CH 96

At the moment when the crack opened, Garuda looked up in confusion, then his eyes were illuminated by a light that seemed to come from hell.

Boom!

It was like a bullet finally flying out of the barrel after a long brewing.

In front of everyone's eyes, a train came speeding out of the open crack, as if leaping from the abyss and descending from the sky!

With its seven carriages and the tremendous inertia and terrifying mass of three hundred and fifteen tons brought by its high speed, the deadly "bullet" hit the angry giant bird head-on, causing a deafening explosion.

The precious gem shattered.

Just like being hit by an iron hammer, a large crack suddenly appeared on the solemn and sacred giant gem above Garuda's head.

In that instant, the giant bird instinctively tilted its head, and then its slender neck, massive body, and riddled wings burst open, spewing out a glassy blood.

The iron train plowed through the just-born body of the sacred beast, tearing open a huge wound in this pure collision of mass, inertia, and brutal physics.

With several carriages hanging from its tail flying out in violent shaking, the front carriage had already pierced into Garuda's chest like an iron pillar.

Blood gushed out like a waterfall, igniting itself in mid-air, splashing in all directions like a scorching lava flow.

Garuda roared in anger, raised his resentful eyes towards the void crack that suddenly opened in front of him, and saw a girl standing in the darkness at the end of the track.

He looked at Ai Qing.

Ai Qing also looked at him.

Despite being tortured by the high temperature carried in that gaze, her expression remained indifferent. She slowly raised the handle in her hand, deftly opened the lid, and then pressed down on the red button.

"Goodbye."

Ai Qing raised her finger indifferently and waved goodbye to Garuda.

In that instant, the tunnel seemed to stretch dozens of times in the suddenly distorted space. Countless streams of light changed, and the cracks in the void suddenly closed.

The girl disappeared.

In her place, a light lit up on Garuda's chest.

From within the damaged carriage that pierced his chest, hundreds of kilograms of alchemical explosives suddenly ignited, bringing forth deathly poison fire from hell.

These explosives, forged by scholars using various metals, were originally created as weapons of slaughter for border exploration and hell exploration.

At this moment, they erupted from within Garuda's body.

Endless flames and high heat spread out, causing a thousand times more shockwaves and aftermath.

In an instant, the once solemn and dignified giant bird rapidly swelled up, torn apart by the terrifying power bursting from within its body. Fiery flames spewed from its widened eyes and mouth, burning the entire ceiling above it to a fiery red.

The terrifying aftermath swept in all directions, and countless altars fell into the abyss in the turmoil, crashing onto the still-warm corpses of the Nine Phoenix.

The suppression from the Great Secret Art, Charta Strata, was now conveyed to Garuda through pure physical formulas. The terrifying power that could send the entire stadium into the sky erupted from within him, almost pulverizing him.

When the flames dissipated, Garuda's mangled body appeared before everyone's eyes, almost unbearable to look at.

One wing had completely evaporated in the flames, while the other had been burned into charred fragments. The lower half of his body had completely disappeared, incinerated along with the lake of black blood.

In the gruesome cavity in his chest, no internal organs could be seen, only the black skeleton that resembled towering trees...

The glassy blood rained down like a storm from the sky, igniting everything in its path with a bright and pure flame.

"How is the effect?"

Ai Qing's voice came through the earpiece.

Liu Dongli happily whistled and put down the scope on his gun. "Heavy damage!"

"Very good." Ai Qing's voice was calm. "If it's so colorful, no one can say that the New Sea Astronomy Division has done nothing, right?"

"But..." Liu Dongli cautiously poked his head out and looked at the screaming Garuda in the abyss. "It seems like it's going to run away."

"Then let it run." Ai Qing sneered. "If it can escape."

The communication was cut off.

In that instant, in this broken mirror world, the red dome that had been burned to a fiery red was suddenly covered by darkness—calling it darkness might not be accurate, to be precise, it was like the vastness of the universe.

Like a night curtain unfolding, it suddenly appeared from the void, revealing a faint starlight in the eternal darkness of the universe.

First, the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth appeared, followed by the Milky Way spanning across, and the Big Dipper and Little Dipper emerged. The stars rotated, and from the divisions of southeast, northwest, the twenty-eight constellations of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Basalt lit up with brilliant and cold light.

Under the illumination of the stars, a point of fiery starlight suddenly appeared in the center of the night curtain.

It quickly enlarged.

Just like a falling star.

Intense light descended from the void star chart, as if burning meteorites crashing onto the invisible earth, causing a thunderous explosion and a pale shockwave.

Under the protection of the star flame, a dignified old man wearing a black crane robe appeared in the void.

The mottled long hair was tied into a bun behind his head, his eyes were slender, and his narrow eyes seemed to carry a natural dominance and gloom, looking down on everything.

If only he wasn't holding that bucket of instant noodles in his hand.

And if he could change those flip-flops he was wearing...

Moreover, the pair of slippers were obviously not a set, the left yellow slipper had a SpongeBob on it, while the right pink slipper was printed with a white HELLOKITTY...

The moment he appeared, whether it was Liu Dongli, Rijian Amber, or other Sublimators, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"We're safe now."

Liu Dongli wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and took a deep breath.

The director of the East Social Security Bureau, the Minister of the Cabinet Wenyuan, the real power holder in the East lineage.

——Tianming Xuanbird!

"You guys have worked hard, finish your work early and go home for dinner."

The old man glanced back at his subordinates, then looked at the instant noodles in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh: "Eating instant noodles for overtime work is too hard on the stomach."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and slurped the last noodles in the bowl into his mouth, then picked up the bowl and drank the soup with a sense of regret. After wiping his mouth, he looked down at Garuda in the abyss of horror.

"Good idea, you have potential."

Xuanbird commented indifferently, "What a pity."

As he spoke, he raised the plastic fork in his hand and jabbed it towards Garuda.

Even though they were both at the fifth stage, Garuda's expression was as if he had seen a ghost, screaming in horror, and his broken left wing began to flap desperately.

In an instant, countless remnants rose from where he was, flying in all directions, and in a blink of an eye, he left the small city of Xin Hai behind and leaped millions of miles.

Open sky!

If Garuda wanted to run, no one could stop him!

At least that's what the mythological source said, but... the bastards who wrote the settings are now eating their words!

Even though he had thousands of clones, under the old man's indifferent gaze, the countless clones were dissipating like bubbles.

Even though he had escaped millions of miles, under that gradually approaching plastic fork, no matter how hard he flapped his wings, he couldn't extend a single inch of distance.

In the end, he let out a shrill scream, a bright and pure fire rose from his body, and in an instant, he was swallowed up.

The broken mirror world suddenly shook, swallowing him up.

Mirror world transition!

This is the covenant between the Blessed Land and the Mirror World.

Ninety-one years ago, during the Great Cataclysm of the Worlds, the Ranch Master married the ruler of the Mirror World, the 'Queen of Rotten Dreams', two non-human beings gave birth to a remnant of existence after sixteen years of union in the Misty Realm, and made an eternal covenant.

From then on, all the purified people were given the power of the Mirror World by the Ranch Master.

At this moment, Garuda had already delved into the deepest layer of the Mirror World labyrinth, hiding himself in the deepest part of countless faults.

Reality and illusion switch.

Only a reflection was left in the original place.

The next moment, the illusion shattered.

Garuda in the depths of the Mirror World was also ejected, with a huge hole appearing in his head, clearly on the verge of death. But this brief gap had bought him enough time.

At that moment, he raised his head and let out a roar.

Summon the power of the Ranch Master!

——He's calling for help!

So, in the blink of an eye, the gate of the Blessed Land opened with a bang behind him, the majestic aura froze the entire underground, and countless hunting angels flew out, like a flood.

Blood was like a rainbow.

It burst out from those broken hunting angels, and even before Xuanbird could make a move, they were cut into pieces as they spewed out of the door.

In the midst of that bloody wind, a roar suddenly came from the turbulent world behind the door, and then a slender figure struggled and screamed as it flew out.

"Help..."

The slender figure tumbled clumsily in the air, "Move, move!"

The shadow quickly enlarged in Garuda's stunned eyes, and in the end, it hit his broken face. From the chaos, the person instinctively reached out and swiped randomly, and Garuda's head fell off his neck.

Shattered to pieces in the sudden cold light.

Died on the spot.

Until his death, he couldn't understand why what he called for was not the rescue of the holy god, but a death star.

In the chaotic collision, the figure that fell from the sky crashed onto the altar, stirring up a cloud of dust and coughing violently.

In the mess, the girl climbed up in embarrassment, looked around, and was confused.

"Where is this?"

She looked around in surprise at the familiar faces:

"Where am I? Where did I run off to again?"
