"【Stellar Return to Ruins】!"

The calm voice, resembling a deity's final judgment, echoed explosively beneath the pitch-black deep sea!

This was the top-tier fatal move left by Marshal Zhao Qingcang inside his staff.

An overbearing skill capable of distorting space and devouring everything!

"Th... What is this thing?"

Looking at the slowly emerging pitch-black sphere, Thor's eyes, transformed into lightning, showed thick shock for the first time.

His mind was frantically sounding alarms.

It was as if there was a voice in his mind, constantly roaring.

Dangerous!

Extremely dangerous!

Without even thinking, he abruptly stopped his forward-charging figure and turned to flee!

However, it was all too late.

Hum——!

An irresistible and terrifying suction force violently erupted from that black hole!

Like an invisible giant hand, it grabbed his body tightly, frantically dragging him toward the endless abyss!

"Damn it! What the hell is this thing?!"

Thor roared frantically in his heart.

He drove the remaining thunder power within his body to the extreme!

Rumble——!

The violent blue electric snakes rampaged wildly around him, transforming into a powerful counter-force, attempting to let him break free from that terrifying suction!

However, all of this was in vain.

No matter how desperately he tried, he couldn't distance himself by even a fraction.

Even his body was being mercilessly pulled closer by the black hole bit by bit!

That closely following Deep Sea Mad Shark also let out an angry roar.

Its massive body twitched irritably, stirring up terrifying undercurrents, attempting to break free from the shackles of this gravitational pull.

At the same time, it opened its blood-red maw, spitting out a blue pillar of light containing terrifying water-type energy toward the black hole!

However, the moment the blue pillar of light came into contact with the black hole, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, completely devoured by the endless nothingness!

Without stirring up a single ripple!

At this moment, the scarlet eyes of the Deep Sea Mad Shark gradually revealed fear.

It desperately swung its thick and powerful caudal fin, swimming frantically in the opposite direction.

However, all of this was in vain.

The force pulling it into the black hole was even greater than the one on Thor.

In the distance, Polina's beautiful face had long been replaced by thick shock.

She never expected that this Gandalf actually still hid such a terrifying fatal move!

The power of this strike was such that even a Hell-level BOSS had no resistance against it.

Further away, the other Hell-level BOSSes that were still frantically attacking the giant beast's corpse also stopped their actions one after another.

They looked toward the huge black hole vortex simultaneously.

Their eyes were filled with dread.

Time passed minute by minute.

Two minutes later.

Amidst its unwilling roar, the massive body of that haughty Deep Sea Mad Shark was finally completely swallowed by the black hole.

Seeing the end of the Deep Sea Mad Shark.

Thor's face was also filled with despair.

At this moment, there was only a distance of a few centimeters left before he was swallowed by the black hole.

"No! No, no, no!"

"Don't!"

As a top prodigy among the younger generation of the Freedom Federation.

He had never experienced the taste of being so close to death.

Although he was still struggling fiercely against that terrifying suction.

Yet his legs slowly entered the black hole, and were spreading toward his waist at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"I cannot die!"

"I cannot die here!"

Thor's eyes split with anger, as if he had made some kind of determination.

He abruptly pulled out that exaggeratedly shaped huge warhammer from his Storage Ring!

Afterward, without the slightest hesitation, he fiercely threw this legendary-quality weapon into the bottomless black hole!

"Explode!"

He roared, detonating the Mjölnir that had accompanied him for many years!

Rumble——!

The self-detonation of a legendary-quality piece of equipment, how terrifying was its power!

The black hole that should have devoured everything actually experienced a momentary stagnation at this very moment!

The terrifying energy impact, like a breached flood, rolled backward out of the black hole!

"Ah——!"

Bearing the brunt, Thor let out a heart-rending scream from his mouth!

However, it was precisely with the help of this terrifying explosive force that he finally broke free from the black hole's attraction!

He did not dare to stay for a single moment, transforming into a disheveled flash of lightning, fleeing hurriedly from the edge of the black hole!

At this moment, Thor no longer had half of the Thunder God's prestige.

His feet directly vanished into thin air.

Below his waist, he was blasted into a bloody and mangled mess by the terrifying explosive force, too horrific to look at!

Even his HP was less than one-tenth!

Having just taken a trip through the gates of hell.

Thor had no mind to continue chasing Gandalf.

Before he even had time to drop a harsh word, he turned into a weak flash of lightning and fled far away into the distance without looking back!

...

Above the sea surface.

Members of Great Xia Nation and Great Bear Country were standing on the deck of the steamship, waiting anxiously.

"I wonder how the captain is doing right now."

Li Hao's face was filled with worry.

"Should we go down and take a look?"

Hearing this, a team member beside him smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Forget it."

"Those who can enter that vortex are all top-tier SS-rank powerhouses."

"With our little strength, even if we went down, we would only be adding to the chaos."

Hearing this, Li Hao sighed helplessly, a trace of self-blame flashing in his eyes.

"Sigh, when all is said and done, it's just that we are too useless."

"We can't help at all."

Just as everyone was conversing.

Splash——!

A figure suddenly rushed out from the sea surface below, landing steadily on the ship's deck.

The moment everyone saw that figure clearly, their faces revealed pleasant surprise one after another!

"Captain! You're back!"

The person who arrived was none other than Gandalf controlled by Zhou Huai.

He had originally planned to swim directly out of the ruins.

But on second thought, if he just left like this.

Then these loyal team members would likely be left behind here forever.

He might as well drop by to take them out together.

Anyway, under that move 【Stellar Return to Ruins】, whether it was that Hell-level BOSS or Thor.

Even if they didn't die, they would be heavily injured.

In the short term, they probably wouldn't pose any threat.

At this moment.

Only then did everyone notice that Gandalf was still holding that golden pendulum clock filled with a sacred aura.

The pleasant surprise on their faces instantly transformed into unparalleled excitement and wild joy!

"Captain! Th... This couldn't be the legendary Pendulum of Life?!"

"You... You actually got your hands on it!"

Seeing this, the members of Great Bear Country also hurried over and asked eagerly.

"How come only you came back alone?"

"Where is Young Miss Polina?"

As soon as Zhou Huai heard the name Polina, anger welled up inside him.

This bitch really didn't harbor any good intentions.

He couldn't even be bothered to explain.

He only slowly spoke in a cold tone.

"Polina should be fine."

"Now, I'll give you ten seconds."

"Everyone from Great Bear Country on the ship, jump overboard."

"This ship has been requisitioned by us."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience was shocked.

The members of Great Xia Nation had looks of puzzlement.

"Captain, what do you mean by this?"

"Isn't Great Bear Country our friendly force?"

The complexions of the Great Bear Country members also became extremely ugly.

One of them couldn't help but step forward and question him.

"What do you mean by this?!"

"Don't forget, we were the ones who saved your people onto the ship earlier!"

"Now you want to repay kindness with enmity?"

Hearing this, Zhou Huai sneered disdainfully.

"Precisely because you saved my team members earlier, I didn't kill you."

"Don't dawdle with me, I'm starting the countdown."

"If you don't want to jump, then don't jump."

"Stay behind and make ice sculptures for me."

"Ten..."

"Nine..."

"Eight..."

Seeing that Gandalf didn't look like he was joking.

The members of Great Bear Country could only exchange unwilling glances and chose to jump overboard one after another.

After only the people of Great Xia Nation remained on the ship.

Only then did Zhou Huai begin to control the water current beneath the steamship.

Hum——!

The entire steamship violently trembled without any warning!

The next second.

Amidst everyone's stunned gazes, this steamship, which should have sailed smoothly, flew off like an arrow leaving a bow toward the exit of the ruins!
