The Last Gentleman-Chapter 722 - 720: Conclusion

From beginning to end, Lorrian never trusted anyone, not even William, with whom he had established a long-term cooperative relationship,

after all, it was William who had requested the trip to the Central Domain.

Given Williams character and his previous modus operandi, it was completely possible that he had preemptively laid plans within the Central Domain, perhaps even mobilizing the Circuss employees to hastily create a Hidden Village or to summon a Lung Dragon.

But as the journey continued through the lakebed and into the inner space, encountering the incarnation of a god,

Lorrian came to believe that it was also Williams first visit here;however, he did not trust this suddenly emerging old thing from another world, who ostensibly claimed to suppress evil beings but actually had various logical loopholes in his behavior.

That was why Lorrian left his group at the first chance when the old man headed to the park,

Even if William really had a way to leave the "Independent Space," Lorrian couldnt completely rely on him and end up in a passive situation.

Lorrian had to always maintain the "initiative," ensuring at least that he could leave the city on his own to return to the outside world, and to ensure that he would not be suddenly killed by some emerging thing.

Since he had cut off connection with the Moon and could not draw on Moonlight Power, Lorrian decided to create one on the spot.

After all, he had long considered the extreme scenario of moonlight loss, and therefore carried on his person Moon Crystals mined from the depths of the Moon.

After parting ways with the people at the entrance of the park, he immediately found a basement in a high-rise building to start creating a moon,

"Is William stupid or smart...? To follow an old thing hes barely acquainted with into such a dangerous area, and besides, that old thing has control over a peculiar skill related to breathing.

If its a trap set by him, it would lead to immediate death.

Its unlikely to be stupidity, as William, being a special Madman, was once a Completion that I valued, so he must have had thorough considerations in advance.

He must have confirmed through some information unknown to me that the old man could be trusted.

But the pervasive sense of Despair throughout the city, as well as the increasing sensation of Physical detachment, seem to have affected the foundational Rules of the World, so extra caution is necessary."

Before long, under Lorrians hands, a Moon Embryo was created.

It was a living egg, covered with Moon Craters.

Each breath it took absorbed the surrounding rock layers, making it harder and causing the high-rise building it was housed in to Sink, as if the whole building were being gradually devoured by the Moon Embryo.

Not only that,

But the streets around it began to collapse towards the moon-creating spot;the space itself seemed compressed, causing the whole city to start shaking.

If it had been the past, the Gu Dragon Lung Dragon overseeing the city would have attacked at the first opportunity, but now the situation was peculiar, and they were hiding in the Lung Temple, waiting for the outcome.

Eventually, at the cost of absorbing half the city, he created a miniature One-Time Moon, for use only in this place.

Lorrian then used the Moon Manipulation Skill to shrink this temporary moon down to the size of a ping pong ball, which hovered behind him,

When he stepped back onto the streets.

Intense waves of Evil Thought spilled from Central Park, even making Lorrians hair stand on end. He had seen the Chaos linked by Insomniac Galon in other worlds, but he had never experienced such a bizarre sensation before.

As the New Moon Origin, he could clearly sense the precise condition of William, the First Infected,

Just as he tried to access Williams personal information,

His naturally cascading silver hair inexplicably floated up, standing upright, even Lorrians moon eyes were oozing with an aura of Chaos.

"Williams eyes... have been erased by the Rules! What in the world is he doing! In this way, he is no longer complete, not as perfect as before, without value, without aesthetic!"

The back teeth clenched tightly until Lorrian bit down hard enough to completely shatter his teeth.

"Damn it! For William to care so little for his body, if he wants to become incomplete, if he wants to die, it should be by my hand and not perish in such a place."

Lorrians Thoughts began to turn slightly chaotic, his rationality was mildly affected, and he felt like something crystalline and red was about to emerge from his forehead.

The One-Time Moon floated in his palm as Lorrian walked straight into the park, now tainted by story.

...

In the depths of the park.

After a series of battles, both William and Yi Chen had also realized a key fact,

That what they were facing, what they were fighting against, what they were trying to annihilate, was not a being from the past, but rather a Concept, a Story.

Any action they took could make this Story more complicated, more frenzied;the longer the time dragged on, the harder it was to control. They needed to resort to their true methods to completely erase this Story in a short span of time.

Currently,

Yi Chen lay on the ground, paralyzed on one side, with only one hand functioning,

While William, with one eye remaining, sat cross-legged nearby, clasping the Abyss within his abdomen, as Dentist Jessica had adjusted him to his best state, ready for Abyss Flipping at any moment.

Women holding spoons continuously emerged from the woods of the park, William could even foresee the scene of being scooped out by hundreds of spoons,

Just as he was about to flip the object, the Moon in Water caught his eye.

Night had fallen, and the bright moon hung low in the sky.

The intense moonlight poured down, shining on the bodies of the evil women projected from the stories,

Sizzling! It immediately caused a strong corrosive effect, burning away their hats and masks and revealing faces that were extremely ugly and covered in scars.

Ah~ The park was filled with constant screams,

The attention of the evil women was distracted by the sudden appearance of the Moon, all turning their eyes to the sky.

However, in the backdrop of their stories, there was no mention of collecting the Moon, so they didnt position their spoons toward it.

When they redirected their gaze back down, intending to focus on William, they found that his image had completely changed.

No longer was there a young man sitting cross-legged on the ground,

but a faceless entity with a pitch-black body that lay somewhere between layers of rock and skin,

devoid of any external organs, only the muscle contours and the holes in the abdomen were preserved,

His aura no longer radiated outward but converged inward,

When the evil women tried to aim their spoons at this dark entity, they found that the story object collection trait was ineffective, or rather, due to the flipping of various organs and tissues, there was nothing left to collect.

William, displaying the Abyss Body, did not launch an attack,

William was well aware that even if he killed all these women, he would only be eliminating the projections of the story, unable to affect the story itself,

What he needed to do was to find the storys embodiment, or to forcibly bring about the storys embodiment.

With a leap of his feet,

Wham! The ground bore two vortex-shaped marks,

William landed directly on the surface of the temporary Moon, not very large, about the size of half a soccer field.

After confirming the feasibility of his idea, whoosh! He plunged his hands into the surface of the Moon, performing an action that transcended both logic and rulesflipping objects.

And this time, the object he intended to flip was none other than a newly formed temporary Moon.

Amidst the roaring emanating from the depths of the Abyss in his abdomen, the dark side of the Moon was flipped over,

black, covered with ejections, blood vessels filled with solid particles flowing through them...

A sickly and pitch-black Dark Moon hung in the sky,

William placed one hand on its surface, releasing his Power of the Abyss through the Dark Moon as a medium.

Wham!

Giant spiral craters surfaced on the Dark Moon, an indescribable force capable of twisting the very space of the entire city was released from within.

The lake water in the park, the trees in the forest, the benches on the walkway, and the trash cans were all attracted and pulled towards it,

All of the evil women were also drawn in,

As dispersed projections of the story, they were absorbed, merging into one upon collision, until a hundred evil women had merged into a single story embodiment on the surface of the Dark Moon.

At the same time,

a shadow surged swiftly from below.

Yi Chen, paralyzed from the waist down, his killing intent not diminished but increased, a smile tearing across his face that oozed the crimson of sin,

"Haha! I knew it would be like this, William, you and your old flame do indeed work together perfectly;this Moon Flipping move is beyond my expectations, let me finish this~"

The main body of the evil woman, forcibly drawn by the Dark Moons gravity, was rigidly trapped in the vortex at the center of the Moons surface, completely immobilized and in a kneeling position.

A torrent of killing intent converged, forming a physical guillotine above the evil woman.

Yi Chens remaining left arm acted without hesitation, swiftly slashing down, and the guillotine as well plummeted...

Whoosh!

It severed not just the head,

but the entire Dark Moon was split in two,

The spread of [Evil and Story] was thoroughly erased here,

And it seemed as if the people had just added a real ending to an endless urban legend:

"Under the Dark Moon, the Human Body Collector wandering the streets encountered a mysterious Killing Maniac, who beheaded her in the street, thereby ceasing her malevolent acts."
