Three Towers Game

Chapter 309 (10,000 words) The Wrath of the Soul

A father and a hero are not the same role after all; perhaps the child's expectations have changed.

At this moment, the guidance Wen Xishu received was actually the guidance to "play the role of a hero".

This child's expectations were so pure. It wasn't that she wasn't sad; she was just afraid of this world and never dared to be sad.

Wen Xishu suddenly remembered that the last time she encountered such a peaceful and beautiful scene of people sunbathing on the street... it was also in an extremely distorted world without "children".

In the apocalypse, seeing a city in ruins is perhaps the least of your worries; the most terrifying thing is a city that appears normal on the surface.

Nini nodded seriously:
"Then let's pinky swear, you'll definitely come back to see me, right?"

Wen Xishu smiled:

"Yes, we'll pinky swear! The hero would never lie to you."

Big hand and little hand made a pinky promise, and Wen Xishu made a solemn vow.

……

……

Playing the role of a father requires fulfilling his daughter's requests, which leads to situations where the daughter's request is for the hero to return—

Wen Xishu became that hero.

And at the moment he became a hero, many images and messages entered his mind in this twisted city.

That is what heroes must bear.

It was also the awareness he needed to fire that arrow.

……

……

The City of Balance, West District.

The room reeked of a foul stench, making Nicole feel like vomiting.

"New here?" The man's voice carried a hint of sarcasm.

Nicole nodded:
"Excuse me... Could you tell me what's going on here? Why am I here?"

The man's legs were broken, and he was sitting in a wheelchair. His lower body was covered in urine stains, and the stench was coming from his body.

As a disabled person, his loathing for the world is unimaginable.

There were people who were willing to take care of him, but that person was replaced.

In response to Nicole's request, the man briefly explained the situation in the City of Balance.

Nicole's expression quickly changed.

She was horrified by the city's rules. How twisted must this city be?
She wanted to leave, but a guide appeared in her sight—

"Please play the role of a good man's wife, or you will be replaced."

The stench, the filth, and the unfamiliarity made it impossible for her to accept that she was this man's wife.

Men are no exception:
"No one will love someone like me. Ha, get out! Get out!"

He was making fun of himself a moment ago, but the next second he suddenly flew into a rage and yelled at Nicole.

But because he had no legs, his anger seemed extremely... ridiculous.

"Get out! You're not welcome here! I don't want a wife like that!"

In fact, men also have guidance, and their guidance is "Please treat your wife gently."

After several rounds of replacements, he has come to realize one fact: no one in this world will love him.

His beloved had already entered the underworld.

He shouldn't still be alive, shouldn't linger in this world. Perhaps it's better for him to leave than to wait for the next person to look at him with the same disgust.

Then he started cursing. He unleashed all sorts of vulgarities at Nicole.

At first, Nicole felt a little uncomfortable, but as the instructions appeared, Nicole suddenly understood.

"Your husband has been found to be seriously unqualified. Would you like to replace him?"

At that moment, Nicole rejected the idea.

She suddenly started singing. Her singing wasn't particularly beautiful, but it had a calming power about it.

A man's rage is often a disguise for his kind heart.

Gradually, his anger subsided. A look of confusion appeared in his eyes:
"Why? Why... am I still here?"

Nicole forced a smile despite the stench:
"I don't know how long I'll be here, but please take good care of me during this time."

As she spoke, she began to move closer to the man, trying to play the role of a wife and clean the filth off his wheelchair.

The man was shocked:

"No...don't come near me! Don't come near me!"

He was so filthy that even he himself despised him.

In the past, it was others who couldn't stand the stench and didn't play the role of wife.

But when someone actually approaches him and tries to help him, his inferiority complex makes him start to feel terrified.

"Replace me! Please, replace me! Don't come near me!"

Human dignity can be ridiculous at times; some people would rather die than expose their dirty and vulnerable side.

Nicole suddenly burst into tears:

"I'm sorry... I can't replace you. I come from the cursed land, and my family members were all taken away by the curse!"

The man was stunned:

"You...are from outside?"

Nicole nodded:
“I am a useless person. Along the way, others have been taking care of me. I have become separated from my group.”

"I'm sorry, I can't possibly fall in love with you, and I can't possibly be a good wife to you..."

"But I absolutely do not want to replace you, or... just walk away and be replaced by the rules."

The man initially didn't understand, but gradually, considering that the other person came from outside, he began to understand:
"Because we have all experienced curses."

Nicole nodded:

"Yes, we have all experienced curses and know the helplessness that comes when a curse takes away a loved one."

The man remained silent. Those who have truly experienced the apocalypse would not easily abandon their former comrades who had survived.

He can understand that feeling.

Nicole continued:

"I'm the most useless member of our team; all I can do is sing. I don't know what I can do to help my commander..."

"But he wouldn't abandon someone as useless as me, and I couldn't let his efforts go to waste."

"So, we all have to live well. I don't know why you lost your legs..."

"But in this apocalypse, we are all people who live on the hopes of others."

At this moment, the man and Nicole were no longer complete strangers. Having both experienced the apocalypse and the curse of the past, they had something in common.

……

……

The City of Balance, the school.

Enzo was the only one who knew the whole story without the help of outsiders.

He can draw a little boy in a light blue suit to ask and answer questions.

The weird thing is……

This time he clearly drew very carefully, while last time he clearly drew very carelessly—

But the last time the commander was there, the Scorpio he drew looked just like the real thing.

This time the lines and details are well done, but it looks fake, with very few words.

But eventually, Enzo learned what was going on.

"It turns out that the level mechanics caused me to get separated from them. And... I ended up in a pilot city that has been tamed by the Curse of the Balance."

Enzo's summary is spot on.

He could imagine that the people in this place must be very indifferent.

In the future, everyone will be able to calmly accept that the people around them can be swapped at any time...

When people no longer love specific individuals, but rather a label, then a new era can indeed be said to have arrived.

But Enzo hated cities like that.

At that very moment, Enzo, as an art teacher, decided to give his students a proper lesson.

When Enzo walked into the classroom and started the lesson, he knew that the Commander was probably already on his way to the position of "God".

A war is about to break out.

Enzo believed that the distorted rules would eventually disappear and that the commander would surely win.

So he didn't follow the normal course schedule today.

"The hatred I bear will be resolved by someone like the Commander, so today... please let me be myself for once."

Enzo loves to draw, and he really enjoys being an art teacher.

When he entered the classroom, every student looked at him with extremely indifferent eyes.

"Oh, they've changed teachers again."

"Oh well, that previous teacher was just an idiot who clocked in on time anyway."

"Welcome to... our classroom, which we don't know and which you don't know."

Actually, those words weren't spoken, but inexplicably, Enzo could fill in the blanks in his mind from the students' eyes.

Enzo said:

"The teenage years are the most beautiful time. Today's lesson is called 'Remembrance'."

Please don't become a teacher disliked by your students, or you'll be eliminated.

This was the guidance Enzo received.

Meanwhile, the guidance students received was: "Please don't be a student who gets criticized by teachers, or you'll be eliminated."

Without a doubt, in such a relationship, the best course of action for both students and teachers is to ignore each other.

In particular, no one knows if they might suddenly disappear and become someone else. So it's best to remain indifferent.

Calmly accept the label, rather than the specific soul.

The teacher came into the classroom and began to speak to himself, while the students sat obediently at their desks, lost in thought.

This is the best way to survive.

But Enzo had no intention of living.

He called on a student whose name was being called, and the student was dozing off.

Clearly, this student didn't want to live anymore.

But there is a difference between not wanting to live and not wanting to live.

Enzo knew that his loved ones would never come back. After the commander avenged him, he had no more attachments.

The child's absolute indifference made him realize that the child was disillusioned with life.

"Don't be nervous. I won't test you on any specific points or knowledge. Next, the teacher will ask you a question that you can definitely answer."

Enzo said to the child with a smile.

The child shrugged indifferently.

"It doesn't matter, I don't care."

Enzo said:

"Then I'll perform a magic trick for everyone."

As he spoke, he quickly drew a face on the paper with his paintbrush.

Thanks to the artist's skill, the face became realistic and even began to speak.

“Enzo…you’re drawing me again, my poor Enzo.”

Love appeared in Enzo's eyes:

"Yes, I'm drawing you again. You know I can't forget you."

Without a doubt, this is Enzo's wife, Enzo said:
"You see, I can make those who have left our lives appear briefly."

"Everyone, in your teens, the age when you can love someone the most and easily make a lifelong promise... you must all have someone you miss, right?"

"Classmate, would you like to see him again?"

The child was stunned.

At that moment, all the students were captivated by Enzo's magical abilities.

They should stop loving, stop showing their emotions, learn to be indifferent, learn to be good at acting, and learn to suppress themselves.

But once upon a time, these people who survived the apocalypse were also full of emotions.

“Describe what they look like to me, and I will draw them. Then… shall we say a proper goodbye to them?”

Enzo's words resonated deep within the hearts of every child.

The child whose name was mentioned did not initially hate living.

After arriving in this city, he once loved life and tried to accept his fate.

New parents, new friends, new teachers...

It's okay. Although everything that once existed died in the apocalypse, life always has to turn the pages of heavy history.

He mustered his courage to accept it all, but he continued to lose.

The parents I had finally come to accept suddenly became strangers.

After finally going from strangers to close friends again, they watched them disappear once more.

I once made a pinky promise with my deskmate, vowing to grow up together and change the world together.

But suddenly, the person who made the vow to you has quietly become someone else.

Countless cries of grief, countless heart-wrenching screams, and finally, under these distorted rules, they began to grow indifferent and numb, and developed a loathing for this world.

Enzo knew all this too well because he had lost it.

So at this moment, he also knew how to treat the symptoms.

"Is there not a single classmate who remembers what people from the past look like? Is there not a single person in your lives who is worth remembering?"

"Could it be that among all the people who left you in the past, there wasn't a single one who was worth living for?"

This mocking remark finally ignited the passion within the child.

He remembered that he had once loved his new parents and had made a promise to grow up together and change the world.

At that moment, he silently murmured those names, and tears finally welled up in his eyes again.

Suddenly, he didn't care about anything anymore. He picked up a paintbrush and drew that face on the blackboard.

At that moment, Enzo also showed a relieved smile, picked up a paintbrush, and quickly copied the drawing on the blackboard.

It was a girl's face:
"Xiao Hui... I'm sorry, I left without saying goodbye that day. I'm really sorry, I broke our promise. We agreed to grow up together, but I left first."

"I'm sorry! But please try your best to live, and tell me... what the future world will be like, okay?"

A girl's voice came from Enzo's drawing paper. The child, named Xiaohui, looked at the drawing paper with tears streaming down her face and nodded frantically.

"Teacher... I want to draw too, is that okay?" Finally, another student raised their hand.

Enzo said:

"of course."

He didn't want the classroom to be filled with crying, but at that moment, the classroom was filled with the sound of weeping.

In everyone's life, there should be at least one unforgettable person, one—

An irreplaceable person.

When these people bid farewell to the children in their paintings, the wounds that had long since scabbed over due to the distorted rules are torn open again, but the pain and hatred bring new life to the owners of the wounds.

After doing all this, Enzo never expected that he would not be replaced.

As a teacher, he awakened the children's buried loves and hates. Yet, he was not disliked by these children.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly and drew a cigarette.

"Commander, it's all up to you now."

……

……

It wasn't just Enzo; Nicole was redeeming others. In fact, this kind of thing was happening in every corner of this city called the City of Balance.

At this moment, they were like countless streams flowing into the sea, converging and gathering in Wen Xishu's mind.

Wen Xishu saw many scenes.

This world has many labels: wife, child, teacher, student...

But in this world, there is actually a label that everyone has been hoping for, but which has never appeared.

Perhaps it only dares to exist in the memories of young children.

hero.

At this moment, Wen Xishu finally understood why everyone in the tavern was called a tavern hero.

Because a hero is not someone who can turn the tide, nor someone with the power to destroy the world.

Rather, it is someone who can bring hope to others in desperate circumstances.

Elsa, Borg, Devon, Cavendish... they all play the role of heroes in this city.

Like Enzo and Nicole, they play different roles in different environments, bringing hope for survival and love to different people.

Feeling all of this, Wen Xishu felt a surge of power.

Humans, these tiny creatures, have not been truly assimilated in this twisted and deformed city.

They always held simple hopes.

With these hopes in mind, Wen Xishu, carrying a compass, continued his journey.

Finally, atop the Balance Building in the city center, beneath the enormous golden scales, he saw the source of the city's deformity.

The Tianping Building is the tallest building in the city, and getting into it is not easy.

Because there is tight security here. The reason it's so tight is that they are practically immortal; if someone is killed, they are immediately replaced.

Therefore, the defensive strength here is constant.

However, for Wen Xishu, these security measures were practically useless. Not to mention that he had a necklace that could gain his trust, he could easily break through the security by force alone.

Using the power of the Dragon's Shadow to stealthily navigate and guided by the compass, Wen Xishu finally reached the top of the Tianping Building.

I also saw "God" at the top of the building.

The god who holds the balance between life and death is the source of the curse of the scales.

The source of the curse was a young man, who appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, with hair as long as a woman's.

Wen Xishu had to admit that the "god" chosen by Libra was indeed very ethereal.

The man, dressed in a gray suit, stood atop the building, overlooking the city with a composed and relaxed demeanor.

He seemed completely unsurprised by Wen Xishu's arrival:
"Welcome to the highest point in this city. Do you like my city?"

Wen Xishu remained silent, sensing his opponent's strength.

In that instant, the man vanished.

He suddenly appeared behind Wen Xishu. So silently, Wen Xishu couldn't even see him clearly…

How exactly do men disappear?

“It has been a long time since anyone has come here, at least in the world of obsession.”

"But since you're here, you're a guest."

Very strong, at least very fast...

It is so fast that no matter what method you use, it is absolutely impossible to hit the opponent.

“Building such a city in the apocalypse is no easy task.”

“You see, here, no one ever needs to worry about losing anything. Wives always have husbands, children always have parents, and students always have teachers.”

“Every family is harmonious. Life and death are the same. People no longer fear death, nor do they look forward to new life.”

"Everyone lives a constant life, full of order and beauty."

"Challenger, do you really want to disrupt this world? Or do you really not choose to co-rule this world with me?"

Wen Xishu was slightly surprised:
"Do you know where I'm from?" The man nodded.
"Actually, I was created by the Heart of Division, and I am part of the Libra."

"I know a lot of things. For example, I know about the existence of the Three Towers, and I also know about the paths to godhood for the twelve constellations."

"I also know that there is more than one god in this world. Other gods are yet to be discovered."

“I also know that those who can come here are the bunker personnel who are exploring the tower of mystery.”

“You are the first person to arrive here. But that also means you are no match for me.”

Wen Xishu said:
“How come you see?”

The man said:

"That's how the Tower of Ghosts works; the difficulty of some levels doesn't match the level number."

"If I were on the 90th floor and you came before me, I would scrutinize you carefully and regard you as a threat."

"But this is the fiftieth floor."

“I can imagine what a genius you are, to be able to climb to the fiftieth floor of the Tower of Ghosts in that bunker.”

"But you are no match for me. You made the most difficult choice, a choice you shouldn't have made. When the previous levels presented you with choices, you should have chosen the easiest one..."

The man turned around, his eyes full of composure.

Yes, Wen Xishu could sense that he was far from being a match for his opponent.

This is a super existence that surpasses the Red House.

The other side was also aware of the gap between them.

"In a world of obsessions, you can satisfy those people's obsessions... but you should know that it doesn't help reality at all, does it?"

"You won't even get an invitation."

Wen Xishu was stunned.

The other party even mentioned an invitation.

The man laughed:

“I said I am part of Libra, and I know a lot of things.”

Indeed, Wen Xishu then realized that he had achieved so many SSS-level ratings, even explored hidden levels, and become a hero carrying the hopes of many...

But I didn't receive an invitation.

"Does everything in the world of obsession change? In reality, I still exist, and even if you have an invitation and go to the Tower of Desire, can you kill me?"

“Someone once came to the Tower of Desire and saw me. They were very beautiful people… because they were so beautiful, I couldn’t bear to kill them.”

Senior Wenren Jing?
Wen Xishu immediately thought of Wenren Jing.

This final boss truly gave Wen Xishu an extremely terrifying feeling.

He's so insightful.

It felt as if I was facing Libra itself.

"Of course, defeating me will indeed bring generous rewards; this is a unique promotion ability of you bunker dwellers."

"Perhaps, with the rewards you get for defeating me, you might be able to pose a threat to me in the Three Towers War in the future..."

"But that's a long time from now, and you can't possibly beat me. You should understand the gap between us."

The man simply snapped his fingers.

Wen Xishu immediately saw many images. Enzo was smoking and watching the children cry and laugh.

Nicole hums a song as she washes her disabled husband's clothes.

Borg, Devon, Cavendish, Elsa... and even Nini's images floated in the air.

“I will kill you just as I would kill them.”

The man uttered those words lightly, and then—Nicole's husband, the man who had lost both legs, suddenly vanished.

Nicole stood frozen in place, completely bewildered. Soon, a strange, able-bodied man with a handsome face appeared.

"Look, I saved your partner, and she no longer has to live with this burden."

"This is the will of the scales! I know what choice you made, but it's not too late."

The man clearly understood what it meant for someone to be able to climb to the fiftieth floor of the Tower of Ghosts.

Therefore, he had a high opinion of Wen Xishu and wanted to win him over.

Wen Xishu ignored the man's words and simply watched the images floating in the air, looking at Nicole.

This girl, who could only sing, was not happy that her husband had become handsome and healthy.

She was crying.

Her tears fell to the ground without disturbing a speck of dust, but those tears, like fists, pounded into Wen Xishu's heart.

"Don't be sad for your friend. She has become a resident of the City of Balance, and she will be grateful for it."

"Once she accepts her new husband and her new life, she will be grateful for the will of the scales, finally free from caring for a disabled person and enduring that stench. Won't she?"

The man snapped his fingers again.

this moment……

Enzo's cigarette fell to the ground. It wasn't that Enzo died, but that all the children... had been replaced.

There were no tears or laughter, only a deafening silence.

When all the students reminiscing about the past became the past, Enzo's expression was as if frozen in a painting.

Enzo's eyes became emptier than ever before.

He can awaken the love and hatred in the hearts of a hundred people, but so what?

As long as the distorted rules remain, all children filled with love and passion... can be replaced in an instant.

He suddenly realized... he had made a mistake.

Perhaps if he hadn't awakened in these children the love they felt for those they had lost in the past, they wouldn't have died.

Enzo was consumed by immense guilt, which completely extinguished the light in his eyes.

“These chattering students are so disrespectful to their teachers. Now, I’ve replaced them with a group of the most obedient students.”

The man wore a disdainful smile.
"So, do you want to join me? After all, replacing them is as easy for me as replacing you."

The man pointed at the evening tree.

At that moment, Wen Xishu had a feeling that he was being pointed at by an archer's arrow.

The archer's arrow is absolute destruction, the ultimate in numerical power.

At this moment, the man's hand represents the ultimate rule and the embodiment of authority.

They are equally deadly.

Even if what I'm facing isn't a true Libra, it's definitely an existence comparable to "God".

"Killing...is it that interesting to you?" Wen Xishu asked softly.

The man shook his head:

“I did not kill anyone. I am an extension of the will of the scales. I am the scales.”

"I don't kill people, I just replaced the inferior products in this world."

"Can't you see? That girl has a more perfect husband, and your artist partner has a more obedient student."

"The population of this city has never changed, so death will never come!"

"This city will always have the same number of fathers, the same number of children, the same number of teachers, and the same number of couples!"

"This is an eternal city, a masterpiece of God!"

Wen Xishu raised his hand; he had actually been gathering his strength, preparing for his ultimate technique.

"But who will fill the void left by those lost feelings and emotional scars?"

"In your eyes, all life is the same, but you have never seen that each person's soul is different."

Wen Xishu's fist was gathering power.

These powers seemed so weak and laughable to the man:
"The question you asked is truly laughable. It's all because you're short-sighted; those things are simply human flaws."

"Never mind, only Libra can truly understand me."

"Once one or two of the other constellations die, Libra's authority will increase, and then..."

"The brilliance of the scales will cover the entire world!"

Wen Xishu said coldly:

"A world like that is better off without."

The man, symbolizing the will of the scales, mocked:

"It's my problem. I thought that people who could climb up here would be somewhat different."

"Forget it, I shouldn't have had any expectations of you."

"So, are you ready to be replaced?"

The threat of death is imminent.

Wen Xishu knew that this duel would not be like Albert's match against the shooter, with several rounds of offense and defense alternation.

This battle against the will of the scales will be decided in an instant.

Either he is erased by the will of the scales, and Wenxi Tree disappears forever... replaced by a stranger whom no one knows.

Either...

With his own fists, he destroyed this arrogant new god of balance.

The wind howled as Wen Xishu concentrated all his power into his fist.

At the same time, the embodiment of the will of the scales also radiated golden light.

The man's long hair danced in the golden light, making him appear as if a true god had descended.

His gaze merely lingered on Wen Xishu, and the next second...

The Wenxi Tree has disappeared.

In the city of balance, the sun still shines brightly, and everything seems as if nothing has happened.

"What a pity, in all these years, only this one person has been able to come to this level of the world of obsessions."

The golden light emanating from the man had not dissipated, but his eyes were filled with desolation.

Yes, the battle is over.

No matter what kind of punch it is, it will never land on you.

The bunker challenger named Wen Xishu has now been replaced by an unknown entity.

Just as the man turned around to leave, a huge energy fluctuation suddenly appeared behind him.

"Our battle is not over yet."

A familiar voice appeared.

The man suddenly turned around.

Damn it, it's him again?
He looked at Wen Xishu in disbelief.

Yes, it's still Wenxi Tree.

Wenxi Tree, who should have been erased by the will of the balance and replaced with a completely new life... was not replaced.

Not only was he not replaced, but Wen Xishu's power seemed to have increased.

Speed ​​and power have both been greatly improved.

"This is impossible!"

Seeing the punch, even more powerful and forceful, coming towards him, the man felt panic for the first time.

The expression of a god, once flawless, is no longer perfect.

A brilliant golden light emanated from him, and the phantom of a golden scale appeared behind him.

The absolute balance of power completely engulfed Wenxi Tree at this moment.

Wenxi Tree...

It disappeared again.

After everything calmed down, the man's breathing inexplicably became rapid.

"He should be... dead, right?"

Throughout history, no matter how powerful an existence may be, it will instantly crumble and be replaced by new life once it is enveloped by the will of the balance.

This is the power of authority and overwhelming combat power; they are two different forces, but they create the same destructive and domineering power.

Just now, Wen Xishu's reappearance made the man with the will of balance lose his confidence.

……

……

Everything in my field of vision began to blur.

The world in Wen Xishu's eyes was collapsing, and his vitality rapidly returned to zero in a very short time.

This is absolute will, and before this will... he seems as insignificant as dust.

What a formidable enemy this is.

The true, fully-fledged Demon King was so powerful that Wen Xishu couldn't even last a single round.

His ultimate technique requires time, and the original plan was for Enzo and Colonel Devon to delay it.

But now, things have changed, and he must go alone to defeat the source of the curse.

This time, however, Wen Xishu underestimated the strength of his opponent.

Even if they were accumulating strength from the beginning, even if the opponent initially showed appreciation and bought them a lot of time...

But the ultimate secret is still too slow.

When the other person's gaze fell upon him... Wen Xishu truly felt the breath of death.

His entire body seemed to turn into dust, and in that instant... it was replaced and reassembled.

Everything is over, all is finished.

The hero who challenged the curse was instantly killed.

This enormous power disparity didn't even give people time to despair before everything was settled.

Just when Wen Xishu thought he had paid a heavy price and been instantly killed by absolute authority...

A more powerful and absolute authority takes effect.

[The incoherent actions have removed the negative effects from you and given you a buff.]

[Remaining uses of the "Disorderly" effect: 1.]

Wen Xishu was startled; his previously blurry vision instantly became clear.

A surge of power emerged, and the shattered body was reshaped.

He is still himself, he has not become someone else, and his power is even greater.

In that instant, he also realized that the powerful ultimate technique could be released even faster!

Instead of being instantly defeated by the balance of power, it even became stronger, which made its opponent realize something was wrong, and thus the giant golden balance of power appeared...

An even more absolute will once again devoured the Wenxi Tree.

At this moment, Wen Xishu was once again swallowed up by the endless will of the balance.

His body was disintegrated again, becoming fragmented.

The next moment, he vanished again, as if he didn't exist in this world.

But in another space, the familiar and reassuring prompt appeared again.

[The incoherent actions have removed the negative effects from you and given you a buff.]

[The remaining uses of the "Disorderly" effect are zero.]

The power of the inverted dice has once again triumphed over the power of the scales!
Wen Xishu's body appeared in an even more powerful form!
The embodiment of the balance of power was as if it had seen a ghost at this moment.

For the first time, he began to doubt his own divine power.

"Impossible... How could we fail again?! How are you still alive?!"

The man looked at Wen Xishu with an incredulous, ghost-like gaze.

He had never felt so panicked before.

Wen Xishu was also very flustered, because she had used up all her chances of repeating herself.

But Wen Xishu knew one thing well: the two rebirths had already put immense psychological pressure on the other party.

Fear hindered the opponent's actions.

Especially at times like these, it's crucial not to show weakness.

"Come, let your scales make me stronger!"

This statement, after twice thwarting the power of the scales, was practically a death sentence, and extremely effective in making the man give up using the will of the scales.

Wen Xishu exerted all his strength, and with a punch that gathered all his power, he finally landed on his opponent's chest.

For a moment, the man was stunned, a look of astonishment on his face. Then, the astonishment vanished, replaced by surprise, and then by contempt.

"Huh? Ha... Hahahaha, hahahahaha! This is your full-force attack? This is your full-force attack?"

"Weak humans! Weak bunker dwellers!"

The embodiment of the balance of power was initially gripped by fear, for he discovered that the other party possessed a power that could restrain his authority.

He dared not use the will of the scales again, fearing it would only make the other side stronger.

But as Wen Xishu's punch landed, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed, because even without authority, as a fully-fledged Demon King...

In terms of combat strength, he also overwhelms Wen Xishu.

He didn't need to use the power of the scales to kill his opponent; against such a weak bunker dweller... he only needed brute force.

Click.

The embodiment of the scales instantly broke Wen Xishu's arm.

Despite the intense pain, Wen Xishu didn't show any sign of suffering; instead, he smiled strangely.

"Who told you my punches are killer moves?"

Deliberately using force to build up momentum is simply a cover-up.

The fist doesn't matter; what matters is... the die, adorned with the archer's symbol and worn on the finger, has struck the enemy.

The embodiment of the scales looked puzzled at that moment. He didn't know what it meant, but the next instant, he seemed to realize something.

A huge vortex suddenly appeared in the sky.

A man dressed in blue armor and carrying a sapphire blue crossbow appeared from the depths of the vortex.

The orange item, Starfall, begins to unleash its power.

The immense force tore the sky apart.

At that moment, countless people throughout the city witnessed this scene—

Beneath the swirling, fractured sky, the golden scales that govern life and death began to crumble and shatter.

People don't know what this means, but at this moment, countless people still harbor love deep in their hearts, still have hope for life, and still miss those from the past...

They all clenched their fists simultaneously, thinking of a certain possibility and desperately hoping that possibility would become a reality!
The immense obsession also gave the archer in the sky an unprecedented sense of harmony and clarity.

His arrows had never been so eager to be shot.

This is an arrow falling from the sky to the ground, and because of countless souls, it has become heavy and unstoppable.

"I don't care if you're still alive in the Tower of Desire, all I want now is for you to die!"

"Take your ambition and power and go to hell!"

Wen Xishu's expression turned ferocious.

As the words fell, an absolute, god-slaying arrow, capable of annihilating all life, shot forth...

It descended like divine punishment!

The entire Tianping Building collapsed in that instant...

The avatar of the scales, possessing infinite regenerative power, was astonished to discover... that this was an arrow containing destiny and destruction, and in this world, only one person could shoot such an arrow.

He couldn't believe it; his rebirth, his Brahma mark, had all been destroyed by that one arrow!
His figure decayed under the absolute power of annihilation.

An arrow capable of killing a constellation can naturally kill him as well.

A massive black beam of light descended from the sky, creating a huge crater in the city center.

The god who controlled life and death, along with the immortal scales... were utterly destroyed.
