"Kings have their roles, and soldiers have theirs. If there is indeed a vast war awaiting us, then they... will certainly shine brightly."
Wen Xishu said with relief:
"I understand."
Wen Xishu returned to the previous topic, considering how to shift regions to withstand Sagittarius's arrows.
He wanted to test the conceptual power of the Mad Dice against Sagittarius.
Strangely enough, without Sagittarius, this journey would be too simple. From the start, they had prepared themselves to be targeted by Sagittarius's powerful arrows.
Back in the Desire Tower, when he was targeted by Sagittarius, Wen Xishu felt an overwhelming pressure, unlike anything before.
But since entering the Slaughter Tower, that pressure hadn't arrived.
Wen Xishu even wondered... could it be that Sagittarius wouldn't come? Could everything in the Underworld be wrong?
Could he have already changed something?
His thoughts soon received a response.
Just when everyone was on guard, wondering when Sagittarius would strike, or whether he would strike at all...
Everything had already quietly happened.
That existence, like a deity, had already launched his arrow, the arrow of fate.
Suddenly, Wen Xishu found himself unable to speak.
He couldn't move any part of his body either. He felt as if he were imprisoned in the deep sea, surrounded by darkness.
It all happened in an instant, abrupt yet silent.
Sinking in the depths of the ocean, Wen Xishu saw countless schools of fish, their scales flashing numerous images.
Images of the past, present, and future.
Beyond the dark-blue sea water, he saw others seemingly no longer in the same world.
Yue Yun, Nissen, Xun Hui... they were nearby, yet as distant as across an ocean.
Then, Wen Xishu saw the fish swimming frantically in this ocean.
Fragments of information from the future, past, and present...
All shattered at that moment, the fish dispersed, and all information on the scales silently destroyed.
The breath of death enveloped Wen Xishu, making the immobile man in the sea feel the power of destiny.
In that moment, Wen Xishu was in despair, unsure if Phoenix feathers could help him through the ordeal. At the same time, he was terrified... the enemy had already appeared.
Only the enemy's methods had changed.
Unlike before, Sagittarius aimed with suffocating power... without even shooting, the distant enemy in time felt the terrifying force.
This time, Sagittarius's aim was silent, like Albert's punch, capable of destroying the opponent yet without imposing any pressure.
When you thought everything hadn't started, it actually had already ended.
Wen Xishu didn't even have time to use any means.
He only felt a force spanning time... heading towards him.
The final whistle had sounded.
Sagittarius completed the aim and shot the arrow.
Wen Xishu saw that the Scorpion Knife marked a golden energy arrow, symbolizing "causal damage," piercing through him.
This was a short-lived future, so short that the moment of awareness shifted from future to present.
Everything, the entire journey, came to an abrupt halt at that moment, with no past, present, or future.
This arrow marked a period on everything.
Yet just as Wen Xishu thought everything was ending, his consciousness shattering...
The dark blue surroundings suddenly cracked.
A strong-arm, with brutal force, shattered the dark-blue seawater, destroying all causality!
The cracks multiplied, and rather than dying, Wen Xishu awakened, realizing immediately what had happened.
The old man, with a smile, shattered the divine force with a fist capable of destroying everything!
Albert Napolitano stood proudly before Wen Xishu, looking afar:
"Even gods choose to ambush?"
"Stop being stunned, kid. It's time to bring the lofty god down to greet us!"
Having experienced Ghost Gate, Wen Xishu had no hesitation, marveling at surviving this ordeal, and amazed that the old principal...
actually broke through the absolute-force containing arrow barehanded.
It was all too shocking, yet as consciousness returned to his mind, Wen Xishu forcibly suppressed all distractions.
With absolute focus, he activated a sequence.
A sequence that could be used only once per target, lasting only ten minutes.
Three Tower Sequence: Fated Duel activated!
Massive energy waves swept through the entire cathedral, and the violent force began to shatter it, not just the cathedral...
Even the red houses, the black houses shook at this moment.
Then all the strange creatures in Isaac City fell into great panic, like snakes, insects, and rats before an earthquake, desperately trying to escape.
Xun Hui, without hesitation, opened No-Self, unable to withstand the inexplicable storm!
With No-Self's help, Yue Yun and Nissen no longer felt suffocation.
Yet Wen Xishu, due to Albert's intervention, wasn't covered by No-Self.
A sacred aura sealed Wen Xishu, preventing No-Self from selecting him.
But then, the elderly man beside Wen Xishu waved a hand, dissipating the aura. He stood firm before Wen Xishu like a mountain.
Even a deity couldn't surpass.
Albert declared triumphantly:
"Welcome to the human realm, Sagittarius!"
