Yi Chen, upon noticing William’s peculiar condition, ceased to disturb him.

He even deliberately increased the distance between them, fully immersing himself in the act of killing. Exploiting the existing state of affairs and the blessings of the Original World, he spread his killing intent as far as he could to eliminate the wildflowers that blanketed the hills and valleys and to slay the female clones, thereby diverting the Buddha Mother’s attention.

To some extent,

he still deeply trusted William,

In Yi Chen’s eyes, William was not only an Otherworldly human formed using him as a template, but also an independent entity that inherited his merits without taking on any evil.

It was even Yi Chen’s fantasy that William was another version of himself, brought up in a normal family and well-educated,

Because of this, the trust he gave was not just for William, but also a reflection of trust in himself.

The stakes had been placed, and all that was left was to wait for the eventual outcome.

...

William, sitting cross-legged, was deep in Illusion Technique, even marked by the Buddha Mother as a ’non-threatening sacrifice’.

Without Madness Brain,

William’s thought processes had notably deteriorated, but with undivided attention, he could still conjure the perfect fantasy and replicate every detail of the wrestling ring in Rabbit Immortal Castle.

Through the physical touch brought about by the illusion,

William imagined himself standing at the center of the wrestling ring, encircled by many rabbit men, his neck, limbs, and torso all locked in place, even his chest and back pressing tightly against the muscular chests of the rabbit men.

How could he break free under such circumstances?

The rabbit men, strong and skilled in holds, made conventional tactics useless. Even if William reclaimed his Whole-shape Body, he couldn’t rely on brute strength or skill to break free from the full-body hold.

As Yi Chen had said on the mountain path, if William could not change his situation, if he couldn’t even resist at the most basic level, he might very well die at the so-called God’s hands.

Therefore, what he needed now was change, a change at the Root level.

William, with a body covered in muscle, calmed his mind,

As his only option left due to the Plague from World Crossing was the "Abyss".

Thus, there was no need to consider other factors, no need to include various complex illnesses in his thinking... The only question he had to contemplate was the Abyss.

How to make a Root level change concerning the Abyss.

He recalled the entire journey to the Tenth Abyss,

Remembering the skill ’Parasitic Abyss’ formed using Black Worm, the Starry Sky, and the Abyss, as well as the sequence of events after crossing to another world.

He pondered over the Essence of the Abyss, as the essence of Life itself.

Buzz!

A stream of electricity flashed through his brain, and William suddenly realized something.

"Wait, I’ve been wrong all along! When I sensed that my Physical could possibly connect with the Abyss, I mostly focused on the Physical, only treating the Abyss as an aid.

I’ve been thinking about how to let the Abyss assist the Physical, but I never considered how the Physical could assist the Abyss.

The Abyss comes from a Transformation of the portal of life, it was already a part of my body, only its proportion was very small, always occupying a small part of my abdomen.

Could I expand the proportion of the Abyss, even covering the entire body? Perhaps that would achieve the so-called ’Transformation’. Of course, I don’t know if my Physical body can withstand it, if I mess up, it’s likely to collapse during the Transformation.

I can’t worry about that now, without change, there’s only death.

And sure enough, I cannot let Yi Chen look down on me, right? It would be too embarrassing if I couldn’t even offer a bit of help."

With that thought,

William’s focus shifted away from his body and completely submerged into the Abyss within his abdomen,

The him, sitting in the midst of flowers, struggled to move his hands, as if numerous female forms were invisibly hindering this action,

Until, sweating profusely, he finally managed to bring his hands near his abdomen, fingers clawing at the Abyss Hole, making a climbing gesture.

William was not attempting to perform ’Parasitic Abyss’ to hide himself within.

Rather, he was undertaking a ’Flipping’ that transcended conventional understanding.

Simply put, as if reaching a hand into the collar of a shirt and flipping it from front to back,

William’s hands entering the Abyss Hole aimed to execute a ’Physical Flipping’.

However, this Flipping also involved an ’inner dimension’;

it was more than just turning inside out.

If performed through the mouth, William would spill out all his internal organs and everything inside his fasciae, which would be meaningless.

But, if performed using the Abyss Hole in his abdomen, what corresponded inside the Abyss was the Endless and pitch-black part of it, devoid of organs, blood vessels, or anything resembling flesh.

What would flip out would all be the Abyss.

Drawing on the ability of ’Parasitic Abyss’ as the basis while lubricating the Abyss, making its rock layer structure turn soft and akin to skin composition, he began the Flipping.

More and more layers of abyss rock were flipped out of the body,

while William’s own physical components were folded into his body,

During the "flipping" process, the space surrounding William began to be affected, crackling and even seemed to be collapsing inward.

Several minutes passed and the flipping was over,

William, seated amidst a burst of flowers, had already completed the so-called "transformation", and had even changed so much that many people could no longer recognize him.

He displayed a pitch-black body that existed between rock and skin, all aura no longer emanating outward but rather converging inward.

Faceless, without any external organs, only the contour of the muscles remained.

Or rather, all that was unnecessary had been folded inside, the only useful organ being the "abyss" in the abdomen.

Moreover, the abyss, spinning counterclockwise, was quickly capturing all information around by absorbing substances from the air.

"Abyssal Body"

This was the abyss disease William had come to understand and boldly experiment with, a more comprehensive, physical unity of ultimate expression.

When raindrops fell on his body, they could no longer penetrate effectively,

The illusion technique was dispelled,

William’s thoughts, too, escaped from the club scene, having defeated all the imagined bunny men.

The information captured by the abyss rapidly formed images in his mind, providing a more intuitive and thorough three-dimensional view.

The flowers and plants that stretched across the hills were, in his eyes, incarnations of the Buddha Mother,

connected to each other through roots and a large body of seawater,

Among them was a distinct, glowing white droplet moving rapidly between these incarnations, radiating strong divinity.

In addition, within the vision provided by the abyss,

Yi Chen, standing on the hillside, seemed like a killing maniac, his body flowing with an extreme, pus-like killing intent,

Facing a false god unflinchingly but, unfortunately, because the rainwater shifted too quickly, it always evaded Yi Chen’s slashing at the critical moment... This continued drain would ultimately lead to defeat due to physical exhaustion.

At this moment, a Buddha-nature emitting pistol appeared in William’s hand,

without firing,

because William could discern that such Buddha-nature bullets were still far from enough to kill the true form of the Evil God.

In his abyssal state, William chose to place his finger on the muzzle and "flip" the object.

What was once a firmly constructed special metal firearm became in William’s hands as easy to flip inside out as mere skin, or more accurately, underwent assimilation by the abyss.

A black pistol covered in rocky layer structures was created.

The dark muzzle was also rotating counterclockwise, as if even the basic way of shooting had transformed.

Lifting his hand to aim,

Locking onto the fast-moving white droplet beneath the ground,

Once the precision of the dynamic target reached 100%, he pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A gunshot sound was heard, but no bullet flew from the muzzle.

Yet something strange happened,

At the location targeted by the muzzle, including flowers, soil, and underground water, all began to converge toward the gun, eventually forming a bullet right in front of it.

This bullet encapsulated that very droplet of glowing rain.

Pop!

William pinched this bullet, comprised of gathered flowers, soil, and water, between two fingers and gave it a firm squeeze!

The structure collapsed, and the droplet shattered.

A high-frequency and intense scream tore through the desolate mountain, ripping open the clouds, and even stirring up waves throughout the flower fields miles away.

At that moment, Yellow Skin no longer clung to Yi Chen, detaching voluntarily.

It swiftly returned to William’s body, transforming into the iconic white shirt, gray waistcoat, and black suit, deliberately creating holes in the clothing around the abdomen to perfectly match the current abyssal body.

Yi Chen also turned back in astonishment, and when he saw William’s figure, drool flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"William! You are simply amazing!"
