Chapter 1366: Chapter 93: Apocalypse
Aside from rose honey, several plates of desserts, from cookies to freshly baked cakes and soft mousse, mysteriously appeared on the coffee table.
The little butterfly monster, deeply focused on watching the live broadcast… watching the scene at the Headquarters of the Magician’s Association, didn’t notice this—she seemed just like any girl in the world obsessed with dramas.
When the tension rose, she instinctively hugged the pillow tightly in her arms, then reached out to grab the dessert from the plate and stuffed it into her mouth—if she got even tenser, the frequency of grabbing things to eat would increase even more.
Tension level = speed of grabbing and eating.
Watching the little butterfly monster devouring a piece of cookie like a hamster cracking seeds, emitting a sound remarkably similar to ASMR, Boss Luo’s attention was drawn more to the little butterfly monster than the scene itself.
She finished another piece.
But the little butterfly monster instinctively reached out again… her gaze didn’t leave the light screen—it’s just that the cookies on the plate were already all gone.
Seeing this, Boss Luo chuckled lightly, then pushed another plate forward to replace the empty one… without noticing that the little butterfly monster was now grabbing a sweeter macaron, still munching like a hamster.
She must indeed be worried about Sister Long at the Headquarters of the Magician’s Association… Boss Luo kept her company, continuing to watch the scene on the light screen.
Meanwhile, the true dragon of China had come up with her own solution to the problem posed by Ares… a solution only possible for individuals of such power and might to execute—the most brute and straightforward method.
…
…
Unable to annihilate the ever-growing creature at one blow while ensuring the safety of thousands of Non-Humans and magicians, the true dragon of China chose… a strategy of saving one at a time.
A simple approach—rushing to the strange creature, extracting Non-Humans one by one, then wrapping them with True Dragon’s power, avoiding contact with the silk threads that absorb their inner power.
Thus, this spectacle unfolded.
The true dragon of China grabbed the arm… even the head of the trapped individuals, forcibly pulling them out—accompanied by the cracking sounds of bones.
Be gentle… there’s no way to be gentle, never will be gentle!
Like pulling up radishes, one Non-Human radish after another was extracted, wrapped with True Dragon’s power, then tossed to the ground.
“Can this actually be done??”
The couple, the Crimson Flame Tower Master, watched in astonishment, as if to loosen their jaws, then chose… to perform similar actions.
The speed may not match the true dragon of China, but certainly won’t be too slow.
However, even with the true dragon plus two Tower Masters, facing thousands of victims, it’s clearly not a task that can be completed in a short time—the key is, this strange creature clearly won’t just do nothing.
Its frantic counterattack undoubtedly made the rescue mission more difficult.
At this point… hundreds of Non-Humans have been successfully rescued.
The current energy level of the true dragon of China: 82%… condition stable.
…
At the Headquarters of the Magician’s Association, High Tower… the part buried underground, about fifty meters deep.
The cellular tissues of Prometheus, intricately growing… eroding the inside of the Association High Tower like the insides of some creature, with visible muscle fibers and tumor tissues everywhere.
Bang—bang—bang—!
Hundreds and thousands of meat strips, at this moment, twisted into strands like Twists, crazily banging against something—a huge obsidian gate.
Ultimately, the obsidian gate was successfully smashed open, and a fluorescent blue light emanated from within… the mass of twisted meat strips instantly crawled inside.
The meat strips then began to untwist, transforming into string forms, starting to entwine again, ultimately twisting into a humanoid shape… just like human bodies stripped of skin, with solid muscle fibers visibly pulsating.
It just walked forward step by step.
The surrounding pale blue liquid, drawn from Mithril, was so rich it had liquefied into pure energy… Mithril Plate inscribed with magic techniques floated on the surface of this energy liquid… together forming an absolute circle—the center of which stood a crystal-like, five-meter-high tree.
Amidst the crystallized tree, a faint silhouette could be seen within the semi-transparent trunk.
It eventually stopped under this giant crystal tree… its face’s muscle threads started twitching, then two pure white eyes began to form—the eyeballs rotating from inside out, eventually forming pupils.
It stared fixedly at the figure within the crystal tree.
“Stop, Ares… Teacher.”
The spirit form of Dazzle appeared bit by bit in front of it.
The floating spirit slowly descended, blocking it… in front of Ares, speaking slowly again, “I think, Tofani wouldn’t want to see you in this state.”
Ares’s eyes twitched, his gaze fixed on Dazzle: “Tofani is dead. I killed her with my own hands. The thing inside this… is not my daughter.”
With that, he even let out a cold smile, “Dazzle, seeing this system made me realize, you really are the same type of person as I am… come on, Dazzle, don’t reject me anymore.”
“Teacher Ares, I just want to explore the ultimate magic my own way,” Dazzle Tower Master shook his head.
“Ultimate magic?” Ares laughed loudly, “Dazzle, you’re actually striving for such a petty goal? It’s truly disappointing for me… didn’t expect you to care so much about the power model inside this little box!”
“Teacher Ares, please leave here… otherwise, for the stability of the Unhuman Domain, I will have to do some harm to you again,” Dazzle Tower Master sighed lightly, “I really don’t wish to battle against you once more in front of Tofani.”
“There are zero times and countless times in a battle.” Ares stated calmly, “Once you have initiated battle with me, for me, you only have two choices: submission or destruction.”
“Is it really that important?” Dazzle took a deep breath, “Is it truly that important… even to the point of sacrificing your beloved and your own daughter, just to gain power.”
“That’s because…”
Ares’s gaze was like an abyss, devouring all emotions humans should possess, “You haven’t experienced the greatness brought by this power… compared to these emotions binding all my inspirations and soul, those things are more worthy… when you own them, you will realize, what you cherished, you have already experienced or are experiencing… even more perfectly.”
Seeing not a shred of what humans should possess in the other’s gaze… Dazzle Tower Master exhaled slowly, “Looking at you, it only solidifies my belief that the war initiated years ago… was not wrong. Because the existence of that place indeed created too many individuals like you, Teacher Ares.”
“Hahaha… Dazzle!” Ares suddenly burst into laughter, with a mocking tone, “The war of a hundred years ago… did you really think, victory was achieved? The truth might leave you feeling hopeless.”
“Hmm?” Dazzle Tower Master instinctively frowned.
Ares suddenly opened his muscular arms wide, “I… will make you realize just how insignificant you are, let you know… what you’ve gone through is just a dream!”
Ares was extremely adept at spiritual magic techniques… Purely spiritual techniques, even Dazzle felt inferior—let alone that he was currently a defenseless spiritual projection.
As Ares’s arms spread wide, a rainbow of light surged around him, as if infused with colorful clouds… Countless, countless things rushed towards him… passing right through!
But a flood of information crazily poured into Dazzle’s consciousness at that moment.
It was the story of Ares’s life.
A descendant of an aristocrat orphaned by the turmoil in his kingdom, who tasted all of life’s sufferings during thirty years as a slave, ultimately escaping from the Beastfighting Arena and becoming an adventurer, living an unremarkable decade before meeting his end in the jaws of a beast… This was not the Ares Dazzle knew.
Yet it was so real, real like it had been performed somewhere before.
He had no time to differentiate, as the second phase of Ares’s life exploded into his consciousness once more.
This time, Ares was just a salesman in a simple corporation, scolded by his boss daily, returning home to a nagging wife, and a rebellious daughter…
…
Again, Ares was a minister of a nation, revered by the populace, loyal to the kingdom, ultimately ordered executed by a suspicious monarch.
…
Once more, he was the world’s most outstanding musician, finding his lifelong love along the banks of the Danube, having a very cute daughter with them… He died at ninety, without regrets in life.
…
He was the magician at Michael Club, spreading terror across the entire world… The world needed purification, the Club threw cleansing flames into every corner, human civilization wiped out… Everything returned to the most primitive state, new order arrived, a world akin to Utopia…
…
Because the spiritual body couldn’t process so much information all at once, Dazzle’s spiritual form started to become unstable… and showed a hint of pain.
“Are these… illusions?”
“These are all lives I’ve lived…”
Ares calmly said, “… In different lives within different worlds. In those worlds, you could’ve been my student, or perhaps just a paper boy living nearby, or maybe just an unrelated person to me… We might have never even met.”
“Parallel dimensions?” Dazzle tried to endure the mental pain as his consciousness spun wildly, “You… you managed to use magic’s power to interfere with parallel dimensions? This… pseudo-proposition?”
“If you believe in magic, possess magic power, why would this proposition seem an illusion?”
Ares shook his head and said: “In front of my true self, the ultimate goal of magic is so insignificant? Dazzle… I extend one last invitation to you… Join us! The Fool, will let you see, those different worlds and what you’re doing there… Michael Club exists with the Apocalypse, acting as the end of the world across different times and spaces!”
“End… What a joke… I still have so many magic books in my library yet to read, Teacher Ares…”
Dazzle shook his head, trying to expel Ares’s terrifying life experiences from his consciousness—this wasn’t just Ares’s experiences but those of different worlds too… A massive amount of information.
Knowledge from different worlds intersecting, in such a short time, totally capable of destroying a human brain, right?
“I know it’s hard for you to believe, just like me once.” Ares shook his head: “But once you’ve touched it, you’ll have no doubts about believing… believing in its existence!”
“It?”
“Unified existence.”
Ares spoke with infinite longing: “When all the world versions of me… can do a great deed and accomplish it… I, we, all versions of me will unify! All versions of me will layer upon layer and ultimately become a singular being!”
“Is this… what The Fool told you too?”
“He is the only one who got the Apocalypse… Though he seems to be like a religious charlatan. But…” Ares suddenly laughed, “Regardless of the truth behind it, doing this itself is quite interesting.”
“It seems… It really requires eliminating Michael Club… and including it in future actions… as a… policy…” Dazzle Tower Master endured the mental pain… his spiritual form began to emit intense light.
At this moment, starting from the edge of the crystal tree, the entire gigantic system space began to tremble… The energy liquid in the pool shot out, transforming into sharp energy blades, slicing towards Ares.
Facing Dazzle’s resistance, Ares was unhurried, relying on Prometheus’s strong regenerative ability, not even bothering to deliberately fend off the attacks, allowing the energy blades to strike.
“Dazzle, it seems you have yet to grasp the greatness of life’s overlap…” Ares’s voice suddenly became incredibly gentle, “You need to experience more, feel more… Accept! Accept all of me, Dazzle!”
Suddenly.
Several, tens, hundreds of different lifetimes, all began assaulting Dazzle Tower Master’s mind at the same instant… his spiritual form even momentarily teetering on the verge of dispersion…
…
…
“Why don’t we leave here?”
Inside the small cavern within the cliffs.
After observing for a while without any movement from the mysterious white-robed youth, Third Miss made a suggestion.
The vampire girl, more concerned for Brother Luo Qiu’s safety, heard it and nodded almost without thinking—however, the white-robed youth’s face suddenly revealed a look of pain.
Moreover, blood even began to seep from his features.
“I… I didn’t touch him!” Third Miss emphasized softly.
The vampire girl stepped closer, “He looks like he’s in a great deal of pain… It seems as if he’s going through something terrifying.”
“Elizabeth?” Zhong Luoyue instinctively called.
The vampire girl said: “I want to help him… I feel he needs help.”
“But we don’t know who this person really is… Elizabeth, we don’t have to,” Third Miss shook her head.
The vampire girl suddenly said: “I just think… At first, Brother Luo Qiu and I didn’t know each other, but if he hadn’t helped me at that time, what would I be like now? Lost in the vampire’s lost disaster, becoming a thorough bloodsucking monster, losing myself, right? I don’t dare to think… So, I believe, anyone in pain wishes for a helping hand—just like I did then.”
Saying so, the vampire girl walked to the white-robed youth, tiptoeing, reaching out to cup his cheek, and began to feel with her mental power…
