In that instant of flashing light, countless possibilities emerged in Rod’s mind, memories flitted through his thoughts, and his past experiences shone brightly in that moment. He keenly noticed that this voice was identical to the one that had twice whispered "beware" in his ear before!

In the next moment, he decisively activated the Soul Altar, the glowing scythe on the back of his hand lit up and stabbed forward with unparalleled skill, plunging into the Human Demon’s Soul Void, just like the millions of times before, grasping the Human Demon’s Soul String.

"Why?" The voice beside him shrieked, "Why don’t you believe me?"

Rod sneered, "You think I’m an idiot? You think I haven’t remembered that during the battle with the Blood God, there was also a voice telling me how to defeat the Blood God? But that voice never made obscure suggestions, whereas you whispered ’beware’ twice without any substantial information... Illusory sounds are all Residual Spirits, and Residual Spirits don’t waste words, idiot, if you hadn’t yelled those two warnings, I would have believed you."

Boom!

A muffled sound from the Void vibrated through the air.

The formidable strength granted by Kai and the Ancient Sun God allowed him to forcibly sever the Human Demon’s Soul String.

A shrill scream echoed simultaneously from the ears and the Human Demon, the illusory voice gradually distorted into a noisy, chaotic din, pushed away by invisible forces, slowly dissipating into the air.

The Book of Knowledge exclaimed joyfully, "Master, we won, we won... Wait, what’s this?"

In Rod’s Soul, the trace of darkness rapidly dissolved, this was the pollution previously planted by the Human Demon, sealing the Spirit Boat.

As it disappeared, the Spirit Boat once again gleamed brightly.

Rod briefly explained the events to the Book of Knowledge.

The Book of Knowledge expressed surprise and joy, "This is a disturbance of reason stemming from corrupting Humanity, it erodes rationality and creates hallucinations. Because it’s born from the depths of your mind, it sharply attacks your vulnerabilities. Most people wouldn’t notice, but the fact that you recognized it and expelled it, that’s truly incredible!"

Rod smiled faintly.

"This illusion was too dumb, it pales in comparison to my incomparable wisdom."

Though he said this, Rod understood that the most crucial point was its flawed reasoning.

Under the blessing of Kai and the Ancient Sun God, his Strength wasn’t much lower than the severely wounded Human Demon, why couldn’t he use "Soul Blast"? [Final Chapter] requires sealing the opponent’s Soul, but with the Human Demon’s Strength, there’s nothing here that can seal it.

Of course, in that instant, he may not have had time to think through all this, and if this opportunity were missed, once the Human Demon recovered, the situation could become uncertain again.

Thus, Rod decisively followed his instincts, delivering a "Soul Blast" that annihilated the Human Demon.

The decision proved to be exceedingly correct; the Human Demon’s Soul String was far more fragile than anticipated, thinner and weaker than the weakest monster, snapping with a single pull, utterly unlike an overwhelmingly terrifying, unkillable entity.

Could it be that the invincible will intervened before dispersing completely?

Rod watched as the Human Demon crumbled in its screams, boiling gloom burst skyward, scattering widely, masses of corrupting Humanity poured out, flowing outward in all directions.

Its Mad Crown melted away like white mist, the mental onslaught ceased, and the Monarchs awoke first, spotting the crumbling Human Demon.

Jelaba shouted incredulously, "We won? Did we win?"

Luo Weiya exclaimed joyously, "Is it Rod brother? Rod brother, along with the Archbishop, killed the Human Demon?"

But Rod sensed something amiss, shouting, "Quick, get away from the Human Demon!"

Countless streams of corrupting Humanity spewed from the Human Demon’s body, forming a small Corruption Lake around it.

Everyone awakened, hurriedly retreating and moving the unconscious warriors to avoid contamination by the corrupting Humanity. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The Corruption Lake rapidly expanded, releasing terrifying twisted breath once more, and the Human Demon’s remnants continued to discharge corrupting Humanity, seemingly endless.

"No way!" Viheler yelled urgently, "Is this foul mess going to explode endlessly with corrupting Humanity, drowning us?"

Rod instantly thought of the Corruption Lake beneath the Human Demon Tomb, considering its size, it’s not impossible.

Is this why the Human Demon is unkillable?

No!

It’s wrong!

Rod quickly noticed, from the Human Demon’s remains, the so-called indestructible Divine Origin Base emerged from the air, under the gaze of the Eye of the Soul, that invisible entity was riddled with massive cracks, merely cloaked by a transparent defense preventing it from shattering.

Rod understood that this was Divine Defense, the outer layer of the Divine Origin Base. It’s the Ancient God’s first barrier; without piercing Divine Defense, the Ancient God cannot be slain, and the Divine Origin Base is the Ancient God’s final defense, used only when everything else is abandoned.

But now, the Ancient God’s ultimate defense was on the brink of destruction.

Undoubtedly, this must have been the invincible will’s handiwork; dispersing the mysterious Ancestor back into the Void, and with a flicker piercing the Human Demon’s final defense, only then did it completely vanish.
