Chapter 598: Kill That Iron Man

Wind echoed through the empty ruins, the outlines of buildings blurred, and dust filled the air, making the sky unusually gloomy.

But fortunately, today was another day the Savior Su Yulin freely sacrificed himself to save the world.

Don't ask why the world nearly ended.

In any case, after "Su Lin" paid a tremendous price, the world's crisis was finally resolved.

"How's that? Did I lie?" Huiye walked up to Su Lin with a smile, counting on her fingers: "I died 345 times just for you."

"Could you please die ten thousand more times?" Su Lin said with a template smile.

"What a heartless man," Huiye sighed, spreading her hands. "Don't you feel even a little moved?!"

Moved by the bloody scene of women fighting over me?

Although seeing several women brawl over me isn't entirely a loss,

Su Lin, who had never shed a tear before, thought of the shattered, slowly repairing sandbox universe and his eyes filled with tears.

"I'm so moved I'm about to cry."

"It seems your affection for me has increased. How will you thank me?"

Huiye clutched her chest in an expectant, fluttering gesture: "Let me warn you—if you're going to confess—"

"I'll take Fujiwara Mei Hong away from you eventually," Su Lin said.

Huiye watched Su Lin pass by, incredulous:

"Fujiwara Mei Hong is mine… no, you're still thinking about that turkey you've never even met?!"

Ignoring the Neet's shouts behind him, Su Lin reverted the Skylight to his belt and walked toward Farah, who seemed to have returned to normal.

He reached for the Star to pull his belt, then walked up to Farah under Yi Leina's piercing gaze.

Su Lin cautiously greeted her:

"Are you alright?"

This one should be an independent anchor—or Farah from the normal timeline.

Logically, she had no connection with Su Lin and shouldn't harbor any undying emotions.

"After she was satisfied, the emotional and mental disturbances transmitted to me decreased greatly," Farah explained, eyeing Su Lin curiously:

"After returning to the Other Shore of Law, she couldn't act in the Void. Considering your possible amnesia and rebirth, she kept this past fragment in an independent state."

That's why Su Lin always found the relationships after timeline convergence strange—handle them carelessly and they'd be even messier than the Other Shore adepts' ties with Meng Qi.

"Based on your understanding of yourself,"

Su Lin pointed at the silhouette of the library woven from crimson mana and asked: "After they meet, how long until they go into heat and do something indecent?"

Meng Qi: "?"

Lu Mingfei: "?"

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan: "?"

Including most group members, no one understood how this guy could seriously ask such an outrageous question in public.

"If you hadn't been killed by me, and you'd come to me with sweet words, probably," Farah tilted her head, estimating:

"She'd collapse in one minute. If there's no interference within three minutes, she'd probably start taking off her clothes."

You're outrageous too?!

"Then I'll have to calculate his level of craving," Su Lin pulled out a pocket watch, watching the hands turn. After thirty seconds, he snapped it shut with a smile:

"About right."

The portal opened by the cross-realm talisman flared again; as Luo Shengying stepped out, her expression froze.

She looked at Farah, then at the library silhouette behind her woven from mana—stunned as if struck by lightning, instantly understanding everything.

"I heard you two are old friends, close as can be, so I thought I shouldn't hide it from you."

Su Lin smiled apologetically: "Though that guy said he wanted to give you a surprise."

Amid the stunned expressions and blank stares of those around him, Su Lin walked to Luo Shengying and handed her a set of talismans.

"Recently made Yesterday Reenactment. The material's ontological grade comes from Azathoth—it can briefly restore you to your peak state."

Su Lin made a sneaky gesture and whispered: "You know—I sometimes ship Su-Luo."

Luo Shengying blinked, then smiled brightly: "Thanks, cousin."

Among the Sovereigns of the Cosmos, some beings possess the power to kill a Sovereign Emperor; though they usually can't prevent their return, with certain unique supreme treasures, delaying them is sufficient.

That's why, during the final battle, "Su Lin" brought the Sovereigns of all worlds to join the suicide mission.

"Don't mention it. Take this too—I don't know if it'll work," Su Lin handed her an Infinity Gauntlet, then asked the red-haired witch:

"Could you do me a favor?"

Farah said nothing, but the silhouette of the library behind her split open a crack.

"What's going on, old woman? Where are you going?!" Luo Xiaoying shouted from behind.

Yet as she softly uttered "Yesterday," the petite girl, entwined in black thorned lightning, smiled sweetly and walked in without looking back.

Within seconds, the library silhouette behind Farah began to violently tremble.

"I never knew"

"You had this much guts."

Inside the cross-temporal grand library, Su Tuoni stared at the environment and layout etched into his DNA, his body convulsing as if touched by an electric eel, then

his legs stiffened, freezing him suspended in midair.

"I'm screwed."

Su Tuoni felt his soul-state being filled with flesh forged by the Ultimate Law's truth—but he felt no joy, only a choking grip around his throat, his voice trapped inside.

He'd already despised Su Lin for cheating him out of points and making him clean up the mess—but now, he wished that bastard were even more shameless.

"You… why… why…"

The void is so vast, the timeline so chaotic—how on earth did they even meet?!

Crimson magic crumbled away like petals from palm and lotus arm, revealing the true form hidden beneath the laws.

Waist-length hair as vividly red as flame, bright crimson-gold eyes, and a snow-white swan's neck with not a single flaw on her face.

"Not only have you grown wings, but you've grown more of them than before."

"Let me explain."

Boom—!

Dust swirled, the earth shook, vast streams of starlight and magic spilled from the collapsing, warped space, yet the books around them remained perfectly in place.

"Who gave you permission to speak?" Crimson strands fell across Su Tuoni's face; his crimson-gold eyes blazed brighter.

"Everything you are—even every breath—belongs to me."

She gripped Su Tuoni's throat with both hands, squeezing tighter.

"But you dared abandon me to die with that stray cat?"

Tick-tack, tick-tack

Didn't know how to answer.

Couldn't even greet her with a natural "long time no see," yet seeing her face, and the damp raindrops falling onto it as if from another world.

"So beautiful."

He couldn't help but reach out to touch her cheek.

"It's good to be alive."

"You're about to die again."

The crimson witch's eyes reflected that face—her killing intent unchanged.

"I'm already prepared," Su Tuoni said, as if resigned to his fate: "My life was saved by you too, wasn't it?"

He extended his other hand, threading through the hair on the opposite side to cup the back of her ear, gently lifting the witch's face, filled with fury and killing intent.

"I've missed you so much, my witch."

Under normal circumstances, Su's autobiography "Century of the Asura" instructions always worked on Fa La—she'd immediately soften.

Su Tuoni smiled helplessly.

'But this time, I've angered her too much.'

Dying for revenge on one's own accord—when you put it like that—

At the very moment of ultimate transcendence, he'd felt it: an impossibly familiar, longed-for gaze, watching from far across the other side.

Surely after that, she too had kept gazing back at that moment of herself.

"If you want to live off my income, I can support you."

"What?"

Su Tuoni was startled.

Fa La said: "You like my personality, don't you?"

Su Tuoni suddenly remembered his earlier conversation with that guy.

So that's how it was.

I'd intended to trick that guy into leaving the 2D world, into the trap laid by his original fate-asura scene—but he passed it on to Fa La?!

No matter how wildly her personality evolved, how abstract or insane her thinking became, she's still one of us!

Realizing she'd already helped him set up the knife, creating a buffer opportunity, Su Tuoni seized the moment, wrapped his arms around the girl's neck, and slowly drew her closer.

"Not like."

Su Tuoni pressed against her ear and whispered: "I love you."

The hands gripping his throat suddenly tightened—but instantly—

Slowly loosened.

Su Tuoni pulled her close, flipped her over, and pinned her to the ground, kissing her crimson lips with possessive intensity.

"Wait—what's this forbidden form you've fused from multiple Creator Origins?"

"Forget about that lunatic."

So what if she's a yandere?

As long as the level is high enough, mutual devotion becomes love.

Crack-crack

Su Tuoni frowned—where was that lightning coming from?

'Hold back.'

'But how can you hold back any longer when it's this sad?'

Su Lin covered his mouth, lifting his head to suppress his tears.

Inside the library, multiple hums and blinding, world-shattering flashes of light erupted; afterward, the already blurred outlines of everything vanished completely.

"The information pheromones flowing from upper to lower layers have disappeared," Fa La said, puzzled:

"But with her power, she should be unable to touch the future me in her own domain."

"'I' always protect the weaker side," Su Lin said, unsurprised: "After all, balance exists in all things."

Nothing compares to the taste of home—it rivals the finest imperial banquet.

"That does make sense," Fa La nodded slightly: "But then, he'll die even worse."

"Amen," Su Lin made the sign of the cross over his chest.

"What are you two talking about?" Luo Xiaoying asked, bewildered:

"Cousin, what exactly is going on here?"

What a naive, pink-cheeked fool—how did you grow up to become someone so dark and domineering?

"Nothing much," Su Lin said. "She's over there fighting over a man; she won't be back anytime soon."

"Oh," Luo Xiaoying realized.

"Even the crazy fox spirit the old woman mentioned came to fight over a man. The old woman's truly pitiful—she's been fighting for years and still hasn't won Big Cousin."

Fa La: "."

Is the crazy fox spirit talking about herself?

Leaving aside what was happening here, Meng Qi, who was watching from the sidelines, felt he and his companions were utterly stunned.

Why were these three people, originally bound by romantic ties, standing together harmoniously analyzing and discussing the emotional histories of Parallel Worlds—even adding fuel to the fire to enjoy the spectacle?!

After realizing Su Lin had gone mad enough to target his own future self, someone suddenly felt a chill run down their back.

'Damn.'

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan noticed Su Lin glancing at him and instantly shuddered.

"Do you have any objections to your future self?" Su Lin asked.

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan was confused: "What?"

"The tradition of the Holy Grail War," Su Lin said, looking at the others.

"There are often ideological conflicts between the future and the present, but power and experience usually give the future the upper hand."

What is this person suddenly talking about?

"I have a way to let you take the upper hand over your future, just like me," Su Lin said.

"What way?" Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan became interested.

"Just marry several concubines. Your future Emperor of Flame will inevitably face the cleaver in the Infinite Flame Realm. Think about it—any conflict can be passed on to the future."

This…

Seems somewhat reasonable.

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan stared for a moment. The method was indeed feasible—but something felt off.

Patting Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan on the shoulder, Su Lin recalled the core of "My Sandbox World." Though the primary targets taking blows had been First Azure Sky and Eternity, this embryonic multiverse artifact had also been rendered ragged due to Fa La's forced breakthrough.

The Holy Grail War's battlefield was ruined; the Reincarnators and Heroic Spirits had probably fled to the normal world.

Fa La pointed at the sandbox core in Su Lin's hand and said: "I can help you repair that."

"That's truly a relief," Su Lin said, surprised.

"You're welcome," Fa La said, glancing at Yi Leina.

"After all, you're also my ex-husband."

Su Lin: "."

What's it like to have an ex-wife when you've never even married?

Somehow, Fa La seemed rational, almost normal. Strange—could it be that the problem wasn't with them, but with Su Lin himself?

Su Lin's expression shifted slightly, then he shook his head and asked:

"How long will your magic-sealing effect last?"

Fa La thought for a moment, then answered:

"Divine Prohibition: Heaven and Earth Cut Off—a permanent state unless interfered with. If a powerful being attempts to cast spells, once accumulated to a certain threshold, it will gradually restore from low-magic to high-magic phases."

Truly a weapon that cuts off lineage and digs up ancestral graves.

Because Fa La had enacted the "Magic-Sealing" technique, this world would remain secure for a long time to come.

And our side was nearly due to submit our Reincarnation space mission. Speaking of Reincarnation space—

"I merely made a deal with the Research Institute of the Grave of All Things to investigate the Holy Grail War and temporal entanglements."

"Even if the deal is canceled, the goal has already been achieved."

Fa La briefly explained, then frowned slightly: "A team has learned that you, as the Creator, were involved in this."

"It's just an IP crossover—no big deal," Su Lin said, turning to Tony Stark, who was staring at his Reincarnation wristwatch. "Even after we complete the mission and leave, the world will remain safe for a short while after the crossover ends, so you needn't worry."

"Uh, sorry," Stark looked up, glanced again at the display on his wristwatch, and said: "Are you certain?"

Loki watched the old janitor leave with cleaning tools, his brow relaxing as he exhaled slowly.

Through the link, he sent a message in the group:

"Nuclear launch canceled—he suddenly believed we were good people."

But strangely, the group remained silent.

It was strange—the group was completely silent.
