Doomsday Jigsaw Puzzle

Chapter 565: Chapter 182: The Death of Bai Wu

"The only thing in this world that can defeat you is the World Will. If you understand this world as the Inner World of the real world, then the Inner World also has its own Will."

Bai Wu, eager to swiftly delve into the critical issue, never stopped talking.

"The Seven Sins, Evil Fallen, they are all created by the Well, but not by you. You are known as the Twisted Master, yet you and the High Tower Creator are merely civilizations familiar with the Well."

"So this also explains why you appeared thousands of years ago but never controlled the Well, even though the strongest force, the Seven Sins, and the most powerful tyrants are inferior to you."

"You are an outsider, Alpha, aren’t you? Everything in this world can only be resolved by this world itself. The Seven Sins can kill the tyrant, the tyrant can kill the Seven Sins... but you can’t."

Alpha was indeed surprised that Bai Wu could think of this.

Bai Wu knew that this brief pause meant he had hit a crucial point.

Alpha probably wanted to know something.

But he was too lazy to guess anymore; he had to protect himself.

"If I’m not mistaken, by killing the tyrant, you will be rejected by the Will of the Well World. You wouldn’t dare gamble on what happens next!"

Jing Liu had actually seen Bai Wu’s end, and her feelings were complicated.

In her plan, she would become a supplementary part, making Bai Wu believe that he had changed for a moment.

The fact was that this moment was almost realized.

But her trick was seen through by Alpha at a glance, and with that, she guessed that Bai Wu also thought of someone else.

No matter how eloquent Bai Wu was, today was inevitably his death.

It was impossible for him to survive.

Jing Liu’s guess was not wrong.

Alpha’s gaze was as calmly detached as ever:

"But what does it matter if you’ve guessed all this? Indeed, I am also an outsider in this world. I can kill many people, but when it comes to the few who are connected to the source, I can’t kill them."

"You are a very clever person, guessing that there is a force balancing everything in this world. But that’s futile."

As if all the strife in this world was just the Well, this massive program, operating on its own.

Whether it be the tyrant killing the Seven Sins or the Seven Sins constantly expelling Evil Fallen.

Whether it be the Rebel Army fighting against the Seventh Consortiums, or the Seventh Consortiums ruling Well City...

All these are internal matters of the Well, parts of its operation. For the Well, any outcome is acceptable.

But it does not allow interference from outsiders.

Even if that outsider is Alpha.

So if Alpha kills the tyrant, it would only lead to the massive program that is the Well detecting an "unidentified invader."

Alpha can only influence events from the outside world, in reverse.

The Well World affects reality, and reality affects the Well World.

If an outsider tries to adjust parameters within the Well World to intervene in the outside world, they would be rejected by the Well.

Otherwise, just anyone could enter the Well and wreak havoc, wouldn’t that be the end of everything?

Having clarified these points, Bai Wu revealed his classic "It’s my turn" expression.

As if about to say I bet your gun has no bullets.

He just needed to make Alpha believe something next, to make him cautious and thus reluctant to deal the killing blow.

This was Bai Wu’s plan.

But what happened next... was beyond Bai Wu’s expectation, just as he opened his mouth, ready to continue saying something...

A black ray shot out from Alpha’s palm.

It pierced Bai Wu’s heart directly.

The terrifying black energy spread rapidly after penetrating Bai Wu.

This sudden strike was more unanticipated than a thunderbolt falling from the sky for no reason.

"I realize that what you want to tell me is that you come from within the Well, I am an outsider and you are not, correct?"

Bai Wu did want to say that, but his life was flickering like a candle in the wind.

The oil exhausted, the lamp spent, all was at an end.

Bai Wu never expected... that Alpha would see through his intentions.

"I indeed can be merciful to a dying man, but that has to be someone with no desire to live, and clearly, you are not."

The tyrant, blown away, saw Bai Wu disappearing like ash in an instant, furious beyond measure.

A massive purple spear thrust with the momentum of a piercing dragon!

There was no posture of defense, only the determination to stake life for life!

Alpha frowned because the Tyrant’s strike was now a threat to him.

The avatar was still a bit weaker after all.

Fury for flesh, sorrow for wings, and fear for weapons, the Tyrant displayed his power without restraint!

Alpha, just an avatar, instantly erected three enormous black barriers as shields.

But that spear was the ultimate weapon that could pierce through domains and barriers!

One shield shattered.

The Tyrant’s momentum and charge did not lessen in the slightest.

The second shield shattered.

The roar echoed through Ice Kui City, the Tyrant’s gaze blood-red.

The third shield shattered.

It all happened in the blink of an eye, the terrifying purple spear ultimately ran Alpha through.

This god-like monster was repelled for the first time.

But such efforts were like the words of Bai Wu.

Alpha didn’t even need to regard this fatal injury.

Though he was but an avatar, unable to compare with the original in terms of immortality, he was still not below the six at the Well Level.

He grasped the long spear with both hands and slowly pulled it out of his body.

Watching his own wounds heal instantly, Alpha said:

"It’s already too late."

Too late.

Bai Wu slowly fell to the ground, and Alpha intended to attack again but couldn’t move because his weapon was pinned down.

Everyone stood frozen in place.

Jing Liu knew Bai Wu would die, and also knew Bai Wu would definitely find a way to break the game.

But what he didn’t expect was... that Alpha would choose to kill Bai Wu just when she saw hope, even when she believed, that Bai Wu might have truly found a point of ingress—

He killed Bai Wu in an instant.

"In my eyes, there are no dying people, only dead and alive."

Bai Wu died.

The fearsome life force was of no use against Alpha’s native Power of Twist.

Alpha turned to Jing Liu:

"Now it’s your turn."

From beginning to end, Alpha knew what Bai Wu wanted to say.

It was nothing more than wanting to prove that he came from within the Well, that he could not kill him.

But he also knew how to choose.

For a dangerous seed like Bai Wu, even if it meant defying the Will of the Well and sacrificing this original avatar, Bai Wu must die.

He would never let what happened to Jing Si happen to Bai Wu as well.

Seven hundred years ago, Jing Si entered the Well, but unlike Bai Wu.

Jing Si did not enter the deeper levels of the Well World, but he came into contact with the Well Water beforehand.

This also allowed Jing Si to step into a new realm.

Even for Alpha, defeating Jing Si would require a lot of effort.

So even if Bai Wu truly belonged to the Well World and was not an outsider, even if it would affect the Inner World Will’s influence on the real world, if it meant killing, then killed he would be.

Because if he were still alive, there might indeed be future troubles.

Bai Wu was just like Lin Rui, who was killed by Jing Si.

His body was like a piece of paper that had been burned to black ash and then slowly... crumbled away.

All of this was as it should be; no one could withstand an attack from Alpha.

This god did not need to show the destructive power that could annihilate the heavens and the earth because, when facing mundane beings, he simply did not need to go that far.

Just like his words, killing Bai Wu was all too easy for him.

And of all the Evil Fallen present, only the Tyrant could break free from the immense authority and take action. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

But it was all meaningless.

However strong the Tyrant was, he could not kill one who was Immortal.

Alpha was somewhat puzzled when Bai Wu collapsed to the ground, his body completely shattered...

The Tyrant also fell to the ground.

His flesh, his wings, and that long spear all shattered apart.

Unlike Bai Wu, the Tyrant was like ice chiseled open by an invisible force.

In the real world, if someone dies or becomes an Evil Fallen, it would lead to the demise of the corresponding Evil Fallen Body in the Inner World.

Realizing this, Alpha felt relieved.

This was an unexpected joy, indeed.

He had come here intending to eliminate Bai Wu, and if not for the rules, he would have even liked to personally kill the Tyrant.

But killing Bai Wu was tantamount to killing the Tyrant; this was killing two birds with one stone, achieving the best result without defying the Will of the Well.

As he said, the last one was Jing Liu.

At the moment when Bai Wu truly died, Jing Liu felt an unexpected sadness.

Is this the result of humanity’s efforts?

These past days, she had pretended to follow Bai Wu, pretended to explore this world with him, and gradually she also discovered the complexity of Bai Wu’s identity.

In Jing Liu’s eyes, Bai Wu should have been the strongest trump card, with certainly some secrets hidden within him.

But Bai Wu just died like that.

The strength of the Twisted Master had reached an unsolvable extent.

So perhaps from the moment the Twisted Master walked out of the High Tower, mankind’s fate was already sealed.

Jing Liu slowly approached Alpha:

"I am tired."

"The dead do not tire. My child, the Power of Causality has given you too much information that you should not know. Sometimes, knowing too much is not good."

Alpha also approached Jing Liu, and finally, he looked at her peacefully, his palm touching Jing Liu’s forehead.

As if a father was looking at his own child.

Fear and reluctance filled Jing Liu’s eyes. She still had a series of plans to unfold, if only she could continue to follow Bai Wu, she could have used him to enter deeper levels of the Well and ultimately find the Well Water.

That was the immense energy that drove the entire Well World.

Perhaps by experiencing what her brother did, she could have gained what her brother had...

But in the end, everything turned to nothing.

Her twin eyes began to blur as her consciousness faded, and although possessing an immortal Well Level body, she began to disintegrate just like Bai Wu.

After Zhou Zeshui, she was the second Well to disappear.

Jing Liu, utterly deceased.

Alpha’s gaze remained unchanged, and after completing all this, he paid no attention to the others.

Once you enter the Well, it is hard to return.

But he was just an avatar.

After completing the task, he could be recalled by the main body.

...

...

Far away in the real world, Alpha’s original body was still in the Causality Telephone Booth at the moment.

The phones in these booths suddenly started to ring incessantly.

The phone calls came one after another.

They were Jing Liu’s masterpiece.

At the moment of Jing Liu’s true death, the causality lines she had arranged began to agitate.

And the originally somewhat weakened Alpha felt his weakness gradually fade.

Li You noticed this:

"You seem to have grown stronger."

While deciphering Qian Yixin’s seal, Alpha said:

"It’s just that my avatar has completed its task."

"What task?" Li You asked further.

"Bai Wu is dead."

These four words caused Li You to freeze in place, momentarily at a loss for words. Wasn’t Bai Wu already sealed by him in the shell, initiating some sort of ritual?

Alpha didn’t explain, in fact, encountering Bai Wu within the Well had also been unexpected for him, and there was indeed a significant risk in killing Bai Wu.

Of course, his initial focus wasn’t Bai Wu, but the Seven Sins, he hadn’t appeared beside Bai Wu, but beside Seven Sins instead.

Meanwhile, creating an avatar capable of suppressing a tyrant was no easy task.

For all Evil Fallen and humans, the Well had always been an ultimate secret.

But for Alpha, it was a forbidden area.

Once, he and his kin had caused their own extinction by overexploiting the Well.

In the end, only he and the High Tower Creator had survived.

It wasn’t until later that the two realized that the Well had its own way of balance.

The inner workings of the Well, if intervened directly by outsiders, would only bring about terrible disasters.

However, interestingly, Alpha soon also realized that there indeed was a method of intervention that wouldn’t cause the Will of the Well to retaliate.

That was simply to change the reality of the world one was in.

This time, entering the Well presented considerable risks.

But risk also led to reward.

The deaths of Jing Liu and Bai Wu could be seen as eliminating two future threats.

Next, Alpha speculated that a greater catastrophe would arrive.

But he would no longer feel troubled by it.

He even held some expectations for humanity.

...

...

Well World, third layer.

The extreme cold weather of Ice Kui City, originally scorched by the terrifying Karmic Fire, saw the snow and wind dissipate.

But with the death of the tyrant, the place was quickly covered by snow and wind again.

After the great battle, the Evil Fallen had won but seemed profoundly dejected.

Omega sighed:

"Although we are not friends, we still shared common interests..."

Bai Wu, the tyrant, had recently killed people from the Seventh Consortiums, and now they had become history.

They didn’t even leave behind any corpses.

Faced with the formidable Alpha, everything seemed so powerless.

Cain’s Evil Fallen Body, Dracula, said:

"Look on the bright side, at least we have a base now. Even though we lost the tyrant, against the Seventh Consortiums without their Seven Sins Sovereigns, we’re at least not at a disadvantage."

This was probably the only piece of good news.

But still, everyone found it hard to be happy.

Yan Zizai’s Evil Fallen Body—Jing said:

"I still can’t accept... Just like that, they’re gone."

"Are they really dead?"

No one answered the question.

The snow and wind buried the doubt.

The Evil Fallen cleared the battlefield in silence, and for a very long time, this would be their base.

Some died, and some lived.

Those alive would continue to operate according to the World’s Will.

They would still fight against Seven Sins, how long this war would last, no one knew, perhaps there was no end at all.

While everyone was busy,

the giant mechanical mutant dog Jing began to bark wildly amid the snow and wind.

The Evil Fallen paid no attention.

Many knew something about the dog’s bond with Bai Wu.

A dog’s heart is purer, perhaps it was simply mourning Bai Wu.

But the bark echoing through the snow and wind didn’t seem to be mourning.

It kept barking frantically in one direction, as if it had caught onto something.
