Chapter 1906: Double, and Stalemate

A gust of wind mixed with the aura of the Red Star crossed the shattered fourth wall, blowing the red curtain on the stage.

The red theatrical robes danced wildly in the wind...

Chen Ling’s broken body fell heavily to the ground.

Immediately after,

A pitch-black figure ran past him at high speed.

Then a second, a third, a fourth... endless black audience members, like a surging torrent of malice, rushed past the actor in red, frantically charging behind the fluttering curtain!

At this moment, the audience and the actor were no longer enemies, but temporary allies with a common goal.

……

In the crimson consciousness world.

A surging black torrent poured out from Chen Ling’s body, which was about to be swallowed!!

Wherever the black torrent passed, the crimson ocean of the Red Star consciousness was forcibly torn open. Centered on Chen Ling, they began to spread in all directions, forcibly carving out a vacuum zone in this consciousness world!

"You lunatic!!" The Red Star consciousness let out a roar.

The scene it least wanted to see had finally happened...

In its plan, as long as Chen Ling’s consciousness was guided into the Gate of All Wonders, these audience members would also be taken away, leaving only an empty shell without an owner... As long as it devoured the empty shell, that missing core power would return to the Red Star.

But now, Chen Ling had chosen to perish with it, preferring to have his own consciousness swallowed by the audience rather than let the Red Star consciousness remain undisturbed.

Tens of thousands of audience members filled with hatred and malice were like a swarm of locusts, frantically tearing at the Red Star consciousness.

But the two sides seemed evenly matched. Soon, the Red Star consciousness recovered from the unexpected shock and, in turn, forcibly surrounded the tens of thousands of audience members. Red and black entangled with each other, like a huge millstone.

"Just a pile of chaotic loose sand..."

"I said, even if you release them, you can't win against me."

The cold voice of the Red Star consciousness echoed throughout the world, as if mocking Chen Ling for not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth.

Just as the Red Star said, although the number of these malicious audience members was huge, they had no connection with each other, like a group of reckless men fighting on their own, making it difficult to cause significant substantial damage to the Red Star consciousness.

But even so, wanting to obliterate the consciousness of so many audience members was not a simple matter for the Red Star...

It could easily tear apart civilizations and use them as food; it could smash the barriers between worlds and drag a world into a vortex to be completely ground away, but its consciousness was not invincible or infinite. This was also the reason why it was wary of every generation of Red Kings who stepped onto the Red Star.

Come to think of it, one had to blame that first guy... If he hadn't left the message "The solution to the Red Star lies on the Red Star," how would the ones after him have come up one after another?

The Red Star consciousness didn't actually take them seriously. After all, looking at this world, there was only one monster like the Calamity of Mockery that aggregated so many consciousnesses.

Just...

One?

The moment the Red Star consciousness thought of this, a second dense torrent of audience members erupted from Chen Ling’s body!!

With the dormancy of Chen Ling’s consciousness and the disappearance of the power of "negation," the second Calamity of Mockery’s consciousness, which he had locked within his body, also completely broke free from its cage and spread frantically to the surroundings!

When the number of malicious audience members surging in this world doubled, the Red Star consciousness began to feel undisguised terror and astonishment.

Two Calamities of Mockery???

He actually had two Calamities of Mockery on him?!!

If the consciousness carried by one Calamity of Mockery only made the Red Star feel a bit tricky, then when this number doubled, it was more than just tricky...

The original situation suddenly changed from the Red Star unilaterally suppressing the black torrent to the black torrent in turn filling the crimson world.

These consciousnesses were indeed a pile of loose sand, but when their numbers were large enough, even loose sand could suppress the Red Star consciousness itself.

The situation that the Red Star consciousness had finally stabilized went out of control again.

……

Theater.

The howling wind still made the red curtain flap loudly.

At this moment, the theater was emptier than ever. The dense auditorium was empty, and even on the stage, there was only the figure of an actor in red, lying alone before the curtain...

I don't know how much time passed,

A reporter wearing a vest slowly squatted down beside him.

"Chen Ling..."

"Chen Ling!"

He pushed Chen Ling gently and called out.

In a daze,

A pair of ruby-like eyes slowly opened.

"Mr. Wen..." Chen Ling’s consciousness gradually regained clarity. He sat up with difficulty from the floor and looked around.

To be honest, Chen Ling didn't expect to have a chance to wake up. When he smashed the fourth wall at the end, he was determined to sink into the audience just like before.

But this time, although the audience was out of control, none of them competed with Chen Ling for the stage. They all rushed into the Red Star consciousness, and because of this, Chen Ling did not lose his self and become one of the audience.

But even so, Chen Ling had lost the power of "negation," turning from an omnipotent Calamity of Mockery into a "special calamity."

"Did we defeat the Red Star?" Chen Ling asked immediately.

Wen Shilin opened his mouth, but eventually fell into silence...

He raised his hand and pointed outside the curtain.

Chen Ling’s gaze followed his finger, only to see that the black torrent had occupied most of this world, but those Red Star consciousnesses had not been completely crushed. Instead, at the cost of shrinking their own area, they were guarding their positions like a rock.

That Red Star consciousness was like a battle-hardened general, guiding its own consciousness to slowly detour, wear down, and destroy the surrounding audience consciousnesses, like a surging vortex. Any audience member who approached would be forcibly swallowed.

Chen Ling’s brows furrowed tightly.

"We've come this far... and still couldn't defeat it??"

Before Chen Ling knocked open the fourth wall, he had already calculated the subsequent developments. He thought that the hundreds of thousands of malicious audience members from two Calamities of Mockery combined should be able to destroy the Red Star’s consciousness.

As long as the Red Star consciousness was destroyed, even if the Red Star itself was occupied by these audience members in the end, it would only become a chaotic and disorderly meteor, falling into self-division and infighting in the deep space of the universe. In this way, Earth could be preserved.

But he didn't expect that even after he had done all this, the Red Star consciousness could still hold a corner and stand tall...

Chen Ling was not one of those brainless audience members; he could see the situation clearly at a glance. Although the Red Star was at a disadvantage now, as long as it had enough time, it would sooner or later wear down these audience consciousnesses bit by bit and regain the initiative.

By then, erasing his consciousness would be a breeze.
