Doomsday Jigsaw Puzzle

Chapter 564: Chapter 181: Showdown with Alpha

Throughout various chess games and other games, there have always been two kings.

One represents black, the other represents white.

Often, in a game, the kings do not meet until the end.

The Great Demon King blocking Beginner’s Village would only make the story difficult to continue.

Just like now, Inner Personality Bai Wu really wanted to complain about why Alpha would appear here.

The tyrant, as if facing a formidable enemy, placed Bai Wu behind him.

On the battlefield, Omegas, Jing, Nightmare Ghosts, and Dracula—these top Evil Fallen—all entered into combat mode.

However, the Evil Fallen, even though they fed on human negative emotions, could also sense the negative emotions of their kin.

They were in fear, which Alpha was very aware of, although it wasn’t to the degree of losing their fighting capabilities.

In Alpha’s eyes, these people were merely part of the setting.

"Many years ago, I participated in a battle. You know I won’t kill you, I’ll just make you hungrier and hungrier. Eventually, you’ll be continuously suppressed by the Seventh Consortiums. Of course, if you were to die at the hands of the Seventh Consortiums, that would be another story."

Inner Personality Bai Wu noticed the problem with this statement. Was there a fundamental difference between Alpha killing the tyrant and the Seventh Consortiums killing the tyrant?

Why was this?

The tyrant pondered how to take Bai Wu away, knowing even at his peak, he would not be able to contend with Alpha.

Not to mention, he hadn’t reached his peak yet.

"But it’s different for that kid behind you; he doesn’t belong to the Well, or rather, he isn’t purely of the Well, so I can kill him. And killing him, for me..."

The tyrant suddenly felt a huge Power of Twist spreading out and was aware that Alpha had taken action.

At the same time, all the Evil Fallen felt an overwhelming pressure, instinctively wanting to kneel.

Only the tyrant could move, but as he prepared to resist Alpha,

The unfinished sentence from Alpha came from behind the tyrant:

"It’s just too easy."

The figure that had stood in front of the tyrant shattered and dissipated like an illusion.

Alpha’s towering figure appeared in front of Bai Wu, extending a hand to place his forefinger on Bai Wu’s forehead.

"The power awakened after drinking Well Water allows you to resonate with the Well. It’s just that at the time, being caught in the Reverse Dimension, I couldn’t think of these things. But it did allow you to find a loophole."

Bai Wu raised both hands, instantly conceding:

"Am I bound to die today?"

Alpha looked at Bai Wu calmly:

"Your emotional fluctuations are almost nonexistent, yet you can continuously provide negative emotions. It seems you are not the main personality; your main personality seems temporarily unable to appear."

"But no matter, death is like the snuffing out of a lamp, dead is dead."

The tyrant tried to turn around to confront Alpha but heard Alpha say lightly:

"Don’t move, or he dies right now."

Alpha’s words alone intimidated the tyrant. Not just with words—the Power of Twist, sharing the same origin as Bai Wu, also restrained the tyrant.

The other Evil Fallen were not enveloped by this force, but faced with this terrifying existence that had suddenly appeared, they didn’t even have the courage to fight.

The gap was too large.

They were vastly inferior to the Seven Sins, and the Seven Sins had been defeated by the tyrant.

The person who had appeared so abruptly was someone even the tyrant couldn’t resist.

The tyrant was a king, full of endless fury, possessing a domineering presence that ruled over all—perhaps no one would wish to challenge his authority, but in this world, there will always be those who would slay a king.

Alpha was different, he was a god.

His strength is despairing, leaving no room for any battle courage to arise.

How can a mortal body stand shoulder to shoulder with a deity?

In such a dire situation, in truth, battling had already become meaningless.

Bai Wu’s mind was racing fast.

In the instant of being held hostage by the tyrant, countless thoughts sparked—

"First, there’s no way to defeat them, but they didn’t kill me outright, so there must be some issues they haven’t figured out."

"Or it’s just like a cat that’s caught a mouse and doesn’t kill it immediately, but plays with it for a while first."

"Moreover... Playing the sympathy card is useless."

Throughout his journey, understanding the emotional needs of the Evil Fallen and persuading them with reason and emotion had been Bai Wu’s trump card when facing invincible enemies.

Hong Yin, Dandelion, Jing, and even Violet, as well as Jing Si’s heart later on, all were the same.

But he was very clear that there was nothing to discuss with Alpha.

This person had lived too long.

"So what can I do? One, find conditions to survive and temporarily deceive Alpha."

"Two... If I can’t deceive him, I will die. But at least, can I die with understanding?"

In the process before death, he tried to buy as much time as possible, hoping to uncover a blind spot that had flashed through his mind, which could potentially turn certain death into survival.

Bai Wu said:

"That’s too sneaky. You could easily find me if you wanted and killing me would only take a flick of your finger. Suddenly, it feels like... all human efforts seem insignificant?"

"Since I’m going to die, can I at least understand everything before I do?"

Bai Wu spoke with helplessness, seeing no possibility in Alpha’s eyes that he wanted to be a verbose villain, he raised his hands in difficulty:

"I surrender. Can I lose just half? I’ll take the half-dead combo."

The surrounding Evil Fallen didn’t dare to breathe too loudly.

"The reason you haven’t died yet is twofold."

"I hope the great Twisted Master would elaborate in multiple, detailed, and lengthy languages, which points exactly they are. I want to delay my death, I want to breathe more of the air in this damned place."

Bai Wu had a mournful look with exaggerated expressions. But that was just the nature of his Inner Personality.

If he could escape this time, maybe the next time he met Alpha, his Inner Personality would roll his eyes up and say slyly:

"Could you perform that again?"

"Ah, you want to repeat it?"

"Killing him would just be too easy for me."

"Hahahahahaha..."

That was Bai Wu’s Inner Personality, with a crazy, do-or-die attitude and a desire to perform.

However, deep inside, as the door opened, both the main personality in the process of recovery in the Inner World and the currently dominant Inner Personality felt fear towards Alpha and knew that today might be the end.

There was only a slim chance of survival.

That chance wasn’t battle, it was a clue neglected so far.

Alpha said:

"I’m really curious about the source of your negative emotions. But I would rather just kill you outright. If I were to look into the source, I’m afraid it might cause unnecessary complications."

"After all, you are the only outsider who was able to reach the third layer."

Feeling Alpha’s intention to kill, Bai Wu quickly said out loud:

"Even if you compliment me, I won’t forgive you for killing me. But could you ensure the right procedure before you carry out the correct result? What’s the second point?"

Alpha hadn’t expected Bai Wu’s Inner Personality to be like this.

Very crazy, yet very cowardly.

Alpha didn’t respond to Bai Wu but didn’t kill him either.

Because he had already obtained the eyes.

Although these eyes were not Prayle’s Eye, they could still see many things.

He looked in another direction, at someone who had been coldly observing the whole battle: frёeωebɳovel.com

"You can deceive Bai Wu, but not me."

At that moment, Jing Liu became tense.

Because Alpha’s gaze had fallen upon Jing Liu.

At this very moment, Bai Wu also exclaimed.

"Ah... I knew it, I always felt there was something off about her. She came out of nowhere."

"I must declare that for the seven hundred years outside the tower, she has always wanted to replace you, and I, have been a stumbling block on her path forward."

"You hate her, I hate her, aren’t we on the same side?"

Many thoughts flashed through Bai Wu’s mind as he kept talking.

Alpha looked at Jing Liu, his gaze playful.

Horror filled Jing Liu’s eyes.

Alpha said:

"You are right about one thing, I also hate her. And today, having you two together here is an unexpected surprise."

Jing Liu instinctively wanted to flee, but she was very weak, especially since... she had hardly spoken these days because she was already weak to a certain extent.

"You are looking for Well Water, aren’t you?"

Although there were many Evil Fallen around, the grand drama had but three actors.

Bai Wu, Jing Liu, Alpha.

"No need for pretense now, right? Or do you still harbor any hope?" Alpha’s words filled Jing Liu with despair.

She had calculated a thousand possibilities, but she did not foresee this calamity—nor did she predict that the death of Seven Sins would bring the Twisted Master himself into the Well.

An idea occurred to Bai Wu.

Why was the tyrant... able to pierce through Jing Liu before? ƒrēewebnovel.com

Putting together Alpha’s words, he began to understand:

"Although I’ve always been wary of you, I still underestimated you."

He had thought Jing Liu was some kind of special form, but as the semi-transparent shadow of Jing Liu gradually began to reveal a solid body...

Looking at those Evil Fallen around who were clueless, suddenly discovering there was another person...

Bai Wu finally confirmed that Jing Liu was not some sort of consciousness visible only to him.

From the beginning to the end, Jing Liu has been an impostor.

She was using him to go deeper into the Well.

The ultimate goal, very likely as Alpha said—seeking the Well Water.

The tyrant was his Evil Fallen Body, with many eyes on him, which although might not correspond to Prayle’s Eye, seemed to possess strong observation abilities.

Thus, the tyrant could see Jing Liu.

And it appeared that the tyrant’s attack could strike at everything he could see.

If Jing Liu was truly just a shadow with her true body elsewhere, then the tyrant could not have hit her.

Following this line of thought, Jing Liu’s first question at that time, asking why the tyrant could hit her, her expression became worth pondering.

"So I banished you to the entrance of the Well, and you had already touched me on the plane, seeing all of this, but you clamored to kill me with your mouth, just to avoid arousing my suspicion."

"In this way, at the entrance of the Well World, within that Chaos, you would be better able to play... a pitiful loser."

Alpha had not killed Bai Wu immediately because he wanted to see the joke between Bai Wu and Jing Liu.

The Power of Causality could not observe Well Level, but at that time Jing Liu had touched Bai Wu.

And it seemed to be at the cost of her vitality.

Everything was a calculation.

Another ability of Jing Liu’s was to become a shadow.

It was not any special consciousness. Nor was it a coincidental encounter.

From beginning to end, Jing Liu had been waiting for his arrival.

Using his own eyes, she was stepping deeper into the world of the Well.

All the problems along the way, those thoughts, all the exchanges, were nothing but a facade.

Just as after the battle for the defense of High Tower, that was Bai Wu’s battleground.

For Jing Liu, after being banished on the plane, that was her battleground.

But here lies a problem.

Well Water is the Twist itself, incomprehensible, it can only be felt, not understood.

Such a precious thing, once opened, would drive all Evil Fallen mad.

Yet Jing Liu once had such a scarce resource.

And it was Jing Liu who had given it to himself.

Why on earth was that?

The drop of Well Water was most likely brought by Jing Si. If Jing Liu was searching for this thing, why would he hand it over to himself?

Bai Wu put down one hand.

Raising both hands signified surrender, a single hand meant there was a question.

But Alpha had already started making a move.

Compared to the power of a god, all beings are so insignificant.

At this moment, at the tips of Alpha’s fingers, power coalesced.

At the same time, Bai Wu activated the Well Domain, and the Tyrant, using Brute Force, forcibly broke through the restraints, as the violet spear stabbed towards Alpha.

"Nonsense."

With a flick of Alpha’s finger, although he did not kill Bai Wu who also possessed the Power of Twist, he managed to knock Bai Wu back.

The retreating figure of Bai Wu saw his flesh diminish once more.

Using power from the same source to resist Alpha caused his exhaustion to be even more exaggerated than while in the Seven Sins domain.

The Tyrant’s spear, blocked by two of Alpha’s fingers, was then gently flicked away by his index finger, repelling the Tyrant.

"Your power originates the same as mine, you merely grasped this level with just a drop of Well Water, I indeed did not expect that. But this convinces me even more that you need to die."

"If you are allowed to delve deeper, who knows, you might become an even greater threat than Jing Si in the future."

After Alpha’s words fell, four massive black barriers began to shrink, continuously squeezing Ice Kui City.

Jing Liu originally wanted to flee, but upon seeing these four barriers, she suddenly realized she was facing her demise today.

"I will kill Bai Wu first, but that doesn’t mean you can escape."

Alpha glanced at Jing Liu, as if looking at a dead person.

But it was just a glance, without further delay.

When Alpha turned back to Bai Wu, Inner Personality Bai Wu immediately acted as if defenseless:

"It’s all over, it’s all over, Master Alpha, this is not how villains should act. Can’t you humiliate me first, torture me a bit? Let me die later?"

Alpha remained unmoved.

Bai Wu didn’t give up, he truly felt out of options.

But in his mind, he never ceased to think of a way to break the predicament.

Even though the Outer Personality and Inner Personality were drastically different, they were both Bai Wu.

The goal was the same.

"This is too boring, this game is far too dull, so everyone’s efforts are meaningless, right?"

"Since when can the Great Demon King appear as he wishes? If that’s the case... why didn’t you just appear in other Well Worlds and kill those troublesome people?"

"I quit, where’s the ESC button, can I press it to open the menu and quit?"

No matter what Inner Personality Bai Wu said, Alpha remained unmoved. He just approached and aimed his palm at Bai Wu.

Killing Bai Wu was not difficult, but it was not as easy as imagined, especially since Bai Wu also possessed the Power of Twist.

But now Bai Wu was extremely weakened, and this time, he definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand Alpha’s strike.

"Die."

The endless twisting seemed as if it would engulf Bai Wu the next moment.

The instant between life and death made Inner Personality Bai Wu feel both thrilled and terrified.

The torture by Bai Yuan in past years made Bai Wu’s brain extremely active under such circumstances.

In that instant, Bai Wu raised his head, eyes widened:

"So that’s how it is, you are an outsider too! You are being rejected by the Well!"

The forthcoming assault halted abruptly, and Alpha, who was always calm, showed a hint of confusion in his eyes.
