Chapter 808

~7 min read 1,270 words

The shadow monster could no longer remain indifferent.

Or rather, it had fallen into complete panic.

It looked at the darkness around it becoming thinner and thinner, trying to do something to change the scene before it, but its mind was blank, at a loss, and it had no way to deal with it.

……

It was like surviving the eternal night, shivering in the cold winter, and seeing the dawn on the horizon when life was about to come to an end.

"Success! Success! He succeeded!"

"Thank God, he did it."

Bronya and Seele breathed a sigh of relief together.

From D-14134, they saw many familiar figures who were no longer there.

If the Foundation agents symbolized the pioneers, then D-14134 was undoubtedly the successor, and the pathfinder who surpassed the pioneers!

Tenacious, not easily defeated, with something more noble than life in his heart!

They urgently wanted to know the subsequent progress.

Wanted to know how all this ended, wanted to know D-14134's ending.

This had nothing to do with whether they had met or known each other; it only concerned the nobility that had existed in the depths of human consciousness since ancient times.

……

Pain!

So painful!

My heart hurts so much!

On the altar, D-14134 only felt that his heart was incredibly painful, as if pierced by a steel rod; no, it was more like having a dull knife cut open the valves and pouring chili oil on it.

Click... D-14134 gritted his teeth, his face pale; he wanted to turn over, but found he didn't even have the strength to struggle.

But the situation was still worsening.

He felt his brain throbbing abnormally, his entire mind filled and stirred by sounds that were chaotic to the extreme.

Roars full of anger and despair, growls coming from the depths of hell, needle-like shrieks...

The intense pain originating from inside his body, the pain spreading from the depths of his spirit...

Just one would be enough to make one unbearable, let alone the two combined!

D-14134 was already finding it hard to think.

He was like facing a tsunami, resisting an avalanche naked; just staying alive required all his effort, so how could he have the energy to think more?!

His breathing was rapid and heavy, his body was trembling violently, sweat slid down his forehead, soaking his clothes.

His eyes were tightly shut, his brows tightly locked, his expression twisted..

……

"Hold on! Hold on!" some players shouted, immersed in the scene.

"Just a little bit more!" others felt their hearts pounding, forgetting to breathe.

……

Before starting this naive plan, he had envisioned such an outcome.

Even if the heart could really become a new cage, it should be one cage for one prisoner, sitting in rows, eating fruit.

Instead of stuffing all the prisoners into one cage.

Federal prisons no longer accept prisoners because there are too many of them.

What's more, his heart was still flesh and blood, neither reinforced concrete nor the mysterious Lord.

From the moment it turned into a cage, it had to start suffering pressure from the inside out, until it finally burst completely.

That would be very painful.

Unprecedentedly painful.

He had long been clear about this, but the moment it all happened, he almost gave up, almost raised his gun to end it all.

It was like a roller coaster dozens of meters high starting to dive vertically.

No matter how prepared you are, you can't beat the moment it truly arrives.

And the intensity he was enduring was hundreds, thousands of times that of a roller coaster.

There were over a hundred monsters here in total.

Compressing them all into one heart was like the Three-Body people showing mercy before descending, confining all humans on Earth to Australia.

And D-14134's situation could only be said to be worse than that.

Every time a new shadow monster was successfully sealed into his heart, D-14134's unbearable pain intensified by a point.

Every inch of muscle on his body was wailing, his fingers tightly gripping the edge of the altar, his knuckles turning white.

But this was not enough.

He still had to try to ignore the unwilling roars and growls coming from countless monsters in his mind, while concentrating on gritting his teeth, trying to resist the tendency of his heart to tear.

The room was full of light, the floor was burning fiercely, and the flames were happily licking everything they could lick.

The floor under the shadow monster's feet also rose with blue smoke and suddenly caught fire, but it was completely unaffected.

The firelight flickered, and all the shadows in the room existed only on the ceiling.

The shadow stared fixedly at D-14134 on the altar, its face twisted, and in the light and shadow, it looked even more ferocious.

Rarely, it was angry out of shame for the first time.

It approached slowly; with every step it took, the power from the ritual became stronger, pulling its compatriots away and repelling it outward.

As powerful as it was, it took quite some time to cover these few meters.

Time is fair and will not appear on only one side.

When D-14134 walked to the altar, D-14134 also suffered the same amount of torture.

In the shadow's eyes, D-14134 was already at the end of his rope.

Just a little interference, exerting a little power, would be enough to completely crush this annoying ant.

The shadow stared tightly at the bug on the altar, revealing a ferocious smile.

—I won't let anyone disturb the Lord's plan!

It raised its hand, preparing to give D-14134 the final blow.

But the moment the attack fell, a miracle happened.

Perhaps it was the danger perception D-14134 had practiced these days, or perhaps he had been guarding against the shadow's attack all along.

At this critical moment, he, who was on his last breath, 3.0 actually managed to raise his knife, blocking the path of the shadow's arm.

This was probably his final struggle.

The power of both sides was not on the same level, let alone one being full of vitality and the other on the verge of death.

Accompanied by the sound of metal snapping and the crisp sound of bone breaking, the knife in D-14134's hand, and the arm holding the knife, broke one after another.

The knife broke into several pieces, the fragments scattered, leaving three bloody marks on his face.

Such a price was indeed painful, but at this moment, D-14134 felt it was extremely worthwhile.

At least, he bought a few seconds...

At least, his life could continue for a while longer...

At least...

Standing in front of the altar, the shadow monster looked at D-14134, who was tortured by extreme pain, his face twisted, his expression still ferocious.

Resist? Resist! Resist!! You're still going to die!!!

One strike missed, and it prepared to raise its hand again to crush this half-dead bug.

Just then, its body jolted violently.

The shadow suddenly felt the repulsive force on its body disappear, and immediately after, an incredibly strong gravitational force came, tearing at its body, wanting to take it to a certain place.

It lowered its head, full of astonishment.

It had no companions around it anymore, and its form had also turned back into the initial humanoid shape.

Time's up.

It had no chance.

No!

I don't want to be locked in a cage again!

Lord! Lord! Are you still watching me?

It struggled to retreat, but the attraction kept increasing, sucking it up, extending, stretching, dragging it straight toward the heart-cage.
