Chapter 1010: The End of Chaos
Wisps of demonic energy drifted out from the demon ape’s body as it began to dissolve into nothingness in mid-air.
As the demon ape’s body gradually faded away, its head looked down at the wound in its chest, then at the straight blade in Chen Han’s hand. Its golden eyes blazed with unprecedented resentment and fury.
It suddenly opened its mouth and roared violently, but with its vocal cords dissipating, not a single sound emerged.
Snow drifted down as the demon ape dissolved, its silent roar…
Its body had completely disappeared, and the remaining half of its head lunged angrily at Chen Han with its teeth, but before they could touch Chen Han’s body, it dissolved into nothingness, completely vanishing.
Snowflakes danced in the howling wind, as if echoing the demon ape’s unwilling roar.
For some reason, all the “Mysteries” who witnessed this scene suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of desolation and tragedy.
The slight doubts that arose when they saw the demon ape crush the Tumbler completely disappeared with the scene of the demon ape’s unwilling dissolution.
The demon ape… had tried its best!
Until the very last moment, it was still desperately trying to kill Chen Han, but unfortunately, Chen Han’s strength seemed far above its own.
How strong was he, really?
In the nearby streets, all the high-level and low-level “Mysteries” who witnessed this scene looked at Chen Han differently, with fear appearing in the depths of their eyes.
Chen Han stood rigidly holding his blade, like a statue.
He didn’t understand.
Everything that had just happened was beyond his comprehension… to the point where he still hadn’t recovered from the illusion of “killing” the demon ape with his own hands.
Had he killed the demon ape?
It seemed he had, yet hadn’t…
However, the good news was that after the demon ape mistakenly killed the Tumbler, the number of “Kleins” jointly attacking him had decreased from three to two… things seemed to be getting back on track.
The demon ape’s appearance had mysteriously boosted his prestige. If he could kill these two remaining “Kleins,” his intimidation would basically be complete.
Chen Han took a deep breath, gripped his blade, and calmly swept his gaze toward the two distant “Kleins.”
They immediately trembled in fear!
…
Wild Mountain.
Lin Qiye’s physical body stood silently, his eyes tightly closed, but the red-pupiled black eye in his brow remained vigilant of his surroundings.
The black eye possessing [Eye of Secrets] could briefly glimpse future trajectories, making it the safest early warning radar for Lin Qiye.
Suddenly, a phantom shadow approached from afar and gently collided with Lin Qiye’s physical body.
Moments later, Lin Qiye’s tightly closed eyes slowly opened.
He let out a long breath, weariness appearing in his eyes.
Although [Great Sage Avatar] didn’t use his own spiritual power, it was still a huge burden on his detached soul.
He chose to take advantage of the chaos to kill just one “Mystery” and then stop, partly because his soul had reached its limit in maintaining the [Great Sage Avatar], and partly because he feared that killing more “Mysteries” would make the act too obvious.
Killing the Tumbler could be attributed to it attacking first, since his previous two strikes could only be considered “accidental injuries.”
But if while fighting Chen Han, Chen Han remained unharmed while he “accidentally” killed the other two “Mysteries,” even with their low intelligence, the other “Mysteries” would likely realize something was wrong.
After all, from the beginning, Lin Qiye’s purpose in transforming into the demon ape had only two goals: to help Chen Han out of his predicament and establish his authority.
After killing one “Klein,” Lin Qiye believed Chen Han could handle the remaining two himself, and the demon ape’s death at Chen Han’s hands invisibly elevated Chen Han’s deterrence significantly.
It was a perfect rescue.
Lin Qiye had done all he could; the rest was up to Chen Han.
He waved his hand to send the caregivers back to the Gods Psychiatric Hospital, took one last look in Chen Han’s direction, and disappeared into the dead silence of Wild Mountain like a shadow of night.
…
Continuous explosions echoed through the city.
Shao Pingge looked at where the demon ape had disappeared, his brows slightly furrowed.
“Suddenly appearing, accidentally killing a ‘Klein,’ then mysteriously dying at Chen Han’s hands? Isn’t this resolution a bit too convenient…” he muttered.
What exactly was that demon ape?
He pondered for a long time but couldn’t figure it out.
Time passed minute by minute, and the battle waves in the distance gradually subsided.
After a while longer, atop the tall building, a man wearing a military coat carrying the heads of two “Mysteries” slowly walked to Shao Pingge’s side.
In the end, Chen Han had killed the two “Klein”-level “Mysteries.”
Shao Pingge glanced at him, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
“All the ‘Mysteries’ in the city are in a state of silence. It seems your show of force was successful.”
“Just luck.” Chen Han sighed deeply, “To be honest, I still don’t understand how that demon ape died… it’s too strange.”
“The result is good, that’s what matters.”
Shao Pingge stood up, patted Chen Han’s shoulder, and smiled, “After so many fierce battles, you must be near your limit, right? Go rest first.”
Chen Han was startled, “What about you?”
“I have to wait for the logistics department to clean up the battlefield before I can wake up the civilians, then I can leave.” Shao Pingge stretched out his hand, pointing at the devastated Beijing, saying, “The headquarters will handle the follow-up cleanup work.”
Until now, Shao Pingge had only opened one eye, keeping the other tightly closed as if asleep.
Chen Han nodded slightly, “Alright.”
He turned to walk downstairs.
“Chen Han.”
Shao Pingge suddenly spoke.
“Hmm?”
“You did very well.” Shao Pingge smiled, “I feel at ease… leaving Beijing to you.”
Chen Han turned back, staring at Shao Pingge for a moment,
“…Thank you.”
…
Under the logistics department’s efforts, the broken streets began to recover at an amazing speed. In less than half an hour, Beijing had returned to its original appearance.
People who had sleepwalked to various places for refuge orderly returned to their beds, and the drowsiness lingering in their minds was ebbing away like the tide.
The snow clouds gradually dispersed, and as sunlight poured down, this sleeping city began to slowly revive.
“Damn! How did I sleep for so long?”
“Why didn’t the alarm clock go off today?”
“Oh no, I wanted to get up early to buy more New Year’s supplies, how did I oversleep…”
“Honey! Wake up quick, we’re supposed to go to the countryside today!”
“Huh? Why am I in the pigpen…”
“…”
Beijing, which had never slept in, welcomed the winter sun on this New Year’s Eve, lazily waking from sweet dreams, bustling about to welcome the new year.
No one noticed that the three snowmen who had sat atop the tall building had quietly melted away.
