Mini World Game Console-Chapter 715 - 716: Time to Pick Up the Kid’s Mom
Within the Platinum Tower, time resumed its flow.
Seeing Los's double kill with a single sword strike, Lanaya immediately flicked the Purple Light Rope, tossing the bodies of Sony and Ren Suo away, then she herself vanished into the shadows under her feet, about to disappear from sight.
At the same time, Xides rose from his throne. With a grab of his right hand, Sony's body in mid-air fell into his grasp, and with a pat of his left hand, he forcibly slapped Lanaya out of the shadows!
Unable to escape and enraged, Lanaya, Los who was ready for combat, and Xides who wanted to shake his might and recruit two more followers, began their unending exchange of verbal barrages and fierce battle!
Meanwhile, the Different Dimension Coordinate with a gaping hole in its chest was naturally ignored, blown into the corner of the tower wall by the Gale caused by their attacks, dutifully playing the difficult and important role of a corpse.
Under such circumstances, even a Fourth-Stage Cultivator must concede defeat.
Xides was Didra's mightiest close-combat Mage, holding the title 'Young Lord,' which was second only to the Great Lord and possessed transcendent power exceeding even the Great Magistrate. He innately exuded a Mind Contamination Brainwashing Aura, with every attack guaranteed to hit. His defensive power was so strong that, even without cheats, there was almost no chance of breaking through.
Lanaya was Didra's strongest Assassin. She could freely enter and exit any outer or Inner World of Didra, treating the No-Hunting Zone as non-existent. There was no place she could not set foot. Without Xides's attack, she would have already escaped the Platinum Tower.
Los was the main character, the destined final victor. His favorite tactic was to blindly cast wide-ranging AOE spells. This wasn't some baseless assertion; in the game, the most commonly appearing Action Card for Los was a range of flashy spells, a reflection of his rough and hearty exterior concealing a heart fond of skillful manipulation.
Whom could Ren Suo beat?
Moreover, he still needed to sneakily heal his own wounds. "Time Roaming" allowed him to perfectly dodge Los's thrust, but not the withdrawal—when Ren Suo ended "Time Roaming," Los's sword was still inside him.
Los withdrew the Black Pearl Sword, bringing a spray of blood with it. If Ren Suo weren't concurrently running "Gauze Clothing" to resist the pain, he would probably have cried out from it; now thrown to the side, he naturally snuck around to use "Saving Lives and Healing the Injured" to heal himself.
Luckily, Los's attacks dealt instant critical hits, with all the Damage erupting in the thrust. Compared to Ren Suo, an actor who only suffered a bit of piercing damage, the Sony Clone had already perished in the second that Ren Suo employed "Time Roaming."
A 2,664% critical hit Damage meant that insane Spiritual Energy exploded within the Sony Clone's body like a nuclear blast. Despite the Sony Clone now only having a huge hole and looking relatively intact, all his internal organs and bones, along with his consciousness, were ground to dust in an instant, and his head had turned into mush.
If Xides applied a little more force now, the Sony Clone might burst like a beef ball filled with exploding juices.
A critical hit Damage doesn't mean dealing 26 times the Energy, but making a normal strike have 26 times the effect. The Energy was compressed to an extreme, precisely destroying every organ in the body, without any Energy spilling out.
The Sony Clone hadn't wanted to speak to Ren Suo earlier, and it wasn't just because he disliked him and his sister.
Switching his thinking back to his True Form, Ren Suo, lying in the corner, opened his eyes and stealthily glanced at Xides and Sony's body using his peripheral vision.
As a reward for the Clone's assistance in substitute playing "Hand of Fate" for Ren Suo, the Clone had received a Strengthening, granting it the ability to forcibly extend its existence by 50 seconds after its summoning concluded or it died. Ren Suo rarely used this effect, but now it came in handy.
Ren Suo dared not face Xides head-on, knowing full well that Xides had now fully activated the Ambition Aura. Should Xides realize Ren Suo was still alive, Ren Suo wouldn't even need to be struck; merely being enveloped by the Ambition Aura would force Ren Suo to acknowledge Xides as his father.
He saw Xides cautiously place Sony's body upon the Throne, declaring in a cold and ruthless voice that he had sacrificed everything, owned nothing, and therefore would have Everything One Expects to Find.
As his hand touched Sony's crown, his explosive Spiritual Energy obliterated Sony's body and the Throne into stormy fragments. Tears of deep blue blood streamed down his eyes.
His back turned to Los and Lanaya, Xides continued in a bloodless and tearless voice to declare his newfound strength, but Ren Suo caught a glimpse of Xides quietly closing his eyes. When Xides opened his eyes again, his tears had dried up.
Perhaps Sony had truly received all of Xides's affection.
But Ren Suo could no longer confirm Xides's thoughts, and if nothing unexpected happened, Xides would soon be reunited with Sony.
However, from this moment on, the blabbermouth Sony, the traitor Sony, the Sony who, even facing death, kept talking through the pain, had his last trace in this world completely disappear.
Because the "A Different Life" Record Body was overwritten by Ren Xingmei's records, when the Sony Clone vanished, it meant that all of Sony's memories, emotions, and will were lost forever—what is known as—death.
Sony first died on Earth, crushed into meat paste by Ren Han, completely dead in a physiological sense; Sony died a second time, here, in the presence of his father, his enemies, and his bodyguards, now completely dead in a social sense.
Soon, no one would remember him. Neither the rebuilding Didelalos nor Lorifes would ever mention this Imperial Prince. Besides, Sony himself had no interest in being inscribed in history—after all, he was destined to be a character of eternal infamy.
Perhaps Ren Suo would soon forget him as well, and then Sony would truly be dead. But perhaps not. If Ren Suo had children in the future, after telling them fairy tales about the Immortals' big fight with the Firewood King, Hunters venturing into dream meetings with the Moon God, or Ninjas rescuing the Princess, he might share an adventure story with them: "Once upon a time, I fought alongside a traitor..."
"...He was born detesting his own status, yet unable to break free from the chains that bound him..."
"...He loathed his degenerate kin, yet couldn't stop his own descent into degeneracy..."
"...He could only powerlessly vent his aspirations online, only to be called out by others on how ridiculous he was..."
"...At the end of his life, for his own aspirations, he defied his father in his own way and was finally reduced to crumbs by his father's hand."
"This story teaches us to listen to our fathers."
Doesn't feel like a good story.
Whatever. It's as if he's going to have children anyway.
Ren Suo took one last look at the flying pieces of the Throne and the gradually disappearing flesh and blood, thinking:
I only hoped you would quietly finish this play.
But you lived a life more splendid than the play itself.
I won't forget you.
Then again, maybe I should forget you. Your story is too much of a bad influence on kids.
"Next..."
Having witnessed Sony's funeral, Ren Suo soon took the opportunity when Los launched a massive "Ice Encroaches Upon the Gods," and stealthily clenched the necklace in his hand amidst the ice fog.
"Time to pick up the mother of my child."
