Endless Debt Chapter 682 - 193: Convergence of the Stars

The storm devoured Free Port, the seawater reversed and surged up, effortlessly overflowing the pier, crashing through the narrow streets, inundating the slums in an instant, then surging towards the city.

The fierce wind howled between buildings, doors and windows trembled violently, people’s cries and wails were constant, as if an invisible hand was slapping everything, trees toppled in ranks, crushing houses and collapsing bridges.

A blurred light slowly emerged from the rain mist, and the next moment, a steel creation, carrying scorching steam and rumbling echoes, smashed through the rain’s barrier and sped off along the tracks.

On the roof of the train, Bologue struggled to lift his head, countless raindrops facing him, Free Port was entirely hidden behind the rain mist, leaving only a vague ghostly blue silhouette and the faint city lights in sight.

Amidst the radiant stars rendered by the storm, Bologue could easily see the brightest firelight, located at the dock, the fire consuming the giant beast, burning passionately, becoming the brightest sun in the rain mist.

Paradise, the core of this event, this giant ship was like a whirlpool on the sea, swallowing all the passing ships around it, dragging them into the deep sea abyss.

"According to intelligence from Nolen, they recently discovered Gold... Gold is in a bad state, he’s been in a coma and is carrying something suspected to be a primordial item."

Yuriel’s voice resonated in Bologue’s mind, now this fast-moving train was like a mobile communication station, trying to reconnect scattered team members.

"Gold is here," Bologue said as he crawled into the carriage from the side, "where are the other team members?"

No matter how bad the situation was, at least Bologue knew where Gold was.

"Not sure... we don’t even know what Gold encountered, he’s a Defender."

Yuriel’s words were filled with restraint, deeply concerned about the upcoming actions.

For the second and third-tier Extraordinary Organizations, a Defender is already the highest power level. Even among the Tide Whisperers, there are few Defenders, but now such a mysterious event has caused a Defender to lose consciousness, which is unsettling.

The train sped into Free Port, racing along the circular tracks, and the burning Paradise gradually became clearer behind the rain mist.

Bologue opened the reserve depot in the carriage, which contained a large assortment of weapons, including stockpiled Red Mercury.

Time was running out for Bologue, he equipped himself with many consumable Alchemy Armaments and absorbed some Red Mercury with Deceitful Snake Scale Liquid for replenishment.

He grabbed a few potions, their containers glowing gently—these were distilled from the Sublimation Furnace Core "Mang Silver Soul," capable of replenishing Ether in emergencies.

Without hesitation, Bologue injected them into his arm, the needle penetrating deep into the bone, and then Bologue’s Alchemy Matrix began to glow and undulate.

No need to worry about after-effects or side effects, relying on an Undead body, Bologue used brute-force methods to restore his condition and prepare for the upcoming battle.

"Okay, okay, let me think about what to do next..."

The Mang Silver Soul brought Bologue a sense of indescribable satisfaction, for a Debtor, each soul intake was a kind of ecstasy.

Thanks to "Harvest," Bologue only needed to cut down Demons to suppress his Bulimia Nervosa, so he didn’t inject Mang Silver Soul frequently, whereas during Palmer’s promotion period, to ensure stability, he needed to inject quite a lot of Mang Silver Soul daily.

"Yuriel, you are responsible for contacting everyone, announcing the known information."

Team members were scattered, performing different tasks, facing major information gaps amongst each other.

"As for me... I’ll go find Gold."

Bologue pushed the carriage door, seeing the burning Paradise approaching.

"Eliminate all those who obstruct, if I encounter Hert, I’ll find a way to hold him off."

In mentioning this, Bologue thought of Lebius.

Bologue always felt Lebius wasn’t good at conversing, and his negotiation success with Raging Tide Guard was low, with both teams potentially already in combat.

Cannot place all hope on Lebius.

"Alright."

The reply from Yuriel sounded in his mind as the train brakes engaged, the iron serpent slowing on the wet tracks. This was a good position for Yuriel, her Heart Core Net could fully cover the harbor position.

"Aimou, rest’s over."

Bologue muttered to himself, his teal eyes displaying a golden halo, the brightness constantly increasing, until his eyes were rendered into a noble teal color.

Yuriel heard a roar, then the carriage started trembling violently, under the rain curtain, an apparent monster was sprinting, each of its steps shattered the ground beneath, along with rain turning to mist.

A large group of Zongge Orchestra members surrounded Paradise, nearly all were Demons under Protection, only a few Condensers guarded the outside, the remaining elite forces had joined Bai Ou in invading Paradise.

Like a wild party, they kept throwing Molotov cocktails, explosives at Paradise, observing the sacred, inviolable creation, symbolic of the United Company’s power, burn fiercely.

Some even braved the storm to carry cans of fuel, pushing them into the roiling sea, lighting them ablaze, instantly covering the sea with roaring flames. Demons cheered at the rising fire wall, akin to a grand sacrifice.

Low rumbling thunder and the sensation of tremors drew their attention, some turned around, noticing something approaching ominously behind the rain mist.

Several First Stage Condensers stood up, speculating it was the reinforcements of the Tide Whisperers, but given the scattered power of the Tide Whisperers, even reinforcements would struggle to breach their defense; after all, their rank was low, but they carried the Joyous Desire Witch’s Protection.

Inexhaustible Ether and ignorance of pain provided substantial support for Condensers.

Ether stirred among the crowd, the Alchemy Matrix’s radiance flashed on the Condensers, ready for action.

No... they weren’t ready.

Upon seeing the monster emerge from the rain mist, the Condenser began to doubt whether he had partied too hard, with Protection’s power distorting his mind and resulting in hallucinations.

A silver-white lion clad in Iron Armor, its mane like iron whips, rubbing against each other as it dashed forward, easily shattering raindrops into mist as deadly blades adorned the armor’s back, its body arching like silver lightning leaping into the crowd.

Blood splattered before the Condenser’s eyes, then he saw his severed limbs, only realizing at this moment that it wasn’t a hallucination but an actual Evil Spirit slaughtering its way out of a nightmare.

The Silver Lion danced among the crowd, despite its heavy, massive body, its movements agile and graceful, like water.

Demons roared, pulling triggers, bullets bouncing off the armor, Condensers attempted to release Secret Energy in retaliation, but the next blade cleaved them in half.

This wasn’t random dance; it was targeted attack, eliminating those Condensers with Extraordinary Power first; as for the remaining Demons, they were just lambs awaiting slaughter.

Crumbled corpses piled up along the dock, as another wave swept over, dragging bodies and blood marks away with the sea.

Bologue smashed the last person’s head, kicked his body into the roaring fiery sea, then leaped onto Paradise without looking back.

Yuriel’s eyes closed, complex patterns emerged on her body, their light extending continuously, covering surrounding instruments and equipment.

Invisible forces expanded, sweeping through buildings and streets under this torrential rain, even covering Free Port’s coastal areas, encompassing countless ships.

In the void, Yuriel saw darkness, then within this darkness, she saw the shining stars.

The tracks forged by starlight connected all the stars.

"Yuriel June broadcasting to all team members..."
