~4 minute read · 932 words

The invisible Ether emanates from Bai Ou’s body, when the Ether concentration reaches its peak, you can clearly see ripples in the air like tides, repeatedly hitting Bologue’s body, seeping in through his wounds.

"His Secret Energy works through the wounds... this is an invasion of the Rectangular Soul Critical!"

Just like a bizarre experiment, when Bologue’s thoughts are blocked, Aimou, through Bologue as the experimental subject, gradually realizes the principle of Bai Ou’s Secret Energy.

Bologue breaths a sigh of relief, his sacrifice has paid off, then he listens closely to Aimou’s analysis. Under the influence of the Injury of Bliss, even the simplest thought becomes extremely difficult.

"The Secret Energy of the Void Spirit School is triggered through Ether as a medium, his Ether leaks out, enters your body through the wounds, fiercely attacking the nerves, then invading the Rectangular Soul Critical. The longer you continue to fight him, the greater the impact of Secret Energy on you."

"Is that so..."

Bologue inhales sharply.

No wonder his flesh heals so slowly, Bai Ou’s Ether attaches to the wounds, in the case of Ethereum Mutual Exclusion, this instead restrains the resurrection of the flesh and blood.

The hideous wound on the chest allows Bai Ou’s Ether to penetrate unobstructed into Bologue’s body, the terrifying torture is applied to him, if it were a normal person, they would have fainted in severe pain long ago, but Bologue still maintains clarity and reason, confronting Bai Ou.

"Interesting, many times, opponents I encounter in this situation plead for my mercy, wanting to die quickly."

All of the wounds on Bai Ou’s body have healed, black sutures repeatedly traverse, he looks like a tattered puppet.

"Why don’t you plead with me?"

Faced with Bai Ou’s question, Bologue exposes a mocking expression, he taunts, "You can try, see if you can really kill me."

"Oh?"

Bai Ou raises a blade full of gaps and scars, the cold end slowly piercing into the hot organ, just a bit more and he could pierce Bologue’s heart.

Bologue meets Bai Ou’s gaze without fear, in fact, Bologue is looking forward to Bai Ou killing him, so he can rely on pseudo-death to seek another opportunity, and the Time Reversing Axis can break through the influence of the Injury of Bliss, allowing Bologue’s wounds to completely heal, returning to optimum state.

Just as Bai Ou is about to kill Bologue, Bai Ou suddenly retracts the blade, he squats down, at the same time the pain shrouding Bologue’s mind rapidly subsides. Bai Ou actively withdrew Secret Energy.

"Are you really not afraid of death?"

Bai Ou asks in confusion, he detects no trace of fear in Bologue, which dampens Bai Ou’s motivation.

"I understand people like you well."

"Death isn’t a punishment for you," Bologue exhales deeply, the pain disappears, his thoughts unimpeded, "taking away your pleasure, that’s torturing you."

Bologue has already understood this from Serey and the Astronaut, they don’t care about glory and dignity, even life and death don’t matter to them, the only thing that deserves their attention are things that stir their heartstrings.

Bologue sneers at Bai Ou, "A perverted killer’s favorite part is the prey desperately pleading under their butcher’s knife..."

Now Bologue ruins this part, Bai Ou’s surging emotion gets stuck at the juncture, unable to release.

Bai Ou’s smile freezes on his face, then he breaks into a more sincere smile, he crouches down, his sight level with Bologue.

"You’re interesting, friend."

Excitement fills Bai Ou’s face, the blade poking around Bologue’s exposed organs, "Want to join us?"

Bologue doubts he heard wrong, "What did you say?"

"Join us, Zongge Orchestra," Bai Ou isn’t joking, he’s very earnest, "You’re an interesting guy, we like interesting guys."

Bai Ou offers a promise to Bologue, "As long as you offer your soul to the great lady, you can gain power like mine, experience that ultimate bliss... As for living, compared to that wonderful thing, life is just incidental."

The dark and oppressive power extends from Bai Ou’s body, his dull pupils become even deeper, twisted, like black holes devouring light.

At this moment Bologue can clearly feel something is coming, she uses Bai Ou’s shell as a vehicle, breaking through all kinds of bindings, involving the mortal world.

Bai Ou awaits Bologue’s response, then he senses that familiar vibration from Bologue, Bai Ou grabs Bologue’s hand.

Palm spreads open, the brand of the sun comes forth, emanating warm waves.

Initially Bologue does not understand why Belphegor confers the brand upon him, from the transaction with the Tyrant, the Devil would absolutely not grant you power out of nowhere, if they do not demand a price now, then the price will certainly be paid in the not-too-distant future.

Now Bologue roughly understands, Belphegor’s Protection·Eternal Labor absolutely restrains the Secret Energy of the Void Spirit School, no matter how frenzied and bizarre the illusions, all will vanish under the clarity of Eternal Labor.

Belphegor anticipated the conflict between himself and Zongge Orchestra, the Devil hates this group of traitors, he hopes to use Bologue’s hand to eliminate them.

In battle, Bologue has never used the power granted by Belphegor, there are many reasons, but they can fundamentally be summed up as one, Bologue doesn’t want to succumb to the Devil’s conspiracy.

"Belphegor... heh heh heh..."
