Chapter 154: Thirty Eight New Deals (New)

“Would you like to make a new deal?”

Upon hearing these words, Gerard’s body shuddered unconsciously.

How many times had this happened already?

From his initial eyes to his current fingers, Gerard felt that he was sinking step by step into the abyss lured by the devil, and he was always the one making the choices.

What about this time?

He gripped the photo tightly, feeling the rain beat down on his body, observing the completely scrapped metallic body parts… Gerard couldn’t remember the last time he had been this wretched, not even when he first emerged from the Polluted Land ten years ago.

And what was he facing now?

Gerard lifted his head, the gloomy sky was like a slab of grey iron, suffocating him.

He knew he wasn’t powerful enough to break this iron-like sky, to destroy it, he needed fire, a fire that could burn everything away.

And he had seen that fire just last night.

At this moment, Gerard understood that every time, it seemed he had a choice, but in fact… he did not.

“You…” Gerard slowly started, “what do you want?”

“Oh? Can I take it that you’re already inclined to this by asking this question?” Bai Wei said with a light chuckle, “It seems you’ve finally realized that now, only I can help you… It’s just a pity, if you had realized this sooner, things might not have escalated to this point. But I can understand, if you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes, you probably wouldn’t believe what I’ve said, after all, in your eyes, I probably don’t seem much different from that newly born abomination.”

Gerard didn’t speak, but they both knew what he was apprehensive about—he had always feared that he would unleash an even more uncontrollable entity.

“You really shouldn’t worry too much about this. I don’t have much interest in Lyra City… Besides, there’s only so much I can do with just your sacrifice alone.” Bai Wei said lightly, “Look, all I did in Rhein was to kill a Bishop, but what about that new abomination? It plans to slaughter your gods, which makes me seem rather harmless, doesn’t it?”

Gerard: “…”

“Let’s not talk about these trivial things anymore.” Bai Wei put away his playful demeanor, his focus shifted to his fingers, and then straightened them bit by bit, “eye to eye” with Gerard, “Since it’s a new deal, I can also show you some sincerity first. I’ll give you a free piece of information—your god can last at most another month.”

Despite trying hard to suppress it, Gerard’s expression still showed a slight change.

Had it not been for what he saw last night, he would never have believed Bai Wei, but now… he didn’t have the luxury of disbelief.

Nor did he ask “Is the timing accurate?” such nonsense, he just stared at his middle finger, and then slowly asked, “What will happen then?”

Bai Wei was glad that Gerard asked directly the crucial question.

“Many people will die, a lot of people. Because that new god is far crazier than Lyra, and its birth will be accompanied by grand deaths.”

Bai Wei did not lie to Gerard.

This was the normal course of the story.

A month later, Sky Tower would collapse thunderously, the new god would be reborn upon the flesh and blood of the Old God, and simultaneously slay nearly one-third of Lyra’s population.

Bai Wei used his eye’s ability to make this scene appear in Gerard’s mind; he saw that new god, formed from piles of flesh, spraying the fiery infernos of Sky Tower into the air, a red sky raining fire, and the grand Lyra City sinking in a sea of fire.

The overwhelming sense of powerlessness washed over him like a tidal wave, nearly toppling Gerard.

But he resisted, again looking at his middle finger: “Can all of this still be prevented?”

“Of course,” Bai Wei said with a light chuckle, “or what do you think we’re discussing right now?”

“You mean… you will stop it?”

“Of course not,” Bai Wei’s response was unexpected, “Just having eyes and fingers, I have no way to directly confront such a fellow, although He isn’t considered powerful among gods.”

“Not by you?” Perhaps due to blood loss, Gerard’s mind was a bit dull, “Then who can stop Him?”

“That’s a strange way to put it,” Bai Wei spoke, “Isn’t your god still alive? Or are you hoping your god dies sooner?”

Gerard returned to his senses, ignoring Bai Wei’s jest and directly asked, “You mean… to save my Lord, Lyra?”

“That’s right, even though I’m not fond of Lyra, as of now, only that Old God is capable of dealing with the new god,” Bai Wei spoke lightly, “His condition isn’t very good, but he still isn’t dead yet. Gods aren’t that easily killed, hence why the New Chaser Association… your son’s group is trying to weaken Him from a practical standpoint by killing Bishops, because the new god also can’t immediately kill Him.”
