Chapter 1894: Chapter 1892: The Arrival of Yellow
Library – Underground Corpse Handling Room
The stars no longer shine as brightly,
even though Pope is the pride of heaven, born with a unique affinity to the “Void” of the S-01 world, and despite completing the ultimate myth comprehension in the [Seraino Great Library] and becoming king at the crucial moment.
the newly formed kingdom’s domain remains unstable.
Historically, any individual who becomes a king must spend a significant amount of time using various methods to stabilize their king domain.
Such as retreating into seclusion for decades, nourished by various rare materials,
or engaging in thousands, even tens of thousands, of equal-level games, honing the king domain through real combat,
yet Pope chooses to battle an incarnation of a supreme being, one with middle rank, in a fight that could kill him at any moment.
If he’s not careful, the newly formed king domain will burn completely.
Pope temporarily retreats to the depths of the void, trying his best to suppress the spreading injuries.
The entire right arm is fully carbonized, even the star particles can’t flow normally within it… the only thing he can do is eradicate the remnants of black flame from the arm, preventing the flames from entering the body trunk.
This soul-level burning persists, even as Pope uses a “Singularity” to reconstruct his body.
Pope could choose to hide in the depths of the void indefinitely, but he can’t do that.
Otherwise, once the Black Sky Demon breaks free, he’ll immediately leave the current area, sensing his teammates… Han Dong and Eugenes will be doomed if surrounded.
With this realization, he can only step out into space again.
Mr. Teacher knows Pope won’t hide in the void space forever, guessing he will certainly worry about others’ safety and force himself to return to stall for time.
He exploits an incarnation trait using a move called “Sky Demon Observation Technique.”
Eight eyeballs detach from the body, floating in the air, observing every corner of this area… each eyeball is wrapped in black flame and contains immense power.
When Pope appears, he’s immediately pinpointed by a nearby eye.
“I don’t want to waste more time on you; I already figured it out… recruiting a [talented student] like you is worth paying some price.”
Mr. Teacher sacrifices an eye.
Triggering the nearest eyeball to spontaneously combust,
a technique that sacrifices life for amplified power and speed, with the eyeball’s intrinsic automatic target-seeking effect, swiftly rushing towards Pope.
Pope’s brain instantly calculates the outcome.
Retreating to the void is impossible now in terms of time.
The “Void Bubbles” he holds only have a 37.1% chance to fend off such an eye attack.
This eyeball poses a more significant threat than any previous attack. Dıscover more novels at novelꞁire.net
The “Void Bubbles” flick from his fingertips, accurately capturing the burning eyeball.
Luck is on his side as the eyeball is completely absorbed by the bubble… just before the bubble is consumed and the dreadful black flame sprayed outwards, Pope creates a tiny space corridor, teleporting the entire bubble outside of the library.
A horrifying flame explosion erupts outside the library.
Pope thwarted only the nearest eyeball.
Mr. Teacher, in a bid to swiftly end the fight, goes all out… four more nearby burning eyeballs attack simultaneously.
Due to the delay caused by the defense act just now,
these four eyeballs are already too close, creating no room for evasion at all.
“Is this the gap between me and the supreme being…”
Pope grits his teeth, preparing to use a last-resort ‘Perish the Cauldrons and Sink the Boats’ to break the deadlock.
Once used, though it can make him escape and dispel the predicaments,
he will be stuck in a Sumeru state, unable to fight… potentially drifting through the shattered dimension indefinitely.
Naturally, unfettered by Pope, Mr. Teacher will inevitably move to attack Han Dong and Eugenes next.
“I’m sorry… I can only stall this long.”
The battle has lasted a whole hour.
Pope, freshly crowned, drags a middle-rank incarnation of a supreme being to such an extent,
even requiring his opponent to sacrifice crucial organs for dealing with him, is remarkable and likely to become a legendary tale among demons.
The “Singularity Crystal” in his chest is illuminated, an impending massive cosmic storm will soon sweep the current area, not only engulfing Pope but completely removing this underground corpse storage room.
Mr. Teacher also senses the anomaly, instinctively stepping back.
Just as the cosmic storm is about to form.
A yellow robe, falling from an unknown place, suddenly lands on Pope… Buzz! Uncontrollable soul sedation calms Pope’s restless soul.
The glow of the Singularity Crystal is similarly suppressed, returning to normal.
The unformed cosmic storm naturally can’t engulf the eye attacks… danger approaches.
The four burning-eyed black flames strike from different angles.
And Pope makes no defensive move.
The black scalding flames explode, burning multiple holes in the library’s special rock layers.
Mr. Teacher shows signs of extreme displeasure.
“Could this guy realize defeat is inevitable! To avoid falling into my hands, willingly withdraw all defenses and let himself burn completely in the black flame? What a waste!”
He appreciates Pope greatly and very much wants Pope as a [student].
Of course, the real intent, ultimately, is grooming Pope into a more perfect space incarnation,
Moreover, such a king-level incarnation allows him to grasp much fundamental intelligence and advantage in the forthcoming S-01 invasion.
Mr. Teacher hastily raises his arm, absorbing as much black flame back into himself, trying to preserve Pope’s body, hoping the Black Tower technology might revive it.
Simultaneously calls back the remaining four eyeballs to his body,
but… an unexpected event occurs.
Only three eyeballs return, with one suddenly losing signal mid-flight.
“Hmm, how did the eyeball lose connection while passing the explosion zone?”
He can only speed up absorbing the black flame from the explosion zone, waiting for the dust to settle and flames to dissipate… a scene Mr. Teacher finds hard to believe appears before him.
Pope, cloaked in yellow, stands unharmed at the explosion’s center.
Simultaneously, a mysterious figure, hunched and wrapped in loose yellow robes, stands by Pope’s side… clutching the black flame eyeball between its withered fingers.
A soul voice echoes within Mr. Teacher’s brain.
“This black flame can burn truths and inflicts extensive harm on both body and soul; it can be carried and transferred through your organs and body.
Truly an impressive ability; it might make a fine addition to my novel’s settings.”
The moment the words end,
the burning black flame eyeball is absorbed into the robe sleeve, preserved as a narrative material.
“This is!! King Level Demon!”
Upon this realization, Mr. Teacher decisively abandons the current interests.
Unfolding his great wings, fully retreating.
Yet, a strange sensation arises within.
[Escape] is indeed underway.
Mr. Teacher vividly perceives, driven by wing propulsion, he accelerates running and distances himself from the mysterious yellow robe present in the underground area.
the consciousness feedback bizarrely conveys a sensation of treading in place.
“What’s happening… I should have escaped, right? Why can I still smell the prior battle zone’s aroma, why can I still sense the demon’s presence?”
Upon inspecting himself, Mr. Teacher’s expression turns fiercely grim.
His soul, somewhere along the way, no longer resides within.
Running through the library is merely a shell… but the bond between body and soul persists.
“How did this happen!?”
Once the soul perishes, the body follows into death.
Approximately ten minutes pass.
Mr. Teacher traces back via the escape route to the corpse handling room… indeed, his soul remains there unmoved all along.
Meanwhile, a voice emanates again from within the yellow robe.
“Finally returned, invader… next, let’s discuss your invasion plans properly.”
