265: The oriole is behind

“Hahahaha! When the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman benefits! Su Lei, Gravekeeper! You two ultimately paved the way for me! This key is mine!”

Star Lord let out a long-suppressed, triumphant laugh.

He seemed to already envision his glorious future: obtaining the key, opening the legendary Primordial Prison, subduing billions of Vicious Beasts within, and finally reigning over the entire Universe!

However, his laughter lasted less than half a second before it was abruptly choked off, as if by an invisible hand.

Because just as his indestructible Star Power was about to touch the key, a hand, moving so fast that even his Divine Thought couldn't track it, appeared before him and gently grasped the cold key!

It was Su Lei.

While dealing with the Graverobber Proxy, he still had energy to spare, or rather, he effortlessly snatched the final prize right from under Star Lord's nose!

How was this possible! Shouldn't his Divine Soul have been injured in the confrontation with the Gravekeeper?

“You, you...”

Star Lord's massive Law Avatar flickered violently. He pointed at the man holding the key, so enraged that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

He felt like a ridiculous clown, being played for a fool.

Everything, from beginning to end—the opponent's feigned weakness, the confrontation, the mutual destruction—it was all part of the opponent's calculations!

“Thank you for your generosity.”

Su Lei weighed the cold key in his hand.

He lifted the spatial cage imprisoning the grey-robed man in front of Star Lord, then turned to look at the Star Law Avatar, which was violently fluctuating with rage.

“Now it’s our turn to settle the score.”

Rumble!!!

The moment Su Lei's words fell, the collapse of the entire Fractured Bone Town finally entered its final and most frenzied stage.

The asteroid's core beneath their feet, the furious geocentric energy that had been suppressed for billions of years, finally broke free from all restraints and spiraled completely out of control!

A thick, dark-red energy beam, powerful enough to pierce heaven and earth, mixed with scorching magma and shattered Law, erupted from the depths of the earth with a roar!

The Throne of Fallen Gods, a sturdy spire forged from unknown black alloy, reputed to be impregnable, was easily washed away like a fragile sandcastle on a beach in the face of this ultimate destruction originating from the planet's core.

It ultimately disintegrated into a sky full of metallic dust.

Star Lord's massive holographic Law Avatar flickered violently a few times under the direct impact of this energy storm, which rivaled a supernova explosion.

Finally, with an unwilling roar, he completely dissipated.

As for the interstellar magnates still frantically fleeing within the venue, desperately searching for a glimmer of hope, their fate was already sealed.

Su Lei's gaze remained firmly fixed on the very center of the storm, the singular point of nothingness formed by the collision of the three forces.

That was the origin of the entire asteroid's collapse, and also where the energy was most chaotic.

And the Purgatory Key, which should have been in his possession, was now quietly suspended in the heart of that chaos.

Everything just now, from seizing the key to confronting Star Lord, was merely an illusion he created—so realistic and flawless—for everyone present, including Star Lord and the Gravekeeper, using the terrifying computational power of Law stripping combined with the crown of wisdom.

His true objective was never to confront them head-on, but to use this accident, which he personally directed and continuously escalated, to create a perfect opportunity for himself to secretly take the key right under everyone's noses.

His figure flickered, instantly crossing the distance of space, appearing before the true key.

However, just as his fingertip was about to touch the cold metal, two equally swift figures appeared simultaneously beside him, one on each side.

Star Lord, and the Graverobber Proxy whom he had just released from the spatial cage.

Clearly, these two supreme powerhouses, who also stood at the apex of the Universe's food chain, had also seen through his illusion, or rather, they had never fully trusted anyone from the very beginning.

The gazes of the three clashed violently in the chaotic energy storm.

However, just as these three forces intertwined, poised to strike, at this critical moment, a flash of blade light, completely unforeseen by anyone, streaked without warning from the constantly twisting shadows beneath their feet, caused by the energy beam!

That blade light was extremely fast and extremely Weird.

It directly ignored all energy defenses and Law barriers set up by the three powerhouses, like a venomous snake hidden for millennia, precisely striking at the key in the eye of the storm.

“Who is it?!”

Star Lord was the first to react, backhanding a palm strike fiercely down towards that shadow.

Billions of Star Power instantly condensed into a colossal hand, covering the sky and sun, intending to completely crush that hidden rat along with the shadow into the dust of the Universe.

Su Lei's movements were equally swift.

He had long anticipated that someone was hidden in the dark, but he hadn't expected them to endure until this moment.

An invisible blade, constructed from Law stripping, struck first, silently cutting towards that strange blade light.

However, the owner of that blade light had clearly anticipated all of this, or rather, he was waiting for this very moment!

Just as the two world-destroying forces were about to descend, *puch!*

The owner of that shadow, with a ruthlessness and decisiveness beyond anyone's imagination, chose to self-detonate!

What he detonated was not his life core, but his arm!

Boom!!!

This Law explosion, triggered by self-mutilation, was like a bomb dropped into boiling oil, instantly stirring this already chaotic area into an even thicker, rotten porridge.

Star Lord's Star Power and Su Lei's Law Blade were both weakened by that crucial one ten-thousandth of a second in this sudden chaos.

And for top assassins and opportunists, that one ten-thousandth of a second is enough to do far too many things.

That strange blade light, seizing this fleeting opportunity created by its own blood, finally enveloped the key!

Immediately after, a slender figure leaped out from the shadow of chaotic Law. It was Three Eyes, the alien information broker who had previously bowed obsequiously to Su Lei at the Throne of Fallen Gods, offering information!

At this moment, his face no longer held its former fawning and respectful expression; instead, it was filled with an uncontrollable madness and ecstasy of success!

His three eyes, bloodshot, appeared incredibly ferocious as he stared intently at the hard-won key in his hand.

“Hahahaha!”

“Star Lord, Su Lei, Gravekeeper!”

“Thank you, three sirs, for creating such a perfect opportunity for a tiny ant like me, where the snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman benefits!”
