Chapter 64: Zi’ai and Fusion
The scene unfolding before my eyes could simply be called a miracle!
When I saw Yuhui slap her twice, I was completely stunned. I thought Yuhui was finished, that she’d be taken down then and there.
After all, Jiuyuan was a rotten person to the core. She appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, she was a monster no one could trifle with.
Just as I expected, she did make a move.
Yuhui was bound by the same dark shadow, unable to move.
Was it… over then?
As I thought this, Yuhui slapped me in the face again. Not only did she physically slap Jiuyuan twice today, but she also slapped me.
When Yuhui was caught by the black shadow, I thought all hope was lost.
But Yuhui broke free.
Longing? Love? Obsession?
Whatever it was, it didn’t matter. I saw potential in Yuhui.
That sliver of faint hope.
The endgame had already begun, and I thought there was no way to turn the tables.
But this time, I saw the most crucial step that could revive the entire situation.
Even Jiuyuan showed a hint of surprise. Lord Juncheng, being considerate, didn’t immediately embrace her but chose Yuhui.
I seized the opportunity to mock her.
“You were rejected. Never mind anything else, but in the eyes of a child, Yuhui, who protected him, is the good person, and you are the villain.”
Several non-existent beings appeared around me, restraining me.
But Jiuyuan didn’t seem ready to let it go… That’s good. That way, I can clearly understand her attitude towards me.
I can do more things now.
“Oh dear, are you angry? But Yuhui hasn’t lost yet.”
It wasn’t over yet.
Neither you, nor I, nor any of us could have predicted this.
Light Novel
Perhaps no one present expected Yuhui to be the one to step forward in the end.
We all underestimated Bai Yuhui.
In the end, no matter which of the F witches it was, their karma with Lord Juncheng was only tied to one past life.
But she had followed Juncheng through reincarnation for over a hundred lifetimes.
A non-existent being pressed on my cheek, but through my fingers, I could still vaguely see the purple light radiating from within the black mud.
As expected, Yuhui didn’t disappoint me.
Breaking free from the restraints, she faced Jiuyuan, who had already secured the outcome.
The curse that covered her entire body, the inauspicious aura, the unknown, ghost-like power.
It made one wonder what kind of curse Yuhui had cast on herself to become like this. What were the contents of that curse… What price did she pay to become this way?
And I felt that this was still an incomplete state.
Yuhui would continue to change.
I don’t know how or why, and there’s no need to figure it out.
In any case, this was an excellent opportunity.
But Yuhui alone wasn’t enough. It was still difficult to say if we could turn the tables. I was still here, and I could still act.
What was left that could threaten Jiuyuan?
There was only one thing left: Juncheng.
Even the now-shattered Juncheng was still her weakness.
She had sacrificed everything, devoured all the F witches, and forcibly descended here just to see Juncheng.
So, what I had to do was simple: secretly steal Juncheng.
You fight your fight, I’ll take the base.
First, relax. Theoretically, there shouldn’t be any problems.
Hoo, I can do this.
Others might not be able to, but I can. Because, in essence, I am of the same origin as these things.
The black shadow that grabbed me was essentially a non-existent being, and I myself was also a non-existent being. Since we are both non-existent beings, then I can… erode it.
Non-existent beings themselves have no thoughts, no bodies, no souls, no spirits, no self-will, nothing.
They act now only because they receive Jiuyuan’s orders. Jiuyuan is like holding a remote control for them, commanding them to act according to her will.
Then I should be able to do it too. Lan often did this kind of thing. There was no need to install cameras everywhere; that would be too expensive. She could simply design a program and use the cameras already installed in the city.
The principle is the same. I should also design a ‘program’ that can reverse-dominate these non-existent beings.
Concentrate and treat these guys as part of your own body. Let your spirit spread out and occupy their brains.
Excellent! It’s successful!
Let’s speed things up. Yuhui is acting based on a curse. It’s not strange if she suddenly dies. Jiuyuan is probably just playing for now. Once she gets bored, she might simply deal with Yuhui.
Now is the only chance.
Quietly slip out and approach the place where Lan and Lianbing were just swallowed.
Bend down and reach my hand into the black water with all my might.
It should be… No, it must be here!
Juncheng’s left hand!
…got it!
I touched it.
This is the hope for a comeback!
Holding Juncheng’s left hand allows me to activate my Destined Ability, Calamity from the Sky, which can cause a specific type of event to occur at a designated location.
I yanked it out and pointed Juncheng’s left palm towards the sky, shouting loudly.
“Let this world be destroyed!”
This is the last and only way I can think of.
I can’t think of how to defeat Jiuyuan, so I can only perish with her.
Let this incomplete world created by Lianbing be destroyed, and let her be destroyed along with it.
Perhaps I am simply acting out of revenge.
In short, die.
Then, the space shattered, but the next second the crack was filled by darkness.
It wasn’t that nothing happened, but that it was suppressed the moment it occurred.
The darkness that spread outwards, feeling like it could corrode everything, filled all the spatial cracks. The visible darkness filled the world.
Even with just my senses, I could understand. Instinctively, I felt a difference in levels. No, there was a clear gap in ‘realm’.
A desperate gap in combat power.
This can’t continue.
My intuition told me that if I did, I would die a terrible death.
“Even if it’s just an illusion built from past memories, you still want to resist me… What a shame, Zi’ai An. I originally wanted to compensate you.”
“Compensate me? Ha, don’t be ridiculous! Stop pretending to be kind! Who would want your charity! You’re the one who took away my living space!”
Darkness condensed into a hand, grabbed me, and began to apply pressure… My body tensed, and the air was squeezed out of my chest. The feeling of suffocation made me involuntarily open my mouth.
I understood from the beginning that this kind of battle wasn’t for me…
This time… I’m really done for…
“Then disappear.”
The hand wrapped around me instantly tightened.
I was crushed.
My body became dismembered like an action figure roughly handled by a branded child.
I felt the fluids being squeezed out of my body.
I was almost squeezed dry…
This is how Juncheng must have felt every time… It’s so painful…
… Can’t…
No sound came out. My vocal cords, along with my neck, must have been damaged.
Damn it, I was so close…
Yuhui… also… fallen…
I’m sorry…
I’m still unresigned…
If it wasn’t for you, if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have suffered this fate…
It was you who stole my space, you who turned me into a lonely ghost without a body!
—Juncheng… Lord Juncheng—
It was Yuhui’s voice, echoing in my mind.
—… You must be very unresigned.
Ah, I understand. I can feel it. She feels the same way.
I am the same non-existent being as those dark shadows. Even if I am crushed into pieces, I can still… Restoring to my original state is meaningless. I want to attach myself to her.
I want to fuse with her, to become her power.
Within her body, I will extend this rampant emotion.
Anger and madness surged.
This feeling of wanting to vent anger is genuine.
Until now, I have never felt this angry for myself.
… ‘Myself’?
Who is ‘myself’?
Do I… love?
Also… Bai Yuhui.
No, it’s neither of them.
But I know everything about him, I remember it clearly.
How he has come this far, what kind of person he is, I remember it all.
So… unforgivable.
Unforgivable!
Wanting to take away from us… Is that a joke!
I can’t suppress this anger!
Non-existent beings have no heart, and those without hearts do not exist.
The two, united, interweaving in the same body. Even though they are defeated, they stand up again through their obsession.
Only for revenge.
