Soul Of Negary Chapter 179 - Vol2 Ch77: The Enemy That Had Yet To Arrive

Chapter 179: Vol2 Ch77: The enemy that had yet to arrive

Translator: La0o9

Negary cut off his connection with Fang Ze and felt the authority of ‘people’ gradually receding from within his [Dragon’s Pressure].

At this point, his germs had already infected over half of Fang Ze’s [Protagonist Aura]. In fact, he sensed that if he actively pushed the rate of infection, he would even be able to steal this [Protagonist Aura] and transfer it onto himself.

That might sound like a nice thing, becoming the representative of all humans within this world, wielding the authority of the ‘people’.

However, privileges were usually accompanied by responsibility; if Negary took over the [Protagonist Aura], he would simply continue walking down Fang Ze’s path and become bound by the ‘people’.

For that reason, Negary might borrow this power for his own use, but he would never actually wield the [Protagonist Aura].

“I’m here representing the Disaster board of directors, greetings, your excellency w.a.n.g Yuan” the man respectfully said: “My name is An Ping, the Disaster King who wields [Temporal Displacement]”

“I will tell you everything, leaving the final decision for you to make, your excellency” An Ping’s tone was humble, even when he was a Disaster King and one who wielded an Authority like [Temporal Displacement], he still remained humble as he faced Negary.

Negary didn’t turn back into his human form, but remained in the Dragon of Eternal Sin form as he waited to hear what this Disaster King had to say.

Negary was convinced that even if he had defeated Fang Ze today, the other party would still have other preparations, and perhaps had even predicted this exact situation.

As Negary observed An Ping, from his understanding of the human heart, he understood very well what kind of person An Ping was.

This was the kind of person who had a great ideal in his heart. For the sake of this great ideal, he could prostrate all the way to the ground, or make any sort of sacrifice, even if that sacrifice was himself. This kind of person was both admirable and troublesome.

Strictly speaking, w.a.n.g Yuan was also such a person, that was why Negary existed.

And Chang Xia was also this same kind of person. For the sake of his own great ideal, he had done many unspeakable things, including personally killing the person that he admired and respected the most.

After An Ping’s appearance, the battle gradually came to a close, but not without Fang Ze’s side paying for their loss.

Having activated his [Blood of War] ability but not having scored a single kill within its duration, Alkman was now on the ground; his originally middle-aged appearance quickly deteriorated by at least a dozen years as he laid completely limp, unsure of how long he would need to recover.

On the other side, the Authority Holder of [Pothole], Zhang Zi Jie, was affected by Noah’s [G.o.d’s Words Realized – Curse] and became permanently paralyzed. Xiao Ba Fu was a bit more fortunate, but still had numerous bones on his body fractured and broken by Noah’s [G.o.d’s Words Realized – Rebound]. Chang Xia was now unconscious, becoming a hostage.

If Seven wasn’t a Disaster King, Noah would have prepared to kill her as well.

It was considerably worse on the other side, as Liu s.h.i.+ and Lu Tong’s entire souls were heavily injured by Killer J’s [Killing Intent Blades], causing them to fall into a comatose state, unclear if they would awaken again, while Zhang Wei was completely dead, his soul already dissipated and gone.

The only person completely intact was He Qiao due to having achieved the second stage of release, but as she didn’t know how to fight, she couldn’t save her companions and was stricken by a heavy sense of self-blame.

As for Fang Ze, seeing all of his companions either traumatized, crippled, or dead, he was heavily depressed. However, as long as the [Protagonist Aura] existed, he would soon return to normal, after all, what the ‘people’ wanted wasn’t a depressed Protagonist.

As the Protagonist, even his right to feel depressed had been deprived, he would most likely regain his vitality through some senseless ‘chicken soup for the soul’ and ‘escape’ from the shadow of his best friend’s death not too long after this.

What a pitiful Protagonist.

Of course, this was also something that many others couldn’t obtain even if they wished for it every day of their lives. After all, compared to being part of the mob, many people who had been ordinary their entire lives would be more than happy to become a Protagonist: one that might occasionally face hards.h.i.+ps and obstacles, but could always overcome them all while enjoying a smooth, extraordinary life.

The main reason why Fang Ze was this pitiful was because the obstacle he ran into was impossible.

“This world will soon run face the Apocalypse” An Ping honestly explained: “And the cause of it comes from the same place your excellency did”

“They are coming, and in order to protect this world, we have paid an extremely heavy price”

Hearing An Ping’s words, Negary finally confirmed his conjecture. The New Deity and the Progenitor Dragon fled to this world from the Flame world with their respective races in tow; but while Negary followed their pa.s.sage to reach this world, he couldn’t find a single trace of their existence, which was highly strange.

According to the records of the Flame world and Granny Seal’e’s description of the ancient Flame world, the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon could be said to be terrifyingly powerful.

The Giant who came from the first flame managed to create the large majority of the Flame world’s creatures; as two ent.i.ties who originated from the same place, the New Deity created the Divine race, while the Progenitor Dragon gave birth to the Dragon race.

The Ancestral Witch who was born near the first flame, founder of Witchcraft as well the first Witch, was a powerful ent.i.ty who reached the third stage of release in the Flame world. This meant that the New Deity and the Progenitor Dragon who were created within the first flame had to have reached at least the third stage of release, perhaps even higher.

It was because they left and took with them the majority of the Flame world’s power that the Flame world slowly degraded, turning into a low-magic world from its high-magic origins.

Ent.i.ties of this level would leave an unremovable mark on this world by merely setting foot on it, their mere existence would greatly influence it.

This fact, combined with the words of the [Temporal Displacement] Disaster King made the truth very clear: Negary had arrived in this world before the New Deity and the Progenitor Dragon.

He followed their footsteps, yet he was the first to arrive in the Disaster world. The only explanation for this would be that time was displaced at the very moment he entered this world, causing the situation today.

“Our world used to have a psychic civilization, but we were completely powerless to stop the foreign invasion. At that time, another An Ping, a psychic with a temporal ability, managed to reverse time with the cooperation of the will of this world” An Ping explained.

“His memory also travelled back 100 years thanks to his temporal ability”

“As the timeline went into its second cycle, the second An Ping, who had essentially gone back in time 100 years, instigated the psychic revolution ahead of time, developing the world into an extremely prosperous psychic civilization, but that failed as well”

“Our powers were spread too thin, and those two otherworldly ent.i.ties extended to us an invitation to join them, to join a never-ending conquest of war and flames”

“Some people wanted to escape, unwilling to spend their entire lives stuck in a single world, so the two ent.i.ties succeeded; they turned a portion of psychics against the very world that nurtured them”

“Furthermore, they spread a ‘Super Plague’ into this world, this plague caused the majority of psychics to completely lose control and turned Psychically Essentialized, or as you call it, underwent Origin a.s.similation”

“But we did not completely fail either, as the Apocalypse Stone Tablet was the result of that second cycle”

“And so, we went into the third cycle, where the Disaster Authority plan was officially put into action” An Ping calmly narrated.

“Through the Authorities, we managed to converge and focus all of the world’s power, which we had thought would bring us victory, but still ended up with our defeat”

“Our world simply couldn’t adapt to the powers of another world. We were in despair, and the will of the world also grew weaker from the numerous time reversals”

“It was your appearance that gave us hope once more, your excellency”
