Chapter 201 - Valiant Battle (End of Main Text)
Editors: Kitty & Humu
Over there, the secret chamber’s will who was controlling the priest was a little stunned. He did not seem to understand the meaning of Abyss’s sudden smile. In his opinion, Abyss had already done everything he had hoped for, and there was only the last step...... or maybe he was too happy?
He knew that all human beings were very greedy. Maybe they needed power and strength to be firmly held in their hands, and this supreme feeling made Abyss feel happy. Because of such happiness, human beings would laugh.
However, Abyss’s next move was unexpected. Instead of giving Xing Yan the final blow, Abyss directly reached out to get the cube presented by the monster. The priest who was over here subconsciously stepped forward and said, “Wait a minute...... You are too hasty... ”
He had yet to finish speaking when Abyss had already taken the cube and shouted at Xing Yan, “Open the door quickly!”
Although Xing Yan was lying on the ground and on his last breath, his blood red eyes were filled with unprecedented calm. He smiled at Abyss, lifted his right hand, and opened a space-time door by his side. As soon as the space-time door was opened, Abyss threw the cube directly into it.
Seeing Abyss no longer held the cube, Xing Yan waved his hand again, and the space-time door disappeared immediately.
The way they coordinated in less than a few seconds was considered perfect and seamless, and the priest’s movements had already started to stagnate because Abyss had already thrown his body through the space-time door into unknown and distant areas. The signal it used to be able to control the priest suddenly became weak, so even the priest’s body became weak......
“You...... What was this for?”
The priest’s body had become half-transparent, and he turned his head to stare at Abyss. “......Think you can escape my control? This city is in a space-time crevice without me! In this city, all of you will be swallowed up by the turbulent flow of time and space. None of you will be able to return to reality!”
“We’re not going back to reality.” At this time, the humanoid monster who had presented the cube suddenly opened his mouth and spoke in broken Mandarin, “The energy unit of the cube is equivalent to a bomb that can destroy the solar system. This kind of explosion will trigger the formation of black holes. Moreover, if the cube is thrown into a space-time crevice close to our world line and then detonated, it will cause a large area of...... time reversal or time dislocation.”
“You! You are...”The priest stared at the monster in surprise. “Noen!?”
“Long time no see,” said Noen, graciously bowing to the priest who was under the control of the secret chamber’s will.
“I see! You found some helpers!” The secret chamber’s will was in complete disorder, but what it didn’t understand was that its way of speaking at the moment was not like a system at all, but it had a human tone.
“You’ve become more and more human-like.” Noen looked at the priest with a smile, obviously aware of this.
“Nonsense! I’m not a little human being! I’m the secret chamber’s will! I have the greatest&#k2026;” The priest could not finish the sentence because he had already disappeared completely.
In this empty church, his voice completely and also his whole person completely disappeared. God did not exist in this church, and from the beginning, there was nothing here.
Luo Jian squatted down, helped Xing Yan up, and let him lean on his shoulder. He could not help touching Xing Yan’s cheek and dropping a kiss on his forehead.
“Is it over?” Xing Yan asked. He was very weak, but he could not help reaching out to hold Luo Jian and rubbing himself on him.
Luo Jian replied, “Not yet...... It’s just the beginning.”
“Will I die?” Xing Yan asked again.
Luo Jian smiled. He inched over and gave a peck to Xing Yan’s mouth. “Yes, and I’ll die with you.”
“Without the power of the secret chamber, the city will begin to crumble.” Noen raised his head. As he said this, the city had already begun to turn upside down. The ground began to tilt and shake. It was like a super earthquake. Every building was howling, and at the same time, the monsters outside were screaming and yelling. The sound almost broke through the sky.
At this point, the body that the current Noen used was still the NPC that the secret chamber had crafted, and his body had become transparent. It was clear that his body was about to disappear. The same was happening to Luo Jian.
“We will disintegrate together.”
He went to the display cabinet, broke the glass, and took out the lock.
Now, the cube had been thrown into another space-time crevice opened by Xing Yan. The space-time crevice was a chaotic space that had violent explosions occurring in it all the time. There was no life there, only huge amounts of energy. Therefore, detonating a bomb in the space-time crevice was an obvious choice. They did not have to worry about endangering any other lifeforms.
“Once this huge amount of energy is detonated, the order of time will be chaotic, and the ‘order’ will start to repair itself. Therefore, all of us may experience a large-scale ‘rebirth.’ All of us, whether dead or alive, will go back to the past...... Go back to the past before the secret chamber appeared.” As he spoke, Noen took the lock in his hand and crushed it. The lock was as fragile as tofu, and with some pressure, it shattered into pieces.
When he crushed the lock, Luo Jian seemed to hear something breaking, a very insignificant sound.
Noen, still staring at Luo Jian, continued, “There’s only one ‘person’ who can’t live through this rebirth, and that’s the secret chamber because the secret chamber is not something of your time and exists in a different space. The order of time and space will not repair it, so...... you don’t have to worry about going back to the past and having another secret chamber space disrupt your lives.”
Luo Jian looked at Noen, and for some reason, he trembled. “I won?”
Noen smiled. “Of course, you won. You beat the strongest opponent in this goddamn, who-knows-where place.”
Luo Jian wryly smiled, “I wasn’t aware of that. It feels like having a long nightmare.”
“Think of it as a dream,” Noen uttered, tone gentle, “When you go back to the past, you will all lose these memories. All traces of the secret chamber’s will will disappear, and all the effects of the secret chamber’s will be cleared. Your world will return to its normal order, you will experience normal birth and death, and whether you can continue to be together depends on fate.”
Noen could not help but praise him, “However, at this moment, I want to admire you, Luo Jian. You are a hero.”
Luo Jian shook his head helplessly and hugged Xing Yan. “Without the help of friends, I could never have gotten to this step.”
Yet Noen stated, “There’s no need to be humble. A person’s ability is reflected not only in himself but also in the people around him. You are strong enough to influence everyone around you.”
Their two bodies had almost disappeared, and the surrounding buildings were gradually collapsing. The ceiling of the church collapsed to form a huge hole, and the light in the sky was strangely dazzling. Those lights were very luxuriant and covered the whole city.
Luo Jian looked up at the sky in a trance. He seemed to see the distant universe through those clouds. Countless stars were shining. The solar system was there, and so was the Earth.
Noen stated, “It’s almost time. I have to go. I’m afraid we won’t have a chance to meet again, so...... this is farewell, my friend.”
Hearing this, Luo Jian was in a trance and wanted to respond with something, but he did not say anything. Xing Yan, who was beside him, held him tighter. He heard the man’s heartbeat echoing in his ears.
“This time, let me be the one to find you...... Be sure to wait for me, alright? Ah Jian...” Xing Yan said in a low voice. The man held him very tightly, and he seemed to feel that the other party was crying. However, Luo Jian’s senses were very weak, so he could not see whether Xing Yan was really crying.
Ah, idiot, at this time, you should laugh.
Didn’t they beat all their opponents? So why cry? Clearly, this should be a happy ending.
However, Luo Jian was also crying. He knew that he would never see Xing Yan again. He would not see the once-powerful Xing Yan in the secret chamber. He would not see the Xing Yan who had become a cold-blooded and ruthless stalker. And Luo Jian would no longer be the present Luo Jian. He would return to that distant past, that familiar but incomparably strange past.
In his past, would Xing Yan exist?
It was impossible for him to know this because Luo Jian disappeared.
The building was completely covered by light, and all existence in it melted and collapsed under this inexplicable and strong light. Then, the city, which had been transferred to the space-time crevice, disappeared.
In some distant chaos, the old god of time hobbled back to his clock room, which was full of all kinds of clocks, big and small, each one swinging in an orderly way.
But the god of time was looking at a ticking clock. There was something wrong with the pointer of this clock. The clock stopped, swayed in place, and did not move forward. So the god of time considered it and moved the hand of the clock back.
And he moved the pointer back just one minute.
And this minute, for tiny human beings, was a long, long, long time.
After wasting so much energy and expending so much effort and even sacrificing so many lives, it was only for the return of...... this single minute given by the god.
But this minute was worth cherishing. Not everyone had the chance to obtain it. Not everyone had the chance to save everything. When you had such a chance to do so, wouldn’t you boldly attempt it once?
Maybe this time, you would succeed.
