Endless Debt-Chapter 946 - 51: The New Holy City
Since its establishment, the Order Bureau has encountered countless wars, big and small. The only one that could threaten the Cultivation Room itself was during the Secret War period, when Overlord Xilin aggressively invaded. His large-scale authority command completely shattered the solid Cultivation Room, sending it into chaos.
Since then, the Order Bureau has been vigilant about the birth of another Overlord Xilin, reinforcing the Cultivation Room in many ways to avoid anyone taking over this solemn fortress again. Now, the power of Bologue penetrating marrow and soul triggered the Cultivation Room’s alarm.
Bologue stopped releasing Secret Energy and looked around with a bewildered expression, only to see the entire Cultivation Room had begun to stir. The flat walls seemed to lose their solid nature, softening as if they were liquid.
The walls seemed like a curtain, one hideous and terrifying outline after another pressed against the curtain, showing their forms, as if they would break through the curtain’s limits in the next second and crush Bologue’s body.
After the piercing alarm, all exits of the combat room were blocked by falling boulders, and the area was completely sealed off, leaving Bologue as a bird in a cage.
Bologue wasn’t panicked; he had experienced too many fatal events in the past few dozen hours, and the alarm of the Cultivation Room now appeared rather ordinary.
After all, nothing was more terrifying than the Ethereal Realm’s eerie changes.
While waiting for mutations, Bologue examined the lines on his palm. It was the projection of the Alchemy Matrix mapped onto his body surface. Bologue guessed it was his own Secret Energy that triggered the alarm.
Secret Energy·Commanding Decree.
As a Negative Power User, the enemies Bologue will face in the future are mostly also Negative Power Users or even Defenders of this tier. For those whose bodies have entered the Etherealization process, Bologue can hardly inflict fatal harm on them physically. Thus, the importance of Rectangular Soul Critical becomes apparent. As long as it is pierced, even the Negative Power User in Etherealization will perish instantly.
Therefore, the true power of Secret Energy·Commanding Decree is interference with Ethereum Mutual Exclusion, the usurpation of the soul’s deep-seated Alchemy Matrix.
This is the power born after the road to polarization, Infinite Sharpness, which Bologue now focuses on at a more microscopic level and takes a completely different path than Overlord Xilin.
If Overlord Xilin’s power was like a heavy, broad blade that could easily sweep through armies and slice off countless heads, then Bologue’s power was like a slender and narrow thrusting sword. It cannot sweep through armies, but it can destroy the wall of iron that mortal men cannot surpass, piercing through all barriers with one strike.
Now Bologue’s Secret Energy will be more aggressive; the law of Ethereum Mutual Exclusion will no longer apply to him, and his Ether can more easily invade the enemy’s Rectangular Soul Critical, detonating their Ether from within.
Combined with Bologue’s own Protection·Soul Sucking and Essence Stealing, Bologue turns into a lethal predator, shattering the enemy’s Rectangular Soul Critical, harvesting the lives of all.
"Is this the watershed?"
Bologue marveled, calculating as a routine Condenser, Bologue is already exceedingly powerful among the same tier, but alas, the enemies and events Bologue faces often exceed normal specifications.
Ordinary field staff go through one Extraordinary Disaster and come back alive, already considered distinguished achievements, yet such Extraordinary Disasters are intricately woven throughout Bologue’s career.
No matter how Bologue strengthens his power, even wielding the Grudge Bite, facing increasingly complex and threatening battles still seems to be beyond his capabilities.
Fortunately, with the advancement to Negative Power Tier, Secret Energy·Commanding Decree filled the last missing piece for Bologue. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
The feeling of holding power is good, and Bologue regained confidence. He still maintains the Savior complex, and this sentiment requires no one’s validation.
As for the remaining power, it’s just routine strengthening and expansion. When Secret Energy is activated, the surrounding area of Bologue will be included in his Ether surge range, allowing him to control and command at will.
Bologue’s mind moved, the ground cracked, stone blades floated around him, while simultaneously, the Cultivation Room’s instinctual security measures triggered, and those hideous figures broke through the confines of the wall.
Tall walls collapsed, revealing not brick and stone but a mass of obscured darkness, flickering with strange starlight within.
Bologue’s mind hesitated; long ago, he had seen such a scene. Under the distortion of Belphegor’s power, he had mistakenly entered the House of the Rising Sun within the Cultivation Room.
The spatial structure of the combat room seemed to have warped; the bricks and stones Bologue was familiar with appeared as a facade, behind them lay endless darkness, bursting with arcs and lasers, the familiar song resounded once more.
"On this day of tears."
The woman’s crying carried great sadness, possessing a power strong enough to impact the spirit, striking Bologue’s consciousness.
The writhing darkness broke through barriers, transforming into black beasts pouncing at Bologue. Bologue didn’t expect the Cultivation Room’s response to be so intense.
Stone Sword floating around Bologue shot out, like a dense rainstorm, striking the black beasts’ bodies, shattering the shadowy mass.
Bologue wanted to command more bricks; at this moment, he noticed the ground beneath his feet was full of cracks, bricks rapidly fading, transforming together into pitch-black shadows, as if that was their true essence.
