Perfect Ending

[Lord of Flesh and Blood]

What Anna said was a long string of incomprehensible words, but when it reached Bai Zhi's ears, the long string of words automatically coalesced into these four words in his mind.

"[Lord of Flesh and Blood]? I feel like the moment this name appears, all the prestige just drops..."

Bai Zhi reached up and touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

"The true name of that being is beyond human comprehension. Upon learning its true name, each person will spontaneously generate an impression of that person... This is the name Prince Your Highness himself gave it."

Instinctively reaching out to grab Bai Zhi's sleeve, Anna looked up at the Tian Kong and let out a sound that resembled a sigh.

"And now, it's looking this way..."

As Anna's voice faded, it was as if a giant hand had pushed away the clouds. The blood-red clouds above the dilapidated castle gradually dispersed, revealing beautiful and vast stars in the boundless deep sky.

--This was a dazzling Starry Sky that Bai Zhi had never seen before.

It was not any Starry Sky he knew, filled with strangeness and endless malice. The stars seemed to have Life of their own, moving across the Starry Sky and gradually piecing together a giant eye pattern in the vast galaxy.

That enormous eye stared straight at the top floor of the dilapidated castle... or rather, at Anna, whose form was a phantom created from Golden Light beside Bai Zhi.

At the very moment that eye turned to Anna, within the Mental World constructed by Anna, Dead Zero, March-shi, and the other two simultaneously felt an inexplicable and overwhelming terror descend upon them.

As his body involuntarily slumped to the ground, his Sanity Value in the Attribute Panel plummeted, and a mournful cry echoed from the depths of his brain.

--That's a gaze that no human being can bear.

If the three of them hadn't had no actual contact with that eye, they would probably have been completely assimilated into its body by now, not only its body but also its Soul.

They wouldn't normally be affected, but because they were within the Mental World constructed by Anna, and Anna was currently being watched by that eye, they still suffered Unexpected Disaster.

"How is this possible? What is going on...?"

With one hand tightly covering her head, and opening her eyes completely for the first time, March-shi looked at the Crystal Coffin with a horrified expression.

However, everything there was completely obscured by a dazzling white light, and none of them could see it at all.

The sudden arrival of that inexplicable terror was quite unexpected, but its disappearance was equally swift, lasting less than five seconds before everything returned to silence.

When that inexplicable sense of oppression subsided, all three people present, including the Dead Zero, felt a strange sense of relief, as if they had survived a catastrophe.

Before they could figure out what had happened, violent tremors came from all directions. Suppressing the tearing pain that surged from the depths of his brain, March-shi walked a few steps to the door and opened it.

Then, everything he saw left him speechless and stunned.

Like a scene from the Apocalypse, the sun in the Tian Kong had completely darkened, its dim light like a flickering oil lamp, and all around was deep darkness.

The Tian Kong was covered with cracks as if it were fragile glass, and the earth began to break and crack continuously. As for Anna and the others who were happily running in the garden in front of the castle, they had long since disappeared.

Collapse, shatter.

This Mental World, constructed by Anna, is gradually heading towards destruction.

Everything outside is collapsing.

"... Did he really kill Anna?"

He followed his elder brother to his side, and looking at the Apocalypse scene outside the door, Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas Jian frowned deeply.

"Anna treated him the best, yet he killed her without any remorse... What a scumbag."

"It's just Anomaly; how can humans be misled by Anomaly?"

Kneeling on the ground with one hand on the hilt of a knife, the Dead Zero spoke coldly.

"Watch your tone of voice."

"..."

He glanced at the still-closed eyes of the Dead Zero, but had no intention of arguing with him. He found a Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas space and took out a well-preserved doll from his Inventory.

Once the doll was taken out, its body began to transform into real flesh and blood, and in no time, a stern-faced man appeared on the ground.

The other party was not injured, but they were still unconscious.

"... What an idiot! He deserves it!!"

After staring at the man in front of him with a slightly complicated expression for a moment, Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas suddenly kicked him hard, then turned around and strode towards the door.

"Let's go! You idiot bro!!"

"Here it comes. Let me throw that guy out first..."

After glancing at the unconscious man with apparent interest, March-shi also tossed a Doll out of her Inventory; it was the Doll belonging to [Fengxi’s Bone].

Considering that the other party had risked his life to save his younger sister, he still managed to snatch the Doll from the tentacles. It was fortunate that the other party had been turned into Doll beforehand; otherwise, if he had snatched back a mutated Monster, there would have been no hope of saving him.

Just like the [Night Evolution Breath] that was previously taken out by the Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas, after the [Fengxi’s Bone] Doll was taken out, this Doll also began to rapidly transform into real flesh and blood.

"... If we meet again in the future, I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate again."

She glanced at Bai Zhi, who was walking out of the white light, looking lost in thought, and after saying this, March-shi turned and walked out the door.

With two flashes of white light, the brother and sister vanished from the spot.

"..."

Bai Zhi glanced in the direction where the two men from the March-shi had disappeared, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Bai Zhi took the [Fireworks of Romance] Doll out of his Inventory and casually threw it on the ground. He didn't care about the other party and walked to the Dead Zero's side, reaching out to pull him up.

"It's over?"

The Young Girl, with her eyes tightly closed, looked up at him.

"Yes, it's over."

Regardless of whether the other person could see him or not, Bai Zhi turned to look at the shattered world outside the door and nodded slightly.

"The ending was Perfect, so Perfect... it exceeded my expectations."
