Endless Debt-Chapter 873 - 23: Omnivision

Bologue didn’t know how to describe his feelings at the moment, as if he were completely detached from the sudden battle, the boiling blood cooled down, and even the restless ethers gradually fell into dead silence. He felt a bit dazed, repeatedly seeing the figure in the pitch-black robe in front of him.

In the depths of the mind, there seemed to be a connection, tightly binding Bologue with that figure, like a chain that could not be broken.

Bologue felt a strong sense of calling, urging him to pursue that figure.

After his body healed, Bologue tried hard to calm his restless mind, then he unfolded Ethereal Concealment, desperately lowering his ether response. Deceitful Snake Scale Liquid crawled along his body surface, layers of armor covered him, transforming him into a warrior in Iron Armor.

Bologue could sense the dense ether responses around him, joined by suppressed breathing sounds overlapping, heavy footsteps moving overhead, the Silent Ones headed upstairs, blocking all the paths upward.

"I’ll find a way to kill them."

Bologue whispered, voices of persuasion came from within the Heart Core Net, especially Geoffrey, never doubting Bologue’s ability, but still thinking Bologue was being a bit too rash.

Usually, Bologue would listen to Geoffrey, but this time he couldn’t, the anxiety was like a beast tearing at his mind, he couldn’t wait even for a moment.

Aimou also sensed Bologue’s strange psychological changes. She wanted to persuade him, but under the empathy of Heart Overlapping Shadows, she knew she couldn’t change Bologue; all she could do was try her best to assist him.

"They seem to have a mental framework similar to our Heart Core Net, connecting everyone’s will together."

Aimou’s voice echoed in Bologue’s mind; while he slaughtered recklessly, Aimou was observing these Silent Ones.

The coordination between the Silent Ones far exceeded Aimou’s expectations; they communicated not just through information, but it seemed everyone shared one set of senses, whatever one Silent One saw, all could see, their view had no blind spots, able to endure field staff’s fierce attacks.

This communication efficiency far surpassed the Heart Core Net; then Aimou realized another unsettling possibility.

If they shared senses, then what about pain and death?

When a Silent One was injured, would the others feel the pain? If one died in battle, would they all experience the same death?

Upon considering this possibility, Aimou felt deep unease and fear. She had experienced all of it; she felt the heart-wrenching pain on Bologue and personally felt the so-called death.

So, how terrifying would the overlapping senses be for countless injured and killed Silent Ones? Aimou suddenly understood why these people remained silent, surely the will governing this gigantic legion had long been numbed in endless death.

"I’m not sure, but it’s possible."

Bologue affirmed Aimou’s information, becoming a bit nervous, partly due to the figure’s connection, partly due to the Silent Ones’ pressure; if one discovered him, all would know, then a blood-soaked death fight awaited him.

Aimou then applied Ethereal Concealment to Bologue, the Ethereal Radiance in his eyes completely extinguished, and Initial Activation Phenomenon wholly fell into stillness.

Deep breath, Bologue silently hid in the shadows, pursuing that strange figure.

The Silent Ones seemed premeditated, completely locking the building after closing it, gathering not at the entrance to fend off Order Bureau’s potential attack but heading up the stairs, as if searching for something.

The pitch-black figure surrounded by Silent Ones, even within a fortress-like building, they remained highly alert, escorting the black-robed person to the intended location.

It seemed the Silent Ones’ purpose wasn’t to attack the negotiation but more like to send this person somewhere.

After stepping over the long steps, the corner’s shadows stirred; a Silent One noticed the anomaly, a pitch-black Blade rapidly expanded before them.

All Silent Ones saw, a Blade of Pitch Black cutting through their view, followed by a spanning Silver Iron Branch.

These two scenes came from different Silent Ones, the screen went completely black, missing two nodes in the connected will.

Two Silent Ones had died; when another arrived at the location, only two bleeding corpses were on the ground.

"Someone was discovered."

A numb voice echoed in the vast mental network, then more voices joined in.

"He found them."

"Discovered."

Bologue hid in the shadows, just as he predicted, the Silent Ones’ senses were mutually shared, usually one always under another’s observation, any assassination targeting them would be noticed.

Thus, to assassinate a Silent One, Bologue must kill others who were also observing; only by this can he perfectly conceal himself.

Bologue succeeded, with precise ether control, he achieved synchronized assassination, but this also caught the Silent Ones’ attention, his stunt likely wouldn’t work again.

It didn’t matter, Bologue never thought assassination alone could eliminate them.

Bologue asked, "Are you sure, can you do it?"

"Let’s try," Aimou said, "If things go wrong, I’ll protect myself."

"Hmm."

Bologue was shocked by Aimou’s bold idea; thinking he must assist her excited his spirit.

Silent Ones required no communication; each floor left some guarding key stairways. The building seemed empty, now appeared to have more hiding here.

Suddenly another node vanished, all Silent Ones saw a scarlet view, this time the opponent appeared without any cover, right before them.

Bologue held high his Vengeful Bite, a blade capable of splitting ether stream, easily tearing the Silent Ones’ Ethereal Barriers, given their ether response between Condensers and Prayer Believers, Bologue felt he still had some chance.

Heavy footsteps came from all sides; before the Silent One in front fell, more rushed toward Bologue, who directly detonated Red Mercury.

Scorching Scale Burst and burning.

Roaring heat waves swept through this floor, crashing into nearby Silent Ones; in this suicidal attack, Bologue, donned in almost red-hot Iron Armor, raced upward.

The rear Silent Ones steadied, preparing to pursue Bologue, but as Flame of the Cauldron burned over, falling bricks atop swiftly collapsed, raising dust.

The closed building was covered by Void Realm; concrete filled with ether, but with precise ether control, Bologue discovered he could, to some extent, overcome these ether limitations, perform forced command.

Though reality could be distorted slightly, it was enough for the current situation.

Blazing flames spread from the upper layer, granting Bologue a direct hit anticipated, considering he was under rear Silent Ones’ watch.

The Silent Ones erected a pitch-black wall blocking Bologue’s path; even he found the defense hard to cross, but still strived forward, reaching out his hand.

Bologue’s hand turned ethereal; Canyin’s light emerged from his flesh. Another ethereal slender arm appeared, then passed through material confines, embedding into Silent Ones.

Secret Energy·Heart Overlapping Shadow.

Aimou saw it, like starlight points and silent will, felt Aimou’s intrusion, countless clamoring shouts arose.

This was the first Bologue heard Silent Ones voice, though they kept absolute silence even in death, now they all roared, as if gravely humiliated.

Aimou was repelled from Silent Ones’ consciousness ocean, overlapping again with Bologue, infuriated Silent Ones surrounding him, their clashing ether raising a suffocating storm.
