~4 minute read · 901 words

Bai Ou effortlessly tore Canary apart, causing a wall to collapse. Canary fell into the rubble, her breath chaotic.

Hert’s Ethereal Blade cut several wounds on Bologue’s body, blood gushing everywhere. Bologne tried to counterattack, but he could only strike at a mist that vanished with the wind.

Bologue sensed the killing intent rolling from behind him, like a searing hot iron approaching, stinging his skin. Bologue pulled down an iron wall, isolating himself from Hert, temporarily relieving the pressure of the assault. He then turned around to face Bai Ou’s furious and grim eyes that were devoid of light.

A force that allowed no resistance descended, and Bai Ou punched through Bologue’s abdomen. The iron wall that was supposed to block Hert now became Bologue’s own execution rack, pinning him brutally against the wall, painting it with blood.

"Look, Belphegor granted him immortality."

Bai Ou gazed venomously at Bologue. In his eyes, Belphegor had deceived him, and Bologue had taken away the affection that should have been his.

The Injury of Bliss expanded and was entirely injected into Bologue. He curled up in pain, able to see Bai Ou’s mouth open and close, speaking to him, but Bologne’s hearing was in disarray, and Bai Ou’s words turned into a distorted, roaring sound wave as they entered his ears.

The torment from the Injury of Bliss consumed all of Bologue’s attention. He could sense his Rectangular Soul Critical being gradually invaded by his body’s wounds and the influx of power. The ether within him began to lose control, like a raging beast that had lost its shackles, rampaging inside him.

Bologue felt his body becoming increasingly hot, as if his blood was about to ignite. The beast hidden within his chest wanted to break free, biting through his lungs and snapping his spine. His vision began to blur, and Bai Ou’s furious, grim face transformed into thousands of faces, loudly shouting at him.

Cursing himself, cursing Belphegor.

Bai Ou threw Bologue heavily to the ground. Bologue felt a few more bones break with a sharp crackling sound, like breaking branches.

Ripping large chunks of iron from the wall, Bai Ou roughly pinned Bologue in place, piercing through his thighs and arms, driving them into his body.

The venomous ether corroded into Bologue’s body. He felt his wounds rapidly festering, and under the endless phantom pain, he felt like a corpse soaked in a poisonous swamp.

Large patches of skin sprouted black blisters, and a piercing, unbearable wail from Aimou echoed in his mind. Clenching his teeth, Bologue activated the Blessing·Time Reversing Axis, causing the hideous wounds to heal anew. Flesh and metal fused together, as if Bologue were a monster made of both steel and flesh.

"Look! Just like this!"

Witnessing Bologue’s revival, Bai Ou seemed to suffer a crisis of faith, refusing to accept it. He clamored, "Why? Belphegor! Could he possibly be more valuable than me!"

Bai Ou grabbed Bologue by the throat, intending to strangle him personally, to crush his skull. At that moment, another shadow emerged on Bologue’s body.

"I’ve had enough!"

A sharp blade severed Bai Ou’s arm, slicing through half a head as well. Aimou released the Shared Chord Body, her arm splitting open beneath her Steel Body, revealing a hidden blade that extended forth.

The series of heavy blows not only tormented Bologne but also Aimou. In that moment, unable to bear any more, she launched an attack in retaliation, injuring Bai Ou, and allowing Bologne to escape from the successive severe damage, cutting through the pinned steel.

Bai Ou was stunned, even he hadn’t anticipated this sudden twist of events. Black sutures began to wriggle and crawl, like a swarm of erupting maggots, reaching towards Bologue. But before he could grab Bologue, a gust of wind swept past, and Bologue and Aimou disappeared before his eyes.

The wind dissipated, and not far away, Palmer stopped accelerating. He carried Bologue on his shoulder, held Aimou under his arm, like a chef returning from the supermarket, laden with ingredients for a banquet, warily eyeing the area filled with mist and death.

As Palmer took the two away from that region, the Thousand Jin Power descended, and Canary stood up from the ruins, attempting to suppress both Hert and Bai Ou single-handedly.

Secret Energy·Thousand Jins is classified under the Commanding School, allowing Canary to exert directional force on matter. Without the hindrance of the Void Realm in the core area below, Canary would have the full capacity to crush this area, throwing the two into the deep sea.

Mist billowed, Hert’s ether lost its tangible form, thus avoiding Canary’s suppression. Bai Ou simply ignored Canary, glaring angrily at Bologue.

Bologue faintly guessed Bai Ou’s past, gleaning from his and Canary’s names that Bai Ou might have once been a member of the Unfettered Poetry Society. He might have been Belphegor’s most cherished follower, perhaps even showing potential to become the Chosen One.

Bai Ou yearned for immortality from Belphegor, but Belphegor did not satisfy his desire, providing an opportunity for the Joyous Desire Witch.

The Joyous Desire Witch granted Bai Ou immortality, corrupting the Unfettered Poetry Society, turning the poets to betray, subsequently leading to the birth of the Zongge Orchestra.
