Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Kant’s expression was wooden.

The pain of tearing his soul apart, the chaotic memory fragments in his mind, the failed hunting plan, and the escaped Tracy…Everything had already dissipated.

He looked at the vast and flowing purple river, which was filled with countless high-purity demonic gifts. It churned and flowed, corroding everything. Its origin was unknown, and its flow was unknown.

Ah Xing had fallen into the river just now.

All of this happened too quickly, and he didn’t even come back to his senses.

It wasn’t that his thinking had weakened, but that his brain refused to process such information.

He suddenly thought of the wind and flowers in the Saint Seal Islands, the crazy and terrifying days when he had just transmigrated, the day when he saw a pure white gorilla, the year when he went from fear to longing to despair and numbness. There was always that white figure sitting beside him, looking at him without saying a word. Every time he poured out his heart and exploded, she would always listen quietly.

He thought about how they had once walked to every corner of the island together. Sometimes there was a parrot on his shoulder, sometimes there was a pigeon, but the one following behind him was definitely Ah Xing.

He also thought of the chaotic and bloody night in Bright Sand. Looking at the knight who had turned into starlight and disappeared, he swore that he would never let this happen again, but now he watched her fall into this terrifying river that was no different from lava to living beings. There was no struggle or splash.

“Ah Xing!”

Kant’s eyes turned red. He roared and wanted to rush down, but Long Niang grabbed him tightly. The power of a dragon was so strong that even his strengthened body could not break free.

“Kant! Don’t be rash!”

“Let me go!”

Kant roared. He transformed into a stream of light and entered the world of white fog. The next moment, he appeared near the silver dragon and escaped its grasp. Speed up!”

“Father, now…” the Transformer said sternly.

“Shut up!” Kant roared,” Otherwise, scram!”

“I refuse! Father! I have the responsibility to ensure that you do the right thing!”

“Then come with me to find Ah Xing!”

“Listen, Father, I don’t want to say anything that I shouldn’t, but if…”

“There are no ifs!” Kant roared,” If I can’t find him, I’ll kill this bastard even if I have to go to Earth to get a nuclear bomb! Didn’t he want to restore the glory of the dragon race? Then I’ll raze Dragon Island to the ground. I’ll drain every dragon’s blood. I’ll make the dragon race completely extinct!”

” Calm down!” Lily flew over in her human form and grabbed Kant. He had to be calm now! Kant, now is not the time to be impulsive. We must…”

Kant’s eyes were bloodshot and his body was trembling. He gritted his teeth and breathed hard like a furious lion. He stared at Lily and said through his teeth,” Leave. You have to leave now. Stay far away. Go to the surface. I can’t guarantee what will happen next.”

“Kant!” Long Niang grabbed Kant’s wrist like an iron pincer.” We have to leave first!”

“Let go!”

At that moment, the River of Origin was turbulent. Water splashed everywhere. The huge and distorted body flapped its wings and flew out. Eight sharp whips pierced through the air.” Kant!”

Taking advantage of the moment to catch his breath, Tracy, who had exchanged blows with Ah Xing, also took the opportunity to rush into the River of Origin. The mysterious elements that flowed endlessly instantly entered his body, and the mutated dragon devoured and absorbed them wantonly. Energy filled his entire body, repairing the damage and strengthening his body. In almost an instant, he was almost fully recovered!

” Go to hell!” The twisted monster laughed maniacally and attacked Kant.

The eight whips pierced through the air, breaking through the speed of sound and arriving in an instant. Lily’s expression changed abruptly. She pushed Kant far away, clenched her fists, and turned around to attack.

However, she and Kant were still in a state of shock because of the incident with the gorilla. The previous quick attack had consumed a lot of energy. The fast punch had blocked the first wave of surprise attacks. However, Tris had been replenished by the River of Origin. At this time, the power of distortion circulating in his body was used to attack. While Lily had not regained her strength, four more whips came quietly.

Blood splattered everywhere. Kant was in midair when he saw a sharp blade pierce through Lily’s lower abdomen and tear open the flesh on her back. A few drops of golden dragon blood fell from the sharp blade.

The other few whips turned into tentacles and quickly came from all directions.

Lily was the sacrifice.

” Run!” Long Niang swung her fist with all her might to disperse the restless tentacles. However, the whip blade that pierced through her body continuously seeped out mysterious elements and infected the silver dragon’s body. She roared,” Run!”

Armor-piercing bullets were fired at high speed, piercing through the twisted whip blade. Kant rushed over and grabbed the twisting whip that had pierced Lily’s body.

The Flame Stealer’s power was activated at full speed. Kant roared and pulled hard, extracting and destroying the whip. The tough whip snapped with a sound. Tracis, who was below, roared in pain.” What kind of power is this?!”

Kant hugged Lily. A gash appeared on Dragon Maiden’s abdomen. Golden dragon blood and purple liquid surged within. The noble bloodline resisted the corrosion of the aberrations.

“Let’s go!” she said with a pale face. Let’s go! We need reinforcements!”

“Father, we must leave!”

Horus made a decision on his own, and the vortex spout blasted out a wave of air and flew upward.

Kant pressed down on Lily’s lower abdomen. The power of the Fire Stealer seeped into her body and extracted the life-corroding venom.

“You can’t escape!”The beasts below roared wildly.

The Aberrant Dragon’s condition had been fully restored. Waves of air rumbled as it closed the distance between it and Kant.

“Father!”

“Hurry up and bring her back to the White Fog World!” Horus shouted. We have to retreat immediately!”

Ah Xing was missing, Lily was seriously injured, and now she could no longer fight against Tricia, who had the River of Origin as his back. This operation could be said to have been a complete failure, and they needed to formulate the next step of the strategy.

The Distortion Corrosion in Lily’s body had been completely removed. However, Long Niang had used up a lot of energy to resist and suppress this terrifying corrosion. Her wound could not heal for a while. She said weakly,” Don’t hesitate…”

Tricia’s speed was even faster than Horus ‘jet propulsion. If they continued to flee, they would be caught up sooner or later. At this moment, they had already lost the ability to fight. The best choice was to escape into the white fog world.

But…

Kant looked at Lily, who looked weak.

The Aberrant Dragon Luz was brought into the White Fog World by him and kept alive. The initial guess of the experiment was that the mysterious element had resisted the obliteration rules of the White Fog World.

He did not have time to do further experiments. He could only hurriedly equip Lily and Ah Xing with equipment that carried harmless mysterious elements as a bargaining chip.

He said at the time, trust me.

The two women believed him without hesitation.

He thought that the mysterious elements that the Fire Stealer had dealt with were harmless.

But Ah Xing had just fallen into the river.

Should he bring Lily into the white fog world?

If his guess was wrong…What would happen?

He held Lily in his arms and flew up into the deep and vast underground world. Time was of the essence, and danger was imminent. Kant was a decisive man, but he hesitated at this moment.

Because he could no longer bear such a risk.

If his guess was wrong, the moment he brought Lily into the world of white fog, the terrifying law of obliteration took away Long Niang’s life and soul… He couldn’t accept such an outcome.

“Hurry up and do whatever you want!”

Lily said weakly and hurriedly,” Didn’t you say that you have a way? I believe in you. I always believe in you. So, do it quickly.” Otherwise, it’ll be too late!”

Kant lowered his eyes.

Yes, they believed him.

In order to protect him, she knew that using the mysterious element would be risky, but she did it without hesitation.

Horus had also said that they were willing to take such a risk for Kant.

Lily was the same now. She still chose to trust, even if it meant taking risks.

“I’m sorry.”

“I’m going back on my word,” Kant said softly.

” Horus!” Kant shouted.

“Yes!” the Transformers replied.

Kant was silent for a moment.” Leave immediately,” he said.” Take Lily and leave. Follow the path we came from and return to the entrance to the Underworld. Then, head straight to the surface.”

Even the high-performance Transformer was stunned for a moment, and then he vehemently objected,” I refuse! Father! There’s no point for you to stay! In terms of pure reaction speed and survivability, you can’t stop him for even a second!”

“I’m not trying to stop him.”

” I’m going to kill him,” Kant said calmly.

“I can’t agree! You can’t act on impulse! This is…”

“I don’t need your approval! I only need you to obey! Take Lili and leave now, or else he will catch up to us here and we will die together!”

” You can force me to fly,” Kant said coldly.” But I’m the only one who can open the Realm Gate. Listen to me and we can survive together. Otherwise, we’ll all die here!”

“But you have no chance of winning if you stay here alone!” Horus ‘voice was filled with extreme anger.

“Bullsh * t!” The Fire Stealer roared,” Do you think that without you by my side, I’m a piece of trash with only five combat power? Don’t be too arrogant! Take her away immediately!”

“Father!” Horus pleaded. Father!”

“.. Listen to me, I am your father.” Kant said calmly,” You know that I’m more afraid of death than anyone else. That’s why I won’t die. I’ll live and bring her back alive.”

After a brief silence, Kant’s armor rumbled and vibrated. His battle suit folded and contracted, turning into two metal wings. They extended and reassembled, grabbing Lily’s waist and back.

Air currents shot out.

” What are you doing, Kant?” Lily panicked.

” See you later,” Kant smiled.

Long Niang intended to struggle, but her heavy injuries prevented her from exerting any strength. The vortex spout pushed out flames and sped up toward the tunnel above. Kant watched as the flames left and then lowered his head.

The mutated monster rushed over.

Fighting alone.

It was as if he had returned to Bright Sand.

Alone, he looked around at his enemies and killed his way out.

But he was not really fighting alone.

The Star Megrez Divine Ring shone with dazzling holy light, forming a shining armor. Kant extended his blade of light and spread his wings of light. He floated in the air and looked down at Tracy.

The Aberrant Dragon was stunned for a moment before laughing wildly in excitement.

” What a heroic feat. Even tiny ants can occasionally do something that surprises dragons.” Its voice was distorted as it roared,” But all of this is meaningless. Fate has already announced the end!”

“Yes,” Kant said softly.

The victory was already decided. The human in front of him had caused great harm and threat to him. However, Tricia was not in a hurry to kill Lily because he had escaped death and was seeking victory in defeat. He had completely believed in the Dragon God’s oracle. Even if Lily escaped, she would eventually be captured and sacrificed by him. He had to savor the fruits of victory in front of him.

“Why? Are you looking for your friend?” he asked in a low voice. Is that your woman? Do you see these hard rocks? Did you see what happened after they sank into the River of Origin? If a mortal enters the Origin Spirit River, they will only become residue and powder. Your woman has already died!”

“I don’t believe you.” Kant said softly,” I want to find her.”

The images in his memories, the soul fragments extracted, the images of time and space flashing back, he saw Ah Xing, the person carrying the flag. She and her companions had performed the sacrificial ritual, and it was even closely related to the formation of the River of Origin…He believed that Ah Xing was still alive.

He had to believe it.

He could only believe it.

“Then I’ll send you to see her.” Tracis said cruelly,” Painful, slow, glorious.”

Kant’s calmness and composure made him uneasy. This Skyquaker had many tricks up his sleeve and had almost killed him. An inexplicable intuition made him give up on the idea of toying with his prey.

The Aberrant Dragon flapped its wings and attacked, its whip dancing in the air.

Kant closed his eyes in the face of the fierce attack.

“Thank you for your trust…It’s my turn now.”

He opened his eyes and spread his wings of light. He jumped down and extended his sharp blade.

The aberrant dragon below roared as the flying blades pierced through.

Just as they were about to clash, the Realm Gate opened. Kant’s figure slipped into it. A dark light flashed and he appeared below Tracy in the blink of an eye.

The aberrant dragon quickly turned around, ready to intercept and retaliate. However, Kant did not launch a surprise attack from behind. Instead, he opened his arms and fell calmly.

Below him was the vast and flowing Purple River.

Under Tracy’s stunned gaze, the Fire Stealer fell into the River of Origin without causing a splash. The churning liquid mysterious element instantly swallowed his body.

“.. Die for love?”

” What?” Confusion flashed in the mutated dragon’s eyes.” Strange ants.”

But it didn’t matter.

The oracle was important. Lily was the seventh sacrifice, so…

Just as it was about to leave, it quickly turned around, its swollen face revealing an incredulous expression.

Given the strange and exaggerated facial distortion, it was obviously extremely surprised to be able to show such an expression.

In the River of Origin, which melted everything, corroded all living beings, and theoretically, no foreign existence, a figure slowly stood up and parted the mighty river like a reef.

His shirt melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing his bare upper body. The glittering purple fluid slid down his chest. The demonic substance that could corrode dragons flowed on his skin like drops of water, but it could not penetrate his skin at all.

No, it was not that it was impenetrable. Instead, an invisible force was devouring the terrifying, violent substance, extracting, disintegrating, and absorbing it, making it docile and harmless. Tricia saw purple fog rising around the human’s body, and purple light was circulating faintly. He saw the human raise his head.

“This… What’s going on?”

The scene in front of him made him unable to believe it.” No, it’s impossible. Without an upgraded consciousness, even the Dragon Emperor would not be able to freely come into contact with this God-bestowed Power because this is not a grace that a mortal body can withstand…” Who exactly are you? Kant! What the hell are you!”

Kant extended his hand, and a handful of liquid elements flowed between his fingers.” I don’t know what voice you heard, but I’ve heard a similar voice before. It announced a fate that I don’t agree with. It gave me gifts and charted my path. It said that fate could not be changed. Everything was destined.”

“If this is fate…”

“Then I’ll admit it.”

He looked at the mutated dragon with its four wings spread out in the sky, and his eyes shone with a purple light.

” They are willing to take risks for me. They trust me wholeheartedly and are willing to do dangerous things, even if they use this unknown and dangerous power…Like I said, I’m the same.”

“I will face all my fate and future…As long as we can bring her back.”

“As long as we can bring her back!”

The purple light shone brightly, and the will of the Fallen One was transmitted into the Mirror World of Earth, projected above the capital of West Africa’s Vilagon, where a vast and powerful soul was shouting and commanding. Deep below the city, the sleeping hive was beating like a heart, and the bright silver light was breathing in and out, flashing and extinguishing.

Spacetime Divine Power circulated.

A dim light bloomed behind the Fire Stealer, and the round Realm Gate opened like a vortex, like a black sun rising from the sky above the River of Origin.

On the other side, the sky was clear and the wind was strong. The sun was warm, and the Graywind Insect swarms formed clouds with their wings, blocking the sunlight. They surged out from the Space Gate, sounding the horn of returning to the mortal world after being sealed and banished for countless years!

The curtain had just descended!
