Chapter 980: One Wave Unsettled (2/2, Requesting Moon Tickets)

How is this possible?!

The Fifth Prince widened his eyes—his ability had never been broken like this before!

Though he wanted to do something, his body remained uncontrollable, rushing wildly toward Fang Yue, as if bound by fixed code, forced to complete only the first-stage command before proceeding to the next action.

In the normal flow of time, to outsiders, the Fifth Prince always appeared before his enemies as if teleporting.

But in Fang Yue's eyes, aided by the parchment's power, reaching Rain-level strength and releasing the Still World…

Everything was different.

Like channels synchronized, time flow reached sync speed—every secret was no longer a secret!

Within the same time-flow realm, the Fifth Prince's movements were at normal speed—though still fast, they were no longer the sudden appearances and disappearances of before.

Even…

"Deception Power, double!"

The burn rate of Deception Value instantly doubled!

The Fifth Prince, who had just been moving at extreme speed, immediately slowed to half his pace!

Faced with this, the Fifth Prince had no recourse—only widened his eyes in shock and terror, staring at Fang Yue!

"Looks like even identical types of Deception Abilities have strengths and weaknesses!"

Fang Yue's body moved—like bearing a thousand jin of weight, like moving at the bottom of the deep sea under crushing pressure—every motion slowed to turtle-speed, even slower than the Fifth Prince's.

But…

【SPEED!!】

Thighs, stride open!

Speed, surge!

Fang Yue became a black shadow, sweeping across the earth like a black line—during the mutual approach, in a single breath, he had already reached the Fifth Prince's face!

As if the fixed program had completed its code execution, the instant he arrived before Fang Yue, the Fifth Prince's time-flow influence vanished—then he was instantly trapped within Fang Yue's Still World!

"Instant… Shadow!!"

Facing the incoming black longsword, the Fifth Prince roared inwardly.

The dormant Deception Power activated again—his body, uncontrollable, broke free from time-flow constraints and shifted to Fang Yue's side!

Then he saw light—black light, hundreds upon thousands of black beams piercing through his body, his consciousness plunging instantly into darkness.

【SPEED!!】

【POWER!!】

【SLASH!!】

The three characters appeared together—in an instant, Fang Yue's Empty Ice Sword Art moved so swiftly not even sword shadows could be seen, slicing straight through the Fifth Prince's body.

The moment Fang Yue sheathed his sword and dissolved the Still World…

Boom!!

The Fifth Prince's corpse exploded into hundreds of shattered fragments, utterly lifeless!

What should have been a graceful sheathing motion—yet at that final instant, Fang Yue suddenly felt a suffocating stabbing pain in his chest, his eyes snapping wide, frozen in place.

The pain instantly spread from his chest throughout his entire body!

His body gradually turned to paper!

Boom!!

At that very moment, thunder cracked.

Amid the thunder, Heavy Rain poured down.

Beneath the Heavy Rain, high above Juan Niao Lou and still some distance away, the glow of one 【Rain-Repelling Pearl】 suddenly dimmed.

Meanwhile, at Juan Niao Lou, the Black Worm Deceptions locked in battle with Captain Wu stared, eyes bulging, hearts nearly bursting.

"Lord Fifth Prince?!"

"No!!"

"How dare a mere human do this?!"

"The Wu Yu Clan will never forgive you!!"

The Black Worms went mad, charging recklessly toward Fang Yue—their formation chaotic, staggered front and back—only to be struck down one by one by a golden light chasing from behind.

The Black Worm Deception closest to Fang Yue, just one meter away, had its chest pierced through by a blinding golden fist, forever frozen in place.

And this—the last Black Worm Deception present!

"Phew…"

As Captain Wu retracted his fist, the golden aura fading from his body, he smiled at Fang Yue and said, "Brother, how was that?"—but his smile froze instantly.

Because the Fang Yue before him was spreading across his face like a plague—layer upon layer of paper-like creases, not just on his face, but everywhere across his entire body.

Plop.

Fang Yue collapsed helplessly to his knees, his eyes seemingly blind, consciousness fading—he offered a wan smile toward the sound's source.

"Never thought… it would end like this… Captain Wu, please look after You Sisi…"

Thud.

As his words ended, Fang Yue fell backward onto the ground, completely still.

"No… no no no! No no no!!"

Captain Wu's mind went deafeningly blank—the next instant he lunged forward in a frenzy to lift Fang Yue, but the man had no breath left, his body even flattening, turning into a human-shaped… parchment!

"This can't be real… this can't be real! Night Captain, wake up… wake up!!"

【Fang Yue! Fang Yue!!】

【Wake up! Wake up!!】

【Great and Noble Parchment Lord commands you: do not die! Do not die!!】

【What do I do! What do I do! Time Reversal is my own power—if I activate Time Reversal, before its power takes effect, the energy I've drawn will first completely corrode his body, turning it entirely to paper. Once that point is reached, if even his consciousness disperses, it will be true death—Time Reversal cannot save him!】

【But if I don't use Time Reversal, I have no other way to save him!】

【What do I do! What on earth do I do! Use your little brain and think hard!! I am the Noble Parchment Lord!!】

The adorable girl, on her pink bed, was frantic, tearing out several strands of her hair. Before her, the white light representing Fang Yue's consciousness was rapidly dimming, on the verge of total annihilation.

【Is there any way! Is there any way! Is…】

Suddenly, the adorable girl froze in motion, snapping her head up to stare at the light moments from total darkness.

【That's right—I can use… that technique!】

The girl's gaze slowly lifted, as if gazing into the night sky of a phantom space, or perhaps at… some presence. Then, slowly, she whispered incantatory words.

【Heaven's Chains! All wanderers are threads, threads connected to Heaven's…】

Hum!!

Before the Parchment could even repeat the words once spoken by the leader of the Black Moon Organization, the Moon Lord, she felt as if an unimaginably terrifying presence had pierced through infinite time and space, seeing through her entirely—her entire body froze rigid.

And in the next instant…

The light representing Fang Yue's consciousness vanished with a whoosh!

The girl, bound to that light by a soul contract, was immediately yanked forcibly out of this world!
