Chapter 558: Nix’s Farewell

Lin Qiye turned back and saw a giant gray sparrow rushing out from the rolling mist, its mouth open, and a clear chirp echoed in the sky.

Chirp—!

The moment the chirp reached Lin Qiye’s ears, the sparrow’s form flew before him like a ghost, propelled by the sound waves.

Its speed was too fast, so fast that Lin Qiye barely caught a glimpse of its appearance; even his mental perception couldn’t keep up with its speed. The gray sparrow’s wings, over two meters long, flapped heavily against Lin Qiye’s chest!

In a critical moment, a deep blue silhouette blocked Lin Qiye’s path!

Boom—!!

A dull sound reverberated in the sky, and the flying Flame Pulse Earth Dragon seemed to be struck by a meteor, plummeting straight down.

In an instant, one dragon and two people crashed back into the surging tide of beasts.

“Cough cough cough…”

Lin Qiye awkwardly stood up from the deep pit, coughing violently. Beside him, Jialan sat weakly on the ground, gasping for breath.

The force of that gray sparrow’s strike was terrifying; even though Jialan had shielded him, the transmitted power nearly caused Lin Qiye to spit blood. If Jialan hadn’t blocked that blow, Lin Qiye would likely be severely injured and unable to stand.

“Jialan…”

Lin Qiye opened his mouth, about to say something, when the chirp sounded in his ears again.

This time, without a second thought, Lin Qiye used all his strength to leap forward. Just as his feet left the ground, the gray shadow crashed into the spot where he had been standing, creating a terrifying deep pit!

The rolling shockwave sent Lin Qiye flying, and he tumbled several times before barely stopping. He turned to look at the giant shadow slowly rising from the dust, his face extremely grim.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this sparrow could appear at any location where its chirp was heard, and this wasn’t a spatial flicker but pure speed!

Within its own sound, it possessed a terrifying speed akin to teleportation!

This was far more terrifying than mere spatial flickering because once its speed reached a certain level, the kinetic energy generated was incredibly frightening. Just now, when it struck him and Jialan with its wing, it relied on the kinetic energy produced by its rapid movement.

If the artifact that could manipulate kinetic energy, the “Primal Abyss,” were still around, Lin Qiye might have had a fighting chance. But now… he had no means to deal with this gray sparrow.

Boom boom boom—!

Continuous explosions echoed from afar, and the roar of a white bear was deafening.

In Lin Qiye’s mental perception, Baili Pangpang, Crazy Mo Caoyuan, and Shen Qingzhu were being firmly suppressed by the black giant, who was also at the “Klein” realm. Each swing of the giant’s two head chains unleashed terrifying thunder, turning the area within a hundred meters into a thunderous battlefield.

The white bear had crossed through the void and was frantically chasing after An Qingyu, who was carrying the black coffin. The latter, relying on his analysis of the surrounding environment and his nearly immortal regeneration ability, was struggling to weave through the tide of beasts, dodging the giant claws of the white bear.

However, the black coffin he carried on his back was already shattered in several places, and the ice containing Jiang Er’s corpse had developed a menacing crack, as if it would soon shatter.

The situation was dire.

Lin Qiye and the others were all at the “Sea” realm. Even if they teamed up, they could only contend with one “Klein” realm enemy, but victory was not guaranteed. Moreover, three mysterious “Klein” realm beings had appeared from the mist, and there were numerous “mysteries” lurking around…

Their predicament was extremely dangerous.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qiye gritted his teeth and immediately immersed his consciousness into the mental hospital in his mind.

Now, he could only hope that after bearing the soul of a deity, he could turn the tide…

However, with his current realm, even if he bore the soul of a deity, he could only barely elevate to the “Klein” realm. Facing three “Klein” realm mysteries, his chances of winning were still very low, but apart from that, he had no other options.

At that moment, a thought rejected Lin Qiye’s request to bear the soul.

Lin Qiye stood frozen in place.

…

In the mental hospital of the gods.

A woman draped in a starry gown stood in the courtyard, gazing up at the sky. After a long while, she slowly turned her head to look at Merlin beside her.

“Now, there shouldn’t be any other variables, right?”

Merlin sighed deeply, “None…”

Lin Qiye, dressed in a white coat, appeared out of nowhere in the courtyard. He turned to look at Nyx, puzzled, and asked:

“Mother, what happened? Why did you bring me back?”

Nyx gazed into Lin Qiye’s eyes, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth. She softly said:

“Because I must say goodbye to you, my child.”

Lin Qiye was taken aback, “Goodbye?”

“My time here is almost up.” Nyx looked up at the sky above her, “I can barely hold on any longer; the laws here are rejecting my existence… I must leave.”

Lin Qiye thought of something and looked up at Nyx’s head.

There, a phantom progress bar appeared in Lin Qiye’s vision.

“Nyx’s treatment progress: 97%”

“Mother, can you see it?” Lin Qiye asked in surprise.

“From the moment it reached 95%, I could see its existence.” Nyx smiled slightly, “In fact, I can even see your situation outside through here. At that moment, I suddenly realized that the countdown for my stay here had already begun…”

“But it hasn’t reached 100% yet,” Lin Qiye couldn’t help but say.

Only when the treatment progress reached 100% did the patient need to leave the mental hospital and undergo the final ability extraction. Although Nyx’s progress bar was nearly full, it was still some distance from 100%.

Nyx smiled helplessly.

“Nyx’s treatment progress: 98%”

“Nyx’s treatment progress: 99%”

The progress bar moved forward two slots rapidly under Lin Qiye’s gaze.

Lin Qiye seemed to understand something and looked down at Nyx, “Mother… have you been suppressing your treatment progress all along?”

Nyx nodded, “To be precise, I’ve been suppressing my soul’s self-repair process. Since half a year ago, I haven’t taken any medicine. I thought that by doing so, I could continue to stay here…

But during these six months, it still grew slowly, and even when I used all my strength, I couldn’t suppress the soul’s self-repair.

Now, my time here has reached its limit.”
