I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 409 - 274: The Last Link! No Return!_2
Chapter 409: Chapter 274: The Last Link! No Return!_2
Chen Lun was sitting alone on the ruins of the villa, turning his head to look towards the distant street corner.
A small team of investigators from the Shelter was hiding under a large tree, secretly observing from this side, among them the leader was an acquaintance, Ralph.
Chen Lun gave him a slight nod as a greeting.
The two tacitly did not engage in contact or conversation.
Dongyang and the other players gathered on the other side, their mission already completed, a few players had already left, but most stayed to see how the “plot would unfold.”
Chen Lun ignored them.
...
Earlier in the Sun Church area of Fossil City, he had not had much time to observe himself after his promotion; now, however, he could settle down and do a brief check.
‘Panel.’
Chen Lun muttered silently.

[Evaluation: After a long journey through time, you have become a powerful middle sequence Transcendent, which can indeed be regarded as a veteran in the Mystic Realm… However, in the eyes of the truly high existences, you are still among the lesser ones.]
After browsing through it all, Chen Lun felt quite satisfied.
Besides that.
The most apparent change in himself was that he found he could now vaguely sense his own “line of destiny.”
This might not be an accurate description, but it conveys the idea more intuitively.
Chen Lun could faintly “see” his own destiny, mostly obscured by the fog, with only parts of it faintly visible in an irregular trajectory.
Although he did not know what this meant, he could at least use it as a basis to discern whether Howard had intervened to alter his destiny or not.
As it stood, Chen Lun did not feel anything out of the ordinary.
Perhaps as the “Destiny Giant Serpent” Oscar Your Majesty said, Howard schemed against Chen Lun, but was thwarted by Oscar who lay in wait, losing not only an important incarnation but also some of his power, and likely wouldn’t make a move against Chen Lun again anytime soon.
As for the others.
After becoming [Sequence Six-Aerial Acrobat], like in previous promotions, the abilities from earlier Sequences [Beast Tamer], [Diviner], and [Magician] were all overlaid and enhanced once more.
Each sequence’s unique skills were more or less improved.
Most noteworthy among them was [Animal Mimicry]. Chen Lun found he could now simultaneously activate ten traits, achieving a true “ten-in-one” transformation.
Also, his weight in divination and mystical resistance had both increased.
The magician’s tricks seemed to have reached a peculiar state, able to undergo a qualitative change through some method, like “levitation,” “Great Human Transformation,” and “Cage Escape,” and ultimately turning into higher-level magic like [Aerial Walk] and [Instantaneous Movement].
Only because something necessary was missing, it was temporarily unrealizable.

Chen Lun, through the powerful spiritual intuition gained after his promotion and the sixth sense unique to the Destiny Sequence, reached a conclusion.
That was knowledge.
He needed relevant knowledge to make the magician’s tricks even more powerful.
‘Just right… The opportunities I plan to look for in the future include mythical books, which might come in handy!’
Chen Lun was full of anticipation.
‘However, before that, there is one last thing to do… This is also an important part of wrapping up the plan!’
At that moment.
Clack, clack…
The slow, heavy footsteps produced by greaves treading on the ground arrived behind Chen Lun.
Chen Lun smiled lightly, without turning his head, he said:
“Mr. Byers, I owe you a lot this time.”
“No need to be so formal…”
A deep voice came from beneath the wolf helmet.
The knight, dressed in black ancient armor, placed his black long sword in front of him and gently rested both hands on the hilt, standing beside Chen Lun.
The two men, one standing and one sitting, silently watched the ruin-like scene.
After a while.
“I should be thanking you, Jack, for being willing to strategize for me and help me with my revenge…”
Byers said.
“This is just the beginning, Mr. Byers… Besides, if the sanctification ritual you spoke of is accurate, then the outcome should not be too bad, it might even be a pleasant surprise.”
Chen Lun maintained his smile.
“After dealing with Lafa, Terence will most likely come after me… But currently, the Daytime Obelisk is not yet finished, He is likely to remain stationed in the Church district; those coming after me are likely to be senior priests or His incarnations… My intuition tells me, it’s more likely the latter.
The light split from the Sun Saint, containing a wisp of His true soul, perfectly fits your sanctification ritual. If it is as I expect, then we must make sure He has no return!”
Chen Lun’s plan was not just about playing off forces against each other, using Terence’s hand to eliminate Lafa and opportunistically ascending to Sequence 6… The final part was not merely about leading the team to escape. He was planning to join forces with Mr. Byers to intercept the light split pursuing Terence!
This was a daring gamble!
A scheme of wild ferocity!
Once successful, the Circus’s evacuation would be virtually worry-free, and Chen Lun would earn a hefty beyond-grade kill reward. An incarnation of the Twelve Bishops of the Solar Monastery, also being a high-ranking entity, offered a considerable reward.
Simultaneously, Mr. Byers’ ritual of “Ferrying the Saint’s Soul” would be fulfilled, smoothly stepping into the higher Sequence and ascending to become the Moon Saint.
In a way, as Mr. Byers’ nemesis, Chen Lun was helping him set the stage for revenge… He would eventually garner tremendous favor from the Moon Saint.
Four birds with one stone!
This last part was originally improvised by Chen Lun after seeking Mr. Byers’ help and learning critical information about the sanctification ceremony, specifically tailored against Terence.
Even Byers was shocked when he heard the full plan.
He had not anticipated that Jack would design such a “crazy” performance.
But in the end, Byers chose to trust him and was willing to accompany him in this thrilling performance.
‘Mr. Jack!’
‘Leader!’
At that moment.
Chen Lun saw Floey and Noah, along with the remaining team members, running towards him. So he stood up and went to meet them.
As he left, he whispered behind him:
“Mr. Byers, I’ll take them and leave first… See you later.”
“Alright.”
The Black Knight answered with a deep voice.
Beneath the wolf helmet, within the shadows, was Byers’ complex face.
And a pair of bright eyes filled with anticipation.
