"Your strength proves to me that I can no longer allow you to grow stronger. Now, your energy and essence will belong to me. I will devour you and inherit your power, returning to the world of light. I will shroud all middle dimensions with darkness!" The Dark Messenger spoke as ck destruction energy emanated from his body.


    After a moment of astonishment, Wilbur suddenly regained his senses and looked at the Dark Messenger, saying, "You are the Dark Lord? A clone?"


    The Dark Messenger chuckled strangely and said, "Correct. You''ve figured it out. It seems you do have some insight. Right now, you''re like a tempting morsel to me. I can''t wait to devour you."


    After speaking, the Dark Messenger shed to Wilbur''s side and grabbed his neck, lifting him up.


    "What are you doing? Let me go!" Wilbur shouted.


    The Dark Messenger''s eyes glowed with a cold light as he coldly said, "Wilbur, let us be one."


    Immediately, the Dark Messenger stomped his foot, and a cubic dark space appeared suddenly, swallowing both Wilbur and the Dark Messenger. Then, the dark space rotated and flew into the air above the inds. At this moment, Wilbur saw ck liquid continuously seeping out of the Dark Messenger''s body, climbing toward Wilbur like ivy up the Dark Messenger''s arm.


    However, at that very moment, the calm sea surface formed a vortex that revolved around Kook Ind once again. In the sky, the tendrils of energy connecting the dimensional formation reappeared, gathering white light at each of its nodes. In the next instant, dozens of beams of white lights shot toward the cubic dark space.


    The cubic dark space was struck. The entire cubic dark space was wrapped in white light the next moment, and the Dark Messenger screamed in pain as if he was being burnt.


    "Aaaaah!"


    The cubic dark space shattered into countless fragments, and the Dark Messenger, who had already melted into liquid, gradually evaporated under the white light, then coalesced and took physical form once more.


    When the white light dissipated, the Dark Messenger and Wilbur fell from mid-air to the ground.


    The Dark Messenger looked at Wilbur in pain and said, "You... Why would you do this to me?"


    At that moment, in the sky, above the formation, a golden thread condensed into a gigantic white beam of light, fiercely striking the Dark Messenger below.


    "Ah!"


    Caught off guard, the Dark Messenger could only let out a roar of anger, swiftly dodging, and then transforming into a shadow to flee the ind.


    "Wilbur, I will never let you go!" The Dark Messenger roared furiously as he departed. Meanwhile, Wilbur''s chest heaved violently. Just a moment ago, Wilbur thought he was about to die, yet he had somehow managed to escape disaster. Moreover, now Wilbur understood everything that had previously puzzled him. The reason the Light Valley had never killed him was simply because his former self had been too weak. Additionally, the formationid out by the Child of Light on the inds had not yet been breached, and the Light Helmet had not yet been retrieved.


    Now, since the Dark Messenger believed that the formationid out by the Child of Light had been breached, Wilbur no longer held any significance to Light Valley. The Dark Messenger sought to devour Wilbur and then continued as the chosen one of the Child of Light with Wilbur''s identity.


    In the future, after obtaining theplete set of Light Armor,bining the energies of the Child of Light and the Dark Lord, they would once again tear through space and return to the Light World in the middle dimensions.
