Chapter 189 The Essence of the Sky Pattern - Devouring

Euphemia's idea of ​​attacking the White Sky's most vulnerable eye was undeniably clever.

But all of this depends on the fact that her attack actually hits Shirakura's eyes!
The sharp tips of Euphemia's silver-white spider legs stopped abruptly when they were about half an inch from Bai Kong's eyes.

Looking at Euphemia's incredulous expression, Bai Kong suddenly kicked her in the knee.

"Uh!"

With a muffled groan, Euphemia, like a lowly, fallen maid, knelt uncontrollably before Bai Kong.

But the matter did not end there. Bai Kong suddenly leaned down, grabbed her long silver hair from the back of her head roughly, and yanked it hard!
In excruciating pain, Euphemia was forced to tilt her long neck back and look up at the white sky in front of her.

Looking at her terrified and unwilling face, Bai Kong's eyes were filled with the pleasure of toying with his prey.

"Since you've come out here so rarely, I might as well tell you something that even that good-for-nothing Chen Kong doesn't know."

"That good-for-nothing always thought that the essence of the Void Mark was 'assimilation' and 'concealment'."

"But these two things are merely the innate instincts of predators, because..."

Bai Kong slowly leaned down and buried his head in Euphemia's ear.

Warm breath fell on Euphemia's small earlobe, causing her to tremble involuntarily.

Then, abandoning his previous wickedness and madness, he suddenly spoke in an incredibly gentle tone: "...The true essence of the Void Mark is 'devouring'!"

As the last word fell, Bai Kong suddenly lowered his head and bit down on her delicate collarbone.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The agony of her soul and body being torn apart caused Euphemia to let out her most agonizing scream.

Her body trembled violently, arching into a shrimp-like shape.

His pupils rolled back instantly amidst a series of piercing screams.

The star energy blood, symbolizing power, was greedily 'devoured' by Bai Kong like a tidal wave.

As a result, the star core within her body also visibly withered and dimmed.

Before long, Euphemia felt her consciousness completely plunge into a chaotic space.

A gigantic, indescribable creature made entirely of white bones came into view.

The monster was so enormous that the surrounding 'planet' looked like a delicious 'food' in comparison.

A strong survival instinct compelled Euphemia to muster her last bit of strength.

Silvery spider silk shot out from between her fingers, wrapping around Bai Kong's body again, trying to drag away the 'monster' biting her shoulder.

But then a desperate scene unfolded.

The tough spider silk was instantly broken down into the purest star energy particles the moment it touched Bai Kong's skin, which was covered with 'Void Pattern - Return to Dust'.

Originally, Chen Kong could only activate 'Return to Dust' using his right hand.

In Bai Kong's hands, it had become a passive ability that could cover the entire body.

Judging from his appearance, the effect of his 'Return to Dust' is far superior to that of Dust Emptiness.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Kong, having finally eaten and drunk his fill, released Euphemia from his grasp.

Without support, she immediately collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.

Her once bright purple eyes lost all focus, leaving only the whites of her eyes showing, and her body convulsed uncontrollably.

Bai Kong looked at the bloody teeth marks on Euphemia's collarbone and wiped his mouth with satisfaction.

"The taste is so-so, but it's barely acceptable as an emergency food."

Having said that, Bai Kong walked out of the passage without hesitation, leaving Euphemia alone lying on the cold ground, staring blankly at the ceiling above her head, her eyes devoid of any remaining life. Shortly after Bai Kong left, the anime suddenly switched to the open wall next to Euphemia.

The view behind the wall was suffocating.

The densely packed, tiny white bones were piled up like a mountain, with bone ages ranging from eight to twelve years old.

Moreover, each skeleton here has clear cut marks, indicating that they had undergone some kind of inhuman torture before death.

Upon seeing this scene, the comments section of the viewers exploded, as many people recalled the "orphanage list" that "Shuimo" had shown Vivian not long ago.

That was the adoption list of the orphanage under the Gear Church, and the one with the most adoptions was Euphemia, who was lying on the ground at the moment.

In the list provided by 'Shuimo', all the orphans disappeared after being adopted by Euphemia.

Only Yu Chen, the lucky one, survived with William's help.

They had previously considered what fate awaited the orphans adopted by Euphemia.

But they underestimated Euphemia's vicious heart hidden beneath her beautiful exterior.

Because she clearly didn't just adopt 'children' from one orphanage.

That mountain of bones was something that could not be reached by just a few dozen people!
This woman may have the appearance of an angel, but her heart is more wicked than that of a devil.

In contrast, Shiro Sora, whose "badness" is clearly written on his face, actually seems rather handsome to the anime/manga audience.

After informing the viewers of Euphemia's past 'misdeeds', the anime cut back to Shirahoshi.

He walked with his head down in the dimly lit underground passage, stroking his chin and muttering to himself, "That guy Tiandao really knows how to boss people around. He wants me to deal with that little spider and then return my body to Chen Kong? What a joke!"

"Who am I? I am the noble 'Qiong'!"

"Let alone a mere memory projection materialized by a figment of imagination, even if the real Heavenly Dao Master came before me, I wouldn't even give him a second glance!"

At this point, Bai Kong suddenly stopped, turned around and tilted his head towards a smooth, mirror-like glass surface, admiring his own reflection with a wicked smile.

"Miracle Stone - Empty That wicked woman thought that by sealing me inside her, I would never be able to get out."

"Little did she know my 'greed'! How could she possibly seal it with just a small stone!"

"Look, what a perfect container!"

"A perfect body that combines the Miracle Stone and my supreme power—as long as I reclaim the other half of the power within that red-eyed girl, I'll lack nothing!"

"At that time, I won't care about any of your Heavenly Principles or Eight Trigrams; I'll take them all."

Just as Bai Kong was feeling smug about his broken promise, his expression suddenly twisted and his laughter abruptly stopped.

The next second, he stared wide-eyed in horror at his wildly trembling left hand.

And residing in this arm is the star source power of Chen Kong, known as 'Dreamer'.

"Impossible! How is this possible!"

"Why, why is a memory projection actually..."

Amidst the laughter of the audience, Bai Kong, who was laughing loudly just a second ago, suddenly collapsed with a 'plop' into the flooded underground passage.

After an unknown amount of time, 'Bai Kong' finally climbed out of the water again.

But when he raised his head, the arrogant and wicked look in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a pure blankness.

Seeing Chen Kong's bewildered and innocent expression, the viewers instantly understood.

The one who has awakened is not the evil Lao Bai, but the kind protagonist they know and love—Lao Kong!
