not his领民(lǐngmín - subjects, people under his jurisdiction), and it didn't matter if they died. It wouldn't be his business if anything really happened.

And just when Major General Timor was raging incompetently and pacing back and forth in the conference room.

The communicator hanging on the general's waist suddenly rang with the sharp鸣叫(míngjiào - chirping, beeping) that only emergency military situations had.

"What's the situation?"

Slightly stunned, Timor immediately turned on the communicator, and before he could ask, the hurried voice of the distant scout rang out: "Report to the General! There is a major abnormality in the western direction! A disaster-level source energy reaction is approaching rapidly!"

"What?!"

Timor, who was in a state of shock, wanted to continue to ask a few more questions, but the communication had been interrupted. He left the conference room in the first place, came to the roof and looked into the distance with a telescope, looking in the direction pointed by the scout's message.

Then, he opened his mouth wide in shock.

At the place where the distant horizon was, a ray of light rose from the end of the world. It was so huge that it was like a mountain peak, but its shape was similar to a shield, or like a giant umbrella, blocking all the light of the demonic moon pouring down in that direction.

An incomparably tyrannical source energy fluctuation came from the shield source energy shield that blocked the light of the demonic moon. This was indeed a disaster-level force.

"What exactly is going on?" He murmured blankly, and all his subordinates showed confused expressions.

The answer was revealed soon.

Boom!

A muffled, but extremely far-reaching rumbling sound came from the depths of the earth.

The white-haired man was walking on the earth. He was covered in layers of sturdy armor composed of divine wood roots and perfect metal, making him look like a guardian of nature from ancient legends, a moving mountain.

And behind him, the earth was gradually being replaced by metal—the minerals located in the depths of the earth, under the man's all-out supernatural powers, rose from the depths of the earth, forming giant steel pillars that were thick, towering, and straight into the sky behind him.

These pillars reached straight into the sky, and were engraved with ancient but powerful runes, releasing protective波動(bōdòng - undulations, vibrations), supporting shield-shaped shelters, allowing all the surrounding survivors to breathe and survive.

Elements were separating. Separating under Su Zhou's will.

At his command, silicon crystals, metals, organic matter, inorganic matter, and limestone all began to decompose themselves. The earth and rock layers disintegrated under his will, and then began to purify and reorganize.

And these crystals, metals, mixed with the molten iron that had been heated by the enormous source energy, flew around behind Su Zhou, vaguely outlining the most basic shape of a giant behemoth.

The shadow of this shape crossed the clouds. Three heads, vaguely filled with metal and condensed from source energy illusions, were overlooking the world. It silently stared at this land, and its mountain-like size caused the surrounding source energy to tremble and shatter just by following Su Zhou's figure.

"What exactly is that thing..."

Staring at this terrifying phantom, even as a Divine Intent stage powerhouse, Major General Timor's tone could not help but start to tremble. He trembled as he held the telescope, gazing tremblingly at the monster in the distance: "No, it's impossible..."

"How could there be such an exaggerated, such an exaggerated thing..."

He already knew what the phantom was, but precisely because he knew, Timor couldn't believe it.

The three-headed winged dragon that was walking was an attached product of one person.

It was a mountain composed of source energy and souls.

It was a Mind Light Body that was unbelievably huge!

——What kind of Mind Light can be so big? Even a Calamity Realm doesn't necessarily need such a huge Mind Light Body!

And amidst the enemy's doubts and fears, Su Zhou stood on the earth.

He walked silently, advancing towards the place where the army was stationed.

How could he help those homeless wanderers?

That was naturally to create a safe place.

But Su Zhou didn't have the time to build a strong enough city or fortress to bring shelter to those who were homeless—he had more important things to do.

Therefore, he condensed all the wanderers, and even the power of suffering that was sung on this land, and realized a 'wish'.

Su Zhou, absorbed those vows, condensed the Mind Card that belonged to him, that belonged to this world, that he had already conceived, his own Mind Light Body.

Then, he strengthened his supernatural powers with the power of the Mind Light Body, creating giant steel pillars with the power of shelter.

These giant pillars could last for decades, protecting an entire corridor from the influence of the chaotic active source energy.

But these were all stopgap measures.

——There was no need to pretend anymore.

At this moment, Su Zhou had the confidence to face any powerhouse in the Aean world.

Slowly stepping forward, Su Zhou, who was focused and dedicated, gazed at the town in front of him.

A dark malice was slowly rising, sentencing the 'evil' of everyone in that city—they all deserved to die, and no one could be called righteous.

Was this terrible? It was terrible.

But what was even more terrible was the rising pitch-black color in the entire Aean world.

This land was hopeless, and pitch-black was its color, from ancient times until now.

"Stop him!"

Even his instincts could know, with the wailing soul warning him, Timor shouted at his army, his angry tone with a guilty conscience, making him have to issue orders in a louder voice: "Don't let that monster get close!"

The army obeyed the general's order. Immediately, there was a thunderous roar of artillery fire. The transformed town had become a solid fortress. With the runes flickering and the source energy surging, the inflated energy brought arcs of light, forming source energy channels in the atmosphere—with Major General Timor's order, thousands of source energy spells and alchemy shells of different colors were suddenly激發(jīfā - stimulated, activated) and flew towards Su Zhou like rain.

This was not the end. The first wave of shells was still flying in mid-air, and the second wave had already taken shape. Thousands of source energy light spots drew long arcs in mid-air, intending to bloom the most dangerous and brilliant light on the top of their target's head.

But all of this was too slow, too weak, and too insignificant.

Faced with these 'dust' that fell towards him, Su Zhou silently stretched out his hand. In front of him, the earth was hardening. Rocks, gravel, and metals in the depths of the earth were listening to the order,湧出(yǒngchū - gushing out, surging out) from the bottom of the earth vein, turning into a straight road.

And now, at the end and center of this metal road, a silver and dazzling shield reflecting cyan-purple brilliance was emerging from it.

This shield rose from the depths of the earth, forged from source energy and the earth's anger. The纹路(wénlù - patterns, textures) of the Seven-Headed Great Dragon were outlined on its shield surface, and the crimson-gold brilliance was like flowing lava.

No, it was not like it, it was indeed lava flowing, the scorching brilliance ignited the air, causing the flames to burn silently around Su Zhou, and because the atmosphere was burned into a vacuum, the world was silent.

Su Zhou grasped the handle of the shield. This shield was heavy, it was a divine weapon cast from the sturdiest, most precious, and heaviest source energy steel—and on the纹路(wénlù - patterns, textures) of the Seven-Headed Great Dragon, only three heads were flashing with a more brilliant light.

Wrath, greed, and jealousy, the aura of sin was spreading.

The brilliance of the Seven-Headed Red Dragon was deeper than the crimson light of the demonic moon.

Su Zhou raised it, and a faint red glow flickered slightly. The source energy spells and alchemy shells that were coming from all directions were detonated out of thin air. The shock waves of their explosions did not even have time to get close, and were消融(xiāoróng - dissolved, melted away) by the shield's protective domain.

The earth trembled and rumbled, and the metal road was凝結(níngjié - coagulating, congealing) into shape. Around Su Zhou, the thunder and flames became more and more熾盛(chìshèng - blazing, flourishing). The three-headed dragon behind him was becoming more and more real... If someone could analyze it rationally at this moment, they might know that the境界(jìngjiè - realm, state) of this person in front of them was only the middle stage of the Mind Light, and his Mind Light Body did not have a specific form, only a sketched soul phantom.

But soon, this境界(jìngjiè - realm, state) would be invalid, because Su Zhou's Mind Light Body had begun to实体化(shítǐhuà - materialize, become solid).

He had become a high-level Mind Light... an unbelievably powerful, unprecedented high-level Mind Light!

Boom, the earth隆起(lóngqǐ - bulge, swell), and the rock shell崩裂(bēngliè - collapse, crack), as the hot气息(qìxī - aura, breath) and the rusty smell of metal spread together in the atmosphere, something was bursting out from the ground.

That was a head, a实体(shítǐ - entity, real) giant dragon head, and soon, there were three of them.

Su Zhou used his own power to賦予(fùyǔ - bestow, grant) his Mind Light Body a temporary实体的(shítǐde - real, solid) state. The three-headed winged dragon made of metal, lava, and mud was roaring to the sky, and the man was standing on the middle head, overlooking the mobile fortress in the distance from hundreds of meters in the air.

The great dragon was the ancient serpent, also known as the devil.

In Professor Svetozar's body, the bloodline belonging to the devil began to显化(xiǎnhuà - manifest, reveal) its true form under Su Zhou's extreme excavation.

——He was no longer acting!

"Did you hear it?"

After appearing in front of everyone, Su Zhou spoke for the first time. His voice震荡(zhèndàng - vibrate, shock) the soul, and even Major General Timor, who was in the distant fortress, could hear it clearly. The general originally thought that Su Zhou was talking to him, so he trembled and thought about how to reply without losing the spirit of the Heavenly Dragon nobles, but this was just wishful thinking.

"The voice of this land."

Looking at the earth and the distant sea, Su Zhou's gaze was悠远(yōuyuǎn - distant, remote), and he took the initiative to communicate with the memory of this land, allowing him to see everything that all the纪元(jìyuán - era, epoch) life had encountered on this land for 80,000 years—he listened to the suffering belonging to this world, and the悲痛(bēitòng - sorrow, grief) of living itself made people茫然(mángrán - bewildered, at a loss).

——Living, why live? Living itself is more painful than hell, why struggle to live? This is clearly a meaningless thing.

——Life is not born into the world because it needs itself. Life is just the needs of parents, just an accident. Life itself has never prayed for its descent and birth.

The voice from the ancient past was whispering.

"No one knows the meaning of living, and even living is more painful than dying, but that doesn't mean you can arbitrarily deprive others of the right to encounter more pain."

The呼声(hūshēng - shout, appeal) before 万古(wàngǔ - eternity, countless ages) was lingering in the man's ears. For these echoes that were more painful than confused, he had no sadness, no sympathy, only a kind of indescribable firmness.

"And, precisely because we don't know, we must create meaning."

Murmuring softly, Su Zhou凝望(níngwàng - gaze fixedly at) the distance.

He stretched out his hand and drew a long knife from the giant shield. Crimson fire burned on the silver刀身(dāoshēn - blade of a knife/sword).

In this instant, not only the Heavenly Dragon Nobles' fortress in the East Sea, not only Major General Timor, but all the organizations and forces that were competing for the First Radiance Holy Rock in the East Sea area felt an inexplicable fear. A trembling预感(yùgǎn - premonition, presentiment) spread throughout their bodies.

Su Zhou raised the knife and shield, standing on the head of the three-headed red dragon.

He raised the knife and pointed it forward.

The war for justice was about to begin.

It was time to fight.
