Chapter 932: Chapter 666: The Choice Without Regrets

"I’ve assured you, how could I possibly die at the finish line? Let’s get out of here first."

"Okay." Tanshia Firlo reached out and caught Zheng Yichen’s increasingly long hair, saying, "Your hair has become just like mine."

Tanshia Firlo, as the white dragon, took on the form of a white-furred humanoid.

"Hahaha, just as good." With one hand, Zheng Yichen lifted her up; other matters could be discussed later. Since they had returned to Dusk where no one could bother them, they might as well resolve the most concerning matter first.

Although he was unconscious and bereft of any senses, the suffocating darkness of being was terrible, but it allowed Zheng Yichen’s mental state, influenced by demonic thoughts, to recover quickly.

It even gave him the space to think about other things; he indeed had been a bit too greedy.

In the palace of Dusk, Zheng Yichen saw over two hundred Dusk nuns; this was just what he could see at a glance, not counting those he hadn’t noticed.

Could the number of Dusk nuns here actually exceed three hundred?

In a normal world – the type with seven or eight billion people – there would be about twenty-five Dusk nuns.

Moreover, the more Dusk nuns there were, the higher the requirements would become. If the population of that planet doubled, the number of Dusk nuns wouldn’t double. At most, there might be about ten more, and then even fewer with each subsequent doubling.

In the palace of Dusk in the Great World, there were at least three hundred Dusk nuns, which just goes to show how exceptionally populous this world is.

Moreover, there were also many Dusk mercenaries here, though it was clear they weren’t here on any mission.

Among these people, Zheng Yichen quickly spotted Du Gang and eagerly approached him, sitting down in front of him and placing Du Gang’s previous equipment on the table: "Hello～"

"Hahahaha, I’m feeling great!" Watching Zheng Yichen holding a child with one hand, Du Gang first fell silent, then burst into laughter: "The Boundary Breaking Organization is going to have its face swollen this time!"

Du Gang was in high spirits, even though this had cost him one of his reserved chances, but it had resulted in an ideal outcome, so he didn’t feel at a loss; in fact, he felt like he’d struck a bargain!

As for Zheng Yichen’s safety, after being reconstituted by Dusk, the first thing Du Gang did was to find his superior, a Dusk nun, to inquire about Zheng Yichen’s condition... though there wasn’t really much need for concern.

Having been reconstituted, he stayed in Dusk of the Great World, and just from listening to the heated discussions of Dusk mercenaries here, he understood what had happened after he was obliterated by the deep blue beam of light.

Fierce discussions among Dusk mercenaries revealed that indeed a Proxy Agent had fought his way back from outside the Dusk of the Great World. He had been pulverized by the heavens, and the only one who could have returned was Zheng Yichen.

His superior told him that the returning Proxy Agent was receiving treatment, so there wasn’t anything to worry about. Du Gang only needed to wait for Zheng Yichen to wake up and find him, and he was in such high spirits that he even wrote a few letters and did some other tasks in the meantime when Zheng Yichen hadn’t come yet.

For example, he prepared a few small dishes and a few pots of alcohol, inviting some pleasant-looking Dusk mercenaries for a few drinks.

After the refreshing drinks, he sought the help of a Dusk nun to do another task – the one pertaining to the world he had been pulled from before the reverse Boundary Break.

Normally, not having left a marker meant paying an extra price to return.

But this time was exceptional; they had been forcibly pulled into the Great World due to a reverse Boundary Break, so re-anchoring there wouldn’t cost anything, which was very important...

As for the benefits, in the Wild Ancient territory, he hadn’t killed many Boundary Breakers, and in the end, another Proxy Agent helped destroy the Boundary Breaking core, so his mission merit point gains were very low. After killing quite a few Boundary Breakers in the Great World, he managed to earn just under thirty merit points.

Despite risking life and limb and using up a reserved chance, he obtained only these merit points, a net loss, yet he didn’t feel at a loss at all.

"... I’m sorry, I still used up one of your reserved chances; I was too greedy."

"What greed? This is the best outcome. I used a reserved chance to test out the Boundary Breaking Organization’s final defense. If the defense hadn’t worked, you could have returned directly to Dusk, and we’d have only lost slightly, but the biggest losers would still be the Boundary Breaking Organization!"

Du Gang was quite philosophical about the matter, agreeing with the last wave of tactics and seeing no issue with it. If it succeeded, it was like stealing chickens successfully, enabling Zheng Yichen to return to Dusk with minimal losses, where he could then deploy the force bound to dissipate eventually for a fierce move against the people of the Boundary Breaking Organization.

If it failed, he could still accept it, as at least it would reveal the type of interception used by the Boundary Breaking Organization.

It would make Zheng Yichen’s entry into Dusk even more secure, it’s just that this result meant he couldn’t impose additional losses on the Boundary Breaking Organization before he left.

After suffering so much targeted persecution by the Boundary Breaking Organization in the Great World, why not be greedy at the last moment??

If successful, it could genuinely be exhilarating, and if not, it would still ensure Zheng Yichen’s safer arrival at his destination.

No choice nor thought needed, everything was worth betting on, and Du Gang had the opportunity to hold back and the right to gamble!

"Don’t apologize to me—it was my choice!" Du Gang knocked on the table, "We are comrades-in-arms, not a commander or superior. We made this decision together. I have no regrets, so why should you?"

"I just feel a bit shortchanged," Zheng Yichen sincerely stated, less impulsive now without the influence of demonic thoughts. After careful consideration, it really wasn’t worth it to risk a reserved opportunity for the Boundary Breaking Organization.

"Hahaha, shortchanged? It’s done now." Du Gang stood up, "Wait till I grab some good stuff, then we can close this Chapter. After this, our feats will be known among the Dusk mercenaries."

"We need to be a bit more careful in the future. In a high-level environment, we can perform better. In a low-level one, we’ll be more passive."

Du Gang nodded, "True, but that’s for later. You should get a reserved opportunity soon. It’s a pity we don’t have a mission in the Great World; the merit points you would have earned could have really made the Boundary Breaking Organization’s heads spin."

"It’s fine if we don’t have it. After all, coming back alive is all that matters." Zheng Yichen wasn’t too insistent about this.

While Du Gang went to fetch the good stuff, Yichen approached the entrance of Dusk and checked the outside, where the deep blue sky was no longer there. It must have consumed a lot of Strength to maintain its power, probably close to that of the Heaven-Shaking Cannon, perhaps even stronger in terms of destructive power.

It was also more stable. The cannon gave off a sense of going on a rampage, igniting everything, whereas the sky expressed a profound silence.

Some Boundary Breakers were still active in the area, though the closest was about ten kilometers away. When Zheng Yichen appeared at the entrance, some halted what they were doing and looked towards him.

The impression Zheng Yichen left was too deep. Seeing a now-normal Yichen here, they couldn’t help feeling sentimental and pressured. In their headquarters in the Great World, they hadn’t managed to kill such a Proxy Agent; it might be better not to encounter him in the future.

The Boundary Breaking Organization hadn’t issued a directive that they could give up on their tasks upon seeing Zheng Yichen. However, for those who knew about this, even without the directive from the organization, they would still be apprehensive.

"Stop looking outside, you can’t escape. Come, try some of my collection." Du Gang called Yichen back—he had finished observing the outside.

While Zheng Yichen was still recovering, the situation outside had actually become livelier. However, the Boundary Breakers gathered here soon left after receiving new orders, and the vicinity of Dusk returned to silence.

As for this world’s Dusk nun population, it shocked Du Gang too. In his world, there were thirty nuns, but this world had more than three hundred.

This indicated that the human population in the Great World might be more than ten times that of his world...

With so many Dusk nuns, the population of humans or intelligent beings was hundreds to thousands of times that of his world, and this was a conservative estimate.

Most of the Dusk nuns here were humans, but some were similar to alien demons.

"You sure know how to enjoy life?" Looking at the stuff Du Gang had moved, Zheng Yichen was rather surprised, seeing real delicacies.

"Hahaha! After I recovered, I contacted people to start preparing these. These are specialties only found in Metamorphosis City and the ancient capital. We haven’t had a good meal since we arrived in the Great World. Now it’s time to make up for that."

As for the place where they were eating being in Dusk...that didn’t matter, Du Gang was not a man to lose face, what did the number of Dusk mercenaries matter here? They had to eat regardless, and besides, wasn’t this rare experience worth celebrating properly?

They’d engaged in nothing but fighting and traveling in the Great World, but that wasn’t without rewards.

The Great World was rich with resources; they had killed some unique beings, and Zheng Yichen, a bloodsucker, had even kept some parts that seemed important. During their time in Hell, they had collected unique items from the Hell Islands.

Zheng Yichen had a built-in space capable of storing lots of their spoils of war—all earned through life-risking effort.

Du Gang, chewing on meat, said, "After we part this time, we’ll have to make special time to meet again. Other than that, we’re both busy with our own things."

The camaraderie developed through fighting side by side spoke for itself; although they hadn’t known each other long, both had proven reliable. The problem was that as Proxy Agents, they mostly couldn’t fight side by side...

"That’s not a big issue. We can still keep in touch daily, and if I have time, I’ll visit your place."

"Ha, Vajra Body, huh? I actually thought about letting you drink my blood at the last moment," Du Gang said with a smile, sharing his thoughts.

Zheng Yichen immediately waved his hand, "No, that would make me feel weird in many ways. I won’t do it."

He did not hesitate to attack enemies or those deserving death, but he wouldn’t accept such a proposal from Du Gang.

"So I didn’t really bring it up. Don’t worry, there’s never a shortage of people who deserve to die in the ancient capital."

Zheng Yichen laughed lightly, "You could say that about any normal world. There’ll never be a shortage of people who deserve to die."
