The explosion dissipated, and the surrounding scene was swept clean, leaving nothing but ice.
Ron was now very steadily hiding behind a frozen house, watching the center of the explosion.
The ground there still flickered with residual dazzling electrical currents, and the terrifying cold wind still raged, capable of easily freezing a person into an ice sculpture in three seconds.
In the middle, the Dark Offspring's huge body was completely torn apart from the center; its upper and lower body were already in two pieces, and countless tentacles were broken, shattered, and turned into ice residue.
It could be said that two-thirds of that hundred-meter-long giant body had been destroyed, leaving only the lower half of the body and those three thick legs.
The remaining body tissues had also turned into ice sculptures at this moment, completely sealed.
"We won! We won! We're saved!" Seeing this scene, all the survivors in the library were incredibly excited, and many even hugged each other and began to celebrate.
Evan's family hugged each other and let out a deep sigh of relief, but then they fell into grief.
Because they didn't see Silas here.
Not seeing him here meant…
Silas, sitting on the throne, did not move. His vision saw that the Dark Offspring was not dead at this moment but still had a considerable amount of activity.
And due to a special reason, its body had no vital points. As long as some tissue existed and was given enough energy, it could quickly recover its complete form.
Maa rua Gula!
Just then, the frozen Dark Offspring once again emitted a strange sound.
Instantly, the surrounding frozen Great Devouring Wyrms suddenly broke free from the ice's restraint and frantically writhed towards this direction.
And the small monsters previously produced by the Dark Offspring, although their bodies were frozen, suddenly turned into a pool of black water at this moment, seeping into the Dark Offspring's body along the ground.
Hundreds of Great Devouring Wyrms rushed over and enveloped the Dark Offspring in the middle.
It could be seen that the Great Devouring Wyrms that came into contact with the Dark Offspring were quickly sucked dry, finally turning into strange crystals that completely shattered and dissipated.
And as it continuously absorbed, the Dark Offspring quickly broke free from the ice. Its body also recovered rapidly and even became stronger.
The three legs below had now become four, and even two ferocious giant claws had evolved from those tentacles.
Silas sat on the throne very calmly, did not stop it, and carefully observed its structure, analyzing the knowledge within.
"So that's how it is. The body structures of creatures from beyond the astral plane are all like this. There is no actual flesh; they are purely aggregates of knowledge and laws. This is the most powerful and pure form. Freed from the shackles of the flesh, they thus obtain infinite extension and lifespan."
"If that's the case, humans should also tend towards this form when growing in the mystical direction. Accumulate knowledge and energy, gradually construct their own laws of knowledge, and finally, with laws as the carrier and knowledge as consciousness, form a brand new highest form."
"However, this form is not complete. Such boundaries are too vague, making it easy for one's consciousness to collapse, or even go mad and lose oneself."
While Silas was deep in thought, the Dark Offspring had completely recovered and was even stronger than before.
And the price was the death of all the Great Devouring Wyrms.
This time, the Dark Offspring was no longer passive. Its newly evolved large claws suddenly opened.
Instantly, a huge black shadow appeared out of thin air, instantly enveloping the entire city.
This black shadow was similar to the ability that had instantly destroyed the entire Holy Blood Cathedral before, only its power and scale were even greater than before.
"How is this possible!" The people in the Holy Learning Library stared wide-eyed upon seeing this.
They had experienced it once in the library. When attacked at that time, the entire library had let out a painful groan, as if it couldn't bear it.
If it were to happen again with even greater power, they would definitely die.
Silas slightly raised his head and saw countless stars and various twisted celestial phenomena in this pitch-black shadow.
Seeing this scene, Silas suddenly felt a bit nostalgic for the astronomy documentaries he had seen on Earth.
The nostalgia flashed by; what he needed to do now was to protect the entire city.
This time, Silas prepared to act himself.
He was only seen casually raising his long spear and then casually throwing it out.
The long spear, as if possessing its own consciousness, flew out dragging a long tail and struck a large bell.
Dong!
Instantly, a bell sound unlike any before suddenly rang out. The bell sound was still deep, still distant.
However, this sound was simultaneously filled with an incomparably powerful inner force.
Ripples spread out. Silas, through his authority, quickly adjusted and controlled the ripples.
In just the blink of an eye… Crack! Crack! Crack!
The starry black shadow in the sky, which had not yet fully condensed, suddenly shattered like broken glass, and finally, with a crash, completely disappeared.
The world-ending attack thus ended.
This attack instantly stimulated the Dark Offspring, which had little intelligence to begin with.
It was only heard screaming, its claws frantically grabbing towards this direction, simultaneously bringing a strange liquid and the black shadow attack from before.
"That black shadow involves knowledge related to material existence, similar to an annihilation effect. And this viscous liquid should have inherited Shub's ability, capable of easily assimilating all substances it touches."
Upon seeing this, Silas immediately knew the countermeasure.
"Warriors, it's up to you," Silas casually propped up an Evening Bell's Blessing, blocking all the black shadow attacks and assimilating viscous liquid outside, watching the show quietly like a high and mighty emperor.
This group of knights had very diverse fighting styles. They not only possessed the power to control storms but could also use White Frost, transform themselves into mist, and form different weapons through White Frost for different attacks. The giant wolves they rode could also spew cold air for attack and defense.
Under the continuous coordinated attacks of dozens of knights, the Dark Offspring's flesh was constantly cut, frozen, and shattered.
However, this fellow seemed to possess infinite self-healing; all its injuries would heal at a very fast speed.
"What kind of monster is this!" Everyone was astonished upon seeing such a battle.
This self-healing ability was too terrifying.
As the battle deepened, Silas, through his own vision, also gradually analyzed this bizarre self-healing ability.
"Extra-domain form, its origin lies in the astral plane beyond the domain. As long as the form and laws of the material world are completely fixed, it can continuously absorb energy from the astral plane for self-healing. To completely eliminate it, it must be eliminated from its roots and concept. On the other hand, the concept of death and life does not exist beyond the domain. So, the boundary between life and death as we know it does not apply to them. Simply put, do not use our worldview to judge and measure the forms and standards of this group of aliens."
Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Silas's mouth. "Although you have no concept of death, those resentful souls you absorbed do, those sacrifices do. Then… let me grant you the concept of death!"
Silas said, then turned his head and fixed his gaze on the great bell of the temple.
