Doomsday Jigsaw Puzzle

Chapter 557: Chapter 174: The Existence That Can Defeat the Seventh Consortiums

The Well World is strikingly different from reality; two spaces cannot be connected unless through a special link.

That means, under normal circumstances, a person would never appear alongside their Evil Fallen Body within their lifetime.

Bai Wu was quite looking forward to this experience.

However, after sorting through Omega’s plans, one question greatly concerned him.

"The Rebel Army... are they your people?"

"You are quite perceptive," Omega did not deny.

After a slight pause, he continued,

"Those who go to the third layer of the Well World actually have means of communication with the second layer of the Well World."

"There is infighting among the Seventh Consortiums inherently, and there is a saying you might have heard, the competition between two companies may be the contest of two nations."

"It is the same on the second layer of the Well World, behind the competition between two companies, might be the contest of two Consortiums on the third layer."

"Similarly, the backers behind the Rebel Army are also me."

Bai Wu nodded, feeling somewhat surprised in his heart.

Bai Xiaoyu has done well.

In Bai Wu’s view, the Rebel Army was equivalent to the Investigation Corps of this world.

But Bai Xiaoyu, he was truly the commander in the full sense of the word.

Of course, Omega is Omega, Bai Xiaoyu is Bai Xiaoyu.

It seemed Omega knew what Bai Wu was thinking,

"Don’t forget something, my human form has lived for many, many years, although he looks very young, in reality, he is the eldest one in your Investigation Corps."

"The longer he lives, the longer I live, from the downfall of the previous civilization, until before humans moved into the High Tower, the third layer of the Well World, was almost devoid of life."

Bai Wu noticed the word almost rather than an absolute, implying that on this third layer, there exist beings even older and more powerful than Omega.

"So in a sense, I have been in this world for a very long time, I am an ancestor-level existence."

"As for everything about you, I know a lot, partly from observation and partly from intelligence."

Without any more doubts, Bai Wu summed it up in his mind: Omega was like an old-timer from the third layer of the Well World.

Seven hundred years ago, the High Tower appeared, and the first to enter was Xu Wei.

It was then that the Well seemed to have been connected to the High Tower. And that was when the Evil Fallen Bodies began to appear on the third layer of the Well World.

But afterwards... a large number of humans died, leading to the death of a large number of Evil Fallen Bodies as well.

However, Bai Xiaoyu was among the very few...who lived for seven hundred years.

And unlike Cain, who had the potential to become an Evil Fallen, Bai Xiaoyu almost certainly had eliminated this possibility, which in turn meant that Omega not only lived for a long time but also possessed T0-level talent.

Suddenly, a rift appeared in the different space.

At that moment, another new person split off from Omega, this time an old man.

Over seven hundred years, Bai Xiaoyu was imprisoned in solitude, often in despair with emotions hitting rock bottom; during such times, he would imagine a goal.

It was then that Bai Wu remembered, perhaps the female body that had split off not long before was a nurse Bai Xiaoyu had once imagined.

"Your true form is too brutal... I don’t want to follow,"

The speaker was Omega, but the Split Body of Omega coughed:

"So you’d send an old man instead? Cough cough cough... The world is cold, human hearts have changed."

"Old timer, sorry to put this on you, but I really shouldn’t meet him. You see... this scar still hasn’t healed."

Omega was quite polite to his own Split Body. fгeewebnovёl.com

The old man seemed unwilling, but as the arm cannot twist the thigh, one was the main body and the other a Split Body...

Eventually, the two had a friendly discussion, and the meeting came to a successful conclusion.

Watching them, Bai Wu found it somewhat amusing, but a note from Prayle’s Eye made Bai Wu realize the complexity of Omega.

[Although he is a Split Body, possessing part of the main body’s abilities, he also has his unique abilities, which are completely random, so much so that even the main body doesn’t know what abilities the Split Body will manifest... Who wouldn’t envy such a being? Comes with a gacha feature, might even pull an SSR card.]

So, was Omega essentially a walking Evil Fallen Body factory?

Over those seven hundred years, Omega’s abilities have indeed been innumerable, so it is no surprise regarding the intelligence gathering capabilities between the two worlds.

In the end, the old man grumbled and reluctantly opened up the dimensional rift in this space.

Even this easygoing elder who knew his destiny, even though he was a created Split Body, still did not wish to face that cruel Evil Fallen king.

Meanwhile, Omega traveled through another rift to the Stone Forest where the Evil Fallens gathered.

...

...

Inside the Mist, deep within the sea.

Inside the immense Ark, a barrier separated the sea water.

Huge oceanic Evil Fallens capable of awakening a human’s thalassophobia loomed in the endless darkness, occasionally opening their massive eyes and pressing their enormous pupils against the wreckage of the Ark.

This Ark was no longer intact.

Its casino had been severed, and despite its still considerable size, its dilapidation could not be concealed.

There was no longer any living thing inside the Ark, but not long ago, a ray of golden light had entered it.

Not much later, a man and a woman arrived inside the Ark.

These days, the Twisted Master had also grown accustomed to the nickname for the little kitty—Alpha.

He did not mind the feline temperament of the little kitty, Li You.

Of course, this was the indulgence that the strong showed towards their pets.

A cat is just like that, licking the milk in its dish, appearing gentle one moment, but it might show its claws while being petted the next.

As long as the cat is weak enough, whether gentle or fierce, it’s all fun for the caretaker.

There will always be those who enjoy the rebellion of a small cat.

Not so long ago, Alpha had obtained a part of his body.

This had taken quite a bit of time. The barrier inside the volcano had required Alpha to put in some effort.

Now, Alpha had come inside the Ark.

Li You said,

"Seven hundred years ago, I also thought about boarding this ship, but I didn’t have a ticket, I didn’t have the qualification."

"Everything in this world has its cause and effect, you have found a better place to go," Alpha said.

Li You said,

"What part is it this time?"

"The Eye."

"The Eye? Was it separated as well?" Li You found this very strange.

Alpha said,

"The Eye will help me dispel all illusions, all disguises."

Having already collected both hands, Alpha could perform even more spells.

But during the process of the seal being lifted, he also saw many illusions.

To avoid being hindered by these illusions, Alpha decided to retrieve his Eye.

The darkness inside the cabin did not hinder the progress of the two.

The darkness wasn’t complete, the distant golden whirlpool acting as a guide for them.

Soon, Li You and Alpha arrived at the entrance to the whirlpool.

"This place has been reconstructed by someone, it is a palace of memories but was later destroyed. The World Will concealed my Eyes here, presumably to trap me in memory," Alpha rarely frowned.

"So you won’t go inside?" Li You taunted.

Alpha did not speak nor was influenced by Li You’s little tricks, but indeed, he stepped into the whirlpool.

The curiosity of a cat is always profound, and after Alpha walked into the whirlpool... Li You followed as well.

In that instant, Li You witnessed a magnificent sight.

On the desolate battlefield, clouds rushed, tore apart, and reconvened, while the sound of horns echoed in the distance, resonating in the sky.

Seven figures, their true appearances obscured by the Black Mist and kneeling on one knee, were making an oath of loyalty to someone.

Following those seven shadows, countless faceless people were launching an attack on the barbaric other side.

But on the battlefield of the barbaric world, a beast with red flesh, blue wings, and a purple spear was slaughtering in a frenzy.

It seemed like a tyrant, always killing all its enemies in the most brutal ways.

Watching the scene, Alpha slowly closed his eyes.

In the instant Alpha closed his eyes—the sounds of killing, the horn calls, the wails, all disappeared.

"What is that? I recognize you, but those seven figures kneeling before you... are they Well Level? And who is that monster?"

In the quieted world, Li You’s voice came through.

Upon hearing Li You’s voice, Alpha was convinced that he had unraveled this illusion related to memory.

Alpha found himself somewhat inclined to converse:

"My old rival and I are vying for the Well, just as this world has the World’s Will, the Well has its Will, though this Will can be influenced."

"The Will of the Well is hard to fathom; it created the Seven Sins envoys to maintain the order of the Well, all of whom are loyal to me, yet it also created a monster attempting to bring an end to the Seven Sins."

Without opening his eyes, Alpha heard Li You ask:

"If you open your eyes, will everything just now reappear?"

"Yes, so I need a pair of eyes that cannot be deceived."

Li You curiously inquired, "Are there such eyes?"

"Within the Sequence system, there are such eyes, and in the ability system of Evil Fallen, there are also such powers."

The world within the vortex wasn’t so dark; Li You and Alpha were still on the barbaric battlefield, except when Alpha closed his eyes, every living thing on the battlefield froze in place.

The seal of the World Will was strong, but Alpha’s methods were no less potent.

Eventually, he arrived before the golden light barrier.

The next thing to do was to unravel the barrier and repeat the process of retrieving his arm from last time.

The only difference was, he could not open his eyes until he had secured the eyes.

Otherwise, his consciousness would return to the ancient battlefield in the Well World, to battle the tyrant once more.

Perhaps defeating the opponent once more would be a beautiful memory, but Alpha did not wish to waste time.

In these days, he could feel that his fate was upon him.

Those struggling humans were trying all means to deal with him.

But Alpha did not care, for he believed that he was the one who could see the farthest.

The Will of the World was already withering, and the rival of old was long dead.

Facing the vast and twisted human world, he rather wished that the remaining sparks could ignite a wildfire, bringing some interest to the otherwise dull eternal days ahead.

"You come from the Well?" Li You was not one to idle without purpose.

While surveying the surroundings, she posed a question to Alpha.

Alpha knew that breaking the seal would take some time, and the company of a little cat was somewhat entertaining:

"Strictly speaking, my old rival and I have visited the world within the Well, but we are not born of the Well."

"The Seven Sins, and that overconfident monster, are the ones from the Well."

"The Seven Sins don’t seem like they can defeat that monster," Li You always felt that the monster seemed familiar.

Alpha said:

"In history, indeed, with my help, the Seven Sins defeated that beast. However, now, it must have weakened considerably."

Within the World of the Well, two Wills were clashing with each other, but due to Alpha’s interference, and the inverse influence of the real world on the Well World, the forces within the Well were already out of balance.

Li You was unaware of these things, and Alpha simply stated:

"Both my rival and I have tried to control the Well, and now, only one step remains to success."

Li You then asked a strange question:

"What if this monster kills the Seven Sins?"

Alpha was not one to make hasty conclusions about anything.

At present, he was certain the monster was very weak, and the balance of power between the two forces had completely collapsed.

But perhaps, there really is a possibility as that little cat mentioned.

Thus, Alpha didn’t arrogantly declare things like "Ride the dragon and face up."

He still maintained a calm control over everything:

"If that is indeed the case, and Seven Sins truly is dead... the distortion density of this world would significantly decrease, and many rules would vanish. But this possibility is very low."

"And even if that were so..." Alpha didn’t finish his sentence; he just smiled without continuing.

Because the probability of Seven Sins being killed by that monster was truly very low.

Li You didn’t quite understand, but she could make out one thing—

The Seven Sins in the Well seemed to be related to something very important concerning distortion.

Eliminating Seven Sins might make the world normal again.

But Alpha’s hesitation made Li You feel as though Alpha was very confident.

She didn’t ponder deeply but merely hoped... that there would be enough bodies of Alpha.

That way, there would be more time left for humanity.

Otherwise... she couldn’t imagine how Gu Qingyu and the others would deal with such a terrifying existence.

...

...

Well World, third layer.

The cloaked old man who called himself Li was respected by Bai Wu for his age, but... theoretically, a Split Body is just a newly born person.

So Bai Wu referred to Old Li as Little Li, which annoyed Li quite a bit.

Annoyed as he was, Li still brought Bai Wu to a battlefield far older than seven hundred years, older even than Omega’s birth by countless years— the Savage Battlefield.

A shallow trench separated Bai Wu and Li at the edge of the battlefield.

Li said:

"Go ahead, that’s his territory ahead, and this old man doesn’t dare to cross into it, cough cough cough cough cough..."

Bai Wu asked:

"What will happen if the Evil Fallen Body kills the human body?"

"If the human dies, theoretically the Evil Fallen Body should also disappear. He theoretically shouldn’t attack you."

Bai Wu puzzled:

"Theoretically?"

Li explained:

"Your relationship with your Evil Fallen Body isn’t like Bai Xiaoyu with Omega."

"Bai Xiaoyu was born, and then Omega was born. But you and that tyrant... no, he existed in this world long before you were born... it’s just that he chose you."

"But for more issues, it’s best to ask him yourself, after all... perhaps even if you die, he won’t perish."

After saying this, Li dashed away. His mission was to lead Bai Wu into the tyrant’s territory, and while he hadn’t stepped into it yet, he had led the way there.

Even though he was a Split Body, he still possessed survival instincts.

That trench was like some line of deathly warning.

Bai Wu was indeed reckless, so this time, he unusually cast a glance at Jing Liu.

Jing Liu had been keeping a low profile lately, but seeing Omega’s wary stance not long ago, and Li’s undisguised fear, she said:

"In this world, you are already a strong entity. To save your dear friend, perhaps you can outwit rather than relying solely on force."

Her words seemed to persuade Bai Wu not to cross that trench.

But then Jing Liu abruptly shifted:

"But your Evil Fallen Body seems to know more than what Omega knows. Don’t you find it intriguing that the other party refers to him as Beta?"

Bai Wu felt there was some truth in that.

Intuitively, he also thought that this encounter with the Evil Fallen Body might unravel some confusion and even offer some assistance.

So in the end, he took a step forward, crossing over that trench.
