Beginning Of Multiverse Saga

Chapter 186: End Of Simulation

Zhao Ruizhi stood with his arms behind him and exclaimed proudly, "Is this not the case? Whatever, I can just kill you, and everything will be over."

He didn’t want to stall for time anymore. His arms unfolded, and the pool of blood became chaotic. Endless blood tentacles shot out from behind him. Following his movements, the entire place became dyed blood red. The terrifying pressure made it difficult to even breathe for someone like Catherine with weaker cultivation.

But Sharky looked as if he hadn’t even noticed anything happening. He muttered, "Let’s risk all in one, activate Clockwork."

Sharky’s sleeve swept out, and the scene before him suddenly completely changed. They were no longer in the previous room, but instead on a massive stage. Catherine keenly sensed something. Wasn’t this the plaza they had passed through before they entered the palace?

Zhao Ruizhi’s attack naturally hit empty air. When he saw where he was now, his brows furrowed deeply. The other party had a mass teleportation ability? How?

He quickly became vigilant and suddenly raised his head. He saw that the originally spacious and open environment had suddenly been filled with black-armored soldiers. All of them had grave expressions on their faces, their orderly formation exuding a powerful and intimidating killing intent.

What he was most concerned about were the two generals in front. One wielded a powerful bow, while the other carried a giant sickle blade.

"Long live the emperor! Long live, long live!" The soldiers gripped their weapons while bending down on one knee in unison. The Templar army was clearly incapable of speech, and yet the plaza was filled with roaring voices.

Zhao Ruizhi roared with laughter. "I was wondering what kind of trump cards you had. You wanted to win against me with just these clay toys?"

Catherine was worried. The soldiers had only managed to seriously injure Zhao Ruizhi when they surrounded him, but now these soldiers probably couldn’t...

Sharky remained expressionless. He pointed forward and commanded, "Kill him!"

The Tai’e Sword flickered with specks of light that scattered across the endless soldiers’ bodies. The half kneeling soldiers all got up, then turned toward Zhao Ruizhi simultaneously. With the sound of heavy footfalls, they walked forward, striking their shields with their weapons. The noise sounded like the reaper’s war drums, and also like voices that demanded the surrender of lives. An austere aura flooded the world.

Zhao Ruizhi’s expression changed. He could sense that the soldiers were different from before, so he didn’t dare to show any carelessness. He controlled his sword as he charged, intending to tear straight through the soldiers’ defenses and eliminate Sharky.

The warriors standing at the very front were instantly crushed by the sword attack. However, the soldiers behind them immediately got into formation. They continued to swarm toward Zhao Ruizhi like an ocean of steel!

In the beginning, Zhao Ruizhi was able to easily tear through the enemy army. Wherever the sword went, destruction ensued.

On the contrary, the Templar army was not alive, so they didn’t feel fear like normal human armies. They remained expressionless even as Zhao Ruizhi tore through their numbers. They executed the orders of their generals with robotic precision, maintaining their formation like a well-oiled machine.

Fear gradually grew inside of Zhao Ruizhi. He could no longer continue his brute offense and began to back up. Unfortunately, as soon as he pulled back, it was as if a landslide had crashed down on him. He was drowned under an endless sea of soldiers.

Zhao Ruizhi roared, erupting with terrifying energy. He was about to fight to the death. At the same time, he started attacking Sharky.

Archer’s special soldier drew his bow and fired. Streaks of light tore through the sky, severing the tentacles one after another. The archers under his command fired their bows as well, and a storm of arrows poured down on the giant octopus’ body.

Zhao Ruizhi roared and roared. Unfortunately, the arrows weren’t ordinary arrows, and they all had exorcism properties. Zhao Ruizhi soon found that he couldn’t take the assault anymore and returned to human form.

"He was forced back!" Catherine laughed. When she saw Zhao Ruizhi’s sorry state, she finally felt a bit better.

"Sharky, if you have the guts, then fight me in a fair battle!" Zhao Ruizhi roared in anger and alarm.

Sharky said expressionlessly, "You are Earth Immortal rank, and I was not a master rank, the fight was not fair to begin with."

Zhao Ruizhi looked Sharky with an angry expression, but there was no way he was going to just stand there and wait for his death. He then activated his strongest attack, all things started turning into gold.

Then he leaped up, and then returned back on the ground with a massive punch, and then all of the Templar Soldiers were destroyed.

"Now, who is going to save you," Zhao Ruizhi asked, looking at Sharky.

"Then let’s get ready for the final battle," Sharky muttered, he has already used his powers over the limit his body can bear. Now, he was ready for a final battle.

Then both Sharky and Zhao Ruizhi jumped and attacked each other. Both first collided with each other, and both of them blasted backwards.

Sharky suddenly cried out as blood gushed out of his mouth.

Catherine cried out in alarm, quickly moving to support him. "Sharky! Sharky, are you okay?" She could see the cracks covering Sharky’s skin. Some parts of his body seemed to be shattering. His body was frantically trying to recover, but his recovery speed was far inferior to the rate of collapse.

Sharky chuckled and said, "I thought I might explode to death on the spot. At the very least, though, we killed the Emperor."

"Do you know what kind of situation we’re in? How can you still joke around? Hurry and eat these medicines!" She took out all sorts of precious medicines while speaking.

"It’s useless." Sharky shook his head. He knew that his time came to an end in this Simulation world.

"Hahaha, maybe you are dying, but I am not," The Emperor’s voice came out, as he stood up from his blasted place.

Catherine was shocked looking at him, she didn’t know what was going to happen to her.

Sharky laughed looking at him.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Ruizhi asked, he feels there is something different.

"Did you know, I have used the Watchhard alien powers. Do you know, Watchhard is the controller of time. Although I was not able to kill you, from now on, your soul from the Crown Prince’s body will vanish forever. It was my gift for Catherine, that’s nothing happened to her." Sharky explained looking at Zhao Ruizhi.

"You," Zhao Ruizhi looked at Sharky, but he was not able to say more than this, and he became unconscious.

Then Sharky looked back at Catherine, he noticed his body was cracked apart again, and he would completely break apart soon afterward. He said with a sigh, "I guess I’m still dying here."

"Sharky..." Catherine rushed into his arms, tears pouring down her face. Her strong exterior was already nowhere to be seen.

"Don’t worry, even though I am dying now, I will return back one day, and then I will make everything fine," Sharky wanted to pat her head to console her, but he couldn’t even do something that simple anymore. He could only hug her.

Catherine was crying looking at him, Sharky looked at him, but then his body was cracked apart and turned into ashes. And with it Sharky takes his last breath in the simulation world.

Catherine looked at the place where Sharky was there, she was shocked and didn’t know what to do. Tears were continuously pouring down from her eyes.

Elsewhere, a certain someone didn’t feel great at all. In the Imperial Palace outside of the dungeon, Zhao Han had been meditating in his study. His expression suddenly changed, and blood sprayed out of his mouth. His face turned as pale as a sheet of paper, and his aura immediately became significantly weaker.

"What’s wrong, your highness?" Two lesser eunuchs ran over when they heard the activity. They jumped in fright when they saw the emperor’s condition, and were scared badly.

A glint flashed through Zhao Han’s eyes. The two lesser eunuchs felt as if an invisible hand had gripped their necks. Then, with a crack, they fell to the ground lifeless. How could they have known that their concern would instead become the cause of their death? How could the emperor let anyone who could potentially speak about his weakness live?

Zhao Han didn’t even give the two corpses a look. Instead, he moved over to the window and looked in the direction of the Royal Academy with an awful expression. His split soul had actually been erased! Even though there was a world separating them, so he couldn’t tell what happened, the two of them came from the same source. He had immediately felt it when his split soul disappeared.

He was incredibly shocked. Until that point, he had believed that everything was within his grasp. No matter what King George Manor had planned, even if he didn’t know about some of it, he believed it didn’t matter at all since his soul was in the crown prince’s body. It could just as easily take care of any situation, so why had it died?

Even though a new dungeon had appeared, he refused to believe that a new dungeon could threaten his split soul. Was it possible that Zhao Jing was also inside the dungeon?

Zhao Han quickly shouted, "Servant!"

Eunuch Wen came in and asked "What orders does your majesty have for me?"

He didn’t even give those two lesser eunuchs a single glance. He had already served the imperial study for many years; he knew what he should and shouldn’t be asking, and when he should be entering and when he shouldn’t. The two lesser eunuchs were just too young...

Zhao Han had already wiped away the blood on his lips, and his aura returned to normal. He said seropis;y, "Bring in King George for an audience... Wait, no, forget it. Have our network find out where King George is right now no matter the cost!"

He was worried that King George would be able to sense his body’s condition if he met him face to face. That would only further increase that man’s confidence and the number of variables.

Eunuch Wen hesitated for a moment. "That might expose the network we placed in King George Manor."

Finding out King George’s whereabouts wasn’t something any old intelligence group could accomplish. Only the highest level spy in King George Manor had a chance of knowing. But once such a person was used, with King George Manor’s sharpness, that person would be quickly exposed. That position in King George Manor wasn’t easy to obtain. It would be too much of a pity if the spy was lost because of this matter.

Zhao Ruizhi’s expression turned cold. "This emperor has already said ’no matter the cost’."

"I will obey the emperor’s decree!" Eunuch Wen shivered. The emperor clearly didn’t care about that person’s sacrifice at this point.

Sigh, so what if you were chosen for such an important position? Aren’t you still nothing but a chess piece in the end? I wonder when the same fate will await me...

But he didn’t dare to show any of those thoughts on his face. He slowly withdrew. Before leaving, he brought the two lesser eunuchs’ corpses with him. It was as if nothing had taken place there.

Zhao Han nodded in satisfaction. This servant understood tact well and dealt with things properly. But his mood only improved for a split second. Immediately afterward, his expression became ice-cold.

He stared in the direction of the Royal Academy rear mountain’s dungeon. What had happened inside?! His eternal life project of many years had been completely spoiled at the last step!

———

Catherine’s eyes turned red. Tears trickled down the sides of her fair face. She was still looking at the place where Sharky was.

Suddenly, mumbling could be heard in the distance. Catherine subconsciously looked in its direction, and saw Zhao Ruizhi’s body, that had been lying collapsed on the ground, move. Then he struggled to a seated position.

Zhao Ruizhi looked around himself in a daze, muttering, "Where am I..." He looked over in Catherine’s direction while speaking.

Catherine knew he was now not Emperor but the Crown Prince. Before going, Sharky has solved the trouble for her.
