Chapter 942: Final Confrontation Between [Chaos] And [Order]

The 900 million World Layers.

The Fallen Zones.

Within a certain destroyed world.

The fight between Soul Shrieker and [Demon King Order] had reached a conclusion.

All sorts of powerful weaponized Demon Lords had been completely defeated, their gigantic bodies laid all over the ground, unable to move.

The ground of this world was also filled with the corpses of demonized people and demons.

The Soul Shrieker stood on top of the countless corpses, holding a human male by his head as it forced him to look at it straight-on.

「『 Look at me, I know you’re hiding on this Bygone Era corpse 」』

The Soul Shrieker then spoke with its male voice:

「 Although we have always been competing for living beings and worlds and had yet to speak to one another, the situation has now changed 」

「 Tiny and weak [Order], you have forced me into long and arduous combat, preventing me from consuming the marvelous souls of billions of world—– 」

The Soul Shrieker’s male voice abruptly turned into a high-pitched female voice that shouted in fury: 『 I will now destroy your everything, end this war, and seal you so that you can never awaken ever again! 』

The human male spat out blood and scoffed: “As a hunter of souls, you are too insane, and foolish”

『 You think that I’ve already gone mad? 』the Soul Shrieker asked full of implications.

The human male replied: “Of course you’ve gone mad! Haven’t you ever considered that if all living beings were to be destroyed at once, in a faraway future, you will cut off your own source of food—— you can’t even understand such a simple principle”

『 Cut off my own source of food? Ahahahaha! 』

The Soul Shrieker looked up to the sky and laughed as if it had heard some sort of ridiculous joke.

After a long while, it mocked: 『 While everyone thinks of me as being foolish or insane, I have already managed to complete the most important step of my plan 』

What it said had apparently gone beyond the human male’s expectation as he displayed a look of confusion.

The Soul Shrieker observed him, then changed back to its male voice: 「 I can already sense it, within the entire 900 million World Layers, there is no longer anyone who carries the [Demon King Order], which means…」

「 [Demon King Order], everything that you stand for is over, including yourself, every [Order] will now fall into eternal slumber, never to bother me again 」

Originally, the human male was still relatively calm, but as soon as he heard that, he started to panic unlike never before.

“You were the one who carried the seed of [Chaos]!”

He shouted loudly, doing his best to struggle and escape from the other party’s hand.

——–but the Soul Shrieker’s grip was like a vice and didn’t budge at all.

A few moments later.

The man breathed heavily and gave up on struggling.

He seemed to have realized everything and muttered: “No wonder back in the Age of Old, the [Demon King Order] was the first [Order] that you awakened”

The Soul Shrieker revealed a triumphant smile and slowly said: 「 Indeed, among all the [Orders], the [Demon King Order] was the most extreme. As long as it was the first to be awakened, it would surely never try to awaken other [Orders] right away—– and I came up with the way to exploit this, slowly formulating my plan to push the [Orders] into a dead-end 」

“No—–” the man said in despair.

The Soul Shrieker used both its male and female voice in unison and spoke: 「『 Final carrier of [Order]… at the moment of your death, I will thoroughly seal the [Demon King Order] away. From now on, all [Orders] will lose their chance to awaken, while my true body has already begun to move and spread true [Chaos] across the infinite worlds 」』

The Soul Shrieker suddenly raised its voice and declared: 「『 In the final confrontation between [Order] and [Chaos], I have obtained the final victory for the side of [Chaos]! 」』

It reached out its other hand and pierced through the man’s body.

The man writhed in pain, but unable to do anything as his life slowly left him.

“Envoy of… [Chaos]. You will… not get what you wish”

Saying so, he finally died.

The Soul Shrieker lightly put the body on the ground and began to chant an incantation towards the corpse.

While chanting, it was also moving around the corpse with a very serious expression.

——right now, it wasn’t showing any signs of madness that its enemies assumed it to have.

A few moments later.

The Soul Shrieker stopped, then whispered towards the corpse: 「『 With [Chaos] as the core, I shall permanently seal this [Order] away! 」』

An intense wind current emerged off from its body, fully enveloping the corpse.

A split second later——

While Soul Shrieker was just about to show a smile, the wind current abruptly scattered.

Nothing changed about the corpse at all.

The Soul Shrieker was shocked.

「『 No—— DETESTABLE [ORDER]!!! 」』

Its furious roar resounded across this entire world.

…

At another location.

The Mystic Zones.

The Bramble Bird Kingdom.

A pretty and graceful girl standing in the middle of the arena was wielding a Blade, slowly calming her breath down.

Around her, several fully-armed Bramble Bird guards were standing back up.

“That’s enough. Sheesh girlie, you look so gentle, but you’re scarier than any enemy I’ve ever fought” a Bramble Bird guard dejectedly hung his head.

“Right, we’re just training, but I keep feeling like you’re going to take my life when you move” another Bramble Bird guard also complained.

As Ning Yue Chan sheathed her Blade, her presence changed and she returned to her gentle self.

“My apologies, I didn’t think that you were all holding back” she said apologetically.

The Bramble Bird guards were a bit stunned.

“Ah—– yes! We were only holding back”

“That’s right, it’s just training, why would we have gone all out?”

“It’s just a sparring session, there’s no need to put our lives at stake”

They all followed up on her words, then supported each other out.

Ning Yue Chan pursed her lips, barely able to maintain her expression and stopped herself from smiling.

——these people were all born and raised in a privileged environment, they all had the best kinds of armor and weapons, but their personal strength wasn’t anything to write home about, so it wasn’t easy for her to win.

Unfortunately, it’s been a long time since I’ve fought on the verge of life and death, so my Bladesmanship is progressing incredibly slowly.

I wonder how that guy is now…

She sighed nostalgically.

Laura said that she was going to pick him up, so it would take a few more days until they returned.

I’ll be able to meet him at that time.

All of a sudden, Ning Yue Chan’s expression changed.

A line of blood-red text appeared in her vision out of nowhere.

[Final carrier of the Life Order, I need you to do something now]

“What?” Ning Yue Chan asked.

The blood-red text replied: [Go to the Strife Zones and look for a certain person. Do not worry, I know a secret route that will allow you to enter the hidden Strife Zones]

“Why do such a thing?” Ning Yue Chan curiously asked.

[Because that person carries the other half of me. Now that time has come, you will need to make me whole again]

Ning Yue Chan hesitated.

When they first entered the Strife Zones, she managed to make it through the test before Gu Qing Shan and was reinforced by the [Life Order].

It was said that the Gods hated the [Orders] so they created a few [Orders] for themselves to fight against the true [Orders].

The [Life Order] was one such creation.

But as the final words of the 7 Daemons and the path to Godhood was announced, the [Life Order] no longer existed.

Ning Yue Chan was the only one who still carried a bit of the [Life Order]’s power.

I’m just a bit away from being able to see him again, and yet this happened.

Perhaps noticing Ning Yue Chan’s hesitation, the blood-red text appeared once again:

[You and that person must make sure that I regain my power, as this is related to the future of all living beings]

[If both that person and you fail, believe me, the infinite worlds will fall to total destruction]

[Having fought by my side for so long, I believe you know that I do not lie]

Ning Yue Chan sighed and made her decision.

“You’ve saved me a few times” she reluctantly said, “And I don’t like having to owe people, so tell me, who do you want me to find?”

The appearance of a girl appeared from the void of space.

———she looked like a beautiful and pure young girl, smiling sweetly at Ning Yue Chan.

Ning Yue Chan scowled: “This girl looks too pure, not at all like a fighter—— after the Divine revelation of the 7 Daemons disappeared, the Strife Zones had fallen, becoming a complete chaotic mess, are you sure someone like her would still be alive?”

Lines of blood-red text flashed and appeared from the void of space in front of her eyes again:

[This is her appearance from long ago, she had only just made it to the Fog Isle of the Sea of Death at the time]

Ning Yue Chan was surprised: “The Fog Isle of the Sea of Death? So, she’s a card user”

Lines of blood-red text continued to appear in the void of space:

[Go, Ning Yue Chan, you must find this girl, because my other half is currently in a dormant state while hiding with her]

[You both must come together and awaken my true self]
