Free Web NovelChapter 615: Chapter 232: Charge Towards the Demon King at the Top of the Tower (10,000-Word Mega Chapter)
Distortion cannot converge under the starry sky.
The figure that stood proudly in the night sky seemed more like a deity than Alpha himself.
The real confrontation between the two had not yet begun, but the contest of momentum had already started.
Compared to the somewhat ferocious and angry Jing Si, Alpha, on the contrary, seemed more like a "righteous character."
He was refined and genteel, passing through the space-time labyrinth unruffled, immersed in his thoughts the entire way.
"I am not surprised to encounter you, my child. Seeing you stray off the path causes me great distress. Distortion has taken such good care of you, aside from Bai Wu and my old rival, you may be the most talented individual I have ever seen."
Alpha raised his head, he and Jing Si were neither too close nor too far apart, but his soft whisper could be heard clearly by Jing Si.
The two of them were in the northern corner of the city.
Jing Si stood proudly under the starry sky, surrounded by seemingly abandoned and desolate commercial buildings, long since uninhabited.
Alpha, on the other hand, walked down another alley, like a traveler in a hurry.
He spoke the truth; in his eyes, Jing Si indeed possessed exceptional talent, and even though his face remained calm when he saw Jing Si’s star domain, he felt a sense of admiration inside.
"My old rival has grasped the Rule Binding and created a world that is not so twisted. You are no less remarkable than him, having understood a domain that is diametrically opposed to the essence of the Well."
"But you have never defeated the Well."
After uttering these words, Alpha shook his head.
"And you won’t be able to defeat me, either."
Jing Si looked at Alpha:
"I never thought I would defeat you, but as long as I’m here, you won’t be able to unravel this space-time enigma. In this, I am quite confident."
"Oh?"
Alpha pondered Jing Si’s words and soon nodded in agreement, acknowledging that Jing Si might be right:
"Without dealing with you, I suppose I cannot unleash distortion to throw this labyrinth into chaos."
"Let go of your pride, Master of Distortion."
By this point, it seemed unnecessary to carry on with the dialogue.
Alpha had already reclaimed all of his bodies outside of his heart, including those eyes.
His "Eyes of God" could see many truths.
He looked at Jing Si calmly as if he had seen through the most terrifying monster in the world.
About a second later, Alpha sighed:
"Sealing my mind and thoughts is indeed a viable plan, but obviously, you do not have that much time. And you... did you really find peace?"
Jing Si did not understand the remark, but the next second, he witnessed a scene that enraged and even infuriated him.
Behind Alpha, the light and shadow began to transform.
In the third layer of the Well World, outside the Windmill Tower, the scene where Alpha’s clone killed Jing Liu reappeared.
"I believe you were seduced by her, but I have already killed her."
Jing Si’s pupils trembled violently, his eyes nearly bursting. The star domain of the Inverted Well in the sky suddenly expanded.
His emotions were on the verge of being out of control.
Alpha looked at Jing Si as if watching a child who never grew up, but he continued to speak words that enraged the child:
"Look at her, so weak. She barely managed to deceive everyone, thinking she could slip into the Well like a shadow..."
"But what a pity, the Power of Causality didn’t kill her, and though she barely survived, she still died."
"She wanted to find the Well."
"She was not very clever, and I always wondered, what exactly was she after? A smart person should not easily change their stance or falter in self-contradiction."
"But her reaction upon death... perhaps she was indeed conflicted. She thought about using you but also about sacrificing herself to help you."
"Heh, such a self-contradictory child. Maybe along the way, she didn’t help Bai Wu, and maybe she had envisioned a different future at that time?"
"She wanted to turn the lies she told you into reality. But still, the same point stands: one should not harbor ambitions beyond their capabilities."
The light and shadow gradually faded.
Jing Liu was annihilated.
In that moment, the enraged Jing Si let out a painful roar!
He was already lucid, aware to some extent that his sister, Jing Liu, had used him.
But during that twisted journey, he and Jing Liu had relied on each other for survival, entrusting their lives to one another, and that could not have been faked.
Later on... everything was as Alpha had described, Jing Liu was conflicted.
It seemed her every maneuver was for her own sake, yet there was a time when she became confused, and her actions appeared to lie somewhere between good and evil.
Unlike Bai Yuan, who played with good and evil, Jing Liu seemed to have reached a halfway point and hesitated.
If not for this hesitation... perhaps she would have been more of a schemer?
But it was all over, she was completely dead.
The furious roar of Jing Si echoed through the space-time labyrinth, resonating in countless different dimensions.
The immense rage plunged him back into a state of madness.
That desire to destroy everything in the world rapidly enveloped him.
Annihilate everything within sight.
That was the only thought left in his mind.
Alpha observed everything calmly, slowly taking steps towards the next area.
As long as he could steer clear of this crazed child, he could easily demolish the labyrinth.
Even... the very existence of this child would bring about the collapse of the Space-Time Labyrinth.
"The greatest mistake of humanity was that you should never have been deemed an ally," he said.
Without lifting a finger, he saw through Jing Si’s character flaw within a few words.
Alpha, like a consort to the Twisted Bai Wu, was so lazy to act that he would resolve things with words if possible.
Thus, the labyrinth became extremely vulnerable, as Jing Si turned in an instant from an ally of the human side to a neutral evil force.
Alpha stood with his hands behind his back, striding hundreds of meters in a single step, passing by Jing Si without even a glance.
But he should have taken that glance.
The powerful aura of space-time reversed, the surrounding buildings crumbling and almost turned to dust... began to restore bit by bit as if time was moving backward.
It was as if someone had pressed the rewind button on all the scenes.
"I will avenge my little sister! Today’s showdown, between you and me, will not end until one of us is dead!" he exclaimed.
Alpha’s figure stalled.
The city, which had turned dark because of the emergence of the star domain, suddenly became even darker.
For within the starry sky... a gigantic fist, large enough to blot out the sun, descended silently!
There was no overwhelming momentum, no storm stirring across the city!
It just descended in an instant.
By the time Alpha saw it, it was already too late to defend.
Space began to shatter rapidly, the entire city split by The First Generation’s Temporal Power into countless "small cubes."
Each cube was in a different time and space.
And now, this cube... was instantly filled with cracks. The entire space was compressed, intersecting and forming a labyrinth of space-time...
At this moment, the huge space of this cube was like a twisted and deformed can, completely out of shape.
Even sound, airflows, and shadows no longer operated under normal physical rules.
Alpha, hit directly by that vast punch... was utterly unable to withstand the terrifying force of the punch, and the punch with its shocking momentum even pushed Alpha into the next space.
Or rather, to avoid the shocking power of this punch, Alpha voluntarily fled into the next space-time.
But in the next space-time, Jing Si was already waiting there.
"You can’t escape," he declared.
The stars reappeared, and Jing Si, like a god or demon, glared at Alpha.
Alpha could feel that Jing Si’s emotions were escalating rapidly, and he would soon lose control again.
But the other had already overcome one loss of control, and naturally, he had a way to overcome a second one.
"It seems I underestimated you," he admitted.
The powerful punch had also damaged the Immortal Divine Body, but the damage was restored in an instant.
However, what surprised Alpha was not Jing Si’s destructive power that was terrifying enough to damage the Divine Body, but Jing Si’s rationality.
He knew that Jing Si, relying on the legendary Mutation Entry Reincarnation, could return to a normal state before losing control.
But the problem was, Jing Si had already lost control, and he shouldn’t remember to use Reincarnation at all.
"It seems I have not only underestimated you but also underestimated humanity," he concluded.
...
...
Denglin City, Cemetery.
In the cemetery, The Pursuer, Lin Rui, Yin He, Xu Wei, The First Generation, and others were all there.
Although in terms of spatial distance, they were not far from Alpha.
But to cross this "not far" distance, one had to bypass countless spaces and times.
Not long ago, The First Generation used Spacetime Form to converse with Alpha.
When his self-awareness returned to the main body, he frowned:
"He’s a powerful guy, honestly... I thought there was a big gap between our abilities, but I never imagined it could be this big," he said.
Although he had uttered bold words in front of Alpha about trapping him alone, it was false to say there was no shock in his heart.
Even though Alpha had not revealed his full aura, it was still enough for The First Generation to feel an insurmountable gap in power.
"The Space-Time Labyrinth won’t trap him, but the formation to summon the Stele will only activate once he enters Denglin City... Now we need time."
"Can’t we just harass him... stop him?" asked Lin Rui.
The Pursuer, Yin He, and Xu Wei were also very curious. Each of them was among the most top-notch combat forces. The formation had already been activated; all they needed to do was to keep Alpha trapped in the maze and wait for the formation to fully take effect and seal it.
But in this process, someone needed to contain Alpha.
The First Generation shook his head:
"Unfortunately, facing such an opponent, we even find it difficult to contain them."
To exceed the Well Level meant one had become one of the most powerful creatures in the world.
But during that war in Baichuan City, Jing Er and Jing Wu were instantly killed by Jing Si in the blink of an eye.
The monsters at the Origin Level above them... were simply too powerful. This gap wasn’t even remotely close to the previous gradations of realms.
The First Generation was well aware that they were like rabbits, and Alpha was the lion, and this battle could only wait for the trap to take effect.
If they tried to engage Alpha with the bodies of rabbits head-on, then there was needless to fight this battle at all.
The Pursuer knew very well the character of The First Generation and knew that the other party wouldn’t scaremonger without reason.
Yin He remarked with a sigh:
"Fortunately... we have Jing Si."
"Yes, fortunately, we have Jing Si. Moreover, under your guidance not long ago, he has even eliminated the last bit of risk in Reincarnation, right?" Xu Wei looked towards The First Generation.
The First Generation nodded. Although Alpha was mighty, so powerful that even they found it difficult to engage with it seriously.
But The First Generation was always calm, and his confidence came from...
Jing Si.
Not long ago, Jing Si, worried about being mentally disturbed by Alpha’s words, sought Xu Wei and The First Generation to strengthen the usage of Reincarnation.
These two people, most knowledgeable about Temporal Power, naturally came up with an improvement plan.
Now, Jing Si... would never fall into such an uncontrollable predicament again.
In the Space-Time Labyrinth, as long as Jing Si fell into a state of madness, Reincarnation would activate itself, restoring Jing Si to a rational state.
But this was limited to when Reincarnation could be activated. If Jing Si himself was in a state where Reincarnation couldn’t start, then all of this would be in vain.
Shortly after their discussion, Alpha’s distortion cracked open a dimension in the immeasurable space.
And that was when Jing Si made his move.
Following that, with an exceedingly powerful punch, Jing Si twisted a spatial dimension to the point of being unrecognizable. The moment this force was released, it even corroded away various physical laws, causing everything to fall silent.
But after the force of the punch dispersed, the terrifying destructive power had already caused the surrounding spatial dimensions to appear collapsed.
The mighty destructive force left everyone dumbstruck.
Yin He turned to look at The Pursuer:
"Did you really survive from that plane... all those times ago? You’re not actually a dead man, are you?"
These words were, of course, a joke, but it was only now that The Pursuer realized... just how terrifying the gap between his power and that of Jing Si was.
He had even once considered purifying such a monster.
Until now, no one had seen Jing Si’s strike at full strength.
Back in the day, although The First Generation had fought with Jing Si, back then, Jing Si hadn’t gone through seven hundred years of continuous comprehension.
He was not yet able to integrate the Inverted Well Domain into every move.
The First Generation also stood up at this time:
"Next, we’ll see if Jing Si can hold off Alpha. Everyone... if Jing Si slips up, do not panic, continue to do what we’re supposed to do."
"What if Alpha finds us?" The Pursuer asked.
The First Generation was silent for a few seconds, his gaze falling on the tombstones:
"Then we shall be buried alongside the heroes who once struggled for humanity."
He turned and walked toward the golden vortex, the entrance to the next area.
Lin Rui said:
"Senior... what are you going to do?"
The First Generation smiled. He was accustomed to wearing a mask, but he hadn’t been wearing it lately.
Now he took out the mask again.
"Someone else came with Alpha."
Jing Yi.
Lin Rui expressed his surprise:
"Are you going... to confront him?"
He didn’t know how strong Jing Yi actually was, but he was sure that the strongest Well Level beneath Jing Si was Jing Yi.
The First Generation nodded:
"I have some scores to settle with him, and they need to be settled either way. Besides, that guy is dangerous. If left unchecked, he might even find a way to break the Space-Time Labyrinth."
"I’ll go with you..." Lin Rui was interrupted before he could finish his sentence:
"This is a matter for the people of the last era; you stay here. Trust your idol; I am also very strong."
The First Generation’s expression was not visible, he turned his head to look at Lin Rui, Lin Rui could only see his eyes full of fighting spirit, as well as the perpetual smile on his mask.
He felt that he should stop the First Generation.
But he couldn’t speak a word.
The man’s eyes were not those of someone seeking death, but truly someone who wanted to put an end to everything.
Seeing the First Generation like this, Lin Rui suddenly felt...
This man was invincible.
The First Generation’s figure vanished, and another great battle commenced.
Lin Rui actually very much wanted to see what kinds of formidable enemies this hero, who was originally part of him, had faced.
But he still stopped himself, staying within this single space of the graveyard.
"There is no last era or next era, Heroes... should never cease, keep it up! The other me!"
...
...
The skyscraper was lifted from the ground by powerful forces, the numerous towering buildings seemed like slender blades in the eyes of two giants.
Alpha’s duel with Jing Si finally began.
Space shattered, one grid after another.
But it didn’t matter, Jing Si didn’t need to care about anything, he just needed to keep attacking!
With the extension of the timeline, in this space-time labyrinth, there were countless such spaces.
Destroy today’s, then move on to the next day or the day before.
Destroy this year’s, then step to the previous year or the next one.
The vast space-time labyrinth itself was a battlefield that could not be exhausted.
Only such a battlefield could allow two Origin-Level monsters to battle heartily.
Annihilating punches that could extinguish everything, a mere punch held the might of world destruction.
But Jing Si’s assault, such shadows of punches were endless and continuous!
In every grid of space, all things continuously shattered, disintegrated, turned to ash.
His attacks were terrifying and had Alpha suppressed for a time.
If Li You could witness this, he would be astonished that there existed someone in this world who could suppress Alpha.
But after hundreds of punches... Alpha still appeared unflustered and calm.
His body had been crushed by the enormous shadow of the punches hundreds of times, his shape twisted, but as soon as Jing Si’s offensive paused for a moment, he instantly recovered.
The barrage of attacks did not cause Alpha actual harm, but Jing Si wasn’t surprised.
He retracted his fists.
"Show your true strength, Twisted Master!"
"I am not arrogant, my child, in fact, your Inverted Well makes me quite uncomfortable. But I have gotten the answer I wanted, and now, I will kill you,"
Alpha, who had always seemed godlike, finally changed his posture.
In that moment, the black mist seemed to grow even denser.
It wrapped around Alpha’s body, and Jing Si attempted to attack Alpha in that instant...
But from within the vast black mist, a monstrous hand suddenly intercepted Jing Si’s punch.
This hand was covered with strange mouths, oozing purple-black viscous fluid between teeth and tongue.
The black mist exploded outward, filling the entire space.
Everything around seemed to be smeared with a layer of ink. High above the tens of thousands of feet, the black mist coalesced into clouds denser than the starry sky, obscuring the stars entirely.
"You like hand-to-hand combat? Then let’s abandon the realm, and have a hearty brawl!"
The monstrous figure wrapped in the black mist finally revealed its complete body...
Its form was quite similar to that of Nie Chongshan, especially the horns and wings, making it resemble a demon.
But in comparison, it was more twisted and evil, and even more... formidable.
The body full of purple pupils, the arms covered with mouths, the entire head devoid of other features but a huge red eye upside down on the forehead.
The crimson eye was like the entrance to hell itself, inspiring dread at a glance, and under the gaze of such an abyss, it seemed as if all things in the world could be seen through.
Its grey body was scattered with even darker Sequence symbols, amidst the vicious mouths and eyes, as if written over with curse-filled Sequence scriptures.
The true form of the Divine Body was displayed.
Void, chaos, demon. Just by seeing this body, one would instinctively think of these most mysterious and terrifying words.
This also meant that from this point on... Alpha would hold nothing back and display his formidable combat strength!
Before his soul could be sealed by the stele, he would completely tear apart the enemy before him, killing everyone who obstructed the Twisted.
Jing Si couldn’t imagine that his Inverted Well would be covered by the Well Domain.
Those brilliant stars, capable of dissolving any distortion, were covered by the twisted black mist.
Beneath the black mist and stars, two of the strongest creatures began a battle devoid of any skill or domain, an utterly primitive and wild fight and brawl.
They could not capture their figures.
Even perception was hard to grasp.
The constantly fracturing and twisting space, the buildings being reduced to flying ash and dust, all indicated that this world was being destroyed bit by bit!
Even the golden space-time barriers began to collapse, not because they were consumed by the twists, but simply because a purely... excessively strong physical attack had shattered the dimensions.
The air compressed to its limit made the surrounding scenery appear blurred and twisted, and even began to emit a thunderous roar.
Matter kept annihilating, as if a god was thoroughly dismantling the world.
This was no longer a fight between living beings.
Although the Space-Time Labyrinth transferred the impact of all battles to the various eras of Ddnglin City, still a small portion of the aura, crossing countless spaces and times... arrived at the correct timeline, causing tremendous changes.
...
...
Sanchez City.
The liberated people, all stood on the streets, looking up at the sky.
Black cracks spread continuously from an unseen distance.
They even spread to the area beyond the Mist.
It was the people’s first time seeing such a scene, as if a world was about to be destroyed. Dense lightning tore through the clouds, bursting forth from countless fissures.
The terrifying energy fluctuations heralded that somewhere, a catastrophe was unfolding.
Wen Hao was shocked by the sight.
At the same time, in Mechanical City, Zero saw something even more exaggerated and terrifying.
Severe electromagnetic interference left most of the city’s equipment in a strange state.
As if a solar flare had erupted, the satellite navigation images showed clouds moving in a spiral pattern, unknown radiation appearing around the planet.
And outside the earth... all satellites captured countless meteors moving irregularly.
The end of the world.
Even the unflappable Zero, upon seeing this scene, subconsciously thought of the apocalypse.
Not just the skies, even the ocean became restless at this moment.
In the waters, outside the giant Ark moored by the shore... a tremendous wave surged, as if it wanted to engulf the Ark.
Even the twisted seas had not seen such a terrifying wave in seven hundred years.
Innumerable massive ocean creatures emitted whale-like cries, signaling that destruction was coming.
This was not the center of the battlefield; it was merely the inadvertently escaped aura of a clash between two godlike demons from the Space-Time Labyrinth.
...
...
Ddnglin City was amidst violent shaking.
In the timeline of the battle between Alpha and Jing Si in Ddnglin City, no place remained intact.
The intense hand-to-hand combat kept the world watching in terror.
Jing Si’s body was full of potholes, while Alpha stood unscathed, arrogantly holding up Jing Si with one hand:
"I’m getting a bit tired... Are you surprised?"
Jing Si kept gasping for breath.
The desperate melee was tiring even for him.
The time was brief, their exchange only lasted for about ten minutes. But for the two combatants, it had been a long duel,
In those ten minutes or so, the world seemed like it was about to be destroyed.
The Space-Time Labyrinth had stabilized, but many of its "cells" were affected by the impact.
"Don’t be surprised, your strength has indeed amazed me, more troublesome than I anticipated. But the fact proves, you are still inferior to me."
During the recent duel, Jing Si was actually very close to Alpha.
But close as they were, he was ultimately defeated elsewhere.
Those red, vertically aligned single eyes seemed as if they could see through every move he made.
Especially since... Alpha did not need to defend.
What widened the gap was not this, but Alpha’s attacks... as if they could cause Jing Si some kind of irreversible damage.
Every hit by Jing Si, to the Immortal Body of Alpha, was an attack he could face head-on without any concern.
Even if formidable strength could annihilate matter and harm the Immortal Body,
For Alpha, it all did not matter.
He had experienced more intense battles, but he knew clearly, he was the embodiment of immortality.
He and the Sequence Immortal had merged perfectly.
But Jing Si did not have such confidence, the so-called melee was in fact playing to his enemy’s strengths.
As a "disciple" of The First Generation, The First Generation’s attacks, which are nearly as immortal as Jing Si, could still negate the immortality of Jing Si.
Because the notion that only The First Generation can kill a Well Level entity had become deeply ingrained.
One could never be defeated, and the other could be killed. Even if their strength was the same, the outcome of this battle was already predetermined.
"You have lost, my child,"
"In the immortal Twisted World, I will remember you."
Annihilation took place upon Jing Si’s body, a setting that was irreversible and unalterable—
The source of immortality could kill those who were blessed with immortality.
If Jing Si had displayed the Inverted Well Domain, perhaps the battle could have dragged on longer.
But clearly, in terms of strategic wisdom, The First Generation was superior.
And by this point, it was a little too late for Jing Si to invoke the domain.
The intense Hei Wu in the sky completely obscured the light of the Inverted Well.
This fierce, yet brief, battle soon ended.
"At the beginning of your birth, I had already entered the High Tower. So even though your powers are continuously strengthened, and you possess strength second only to mine, what of it? You don’t understand how easy it is for me to kill you all."
This ease did not reflect a gap in combat strength, but was enshrined in the "setting" itself—the source of immortality could reclaim the life force of the immortals.
If it had been pure physical combat, Jing Si could have held out against The First Generation for a very long time, long enough to wait for the great formation to be activated.
But no one knew of this setting. Jing Si only understood one thing: The First Generation could kill him, but what he hadn’t anticipated was... just how easy and straightforward this process of killing would be.
None of his strikes could inflict any substantial damage on The First Generation.
Yet each of The First Generation’s strikes was like the arrival of the God of Destruction, able to cause his body to start eroding away.
Jing Si was, of course, not defeated yet. He still had Reincarnation, which could return him to his peak state even as he approached destruction.
This line of thought was indeed correct, but Jing Si’s combat wisdom was far inferior to that of The First Generation.
"You’re too kind and too honest, my child. In short, you’re too foolish,"
"You must be thinking that with Reincarnation, you’d have the capital to fight me. But did you ever consider whether I would give you the chance to use Reincarnation?"
The First Generation grasped Jing Si’s throat, and the aura of annihilation spread from the palm of his hand.
Jing Si tried to activate Reincarnation but found that his connection with distortion... had been cut off.
"I need Sequence 10 and Sequence 12 to comprehend the power of order, but I don’t need them to manipulate the power of distortion. Never mind, there’s no need to tell you too much. Go meet your sister, if there indeed is a hell in this world."
Life force started to drain rapidly, and Jing Si realized that The First Generation had already sealed off every place with Hei Wu during the duel.
The golden crisscrossing Temporal Power turned Denglin City into countless small worlds within its grid.
But in this very small world, distortion had severed the connection of Temporal Power with him.
Or rather... The First Generation had created a sealed space where entries could not be used.
This was his hidden tactic, a power also worthy of being called Origin Level.
Or maybe it was an enhanced version of the "Equality of All Beings."
Unless he used the Inverted Well to dissolve the distortion and expose a gap in this space, he would then be able to activate Reincarnation again.
This was something Jing Si could do.
But he did not have the time.
The patch of the starry domain from the Inverted Well was obscured by the black clouds condensed from Hei Wu. freeweɓnøvel.com
Piercing through those black clouds with sharp stellar light was not difficult... but it required time.
And now... the Grim Reaper’s scythe was already poised at Jing Si’s neck.
This most formidable monster was dying. What he lacked was time!
If Jing Si was defeated, this Space-Time Labyrinth would no longer trap The First Generation.
"After losing in close combat, you wish to challenge me in the domain?"
"Inverted Well is very powerful. I find it incredible that you could comprehend such a law. But I won’t give you this chance."
If it wasn’t for the fact that killing Jing Si also required time, The First Generation would not have hesitated; he dreaded the domain known as Inverted Well.
He wished to kill Jing Si in an instant.
But all of this required time.
And The First Generation... also lacked time.

...
Denglin City Technology Tower.
All the scientists had already taken their instruments to the alloy-reinforced room at the lowest level of the tower.
It was a room built by the scientists of the tower seven hundred years ago as an emergency shelter in case Evil Fallen breached the tower one day.
Jing Si’s confrontation with The First Generation shocked everyone beyond the Mist.
For those near the battlefield, if not for being in another dimension, they would have likely been impacted and perished by now.
These scientists certainly hoped to stay alive.
"The distortion sensor shows his life has dropped to freezing point... and there are no signs of recovery, damn it, why won’t he initiate Reincarnation?"
Xie Yingjie couldn’t maintain his composure as a great scientist anymore, now cursing uncontrollably.
He had never much liked Jing Si since seven hundred years ago. Unlike Tao Xingzhi, who always believed that Jing Si was humanity’s hope, Xie Xingzhi regarded Jing Si as a potential hazard.
"Their duel is too terrifying, we can no longer pinpoint their location, but that part of the starry sky can still be sensed," Xie Xingzhi said.
Xie Yingjie looked at the scientists:
"Get ready... let’s try the fruits of our labor."
"Are you sure? We still haven’t received the signal!" a female scientist expressed her doubts.
Having lived in the high-rise for too long, Xie Yingjie was actually more aware of the dangers of battling Evil Fallen:
"Listen to me, from now on, follow my lead! Listen, I don’t like that monster Jing Si... but right now we need him, target that part of the starry sky! Activate the amplifier! If he dies, our efforts will be meaningless!"
"And he’s dying!"
He was dying.
These few words saddened some, even such a monster was dying... as human beings, could we really make a change?
Such thoughts were indeed normal, but the actions of the scientists didn’t slow down:
"Amplifier activation ready."
"Area localization complete, can we locate that spacetime?"
"That’s a matter for those Temporal Power holders, we just launch, now, I’ll give you a launch point. Aim toward the north, those guys will make sure he bounces around like a pool ball before sinking into the hole!"
Xie Yingjie proved himself to be someone who had ruled for seven hundred years; this scientist, who typically immersed himself in silent invention, now took all responsibilities onto his shoulders.
Seven hundred years ago, he had fled.
Seven hundred years later, he returned to the city he once researched in with old Tao and picked up everything once again.
He didn’t know what the consequences would be, who knew if this Twisted Amplifier would act like a strong cardiac stimulant in an operating room, helping the monster to get out of the crisis.
Who knew if this was a decision that would lead to human extinction, but surely, someone had to make that decision, right?
Xie Yingjie gestured grandly:
"Launch countdown!"
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
"Launch!"
The Denglin City Science and Technology Building, from the twentieth floor to the top, all the instruments started to go haywire at this moment.
The Twisted Amplifier was closely related to Jing Si.
Because up until now, all experiments had been conducted on Jing Si.
This contraption, which only existed in conception and which scientists had negated the fruit of seven hundred year’s worth of effort as a temporary idea, had until now only been successful in theory...
They had never practiced it even once.
And now... the Science and Technology Building was like a giant launcher, a black beam of intense light instantly shot towards the golden vortex at the top of the Denglin Technology Building.
...
...
The graveyard.
Golden Temporal Power surrounded Xu Wei, Lin Rui, and The Pursuer.
A black light traveled through numerous vortices...
These vortices acted like mirrors, constantly changing the trajectory of the black light.
"I thought those humans would have some hesitation, whether this thing would be effective or backfire... no one knows. But they were so decisive!"
Yin He was somewhat worried, but Lin Rui just laughed:
"Don’t underestimate humans at their last extremity!"
...
...
The northern corner of Denglin City, annihilated to the point of resembling the surface of the moon, where nothing else remained except for Jing Si and Alpha.
The atmosphere of death and annihilation enveloped Jing Si.
The battle seemed already over.
But suddenly... a gap appeared in the clouds above.
Jing Si, who was on the verge of despair, suddenly looked up, like a person about to die of thirst in the desert... who had finally received an unexpected rainfall!
A faint starlight finally pierced through the cloud layer formed by the Black Mist.
A world sealed from using Entries—a crack had appeared.
The crack was still spreading!
Through the aid of the possessors of Temporal Power, that pitch-black light traversed countless space-time vortices... and arrived precisely at the nebula.
In the inky blackness of space, the stars’ glow was amplified in that instant!
Suddenly, the starlight blazed brilliantly!
The previously impenetrable black clouds were also pierced by the amplified light.
Alpha’s eyes widened, he had been surprised before, he had frowned, but for the first time, he seemed somewhat panicked.
The aura of annihilation on Jing Si dissipated in an instant.
As the domain that excluded all Mutation Entries crumbled, Reincarnation was activated in an instant!
Jing Si, who had been on the brink of death, returned to his peak state!
"Annihilate!"
Jing Si growled a single word.
The starlight, which had been dazzling even beneath the black clouds, became even more blinding!
The intense light, like spotlights on a pitch-black stage, poured down in beams!
The Twisted Realm that Alpha had constructed was instantly riddled with holes.
Instead of retreating, Jing Si advanced, and in a moment when Alpha’s clone was distracted, he even seized Alpha’s throat with one hand:
"My domain is called Inverted Well! Twisted Master, my mission in life is to destroy you! I will not rest until I do!"
Alpha regained his senses:
"This isn’t your power," he freed himself from Jing Si’s grasp.
His figure instantly moved back hundreds of meters.
Jing Si glanced at the stars, so dazzlingly bright, so scorchingly brilliant; he had never seen such a sky before.
"Indeed, this isn’t my power. Seven hundred years ago, had I not betrayed them... I might have already qualified to challenge you!"
"But fortunately... they didn’t give up, and I also have the chance for redemption!"
Flickering amidst the starlight was not just Jing Si’s power... but also the hope of all humanity!
This time, Jing Si would no longer shrink back. He would engage in a relentless battle with the final Demon King at the top of the Magic Tower!
"It seems this time, we are set for a showdown of ’domains,’" Alpha suddenly realized why he couldn’t see through causality in this battle.
Because at this moment, he no longer had the assurance of victory. This Jing Si, bearing the hope of humanity, was too powerful.
...
...
Ddnglin City, the city center.
From a distance, one could see the Denglin Technology skyscraper where Jing Yi stood, and he wasn’t pleased by the sight before him.
He knew all too well, that the golden vortex in front of the building would only take him further away from the skyscraper.
But he was not disappointed.
For he, who was favored by the gods, could now harness a portion of the Twisted.
Just as he had done on Black Gold Island.
He could feel that the skyscraper likely harbored a secret weapon of the anti-Twisted Forces.
If he could just break the Temporal Power barrier nearby and force a gap in the labyrinth, he would be able to enter the building.
His plan wasn’t wrong.
It’s just that in preparation for facing the Twisted, humanity had also considered many possibilities.
When Jing Yi approached the vortex, ready to summon the pseudo-Divine Body to break through the Temporal Power barrier, a golden figure appeared behind him:
"If I were you, I’d take care of the enemy behind me first, before dealing with the humans ahead," the smiling mask induced an instinctive repulsion in Jing Yi, who sighed:
"It’s the father’s fault for not teaching his children. I’ve been wondering where you had hidden yourself, whether you were truly dead or not."
"How could I die before I personally end you?" The golden light slowly faded, and the eyes of The First Generation sharpened.
Jing Yi spread his hands:
"Among all the children in the farm, you few were the best, but among you... you were the one I disliked the most."
"That’s good to hear, because I don’t like you either."
"Come then, my rebellious child, my Divine Body needs powerful souls. By vanquishing you, this Space-Time Labyrinth will probably collapse too, saving me the trouble of breaking it down piece by piece."
Jing Yi’s body was gradually covered by a Twisted Form:
"It’s a shame the others didn’t live, I can only recover you, the ugliest one."
Whilst the gods and demons waged their fierce battle, another war over old grudges from a bygone era was quietly unfolding.
Recalling his former companions, The First Generation chuckled:
"I alone am enough to take you down. After all, I was the best fighter among those people back then."
