Free Web NovelChapter 562: Chapter 179: The Significant Changes After Seven Sins’ Death
There are many madmen in this world, and what is deemed mad is to act without following the rules, making moves that kill a thousand enemies at the cost of injuring oneself by fifteen hundred.
At the moment, Bai Wu was constantly emitting emotions, making the power of the tyrant stronger and stronger.
Originally, the tyrant had been intercepted by the Seven Sins, and his body was already shattered, yet in a short time... he recovered due to the horrifying powers of life recovery.
On the other hand, Bai Wu continued to expand his domain, his flesh fading away, making Bai Wu’s face more and more ferocious and evil. Like a demon that had been tortured in hell and shed a layer of skin.
Even just looking with the eyes, one could feel the pain Bai Wu was enduring.
But Bai Wu still took steps toward another target:
"If no one volunteers, then I will have to call names!"
Although the tyrant and Bai Wu had not communicated, both had locked onto the same target.
After pride comes wrath.
Pride was no longer prideful, resembling withered thorns.
And wrath, too, was no longer wrathful, becoming a coward enveloped by fear.
When the tyrant’s purple spear struck in an instant, the outcome for both wrath and pride was the same.
That spear, as if it could directly pierce through the soul, symbolized the arrival of a new era.
Without any obstacle, the spear penetrated wrath.
The Sequence characters at the edge of the Seven Sins Array began to blur.
Jing, Nightmare Ghost, Omega, and all the other Evil Fallen who were still watching the battle, did not expect Bai Wu to twice turn the tide of battle from the brink of despair.
The next one was envy.
"You can’t possibly last until all seven of us are dead... Your life has already hit rock bottom, give it up!" Envy roared loudly.
Bai Wu nodded:
"You are quite right, but I have no choice, my other will has given a death order, all of you must die. I’ll let you in on a secret, although I find it rather boring, I quite like him."
Bai Wu wanted to reach out and pat envy, who couldn’t move, acting like an old pal.
But halfway through the gesture... his flesh and bones began to fall off.
"Ah, it seems I can’t give you any warmth before death; my parts are broken."
The loss of life force brought Bai Wu to the verge of death.
Yet he truly was a complete madman, still not forgetting to tease even at this time.
The tyrant was more anxious than Bai Wu; he swung his spear, piercing through another of the Seven Sins Sovereigns.
"Enough! You can leave the rest to me."
"Are you sure? Seeing your tiny, puny purple stick, I feel very... worried..."
The crazed teaser could no longer move.
When his knees also began to shatter, and the remaining four of the Seven Sins forgot what they should be doing at this moment, Bai Wu sighed:
"Seems like this handyman doesn’t have much durability left... It looks like I can only leave the rest to you."
Bai Wu looked toward the tyrant, his gaze gradually becoming serious.
Whether it was his inner personality or his outer personality, at this moment, they shared the same goal concerning something.
With life force greatly depleted, Bai Wu found it difficult to say much more.
But the tyrant understood Bai Wu:
"Don’t worry, not one will be spared, they will all die!"
Hearing these words, Bai Wu, satisfied, collapsed to the ground.
No matter how strong the will, his current power was ultimately not enough to beat the Seven Sins alone.
If not for the tyrant’s fearsome killing ability, just pride alone would have sufficed to last until the domain crumbled.
But he had still cooperated with the tyrant and killed three.
Envy, wrath, pride — all were the strongest combatants in melee.
This Seven Sins domain was no longer whole, plus with the tyrant continually recovering to his peak...
Although Bai Wu hadn’t lasted until the end, he was well aware—
He had won this battle.
The domain was lifted, and Bai Wu fell into unconsciousness.
Meanwhile, the battle between the tyrant and the Seven Sins continued.
The Will of the Well is fair.
Long ago, the Seven Sins failed to defeat the tyrant but unexpectedly made use of the powerful outsider from the previous civilization—Alpha, to bring the tyrant down.
Yet, they never did kill the tyrant.
Many years later, the outsider Bai Wu entered the Well World, once again intervening in the battle between two forces.
This time, the scales of victory were tipped in favor of the tyrant, and he would definitely not repeat the mistake of the Seven Sins!
"Die!"
A roar filled with murderous intent shook the city, as three of the Seven Sins were slain one after another, immensely bolstering the tyrant’s might!
At this moment, he was invincible under the heavens!
And outside the domain array... countless Sons of Order suddenly fell to the ground.
Omega, who had been shocked too many times today, watched this scene, yet somehow felt calm.
The blue nebula-like vortex in the sky remained, and Omega looked up:
"A change in the weather, huh..."
...
...
The weather had changed.
In the second layer of the Well World, clouds gathered densely, and the earth trembled.
The TV wall hanging on a skyscraper suddenly broadcast an emergency news report:
"Attention all citizens, a severe thunderstorm is imminent, a severe thunderstorm is imminent! This calamity is classified as red-level, an extraordinary disaster not seen in a thousand years! Please disconnect from the power supply! Take shelter in your homes!"
Similar messages echoed throughout Well City.
The wealthy outside the Eternal Bank showed panic on their faces.
A tycoon opened his mobile phone, his face a picture of shock.
"How could this be... How could this possibly be?"
He wasn’t shocked by the impending calamity but by other news—
Many Sons of Order were dead.
In the Eternal Bank building, a property of Pride, as the rich merchants outside gradually received the news, an accident... occurred within the Eternal Bank building as well.
The staff responsible for service suddenly collapsed to the ground.
The cries of shock from the others had no time to escape before a thunderbolt exploded.
Huge, thick red lightning struck the center of the city.
A trade building... suddenly caught fire.
The entire city’s power supply was cut off at that moment.
The seemingly bright city plunged into darkness in an instant.
Thunder kept falling, occasionally lighting up the city; heavy rain poured down, pedestrians who suddenly died in the streets began to appear, and given the rate of rainfall, their bodies would soon be soaked in water...
Inside a certain insurance building, the leader of the Rebel Army, watching this scene, had a stunned expression on his face.
This was Well City, and though there were exaggerated temperature differences, this city had never experienced a catastrophic disaster.
In the office of the insurance building, he looked at the oppressively dark sky and then at the people of the Order Faction on the streets who suddenly lost their lives...
He guessed that something must have happened on the third layer.
That’s how the Well World worked; the deeper the layer, the greater impact it had on the surface and the real world.
Recalling that not long ago... someone had commissioned him to incite a riot to rob the Eternal Bank...
The Rebel Army leader surmised it must be this person’s doing.
"Bai Wu... what exactly have you done?"
Bai Wu couldn’t respond to him. By the time he came to his senses, a group of people had already gathered behind him.
The once spacious office suddenly seemed crowded.
These members of the Rebel Army were madmen, villains of this world; it seemed as though a disaster was imminent, which to them, was good news.
"Boss, shouldn’t we also make a big fuss? I’ve just received news that members of the Order Faction on patrol have all suddenly died... This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," said one.
Another member of the Rebel Army spoke up:
"Yeah, we can’t miss this kind of opportunity. Although we don’t know what exactly happened, our time has come!"
The leader nodded, his emotions surging tremendously within, yet his demeanor remained quite composed.
Time waits for no one.
He knew that now was indeed a good time for the Rebel Army to destroy this city.
The entire city was powerless, which was perfect for committing crimes.
And to destroy and commit crimes within this city was to redeem the real world.
Suddenly, he thought—
The real world at this moment? Must have also undergone earth-shattering changes, right?
...
...
Outside the Mist, Sanchez City.
There was no rain in the world outside the Mist.
Because of the distortion, the original weather of Sanchez City had become somewhat severe.
It wasn’t as extreme as the temperate zones, but still unbearably hot for humans.
However, today, the temperature in Sanchez unexpectedly became pleasant.
Normally, there weren’t many humans on the streets, but today everyone chose to go outside and bask in the sunlight.
Sanchez seemed to become lively in an instant.
As a place for human containment, there was no bustling commercial street here, the Kein Group controlled the majority of the shops, but they were not in use.
They didn’t need the humans here to do business; although there were some shopping malls, they were only there to make the currency seem valuable.
Today people walked the streets, enjoying the rare good weather.
Merely a change in weather, yet it gave the higher-ups of the Kein Group, who were responsible for overseeing these humans, a scent of unrest.
"They have lost their awe, lost their fear of this world."
The high-level executives of the Kein Group, observing all this through satellite, discussed in the meeting room.
"Perhaps it’s just that the weather today is really good. This change in temperature is unusual, but I believe that if we just send out Evil Fallen to attack the city, they will understand that the world is still perilous and that they are but little lambs in need of heroes’ protection."
Another high-level executive of the Kein Group spoke.
They were complacent, and this macroscopic control over humans unconsciously made them distinguish themselves from those lambs.
In fact, they were just shepherd dogs. As long as human status didn’t change, in the eyes of the highest authority of the Kein Group—k, these humans were tools.
Tools for the farm to rule over other humans.
They chatted and laughed, ready to arrange an Evil Fallen raid, and then have some designated Evil Fallen play the role of heroes.
But at that moment, everybody’s phones rang.
In the luxuriously decorated office, everyone looked at each other and then answered their phones one after another. Soon after, several executives simultaneously showed a look of surprise.
"How is that possible? The Evil Fallen on the outskirts have turned into humans?"
"Cut the crap, how can Evil Fallen just turn into humans?"
"The rules have failed? Do you realize what you’re saying, how can the rules in the peripheral areas possibly fail?"
"We can’t let the situation get out of control! Cut the broadcast immediately! Damn it, a hero turned back into a human in the middle of a speech. Isn’t this a slap in the face?"
As one call after another about the situation getting out of control came in, the high-ranking members of the Sanchez Kein Group were stunned.
Too many unexpected events occurred in succession.
Firstly, those Evil Fallen actors who were responsible for playing the villains on the outskirts suddenly became humans.
Secondly, the rules of the area near Sanchez were gradually fading into nothingness.
The harsh rules that made human survival impossible had now vanished.
To convince the public that Evil Fallen were heroes sent by heaven to save them, the entertainment for these residents of Sanchez was to watch various hero variety shows.
But just as one hero was reflecting on how weak he was as a human and how being an Evil Fallen was heaven’s favor—
He turned into a human.
The rules, the Evil Fallen, the tools used by Sanchez City to contain humans, had suddenly failed.
So much so that several executives started to think of some possibilities:
"Something big must have happened! Definitely, something big must have happened!"
...
...
Indeed, a significant event had occurred.
Food City, Causal Phone Booth.
Alpha’s eyes remained closed, but it was different from before. freёwebnoѵel.com
Previously, when he closed his eyes, he could not be attacked by any spiritual power.
But now, his eyes were closed because he was still adapting to his new eyes.
However, this did not impede his retrieval of the next body.
The next body was within the Causal Phone Booth.
Once Alpha arrived, his powerful presence caused the phone booth hiding his body to display a golden barrier.
This was an ingenious use of the Power of Causality by Jing Liu.
Even Alpha had to admit that the phone booth was indeed cleverly useful.
In fact, this was originally a risk, a potential way for Alpha to dial through to a connection with the present.
However, it had been later repaired by Qian Yixin.
And using the Causal Phone Booth, Qian Yixin had hidden Alpha’s body within it.
Retrieving it would take longer than before.
Alpha was extremely intelligent, and he instantly sensed the malicious intent of the World Will, but a dead Qian Yixin was a good Qian Yixin.
No matter how strong the traps left behind were, without the Hunter, they were merely waste.
"You always come up with something new for me," Alpha said to himself.
First, the Memory Palace, and now the Causal Phone Booth, all sorts of methods were unique and highly effective.
Now with no equal in the world, Alpha felt a certain kinship with Qian Yixin.
Of course, that was still based on the premise that Qian Yixin was dead.
Unfazed, Alpha decided to dismantle the trap.
But as he approached the booth, he suddenly stopped, furrowing his brow and looking up at the sky.
"What’s wrong? Are you scared again?" the cat Li You said fearlessly.
Alpha did not bother with the cat’s taunts, simply shaking his head and saying,
"The Well, there’s been an incident."
Before Li You could ask why, both he and Alpha had vanished.
He even chose not to retrieve his body first.
...
...
Inside the Mist, a chaotic zone.
It was Li You’s first time seeing an area where various scenes were blended together.
Snowy mountains, deserts, cities, forests, hills... Countless scenes merged into one.
Both the sense of space and time had become indistinct.
In such a bizarre place, Li You was certain that they must be near something that was extremely distorted.
Indeed, this was the location of the Well.
As significant distortions began appearing all over the world, Alpha had guessed that there was a problem with the Well.
There were two ways to enter the Well.
One was to physically find the Well’s location.
The other was to resonate with the Well and be summoned into it.
Alpha initially thought of the first method, but now, he suddenly felt that everything had become entangled. After personally verifying it, he realized that it wasn’t someone entering the Well by finding it.
It was someone resonating with the Well.
Those seemingly inconsequential humans appeared to be conspiring something.
Because although no one had located the Well, coincidentally...
The guardian of the Well—Jing Er, was missing.
