Chapter 885: Chapter 591 “Shana?”_2 Chapter 885: Chapter 591 “Shana?”_2 However, all the charges scattered when they reached the wide wings of the entity in front of them.

Following that, the colossal figure opened its eyes, and a beam of intense light burst forth from its blood-red eyes, piercing through the “King of Madness” and heading straight for Colin.

But at that moment, the light that connected heaven and earth suddenly dissipated…

Colin, sensing something, turned around and saw a humanoid figure formed from extreme and pure white light approaching.

Just like in the depths of his memories.

Sacred, pure, difficult to gaze at directly—at least, this life form would be hard to look at directly if its light’s intensity hadn’t been adjusted specifically for him.

The brightness was too high…

“Are you… Shana? When did you get here…”

Almost subconsciously, Colin uttered that name.

Corresponding memories were somewhat vague for some reason…

But he was certain she was a very close person, and perhaps because of this, his memories of her were even more blurred?

He wasn’t sure why…

That figure suddenly flickered and split into two.

One of the stronger avatars charged toward the colossal figure in the sky, which was shining like a white sun.

The other came to Colin’s side.

“Sorry, I’m a bit late…”

Shana, almost completely transformed into a “light” state, appeared in front of Colin and spoke softly.

At this moment, seeing Colin alive, her hanging heart finally settled a bit.

Although Colin’s physical appearance had changed drastically, he might only be waist-high, but she remembered all his scents. She could recognize him even if he turned to ash, let alone if he just shrank a little.

The only issue might be some minor problems on his soul level…

But upon inspection, the problems weren’t significant and were reversible.

Moreover, compared to the previous uncertainty of his life and whereabouts, seeing him alive now far exceeded expectations.

However, she slightly lowered her head at that moment, looking at the hastily unremoved scythe crosses on Colin’s body, and frowned.

Then, half-kneeling down, she reached out to touch the crosses on Colin’s small body.

“Crack!”

During the touch, all the crosses instantly shattered. Before any blood could gush from the wounds, a large amount of light flooded in to heal them, then some blessings were applied.

After performing some emergency treatments, Shana looked at the “shrunken” Colin and suddenly opened her arms, gently enveloping him in a hug…

A very tight hug!

Colin even felt a little breathless in his chest; in his memory, this sister-like figure had never been so “out of character.”

However, from this somewhat suffocating and slightly painful embrace, Colin felt a full sense of security.

But before he could say anything, he heard her speak.

“It’s so good that you’re still alive.”

At the same time, while speaking, she slightly suppressed the stirring flames.

At this moment, drawing the “Bonfire” at this inappropriate time point…

Would lead to incidents she might not be able to resolve…

Over the past few years, while she had been traveling here, she had encountered numerous attacks. There would always be unknown higher entities, through some inspiration of their own, who felt she might be doing something “dangerous” and would attack her.

Either they came in person, or they sent civilizations with high technological levels under their command to pursue her.

And this “dangerous” thing was apparently to save Colin, who had a unique status…

This was still based on their vague premonitions, not knowing specifically what she was doing. If they knew, they would likely stop her at any cost.

The situation worsened after passing through a certain station, through some sort of “wall” that required a “pass” for entry…

Because the civilizations and higher life forms behind the “wall,” once partially or fully liberated, focused on the newly emerged “Flame Bearer” reservists with over half of them fixated on these entities.

There were strong indications of a relentless pursuit…

The driving force behind their actions was not hatred, or rather, hatred was not the main component but rather “fear” – a type of “fear” dominated by the company that even transcending eras couldn’t erase…

And then another part, with more dispersed attitudes, mostly watched and stayed neutral, seeming indecisive.

As for the friendly ones…

Some of them told her that if the “Flame Bearer” were born, they would be willing to intervene.

That was probably the most friendly attitude.

As for going all-in like the “King of Madness,” there were few.

After all, the possibility might indeed be small…

But even so, it still made many beings uneasy and countless lives obsessed.

So much so that even while saying it was impossible, they kept arriving to stop that “impossible.”

A few seconds later, after suppressing the flame inside Colin’s body, Shana released her embrace and gently said:

“This place will be dangerous, but I’ve already suppressed some of the aura for you. Find a chance and leave first, and after I clean up some traces here, I’ll come find you. Don’t worry, we won’t be apart for long.”

There was a weak presence of flame around…

It wasn’t a bonfire, but it was enough to prompt their arrival to inspect and ensure the elimination of all possibilities…

And if they did come, they might really discover something and trigger a massive battle.

However, fortunately, this giant statue had probably blocked off the area to ensure Colin wouldn’t be detected by other beings, intending to handle him alone, preventing the escape of the aura.

Otherwise, things might have been very complicated…

Now, what needed to be done was to clear the aura cleanly, turning the conflict here from Colin to her and that “Heretic Light.”

“Okay…” Although Colin wanted to stay a bit longer, he knew the priorities.

Seeing him nod, Shana pulled her consciousness from that part of her humanoid light shadow, turning into countless particles of light that rushed into Colin’s body to further eliminate any negative effects et cetera.

Then she began battling with that being above halfway in the sky, which seemed very similar to her.

In fact, not just similar, they came from the same source.

Both belonged to “Light.”

Just like different ethnic groups, they had some differences…

But Shana didn’t feel any friendliness toward it because “Light” was once also a key member of the “Bonfire Company,” and many places indeed had their lingering effects, not all of which were friendly.

Moreover, this one seemed even more special than usual…

Apart from “Light,” it seemed mixed with other terrifying entities.

Most likely, it was another experiment done by the administrator in the containment unit here.

The universe’s administrator seemed quite keen on various terrifying or dizzying transformations…

“Heretic of the Counter-Light…”

As the embryo giant with numerous broad wings suppressed the “King of Madness,” it called out to Shana: “Are you still going to make an irrational choice using this power of absolute rationality?

“I still believe there could be cooperation between us.”

However, before Shana could reply, the “King of Madness” on the side cursed: “‘Saint’ Sir, he just aims to maneuver the ‘Source of Light’! And, this guy counts as part of ‘humanity’ too, but he’s more hateful than external enemies, there’s nothing good to discuss with such a heretic, let’s finish it together!”

“Regardless of my choice…”

While speaking, recalling various horrific injuries on Colin’s small body, Shana bluntly said:

“Today, all your ‘disciples’ will be disqualified!”

With the being before her, they had erupted into numerous conflicts before, and today was the day to settle both new and old scores.

While speaking, she gestured, and a beam of strong light descended from above her head, like a door that was about to open, and from behind the door, the sound of trumpets from heaven seemed to resonate.
