The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

Chi Zhengyang's office.

now.

Chi Zhengyang's entire attention was focused on that huge screen.

With his God-like perspective, he noticed the bizarre scene directly.

As Zhang Heng enters the Wasteland Era, the Bone King remains unchanged in the scene.

However, the skeletal giant behind Ainz Ooal Gown suddenly seemed to lose his senses.

Then, like a lost child, it looked around helplessly.

That loneliness and fear, originating from the depths of the soul, was clearly conveyed even through a screen.

*Thud!*

A soft sound.

The pen that Chi Zhengyang was holding tightly fell onto the table, then dropped and was left to fall to the ground.

He seemed to have all his strength drained away, and leaned heavily against the back of the chair.

A crack finally appeared on that calm and collected face, and it was rapidly widening.

Wrong...

Everything was wrong...

It was wrong from the very beginning...

Zhang Heng... is not Ainz Ooal Gown.

He was never the enigmatic master of the Endless Bone Domain!

Zhang Heng may never have changed; Zhang Heng has always just been Zhang Heng.

That introverted, withdrawn, and even somewhat insecure nineteen-year-old boy.

I should have noticed this much earlier.

Vast differences in personality cannot be easily erased by time and environment!

A person's essence cannot be changed so thoroughly!

Perhaps it was because he coveted Ainz Ooal Gown's power.

So much so that those tiny details were overlooked.

So when the truth was revealed, everything seemed so ridiculous.

Zhang Heng may never have changed from beginning to end.

However, due to preconceived notions based on Ainz's words, everyone... was fooled by Ainz...

"Lao Chi?"

Beside him, Captain Li's voice carried a hint of worry.

However, it was only a matter of two or three breaths, and before Captain Li could even get close.

Chi Zhengyang's body jolted violently, and his scattered consciousness instantly re-condensed.

He suddenly looked up and met Captain Li's gaze.

In those bloodshot eyes, regret and distress flashed by, replaced by an unprecedented resolve and determination.

"Now!"

Chi Zhengyang's voice was hoarse, yet it carried an undeniable command.

"You are now entering 'Wasteland Era'!"

The plan has completely failed.

However, Zhang Heng's successful replacement of Ainz Ooal Gown's trusted confidant is still something that can be exploited!

Furthermore, does the "Zhang Heng" who has the privileges of a shop assistant also possess the ability to resurrect infinitely?

If so, there might still be a chance to give it a shot.

Thinking of this, Chi Zhengyang's expression turned serious: "You must act according to the situation, join forces with Zhang Heng, and spare no effort, no matter what happens, to protect Lin Mo!!!"

"yes!"

This single word is powerful and resonant.

Captain Li no longer hesitated and immediately turned the bronze ring on his hand.

......

Within the Wasteland Era.

Captain Li appeared in front of the grocery store.

However, as soon as it appeared, its legs were broken by a terrifying pressure.

Then he lay prostrate on the ground.

Captain Li clenched his fists, given his current condition.

Forget about helping others; even getting close to the center of the battlefield alive would be a problem...

The center of the battlefield.

A silence, almost tangible, enveloped everyone.

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Five breaths.

Nothing happened.

Lin Mo's plan to kill the Bone King together was like a clumsy joke.

The azure soul flame in the Bone King's eye sockets, initially wary, slowly turned into a hint of doubt.

the other side.

Empress Weaver's gaze also fell upon Lin Mo's figure.

To be honest, she had high expectations for Lin Mo.

She had high hopes for someone who had used more than ten kinds of authority in a short period of time.

But no matter how good things were before, the result is what it is: nothing happened.

She went from initial anticipation to cold skepticism.

Been tricked?

This human ant, has been using himself from beginning to end?

He didn't have any trump cards at all; he just wanted to use his own hands to restrain Ainz Ooal Gown and create a chance for himself.

Once this thought arises, it can never be stopped!

Lin Mo pretended to be calm at the moment, but his heart was in turmoil.

If Zhang Heng's plan to replace the Bone King fails, will the Fate Weaver Queen simply turn around and leave?

If the Fate Weaver Queen leaves with her people, how will he face the Bone King's army?

Or, if the Weaver Queen feels she has been tricked, she will not hesitate to take action against herself, eliminating this outcast first.

Although the reason is unknown, what is certain now is...

The plan went wrong...

Something unexpected must have happened on Chi Zhengyang's side.

This caused Zhang Heng's plan to replace the Bone King to completely fail!

Moreover, the Weaver of Fate's patience had run out, and that overwhelming spiritual pressure was beginning to lock onto her.

Once she realizes she's been tricked, she will definitely take action without hesitation!

One Bone King was already enough to kill him ten times over, and now there's the enraged Fate Weaver Queen...

The scene was too beautiful for him to imagine.

escape!

We must run immediately!

Just as the Weaver of Fate's murderous intent locked onto Lin Mo.

Lin Mo made a grasping motion, and the spatial authority was activated with a roar!

Without the slightest hesitation, without a single wasted word!

His figure became illusory in an instant, and then disappeared completely.

Extremely fast!

It was as if he had never been there.

By the time the Weaver Queen's gaze was fully fixed on Lin Mo, Lin Mo had already vanished.

The entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence once again.

Ainz Ooal Gown: "..."

Empress Weaver of Fate: "..."

All lords: "..."

Two full breaths passed.

A roar a hundred times more terrifying than before, filled with endless humiliation and rage, suddenly swept across the entire battlefield!

"Damn scum!! How dare you play me for a fool!!!"

boom--!!!

The terrifying mental pressure caused the entire battlefield to tremble.

Countless scarlet spider silks, like a flood bursting its banks, surged wildly from her body!

She was completely enraged!

As a king-level being, he was actually made a fool of by a weak human!

This is an absolute disgrace!

The soul fire in the Bone King's eye sockets flickered violently.

He raised his hand to protect the people around him.

Although we don't know exactly what happened, the result is obvious.

That cunning human boy successfully provoked the Queen of Fate's wrath, and then ran away.

Seeing this crazy woman in front of him go mad, Ainz couldn't help but laugh.

She's finally gotten what she deserved!

Hahaha! ! !

But despite the laughter, he couldn't ignore it.

That kid deserves to die, but he can only die by his own hand!

If that kid really falls into the hands of the Weaver of Fate, all his previous plans will have come to naught.

Just as Ainz was about to make his move, he saw a figure suddenly pass by him.

Then it scurried towards the ant lying sprawled on the ground in the distance.

At this moment, Pan Gu's face was full of anxiety.

The person most important to him was now covered in blood, lying paralyzed on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

As for the mission, screw the mission!

My emotions at this moment are completely filled with worry and anger.

Looking at the somewhat bewildered Pan Gu.

In an instant, the smile on Ainz Ooal Gown's face vanished, replaced entirely by shock.

He stared intently at the familiar yet unfamiliar back view before him.

"Brother...brother..."

"You...really...really came back..."
