Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 314 Twilight and the Midnight Sun

It was as if he had entered a separate space, where the concept of time became blurred and distorted. By the time Mu Xiang leaped out of the dark pot, the rain of flowers had already passed.

However, what reached their ears was Zheng Zha's shocked and angry voice.

Mu Xiang turned his head and saw Zheng Zha reaching out to grab the two heads on his shoulders.

The two heads, previously formed of crimson flames, have now turned emerald green. The two faces, which should have been filled with murderous intent, are now filled with a frenzied desire... a desire for knowledge of everything.

As Zheng Zha lifted the wall of fire and passed through the rain of flowers, he sensed the profound aura above the starry sky and below the deep sea... something he had almost sensed earlier.

Just then, the emerald rain of flowers, which was annihilating the wall of fire, suddenly seemed to lose its form and passed straight through the wall of fire, staining his body.

Zheng Zha felt as if his entire body no longer belonged to him, as if thousands of consciousnesses were awakening within him, all with the same goal: to rush toward the mystery revealed by the Jade Supreme!
It was an extremely strange feeling; the phrase "my whole body itches when my thirst for knowledge is ignited" became a reality at that moment.

If things continue like this, even if Zheng Zha's bodies don't go their separate ways and fly away independently, his body will no longer belong to him!

Zheng Zha roared in shock and rage. A threat more terrifying than death caused the crimson flames to surge violently with his mind. In the next moment, the flames around him pressed into his body, transforming into inky black flames along with his flesh. The black flames, touching his soul, surged wildly, attempting to expel all consciousness that did not belong to Zheng Zha.

The torrents of consciousness were not to be outdone, converging under the expulsion of the black flames. The two heads, originally merely mimicked by red flames, now coalesced into consciousness independent of Zheng Zha, with green light surging from their cores... and then, without hesitation, they opened their mouths and bit at Zheng Zha's neck.

Mu Xiang's heart skipped a beat when he saw this scene... It was simply shocking that such an aberrant thing happened to Zheng Zha, who was even more powerful than an ordinary demigod.

In an instant, Jiyue cleaved out two long, moonlit streaks, tearing through space and heading straight for Zheng Zha's shoulder.

Two marks flashed across the surface, and with a forceful pull of his hands, the two emerald-green heads detached. Blood-red flames erupted from where the two heads had been, then slowly coalesced into new heads, completing the three-headed, six-armed battle form.

Zheng Zha roared and flung the two emerald-colored heads away.

The two heads loudly praised:

"Supreme Emerald, Teacher of the North Day, we praise your enlightenment; Lord of the Deep Sea and Stars, we praise your revelation!"

Until they landed, the two emerald-green heads were still baring their fangs at Zheng Zha.

"What the hell is this? What kind of holy thing is this?!" Zheng Zha was also frightened by the scene. He glanced at the flower rain at his feet and shouted to Mu Xiang.

Are you really just a saint...?

Mu Xiang frowned as he looked at the Emerald Supreme not far away. Although he was still only two meters tall, in this all-encompassing artistic conception, he seemed to be so tall that he could reach out and touch the starry sky and the deep sea.

Putting aside the divine and sophisticated artistic conception, the mutation that just happened to Zheng Zha made Mu Xiang think of a hidden existence.

The Emerald Supreme heard Zheng Zha's surprise and saw Mu Xiang's astonishment, but he only smiled. The next moment, the face on the back of his head overlapped with the face in front, and two pairs of eyes looked at Zheng Zha, revealing a cold smile: "As expected of a vampire prince enhanced with a fourth-order gene lock... your essence is already much higher than the demigods under my command."

"Then, the information we get from you should be able to give rise to more and stronger life forms."

Two pairs of eyes suddenly shone brightly, so bright that Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha could not look directly at them. When the light faded, the face, full of compassion and divinity, was now covered with countless overlapping eyes. "Foolishness is as long as the night, and mayflies chase after the faint light."

“The supreme person imparts supreme wisdom.”

"Gather your faint light, and that will be the midnight sun."

At that moment, countless arms around his body simultaneously came together in front of his chest. The numerous twisted gestures made Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha feel dizzy; but knowing they couldn't be fooled, they immediately bit their tongues to force themselves to stay awake.

However, this move was not directed at them... Power from the deep sea and starry sky descended into the hands of this clone, who was then bestowed with two emerald heads.

The two heads of Zheng Zha began to tremble, and hundreds of different faces appeared on them. They had only one thing in common: in their overlapping eyes, there was a devout, frenzied, and even morbid thirst for knowledge.

The next moment, the two emerald heads exploded, turning into a pile of emerald fragments. The fragments rolled into the rain of flowers, absorbing the emerald datura petals scattered on the ground, and their size continued to grow.

In just a few breaths, these jade fragments transformed into one greenish-blue human body after another.

The Jade Supreme Master picked up a mandala flower and, with a breath, the colors on the bodies condensed, leaving only pale skin; the green became increasingly refined, transforming from the outside in into clusters of green light. Under the influence of the divine breath, these clusters of light flowed upwards, entering the skull and transforming it into an octopus-like shape.

After the creation was completed, the Jade Supreme One lifted strips of white silk with each of his hands and swept them over the heads of the creations. Looking at the creations standing still, one could see that after the silk had been swept over them, they appeared to be wearing identical white robes. Only then did they seem to possess true consciousness, and they bowed their heads before the jade-colored statue.

"They can also say they came from you... Once you submit to my tutelage, you will be their leader." The Jade Supreme Master chuckled at Zheng Zha, then waved his hand, and a green light flashed like a bolt of lightning.

The next moment, these newly born polar day creatures vanished without a trace.

"I wonder if your companions will resent you when they are burned to ashes by the emerald flames?"

Zheng Zha turned to look at Mu Xiang: "They were teleported to..."

"It's just a bluff. His teleportation proves at least two things: that Zhang Jie and his men are still alive—which is not surprising. To speculate further, they may have even finished off those monsters, and since we've wiped out almost all the regular troops, they can only attack them in this way."

Mu Xiang adjusted his glasses and continued, "Another fact is that this spirit avatar is subject to greater restrictions than we thought... It can directly open interdimensional portals, but it doesn't go there itself. If it's not just nonsense like disdain, it means it can't move like that on its own."

"To put it another way, the clone can contact the main body, but the main body cannot summon the clone at will, and can only choose this method which has many limitations... His main body may be in a state of being trapped."

"Am I right?" Mu Xiang raised the Jiyue sword, pointing it at the Emerald Supreme's face, which was filled with eyes. "The battles on both sides should be over."

"Heh..." The Emerald Supreme's voice remained unchanged, but Mu Xiang detected a hint of disdain in it. "I have already demonstrated my powers to you... Even so, are you still going to remain stubborn to the end?"

Mu Xiang chuckled: "That's hardly sincere. You're trying to persuade us with just a clone? If your true form could descend, we might consider it... Why don't you give it a try? Is it that you don't want to, or that you can't?"

Once the Lord of the Deep Sea and the Emerald Mandala appear, you should be able to tell who this saint is based on, right? However, he is not from the same system as the "Terrifying Black Hole" in my setting; he has a different origin, which will be mentioned later when we fight the main body.
