Chapter 95: Confrontation
Bai Yan discovered another “door” among the crowd.
This time, it was a flickering light door that pulsed continuously.
He stepped through the light door and entered a completely new scene.
Bai Yan’s pupils quivered slightly as he witnessed an almost inconceivable sight.
“This… is rather extreme.”
He drew a deep breath.
Although he knew that “Self Dimension” comprised both established past and potential futures, the scene before him left Bai Yan at a loss.
On the rooftop, he and Mu Ling stood facing each other…
At this moment, Bai Yan could comprehend the situation.
“Could this be possible?”
The aspect that made Bai Yan deeply contemplate and utterly fail to understand was…
The black sword blade in Mu Ling’s hand had pierced straight through his abdomen.
Her eyes held unquenchable hatred and rage.
As if she were destroying her most formidable enemy!
The eyes of “Bai Yan” were filled with helplessness and remorse, as though disappointed by the game’s failure.
While being with Mu Ling was a possibility he could grasp, being betrayed by someone “loyal” seemed rather inappropriate.
Bai Yan approached to observe more details but suddenly realized… there was another presence on the rooftop!
Hold on.
No, it wasn’t human.
Bai Yan moved toward the corner, his brow deeply furrowed, growing increasingly terrified as he neared the entity.
Never in his life had he experienced such overwhelming pressure!
Indeed, this was clearly not a human being.
Instead, it was a dark golden pupil encircled by a blue-black ribbon of light, marked with complex black lines within!
Looking at the dark golden enormous pupil, Bai Yan’s body trembled involuntarily, though he felt no fear himself.
“Outer God.”
He inhaled deeply, able to confirm this entity’s true identity.
It was extraordinarily terrifying, possessing power to destroy even ancient gods and being one of the Outer Gods that had existed since the universe’s creation.
Bai Yan suddenly detected movement.
This eye appeared to transcend time and rules. When observed, it had already noticed the “reality” of being watched.
Thus, it turned its gaze upon Bai Yan instead.
An immense pressure descended!
It was an indescribable, alien sensation that made him extremely reluctant to approach.
Upon seeing Bai Yan, this eye seemed to grow excited. The black lines within the golden pupils began writhing rapidly, and the blue-black light band expanded continuously, encompassing everything! Blanketing the sky!
This being…
What does It want with me?
For reasons unknown, Bai Yan didn’t avert his gaze despite the extreme pressure, but instead stared intently at his opponent.
As both sides confronted each other, the entire world began to collapse and fragment, while endless darkness surged from the horizon.
“Ugh.”
Amidst the endless darkness enveloping him, Bai Yan experienced a splitting headache.
The golden pupils grew ever larger, as if becoming greater than the world itself, completely occupying all space!
Bai Yan couldn’t endure anymore and finally shut his eyes.
The next instant,
He had returned to reality.
“Hah.”
Bai Yan inhaled deeply and felt somewhat dizzy, as if he hadn’t slept for three days straight.
Alan immediately grasped Bai Yan’s arm to support him, saying:
“Is the energy consumption that severe? Take it easy. I never expected your mental fortitude to be so weak that you couldn’t maintain control.”
Bai Yan couldn’t argue and could only silently listen as the other continued speaking.
Alan calmly proceeded, “Remember, Bai Yan, such exploration should be limited to once weekly, otherwise it can easily spiral out of control. In that dimension, extraordinary beings sometimes encounter strange things… If you explore too frequently, you’ll accumulate madness, and the consequences will certainly be unimaginable.”
“Yes, I understand.”
The previous scene lingered in Bai Yan’s mind, leaving him with the distinct impression that the presence he’d encountered might indeed be an “Outer God.”
It seemed as though… it was particularly interested in him.
Theoretically, whether mortal or transcendent, whether dust or planet, very few things could capture the interest of Outer Gods.
They themselves already transcended all things.
Yet, It had targeted him.
What was the reason? Because of the “Babel Tower’s” existence?
Bai Yan shook his head and recovered from his dizziness. For unknown reasons, he felt even calmer and more detached than ever before.
Though I encountered such an entity, I remained almost unnaturally calm…
“Perhaps this too is a form of madness.”
He drew a deep breath, stood beside Alan, and said, “I’m fine.”
“Are you certain?”
Only after repeatedly confirming Bai Yan’s well-being did Alan leave the storeroom, while Bai Yan contemplated the future possibilities he’d witnessed in the “Self Dimension.”
“Mu Ling… If I am to die by your hand in some future, then I believe only two possibilities exist. One is that you’ve been controlled by another.”
He sighed and continued his soliloquy.
“The other possibility is…”
“I deserve death.”
Bai Yan returned to his office in an ambivalent mood, suddenly felt his new phone vibrate, and glanced at it.
“Emergency mission!”
“Aliens! Invading Tatsumi City! Please respond immediately to apprehend the targets!”
Bai Yan was slightly puzzled, “Aliens”? This type of mission seemed unprecedented. Was it a relatively rare occurrence?
Upon checking, he noticed only one person was available for this emergency mission, so it likely wasn’t too serious a task.
“It appears these Aliens aren’t particularly formidable warriors after all.”
Bai Yan displayed a smirk.
“Hmm… let someone exercise a bit. If she continues being this lazy, she’ll definitely become a chubby little girl.”
Choosing to enter combat… “Psychic Dancer.”
——
In a dimly lit room, a small swollen quilt concealed a little figure in pajamas.
She slowly emerged from the quilt and stretched lazily.
“Ah!”
“How refreshing, absolutely delightful! Hahaha!”
Maryse had been extraordinarily happy these past few days.
Do you truly believe freedom brings happiness? No, not quite… A life of freedom resembles a mirage, making you euphoric, hahaha!
Confined to her home since childhood, she could only learn about the outside world through maids and the Internet. Her knowledge of various experiences in Tatsumi City was limited.
However, during this period, Maryse had been indulging in numerous delicacies and entertainment venues, and her days had reached their zenith!
As for monetary concerns, they posed no problem!
She spent the ill-gotten gains without hesitation and completely disregarded laws and regulations.
Additionally, she had even convinced several fugitives to surrender.
Maryse rose from her bed feeling exceptionally content, scratching her fair stomach before yawning and heading toward the bathroom. She crouched down with drowsy eyes and continued to doze.
Just as she pulled up her pants, she suddenly heard an incredibly disturbing sound.
[Psychic Dancer, seek Aliens.]
Upon hearing this voice, Maryse’s smile completely froze, her mood plummeting from the highest peak to the deepest valley in an instant.
Darn it!
