Chapter 459: Chapter 318 Sleeping Beauty and Pinch Hitter
“`
The room was steeped in silence.
Outside, the wind and snow howled ceaselessly.
Separated by a pane of glass, the Demon of Fear spoke slowly:
“You have no idea what kind of lives we’ve lived, yet you rashly speak of letting Lancy and Charlotte continue their existence.”
“They had given up on themselves long ago.”
“It would have been less painful for them if I had destroyed them in this duel.”
Shen Ye shook his head and said, “She just ate a cake and chocolates she had never tasted before and is now sleeping soundly. Tomorrow, she’s going to see her parents.”
“—I rather think her heart is full of anticipation, not pain.”
The Demon of Fear seemed to remember something and suddenly erupted into hysterical laughter.
It was facing Shen Ye, forming a Spell Seal.
Suddenly, tiny glowing characters appeared in the void:
“The ‘gate’ part of your abilities has been cursed.”
Shen Ye felt a chill in his heart.
The Demon of Fear claimed it had the power to counter his ability to obtain Skills.
It seemed to be true!
“Why don’t you attack me directly?” Shen Ye asked.
“Nonsense, Charlotte gave you a chance, letting you impersonate one of our personalities. If not for that, you’d be dead already!” the Demon of Fear said.
It stepped back and instantly vanished without a trace.
Only its voice still echoed in the darkness:
“Just wait and see—”
“Besides, guess why you haven’t been able to leave our struggle and return to your world?”
“I’ll leave you with that thought.”
“—If you live to see me again, you’ll kneel before me.”
The voice gradually faded away.
Only Shen Ye was left standing in front of the window.
He was lost in thought for a while.
Indeed.
Why hadn’t he been able to leave?
The Nine Aspects were the strongest beings of a former Era, capable of anything and everything.
But—
Why was everything so unsettling?
Shen Ye turned to look at the clock on the room’s wall.
It was eleven twenty-eight at night.
Almost midnight.
That wouldn’t do.
He needed to prepare before midnight.
For instance—
Counterattack.
Shen Ye stood in front of the windowsill, watching the wind and snow outside.
Where was there ever a battle that was all defense and no offense?
—Yet he knew too little about the Demon of Fear.
The only intelligence was a “Hanged Man’s maxim,” which could only make predictions about death.
That was not enough.
…Wait a minute.
There seemed to be another method for prediction at his disposal.
That was the reversal power from the Existence in Mirror bestowed by the Non-Living Master, which created outcomes after everything about him was reversed.
To be honest, its most original power lying within the mirror was merely an ancillary power of the No Life Master.
Its true power was actually—
“You and All Things shall be reversed.”
Shen Ye gazed at his reflection in the glass, murmuring softly:
“Existence in Mirror.”
He approached the window, and his reflection also came forward to meet him.
They switched places.
Shen Ye moved his limbs freely, feeling everything normal.
But in truth, everything had been reversed.
For instance—
“Gate.”
As Shen Ye uttered a soft command, a door began to rise out of the void.
It was a large White door.
—It also could predict dangers that were about to happen!
Shen Ye was flooded with rushing thoughts.
The Nine Aspects dominated countless worlds, had seen innumerable strong beings, and had witnessed enumerable Skills.
If he continued to respond with conventional thinking,
That would certainly lead to problems.
He might as well go wild.
“Merge— all the predictive capabilities I possess.”
He spoke.
A flash of pure Golden light passed by.
“You have activated the Golden Label ‘Vampire Kid’ power.”
“‘Hanged Man’s maxim’ is about to merge with your Gate of Reversal.”
“Divinatory predictive powers are extremely rare.”
“Since the Gate of Reversal’s power far exceeds the ‘Hanged Man’s maxim’, it will dominate the current Super Evolution and will reverse its predictions.”
“Wait ten seconds for the Super Evolution to finish.”
Shen Ye felt a surge of astonishment.
Originally, whether it was the White gate or the Hanged Man’s maxim, they were meant to predict significant events of death concerning himself.
After the fusion, it should reverse.
What would it predict?
Could it be predicting non-death events?
As he pondered, the ten seconds elapsed.
Glowing characters swiftly emerged:
“Congratulations.”
“Power of the Gate of Reversal has evolved, transforming into the ‘Hanged Man’s Gate’.”
“Description: Whatever body you use, you can now view an enemy’s daily routine for the upcoming day.”
“Usage condition: You must use a mirror as a medium to wield this gate power.”
Shen Ye stared at the lines of text, somewhat dumbfounded.
Predictions about himself had been reversed to predictions about the enemy.
Significant events of death.
Reversed to daily routine.
Quite clever.
But… was this useful?@@novelbin@@
Shen Ye flexed his neck and muttered softly, “Gate.”
Glowing characters gradually emerged on the glass of the window before him, covering the wind and snow outside:
“The Human Evolution Union has begun investigating the crash of the Flying Fortress.”
“The investigation team will be established in thirteen minutes.”
“At three fifty-nine in the morning, the team will divide into three groups.”
“At four forty-one in the morning, the strongest group will reach the Frost snow forest, to investigate the Nuclear Bomb blast incident.”
“At five o seven in the morning, remnants of the Flying Fortress will be discovered, and a tedious and time-consuming investigation will begin.”
“The car electrocution fire incident in Fallen Eagle Town has temporarily attracted no attention.”
“Additionally.”
“The real world has now been fully integrated into the current memory world.”
“The Nightmare World and the surface of the Death Planet have become memory worlds materialized by the projections of the Nine Aspects, until their personalities resolve their battle.”
Shen Ye was shocked.
The real world had been completely altered.
And so too was the Nightmare World.
