In the first few seconds, the spreading speed of the white light beam was still visible to the naked eye. It felt like a tsunami.
But after a while, the white light seemed to have "exploded" and swallowed everything in the blink of an eye.
S City was just the beginning.
Soon, the entire Eurasian continent, the entire planet, and even the entire solar system … was covered by the white light.
This "data light stream" started to infect the entire universe like an infinitely multiplying virus.
And those people who were trapped in the light stream also lost consciousness for a while, until …
… …
Buzz —
An uncomfortable buzzing sound was transmitted into his brain.
This sound didn't seem to come from the outside world, but from within his body.
Feng Bujue, who had regained consciousness in the buzzing sound, immediately opened his eyes …
At this moment, the white light had dissipated. What entered his eyes was the ruins of a city.
It wasn't the kind of city that was "just destroyed", but the kind that seemed to have been covered in dust for many years. It was the kind of environment that was even more dangerous.
"Where is this?" He immediately opened his mouth and asked such a question.
The reason why he asked this question was because he saw Gu Chen beside him from the corner of his eye.
"Anyway, it's not S City," Gu Chen replied. "If it is … even if it turns into ashes, I can still recognize it from the foundation."
"So we were teleported to another place?" Feng Bujue asked again.
"You weren't the ones who were teleported." Suddenly, a third voice sounded and joined their conversation. "It's the entire universe …"
Feng Bujue and Gu Chen turned around at the same time when they heard the voice. Because before the voice sounded, neither of them had noticed that someone was approaching.
This meant that the newcomer had suddenly appeared behind them the moment they opened their mouths.
"So it's you …" When Gu Chen saw Vincent, his expression was somewhat disgusted, but he was actually relieved in his heart.
"You bastard …" Feng Bujue's first reaction when he saw this devil was to step forward and punch him. "Why didn't you come to save …"
Bang —
His fist was caught by Vincent single-handedly. The force of the fist created a gust of wind that spread out in all directions.
"Hey, hey … don't go too far." Vincent was still wearing that enigmatic smile of his. "The Candidate Game has already ended, and the seal has already been broken … Li Ruoyu … This person has nothing to do with me anymore. What obligation do I have to save her?"
"Tsk …" Feng Bujue also knew that the other party's words made sense. He spat and withdrew his fist.
"Heh …" Vincent laughed again and slowly put down his hand. "In my opinion, you should be the one getting beaten up, right?" He paused for half a second before continuing, "Ruo Yu died right in front of you, but you couldn't do anything about it. Instead, she tried to create an opportunity for you to escape before she died." He spread out his hands. "Let's take a step back. You have to bear a large part of the responsibility for the mess that 'Fate' has created, right?"
His words were very harsh. It was not an exaggeration to say that to a person who had just lost his lover not long ago, "vicious" was not an exaggeration.
Of course, as a demon, it was only natural for him to be more harsh with his words … More importantly, what he said was something that Feng Bujue could not refute.
"Then …" After a few seconds of silence, Feng Bujue's tone returned to normal. "… Now that you're here, is it to hold me accountable for my actions?"
"Heh heh heh …"
Just as Brother Jue asked that question, a familiar, wretched laughter entered everyone's ears.
There were three other figures that appeared with him.
Just like Vincent, the three of them were dressed in black suits with ties loosely tied around their necks. Their bodies exuded different levels of pressure … But in this strange environment, they did not seem out of place.
"Heh heh … If we're here to hold you accountable, would you still be standing here chatting with us?" Woody laughed a few times before replying to Brother Jue's question.
"Motherf * cker …" At this second, before Feng Bujue could say anything, Gu Chen held his forehead with one hand and cursed.
It had been many years since he had cursed so directly, but this time, he could not hold it in anymore.
"Heh heh heh … What's wrong? Is your mood getting worse when you see us? "Woody asked maliciously.
"Of course …" Gu Chen replied with a drawl. "Every time I see you guys together, it basically means that the human race is about to be destroyed … How can I be in a good mood?"
This was the truth. The last time he saw Vincent, Woody, Simon, and Sid together, it was also close to the end of the world.
"If you two want to catch up, get a room and do it." A second later, Simon interrupted them and said, "We don't have time for that right now, hurry up and get to the point."
"Ah … Then let me explain." Vincent was about to take over the conversation.
"Wait … Heh heh heh …" To his surprise, Woody interrupted, "Why do you have to do it? Can't I do it? "
"I already told you to hurry up. It's not a good thing that your lewd laughter is accumulating," Vincent added.
"Hmm … That makes sense …" Woody agreed. "Heh heh … Then please."
"Feng Bujue." In the next second, Vincent called out to Brother Jue, "Listen carefully, what we're about to say is very important to you."
"Oh." Brother Jue just looked at him coldly and replied casually.
Vincent shrugged and continued, "First, let me explain the general situation …" He paused. "The 'phenomenon' in front of you can be called 'dimensional erosion'. It is an extremely serious change for the entire universe. If you want an analogy … it is hundreds of millions of times more serious than something as trivial as' Earth's explosion '."
"Can 'fate' do this?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Of course she can," Vincent said. Vincent said, "She is an existence like the hub of the Multiverse in the first place. Even before she obtained the Staff of Truth, as long as she was willing, she could invade and control an individual with a lower mental strength in this dimension and adjust it on the molecular level … She could have done what you just saw.
"What's more troublesome is that because she comes from another parallel universe, nothing she does will cause 'karma' on our side. That is to say … no matter what she does, she will not be counterattacked by the 'Will of the Universe'."
"And as the ultimate executors of this Will, we are the basic civil servants in the Divine Realm. Without specific orders, we can't interfere with her directly."
"If we can't do it directly, what about indirectly?" Gu Chen heard something from Vincent's words and took the opportunity to ask.
"Heh …" Vincent laughed. "Didn't you see the corpses of the brainwashed employees in the Dream Company's building? This is our indirect method to stop her. Unfortunately … "He curled his lips and did not finish his sentence.
"So you guys just watched her activate 'dimensional erosion'?" Feng Bujue asked again.
"You obviously have a misunderstanding of our operating system," Vincent said. "You have to know … whether it's demons or angels, we are not the kind of creatures that you can summon with a phone call. Under most circumstances, we will not come to the human world in such an 'unrestricted state' … If you think that because we can teleport, we can stop everything that should be stopped … then you are gravely mistaken."
"If we can do that, this world will be much more peaceful," Simon added angrily. Judging from his tone, he really hoped that it could be done that way.
Feng Bujue thought for a moment and said, "Okay … Now that things have come to this, how do you plan to stop 'fate'?"
"Hehe … We can't stop her," Vincent said with a smile. "After obtaining the Staff of Truth, she is the closest existence to 'God'. We are just demons and fallen angels … No matter how strong we are, we are still too far away from her in terms of 'positioning'. Even if we go to her, she will only need to snap her fingers to blow us into particles.
"In fact, the reason why the few of us are able to come here is because the 'dimensional erosion' has already affected Heaven and Hell. Many of the big shots who are more powerful than us have already died. That's why we can come to the human world in an 'unrestricted state'. Or else … Woody would still be playing board games with the Mormons in heaven because of his previous crime. "
At this point, Vincent raised his head and continued in a melancholy tone, "Sigh … In short, small characters like us are no longer a factor that 'fate' will care about. At this stage, she is busy merging the 'Thriller Paradise Dimension' with our 'reality dimension'. Once the two universes are completely merged into one, she will become the new supreme god of this universe. All the original rules will be broken, and 'fate' will become the new deity, opening a new book of history and defining a new order …"
"Hehehe …" Woody interrupted with a smile. "Although I am a bit disappointed to be tricked by her, if she really becomes a 'god' in the end, I might also become a key character in a religious book in the 'new universe' … Hehehe …"
"If there really is such a book, your ending in the book will also be 'Feng Bujue punches your glasses out and you die'." Feng Bujue continued to look at Woody with a cold gaze, and that was how he finished his sentence.
"Hehehe … don't be so hasty," Woody heard this and changed the topic. "Although 'we' can't stop her, you can."
As soon as he said this, Feng Bujue instantly realized something, and his expression … changed slightly.
"That's right." Vincent also looked at Brother Jue and added, "You and 'fate' come from the same universe. Even if she has the Staff of Truth, it won't make any difference to you. She can control the entire universe, but she can't control you … because no matter what she becomes, from the perspective of the multiverse, the two of you are the same."
"It's just that … although the positioning is the same, the difference in power is huge." At this time, Simon poured a bucket of cold water on Vincent.
"Then … give me your power." Feng Bujue reacted quickly. He immediately came up with a request that was extremely unreasonable but extremely reasonable.
"Haha … it seems that you already know why we are here." Vincent laughed. "It's a pity … your physique is not suitable to accept the power of this universe. Even if the power injected into your body doesn't cause you to explode and die, you won't be able to use it … This was the situation when Qi Zhi gave you spiritual energy back then. The power of a human will become a burden to you, and if we give you our power … you will definitely die."
At this point, he paused, and a second before Feng Bujue opened his mouth to mock him, he added a "but" …
"But … since you have won the 'Candidate Game', this has changed the situation," Vincent continued. Vincent continued. "Based on the fact that the Chosen One has the special physique to wield the two opposite powers of holy power and magic at the same time …" As he spoke, he turned to look at his disciple, Hilde. "We can let Hilde, the fallen angel who possesses both 'holy power' and 'magic power', share some of her power with you."
"That's not right." Feng Bujue immediately replied. "When the results of the game were announced, Michael told me that because I'm not from this universe, the 'Blessing of Two Powers' can't be implemented."
"Hehehe … At that time, it was indeed impossible, but now …" At this moment, Woody actually laughed while raising his hand and flicking a "finger flick" at Feng Bujue.
Although it was just a flick of his finger, the air that he flicked out had the power of a shotgun. In this short distance of a few meters, it was undoubtedly fatal to ordinary people.
Boom!
Faced with the sudden attack, Feng Bujue instinctively crossed his hands in front of his body to block it.
As a result … after the attack, he was not injured at all.
"Is this the effect of the dimensional fusion?" After a moment, Feng Bujue put down his defensive posture and asked directly.
Obviously, he had made some inferences about the situation in front of him.
"When you threw a punch at Vincent, you should have noticed it." Gu Chen naturally noticed it at that time. Otherwise, he would not have been so indifferent to Woody's flick of the finger.
"That's only one of the reasons," Vincent replied. "Although the dimensional fusion allows you to obtain a part of your own ability in the game world, it only strengthens your body so that it can carry more energy 'quantitatively'. It does not 'qualitatively' change the physique of your 'life form in a parallel universe'. The real key reason is … at this moment, because some of the higher beings have been killed by 'fate', and coupled with the chaos caused by the overlap of the two dimensions, part of the functions of the universe's will have been paralyzed … This gives us a loophole to exploit."
"Hehehe … Of course, even if there is such a loophole to exploit, only Sid, the 'special case', can give you power." Woody added. "Because only he has the 'balance' of the holy and demonic powers in his body. If the rest of us give you the demonic powers, this balance will be broken. That may … turn you into the product of some kind of Metamorian's failed fusion technique."
"So, that is the meaning of the 'two rewards' after the candidate wins the game …" When Feng Bujue heard that, he seemed to have understood something. "Even if the person who wins is not me, the winner who receives' jobless' and 'double power' will be able to deal with all kinds of situations, including the danger that we are facing now."
"Hmph …" Simon said with his' unhappy 'attitude. "If the winner is not you, there won't be so much trouble."
"Okay, okay …" Vincent quickly jumped in to be the peacemaker. "There is no point in talking about those hypotheticals. Anyway … whether it is to fulfill the candidate's obligation, to make up for the mistake of being used by 'fate' … or even to avenge a personal grudge, Feng Bujue …" He looked at his Brother Jue again and looked him in the eyes. "You won't reject our proposal, right?"
"What do you think?" Feng Bujue replied coldly without even thinking about it.
"Heh … I really don't know what to do with you." Vincent spread his hands again and put on the 'PR' tone of a demon making a deal with a human. "I understand … I understand … After this is done, we can discuss a few more deals with you and fulfill some of your wishes …" He paused for a second. "That's all I can promise."
"Okay." So, Feng Bujue agreed to the condition.
"Then …" Vincent turned around and said to Sid, "I'll leave this to you."
"Yes, Master." Sid, who had been idling there for a long time, seemed to be a little absent-minded, but when he was called by Vincent, he immediately showed his harmless smile and responded this way.
"Old Gu." Then, Vincent said to Gu Chen, "Why don't you go out with us? Before humans are wiped out by the monsters … let's do our best to help the human world leave some survivors. "
"Ah … I've already contacted my subordinates." Gu Chen said as he took out a mobile phone from his shirt pocket. He raised it to the level of his eyes and showed the screen to Vincent and the others. "Let's go to these coordinates first and gather some people to exchange for some information."
"Ho ~" When Woody saw this, he pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and laughed. "Hehehe … It seems that the human world's standard of spirit science has improved tremendously these years. Now, the various regions between the two universes have been torn apart, crushed, and pieced back together … and you guys can still use physical equipment to establish long-distance communication."
"Heh …" Gu Chen sneered. "Don't you know who's been leading the nine subjects all these years? I'm giving you guys face by not developing a drilling machine that can dig to hell, you know?"
"If you want to go, just go." At this moment, Simon said in his' I really despise you guys' tone, "I won't be going with you guys."
"Hey hey … what do you want now?" Vincent narrowed his eyes at him and joked. "Without you around, we'll be scared."
"Stay away from me …" Simon rolled his eyes and looked at Vincent from the corner of his eyes. "Go to wherever it's cooler."
"Okay, okay." Vincent shrugged and smiled. "Anyway, after a while … it'll be cooler than here."
Before he could finish his sentence, a rumbling sound came from afar! The entire ground shook a few times as if there was an earthquake.
At the place where the rumbling sound came from, the ground suddenly split open, forming a hole that was more than a hundred meters long. From the hole, the unique heat flow and fire of magma gushed out.
Immediately after, a deep roar pierced through the air and came from the underground. The sound of some kind of giant creature climbing on the rocks could be heard as well …
