Absolute Choice

Chapter 326: You must return safely as well

“Make your choice, youth!”

The fiery voice resounded in his mind as Shi Xiaobai looked at the three choices in front of him while being lost in thought.

Ka Xiaozi was Kali and raging meant Pixie Raging, the acceptance of the power of corruption.

Shi Xiaobai chose to commit suicide to repeat everything. The goal was clear, he wanted to prevent Kali from raging.

But in the previous time loop, there were still many questions that remained unanswered.

Why did Kali suddenly vanish?

Why did the rookies fall into a hallucination where he was a dragon?

Who was the mastermind behind this?

With Kali’s strength, why did she need the power of corruption to save him?

Shi Xiaobai was not omniscient like God. Everything he could see from his position was a haze, one which was dense and impenetrable.

Shi Xiaobai considered for a long while, failing to come up with anything. Only when the countdown began did Shi Xiaobai choose Choice 2, prevent Ka Xiaozi from raging.

Shi Xiaobai was a selfless person. He could silently save everyone without asking for anything in return, even if they were strangers.

However, Shi Xiaobai was also a selfish person. When Kali and saving everyone was placed on the same scales, Shi Xiaobai would lean towards the former.

He would still do his best to protect all the rookies, but if there were any rookie who succumbed due to their own silly acts, he would force himself to be cold-blooded unless the rookie was Mu Yuesheng, Mozzie and company in order to prevent Kali from raging.

…

Time repeated again. The pink-haired Ka Xiaozi was still like a timid and lovable girl standing beside Shi Xiaobai. The rookies were currently in the mountain valley, discussing the oddness of it and debating over where the dragon had gone to.

Shi Xiaobai looked to his side at Ka Xiaozi. After determining that she was Kali, the look in Shi Xiaobai’s eyes changed slightly.

Ka Xiaozi was apparently very sensitive, allowing her to obviously sense the change in his eyes. Immediately, she asked out of curiosity, “Why?”

Shi Xiaobai hesitated for a moment as he whispered, “You might not believe it, but in fact This King…”

Since Ka Xiaozi was Kali, with Kali’s powers, she could definitely weed out the masterminds ahead of time. She could use her absolute strength to nip the plot in the bud.

Then, the easiest way to solve this matter was to tell Kali what had happened in the previous timeline. She could definitely solve all the problems.

Pixie Raging might not necessarily be physically painful, but it was definitely a psychological torment. Even if he had to use the most cheesy means, Shi Xiaobai absolutely choose not to let Kali experience such psychological pain. Therefore, he decided to tell her about the Absolute Choice.

However, the moment Shi Xiaobai opened his mouth, time came to a halt. Everything in front of him turned still once again.

A cold voice resounded in his mind:

“It is forbidden to reveal any details of other timelines or the actions of the Absolute Choice. If breached, everything would repeat.”

Shi Xiaobai was slightly surprised, but not overly alarmed. In fact, he was mentally prepared. This was the first time he had decided on using the strength of others to complete the Absolute Choice, but he had the opinion from the beginning that this was equivalent to cheating, and doubted if it would be allowed.

Clearly, the Absolute Choice wished for Shi Xiaobai to be able to independently solve the difficulty he was facing.

Time paused for a minute before it continued.

Shi Xiaobai fell silent. Since he could not leverage the power of Kali, he had to rely on himself to resolve the predicament he was in.

“Oh?”

Ka Xiaozi puzzledly gave a ‘yea’, when she noticed how Shi Xiaobai stopped mid sentence.

Only then did Shi Xiaobai react as he whispered, “In fact, This King…has the nagging feeling that something is hidden somewhere, spying on us.”

Ka Xiaozi blinked her eyes and softly said, “Is that so? I don’t feel it.”

Shi Xiaobai fell silent. She actually played the fool with him. Alright, you win.

Clearly, Kali did not think highly of the masterminds.

“Even a wise man sometimes makes a mistake. Although This King is powerful, there are always conspiracies that are beyond This King’s expectations. Therefore, this spying feeling makes This King especially uncomfortable. Even if they are just silly clowns, This King will choose to strike first if he discovers them, to prevent the worst.”

Shi Xiaobai seemed to be talking to himself, and appeared to be posturing, but in fact, he was insinuating Kali, warning her that even the conspiracies of silly clowns should be nipped in the bud.

When Ka Xiaozi heard this, she ruminated for a moment, but it was unknown if she took it to heart.

Shi Xiaobai did not speak further. Since the Absolute Choice had limited him to resolve the situation himself, Shi Xiaobai was not idiotic enough to try to look for loopholes.

The reason why Kali raged was clearly a result of him being caught in a sure-death situation. Kali could only save him by raging.

In other words, to prevent Kali from raging, the simplest and most direct method was to ensure his own safety.

…

Shi Xiaobai had a rough plan in his mind. Just like before, he hollered for the rookies to leave the mountain valley.

First of all, he had to save the farting youth and the youth that was running naked. Even though they were pig-like teammates, Shi Xiaobai wouldn’t go as far as abandoning them.

But this time, not only did Shi Xiaobai use the Massage Technique of God to inhibit the urge of the farting youth’s farting, he had also made him unconscious.

The farting youth was caught off guard. He felt Shi Xiaobai press his shoulder a few times before suddenly feeling very tired. Very naturally, he closed his eyes.

This farting youth had previously released a repugnant fart in the valley, causing the invisible monsters to attack him. Later on, he spat outside the valley, causing the wrath of the dragon. He was a pig-like teammate out of pig-like teammates. Having had a moment of thought, Shi Xiaobai decided to let the wretched youth take a nap, saving him from trouble later.

This time, Shi Xiaobai was in no hurry to leave. Instead, he waited till everyone left the valley before giving a few words of exhortation. Only then, did he rush into the woods.

Shi Xiaobai very quickly found the naked youth, which happened to be the moment the black-robed youth arrived.

The black-robed youth was feeling angered by the disgusting scene in front of him, and having also seen Shi Xiaobai, it was extremely incensed.

Shi Xiaobai did not say a word either and rushed towards the black-robed youth!

A psionic knife appeared in Shi Xiaobai’s hand!

The black-robed youth waved his crimson sickle, but even if it was a different timeline, there was no difference to the outcome of the battle.

The black-robed youth’s power of darkness and power of bloodlust were too weak to withstand the Pig Slaughtering Knife.

Just like before, Shi Xiaobai’s knife pierced through the sanguinary storm, shattering the crimson barrier, and continued thrusting straight at the black-robed youth’s chest!

“Then let’s die together!”

The black-robed youth’s eyes turned ferocious as it chose to self-destruct. Even in death, it wanted to grab Shi Xiaobai to enter hell together.

“Die by yourself.”

Shi Xiaobai sneered. At the moment the knife stabbed the black-robed youth’s chest, Shi Xiaobai had already darted away like a hare before the knife stabbed the heart.

Previously, Shi Xiaobai could only rely on his inkling for danger to barely dodge in time. This time, he already knew of the black-robed youth’s ruthless means, so how would he be dumb enough to wait for his self-destruction?

“No!”

The black-robed youth’s eyes were filled with disbelief. His face was one of rage, resentment, and indignation. The knife had yet to pierce his heart. He was still alive.

But…because he believed he was sure to die, his self-destruct mechanism had already been activated.

“Boom!”

The black-robed youth blew himself up as drops of blood scattered everywhere in the forest. It caused the trees, ground, and rocks to turn charred black, a ruined mess everywhere.

However, Shi Xiaobai had already escaped more than a few hundred meters away, and was left completely unharmed.

The naked youth was awestruck.

An instakill of the black-robed youth. How was Shi Xiaobai so awesome?

“Big Brother Shi Xiaobai, please accept my kneel!”

The naked youth nearly knelt before Shi Xiaobai.

Shi Xiaobai was silent. Bro, This King will be very satisfied if you just put on your clothes.

…

The blood worms that formed after the black-robed youth’s self-destruct had previously caused great distress to Shi Xiaobai. The blood worms had chewed through the ligaments in his knee, limiting his mobility. It resulted in him being unable to use Crab Steps to dodge the attacks of the invisible monsters and the dragon.

Now, by eliminating the black-robed youth first, it could be considered as him removing an uncertain factor.

Shi Xiaobai very quickly brought the naked youth back to the valley exterior. At this moment, the farting youth was still unconscious. No one spat, so it naturally did not trigger the wrath of the dragon. As such, the crowd was in a rather safe situation.

The moment Shi Xiaobai returned to the valley exterior, he borrowed a sword from a girl.

The girl was clearly already an admirer of Shi Xiaobai. She was excited and delighted to lend her sword to Shi Xiaobai.

Shi Xiaobai thanked her before turning to walk into the valley with extremely cold-looking eyes.

The rookies were mostly paying attention to Shi Xiaobai’s actions, so they immediately followed when Shi Xiaobai entered the valley.

What followed left them astounded as they stood at the entrance to the valley.

They saw Shi Xiaobai holding a black sword in his right hand, and the borrowed sword in his left, he attacked with the swords in unison!

Shi Xiaobai had previously used a sword unison attack with Sunless. The power of that attack disrupted Sen Senyuan’s deathblow and reduced him to a wretched state.

And at this moment in time, Shi Xiaobai had completed a sword unison attack alone!

Shi Xiaobai’s training of his left hand in the battles with Heartless at the fourth level now played its biggest role!

Right hand, Kun Peng’s Sword of Fire!

Left hand, Kun Peng’s Sword of Wind!

This was not only using swords in unison, it was also the integration of the Kun Peng Sword Technique. The power of the attack was beyond imagination!

Shi Xiaobai roared as he slashed out with both swords!

Wind and fire burst through the sky!

The inferno in the swirling winds formed a flaming hurricane that swept the sky in the valley!

Shrill screams resounded above the valley, giving everyone a scare.

Shi Xiaobai’s eyes were cold as he mercilessly slashed out thousands of sword beams into the valley.

One charred and ugly monster after another died in the sea of flames as they plummeted from the sky.

Damn monsters!

The flesh you have eaten, the bones you have gnawed, the blood you have drunk, vomit all of them out for This King!

You have previously bitten off heads and limbs. Every wound you left on This King’s body is still remembered by This King!

Now, behold This King’s wrath!

In a little more than three minutes, Shi Xiaobai alone with just two swords had wiped out all the invisible drakes in the valley!

Outside the valley, the dragon let out an indignant roar, but it did not dare to approach.

Everyone was left dumbfounded. Shi Xiaobai, who was like a demon king that engaged in a massacre, left them in awe.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

“The dragon…the dragon has appeared!”

“Ah! The dragon has devoured Shi Xiaobai!”

“No, quickly save Shi Xiaobai. Kill the dragon!”

“…”

Shi Xiaobai turned around silently.

There were charred corpses everywhere in the valley. Other than him, where was the dragon?

The expected illusion had appeared, but the script had changed.

Shi Xiaobai surveyed the crowd around him and sighed softly.

When everyone fell into a hallucination, Ka Xiaozi had indeed disappeared.

She had silently vanished.

Just like before, he did not know where she had gone to, but the way the masterminds had left Kali with no choice but to leave was ever so subtle.

“This time, I will also safely survive. You must return safely as well.”

Shi Xiaobai said to the air in a gentle whisper.
