Chapter 763 - Chapter 763 Chapter 614 Malice of the World (Dont Skip)

Chapter 763: Chapter 614: Malice of the World (Don’t Skip) Chapter 763: Chapter 614: Malice of the World (Don’t Skip) The Shadow Gate still existed, between the Mountain Woman and the fissures on the gate itself, there was a connection that seemed both present and absent, linking them together.

Her body was filled out, almost indistinguishable from a normal person, and the sight that appeared before Roger was no longer that hideous form.

Stretching her limbs to her heart’s content, Mountain Woman seemed to be enjoying the long-missed freedom, her figure suspended in midair as her gaze fell on Uma.

“It seems between him and me, you still chose the latter,” she said.

From the expression on Roger’s face, it wasn’t hard for Mountain Woman to guess what had happened.

“To forsake true freedom for a man, I really don’t know how to judge your choice,” she remarked.

“I long for freedom,” Uma shook her head.

“I just don’t trust you,” she added.

“Last time, I trusted you wholeheartedly, but as a result, I became a tumor on your body,” Uma continued.

“Where do you plan to put me this time?”

Uma looked at Mountain Woman with a face full of mockery. She indeed hesitated and nearly made a mistake, but in the end, she pulled back from the brink and chose to stand on Roger’s side.

“But it doesn’t matter anymore, you’ve already done what I wanted to do,” Uma said.

“Although I still can’t completely leave that cage, at least I have entered a new area, where the blockade is much smaller, and the opportunity for freedom is greater,” she pointed out.

Mountain Woman extended her hand to Uma, “I’ll give you one last chance, you can start over with me,” she offered.

Hearing this, Roger couldn’t help but cast his gaze on Mountain Woman and Uma.

After all, the two women had been dealing with each other day and night for decades, cough cough, and indeed, during this process, some strange things could have happened.

Loneliness was understandable.

Uma said nothing but took a step closer to Roger.

“What a pity, you chose the wrong answer,” Mountain Woman said.

Mountain Woman’s body began to fade in and out of visibility, and at the same time, the fissure on the Shadow Gate also began to worsen. Feeling the changes around him, Roger immediately understood Mountain Woman’s intention.

Trapped in a cage, she couldn’t leave by normal means. After failing to trick Roger the last time, she had started a new plan through Uma’s transformation.

If she couldn’t leave, then the next best thing was to open a channel to another World Fragment. This would effectively extend her range of activity.

While it wasn’t true freedom, it at least allowed her to do things she couldn’t do before by using another Shadow Fragment as a stepping stone.

“Wait a second,”

Roger suddenly said.

“I’ve done you a big favor, don’t you plan to show some gratitude?”

“Show gratitude?” Mountain Woman’s mood was pleasant, and her smile grew radiant, “Don’t worry, we will become indistinguishable soon enough,” she assured.

The Shadow’s Power coursed into Mountain Woman’s body through the fissures on the gate, the surrounding space roiled, and everything became clearer.

“I should thank you, according to Uma’s words, if not for your help, everything wouldn’t have gone so smoothly,” Mountain Woman said.

“The other things in this cage would interfere with my absorption, making all matters full of uncertainties,” she added.

Roger seemed not to care about the changes around him.

“Cage, are you saying this place once held creatures similar to you?”

Roger asked.

“Haha, telling you won’t hurt,” she replied.

“This so-called cage was once something everyone longed for, but at many times, life and death are just a thought away,” she said.

“Good and bad, too, have no clear boundaries,” Mountain Woman said as her expression shifted.

“I originally thought you would need a very long time to come into contact with these things, given that your current strength is still a long way from the realm I need.”

“You are far from it,” she said.

“Fourth Tier has immense gaps, and each level is divided into different stages,” she explained.

“One might even say that it’s after reaching the endpoint that the journey truly begins,” she hinted.

At this, Roger’s heart stirred, wondering if the levels of Sword Master and Divine Master weren’t the peak of the Fourth Tier after all?

“Pursuing the rules of a world, constantly improving, power ultimately has a limit, and that limit is the maximum allowed by the world’s rules,” she said.

“Reaching this level, to continue forward, the only thing to pursue is to break the existing rules, to create possibility from the impossible,” she said.

“From birth to death, from death to birth,” she posited.

“Destruction and revival cycle thus,” she concluded.

Mountain Woman’s explanation was cryptic; what she referred to likely applied to Transcendent power systems under various world rules.

Paths forward differ, yet they converge at the endpoint.

Roger said nothing, while the changes around him persisted. He was patient, even as Mountain Woman’s absorption sped up, but the prompt on the board reassured him greatly.

“Detected an assimilable Shadow Fragment, fragment energy minimal, proceed with absorption and assimilation?”

“When the road ends, when power is raised to the limits of the world’s rules, if there is no way forward, breaking the rules requires new rules for support and expansion!”

“When the world cannot contain you, either be suppressed by the world, compromising under its rules, or use other rules to forge your own world,” she stated.

“At this stage, what we need to do is to merge a World Fragment, regardless of its origin, even if it doesn’t quite fit with our own power,” she explained.

“But with a new World Fragment comes new rules, and these rules, however weak, are like pearls in sand,” she continued.

“This is the key!”

As Mountain Woman spoke, she clenched her fists.

Her essence swelled with the transfer of Shadow’s Power.
