Collapse, I'll Transform and Punch You Directly

"Ugh!!"

Mobius was thrown quite hard. After a moment, her playful demeanor vanished, and she glared fiercely at Bai Chen in the distance.

She knew Bai Chen wouldn't believe her, just as she didn't believe Bai Chen could lead them out of this world. Otherwise, she wouldn't have attacked him.

Her thoughts were somewhat similar to Bai Chen's. Did Bai Chen really intend to lead them to escape? Everyone else thought Bai Chen wouldn't bother, because they didn't ask for help. Did Bai Chen want to save them?

As Mobius thought this, bitterness welled up in her heart. She had really messed up this time. Was she going to die here?

Mobius closed her eyes in pain. It was too late for everything now.

"Give up, Mobius. Everyone has actually accepted this outcome."

At that moment, an unexpected voice came from the side. Following the sound, she saw Elysia, who seemed to have arrived after the commotion.

Elysia's gaze lingered on the two demonic horns on Bai Chen's head for a moment before she reluctantly shifted her gaze and continued walking towards Mobius.

Other figures gradually appeared behind Elysia – everyone else left in the apartment.

"Wow, Sister Snake got beaten up badly."

Pardo peeked from the back of the crowd and said.

"Hmph, serves her right."

Chijie said irritably. He knew Mobius couldn't hold back. If he had known, he would have blocked Mobius's door first. She really had no bottom line!

"Mobius, you've gotten a bit smaller again."

Vill-V jumped in front of Mobius and taunted her.

"You guys!"

Ignoring Vill-V's taunts, Mobius looked at the crowd that had rushed to the scene in surprise.

What is this? Are you guys ganging up to beat me?

Bai Chen felt a bit lost as more people gathered around.

"With the commotion you caused, it's hard not to react."

Elysia pointed at the sky, which was split in two, and wore a helpless smile.

While they were fighting, the deafening thunder hadn't stopped. No one could sleep in such an environment!

"Elysia, you know that's not what surprised me."

Mobius said, suppressing her anger.

"Mobius, you're not the only genius, and you're not the only special one."

Vill-V answered her question from the side.

After hearing Vill-V's answer, Mobius looked at everyone present and found that they all had a look of acceptance on their faces.

"Precisely because we know our time is short, we're trying our best to enjoy this world?"

Elysia comforted the Mobius on the ground.

"Shut up! That's just an excuse for your incompetence! I can find a way out, and I must find it!"

At this moment, Mobius inexplicably thought of someone. She absolutely wouldn't allow this world to end like this.

"Bai Chen..."

Seele, who had followed the crowd, finally realized that the woman in front of her was Bai Chen. She then ran to Bai Chen's side and looked at him with concern.

"No, I'm fine."

Seeing Mobius's disbelief, Bai Chen felt quite helpless.

"Bai Chen, look."

At this moment, Griseo also walked up to Bai Chen and held up a painting.

Bai Chen subconsciously took the painting and found it depicted everyone eating together. He was sharing food with Pardo, while Mobius and Vill-V were fighting behind them.

Griseo had painted these scenes at some point. Everyone was in it, Seele was in it too. They were like a family...

In a daze, Bai Chen saw the home he might never return to again.

"Griseo, aren't you afraid of this world disappearing?"

Bai Chen held the painting Griseo had specifically made for him and asked the innocent Griseo.

"I don't know what it feels like for a world to disappear, but Griseo wants to stay with everyone like this, so everyone can be happy every day."

After thinking for a moment, Griseo slowly replied. Although she knew the world was about to be destroyed, she didn't know the pain of its destruction.

Perhaps she thought that disappearing with everyone wouldn't be a big deal.

Chapter Sixty-Six: Time to Go Back

[13/20]

[14/20]

[20/20]

[Task complete. Item upgraded. Bonus reward: Gacha pulls * 30]

After transforming back late at night, Bai Chen lay on his bed, idly staring at the ceiling. Scenes from the day flashed through his mind, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Putting aside the matter with Mobius, today had been incredibly fun. If he could, he wouldn't want to watch these people disappear.

But besides using spatial rifts to shuttle people back and forth, there really was no other good method.

As for Mobius's device... who knew what its real purpose was?

Mobius. She was currently imprisoned by Elysia, but Bai Chen didn't think he could just let her go. Even though she looked a dozen years younger after being struck by a sword, it didn't mean Bai Chen could reconcile with her.

He would definitely find an opportunity to make her pay for her actions today and regret them.

This uncle remembers grudges!

Bai Chen felt a sense of security with the strength he now possessed. The Herrscher of Thunder's Stigmata-enhanced state was truly powerful; he even felt he could easily defeat Durandal.

At that moment, Bai Chen truly felt invincible, though he could only last for three hours.

In the future, he wouldn't fear one-on-one battles, but consecutive fights might be an issue.

Or maybe not. If the power brought by each Stigmata was this immense, then even using the power of an A-rank Valkyrie could surpass most S-rank Valkyries without Stigmata.

I've become a bit invincible without even realizing it! Bai Chen thought smugly, completely unaware of how his mindset had become incredibly inflated.

Nothing else unexpected happened that night, and soon Bai Chen welcomed the next day.

Bai Chen felt the power within him. Indeed, the dimensional rift ability could be used, but he didn't know how much it would consume during normal use.

"Are you guys leaving?"

Elysia and Seele were already waiting for him in the lobby. Seele's eyes held unconcealed excitement; she had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

"Yes, I caused you trouble yesterday."

Bai Chen apologized politely. The hundred-meter-deep abyss left behind last night was still there, and going near it now gave a tingling, electric sensation. He wondered when it would return to normal.

"No, it's my fault. I underestimated your appeal to Mobius."

Elysia felt truly sorry. She had noticed when Bai Chen and Mobius first clashed yesterday, but since Bai Chen had the upper hand, she hadn't intervened.

"Bai Chen, can you transform into how you were yesterday? Can I touch those horns!"

Thinking of Bai Chen's horns when he transformed, Elysia excitedly stood up and reached out as if to caress the air.

This is probably my last chance. After today, I probably won't have the chance to touch those horns again.

But Elysia was destined not to touch those horns today.

"Sorry, Elysia. I can't transform into that state again in a short period."

Bai Chen scratched his head sheepishly.

"Eh?"

Elysia drooped her head in disappointment, then suddenly looked up, grabbing Bai Chen's head with both hands.

"Really, you should at least call me 'sister.' Such disrespect."

Elysia puffed out her cheeks, slightly annoyed, and pulled Bai Chen into a hug, vigorously ruffling his hair.

"I'm sorry, Sister Elysia."

Bai Chen yielded to Elysia's domineering affection.

"Hey, kid, catch."

Chijie walked out of the kitchen and tossed a transparent jar to Bai Chen.

Seeing the jar flying towards him, Bai Chen fumbled to catch it. He looked inside to see it filled with crystal-clear red liquid.

"Jie Ge's secret seasoning?"

Bai Chen happily stared at the item in his hand. He naturally wouldn't forget this after tasting it last night.

"Tch, no one's going to eat it anyway."

Hearing Bai Chen's words, Chijie turned away displeasantly, not wanting to see Bai Chen's grateful gaze.

"Kid, I don't know who you really are, but take care of yourself."

Chijie was silent for a long time before finally uttering this parting advice. He had enjoyed their time together last night. Beating up that woman Mobius had made him happy.

"Well then, everyone, I'm leaving. Goodbye."

Bai Chen looked at the people around him, some unfamiliar and some familiar, and a warmth flowed through his heart.

"Goodbye, everyone."

Seele, who hadn't spoken, also politely bid farewell.

Then, he waved and summoned a silver light curtain.

"Let's go."

Bai Chen tugged on Seele's sleeve and they both ran into the silver light curtain.

The moment Bai Chen and the others left, a trace of sadness touched Elysia's face.

They won't meet again, will they? Actually, there was something Elysia had never told Bai Chen.

Although the second Divine Key's function was rendered unusable due to the world's fragmentation, observation was still possible.

Last night, they used the second Divine Key to observe a world. This world bubble was originally scheduled to last for several months, but due to Bai Chen's unexpected arrival, the world bubble suddenly sank a large section.

It was as if someone had stepped on it, plunging it deeper into the Sea of Quantum!

This world probably only has two or three days left before it dissipates?

The reason the Thirteen Flame-Chasers didn't tell Bai Chen about this was their concern that he might be morally obligated by them and make an unwise decision.

Besides, Mobius's instrument hadn't been tested yet, so no one could guarantee it would definitely work.

It only accelerated the process; that child doesn't need to bear such a responsibility.

The Flame-Chasers made a collective decision, excluding Mobius.

A distorted sensation washed over him, Bai Chen's vision went black, and when they opened their eyes again, they were back at St. Freya.

He had just woken up there, but why was it dark here?

Bai Chen took out his communicator and found that everyone had a signal on it.

It seems my abilities are fine; this is my world.

He still had some power left; he should be able to take one more person with him!

"Seele, take this communicator first. You can directly call Bronya's sister."

Having made up his mind, Bai Chen quickly handed the communicator to Seele and then summoned a dimensional wall again, stepping inside.

"Is Bai Chen going to look for Elysia and the others?"

Although Seele hadn't done anything, she knew everything that had happened in that world. She also wanted to help the people of that world, but she couldn't.
