The man snapped his fingers again.
At this moment...
Enzo's cigarette fell to the ground, not because Enzo had died, but because all the children... were replaced.
No tears or laughter, only deafening silence.
When all the students who cherished the past became part of the past, Enzo's expression was frozen like a painting.
Enzo's eyes turned emptier than ever before.
He could awaken a hundred people's love and hate, but so what?
As long as the twisted rules remained, all the children who harbored love and passion... could be replaced in an instant.
Suddenly, he felt... he had made a mistake.
Perhaps if he hadn't awakened the children's love for those they lost, the children wouldn't have died.
A massive guilt consumed Enzo, causing the light in his eyes to vanish completely.
"These noisy students, they were too disrespectful to their teacher. Now, I've replaced them with a more obedient batch."
The man's lips curled into a contemptuous smile:
"So, will you join me? After all, replacing them is as simple as replacing you."
The man pointed at Wen Xishu.
At that moment, Wen Xishu felt as if he were being targeted by the arrow of a Sagittarius.
The Sagittarius' arrow is absolute destruction, the ultimate in calculation.
And the man's hand now was the ultimate in rule, the embodiment of authority.
Both were equally lethal.
What he faced, though not the true Libra, was certainly an existence comparable to a "God."
"Is killing... really that entertaining to you?" Wen Xishu asked softly.
The man shook his head:
"I haven't killed anyone. I am an extension of the Balance Will; I am the Balance."
"I don't kill. I merely replace the defects of this world."
"Can't you see it? That girl has a more perfect husband, your artist friend has more obedient students."
"The population of this city has never changed, and death will never come!"
"This city always has the same number of fathers, the same number of children, the same number of teachers, the same number of partners!"
"This is an eternal city; this is God's work!"
Wen Xishu raised his hand; he had been gathering strength, preparing for his Profound Meaning.
"But who will fill the void of those lost feelings and emotions?"
"To your eyes, all life is the same, but you fail to see that every soul is different."
Wen Xishu's fist gathered power.
This power seemed so small and laughable to the man:
"The questions you ask are truly laughable. It's just because you are short-sighted; those things are simply the human flaws."
"Forget it; only Lord Libra can truly understand me."
"Once a couple of other constellations fall, Lord Libra's authority will rise, and then..."
"The light of the Balance will cover the entire world!"
Wen Xishu coldly declared:
"A world like that isn't worth having."
The man symbolizing the Balance Will mocked:
"It's my mistake; I thought someone who could reach here would be somewhat different."
"Forget it, I shouldn't have expected anything from you."
"So, are you ready to be replaced?"
The threat of death was imminent.
Wen Xishu knew this showdown wouldn't be like Albert's confrontation with the Sagittarius, with rounds of attacks and defenses.
This confrontation with the Balance Will would be decided in an instant.
Either he would be obliterated by the Balance's will, and Wen Xishu would vanish... replaced by an unknown stranger.
Or...
His fist would destroy this arrogant new god of the Balance.
The wind roared around his fist as Wen Xishu concentrated all his power there.
At the same time, the embodiment of the Balance's will emitted a golden radiance.
The man's long hair danced, basked in the golden light, as if a True God descended.
His gaze simply fixed on Wen Xishu, and in the next second...
Wen Xishu disappeared.
In the Balance City, the sun remained bright, as if nothing had happened.
"What a pity, in all these years, only one person reached this level of the Obsession World."
The golden glow on the man hadn't faded, but his eyes were filled with desolation.
Yes, the battle was over.
No matter how strong the punch was, it ultimately couldn't land on him.
The Bunker Challenger named Wen Xishu, at this moment, had been replaced by an unknown existence.
But just as the man turned to leave, a sudden surge of energy appeared behind him.
"Our battle isn't over yet."
A familiar voice emerged.
The man whipped around.
What the hell, how is it still him?
He stared incredulously at Wen Xishu.
Yes, it was still Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu, who ought to have been erased by the Balance Will and replaced with a new life... had not been replaced.
Not only was he not replaced, Wen Xishu's power seemed to have grown stronger.
His speed, his strength, had both seen significant enhancement.
"That's impossible!"
As he saw a more aggressive and powerful punch coming at him, the man felt panic for the first time.
The perfect expression of a god was finally no longer perfect.
His body glowed fiercely, and a phantom of a golden balance appeared behind him.
The absolute Balance Will completely engulfed Wen Xishu at that moment.
Wen Xishu...
disappeared again.
When everything became calm, the man's breathing inexplicably turned rapid.
"He should be... dead, right?"
All along, no matter how powerful the being, as long as it was enveloped by the Balance Will, it would dissolve instantly, replaced by new life.
