Chapter 494: The Obsessive Self
The World Will was truly about to explode with rage.
What was Su Tao? She was Its puppet, Its plaything! This was Its world; everything in this world was Its property. Su Tao was merely a somewhat crucial linchpin within this world, and now she dared to resist It!
In this world, given enough time and the right medium, It could influence and manipulate anyone. Yet that dead rat Chi Xiaocheng had actually destroyed Its chess pieces one by one!
Fifty percent! Fifty percent! Fifty percent! If it weren't for this reduced character weight, how would you, Su Tao, be qualified to face Me, a god! And now you even dare to mention Chi Xiaocheng in front of Me!
“Just shut up!”
The World Will roared, directly using Its authority to suppress Su Tao. At that instant, the voice in her heart, obsessively searching for Chi Xiaocheng, slowly quieted down. Immediately, a look of comfortable satisfaction appeared on the World Will’s face. It loved this feeling of controlling everything.
Ah, Su Tao, Su Tao, this is how you should be. What "your Xiaocheng"? She was merely a bug that appeared in this world's progression. In this predetermined world, she was nothing more than a passerby in your life. After tonight, when I, in your identity, bring Chi Xiaocheng home and slit her throat with the small knife she gave you, then your life will return to normal. At that point, you won’t be calling out "Xiaocheng, Xiaocheng" like this anymore.
However, after It used Its authority, Su Tao’s voice did quiet down in Its mind for a brief moment, then faintly sounded again, “You want to kill Xiaocheng, don’t you?”
As the voice sounded, the World Will tsked, but still didn't take it seriously. “Haven’t we talked about this already? It’s not killing her, but a process of letting her merge with you~ We can let her fall into an eternal slumber, steep her ashes in water, and if you're still not satisfied, we can even dig out her eyes, liver, heart, and so on, and transplant them onto your body. That way she'll be with you, living together in your heart.”
Truly living in your heart, you see~ The World Will's words were filled with disdain and triumph. Oh well, it was enough to just humor this fellow. Once Chi Xiaocheng was dead, who could truly know what would happen?
But the World Will clearly couldn’t foresee that Chi Xiaocheng’s love for Su Tao was so deep she could die for her, and Su Tao herself had often wished it was she who died, not Chi Xiaocheng. She was a bit dense, very passive, and often influenced by the World Will, but this didn’t mean she didn't like Chi Xiaocheng. She simply couldn’t escape the shackles of being the "protagonist."
The girl trapped in a dark heart chamber quieted for a moment, and just when the World Will thought it had complete control, she suddenly spoke out again, “You want to kill Xiaocheng?”
Her voice was hoarse, with a hint of question, clearly revealing suppressed emotions.
The World Will impatiently replied, “I already told you, it’s about letting her be with you forever.”
“Nonsense!” The pupils of Su Tao’s body suddenly contracted, as if something extremely shocking had occurred, then her mouth abruptly opened, almost cursing, roaring, “You just want to kill Xiaocheng!”
The voice was full of aggression. This was no longer a voice sounding from within her heart, but genuinely shouted from her mouth. The shock reflected in those constricted pupils was the World Will’s own burst of emotion. It was astonished. Su Tao, who had already been completely controlled and whose soul was locked deep within her mind, why could she still contend with It for control of this body? She even spoke out loud.
What do you mean by this? Are you resisting Me?!
The World Will was furious. “Su Tao, I told you it’s all for your own good, why are you shouting? Just obey me, isn't that enough? Is Chi Xiaocheng really that important?!”
“You… you wish you could kill Xiaocheng!”
“I didn’t say I wanted to kill her!”
“You just want to kill Xiaocheng!”
“I said it’s for your own good, can’t you calm down? If you keep this up, do you believe I'll really kill Chi Xiaocheng? You don't want your Xiaocheng hurt, do you?”
“If you dare kill Xiaocheng, I’ll kill you!!!”
“Damn it, are you crazy?!”
The World Will could feel that Su Tao’s soul was constantly fighting for control of this body; the cage that had locked her was already broken free with each of her angry roars. Now, even taking a single step became difficult for It. It had to divert energy to suppress Su Tao’s increasingly violent consciousness.
And just then, the World Will suddenly felt that the right hand of Su Tao’s current body had inexplicably become uncontrollable. It turned its head and gaze, and found that the right hand was trembling continuously, gradually forming a fist.
“Wh—” The other half of the word “What” hadn’t even come out when that clenched fist suddenly struck its face.
If there were outsiders present, then to them, it would look like Su Tao had suddenly punched herself. A searing pain transmitted, leaving the World Will bewildered. It controlled this world, priding itself on being the only god here. When had it ever been hit by anyone? But before It could react, another sentence uncontrollably shouted from its mouth, “I won’t allow you to harm Xiaocheng!”
Had Su Tao regained her sanity? No, at this moment, she was merely resisting the World Will purely by instinct. Or rather, by the instinct to protect Chi Xiaocheng. The target of the attack was not the World Will, but everyone who wanted to harm her beloved girl.
Why must Xiaocheng be killed? Xiaocheng almost died before; must she experience the feeling of losing her again? Whoever dares harm Xiaocheng, I shall end their life! —War God Bloodline fully activated, Burst Kill Stream Tao Tao runes deployed.
At this moment, she was truly searching for her self.
Resisted, ignored, and even punched. The World Will’s face grew darker and darker.
“Enough!”
An angry shout burst from its mouth, and the World Will once again directly used Its authority. This time, the body, which had still been twitching, completely stilled. No matter how hard Su Tao struggled, she was, after all, just a mortal. Her character weight was still above the baseline. The deterrence from the soul level made the girl's consciousness completely faint.
But the World Will wasn't happy at all. There was a thief at home, a grown-up rat. Every time It used Its authority, it would inevitably be remotely stolen by Chi Xiaocheng’s system. That was Its lost power, power that originally belonged to It; how could It be happy? Just like now, It had indeed suppressed Su Tao, but Its power had once again been stolen away by the system.
“You all deserve to die!”
The World Will touched its aching face, its tongue even licked the bleeding spot inside its mouth, and it took a deep, heavy breath. It didn’t matter anymore. After tonight, everything in this world would return to normal. Why? Because It had already descended!
The evening breeze rustled its beautiful hair, and the World Will stood proudly under a cluster of lights. Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind, “Miss Su Tao, why are you here?”
The World Will turned back and saw an old man holding a yo-yo.
Su Tao? Hah, you blind old fool, what stands before you now is a god!
