Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 696 Eternal Conflict
"Subway Zero!? How did he manage to pull out Subway Zero?" exclaimed those at the scene.

"Because this Zero Subway was originally rebuilt and controlled by him, it's just time for it to be officially put into use." A very small number of people in the Pure White Society who knew the truth were now under control and said calmly.

The power of the white world does indeed have certain limitations. In this respect, the various unusual characteristics possessed by the illusions from the black world, while bringing potential dangers, also carry many breakthroughs that are difficult to achieve by the white world alone.

"He actually summoned Subway Zero again?"

"I heard that Metro Line 0 is already heading towards the end of Dadu's history. What is he trying to do by bringing Metro Line 0 back out now?"

"I don't know... Perhaps, it's like the plan he mentioned before. He never told us about his plan, and we don't know anything more about it." The scholar shook his head bitterly.

……

Eliadodic glanced at the White Night Lighthouse, which was now entwined with gray branches and emitting a gray light, and flicked his hand to send a beam of light toward it.

The lighthouse's beams suddenly became even brighter, even negating Eliadodic's attack.

It seems we can't just get rid of him easily.

Having confirmed that the other party had completely let go, Eliadodike decided not to pay any more attention to them.

This is something that was originally going to be discarded anyway; if he wants the so-called gray area, he can just give it to him.

The Zero subway line weaves through the aurora borealis, increasing its speed with each streak of white light it passes. After circling several times in the air, it appears from the outside as a rapidly moving white line darting through the sky.

The Zero subway circled around Eliadodike like its satellite, and the patterns on Eliadodike's body began to glow, as if it were brewing something.

"accelerate……"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and fired a beam of light, intercepting and destroying the approaching fingertip nuclear bomb from a distance.

Feeling the surging heat and shockwaves brought by the nuclear explosion, Eliadodike stared at the thick fog and dust before him.

"This feeling is..." He had a strange feeling, he could sense that there was something dangerous nearby, but it was as if he had blocked it out and could not confirm it.

Although even the relevant memories are not clear after being blocked, Eliadodike is certain that if he is forced to block out the relevant knowledge at the first moment, it must be extremely terrifying and troublesome.

In that brief moment of his contemplation, a figure emerged from the nuclear explosion.

The golden armor seemed to be burning fiercely in the surrounding firelight, and the scarlet eyes carefully examined Eliadodic before him.

“You are one of the three world lords who broke in,” Eliadodike said.

The Undying King did not answer, his attention still focused on the examination.

After a long pause, it slowly spoke: "Your current state cannot be considered complete. Although you are still powerful, you are not perfect. Did you sacrifice this aspect for these things?"

Its gaze swept toward Metro Line 0.

“My strength is more than enough for most of the capital, and it wouldn’t hurt to share some if necessary,” Eliadodike said dismissively.

"I see. I have long admired your reputation as an undying beacon, and one of the reasons for my visit was to meet you. Now it seems that you do have something to offer."

"I do not need the approval of an external world ruler."

Eliadodic raised his lantern: "If you want to fight, just come over here."

"Combat power is not linked to eternity, but in the pursuit of eternity, changes in life forms will inevitably lead to an increase in combat power. This is indeed a subtle way of testing."

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible wave suddenly erupted around the Undead King, and Eliadodike's pupils shrank as he focused his mind.

A dull gold and a dazzling white suddenly appear between the two and erupt into a fierce collision.

The resulting storm swept across the sky above the capital. The Immortal King's cloak billowed and rustled behind him, while Eliadodike's clothes trembled violently with the powerful shockwave.

Their eyes met.

Eliadodike lightly tapped his brow with his finger: "This is... a soul? If I hadn't reacted quickly, you would have already succeeded in extracting my soul. But normally, the concept of a soul is abstract. I see, the concept you possess is to materialize this abstract concept within existence."

There is no soul in the strict sense. The mixture of spirit, thought, consciousness, will, mind, etc. can be considered a soul, but it is different.

The existence of spiritual energy in the "world of corpses" does not mean that other worlds also possess such power. After all, the world of corpses is merely a distant and unconfirmed world, detached from the capital.

The reason why the Undying King can easily extract the so-called soul of a target with a single thought in the capital is the terrifying aspect of a third-stage world lord.

If there is no soul, then let's concretize this concept and create one for life.

The Undying King's eyes flickered: "Truly... resilient."

As the words were spoken, the sky above the capital was painted a dim golden hue, like dusk, but the sun was not visible, nor was it particularly dazzling.

Eliadodike took a deep breath: "[Radiance]".

He spread his arms out to his sides, forming a cross, and then radiated a dazzling cross-shaped light from this posture.

At that moment, he seemed to become a cross star hanging high in the sky, awe-inspiring.

The battle between the Immortal King and Eliado Dike has begun!
Meanwhile, at the central government headquarters, Bai Wucang's speech was not yet over. He not only had to advocate for the people in the gray districts, but also had to appease the people in the white districts above him.

At this critical juncture, all he can do is act like a mascot streamer, offering companionship.

To be honest, with the Lamplighters starting to stop one after another, and the Seeds of Light temporarily halting their annihilation of the Gray Streets (in addition to fighting the corpses and violent freaks), everyone was actually able to calm down and watch Bai Wucang's "live broadcast" during this lull.

It seems that things have finally stabilized somewhat.

Of course, we are still some distance from true stability.

Suddenly, the central government building was attacked.

Bai Wucang paused at the right moment, then continued the sentence without changing his expression, not letting the unexpected interruption disrupt his live connection with some of the children.

He knew that as long as he continued to do the right thing, someone would protect him.

This feeling is so much better than being just a political mascot. I can get things done, and I don't have to constantly worry about being killed the next day.

……

Ptolemy was stopped in the square outside the central government building.

She wanted to rush in, but she was stopped as soon as she entered.

After the Pure White Society was stripped of its power, it cut off all contact with the others. Even on the Lighthouse side, voices of doubt and rebellion arose. She had lost control of the situation, and the purge of the Gray was forced to stop.

This shouldn't be the case.

In that case, how can she support the Undying Lighthouse and become his most trusted assistant and disciple?

We must first deal with Bai Wucang, who is affecting the situation.

Originally considered an insignificant piece of trash, he was deliberately arranged to maximize his mascot-like role, even directly influencing the progress of the entire situation in Dadu.

There must be another mastermind behind this, meticulously planning every step. Ptolemy could easily see that, by now, an invisible spiderweb had been woven and intricately connected by someone.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to go see them right now.

The only way is to eliminate the opponent's arrangements one by one and try to destroy this network.

However, it turned out to be more complicated than that.

Jiang Si lightly stepped over the rubble and stood in front of Ptolemy.

“Murderer, don’t be ungrateful,” Ptolemy said coldly.

"To be honest, I'd rather go and talk to your boss, but the detective said you can't just ignore him. I originally thought of you as just a small fry." Jiang Si adjusted his military cap.

"Miss Detective?" The unyielding Ptolemy was still trying to gather as much information as possible.

"Anyway, I've already spent time making a serial killer my security guard, so I hope you won't bore me too much," Jiang Si said with a smile.
