Volume 9, Chapter 42 – Reversal

“The correction begins.”

Staring expressionlessly at the reality world that had begun to collapse, Tianyin’s emotionless voice slowly rang out.

She then turned around, her gaze shifting horizontally as her eyes moved toward Dawn below.

“The World Will is about to arrive. Preliminary assessment… probability of victory is ninety nine percent.”

Like an emotionless machine calculating the odds, Tianyin’s figure lightly swayed, then vanished into the void.

And even though Tianyin had already left, the shattered real world in the distance continued to collapse.

The next second, Tianyin’s figure appeared within the sight of Xingyu Muxi and the others.

“Xiaoyin…”

Seeing the familiar yet unbearably unfamiliar Tianyin, when Xingyu Muxi opened her mouth and called out that name, she forcibly stopped the rest of what she wanted to say.

Because Xingyu Muxi could feel it… the current Tianyin no longer cared about her.

And that was indeed the case. Faced with Xingyu Muxi’s instinctive call, Tianyin, standing high in the air, directly chose to ignore it, her gaze unmoving as it fixed on a single figure within the crowd.

To be precise… that was not a human, but an undead skeleton clad head to toe in armor.

“That is…”

Following Tianyin’s gaze, Xingyu Muxi also noticed that skeleton who possessed only Legendary-tier strength. And at that very moment, Xingyu Muxi recognized the skeleton’s identity.

“Duansheng Tingyu… Xiaomengyao’s brother… then why is Xiaoyin staring at him so intently? Or could it be that the World Will about to descend will manifest on Xiaomengyao’s brother…”

Very soon, Xingyu Muxi’s guess was proven correct.

Because… under Tianyin’s tight gaze, Duansheng Tingyu, who looked as if he were on his last breath, suddenly stood up as if nothing was wrong.

“So in the end I still couldn’t stay hidden… Corrector. I hid myself so well, so why were you still able to tell that I am the World Will?”

As the hoarse voice rang out, Xingyu Muxi clearly felt that Duansheng Tingyu, who originally only had Legendary-tier strength, suddenly emitted an aura so powerful that even she felt fear.

“Hidden well? To me, the World Will itself is as obvious as the sun in the sky. Before I even fused, I had already detected your existence during the Light Orb stage.”

Tianyin calmly stated the cold facts.

“World Will, you should receive correction.”

As Tianyin’s words fell, she slowly raised her palm.

“Outsider, after exhausting the power of two entire worlds, is it still not enough to resist you?”

Duansheng Tingyu roared unwillingly as well, drawing the pale skeleton sword in his hand and beginning to resist.

In an instant, the entire world suddenly fell into darkness. Immediately after, light returned once more.

And when the world returned to brightness, Xingyu Muxi finally saw that Duansheng Tingyu, who had just been talking about resisting Tianyin, had completely lost all ability to resist. A blood red light chain pierced through his skull, nailing him firmly within the void.

“Lost?”

Standing beside Xingyu Muxi, Yivrea stared blankly at Tianyin, her tone becoming somewhat dazed.

“Yes, we have already lost…”

Their carefully prepared combat power had been crushed by Tianyin in a single strike.

The World Will that had been hiding among them also lost all ability to resist in an instant.

At this point, Xingyu Muxi could no longer find any good solution.

“We had already lost from the very beginning… Yivrea.”

“Xiaoyin was originally someone who existed in a different world from us. Even though we share extremely precious memories with her… in the end, we still had to become enemies.”

“Maybe from the very start, we shouldn’t have met her at all…”

Compared to the dejected Xingyu Muxi, Ysera appeared even more desperate.

“Why… why…”

“Father has already abandoned me… why even you, Xiaoyin… are you abandoning me too…”

“Why did it turn out like this… did I do something wrong?”

“I’ll change, Xiaoyin… don’t abandon me, don’t throw me away…”

“…”

“Is it really over?”

Andrew, who had already decided to give up resisting, looked at the silent Yunchou.

“You, why aren’t you saying anything now?”

“Why should I speak?”

Yunchou, remaining silent, narrowed his eyes as he stared at Tianyin, who had placed her hand on Duansheng Tingyu’s head. His voice sounded distant.

“Do you see it? That is the Supreme preparing to completely erase the World Will. The World Will had actually been lurking on that player all along, but before it revealed itself, even someone as powerful as the Supreme had no way to forcibly draw it out.”

“And only when the World Will is forced to emerge can the Supreme so easily destroy it.”

Yunchou’s voice seemed as if it were coming from far away. Such calm narration caused Andrew to blank out for a moment.

“Wait… you… why do you know this so clearly?”

“You want to ask why?”

Yunchou smiled faintly.

“It’s very simple. Because I’ve seen this kind of thing far too many times already…”

At the instant Yunchou finished speaking… Tianyin, who had her hand pressed on Duansheng Tingyu’s head while searching for the World Will, showed a slight change in expression.

“Did you realize it? But… it’s already too late!”

Duansheng Tingyu, who had just been on his last breath, let out a hoarse voice. At the same time, he lightning fast extended his withered hands and tightly grabbed the hand Tianyin had pressed against his head.

“Outsider, your judgment wasn’t wrong. I am indeed the World Will… but what you don’t know is that as the World Will, I can temporarily and silently transfer most of my power to someone else…”

Power, given to someone else?

Only at this moment did Tianyin understand why Duansheng Tingyu, who had looked far stronger than even a Throne-tier, had been defeated by her in a single exchange.

Reαⅾ οn КatRеαⅾіngСаfе

The reason was very simple… because Duansheng Tingyu’s power had already been given to someone else.

And that person—

“Karl!”

“Roar—”

The Holy Paladin who had already become undead let out a furious roar as he swung his frost covered longsword.

Although Karl was Legendary, after receiving the World Will’s augmentation, the attack he unleashed carried an indescribable power.

Facing Karl’s attack, Tianyin intended to block with her other hand.

“Be at ease and let the sword pierce your body, outsider!”

Duansheng Tingyu struggled as his body forcibly broke free from the light chains, then tightly restrained Tianyin.

“Pu—”

The next moment… the longsword radiating icy air pierced straight through Tianyin’s heart without any obstruction.

“Hmm… this is, the Undead Grand Duke’s sword?”

Staring blankly at the sword that had pierced her body, Tianyin felt her heart had already stopped beating.

“So even with a ninety nine percent success rate, it can still, end in failure…”
