Chapter 1899 - 976: Savior_3

Before he could react, a bizarre and sticky slithering sound suddenly echoed in front of him.

Inside the dim labyrinth, a small dot quickly expanded, writhing as if countless tapeworms entwined together, swelling and growing.

Countless shadows of hands, legs, heads, and torsos overlapped and convulsed, appearing like a sphere at a glance.

Past, present, future.

All out-of-order fragments randomly overlapped, collapsing into the present, constituting the weird scene before him.

The so-called, worm!

——Shadow Sun Demon·Cancha!!

On the faces of countless silhouettes, hope, fear, confusion, bewilderment manifested in infinite expressions. Yet all eyes fixated on the masked craftsman pretending to be mysterious, or more precisely, on the sleeping child in his arms.

"「Riffraff/Bastard」!"

Hundreds of chaotic voices rose in unison, a harsh command: "Lay down the 「Gift/eye/origin stone」! Give it to 「me/Gift/Sacrifice」!!!"

Without hesitation, Ji Jue flicked his finger, and the black flame surged forth like a tide, blasting towards the bizarre maggot before him. Yet, the dancing black flame suddenly froze in mid-air, as if it was frozen.

Then it vanished into thin air.

In endlessly stretched time, it burned out.

But Ji Jue was already sprinting with all his strength, dashing forward like his life depended on it…

Even if it were a futile delay, he couldn't care less.

In the blink of an eye, he had already shot forward several kilometers, even accelerating further!

"「Trivial skill/Reckless」!"

On the worm sphere, hundreds of faces gazed down coldly: "In that case, then worship 「Primordial Star/Eternal End」!"

"You「grasshoppers/ants」, fleeting, ultimately have no fate with the realm of 「Instant/Eternity」.

On the frenzied, terrified, and bewildered shadow faces, all the lips opened and closed in unison, fervently praising: "Know that everything and everything, all 「return/come out」 from here!"

Crack—

A fine sound seemed to ring out.

Like the ticking of a second hand.

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick…

Even in supersonic speed dash, it was so clear.

Those fine sounds rapidly intensified, like a torrential rain, endless, yet simultaneously, Ji Jue's energy began to plummet at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After losing signal from the Doomsday Special Train, the spiritual reserves were completely cut off, and his own spiritual energy rapidly shrank, the maximum falling to a desperately depleted point.

Blessings one by one ceased to respond, even existing within the body, they couldn't be mobilized and used. The Matrix trembled violently, as if wrestling with an invisible force, pulling, yet also visibly slowly contracting, unable to resist.

Time.

Ji Jue felt as if he fell into an icy cavern.

He sensed it, time was reversing!

Under the control of the worm, Ji Jue's own time was constantly being rewound, losing all blessings and augmentations, unrecoverably declining, falling, returning to its past form.

And in the endless rewind, Ji Jue would ultimately return to nothingness.

No path to walk, nowhere to escape!

In the grandeur of the present world, the worm might be powerless, but inside its body, all time could be arbitrarily controlled and adjusted.

But something was wrong…

In a daze, Ji Jue's mind raced, keenly detecting the problem and doubt: If the worm's control over time was truly omnipotent, why go through such a tedious process? Why not just turn him into a fetus and squish him?

Why only push him back to the level of Summoning, yet unable to completely eradicate the Matrix?!

Because his soul wasn't affected!

Even if he lost all blessings, the Matrix began to contract, but the Circle Realm could still unfold!

It was the Circle Realm!

The Circle Realm still protected him!

Theoretically, as long as he unfolded the Circle Realm and hid within, even the worm might not be able to do anything to him temporarily.

But now comes a problem…

Is his Circle Realm that big?

By the time he realized, Ji Jue was already drenched in sweat, only able to watch helplessly as Cancha's figure inch by inch approached, finally feeling the consequences of some extreme decision!

The Non-Attack is indeed versatile, but the Circle Realm is too damn small!

Between the ten fingers, such a small spot, even if Ji Jue exhausted every effort to overextend, he could only protect the unconscious youngest.

Amidst his panting, sparks and burnt smells spewed from Ji Jue's mouth and nose, his entire person turning scorching red.

As if invisible flames engulfed him.

The Circle Realm overloaded in operation.

In the countless possibilities he observed, the youngest in his arms constantly being taken by the worm, disappearing without a trace and cause, vanishing out of thin air.

The once nearly infinite possibilities, now at the speed of light, shrinking, contracting, the slim chance left to him growing ever more slender, rapidly diminishing.

Yet now, clearly facing imminent death, under this unprecedented pressure, Ji Jue could hardly restrain himself, grinning.

A laughter emerged.

He finally saw that slim hope…

Though hope was so distant, and completely beyond his grasp, at this moment, hope actively roared from afar… heading towards him!

Just behind Cancha, on the bizarre yellow wallpaper of the labyrinth, in the flickering light, a shadow floated into existence.

Sharp angles.

Something, piercing through the layers of entangled webs, forcibly breaking through the chaotic time and space, penetrating, casting a clear silhouette in this eerie labyrinth, condensing into shape.

Like a child's shadow play with fire and walls.

The two sharp silhouettes intertwined, stretching and spreading on the wall, transforming into a mouth full of sharp fangs, slowly opening, then, suddenly snapping shut towards the unsuspecting worm.

Boom!!!

Labyrinth, time, space, even the worm sphere suspended mid-air, shattered on cue!

In the instant the shadow closed, a colossal invisible mouth descended upon the entire labyrinth, ripping a gaping hole from the outside in, biting the writhing worm.

Then, chew! Chew! Chew!

The sound of glass shattering, rocks splitting, leather tearing, airflow disrupting, thousands of distinctly different sounds overlapped, erupting continually with the mouth's chewing.

Amidst the bloodcurdling screams, boys, old men, strong men wailed in unison…

And just outside the chasm, the savior from above strolled in with an indifferent gait, swaying its tail, stepping leisurely, coldly glancing at the wailing, struggling demon.

Finally, its gaze fell upon Ji Jue.

Before he could see clearly, he was already engulfed in darkness.

"Boss?!"

Ji Jue pounced forward, directly hugging, frantically stroking and rubbing, on the brink of tears from joy mixed with adrenaline and the suspension bridge effect, "Yes, I love you too!

Wow! Quickly let me touch!

Long time no see, Boss, you've become thinner, your fur shorter, much darker, your mouth also finer… oww oww oww oww oww!!!"

Before he could finish, the savior in his embrace was already enraged, biting down on his hands that were still randomly groping, so fiercely and mercilessly that Ji Jue barked in pain like a dog.

Then, he realized a small problem.

What he was holding…didn't seem to be the Boss?

The newcomer bared its teeth warningly, shaking off Ji Jue's tugging, pulling away, not hiding its cold indifference and aloofness.

Under the flickering and broken lights, it was completely black, its body slender, fur sleek and glossy, a pair of sharp ears standing alert, scrutinizing this foolhardy fellow before it.

It was a, well…

Ji Jue's eyes widened.

…Du Bin?
