Absolute Choice
chapter-452

Dawn slashed out the strike that contained the power of her Sword Soul.

The strike did not seem to have a name. It appeared to be the most normal of slashes, but the power produced from that strike struck fear into the deepest depths of one's soul!

The azure blue sky was instantly overwhelmed by white light.

Shi Xiaobai took a step forward as his black eyes shimmered an austere killing intent. With a roar, he slashed at that boundless whiteness.

"Excalibur!"

This strike was Shi Xiaobai's full strength. It was meant for victory, leaving no room for escape!

This was the final strike.

This strike was Excalibur!

The gigantic golden sword phantom came crashing down on the whiteness of space. With a bang, the world lost all sounds to it. Golden and white light mixed in the sky like interspersing clouds or crashing waves. They rolled and boiled over, like burning flower buds.

There was no other scene or color other than gold and white. It was as if the entire world was filled with the resplendent goldenness and blank whiteness.

The thirty-thousand-strong spectators, Speechless and company fell into a speechless daze. They could not hear any sounds or see anything. They could not even say a word. All they could do was remain in silence and wait with bated breaths.

They were waiting for the moment the energies of the two strikes dispersed.

They were waiting for the moment the outcome surfaced.

They were waiting to see who won.

...

"Who won?"

It was unknown who was the first to produce such a sound. The silence in the world was finally broken, and time that seemed to freeze over finally began spinning once again.

The interspersed gold and white light dispersed like the clouds. The energies that left the hearts of people palpitating gradually faded to show the world's outlines. Everyone finally managed to see the scene in front of them.

There were people panting, while there were others who were holding their breaths. Some gulped a mouthful of saliva, while others gaped their mouths. Some widened their eyes while others trembled all over...

However, the thirty-thousand-strong audience all cast their eyes at the spot where the gold and white light was richest.

it was the spot where the black-haired boy and blond girl stood.

Who was the one who won?

In the gradually fading light, a figure slowly appeared.

A lone figure that was left in between the heavens and earth!

It meant that one of them had been pulverized by the clash of swords and had his or her existence wiped clean.

Then, whose figure did that belong to?

The black-haired boy?

Or was it the blond girl?

Who won?

Who died?

"None of the above."

Speechless' lips quivered slightly as he said in shock, "It's not them!"

That figure was not the boy's or the girl's. That was because the figure was clearly much bigger than a normal-sized human!

Soon, many people realized that fact, but they still widened their eyes in disbelief.

Who was it?

"Field... Field Marshal Awesomo!?"

A soldier from the Celestial domain was the first person to recognize the true identity of the blurry figure in the light!

And finally, when the light was completely dispersed, an unbelievable fact was proven!

Standing in the spot where the young boy and girl were was a tall armored figure. His head had two horns, and he was none other than the Celestial domain's Field Marshal Awesomo!

The Celestial domain's Field Marshal that had never existed in the history of the trial had suddenly appeared. He was the only existence in that void!

Why is it him?

How could it possibly be him?

"Where...where is Shi Xiaobai!?"

The always calm Sunless could no longer maintain her composure as she shouted in panic. In that void world, the youth that had always been in her eyes had vanished. It was as if he had evaporated completely from existence!

Field Marshal Awesomo turned his head slowly. His crimson eyes were cold and austere as a sneer slowly suffused across his lips.

"That boy that was designated as the Infernal King has obviously died."

Field Marshal Awesomo said with a sneer, "But don't worry. He won't be lonely because there is that outrageously strong girl who has accompanied him in death. The two of them indeed possessed extraordinary strength, but they were foolish after all. They had bet all their power into that one strike, ignoring an internecine outcome. It is only natural that they didn't end up well. This Field Marshal was only watching a good show before he casually wiped out the barely living duo."

The burly bull-horned Field Marshal illustrated a cruel fact with an emotionless and calm tone.

But there will clearly people who did not believe him. Speechless immediately said with a sneer, "Just a once-defeated loser like you? Even if they had used all their strength which resulted in an internecine outcome, there is no way you can beat them, much less wipe their existence. Have you repressed the terror of being crushed by This Emperor?"

Speechless sneered, but beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. That was because Shi Xiaobai and Dawn had really vanished. They had vanished from this world. Even if they were not killed by Field Marshal Awesomo, it was difficult to eliminate the possibility that they had perished together.

Furthermore, this so-called Field Marshal Awesomo did not exist in the data left behind by past trial-takers. To them, he was a mysterious existence. He had once thought of the possible underlying dangers of Field Marshal Awesomo.

However, he never expected that everything would be so sudden and ridiculous.

Shi Xiaobai and the Hero King had been killed by him?

"How can this be possible!?"

"Is there any difference on whether you believe it or not?"

Field Marshal Awesomo maintained his sneer as he turned to face Speechless and company. He walked slowly and said coldly, "All of you are definitely dying anyway. Of course, before you die, This Field Marshal will let you realize the truth before dying. The fool that was designated as Celestial King, all of this is just a plot set up by This Field Marshal. Be it the designation of the Infernal King or the Celestial King, or the method where the war between the three domains was instigated, and even the battle that you thought you won, were designed by This Field Marshal. It's all to kill that so-called Hero King you people mention. That bastard is not fake but real. Three thousand years ago, This Field Marshal could not do a thing about her, but this time, she sent herself to her death while crossing space-time. This Field Marshal naturally won't be soft hearted again. Although This Field Marshal's original intention was to slightly deplete her stamina, who knew that the boy was such a tough opponent. He gave This Field Marshal quite a pleasant surprise."

"Now, all of you will be vanquished. This Field Marshal no longer needs to hide and can openly clean up the lowly scum like you."

"Of course, you might still think that there might be a chance, and think that This Field Marshal is lying. But soon, you will be completely pulverized by the cruel fact. Don't think of running. The exit command is invalid. This Field Marshal is the ruler of this level, so This Field Marshal controls the rules of this level."

"This Field Marshal is the one none of you want to encounter—the Level Lord!"

... IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said "", but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.
