Chapter 265: 265. Others have arrived
"You..."
Rosaline was so shocked that she couldn't utter a single word. One moment, Merlin was preparing his black hole technique, and the next, almost everything on the planet was destroyed. Don't miss out on m-vl-em-pyr
All she could see now was a red sky filled with countless black particles floating around.
It was an amazing sight, yet in this moment, all it brought was calamity.
"I guess they're lucky..."
She turned to look at the side where the guests, including the emperor, were watching everything.
At that moment, hundreds of different flowers could be seen enveloping a region at the corner of the palace.
This was the defense Rosaline had put up at the last possible moment before everything turned red. Otherwise, like everyone else on the planet, they would have also turned to ashes.
She looked around and saw Kane. He appeared fine, but a serious expression hung on his face as he looked somewhere far in the sky.
"They have arrived," Kane muttered, his eyes locked on something in the distance.
Rosaline nodded. She had already felt the presence of strong beings approaching the planet's atmosphere, and some were even stronger than her.
"So many lives were lost even with us here," she muttered to herself, blaming herself for the devastation.
Kane looked at his home planet, now nothing more than a scene of annihilation. All he could see was black dust particles and flat land. Everything on the planet, where life had once flourished, was destroyed and exterminated into nothingness.
All the people—all the guests who had come for the emperor's birthday and were waiting for the tournament to start—were now gone.
The dome around the palace was also destroyed, and those living in the outer cities beyond the dome weren't spared either.
Almost half of the planet had been turned into flat land.
Kane sighed at the scene. "That stupid Merlin must have used Absolute Void at the last possible moment. Absolute Space alone was enough to destroy everything here, but that guy had to use Absolute Void."
"What about the clone and Orion?" Rosaline asked as she looked around.
"They must be fine. At least Orion should be, since he would be in his intangible form, but for the clone, I have doubts," Kane said after assessing the situation.
At the moment, everything around them was dust and black particles gathering here and there, so they couldn't see the outcome, but they could still sense two presences nearby.
Rosaline nodded. "That clone took a direct hit from Merlin's Absolute Void, so it's hard to say if he survived."
"What happened here?"
At that moment, a voice sounded above them, and five individuals appeared in the sky.
Two were females, and three were males. They all seemed to be in their thirties and looked very refined and confident, but at the moment, all of them had ugly expressions on their faces as they took in the planet's devastation.
"Merlin used Absolute Void here," Rosaline said before briefly informing them of the events that led to this disaster.
"Interesting," a woman with golden hair and golden armor commented after hearing Rosaline's story. "So, you're saying all this happened because of a 16-year-old kid?"
Rosaline nodded with a helpless expression. Even she found it hard to believe when she thought about it carefully.
"A kid with so many talents and also an absolute intangibility ability, whose clone has sentience, left Null Void, and came to this world with almost infinite energy and divine-level combat strength at silver rank. Is that it, or am I missing something?" A man in a red robe with red hair and a beard, with a triangular-shaped face, asked for confirmation.
Rosaline nodded with a bitter smile.
"If I hadn't heard it from you, I would have dismissed it as nothing but fantasy," the red-haired man said, shock evident on his face.
"You two are useless. Rosaline, I at least didn't expect this from you. Even with you here, so many people ended up dead," remarked a man with dark blue hair, a long face, and a sly expression.
"Armin, don't talk if you don't know the situation," Rosaline immediately replied, her expression filled with disgust.
Armin sneered, "I'm just stating the facts."
"Stop it, you two. This isn't the place for your bickering," the last man said solemnly. He had black hair down to his shoulders and appeared quite tall and heavily built.
He then turned to a woman with gray hair and said, "Suzan, do it."
The lady named Suzan had gray hair, a beautiful face, and was the shortest of the group. She wore a green outfit.
"Yes, Morkel, as you say." Suzan smiled cutely, like a little child, and waved her hands lightly.
Winds raged with the command of her hands, and the dust surrounding the area was blown away, revealing a scene that shocked everyone who looked on.
They saw Merlin standing in a crater, barely holding on. His clothes were torn, his face was blackened with dust and dirt, and his legs were trembling as he struggled to stand.
But his full attention was elsewhere. He was looking at the opposite end of the crater, where a gray-colored 16-year-old stood with a smile on his face. There were no injuries, no signs of fatigue—nothing. He appeared as fine as ever.
"Merlin, no one can save you today," Grey Orion said as he walked towards him slowly, step by step. "Remember what I said earlier? Not only will I kill you, but I will also kill Luna again after she fully revives, and I'll go after your bedridden daughter.
I will kill her mercilessly—all because you chose, once again, to kill me—kill Orion—when a peaceful ending could have been possible for both of us."
"You—you are a monster!" Merlin uttered in a trembling voice.
"I'm a monster?" Grey Orion laughed. "That's the most ironic thing I've heard tonight."
He looked at Merlin with a mocking expression and asked, "Have you forgotten so soon about the people you just killed? You exterminated an entire planet, and yet you have the gall to call me a monster."
