"Mary·Campbell." John's voice was a little nervous, but extremely firm, "I know that you are very sad now, and I know that it may not be the right time for me to say this. But I want to tell you that no matter what happens, I will stay with you and stay with you for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?"
Mary looked at him, tears fell again, and nodded while choking. Just as she was about to say the words "I do," the car door was suddenly opened violently, and a hand reached in and pulled her out of the car.
Mary fell to the ground, looked up, and was stunned for a moment - standing in front of her was Samuel, who was supposed to be dead. His stomach was still bleeding, with a weird smile on his face, and a yellow light flashed in his eyes.
"Dad?" Mary's voice trembled, his face full of disbelief, "What are you doing? You're not..."
"I'm not dead, right?" Azazel controlled Samuel's body, smiled, and said in a cruel tone, "It's a pity that your father has died a long time ago."
John immediately opened the door and rushed down, blocking in front of Mary, shouting at Samuel, "Hey, don't touch her! Who are you?"
Azazel sneered, waved his hand impatiently, and a burst of black magic instantly broke out. John's neck made a clear snapping sound. He didn't even hum, and fell to the ground, completely out of breath.
"John!" Mary let out a heartbreaking cry, threw himself on John, hugged his cold body, collapsed and cried, "John! Wake up! Wake up!"
"Both your parents are gone, and so is your lover. They are all dead. I'm afraid that's the case." Azazel squatted down and looked at the collapsed Mary, with a bewitching tone in his tone, "Now you are an orphan Mary."
Mary stood up suddenly, took out a dagger from his waist, and pointed it at Azazel, tears streaming down his face, his eyes full of hatred and despair. "You bastard. I'm going to kill you, I swear to God."
"Sticks and stones may break my Bones, but they can't save your family." Azazel smiled and didn't care, "Listen, we just said some hurtful words, why not Let's shake hands and make peace. I'm telling you, I can bring your sweetheart to life. Think about it, a white picket fence, a station wagon, and have a few kids. I guarantee you can live like this. I can give you all the ordinary life you want."
Mary paused for a moment, and a trace of wavering flashed in his eyes.
"What?" her voice trembled, "At the cost of my soul?"
"No, you keep your soul for yourself." Azazel shook his head, his tone was bewildering, "I only need a permission."
"Permission for what?"
"Ten years later, I'm going to your house to get something." Azazel smiled, "Relax. As long as no one disturbs me then, no one will be hurt. I promise. Your parents will rest in peace, your lover will live, and you will live the stable life you want. What a good deal, isn't it?"
Mary looked at the dead John in her arms, tears couldn't stop falling, and the defense in her heart completely collapsed. She slowly put down the dagger in her hand, nodded while crying, and was about to agree to this devil's deal.
At this moment, the roar of a car came from the distance, and Dean's roar pierced the night sky, "Mary, don't agree!"
Dean and Bai Haorui drove the car, rushed over like crazy, and stopped suddenly by the river. The two pushed open the car door and rushed over quickly. True Fire shot out from Bai Haorui's fingertips, accurately hitting between Mary and Azazel. The hot air wave instantly interrupted the conclusion of the contract between the two.
The devil's transaction must be voluntary by both parties. The moment the verbal contract is established, the soul will be bound. Bai Haorui's blow just interrupted the critical moment of establishing the contract.
"Mary! Don't believe his lies!" Bai Haorui shouted, and the True Fire around him was ready to go, "What he wants is nothing else but the child in your belly. future! Ten years later, he will stand next to your son's crib, feed him his demon blood, turn your child into his weapon, and burn you alive! This deal is for your life and your child's life! Don't agree to him!"
Mary woke up instantly, the wavering in her eyes disappeared, replaced by full of hatred. She raised the dagger again and pointed it at Azazel.
Azazel turned to look at Dean and Bai Haorui, who were rushing over. His face instantly darkened, and his eyes were full of cruelty. "It's you two lingering things again. You ruined my good deeds again and again. Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"
Dean raised the Colt gun in his hand and pointed it at Azazel, his eyes full of hatred and determination. Mary held up the dagger and blocked his retreat from the side. The three formed an encirclement, trapping Azazel in the middle.
At this moment, Samuel's body suddenly moved, and his eyes returned to clarity. It was the remnant soul that Bai Haorui had protected before, and he woke up with his last breath.
Samuel used all his strength to raise the shotgun behind his waist, pointed it at his chest, looked at Azazel, and shouted with all his strength, "Get out of my body...!"
Before he finished speaking, he pulled the trigger.
There was a "bang" gunshot, and the silver bullet passed through Samuel's chest and hit Azazel accurately. Azazel was caught off guard and let out a shrill scream. The black smoke was forced out of Samuel's body, and the devil's body was completely exposed in front of the three people.
That's it now!
Bai Haorui seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, quickly formed seals with both hands, and chanted the demon-suppressing spell "Three Altars Body-Refining True Fire Art" in his mouth. The golden fire between his eyebrows completely lit up, and the red-gold all over his body True Fire exploded instantly, forming a circular True Fire cage with a diameter of three meters. [Three Altars Demon-Locking Formation] took shape instantly, trapping the black smoke body of Azazel inside.
Every barrier of the cage is covered with dense True Fire runes. The power of pure Yang is condensed to the extreme. When Hell's evil power comes into contact, it will be instantly dissolved. Azazel's black smoke crazily collided with the cage. Every time it hit, it would be burned by True Fire and make a sizzling sound. He let out a shrill scream. The black smoke became lighter and lighter. His power was rapidly lost under the burning of Pure Yang True Fire.
Bai Haorui gritted his teeth. In Bone Refinement into Steel's meridians, the power of pure Yang was running wildly. Cold sweat oozed from his forehead. He tried his best to maintain Demon-Locking Formation and not let Azazel has no chance to escape. This is the most powerful trapping and killing formation that Fifth Realm can cast. Once it is formed, the demon will never be able to escape unless he takes the initiative to withdraw from the formation or dies from exhaustion.
"Dean! It's now! Shoot!" Bai Haorui shouted at Dean, his voice was hoarse with a hint of strength.
Azazel struggled crazily in the True Fire cage, letting out heart-piercing screams. The black smoke was burned by True Fire and became lighter and lighter. He could feel that his demonic core was being eroded little by little by the power of pure Yang. He looked at Dean holding Colt gun, and fear showed in his eyes for the first time.
Dean held up Colt gun with extremely determined eyes, looking at the devil in the cage who had ruined his life, killed his mother, and destroyed his entire family. The hatred of more than twenty years completely broke out at this moment. He steadily pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
The gunshot rang out, and Colt gun's bullet, carrying the power of destroying demons, instantly passed through the rune gaps in True Fire's cage and accurately hit Azazel's demonic core.
Azazel let out a heart-rending scream, and the black smoke dissipated little by little under the magic-breaking power of Colt bullets and the double burning of Pure Yang True Fire. Not even a single soul was left behind, and completely disappeared into the air. This evil-doing Yellow-Eyed Demon was completely shaken at this moment.
The True Fire cage dissipated, and Bai Haorui swayed a little, then immediately stabilized his body, rushed over and squatted next to Samuel, condensed a wisp of pure True Fire on his fingertips, continued to nourish his remaining soul, and tried his best to save his life.
On the other side, Mary rushed to John, hugged his cold body, collapsed and cried, and kept shaking him. "John! Wake up! Wake up!"
At this moment, John suddenly coughed, opened his eyes suddenly, gasped for air, and looked at Mary next to him blankly. Just now When Bai Haorui rushed over, he quietly used a ray of True Fire to protect John's heart and saved his life. However, his neck was twisted and he did not recover for a while.
Mary was stunned for a few seconds. He looked at John who had woken up and burst into tears of joy. He hugged him and broke down crying, "John! You're awake! You're okay! Great! You're okay!"
"Mary?" John looked at her blankly and touched his neck, "What happened? How did I..."
"I just... let me take it easy, okay?" Mary hugged him, tears couldn't stop falling, but with the joy of regaining something.
"Okay." John patted her back gently and comforted her gently.
Dean stood there, looking at Mary and John embracing each other, and then looked around him. Bai Haorui used True Fire to stabilize his breath, and slowly opened his eyes. Samuel collapsed on the ground, crying with joy, and his tears couldn't stop falling.
"We succeeded... we killed Azazel! We did it!" Dean laughed and cried, trembling all over, "Mom will not die! Tragedy will not happen! We won!"
Bai Haorui looked at him, breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and nodded. "Yes. We succeeded."
Dean: God ah... we really did it. I saved my mother, my grandparents, and John. Winchester Family The tragedy will never happen again. Sam will never be fed the blood of demons again, our family will not be broken up, we will not hunt demons for the rest of our lives, and we will never lose each other again. This time, we won. I finally protected my family.
Bai Haorui: It actually succeeded... we killed Azazel in this timeline? Could it be that... our great author fell asleep?
The night was gentle, and the wind by the river carried the smell of green grass. Dean was hugging John and Mary, talking ecstatically and sharing his joy incoherently. Samuel also woke up. Although he was weak, his life was not in danger. He looked at the hugging family with a gentle smile on his face.
Bai Haorui stood aside, watching this heartwarming scene with a smile on his lips. At this moment, the golden fire between his eyebrows suddenly started beating crazily, and a familiar and domineering sacred aura instantly appeared behind him.
Bai Haorui turned around suddenly, lifted the True Fire around him instantly, and held the mahogany sword across his chest. He saw Castiel standing not far away, looking at them expressionlessly. The hem of the trench coat did not move at all, and there was no emotion in his blue eyes.
Dean also saw Castiel, stood up immediately, with a face full of ecstasy and pride, and said to him with a smile, "Hey! Did you see it? We did it! We killed Azazel! We changed the past! Mary will not die! Sam and I will not have our families broken up again! Did you see it? We broke fate!"
Castiel's eyes showed no emotion at all, and his tone was as cold as ice. "You haven't changed anything."
The smile on Dean's face froze for an instant, and he froze in place, looking at him in disbelief. "What did you say? We clearly killed Azazel! He will no longer feed Sam with demon blood, and will not burn Mary to death again! We have clearly changed everything!"
"This is one of countless parallel universes." Castiel's voice was still steady, but it was like a knife, piercing Dean's heart. "The past of the main timeline where you are is already an established fact. Time cannot be rewritten, but can only be observed. Nothing you do here can affect your own world."
Dean was stunned on the spot, and it took more than ten seconds for him to fully react. His eyes turned red instantly, and he rushed up and grabbed Castiel by the collar, shouting hysterically, "You fart! You clearly said you wanted me to stop this! You lied to me! You bastard! You lied to me from beginning to end!"
Castiel waved his hand gently and pushed Dean away. His tone remained calm. "I never said I would let you prevent Mary's death. I never brought you here to let you change the past."
Bai Haorui walked forward and stood next to Dean, staring at Castiel with cold eyes. True Fire around him was ready to go, and his tone was cold. "Then why did you bring us here? What on earth do Heaven want to do?"
Castiel's eyes fell on Dean and said word by word, "In order for you to see the truth with your own eyes. The truth about your brother and what Azazel did to him. From the time he was still Azazel has been feeding him demon blood since he was a baby. That thing has been integrated into his blood, which is why he has those super powers, and this is why he is mixed up with Ruby."
Dean froze on the spot, his whole body was cold, as if a basin of ice water had been poured from head to toe, and his mind went blank.
"Sam..." He muttered to himself, his voice trembling.
"We know that Azazel has a plan, a plan much bigger than we imagined. Apocalypse has been opened, 66 seals are being broken one by one by Lilith, and Lucifer is about to awaken." Castiel's tone was still cold, "We need you, Dean·Winchester. We need you to stop everything that happens to Sam. If you can't, we will take action. When the time comes, the consequences will not be something you can bear."
Dean stood there, and the Colt gun in his hand fell to the ground. The ecstasy and hope on his face completely disappeared, leaving only endless despair and collapse. He looked at Mary and John embracing each other not far away, and looked at Samuel who woke up., looking at this perfect, tragedy-free family he dreamed of, knew that none of it belonged to him. Everything he tried his best to change was, after all, just an illusion from another universe. In his own world, his mother still died in the fire, his grandparents still passed away early, Apocalypse was still turned on, and nothing had changed.
"The time has come. It's time for you to go back."
Castiel stretched out two fingers, the fingertips glowing with white light, and placed them precisely on the foreheads of Dean and Bai Haorui. The dazzling white light swallowed the two of them instantly, Dean felt like the world was spinning, with the sound of howling wind in his ears, and the laughter of Mary and John. Then he completely lost consciousness and the screen fell into darkness.
Dean: It turns out... it's all fake. Everything I tried my best to change was just a dream after all. I still couldn't save my mother or prevent the tragedy. Fate... is irreversible after all. I can't change anything.
Bai Haorui: Heaven's calculation is deeper than I imagined. From the beginning, they never thought about letting us change the past. They just wanted Dean to see clearly The truth about Sam made him stand on the side of Heaven and become a pawn against Lucifer. The chess game of Apocalypse has already begun. And we are all pawns on the chessboard.
Dean woke up suddenly on the motel bed, gasping for air, with cold sweat all over his forehead, and despair and collapse still in his eyes. He sat up suddenly and looked at the familiar motel room, the stains on the wall, the beer bottles on the table, and the familiar night scene outside the window. He finally realized that he was back in his own timeline.
Bai Haorui was sitting on the chair next to him, looking at him with worry in his eyes. The room was in a mess, and the tables and chairs were overturned, which were the traces left by the energy impact when the two of them traveled through time and space just now.
In Dean's hand, there is still a piece of paper, left by Castiel, with an address written on it and a line of words: He is with Ruby.
"You're awake." Bai Haorui looked at him with a gentle tone.
Dean's voice was hoarse, and he looked at Bai Haorui, his eyes full of confusion and pain. "Is everything just now... all true? In that perfect world, we killed Azazel... is it all true?"
"It's true." Bai Haorui nodded, speaking calmly, "In that parallel world, we did kill Azazel and changed their destiny. They will live a stable and happy life, and no more tragedies will happen. But in our world, nothing has changed."
Dean lowered his head, clasped the sheets under him with both hands, trembling all over, and tears couldn't stop falling on the sheets. "After all, I still couldn't save her... After all, I still couldn't change anything. I tried my best, but in the end I couldn't do anything."
Bai Haorui stood up, walked to him, patted his shoulder gently, and said in a gentle but firm tone, "Dean, you have tried your best. It's not like you haven't changed anything. At least, you know the truth. You know what happened to Sam."
Dean raised his head and wiped away the tears on his face. The confusion and collapse in his eyes slowly dissipated, replaced by incomparable firmness and determination. He clenched the note in his hand, and his knuckles turned white.
"Sam... He has been lying to me." Dean's voice was cold, "He has been cooperating with Ruby and drinking the blood of the devil. He knew that it would destroy him, but he still did it."
"What we should do now is to find him and stop him from continuing his mistakes." Bai Haorui looked at him with a serious tone, "Lilith is breaking the seal, Apocalypse has already started, and Lucifer is about to wake up. We can no longer fight among ourselves, we must unite to stop all this."
Dean nodded, held the note in his hand, stood up, picked up the pistol on the table, tucked it behind his waist, checked Colt gun again, and loaded the bullet. He took a deep breath, and the fragility in his eyes completely disappeared, and he turned back to the fearless Dean·Winchester.
"Let's go." Dean's tone was extremely firm, "Let's go find Sam."
The black Ford car was parked in the corner of the parking lot. Sam got into the passenger seat, took out a tissue, and wiped the remaining blood at the corner of his mouth. There was a trace of confusion and a trace of cruelty in his eyes. His pupils were slightly black, and he had a faint devilish aura. He was completely different from the gentle and kind Sam before.
Ruby started the car, glanced at him, and smiled, "How do you feel? Is your strength a lot stronger?"
Sam didn't speak, just nodded and looked out the car window in the direction of the motel, his eyes full of guilt.
Ruby sneered, "Thinking about your brother again? Sam, we have reached this point, there is no turning back. Either drink my blood, become strong enough, kill Lilith, and stop Apocalypse, or wait for the world to be destroyed, and wait for Dean to die in front of you. Make your own choice."
Sam closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, the confusion in his eyes disappeared, leaving only determination.:Dean, I'm sorry. I have no way back. Once I kill Lilith and stop Apocalypse, you can punish me however you want. Even if you hate me, even if you don't want to recognize me as your brother anymore, I have to do this. I can't lose you again.
In the closed warehouse, the incandescent lamp above the head had poor contact. Under the flickering light, the Devil's Trap painted with pig blood on the ground glowed with a sticky dark light. A man was tightly tied to a chair with iron chains, with veins bulging in his neck, and his pupils turned into pure ink black. He was sneering maliciously at the Sam in front of him.
Ruby was leaning in the shadow of the load-bearing pillar on the second floor, turning a silver-handled dagger carelessly on his fingertips, the toe of his boot lightly tapping the ground, his eyes falling on Sam, with a bit of scrutiny and a bit of satisfaction.
In the fire escape mezzanine on the second floor of the warehouse, Dean's body was pressed against the cold iron wall, breathing heavily through his nostrils. He stared at the scene downstairs, his jaw clenched too tightly, the muscles around his cheeks kept twitching, and there was anger in his eyes - he had just returned from 1973.
Bai Haorui stood half a step away from him, surrounded by an imperceptible Pure Yang True Fire barrier. The light golden fire pattern enveloped the breath of the two of them like flowing water, without even a trace of their vitality leaking out. The golden fire between the eyebrows was beating slightly, Spiritual Sense was like a fine net, spreading All over the warehouse. He clearly felt that the vicious energy of the demon blood was slowly flowing along Sam's meridians, intertwined with the power in his body, like gangrene attached to the bone; he also felt the mania of the demon in the tied man's body, and the deeply hidden coldness in Ruby's body that belonged to Hell.
"Where is Lilith?" Sam's voice was very low, with a trace of imperceptible fatigue, and the stiffness of restraining anger after being provoked.
The possessed man grinned, showing his yellow teeth, and the sarcasm in his tone almost overflowed. "Kiss my ass, Winchester."
The man's pupils were completely engulfed in darkness, and the devil's roar rolled out of his throat, "What? Just because you are Sam·Winchester, the famous hero? But now you are hanging out with a demon whore, what kind of hero do you think you are?"
