Chapter 380: Good Friends are Consistent

One second Gao Yang burned X had a three-second effect, and soon, X was burned to a crisp, unable to fight back. And losing the protection of its host’s energy, the purple eye in Gao Yang’s grasp became nothing but a lump of human tissue, incredibly fragile.

Splat.

Gao Yang easily crushed the eye like crushing a viscous jelly.

Two seconds later, X toppled to the ground without a sound. There wasn’t even pain in his eyes, only confusion.

Why?

Why did things end up like this for me?

Sir Zuo, you seem to have gotten the wrong guy.

It seems that I’m not the one chosen by fate, that I’m not the one to become God.

I can’t accept this. Things can’t end like this!

At his last moment in life, X, having been burned to charred flesh and blood, pushed his eyes open and gave Gao Yang a final look with his quickly dimming eyes.

“It’s all fate... You...can’t win...”

“Haha, hahahaha...”

His mad laughter came to a sudden stop.

X was dead.

Gao Yang didn’t look joyous as the victor. Instead, his expression grew darker, having understood X’s unspoken words.

From Surnamed Li’s prophecy of the Crimson Tide to what all the awakeners had done up to this point, everything seemed to be bringing about the fate that had been foretold.

Even their resistance was part of fate.

After X’s death, his Poison of Hell stopped, and the poison inside the awakeners\' bodies subsided.

Most awakeners would live, but not without a great toll taken. They had lost consciousness and wouldn’t wake up until much later.

The restraint on Lilia, however, would only last two minutes.

When she was released from the space gap, there would be no one around who could be her match.

Gao Yang quickly dropped down, finding the Poison Rune Circuit on X’s body and putting it away.

“Teacher Qi Ying!” Alcoholic called out to him.

Gao Yang got up and turned around. Lilia had reappeared.

From above the empty crossroad, a gust of wind elements supported her and brought her slowly down on the ground.

Under the blood moon, her red hair danced. Combined with her eerie, different-colored eyes, she looked like a fallen angel.

The final fight commenced officially.

“Teacher Qi Ying...”

Gao Yang looked to the side. Alcoholic was already turning translucent.

“I’m sorry that I can’t stay and fight with you... My time here is running out,” Alcoholic said with frustration.

Gao Yang was taken by surprise by how short her stay was, but thinking back, it made sense.

Time-travel itself required a great amount of Alcoholic’s energy. According to what Qilin said, Alcoholic could only travel in time once every year, and she could not travel to the same period of time twice.

Earlier, Alcoholic had opened up a space gap, which consumed a great amount of energy, and then she helped Gao Yang kill X. All that left her with too little energy to stay in this period of time.

Alcoholic chuckled. “Over the past ten years, so many things have happened. I’d love to have a good chat with Teacher.”

Gao Yang nodded. “Many things have happened over the past ten days on my end.”

“Teacher Qi Ying, we would see each other again, right?”

Would they?

Gao Yang asked himself how he was going to defeat the powerful enemy before him. He wasn’t even in the same league as Lilia. To make an analogy, the gap between them was that between the gold rank and the diamond rank.

“We will see each other again.” Gao Yang pushed aside the thoughts and gave her groundless reassurance.

“Good—”

Alcoholic didn’t get to utter ‘bye’ before she disappeared. A gentle and lonesome energy rippled around her.

Gao Yang no longer had an ally.

Would he have to fight on his own now?

From a short distance, Lilia slowly walked toward him.

Gao Yang raised his voice and asked, “Who’s Mad Red to you? Why did he call you sister?”

Lilia paused but didn’t stop walking. “Back when we were both humans, we called each other brother and sister. Many test subjects had died, leaving only me and him alive.”

“To facilitate the perfect merging of Epilogue and me, Mad Red sacrificed half of his soul, but he was rewarded accordingly.”

So that was why Mad Red seemed to have a few screws loose in his head. He had sacrificed himself. And when he said that his sister had died, it wasn’t that Lilia had actually died, but merged with a pride monster.

If Gao Yang had known nothing about the evil deeds the Godbearer Cult had done, he wouldn’t have been able to make sense of the story.

“Was Mad Red’s reward your Detonation?” Gao Yang asked.

“Yes.” Lilia nodded. “But I don’t need Detonation anyway given I have Elemental.”

“Elemental, serial number 4, the top Element-type Talent, which allows the manipulation of multiple elements and the combination of them to form new elements.”

“Explosion is naturally part of it.”

Her hand lifted, Lilia snapped her fingers at Gao Yang.

With a start, Gao Yang teleported immediately.

Boom!

Half a second later, the ground at Gao Yang’s feet blew up as if a few landmines had been buried underground and detonated.

Gao Yang dodged to the air, shocked. When did she inject the road under my feet with energy? How did she trigger an explosion from such a long distance with a snap of her fingers?

Swish, swish, swish.

Three long, thin, twisted red snakes of light shot toward Gao Yang. He barely dodged it with another teleport.

As soon as he landed, Lilia quickly approached at incredible speed, kicking at him.

Shit!

Gao Yang crossed his arms before his chest to block the kick. It felt like getting hit by a car, and Gao Yang flew away.

Clang!

Gao Yang flew into a vending machine by the road and fell, rolling on the ground. His arms felt numb from the impact. Perhaps the bones had been broken, but he didn’t have the time to care.

The moment he stood up with his teeth clenched, Lilia was already hovering above his head, and there was a cage of red light beams around him, preventing Gao Yang from teleporting away.

Lilia splayed her hand at Gao Yang, about to shoot a large deadly ray at him.

There was no way to go. He would be doomed if she fired!

Lilia, however, didn’t manage to make the shot.

Her eyes glinted sharply. At some point, the fire hydrants on the road had all burst open, and water gushed out in large volume, dyed red by the moonlight. The entire road was covered in a thin layer of water. With the red fog at half a meter tall obscuring the road, though, it was difficult to notice at first glance.

A dense wall of purple water droplets appeared around Lilia like a downpour frozen in time, trapping Lilia and leaving her with nowhere to go.

“Mist Burial!”

White Dew spoke in her gentle voice, yet the emotions she conveyed were aggressive.

At that moment, tens of thousands of sharp, hardy purple droplets converged toward Lilia, hitting her like bullets and sputtering blinding purple sparks.

As if countless firecrackers had blown up around Lilia, purple mist spread.

Then a cloaked figure gracefully landed by Gao Yang’s side. Gao Yang turned to look and realized that it was Fresh Snow.

“Gao Yang, I’m here!”

Fresh Snow grabbed Gao Yang’s elbow. With a simple swing of her hand, the cage of red light beams instantly cracked without a sound.

Gao Yang teleported Fresh Snow away.

“Why are you here, Fresh Snow?” Gao Yang was pleasantly surprised.

“I’m here to save you!”

Fresh Snow’s excited smile had an innocence to it, as if all this was but a fun game. “Good friends should be consistent!”
