Inside the subspace, after Kallen's utterly serious yet utterly absurd declaration fell—
The Aeon of Elation, who regarded the entire universe as a playground, froze.
What the hell?
Love is infinite?
What kind of nonsense was that?
One second later—
"Pfft… hahahahaha! Hahahahahahaha!"
Aha suddenly clutched his stomach and burst into wild laughter.
"Love! Is! Infinite! Hahahaha! Incredible! Truly incredible!"
He slapped his thigh while pointing at Kallen.
"A villain is about to commit an unprecedented cosmic crime in front of the entire universe, one that might even destroy the galaxy…"
"And your driving motivation is a line so clichéd even a third-rate romance novel would reject it?!"
"Wonderful, little Kallen. You're truly wonderful! This is the pinnacle of Elation! If Akivili were still alive, hearing that line would probably make them laugh so hard they'd flip the Astral Express's roof over!"
"Why don't you just stop playing around with Nihility or Preservation and join us Elation instead?"
"I guarantee I'll make you an Emanator and let you become the strongest Emanator of Elation."
Faced with Aha's crazed laughter, Kallen's expression did not change in the slightest.
Accept Aha's invitation and become an Emanator of Elation?
To be honest, that proposal was way too lame at this point.
It had been one thing when Aha invited Mobius before. At the time, she had no special plans for the Mobius persona, so joining Elation to borrow a buff or two was not out of the question.
But now?
Now everything was already prepared. She, Kallen, was about to ascend as an absurdly overpowered final boss.
Asking her to join Elation at a time like this was just making trouble.
"Are you done laughing?" Kallen looked coldly at Aha, her tone returning to its usual chill.
"If you are, then get ready to work."
Kallen's attitude was somewhat icy, as if the one standing before her was not an Aeon, but one of her own underlings.
Hearing this, Aha took a deep breath and worked hard to press down the corners of his mouth, which were still rising madly.
"Go on, little Kallen. How do you want to play this? How do you need me to cooperate with this grand century-spanning drama of 'Love Is Infinite'?"
Kallen turned around, placing her back to the Aeon of Preservation, who had already closed his eyes and silently chosen to acquiesce.
"Just like you did last time on the Xianzhou Luofu."
"I want a universal broadcast that covers the entire galaxy, that no faction can cut off, and that no one can refuse to watch."
"I want every living being with eyes to personally witness the arrival of this calamity."
Hearing this, Aha's smile instantly widened into a terrifying arc.
"As you wish, my dear heroine. The curtain of this grand show—shall be raised by me!"
Snap!
Aha snapped his fingers sharply.
At that moment, the entire galaxy seemed to be forcibly twisted by some irresistible power.
Whether it was the already-emptied Pier Point, or the skies above the various Xianzhou ships of the Alliance…
Whether it was the reality of Penacony, or the master control zone of Herta Space Station…
Even those remote star systems and primitive civilizations still using outdated radio waves…
In every sky where life existed, glaring static flashed at the same time.
Immediately afterward, one crystal-clear image after another was forcibly projected into the vision of every person in the galaxy.
"…What is going on?!"
Inside Herta Space Station, Herta, who had been preparing to settle Mobius, abruptly raised her head. Her purple eyes stared fixedly at the enormous screen that had suddenly unfolded in midair.
Beside her, Jing Yuan and Yaoguang also stopped moving instantly. The aura of the Hunt around both of them instinctively tensed.
And in the image, the one who appeared was none other than Kallen.
At this moment, Aha had already disappeared.
She stood alone within a subspace made entirely of pure amber.
Behind her, although only a corner of it was visible, that iconic colossal silhouette, along with its universe-crushing weight, immediately made the entire galaxy draw in a breath of cold air.
"That… that is…"
On the ships evacuating from Pier Point, the IPC executives watched the screen in terror, their voices trembling.
"That is the Amber Lord? The Witch of Nihility actually dared to go find the Amber Lord?"
"Why has Lord Amber not punished her? Why?!"
After sensing the shock spreading across the galaxy, Kallen felt considerably satisfied.
Compared to the technological livestreams used by the IPC, Aha's Path was clearly much more direct.
The last time she had appeared before the entire galaxy, she had also broadcast from this subspace.
Only, that time, she had needed to deliberately find a suitable angle for the camera.
This time was different. With Aha's help, Kallen's cold and severe face was now appearing before everyone without reservation.
And clearly, after the IPC's previous livestream, as well as Aha's exposure of events on the Luofu, almost everyone in the galaxy now recognized the girl in the image.
Kallen Kaslana.
Emanator of Preservation.
Witch of Nihility.
A terrifying existence who posed an absolute threat to the entire galaxy.
Unlike previous displays on a screen, this broadcast, seemingly under Aha's deliberate control, made everyone feel as though they were there in person. They could all sense the abyss-like aura emanating from Kallen.
Paired with those eyes, cold to the extreme, most people could not help inhaling sharply at this moment.
Evil, dangerous, extreme, tyrannical.
All sorts of labels surfaced in people's minds.
And naturally, Kallen had not opened this broadcast merely to show her face.
On the screen, Kallen slowly raised her head.
"Good morning, beings of the galaxy."
"I am Kallen Kaslana. As you can see, I am the Witch of Nihility wanted by both the IPC and the Xianzhou Alliance."
"Today, you may feel surprised by my appearance. Or perhaps you may think I have some conspiracy in mind."
"However, the first thing I have come here to do today is prove my innocence!"
Kallen's expression suddenly became solemn.
"What Witch of Nihility? I do not accept this title!"
In an instant, everyone in the galaxy froze.
They seemed unable to react to this development.
What did this mean? What was this witch trying to do?
Kallen slowly spread her arms, and gray-black fog began surging wildly around her.
"I am no villain. I am a righteous hero. Everything I have done was for the welfare of all under heaven."
"From ancient times until now, Qlipoth, the Aeon of Preservation, has used the name of Preservation to build walls and seal off the entire galaxy. His sins are unforgivable!"
"And I, disregarding my own life and safety, enduring countless hardships and dangers, finally made my decision not long ago and took the first step. That is right. I will destroy the fate by which Preservation has sealed the galaxy and grant true freedom to all people!"
"However, even though I carry great love in my heart, I have still suffered suppression and obstruction from corrupt powers such as the IPC and the Xianzhou Alliance!"
"And their slanders against me are something I cannot accept!"
Kallen put on a heartbroken expression.
"General Red Kite and I were the closest of friends. Back then, during the incident of Yuanqiao, she and I hit it off at once and spoke happily together."
"Clearly, we were both people of great love, dedicated to restoring freedom and peace to the galaxy."
"Unfortunately, times have changed, and my dear friend has long since passed from this world."
"And everyone must absolutely not believe the rumors. General Red Kite was not killed by me. She was killed by the collusion of the IPC and the Xianzhou Alliance."
The moment those words came out, the entire universe erupted.
Herta Space Station, Penacony, the IPC, the Xianzhou Alliance, The Family…
Countless people from countless worlds now looked as though they had just hallucinated.
But Kallen did not stop. She continued speaking.
"Let the world remember this: I, Kallen Kaslana, am the Saintess of Preservation! From this moment onward, I shall complete the salvation of the entire galaxy, break Preservation, and bring blessings to the world!"
This message rapidly spread through Aha's projection, and all under heaven knew it in an instant.
But Kallen was not finished. She was still righteously continuing her speech.
She waved her hand, and the power of Nihility instantly surrounded the entire subspace.
However, that was not all.
Through the wall of Preservation spread across the entire galaxy, Kallen's Nihility instantly enveloped the whole galaxy.
Although the words sounded somewhat hollow, there was no doubt.
At this very moment, the entire galaxy had fallen into the Nihility under Kallen's control.
And the Amber Lord's wall, which had been forged across countless Amber Eras to preserve the galaxy, had now become Kallen's bridal garment.
Kallen continued.
"Today, I shall use the power of Nihility to break these shackles and return a peaceful, prosperous age to you all!"
"Of course, I understand very well that evil powers such as the IPC and the Xianzhou Alliance still exist in great numbers throughout this galaxy."
"I know those villains will certainly come to stop my great undertaking. They may even be despicable enough to threaten me with the safety of every living being in the galaxy in order to stop me!"
"Therefore, to protect everyone in the galaxy, I, Kallen Kaslana, shall play a game with you villains."
"A survival game known as Nihility Culling, where the dead return to reality."
Kallen's words exploded beside everyone's ears like thunder.
The dead?
Returning to reality?
Everyone held their breath, waiting for Kallen to continue.
"Next, I shall awaken those heroic spirits who once left great deeds and legends in history."
"These heroic spirits all fought to protect the common people when they lived. Even after death, their obsessions have not faded."
Kallen's voice echoed in every corner of the galaxy.
"I shall grant them a second life and let them take up arms once more for the beauty of this world."
She raised her right hand, and gray-black fog gathered in her palm.
"And as for those villains who claim to be righteous while committing filthy deeds… If you truly wish to protect the peace of the galaxy, if you truly believe yourselves to be correct…"
Kallen's gaze turned icy, and the corners of her lips curved into a cold arc.
"Then come and defeat them."
"Come and defeat these heroic spirits who once protected the galaxy, and who are still willing to fight for the galaxy now."
"This is Nihility Culling. If you cannot do it…"
She paused, and her voice abruptly deepened.
"Then shut your mouths and watch how I save this rotten world."
Mad.
At this moment, every person in the galaxy had only one thought.
This woman had completely gone mad. Was she some kind of lunatic?!
What was this supposed to be? Was she treating all the powerful people in the universe like insects in a jar and forcing them to kill one another?
However, Kallen gave no one time to process this information.
"Then, let the game begin."
"Everyone, come meet your old friends."
Kallen suddenly raised her right hand.
In an instant, a black vortex appeared nearby.
A shrill roar unlike anything human came from within.
The first thing to emerge was a tree.
The tree's roots extended from the vortex, each root as thick as a starship.
Likewise, on this tree, countless faces hung densely from its branches.
"That is…"
Inside Herta Space Station, Jing Yuan's voice was grave.
Without a doubt, the figure before them was Shuhu, who had officially been slain by Mobius not long ago.
The Thousand-Faced Strange Tree.
An Emanator of Abundance.
Shuhu.
Kallen had actually forcibly condensed its flesh in the form of an undead!
However, before everyone could recover from that immense terror, an ear-piercing mechanical roar came from the vortex.
A being who was clearly flesh and blood, yet looked like a mechanical tyrant wearing a crown, slowly stepped out.
That was the emperor of the Intellitrons, a terrifying existence who had once unleashed a mechanical frenzy across the entire universe.
"Rubert II?!"
Immediately afterward, a third figure descended along with a heat great enough to burn stars to ash.
It was a violent form composed purely of the desire for destruction. Its whole body burned with antimatter flames, but at the heart of those flames was a deathly dark gray.
Lord Ravager Zulo!
An Emanator of Abundance.
An Intellitron Emperor.
A Lord Ravager.
Any one of those three titles, taken alone, had once represented a calamity that made the galaxy tremble.
And now, Kallen had actually dragged them back into the world at the same time and called them heroic spirits who had protected the common people and left great deeds and legends in history?
You call these people heroic spirits?!
Despair and speechlessness spread through the entire galaxy like a plague.
But Kallen's movements did not stop.
Within her icy eyes, an extremely sickly cruelty even flashed.
"Still not enough," Kallen murmured softly.
"Now that I am about to complete the salvation of the entire galaxy, how could my beloved friend and dearest companion be absent?"
Kallen suddenly clasped her hands together.
This time, no stinking flesh came from the vortex, nor cold machinery, nor raging flames.
Instead, a single feather drifted down from within.
A feather burning with scarlet flame, yet tainted at its edges by black deathly energy.
On the screen—
A cold, aloof figure dressed in the Xianzhou's traditional military uniform slowly walked out from the vortex of Nihility.
Her appearance was as coldly beautiful and resolute as before.
But those eyes, once as bright as blazing fire, were now as empty as dead ash.
Her body appeared as a semi-transparent undead form, and the scarlet longsword in her hand burned with gray flames of death.
She stood there quietly, like a soulless marionette, yet emitted a terrifying pressure that made every Xianzhou native unable to breathe.
In that instant, the entire Xianzhou Alliance fell into dead silence.
Because everyone recognized that figure.
Before the arrival of the Enigmata, she was the hero who had stood guard against Nihility for nearly 600 years for the sake of the entire galaxy.
She was one of the most dazzling generals in the history of the Xianzhou Alliance.
And likewise, she was the strongest undead Kallen had once buried with her own hands.
She was General Red Kite of the Xianzhou Yuanqiao.
Fu Hua.
"Now then…"
Kallen stood at the very front of the four great undead, watching the entire universe sink into silent despair and fury. At last, an utterly crazed smile appeared on her lips.
"Struggle with everything you have, villains."
"For the selfish desires in your hearts, come and kill them."
"And come…"
"Kill me as well."
