[SYSTEM SHUTTING DOWN]

The mech which Li Tianluo was riding is about to meet its end.

He faces everything head-on as he tries to block it, even if it's only partial. He was willing to bet everything on that one suicidal attack, hoping that he could stop or miraculously divert its trajectory.

Blinded by the approaching darkness within a few meters of distance, Li Tianluo has been fully devoured by the thousand dragons of the Unfettered Heavenly Demon.

The dragons didn't stop just after devouring the white mech along with its rider; it continued to swarm its way in a straight line.

In less than 30 seconds, Li Tianluo's planet will be devoured by the Heavenly Demonic Dragons.

The Unfettered One glanced at the floating pieces of the mech within the dragon's body, and there, he heard a faint heartbeat.

*BADUM*

*BADUM*

From within that darkness lies the venerable counterpart.

"As expected. You're still alive."

5 seconds before the dragons reached his home world. A burst of dark and light lightning struck the Heavenly Demon's Dragons cutting them off right in the middle.

The Unfettered One saw his dragons get cut in half. The other end that holds the dragon's head severed from its source slowly disintegrates into oblivion as it returns to its source.

The Unfettered Heavenly Demon, Li Tianluo, sucked his released Qi back into his palm like an endless black hole.

*FWIP*

Upon having retrieved it, he closed his palm, retracting back his reach, staring at his fist for a second before he gazed over to his front.

"To who do I owe the pleasure of such an important audience?"

He spoke sarcastically as he averted his gaze, looking towards the being from a distance.

The being answered in a monotonous voice.

[REBOOTING SYSTEM]

[INITIATING EMERGENCY PROTOCOL]

The broken mech has been fully transformed into a human-sized mecha. With the heart of its rider as its source, it stared at the distance with particles of light flowing over its entire body. Its broken wings were fully rejuvenated and transformed into the full-fledged wings of an otherworldly angel.

[COMBAT MODE REQUIRED FOR THE HOST'S SURVIVAL]

[CALCULATING... FINDING PERFECT WEAPON IN THE INVENTORY]

[ZERO FOUND... RECALCULATING ALTERNATIVE]

[ONE FOUND]

[PULLING (LEVIATHAN) OUT OF THE INVENTORY]

Li Tianluo, the venerable immortal, waited for it to finish before acting out; he crossed his arms in boredom.

[RECALIBRATING (LEVIATHAN) INTO DEATH'S JUDGMENT]

The monotonous sound stopped momentarily as it reached out its arms. It's hands wide open.

It then moved its hands in a parallel circular motion.

[ENHANCING... SUCCESSFULLY ENHANCED]

Li Tianluo uninterestingly looked at the configuration being materialized within its hands, floating in deep space.

[OPERATION LAST STARDUST INITIATED]

Suddenly, the orb within its hands exploded into several metallic alloys, splashing everywhere liquidise like molten metal.

*BOOM!*

The raining liquidise metal has started to reach Li Tianluo only to disappear in white vapour as it reaches a certain range of his aura.

"You're taking too long."

Li Tianluo disappeared right after the last drop of alloy, only to be found right in front of the other human-size mecha.

"Why are you taking so long to build a goddamn sword?"

He stared eye to eye as he grabbed both of its hands with one of his.

Clasping it together, putting a stop to its configuration.

"I don't have time for games as childish as this."

Li Tianluo loosened his grip, leaving the being's hands destroyed. He then completely let it go, turning his back on it.

His feet slid into the empty void as he half-turned his body towards it, reaching out his left hand with a flick aimed at its heart.

"Bang."
