He thought of a legend, a forbidden secret circulating among the highest levels of the Calamity Clan.
"Lord Li Zevim, do you perhaps intend to..."
"The arrow is on the string, it must be released!"
Li Zevim interrupted him, declaring in a resolute tone.
"We have no other choice!"
He reached out and placed his hand on the Holy Grail.
A vast amount of magical power, mixed with his own malice, surged wildly into it.
"We will contact them!"
"Contact those hungry predators roaming beyond dimensions!"
"An EXE that connects to the world outside!"
“Tell them!”
Li Zewim's expression was one of extreme fervor.
"Here lies a feast unlike any other!"
"Here lies an incredibly delicious world!"
"We are willing to offer everything for the great mechanical god!"
"We are willing to be His pawns, to open the door for Him to enter this world!"
As Euclid watched the seemingly crazed Li Zevim, the trembling in his body gradually subsided.
Fear, once it reached its peak, gave rise to equally insane thoughts.
Yes.
It's all dead anyway.
Anyway, we're all just pawns.
Rather than being used and discarded by Zhou Ye, it's better to be sacrificed by Sazex.
Why not align yourself with a more powerful, chaotic, and unpredictable entity?
At least that way, the whole world could be dragged down with it!
Given what they did in the underworld, even if Zhou Ye were to show mercy and let them go, Sazex and Serafru would definitely make sure they die a horrible death!
They have no way out!
Euclid struggled to his feet and walked over to Li Zevim.
He also reached out and placed his hand on the Holy Grail.
“I understand, Lord Li Zevm.”
"Rather than die in humiliation, it is better to be reborn in the flames of destruction!"
Two madmen, driven to the brink of despair, exchanged a glance.
They unleashed all their power simultaneously.
The Holy Grail of the Underworld emitted a piercing hum as the two infused it with their power.
A malevolent signal, transcending space and causality, filled with the stench of rust and code, was forcibly torn open and shot into the endless, cold, dark void beyond the world.
They pressed the button that ignited the entire world.
Chapter 316 Invasion of the EXE World from Outside the DXD World
As Li Zevheim and Euclid went into their final frenzy, the purplish-black patterns on the [Ghost World Grail], which was filled with malice and magic, reached a saturated peak.
hum-
The Holy Grail itself emitted a tooth-grinding vibration.
It no longer absorbs power, but twists and encodes it, then launches it out in a way that tears reality apart.
An evil fluctuation, invisible to mortals and undetectable to gods, pierced through the rocky layers of the underworld, the barriers of the human realm, and the barriers of the mythological system, shooting towards the endless, dark void where no concept exists.
After doing all this, Li Zevim and Euclid were both exhausted and collapsed to the ground.
The Holy Grail's luster quickly dimmed.
They were panting heavily, their clothes soaked with sweat, but both of them wore a morbid, post-traumatic excitement.
They gambled the fate of the world on the table.
……
world outside.
There is no up, down, left, or right here, and no passage of time.
This is a dimension composed of endless metallic geometries and a ceaseless waterfall of data.
Cold, hard logic is the only rule here.
Life, emotions, and soul—these concepts do not exist here, or rather, they are "resources" that need to be analyzed, decoded, and then absorbed.
Sudden.
The signal from the DXD world has arrived here.
It was captured by a mechanical god, as large as a planet, composed of countless silver cubes.
[Signal source analysis in progress...]
[World coordinates locked: DXD-777]
[Energy Composition: A high-value mixture of chaos, magic, divinity, malice... nutrients.]
[Global Intensity Assessment: An "Administrator" level anomalous entity exists. Threat Level: High.]
[Intrusion scheme calculation...]
The data stream is processed at a speed exceeding the speed of light within the core of the mechanical god.
[Optimal solution: Abandon direct intrusion.]
[Execute Plan B: Deploy the "Glitch" for infiltration and sabotage.]
[Objective: To pollute the world's underlying logic, create internal chaos, and weaken the "administrator's" authority.]
The evil god Mervazoa, one of the three giants of the mechanical gods, issued the final order.
It separated three inconspicuous data packets from its massive body.
These three data packets, using a "backdoor" in the world rules left over from the ancient war that even the True Crimson Dragon God Emperor had not noticed, silently infiltrated the world marked "Feast".
……
the other side.
Zhou Ye, who had just led the people of the Bible pantheon away from the Olympus phantom, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He looked up at the empty sky.
Helena stopped as well, looking at him with some confusion.
"what happened?"
“The bait has been cast.” Zhou Ye withdrew his gaze and looked back at Helena with a playful expression on his face.
"The fish that took the bait were faster and dumber than I expected."
Helena immediately realized what was happening.
"Li Zevheim and the others..."
“Hmm.” Zhou Ye nodded. “They overturned the table and called in reinforcements.”
Michael and the other angels became tense upon hearing this conversation.
Anyone whom Zhou Ye refers to as "external aid" is definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Zhou Ye ignored their tension and naturally asked Helena a question.
"Speaking of which, isn't the thousand-year promise you made with that otherworldly elven goddess named Maria coming soon?"
Helena's body paused very slightly.
She looked up at Zhou Ye.
"You even know this?"
"There's not much I don't know. This is just my guess based on the available intelligence," Zhou Ye readily admitted.
Helena was silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking. Her voice was soft, yet it carried a weight that had spanned many years.
“Maria… is my comrade-in-arms.”
"She comes from another world system, a place that has been completely destroyed and formatted by EXE."
"She is a survivor of that world, and the only one who possesses the power to fight against the mechanical evil god logic virus at its root."
"Our agreement is a last resort. If one day EXE's claws reach into this world, she will come to my aid."
"And I will provide her with a battlefield where she can complete her revenge."
These words sent chills down the spines of Michael and the others standing nearby.
Another world has been destroyed.
And now, the Destroyer has arrived.
……
Deep in the underworld.
Li Zevim was drowsy from exhaustion when a mechanical, emotionless voice, neither male nor female, rang out in his mind.
[Coordinates provided by Li Zeweim Lucifer.]
Li Zevim jolted awake, instantly sober.
