Chapter 1586 -508: Time Imprisonment

Zhou Xiaoxiao’s gaze gradually became clearer.

The woman he saw was not Yuan, but Metheus. Metheus’ face was gentle to the point of distortion, wearing a soft beige knitted sweater and gold-rimmed glasses.

Compared to Yuan, Metheus lacked a touch of sharpness.

“Who… who are you? Where’s Aunt Yuan?”

In the Mechanical City, countless people were still being deprived of their “humanity” at this moment. Wen Xishu didn’t intend to waste time, and his core hummed.

Soon, he sat down next to Zhou Xiaoxiao.

“Xiaoxiao, my name is Wen Xishu, I’m not your enemy. Your Aunt Yuan has encountered a problem now… maybe only you can help her.”

“To cut a long story short, read the bullet screen.”

The multi-layered rune was definitely the most valuable gift Tang Rui had given to Wen Xishu!

During the journey in Mechanical City, everything gained was forcibly infused into Zhou Xiaoxiao’s brain via the bullet screen. This teenager, in fact, had a life that was blank for a long time.

He was confined in a crystal cocoon, occasionally hearing Yuan talk, but he found it difficult to respond.

Yuan’s protective desire for Zhou Xiaoxiao was an obsessive and crazy protection.

Out of fear of mistakes and tragedies happening again, Zhou Xiaoxiao lived more like a… prisoner.

Zhou Xiaoxiao’s pupils trembled constantly, and finally, what Wen Xishu had experienced was conveyed to him.

Especially at the end, he saw the dark red energy sphere continually stripping the “soul” of mechanical life, and he couldn’t suppress his astonishment and sorrow:

“Aunt Yuan… how could Aunt Yuan become like this?”

Metheus was stunned. She was thinking about using her Dream Power to weave a brief CG for explanation, but she never expected…

Wen Xishu actually had a memory infusion ability comparable to a Zeroer?

This person was too all-powerful! In this way, the time needed to explain the causes and effects was greatly reduced.

Wen Xishu said:

“Your Aunt Yuan, because she learned the truth that those who die cannot be resurrected… she has collapsed, influenced by a massive Sequence Power, in a state of rampaging, constantly stripping others’ souls.”

“Whether Mechanical City is good or bad, I cannot judge, but…”

“There are many innocent people here, Xiaoxiao, are you willing to come with me to awaken Yuan?”

Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously:

“Aunt Yuan… is not a bad person. After mom died, she was initially very, very good to me, and didn’t tell me about my mother’s death. She only said that mom went on a long trip.”

“But she also became somewhat obsessive, starting to constantly evaluate the surrounding environment.”

“At that time, I felt that Yuan seemed to have become someone else… she would start to do extreme things out of fear.”

“She quickly kept evolving, but after gaining power, she was always afraid that I would die, and she used a lot of resources to create a… sanctuary for me.”

“Her fear grew deeper and deeper, and the things she did became more and more extreme… she even began to imprison me. I only realized later that mom had already died.”

“After I was imprisoned, she would often come and talk to me, telling me about the progress of the New World’s creation. She told me that only after the New World was completed, would she let me out.”

“She would also tell me… about the events of that day. She told me that my frailty was a mistake, human frailty was also a mistake.”

“Mistakes would lead to greater mistakes, so she didn’t allow mistakes to happen again. She wanted to create a perfect enough world to accommodate my frailty.”

Wen Xishu suddenly asked:

“Being imprisoned by her during your most creative years, do you hate her?”

Zhou Xiaoxiao shook his head frantically:

“How could I? She is my family, and I always knew… the reason Aunt Yuan did this, she was afraid of losing me. It’s just… her protection was a bit suffocating.”

“I also always, always wanted to find a chance to tell her some things, but I never found that chance.”

“Brother Shu, take me to see Aunt Yuan!”

Wen Xishu nodded.

The dark red energy is deadly to the Mechanical Race, instantly stripping away the human traits in the core.

But for true life, it didn’t have this effect. However, this energy itself was also deadly and had a certain destructive power.

Wen Xishu summoned the golden armor again and bestowed part of it upon Zhou Xiaoxiao.

Metheus didn’t follow along; her mission was already over.

Next, it was Wen Xishu and Zhou Xiaoxiao’s turn to head towards the top of the Forbidden Land Tower.

The remaining golden energy to maintain the armor was scant.

But Wen Xishu could leverage Pisces’ power to return the armor to a previous timeline, although it couldn’t achieve a looped infinite cycle, as even time energy would be devoured by the dark red energy…

But indeed, Wen Xishu in the “Taurus” form, after reasonably utilizing the power of the two constellations, greatly improved the endurance of the golden armor.

The two quickly reached the top of the tower, and Wen Xishu directly summoned the golden horns entwined on his arm, flipping over the top of the Forbidden Land Tower!

The immense Forbidden Land Tower began to tremble, and the top shattered into many giant stones.

These giant stones, under Wen Xishu’s guidance, formed a heavenly ladder.

The end of the heavenly ladder was the center of the dark red energy, enough to destroy the city — Yuan.

However, Wen Xishu could obviously feel countless arms formed by resentment resisting the approach of Wen Xishu and Zhou Xiaoxiao.

Wen Xishu was unbothered.

This time, he was exceptionally powerful. Of course, he wasn’t a match for Yuan, but if it was just to get close to Yuan, he still had the guts to try.
