Chapter 775 Tenacious Until the End

"Would this suffice? It has 10,000 drops of Abaddon\'s divine blood," Hecate retrieved Abaddon\'s left arm from her interspatial ring and offered it to Vaan.

Vaan was immediately surprised by the generous offer.

"You\'re willing to gift this to me?" Vaan asked.

"If you honor your end of the deal, this thing will be of little value compared to what I will gain in the future," Hecate calmly stated.

"Thank you, Lady Hecate," Vaan accepted the gift, seeing no reason to reject it.

After giving after Abaddon\'s left arm, Hecate nodded before glancing around at the ruined space region with steadily growing dimensional cracks.

"We should leave this space region, Sir Vaan. With this many fractures and cracks, it will become unpredictable and dangerous if we linger."

"Please wait, Lady Hecate."

Hecate\'s suggestion to leave was quickly met with objection.

Within moments, her gaze promptly turned sharp and serious when she followed Vaan\'s line of sight.

Inside the dimensional crack of endless nothingness, the banished Blood Devil Abaddon had been eroded down to a tenth of his divine soul. All of his flesh, blood, bones, and most of his soul have been washed away by the power of nihility.

However, this last fragment of his divine soul stubbornly persisted, refusing to disappear with the rest.

Not only did the nihilistic power of nothingness fail to erase it from existence, but it even seemed to be tempering Abaddon\'s divine soul fragment.

Seconds quickly passed, and Abaddon\'s divine soul fragment seemed to have grown a bit—or rather, it recovered a bit of divine soul.

"You\'re kidding me… This thing can even survive and thrive inside the endless sea of nothingness? It is truly tenacious," Hecate uttered with a solemn frown.

"It has already become a partial fourth-dimensional existence, and the nihilistic power in the endless sea of nothingness is too docile to harm it," Vaan mentioned.

The power of nihility was equally destructive in its nature to erase everyone and everything from existence. Absolutely no one would ever think the endless sea of nothingness could be docile.

Only people like Vaan could think that way.

"You seem to know quite a bit about fourth-dimensional beings and nihility. I believe an exchange of knowledge with you will be quite a pleasant experience, Sir Vaan," Hecate smiled.

"I think so too, Lady Hecate," Vaan calmly smiled back.

Suddenly, Hecate chuckled self-deprecatingly, shaking her head, "I came expecting to fight a tough, dangerous battle with Abaddon. But unexpectedly, you have already resolved the biggest problem."

"Even without me, you would have eventually dealt with Abaddon, though I do not know how you pushed him to such a state. I seem to have gotten quite the big end of the stick."

"You wouldn\'t renege on our deal because of this, would you?" Hecate asked.

"Of course not, Lady Hecate," Vaan calmly smiled.

In truth, after everything he had done until now, he only had about a tenth of his soul force left.

Moving Black Mountain to block the crimson light domain alone consumed thirty percent of his soul force. It was actually such a gargantuan task to move an object of that size.

As such, even if he knew banishing Abaddon into the endless sea of nothingness could reduce him to a killable level, he wouldn\'t have enough soul force for the push. Even if he actually succeeded, he still wouldn\'t have enough soul force to deliver the final killing blow.

As such, Hecate\'s assistance was timely and definitely most welcomed in preserving his life. Otherwise, he would have fallen a tad short of surviving in the end.

Nevertheless, there was no need to mention any of this to Hecate and sell himself short.

"Since you mentioned docile nihilistic power, I suppose only violent power of nihility will destroy Abaddon once and for all. I trust I can leave that to you, Sir Vaan?" Hecate expected.

Vaan nodded.

Although he would like Abaddon to recover his third-dimensional body before killing him, there had been too many surprises up until this point.

Ultimately, it was better to end Abaddon before the situation worsened in another unexpected way.

As Blood Devil Abaddon\'s divine soul fragment tried to return to their dimension for a full recovery, Vaan conjured divinity-burning grey flames—a fusion of the Fire Law and Nihility Law.

After condensing the grey flaming spear, he immediately hurled it at Blood Devil Abaddon\'s remaining divine soul.

Naturally, Blood Devil Abaddon did not stand a chance in such a weakened state. The divinity-burning grey flames slowly obliterated him, erasing his remaining divine soul from existence.

Blood Devil Abaddon\'s remnant divine soul writhed in pain as it desperately clung to life.

However, it couldn\'t stop itself from gradually disintegrating into nothingness. Even so, it was tenacious until the end actually came.

Only after all traces of Abaddon\'s existence completely disappeared did Vaan finally confirm his death.

"It\'s finally over," Vaan softly uttered with 5% soul force remaining.

With this much soul force left, he could only maintain his basic life support in the cruel environment of the boundless void.

Although he seemed perfectly fine on the surface, he was undoubtedly in his weakest state yet.

Under this circumstance, if Hecate suddenly decided to stab him in the back, there was nothing Vaan could do to fight back. He could only helplessly accept the outcome.

Hecate glanced at Vaan\'s defenseless back and noticed its subtle feebleness.

"Kukuku, you must have exhausted everything to survive until now and deliver that final blow," Hecate suddenly chuckled and asked casually, "Aren\'t you afraid I would backstab you now, Sir Vaan? Can you really trust me, a Great Devil?"

Vaan slowly turned about with a calm smile and said, "If I couldn\'t trust you, I wouldn\'t have made a deal with you. And since I decided to trust you, I will trust you fully, Lady Hecate."

"My, you certainly have a way with words, Sir Vaan. You almost charmed me," Hecate said jokingly with a light giggle before suggesting, "Shall we head back now?"

Vaan glanced in the direction of the asteroid field region for a moment. Since he was already here, he might as well explore it after recovering some soul force.

"Can I trouble you to return and stabilize the situation back there first, Lady Hecate?" Vaan requested.

"That\'s fine with me," Hecate calmly nodded before glancing at him curiously. "But what will you do, Sir Vaan?"
