Fuck your mother.
Yaoyao jumped up on Leo's shoulder and pointed at the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard, cursing loudly.
If Yaoyao could shed tears, he would have cried his heart out for Benji. Hundreds of years of companionship had been interrupted by the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard before him.
"Being able to marry you is the happiest thing in my life."
Alice smiled, but she couldn't hide the tears streaming down her face.
The Thunderstorm Giant looked at Alice, whose eyes held a thousand words yet had no time to express them, and his heart trembled violently.
An endless sadness and desolation rose from the depths of my heart.
Powerless?
I'm truly powerless...
Even with unparalleled glory and a prominent position, these illusory things are of no use in the face of absolute power.
"To have you as my life partner is my greatest happiness."
The Thunderstorm Giant gently removed Alice from his shoulder and placed her in his hand.
But just as Alice was calmly preparing to accept death, she suddenly felt the Thunderstorm Giant's hand beneath her feet unleashing tremendous power.
"What are you doing?" Alice noticed the Thunderstorm Giant's movements and anxiously questioned him loudly.
"I don't know if I can succeed. I need to protect myself."
"Boom"
The Thunderstorm Giant took a sudden step forward, unleashing all its power in an instant, concentrating it all in its palm, and hurled Alice far away from the army of Fire Elemental Spirit.
The immense force sent Alice shattering the sound barrier in the air, and her protective shield, deformed rapidly, was very likely to break apart in the next second.
Seeing that the Fire Elemental Spirit did not stop him as he had guessed, the Thunderstorm Giant revealed a rare smile.
Leo didn't know if this method would succeed, but only by holding off the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard could he buy Alice a chance to survive.
When the Thunderstorm Giant turned to look at the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard, his expression instantly turned cold and filled with murderous intent.
All he needs to do now is stall the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard.
"Kill him, avenge Benji!" Yaoyao clenched her little paws, wishing she could scratch the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard's face all over.
The Thunderstorm Giant ripped open the Shadow Space with both hands, and the remaining fifty-odd atomic bombs all fell out.
"I've never been one to surrender easily, explode!!"
The Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard did not make a move immediately upon appearing was the only opportunity for Leo to act.
It must be said that after his soul was altered, the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard's movements became slower; otherwise, Leo would never have had the chance to make the first move.
With Leo's frantic detonation, more than fifty atomic bombs exploded at close range, unleashing endless light.
Beneath the Thunderstorm Giant's ferocious, suicidal expression, he finally saw the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard raise his hand.
The direction was exactly the same as the direction he had just thrown Alice!
"No"
The Thunderstorm Giant let out its final, desperate, and painful howl. An invisible force tried to emerge from the deepest part of its body, but in an instant, its powerful body was swallowed up by endless light.
Endless darkness
A faint point of light drifted like a lonely ghost.
It has no self-awareness, no self-cognition, nothing at all, and knows nothing.
Time has no meaning here, and space has no concept; only a faint point of light drifts endlessly within it.
The flickering lights seem to be an eternal theme in the dark world.
After an unknown amount of time, in a sudden moment, an urgent voice came from the darkness. Judging from the voice, it was Yaoyao.
" Leo, wake up!"
" Leo, Leo, wake up!"
" Leo, you son of a bitch, what time is it and you're still sleeping? Get up and avenge Alice and Benji!"
In the seemingly boundless darkness, calls echoed endlessly, but the faint point of light did not respond, as if it were just an ordinary point of light without any life or consciousness.
No matter how the voice shouted, the light spot remained unchanged!
After countless calls, and seeing no response from the point of light, a furious giant claw descended from the sky and firmly grasped the tiny point of light.
Then, without explanation or reason, it began to smash downwards wildly.
"Wake up! Wake up now! How long do you plan to sleep? Do you still want revenge?"
"You coward who only knows how to sleep, are you scared because you saw that the other party is Stigmata Wizard? Do you have any semblance of a Legendary Wizard? Coward, scum, pathetic man who can't walk alone at night, incompetent person who knows only to hide and cry when his wife dies..."
Accompanied by angry curses, the large claws continued to slam down relentlessly.
The light spot became like an egg in an egg beater, shaken vigorously countless times.
After an unknown amount of time, Big Claw got a little tired and slowed down, and the cursing also subsided considerably.
Finally, the faint point of light that had been smashed began to react, and the light gradually grew larger and brighter.
Seeing the change in the light, the claws that had reached down from the darkness stopped their smashing and smashing, and the cursing ceased as they waited for the light to transform.
"That's more like it. Grow up quickly, we still have so much to do."
The growing ball of light seemed to evolve through the entire embryonic development process. When it grew large enough, a human figure with closed eyes appeared within the ball of light.
The figure slowly opened its eyes, looking around at everything with a confused expression, yet seemingly aware of everything.
" Leo, you're finally awake."
Yaoyao shouted and kept touching Leo's body with her big paws, but Yaoyao's paws were probably a little too big. It was like using a hundred-story building to kick the back of a thatched hut. With just a light touch, she pushed Leo far away.
" Leo?"
Who is Leo? Who is Leo?
The figure, which was Leo, kept muttering the name over and over again. It felt very familiar, but he just couldn't remember what the name meant.
"You are Leo, Leo, Level Two Elemental Body Refinement Wizard in the Wizard World, Alice's lover, and my Yaoyao's soulmate."
"Don't let yourself sink any further; there are many things out there waiting for you to do."
Seeing Leo still unmoved and with dazed eyes, Yaoyao shouted anxiously.
" Alice? Yaoyao? A wizard?"
Leo repeated these familiar yet unfamiliar names, and for some reason, when he heard Alice, his entire body erupted with unimaginable pain.
Even though he shouldn't have any senses, the pain was still unbearable, as if his whole body was about to explode!
" Alice..."
"Ahhhh..."
Leo clutched his head, screaming in agony. A series of memories and images flooded his mind: from his birth on Earth, the Earth tearing apart, becoming a wizard, the expedition, marrying Alice, to the final explosion of over fifty nuclear bombs, the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard reaching out his hand in the direction Alice had fled...
Leo remembered all his memories.
Did you see that?
With his eyes, which had regained their composure, tightly closed, Leo asked Yaoyao the most painful question.
I want to know, yet I'm afraid to know.
Wanting to escape reality, yet having to face it...
Leo dared not open his eyes, as if burying his head in the desert to escape reality.
"I saw it. I believe you will avenge Alice."
After a long while, Yaoyao's mournful voice finally rang out in the dark world.
"Hahaha, I'm so useless, I can't even protect my own love."
Escaping was useless. Yaoyao's words shattered all of Leo's illusions. Leo's face was contorted with rage. Alice was dead, but he was still alive...
Leo's emotional fluctuations caused the light maintaining his body to become unstable, flickering and possibly going out at any moment.
"You need to calm down. This is not a fact you can change. The only thing you can do now is to wake up quickly and then avenge Alice."
"I believe Alice wouldn't want to see you so dejected. The world is so big, and there are so many strong people. Does death really mean death?"
"Perhaps there's still a chance for resurrection. Aren't those native worlds supposed to have many gods who control souls? Capture them, study them, and maybe we can save Alice."
Seeing Leo's light about to go out again, Yaoyao quickly comforted him. If Leo were to return to the light spot, she didn't know how long it would take to wake him up.
"Yes, I want to avenge Alice."
"I'll find a way to revive Alice. If level three doesn't work, then level four; if level four doesn't work, then level five. I refuse to believe I can't find a way to revive her."
Yaoyao's words brought Leo back to his senses. He wasn't dead, which meant that hope hadn't been extinguished and that everything was still going on.
"Since you were able to wake me up, you must know what's going on outside. Tell me."
Leo's memory was still stuck on the moment when more than fifty atomic bombs exploded. Although his defensive capabilities were abnormal, they were not enough to withstand the power of more than fifty atomic bombs exploding at close range.
So something must have happened later that allowed him to survive.
"At the moment of the explosion, your body was blown into several pieces. It was the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard who moved the epicenter of the nuclear explosion away. Although it was to reduce the damage to himself, it indirectly saved you as well."
"He originally intended to absorb your soul, but he didn't expect your soul to be anchored in the Shadow World, making it impossible to shake."
"Your Nuclear Radiation Great Witchcraft has been activated. Even with only a few pieces of your body remaining, it continues to regenerate, and so far, 80% of your body tissue has been restored. With just a little more energy, you will be fully recovered."
Yaoyao briefly recounted what happened next and explained to Leo why he survived.
"I see."
Leo endured endless sorrow; he had actually survived in this way.
On one hand, the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard transferred the nuclear explosion away; on the other hand, the soul was unshakable and could not be absorbed.
If any other wizard had encountered the same situation, they would have died countless times. It's only because he has a lot of ways to protect himself that he survived.
"But you need to wake up quickly. There are corpses all around the academy right now, and wild beasts might come at any time."
How long have I been wallowing in the deepest recesses of my consciousness?
