Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 709 The Lighthouse and Gray Flames

The water world began to crumble, and the area where they were currently located also began to collapse.

"We need to go back to the subway," Shiraishi said quickly upon seeing this.

However, just as he finished speaking, "Lin Yilin" suddenly looked in one direction, and at the same time, Fan Zhonghong sent a message: "Because of the Water World falling off, the Zero Metro, which has been accelerating, is about to...!"

boom!
Suddenly, a white light enveloped them, and "Lin Yilin" summoned a group of black earthworms as a buffer. Then, they seemed to crash into a piece of glass.

The touch was somewhat cold and stiff, and although the collision occurred at a very high speed, it did not cause any pain.

Bang! Crash!

The sound of shattering glass rang out, and the remnants of the water world that had been supporting them completely collapsed, causing them to fall to the ground from mid-air.

Following the momentum, Bai Shi, Xu Leyang, and Niu Qianliu rolled a few times on the ground, but were unharmed. "Lin Yilin" descended from the sky, landing lightly without a trace of disarray.

Right beside them, the Zero subway train passed by, but its speed had slowed down until it came to a complete stop. It had deviated from its previous timeline; to be precise, the timeline had reached its end.

They are on a platform.

As Lin Yilin turned her head, a gust of wind swept by, causing the surrounding grass blades to brush against her hair, which was being tossed about.

Apart from a train station, this world consisted of only a vast, boundless grassland. It was a wondrous world that seemed to exist only in a dream.

It seems to hold many things, yet it also seems to contain nothing at all.

The ethereal quality and tangible feedback created a sense of absurdity for "Lin Yilin" in this situation. Beyond that, however, there was a familiar feeling of security.

He now believes that he has been in this place for a long time without even realizing it.

"What about Shangxia?" Lin Yilin asked.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fan also sensed something: "I can't find the exact location, but I'm sure I'm not dead. I should be in the car."

"This is Mr. Illusion's cradle in this world, his first stop in this life." Lin Yilin didn't pay much attention and turned her attention back to what was in front of her.

"It feels like a dream," Zheng Fan said.

"Where in this place are the fragments of order that came with Mr. Zheng Fan?" Lin Yilin asked.

Then Zheng Fan raised his head: "Of course..." He pointed a finger to the sky.

"sun."

Boom!
A deafening explosion erupted in the air, and three colors burst forth in a chaotic battle: gold, gray, and white. Judging from the situation, it seemed that gold was supporting white in their fight against gray.

"Why is that guy still here?" Zheng Fan narrowed his eyes when he saw Mr. Undying King.

"It must also have its own ideas about the fragments of order."

"Can't even the two of them combined take down Jian Banxian?" Zheng Fan looked at the solid gray branches, where a dense black aura was visible at the core of the gray branches.

So that's how it is; there's black support behind the gray.

It is a confrontation between four entities on both sides.

The battle was intense from the start, and it seemed they had been fighting for a long time, battling at the front of the train ever since they boarded. No wonder Eliadodike could only speed up the train and couldn't spare the energy to kick the Water World out.

"The properties of that gray branch are quite peculiar." Lin Yilin thought of the small gray branch that they were still growing in the pot.

Even if Jian Banxian is a naturally born gray branch, the power he possesses must be extraordinary.

……

Another fierce clash of forces ensued, but in this place, their forces seemed unable to cause too much physical damage, except for the clash between them.

The Undead King's golden armor was heavily worn and even cracked, and Eliadodike's hair was disheveled, with his white tuxedo-like attire showing multiple tears.

But Jian Banxian showed no signs of weakness. This gray figure was also unfathomable to it.

The best course of action right now is to take a portion of the power of order and leave. The Undying King originally planned to take a piece of the capital and leave, and now that he has come to this place of origin, it is much more convenient.

However, if it withdraws now, Eliadodike will be left to fend for itself, and it is uncertain whether Jian Banxian will take any actions that threaten it after obtaining the remaining Order forces.

"The final destination has been reached. Aren't you going to unleash your full power?" it said to Eliadodike.

Eliadodike glanced at the subway train parked at the terminal station in the distance.

Up until now, Eliadodike has been fighting with less than half of his peak strength, because the vast majority of his power has been spent on developing Metro Zero and opening the spacetime track for Metro Zero.

Originally, he still didn't want to take back this power, preferring to save it for when he obtained the power of order and used it to escape the multiple worlds with the train.

In his current state, he is certainly no match for Master Jian.

The Jian Banxian before them, apart from its humanoid outline, had completely transformed into a mass of gray branches. The paper strips on its body writhed and twisted in a nauseating manner, and a black aura seeped out from the gaps in the branches.

Perhaps when starting the Zero Subway, I shouldn't have paid any attention to Jian Banxian and just focused on my own business. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in this predicament where I almost lost to this guy...

That is impossible.

Eliadodike does not accept the existence of Jian Banxian. Is the awakening of the gray world beginning? Will gray unite with black? From its existence to its actions, Jian Banxian is constantly stepping on Eliadodike's landmines.

Even if it jeopardizes his plans, he is determined to kill Jian Banxian!

As Eliadodic raised his lantern, the front of the Zero subway car shuddered violently, and a massive light source emerged from it. It was a light source far larger and more intense than any light source Zheng Fan had ever known, and it was far inferior even to the primordial lighthouse, Stratos.

The light source instantly returned to Eliadodice's lantern.

His attire had not been restored, but the fern-like lines on his face became more numerous and pronounced, his eyes were filled with white light, and a halo formed behind his head like a lighthouse radiating majestic brilliance in all directions.

Complete form, Eliadodike!

The true master of the white world!
Even though most people don't really accept Eliadodike, becoming the ruler of the world doesn't require world recognition. That might make things easier, but Eliadodike has always stayed on his own path, firmly holding onto the power of white, and it will not be taken away by anyone.

He didn't want a white world; he just wanted "Dadu"!
The white world wouldn't accept him, so he led his people, mostly to the chaotic void, to find another world of order and establish their own home.

"Master Jian, Eliadodic has finally shown its true fangs. Can you handle it?" On the side of Master Jian's lumpy body, a piece of paper suddenly unfolded, revealing a blurry face burning with black flames, grinning as it asked Master Jian.

“I might not be able to fight back, but aren’t you still here with me? ‘Ran’, with my body as firewood, how far can you take us?” Jian Banxian responded with a teasing voice.

"Hahaha! Interesting. You're really willing to go to any lengths to make your gray world truly merge into the black world like ours!" The black advocate known as "Burning" laughed.

“Of course…” Jian Banxian’s smile faded slightly, and his voice deepened: “Because what taught me these things is the white world before my eyes, and Dadu.”

raging!

Starting from that blurry face, black flames spread rapidly, engulfing half of Jian Banxian's body, but did not ignite further.

Amidst the bursts of black sparks, "Burning" said, "Immortal Jian, it's such a pity you're going to die here like this. Let's synchronize."

"I am truly honored by your kindness!" Jian Banxian's body trembled. On one side, real black flames burned, while on the other side, black flame patterns climbed and spread endlessly on the paper strip.

An unexpected product of black and white, a synchronous fusion of gray branches and the black world's representative! It can be described as ascending to heaven by stepping on the right foot with the left.

Jian Banxian's power was not to be outdone and continued to rise.

The undying beacon and the gray flame branches confront each other, bringing the atmosphere to its peak!
The Undying King took a deep breath, preparing to exhaust all his spiritual energy reserves...

Snapped!
A burst of applause broke the tense atmosphere.

Between the two, "Lin Yilin" appeared at some unknown time.

"Pause time, count me in?"
