115: Chapter 115 The Last Fried Chicken, the Initial Tranquility

"Hello, here is your Family Bucket number 99. Enjoy your meal!"

In the magnificent fried chicken shop, a top chef wearing a tuxedo handed a steaming family bucket to Gu Fan with the most elegant posture.

The world's destruction was imminent, and humanity was in dire peril.

Gu Fan finally reached the front of the line and received the "Old John's Fried Chicken" he had been longing for.

The "Devourer of Worlds" had lived for infinite ages, devouring hundreds of millions of civilizations. It had witnessed the most heroic resistance, heard the most desperate wails, and tasted the purest fear.

But for the first time, it felt "confused."

This tiny Mortal, like a speck of dust.

He was not afraid.

Not angry.

Not resisting.

Not despairing.

What... what was he doing?!

He was carefully opening the packaging, then leaning in to take a deep sniff of the fried chicken's aroma, his face even showing an expression of extreme satisfaction?!

This was a profanation!

It was a disregard for the ultimate art of "Destruction"! It was an absolute contempt for it, the Dominator of the End!

"Ant, why do you not tremble before the God of Death?!"

The Evil God's voice, like the simultaneous explosion of billions of galaxies, erupted deep within Gu Fan's Soul.

This mental shock was enough to cause a Martial God's Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering in an instant.

Gu Fan found an outdoor seat where he could bask in the sun and sat down. He tore off the plumpest chicken drumstick from the bucket, its golden, crispy skin glistening with an enticing oily sheen.

He took a large bite.

"Crunch!"

The skin was crispy, and the inside was tender and juicy. The flavor of the spices exploded instantly on his taste buds.

Gu Fan narrowed his eyes in happiness, chewing indistinctly, before lazily answering in his mind.

"Fried chicken fresh out of the pot must be eaten while it's hot."

"This is a form of respect."

"Even if the sky falls, it has to wait until I finish this drumstick."

"..."

The Evil God's train of thought stalled for 0.001 seconds.

Respect?

Eating a drumstick?

BOOM!!!!

Indescribable rage transformed into a physical force of destruction.

The Evil God was completely infuriated by this ultimate "profanation."

It abandoned its mind games and directly mobilized pure Chaos energy sufficient to annihilate a star. It was a black torrent mixed with fragments of time and space, carrying the will to erase everything, pouring down violently like the Nine Heavens' Milky Way toward the figure leisurely gnawing on the drumstick.

The entire ruins of Tianqiong City were instantly crushed into basic particles under the aftershocks of this energy.

However.

That energy torrent, capable of destroying everything, came to an abrupt halt just one meter above Gu Fan's head.

It wasn't neutralized.

It wasn't reflected.

Like a movie frame with the "pause" button pressed, it weirdly suspended in mid-air in its most violent state, motionless.

Time seemed to be frozen within this small area.

Gu Fan finished gnawing a bone, tossed it into the trash can, and then looked up.

He frowned.

"Hey."

He complained very unhappily.

"This thing of yours, all black and murky, is blocking the sunlight."

"It's affecting my mood for the meal."

Blocking... the sunlight?!

"ROAR—!!!"

The Evil God let out the angriest roar since its birth.

It didn't believe it!

It refused to believe this absurdity anymore!

It mobilized even more power, energy ten times more formidable than before, transforming into Chaos light spears capable of piercing a planetary core from all directions in a 360-degree attack on Gu Fan.

The result.

All attacks similarly "paused" within a one-meter range of Gu Fan.

One after another, the violent energy bodies stacked with the previous black torrent, forming a massive, magnificent, yet completely harmless... black parasol.

It dutifully blocked the somewhat blinding midday sun for Gu Fan.

Hidden behind the bulletproof glass of the fried chicken shop, Xiao Fan and Lin Xue were completely stunned.

Xiao Fan was so excited he couldn't speak clearly: "Pre... President! The President... he activated an Absolute Defense! So awesome!!"

A strange light flickered in Lin Xue's beautiful eyes. She looked at the back of the figure comfortably drinking cola under the "parasol" and murmured to herself.

"No, I feel like..."

"He just seems to be annoyed that the thing would warm up his iced cola."

Xiao Fan: "..."

This ultimate humiliation from the Universe drove the "Devourer of Worlds" completely insane.

It cast aside all its contempt and, for the first time, regarded this Mortal as an unprecedented arch-enemy.

It gathered all the malice, all the resentment, and all the chaotic and destructive will from the hundreds of millions of worlds it had devoured.

These pure negative concepts, which transcended energy and matter, condensed at its core into a Spear of Karma, pitch black as ink, with a tip that seemed not to exist in this dimension!

This spear did not harm the body nor destroy the Soul.

Its target was "existence" itself!

It wanted to completely erase the "Singularity" that was Gu Fan from all timelines—past, present, and future!

"From this Universe... for me... disappear!!"

The Spear of Karma, carrying all the Evil God's power and rage, ignored the distance of time and space, piercing directly at Gu Fan's existence itself.

This was a sure-kill strike! This was divine punishment! This was the end!

Facing this attack, enough to trigger a Universe reboot.

Gu Fan simply put down his half-finished cola.

Then, he took out a fragrant chicken wing from the bucket.
