Yi Chen was restricted by the "Second Disaster" and didn't know when he could rush back according to the original plan. William could only feign calmness, not daring to ask too much about this matter.

Not only did Yi Chen's side encounter problems,

but since the announcement of the Great Annihilation, William had not seen Ruben's true form, and only interacted with this incredibly realistic fake body before him.

Things didn't seem to be following his originally set plan.

"Boss! Don't we need the Manager to send us over?"

"The one skilled in spatial matters isn't just the Manager, and the transfer to the sick focus is somewhat different.

To ensure the perfection of [Transcendence], everything related to me will be transferred over. It's a major project not suited for the Manager to handle.

I've already had someone mark the plane coordinates where the sick focus lies.

The entire company has been actively preparing,

The transfer is currently underway."

"Currently…"

While in his medieval mansion, William immediately felt a sensation of spatial leap, not an individual leap but the leap of an entire space.

With a face full of surprise, he stepped to the hall window, only to find outside was no longer the seam of the plane or the landscape of the City of Evil, but an incredibly familiar cosmic plane.

A place approximately two astronomical units (A.U.) away, shaped like 'double ice cream cones' and completely shrouded in gray matter, the infected world floated there,

like a cosmic parasite rooted there, sucking the essence and energy of the current cosmic domain.

Even though it's covered by gray matter that perception cannot penetrate,

Ruben, perfectly fused with Lorrian, could feel the accompanying New Moon within it.

…

[City of Evil]

The towering "Building-Mobius" at the center completely disappeared,

the wire structure that crawled between each malicious brain, representing "control," receded at this moment, along with the "monitoring" targeting their souls.

The entire Evil Circle became more boiling, all malice stepped onto the streets, showing their most wicked side, preparing to welcome the upcoming Great Annihilation.

Driven by the [The Eighth Disaster], the city briskly moved toward the Main Material Plane.

Of course, some subtle and unnoticeable changes were happening.

The back side of the City of Evil where all members of The Eighth Disaster resided, in the depths of that long-sealed amusement park,

due to the disappearance of control from the First Disaster, the abyss symbols carved between various amusement facilities began activating due to certain biological mechanisms.

This activation would not produce any energy waves; only individuals with the abyss attribute would sense it.

Several planes away,

the black tent, long hidden between plane seams, received this sensing, the black hair floating on its surface stimulated and began to move.

[Tent Depths]

The circus's layout when previously meeting William has been broken again.

Jian was demoted from leader to deputy leader, on the same level as Mr. Rabbit, but did not reclaim the position of Chief Magician, instead served as the general commander of the poker action, all poker faces would be summoned by him.

Since the current main and deputy magicians were just fine, there was no need to replace them.

All core members gathered in the 'Abyss Hall' located in the tent's depths, which in fact existed as an underground palace when the circus was first established, being the leader's external shell.

Back then it was abandoned due to the leader's severe injuries,

nowadays, the First Abyss who restored his full state by consuming the First Generation Dumplings sits deep in the hall. On him, the malice aura emitted from within the soul due to the dumplings is still detectable.

A stench hard to endure,

even the entire circus woven by his black hair emitted a similar odor.

Yet due to such malicious aura, the circus fully embedded in the City of Evil, wouldn't be seen as foreign, completely suiting the forthcoming plan.

On the throne,

the leader's face presented as the form of black-haired abyss, all senses are the face's constantly inward flowing black depressions.

The fear voice frictioned by black hair then filtered through the abyss, spreading from inside.

"The mark sensing given by William has been received. Abyss connection is imminent, heading to the capital of malice!

If everything is fine, our target will be a special cluster.

Remember! No one may exercise "individualistic" behavior, everything proceeds according to our past performance, spreading fear in darkness, ensuring all individuals composing the cluster are sown.

The selection of the audience and the issuance of the tickets is still up to you, Catherine."

Behind the pillar in the black hall,

Catherine stepped out freshly painted in clown makeup, unlike her previous black-and-white makeup, this time she made herself up with the vivid colors unique to the main clown, exaggerated red lips exactly like William.

Since her long-shelved reunion with the circus last time, Catherine stayed behind.

The time spent following William taught her a lot and made her more familiar with [Evil], familiar with the upcoming target.

Now she has the ability to take on the main clown position.

"Yes, boss! I'm still the best fit for this job!"

Buzz!

On the open lawn of the abandoned amusement park, as the abyss vortex appeared, the black circus tent rose from within.

Humidity across the amusement park rapidly increased in a short period and spread outward, some special liquid permeated the ground to the water pipes buried underground.

During the process of The Eighth Disaster moving the world, some individuals would also experience fatigue and thirst,

When they drank the new water source flowing through the pipes, although the thirst was alleviated, fatigue slightly increased, even desiring sleep.

However, this feeling wasn't intense; less than five out of a thousand individuals felt like sleeping.

As some individuals fell asleep, in their dreams they received a kind of summons deemed awakening, creating an urge to visit the abandoned amusement park upon waking.

This thought birthed from their subconscious without any sense of disharmony, and the "cluster consciousness" of the Eighth Disaster wasn't aware of any anomaly.

Seeing the City of Evil about to leap from the lower plane and reach the [Main Material Plane], not needing so many people to collectively proceed, the whole city required slowing down.

Those who slept from the Eighth Disaster took this chance to go to the abandoned amusement park, intending to see whether the circus they dreamt of existed, hoping to verify that special summons akin to revelation.

As the first person found the circus and followed the subconscious guide to enter it, witnessing a spectacular performance never before experienced, more and more people in red outfits gathered around.

Gradually,

The empty audience seats were filled by the members of The Eighth Disaster representing [the reverse], enjoying the ultimate visual experience along with seamless external service.

The sick focus falling short under the Plague Master was entirely controlled (brains wrapped in wire).
