The Planetary Ring.
Following the coordinates provided by Frebass, the Astral Express arrived in the vicinity.
In front of the train's launch bay.
Frebass and Acheron had already reseated themselves inside the repaired spaceship.
They waited quietly for the remaining two to get ready before making their appearance.
"I entrust my subject to you. You must bring her back to me safe and sound."
Before leaving, Cerydra spoke to Leon.
Yes, the person selected by the draw this time was Hysilens.
Leon felt this was destiny, because the Path Hysilens mimicked...
It was none other than the "Nihility" represented by "IX".
"If I don't bring her back, I won't come back either."
Leon indicated it was a guaranteed deal.
"I am grateful for Mr. Leon's care along the way."
Standing beside Cerydra, Hysilens bowed slightly, paying her respects to him.
"We are all companions; there's no need to talk about care."
As Leon spoke, he sat into Frebass's spaceship.
"Let's go. Let's see just what exactly lies at the end of this 'Nihility'."
He waved his hand, signaling Hysilens to follow.
Hysilens nodded, then also entered the spaceship.
The four of them finished their preparations, and the hatch opened wide.
"Setting off!"
With those words, Frebass pressed the large red circular button newly added to the cockpit.
At the same time Anaxagoras repaired the spaceship,
Tiresias had simultaneously added some thrusters she developed herself.
She said this could greatly improve their efficiency.
With a whoosh.
The spaceship vanished in an instant; it had to be said, these thrusters were indeed powerful.
...
The Gap in the Path of "The Destruction".
The five remaining Lord Ravagers gathered together, simply because They were about to witness the fall of another colleague.
"Someone is heading toward the depths of 'The Nihility'."
As a Self-Annihilator, Zephyro could clearly sense a color on par with his own.
It was rushing toward the depths of "The Nihility".
"Although it is much earlier than expected, it seems my time has come."
Zephyro spoke thus.
"Sigh, to be able to skip the long waiting process and welcome the result at this very moment."
Quietus spoke from the bottom of his heart, "That is truly enviable."
"When will such a good thing happen to me?"
Quietus was truly worried; when would his moment come?
"You are going?"
Celenova, standing to the side, did not look favorably upon Zephyro's decision.
"Although it might be the lingering aftereffects from that previous attack causing a delay in dissipation..."
The scene of Leon inviting "Lan" to possess him,
Boarding the "Aeon" unit, and wounding the God of Destruction in a single strike remained vivid in their memories.
"But given that General's nature of loving to join in the fun, I feel he is likely involved in this as well."
Celenova's implication was very clear.
With that General present, the "Coronation" Zephyro pursued would likely end up in failure just like Iron Tomb's.
"I am willing to turn into fuel, whether I fall in the empty 'Nihility' or become the despairing 'Pale White' that fills the wounded 'Destruction'."
Zephyro indicated his intent to leave was resolute.
"These are all the endings my destiny deserves."
Whether it was falling or Coronation, He accepted them all.
Those who tread "The Destruction" had long been prepared to be "Destroyed".
The "Coronation" Zephyro pursued,
Was to use the color he had tempered until now to oppose "IX", and even occupy "IX".
Until finally replacing Him, directly destroying the entire Path of "The Nihility".
Someone was heading toward the depths of "The Nihility",
And it was someone like him, who had left traces upon "The Nihility".
The trace Zephyro left was white.
This meant that this colleague also possessed their own color.
It was identical in essence to his own "Pale White", yet it was a clearly different color.
Just as Herta becoming the Perfect Scholar was an obstacle to Iron Tomb, these colleagues who possessed their own colors were the greatest obstacles to Zephyro's Coronation.
And Leon was the obstacle among obstacles, yet simultaneously the help among helps.
He would definitely help this colleague traveling with him to seize "The Nihility". If the timing was grasped correctly, He should be able to exploit the opening.
One step ahead of the two,
He would infect "The Nihility" with "Pale White" and successfully Coronate.
As for whether he could beat Leon after the "Coronation", that would be another matter entirely.
Of the eighteen Paths,
"The Nihility" had the highest cost among them, but at the same time, its effect was the most "wheelchair-like".
The mechanism of "The Nihility",
To put it crudely and simply, was the ability to be immune to and even sever the other seventeen Paths.
Within the same level of hierarchy, no method could land upon a Pathstrider of Nihility.
The most "wheelchair" mechanic monster VS the strongest stats monster.
Zephyro felt He could win.
"I'm going."
With those words, Zephyro raised his sword and also rushed toward the end of "The Nihility".
Children who think I will win, remember to type 1!
"We're going to be down another colleague again."
Celenova looked at Zephyro's departing figure and muttered to herself.
Lord Ravagers numbered seven, now only four remained.
Three had folded in the hands of one person, and four had folded in the hands of one faction.
Looking at it now, Phantylia was actually the luckiest one.
Although she was taken in as a dog, as long as she didn't commit any offenses in the future, she could live out her old age in peace on the Xianzhou.
Unlike people like them, who didn't know when Leon would come finding fault with them.
Sigh, boarding the "Aeon" unit again... that was too terrifying.
...
After the spaceship charged into the black hole, its hull was immediately torn by gravity.
If not for the thrusters prepared in advance by Tiresias, and if not for Leon and Acheron taking action, they likely wouldn't have lasted until entering the singularity.
After a bout of spinning heaven and earth.
Frebass's empty-headed plan actually succeeded.
Akivili be praised.
Their luck was good; borrowing the black hole's singularity.
They finally smoothly entered the depths of "The Nihility", but were inexplicably separated.
"Ouch, damn it."
Leon looked at the empty vortex of purple sea before his eyes.
"Where the hell did this send me? Is this still domestic?"
He could feel that this world was filled with "Nihility" of considerably high purity and magnitude.
Just as Leon regained his senses,
A concept that "nothing has meaning" was forcibly stuffed into his brain.
It seemed to want to replace his consciousness.
If his heart of seeking the Dao wasn't firm enough, Leon might have fallen just now.
Fortunately, he had already experienced this move at the hands of Polka, and the firmness of his will had long been demonstrated under Polka's probing.
"Blood Wolf, Blood Wolf, open your mouth, let me know what cup you are!"
Leon shouted this out, stepping forward as if completely unaffected.
In this place, his always keen intuition lost its effect.
Everywhere he sensed was a depressive feeling of wanting to die, causing his intuition to hit a wall at every turn.
The depths of "The Nihility", where "IX" resided.
After all, it was the dwelling of an "Aeon"; shielding Leon's intuition was only reasonable.
Therefore, Leon could only employ the most primitive method of finding people.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he didn't find a single person.
But he saw the "Person" he wanted to see—
"IX"!
