"World in the Bottle??"

"Bottle People??"

A purple-black object had suddenly appeared, emitting a massive beam of light that sent the double-bladed weapon flying. Then, it whirled as it grew larger, aiming its mouth at Magnus in the distance. Everyone was stunned.

Everyone had been focused on escaping! No one expected someone to actually use Teleportation to come *here*.

What kind of spirit was this? What kind of character did they have?

"Japan’s Divine Artifact??"

Among the netizens watching the live thread, a wielder of a particularly High-tier Divine Artifact recognized the bottle’s origin. This was Japan’s Divine Artifact, the [Nine-Phase Divine Bottle].

Earlier, they had all been wondering: with nine major powers present, why hadn’t the last one, Japan, sent anyone? They never expected that at the last possible moment, at the very brink of total annihilation, Japan would send someone.

What was going on?? Sending someone here just to die? That wasn’t Japan’s style at all!

And besides, they’d brought their national Divine Artifact with them? Hadn’t the Commander from America who brought his Divine Artifact already used Teleportation to flee long ago? What was the holder of Japan’s Divine Artifact thinking? What were they trying to accomplish?

The sudden appearance of the purple-black bottle baffled everyone. Whether they recognized the bottle’s origin or not, they were all completely dumbfounded.

"Holy crap!"

"What is that thing?"

"Its attack could actually knock away Magnus’s weapon?"

"Just a moment ago, even our Immortal Emperor’s Immortal Sword was sent flying by Magnus’s weapon..." a member of Great Xia’s [Immortal Court] cried out in shock. The power of the newly appeared bottle had far exceeded everyone’s expectations.

ROAR!!

Meanwhile, its weapon having been knocked away, Magnus’s eyes lit up upon sensing that the purple-black bottle before it was also a Divine Level item of the highest Rank. With a furious roar, it launched an all-out assault.

It swelled even larger, activated all of its skills, and gripped its glowing weapon with both hands. It charged forward ruthlessly, like a rampaging wild boar. Even the Demon army on the ground entered a Bloodthirsty state, surging forward with no regard for their own lives...

"Bring it on!!"

Inside the purple-black bottle, Shen Fei was hidden within the enlarged [Nine-Phase Divine Bottle]. The moment he teleported in, he had taken control of his remaining 100 Defense Towers and fired the Cluster Attack that sent Magnus’s weapon flying. Seeing Magnus charge at him again, Shen Fei’s eyes lit up as he immediately took out the [Array] he had been preparing for a long time.

He had 612 Defense Towers in total. The [Array] controlled five hundred of them. A moment ago, he had used an effect of his Tower Master gear to control the remaining 100 Defense Towers and fire that attack. Now, he was about to command 500 Defense Towers. With the [Array]’s enhancement, their power was amplified countless times, ready to be unleashed in an all-out assault.

Magnus! My fated enemy! My greatest inner demon! I must kill him!!!

BOOM!

He aimed the bottle’s mouth, and the Cluster Attack from 500 Defense Towers shot out.

A Cluster Attack from 100 or 200 Defense Towers was a spectacular, multicolored sight. Shen Fei never expected that when the number of consolidated Defense Towers reached 500, the resulting attack would be colorless. However, though its appearance had changed, its power had increased countlessfold.

The soaring, concentrated attack was the single most powerful strike Shen Fei had unleashed since inheriting his game abilities.

Soundless, colorless, but capable of annihilating everything.

Across the field, the fiercely charging Magnus sensed the powerful attack and stopped dead in its tracks. The massive weapon it had been holding horizontally for its charge was instantly flipped upright to be used as a shield. At the same time, Magnus’s body also began to rapidly expand. In the blink of an eye, it had grown to a height of five or six kilometers; a single one of its toes was now hundreds of meters tall.

The Demons that had been charging toward the stadium all leaped onto Magnus’s body, forming a wall in front of their master. As a Super Boss, Magnus’s senses were sharp. It instantly judged the attack to be immeasurably powerful. It had to mount a proper defense!

PFFT!

Just as it hastily adopted a defensive stance, the colorless, odorless, and utterly silent ultimate attack struck Magnus. The Demon army shielding its body vanished in an instant, melting away like snow without a trace.

Then, as Magnus watched in disbelief, a hole appeared in its powerful double-bladed weapon.

FWOOSH~

Then its chest, its neck, its head...

Without a sound, the massive, colorless attack completely obliterated the enlarged Magnus’s upper body, causing it to vanish into thin air...

FWOOSH~

Struck by a single blow, all that remained of Magnus were its four pillar-like legs. The Demon army it had summoned also vanished without a trace.

CLANG!

The nearly kilometer-long, double-bladed weapon fell and stuck into the ground at an angle.

FWOOSH~

Magnus’s four remaining legs slowly faded, disappearing without a trace...

"..."

"..."

"..."

The screeching and roaring Demon army had vanished in the blink of an eye. The entire battlefield fell utterly silent; not a single sound could be heard. Even on the once-feverish live-broadcast thread, the torrent of messages came to an abrupt halt.

Everyone was stunned.

At that moment, the entire world was united in its shock!

Everyone was dumbstruck!

A reversal! An unbelievable, world-shaking reversal! A reversal so incredible it defied all expectations!

Hidden inside the bottle, Shen Fei didn’t move. He was looking at the [Array], which, after firing the Cluster Attack, had reverted to a "Temporarily Unavailable" state. He was also pleasantly surprised to find that he could easily return the 500 Defense Towers to his inventory now that the [Array]’s effect had ended. All his Defense Towers were safely stowed away again.

More importantly, Magnus—the inner demon from his past life, the one who had annihilated the Base City with a single strike and sent him on the path to rebirth—had just died so... effortlessly. This filled Shen Fei’s heart with a whirlwind of indescribable, complex emotions.

Even more importantly, I’ve killed Magnus! And... nothing happened. Not a single trace of my secret about being reborn has been exposed...

"Honey!! I was wrong!!!"

Half a minute later, a sudden cry shattered the pin-drop silence. It was one of the athletes. When facing certain death just a moment ago, this man had not only revealed the location of his secret stash of money on the live thread, but he had even confessed to his wife that the little girl he brought home after the apocalypse was, in fact, his illegitimate daughter...

Facing death, he had confessed everything. He had even poured out all his unparalleled love for his wife. But as it turned out, he didn’t end up dying.

How am I supposed to explain this!?

While everyone else was rejoicing that they had survived, all he could think about was how he was going to explain himself when he got back...

"Greetings, everyone!!"

"This is a victory for all humankind!!"

"On behalf of all the citizens of Country F, I would like to thank this honored..."

The confessor’s anguished cry snapped everyone out of their stupor. The first to react was the Divine Artifact holder from Country F, who had been trying to escape but hadn’t gotten far... The Boss had been killed in an unbelievable reversal. Suddenly, this guy was feeling on top of the world again!

Now that the Boss is dead, I have no reason to keep people locked up anymore. I have to salvage my image...

PFFT!

But before he could finish his speech, a Cluster Attack from 100 Defense Towers shot out from the [Nine-Phase Divine Bottle] floating in the air.

FWOOSH~

A multicolored light descended upon him, and in an instant, he was vaporized, disappearing completely...

CLATTER!

The wheel-like [Napoleon Knight’s Power] he was holding fell to the ground...

SWISH!

An agile vine extended from the bottle’s mouth, pulling the fallen Divine Artifact inside. Then, the bottle danced through the air, flying over to the colossal double-bladed weapon that had crashed to the ground after Magnus’s death...

(PS: I originally wanted to split this into two Chapters, but I felt it would break the emotional momentum, so I made it one large Chapter! The New Olympic Games arc is ending soon. The next story arc will be centered directly on the protagonist and based on his invincible, steamrolling power. It won’t be like this New Olympic Games arc where the protagonist has been operating on the periphery...)
