Chapter 730 Annihilation Envoy Loses (6200)

If a life could foresee the future, how successful and powerful would it be?

Ordinary people can hardly imagine the benefits and drawbacks this ability would bring to a life. Most might think that being able to foresee the future would guarantee a successful and happy life, that they could avoid all risks, or at least, not end up in a dead end.

Of course, a small number of people would feel that even with the ability to foresee the future, they would still be just mayflies struggling and sinking in the tide of the times. It would be like a civilian on a planet in a vast war involving several galaxies, gaining the ability to foresee the future and knowing that in ten days, the planet would be destroyed by an enemy civilization's planet-destroying warship, and there were no ships or warp devices around the entire planet to leave the planetary system.

In that case, would foreseeing the future have any meaning?

Of course, all of this is just the imagination of ordinary people. They cannot imagine the success of a future-seer.

Naturally, they cannot understand the failure of a future-seer.

Most importantly, they cannot understand the 'emptiness' in the heart of a future-seer, as if they were just a puppet on the trajectory of fate, uncontrolled, and with their traces arbitrarily smeared by the brush of the writer.

The King of the Empty Prison.

Perhaps the most powerful future-seer in the entire galaxy's history.

He was born in the 'Tarim Star System' long before recorded history, a civilization's home star system that has now been completely destroyed and erased from the stars. He was originally just the most humble and lowest-ranking slave worker in the then-Insectoid Empire—he was not even a naturally born life, but a gene-tuned slave worker created through cloning.

Due to genetic constraints, slaves should not have intelligence, but should simply be physically strong. However, the newly born King of the Empty Prison possessed preliminary intelligence and certain extraordinary abilities due to the deliberate tuning of his owner.

Because of the escalating war between the Insectoid civilization and the surrounding star system civilizations, all resources had to be prepared for war. The plan for a man-made extraordinary army was naturally put on the experimental list. The lowest slaves were chosen as the source of experimental subjects because of mature technology, excellent physical fitness, and low cost.

The King of the Empty Prison was one of the experimental subjects. He underwent various harsh experiments from birth. Of course, he survived and demonstrated preliminary extraordinary abilities, and was then quickly thrown into the battlefield, where he began fighting against the armies of other civilizations on the frontier planets, competing for key ground facilities.

In the process, the King of the Empty Prison encountered many near-death crises, but each time, he could see some peculiar images, things that would happen dozens of seconds later. As long as he avoided them according to what the future showed, he would be safe.

Living through it again and again, escaping from danger again and again, gradually, this experimental subject with the most rudimentary technology but the longest survival time attracted the attention of the Insectoid civilization's high-level officials. They wanted to conduct a detailed analysis of the King of the Empty Prison to see what was so special about him.

The King of the Empty Prison felt an extreme crisis. He suddenly sensed that if he were analyzed, the ending would be complete decomposition, leaving only special thinking organs to be preserved as living specimens, as the basic structure of some kind of 'prophecy machine.'

But this was impossible to avoid.

The planet where the King of the Empty Prison was located was already controlled by the Insectoid civilization. He was an impossible slave soldier to obtain a space flying vehicle. Everything from the surface to the atmosphere was controlled by the Insectoid civilization.

Not to mention predicting the future for a dozen minutes or an hour, even if he could foresee it for a thousand or ten thousand years, it would be impossible to escape from the hands of the Insectoid civilization.

This, perhaps, is despair.

However, the 'survival instinct' given to the slave soldiers by the Insectoid civilization became the best weapon of the King of the Empty Prison. A simple brain that would not despair, would not slack off, and would not have meaningless thoughts allowed him to foresee the future again and again, and to conceive future plans again and again, to build a plan for his survival.

A few days later, the spacecraft to take the King of the Empty Prison back to the home star system arrived. The King of the Empty Prison behaved very obediently. He put on restraint rings and entered the cabin under the suppression of four guards.

Then, when no one expected it, the spacecraft, whose trajectory had long been foreseen, was aimed at by the weapons prepared by the King of the Empty Prison. The sudden alarm gave everyone, especially the guards, a brief moment of vigilance, relaxing their suppression of him.

Then, like breaking free from a piece of paper, he easily broke through the psionic restraint ring that was theoretically impossible to break, then killed the four guards in a smooth motion, suppressed the people on the entire spacecraft, and obtained control of the spacecraft.

No bullets or beams could hit him, and any extraordinary person's attacks and evasions were like fake special effects to him. After killing everyone, the King of the Empty Prison drove the spacecraft alone to the Independent Star Region—he certainly didn't know what this place was, but the future told him that only by going in that direction would he have a future.

Then, it was battle, battle, battle, killing, killing, killing.

The grown-up King of the Empty Prison destroyed everything.

Why?

In fact, it has nothing to do with survival or foreseeing the future.

Because for the increasingly powerful King of the Empty Prison, all his vision was already submerged by the 'future' that came in droves.

He could see everything, could know everything, and know the direction and ending of everything that had already happened. Everything he did was what the future had already done. None of the things he knew had any freshness. His enjoyment and happiness might have been fresh at first, but would soon be completely annihilated and obliterated by the endless 'future happiness'.

He could see everything, so he felt empty instead. Because under this endless future prediction, his life seemed to be mechanical, simply responding to things that would happen in the future, and then acting in advance, doing things that even fools could do.

It was as if it was not he who controlled the future, but a possibility of the future that held his pen, and in turn exerted influence on reality.

Of course, this was not the case. This was indeed the ability of the King of the Empty Prison, just a side effect of the ability being too powerful and transcending the perspective of time and space.

How to eliminate this side effect?

That can only be destroyed.

Eliminate all the stars, even the planetary belts and stars, even the meteorites and comets, everything, including the nebula—the ruler of the Empty Prison created a real Empty Prison for himself.

A dark void in the Milky Way that spans several light-years.

Living in this void, he can finally feel some peace—because everything is empty, he can finally not see the future, and his actions can finally come from his own thoughts, instead of being forced to respond.

He is finally safe and can sleep peacefully.

He should have done so, waiting for the inevitable final destruction, the end of the universe to arrive.

But one day, he suddenly sensed a long-lost crisis.

[You have become a threat to the universe]

Such a voice suddenly sounded in his heart. The King of the Empty Prison woke up from his self-sealed source stone crystal. He listened silently to what the other party said: [In the near future, you will be regarded as an absolute threat by those guardians of the right path and wiped out. And this time, you cannot resist, because it is an inevitable destruction.]

[Unless, I help you]

The words are true.

The King of the Empty Prison knows that what the voice said is not false. More than twenty surrounding civilizations, as well as a senior Lord of the Milky Way Empire, have already embarked on the road to wipe him out. And just like facing the blockade of the Insectoid civilization, he has almost no possibility of escape.

Even worse—because the Insectoid civilization did not want to kill him in the first place, which gave him the possibility of escape, but this time it is different, he will undoubtedly die.

[But, what if you live?]

However, the King of the Empty Prison is no longer the same as he used to be.

He has survived for a long time, and the instinct of life can no longer restrain his actions, so he will have doubts: [I already know everything, even if there are new trajectories, what is the point? If I am willing, I will not die. Those people cannot kill me. I can leave and break free from this trajectory of fate.]

[However, the eternal time, the vast future, the continuation of all living beings, is so illusory and so empty—I can break free from death, so why can't I break free from 'living'? It's just that everyone's fate is determined by the pen of the future. Regardless of life or death, only this point cannot be broken free from.]

[Even wanting to break free is just a kind of fate—just like you, Primal Inceptor of the Void, we are all so empty.]

[The Void is not the ultimate goal, but a way of existence.] And the void monster replied softly: [There are so many lives in the world that exist with meaning, we are just the opposite.]

[But even so, perhaps we can defeat them and fate, defeat correctness, or be defeated by them.]

[Since everything is void, then why not?]

Since everything is void, then why not?

—Why?

The King of the Empty Prison raised his head. He calmly watched the black-haired youth step out of the crater from the dust on the seventh planet.

The other party looked at him, and he could clearly see the aura gradually lighting up in the other party's eyes, as well as the raised right hand—he could even see the other party condensing energy, releasing the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light powerful enough to shatter half the planet's surface, and this attack was easily dodged by him.

He can even counter it.

But, strangely, from this human, the King of the Empty Prison sensed an unprecedentedly terrifying 'crisis'.

Clearly just a newly born Lord; clearly just an extraordinary person whose methods have been exhausted, and whose abilities have been seen through and analyzed; a person who cannot escape his prediction and will be hit by his attack.

How can such an ordinary person pose a crisis to him?

To truly kill himself who can see the future, only the true 'correctness', the most powerful correctness, and power beyond his expectations.

Is he such a person?

Thinking is meaningless.

Accompanied by the buzzing sound of the Starlight Specter outside the planet's orbit, a earth-shattering light vibration swept across the surrounding starry sky—the light wave carrying too much energy only passed through the surrounding space, and all the basic particles in the space disintegrated and collapsed as a result. While releasing terrifying energy, it also oscillated time and space, making this attack impossible to dodge through teleportation, warp, or even other methods.

The surface of the seventh planet seemed to usher in a supernova explosion, and everything was illuminated by light!

With just this one ordinary attack, Su Zhou felt that all the spiritual energy around the entire planet was instantly turbulent and boiling, like the flames of hell constantly pouring towards him, burning his flesh and soul, and even his divine consciousness could not leave his body, and would be burned to ashes as soon as it left.

The Dao of Spiritual Energy—and a Dao of Spiritual Energy that is even more advanced and stronger than his!

Just by relying on massive energy, he can create many profound skills such as 'time-space blockade', 'spiritual energy ban', 'basic particle disintegration', and 'triple destruction attack on body, soul, and consciousness'.

One force defeats all techniques, that's what it's talking about!

The difference between the Annihilation Envoy and the Expedition Envoy is that their power cannot appear at the same time as other fleets. Whether it is the Star Eater or the Ten Faces of the End, the Starlight Specter is no exception. Their existence itself can suppress everything.

But the King of the Empty Prison is an exception!

His ability to predict the future can perfectly cooperate with everyone, every Annihilation Envoy.

His independent action is only because the task he is performing can only be guaranteed to survive by himself. It is meaningless for people who cannot see the future to participate in it.

And now, as the attack of the Starlight Specter sweeps across the stars, he relies on his ability to integrate into it, hides in the light, and disappears!

【Crap!】

At this moment, even the three Cenosillic Lords residing in Su Zhou's body sank in their hearts. How could they not know the details of these former great enemies?

At the first moment, they told Su Zhou all the abilities of the two Annihilation Envoys.

But knowing it doesn't mean you can resist it. The power of the Starlight Specter is the manifestation of the most powerful Dao of Spiritual Energy, or simply put, he was born from the impact of several pulsars. The vast and magnificent regular spiritual energy fluctuations gave birth to the spiritual energy entity. His attacks have always been impossible to defend against, and cannot even be resisted by relying on the power of the magic circle or the surrounding world. You can only purely rely on your own spiritual power to resist it.

But compared to his own spiritual power, who can have more than the Starlight Specter?

Su Zhou can't either!

In this instant, these three Lords' imprints made up their minds. Even if they spent their original power, they would bless Su Zhou with easy supernatural powers so that he could withstand this attack—as for what should happen later, that is not something that can be considered now.

However, before the Lords could act, Su Zhou took the lead.

Even his expression did not change at all, and the raised right hand was not put down.

"Annihilation Envoy, lives up to its name. With just this one blow, the home stars and fleets of ordinary interstellar civilizations will be completely destroyed."

He didn't draw his sword, he didn't use his body-protecting spiritual energy, and he didn't condense the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light that the King of the Empty Prison had encountered before to attack.

At this moment, Su Zhou's right hand was raised like a knife, and the boiling spiritual energy around him caused his long hair to be blown up by the wind, but his whole body's spiritual energy was stable as usual, and he couldn't see that he was fighting against a strong enemy at all.

He even relaxed, just like waving his hand casually when resting, and put down his raised right hand.

Then, a space-time crack was opened just like that.

What floated behind this space-time crack was the Divine Tree—the Tree of Wisdom, the strongest blow condensed with all the spiritual energy of the entire personal space, and strengthened by Su Zhou's guidance!

In the personal space, the five elements of spiritual energy revolved, and finally, the Tree of Wisdom and the former Extinction Blade Spirit, now the Sun Spirit of the personal space, joined forces to condense into a dazzling blade light.

This blade is like a thunderbolt, shining for thousands of miles. This destructive divine light that spans time and space, is constantly growing, but also extinguishes everything, erupted just like the King of the Empty Prison's prediction, and finally condensed into a dazzling supernatural power that is no less than the Starlight Specter, or even surpasses it!

—Even if you can see the future, you cannot guarantee what the truth behind the future you see is.

Block the spiritual energy time and space? Then I will extract power from my own small world, why do I need to dodge!

In an instant, it can be seen that in the mid-air of the seventh planet, on the left and right, two long lines of spiritual light collided, erupting into a dazzling brilliance, and endless halos and spiritual energy shock waves spread in all directions, blowing away Lothar's fleet that wanted to approach and assist.

It seems that Su Zhou has the upper hand.

But at this moment, the King of the Empty Prison reappeared!

This Annihilation Lord with four arms has regained part of his full strength with the help of the Primal Inceptor of the Void. He appeared at the weakest point of Su Zhou's spiritual energy, the dead corner that is most difficult to defend, and then gathered his strength and punched out!

In addition to predicting the future, the King of the Empty Prison is also proficient in the laws of space. His warp, teleportation, and distortion of time and space have surpassed the definition of 'transmission' by ordinary people. Such an ability, combined with predicting the future, allows him to appear at any point at any time and inflict devastating targeted strikes on any enemy!

He punched out, but it was as if he punched out millions of punches at the same time! This is not a description, but a fact. The power of this punch from the King of the Empty Prison is indeed millions of punches!

Or rather, he has actually been punching non-stop just now!

It's just that he distorted time and space, solidified the circles of power, resided in his own body, and then chose a time, and he could explode, and explode with incredible power in an instant!

This is the Dao of Laws—but it can also use extreme skills to exert spiritual power no less than the Dao of Spiritual Energy and pure power no less than the Dao of Life!

The King of the Empty Prison punched out, without any brilliance or color, just the ultimate darkness and the ultimate nothingness, as if he could erase space and time, annihilate all meaning, and create a large void in the galaxy. And his attack was on Su Zhou's side rear, which was also the most vulnerable area. He could foresee that Su Zhou would notice his attack, turn around and prop up a shield to block his sneak attack.

But it was meaningless, the shield would be shattered, and Su Zhou would die.

The fact is indeed the case. Su Zhou turned around, he raised his left hand, took something, and propped up a shield.

Then, the shield was shattered by the power of the King of the Empty Prison, and the fist containing incredible power hit Su Zhou's raised left hand.

Then, he was blocked.

The King of the Empty Prison was stunned.

The future suddenly began to mutate crazily out of control, evolving and splitting into infinite possibilities, and he was filled with endless future possibilities for a time.

But, after all, he is a Lord. This Annihilation Envoy immediately suppressed all the futures with great perseverance—and at this moment, he saw Su Zhou's seemingly smiling expression, as well as the Zhulong eyes and the Reincarnation Seal rotating in his eyes.

—When did you think that the future you predicted was not the future I predicted?

Even if you predicted that the future you predicted was the future I predicted, of course I would also know that you could predict that the future you predicted was predicted by me!

With the Cenosillic Lords reminding him, Su Zhou certainly knew about the King of the Empty Prison's powerful ability to predict the future. He also didn't think that his Zhulong Time Divine Pupil, which he hadn't practiced much, had any possibility of comparing with the real future vision.

However, it can at least interfere with a small part.

Just like now, until now, the King of the Empty Prison finally saw what was blocking his fist.

Even the Annihilation Envoy who was extremely calm in the face of death was genuinely shocked at this moment, and unexpected emotions surged in his heart.

【Celestial Scale!!!!？！】

He was shocked: 【You used a fragment of the universe to block my attack?!】

"Otherwise? Of course, if I wasn't afraid that the Cenosillic people would turn against me, I would have used the Galaxy Star."

Su Zhou sneered, facing the King of the Empty Prison at this moment, he drew out the Extinction Blade. On the Divine Blade, the brilliant flames had returned to their original state: "This thing is so hard that it can block the aura of a Great Existence, what makes you think you're good enough to hit it?"

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party was interfered by the time and space aura of the Celestial Scale and could not transmit, the youth slashed the King of the Empty Prison with a backhand.

This time, Su Zhou's blade did not contain any other complex abilities, it was just pure power, and violent power. He used the earth-based supernatural power 'Zhenyuan Shifting World Immortal Body' to transfer the mass and spiritual energy of the entire personal space, and then added his own spiritual energy, and the mass of part of the seventh planet under his feet, and slashed down with a rapid blade!

Rumble!

A blade light that even if you saw it, you couldn't dodge.

What was slashed together with it was also the land of the entire seventh planet!

Crack!

The earth shook violently, because under Su Zhou's slash, the originally broken rock shell began to split and peel off. On the originally spherical planet, a sunken 'valley' appeared, and all the star fragments around the valley were shattered and turned into dust, which permeated the sun-facing surface of the seventh planet.

If you look at it in the universe, the seventh planet, which was originally still considered complete, was directly blasted open at this moment, just like a chocolate ball was deeply scraped with a paper cutter, and it will never return to its original appearance!

And the body of the King of the Empty Prison was directly shattered and crushed into powder by this blow.

Although, there is still a little bit of the wreckage of the body left, which proves that the King of the Empty Prison has not really died, but as Su Zhou takes this wreckage back into his hand, his ending can be imagined.

In the distance, the Starlight Specter lost the confrontation. Its huge body was penetrated by the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light. The spiritual body composed of endless colors is now constantly collapsing. Although he is curbing this self-decomposition, there is no doubt that this Annihilation Envoy has lost most of his combat power.

In one offense and defense, within five minutes, both Annihilation Envoys were defeated by Su Zhou.

The Expedition Envoy Lothar, who was watching all this, has not yet reacted to what happened.

This fleet commander is still gathering his troops, but he is counting on when the two Annihilation Envoys and Su Zhou are fighting fiercely, and he will find a chance to sneak attack.

Naturally, this plan has already failed before it even started.

So, when he realized that Su Zhou's gaze had shifted from the two Annihilation Envoys to him.

The involuntary trembling appeared on his body.

He began to tremble.

Happy Chinese New Year, everyone! May the year of the Ox bring you all kinds of good fortune and may all your wishes come true!

I also wish you all a happy Valentine's Day!
