Chapter 1733 Final Chapter: Shore Crossing [78] "Devouring Form".

Chapter 1733 Final Chapter - Crossing the Shore [78] - "Devouring Form".

However, Yi Song shook his head frankly: "I only have the desire to treat any patient."

It is hard to imagine how a human could bring peace of mind to a deity, let alone that Yi Song would be willing to give up his life to come here, simply out of the care of a "doctor" for a "patient," rather than out of a sense of responsibility or love for the world.

Too...pure.

It was so pure it was almost frightening.

Treating everyone in the world as his "patients," Yi Song patiently treats them one by one. He clearly understands that he can't cure all the patients, but he treats each one with utmost care, using methods that seem like love to achieve the best therapeutic effect. Once a patient is cured, no matter how deeply they love him, he immediately withdraws to treat the next one, filling the emptiness in their hearts.

Today, "patients" are gods, just like before.

If a doctor is willing to abandon his physical body to come to a patient who is in danger, should this be considered an extreme sense of responsibility, or a patient who is even more seriously ill?

Taking this opportunity, Su Ming'an grasped Chen Yuhang's hand. At this moment, Chen Yuhang was unable to move, which was equivalent to being defeated. He could activate the key and quickly move the Demon Mother Goddess, who had not yet lost consciousness, out.

“…Su Ming’an.” Chen Yuhang gradually woke up and murmured softly. He looked as if he had developed a high fever due to an infected wound; his face was flushed, his consciousness was blurred, and black energy was leaking from his abdomen.

"Awake?" Su Ming'an pressed his hand down. "Don't worry, go back to sleep. You've done a great job. I'll take care of getting you to a safe place."

Chen Yuhang was the last person who should have been involved in these events. He wasn't a Rovasa person, nor a player, and had no responsibility to either world, yet he had obtained the most crucial key. Whether out of guilt towards Wang Xingkong or to protect ordinary people, Su Ming'an would do his best to protect Chen Yuhang.

"Brother Wang... how is Brother Wang?" Chen Yuhang still insisted, asking in a daze.

“He was outside the door and just sent me a message, which is why I was able to come and meet you,” Su Ming’an replied.

"It's good that you're alright, Brother Wang..." Chen Yuhang was delirious, his forehead was burning hot, and he quickly fell asleep.

"Shh-!"

The key emitted a dazzling light and gradually rose into the air, the dark seal gradually loosened, and the legendary Mother Goddess was about to break free.

The defeat of the three Rin clansmen became a key; Hui Chi and others' millennia-long vigil transformed into a holy sword; thirteen rounds of games led Su Ming'an to this place; Lu used his authority to break the curtain of the Dream Lord; Violet and her group risked their lives to escort him... This path was extremely difficult, and finally, they arrived at the final moment.

"Whoosh—!" A bright white light shone through.

Su Ming'an, Si Nian, Violet, and Yi Song slowly raised their heads, gazing at the approaching dawn.

A shimmering white crack appeared in the sky, vaguely revealing the outline of the outside world.

……

[Progress on the Road to "?": 80%]

……

The comments section erupted in a frenzy:

It's done! It's almost done!!!

【finally!】

[It was so difficult, it made my heart race...]

I held my breath the whole way here, and only now do I dare to catch my breath.

So many people died, and finally He was awakened...

Seeing Ashley nearly die made my heart skip a beat; seeing Alger suddenly attack Su Ming'an in his wheelchair made my heart skip a beat; seeing Hui Chi kill Hui Bi made me almost jump out of my skin; seeing Lin Yi, Mo Yan, Alger, and Perlo in the thirteen rounds of the game… and finally seeing the Lord of Dreams pull them into a new game with a curtain, I almost went crazy! It was finally resolved, but it wasn't over yet, and the Eighth Seat took the opportunity to make his move again, it scared me to death!!!

Who can understand the tumultuous events of those few hours?

Am I the only one who remained calm throughout? Because I knew Su Ming'an would definitely win.

How's the situation outside? Is Yamada-nii alright?

[Wang Xingkong and Chen Yuhang are truly the two most unique people in this group. They should have no connection to any worldly responsibilities, yet now one is outside and the other inside, both key figures. They're really amazing.]

[Can ordinary people really save the world?]

……

The white light grew larger and larger, and a crack gradually appeared in the sky.

Su Ming'an knew, of course, that the Demon Mother Goddess wasn't his ally. Demons had no order or morality, and even if he helped release her, she wouldn't be grateful. But as long as she was out, her very existence would be a check on the Radiant Mother Goddess.

Therefore, breaking the seal is enough.

Taking this opportunity, Si Nian suddenly leaned close to Su Ming'an and asked, "I'm afraid it will be too late if He goes out. I would like to ask you to help me ask why my attempt to revive Chun Tang was ineffective after I exchanged for the 'Right to Resurrect'?"

Su Ming'an looked up and asked the Demon Mother Goddess this question directly.

Upon hearing this, the Demon Mother Goddess trembled violently.

Under the red wolf's bewildered yet expectant gaze,

Before the man's trembling scars,

The Demon Mother Goddess smiled and revealed the answer—

(Chuntang? I did a search, and Rovasa never existed.)

……

A beam of white light tore through the crack, illuminating the area where the group stood in crystal clarity. Like the first rays of dawn breaking, it pierced the eternal darkness of the source point.

“Never existed, yes, what is it?” Si Nian stammered, not daring to look directly at the god.

Su Ming'an stood at the forefront, the key in his hand burning hot, radiating intense light. The seal was crumbling at an alarming rate; the immense power of the Demon Mother Goddess, imprisoned for countless years, surged forth like a volcano about to awaken.

An almost solemn silence filled the air, broken only by the buzzing of the key and the "click" sound as if the barriers between the world were being torn apart.

The hearts of all the viewers were in their throats.

[They've gone out!]

[I'm going home! I'm going home!]

[Su Ming'an—We're going to win!!]

Please, don't make promises you can't keep!

……

The crack expanded to a size large enough for several people to pass through, revealing a distorted yet familiar scene outside—the vibrant colors unique to the world of Rovasa.

"Brother Wang..." Chen Yuhang murmured, his mind still hazy. The journey had been so long and arduous; finally, he could go home...

"Shh!"

The shimmering white crack suddenly contracted!

Like a gaping maw suddenly closing, the white light vanished abruptly. A thick darkness, like ink, instantly engulfed everyone.

Immediately afterwards—

"Click".

The key in Su Ming'an's hand suddenly shattered and opened.

Like a gemstone suddenly shattering in the palm of your hand, fragments exploded in all directions, and the shimmering surface instantly turned a dull gray, revealing the stone inside.

……Fake?

Su Ming'an stared at the broken stone chips in his palm.

There's no doubt the key hasn't been replaced; its information comes from Su Lin, and Su Lin wouldn't lie. Therefore, its breakage and ineffectiveness mean...

"Could it be... that He has already broken the seal!?" Violet exclaimed, her face filled with shock.

Was the Demon Mother's anger and helplessness when the Eighth Seat invaded Him just an act, a way to lower her guard? So, when Yi Song seemed to have appeased Him, He was actually not injured at all?

"Crack-!"

People had no time to react. The instant the key shattered, darkness, like ink, engulfed everyone's vision and completely enveloped them!

The Demon Mother Goddess instantly transformed into an indescribably enormous form, with millions of eye-covered tentacles surging forth like a giant beast pouncing to hunt, aimed directly at Su Ming'an!

“He…” His target has always been Su Ming’an! Violet wanted to shout it out, but everything happened too fast, and she was even a step too slow to open her mouth.

The viewers in the live chat hadn't even reacted yet, still immersed in the atmosphere of excited shouts, the screen filled with excitement and awe. People were stunned; who could have imagined that the mighty Mother Goddess was so cunning, feigning weakness and resorting to such treacherous schemes despite possessing overwhelming power?

It's like a golden, soft loaf of bread; anyone who sees it will want to take a bite. Everything Su Ming'an has now is too tempting. His growth rate is too fast, and his potential is too strong, attracting countless covetous eyes.

【It’s over! 】

Holy crap!

[It's numb!!!]

The barrage of comments arrived a little late, creating a noticeable vacuum. Some people were so frightened that they jumped up from in front of their screens. This sudden change was no less shocking than a face-slapping moment, making people tremble all over.

If people outside the screen feel this way, those inside the screen must be even more completely blank-minded.

Before they could even blink—the thick fog swallowed everything.

The Demon Mother Goddess's attack was like thunder; one moment she was barely breathing in Yi Song's arms, and the next she engulfed Su Ming'an's body.

At the edge of the thick fog, a pair of inhuman, crimson eyes opened, like those of a ferocious beast. It stared intently at him, seemingly anticipating his reaction, like a hunter who has long awaited the panic and fear of his prey stepping into a trap.

A "devil's hand," covered in jet-black scales, emerged from the void of the mirror. Its cold, hard claws dug into Su Ming'an's wrists and ankles. Purple-black thorns sprouted wildly from the points of contact, turning clothing gray and white wherever they passed, and the veins beneath the skin glowed an ominous dark purple, as if life force was being rapidly frozen. Its posture was like that of a collector who had finally grasped a long-coveted treasure.

"Hehe..." Deep within the thick fog, those giant, crimson eyes narrowed with pleasure, and an inhuman voice rubbed against the soul, carrying a sticky, drooling tone.

However, when He looked at him, Su Ming'an's dark eyes remained calm.

“Your target was me from the beginning.” He stared at the crimson eyes and black mist before him and grasped its tentacles.

Isabelle noticed that he was completely unfazed, as if he had expected this turn of events.

“The moment I heard ‘killing three Rin clan members will grant you the key,’ I had my doubts.” Su Ming’an tossed his tentacles, his posture relaxed, as if he were not in any danger. “After all, what does your seal have to do with the Rin clan? Why would you risk their lives? Later, I considered various possibilities along this line of logic and determined that your true target was me—spreading the message that ‘killing three Rin clan members will grant you the key’ was to lure the final victor to your door with the key to awaken you. Your goal is not the key, but the person with the key. You know very well that the final Rin clan victor will be me. As for you leaving here, you don’t need the key at all.”

“I have always been wary of this method, which is why I have never trusted overly clear clues.”

"Isabelle, are you panicking now?"

Those blood-red eyes were churning.

Su Ming'an was right. He had long coveted him. The first time He saw Su Ming'an in Rovasa, He had the desire to devour him. However, His true form was dormant at the Source Point, so He suppressed the urge and did not act on it. He had also tried to entice Yi Song to bring Su Ming'an over several times, but Yi Song pretended not to hear.

Faced with the composed Su Ming'an, Isabelle felt a sense of crisis. Considering his extremely threatening "devouring" authority, her tentacles immediately extended and grabbed Chen Yuhang and the others.

Since this turn of events was entirely within Su Ming'an's expectations, he at least possessed a trump card that allowed him to face the current Demon Mother Goddess without fear. Isabelle, a manipulator of hearts and minds, certainly knew what Su Ming'an feared most. As long as she threatened him with his companions, he couldn't remain unmoved. Chen Yuhang, Si Nian, Violet… these people were as weak as chicks in her eyes, easily crushed. Su Ming'an would inevitably be concerned about his companions and hesitate to act rashly.

The tentacles extended, grabbing the unconscious Chen Yuhang and pulling him close, intending to threaten him...

"Isabelle".

He heard his voice as if he were not challenging the gods, but discussing today's dinner.

"—I extend a towering invitation to you."

……

"Shh!"

A deep blue barrier instantly rose, its enforceable rules defying even the Mother Goddess. The tentacles immediately released Chen Yuhang and the others, forcing them to retreat into Su Ming'an's dueling domain.

From a high altitude, this dark, sticky, slumbering land is covered by a huge shroud of light, completely enveloping the unimaginably enormous body of the Demon Mother Goddess, like a bowl lid covering a black octopus.

"laugh--!"

The devilish hands wrapped around Su Ming'an's limbs suddenly emitted a sizzling sound like hot oil being poured onto ice and snow, as if a giant beast was sweetly licking it.

In the Demon Mother Goddess's crimson eyes, astonishment replaced pleasure; she no longer had the desire to toy with her prey and immediately took action.

(Humans!)

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz—!"

In the void, countless blurry and distorted mirrors appeared out of thin air, instantly forming a terrifying, layered sphere. Within each mirror, countless dark hands eagerly reached out!

"Grab him!" came a cacophony of shrill screams from the mirror.

Hundreds upon hundreds of black hands, from every angle and direction, simultaneously grabbed at Su Ming'an in the center! In an instant, the purplish-black light exploded like a supernova, and the concept of "death" was materialized, enough to annihilate any being below the god level in an instant, leaving not even a trace of their soul.

Violet and the others were isolated outside the domain, watching helplessly as the all-consuming purplish-black light engulfed the spot where Su Ming'an had been standing, their hearts nearly stopping.

As the myriad black hands touched his body, the purplish-black light surged to its peak—

"boom--!"

Su Ming'an's frail human form suddenly transformed!

A gigantic maw suddenly rose from its body, swallowing everything in all directions!
