Chapter 52: The Past

It's a world of normalcy and abnormality.

From the beginning of the infinite and distant primeval times, to the end of the infinite extension of time-

A delicate balance is maintained at both ends of the scale.

One day ten years ago, because of 'something',

Boundaries are broken......

Rain, burning in the sky.

In the sea of fire, the wreckage that fell to the ground turned to ashes.

Clothes, flesh, bones, not a trace was left behind.

The fiery serpent hovering in mid-air gradually extinguished.

The oversized robe swayed in the wind.

The eyes that had lost the light looked faintly at the empty ground.

"Puppet...... ......"

…………

Anomalies arise from the other side of the essence of ordinary things.

Looking down at the earth from the top of the sky, what you see is only a superficial scene.

The things that originally existed, the things that did not exist in the world, the things that could be reflected by the eyes, the things that were formless but real, the things that were far away in the sky but could be seen with their own eyes, and the things that were close in front of us but could not be understood......

For thousands of years, in search of the 'truth' buried beneath the surface of things, countless people have embarked on that endless journey......

The ignorant, the ignorant, the strong, the vulnerable......

Birds that give birth to wings fly into the sky, and those people reach places that ordinary people can never reach.

In this upside-down, shattered, yet infinite possibilities......

'Click~'

The ground cracks inch by inch.

Hair-thin threads spread out from the cracks in the ground and wound wildly along the ankles.

The robe was pierced with countless tiny holes, intertwined like needles and threads.

"It's unexpected."

There is not much fluctuation in the emotion, and the slightest fluctuation is not heard.

The godless eyes were slightly raised.

"From the very beginning, there was not a single flaw, and it completely concealed my perception."

"Of course, I have to use some means to face people like my predecessors, after all, I don't want to go head-on with that legendary being who can construct the world."

At the end of the distant world, a figure gradually emerged.

"The world as I see it is just a façade."

He shook his head slightly.

"It's not a big deal if it's just a superficial world, but ......"

The soles of the feet lifted from the ground, and the silk threads suddenly snapped.

The cage that could have kept the prehistoric beast in it was extremely fragile.

Along with the ground, it turned into powder and disappeared into the void.

one-step

Some slow steps forward.

The body had already appeared in the sky thousands of meters away.

Falling with the rain.

'Click~'

Cracks appeared in the invisible walls, spreading through the void.

The man standing quietly on the ground turned slightly pale, silently looking up at the figure in the sky above him.

Shattered, everything touched is crumbling and shattering.

Apocalyptic scenes.

It's just a human figure, but it's as heavy as a mountain.

"Isn't it worthy of being one of the eight highest-ranked people in 'That World'......"

A faint wry smile.

How is it possible not to pay any price......

The invisible walls of the void exploded, and the wind raged on the ground.

Trees, soil, rocks...... Disintegrate, shatter.

The wind hovering above the sky turned into a tornado, like a thousand-meter-high python sweeping towards the ground.

The place it passed was razed to the ground in an instant, and an expanding ravine appeared in the earth.

The thin figure was in front of the giant python that reached the sky and the earth.

Like a small grass in a storm.

Whether it is broken or uprooted, it is too light.

He didn't care about it.

Standing quietly in the center of the wind that was almost devastating.

"It's a guts to dare to have my body revealed in front of me."

It's like a compliment, but you don't hear the actual tone.

He stood in the void, surrounded by an aura of endless destruction.

As if to reveal the essence of power, such a being represents the meaning of the word.

The robe swayed in the wind, and there was still no look in the pupils of those eyes.

"In the face of an opponent of this level, of course, the same method will not be used a second time."

He said lightly.

"Yes......"

The wind was fierce, and an afterimage swept from the sky to the ground.

It was a fist shadow that shattered.

It couldn't be reached, and there wasn't even time left to resist.

So fast that you almost ignore the time interval.

In an instant, it pierced the chest, tearing through the skin, flesh, organs, and bones.

Drops of red blood fell to the ground, and the lifeless body slammed to the ground.

"That's kind of interesting."

looked faintly at the corpse that fell in front of him.

"Who are you to be able to do this?"

"It's just a nobody, there's nothing to care about......"

A voice coming from somewhere behind you.

The appearance was the same as that of the corpse on the ground, appearing on the other side of the ground as if it were interlaced in time and space.

"Because the same method can't be used a second time, so I changed the approach a little."

"What's the point of stopping me even if you don't hesitate to do this?"

"I owe a lot of favors to the old man of that family before, and after that one leaves, he always has to find a way to pay it ......back."

The palm of the hand slowly opens.

"And it's not meaningful, it's just to give the choice to those two kids."

The silver light that covered his fingertips gradually covered the entire arm, shimmering with scales.

"Yes......"

Raised his pupils noncommittally.

In the next instant, the afterimage disappeared in place.

In mid-air, a thunderous roar of gold and stone clashing rang out.

A figure with a broken line flew up like a kite.

Piercing through the sky, smashing to the ground, and crashing into the surface.

The broken and twisted silver arm has a clear fist mark on its exterior.

"Isn't 'this' the ontology......?"

Faintly looking at the wreckage sunk into the shattered ground.

'Knock~'

'Knock~'

The pupils covered by the robe suddenly constricted.

Press the palm of one hand to the front of the chest.

"Heart ......" -

"Putting this thing in there is going to be a lot of waste for me."

Dressed in a flower vest, a somewhat languid man revealed his figure in the shadow of cracked rubble in the ground.

Fingertips are wrapped around a thin black thread that beats.

"From the very beginning, I tried my best to find a gap."

"Do you think you'll win me over that way?"

Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, but his voice remained calm.

"Of course, it's not a win, even if the heart is completely destroyed, it can be reconstructed in an instant, but this thing of mine is not so simple to remove...... Even the seniors probably had to spend a day constantly reorganizing their bodies to completely get out of the control of this thing, but that's enough time......"

The swaying figure looks a little hanging.

The man was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

"Miss Xiong'er, who is a loser in the world, is unparalleled in talent, and now it seems that her brother can be called a real genius."

"No, no, it's really not ...... Anyway, I didn't sign up at all......"

…………

"It's useless to just stop me, and naturally there won't be only one person who chooses to shoot at this time."

"You only need to stop one of the seniors, and the little girl over there should be able to solve it herself, and...... Such an extraordinary person, the future can only be walked by himself, and no one can interfere......"

…………

The rain stopped, and there was nothing but devastated earth under the sky.

The cracks in the cracked boulders were filled with mud left behind by the rain.

It won't be long before the seeds of weeds sprout again in this completely destroyed land.

A figure swayed away.

"Future...... ......"

"There is no right or wrong, only the path you choose......"
