Chapter 546 Breaking the Illusion, This Matter Isn't Over
Araki Ichito is extremely fast. After this battle, he still has about 50-60% of Xiao's speed in his normal state.
With a light touch of the toes on the ground, his body moved like an arrow, covering hundreds of meters in just a few steps.
After smashing through several obstructing trees and rocks, Araki Ichito finally arrived at the altar he had discovered.
After checking around and finding no other problems, he strode toward the altar.
During this time, Araki Ichito carefully avoided the black mud while remaining vigilant against potential traps and mechanisms from all directions.
After two battles, even Arataki Ichito felt exhausted.
Based on his current physical condition, a rough estimate suggests that he is no longer able to sustain the energy required for another major battle.
After the Abyss Chaos One finished off, the Five Great Yakshas followed. Even someone made of iron couldn't withstand that.
If he were to encounter another opponent with the same troublesome nature as those mentioned above, he would truly be overwhelmed.
They made their way to the altar without any obstacles, a process so smooth that even Arataki Ichito found it hard to believe.
He stared at the sinister-looking compass in front of him, took a deep breath, covered his hands with Armament Haki, and yanked it down.
This thing looks really weird...
Araki Ichito didn't want to touch this thing for even a second longer, so he quickly adjusted the compass needle.
Click click click click...
Unlike the positive space, the compass of the negative space is extremely stagnant, as if a rock is stuck in a rusty gear, it is so rotten that it cannot be rotten any more.
But with Araki Ichidou's brute force, the pointer still managed to begin sliding with difficulty.
Empty—bang! !
As the hands of the clock turned, the whole world seemed to tremble.
The sound of rotation coming from the heavens and earth shook Araki Ichito to his core, and he quickly looked up in surprise.
In the field of vision, the two compasses, resembling the sun, seemed to merge together in a trance...
No, it wasn't fusion, it was superposition. The surging, majestic instrument plate of that demonic wheel arrived behind the dim, lifeless instrument plate.
The world turned upside down in an instant.
The ground beneath their feet cracked and scattered, thunder rumbled in the sky, and lightning bolts crackled endlessly. Almost instantly, the entire structure shattered into countless fragments.
Araki Ichito lost his footing and fell down.
Countless rocks and soil flashed before his eyes, and his body rose straight into the sky without resistance, seemingly defying the laws of physics.
The howling wind, mixed with the mournful cries of ghosts and wolves, swept clearly past his ears. Arata Ichito's gaze finally settled on the space passage, which was like a black hole, created by the two compasses, and he flew towards it.
However, in the next second, Arataki Ichito's pupils suddenly became unfocused.
"...flowing...left...here..."
.........
Araki Ichito abruptly threw off the covers, sat up, and gasped for breath.
His wary gaze quickly swept over the room's layout; the decorations were as ordinary as could be.
He ran his hands through his hair, and countless questions surged forth like a tsunami.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? Where should I go?
I...I...I am...Arataki Ichito?
"Boss."
A gentle voice suddenly sounded from outside the door, accompanied by a series of knocks.
Araki Ichito's gaze shifted towards the door with a hint of danger.
The door was gently opened, and Hisagi Shinobu walked in with an air of nonchalance, her hands behind her back, tilting her head to look at him.
Araki Ichito remained unmoved, his expression still icy.
Staring at his face for a good two or three seconds, Hisaki Shinobu's expression gradually softened. She reached out a finger and gently touched Araki Ichito's forehead, speaking softly.
"Boss, did you have another nightmare?"
Arataki Yidou: "..."
Who is this woman?
He definitely doesn't seem like a good person.
Two thoughts rushed to his mind one after the other, prompting him to blurt them out immediately.
"Who are you?"
Hisaki Shinobu's expression seemed to be used to it. She sat down next to Araki Ichito, ignoring his "Are you sick?" look, and affectionately tidied his hair.
"Don't worry, boss, I'll make sure you remember everything."
Haha, my trust level with you is currently zero.
Araki Ichidou chuckled to himself.
At this moment, Kuki Shinobu pointed to Araki Ichito's heart and said, word by word,
"Now, let me introduce myself again. My name is Hisaki Shinobu. I'm the most important person in your heart, okay?"
I can't hear you clearly. The most important person in my heart is myself. Please don't come in unnecessarily, thank you.
Araki Ichito thought to himself.
Very well, he is now completely certain that this is not the real world.
The eyes may mislead, but the essence of the soul cannot lie.
First, the room's decor and ambiance didn't suit his taste; second, he couldn't bear to live this kind of life.
When the green-haired woman in front of him spoke in that sickeningly sweet tone, his body instinctively began to feel nauseous, and a strong sense of discomfort and unease welled up in his heart.
He should know this woman, and be quite familiar with her, but they're definitely not in a romantic relationship.
His intuition told him that if he actually considered the other person as his lover, it would be as absurd as someone using a kitchen knife to mop the floor, using a car to cook, or having a person's head pop out of it.
Well, judging by his personality, this guy is probably his employee and thug.
Now that it's been confirmed that this is an illusion, it proves that his body in reality is unconscious, which is very dangerous.
But how do we get out?
The light in Araki Ichito's eyes grew increasingly dangerous.
What about suicide?
"Boss... are you alright, boss?"
Hisagi Shinobu whispered beside him.
Araki Ichito turned his head and looked intently into Hisaki Shinobu's eyes. "What's your name again?"
Hisagi rolled her eyes and said reproachfully,
"I already told you to tell Jiuqi to endure it, boss, you should remember that clearly."
Araki Ichito nodded, his tone casual and indifferent.
"Oh, it's Hisaki Shinobu, right? Here's a piece of advice for you: in the future, remember to find the right direction for your illusions and understand people's preferences."
His expression turned speechless. "Just... just don't use that formulaic approach. Not everyone will fall for it. I'm really fed up. If the master of this illusion wants me to fall for you, can't you at least put in a little more effort? Get me a house and then arrange for a woman who cares about you. What era are we living in? Are your ideas still stuck hundreds of years in the past? Or are you obsessed with Mary Sue or light novels?"
"You...you didn't even bother to look at the network of relationships, and just made it all up? You might as well find one of my enemies and dump him here, at least I could waste some time to torment him."
"And now, this illusion is also wasting my time!"
Amidst Arataki Ichito's excited rant, Hisaki Shinobu retreated repeatedly, shaking his head in confusion.
"Boss, what are you talking about? I..."
"Stop."
Araki Ichito raised his hand to stop the other person from speaking, his expression so impatient. "I don't want to hear any more of your sentimental lines. Now that things have come to this, I only have one sentence to tell you, and to tell myself."
He tapped his head. "I'll save my dreams for tonight."
boom!
No sooner had he finished speaking than Araki Ichito punched and shattered a mirror on the wall. Amid the shattering sound, ignoring Hisaki Shinobu's screams and the blood on his hands, he picked up the sharpest shard of glass and, without hesitation, slashed his own throat.
"Heh, it really was fake. The real me... could never be this weak..."
In the last second before Arataki Ichito lost consciousness, the scene before him shattered like glass!
……
!!!
Araki Ichito snapped back to his senses. He looked down at the rubble that had gathered around him, quickly shattered it, and with a heavy stomp in the air, flew back towards the passage.
"Fuck you! You think you're some kind of living space?! I'll remember this! Let me tell you, this isn't over!!"
Amidst the furious roar of Arata Ichito, he disappeared into the passage, and then fell silent.
