Wei Ke or A De?

It all happened so fast, in the blink of an eye, all the constraints on Abeike disappeared, so much so that even Abeike himself didn't have time to react.

But Fei Ge realized what was happening and immediately changed his outstretched hand into a hand seal, triggering a renewed Magic Power vibration in the surrounding area, attempting to summon the sealing holy sword once more to reseal Abeike.

Casting spells takes time, and that time was enough for Abeike to react; otherwise, he wouldn't be alive today.

He roared, and half of his body rapidly transformed into a wolf. A thick wolf head lunged at Fei Ge's head, forcing Fei Ge to cancel his incantation and retreat, leaving Abeike's wolf head biting empty air.

"Damn it? What's wrong with this guy?!"

"Where is the Holy Sword? Where is the Holy Sword that the Bishop sealed away?!"

Only at this moment did the other Rhine Knight react and immediately launched an attack on Abeike.

However, after his attack on Fei Ge failed, Abeike quickly retreated, causing the Rhine Knight's attack to miss as well.

The situation, which had seemed settled, was instantly reversed.

Fei Ge frowned slightly, then looked at the Corruption Chains on the other side.

The Corruption Chains have already broken down significantly; those who should have been trapped inside are no longer there.

So it really was that guy who did it?

It seems he wasn't bound by the Corruption Chains and was watching from the sidelines the whole time.

Only...

Fei Ge recalled the snap of fingers he had just heard, and then connected it with the scene where the Holy Sword and Holy Fire were canceled together.

There's no mistake, that's the rule for Visas' left middle finger—[Termination].

But why is it marked "Termination"? That finger should be in Ulu's hand.

But that guy isn't Ulu at all, so how could he have "Termination"?

At that moment, Fei Ge realized that there was a slight problem with his previous decision.

He figured dealing with two body parts holders simultaneously would be troublesome, so he planned to wait until they were evenly matched before making his move. That's why he and his Rhine Knight waited until Bai Wei was consumed by the Corruption Chains before cleaning up the mess.

This is not because they are arrogant, but because the Corruption Chains are not simple spells; once you are caught, it is extremely difficult to escape.

But the other party escaped so easily, without even being noticed by them who were so close.

In other words, compared to the delirious Abeike who was being devoured by the Devourer, the guy whose identity they still couldn't determine was the real big boss.

But the big-headed guy had already escaped.

They not only escaped, but also left them with a huge problem.

"Don't even think about killing me!"

"Visas! Visas! Visas!"

"Not just Visas! Kill all inhuman beings!"

A noisy, ear-piercing shouting erupted, as if countless mouths were arguing.

And these countless mouths all belong to the same person.

Abeike was panting heavily, his face as pale as an old man on the verge of death, but the rest of his body was like that of a vigorous young man, especially his countless mouths, which looked like newly hatched chicks waiting in the nest for their mother to feed them insects.

And the insects they see are, of course, everyone except Abeike.

"Eat them!"

"Eat them!"

"Eat them!"

Each time they make a sound, they open their mouths as wide as possible, making the eyes inside their mouths more visible. So when they make a sound, it gives the people present an eerie feeling of being stared at by countless eyes.

This eerie feeling sent chills down the spines of even the battle-hardened Rhine Knight.

"Bishop Fei Ge ..." the Knight couldn't help but look at Fei Ge, "What should we do now?"

Fei Ge's brow furrowed even deeper.

Their previous success against Abeike came from a sneak attack, but now Abeike has reacted, and judging from Abeike's current physical condition, their stimulation has intensified the fusion between Abeike and the Devourer.

Moreover, Abeike doesn't seem to intend to achieve such a fusion again.

"You want me dead, don't you?" Abeike said in a low voice. "Everyone wants me dead, no one wants to let me go. Very well, that's good."

His tone was rapidly shifting from low to frantic.

"If that's the case, then none of us should live anymore, none of us should live anymore!"

Under everyone's gaze, Abeike reached for his teeth... no, to be precise, for Visas's teeth.

The Rhine Knight didn't understand what Abeike was trying to do, and even Fei Ge didn't react immediately.

Judging from Abeike's expression, he intends to have that tooth removed.

But in that case, the last bit of Abeike in his body would be devoured by the Devourer. You see, he's still able to maintain his sanity entirely because of that tooth.

Visas's power was guarding the last sanctuary of his chaotic mind, a sanctuary that the Devourer could never breach as long as he refused.

So this guy wants to... wait!

Fei Ge suddenly realized something and his eyes widened.

Could it be...?

"Stop him!"

Fei Ge immediately raised his hand. He had originally intended to save his strength to deal with the "Big Head" who had already escaped, but after guessing what Abeike was going to do, he realized that he couldn't wait any longer and had to stop him immediately!

"Rhine!"

He let out a loud shout, and the Holy Light belonging to the Rhine enveloped him. More than ten holy swords gathered under the Holy Light, rushing towards Abeike with unstoppable killing intent.

But then, with a "click," it went off.

Abeike had already removed the tooth. Looking at Fei Ge, who was hurriedly trying to fix it, and the dozen or so holy swords that were being shot at him, his eyes were full of mockery and madness.

"Come on!" he grinned menacingly, "I'll give you everything I have!"

"Come and kill you all... everyone!"

Then, Abeike took the tooth that he treasured, which belonged to Visas.

It was placed into the mouth of the devourer on its chest.

The next second, more than ten Rhine Holy Sword covered the spot where Abeike was, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Fei Ge stared intently ahead.

Seconds later, the dust was blown away by the wind, and Fei Ge saw Abeike lying on the ground with more than ten holy swords stuck in his body.

... It was a success?

He had just had that thought when, a few crisp clicking sounds rang out, causing Fei Ge's pupils to narrow involuntarily.

Because those holy swords imbued with the power of the Rhine God shattered.

It was brutally crushed by the countless mouths on Abeike's body.

Everyone was stunned.

Then Abeike stood up, tilted his head and looked at everyone, but before he could say anything, he raised his hand again.

With a "click".

The mouth on its hand bit off its head.

After a chilling chewing sound, Abeike's voice rang out from all the mouths.

"I will kill all of you!"

He said frantically.

"Be the witness!"

The thing Fei Ge least wanted to see happened: the Devourer consumed Visas' Corpse Pieces.

In other words, it can kill gods.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you've really raised something extraordinary."

Bai Wei stood on a hilltop not far away, watching. This distance was not a problem for him, who possessed the ability to "gaze".

Moreover, the commotion there is so loud that it's easy to see even without using [watch].

To be honest, the current situation is not what Bai Wei expected.

Strictly speaking, Abeike's counterattack against the Devourer was already beyond Bai Wei's expectations. But Abeike's actions still leave Bai Wei in awe, exclaiming, "How could this be possible?"

Without a doubt, the Devourer is Fei Ge's biggest card; if controlled well, it can eliminate all enemies for Rhine.

Even if things get out of control, they still have ways to subdue the Devourers. After all, the Devourers were created by them, and these remnants of the Gods can't possibly withstand true divine magic.

But if the Devourer eats that tooth, then things are different.

The devourer can also devour the characteristics of the devoured.

All the Visas corpses share a common characteristic: they are godslayers.

In other words, these high and mighty Rhine people have lost the means to restrain the Devourers.

In this way, the outcome is already decided.

What follows will be nothing more than a massacre with no suspense.

But what happens after that?

Currently, there are three consciousnesses within this Devourer: the original "Kill Visas," the one rewritten by Bai Wei as "Kill all non-human beings with divine power," and the last one is Abeike's "Kill everyone." Two of these three consciousnesses will guide them to find Bai Wei once again.

When that time comes, it will be Bai Wei's turn to face this "Gu King" that has now reached its full potential.

However, Bai Wei wasn't bothered, because there was another person who met the criteria.

So now...

Bai Wei turned his head and looked in the direction where Wei Ke and Yi Weina had left.

Only the last one is left.

Wei Ke saw himself.

He was absolutely certain that it was him.

He lay in a pool of blood, a large hole torn open in his chest, his internal organs ripped out.

And he was still talking to himself.

"Leave now and never come back."

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

Wei Ke let out another wail.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong?!" Yi Weina, who was waiting in the inner room, heard the noise and, ignoring Wei Ke's instructions not to come out under any circumstances, rushed to Wei Ke, looking at him anxiously. "What's wrong?! Did you remember something again? It's okay, it's okay, Wei Ke."

Yi Weina hugged Wei Ke's head and gently patted his back, comforting him.

Wei Ke gradually calmed down, but he was still breathing heavily, Yi Weina could feel that his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

Yi Weina looked up and saw the two Wildfire Cultists who had been dealt with, but still didn't understand what had happened.

Surely it couldn't be that he killed someone and that's what triggered Wei Ke's reaction?

At this moment, Wei Ke finally spoke, his voice extremely hoarse. "I saw myself again."

Did I see myself again?

Isn't this normal? It's not the first time anyway.

Just as Yi Weina was about to ask a question, Wei Ke's next words stunned her.

"I saw myself die, being killed... just like this Wildfire Cultist."

Although Yi Weina was mentally prepared, Wei Ke's words still surprised her.

"Killed?" she asked. "Is it a hallucination?"

"I...I don't know," Wei Ke said, breathing heavily. "But it feels so real."

He looked down at his intact chest, but the image that flashed through his mind was that of a torn chest.

"How could that be?" Yi Weina said. "The dead cannot be brought back to life! Have you forgotten what Father Ulu said?"

Upon hearing "Father Ulu," Wei Ke's restless heart calmed down considerably.

Yes, whether human or god, the dead cannot be resurrected. This is what Father Ulu said, so it must be true.

Wei Ke has unconditional trust in Bai Wei.

Therefore, he could not have been resurrected, and if he could not have been resurrected, he could not have died.

In other words, what I just saw wasn't a memory, but just an illusion?

"It must be a hallucination!" Yi Weina said decisively. "Have you forgotten? When you came in just now, you saw something about the future of Hunter. Was that also a memory?"

Wei Ke thought about it and realized that what Yi Weina said seemed to make some sense.

"That Saint must have made it up specifically for you," Yi Weina said. "You absolutely cannot believe it."

"...But why did he make all this up for me?" Wei Ke whispered. "What's the point?"

"They're definitely trying to interfere with your perception," Yi Weina said. "Remember what Father Ulu said? They all want to take over your body, but as long as you don't lose yourself, they won't succeed!"

Wei Ke nodded subconsciously, then felt something was off. "Did Father Ulu say something like that? I remember he only told me to find the truth, to find myself..."

"Right," Yi Weina clapped her hands. "Isn't that the same thing?"

Yes, right?

Wei Ke was puzzled, but Yi Weina didn't let him dwell on it any longer. She pulled him up from the ground and said, "This place is too eerie. Now that you've got the weapon, let's not linger. Let's go to the Hunter Statue now."

Upon hearing that they were going to the statue, Wei Ke immediately perked up and nodded repeatedly.

Yes, all the answers will be revealed once you go to the statue.

That's what Wei Ke was thinking.

So they were about to leave, but just as they were about to go out, Wei Ke glanced again at the Wildfire Cultist's corpse lying in a pool of blood, and then looked into the inner room, where a room full of wreckage was piled up.

Then, Wei Ke stopped walking.

"What's wrong?" Yi Weina looked at him, puzzled.

Wei Ke stood there, stunned.

He had always felt that something was off about the wreckage in the room, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

But now...

No, that won't happen.

Wei Ke shook off Yi Weina's hand, ignored Yi Weina cries, and rushed back into the inner room, rummaging through the skeletons.

This made Yi Weina uneasy.

"Wei Ke, what's wrong?!" She ran back too.

Wei Ke seemed not to hear her voice, continuing to rummage through the bones, a sight that frightened Yi Weina.

After what seemed like an eternity, Wei Ke finally stopped what he was doing, sitting there blankly, muttering repeatedly, "No, no, no."

"Wei Ke, what exactly happened?" Yi Weina suppressed her unease and asked softly, "Tell me, okay? What did you say 'no'?"

"There are only Hunter's corpses here," Wei Ke said in a low voice.

Only the Hunter's corpse? Is there anything wrong with that?

Before Yi Weina could react, she saw Wei Ke turn around and look at her with a look of despair she had never seen before.

"Saintess, who am I?"

"Is it Wei Ke, or... A De?"

Damn! This month is finally over!

I have to write on both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day!
