Chapter 36: Caul Disappears in the L77 Explosion
Chapter 36: Caul Disappears in the L77 Explosion
Lava gushed out of the torn earth's crust like a fountain, turning the sky, which was originally covered by smoke, crimson. The entire royal city of L77 was sinking, and tens of thousands of buildings collapsed and turned to ashes in the earthquake.
In the final countdown of life on this planet, only three figures remain standing at the heart of the apocalypse.
Those members of the Magma Royal Guard who originally wanted to rush forward to attack retreated out of the atmosphere under the dual pressure of the Emperor's orders and the terrifying fully-formed Zetton. They knew very well that once His Majesty the Emperor got serious, staying on the ground would only make them cannon fodder caught in the crossfire.
In the vast Royal City Square, only Emperor Magma and Kaul, standing at Jeton's feet, remained.
"What a beautiful destruction... My justice... has been fully served," Emperor Magma pointed his sword at the ground, feeling the dying tremors of the planet beneath his feet, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "To be able to fight against a top-quality cosmic dinosaur and the purest Reonics at the last moment of this world's destruction, Arus has indeed raised a fine son."
"Shut up!" Caul's eyes were still streaming with blood and tears that represented the planet's grief.
"A tyrant like you, who only knows how to plunder and kill, is not worthy of mentioning my father's name! Nor is he worthy of commenting on this planet!"
With all his might, Kaul hurled the Lion Sword into the air, simultaneously tearing off his King's Cloak and flinging it off along with the greatsword.
"Little White! Take this!" But when Kaul looked at Little White, he suddenly felt that calling him Little White was almost inappropriate, but his focus was still on the battle.
"Zeton!" The fully-formed Zeton, standing sixty meters tall, raised its arm.
The Lion Sword, originally only the size of Kaul's own body, swelled in mid-air, transforming into a giant sword tens of meters long. The red king's cloak also grew to a gigantic size and was draped over Whitey's black armor shoulders.
Xiao Bai grabbed the hilt of the Lion Sword.
This is a bizarre scene never imagined in the entire universe: a cosmic dinosaur, which is regarded as a synonym for demons and destruction, is now wearing a cloak symbolizing the justice and glory of the Leo royal family and holding the Lion Sword, just like a knight!
With a powerful leap, Kaur landed steadily on Jaden's shoulder.
At this moment, it wasn't just Kaul's consciousness, but also Little White's instincts and the generalized consciousness of revenge from Planet L77; the three were perfectly intertwined.
Without any preparatory movements, Xiaobai vanished from his spot without warning.
"Spatial teleportation? Too slow."
Emperor Magma snorted coldly. As a battle-hardened cosmic overlord, he didn't need to use his eyes to capture anything. Relying solely on his intuition, he turned around, wielding his swords in both hands, and slashed at the void behind him!
In the void, Little White's figure appeared, wielding the Lion Sword and forcefully blocking Emperor Magma's strike.
"Is this all the power you have? Nothing special!" The Emperor attempted to crush Zetton with sheer force.
But the emperor's expression changed the next second.
He discovered that the brute force emanating from this Jaden sword was immense, and that it was applied with skill, not just random strikes.
Kaul stood on Jaden's shoulders, his hands mimicking the motion of wielding a sword. In this stalemate, the Emperor and the Trinity's Little White began their battle.
Just a few minutes later, Kaul and L77 were the first to give out.
Because L77's lifespan had come to an end, Kaul felt that the heartbeat of the planet beneath his feet had stopped. The surface had completely shattered into isolated islands floating on the lava, and the collapse of the Earth's core had reached a critical point. A deep blue light of destruction was spreading upwards from the depths of the Earth's core.
This is a precursor to a planetary explosion.
In the distant lava lake, Emperor Magma soared into the sky. The wound he had sustained from King Arus had reopened, and was even more severe. Half of his body was charred by a fireball of one trillion degrees. As the overlord of the Alien Empera, who was comparable to the Great Emperor of the Dark Universe, he had never suffered such a humiliation!
So he decided to fight White and Kaul to the very last moment.
"This planet is about to explode!" the Emperor's adjutant cried for help on the mothership's communication channel. "Your Majesty! Retreat immediately! Even you would be injured in a planetary supernova explosion of this magnitude!"
The emperor gleamed his sword and, facing Kaul and Little White, unleashed his strongest attack, instantly defeating the powerless Little White and Kaul.
White was reactivated into the Battle Device, and Kaul deactivated Reonics mode, lying on the ground awaiting his death.
He did not regret anything he had done, or his current fate. He had already sensed that all his plans had succeeded, that the Ark carrying the L77 spark had left, and that his brothers and Regulus had also left under some circumstances.
"This trip was truly worthwhile..."
He had changed history, and the only price he paid was his own death—a worthwhile trade.
"Let's do it... Emperor Magma."
"You deserve my respect just like your father, but my justice is the survival of the fittest, so die."
Just as Emperor Magma was about to make his move, L77 helped Kaul by exploding—exploding into countless fragments.
In the firelight, Kaul gripped the combat device, wanting to release Little White and let him escape on his own. Although Little White resisted fiercely, Kaul still gave up.
"Let's go to Earth, the most beautiful planet in the universe. If there's an afterlife... maybe we'll meet again." After saying that, Kaul closed his eyes, feeling the connection between himself and Little White severed, and the pain coming from his lower body. Then he knew nothing more.
It was as if he were dead.
Emperor Magma abandoned the idea of killing Kaul during the explosion, because from his perspective, Kaul mysteriously disappeared from his sight while holding the combat device, and his pet also turned into a golden card and spun away from the explosion.
Of course, he himself was also in bad shape. He was knocked unconscious by the explosion, and when he woke up again, he was on his own mothership.
I had just woken up when I heard my adjutant come over with a message.
"Your Majesty, the fleet heading to D60 has been destroyed, and Volugan has also disappeared during the invasion. If I am not mistaken, they were directly wiped out by the local natives."
The emperor nodded, indicating that he understood, and waved for him to leave if there was nothing else to do.
But before the adjutant could leave, he reported another message: "Your Majesty, we captured a member of the L77 royal family, but we tortured him before you gave the order. As for the remaining two and Ark..."
"We haven't found it yet."
The emperor nodded, indicating that he was aware of the matter: "Throw the captured fellow out and let him die on his own. I don't need such a useless prisoner. And all those who tortured him, kill them all."
"But...."
"No buts... I don't need subordinates who torture others when they're weak." This was a strange feeling he had about Arus and Kaul; he acknowledged their abilities.
