Boom!
As a powerful surge of Stars Energy erupted from Tendo's body, the ground beneath everyone's feet began to shake violently.
The next second, a black coffin taller than an adult burst through the air, whistling loudly as it heavily smashed into the open space in front of Tendo!
Amidst the flying dirt, the black coffin's startling weight caused spiderweb-like cracks to spread from the coffin's base, eventually covering most of the open ground and forcing the surrounding Star Frost Faction Star Envoys to retreat.
The black coffin was pitch black, engraved with complex, dark-red patterns on its surface.
These patterns, which looked as if they were drawn with blood, appeared chaotic but possessed a certain rule and order.
Faint black light seeped from the patterns, making the surrounding air icy cold, carrying a subtle sense of 'stillness' and 'despair'.
It was like an invisible black hole, devouring and confining all potential vitality nearby.
Under the black coffin's influence, the shattered ice chips and gravel around it seemed to defy gravity, floating in mid-air.
Tendo stood beside the black coffin, looking at Shuang Mo Bing and the others with an expressionless face.
His eyes were so cold they seemed to be looking at a group of inanimate corpses.
Staring at the black coffin and the silver-haired boy standing next to it, Shuang Mo Bing's heart sank sharply.
Law. He sensed the aura of Law emanating from this coffin.
Regarding the classification of 'Calamity-level', the Star Envoy Association still has various opinions even today.
Some say that Calamity-level represents a leap in life, and only those whose life level has completed a metamorphosis can be considered a qualified Calamity-level.
Others believe Calamity-level represents destruction, and only Star Envoys who can 'destroy heaven and earth' with a wave of their hand can be considered qualified.
But these are only broad descriptions. The Calamity-level standard truly accepted and recognized by most Star Envoys is the 'Domain'.
Or rather, the 'Law' that constitutes the Domain.
Because only those who completely control their own Star Source and transform it into a certain Law can single-handedly reach the level of a 'Humanoid Calamity'.
Similarly, the standard for a Calamity-level Star Tool is whether that Star Tool possesses a 'Law'.
Although the Stars Energy level of Tendo's black coffin does not seem as immense as that of a typical Calamity-level Star Tool,
The obvious Law power it contains,
Has already caused a qualitative change.
"So... he has already touched that boundary?"
Shuang Mo Bing muttered under his breath, his eyes behind the mask filled with shock.
Since encountering Tendo, Shuang Mo Bing has found that many 'common sense' facts in his memory have become ineffective when applied to him.
Though many questions remained in his heart, the current Tendo did not give Shuang Mo Bing much time to think.
As the black coffin descended, Tendo raised his hand and pressed it onto the black coffin standing vertically beside him.
The coffin lid slowly opened with a 'creak,' leaving a small gap—
Buzz!
A terrifying suction force burst out from the black coffin's gap, like a pair of invisible giant hands, instantly grasping everything around it.
In an instant, the ice layer beneath Shuang Mo Bing's feet began to crackle and shatter. The broken ice chips, and even the two nearest Star Frost Faction Star Envoys, all flew toward the coffin gap like iron filings drawn to a magnet.
And their bodies vanished the moment they touched the black light surrounding the coffin, leaving behind no residual Stars Energy.
Ignoring the deaths of his subordinates, Shuang Mo Bing looked at the black coffin on the ground, then back at Tendo standing beside the coffin.
The young boy in the Dream World still showed no emotional fluctuations on his face, his eyes remarkably calm.
It was as if dealing with two Star Envoys was merely blowing away two fallen leaves—insignificant.
Though he didn't want to admit it, Shuang Mo Bing did see the shadow of a certain 'legend' in the current Tendo.
Equally powerful, equally irreverent, and equally... dismissive of everyone.
In the eyes of monsters like them, the world truly isn't black or white.
Because if they want the world to turn black, the world must be black; if they want the world to turn white... then the world is white.
Thinking of this, Shuang Mo Bing's mind couldn't help but recall a joke once told by that 'legend' when he was young.
"Why do the strong never complain about the environment? It's because the strong are the ones who ruined the environment in the first place." - Enite, General President of the Star Envoy Association
Many people once dismissed Enite's words as a joke, not taking the then-young man seriously.
But slowly, people realized that when a person becomes strong enough, he alone can indeed determine the quality of the environment.
It was he who, single-handedly, ended that chaotic era of warlords and fragmentation.
Allowing the New Federation to regain order.
And in the current Tendo, Shuang Mo Bing saw that 'power' capable of changing the environment.
Even Tendo's potential might surpass that of the General President.
After all, the General President back then only reached the perfect Tier 3 level when he was 20 years old.
But the real-world Tendo achieved this feat at the age of 18.
This seemingly minor difference of two years, for monsters,
Two years is enough time... to change many things.
[Dimensional Comment Section]
'Lord Tendo is Lord Tendo; he really just one-shots them.'
'The patterns on the black coffin are so cool! They look like they were painted with blood—a bit scary but so awesome!'
'Lord Tendo standing next to the coffin gives off a weird 'Grim Reaper' vibe!'
'Grim Reaper Elementary Schooler? Then Lord Tendo just needs a pair of black-rimmed glasses.'
As the comments scrolled, Tendo in the picture slowly spoke.
"Well, do you want to continue?"
Hearing Tendo's words, Shuang Mo Bing looked up at Tendo.
He saw no mockery in the other party's eyes, only an inexplicable indifference.
As if continuing to tangle with them would merely be a waste of time, something he had no interest in.
Shuang Mo Bing frowned at this.
For the Star Frost Faction, whose emotions are frozen, they would indeed sacrifice everything, even their lives, to complete a mission.
But at the same time, they also value efficiency the most and will not make meaningless sacrifices.
And the current situation was that if they continued to wrestle with Tendo in the dream, they would not only fail to achieve their goal but might also completely lose their opportunity.
Because their intelligence was not only wrong, it was ludicrously wrong.
They thought Tendo would be weakened in the dream by being unable to use 'Star Source: Vector Control,' but they never expected that even without his 'Star Source,' Tendo himself was still ridiculously strong.
Strong enough for one person to completely sever all their hopes in the Dream World.
"Go!"
Without any hesitation, Shuang Mo Bing whispered fiercely, raising his hand to gather the remaining Stars Energy.
A pale blue snowstorm suddenly whipped up, acting as a barrier to block young Tendo's sight.
He turned and left, his black robe fluttering in the snowstorm, not lingering for a moment.
The remaining Star Frost Faction Star Envoys immediately followed suit.
The snowstorm soon dispersed, leaving only young Tendo and the black coffin in the open space.
The coffin lid slowly closed. The dark-red patterns gradually faded, finally shrinking into a black Rubik's Cube that fell with a clatter into young Tendo's palm.
He weighed the Rubik's Cube, then looked up toward the residential building.
The window of unit 302 glowed with a warm yellow light. He could vaguely see his grandmother's busy figure in the kitchen, and little Liuli's small head peering back and forth by the window. The corner of his mouth unconsciously curled up, his previous coldness completely gone.
After withdrawing his gaze, Tendo put the Quantum Rubik's Cube into his trouser pocket and walked toward the residential building.
