Chapter 696: Chapter 660: The Cost, The Answer We’re Searching For (3rd update)

In the giant pit.

Chloe Stephens coughed heavily and slowly got up.

Though in a sorry state, it hadn’t claimed her life.

Len Hawthorne’s physique above shivered with terror, suddenly stopping.

He looked up.

And locked eyes with the man.

The man was surprised to see Chloe unharmed and his brows twitched.

These two were really hard to get rid of!

Gathering his strength, he charged at them once again.

"Bang!"

His white hair danced wildly as his strength in his hands met the oncoming attack.

In his strikingly beautiful eyes, an endless killing intent!

The man gritted his teeth and yelled, "If you force yourself to recover, you’ll surely regret it."

Len retorted, "Then before that happens, I’ll kill you first."

The grey mark on Len’s forehead became more pronounced.

He walked gracefully upwards.

As if stepping on ice lotuses, the air condensed into steps beneath his feet.

Seeing this, the man’s face changed dramatically.

"You’ll regret it."

As his words trailed off, the man was met with a thunderous blow from Len.

At the same time.

Chloe, who was on the ground just moments ago, attacked from behind.

Launching a direct assault on his consciousness, it had a killing intent that bordered on mutual destruction.

Len was suddenly taken aback.

The person in the middle jumped up in haste.

Chloe relentlessly pursued him.

Len kept up his advance with almost the same speed.

*

"Rumble!"

After taking several heavy blows.

Both Len and Chloe were forced back.

Chloe sensed the other party’s intention, and her powerful will surged forth.

The collision of wills resulted in massive damage.

The entrance of Dark City collapsed with a thunderous noise.

This had never happened before - they had believed Dark City was impregnable.

Apparently not the case.

Blocked outside, Austin Godfrey turned his head to look at the collapse, his face turning a ghastly pale.

Blake Watsons retreated, both of them looking extremely disheveled.

"There’s no way they can be saved now."

Austin glared at him fiercely before running out.

The black cat followed him closely.

Upon reaching the edge, they discovered that the entire area’s mountain peaks were collapsing.

In front of Austin was a vast, deep abyss.

And it showed signs of continuing to collapse even further.

Dark City’s landscape was rapidly changing.

"Meow!"

The black cat tried to use space leaping but found it unusable.

The destructive force from the collapse had suppressed its abilities.

Austin attempted to break through the barrier as well.

*

In front of the collapsed mountain peaks.

The man was struck down.

Both Len and Chloe had paid a terrible price.

Chloe was severely injured and Len wasn’t faring much better.

Just moments before, Chloe had turned to shield him from most of the damage.

It was at that instant that he tore her away.

But it was still a step too late.

Feeling like death was near, Chloe forcefully held on to her breath.

Was she going to die again?

Such was the price of killing gods.

"Chloe."

Len carefully held her, and she could feel the strong man trembling with fear.

Chloe endured the pain, not allowing herself to pass out.

She was afraid that the man before her would collapse.

"I will save you. Even if I have to exchange my life, I will save you."

Len gently stroked her face, as if holding the most precious treasure.

Chloe wanted to speak but feared that she would lose her strength and slip into eternal sleep.

A hundred years ago.

She had willingly killed herself at the time.

But now.

She didn’t want to die and start all over again.

If she started anew, she couldn’t be sure she wouldn’t have to drift for another hundred years before returning.

Would she be able to meet him again at that time?

"Hahaha...cough cough..." The man across from them, who was also severely injured, laughed with satisfaction upon seeing their situation. "Even if you kill me, your loved one will still die. Just like before, it will always be this vicious cycle! This is the price you pay for destroying all of us!"

With eyes as cold and ghostly as Len’s, he stared at the man.

"No matter what you say, even if I have to break into the Hall of Yama, I will not let her die."

"Hall of Yama?" The man sneered sarcastically. "People like us won’t go to the Hall of Yama. When we die, it’s clean and simple. You won’t be able to find us even if you want to. This is the fate of your reincarnation!"

Len clenched his fists and looked at the person in his arms, his eyes red and voice hoarse. "I will get you out of here first."

There must be a way to keep her alive!

Chloe suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of calmness in this moment.

Len picked up Chloe and turned to walk away.

The man behind him, along with the dust stirred up by the collapsing mountain peaks, faded away.

The price for making him vanish into thin air was too high.

Severely injured internally, Chloe tried to speak, but crow blood kept overflowing from the corners of her mouth.

Len’s tense body trembled violently.

Plunging into endless darkness, she was reminded of a time when something had desperately clung onto her.

Before she lost consciousness, Chloe didn’t even have time to say half a word to Len.

In her next life, maybe there would be another chance to start over. Even if she had to wait another hundred years, she would find him again!

As her consciousness was completely submerged, she suddenly understood. After thousands of years of searching, this moment revealed the true answer.
