Chapter 367: Chapter367-A Rainbow Falling from the Sky
"Hmm? What is going on?"
Camille stopped wiping his longsword and focused his senses on the fluctuations coming from Daniel.
Mosi walked out from the void, his face carrying a trace of surprise.
"What is happening?"
James felt the tremors surging through heaven and earth.
"Wait... could Big Brother Faustus have caused this heaven-shaking commotion?"
"No... is he about to advance?"
A thought flashed through his mind, but it was quickly extinguished by reason.
"No, breaking free from the shackles of the universe can’t possibly be that easy. Even T9 Oracle-grade beings are helpless against it."
Daniel also sensed that something was wrong.
The sudden emergence of that world will power gave rise to an indescribable premonition in his heart.
But now, the arrow was already on the string and had to be released!
He immediately poured in all his strength, pushing the fusion of his Divine Domain and sage rank forward!
...
The Other Shore.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—!
Flames ignited around Kelly.
Seven-colored flames intertwined and coiled together, like a rainbow stretching across the sky.
Kelly looked toward Daniel’s location, her gaze filled with resolve.
"Kelly... you were right."
"Even if I were allowed to choose countless times... I would still make the same choice."
"Even though I have already discovered that you deceived me. The one truly undergoing the tribulation... is me."
"Kelly, you are the tribulation I must face!"
Kelly recalled the fragments she had seen in the Time River, together with the revelation from the spirit of the world will, and her heart had now completely understood everything.
"So I was once that powerful—the Rank Kelly possesses is the Rank I once touched, a Strength capable of suppressing Eternal Sages!"
"But I still have one final trial left... Egoless Judgment."
"Kelly wants me to disappear, but she can only make me willingly walk toward the end. And in this world, there is only one person who can make me willingly go to my death."
"So Kelly laid down a deathtrap. The Chaosverse is the universe Kelly personally created in the current space-time." freeweɓnøvel.com
"All of this is aimed at Faustus. Faustus is the bait on the hook. I am the fish. And the angler... is Kelly!"
The radiance around Kelly grew increasingly intense, dazzling like a burning star!
She flew out of the Other Shore like a flaming arrow, falling straight toward Daniel’s location.
...
Within the Time River. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Kelly stood with her hands behind her back, quietly watching Kelly’s movements.
"It is time to begin."
That eternal coldness of hers finally showed a trace of fluctuation.
With a wave of her hand, a ray of light instantly descended upon the Chaosverse.
That ray of light chased after the rainbow Kelly had transformed into.
...
The Astral Realm.
Daniel was fully focused.
Under his control, his Divine Domain struck that invisible barrier again and again.
That faint obstruction seemed farther away than the distance between universes, visible yet unreachable.
"Am I going to fail again this time?"
Daniel’s expression showed no ripple.
The many powerhouses watching from afar also sank into disappointment.
Daniel’s side seemed to have already fallen silent.
"We got our hopes up for nothing. It’s another failure."
"We were thinking too much... to actually believe Faustus could break through the shackles set by a supreme-grade existence."
"Exactly. How could any powerhouse break free from the shackles of the universe? Even T9 Oracle-grade beings are helpless. How could Faustus possibly do it?"
"Sigh..."
Countless powerhouses were preparing to turn and leave.
But at that moment, someone suddenly shouted.
"Look! A rainbow—!"
Whoosh, whoosh—!
Many powerhouses raised their heads and looked into the distance.
They saw a rainbow that seemed to be burning, flying toward Daniel’s location.
Every living being in the Astral Realm personally saw that brilliant rainbow!
"Why would a rainbow suddenly appear? Is it an anomaly caused by Faustus’s advancement?"
"No. Look carefully. That isn’t a simple rainbow."
A sage narrowed his eyes.
"That should be the manifestation of some kind of energy."
"That’s right. Something inside it seems to be burning."
"Burning? Could it be another powerhouse who has chosen to end their own life?"
"No. That rainbow is filled with vitality and surging Strength. It is definitely not the destruction of one who has fallen!"
"Look closely. Its target is very clear—it is heading straight for Faustus."
...
"What is that?"
Daniel saw it as well.
He saw a rainbow fly over from nowhere and directly sink into his sage rank.
To outsiders, that rainbow was dazzling and magnificent.
But in Daniel’s eyes, it stirred an inexplicable tremor in his heart.
It was as though, many years ago, in a valley, there had been a rainbow held in Kelly’s palm.
He slowly raised his wrist.
There was a knotted cord tied around it, its color exactly the same as the rainbow before him.
"Kelly..."
Daniel softly spoke that name.
"No—!"
Daniel’s pupils suddenly contracted.
He shot into the sky, his voice carrying trembling disbelief.
"It’s burning. Kelly’s aura is wrapped inside it!"
"It’s Kelly!"
Stormy waves surged in Daniel’s heart.
He used all his strength to cut off the connection between his Divine Domain and sage rank.
"If her life burns out like this, she will die. She will completely vanish from this world, without even dust remaining!"
He did not understand why Kelly had appeared here.
He did not understand why she had made such a choice.
He did not understand why she had turned herself into a burning rainbow.
Daniel only knew one thing.
If that rainbow continued burning, Kelly would be reduced to ashes before his eyes, without even leaving behind a farewell.
So he desperately tried to stop everything.
Yet what horrified him was—
He could not withdraw his Divine Domain and sage rank template!
They seemed to have been firmly locked in place by an irresistible Strength, no longer obeying his will.
What shook his heart even more was that his Divine Domain and sage rank were slowly merging, seeping into one another like two rivers reunited after a long separation, flowing into the same ocean.
"This is... the sign of impending advancement!"
Daniel’s heart roared, as though a thunderbolt had exploded deep within his soul.
"Kelly... she wants to help me fuse my Divine Domain and sage rank!"
"She is using her own life to push open that shackle for me!"
...
Outside the Chaosverse.
Synros stood like a statue, staring all this time toward that sealed universe.
Suddenly, a strange streak of light was reflected in his eyes.
It was like a falling meteor, tearing through the eternal darkness and vanishing in an instant.
"I found you—Kelly!"
A cold gleam burst from Synros’s eyes, and killing intent surged from his body like a tide.
"Originally, finding you in this vast starsea would have been like searching for a speck of dust in a desert. But from the moment I saw through your arrangement, I knew—you would never escape my palm."
Synros took a deep breath.
Then, his figure silently merged into the void, like a drop of ink falling into water.
