Chapter 662: Chapter 398: Genesis_2
"Has it become like this here?" Mephisto sighed.
"Yes, it has been like this for a long time. Our teacher once wanted to rebuild here and turn it into a new school, but he eventually gave up because the current world no longer needs something like ’schools,’" said "Harley."
Mephisto was silent, gazing at everything here in a daze, he said, "Let’s take a walk."
A new person stepped into the courtyard, and Faust kept introducing the situation here and the reasons why it turned out this way.
This wasn’t his first time here since the school’s demise; he had visited multiple times, planning to rebuild it. However, at that time, he was already powerless.
Even if it were rebuilt, no one would come to study. In today’s world, nobles have their family schools, while the children of commoners have long lost the ability to read. Even those who awaken their Innate Technique are quickly controlled by gangs and nobles.
Even if the school opened, there would be no students to teach.
It’s better to let it be destroyed, this was Faust’s thought at the time.
And now, even when he returns, there is no nostalgia, maybe to him, the old academy is long gone, and now this place is just ruins.
And the battlefield to come.
It was evident to him that what Mephisto wanted to see wasn’t the old academy but merely past memories.
So he complied.
"Do you remember when we met?"
"Hmm..." Mephisto recalled the past, when he accidentally used the Teleportation Gate and ended up opening it in her dormitory.
But the eldest daughter of the Alben Family didn’t scream or attack like other girls might, nor was she shy. Instead, she recognized Mephisto’s talent, the ability to learn teleportation directly.
This was a humiliating memory, but one of the few memories shared between them now.
It was then that they met, and the Alben Family began to invest in him, leading to his later achievements.
These few memories have completely become the past, yet they still linger in the mind.
As people behind them looked on with confusion, their Patriarch held Mephisto’s hand and said, "Want to experience the past again?"
"Hmm?"
"There, it seems like my old dormitory, although it changed drastically after hundreds of years. Want to give it a try?" Faust, controlling this body, revealed a meaningful smile.
Mephisto appeared tempted, they quickly freed themselves from the people behind them. As they left, "Harley Alben" said, "Stay here; don’t come closer."
Then simultaneously, she erected a Barrier.
But before leaving, she looked at Xue Dili and silently mouthed in earthly language.
Xue Dili immediately understood; Faust mouthed, "5 minutes" in Chinese.
The lip reading using this world’s language would be completely different, but Xue Dili understood her intentions.
Xue Dili lowered his head, revealing no signs of weakness.
This conspiracy calculated to this point, Faust even chose a strategy so twisted they couldn’t imagine it, ensuring the plan wouldn’t fail due to any flaw.
This time, the essence was a re-enactment of when the Heart Stealer ambushed Angel Rachael.
However, in this scheme, the group transformed into Heart Stealers.
Using a Possession so even Apostles couldn’t see through, they aimed to achieve their goals.
And now, they’ve reached the final step, which is after 5 minutes.
Xue Dili also understood that 5 minutes later would be their time to attack, and the Barrier Faust erected isolated the internal situation from external detection while reminding Xue Dili, informing him that what’s happening externally, the inside is unaware of the same.
Xue Dili understood that externally, he could now make a move.
But the target wasn’t others; it was the elders following from the Faust Family!
In an instant, the three elders felt a chill on their backs. As they prepared to turn around, suddenly, a large hand pierced through their chests, precisely crushing the hearts of two elders.
When the last one realized something was wrong, Xue Dili immediately delivered an elbow strike to his face. Although they were Mythic Level individuals, albeit forcibly boosted by resources to this level, in this world, Extraordinary strength relies on the technique’s intensity, with little enhancement to the body.
Thus, with Xue Dili’s black elbow, this Third Elder’s eye popped, unable to make a sound as he fell unconscious.
"Susu, hide within the Consciousness Space; what comes next is beyond your participation," Xue Dili immediately said.
"Okay!" Susu asked no further questions and directly entered the Consciousness Space. Outside, the body of the former branch family lady seemed to lose her soul, collapsing to the ground.
