Chapter 1980: Death of Chaos
"Can you see anything at all?"
"I can see some vague light, but nothing else is visible..."
Su Zhe looked at those blood-red eyes and苦涩地开口，"Then I guess I'm a bit luckier... I can still see."
Lu Baoyou braced his hands against the ground, trying to sit up from the debris, but as soon as he exerted force, he began coughing violently, bright red clots of blood constantly spewing from his throat.
"Hey, why are you coughing so badly??" Hearing Lu Baoyou's bellows-like gasping, Su Zhe frowned and spoke.
His palm swept across Lu Baoyou's body, and his gaze slightly sharpened,
"Were you already injured before this?"
"Yeah... when fighting 【Chaos】." Lu Baoyou endured the excruciating pain and stood up from the debris. Those diffused eyes scanned his surroundings, asking somewhat urgently, "Where's 【Chaos】? Is 【Chaos】 dead?"
At this, Su Zhe also abruptly lifted his head, squinting as he surveyed their surroundings...
"Not sure... we're too far away. Let's get closer and take a look."
Su Zhe's palm reached into the seawater again. The piece of debris floating on the sea surface acted like a speedboat, cutting through the ravaged waters propelled by sonic booms, heading straight toward the center of the Ancestral God Temple.
Chaotic Ancestral God Temple ruins drifted in every corner of the sea's surface. Even that magnificent stone city hadn't survived the impact of the Ancestral God Temple's destruction. This oldest divine kingdom had forever sunk into these waters in its act of self-destruction.
The sky had been scorched white by the searing light, leaving black holes. Sunlight shone upon them, as if blocked by an extremely massive disc, casting a massive black shadow across the ruined sea...
And within this black circular shadow, a piece of debris was slowly drifting toward the center.
"Still haven't found it?"
Lu Baoyou's vision was damaged; he couldn't see his surroundings at all, so he simply closed his eyes and asked.
"No... the Ancestral God Temple has been blown to pieces. I can't tell one place from another." Su Zhe carefully observed his surroundings, when suddenly, his gaze stopped on a piece of debris.
He immediately steered the seawater toward it. When his hand reached into the debris and returned, there was something bloody in his palm.
Su Zhe squinted, carefully examining this thing for a long while. His pupils slightly contracted!
It was a shard of a dark eye.
Su Zhe recognized this eyeball. Not long ago, this eyeball had still been in 【Chaos】's socket, looking at him with fury... and now, this eyeball seemed to still retain不甘与愤怒！
His hands couldn't stop trembling...
"We won..."
"What?" Lu Baoyou immediately asked.
"WE WON!! 【Chaos】 is dead! The body was blown to pieces!!" Su Zhe gripped this shard of the eyeball, two streams of tears flowing down his cheeks, speaking while crying and laughing, "We killed Him!! We killed Him!!!"
Lu Baoyou's body shuddered violently. "Are you sure? Is He really dead?"
Su Zhe's hand scooped again in the seawater beside the debris and pulled up a shattered skull cap with traces of blood still on it. He spoke with certainty:
"Dead! He's definitely dead!"
Hearing this, the pale corner of Lu Baoyou's mouth finally lifted slightly... This always-cold-as-ice person revealed, for the first time, an expression of relief.
"Finally dead... We've completed our mission. Completed it..."
The strength supporting his body gradually faded. He collapsed back onto the debris surface. Those diffused eyes stared blankly at the sky burned with black holes. The blurry light and shadows reflected onto his retina as Su Zhe's tearful, laughing voice came from beside him:
"Fang Mo! Do you see that?! We killed 【Chaos】... We killed 【Chaos】! And Zhenzhen, Liu Jun, Han Chuang... Do you all see that??"
"Little sis... Don't ever say your brother is useless again. Your brother still has some use, right?"
"So what if you're the Cthulhu Faction leader? So what if you're one of the Three Pillars?? You still died at the hands of us ants!"
"【Devil】 Squad is amazing! Great Xia Human Immortals are amazing! Twelve Patriarch Gods are amazing!!"
"Hahahahaha..."
Su Zhe's rambling gradually faded into the distance. Lu Baoyou's eyes slowly closed...
"Hey, Lu Baoyou?! What's wrong?" Su Zhe seemed to notice his abnormality and immediately leaned in to ask.
Long before, in the battle against 【Chaos】, Lu Baoyou's body had already reached its limit. Now, having taken another severe blow, the hidden injuries in his body had erupted once more. He could clearly feel his life force continuously draining away... His time was probably running out.
However, since they had successfully killed 【Chaos】, all of this was worth it.
"Su Zhe... Perhaps, you'll have to return to Great Xia alone." Lu Baoyou slowly spoke. "I'm about done for... We killed 【Chaos】. We're the great heroes of this war... When the time comes, someone should be there to receive that glory on our behalf."
"You? You want me to endure that glory alone? Are you kidding?!" Su Zhe's eyes went wide.
"I'm just a laggard, a useless coward who only knows how to retreat. No, I'm not even a member of the 【Devil】 Squad anymore. Why should I..."
BANG——
A faint collision sound came from the distance, as if something heavy had landed on the sea surface.
Su Zhe's voice stopped abruptly.
Then came a deathly silence.
The sudden stillness caused Lu Baoyou's fading consciousness to return to his body. His hairs stood on end.
He tried to lift his head to look toward the direction of the sound, but could only see blurry light and shadows. He asked hoarsely:
"Su Zhe, what's wrong? What was that sound?"
Su Zhe paused for a long while before slowly speaking:
"Nothing... it's nothing."
Lu Baoyou frowned, about to say something, when Su Zhe's voice came again: "By the way, I just remembered something..."
"What?"
"You can't die... At least, not here." Su Zhe spoke seriously. "Don't you still have someone you haven't seen?"
Hearing this sentence, Lu Baoyou's body slightly trembled.
"How do you know?"
"A girl, about twenty-two years old now, who used to be a beggar, right?" Su Zhe said. For some reason, he spoke quickly. "Before I arrived, the Fate Monk told me this, asking me to pass it on to you... He's already found that girl."
Lu Baoyou's pupils contracted. A face flashed through his mind!
He summoned strength from who knows where and struggled to get up from the debris. "What did you say? Found?"
"Yeah... She really wants to see you. Don't you want to see her one more time before you die?"
