Chapter 1003: White Silver Returns

"...Experiment Log, Number 35996.We collected the Aurora Lord's electrocardiogram data over 24 hours to conduct...Experiment failed....Experiment Log, Number 35997..."

As Tan Xin's emotionless voice spoke, Red Sleeve seemed to see again the figures bustling in the lab. They met under the aurora, worked together beneath the frozen earth, and kissed amidst explosions... Everything they had experienced together flashed before Red Sleeve's eyes like a film.

After a brief silence, a gentle, affectionate voice whispered in Red Sleeve's ear.

"Red Sleeve, I love you."

Drops of tears blurred the ruins, and Red Sleeve's entire body trembled uncontrollably. An indescribable mix of sorrow and emotion overwhelmed her, shattering the heart of this Asura leader. Red Sleeve clutched the pendant tightly in both hands, as if wanting to embrace it, or perhaps to bury it deep within her heart. She had found him again.

"I love you too... Tan Xin."

Meanwhile, Fang Liangye looked into Chen Ling's eyes, opened his mouth, and finally spoke: "We've found it... but the situation is a bit complicated. Before the Silver King returns, let's talk as we go."

"...Alright."

Fang Liangye was right. No one knew when the Silver King would return; the most important thing now was to leave the Infinity Domain!

"Red Sleeve, we should go," Chen Ling's serious voice said from nearby.

Red Sleeve clutched the half-severed tongue, temporarily hanging it back around her neck, and nodded slightly to Chen Ling and the others: "Yes, follow me closely... I'll lead you out."

With no demigod presiding over the Infinity Domain and the church in utter chaos thanks to Chen Ling, hardly anyone noticed the group seizing the opportunity to escape. Red Sleeve led the way, Chen Ling and Fang Liangye followed, with the three other senior members bringing up the rear, heading straight for the edge of the Infinity Domain!

"The Silver Government is finished!"

Inside the factory complex, Cao Jun and others leaped with excitement as they watched the distant church collapse with a roar. After the chaos erupted, all factories in the Infinity Domain shut down. Workers frantically rushed out of their plants, their eyes lighting up with joy as they watched the explosions in the distance, like fireworks. They had waited for this day for far too long. The daily grind of exhaustion and despair had pushed them to the brink of mental collapse. Now, seeing the Silver Government's stronghold blown apart, a glimmer of hope simultaneously rose in everyone's hearts... like the dawn breaking after a long night.

"Quick, start the Domain Train! We'll all leave this place together!"

"Starting the Domain Train is useless, though. The tracks connecting the Infinity Domain to the outside have been cut; we can't get out..."

"But with the Infinity Domain in such disarray, other domains will surely seize the chance to rescue us!"

"Long live the Poker Cards!! Long live the Twilight Society!!!"

Just as everyone was immersed in joy, Wu Duo, who was gazing at the church, suddenly stiffened as if she had discovered something.

"That's..."

The church gradually receded behind Chen Ling. Gradually, the explosions and roars seemed to vanish. As they glided over empty buildings, the edge of the domain grew closer and closer before their eyes.

"The Infinity Domain is nothing special after all!" Jian Changsheng snorted with a laugh.

"It's a shame Plum Blossom recovered his memories so quickly, otherwise I would have had to personally dismantle that church!" Sun Buming gritted his teeth, evidently recalling something that angered him.

Jiang Xiaohua spoke sullenly, seemingly displeased: "You're blaming me for that too..."

Chen Ling, moving with cloud-like steps, was about to say something to Fang Liangye when his brows suddenly furrowed tightly...

"Something's wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Haven't you noticed? The chaotic battle at the church... it's over."

The group froze, then simultaneously looked back. The distant church was completely silent; not only the fighting but even the thick smoke from the explosions had vanished without a trace...

"Only two or three minutes have passed since we released the prisoners. No matter how strong the Fire Manipulators and Agents are, they shouldn't be able to deal with dozens of prisoners in an instant."

"Could the Aurora Lord have intervened?"

"Did any of you sense the Aurora Lord's presence?"

"Are you saying..."

Everyone's faces immediately turned grim.

Almost simultaneously, an unprecedentedly powerful oppressive force erupted from the void, like a mountain range pressing down on the sky. Chen Ling and the others were suddenly slammed to the ground, raising clouds of dust... It was undoubtedly a demigod's suppressive aura. Under this pressure, Chen Ling and the others found it incredibly difficult to even move. They stumbled, trying to get back on their feet, their bloodshot eyes fixed on the end of the street...

A figure in an English white shirt and a black overcoat walked unhurriedly from a distance. Upon seeing that figure, everyone's hearts immediately plunged into an icy abyss!

"...Truly splendid." The Silver King clapped softly, a hint of suppressed anger in his eyes. He slowly scanned the people before him, his voice like it emanated from the underworld, "The dungeon in turmoil, the church destroyed, even Crimson Copper is dead... I was only gone for two days, and you've managed to achieve this much... You are truly formidable."

Heads rolled behind him, one by one, warm blood staining the street like a crimson carpet... Chen Ling recognized the faces immediately; they were the prisoners he had released from the dungeon. In such a short time, the Silver King had suppressed the church riot and killed all the prisoners??

It was clear the Silver King was truly enraged this time. He, who always prioritized elegance, now allowed his fury to show on his face, making no attempt to hide his murderous intent towards Chen Ling and the others... But it was understandable; Chen Ling's actions had nearly annihilated the Fire Manipulators' stronghold. Had the Silver King not returned in time, the losses would have been incalculable.

The grand red opera robe was held firmly by the demigod's suppressive aura, and a familiar sense of despair surged through Chen Ling's heart again... Not long ago, the four of them had been toyed with by the Silver King in the same manner, their memories scrambled, their minds fractured. But this time, the Silver King's methods would not be so 'gentle'... This time, he truly intended to kill!

Just as Chen Ling and the others were suffocating under the Silver King's pressure, a figure slowly rose before them... The moment she stood, a surge of killing intent shattered the demigod's suppressive aura for several miles around. Chen Ling and the others felt their bodies lighten, as if the very sky pressing down on them had been forcefully lifted by her shoulders. Her black enforcement officer's trench coat billowed in the strong wind, eight silver patterns on its hem shimmering. The black killing intent, almost condensed into a tangible substance, rose like a divine pillar reaching the heavens!!

The moment he sensed this aura, the Silver King's expression hardened, and his forward stride halted mid-air...

Red Sleeve lowered her head, her deep red hair dancing like flames in the wind. One hand clutched the pendant at her chest, her eyes, filled with murderous intent, gazed coldly at the Silver King.

"Last time, you ambushed me and almost made me lose the most important thing..." Red Sleeve spoke calmly. "This time, I'll personally measure... how much weight a thief-turned-god truly carries."
