People in the Alliance, Time Management Master

"That's enough, that's enough..."

"I'll help you one last time..."

"Knowing you was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life..."

"I just hope you won't let me down..."

Chapter 48 Void Mommy: You've Changed

"help me."

"Help you? Help you save this foolish human?"

"He is not stupid."

“He has awakened the Void itself, and his enemy has changed from the Void Watchers to the Void itself. Why should I help him?”

"I can offer you something in return."

"Heh... Viktor, you have nothing left now."

"I can tell you where my true form is."

"Ok?"

"That was the only Void Watcher body that was not corrupted or controlled."

"To help this human, you're willing to give up your chance to be reborn?"

"Given the current situation, if he dies, I won't survive either."

Are you trying to deceive yourself?

"All you need to do is answer me whether you're going to do this deal or not, Pierreville."

"Hehe... It's my honor, little sister Velz..."

........................

…………

"As expected of the will of the entire void... This energy has far exceeded my capacity to withstand... I can only act as a 'catalyst,' and the final outcome mainly depends on him..."

"I believe in you... just hang in there a little longer..."

"Why are you starting to imitate human ways too? Pretty words, huh..."

"Sometimes it works; we must acknowledge the merits of humanity..."

"Perhaps... In any case, I can't guarantee success..."

"We'll do our best, and our deal won't fall through because of this..."

"no problem……"

........................

…………

Has the erosion stopped?

"It seems to be..."

"Then the rest is up to this human... Whether he lives or dies is entirely up to him."

"Um……"

"Then I'll go retrieve your original body first."

"Please go ahead."

"By the way, Viktor."

"how?"

"You're becoming more and more like a human... I hope we'll meet again someday, and maybe then I'll return some of my power to you."

"..."

"I hope your newfound feelings won't be wasted. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Amidst the chaos, Mu Bai seemed to hear two familiar voices.

One is Vivian, and the other is... Pierre Vecchio.

What are they saying?

It's strange...like some incoherent babbling...

It hurts so much... My body is burning... My blood is boiling... My cells are screaming...

"Mu Bai... Mu Bai?"

A slight tremor came, and Mu Bai slowly opened his eyes.

Vivian's flawless face immediately came into view.

Her face was expressionless, but her eyes revealed deep worry.

"Good morning..." Mu Bai forced a weak smile despite the pain. "I'm glad you came to wake me up..."

"Did the void itself eat your brain?"

Vivian appeared displeased on the surface, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief—the fact that he could still joke proved that the fool in front of her was not seriously injured.

"How are you feeling now? Are you able to move around normally?"

"I'll try..." Mu Bai tried to sit up, reaching for the Seraph's Blade beside him.

no problem.

Let's try channeling magic again... Hmm? This strange energy is...

The energy of the void itself?

Can it be used...?

It can flow through the body for a week... so it should be usable...?

Mu Bai tried to temporarily replace the astral energy with void energy, and then covered the hundreds of wounds on his body with it.

The wound healed quickly.

Successful.

"It seems you've successfully mastered the energy of the void," Vivian said, half pleased and half impressed. "Truly, you're something else, able to 'eat' anything... Are you the reincarnation of the Gluttonous Beast?"

"It's all thanks to you," Mu Bai said with a smile.

"This has nothing to do with me."

“I heard it all—while I was ‘asleep’.”

"..."

On the other side of the world, outside Bandle City.

The endless attacks continued, with the dozen or so "Dead Void Watchers" relentlessly bombarding the runic barrier. Coupled with the harassment from countless void creatures, the human side was under immense pressure and suffering immensely.

Warriors died one after another, and the Chosen Ones fell one after another; the situation was extremely dangerous.

Kieran has mobilized all available fighting forces in an effort to defend this last sanctuary.

If even Bandle City falls, then humanity will be completely wiped out...

Even if Mu Bai succeeds in destroying the void in the future, his lack of knowledge of time magic will make it difficult for him to reset the timeline on his own...

This gamble involves the fate of all humanity...

Who would dare to take such a gamble...?

"Damn it, I'm going to die here..."

At the foot of the broken city wall, the bearded, rough-looking man Graves lit his last cigar with trembling hands—not from fear, but simply because he was too weak.

His shotgun—its fate—had been torn to pieces by some void creature. Several bloody claw marks marred his abdomen, threatening to kill him at any moment.

He was completely exhausted.

Lighting a cigarette before facing death was his last act of dignity.

"I shouldn't have come here with that brat Mu Bai in the first place... What bad luck... Fate isn't on my side this time..."

Several void creatures emerged from the darkness not far away.

Their bodies were tattered and mangled, yet they possessed extraordinary strength; they had no stomachs, yet their mouths drooled; their greed should have vanished with death, yet even Death itself seemed to tremble in fear…

They drew near. Their sharp teeth and claws gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

Graves closed his eyes and slowly exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, which contained his most heroic image and concealed his final disheveled state.

"Come on, you scum... if you want to gnaw on my bones, you'd better watch out and choke your dog throats..."

After a final curse, blood-red claws came flying.

Graves craned his neck, eager for a quick end.

However, the imagined pain or cold did not come.

Because a familiar figure shielded him from all the attacks.

“Smoking is harmful to your health, Graves.”

“You…” Graves stared at the young man in astonishment, then a satisfied smile slowly spread across his lips. “You finally came, you fucking…”

"Yes, I've come to clean up the trash for you."

Mu Bai casually swung his sword, and dozens of void creatures in front of him instantly turned into dust.

Immediately afterwards, he rushed into the air with teleportation speed, gathering two energy orbs, one grayish-white and the other dark purple, in his hands.
