Chapter 499: Word Games
“The Pupil of Mystery not only has the ability to quickly learn all the magic that has been encountered, but it can also allow its owner to fully understand how they work, greatly enhancing their overall mastery of magic… You, who possess such abilities, are truly enviable.”
Amicio, the Son of God, was taken aback by how easily his magic could be understood.
The Pupil of Mystery may be regarded as the pinnacle of a sorcerer’s talent.
This man possessed remarkable pupils, granting him a distinct advantage in magical duels.
At this moment, he utilized the Pupil of Mystery to decode the spell I cast. Amicio was fully aware of this.
“Um, since that’s the case, let me offer you a chance to try this strategy.”
Amicio unleashed hundreds, if not thousands, of entirely new black magic spells, each more powerful than the last, all resembling forbidden incantations in the realm of magic.
In Amicio’s hands, these awe-inspiring spells were cast with the ease of tossing a handful of beans, leaving any wizard who witnessed the spectacle astonished and at a loss for words.
Alan, however, had no time to be taken aback. Instead, he started to dismantle all the black magic spells in an organized way.
He pushed his Pupil of Mystery to its limits, enabling him to swiftly counter multiple spells, yet he found no chance to retaliate.
Before long, his eyes filled with cascading crimson blood.
Amicio remained composed, his spiritual power seemingly boundless.
“Overwhelmed, indeed, you could not bear this incredible and powerful gift at all.”
Amicio smiled, aware from the outset of the Pupil of Mystery’s weaknesses.
All he needed to do was maintain his relentless assaults, persistently exhausting him, and ultimately, Mr. Alan would be unable to withstand it alone.
Alan fought hard, but he unmistakably felt searing pain radiating from his eyes, causing his vision to grow increasingly blurred.
Has the Pupil of Mystery’s absorption capacity nearly reached its limit?
He remained firm in his decision to not surrender here.
Despite having numerous strategies available and still wielding the Fire that Burns Everything, he refused to allow himself to be led to self-destruction by the opponent’s tactics.
Alan urgently contemplated how to overcome the stalemate, then abruptly halted his efforts to decipher the spell.
In an instant, he was shattered and consumed by dark magic.
However, Amicio understood that he did not perish. Instead, he utilized a “Substitute Puppet” to evade detection and quickly transitioned from one dimension to another.
“Altering the battlefield will not alter the outcome; I am fixated on you. ”
Amicio gently waved his hand. The next moment, he and Noa instantly departed from the dimension of memories, arriving in a very rare and fascinating realm.
This was a dimension completely constructed by words.
“Amicio” and “Noa,” two names written in white, were placed flat on a black surface. They noticed that all around them were words like “building,” “building,” “building.”
So, Amicio spoke up, saying, “These words like ‘building’ should be a representation of the Giant Hive here. I just wonder where it’s hiding.”
The words it spoke instantly transformed into tangible written forms, even with text bubbles.
“Noa” didn’t utter a word; they simply listened in silence.
At that moment, he glimpsed a “figure,” soon followed by a growing number of words depicting additional “figures. ”
The words detailing those “figures” emanated from the multitude of “buildings” and enveloped Amicio and Noa from every direction.
When they got closer, Amicio noticed that the words describing the “figures” had turned into “puppets”.
So, next to the words describing Amicio, a text bubble appeared with the words “petty tricks” inside. Clearly, it was mocking Alan’s lack of ability.
However, soon among the majority of “puppets”, new words burst forth, surrounding the two “names” in an instant… Those newly appeared words were ablaze, they were the words of the pitch-black “Fire that Burns Everything”!
Amicio had already anticipated this tactic.
So, in an instant, he unleashed a defensive black magic, piecing together the words “blood”, “blood”, “blood” in red, forming a massive “wall” of words around him.
The size of this “wall” was hundreds of times larger than that of the “Fire that Burns Everything” and the “blood” and “puppets”.
As the “Fire that Burns Everything” was being blocked by the “wall,” small words of “burning” appeared on its surface.
“Burning” kept bursting out over and over again, and then the “wall” started shrinking, eventually turning into a “broken wall”. Obviously, it couldn’t hold on for too long.
Amicio whispered quietly, taking the opportunity to prepare some kind of ritual that would make Alan extremely uneasy.
Sorcery, or its branch, dark witchcraft, is the only power system used in a few worlds, like the Noah world.
But the ceremony was a power that had long existed in the multiverse, perhaps even the oldest of all. It corresponds to the primary power of the Master of Ceremony among the three pillars of the Outer Gods.
Compared to sorcery, the limits of the ceremony are completely different!
Amicio, a character in the story, was about to use a ancient, powerful, long-lost ceremony.
“A destiny of ignorance and oblivion, a principle that spans all beginnings and endings.”
“Oh, the mighty beast that devours the lives of all!”
“I am willing to make a sacrifice to you!”
“Presenting a thousand flames from a thousand lives!”
The Numerology Behemoth is also an Outer God.
He represents five o’clock in the twenty-four hours of the day.
Fate, merely the pebbles beneath His immense claws, forever trickling and scattering, slowly crumbling away.
The text bubbles related to the rituals were completely different from regular text bubbles. They all twisted, wriggled, and even faintly revealed flowing lines resembling black asphalt.
As the ceremony commenced, a thousand extraordinary individuals who had once made deals with Amicio across various worlds instantly disappeared without a trace, willingly surrendering everything they had to him.
They were sacrifices, completely devoured by the cold and heartless grip of fate.
There will not even be anyone left to remember the existence of these individuals.
These one thousand extraordinary sacrifices couldn’t just be any random one thousand extraordinary individuals; each of them had to be a “virtuous wrongdoer,” someone who had committed sins but carried goodness within.
Only by meeting such demanding conditions could one be considered qualified as a sacrifice.
Fortunately, Amicio is skilled at manipulating people to commit sins and also possesses an almost immortal lifespan.
A very large word emerged from behind the name “Amicio,” it was blurry, distorted, and obscured by shadows – the “servant of destiny.”
That was the most loyal silent guardian of the Numerology Behemoth, they were the most powerful spawn of this Outer God, said to be only thirteen in total.
It is said that the deity, who is claimed to be immortal, could still be completely killed by it!
The servant of destiny immediately moved towards a ‘building’ in a certain direction.
The words of the Fire that Burns Everything started to spread and make way in the surroundings.
In theory, the servants of destiny are invincible beings. They have no concept of death, making them extraordinary entities from a higher realm.
As long as the Numerology Behemoth remains standing, these silent guardians shall never perish. In a way, they have become an extension of its mighty power.
Even certain Outer Gods could not kill them.
But even so, they dare not directly confront the Fire that Burns Everything… It is among the very few forces within the multiverse that can actually kill them.
Although Alan’s Fire that Burns Everything might not have been very satisfying in terms of its destructive power, attack speed, and accuracy, conceptually, it still possessed an overwhelmingly dominant force.
A speech bubble appeared once again above Amicio’s head.
“My secret weapon can even threaten the gods, but there are many ways to overcome it. Alan, if you can defeat me before it kills you, or find a way to seal it, then you will achieve victory.”
After the word “building,” a person slipped out… “Alan.”
He immediately started to escape.
“The Servant of Fate” kept chasing after Alan, even as he continuously dodged and tried to block with the Fire that Burns Everything, he was still being relentlessly pursued.
Fate was getting closer and closer.
No one could truly escape fate. “The messengers of fate” naturally possessed a frightening characteristic: anything they set their sights on would be relentlessly pursued and caught without fail.
Only by choosing to confront fate do you have a chance.
However, Alan couldn’t stop. Once he was caught up, he would be swallowed up by the “servants of fate,” completely erased from the fabric of destiny, and no one would even remember him anymore.
Perhaps, for extraordinary beings, physical death is merely a negative state. However, if one is conceptually erased by fate, it truly means being dead to the core.
Even the gods would fear being erased by the forces of destiny and causality.
By then, there would be no possibility for resurrection.
The Son of God, Amicio, had an incredibly powerful move that Aaron couldn’t think of a way to counter. He could only do his best to hold on, while silently praying to the great Savior in his heart.
I can’t die like this!
There were still many things left undone; unable to resurrect Lin Bian and the other Night Watchers, unable to find Bai Yan, and unable to fully assist Babel Tower in saving the World.
In Alan’s heart, there were countless feelings of unwillingness!
Suddenly, a new “Fire that Burns Everything” appeared out of nowhere, and the most black words instantly surrounded the “Servant of Destiny,” completely engulfing it in flames!
Even the gods would tremble with fear, as the “Servant of Destiny,” who should yield three steps, began to silently wail.
“The Fire that Burns Everything” is the nemesis of this monstrous concept, ultimately reducing it to ashes.
“Amicio” and “Alan” were both utterly shocked, as it turned out that, unnoticed, a new name had infiltrated the dimension made up purely of words.
Alan’s emotions were especially greatly stirred, for this new name was his long-standing obsession, a source of regret in many of his dreams.
Best friends.
“Bai Yan”.
A speech bubble appeared next to Bai Yan.
“Alan, it’s the second time already, but I managed to arrive just in time again… After all, your place is always the most troublesome, even the annulus civilization’s backtracking couldn’t save it from being erased.”
“So, no matter which time it was, I had to prioritize saving you.”
