Chapter 413: Finding It Nowhere After Endless Searching
Passing through that door, Xu Yi returned to the previous metal corridor, where the walls and floor were smeared with blackened bloodstains; yet, in Xu Yi's eyes at this moment, there was a slight feeling of warmth.
"Five days later."
Alisha jumped off Xu Yi's shoulder, leaving behind these words before her figure disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
Xu Yi felt heavy-hearted, understanding the implication of Alisha's words.
Five days later, such a massacre would recur, no, it would be even more brutal.
Because those who had survived the last round of killing were all powerful beings.
The opponents were getting stronger, and what was even more deadly was that he still had no way to resolve the issue of his murderous desire.
Could it be that when the time came, he would simply allow his soul to become corrupted and completely lose his sanity?
Xu Yi returned to his previous room and hadn't yet had the chance to explore further when suddenly it became bright outside the window.
The drifting ash and dense fog appeared once more, and he again lost the ability to move, immobilized on the spot.
Since he couldn't move, Xu Yi took the opportunity to calm down and think about the next plan.
Undoubtedly, the most urgent matter was to find a way to fuse with the darkness crystal.
Only then could he obtain more Sub-Divine Power to withstand the next Ruins War.
Moreover, there was another benefit; if the Soul Split could fuse with the darkness crystal, then when it returned to the Main Soul later, he could save the step of fusion.
But the problem now was, how could he fuse with the darkness crystal?
He tried to actively fuse with the darkness crystal, but to no avail.
After much thought, he felt that it was likely due to his transformation into Pyramid Head.
He didn't know how long had passed when Xu Yi once again heard the urgent air raid siren. The drifting ash outside the window disappeared, and the heavy darkness fell, restoring his ability to move.
He stood up and, dragging the heavy cleaver, entered the corridor he had been in before.
The door at the end of the corridor had changed, transforming into a simple metal grid door.
Amidst the grating sound of metal, Xu Yi pushed open the door. As soon as he crossed the threshold, a mass of shadows surged from both sides.
Xu Yi gripped the handle of his cleaver tightly, but then he let go almost immediately.
The large mass of shadows comprised swarms of cockroaches, each one the size of a fist with human faces, looking ferocious and hateful.
However, the appearance of such cockroaches seemed perfectly reasonable in this bizarre place.
The human-faced cockroaches swarmed around Xu Yi as he walked forward. He didn't feel threatened by the human-faced cockroaches; rather, he felt an inexplicable sense of closeness.
Outside the door lay the same corridor, but both sides were lined with metal cages. Inside the cages were charred human figures who, hearing the noise, threw themselves against the doors, stretching their arms out in an attempt to grasp something, their mouths emitting pained moans.
Xu Yi stared at the charred human figures, feeling an inexplicable surge of abhorrence.
This surge of abhorrence seemed completely unprovoked, as if... bestowed upon him by this world.
He raised the cleaver in his hand and, with a single swing, severed the reaching arms with One Breath Slash.
In the moment he severed those arms, he sensed a gaze on him, carrying a feeling of familiarity.
Xu Yi walked out of the prison, ascending, and the buildings around him were coated with a layer of sticky, black blood. Still, he could make out the occasional landmark indicating that this was a school.
His footsteps were heavy, attracting the entities inside the school, which were also groups of charred human shapes but smaller in stature, likely the students of this school.
The charred human shapes swarmed towards him, and Xu Yi casually knocked them away.
He walked directly toward a corner of the school, drawn by something there.
He stopped in front of a door marked with the women's restroom symbol.
In such a situation, clearly there was no need for hesitation. He pushed open the door of the restroom, where the bloodstains were worse than elsewhere, and drops of blood constantly dripped down from the ceiling.
Suddenly, the door of a restroom stall burst open, and a ghastly mummy writhed in agony inside. The eyes of the mummy were covered, its tongue hanging out, and its entire body was entwined with thorn iron wire, tormented to no end.
Xu Yi gazed at the desiccated corpse as that inexplicable abhorrence appeared once more, and it was a hundred times more intense than before.
There was an identification badge hanging on the chest of the desiccated corpse, and the name "Colin" was faintly visible, followed by his position at this school, a cleaner.
The moment Xu Yi saw the name, the feeling of abhorrence in his heart burst forth, and he raised the machete to split the corpse's head in two.
The desiccated corpse emitted a piercing scream as thick, black blood splattered, and Xu Yi suddenly froze on the spot, his gaze as if penetrating through the river of time, witnessing events of the past that had occurred here.
The cleaner Colin was cleaning the toilets when a figure burst through the door, their face etched with panic.
Xu Yi was surprised as he watched the person, who seemed to be Alesha, but he hesitated, unable to be sure because everything from their attire to their temperament was vastly different.
But he soon realized that this world, created because of Alesha, likely contained memories of her before the demonic possession.
An infuriating scene unfolded. After a moment of hesitation, cleaner Colin slowly moved toward Alesha, a look of lust in his eyes.
Alesha had not yet become the "Master of the World"; she was just an ordinary little girl who was dragged by Colin into a toilet stall...
As the memory faded, Xu Yi looked at the monster still struggling and writhing in the bathroom stall, and he quickly stepped forward.
He suddenly understood why this monster appeared here—it was the manifestation of Alesha's desire for retribution, trapping the abuser in this place for endless torture.
Xu Yi felt that just killing this person was letting him off too easily, thankfully the abuser had not truly perished.
He dragged the creature out from the toilet stall, using every method at his disposal to torture it.
During this process, Xu Yi felt that gaze upon him once more.
While he had not been entirely certain before, now he was, the gaze belonged to Alesha.
In the vague sense, he felt Alesha's approval.
"It seems this world was created by Alesha for the sole purpose of avenging those who once harmed her," Xu Yi suddenly felt.
One could guess that Alesha's life before becoming the Lord of the Darkness must have been extremely tragic.
Under Xu Yi's relentless torture, the desiccated corpse died in agony.
Xu Yi's body shuddered suddenly, his sense of this world changed; the world seemed to have accepted him.
If they were strangers before, they had now become acquaintances who could call each other by name.
Being accepted by this world was not just a change in feeling; he had gained more powers from this world.

Xu Yi concentrated on feeling out the World Power, which crept up his body like black serpentine tendrils.
He suddenly became excited, feeling as if fortune had come to him when he least expected it.
For the dark crystal that he had previously been unable to fuse suddenly showed signs of merging!
Unexpectedly, the key to merging the dark crystal was this world.
No doubt about it! Creating a world with individual strength, what else could it be but a Divine Kingdom?
Although the "Divine Kingdom" created by Alesha starkly contrasted with the traditional sense of a Divine Kingdom.
Previously, he had attempted a lower-tier fusion of "Dark Power, Main Soul, and Divine Body," and the resulting Divine Power was extremely unstable.
At that time, he sensed that something was lacking, and now it seemed that he was right.
A mark of becoming a True God is having one's own Divine Kingdom.
While Subgods differ from True Gods, they too need the power of a Divine Kingdom to complete the fusion.
This world undoubtedly possesses consciousness, and that consciousness is Alesha.
To harness more World Power, one needs to gain Alesha's trust.
If the ambition is greater still, then it would be to devour the other, and seize the Divine Kingdom.
