Collapse, how did I become the Devil King of Destruction while playing a game?

"......balanced......"

Not long after, hundreds of beams of light flashed across space, and a magnificent fleet leaped in.

"Dr. Möbius, Legion Commander, we have arrived at the location of the Equilibrium Star God; it awaits us."

On the flagship of the 10th Ouroboros Legion, the Infinite Radiance, the legion's adjutant was reporting to the legion commander and Dr. Mebius on the bridge.

“Like a lab rat that knows its own fate,” Möbius said lazily, looking at the Equilibrium Star God as if he were looking at a lab rat.

"These Star Gods are often quite sensible; though they're called Star Gods, they're still living beings," said the commander of the Ouroboros Legion. "Prepare to activate the 10th Divine Key. It's time to end this farce."

"Yes!" the adjutant replied immediately.

Although Mebius was watching the Ouroboros Legion activate the 10th Divine Key, the Radiant Sword Array, his mind had already shifted to how to study the Star God more deeply.

In an instant, the flagship of the Infinite Radiance Legion launched a thousand longswords of various styles. Each of these longswords was named after a famous sword on Earth, and the names of the swords were all imbued with the legendary aura of many historical figures. Now, they became the names of the thousand swords of the 10th Divine Key.

"Greschwitz always seems to act particularly childish in certain things."

Mebius glanced at the Balanced Star God, who was like a lab rat in an experimental box within the Radiant Sword Array, and recalled the amusing incident that occurred during the redesign of the 10th Divine Key. A slight smile crept onto his lips.

The 10th Divine Key, Radiant Sword Array, sounds out of place with the names of the other Divine Keys, but its abilities and functions encompass those of the other Divine Keys. To put it simply, Radiant Sword Array can control imaginary energy, and destiny energy is essentially imaginary energy. In other words, Radiant Sword Array can ban the destiny energy of a Star God, turning the Star God into an ordinary life form.

Although the Star God is still the Star God, it can no longer mobilize any imaginary energy. Its attack method is the same as that of an ordinary life form—swinging its fist. Since the Star God doesn't need any weapons, without imaginary energy, it can only fight with its fists.

However, since we are in space now, the Balanced Star God in the Radiant Sword Formation is just like an ordinary person who has just been to space. He can only use his hands and feet to move around randomly in the weightless environment, and he is even worse than those who have been trained in space.

"puff"

On the Infinite Radiance, seeing the comical appearance of the Balanced Star God, someone burst out laughing first, and the warriors of the Ouroboros Legion couldn't help but laugh as well. Mebius's gaze also wandered, and he suppressed his laughter.

"Hahahaha, quick, have someone write this down! We must let the entire universe know about the current situation of the Balance Star God!"

"This is so funny, so interesting! I heard the God of Balance always liked to stir up trouble and disrupt balance, how come he's become a comedian now?"

"By the way, we also need to have the Memory Masters of the Flowing Light Memory Court make this side into a light cone. Where are those Memory Masters? Did any of them come along?"

The Memories of the Flowing Light Memory Court were trembling. Since the start of the Universal Expedition, they had been secretly following the various legions, recording and creating light cones related to the 12 Legions of the Galactic Monarch. However, after the Memory Star God and the Mysterious Star God squatted together on the flagship of the Phoenix Guardian Legion, the recent major events had excited these Memories of the Memory Court to the point that they wished they could delete the memories they had seen.

Just like this time, once the comical appearance of the Balance Star God is made into a light cone, it will definitely be the most shameful light cone. Star Gods, Balance Envoys, or Destiny Walkers who are concerned about their own destiny will go crazy.

"So, only one guy is left."

Mebius looked into the depths of space, where a cheerful red mask was wandering.

"Aha, you're going to get smashed to a pulp."

Chapter 304 Eternal Paradise

"Aha, no hee hee"

"Aha can't find any fun, Aha is crying."

"So boring, so boring, so boring, so boring, so boring, so boring, so boring!"

At this moment, the Star God of Joy, Aha, was imprisoned in a cell, constantly muttering to himself and wandering around. His various masks, some crying and some laughing, suddenly developed many large bumps.

A boy walked into the cell and happened to overhear Aha's mutterings.

"After all, it was you who caused the misunderstanding from the very beginning," the young man's voice drifted into Aha's ears.

Aha stopped in his tracks, and then all the masks were thrown against the iron bars of the window, their eye sockets staring straight at the boy in front of him.

"Aha, I'm so sad, Akivili, where have you gone?"

The boy was none other than the seemingly fallen pioneering star god, Akivili.

Instead of answering Aha's question, he smiled and asked a question in return.

"Aha, how are you feeling?"

Aha is now confined to this cell, with only a small amount of Destiny Energy at his disposal. The vast majority of his Destiny Energy has been sealed away. More importantly, he is trapped in the cell and cannot leave, which is an unbearable torture for Aha, who has always wanted to have fun.

“Not good at all, Aha…” Aha, who was about to continue muttering, suddenly fell silent. Akivili could feel Aha’s gaze passing over him and looking into the distance.

Akivili turned around and his and Aha's eyes met Doriko's curious gaze as she peeked out. Their gazes collided in the air, and then Doriko immediately shrank back like a startled fawn.

"Is this your girlfriend?!" Aha suddenly looked at the girl with delight.

“My relationship with Doric is not that superficial,” Akivili said calmly.

But the next second he suddenly saw that Aha in the cell had changed his appearance and turned into a pretty girl with black hair and red eyes.

The girl bit her cherry lips, then slumped to the ground in despair, her rose-red eyes gently lifting to look at Akivili with sorrow.

The girl called out his name, "Akivili," her voice filled with endless sorrow and grief.

"..."

Akivili froze on the spot, his lips twitching.

I'll come see you again another time.

Akivili turned away helplessly and walked away.

"Don't go..." He then heard the pitiful pleas for him to stay from the prison cell.

But Akivili walked away with firm steps, feeling that if he stayed any longer, he would really be tempted to beat Aha up again.

The cell quickly fell silent.

After a while, the black-haired beauty that Aha had transformed into blinked her red eyes. This appearance was created by Aha using the last bit of his life force energy, while the rest of Aha's life force energy was sealed.

"It seems I can't go back to being the same..." The girl tilted her head.

A few days later, at a spaceport in a certain galaxy.

Akivilli was showing Dorothy around the area, buying whatever interesting things they saw to bring back to the Starry Sky Train as decorations. After their shopping spree, the two of them looked very satisfied and excited, discussing what to do next as they walked back to the Starry Sky Train.

However, when the two arrived at the location where the Star Train was parked, Akivili suddenly saw a black-haired girl wearing a red skirt standing at the train door. A red smiling mask hung on her slender waist, and as they approached, they could hear the girl humming a song.

"Who are you?" Doric asked curiously as Akivili stood there stunned.

The black-haired girl turned around, and a beautiful smile suddenly bloomed on her delicate face.

"You big bad guy!" The girl looked at Akivili, who was standing there speechless.

"I've finally found you!" Then, ignoring the curious Doric, she happily threw herself into Akivili's arms.

Akivilli was being held by the black-haired girl, and then he looked into the eyes of Doric.

"Is it fun?" Akivili asked helplessly, holding the black-haired girl's slender arm. However, at this moment, Akivili also discovered that the girl had no life force energy at all and was just a weak girl, at least that's how she appeared.

"You don't want me anymore?" The girl's expression turned sorrowful and grief-stricken the next second as she looked at Akivili with a mournful expression.

Doric walked over and stood next to Akivili, looking at the black-haired girl.

"Can you explain the situation a little?" Doric wasn't angry; she was just curious, nothing more.

"Have you forgotten how close we used to be?" The girl was petite, and she looked up at Akivili with a pitiful appearance that made people feel sorry for her.

"Let's get on the train first and then talk," Akivili said, feeling utterly exhausted.

But the black-haired girl clung to Akivili and refused to let go. Akivili was worried about hurting her, so he could only hold the black-haired girl in front of Doriko, and the three of them walked into the Starry Sky Train together.

[The days ahead are going to be tough] Akivili knows Aha's personality all too well. Although it has now become her and cannot yet mobilize the energy of destiny, her ability to cause trouble is by no means diminished.

"An era belonging to a great galactic monarch has arrived! The universe is unified, and all realms are united!"

"This is a glorious era! Under the rule of the Galactic Monarch, all living beings in the universe are radiating unprecedented vitality!"

"This is an era of peace! There is no longer any war in the entire universe, and peace has forever descended upon us!"

"This is a great era! All the Star Gods, under the will of the Galactic Monarch, are dedicating themselves wholeheartedly to the lives of all beings in the universe!"

"Fellow citizens of all realms! Friends! Rejoice! Let us rejoice! Rejoice for the Lord of the Galaxy!"

This war to unify the universe lasted a very short time, less than an Amber Age, but under the great power of the Galactic Monarch, the universe was unified, the star gods paid homage, and every cosmic life praised the great deeds of the Galactic Monarch.

Although no one knows where the Galactic Lords came from or where they are, all that is known is that their capital is called Terra.

However, the entire universe was thriving under the rule of the Galactic Monarch, and the prosperity during the Galactic Monarch's reign was far greater than the first period of prosperity in the history of the universe or the second period of prosperity before the arrival of the Galactic Monarch.

All living beings in the universe believe that the rule and glory of the Galactic Lord will last forever—until that day comes.

Solar System, Earth

Gretchen stood beside the enormous floor-to-ceiling window of her office, gazing at the canvas before her and then at the sun high in the sky. The colossal structure enveloping the sun like a crystal flower was now complete—the 13th Flawless Divine Key, Eternal Paradise, a project that had taken 50 years to build.

On the sofa next to the office, Vita and Saber were playing a game with headphones on.

Grey was painting a crystal flower on the canvas with her paintbrush. At this moment, she only needed to hold and activate the button on the paintbrush to fully activate the 13th Divine Key.

Just then, the office door suddenly opened, and Alicia walked in happily. She saw Gretchen by the French windows and walked over to her, asking curiously.

"Why did Gretsch send me here?"

"Let Alicia activate the 13th Divine Key."

Greta had just finished painting a pink crystal flower on the canvas and handed the paintbrush to Alicia.

"The 13th Divine Key, Eternal Paradise, is complete. The paradise that Alicia longed for is within reach. When Eternal Paradise is activated, our human civilization on Earth will truly create an eternal paradise. The laws of the universe, every single thread of the universe, will be altered at our whim."

"Give"

When Alicia took the paintbrush, she suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of panic, but she couldn't pinpoint its source. Wasn't what Gretsch was doing exactly what she wanted? Wasn't the idea of ​​an eternal paradise her own idea? Why was she feeling so panicked?

"Destiny awaits. Shall we not activate Eternal Paradise?"

Seeing Gretchen's calm, serene purple eyes, Alicia suppressed the panic and fear in her heart.

"Um... is it alright if we don't activate Eternal Paradise for now, Gretsch?"

"Hmm, isn't this what Alicia wanted?"

Greta blinked and asked curiously.

"...Gresh, what consequences will the Eternal Paradise have?" Alicia looked at Gresh with hopeful eyes, hoping to hear that there would be no consequences.

"...Hmm"

Embedded in the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, deep within the Sea of ​​Quanta, the consequences of activating the 13th Flawless Divine Key to Eternal Paradise—of course there are.

"Actually, he's not dead."

Greta laughed.

Alicia breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"When Eternal Paradise is activated, the resulting backlash will detonate the entire Tree Sea Universe, wiping out all life forms throughout it."

"..."

Gretchen grasped Alicia's hand, who was standing frozen in place, holding a paintbrush.

"Gresh, don't joke like that. This isn't funny at all. This isn't real, is it? This isn't real!" Alicia's voice trembled, and when she looked up, she saw the Herrscher's signature colored contact lenses appear in Gresh's purple eyes.

This is, the Lawyer

Alicia was completely heartbroken.

"We will become a true god race and create a true, eternal paradise!"

"We are the masters of all things, we are the galactic monarchs, we bind the boundless universe, we are the ones who bind the gods!"

Gretchen held Alicia's hand and, seeing her expression of shock, regret, and fear, pressed the button on the paintbrush.

The 13th Flawless Divine Key, Eternal Paradise/Etheric Engine (Cosmic Version), has been officially launched.

In her final moments, Gretchen gazed at Alicia, whose heart had turned to ashes, and spoke softly. Alicia gave a bitter, desolate smile. So, the Herrscher had always been there.

"I am the lawgiver, the lawgiver of constraints, wielding the power of constraint."

Chapter 305 End of 11th Cycle and Epilogue

Vita stood in front of Gretsch's room and knocked on the door.

"Gresh, are you awake?"

Vita heard a soft, sweet moan, and she carefully pushed open the door and went inside.

As she pushed open the creamy white wooden door, the morning sunlight streamed in through the folds of the sheer curtains, casting shimmering waves on the pale blue walls. Many finished paintings lay scattered on the floor; thankfully, there was no paint in the room, so it wasn't everywhere. Inside the canopy, a down comforter and five or six plush toys were piled up, and a girl with short blue hair lay among them, her pink lips uttering unconscious murmurs in her sleep.

Vita's eyes gradually brightened, and she tiptoed to Gretchen's side, looking at her sleeping with excitement. Seeing Gretchen's soft face, Vita couldn't help but reach out her hand.

She had wanted to do this for a long time, but unfortunately, the Lord would never have given Vita the opportunity before. Instead, the Lord would have tried to feel the texture of Vita's face.

However, when the Lord suddenly left, she left behind another Gretsch who inherited her Herrscher identity and power but did not yet know how to control them.
