Chapter 59 The fateful battle is over
During that long and arduous battle, Mephisto's state of mind was like a candle swaying in the wind and rain, gradually going out.
Every spark of confrontation with Nexus seemed to carve an indelible scar in his heart.
The current situation was like a heavy mountain, clearly and ruthlessly pressing on his heart. Compared to Nexus, who was like a dazzling star, Mephisto's fighting power seemed dim and dull. Every blow seemed to hit an invisible barrier, futile and powerless.
This was no longer a fair duel, but gradually evolved into a one-sided, brutal crushing, and the balance of victory had already been seriously tilted.
The ongoing battle is like being trapped in a desperate cycle, and the end of each round heralds the beginning of a new round of frustration.
The fighting spirit that once burned in Mephistopheles' heart has been replaced by endless fatigue and helplessness. There seems to be no light ahead, only darkness and the unknown.
It is almost foreseeable that the final chapter of this battle will be Mephisto's humiliating defeat.
He had planned and schemed countless times, and every move he had carefully designed seemed so fragile in the face of Nexus' irresistible power that it was about to vanish into nothing.
Could it be that all his ambitions and efforts would be completely overturned and shattered like bubbles by a battle?
Lin Chen, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, witnessed all this with mixed emotions in his heart.
For Mephistopheles, his fate as a puppet seemed to have been written from the beginning to the end, dooming him to a tragic end.
Even if Lin Chen had not intervened this time, the tide of history would have pushed him to the same end - defeat at the hands of Nexus, or barely maintaining an awkward balance of neither winning nor losing.
But no matter which one, it cannot change the cold reality - Mephisto's defeat seems to have been arranged by fate and is irreversible.
Naturally, in addition to expressing his feelings, Lin Chen was filled with joy that he could not hide.
These negative emotions, like streams flowing into rivers and seas, rushed into his body and brought him an indescribable sense of fulfillment.
Every emotion, whether it is despair, anger or sadness, turns into nutrients that nourish his strength, allowing him to thrive invisibly.
After absorbing this surging negative energy like a tide, the power within Lin Chen's clone increased significantly, like a long-dormant beast awakening, with unprecedented surging power surging in its body.
Thinking back to the transaction with Ji Yajun, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
It was not just a simple exchange, but also a turning point that led him onto a broader path.
He knew that cooperating with Himeya Jun was a wise move, which not only deepened their bond, but also paved the way for subsequent actions. He secretly decided that when the smoke of this battle cleared, he would fulfill Himeya Jun's wish and let him accompany Sera, away from war and turmoil, and enjoy the hard-earned tranquility and peace.
As for the "Nexus" that carries hope and power, Lin Chen has already made a plan in his mind.
He planned to pass it on to another fit person - Qian Shulian.
Lian, also bearing the name of "Nexus", also has a rough fate. As the son of Prometheus, his life seems to be a cruel joke played by fate, short and fragile.
In his flowing blood, there is a fatal shackle hidden - a genetic defect, like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head, constantly reminding him of the countdown of his life. If he does not find a solution to repair the crack in his genes, Qian Shulian may have to spend the rest of his life racing against time, and every day may be his last day.
Lin Chen was silently calculating in his mind, and every thought was like small streams converging into rivers, ultimately leading to the predetermined goal - to reach an unusual deal with Qian Shulian.
This was not out of Lin Chen's sudden compassion. In his world, every move had to be carefully considered and planned.
His real target is Dark Zagi, the most powerful dark being in the universe.
The negative emotions hidden in the body of this dark lord are as vast as the ocean. Anger, sadness, fear... all kinds of emotions are intertwined and entangled, forming a huge and chaotic emotional vortex, waiting to be excavated and utilized by knowledgeable people.
Lin Chen knew very well that if he could cleverly uncover a corner of Dark Zaki's emotional abyss and draw out even a small portion of the negative energy, the total amount would far exceed what could be drawn by directly guiding the entire universe to the brink of destruction.
This is a gamble, but for Lin Chen, the chances of winning always seem to be within his careful calculations.
The deeper plan also includes a bold and provocative move - to "invite" all the fittest people of Nexus, the stars of hope of the Warriors of Light, to his own camp one by one.
This action was undoubtedly a direct challenge to Noah, one of the most powerful beings in the legend, and was intended to shake his indestructible psychological defenses and make the guardian of the universe feel frustrated and uneasy for the first time.
Just as Lin Chen was immersed in the abyss of his own thoughts, time in the outside world did not stop for a moment.
That heart-wrenching contest had quietly come to an end without him noticing.
Nexus and Mephistopheles, two fateful opponents, their battle is like the contest between gods in ancient legends, thrilling and shocking to the world.
Although Mephistopheles tried his best to resist with his cunning and strength, it all seemed insignificant in front of Nexus in his prime.
A powerful force from ancient times surges in Nexus' body, like a gathering of stars, shining brightly.
His fists became the focus of the battle. All the dazzling light seemed to be pulled by an invisible will, condensed and compressed until saturation, and finally transformed into an extremely bright beam of light.
Nexus' figure suddenly accelerated at this moment, turning into a burning red glow, like a meteor across the night sky, rushing straight towards Mephisto with unstoppable determination and destructive power.
Mephisto saw the approaching thunderbolt and was not willing to be outdone. He quickly mobilized his own maximum strength and weaved a huge protective light ball in front of him. The light was so bright that it almost covered all the colors around it, like a small sun, trying to use it to resist the impending devastating blow.
Nexus gathered all his strength and punched with the momentum to destroy everything, easily penetrating Mephisto's seemingly indestructible barrier. The moment the two collided, the space seemed to tremble.
Immediately afterwards, a soul-shaking explosion erupted. The flames released by the explosion raged like a tornado, engulfing everything around it. The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire sky.
In the midst of the raging flames and shock waves, the figures of Nexus and Mephisto gradually became blurred, as if they were swallowed up by an endless sea of fire. Everything returned to nothingness, leaving only dust and embers in the sky, quietly telling of the cruelty and grandeur of the battle.
Behind this seemingly ending scene, only Lin Chen understood the truth - it was not the swan song of life, but a sign that the battle had come to an end.
