Cheat Awakening-Chapter 683 - . Isn’t Enough

Myne, with the help of Waffle and Ted, easily got away from the Pollution Complex and the three giant monsters pursuing them. Because he didn't have to worry about the terrain or being devoured if the path was blocked, thanks to his pets' ability to fly, they rushed towards the centre at high speed. If there is anything Myne is most grateful about his past shelf, that would be his decision to give Waffle and Ted their flying skills.

The three colossal bosses were all lured away and paid no attention to the tiny black dot crawling beneath their feet, so small that it was imperceptible unless specifically observed.

Myne and his gang continued flying closer to the central pit. However, for Myne, the closer he got, the faster his mental strength visibly declined, and the borders of his vision began to darken.

He was clearly being affected by the mental pollution at an alarming rate and losing his sanity. If he had some kind of device to monitor this, it would've been bombarding him with warning notifications by now.

"There are still the last hundred meters go. This is definitely the first time I've felt like such a short distance is f*cking long!"

Myne's blood boiled. Despite experiencing intense mental shocks, his eyes remained extremely firm. Since he didn't have to do anything to move forward, he was using all his strength to stay calm. Waffle and Ted also knew Myne's situation wasn't very optimistic, so they were rushing forward like arrows.

Finally, they reached the edge of the enormous pit in the city's centre and peered into it.

At that moment, a rumbling sensation filled Myne's head! Whether his eyes were open or closed, he could only see a meaningless expanse of darkness. Countless voices whispered in his ears, and he felt as if phantom limbs seemed to pull at his body!

It was as if his consciousness was being dragged into hell, buried deep in the abyss—then thrown into a black hole!

Even the golden clock was ticking, and large cracks appeared on it—but thankfully, it still held on, trying its best to save Myne's ass.

In the next second, his spirit was about to be torn into pieces like fragile paper!

Woof!

Just as Myne feeling soul-tearing pain, and he was about to reach the end of his pathatic life, the sound of a dog barking echoed in his mind, and a sharp pain pierced his right hand. This caused his body to shake violently as if he had been pulled from the ocean's depths. His mind and spirit instantly cleared.

He was drenched in sweat and looked shocked and surprised, but there was more delight to manage to save his life.

"What just happened?"

The moment he saw the pit, he lost consciousness and fell into a strange, dreamlike place, which, to be honest, was creepy and disturbing even for someone who had witnessed many unsettling things.

He looked down and saw Ted biting his right hand hard, his teeth deeply embedded in the skin, causing blood to gush out. Ted showed no intention of letting go. His eyes shone with an eerie dark red light, and his body was enveloped in a creepy aura—so intense that even Myne felt a trace of fear from it.

Although he wanted to ask Ted what the hell was wrong with him and how he'd helped him, now was obviously not the time to chit-chat or think about such things.

His mental strength was still dropping rapidly, but thanks to Ted's mysterious help, he was at least temporarily okay and could already look directly at what lay inside the pit before them.

It was a huge, dark, slightly purplish heart, about the size of a washbasin, beating weakly in a pit with a fifty-meter radius. It looked as if it had fallen from outer space like a meteorite, destroying an entire planet in one fell swoop. Now it was in an extremely weakened state, but it clearly refused to accept death so simply, so it created those monsters to protect it.

"Is this damn thing the source of the pollution in this world?"

Myne stared at the beating heart, shocked beyond words. Who would have thought that the entity responsible for such horrors and monsters, and the destruction of the city, if not the entire planet, was just a half-dead heart? He also couldn't understand how, without any kind of energy, this evil thing could even stay alive in the first place.

"So this f*cking heart has been beating here for the past two years, and creating all kinds of troubles?" For a moment, Myne couldn't believe his own words. But now, being so close, he could finally see the contents of the { ? } and { ! }.

The question mark revealed:

{ This is the heart of an ancient god. }

And the exclamation mark displayed:

{ Pierce it to end the world's pollution and obtain an ancient god's heart that is about to be destroyed. Along with the destruction of the heart, this world fragment will be able to escape the Abyss's grasp, and all the people summoned into this world will return to their original world. }

"Finally, a clear indication leading home!"

Myne was really worried that even if they destroyed the source of the collapse, they might not be able to return to their world. He breathed a sigh of relief after reading the message from his ability, but his eyes were still fixed on the half-dead heart, which didn't seem as simple as it looked.

Before taking action, he wanted to consult with the woman in red, in case things got out of hand, so they could prepare to escape. However, when he turned his head, he was shocked to find only Ocea, who gave him an apologetic smile. There was no sign of his dear girlfriend.

"Ocea, where on earth is she? Wasn't she with you?" He asked, disbelief evident in his voice. He couldn't believe that what he feared had really happened—he had indeed lost his most powerful general before the battle had even begun.

"While we were on the way, something seemed to happen to her. She stubbornly asked me to let her go, and when I refused, she hit me hard and ran away. Before I could catch her, she displayed monstrous strength and vanished from my sight in seconds. I couldn't do anything but helplessly watch her. I wanted to tell you, but you weren't in a good condition then, so... I'm sorry," Ocea apologized, with what seemed like crocodile tears in her eyes.

The woman in red, after her falling out with Myne, had behaved very rudely towards him. Although she still adored his pets and treated them kindly, Ocea, as a loyal supporter of her brother, obviously didn't have a good impression of her, who treated him as if he were a piece of shit during the day, talking cold, cursing him, and make all kind of trouble, while at night, she turned into a completely different person and acted lovey-dovey with him, and glue to him, and refuse to let him as if they were in love or something.

She hated such two-faced b*tches the most. That's why, when the woman in red asked to be let go, Ocea, without hesitation or questioning, threw her down from the sky and didn't even look back. Otherwise, with her strength, the woman in red couldn't have escaped so easily if she had truly wanted to stop her. She could have simply used a few skills, and the woman in red knew who the real boss was. If not for the fact that using her skills could attract those giant monsters' attention, she even wanted to give the woman in red a farewell gift.

But Ocea knew she couldn't tell Myne the truth, as he might get angry. So, she fabricated a story with half-truths and half-lies, and as she expected, he didn't doubt her.

"Maybe, coming near the source of the collapse, something went wrong with her ability. I hope she's fine," Myne said with a helpless sigh, putting his girlfriend's matter aside. His sanity was declining at a rapid rate, and he didn't have time to worry about others.

He pulled the cursed knife from behind, and after ordering Waffle and the others to stay on standby, he rushed straight up the slope.

However, at the critical moment, when he was very close to the heart, something unexpected happened.

This huge pit with the heart in the centre, which should have been impossible for anyone else but Myne and his pet gang to enter, suddenly echoed with a voice from his right side. It spoke to him in a teasing tone:

"Brat, that broken knife with a bit of hell's blessing of yours can't pierce the heart of an ancient god. Don't you think you're underestimating a god a bit too much—especially an ancient one?"
