Chapter 1613: Please, My King, Die
Countless people rushed forward, fearless, charging toward the falling Ceres!
Chasing that single beam of fire illuminating the darkness!
Mi Ye was covered in a blood armor, countless crystalline spider threads shooting out in all directions!
"Net!"
The threads pulled at Ceres on one side and clung to the rock walls of Moon Eye on the other!
Each thread, stretched taut, snapped one by one, but new threads immediately took their place!
At this moment, Mi Ye was giving everything she had!
Bai Kou radiated extreme cold, both hands raised to the sky!
"Frostfall • Ninety-Nine Layers of Snow!"
"Winter Solstice • Extreme Cold Ice Peak!"
Massive snowflakes slowed Ceres's descent!
On the rock walls of Moon Eye, ten-thousand-meter ice peaks continuously grew, forcefully pressing against Ceres's side, increasing friction!
Ye Zhenguo roared, transforming into a hundred-meter dragon, breathing dragon breath toward Ceres!
He charged head-on, his massive dragon body holding tight, even while coughing blood from the pressure, he desperately flapped his wings!
Bige turned into a thousand-meter giant, withstanding the force with his physical body!
Nike released the Da Qing Ban!
Every Dao Heaven, at this moment, gave their all, betting everything they had in this desperate fight!
Over a hundred thousand people were all bracing beneath Ceres!
The explosions filling their ears were the most passionate drumbeats; the hoarse, desperate roars were the most stirring war hymns!
Echoing across the entire battlefield!
Jiang Nan coughed up blood, but his eyes were incredibly bright!
It was this burning passion in his chest that stirred the soul, impossible to let go!
At this moment, every single person was a spark ignited!
And those sparks, dot by dot, joined together to become a raging flame! Enough to burn this starry sky to ashes!
"Fight to your heart's content, everyone!"
"This! Is our era!"
"Boom!"
Crimson fire blazed wildly, nine phoenixes soared in the sky!
Under the collective effort, they managed to have some effect on the massive Ceres!
But it wasn't enough! Far from enough to stop Ceres's fall!
Jiang Nan's gaze fell on Mo Mo!
"Mo Mo! It's time! Bring it out!"
Mo Mo nodded repeatedly, and the massive star whale materialized!
Opening its mouth wide, it spat out a Ling Xu core over thirty meters in diameter, radiating intense spatial fluctuations!
This was the core of Han Shan Ling Xu, the half Jiang Nan had combined with the one in Bai Kou's hands!
As for the one in the Alliance base, it was long gone—just a decoy!
The moment the core appeared, the Black Ram Disk emerged, its horns shimmering with brilliant glazed light!
It rammed hard into the Ling Xu core!
The core was launched through space, crashing straight into the depths of Ceres, its buoyancy effect taking hold!
"Rumble!"
Thunderous roars never ceased, and the massive Ceres slowed further under the core's influence!
But still not enough!
Jiang Nan even drove the several core fragments he brought back from the Void Sea deep into Ceres!
"Little Walnut! What are you waiting for!"
"Yes, boss!"
Under Little Walnut's control, the Star-Devouring Giant Worm braced its massive body against Ceres, adding another force to the Alliance army!
With efforts from all sides, Ceres's descent finally slowed down!
But by now, Jiang Nan and the others were nearing their limits. Everyone was fighting desperately!
Whether they could hold out to the end was still uncertain!
But just then!
Freya radiated a brilliant green light, floating in the void!
Her expression solemn, she pressed her hands together in prayer against her chest, bowing her head slightly!
(O˘ʃƪ˘O) "World Tree!"
A colossal emerald tree, over thirty thousand meters tall, appeared within Moon Eye, glowing with dazzling green light!
Its trunk was vigorous like a coiled dragon, with lush foliage and a sky-scraping canopy!
Freya wore a flower crown, like a goddess stepping out of a celestial palace!
Her expression was gentle and utterly beautiful!
"Life is a miracle beneath the starry sky, making this world more wonderful. But the meaning of life is not merely to live!"
"The true meaning lies in what you do, what you leave behind, what you change..."
"Bloom to your heart's content! Live the most brilliant life in your limited time! Leave a bold stroke in this era!"
"Leave everything to me!"
Green light rain drifted down from the World Tree, rising upward to fall upon the star-bearers!
Basking in the light rain, Jiang Nan and the others' wounds healed rapidly, their Life Essence reaching explosive levels!
But this was far from over!
"Blessing of the Life Goddess!"
Behind Freya, two pure white wings of light unfurled, and her entire body emitted a soft white glow!
Under the white light, everyone's spiritual power recovered to full in just a few breaths!
Jiang Nan looked at Freya in shock!
∑(°口°๑) She... she's this powerful?
Damn! Restoring the entire Alliance army single-handedly?
This slovenly woman is this strong when she gets serious?
The title of Life Goddess wasn't given for nothing!
If it weren't for Xiao Mila, she would probably be the strongest healer on Lan Xing!
With Freya's recovery, safely holding Ceres was no longer a problem!
At this moment, Rui Sen was going crazy, watching helplessly as Jiang Nan and the others held Ceres!
But no matter what he did, he couldn't break free from the encirclement of the many space-types!
Especially Baldr—one lapse in concentration could cost lives!
The lethality of a ceiling-level space-type was no joke!
Rui Sen and Rui Ya alone couldn't break through the blockade!
But he couldn't just watch Jiang Nan and the others succeed!
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "Jego! Take your people and charge! Kill! Kill those star-bearers!"
"If Ceres lands safely, you won't live either!"
At this moment, Jego and the remnants of the One-Eyed Army had already given their all!
But Little Walnut and his men blocked them, refusing to let them pass!
Bai Kou and Mi Ye, while busy stopping Ceres, also kept Jego in check!
Hearing Rui Sen's orders, Jego's eyes were full of difficulty!
"Holy Envoy, the remaining energy of my brothers is really low. We can't break through! You..."
Rui Sen cursed: "What the hell are you even good for? If you can't break through, then force your way through!"
"Aren't there the Destruction Eyes? Have them charge over and blow themselves up! Kill as many as you can!"
"Don't forget why Lord Igor brought you here!"
Jego's expression stiffened. Looking at his brothers who had fought alongside him all this way, his heart was filled with sorrow!
Then he raised his head toward Jiang Nan and the others, his eyes already set with resolve!
He was about to give the order, but Little Walnut, standing on the Star-Devouring Giant Worm, stared at Jego from afar and roared!
"King Jego! Don't you see yet? In the eyes of the Bose, the Pupil Race is nothing but cannon fodder—worse than dogs!"
"Not even worth a single Incense Bead! King! Wake up!"
"This is not the war of our Pupil Race! Win or lose, only destruction awaits us!"
"What are you still insisting on? Where will this path lead your race? Have you already forgotten the world the Pupil Race once had?"
Jego was stunned. His mouth opened, the words to order the charge on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't utter them!
His eyes were full of defeat, and he looked blankly at Ceres!
Yeah... what good would winning do?
Would the Pupil Race win a future for themselves? No!
Once this moon shattered, that would be the Pupil Race's mission—like a tool, discarded at will...
At this moment, Jego's eyes were full of struggle!
But Rui Sen panicked: "Jego! You dare! If you betray me, the Holy Star won't let you off!"
"The Bose won't let you off either! They'll wipe out your entire race! You know our power!"
"Don't forget! You are slaves! You bear the Slave Mark!"
Jego gently touched his eye. Deep within, a glazed mark emitted a faint light!
If he disobeyed, Rui Sen could kill him at any moment!
But at this moment, Jego no longer cared about the Slave Mark in his eye!
Instead, he looked at Jiang Nan and the others bearing the star, muttering to himself!
"Once... the Pupil Race was not a slave race. We had freedom, our own home star, homeland, civilization..."
"We once fought for our homeland, just like the humans, but we lost..."
"At some point, even freedom became a luxury, huh? Hmph~"
Little Walnut's eyes were filled with reluctance, his eyes slightly red, as he performed the king's salute to Jego and bowed deeply!
"Please, my king, die for the Pupil Race!"
Not just Little Walnut, even the One-Eyed in Tongcheng echoed in succession!
"Please, our king, die!"
At this moment, Jego could not betray because of the Slave Mark, but he also could not give the order for the destruction charge!
Jego laughed. The queen was no longer there. There was nothing left in this world worth clinging to!
Then let him do something for his race, worthy of the throne!
"A fine 'die for the Pupil Race' it is!"
Jego turned his gaze to Jiang Nan, his expression solemn!
"Since you choose to win, then keep winning. Don't end up like my Pupil Race. The true Pupil Race perished the moment they were branded with the Slave Mark..."
As he spoke, Jego's gaze fell on Little Walnut!
"Good. The throne is yours now. Take it well! I hope... you can lead the Pupil Race to carve out a future!"
With that, Jego turned his gaze to Rui Sen, his eyes slowly turning cold!
Rui Sen raged: "Jego! You dare! You..."
Jego sneered: "I dare even to die. What else is there to fear now? I only want to tell you one thing!"
"You are really pathetic!"
"Destruction Eye!"
In that instant, Jego's eye blazed with extreme violet light, all the remaining energy in his single eye erupting at once!
"Boom!"
The dazzling violet light became the only radiance in Moon Eye, completely swallowing Jego's figure!
That was the path Jego chose for himself!
Not dying for others!
The violet light shining in Moon Eye was the last dignity and glory of this One-Eyed King!
He died for his race!
