Chapter 846 - 846 574 Guidance of Fate

Chapter 846: Chapter 574 “Guidance of Fate. Chapter 846: Chapter 574 “Guidance of Fate. Facing those restless figures, “Yukionna” warned them first, just as Colin had taught.

When the warnings were ineffective, she had no choice but to attack, encasing all of them in ice.

Having followed Colin for so long, her mind was clear and straightforward, yet her fighting ability was actually quite strong.

Most of the time, she didn’t feel as though she was engaged in a life-or-death battle; it seemed more like playing…

But not now.

Especially since Colin had passed out, she was even more frightened!

However, having just dealt with those enemies, Yukionna saw some monsters radiating red light seeming to be attracted and approaching. She suddenly screamed, found a sack out of nowhere, stuffed Colin into it, slung him over her shoulder, and started to flee…

In the outside world at this moment, it was almost covered by a terrifying crimson light…

Everything illuminated by it was rapidly undergoing strange transformations.

Numerous terrifying creatures, upon sensing living beings, immediately attacked the fleeing duo!

Under waves of enemy attacks, she felt increasingly powerless,

But she never considered abandoning her friend to escape on her own; she was single-mindedly carrying him in her flight.

“Ah!”

While running, “Yukionna” let out a feeble sound, seemingly suggesting, can we not fight…

Unfortunately, this naive response didn’t receive any feedback.

The enemies pursuing them only grew in number!

Then, as she was desperately fleeing, Yukionna suddenly froze in shock upon seeing a large number of corrupted monsters suddenly die explosively, as if incinerated by some kind of glowing flame.

Without waiting to think further, a beam of light landed not far from her.

It seemed to be a door.

Graceful music slowly emanated from it.

“My master has heard your prayers and sent me. Desperate one, the gate of the Mundane Paradise has opened for you. Step through this doorway, become my master’s disciple, escape from suffering and despair, and embrace the immortal rebirth…”

A grand voice resounded in her ears.

It was as if a believer was delivering the supreme will of a higher power.

Yet, upon hearing this, “Yukionna” was not relieved but even more frightened. Dragging the sack containing Colin, she screamed and turned to run.

However, numerous strange pale beams of light blocked all her routes of escape.

From within the light door, a hand could be dimly seen slowly reaching out…

It was at this moment, seeing this scene when Yukionna felt utterly powerless and desperate.

Suddenly, the space around her warped, forming a vortex, and from the “vortex”, dozens of hands capable of manipulating fate reached out, pulling her and Colin, perched on her shoulder, into the vortex first.

After an unknown duration, when Colin once again opened his eyes, he found himself in a storm-swept, fiery desert wasteland.

The “nuclear blast” seemed to have stopped, and many fragments above the dome seemed to have fallen; the world everywhere was filled with anomalies and terror…

Moreover, whether it was an illusion or not, the world seemed to have become much larger.

However, without pausing to think further, Colin suddenly had a realization. He saw, not far away, an elderly figure with white hair standing there, seemingly observing something.

At that moment, the figure also seemed to have sensed something and turned around.

When Colin saw that face, he was stunned for a moment and then immediately understood why “Yukionna” had been able to find him!

Suddenly, he couldn’t contain his emotions and joyously exclaimed:

“Old Master Wu?! It’s great! You’re alive; I thought you were dead…”

“Thank you for your concern…”

Old Master Wu nodded expressionlessly and approached, saying, “I still have some unfinished business, very busy, so I haven’t had time to die…”

In fact, he was both himself and not himself, at least in a certain sense. When he appeared in this world again as a “safeguard”, as the formal executor of the will of the “Book of Fate”, it meant that his own fate had reached its end.

But these weren’t things he needed to discuss with Colin now…

The other party just needed to simply consider him an old man having a final flicker of life.

In a flicker of thought, Old Master Wu continued, “Additionally, there’s something to tell you, ‘Yukionna’ really did find you because I asked her to… But wait, this isn’t the place to talk…”

The moment his words fell, a profoundly oppressive gaze descended from somewhere, and behind the gaze was a terrifying presence emitting a strange pale light. Countless wings enveloped a red eye filled with blood vessels, shedding infinite brilliance in the air.

Old Master Wu, unafraid, grasped Colin with his left hand and raised his right hand as if holding an invisible book…

The pages within the notional book fluttered rapidly.

The book documented exceptional techniques from other creatures, which he accessed, simulated, and borrowed at that moment.

Amidst a tolling bell sound, the space began to exhibit some strange changes.

The next second, he and Colin’s figures disappeared from their original spot, appearing at a very distant location.

Without staying longer, with several similar rapid spatial jumps, they eventually stopped on the penthouse of a building situated halfway up a hill.

This place was one Colin remembered from before, known as Institute Number Three, one of the five major Numerical Research Institutes.

However, Institute Number Three was now a collapsed ruin, all its plans seemingly failed, devoid of any life…
