Savior of the World

The torrential rain soaked Tian Huo completely.

"Hate? According to you, I should hate my Master?"

Tian Huo looked up at the other person with a calm expression.

"When did I ever say that I didn't hate her anymore?"

The stray hairs on her forehead clung to her face with the rain, obscuring her eyes, making it impossible for others to see the expression on her face.

"From a personal standpoint, I do have to blame my Master. Because of her, I've ended up in this situation; because of her, my family is ruined; because of her, I've endured three years of living a life worse than death here... But from the perspective of the public, she is Hero who sacrificed herself to save hundreds of thousands of people. I should admire her, respect her, and be proud that she is my Master."

"Hero? Yes, everyone knows she's Hero, but who knows you?"

With his hands outstretched exaggeratedly, the Blond Young Man's eyes gleamed with even more mockery, and a hint of morbid pleasure was also faintly visible within them.

"You need to understand, you have no place in the Real World anymore. There is absolutely no way I will let you go back. Right now, the entire world's focus is on reclaiming the Core Zone. Who cares about the truth of that so-called betrayal of our master three years ago?"

"One last question, were my parents killed by you?"

Watching the Blond Young Man quietly, and patiently listening to him finish his rambling, Tian Huo calmly asked a question.

"So what if it is? So what if it isn't? Your family has already been expelled, but it wasn't me who killed your parents, it was those Anomaly."

The Blond Young Man tapped his temple with his finger and smiled.

"And me? I did go to help them collect their bodies out of consideration for our past relationship, otherwise... What, you've finally come to your senses?"

Seeing the Young Girl suddenly kneel down and bow her head in the rain, the Blond Young Man was stunned for a moment before covering his face and bursting into wild laughter.

"Hahaha, just as I thought! In the face of Life and Death, things like dignity can be discarded. That's right, that's how it should be. You should have surrendered to me long ago!!"

"..."

Kneeling silently in the torrential rain, the Young Girl didn't reply; instead, she closed her eyes.

"Come on, crawl over here and put this collar on."

The Blond Young Man pulled out a dog collar from somewhere, shook it at the other person, and had a mocking look on his face.

"If you could serve me..."

Before he could finish his sentence, with a soft thud, the collar on his wrist fell off and rolled to the side.

--His hand fell off along with the collar.

After staring blankly at his own hand on the ground for a moment, the intense pain finally reached his mind from the wound. Just as he was about to scream while clutching his severed arm, a flash of red light accompanied the ejection of half a tongue, covered in blood and foam, from his mouth.

"You're spewing vulgarities, kneel down!"

As those cold words rang out, the Blond Young Man suddenly felt a chill on his feet again. As he lost his balance and fell forward, he saw his legs flying far away.

"From this moment on, if you dare to utter a sound without my permission, I will kill you."

Amidst the muddy water that reeked of a faint stench of decay, as these words, like a death knell's pronouncement, rang in his ears, a Red Laser Sword was plunged into the ground beside his head.

"..."

His mouth gaped open, his head pressed against the Soil ground, and he gasped for breath. The Blond Young Man was still not recovered from the sudden turn of events, but the pain coursing through his body clearly reminded him that this was not a dream.

No, no... How could this be? It can't be... Things shouldn't be like this... Impossible!!!

As he caught a glimpse of the figure walking past him out of the corner of his eye, a boundless fear involuntarily rose within him, and the Blond Young Man screamed wildly in his heart.

How could this be!? How could this be!? How could this be!?

How could she possibly, how could she possibly, how could she possibly... recover at this time???

To recover from that state, the Curse Origin must be completely eradicated... which is impossible without any means necessary!!

That Curse Origin was clearly sealed away by myself using the Puzzle Card!! How could it possibly be...?

"Hey, good morning!"

Seeing the other person's gaze turn towards him, Bai Zhi, who had just emerged from the Shadow and was squatting beside the box studying the seemingly slightly altered Pitch Black Rubik's Cube's Bai Zhi in his hand, raised his hand in a friendly greeting and asked the other person with great concern.

"You seem to be in a very bad situation. Would you like a stapler?"

To be honest, Bai Zhi himself didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

I originally thought it would take a little longer, but to my surprise, the little black cube was swallowed up by the [Pitch Black Rubik's Cube] so easily... just like eating a piece of candy.

The so-called "Curse Origin," which is that small black cube, doesn't seem to be much different from the "Pitch Black Rubik's Cube" in essence.

According to Bai Zhi's speculation, this thing should also be formed from a small part of the Anomaly that was differentiated from the so-called "Lord of Anomaly," which is similar to the [Lord of Flesh and Blood] and [Doll Princess]], and Gestation from an entire Strength.

Bai Zhi had witnessed this scene before when he passed through Anna's Mental World portal in the Rose Manor. The so-called [Lord of Flesh and Blood] was constantly projecting its clones into other worlds. This [Curse Origin] was a similar creation, only it was more materialized and smaller than that dark cloud.

After figuring this out, Bai Zhi finally understood why it was said that the [Curse Origin] was difficult, or rather, almost impossible, to completely eliminate.

If you want to completely eliminate this [Curse Origin], then you must confront the Lord of Anomaly created this [Curse Origin].

That's Ultimate Anomaly that devoured an entire world, brewing on the ruins of that world. It would be a miracle if Player could even handle it, and they might even attract its attention, bringing annihilation to their world... At least not now.

Therefore, based on this theory, Tian Huo's Master is actually beyond saving, unless the world Tian Huo belongs to possesses the ability to fight against the "Lord of Anomaly" who created this [Curse Origin]... Bai Zhi thinks that's unlikely.

It's uncertain whether their world is aware of this information. If they are unaware, when they attempt to completely eliminate the [Curse Origin] to rescue Tian Huo's Master, that will be the end of their world, as it will inevitably attract the attention of the other party and even lead to their demise.

If that's the case, wouldn't you say I... saved a world?
