Chapter 1599: The Nightmare That Cannot Be Shaken Off

When the otherworldly crack and the second "Mockery Disaster" appeared, the Turbid Disaster realized something was wrong.

Although it hadn't yet understood why there would be two Mockery Disasters in this world, the moment it was stunned, the Mockery Disaster, which was deep in the flesh-and-blood forest, let out a cold laugh...

The Mockery Disaster raised its hand, and the complex flesh-and-blood vines around it were directly shattered into a mist of blood, and then it moved straight toward the crack in the distance.

But its speed was still a bit slow.

The moment it killed its way out of the Bitter Flesh Turbid Forest, Chen Ling and the others had already arrived in front of that crack. The latter pressed one hand on the Gecko's back and shouted loudly:

"Come with us! Bi Yi!!"

The Gecko didn't know what Bi Yi was, but a brief moment of hesitation flashed across its hollow pupils.

Its body didn't pause. Finally, as if it had made up its mind, it let out a hiss and rushed straight into the crack with Chen Ling and the others!

The moment the few figures entered, the crack "happened" to start closing, disappearing completely on the gray-white sky.

……

In the boundless deep space.

A figure wrapped in aurora was nervously looking in five directions.

To be safe, Yang Xiao didn't detonate the five otherworldly wake missiles in the same place. After all, if Chen Ling and the others came out of one crack and happened to run into a disaster coming out of another, it would be another bitter fight.

Facts proved that Yang Xiao's worry was right.

After one of the cracks opened, endless cold seawater surged out. Because the crack was in the universe, the seawater kept expanding like a wrapped sphere. A moment later, eerie pitch-black figures appeared in it one after another.

After these eerie giant shadows crawled out of the crack, they were all stunned for a moment. They didn't seem to know where this place was and could only scurry around blankly in the water sphere...

This was still considered good. After another crack opened, a group of monsters with only skin bags poured out like a waterfall. Even if they bared their fangs and brandished their claws, they couldn't move freely and could only float silently in the universe, like a long river of monsters flowing above the stars.

Five blind boxes, two kinds of monsters... Yang Xiao's gaze fell on the other three cracks.

These three cracks didn't know which corner of the Gray Realm they were connected to, and they were very quiet. Except for occasional broken stones and cloud vapor drifting out, there were no other figures.

Just when Yang Xiao was nervously counting the time, several figures rushed out of one of the cracks!!

Behind them was a black gecko the size of a small mountain. After entering the universe, it clearly began to panic. It didn't seem to have been exposed to this environment and, like those other False Mountain disasters, was waving its limbs and tail in a panic.

Then, the crack disappeared into thin air behind them.

"Director Chen!!"

Yang Xiao saw the figure wearing the theatrical robe and spoke with joy, but his voice couldn't travel in a vacuum, so it looked like his mouth was just moving silently.

Except for Chen Ling, the few people who had escaped death were affected by the environment of the universe, their blood vessels bulging one by one, and they couldn't breathe at all... Fortunately, Qi Muyun waved his hand and rolled a piece of atmosphere out of his sleeve, covering the surroundings, which allowed everyone to return to normal.

"We made it out alive?!" A wild joy of surviving a disaster appeared on Wu Tongyuan's face.

Seeing Chen Ling and the others come out, Yang Xiao's hanging heart finally let go. He was about to step forward to say something when the next second, Wu Tongyuan spoke again:

"!?eivla tuo edam eW"

Yang Xiao, who had just flown halfway, froze in place.

Immediately after, he saw the wild joy on Wu Tongyuan's face disappear as if a rewind button had been pressed, the atmosphere that had permeated the surroundings quickly rolled back into Qi Muyun's sleeve, and the group of people who had already stabilized their figures in the air returned to the unstable state they were in when they first flew out!

Wu Tongyuan and the others, without [CUT], might only have confusion and blankness in their hearts at this moment, but Chen Ling, who was in the middle of it, clearly knew what had happened...

He looked toward the distance in shock and terror, only to see that the rift, which had long since vanished, had been torn open once again. Amidst the desolate, swirling clouds, a pitch-black figure stood sneering.

The Calamity of Mockery had negated everything that had happened in the last few seconds!

Chen Ling’s heart plummeted as if into an icy abyss. Everyone who had managed to escape was uncontrollably pulled back into the Gray Realm behind the rift, and the first to be dragged back was Bi Yi, who had been closest to the opening.

"Trash, can you not even recognize my aura?"

The Calamity of Mockery glanced at the mountain-like gecko flying back and let out a cold snort. A red paper umbrella sliced through the void in an instant. Bi Yi, in its panic, had no chance to resist as its massive head was severed directly from its body...

Blood gushed from the stump of the torso. Bi Yi’s head spun through the air, its hollow, dull pupils fixed on Chen Ling, who was also being pulled back into the Gray Realm... A flash of bitterness crossed the depths of its gaze. Immediately after, a phantom shadow of its soul was forcibly ripped from its body!

The Calamity of Mockery carried the red paper umbrella casually in one hand while toying with Bi Yi’s soul in the other. The once incredibly powerful Poisonous Head of Calamity had now been reduced to a mere plaything at its fingertips.

At this moment, its playful gaze fell upon Chen Ling and the others, who had been forcibly "repatriated" to the Gray Realm.

There’s no escaping...

We’ve come this far, and we still can’t escape!?

A sense of despair rose in Chen Ling’s heart. This was the first time in battle that he had truly felt a sense of "powerlessness"... and it was the first time he had truly experienced the might of the Calamity of Mockery.

He had pushed the time he could buy to its absolute limit, even successfully escaping back to Earth, yet with a single negation from the Calamity of Mockery, all his efforts had become a fragile, laughable illusion.

"REBOOT!!!" Chen Ling roared in his heart as he watched the grinning black face draw closer!

On this battlefield where victory was impossible, Wen Ruoshui was their final weapon.

A flash of blue light streaked across the void.

……

The toad and the gecko crawled rapidly across the pitch-black earth.

Wen Ruoshui slowly opened his eyes, blood already streaming from his seven orifices. Just as he was about to say something, he felt the world spin and collapsed backward... Having used the Reboot so many times in a single day, his body had reached its limit.

"Dr. Wen!"

"Old Wen!!"

Seeing Wen Ruoshui collapse without a sound, the others nearby rushed over in a panic.

Wen Ruoshui’s blurred eyes looked helplessly at Chen Ling. Just as he struggled to speak, Chen Ling shook his head at him:

"You don't need to speak... get some rest."

"I will see for myself."

Click—

The revolver spun in Chen Ling’s hand. He randomly chose an unimportant memory to turn into a bullet, loaded it, and aimed the muzzle at Wen Ruoshui’s forehead.

Bang!
