Welcome to Rewind World Game-Chapter 1344 - 1337: Angel Route 1 - "Noel, You Should Go.
Action is always a step ahead of thought.
At the moment the knife tip pierced down, spatial ripples surged, Su 1 instantly launched teleportation, appearing beside the throne, gripping Noel’s wrist.
"Noel, have you been seduced by the Master of the End of All Things?"
In that instant, he blinked, exchanging signals with Noel.
"You...?" Noel looked at him. How could this person exchange signals with him? Could it be that Su Ming’an was divided into several parts?
Without pausing, Noel swiftly moved, and invisible threads rushed towards Su 1’s neck, extremely quickly.
If Su Ming’an’s role was a mage, Noel’s role was more like an assassin, executing deadly assassinations undetectably.
Despite the gap in combat power, Su 1 instantly saw these threads. Gravity Suppression flashed, and an invisible force suddenly descended. He reached out, grasping Noel’s jaw, tilting forward!
The Blue Rose Scepter fell with a "clang", golden hair flying up, Noel was smashed to the ground by gravity, with such force that the surface cracked like a spider web.
Su 1 firmly gripped Noel’s jaw, with the little finger pressing against Noel’s neck, a "crack" sounded, and the Amber Knife he held stabbed straight into the ground beside Noel’s face.
In just ten seconds, he completely subdued Noel. Even a second-ranked player would not last several rounds under his hand. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Fortunately, the World Master had not exited the elevator yet and hadn’t noticed him.
"Why?" Su 1’s fingers contracted, firmly holding Noel.
From that previous backstab, he saw Noel showed no mercy, it was a real stab. If not for his timely teleportation, Dark Side An would have been cut.
He used signals to ask Noel why he acted this way, but Noel indicated he had nothing to say.
He did not believe Noel would betray for mere seduction, nor did he believe Noel would hurt a true friend to fulfill his ideal. Was Noel invaded or controlled?
——But Noel’s blue eyes were clear.
As if telling him this was entirely Noel’s own intent.
But counter-logically, if Noel was truly ruthless in achieving his goals, he would surely lie to deceive him. But Noel directly answering "nothing to say" suggested Noel didn’t want to deceive him. This proved Noel still stood by his side.
But counter-counter-logically, Noel could consider this, so Noel purposely answered "nothing to say" to make him think this way?
And counter-counter-counter-logically, if Noel also thought of him thinking Noel would think of his thoughts on Noel’s thoughts...
Facing smart people like Noel is like stacking layers upon layers.
In this silent confrontation, he slowly loosened his hand.
"You can leave." He said.
Letting Noel go this time feared Noel was planning something good. But if Noel really stabbed next time, there would be no room for maneuver.
Noel stood up from the ground, tidied his collar, and smoothed the creases on his sleeves, then looked at him.
He could not see the waves and reefs in that blue sea, and Noel could not see the silence in his golden eyes.
In the voiceless silence, they exchanged the final code.
...
——Noel, you can leave. If there’s a hidden reason, let me know.
——There isn’t... I’m leaving.
...
"Ding dong!"
[You killed God of Oblivion·Klimens!]
[EXP+1000000!]
[You have been promoted to (Fifth Rank Ninth) Player.]
...
At this moment, Su 1 finally had time to check his rewards for slaying God.
Killing a second-level god yielded a solid million experience points, jumping directly from Fifth Rank Six to Fifth Rank Ninth.
"Level 3*26 gods=78 levels..." He roughly calculated, eliminating the experience reduction at higher levels, if he killed all the deities, he could leap from Fifth Rank to Ninth Rank.
...
[You received "Shitposter Demon’s Rainbow Mask" (Hidden)]
[Shitposter Demon’s Rainbow Mask (Hidden): "He walks towards doom through deception, and embraces death with a smile."]
Physical Defense Value: 0 points
Mentality Defense Value: 30 points
Type: Special face equipment
Active Skills (Vibrant Pigments): The appearances of the two people you’ve recently contacted are stored in the mask, and you can transform into either of them at any time, acquiring 1-2 of their signature skills upon transformation. (Currently stored: 1. Sique. 2. Noel)
Passive Skills 1 (Colorful Smile): When you smile, others are more easily deceived by your words, and all your skills are enhanced. The more genuine the smile appears, the stronger the amplification effect.
Passive Skills 2 (Liar’s Lie): When equipped, the sadder your emotion, the brighter your smile will appear. It becomes ineffective once unequipped.
Note: "——He’s the world’s greatest liar!! He promised he would definitely return, but he deceived me, he deceived us all!! Hahaha..." Kasadia laughed manically. Witnessing Sique’s end, Claid produced this mask that only smiles, as if it hides all sorrow.]
...
Killing the God of Oblivion surprisingly dropped a Shitposter Demon’s equipment, likely randomly discarded by it.
Su 1 temporarily chose not to transform, still maintaining his appearance.
At this point, he suddenly felt an attracting force from the sky’s sun.
"...Come here, Su Ming’an, I have something to say to you." The voice was female.
The force was too great, directly pulling him in, and when he reopened his eyes, he found himself standing on an endless crimson plain.
In the sky, a giant eye was engraved, its pupils burning with flames. White trees resembling arms rose from the ground, lifting an orbital sun like cradling a baby.
Everything seen was red, warm, burning.
Amid the endless dusk, a seat lay on the plain.
A figure sat on the chair; it had no humanoid form, like solidified dawn, gold and crimson lights blending and layering on it, all brilliance converging within it.
Su 1 stood on the plain, looked at everything before him: "This place is..."
Where was he suddenly drawn to?
That figure flickered: "This is my small world."
Su 1 recognized its traits: "You are the Dawn Goddess... Kritchens!?"
First Level God.
To this day, Su Ming’an had never encountered a First Level God, the ones he met were those like Lotasha, Kasadia.
First Level Gods have independent small worlds. This small world of the Dawn Goddess seems decent, with trees and a sun, but comparing vivacity, it seems less lively than his small world.
Could his small world supersede a First Level God?
The Dawn Goddess moved slightly, and the sun in the sky rapidly shrank, transformed into a tiny red heart, floating before Su 1.
"This is the sun of my small world, I give it to you." said the Dawn Goddess.
Su 1 looked at the red heart in his palm; it was a true natural light source, an indispensable element of the world. With it, his small world’s completeness would greatly increase, the Dawn Goddess selflessly gifted it?
As the little sun landed in Su 1’s hand, the temperature of the Dawn Goddess’s small world sharply dropped, vitality gradually faded.
"Why give it to me?" Su 1 asked.
The Dawn Goddess did not speak, yet a clear meaning poured into Su 1’s mind:
"I cannot escape Luowasha’s constraints, even if my small world is completed, I’m bound by the name of dawn, unable to roam the Outer Realm."
"But you are different, you are the traveler of the Outer Realm, unbound by constraints. Once you ascend to High Dimensions, over time, you will surely surpass Luowasha. If you integrate my small world into yours, not only will your small world accelerate in development, but in the future, I might gain freedom through your power."
"Why place such hope in me?" Su 1 wondered.
Even before entering the Eleventh World, Su Ming’an intended to collaborate with First Level Gods, inviting them to build small worlds together. But before he spoke, the Dawn Goddess approached of her own accord.
"Because..." The Dawn Goddess constantly gazed at him: "Your positional rank is above mine."
Su 1 blinked, almost thinking he had heard wrong, but his senses confirmed it was true.
"...You are a first-level God, while I am just a fifth-rank Player," Su 1 said.
"But in fact, your positional rank is indeed higher than mine," the Dawn Goddess said. "From the very beginning, your rank was very, very high."
"What does ’the very beginning’ refer to?" Su 1 pressed on.
"The very beginning," the Dawn Goddess repeated.
She didn’t explain where "the very beginning" began.
"Let’s go. Once your small world is completed, I’ll come find you again." The Dawn Goddess was not willing to say more and directly sent Su Ming’an away.
As the brilliance flickered, Su 1 returned to his original place, holding a round red dot in his hands.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a bit hot.
Looking up, he saw that the sky of Luowasha had turned crimson.
A dazzling, scorching red sun was descending in the distance.
"The Red Sun... has descended?" he murmured.
Fang Tang floated out of his pocket: "Originally, the Red Sun was supposed to descend on the tenth day of the instance, but the Dawn Goddess was responsible for regulating Luowasha’s sun. Since she gave the Little Sun to you, causing her divine power to become unbalanced, she couldn’t sustain Luowasha’s sun anymore. She chose to give it to you at this point because she’s probably about to be demonized."
—The reason for the early descent of the Red Sun was actually because the Dawn Goddess gave the Little Sun to the Angel Line Su Ming’an!
This indirectly caused the death of the Demon Line Su Ming’an.
At this moment, Su 1 noticed that Dark Su’s lashes by the throne twitched, seemingly about to wake up. And he didn’t have time to leave.
"The mask! The mask!" Fang Tang reminded him.
Su 1 immediately activated the disguise skill of the mask, transforming into Noel. As for the other option Sique, he definitely couldn’t transform into Sique now, otherwise, it would clash with Dark Su’s appearance.
...
[You have activated the skill of the Shitposter Demon’s Rainbow Mask.]
[You choose to transform into the appearance of "Noel."]
[You have randomly obtained two of Noel’s signature skills: 1. Flying Bird Puppet Show. 2. Mind Control.]
[You have obtained Noel’s signature weapon: Blue Rose Scepter (please note that the weapon is a transformed item and does not possess the functionality of the original weapon.)]
...
Thus, when Dark Su slowly awoke and opened his eyes, what he saw was Noel still standing beside the throne, leaning on the Blue Rose Scepter, looking into the distance.
The Red Sun set, and all was silent.
As expected, the two exchanged the secret signal. So, Dark Su wouldn’t doubt Noel’s authenticity.
Subsequently, Dark Su saw the Red Sun descending, and in the signal, suggested to Noel to help him reset.
But of course, Su 1 didn’t act, just stood there leaning on the Blue Rose Scepter. He was pondering whether to tell Dark Su the truth.
Before he could say anything, Dark Su fell asleep again. Moments later, Dark Su opened his eyes, seemingly having made some sort of decision, and walked straight towards the edge of the High Tower.
Su 1 hesitated for a moment, then followed behind.
Step by step.
Watching Dark Su’s figure, Su 1 vaguely guessed what "he" would do.
In this moment of desperation, "he" would surely leap off, triggering a Death Rebound.
Soon, the black bird fell.
First was Sea Emperor Road, then Boris, they all tried to grab the falling Dark Su, but Dark Su was intent on dying, only wanting to reset, so Believer Boris voluntarily let go of the Deity.
"Lord, why have you fallen..."
Like Galileans bidding farewell to Jesus leaving the mortal world, Boris let go.
Like a wilting tea flower.
"Bang!!!"
With a resounding crash, blood splattered on the ground. Dark Su’s body fell, turning into a puddle of indistinct flesh and blood, dying very cleanly.
Su 1 closed his eyes, waiting for the reset.
—But what then?
...
Then what?
...
Su 1 slowly opened his eyes.
In front of him, the sinking Red Sun, the hastily arriving Sea Emperor, and the compassionate face of Boris.
They were all looking at the flesh and blood under the High Tower.
Silence lasted for a while.
Followed by the pounding heartbeat.
The river in front of him flowed silently, normally flowing forward.
"..."
Su 1 walked onto the High Tower, gazing into the distance.
Tick, tick, tick.
The system time continued to move on; all time continued to move on.
They were not reversed.
Su 1’s heart was empty, seemingly blooming with a tea flower within his chest, entangling him.
—There was no reset.
Dark Su’s death did not trigger a reset.
He died, but time continued moving.
"..." Staring at the descending Red Sun, endless fatigue surged over him. The bright red blood in his eyes made him almost dizzy.
Su 1 suddenly had the urge to burst into hysterical laughter.
He didn’t know what to do for a moment, nor where to go. He didn’t even know if he died, whether it would trigger a reset.
"World Tree..." He straightened up, staggering forward: "Right, at this moment, I need to find the World Tree..."
He was Light Side Su; the World Tree would help him.
Walking down the High Tower, walking towards the roots of the World Tree, along the way... he saw corpse after corpse and blood.
"Gulu gulu..."
Just then, a head of Noel, like a banana jelly, rolled a few times, stopping by his feet.
It was Noel’s head, who had just left; Noel hadn’t taken a few steps when the Red Sun descended, and he died.
There was a distinct knife cut on the neck; no one knew whose handiwork it was. Maybe Noel himself, maybe the Master of the End of All Things, burned the bridge behind him, killing Noel.
Su 1 leaned over, holding up Noel’s bloody head; these blue eyes had lost their luster, golden hair flowing between his fingers.
"World Tree," he murmured, looking into the distance.
Blood dripped down, the scorching sunlight hit his skin with a cracking sound, burning and stinging.
The staggering youth holding the head walked forward and suddenly burst into laughter:
"Luowasha..."
"Luowasha... hahaha, hahahahahaha..."
"Hahaha... hahahahahaha..."
