CHAPTER 1089: 1087: CHAOTIC COLORS

[Flipped Focus - Zero Abyss]

On the stage at the lowest level,

"High-rise - Mobius" towers with a height that can penetrate planes. However, when such a skyscraper takes root on the lowest stage, it is perfectly enveloped by the abyss.

Due to the large surface area of the skyscraper, it is constantly subjected to the full pressure exerted by the abyss.

The larger the area, the stronger the suppression.

Evidently, the entire Pathology World combined with the flip of the abyss to form the "Zero Abyss" is a means specifically employed by William to target the First Disaster.

However, the actual effect did not achieve expectations,

"Bottom of the High-rise"

Squeak~ The automatic door opens.

A sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground, a sound of tentacles or nails scraping the ground, the two sounds alternating, carrying forth a strange silhouette that slowly steps out.

The arriving presence is Ruben himself,

Even if he hasn’t completely stepped out of the "hall," the outline of his body can be vaguely seen, an outline that can unsettle all Plague Masters, an outline not belonging to the current Cosmic Domain, an outline that doesn’t adhere to any rules.

Exiting the skyscraper,

Descending the steps before the door,

Standing atop the stage prepared for him by William, for the first time publicly displaying a form with one foot stepping beyond the limits of the Cosmic Domain.

"Right half (normal)," the white robe wraps a relatively frail and burnt body, with half the face obscured by a mosaic.

"Left half (chaotic)," the entirely chaotic physique can be divided into "visible" and "imperceptible" parts.

1. "Visible": A mass of brilliant, colorful sludge, with various mutated organs and tentacle-like structures running through it.

The fingers, toes, hair, ribs, and other sharp, elongated structures are haphazardly piled below, convenient for "standing," as the other half is still human and needs to maintain a standing posture in usual times, until complete transcendence frees him from these constraints.

2. "Imperceptible": Beyond capture by existing sensory means, vision can occasionally glimpse some elusive kaleidoscopic hues within the visible light wavelength, as if a kind of color surges around the left half.

This kind of color is not fixed and exhibits a large range of fluctuation and dynamic flow.

However, there’s always a wisp of color swirling above Ruben’s head, forming a halo structure symbolizing "Transcendence."

...

The reason Ruben’s posture makes any observer uncomfortable is due to these colors, which seem to inherit Ruben’s original mosaic trait.

Any observer seeing these colors will peek thousands of chaotic images and gradually glimpse their own past from these patterns, especially memories of suffering, danger, and fear.

These memories ferment under "chaos," birthing some terrifying memories that never existed.

Invisibly, the label of chaos is affixed to the souls of all viewers.

This causes all the Plague Masters watching in the abyss to show uneasy expressions. Although they can resist through different means, complete eradication is impossible. ℞𝘼Nó𝖇Ę𝙨

In their eyes, Ruben’s level had already surpassed everything;

even if the performance was arranged perfectly, there was no chance of success.

Even the Duke, with his vast perspective, sees no winning odds and can only alleviate psychological pressure by devouring snacks.

"William, how exactly do you plan to win?"

...

On stage, Ruben stares directly at William ahead.

The direct gaze here is somewhat different,

Apart from the gaze of the right eye, numerous eyeballs emerge amidst the left half’s rotted flesh and colors, all staring intensely, exerting multiple suppressions.

"A stage specifically designed for me? Interesting, I initially didn’t intend to use this high-rise part, after all, we’re no longer on the same level.

Since you devised this abyss to restrain the skyscraper, apologies... I have to end this farce prematurely."

Ruben spreads his normal right hand upwards.

The living and chaotic skyscraper begins to tremble,

Under the blessing of the chaos attribute, the skyscraper can transform at will, with basic magnification and reduction naturally being manageable, even basic physics can be directly defied.

Crunch crunch~

The animate building keeps shrinking,

From its original height penetrating planes, it becomes toy-sized, perfectly fitting in Ruben’s palm.

Even more shocking, Ruben opens his mouth and swallows the skyscraper in one bite.

Buzz!

At the moment the skyscraper enters his stomach,

Mobius’s "Ring Seal" directly appears on Ruben’s forehead,

An indescribable, indescribable aura releases, even causing the always-calm William to step back, with cold sweat seeping through his clown makeup.

Ruben’s entirely chaotic left half astonishingly begins to express partially the attributes from the "high-rise," the surface forms a geometrical and regular pitch-black layer along with a shrunken version of dense windows, seemingly one could see Mobius employees working inside through the windows.

The "Lighthouse Mental Hospital" slowly stands erect on his shoulder, replacing the originally chaotic left face.

Light shoots from the eyes, quickly scanning all present individuals.

The imperceptible kaleidoscopic part becomes more intense under the lighthouse illumination, incredibly terrifying.

Perhaps due to the skyscraper’s integration, Ruben’s personal perception fully enhances, even penetrating this impenetrable abyss to perceive a once-threatening aura capable of cutting and appreciating all.

Suddenly turning his head, looking in one direction.

"Oh, I didn’t expect Hannibal to pull out the form that once opposed me. This suggests he is already battling Yi Chen? Impressive indeed.

However, William, your rebellion is worth me reorganizing my thoughts.

Could the events that transpired in the amusement park be seen as your performance, using this opportunity to earn Mr. Yi’s trust?

Is Mr. Yi also one of the rebels? Was he originally supposed to come here and join forces with you, William, to oppose me?"

The cold sweating William forces a smile, "Ah, you’ve figured it all out."

"It’s a pity, if Hannibal took out this form, Yi Chen is doomed. Otherwise, I was quite eager to see what you two could achieve together."

However, William seizes the opportunity, approaches closely with a sly grin, "Is NO.2 really that formidable? How about we make a bet, gambling a third of our souls.

Bet whether Mr. Yi can come to this stage, how about it?"

"Only the weak would gamble."

"Oh~ Lodge, although you’ve ascended to a higher level, you still lack confidence, is it related to your tragic persona? Hahaha~ How timid."

Faced with William’s provocation,

An unseen kaleidoscope flashes,

William’s body is directly sliced into two and begins to chaotify, digitized tentacles rapidly grow amidst the flesh, on the verge of disassembling William completely when,

A certain trigger within William is activated.

Malignant tumors frantically collide until the body swells into a gigantic balloon,

Boom!

Numerous intestine-like ribbons erupt on the stage, signifying the beginning of the performance.

Additionally, an extra-large screen rises, and the connected backstage tape starts playing, the "Smiling Black Hole" logo appears on the screen.

A bicycle-riding William appears within the scene,

Peddling awkwardly and incongruously forward, approaching the camera until his entire face is pressed against the screen.

"I want to play a Game." (I.
