Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1286 - 133: Twin Stars of Severed Grace and Grudge Shine (Part 3)
"Jihui Bureau, Dawn Knight, Hero of the Firmament, Seventh Knight, Holy Fire Knight. Characters confirmed, identities inserted, location confirmed, arena of grudges, external support intrusion forbidden, dialogue arrangement complete, script rewrite finished—"
Situ Yi mechanically mumbled to himself, gazing at the five adversaries, his eyes igniting with an ashen fire. This was not a metaphor but a reality; he was truly burning himself, burning his soul, burning the principles that uphold the world!
"The gods wind the clockwork, and the machinery of the world begins to operate. All factors are determined, all developments are recorded, the play must be guided to its destined conclusion!" Situ Yi screamed, "Miracles? Dragon Species? Sentient beings? Meaningless, meaningless, meaningless! No need for decryption, no need for deliberation, use absolute power to complete the direction, 2.2 billion people’s will is my backing, the pinnacle principle forges the absolute, this is your destined conclusion—
Direction Creed · Fate’s Finale!" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
A myriad of voices blended together, like dozens of diverse actors singing a play simultaneously. The performance of a mad god was as twisted as his existence, comprehensible only by the director’s insistence, an all-consuming despair and madness of the play itself. His Creation Realm Skill was self-destructing, the Creation Realm named Mortal Theater emitted a silent wail, everything that once constituted its will was dismantled into the most basic threads. So many puppet strings were enough to cover the sky, as if the sky and the earth themselves had become the tendrils of a giant creature, imposing an irresistible sanction upon the tiny humans.
The despairing ashen fire burned on the threads, and the heavens and earth trembled with the mad god’s shrill laughter. This world seemed to have truly become a theater on the verge of collapse, bent on taking the director’s malice along with the remaining audience to the grave.
These threads pierced through starlight, brushed past holy fire, restrained weapons, bound limbs, invaded bodies, and with the "mass" of the Creation Realm’s pinnacle suppressed everyone’s hearts. The bodies of the five turned gray, even the mechanized god was buried under the threads. The god seized violence at the cost of self-harm, realizing the end named "Determinism" through that violence. In the battles so far, Situ Yi’s script had recorded all the powers exhibited by the enemies, transforming those records into "identities" and "roles," fixing the script’s content. It was absolute, an end, a fate bound to tragedy, the ultimate manifestation of the director’s creed!
[Jihui Bureau died in Mortal Theater]
[Dawn Knight died in Mortal Theater]
...
[Holy Fire Knight died in Mortal Theater]
Five grotesque puppets were hoisted by Situ Yi’s threads, as words crafted the final outcome. The mad god seized them in his hand, unleashing a manic, grating laugh.
"There’s no possibility left! All information has been recorded, the emphasis of the drama has been decided. This contest, it’s my victory!"
This was not the arrogance of a victor but the meticulous calculation of a schemer. He was the Faceless God who calculated human hearts, never to grow foolish or sluggish even in malignancy. The maintenance of the arena of grudges determined that external support could not arrive, the collective will gathered from the beginning granted him immense endurance, and all the intelligence gathered through countless battles enabled him to unleash this desperate finishing move. All strategies fit seamlessly, without any flaw.
Now there was no variable left in the theater; he burned his life but still persisted, he would obtain five brand-new puppets, envelop the entire United Nations, Cangdu, and even the whole world within the theater. He would still live, still roam freely, still rest easy, still be the supreme Faceless God!
Yet at this moment, Gongsun Ce laughed, laughed effortlessly, reminiscent of Situ Yi in the ruins explaining the script four years ago.
"Is that so? I’m not surprised at all, after all, your Creation Realm Skill claims to guide chaos but is actually complete control. What you care about most is variables; you’ll use every possible means to prevent their appearance..." Gongsun Ce sneered, curling his lips, "But have you ever thought, the ’identity’ you love assigning people so much, can change?"
The gray-haired youth was hunched at the moment, gray-white threads piercing various parts of his body, making him appear like a puppet on stage. Yet from an unknown strength, he straightened his chest, raising his head with the proud posture of a young man, shouting from the depths of his heart: "Macrow Wright, captain of the Morton Royal Knights, perished, leaving the captaincy vacant for years. I, as the attendant of Dawn Knight Alandia, honorary knight of the Knight Order, Gongsun Ce, hereby nominate myself to participate in the captain’s election!"
Old captain Macrow was momentarily astonished, then his eyebrows lifted in delight. The center of the entrusted Holy Fire Armor emitted a faint glow. That radiance pierced through Situ Yi’s threads, transforming into the voices of many reverberating among the ashen threads.
"Chief Mage Loninles Ricklu, acknowledged."
"Vice Captain Gafri Hughes, acknowledged."
"Fourth Seat Rakael Dan, acknowledged."
"..."
They were the acknowledgments of various knights and elder mages, with different voices harboring identical trust. The Holy Fire Armor entrusted with the authority of the capital’s higher-ups became the knight’s strength through trust that couldn’t be turned into combat power!
Orianna was so overwhelmed she nearly cried, tears streaming as she shouted: "Seventh Seat Orianna Cavon, acknowledged!"
The last knight stood beside Gongsun Ce, the storm in her gray eyes subsiding. Her portion of memory, unlocked earlier with Gongsun Ce’s handshake, left the Dawn Knight meeting the attendant’s gaze, with a liberated smile gracing her lips.
