Chapter 59: Conclusion, Which Is Actually a Beginning – Section 4

The black threads shot out like explosions; it was hard to believe they had been a living being just a second earlier. In an instant, even the sky was obscured. Hei Fa only felt darkness before his eyes—as he had already been completely within the enemy’s attack range. All around, there were threads as sharp as needles.
These were things he had once possessed!!
With just one glance, Hei Fa’s expression changed drastically. He was all too familiar with these black threads. Once, it was these terrifying threads that helped him overcome one difficulty after another, enabling him to grow from nothing to something strong. But ever since he evolved to a new stage, these threads seemed to have left him. He never expected to see them again—here, on his enemy, the clone!!
In the blink of an eye, Hei Fa’s mind raced, and he thought of Hong Yan’s miserable lower body. Suddenly, he understood.
It turned out he had misinterpreted things. Hong Yan wasn’t his test subject but the clone!! It was this clone, driven by its own selfish desires for greater power, that had brought Hong Yan to such a tragic fate. His earlier judgment was now confirmed—the clone was the one who had left the training nest ahead of time!!
Suddenly, Hei Fa felt as if his chest had exploded. A surge of rage filled his heart, turning his eyes blood-red. Yet against those exploding black threads, he was utterly helpless.
Because he knew too well the power of those threads. They were neither biological tissue nor machinery, but some kind of bizarre existence. In fact, even with the technological power of Death Star, it was impossible to determine their nature. But one thing was certain: they were invincible.
Yes, the black threads were fragile, as fragile as glass. But once pierced by their sharpness, even the strongest armor in the universe would become as weak as paper. That was the power of the black threads—a paradox of strength and weakness. And right now, Hei Fa was at his weakest. Without Ya Zi, relying solely on his physical strength, he was no match for the black threads!
But that didn’t mean Hei Fa would sit idly by. In the blink of an eye, he tapped his toes and flew hundreds of meters away, using a evasion technique usually reserved for mechs—three-stage sliding.
“Dada da da da!”

A dull thud echoed through the air. Along the path of Black Hair’s retreat, hundreds of strands of black silk gathered like javelins and descended from the sky, plunging into the ground. Amidst the intense vibrations, countless rocks and soil were thrown up as if by an explosion, creating a truly astonishing spectacle. As Black Hair continued to retreat at high speed, more strands of black silk gathered in the sky and were shot downward.

This was a battle with no chance of victory. The clones transformed into black silk had no fixed form at all, making it impossible for Black Hair to strike them. Compared to his own black silk, those of the clones were as fragile as eggs.

Yet, the more desperate the situation, the calmer Black Hair became. His lips were tightly pressed together, and he said not a word. His agile body moved with mechanical precision, effortlessly dodging each strand of black silk that descended at the last moment. Two full minutes passed, and his movements remained consistent—there was not a hint of exhaustion. His warrior’s will pushed his physical strength beyond its limits.

Unfortunately, in contrast to his mechanical dodging, the clones’ black silk seemed weaker. As time went by, the strands in the sky grew sparser. From a thick mass at first, only a few strands remained—too few to form bundles, let alone pierce anything. After ten minutes of continuous dodging, the sky finally settled again. With a dull thud, the clone reappeared in the air before crashing down in disarray. It was then that Black Hair realized his golden armor had vanished—now he was completely naked, just as anyone is at birth.

“Is this how you show off your elegance?” Black Hair asked in a hoarse voice, frowning. His chest heaved like a bellows, and he could barely stand. He had relied solely on willpower during the battle, and now that it was over, his strength melted away like ice under the sun at lightning speed.

Regrettably, the clone was in even worse condition than Black Hair. Otherwise, he would have been able to defeat Black Hair, who now had no strength left. His body was covered in wounds, resembling a baby’s mouth. The clone lay on the ground like a corpse. Hearing Black Hair’s mockery, he barely lifted his head, revealing a disdainful smirk.

“…Is… my elegance… not graceful now?”

“…” Black Hair remained silent, but his murderous intent grew stronger. Slowly, he stepped forward one by one, his clenched fists making cracking sounds.

“It seems… the end has come…” Hearing this voice, he sensed a fierce killing intent. The clone seemed to understand something. It let out a long sigh and lowered its head. “But… there’s no need for you to go through the trouble… Black Hair…”
“Hm?” Black Hair was stunned, a badpremonition creeping into his heart.
“What do you mean?”
“What do I mean?” The clone seemed near exhaustion, its voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz—barely audible without concentration. Yet its presence was even more powerful than when it was still an emperor, exuding supreme dominance.
“I… may be your clone. But… I’m not you…”
“Yes, I’m not you… I’m not a copy of anyone…”
“So, I created the Moore Empire with my own hands… My achievements are beyond even those of gods…”
“Remember my name, Black Hair. I am Reddy! The greatest emperor in the universe, the conqueror Reddy!!”
“Reddy?” Black Hair murmured, repeating the name. It was the first time he had heard the clone’s true name. At the same time, he began to understand what the clone meant.
Not wanting to be a copy of anyone, yet still being one’s own clone. Perhaps Reddy’s life was filled with sins. But in a way, he was also a pitiful man—a man who wanted to prove himself! Only his method of proving himself was so unconventional.
Could destroying himself and taking his place prove anything? Black Hair raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion.
“Alright, Reddy. Do you have any last words?”
“Hehe…” Hearing Black Hair’s indifferent tone, Reddy laughed—a scornful smile.
“Last words? Foolish original… Yes, very foolish, extremely foolish… Haven’t you realized by now? A being as great as me, an emperor nobler than gods, certainly doesn’t need your pity.”
As he spoke, Reddy’s body convulsed as he struggled to lift one hand, pointing upward.
“The sky…”
“The sky?” Black Hair raised his head, looking in confusion. Apart from dark clouds, he saw nothing. But Reddy’s next words changed his expression drastically.
“The sky… is about to shatter.” Reddy’s scornful smile remained, but his skin grew increasingly gray. The flame of life was fading from him at a visible pace. Seizing Black Hair’s shock, he turned his finger downward.
“The earth… will also crumble…”

“Wait!!” In an instant, the black-haired man seemed to understand something and couldn’t help but shout to stop them. Unfortunately, the Red-Eyed man was no longer someone he could stop, and in fact, even if he killed him, it wouldn’t solve anything.
Because the origin of those two sentences came from the Red-Eyed man himself!!
Do you remember? The Red-Eyed man once said that this space was created by him. So according to the laws of space, unless it’s permanently stabilized, the death of its master means the collapse of the space. The Red-Eyed man was about to die, and the black-haired man and the red-haired woman would be his accomplices in death.
No one, absolutely no one, could stop this process, because it was irreversible…
The laws of space.
“Boom!!”
At that moment, a thunderclap suddenly erupted in the sky. Then, clusters of dark clouds shattered like sugar cubes. The light twisted violently, and in just a short while, the sky disappeared, replaced by a vast starry sky. The planet’s atmosphere had been destroyed.
Meanwhile, the earth trembled violently. In the intense earthquakes, large areas of land collapsed and sank, forming bottomless abysses. Not far from the black-haired man and the Red-Eyed man, a giant volcano appeared out of nowhere, spewing molten rock.
Looking around, everywhere was a scene of apocalyptic destruction.
Yet in this chaotic environment, the black-haired man and the Red-Eyed man seemed like two completely unaffected outsiders, still standing quietly. The molten rock flowed past them, bending their hair, but neither of them moved. They simply waited quietly for the end of the world.
By this point, both of them knew it was too late. Death was imminent. No matter how deep their hatred was, the ultimate outcome was the same. This was the end of their lives. The only difference was that neither of them was ordinary; facing death, they remained calm, as if they had been waiting for this day all along.
Unfortunately, fate seemed to deliberately mock them, refusing even this peaceful ending. Just as the black-haired man was about to close his eyes, a sudden shock appeared nearby. The earth split in two with a roar. The black-haired man saw a crystal ball flash by and fall to the ground.
“Red-Eyed woman!!”
“Tia!!”
Their voices rang out one after another…
