[Back to the video.]
Just as the Herrscher of the Void was about to pierce Fu Hua's heart with the Void Spear, a world-burning fire suddenly lit up the sky.
Several sword shadows fell from the clouds without warning, each one burning golden cracks into the imaginary number barrier.
"Who!"
Feeling the scorching air around her, a trace of panic flashed in the Herrscher of the Void's eyes.
She felt a power descending, one that surpassed Herrscher authority.
A crisp sound of shattering glass echoed by her ears, it was the wailing of the imaginary number barrier under her control.
The moment the Godslaying Sword, Surtr, slashed down, she involuntarily took half a step back.
"Just who... are you—"
The questioning voice was drowned out by a massive roar.
"Let. Go. Of. Her!!!"
With the roar, the Godslaying Sword's edge surged with power at that moment.
Borrowing the propulsion of the Crimson Knight armor's overload burst, Van turned into a streak of rainbow-colored light that pierced the heavens and the earth.

[In the real world.]
[Is he here?]
[He's here!!!]
[Wahh, my husband Van is finally here!]
[Holy crap, this is lit!]
[Damn it, Van, your entrance gave me, a guy, a physiological reaction.]
[Kekekeke~ Van... hubby... dominate me...]
In the video, faced with the blinding light that covered the sky, the Herrscher of the Void had no choice but to avoid the edge temporarily.
Van held Fu Hua, who was falling from the sky, with one arm, and placed her down safely to the side.
[One-armed princess carry!!!]
[Swap with me Fu Hua!!]
[Hubby's arm is too thick and strong, I can't handle it anymore!!!]
[Insane, even this broken road can be cleared?]
———
[Back to the video.]
"Hua, your current injuries can't hold on any longer, hurry and go. Leave the rest to me!"
"But clearly you also..."
BOOM!
The ground suddenly exploded, forming a pit ten meters deep. The Herrscher of the Void shot into the sky wrapped in four-colored flames.
Countless Void Spears assembled in the sky, the dense tips all aimed at the two of them.
"Go!"
Van pushed Fu Hua away and swung the Godslaying Sword single-handedly, crushing the incoming Void Spears.
"Trust me. I've got this."
The last thing Fu Hua saw was Van holding the flaming greatsword, gradually disappearing into the teleportation gate of imaginary space.
Listening to the sound of the spatial rift closing behind him, Van wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
The Godslaying Sword, Surtr, sensing its master's fighting intent, burst into flame, lighting up his pale smile, "Now... it's time to settle the score."
———
[Inside imaginary space.]
The Herrscher of the Void, descending from the sky, looked mockingly at the person in front of her.
Back then, when she had just gained the favor of the gods, she didn't know how to properly use Herrscher power.
That led to her being brutally beaten up by this man and that flat-chested woman together.
But now, the tables had long since turned.
Indeed, human power has limits. As time passes, humans weaken with age, but she, as a messenger of the gods, was different.
So, embracing the arms of the gods was the most correct decision of her life.
Feeling the weakness of the man before her, the Herrscher of the Void's heart swelled with pride.
Indeed, that overwhelming power just now must have been an illusion. Or perhaps, it was an attack this man could only release by burning his own life.
That made sense. After all, she was blessed by the gods, and her opponent was just a mere human. How could a mere human possibly defeat someone like her, a divine apostle.
"You think you can really escape judgment?"
The Herrscher of the Void sneered. "Wait. Once I deal with you, it'll be your companions' turn."
As her words fell, countless crystal clusters suddenly shot up in the imaginary space.
Van slashed them apart instantly, but then felt a powerful spatial tremor from behind.
Countless portals suddenly opened all around him.
The Herrscher of the Void sneered, tugging her fingers, and from each portal came Void Spears like venomous snakes lunging at him.
Van fought back desperately, swinging the flaming greatsword in all directions, destroying tens of thousands of Void Spears.
But before he could even catch his breath, he suddenly felt the air around him grow thick.
Next came a powerful suction from his chest.
Under the pull of the Herrscher of the Void's power, Van was thrown like a helpless puppet onto a massive purple crystal.
Bang!
The sharp sound of bones breaking was especially harsh in the imaginary space, and viewers in the real world all gasped in alarm for Van.
They couldn't believe the gap between the two sides was this vast.
Seeing Van's tragic figure in the video, everyone felt unbearably pained.
"Struggle all you want!"
The Herrscher of the Void's eyes flickered with hatred as she waved her fingers.
At the same time, the giant purple crystal enveloping Van began rotating like a Rubik's Cube.
———
[In the real world.]
Seeing this scene, everyone in front of their screens drew a sharp breath.
And when the Herrscher of the Void shattered the crystal trapping Van into fragments, as if toying with him, everyone felt suffocated.
[No! Bro!!!]
[He was fine just now, how did the situation collapse so fast?]
[Wahh, poor Van! My poor Van!]
[From earlier we could tell, Van's new armor is strong, but the burden on his body is huge.]
[I thought Otto had turned over a new leaf by gifting him armor. Now it's clear, he had bad intentions all along!!!]
[Otto should die a hundred times!!!]
———
[In the video.]
As the smoke cleared, the Herrscher of the Void arrogantly withdrew her Void Spears and turned away.
"Hmph~ So that's all the strength you had..."
Watching the screen grow darker, everyone in the real world also felt their hearts sink.
But just as people thought it was all over, the image suddenly shifted.
With a flash of golden light, a red greatsword flew toward the Herrscher of the Void.
Hearing the sound of something cutting through the air behind her, the Herrscher of the Void turned around in shock.
Herrscher of the Void, "!!!"
Seeing the greatsword just a hair's breadth from her forehead, her strong survival instinct made her hastily shift it away using Herrscher power.
The greatsword pierced through an imaginary gate and struck hard into a distant stone stele with a loud bang!
Such a heart-pounding moment made even the Herrscher of the Void's breathing grow heavy. Even more shocking, she actually heard that man's heavy breathing.
From deep within the ruins came the sound of metal scraping, covered in blood, Van used the Godslaying Sword to prop himself up, slowly rising from the rubble.
Only half of the Crimson Knight armor still clung to his body. His exposed chest revealed three broken ribs piercing through his skin, yet the hand holding the sword remained as steady as a rock.
His steps were slow, but the pressure on the Herrscher of the Void was immense.
As Van slowly approached, the video's background music began to play, "Nightglow."
"Your attacks are over, right? Now it's my turn, you've got no objections, I assume?"
———
[In the real world.]
Seeing this scene, every netizen in the real world was moved without exception, and the screen's comment barrage exploded.
[Hubby (crying voice)!!!]
[Stop fighting, I beg you all, please stop, wahhh!]
[So tragic... this BGM is too much!]
[Can Van win?]
[Van: Nah, I'd win!]
