Chapter 502-Slaying the Overlord of the End: Peace Across the Cosmos (Finale)

The Overlord of the End burst into manic laughter.

Then, without warning, he roared,

"Die!"

"All of you can die!"

"I'll destroy every last one of you right here!"

At that moment—

a colossal projection appeared behind him.

It was none other than the World-Ending Iser.

And its power had already reached the Half-Step Supreme God level!

"ROAR!"

The Overlord of the End let out a furious roar.

The projection of the World-Ending Iser immediately descended upon John with overwhelming force.

Yet John merely stood there with his hands behind his back.

He didn't dodge.

He didn't defend.

He didn't even move.

He simply allowed the attack to strike him head-on.

BOOM!!!

The terrifying power swallowed John's entire body.

But a moment later—

his figure emerged completely unharmed.

Not even a scratch could be seen on him.

The Overlord of the End stared at him in disbelief.

John, however, looked at him as though he were already dead.

"Surprised?"

"An attack like that is far too weak."

"It's not even worth mentioning."

The moment his words fell—

the myriad Laws of the cosmos surged together.

In an instant, they condensed into an enormous palm.

The Law Palm stretched across the entire Chaos Sea.

Its terrifying aura descended from above.

Only then did the Overlord of the End realize—

the surrounding space-time had already been completely sealed.

There was nowhere to run.

Nowhere to escape.

The gigantic palm had already covered everything around him.

John lowered his hand.

"Die."

BOOM!!!

The colossal Law Palm crashed down like the heavens themselves collapsing.

The Overlord of the End's body shattered instantly.

At the same time—

countless Laws erupted.

Space.

Time.

Destruction.

Creation.

Life.

Death.

Every kind of Law intertwined and tore through what remained of his body.

His flesh was annihilated.

His soul was erased.

His very existence was ground away.

The Overlord of the End—

fell.

John spoke calmly.

"The World-Ending Iser may be the opportunity those Half-Step Supreme Gods prepared for their breakthrough into the Supreme God Realm..."

"But why couldn't it also become my opportunity?"

"The difference is—"

"this time, I'm not the one trying to destroy everything."

"Those Half-Step Supreme Gods are."

The next instant—

John released his Divine Sense.

BOOM!

It instantly enveloped the entire Chaos Sea.

Then—

he began devouring it.

Madly.

Endlessly.

To everyone's disbelief, the vast Chaos Sea truly began to disappear into John.

Its boundless waters rapidly shrank.

At the same time—

within the domain of the World-Ending Iser—

after absorbing the essence left behind by the Overlord of the End, the World-Ending Iser continued evolving.

Its growth progress soared.

98%.

99%.

99.9%!

But just then—

a vast presence suddenly descended.

The Cosmic Will appeared.

In the next instant, its power transformed into endless Lightning Tribulation and completely surrounded the area.

It was—

the Cosmic Will Tribulation!

Then—

a barefoot Sovereign suddenly appeared.

His body radiated Half-Step Supreme God divine power powerful enough to rival the Cosmic Will itself.

His expression was incomparably solemn as he stared at the tribulation before him.

Immediately afterward—

two more figures appeared.

One was a muscular bald man whose entire body was covered in mysterious runes.

"Perfect timing."

The bald man frowned as he looked toward the Cosmic Will Tribulation.

"If the World-Ending Iser wishes to evolve into the World-Ending Blood Lotus..."

"then it must indeed undergo an Ascension Trial."

The final newcomer was an old man.

White hair.

Youthful features.

Tattered robes.

His entire body radiated the aura of a Half-Step Supreme God.

Yet his eyes remained half-closed at all times.

Even when staring directly at the Cosmic Will Tribulation—

he barely opened them.

"The battle in the Chaos Sea has ended."

The old man's hoarse voice sounded.

"The Cosmic Will Tribulation stands before us."

"And Sovereign Jie is approaching from behind."

"We cannot underestimate either one."

Hearing this—

the others grew even more solemn.

...

[Ding! You have completely devoured the Chaos Sea!]

[Notice: You have reached the Half-Step Supreme God Realm!]

[Ding...]

[Welcome back, Master.]

[This humble system's service ends here.]

[May everything go smoothly for you, Master.]

[May you ascend to the Supreme God Realm soon.]

...

The Chaos Sea—

had completely vanished.

And the moment it disappeared—

those final system notifications rang beside John's ears.

It was...

the system's final farewell.

John smiled faintly.

Half-Step Supreme God.

At last.

"I've finally reached the summit."

He paused.

Then shook his head.

"No."

"I've returned to the summit."

A trace of nostalgia flashed through his eyes.

"You old schemer... God of Magic."

"I kept my promise."

The Half-Step Supreme God Realm—

stood above even the Peak Sovereign Realm.

At this level, one possessed power comparable to the Cosmic Will itself.

Only a true Supreme God stood higher.

A Half-Step Supreme God possessed an eternal, undying body.

Ten thousand calamities could descend—

yet they would remain indestructible.

With a single thought—

they could recreate entire rivers of space-time.

They stood at the absolute summit...

among the beings who already stood at the summit of existence.

John's Divine Sense returned to the domain of the World-Ending Iser.

"The Cosmic Will Tribulation?"

"The World-Ending Iser is about to ascend to the Supreme God level..."

"And evolve into the World-Ending Blood Lotus."

A sharp gleam flashed through John's eyes.

Whoosh!

His figure vanished.

When he appeared again—

he had already arrived at the World-Ending Iser's domain.

But at that very moment—

the Cosmic Will Tribulation was raging.

RUMBLE!!!

CRACK!!!

The power of the Cosmic Will transformed into endless bolts of Lightning Tribulation and descended from the heavens.

It fell like a violent storm.

Like an overturned sea of lightning.

Like the heavens collapsing upon the world.

It was—

the apocalypse itself.

BOOM!

Sovereign Yanwu suddenly appeared directly above the World-Ending Iser.

His incomparably powerful physical body expanded rapidly.

He used his own flesh to block the Lightning Tribulation.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Lightning repeatedly struck him.

Even with his terrifying body, Sovereign Yanwu cried out in pain.

His face twisted violently.

Meanwhile—

the barefoot expert holding a bamboo staff raised his weapon.

The bamboo staff instantly extended without limit.

It pierced straight toward the clouds of Cosmic Will Lightning Tribulation.

On the other side—

the old man's body split into thousands upon thousands of incarnations.

Every incarnation fought barehanded.

Palm after palm.

Fist after fist.

Every strike shattered another bolt of descending Cosmic Will Lightning Tribulation.

The majestic tribulation of the Cosmic Will—

was actually being suppressed by three Half-Step Supreme Gods!

But just then—

Whoosh!

Another figure appeared.

John.

The three Half-Step Supreme Gods were still attacking the Cosmic Will Tribulation.

They didn't even need to turn around.

Their Divine Sense had already detected John's arrival.

"It's Sovereign Jie!"

The barefoot expert holding the bamboo staff suddenly revealed a trace of painful remembrance in his eyes.

Memories he clearly didn't wish to recall.

"This is bad!"

"That monster arrived this quickly?!"

The bald Sovereign's expression changed when he sensed John.

Even he couldn't remain calm.

"Sovereign Jie..."

"He refined the Chaos Sea far faster than expected."

The old man's expression also shifted slightly.

John calmly looked at the three of them.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Their names instantly surfaced within his recovered memories.

He first looked toward the bald man.

"Sovereign Yanwu."

Then—

he turned toward the barefoot man carrying the bamboo staff.

"Sovereign Yuqiao."

Finally—

his gaze landed upon the old man.

"Sovereign Zixiao."

John smiled.

"It's been..."

"a long time."

Suddenly—

brilliant light erupted from John's eyes.

An incomparably vast amount of Law power gathered around him.

Countless Laws converged.

Merged.

Condensed.

Until once again—

they became an enormous Law Palm.

A palm whose might had already reached the very peak of the Cosmic Will!

The instant it appeared—

BOOM!!!

Even the Cosmic Will Tribulation trembled.

Space-time shattered.

All things fell silent.

Existence itself seemed to approach annihilation.

John slowly lowered his hand.

"Suppress."

RUMBLE!!!

The gigantic palm descended!

It crashed directly toward the three Half-Step Supreme Gods.

Sovereign Zixiao was the first to collide with it.

BOOM!

His physical body exploded.

Flesh.

Bones.

Soul.

Everything shattered into dust.

Sovereign Yuqiao followed.

His Law power collapsed instantly upon contact with the colossal palm.

His entire body disintegrated into ash.

Then came Sovereign Yanwu.

The Half-Step Supreme God's supposedly indestructible body—

collapsed.

His flesh shattered.

His soul extinguished.

His Dao vanished.

Dead.

Three Half-Step Supreme Gods—

destroyed with a single palm.

But—

John wasn't finished.

He abruptly looked toward the heavens.

"COSMIC WILL!"

"GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY!"

John roared.

Then—

the heaven-covering Law Palm suddenly changed direction.

It swept straight toward the Cosmic Will's tribulation clouds.

SLAP!!!

The entire Cosmic Will Tribulation—

was sent flying.

The vast sea of tribulation clouds was literally slapped far into the distance.

The manifestation of the Cosmic Will stared at John in shock.

"Sovereign Jie..."

"How have you become this powerful?!"

John rolled his eyes.

"What kind of stupid question is that?"

"I've lived two lives!"

"If I still weren't this strong, that wouldn't make any sense!"

"And how the hell would I explain that to the readers?!"

With that—

Whoosh!

John disappeared.

He instantly appeared before the World-Ending Blood Lotus.

He stared at the lotus.

Then slowly extended his hand.

BOOM!!!

An incomparably vast amount of energy surged into John's body.

He began absorbing everything contained within the World-Ending Blood Lotus.

His aura rose.

Again.

Again.

And again.

Higher.

Higher.

Higher!

Until finally—

RUMBLE!!!

An aura that transcended even the Cosmic Will erupted across existence.

At that instant—

John crossed the final boundary.

Supreme God Realm!!!

He had become—

a Supreme God.

The moment John ascended—

the universes that had been disintegrating suddenly began repairing themselves.

Shattered rivers of space-time reconnected.

Broken timelines healed.

Collapsed universes were restored.

And the endless blood rain filling the heavens—

changed.

The murderous crimson rain transformed into radiant Sacred Rain.

The rain that had once destroyed life—

now nourished it.

Wherever it fell—

new life blossomed.

Withered lands recovered.

Dead forests became green again.

Countless living beings felt their vitality surge.

Across the myriad universes—

all beings stared upward in disbelief.

They had survived.

Not only had they survived—

they had even received the blessing of a Supreme God.

Their worlds would become even more prosperous in the future.

Never in their lives had they witnessed such mercy from a being standing at the absolute peak.

One after another—

countless beings fell to their knees.

Their voices echoed across worlds.

"Long live the Supreme God!"

"We shall honor you for all eternity!"

"Your divine name shall be passed down forever!"

"Your glory shall never fade!"

John merely glanced at them.

He didn't say a single word.

Whoosh!

His figure disappeared.

And from that day onward—

the endless wars came to an end.

The blood rain vanished.

The rivers of space-time stabilized.

The myriad universes returned to peace.

At last—

the cosmos knew peace once more.

—THE END—
