Chapter 222

They were so close that Bai Yan could even see the fine wrinkles on the other person's lips and the glint of light from the lipstick.

"Your terms?"

"No means no, no matter the conditions. You're not destined to know."

"Well..."

Vill-V sighed, but didn't move. Instead, she nonchalantly clung tightly to Bai Yan's arm.

Bai Yan ignored this and said seriously, "I want to use this place as an entrance to set up something in the Sea of Quantum before I go to retrieve the Twelfth Divine Key."

There was no other way; Vill-V had to let go of Bai Yan.

On the other side, inside the Stigmata Space.

Misterin knelt on one knee, utterly losing this duel that concerned everything concerning the Herrscher of Reason.

There was no trace of disappointment on her face; it was only the moment Bronya's transformation was complete that she began to wonder where to find Bai Yan.

Have you already given up?

Bronya came up to her and asked.

"Yes, it seems Bronya is indeed more suitable, so I have no choice but to withdraw."

Bronya sensed that the other person was still a bit strange.

When they hit him, they didn't seem to be holding back; their ferocity sent chills down his spine.

She was very confident that she had won completely, but at the same time, her opponent conceded defeat just as readily.

Misterin stood up.

"A break point... how could there be a break point...?"

She muttered to herself softly.

Bronya watched her receding figure, then decided to ignore her.

Kiana and Durandal are trapped; it seems we need to find Mei first.

"The power of a complete Herrscher of Reason is truly a completely different feeling."

She gently clenched her fist, then unleashed her power.

Understanding and reproduction.

Entering and exiting the Stigmata Space is not difficult.

She disappeared from there very quickly.

Meanwhile, Misterin crouched down somewhere in the distance, gazing at the barely visible whirlpool beneath her feet, observing and studying it with a puzzled expression.

"Not a break, but a split? Hmm... Oh! It'll be repaired, then I can rest assured."

She stood up, glanced at the spot where Bronya had left, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Well done, then I've completed my mission and should go find Bai Yan."

Chapter 269 Bai Yan is not good at lying.

Shortly after a group of people appeared, Kiana and Durandal both crashed.

After a long pause, Kiana spoke first.

She asked tentatively, "You... are you lost in Parallel World?"

"Idiot Kiana,"

Bronya couldn't help but say, "We came here following the Gnius coordinates on Durandal!"

While Kiana was still wondering what Gnius was, Durandal had already figured it out.

She looked at Bai Yan, whom she was carrying. "You're the one who did this again?"

"How is that possible?"

Bai Yan shrugged. "They have nothing to do with me, but they do have a bit of Parallel World feel to them."

"Don't listen to that guy's nonsense. You should know that he has accomplices who have disappeared without a trace. These people are probably secretly created by them to confuse our judgment."

Tesla clenched his fist and said to Durandal.

Durandal hesitated.

Kiana was even more confused.

Just as they were at a standoff, an unexpected person suddenly appeared.

Sigfried held the Phoenix Incineration in his hand, his body still wrapped in bandages, looking like he was recovering from a serious illness.

But at this moment, his face showed determination, and without hesitation, he suddenly and mercilessly drew his sword at the person who was already there.

Flames engulfed half of the floating island, as if instantly igniting the entire space.

Then his voice rang out from inside the fire. "These guys are fake, kill them!"

Tesla roared, "You bastard! Sigfried, are you insane?!"

Immediately, the group that had been standing with Durandal reacted and engaged the uninvited guest in battle.

Surprisingly, everyone acted with great restraint, trying their best not to hurt Sigfried.

Durandal stared at Sigfried for a while, various thoughts flashing through her mind.

Sigfried is an imposter, and he has launched an attack on those around him.

So, which side is the truth?

She then looked at the group of people who had suddenly appeared, and saw that they were standing still with no intention of joining the fight.

Rita, in particular, looked at him with obvious anxiety.

However.

"Durandal, there are some issues with this Xiao Yan. Should we confirm something?"

Upon hearing this, she looked at another Rita.

Calm and composed, with elegant manners.

Even in the face of this bizarre chaos, he remained calm.

It was indeed the Rita I knew.

Moreover, it was communicating with me just now.

Gnius couldn't be wrong...

Durandal shook her head. "I also think he has some problems, but now is not the time to do that— Kiana, what do you think?"

"My period is here, and it's there too... I don't feel any difference..."

Kiana's tone was uncertain, even carrying a hint of inexplicable disappointment.

Intuitively, she always felt that both sides were important to her, and there wasn't even a trace of hostility.

If we absolutely have to determine which is better...

She preferred the group she reunited with earlier to the group that appeared later.

The battle in the sky ended quickly, as it was a clear advantage for many to gang up on Sigfried.

When he was brought down, he was still struggling, but Theresa held his shoulders tightly, making it difficult for him to move.

"Kiana, the people holding me down are fake! Wake up!"

Sigfried shouted.

"..."

Durandal lowered her head and asked Bai Yan, "Your power is unbelievably weak. I suspect you're an imposter—assuming my guess is correct, you must be an illusion created by Bai Yan himself. So tell me, what exactly is Bai Yan's intention?"

Bai Yan's expression changed.

He laughed, as if to say, "This child is teachable."

"By directly addressing the root of the problem instead of dwelling on the debate between truth and falsehood, you've grown a lot, haven't you, Bianca?"

"As expected, my guess was right."

Durandal's gaze sharpened. "You can directly control your creations, so you're speaking to me through this fake model."

Indeed.

"So we've been trapped in this false world again, while the people who just appeared are the real ones."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yan fell silent, as if he had briefly lost his connection.

A moment later, he returned to his state of complete ignorance.

"Tsk! They actually escaped!"

"Who said that? I just switched to a larger size."

Durandal first heard the sound, then realized that the collar of her dress that she was holding had disappeared.

Looking up and following the sound, I saw Bai Yan hovering in mid-air, slowly descending with a smile on his face.

The moment they landed, the "group" that had been arguing immediately stopped fighting, including "Sigfried," and all of them stood behind Bai Yan in unison.

At that moment, Kiana felt a void in her heart, and a sense of loss welled up inside her.

When she realized this, a chill ran down her spine.

"I found something I couldn't replicate, then forced my way in; subsequently, I searched for the most obvious flaw in the fake me to verify my suspicions."

"Well done, Bianca and Bronya. It seems the plan can proceed further."

"Let me think. Misterin has helped you complete the final transformation. Now you should be able to do many things."

"Bronya is willing to help if Brother Bai Yan needs it."

"..."

Bai Yan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That would be perfect, but the form of assistance might be a bit beyond everyone's common sense."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yan paused, as if sensing something.

Then he waved his hand, and a spatial passage to this world opened.

Raiden Mei appears.

She seemed a little stunned, surprised that the intrusion had been completed so easily.

He looked around and quickly stood next to Kiana.

"Mei?"

"Um."

"You... are you really Mei?"

Kiana asked suspiciously.

"..."

"It really is you! Sigh, Bai Yan's methods are terrifying. Before he exposed himself, I couldn't even tell which period was real."

Kiana said with some annoyance.

Durandal at Kiana, then at Bai Yan, without saying a word.

Her eyes were noticed by Rita, who was some distance away.

Based on Kiana's words, Rita seemed to realize something as well, and sighed without saying a word.

"Kiana, we absolutely must win this match against Bai Yan."

"What's the meaning?"

Raiden Mei glanced at Bai Yan and said, "This is just the beginning. The power of the Finality is flowing towards him, and he will only become more and more difficult to defeat. We must speed up our pace."

"I see..."

"Leaving here now is probably not something that can be done with ordinary teleportation,"

Durandal added, "Assuming this illusory world is his creation, then Rita and the others being able to enter it is probably an act of being allowed to."
