(Well, for those who still don't understand SY's background, you can check out the introduction for Jean-Claude Van Damme's movie Universal Soldier. My theory is derived from that film.)

Hearing Fang Senyan's words, the two renowned Apostles of Darkness were furious beyond measure, as if they might explode at any second! They roared in unison:

"You're spouting nonsense!"

Fang Senyan looked at them, the sharpness and mockery in his eyes unmistakable:

"If I'm not mistaken, then do you dare show your Nightmare Marks? Space selection contractors must be healthy, normal human beings. Fellows like you, with such profound flaws in your souls, no matter how powerful, can only exist as appendages to the contractor—as servants or summons. If you can show your Nightmare Marks, then I am indeed talking nonsense! If you can't produce them! What a pity, you are pathetic wretches whose very memories have been fabricated! You low-IQ creatures who spent your childhoods in test tubes!"

"He's stalling for time," Fu calmed down. "I won't give you another chance. You are just talking trash."

Fang Senyan sneered:

"Then why did you attack Pombar? He was your partner, after all. Aren't you afraid of ruining the relationship between you two? In fact, you brothers must have had doubts yourselves for a long time, right? Among you brothers, only one is your father's biological son; the rest are merely puppets existing because of their attachment to him."

The muscles on Fu's face twitched uncontrollably. Every word Fang Senyan spoke stabbed deep into his heart like a dagger!

And at that precise moment, a cold glint flashed in Fang Senyan's eyes. Grayish mist began to suffuse his body, and the terrifying virus spread out in all directions as he launched a sudden, fierce attack!

As Fang Senyan moved, both Apostles instantly felt an indescribable, tearing pain in their lungs. Fang Senyan had already buried his head and rushed to Fu's front. The ** on his hands was constantly writhing, transforming, and solidifying. The next second, the Demon Sword Apophis ruthlessly plunged deep into Fu's abdomen!

This was Fang Senyan's desperate, last-ditch blow for survival!

This was also the first time the ** had been used in combat since its promotion to a Divine Artifact!

The annihilating, terrifying power instantly created a destructive force as astounding as a black hole, ripping a large hole in Fu's belly. What was even more horrifying was that Fang Senyan had poured all fifty points of his **'s free attribute points into Strength, delivering crushing damage. Such a terrifying attack caused a waterfall of blood to spray out from Fu's back, along with massive chunks of dark red internal organs!!

Severely wounded in a single strike!

This was the horrific might amplified by the True Luck Skill. Furthermore, considering Fang Senyan's significant increase in strength since his last battle with Fu, and the fact that Fu, being classified as a servant or summon, would not benefit from the 40% damage reduction bonus, this shocking outcome materialized.

Under Fu's gaze of utter disbelief, Fang Senyan even managed to transmit the AIDS virus once before snatching back the Demon Sword Apophis and making a break for it. However, the other Dark Saint, Xiang, was no easy target. His form vanished into the air with a strange flicker, reappearing instantly behind Fang Senyan.

But Fang Senyan's capabilities had also surged. The moment Xiang materialized behind him, Fang Senyan didn't even need to turn around; the faint tendrils of his psychic feelers had already sensed it. Dazzling light erupted from the tips of Fang Senyan's fingers, and the Ring of the Champion from the Harry Potter world played a crucial role. Teleportation immediately activated, and Fang Senyan flashed away as well, causing Xiang's ambush to fail.

Yet, the instant Fang Senyan teleported, Xiang evaporated into the air once more. A bizarre blurring phenomenon surrounded his body; it was evident that the air itself was being distorted, creating a peculiar visual distortion—much like looking at fish underwater; our eyes tell us where the fish is, but there is actually a deviation. Without a correction value, any attack aimed at him would certainly be dodged.

Not only that, but when Xiang reappeared, he was still behind Fang Senyan!! His ability was continuous teleportation, allowing him to stick relentlessly to his opponent's back like a persistent shadow, utterly vicious. This was actually a specialized technique of the Traveler among the Ten Strongest.

Fang Senyan could no longer dodge, but he was hardly a fragile young lady. His self-positioning from the start had been as an MT (Main Tank)! To absorb the enemy's damage with his own flesh and blood! Therefore, even as the scarlet light flickered continuously on Xiang's fingertips, punching deep bloody holes into Fang Senyan's back, it only elicited a muffled groan from Fang Senyan. He used the momentum to lunge forward, sweeping the Demon Sword Apophis backhand towards Xiang.

"Duo!!" However, Xiang loudly chanted a bizarre incantation! The sound seemed substantial, penetrating Fang Senyan's mind, causing his entire body to tremble. Taking advantage of this opening, the light on Xiang's hand shone brightly, as if he had donned a glove, and simultaneously, he reached back and grasped the blade of the Demon Sword Apophis, yet the Demon Sword Apophis could not harm him in the slightest.

At the same time, on Xiang's other palm, a terrifying, tiny vortex was forming. Within this vortex, specks of light flickered, revealing miniature galaxies, teeming with the birth and death of countless stars, vibrant with life.

"To actually use the Demon Sword Apophis against us, who were fully prepared! How foolish! Hahaha, we know it better than you by a hundred times! It required our blood for quenching during its forging process," Xiang laughed maniacally. "Die! Nebula... Big Bang!!!"

Then Xiang slammed his palm onto Fang Senyan's back!!

An incomparably terrifying roar echoed within Fang Senyan's body! It was as if every single cell inside him was about to endure the shockwave of a collapsing nebula!

As previously mentioned, the origin of the universe involved the First Point splitting into countless Base Points, which then transformed into countless parallel universes. Time began at this juncture. When time enters its final stage of collapse, this process reverses: countless parallel universes contract, planets and galaxies within them explode, vaporize into gas, and finally shrink back into Base Points, returning to the "Beginning."

The attack Fang Senyan was enduring was Xiang simulating the decay of time and the fragmentation of nebulae. In that instant, not only did he suffer an extremely severe, heavy blow, but his maximum health value was also temporarily reduced by a terrifying three-fourths! His back skin appeared undamaged, but his internal bones and organs had turned into a mushy, ruined pulp, like soft tofu.

Fang Senyan's sensation was equally agonizing. He felt as if the capillaries in his eyes were all rupturing, causing his entire field of vision to turn blood-red.

Gasping and vomiting blood, Fang Senyan let out a loud cry, turning around with the expression of a cornered beast. Simultaneously, the Third Eye on his forehead snapped open, unleashing countless psychic feelers that nearly formed a massive net to ensnare Xiang in front of him. He raised the Demon Sword Apophis again and thrust it toward Xiang's chest.

Xiang laughed with contempt:

"You truly are an idiot. Didn't I already tell you that using the Demon Sword Apophis against us is futile?"

As Xiang spoke, he casually extended his hand, laughing as he reached out to grip the incoming Apophis. But a cold glint flashed in Fang Senyan's eyes. A series of piercing, shrill lights suddenly flared on the surface of Apophis, and then, the five fingers of the hand Xiang used to grasp Apophis flew off simultaneously, utterly severed by the power of Annihilation. The next second, Apophis pierced through Xiang's chest. He could not escape the same crushing fate; the large hole in his chest was a bloody mess, but the look in his eyes was one of inexpressible shock! Vomiting blood profusely, he managed to utter in disbelief:

"Th-this, how is this possible?"

Fang Senyan took a deep breath, raised his right hand again, and Apophis rapidly dissolved, transforming into the Miner's Glove:

"Regrettably, your Apophis was devoured by my weapon long ago. For a very, very long time in this world, the Demon Sword Apophis has ceased to exist. All that remains is the divine liquid metal lifeform, **!"

As he finished the last word, Fang Senyan's right fist shot out with thunderous speed. The final impact's light instantly illuminated Xiang's face, and then the fist landed heavily on Xiang's head. Terrifying power erupted, directly crushing his face into a distorted mass of ruined flesh.

After delivering this punch, Fang Senyan immediately collapsed. What he vomited was entirely black, foul blood, as if fermented. The terrifying power of the Nebula Big Bang acted like nuclear radiation, directly affecting the cells internally and bypassing all defenses, delivering astonishingly fierce damage. This was precisely the type of attack Fang Senyan feared the most.

Then, darkness surged, and a figure stepped out—a figure that looked sturdy, arrogant, and calm.

This person bore a strange resemblance to Fang Senyan in his features, but with an added layer of cold detachment and chilling severity. For some inexplicable reason, seeing this person gave Fang Senyan a bizarre feeling of looking into a mirror.

This person effortlessly seized Fang Senyan by the neck, lifting him up with one hand. The blood overflowing from Fang Senyan's mouth trickled down his chin, spreading across the back of his hand. The newcomer seemed oblivious, addressing Fang Senyan seriously:

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Hu Zheng; they call me Zheng. That murderer, Fang Lin, is my biological father. Your father is Fang Lin the merchant. Strictly speaking, we could be considered brothers."
