Chapter 848: 846: Challenge
When Art saw the young man who had arrived early at this basent known only to him, a place nad as Sanctuary and Shelter with the vocabulary of Heavenly Divinity,
he was only montarily surprised, quickly calculating in his mind the reasons the other could have found this place.
Tsk tsk tsk~
"William, oh William! I knew you couldn’t be trusted at all... Did you secretly steal my mory by using those common cells present in our children?"
Sitting in the corner, William extinguished the match, completely concealing himself in the darkness.
"No~ that’s too troubleso and too dangerous~ Reading mories requires deep penetration into brain cells, and Art, your brain is already covered by divinity, so invading it would alert you.
I rely had a mber of the Smile Fan Club beco my student while we were working together, allowing him to secretly go to False Moon, fully cooperating with our research on the ’Clown Virus’ unique to you, Art."
Here, thanks must be given to Reagan, for his Naisi Technology provided the crack within two months, allowing us to quickly pinpoint the coordinates of those infected with the virus across the Old World.
Then, by comparing it with the Fan Club base you provided, it was easy to find this most hidden location.
Moreover, here, there’s only one virus carrier with concealnt ability staying underground, with enough moist food to last for decades, it was clear this special area was used by you, Art, as a refuge.
Once you obtain the qualification, if you don’t beco the Plague Master on the spot, you would most likely co here for your final ascension.
After all~ you have never trusted
entirely, thus you wouldn’t trust the ’child’ we created together. You would definitely abandon the child to avoid my influence.
Thus, using the virus’s traits to transfer here, am I not right in what I’m saying?"
If it were before, at this point hearing these words Art would probably have lost his temper and slaughtered William on the spot.
But now, his heart realm has changed, and he also wants to chat with this intriguing person in front of him.
"Worthy of a Madman, truly clever~ What do you plan to do now?
Continue maintaining our alliance, guard here for
until I beco the true Plague Master, and then help you ascend to boss’s position?"
"No..." William simply denied it without explaining further.
Art pressed his finger against his nose, "Hiss~ Are you going to terminate our cooperation, William? And then send these coordinates to the world?
After all, from the mont you made
hunt the Skin Bag Apostle, what I’ve done has already broken the Monastery’s boundaries, and now seizing the qualification is even more sinful."
As long as you send these coordinates out,
the Great Prison Monk from the Monastery, or perhaps even the Prison Director himself, might co to hunt
down.
The Great Emperor from the Blood Citizens certainly won’t let it slide, I killed his most beloved Monarch, he will use every ans to kill .
The Cancer Palace will panic even more~ once they know my coordinates and that I’ve obtained the qualification, they’ll stop at nothing to execute .
Your friends,
Luna Kid and the Naisi patient who achieved chanical Ascension in the competition should also co to hunt
down.
If I’m killed, the ’qualification’ will be redistributed within the Old World~ and you, being the top contributor who stopped this great villain, reaching the Silver Circle limit, will likely be allocated this qualification.
Am I wrong? William, this is your plan."
Just when Art confidently laid out his reasoning,
"No..." William still gave a negative answer.
Such a brief denial left Art quite annoyed, but as of now he’s only a prospective Plague Master. After working with William for this period, he was well aware that in such a dark environnt, William could easily slip into the Abyss, making it extrely difficult to kill him.
Suppressing his smile,
Art made an inviting gesture and continued asking: "So what exactly do you want to do?"
"Very simply, to kill you before you complete your final transformation, Art... that’s all."
With these words.
Hahaha~ Hahaha!
Maniacal laughter instantly filled the absolutely sealed sanctuary, the laughter even making the sealing materials here grow tumors, making the already narrow space seem completely about to be filled.
But still unable to touch William’s physical body,
The laughter lasted for five minutes before gradually ceasing,
"Haha~ really, at such a critical mont you’re still joking, William. No wonder you could earn my trust in such a short ti, you’re truly interesting, always able to make an unexpected joke at a critical mont.
Now suppose you’re not joking,
then I admit you have so skill, especially in the combination of space and abyss, catching you truly is difficult.
But if we talk about actual combat prowess, among all the chiefs in the Circus, you rank at the bottom, what on earth do you have to kill , a prospective Plague Master?"
William didn’t respond following the clown’s words, but simply said:
"Do you dare accept my challenge invitation, Art Krar?"
"William, are you serious? Really rushing to your death?"
Over the four months of interaction, Art knew very well that William was truly a smart person. This move was definitely not mindless, it surely carried so hidden agenda.
His first guess was that William intended to deliberately lose to him, thus getting absorbed and becoming part of him, thereby affecting his final Plague Master ascension.
"If you’re eager to die, I can fulfill that for you~ However, I won’t absorb you. You seem off;
your ntal state is very much like mine in the past, like a complete Madman."
William continued to respond in a calm voice,
"Since you agreed to my challenge, please, Mr. Art, wait a mont while I set up the scene~ to prevent our duel from being interrupted by others.
As you ntioned before, in the Old World right now, there are nurous people, even multiple Plague Masters, who want to kill you.
I can’t let them succeed."
"Scene? Are you going to set up the boss’s tent?"
"No... This is a scene I’ve specially arranged for this mont, ensuring our duel won’t be exposed, ensuring everything can be completed in secret."
Art was slightly wary, thinking William might bring out so scene similar to the Abyss, even suspecting the Tenth Abyss behind William might co out to assist.
If the Abyss did erge, Art would self-destruct and shift imdiately.
To his surprise,
The sound of pages flipping echoed in his ears.
A certain malice that resonated with Art began to breed in the current area, alongside slowly expanding a kind of [Field].
Just like the previous performance, where Zede constructed the Corpse Demon Cave with Physical bodies.
Only, this [Field] was more perfected, more enclosed, and reinforced with a concept beyond the Old World.
"This malice... Are you using extraterrestrial stuff again?"
"Indeed, previously it was just a slight invocation of character projections from the storybook, this ti I am using the entire book as a foundation, creating a perfected [Field], which is also our ultimate stage where we fight to the death."
No sooner had the words been spoken.
This secret cellar was imdiately covered by rules transcending the Old World,
Woosh~ A downpour comnced, continuously thrashing amidst the city of steel jungle.
Street lamps provided limited illumination,
Art stood in the center of the road, curiously observing these strangely styled Otherworld buildings.
"Oh! So, this is the human city in the Main Material Plane... Seems interesting, with high residential density, quite suitable for plague spread."
Just as Art was appreciating this urban scenery,
A needle-like crisis pierced straight into his heart, even as a quasi-Plague Master, just shy of the final ’Golden Expression’ stage, he felt the danger.
Looking upward,
Art saw William slowly descending from the sky, appearing almost like there were two people.
For so reason, he couldn’t see clearly, like staring at the blazing sun in the sky: dazzling and blurry.
Only able to make out the general silhouette of William, seemingly possessing three arms, with the third arm not quite belonging to him,
Moreover, Art sensed that behind William soone seed to be watching him, a very familiar feeling of gaze.
Tap~
The instant shoe soles hit the ground overshadowed the sound of rain striking,
The neatly suited William stood straight across the street, feet slightly apart and aligned with shoulders, both hands resting on a gentleman’s cane, smiling at Art opposite him.
However,
Apart from William’s gaze, another stare ca from behind.
Yi Chen, embedded in his back, tried his best to straighten his mind, giving the impression of standing sideways behind William.
Perhaps due to fatigue and injury from the battle with the Great Emperor, Yi Chen appeared sowhat aged, devoid of life.
One hand gently rested on William’s shoulder for support.
The other hand retained the posture from facing the Great Emperor, wrapped in iron chains and holding the formidable slaughter knife, extending diagonally behind William like a ’third arm.’
As for why Art couldn’t see clearly earlier, it felt like being scorched by the sun was due to William’s forehead,
The pupil of Evil Sun’s Eye was already opened.
Of course,
Most striking was the abdon’s inward-recessing Abyss Mouth, even the entire suit perfectly matched, curving inward at the Abyss, spinning and rippling outward like waves.
