With the destruction of the Juggernaut's core, earthquakes have occurred in many playgrounds.

All the replicas shook incessantly, both on the ground and in the sea, and even in the air the playground was thrown into violent tremors.

With such commotion, even the sky appeared to change.

Like a crack in a glass window, the sky over the playground is also cracked in a big Little Xiao pattern, with a growing number of holes, giving it an apocalyptic look.

The successive changes made some of the players feel alarmed.

They knew nothing of the actions of Xiao Lan's men, had no idea what was going on and thought there had been some unexpected change in the game.

The players who broke into the playground with Xiao Lan were bright-eyed.

They knew that progress must have been made on their side and that they had once again managed to shake up the Advent world!

A wave of confidence angry from the heart, they fought with more vigour.

Xiao Lan had just said goodbye to her father when the image in front of her suddenly shattered.

A white mist poured out of a gap in the world and took over almost in mere moments.

In the next second, Xiao Lan had returned to the white space she had left earlier.

The board is still the same underfoot, but now without the pieces lined up on either side and the black squares.

The only people on the board are the Juggernaut, standing still in front of him, and Xiao Lan, who has just stepped in.

It was as if they were the final pawns facing each other throughout the game.

The juggernaut still had that expressionless look on his face.

For once, he finally looked Xiao Lan fully square in the eye, his pale gold eyes devoid of emotion: "It was you who destroyed my core?"

Xiao Lan: "You're surprised?"

The Juggernaut nodded, "As things stand, this is by far the most effective way to weaken me. Although he was the one who led you on, you actually managed to pull it off; as a human, you do surprise me."

"But, it also shows that you are an unstable element and it's better to get rid of it."

Xiao Lan: "What is stability for you? To be completely subservient to you, to be controlled by you? To die unresistingly in your plans? Have you ever thought that you yourself are the biggest destabilizing factor in the whole world?"

The Juggernaut's tone was unruffled: "The strong can decide everything for the weak, and those who are sacrificed will always be resentful, I can understand that."

Xiao Lan clenched his fist: "Looking down from on high, you can't understand anything at all, you just exterminate everything that doesn't suit your fancy, including your brothers."

Juggernaut: "He? We are not brothers like you humans, he is just a remnant that came into existence at the same time as me."

Xiao Lan stared at his unreadable face, "But you've been bothered by the so-called scraps, haven't you?"

"Stealing his core, tearing his soul apart, imprisoning his power, trying not to leave him any chance of recovery, hasn't your scorn for him shown clearly enough?"

The Juggernaut looked calmly at Xiao Lan, without speaking or retorting.

Xiao Lan stepped forward: "Does the fact that you are talking so much to me mean that you have not been able to fully devour him at all? Now you need to use most of your power to suppress his resistance. You, there's no way to do it like you did before, is there?"

"Indeed." The Sovereign graciously admitted, without the slightest hint of bravado, "The devouring process is not over, so I have no time to strike at you."

"His will to rebel is strong and has been preventing me from finding you, so perhaps you need to wait while I devour this rebel before I can be free to deal with you. And this time, you won't have the same good fortune as last time."

Having said that, the master reached out his hand and gently clapped his palm.

As he does so, a vizier appears on each square of the board around Xiao Lan.

Armed with weapons such as long swords, machetes, lances and spears, all wearing uniform white armour, they looked like a well-trained army.

All the sequencers turned their weapons in Xiao Lan's direction.

It seems that they were arranged in advance by the master.

In order not to be disturbed at the critical moment of devouring.

"For now, just let them keep you company." The Sovereign said.

Having received the order, the Vikings raised their weapons towards Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan was deep in the white army.

Xiao Lan gripped the [Bone of Disobedience] in his hand with all his might.

He must win.

If they fall here themselves, the players who accompanied them into the Advent world will be besieged by the Vindicators, just like the members of Wu She.

Even if they were strong, they would not be able to carry the constant stream of sequencers that could be transformed from indentured players.

The white legions are closing in on Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan also raised his knife in no uncertain terms.

Although the number of Vikings in front of him was huge, it made no sense that he would lose when he already knew the Vikings' weaknesses.

Xiao Lan has switched on the skill.

[Title: Poverty Can't Limit My Imagination]

[Ability: Disintegration]

His figure lunged at the Viziers.

Although it was only one man and one sword, it was no less than the sea of human beings made up of sequencers in front of him.

Xiao Lan weaves his way through the attacks of the Vikings.

The blade in his hand kept swinging out, each precise thrust through the gap in his helmet and straight into the Bai Guang in it.

This is where the power of the Lord lies and where the Vizier's pivot is located.

As the disintegrating power poured in from the tip of the blade, it continued to eat away at the Bai Guang in the helmet of the Sequencer, who instantly fell to the ground without his power.

Xiao Lan is constantly weaving through a sea of white people, like the Grim Reaper.

Each swing of his blade was accompanied by the fall of a Vizier to the ground.

The sound of weapons clashing one after another, blades breaking through the air, interspersed with the dull sound of falling to the ground, was like an impassioned battle hymn.

The Juggernaut watched the fierce battle unfolding before him, still expressionless, but the air pressure around him was getting lower and lower.

Finally, Xiao Lan reached up and wiped a smear of blood from his lips as he stood still, no longer swinging his sword.

For at the moment he was surrounded only by the remains of the Vizier, their white carcasses covering the ground as if a heavy snow had fallen.

The whole world fell silent again, leaving him and the Master alone.

The Sovereign was still immaculately dressed in his finery, but Xiao Lan's body was covered in wounds and blood from the many battles he had fought, the crimson blood dripping down and leaving its mark on the pure white world.

Xiao Lan raised his eyes to look at the Juggernaut once more, and he raised his blade, pointing it straight at the man in front of him, his tone calm but murderous: "It's your turn."

Having said that, he had no interest in waiting for the master's reply and lunged straight ahead with his sword.

The Juggernaut had to suspend its devouring of Luo in the face of the onslaught of Xiao Lan.

He divided a portion of his power and formed a sword in his hand that emanated a piercing Bai Guang throughout its body.

The sword is composed entirely of light and carries an intricate and delicate structure that looks as splendid as a divine weapon that only a god could possess.

Unfortunately, the one who actually holds it is a fellow who is no different from a demon.

The pitch-black blade and the pure white lightsabre collide viciously.

Blade and sword shadows flew and intertwined, with no one holding back.

They both attacked each other relentlessly, knowing full well in their hearts that this was a fight to the death.

Between them, there is no possibility of reconciliation.

Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Lan swung his blade, fusing Luo's old core with the [Bone of Disobedience] and stabbing the juggernaut in the shoulder.

Instantly, the force that accompanied the disintegration left a deep hole in his shoulder.

There was no blood in the juggernaut's body, and even when it was wounded a mere gash appeared, and no image of any white unidentified liquid splashing about was produced.

Apart from his outer skin, he really bears little structural resemblance to a human.

The Juggernaut forced Xiao Lan back with a backhanded slash, and the lightsaber made a cut on Xiao Lan's cheek.

At the same time, he moved slightly on his feet and pulled away from Xiao Lan for a moment.

The Juggernaut looked at the blade in Xiao Lan's hand, "I thought it strange before, how your blade could possibly harm me when it should be a product of the Advent World. It turns out that he actually gave you his core, what a guy who likes to create trouble."

Xiao Lan didn't bother with him and charged forward again, continuing his attack.

His time is precious and he doesn't have time to listen to the villain's manifesto.

The sharp edges of black and white clash again.

As the exchange of blows continued, the wounds on both bodies became more and more numerous.

But unlike Xiao Lan's flesh and blood body, the Juggernaut's movements are not affected in the slightest by any injury anywhere.

His body is like a piece of machinery that is set up to keep running as long as no critical parts are damaged.

As the Juggernaut fought Xiao Lan, he said, "So what if you have his core, you alone cannot defeat me who have lost it."

"You've only just awakened, you're like a child to me, you know too little about either the use of power or yourself."

"You can feel it too, can't you, how difficult it is to do a lot of damage to me with your disintegrating powers."

"And your body is still the most primitive of flesh and blood, you won't even have time to energise it, and every wound will become a burden to you. You can't outwit me like that, and now you're feeling the strain."

"Why do you talk so much nonsense." Xiao Lan said disdainfully.

But his body's exhaustion was telling him that although his opponent's words sounded indebted, a protracted battle was really not in his favour either.

Xiao Lan once again accelerated the burning of his poverty value to make his skills more effective, even if it would make him rich and poor after this battle.

If we don't win this battle, we won't be able to talk about the future.

The attack of the pitch-black blade was once again furious, this time the disintegrating force coming from the blade was several times stronger, and after several exchanges, even the light blade was notched by his slash.

This made the master feel the pressure.

He had to cut back on the suppression once again and mobilise his forces to deal with the trouble before him first.

A burst of Bai Guang gushed from his palm, and the juggernaut reached out and caressed the sword with it, instantly repairing the gaping hole in the lightsabre cut by Xiao Lan.

At the same time, Xiao Lan sensed a stronger attack from the juggernaut's side.

The ever intensifying attacks were becoming more and more difficult for him to deal with and the wounds on his body continued to grow.

More and more red appears in the white world, these are blood stains from Xiao Lan's body.

A white light sabre came at Xiao Lan's head so violently that he had to raise his sword to fight it.

The moment the blades met, Xiao Lan felt as if he were a small ant fighting against a huge mountain, the juggernaut's power was not as overwhelming as before, but incredibly solid.

The two sides are temporarily at a standstill, but little by little the white blade of light moves closer to Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan fought with all his might and gritted his teeth, without the slightest intention of retreating.

The Juggernaut's cold eyes looked at Xiao Lan, who was close at hand: "You are about to die."

Xiao Lan made a hard sound, "Roll ......"

The Juggernaut was unimpressed by his hardening, and the force in his hands strengthened again, intending to settle the trouble there.

But just then, a look of shock flashed across the expressionless face of the Lord.

It gives his mask-like face a little more vividness.

In the next instant, a pitch-black hand stabbed viciously out of his chest.

The hand is all black, not covered with human skin, and no normal hand structure is visible, and the blackness is unstable, spreading and gathering from time to time, looking a bit hideous, like a demon from the abyss that has answered the call of a mortal.

Xiao Lan's bloodstained face beamed at the sight.

Luo certainly won't be swallowed up so easily.

As Luo pushed Xiao Lan out of the white world, it became vaguely clear to him, out of the tacit understanding of a long collaboration, that their plan would shift from a frontal assault to an inside-out response.

That is why he believed that the path Luo had opened up must be more than just a way for him to escape.

It wasn't until the trail connected all the way to the lava pool that hid the Juggernaut's core that Xiao Lan understood exactly what Luo meant.

Afterwards, Xiao Lan kept pushing into the juggernaut, also so that he would have to relax his hold on Luo under the pressure of the attack, so that Luo could more easily find a way out of his trap.

The person who took the biggest risk in the whole process was Luo.

If Xiao Lan was late in destroying the Juggernaut's core, or if he chose to escape, or if he delayed too long, or even if he was killed by something else midway through.

If any of the unforeseen circumstances were to arise, the end before Luo would be a complete devouring by the juggernaut.

Meanwhile, if Luo is unable to resist the Juggernaut's devouring, Xiao Lan, who faces the Juggernaut alone, is also doomed.

To carry out such a plan requires their complete trust in each other, and no one can hesitate.

Luo gives his trust unreservedly.

Xiao Lan, in turn, has responded perfectly to his trust.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, sir." Luo's voice came out of the juggernaut's wound, still in the tone and tenor most familiar to Xiao Lan, still in a pleasant mood despite not having met.

"No, it's just right." Xiao Lan says.

As he spoke, Xiao Lan took advantage of the Juggernaut's moment of shock to deflect the blade to remove the force of the hard blow, then dodged the Juggernaut's falling blow while slashing hard at the Juggernaut's arm.

The blade flashed and one of the Juggernaut's arms was cut off flush with the shoulder.

The exposed fracture is only snow white, with no bones or muscles visible, as if it were a mannequin made of ceramic.

At the same time, a black mist spread from the wound in the master's chest, gradually infiltrating his pure white body.

"Ahem ......" the juggernaut couldn't help but cough lightly as he looked to his chest, "You guys ......"

Xiao Lan wiped a handful of blood from his face and laughed, "Surprised or not?"

That's the disadvantage of being a single dog, you can't even find help for a fight.

The author has something to say.

Juggernaut: What's the point of fighting, what's the point of showing love!!! (A jio kicks away the hot dog food in front of him)
