Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 776: Wonderful Illusion (Request for Subscription)

Detrich, bathed in golden light, seemed as if he were blessed by the gods. When the golden light faded, his sickly pale skin was coated with a layer of dark gold, and he appeared just like a golden-armored samurai wielding two swords as he charged once more.

As they clashed again, Pei Yan instantly gained a new understanding of the combat abilities of the person before him. Under the golden glow, he could no longer be killed easily by Pei Yan's attacks. His body's resistance to blows increased more than tenfold. Moreover, his swords, after being enhanced, could pierce through Pei Yan's hard apparatus made of a mixture of materials and cause substantial damage.

After being killed by Pei Yan once more, Detrich's prowess grew again, and he gained the upper hand in the subsequent battles with Pei Yan. He, who had consistently been at a disadvantage, was now utterly consumed by madness in this fight. While frantically swinging his swords, he shouted crazily, "Do you know why that brute Suhabaru is both my most hated enemy and my best friend at the same time?"

"Why?" Faced with such self-disclosure from his enemy, Pei Yan usually accommodated such inquiries by playing along.

"My power is cloning. Each time one of my clones dies, the damage it has suffered is fed back to my remaining body, which allows me to convert that damage into strength and return it to the opponent! Only that indestructible Suhabaru could push me to my limits in battle through agony, awakening my combat potential. And only he can withstand my angry retaliation after awakening!"

Mid-speech, Detrich's attacks quickened a notch, continuing his mockery, "Among the Seven Deadly Sins of Divine Desire, I represent envy, envying due to failure, going mad due to envy! Although I don't like this designation at all, I must admit it fits perfectly because right now, I am really jealous of your existence!"

"What's with the changes in your body and the swords in your hands? Are they also an effect of your abilities?" Pei Yan asked while feigning defeat.

"Hmph, through our previous battles, you should know that each of us has undergone systematic transformation across several dimensions, acquiring enhancements matched with our abilities. The changes in my body are one of the manifestations of such enhancement. The swords in my hands and the armor on my body are forged from the finest materials of each dimension under Divine Desire. Perhaps at our initial encounter, their materials couldn't harm you, but my abilities can also extend to my weapon so that with each of my deaths, my weapon grows stronger! Pei Yan, I have become this formidable thanks to you. Now, aren't you regretting not killing me off completely the first time? Hahahaha, but even if you want to now, you can't!"

Facing Detrich's mockery, Pei Yan laughed instead of losing his temper, saying, "Grow stronger with every death; do you think you're some sort of Super Saiyan? Well, you've revealed all your secrets! The time's almost up, and my patience ends here, so you can go to hell!"

Just as Pei Yan finished speaking and was about to launch his final assault to finish off his opponent, he heard Detrich roar into emptiness as he dodged, "Amendina! Aren't you ready yet? Really going to stand by and watch to the end? What will you do against him once I'm dead?"

"Stop rushing; it's already done!" A pleasant voice suddenly rang in Pei Yan's ear, and he was momentarily dazed. An exquisite figure suddenly appeared beside Detrich, casting a charming glance at him. Seeing this figure, Pei Yan couldn't help but let out a cold smile, completely unmoved as he prepared to attack further.

At this critical juncture, a flash occurred in the parallel space, and two figures suddenly appeared within it. Seeing the arrivals, Amendina and Detrich both showed looks of terror, while Pei Yan was overjoyed—the newcomers were none other than Zheng Jia Ru and Xia Yu.

"Why are you here!" Pei Yan was excited and elated upon seeing the two appear.

"After being pulled into the space, we encountered a formidable opponent and exerted all our efforts to resolve it, then the Space Lock was lifted. We chose your space and came immediately to assist!" Xia Yu answered breathlessly, clutching her heaving chest.

Flushed with the excitement of the victorious meeting, Pei Yan seemed to have forgotten to ask how the two had entered the parallel space without his permission, or maybe he deliberately chose to forget. After their meeting, the three's strength surged, and within a few rounds, they took down Detrich and Amendina together.

With the battle's end, the trio was finally able to escape, leaving the ill-fated Divine Artifact Space and reuniting with Pei Jin, Ye Ruozai, and others outside. They then hacked their way through obstacles, succeeding in passing multiple levels and winning the competition. Following that, Pei Yan shone brightly in the subsequent individual match, defeating all the top fighters from various dimensions and winning first place!

Returning with glory and rewards, Pei Yan received the highest honors and countless admiring glances at the investigation hall once again, from among which was Zhao Yuanhu, whom he cared about. The emotions between the two rapidly intensified, soon confirming their relationship. Meanwhile, a piece of bad news suddenly arrived. Ye Jiumu, whose blood poison was delayed by time freezing, unfortunately succumbed as the efforts to save him failed. Pei Yan and the people at the investigation hall were deeply sorrowful, with Xia Yu being the most pained, gloomy day after day. To console Xia Yu's emotions, Pei Yan sought revenge for Ye Jiumu while also taking time to care meticulously for her.

As time flew by, feelings blossomed between them over time. Pei Yan found himself hopelessly trapped in the pleasure of an affair and the guilt towards Zhao Yuanhu. In this triangle relationship, he simultaneously suffered and indulged.

Outside the parallel space, gazing at the mechanical body that was poised to strike yet stood still motionless, Detrich, already exhausted from the battle, finally let out a long sigh of relief. Looking toward Amendina standing beside him, he inquired, "Has he already fallen for your trick?"

Amendina did not immediately answer him but instead mockingly criticized his sorry state, "Weren't you quite impressive just now? I thought with you gaining the upper hand, you wouldn't need my help to resolve this!"

"What do you know! Cough cough cough!" Detrich remarked, giving a dry cough and standing straight while holding his waist to catch his breath, "Even for cloning and splitting, original energy is needed. Although my body has been enhanced to the maximum extent, the number of splits is nearing its limit. If Pei Yan still has more cards to play, then only failure awaits me. The reason for all the talking earlier was merely to attract his attention and create an opportunity for you. Huff! So, now, your spell has succeeded? He's already enchanted by you?"
