Doomsday Jigsaw Puzzle

Chapter 585: Chapter 202: Sequence 6

The forge seemed to be smelting a myriad of mingled emotions.

"The Well is constructed from the emotions of all things," Bai Wu now had a greater understanding of this phrase.

In fact, he was even more nervous than a tyrant.

After twenty-three days, whether the first weapon could be successfully forged was also unclear to Bai Wu himself.

However, on the surface, Bai Wu still appeared very calm.

The huge furnace, like the maw of a monster, after swallowing countless emotions and raw materials... always spat out nothing worthwhile.

But this time, the furnace seemed to come alive, as if it expressed some sort of astonishment and excitement.

A dark greatsword was regurgitated by the furnace. In comparison to Alpha’s replicas, this greatsword looked quite "ugly".

No gleaming reflection to dazzle the eye, the sword’s edge was thick and blunt.

A weapon that has been normally smelted should be scorching hot at the moment of its completion.

But Bai Wu felt a wave of cold air rushing towards him.

The genuine Envy Greatsword was born.

Whether it was genuine or not, Bai Wu wasn’t sure before he made this weapon.

But once the weapon appeared, Bai Wu suddenly understood.

It was as if he could establish a certain connection with it.

Of course, before coming here, he was also unable to establish a connection with real Pride and Greed.

It was not until recently that he started to sense them.

Finally seeing the fruits of Bai Wu’s laborious effort after twenty-three days, the tyrant still couldn’t believe that Bai Wu had really done it.

Bai Wu compared the two greatswords and was, frankly, astonished himself.

The process of comprehending the designs of the Seven Sins had been much more painful than he had imagined.

Yet having truly made them, he had a feeling that it might have been too easy.

He had never tried to focus on one thing so intently before.

Having suddenly completed it, there was even a sense of regret in his heart.

After mastering the process of making the first weapon, the rest was just about changing some proportions.

Perhaps in just a few more days, the Seven Sins could all be collected.

The tyrant thought of this and became extremely excited because then, perhaps Bai Wu could venture to the fifth layer of the Well World.

The layer that no one has ever visited before.

The Well Water had already appeared on the fourth layer, but the high-dimensional civilization of the past, led by the High Tower Master, entered here and exhausted the Well Water.

This mysterious substance that powers the Well could be said to have the potential to change the upcoming course of war.

But now, to find Well Water, one probably has to go to the fifth layer.

Perhaps there lies the deepest part of the Well.

Armed with the Seven Sins weapons and Doomsday Puzzle pieces, if Bai Wu manages to collect both, he might achieve something unprecedented.

"To sever distortion at its twisted source, perhaps this is something you can truly accomplish," the tyrant said excitedly, looking at the weapon in Bai Wu’s hand.

But someone didn’t think so.

Bai Wu furrowed his brows, that crazy drive coming back to him.

The forge was divided into two parts: smelting and incinerating.

The scrap was naturally incinerated.

All of Bai Wu’s previous attempts had been tossed into the incineration area.

This time, the tyrant had thought Bai Wu would keep the weapon on him, but next, Bai Wu did something very strange—

He pulled out Pride and Greed and threw the genuine Seven Sins weapons, along with the newly forged Envy Greatsword, into the incineration area.

The Seven Sins could not be truly destroyed, considered to be absolute Divine Artifacts.

But the depths of the Well World’s furnace could incinerate them.

What forged them could also destroy them.

From the incinerator came odd sounds, as if countless people were wailing.

The wails also tugged at the inverted tower’s topmost ceiling, those faces of despair.

Burning the true Seven Sins, this left the tyrant perplexed.

"Kid, have you gone mad?"

"Gluttony allows one to surpass the limits of vitality, Wrath can destroy all defense, Envy lets one trade one’s own injury for an even greater harm to the opponent, and Greed is the theft of the opponent’s strength..."

Bai Wu paid no attention to the tyrant but pondered some things:

"Sloth can make oneself immune to most negative states, Pride becomes stronger the fewer allies one has, and Lust can summon an opponent’s Parasitic Heart Demon."

"These powers... are indeed strong, and I do indeed need the help of the Seven Sins weapons, but I don’t think that they can fill the huge gap between me and Alpha."

"The tyrant’s strength is enough to crush the Seven Sins, whose power is already above mine, yet when a clone of Alpha attacked, not one of us could withstand it."

"With just seven abilities, can I really fight him? These Spirit Possession weapons, while powerful in and of themselves, could Alpha’s ability only be single?" freēwebnovel.com

"Although trapped by the Reverse Dimension, he has also been studying the Sequence in the High Tower for a long time..."

The tyrant listened to Bai Wu’s monologue and gradually understood his train of thought.

Even with understanding, he remained in awe.

Could it be that Bai Wu could break through once again?

Could he create an item even more powerful than the one in the design blueprints?

Remembering that the Master of the High Tower also took so very long to create the Seven Sins... while Bai Wu had only taken twenty-three days...

The tyrant suddenly felt that perhaps this kid really could do it?

"Back then, the Master of the High Tower also possessed the Seven Sins, but though he knew the way to the fifth layer, he might not have actually gone there. During the process of refining the Seven Sins, I have pondered why he would create them."

"Perhaps it was just a method to control emotions; I do indeed need the Seven Sins, but the true purpose of the Seven Sins blueprint... seems more like an insight."

"I need more time."

All the energy surrounding Bai Wu once again aligned into a complex pattern as Bai Wu breathed.

Bai Wu entered that highly focused state once again.

The tyrant had a feeling that at this moment, Bai Wu’s spiritual power was rapidly increasing.

The twenty-fourth day.

This day passed exceptionally slowly, unlike the previous days where Bai Wu was always staring at the Seven Sins blueprints or continuously sleeping...

Today, Bai Wu kept his eyes closed the entire time, his breathing maintaining a rhythm.

He neither expended his spiritual power on that strange blueprint, nor did he fall asleep due to extreme weakness.

Meditation is a peculiar thing.

The tyrant himself glanced at those blueprints, completely unable to understand, only feeling the ordered images in his mind becoming a tangled mess.

The twenty-sixth, twenty-seventh days.

Bai Wu opened his eyes and began to meditate on the Sequence Protocol.

The originally inscrutable Sequence Protocol seemed to begin revealing its true form.

Bai Wu decisively forgot the Seven Sins blueprints, focusing exclusively on the Sequence Protocol.

Everything seemed to be reversed.

But the tyrant was clear that this kid was studying both things at the same time.

This talent, truly astonishing.

On the twenty-ninth day, Bai Wu saw himself.

In an oddly vast expanse of white space, he saw countless figures.

Tang Jing had been to this place before because this is where one would enter after using the Sequence—God Descent.

Under the effect of Prayle’s Eye, Bai Wu could even see the true identities of these shadows.

He saw Yan Zizai, saw Xie Xingzhi, even saw Tang Jing, as well as himself.

Originally, Tang Jing’s use of God Descent gave him a chance to learn Bai Wu’s abilities, but at the same time, it allowed Bai Wu to personally experience the flow of the Sequence.

These flows were irregular, and at the time, Bai Wu could not detect these changes at all.

But now, Bai Wu recalled them.

So the first Sequence variation Bai Wu grasped... was God Descent.

Bai Wu was clear that it wasn’t Jing Si’s Sequence that was God Descent, but rather Jing Si’s Sequence—

He simulated God Descent.

Thus, Bai Wu exited this perspective and began to recall some things he was most familiar with.

Those Sequences that once belonged to him but were later taken away by the "sacrifice" of fragments.

Five Elements Cycle, motionless defense, Vision Enhancement, Iron Armament...

These stripped Sequences once again appeared on Bai Wu.

Although he still wasn’t able to fully grasp the Sequence protocol of Jing Si, Bai Wu had felt the power of this Sequence and guessed what it was.

"Talent Sequence 6—Law of Order. I didn’t expect his Sequence to be this one."

Bai Wu thought this should be a top twenty Sequence.

But now, it seemed he had underestimated Jing Si.

Below Immortal, above Reverse Dimension, there were a total of three Sequences.

Sequence 4 Rule Binding, Sequence 5 Psychic Silhouette, Sequence 6 Law of Order.

These three Sequences, each with their merits, the rankings actually no longer mattered.

Psychic Silhouette, Bai Wu didn’t know its use, but from its name, it must be a spiritual power stronger than Parasitic Heart Demon.

As for Rule Binding, as it currently appeared, the High Tower Master’s greatest weapon to defeat the Twisted Master was Rule Binding.

One of the three Sequences that could ignore Rule Binding, Immortal was possessed by Alpha, which also led to Alpha, although temporarily defeated, having the last laugh.

Relative to others, Sequence 6 was weaker because it was completely restrained by Sequence 4, and the five Sequences above Sequence 6 couldn’t be simulated.

Talent Sequence 6—Law of Order.

As the name suggests, without considering the five Sequences before it, this Sequence was like a summary.

By comprehending this Sequence, one could perceive the operating rules of Sequences.

By simulating other Sequences endlessly in a manner of "one produces two, two produce three, and three produce everything."

Bai Wu’s shadow began to distort irregularly.

Demon Shadow Form, he had only seen it once.

But that didn’t hinder his exceptional talent in simulating it.

"But this Sequence also has its shortcomings; it’s impossible to use many Sequences at the same time."

"However, the problem is not big. Maybe I can advance it?"

Strictly speaking, Bai Wu didn’t obtain this Sequence, but he learned it.

A Sequence capable of endless changes.

However, what was strange was that this Sequence protocol did not disappear, but its contents had been fully understood by Bai Wu.

Of course, according to the rules of Sequences, as a unique Sequence, no one else could possess this power.

Bai Wu was a bit confused, did he now possess this Sequence?

Then, if the Sequence protocol were to fall into someone else’s hands at this time, would they comprehend the same Sequence?

The answer to this question became clear to Bai Wu over the following days.

Unlike with the Seven Sins weapons, this time Bai Wu felt very satisfied.

"Although it still cannot bridge the gap between Alpha and me, this should bring many variances in actual combat."

In the following days, Bai Wu immersed himself in comprehending the Sequence, as if he had forgotten time.

On the thirtieth day, the light and shadows in the Sequence protocol suddenly all disappeared.

Bai Wu’s previous doubts were answered:

Prayle’s Eye popped up with a note:

"[Twisted can only be felt, but Order can be understood, and quite clearly, old chap, both intuitively and in terms of insight, I can give you nine out of ten. When you possess this Sequence, the Sequence protocol also self-destructs. Congratulations on becoming the second pure human to have the top six Sequences.]"

Even though he was a half-breed of the Well World and the real world, Bai Wu was indeed human.

But Bai Wu noticed a blind spot.

"What does that mean? The second one?"

Bai Yuan with the Parasitic Heart Demon and The Pursuer with the Ten Thousand Phantasmal Bodies were among the humans Bai Wu knew who had the top ten Sequences.

But not the top six.

Because on the sixth floor of the High Tower, Bai Wu had seen the Stele.

Bai Yuan was in a death state, among the first ten Sequences, only the Ten Thousand Phantasmal Bodies was possessed by someone.

"Prayle’s Eye has never deceived me, now that I have mastered the sixth Sequence, does that mean... someone had mastered a Sequence beyond the sixth?"

"But the Stele on the sixth layer of the High Tower states, among the first ten Sequences, only the Ten Thousand Phantasmal Bodies was possessed by someone."

"Does this mean... that pure human, is he dead?"

"Or has he... become an Evil Fallen? In any case, no longer a pure human."

Comprehending the Sequence Protocol in its entirety was undoubtedly a good thing.

In the process of comprehension, Bai Wu not only obtained this Sequence but also, in essence, acquired countless others.

At the same time, he gained a more fundamental understanding of Sequences themselves.

With this layer of progress, when Bai Wu looked again at the blueprints symbolizing distortion, he found that everything had undergone a groundbreaking change.

He had already succeeded in crafting the Seven Sins weapons but simply hoped to break through the limitations of the blueprints.

Yet, how easy could this be?

The former High Tower Master was a genius among high-dimensional beings. If he couldn’t do it, how could a human?

However, at this moment, Bai Wu seemed to truly sense the distortion.

"If I’m to break the blueprints’ limits, I must first remove their shapes."

Bai Wu got busy again, Tyrant, as before, collecting materials for Bai Wu.

He sensed a tremendous change in Bai Wu’s aura.

Now, Bai Wu seemed to have a layer of divinity about him.

But Bai Wu also began to converse, not just silently comprehending as he had done before.

It seemed as if, for the Bai Wu of today, crafting the Seven Sins had become so effortless... that he could establish a school and teach others out of familiarity.

The day before Bai Wu crafted the entirely new Seven Sins, his exchanges with Tyrant were more frequent than ever.

"Do you think we will meet again after I return to that world?"

"Of course, when you fall into emotional collapse, I’ll appear."

"Not necessarily, I feel I’ve grasped part of the distortion’s change; perhaps our meeting won’t be so troublesome."

At this, Bai Wu smiled:

"I will need your help, I remember you said that when the Evil Fallen Body and the human body respect each other and both acknowledge one another, their fusion, will preserve the memory of the Evil Fallen Body?"

Tyrant nodded:

"Yes, but such a fusion is rare because Evil Fallen are summoned when the human body is in a state of despair, fear, or extreme sorrow and anger. The Evil Fallen Body always sees the human at their weakest."

"Is that so? Well, I won’t let you witness that scene."

"I have already seen it."

Tyrant appeared disdainful, but that disdain soon disappeared.

Having been around Bai Wu, he knew that Bai Wu was someone whose emotions were not easily swayed by reality.

He could even be described as emotionally detached.

He had indeed seen Bai Wu at his most wretched and desperate.

In the third layer of the Well World, when Bai Wu couldn’t save Crimson, Tyrant also had an impression of Bai Wu’s collapse.

That’s why he couldn’t laugh; he found Bai Wu to be a very contradictory person.

"Tyrant, it looks like I have to go back."

The time had come.

The furnace reacted again, only this time, it didn’t spit out weapons like swords, umbrellas, or shields.

Instead, there were seven rings.

The emergence of the new Seven Sins meant that Bai Wu had completed his mission in the fourth layer of the Well World:

"I have to go back and collect the Doomsday Puzzle pieces, and I also need to see those who think I’ve died."

Naturally, Bai Wu wouldn’t leave immediately, to leave the Well World, and then to return, required some preparation time.

But Tyrant was very aware that the moment of departure was near.

When Bai Wu returned to the real world, he would likely face some crises as well.

It was just uncertain whether the Bai Wu of today could, with his own strength, dissolve all those crises.
