Okay, Let's Go See That Child

Ke Li fell into a pool of blood, his one remaining eye filled with terror, for his body had been cut into three pieces.

His brain could only control half of his shoulder and half of his arm, like a maliciously destroyed toy. Then, the excruciating pain that tore his body apart surged up, fiercely gnawing at his nerves, causing him to involuntarily let out a hoarse scream.

Footsteps sounded.

The sound of heavy boots stepping on the pool of blood was very clear, as if death was approaching.

At that moment, Ke Li belatedly realized that he was really going to die.

But he refused to accept this fact, so he struggled frantically, trying to get away from the approaching figure. But with only his body left, no matter how much he struggled, he could only roll around in the blood and flesh, looking like a disgusting... worm.

Bai Wei stopped in his tracks, looking at the bishop who had been so spirited just a minute ago, but now looked like a monster.

Logically speaking, this level of injury would be fatal to anyone, but Ke Li was still in the "God's Blessing" state, and the Rhine power was still trying to maintain his life and repair his body.

But clearly, there was nothing more that could be done than prolong his life and suffering by a few more minutes.

"What a mess," Bai Wei said softly.

The sound was very soft, but enough for Ke Li to hear.

He jerked his head up, and anger was still visible on his face, which was contorted with pain.

"Visas!" he roared desperately, "What...what did you do to me?"

"I didn't do anything," Bai Wei said calmly. "I just started a game, and you lost it, that's all."

Ke Li's body trembled violently, whether from anger or pain, he didn't know, but Bai Wei's words made him realize a fact.

That is, he really is going to die.

The fear of death washed over him, along with a sense of responsibility as the Rhine Archbishop.

He suddenly realized that he was the only one who knew that Visas's soul was still alive, but he was about to die, so no one would know this until Visas did something even more horrifying.

No, no, the message must be delivered.

But Bai Wei had already seen through his thoughts. Bai Wei didn't even move, but simply said indifferently, "Give up. You can't do anything now. The only difference between you and a mutilated corpse is that you are still alive for the time being."

Ke Li raised his head again, staring intently at Bai Wei with his only remaining eye.

But he also knew that Bai Wei was right; he was now powerless to do anything.

Visas's soul is still alive, and he has retrieved two pieces of his body and obtained two rules, one of which he obtained from himself, the Rhine Archbishop.

At that moment, endless regret overwhelmed Ke Li, and the increasingly intense pain and approaching death drove him to utter madness.

"I'm not having it, Visas!" he roared. "This game isn't fair! You're helping that guy, you're helping him!"

Looking at Ke Li, who seemed to have lost his mind, Bai Wei slowly revealed a smile, as if he had been waiting for Ke Li to say this.

So he slowly bent down, grabbed Ke Li's hair, lifted up half of his body, and made him look at him.

Ke Li was left with only one eye, and so was he. After using that rule with a mortal body, his right eye was permanently shut off as the price.

Bai Wei looked at Ke Li and said with a light laugh, "It seems you don't think you've lost to him."

"Of course I... didn't lose!"

"Is that so?" Bai Wei nodded slightly. "Then do you remember your last divine spell? I remember it was a defensive divine spell, right? You used a divine spell to defend against my two chains, right? But I want to tell you, my eyes weren't ready at that time. If you had attacked me then..."

Ke Li's eyes widened little by little, and his expression changed rapidly.

All of this naturally fell into Bai Wei's eyes, and Bai Wei's smile widened even more.

"So, it's just one step away, really just one step away. If you dare to attack me the way that guy attacked you, then you'll win everything."

Bai Wei paused for a moment, then said slowly.

"It's you."

Ke Li's mouth and eyes widened at the same time, as if he wanted to say something, but his divine body finally faded away, and his last bit of life was quickly taken away, so his expression froze.

Surprise, anger, resentment, regret.

All kinds of emotions are present.

The smile on Bai Wei's face vanished the instant he died, but he did not put down Ke Li's half-body. Instead, he stared quietly at Ke Li's expression, as if trying to permanently etch this scene into his body.

Then, he threw the severed body away like trash.

"The transaction is complete," Bai Wei said softly. "Did you see it?"

Silence, a long silence, as if his question would never be answered.

But Bai Wei continued to wait.

It's unclear how much time passed, but the long-lost sound slowly began to resound.

"Ah... I saw it."

Then there was silence again, as if responding to Bai Wei's question had exhausted all his vitality.

Bai Wei closed his eyes. In the place where the soul resided, only a few sparks remained, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

He opened his eyes. "Is there anything else you want to do?"

Another silence followed.

"There's probably nothing I want to do anymore."

Bai Wei said, "Let's think about it again."

"Think again... think again..." The voice grew softer and softer until Bai Wei thought the fire had gone out. Suddenly, he became excited, like the last few sparks from a charred ember of a extinguished campfire when a breeze blew through it. "That child... that child... I want to see... that child."

That child...

Bai Wei knew who Ulu was referring to.

He lowered his head, looking at his now broken and battered body.

Ulu's soul was burning out, and to control this remaining body, Bai Wei would need to use his own soul to take over, which would undoubtedly cause his soul to suffer great damage as well.

Moreover, going to see that child at this time would be too risky and would not align with Bai Wei's future plans.

Furthermore, given Ulu's current condition, it will be difficult for them to hold out until then.

So...

"I want to see... that child..."

Bai Wei remained silent for a moment.

"Okay, let's go see that child."
