I Am Extraordinary Alone
Chapter 426 - 424: Sisyphus

Chapter 426: Chapter 424: Sisyphus

Wei Tianyang stepped onto the windowsill and leapt out of the window, with the air condensing into invisible steps beneath his feet.

He walked through the air for a few steps, then his body began to slowly ascend, accelerating gradually. Only after he was a certain distance from the Pei Guode Hotel rooftop did he let himself turn to steel, pushing his speed to the maximum.

He broke through the atmosphere at a speed of 20 machs and then floated aimlessly in the vacuum of space.

The rising sun from the east cast fiery light upon him, its excessive radiation penetrating his body. However, this energy remained within him and gathered in the palm of his hand to form a golden orb.

He shook his hand, and the orb turned into light dust, drifting away.

Over the past few years, he had remained silent and discovered a disheartening truth.

Regardless of whether he helped those nations, there would be no fundamental change in the world.

Dynasties changed, wars ensued, political tug-of-wars continued... Multinational corporations were still conducting business. With Black Medicine and neutralizers flooding the market, superpower users were everywhere. Yet, those nations merely talked about valuing these issues without implementing any substantial measures.

War seemed to be no issue; to those politicians, war was a tool, uncontrollable violence was the real problem.

He was the problem.

The passion that had ignited in Chicken Snake Country had long since cooled. Revenge had never ended, but the enemy had become an abstract concept.

Punching the air was futile.

Wei Tianyang turned around and looked towards the distant tiny Moon.

He set off, prepared for all eventualities.

His current speed wasn’t as fast as a rocket, so it still took some time to reach the Moon.

From Earth, the Moon appeared pristine white, but at this moment, it looked dull gray to him.

He landed on the lunar surface, looked around; it was a vast depression. His sneakers left two footprints on the ground.

It was very quiet here, with no one around. Wei Tianyang felt like a camel trekking through the desert, meandering through this winding valley.

He still remembered his first time aboard the space station, seeing the Moon objectively in real life kindled his curiosity.

Voices in his head prodded him, and for safety, Wei Tianyang turned into a black giant, ready for combat, before slowly merging into objective reality.

The gray-white barren land beneath him transformed into bare, blood-red skin.

But this skin was extremely hard and took on a misty translucent quality. He could see jelly-like muscles and slowly flowing blood beneath it.

Looking up, the galaxy that enveloped the Moon shimmered like the auroras above.

Wei Tianyang wanted to rise a bit to see which part of this giant body he was on.

At that moment, a force of gravity gripped his feet firmly, trapping him on the lunar surface!

Caught... Wei Tianyang’s eyes were blood red, his body fully prepared for combat. As he was about to strike the ground with all his might, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind:

"Do not panic."

He held his hand high in mid-air, and at that moment, he felt the bindings on his feet being undone.

"Are you still alive?" Wei Tianyang communicated telepathically.

"I am dead. But I continue to exist, like a footnote," replied the Moon.

"Who killed you?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"The myriad stars. They have always been there," the Moon replied.

Wei Tianyang looked up at the auroras, realizing that his pupils couldn’t see through these entities.

"We should not have met like this, nor should you have come here," the Moon said.

"Let me be clearer." Wei Tianyang said.

"I was defeated, They use stars to watch over me, turning me into a cage." the Moon said.

"Who are you?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"I am another version of you. I am what you might become, They hope to trap you through me, but I have a trick up my sleeve." the Moon said.

"What do you mean?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"I can send you away, but the stars will erase your memory of being here... I might as well tell you now, the stars are always watching this place, you can’t fight Them alone." the Moon said.

"Who are They? Those that fell from the sky? I met three live ones, then killed them all." Wei Tianyang said.

"Those were just punctuation, the real characters have yet to show themselves, They are currently too preoccupied to care about this place; those that fell from the sky are but feeble ones fleeing from Them." the Moon said.

Wei Tianyang paused, then said, "Fleeing? They merely seek a role in the grand narrative, to continue existing."

"The real strong ones are seeking to rewrite the grand narrative; some are continuing it." the Moon said.

"What about you?" Wei Tianyang said.

"I am the original superpower user, from the year 2000 BC. I was once Pharaoh’s guard, then I chased the sun, wanting to understand the true nature of the world. The people of the earth called me ’Ra’." the Moon said.

"2000 BC... the Heavenly Falling Objects didn’t start until around 1975..." Wei Tianyang gasped.

"They came much earlier than you think... some left, and some stayed, becoming part of mythology." the Moon said.

"Mythology... is it all real?" Wei Tianyang said.

"The myriad of stars, all watching us... I originally wanted to explore the universe but discovered that this vast emptiness is a cage, They do not allow us to go too far, I flew a bit too far, violating Their taboo." the Moon said.

"I’ll go and annihilate Them!" Wei Tianyang shouted angrily.

"You, alone, cannot fight Them; I can feel you are stronger than me... but not strong enough. Their numbers are in the trillions, perhaps even more. The only consolation is that They also fight among themselves, only then can we manage to survive in a corner." the Moon said.

"I can restore you." Wei Tianyang said.

"You can’t, I’ve become a cage, I can only send you safely away from my vicinity, but you will lose the memory of our conversation." the Moon said.

"I will definitely remember, I can engrave it on my body." Wei Tianyang said.

"That won’t work. This isn’t amnesia, it’s a ’restoration’. Any information you try to keep will revert to how it was the moment you are transported away." the Moon said.

"In that case... after I leave, I will forget about this massive crisis!" Wei Tianyang said.

"That is Their purpose, to trap and to cause forgetfulness. You can’t win, not alone." the Moon said.

He looked up into the deep space, his crimson eyes piercing the cosmos, the myriad of stars, all enemies of man...

Those stars, they blinked like eyes. The auroras are barriers of memory and memes.

"There is no way, in the grand narrative, our Chapter’s end is already destined. There are no other endings..." the Moon said.

"I will find a way." Wei Tianyang said.

"Good luck to you, now, I am going to send you away, take care." the Moon said.

Suddenly, everything went dark in front of Wei Tianyang’s eyes, and in the blink of an eye, when his vision returned to normal, he found himself back in the subjective reality of the universe, floating between the earth and the moon.

Wei Tianyang turned back, looking towards that small moon in the distance.

He began to fly, landing on the surface of the moon, his sneakers imprinting two footprints on the ground.

It was very quiet here, no one else around, he remembered seeing the other side of the moon in objective reality, and became somewhat curious.

He turned into a black giant, slowly merging into objective reality...

Ra felt somewhat emotional, repeating the same conversation with Wei Tianyang over and over again, sending him away time and again...
