Cries

Paleness rapidly eroded the Bird-Clawed Monster Infant's "Otherworld," dimming the unfolding Wilderness and leaving only one color, indistinguishable from the surrounding destroyed Palace, Tower, and corridors.

This "Otherworld" has essentially lost its ability to separate the inside from the outside.

It is equivalent to having withered and died.

As the White Bone Giant Serpent collapsed, Lumian plummeted straight down, landing on the ruins scattered throughout the "Wilderness".

He used his back and waist to lean forward, did a somersault, and landed steadily, without using his Blazing White Flame Spear to avoid the damage from the fall.

--In this Paleness country, the power of the earth and the rules of the world seem to have been eroded; falling from a height of forty or fifty meters to the ground is equivalent to jumping from a house five or six meters high.

At this moment, the head of the Monster child Oseto also shrank back into the Paleness ball of flesh, and the Temperance Faction Half-God Sharon was forced to detach from its body, hovering in mid-air.

In the area near the main hall of "Death God," five or six terrifying-looking Undead, affected by the "Otherworld," staggered to their feet.

Among them were two giant snakes with wings on their backs and hairy corpses, Bluish-Black Giant that had swelled up due to extreme decay, Humanoid Mountain Peak made of white bones, and Women with hair as thick as snakes and two-thirds of her face ulcerated.

Each of these dead beings summoned by the Bird-Clawed Monster Infant instilled a powerful sense of oppression in "Knight of Swords" Maric.

As a "Prisoner" Pathway Sequence 5 who can control the Living Corpse, he felt completely unable to control these corpses, and the only outcome of forcibly awakening them would be being torn apart by the Corpse on the spot, his soul and flesh shattered.

The Corpse, some enormous, some terrifying, and some a combination of both, instantly locked onto Sharon, the Temperance Faction Half-God.

However, their movements were stiff and sluggish, as if they were affected by something and failed to launch an attack immediately.

Sharon can also manipulate the Living Corpse and control the Undead, and she is a true Half-God, with a higher status than the premature Bird-Clawed Monster Infant!

Sharon's distraction affected the former "Death God's " Attendant, giving Oseto's Monster child a chance at Rebirth. The Paleness ball of flesh bloomed like a flower stamen, spitting out a huge baby that looked as if it had been washed by pure lake water, while it itself quickly withered, turned Paleness, rotted, and fell to the ground.

Just as the giant infant re-spread its half- Paleness, half-brown wings, Sharon voluntarily relinquished her influence over the corpses.

Her Paleness Eyes reflected the Bird-Clawed Monster Infant floating in mid-air, its mouth opened, and it let out another scream that seemed to come from the Depths of its soul.

The giant baby froze instantly, transforming into a lamb covered in Paleness wool. Unable to fly or use any Extraordinary Ability, the lamb plummeted straight to the ground, crashing towards Lumian, who held the "Sword of Courage" in his hands.

"Transformation Curse!"

Without the Oseto Monster child to sustain it, the "Otherworld" gradually crumbled. The terrifying Corpse that had been awakened lost their foundation for existence and slowly ceased moving under the influence of the Paleness, collapsing into different parts of the Ruins.

The lamb, covered in Paleness down, looked as if it had suffered internal Corruption. As it fell, its skin cracked open, revealing half- Paleness, half-brown feathers. Its belly swelled and undulated, as if it were nurturing new life.

No living being can escape the Destiny of Corruption and given birth to by evil, not even an ordinary lamb!

These are the special traits of the "Lady" Pathway, and even the "Transformation Curse" cannot cause the corresponding Beyonder to lose these two traits!

Sharon never expected that the "Transformation Curse" alone could solve the problem of Oseto, the Premature Child. She seized the opportunity and let her Paleness figure enter the Eyes of the Mutation lamb.

The rate at which the lamb's belly swelled and expanded began to slow, and the rate of alienation caused by Corruption was no longer so rapid.

It continued its rapid descent towards the ground.

Standing on the ground, Lumian tilted his head back, a smile on his face, and raised his large Straight Sword, which was Burning with Blazing White and blue Flames.

Just as the lamb was about to enter his attack range, a spear formed from pure, blazing Sunlight shot out from the half-collapsed Tower.

"Knight of Swords" Maric, enduring considerable injury and terrifying pain once again, unleashed a spear that could illuminate the Paleness Spear of Sunlight.

This time, the Bird-Clawed Monster Infant, still in its lamb form, could no longer dodge, nor could it find any help to block the shot for it. It could only watch helplessly as the golden Spear of Sunlight pierced its abdomen and suddenly erupted.

Only then, as the scorching, Blazing White Sunlight engulfed the target, did the Temperance Faction Half-God Sharon, with the help of Lumian's Eyes and the pure gold within the nearby Ruins, use "Mirror Jump" to escape the Sunlight- drenched, Paleness area.

During this process, although the lamb's body helped shield her from the most direct damage caused by the burst of Sunlight, as Beyonder transformed into Evil Spirit, she still inevitably suffered quite severe effects.

When her figure appeared several hundred meters away on a gold pattern embedded in the wall, it had already faded considerably, and many waxy liquids dripped down like sweat.

Lumian was very close to the Paleness lamb, but he was full of Courage and did not flinch. He stood straight and firmly "welcomed" the approaching Sunlight.

Wearing the Golden Mask of the Aegis Family, he was engulfed in flames, his body charred and melting like Candle, causing him extreme Pain.

In other words, he wasn't located in the Core Area of Sunlight eruption, so most of the damage fell on the Bird-Clawed Monster Infant. Sharon also took some of the damage; otherwise, he might have been cleansed by the Spear of Sunlight in one hit.

Of course, the "Sword of Courage" helped him absorb half of the damage, so the actual injuries he suffered were not as severe as they appeared.

Lumian Teeth, advancing instead of retreating, half-raising his Paleness, corroded Straight Sword with both hands, and sprinted towards the spot where the Bird-Clawed Monster Infant was about to fall.

With a very slight thud, the Paleness lamb, mostly melted and eerily pale, fell onto a pile of broken, dull stones.

Lumian arrived a second later, his Eyes initially turning iron black, then Paleness.

He cleaved out the "Sword of Courage" with both hands.

Blazing White- tinged flame ignited, and the hard, sharp Straight Sword struck the Paleness lamb in the chest and abdomen.

The explosion wasn't loud, but the resulting flames and violent Impact sent surrounding debris flying and blasted a jagged, uneven gash into the Paleness lamb's chest and abdomen.

Boom! Boom!

Lumian resolutely swung his sword twice more, cleaving the Bird-Clawed Monster Infant -like creature's body into pieces, charred black in every direction.

The charred black was instantly replaced by a Paleness color, bringing out a sense of gloom and death.

Just as Lumian was about to unleash the "Sword of Courage" again, the body part containing the Paleness lamb's abdomen suddenly exploded, scattering rotting flesh and a strangely scented liquid all around.

Lumian instinctively swung the "Sword of Courage" into the void ahead, cleaving everything in its path.

With a deafening roar, Blazing White Flames and a violent Impact formed a solid wall, keeping the rotting flesh and the monstrous liquid at bay.

As the Paleness lamb's abdominal remains exploded, a small, ethereal figure covered in a layer of pure water, with bird claws and wings, flew out and headed straight for the Pitch-Black Bird Egg beneath the Ancient Death God's Corpse.

This time, the Bird-Clawed Monster Infant, which had degenerated into a phantom, was no longer cautious, no longer circling and slowly approaching.

"Knight of Swords" Maric could no longer throw the Spear of Sunlight, as that would completely obliterate his severely wounded state in the light that illuminated all shadows. He could only spread his arms, allowing Sacred Pillar of Light of light, Entanglement in clear Flames, to descend from the sky and envelop the phantom of the Bird-Clawed Monster Infant flying towards the top of the "Death God" main hall.

The Bird-Clawed Monster Infant's figure vanished and reappeared in an instant, dodging the attack of the Sacred Pillar of Light, but was then locked onto by the Paleness Eyes of Sharon, the Temperance Faction Half-God.

Sharon instantly transformed into a dull, lifeless Puppet, sealing herself away with layers of ice.

As it did this, layers of crystalline ice rose around the Bird-Clawed Monster Infant, temporarily fixing its figure in place, preventing it from disappearing or moving forward.

The Bird-Clawed Monster Infant raised its head, letting its wailing screams echo within the Ice Prison.

The Ice Prison shattered and disintegrated silently.

The clear, pure water on the surface of the Bird-Clawed Monster Infant's body was sprayed onto the Corpse of the Ancient Death God, turning into crystal-clear, Paleness pale Golden liquid.

These liquids, drawn together by some force, converged into a river, carrying the Bird-Clawed Monster Infant towards the Pitch-Black Bird Egg Burning with Pale Flame.

Upon witnessing this scene, Lumian instinctively tried to avoid the Ancestor of the Phoenixes' Corpse. He leaned back, raised his arm, and hurled the "Sword of Courage" from his hand.

The Straight Sword, pale from Paleness but Burning with Blazing White- blue Flames, was like a self-aware Cannonball, swiftly traversing hundreds of meters and landing on the Bird-Clawed Monster Infant, leaving a trail of fire in mid-air.

"Locking"!

Rumble!

Near the Pitch-Black Bird Egg, the sky churned with expanding, Blazing White flames, and a Paleness cloud resembling a Mushrooms rose from it.

Silently, amidst the ever-expanding flames and clouds, charred pieces of corpses, like phantom images, fell to the ground, as if a dust Torrential Rain had begun.

The dust had already turned Paleness before it even landed, and some of it was blown by the wind and sprinkled onto the Pitch-Black giant egg.

Almost simultaneously, Lumian heard the illusory shattering sound and felt his "Reaper" Potion completely digested.

Before he could even feel happy, his mind and consciousness, protected by the Golden Mask of the Aegis Family, were filled with fear and dread.

He lowered his head, knelt on the ground, hugged himself, and trembled.

He only wanted to obey the commands of the Corpse of the Ancestor of the Phoenixes.

As Undead, he lost his "Courage," and even his vision began to darken.

Thump, splash... In extreme fear, Lumian heard the sound of his heart beating and the sound of blood flowing.

It came from something not far ahead, from within this Pale Kingdom.

That resonated strangely with Lumian.

Faintly, Lumian heard a piercing cry:

"Child!

"My child!"

Who is your child? And who are you? These two thoughts crossed Lumian's mind subconsciously.

The piercing cries continued:

My child, where are you?

The voice paused for a moment, then rose slightly:

Ombella, where are you?
