100: Chapter 100 The Divine Envoy

"You need me?!"

Zhou An suddenly looked up, his blood-stained face twisted into a ghastly, miserable smile, as if he had just heard the biggest joke in the entire universe.

"An existence like you, who can treat galaxies like toys, needs a piece of trash like me who couldn't even protect his own teammates?!"

"I need you, but in exchange, I can also offer you help."

Hearing this, Zhou An froze for a moment, then shouted:

"Whatever you want, take it! Even if it means I'm instantly reduced to ashes, or you pull out my soul to burn as lamp oil, it's all up to you! But send me back... let me go back!!!"

His voice was filled with boundless rage, along with a despair and unwillingness that ran deep into his marrow.

Why?!

He had been so close—just a tiny bit away from succeeding!

All the top-tier materials had been gathered, and [Cloud Top Fortress] had finally completed its LV5 evolution after countless hardships.

Even at this man-eating altitude of ten thousand meters, he finally had a fortress to shelter from the wind and rain, and teammates he could entrust his back to.

What he wanted was actually not much; whether it was surviving in this absurd and cruel doomsday game or returning to the ordinary, bustling streets of Earth, all he sought was the simplest sense of security!

But now? Everything was gone.

Crimson blood mixed with scalding tears welled up in Zhou An's eyes and slid down his pale cheeks.

Deep within his mind, the images he had fought to the death to protect were flashing frantically like a carousel of memories before death—

Outside a subway station on Earth, in the breeze of early summer, his younger sister Zhou Mo held up two cups of iced lemonade, beaming a brilliant, cloudless smile at him;

On the Lianqiao Square at an altitude of ten thousand meters, amidst the interplay of colorful neon lights and cold moonlight, Luo Ning stood with her hands behind her back, the entire brilliant galaxy reflected in her eyes, casting a stunning, breathtaking glance back at him.

"Let me go back..."

Zhou An's spine finally bent completely. He painfully knocked his head heavily against the void floor, making a dull thud.

Like a child who had lost everything and was wandering in the dark, he let out a desperate and sorrowful sob:

"I promised her... I said I would..."

That massive jade hand, which had originally been suspended above the dome, blocking out the sky, silently transformed into the size of a normal human female's hand and slowly emerged from the twisted void.

The woman reached out and gently lifted Zhou An's face, which was covered in foul-smelling blood and grime. Her fingertips were extremely soft, and as if with a trace of pity, she wiped away the blood and tears from the corners of his eyes.

That hand brought no terrifying pressure, nor cold scolding; instead, it carried an incredible softness and warmth.

"Clearly as weak as dust in the wind, yet you somehow birthed an obsession capable of shaking the laws of reality. Humans are truly the most contradictory, yet most beautiful, variables in this starry sky."

That ethereal, lazy voice sounded softly in Zhou An's ear, carrying a magic that struck straight at the soul:

"You even dared to wager the traces of your existence and the essence of your soul on that balance without hesitation... So, since you have nothing left to fear losing, do you dare to make another deal with me?"

Feeling the non-mortal warmth on his cheek, the hope that had been extinguished in Zhou An's deadened eyes ignited once more.

"As long as I can save her, never mind one deal, even if it's ten thousand, I'll take them all!"

"Very well."

The woman's fingertip, carrying a trace of brilliant flowing light, tapped gently on the center of Zhou An's forehead.

"Then become my eyes in this world, become my—[Divine Emissary]."

"Boom—!!!" Accompanied by this supreme declaration that sounded like an oracle, the entire vast starry sky instantly boiled over!

The brilliance of billions of stars shone in unison at this moment, turning into a torrential stream of silver-gray star energy that was immeasurably vast.

Like a reversed galaxy, this torrent roared in from all directions, frantically pouring into Zhou An's battered and broken body!

Zhou An's cells, like a parched desert meeting sweet rain, radiated an unprecedented and terrifying vitality.

The essence of his life, which had been forcibly stripped away by the Demon Balance, was reversing and climbing back at an inconceivable speed!

Tier 3! Tier 4! Tier 5 Peak!!!

Not only did his lost, terrifying combat power return in an instant, but under the baptism of this aura, it underwent a thorough, qualitative change. His aura became even purer and more unfathomable!

Immediately after. "Snap—!" Those Hextech talents that had been crushed by the balance, as if reborn from the ashes, lit up one by one in Zhou An's sea of consciousness.

[Smallest Giant (Prismatic)]—Remolded!

[Compound Interest (Prismatic)]—Remolded!

[Level Up! (Prismatic)]—Remolded!

[War Treasure III (Prismatic)]—Remolded!

Finally, there was [Last Stand], which had once triggered a miracle in a desperate situation.

When [Last Stand] re-emerged, its color had faded from its original rainbow hue, turning into a pure white that encompassed all things in the universe!

The long-lost broadcast voice of the system rang out in Zhou An's mind again:

[System Prompt: Your talent "Last Stand" has undergone baptism!]

[Trait changed to: Eternal Sanity Anchor!]

[Effect: Your soul has been branded with the mark of a god. From now on, no matter what abyss radiation or high-dimensional corruption you suffer, your SAN value will be permanently locked at a minimum of 1 point. You will never go mad, and you will never fall!]

Feeling the terrifying power within his body, Zhou An slowly stood up.

"This is just the down payment for the deal."

The ethereal voice carried a hint of laziness.

"Since you are my emissary, you must have some credentials worth showing off."

As the words fell, a strange, intense burning sensation suddenly came from Zhou An's right arm.

He lowered his head, his pupils shrinking sharply.

He saw that his originally normal human right arm's muscles and skin were undergoing a morphological shift! The arm had completely turned a pitch-black color, and within that pitch-black darkness, countless tiny stars were slowly rotating and twinkling.

[System Prompt: You have obtained an exclusive divine ability!]

[Divine Trait Void Star Arm: You will gain "Spatial Displacement" and "Spatial Sensing". Wherever your gaze reaches, wherever the starlight touches, it is all a smooth path, ignoring physical and energy blockades!]

[Spatial Sensing is affected by the surrounding environment and your own mental power. The stronger the mental power, the stronger the spatial sensing penetration, and the wider the sensing range.]
