Chapter 126: Pale Black
A pale black aura, surging with peerless momentum, erupted from Mu You’s chest. At the same moment, an invincible pressure—one that looked down upon the world with disdain—spread out, violent and untamed.
Lightning descended, the heavens crumbled, and even gods and demons wept.
Within that pale blackness, flickers of blood-ink light vied for dominance, carrying an absolute, cold arrogance that mirrored the death of all living things. Flames roared, and fire dragons spiraled.
Lightning and fire, at this moment, both revealed their absolute sharpness. It was the peerless will of an innate divinity, one that brooked no violation. Any who dared to touch it would surely face the calamity of death and the trial of extinction.
"Who... who forced me to remember these things? Who!?"
Boundless rage, laced with a trace of killing intent, roared from Mu You’s throat. The image within the virtual world froze completely on that single tear from the ragdoll. Then, in fragments and slices, the entire scene shifted, splintering into countless snapshots of various sizes—these were... the memories of 'Mo' and Mu You together.
Bit by bit, the corners of 'Mo's' mouth, initially barely defined, began to turn upward. A faint smile, then a grin, then a knowing smile, until finally, a radiant beam! The smile grew increasingly vibrant, as if imbued with a soul, becoming startlingly lifelike.
Because Mu You had spent every day and night by 'Mo's' side as a child, he had never paid much attention to such minute changes. Yet, when the years of 'Mo's' expressions were strung together, the transformation became glaringly obvious.
But the final image was of 'Mo' smiling while weeping. The scene froze, then began to shatter piece by piece. In the moment of destruction, that transparent tear transformed into a drop of blood. A cackling laughter echoed from afar, and the image collapsed with a boom.
But Mu You heard that final sound clearly. Others might not know what it was, but he did.
That was... the laughter unique to Original Sin!!!
Why would this Original Sin appear in his own memories?!
Something was wrong. It seemed that surviving the slaughter of Original Sin during the accident months ago was no mere coincidence.
Why had Mo Han paid such close attention to him? It clearly wasn't as simple as just good luck!
The moment the laughter of Original Sin emerged from thin air—
The youth in the nutrient fluid coughed up a violent spray of blood. His eyes exploded instantly, turning the liquid in the entire space into a sea of red.
"Damn it!!"
The youth in the nutrient tank coughed violently, bowing his head as if struck by a heavy blow. Though he did not need to breathe, thanks to the ventilator, the violent heaving of his chest clearly betrayed his turbulent emotions.
"These memories are just too damn insane. What on earth are they? And you four, stop your damn struggling!"
The youth forcibly calmed his emotions. He had intended to probe the memories of the others, but he never imagined that not only were these four A-rank death row inmates exceptionally powerful, but the dangerous prisoner named Mu You possessed a terror index that exceeded all the rest.
Ever since his car accident and subsequent arrival at this Death Row Paradise, his body had not only been in a constant state of repair but was being perpetually remodeled. He had undergone a qualitative change, advancing to an S-rank death row inmate.
What was the concept of an S-rank prisoner? When he had once tested his newly acquired 'Spirit Speech,' he discovered it had completely surpassed his understanding, evolving into 'Holy Speech.' The destructive force of that one manifestation had obliterated the entire laboratory floor he was on, forcing him to incur a massive debt—a debt large enough for the Death Row Paradise to execute him. Yet, to his total shock, the chief physician, Dong Guan, had helped him, requiring only that he participate in the 'Never Look Back' exchange program.
Ever since arriving at this paradise, this woman, Dong Guan, seemed to have been looking after him. Could it be that after treating him for so long, she couldn't bear to see such a plaything die?
Regardless, he had to settle the matter at hand first.
The power of an S-rank prisoner was not something these ants could contend with!
Although the youth in the nutrient fluid was severely wounded, endless electric currents still radiated from his body, traveling along the tentacles toward the white room at the end. At the same time, the other prisoners, awakened by Mu You’s emotional turmoil, erupted with various manifestations of power. Blood began to surge as they fought against the helmets clamped onto their skulls.
"Hmph..."
The youth in the nutrient fluid groaned. He truly had not expected that while their strength was average, their mental fortitude was so formidable. More accurately, their resistance to pressure was far beyond that of ordinary people.
It was no wonder; those who possessed such pasts yet had not completely collapsed clearly had unique depths to their willpower.
But no matter how strong your abilities are, once you reach me, you are destined for nothing but enslavement!
The entire metallic octopus doll erupted with bright blue lightning at this moment, but simultaneously—
BOOM!!
An explosion sounded from thin air. The room where Mu You was held suddenly burst open. Within the pale black electric light, blood-ink flames began to permeate the air.
Mu You opened his eyes abruptly, a glint of crystal light flashing through them.
The curiosity of the youth in the nutrient tank had completely enraged Mu You!
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
The pale black lightning destroyed the remaining three buildings in succession. The bright blue helmets could no longer suppress Mu You’s newly awakened power. The others broke free from the restraints of their helmets one after another, their minds clearing.
The four instructors opened their eyes as if reborn, looking toward the youth in the nutrient fluid with cold, resolute gazes.
And Jing Fei, upon seeing the younger brother he had dreamed of, burst into tears!
