Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 337
byA cramped isolation room.
The girl sat on the wire bed, motionless.
However, in mid-air, dark figures wandered back and forth.
“Why don’t you just kill me?”
The girl asked.
The dark figures made overlapping sounds: “Our Dharma appearance is fighting the Emperor Species, and it’s being held back, so we can’t kill you directly.”
“How can you possibly not defeat a weakened Emperor Species?” Shen Ye asked.
“In short, we’re being held back, so we can only deal with you in the current way,” the dark figures said.
Shen Ye smiled and said nothing.
They craved it too much.
As long as the Demon of Fear wasn’t here, they would expose their true nature and seek revenge.
Revenge.
This was her chance.
Shen Ye stood up from the bed, filled a tin can with water, walked to the tightly closed iron door, and poured all the water on the floor.
Water.
It seeped through the crack of the door and flowed outside.
He directly activated “My Existence in the Mirror,” entered the water, crossed the door, and emerged from the water that had spread outside the door.
It was night by now.
Shen Ye didn’t take much effort to find the teaching building.
Specifically looking for the teachers’ office.
One by one.
Soon, through the window glass, he saw the Ferris wheel placed in the corner of the office.
Entering the glass and appearing on the other side, Shen Ye walked straight to the Ferris wheel and picked it up.
Her movements were so gentle.
Even the dark figures that had been following her in mid-air held their breath.
Shen Ye held up the Ferris wheel and gently carved a line of small text on its base:
“In memory of the past, for my wishes, for all beautiful things.”
“—Handmade by Nancy.”
After carving, she put the Ferris wheel back, carefully exited the office, and then returned to the isolation room.
Alright.
The task was done.
Now that it was night, why not go to Twilight Star directly and earn new entries?
Shen Ye rubbed her hands, about to act, but found the entire isolation room illuminated by sunlight.
She froze and looked up.
It was already daytime.
A dark shadow flew down from mid-air and said:
“Time has sped up.”
After speaking, it flew back.
Shen Ye: “…”
You guys are too impatient.
Can’t you wait and let me rest for a while?
Click.
The lock on the door moved.
The iron door opened, and several powerful, black-robed women filed in.
“Nancy, the whole matter has been investigated thoroughly.”
“You stole someone else’s things, which led to a fight, and then you even hit the teacher, which is an unforgivable sin.”
A woman holding a scroll said sternly.
“That’s my Ferris wheel,” Nancy said.
“It has been investigated, it’s theirs,” the woman said.
“But, I carved words on the base of the Ferris wheel. If the words were planed off by them, there would still be traces,” Nancy said.
The women looked at each other.
No one expected this turn of events.
If… it really was a mistake…
Several women looked at the majestic woman standing in the middle.
“Principal, what about this matter?”
“You go personally and bring that Ferris wheel over. No one is allowed to touch it.”
“Yes.”
A woman took the order and left.
Before long.
She turned back, holding the Ferris wheel in her hand.
The female principal waved her hand.
The Ferris wheel slowly flew up, revealing the two lines of text hidden beneath the base:
“In memory of the past, for my wishes, for all beautiful things.”
“—Handmade by Nancy.”
Everyone was speechless.
If this was really the property of those female students, how could they have carved these words on the Ferris wheel?
Nancy was in isolation, so it was impossible for her to go out and do this specifically.
So this should be her item.
The female principal gave Shen Ye a meaningful look, then turned and walked out.
“Release Nancy from isolation and lock up those four girls.”
Everyone bowed and nodded.
Shen Ye suddenly said loudly:
“Principal, you forgot about Ms. Bella, it was all her idea.”
“She wouldn’t specifically target a student like you,” the female principal said quickly.
“But what if those students gave her benefits? Principal, that’s absolutely possible, please investigate,” Shen Ye said.
Before the words finished.
Everything around disappeared.
Time flashed again.
“—Hey, I haven’t had enough fun, why are you changing time again!”
Shen Ye couldn’t help but protest.
The dark figures ignored her, merely chanting spells in mid-air, bringing everything back to a certain point in history.
The Little Girl had grown taller, now eight or nine years old.
However, on the battlefield, corpses lay all around.
The roar of magic was incessant.
Thick black smoke billowed.
Large mobile combat mechs rushed at high speed towards the human positions, each strike capable of instantly killing dozens of people.
The girl was slightly stunned.
How did it suddenly turn into this? What happened?
A dark shadow suddenly descended and whispered in her ear:
“Apart from one’s parents, no despair can compare to this moment.”
“On this day, machines betrayed humanity.”
“At this age, my strength was similar to yours, but on the battlefield, I couldn’t hold on at all. I was defeated, captured, and modified by them, then used to kill humans.”
“Later, I killed countless people.”
“—Baxter, your strength is insufficient to change all of this. In fact, you are like me, you can only face this helpless despair.”
At this point, the black figure exploded into countless afterimages, speaking in a million overlapping voices:
“We do not wish to recall this painful experience!”
“However, for the sake of what you have done––”
“We will reluctantly re-enact everything as reality.”
“If you fail, we will immediately kill the Emperor Species, then rendezvous with the Demon of Fear, eliminate the serpent woman Charlotte, and finally eliminate you.”
“Come on.”
“Baxter, this is your only chance.”
The voice fell silent.
All the dark figures disappeared.
Only the eight or nine-year-old girl remained, standing on countless corpses, looking at the giant mobile combat mechs on the distant battlefield.
Lines of faint glowing text appeared:
“The ‘Door’ ability can be used in the current scene, but if you leave the battlefield, it will be considered fleeing, and you will automatically forfeit this only chance.”
“You must defeat the opponent.”
“This is the only opportunity to gain the recognition of the dark personality.”
Defeat…
The Little Girl reached out, grabbed the Vast Cold Bow, and shot immediately.
—Cross-World Archery: Star Edge!
Twelve arcs of cold light flew across the sky, striking a mech.
Boom!
The mech was sent reeling back several steps, its steel outer shell shattering.
“What?”
The Little Girl was startled.
Inside the giant mobile combat mech was writhing flesh and blood.
Could it be…
Is that a person?
No, how could it be a person!
“Hehehe,” the voice of the dark figure suddenly rang in her ear, “screening human evolutionary genes, modulating them into soulless bodies, capable of wielding the power of professionals.”
“This is the unrivaled Biological Giant Mech.”
Before the words finished, the blood-soaked giant clasped its hands together, forming a hand seal.
Dharma manifestation unfolds—
Infinite blood pools appeared in the void, pouring down like a waterfall.
Under the augmentation of this Dharma manifestation, the giant slowly turned its head and looked at Shen Ye.
It began to run.
Its entire body was enveloped in a layer of blood-red light, which became increasingly intense as it ran.
Charging up!
It’s coming to kill her!
The Little Girl immediately realized the opponent’s intention.
“A head-on clash? I’d like to see how strong you are!”
She let out a soft cry, drew her Crimson Shadow Blade, and charged towards the opponent.
One breath.
The two sides engaged!
The giant fist, enveloped in a dense bloody light, met the gleaming long blade.
However, time suddenly became stagnant.
Secret Sword Art: Thinking of You!
The giant’s attack suddenly slowed, all its movements appearing traceable.
How could the girl let go of such an opportunity?
A sharp blade light soared into the sky, cutting the giant in two.
Blood splattered.
On the battlefield.
The human warriors cheered.
“A powerful professional! Quick, everyone rely on her strength, rescue the wounded, and build a defense line!”
A man in a high-ranking military uniform shouted.
Everyone gathered around the girl.
The girl calmly watched this scene—
Nancy said her strength at this time was similar to hers.
So she must have gone through all of this too.
“Be careful, they’re going to attack again!”
The commander yelled a reminder.
The girl snapped back to attention and looked into the distance.
All the other bio-mechs suddenly stopped and slowly turned to face the girl.
Almost without any pause—
All long-range artillery and machine guns fired simultaneously!
Da da da da da—
Countless lines of fire assailed the girl in mid-air from all directions.
The girl brandished her long saber, continuously parrying.
Soon, her brows furrowed slightly.
Too many!
“Are you all crazy?”
She cursed.
Mythical entry: Dangerous真人 begins to preach to all living beings!
“Big Skeleton! Come out!”
—Boom!
A ten-meter-tall Immortal Puppet landed on the battlefield, spreading its arms to block all the incoming fire for the girl.
However, the bio-mechs, dense as a forest, all simultaneously made hand seals.
Dharma manifestation unfolded!
Scarlet blood light emerged from behind them, merging into a continuous expanse, like a boundless crimson river.
“It’s not working, there are too many of them, think of a solution quickly!”
The Big Skeleton shouted.
The mechs began to sprint at full force—
Charging towards the Little Girl’s direction!
Giant “Danger” signs floated above their heads. Some of them suddenly fell to the ground while running, their weapons piercing their own bodies.
But their bodies seemed to be similar to “zombies,” not fatally wounded by a single stab.
The mechs fell one after another, then got up again, and continued running.
The Dangerous真人 enters cooldown!
The Little Girl put away her saber, clapped her hands together, drew the Vast Cold Bow, and with hands like afterimages, unleashed countless curved arrows.
This time, the arrows were imbued with the power of ‘A Dragon in Paradise’.
“Description: Your long-range attacks will cause the target to teleport, sending them directly into a death-related deep world.”
Swish swish swish swish swish—
One giant bio-mech after another disappeared from the battlefield.
However, more mechs appeared.
Their numbers seemed endless.
The Little Girl glanced at her constantly depleting attributes, gritted her teeth, put away her bow, and let out a soft shout on the spot:
“Let’s dance!”
Dark gold entry, Troublemaker!
“You, along with the entry and the Diva’s skill, created this fun moment:
“The Rabbit Dance.”
The Little Girl turned and walked away.
Her Dharma appearance continuously descended, unfolded, and spread.
Those bio-mechs struggled fiercely but could do nothing, forced to line up and walk in sync with her steps.
The Immortal Puppet, holding a giant axe, roamed back and forth within the formation, continuously slaying.
Such slaughter and combat were completely beyond the comprehension of ancient times—
When had anyone ever seen someone with so many “titles,” and all of them high-level combat “titles,” capable of defeating enemies at will?
The Little Girl danced step by step, her expression suddenly changing.
Something was coming from deep in the sky.
“I’ll go check!”
The Big Skeleton immediately said.
“No! Full defense!” the Little Girl shouted.
The enormous Immortal Puppet, sensing some danger, hastily dropped its giant axe, strode to the Little Girl’s side, and loudly proclaimed:
“Myriad Immortals Shaking Heaven Protection Great Formation!”
Glowing runes emanated from the Immortal Puppet’s entire body, forming a continuously rotating five-colored magic array around the Little Girl.
Then—
The object falling from the sky became clearly visible to everyone.
It was a nuclear bomb!
Dazzling light swept across everything.
At the last moment.
The girl’s eyes flashed, looking around.
Hundreds of combat personnel were hiding in trenches and bunkers near her, attacking the distant bio-mechs.
At the moment the nuclear bomb exploded, everyone fell into despair.
No!
They don’t have the protection of the great formation!
The girl’s hand seal moved, and she whispered:
“Dharma manifestation descends—Vast Cold Palace!”
A towering mountain appeared behind her, followed by a vast plain and an endless sea.
—We will meet under the moon at the Jade Terrace!
The girl’s mind stirred.
The dazzling nuclear bomb, filled with the aura of death, was immediately absorbed into her Dharma manifestation.
Having done all this.
The Dharma manifestation receded into concealment once more.
“Damn it, you used your elementary Dharma manifestation to withstand a nuclear bomb?”
The Big Skeleton shrieked.
The girl looked at the small text appearing in the void:
“Energy +10;”
“Energy +10;”
“Energy +10;”
“…”
—Still holding on!
But—
A sense of foreboding once again surged in her heart, and her gaze swept towards the distant sky.
One.
—Another.
Countless nuclear bombs came from all directions.
There was no way to resist.
“Go! Dodge this wave and then fight!” the Big Skeleton shouted.
No.
Can’t leave.
If she left, she would lose this opportunity.
To resist nuclear bombs head-on?
Are you kidding me!
“Up.”
The girl shouted, her figure shooting into the sky, flying towards the nearest nuclear bomb.
The nuclear bomb reached its target, about to explode—
“Door!”
The girl pushed open a door, allowing the nuclear bomb to fly in.
It was too rushed, there wasn’t even time to set coordinate points, so the nuclear bomb flew directly to the Panda Agency.
“Over there!” the Big Skeleton shouted.
The girl flew over and opened the door again.
The nuclear bomb flew through the door.
But—
From all directions, more than a dozen nuclear bombs had already flown above the battlefield.
“It’s too late, let’s go.”
The Big Skeleton advised.
The Little Girl snorted, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
A black figure silently appeared and said into her ear:
“Do you feel despair?”
“No!” the girl roared.
Endless ice shards erupted from her body, transforming into countless icy mirrors in the sky.
These icy mirrors gathered into a tower on the battlefield, shining brightly and illuminating all directions.
The girl once again embraced a nuclear bomb, directly transferring it into the mirror.
She flew out in an instant, re-embraced a nuclear bomb, and flew back in.
But it was too late.
All remaining nuclear bombs in the sky exploded.
In an instant.
The entire battlefield was engulfed in light.
Time rapidly rewound.
When everything settled down.
On the battlefield.
Only the girl remained, surrounded by the light of the magic array, floating in mid-air.
She looked down at the ground.
Humans.
Their corpses stretched for thousands of miles.
The black figure subtly emerged, whispering in her ear:
“Do you see?”
“No matter how hard you try, you cannot fight against this despairing war.”
“Everyone who trusted you is dead.”
“And you’re cursed by the Demon of Fear’s destiny, so no mighty warrior will come to help you.”
“You either escape, giving up this only chance; or you’ll have all your attributes exhausted by the subsequent countless robots, eventually collapsing from exhaustion and being captured.”
“Your choice is—”
The girl fell into a long silence.
She looked at the huge mobile mechs appearing again on the distant front lines, then retracted her gaze, once again fixated on the littered corpses.
That’s right.
There was no way now.
After all, “Unlife Master” was more skilled at one-on-one combat.
Even when her strength was far inferior to the Emperor Species, she could still turn the tide with “Unlife Master.”
—This is the profession of a cosmic powerhouse!
But even after being elevated to the third realm of Dharma, it was still biased towards a one-on-one combat mode!
To win this kind of large-scale war against machines, unless—
The “Soul Master” is here.
…Soul Master.
Shen Ye sighed, took out a dark golden nightmare crystal.
She held the nightmare crystal high and said:
“Charlotte, this is what you gave me, now I’m giving it back to you.”
Yes.
This was the profession “Unliving Soul Master” given to Shen Ye by Charlotte at his request, before she met the Demon of Fear.
This crystal was priceless, and Shen Ye had never used it.
But now it had to be used.
She crushed the crystal with force.
A dark golden mist enveloped her, then seeped into her body.
Lines of faint text continuously appeared:
“You have been appointed ‘Unlife Master’, and can no longer be appointed ‘Unlife Soul Master’.”
“But this body belongs to Nancy.”
“She does not have the ‘Unlife Soul Master’ profession, so her body can be appointed.”
“When you leave, she will still possess this profession.”
The boundless universe seemed to rush towards him.
Billions of starlight gathered into dense, countless glowing lines.
These lines woven together at an incredibly rapid pace, outlining the power of the Dharma realm into countless fixed runes, forming specific channels of power.
A sudden enlightenment surged in Shen Ye’s heart.
He had already experienced this process when he had become an “Unlife Master.”
The Dharma Realm is like the ocean.
Those common professions are merely manifestations of power floating on the surface of the sea, or condensed in shallow waters.
Truly powerful professions must be found in the depths of the ocean, or even at the bottom of the abyssal trench.
In such places, infinite source power of the Dharma Realm gathers, refined over long ages, finally forming rare, powerful, and unparalleled professions.
But at this moment, Shen Ye, for the second time, taking up this profession, had a distinct feeling.
“Unliving Soul Master.”
This profession should not exist in the world.
There was no way to describe this feeling, as if aliens shouldn’t exist in this world at all.
How could the laws construct such a profession?
This was a domain unlike all common sense, a profession that would only appear in “against common sense” or “mythological legends.”
“Soul Master…”
Shen Ye pondered, quickly recalling everything about this profession in her mind.
In order to devour and possess other powerful professions, it could create one exclusive puppet after another!
In this way, an existence with the “Soul Master” profession could simultaneously hold countless professions, fighting one against ten thousand!
Perfect for the current situation.
Shen Ye’s mind suddenly cleared, and her gaze also swept towards the void.
Lines of faint text appeared accordingly:
“Congratulations.”
“You (body) have been appointed ‘Soul Master’.”
“You have gained the ‘Naturally Formed’ effect. The mysteries of ‘names’ and professional skills are contained and hidden, preventing discovery.”
“You have gained the professional skill of ‘Soul Master’:
“Soul Puppet (special body type).”
“Description: Once permission from the opponent is obtained, a special Soul Puppet can be generated, possessing the opponent’s profession and all combat abilities.”
“The puppet is considered your avatar; you can let it battle independently, or directly control it.”
“Special accompanying power: You can forcefully obtain the target’s permission through soul devouring, but you will suffer certain curses.”
—This skill description is also simple, but better than “Unlife Master.”
Back then, the skill description for “Unlife Master” was only one sentence:
“You and all things are reversed.”
Shen Ye slowly comprehended the skill, a sigh rising in her heart.
Nancy and Charlotte had never properly adapted to this professional skill.
Their “Tyrannical Devourer” personality only knew how to devour the opponent, never considering gaining anyone’s permission.
So, in what state of trepidation, mental decay, and desperation did they awaken this profession?
But I am different—
Shen Ye took a deep breath and shouted in a high voice:
“Humans!”
Her voice echoed far across the battlefield.
Under the augmentation of “Gloomy Whisper,” countless human corpses regained their consciousness, awaiting his further words.
“Can we start over?”
“—As long as you are willing, I will represent you and fight them once more!”
“—As long as you allow it, I will fight to the death against the enemy in your stead!”
“Please allow me to use your profession, bestow power upon me!”
“I am—Baxter!”
Silence for a breath.
A corpse at Shen Ye’s feet painfully spoke:
“I allow it… please avenge me.”
Thump.
A soft sound.
An identical corpse appeared next to the original one.
The corpse got up, its blood and wounds gradually healing, and stood behind Shen Ye.
—Soul Puppet!
Shen Ye could feel that she could control it to do anything at any time.
She could also give orders, telling it what to do.
The Soul Puppet made a “clack clack clack” grinding sound, growling in a low voice:
“Give the order, my body is not ordinary, it can help you get rid of the enemy!”
“No hurry,” Shen Ye uttered two words.
His gaze swept across the vast battlefield.
Across the entire battlefield, dense sounds echoed incessantly.
Thump thump thump thump thump—
One Soul Puppet after another, like balloons, abruptly formed and then flew towards Shen Ye.
Shen Ye wasn’t idle either.
“Come, let me see what extent two professions fighting together can reach.”
She gently pressed her hand in the void.
Endless mist of ice silently appeared, condensing into mirror after mirror.
—Unlife Master!
This was a scene never before witnessed in history.
The Soul Master and the Unlife Master appeared on the battlefield simultaneously!
