Chapter 828: Chapter 41: The Other Side of Parallel Lines (Part 4)
Gongsun Ce struggled to get up and stood trembling. He thought that the Dawn Knight should not be so fragile; there must be a reason, a reason for her failure… What was Situ Yi’s train of thought… What is the core of this trap…
——It’s just me who wants revenge! Revenge on you! Revenge on Alandia!
He suddenly understood why this trap worked. Because Alandia was so lonely. Everyone was hostile towards her, and very few cherished her, aside from a few good-natured colleagues she only had a handful of friends. She placed her hard-won friends in the most important position in her heart, but her former friends turned against her and wounded her soul. Her heart was already hurt that day, and the wound had never healed.
“A woman that one can’t stand to look at…!”
Gongsun Ce wiped the blood from his face and stepped forward again. Unprecedented emotions filled his body, making his power immense. For the first time in his life, he wanted to destroy something completely. He must break this invisible wall, even if it meant exhausting all his strength to obliterate it.
“Telekinesis” rapidly expanded at this moment, an indescribable violent force concentrated in the only remaining right fist of the young man. In an instant, his aura became unfamiliar and fierce, like a demon from mythology looking to burn the world. Gongsun Ce roared and leaped after the run-up, swinging his fist with all his might, directing his will and thoughts toward the barrier dividing the world!
·
“Alandia… Alandia…”
Heard someone’s call.
Faintly like the noise of a train. Resembling the static in an Illusion Realm.
“Come back…!”
Where to return?
Countless human figures floated around Him. So many people narrated a fact: that the human world didn’t need His existence. The moment of decision had arrived. He slowly floated upwards, surrounded by countless people, moving higher and higher…
“Are you a sulky child! Just because your followers betrayed you, does it hurt this much!!”
But someone’s voice still remained.
Clear, loud, it was no longer static. A muffled sound came, like someone pounding a wall with their fists. The shallowness of those words left Him helpless, as it wasn’t such a simple problem. It was the conflict between His mode of existence and His heart’s desires, was the isolation between me and the world was…
“It’s just because of loneliness! Because you feel hated by everyone!!”
No distance is too far, the God pondered the real eternal truth, exploring a new form of existence for life, while the observing boy did not have such a high view or Realm, he could only think with his monotonous logic, only feeling that He was pitiful and lonely.
No resonance or understanding. Merely shallow wishful thinking. The boy’s ignorant delusion, existing on a parallel line unrelated to Him. Lives moving along their respective tracks, never intersecting like the sky and the earth.
Yet, the pounding sound did not stop.
Yet, he on the parallel line continued to roar.
“A woman that one can’t stand to look at! In that case…”
Each strike sounded louder than the last; the stubborn human had never paused for a moment. The endless human figures began to tremble, everything quaked unsteadily like an angry giant god outside the planet pounding with its fists, wanting to imprint his will here. The blows descended like meteors, striking a pure white crack amidst the encircling of human figures!
The entire world shook, humanoid forms of malice flickered and disappeared, the illusion of Jane Della reappeared but was shattered by the aftershock before she could speak. Cracks blossomed during the fierce attacks, spreading to every corner of the world. With the final punch, countless lights and shadows shattered simultaneously, broken human faces crumbled from immeasurable heights, and in the dark world, a rain of light fell like scattered stardust!
Amidst the dissipating light, the real world emerged—not a giant god nor a meteor, merely a black-clad boy with black hair swinging his fist. He was gravely wounded, head bleeding, with only one arm left, looking wretched but standing tenaciously. The boy leaped from the air, reaching out to her, roaring at her.
“If you’re lonely, then let me be your follower!”
In that split second, their eyes met, they were so close yet had never been so far apart. He on the parallel line had exhausted his strength, unable to reach His hand.
So Alandia reached out, grabbing hold of the boy who risked everything to save her.
Gongsun Ce was pulled down to the ground by her, looking nervously at the silver-haired woman in front of him. She still seemed very confused, still in the fog. Her gaze slowly focused on his face, gradually revealing the smile he was familiar with.
“Thank you,” Alandia said softly.
On both sides of the Barrier, the great bell tolled simultaneously. Pure white power resonated with the bell sound inside and outside the Barrier, soothing the verge of collapse that was Shadow Mist City. The Dawn Knight, with the young man, crossed the Realm, arriving on the outside of the Barrier. The clear white light swept across the capital city, casting all vile beasts and ghosts beneath the sword.
Gongsun Ce eased his heart and lost consciousness.
He knew everything would end because the knight he was familiar with had returned to reality.
