Zongman: The post-2D era

As the colorful light flowed, the "Two-Dimensional Sword" in his hand seemed to sense the call of this power and began to vibrate violently. The originally soft light on its surface was gradually swallowed up by the colorful light, and finally merged with it, blooming with unprecedented dazzling brilliance.

Feng Feng took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination.

He slowly lifted up the "Two-Dimensional Sword" wrapped in this ball of light, as if he was lifting up the hope and miracle of the whole world.

Under the gaze of everyone, he gently put the mysterious colored card into his trouser pocket, patted it and said, "Thank you for saving me."

At that moment, it seemed as if even his pockets were shining, and the space around him was slightly distorted. An indescribable energy wave spread out in all directions with him as the center, making the atmosphere of the entire penthouse even more mysterious.

Zhenjian's gaze was like the deep night sky, locked tightly on Fengfeng. The strange smile at the corner of his mouth gradually expanded, as if it could swallow up all light and truth.

"Feng Feng, the power you hold is enough to make the gods tremble. It is not just power, but more like the hand of God, a stroke that can rewrite fate."

"That's over."

"But your power is mine."

After she finished speaking, she gently raised her hand, and her fingertips traced out invisible tracks in the air. Those tracks twisted like living things, interweaving into an intricate web that enveloped the entire space.

"Lies can instantly overturn cause and effect and change reality."

As Zhenjian murmured, a strange wave began to spread in the air, as if even the light had distorted its direction.

Her voice became distant and profound, and every word sounded like an ancient spell, containing the power to change reality: "Here, I use lies as ink and fantasy as paper to weave the most realistic dream. Let all the impossible become the scene before my eyes."

When Feng Feng heard this, a gentle smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes flashed with understanding and laughter.

He tiptoed towards Bonnie, with a barely perceptible caution in his steps, for fear of disturbing this delicate and complex atmosphere.

Seeing this, a trace of worry and reproach flashed in Bonnie's clear eyes. She quickly placed her index finger in front of her lips and made a "hush" gesture, her eyes full of concern and reminder for Feng Feng.

"Shh..." She whispered softly, her voice like the spring breeze blowing through tender leaves, gentle but firm, "Here, every word you say may become the key to changing reality, especially in front of Master Zhenjian, so you must be more careful with your words."

There was a barely perceptible awe in Bonnie's words. She gently tugged at Feng Feng's sleeve, motioning him to come closer to her. At this moment, the two of them seemed to have become partners facing unknown challenges together.

Feng Feng turned around with an unquestionable determination. His eyes were like a sharp sword, piercing straight at Zhenjian, who seemed weak but was in control of everything on the sofa.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and even time seemed to stop. He spoke slowly, and every word was clear and powerful, echoing in the empty penthouse:

"Zhenjian, I know your power, which can weave lies into reality, but please listen to me - as long as I am willing, your ability will no longer have any effect on me."

After saying that, brilliant colorful light surged around Feng Feng again, this time even more intensely, almost illuminating the entire space and completely suppressing Zhenjian's soft yet deep light.

His eyes flashed with unprecedented confidence and determination, as if at this moment, he really became the hand of God that could rewrite destiny.

Zhenjian's face changed slightly, and a hint of surprise and confusion flashed in his deep eyes, and then he regained his calm, with a more complicated smile at the corner of his mouth, as if waiting for some unknown turn.

Zhenjian opened his red lips slightly, his voice adding a hint of playfulness and provocation: "Fengfeng, your so-called power is nothing more than an unopened bud in my garden of lies. I gave it the soil to grow. How can you resist your own roots?"

After she finished speaking, she spun her fingertips lightly, and ripples appeared in the air, as if the entire space was responding to her will, trying to turn Feng Feng's words into nothingness.

"Lies can instantly overturn cause and effect, change reality, and lower dimensions."

However, Feng Feng remained unmoved. He straightened his back, and the light around him became even brighter, like the scorching sun in the sky, penetrating all illusions.

He slowly stretched out his hand, palm facing up, and the light gathered in his palm, turning into a bright beam of light that went straight to Zhenjian.

In the beam of light, there seemed to be thousands of stars circulating, each carrying the power of indomitable spirit and truth.

Feng Feng was just about to activate the beam of light that gathered the power of the stars, when suddenly, Bonnie's slender fingers tightly clasped his arm. The force was light but firm, as if it could convey an unquestionable firm belief.

Her gaze moved between Feng Feng and Zhen Jian, finally settling on Zhen Jian, with a hint of inviolable determination flashing in her eyes.

At the same time, the silent Sakuragi stood up. His figure appeared particularly steady in the interweaving of light and shadow. His voice was deep and powerful, like the sound of an ancient bell, echoing throughout the space:

"Zhenjian, please stop. Thank you for your help today, but I didn't call you together to let our companions fight to the death."

Chapter 782: The Creator's Divine Pillar

Saturday, August 17

Among the pedestrians on the street, Feng Feng and his three companions were strolling around casually like men and women on a summer vacation.

Sakuraman Shu is still preaching to Chikushiin Shinkansen.

"This is not only about the contest of power and lies, but also about the trust and respect between us. If you insist on doing this, I am afraid that innocent people will be hurt, and the balance of this space will be in jeopardy."

After saying that, he slowly took a few steps forward and stood side by side with Bonnie. The two of them formed an irresistible barrier, guarding the tranquility that was about to be torn apart by power.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, an unknown energy wave quietly spread, the space began to distort, and everyone was shocked.

In the center of the city, Meteora and some police officers in black and researchers in white stared at the central square with pale faces.

In the center of the cave that was broken open in the central square, a white laser beam broke through the autumn of the city and pierced a donut-like hole in the white clouds in the sky.

As Sakuman Shu's words echoed in the air, the sudden energy fluctuation became stronger and stronger, as if even the air was vibrating.

The four Fengfeng people - Sakuraman Shu, Chikushiin Shinkansen, Bonnie and their gathered companions, all looked up at the beam of light at the same time, with complex emotions flashing in their eyes: fear of the unknown and a desire to uncover the truth.

They exchanged a firm look with each other, without saying anything, their tacit understanding was already deep.

Afterwards, the four of them rose up suddenly as if being pulled by an invisible thread, and transformed into four streams of light, shuttling through the bustling streets.

The crowd quickly retreated around them, as if time had fast-forwarded for their actions.

Feng Feng and his three companions arrived at the center of the city in an instant, and the air became stagnant because of their arrival.

Sakuraman Shu and Chikushiin Shinkansen stood on both sides of Bonnie, one on the left and one on the right. The figures of the three of them stretched out in the setting sun, forming a series of wary shadows.

Their eyes were as sharp as torches, piercing through the hustle and bustle of the surrounding crowd and fixed directly on Meteora and the surrounding police officers and researchers who looked nervous.

Seeing this, Meteora frowned and clenched her hands into fists unconsciously. She tried to ease the atmosphere with a calm voice:

"Everyone, please listen to me. This sudden change is not what we want. What we need is cooperation, not confrontation."

However, her voice seemed insignificant in the tense atmosphere.

Feng Feng walked steadily through the solidified air and went straight to Meteora.

The afterglow of the autumn sun outlined a golden outline on his tall figure, and his eyes contained both questioning and exploration.

He stretched out his hand, his fingertips almost touching Meteora's nervous and trembling clothes and fingers, but he retracted his hand when thinking about what he had seen and heard in the two-dimensional world.

Then he suddenly pointed at the beam of light that pierced the sky and tore the sky apart, and his voice was deep and powerful:

"Tell me, what exactly is that? How did you create such a shocking scene? Is the secret hidden behind it the answer we have been pursuing?"

Meteora looked up and met Feng Feng's eyes that seemed to see through everything. Her lips trembled slightly, and finally she took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice steady:

"That... that was the product of our latest recognition experiment going out of control. The original intention was to explore the future of recognition, but unexpectedly it caused such a disaster. We... we are also working hard to find a solution."

There was a hint of helplessness and self-blame in her words. The surrounding police officers and researchers also cast complicated glances at her. The whole scene seemed to be shrouded in a thick haze.

Bonnie's voice was like a sudden thunder, exploding in the frozen air: "She's lying! What's hidden in that beam of light is definitely not some out-of-control experiment of recognition power!"

Her eyes burned with anger, her body trembled slightly with rage, and her fingers almost poked Meteora's nose.

"I can feel the presence of Sugijima in there. They burned that island to the ground."

Ying Manshu's eyes suddenly became cold. He slowly took a step forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Bonnie, and said firmly:

"In the face of the truth, we have no way out. Today, we can either stand together to expose the government's lies or become mortal enemies."

Chikushiin Shinken glanced at the police officers and researchers who were gradually gathering around him with a playful look, a sly smile on his face.

She opened her red lips slightly, and there was a hint of magic in her voice: "Oh, it seems that our friends are not very willing to share secrets. Then, let these little toys play with us."

As she spoke, she flicked her fingertips, and a few thin rays of light silently wrapped around the ankles of several police officers. Before they noticed anything unusual, they were pulled by an inexplicable force, and their movements became funny and clumsy, causing people around them to snicker.

When Feng Feng heard this, his brows furrowed with deeper doubt. He stared at Meteora's face, which was pale with fear, as if trying to catch every tiny syllable from her trembling lips.

Meteora's eyes were empty, and he kept muttering: "The divine pillar... the great collapse... the dimensionality reduction..."

Every word was like a heavy stone, hitting the heart of everyone present.

The afterglow of the autumn sun was obscured by sudden dark clouds, the sky suddenly darkened, and the city center seemed to be shrouded in an ominous shadow.

Meteora's voice echoed in the empty streets, with a hint of desperate wailing. Her trembling fingers pointed at the beam of light, and a complex light flashed in her eyes, with both fear of the unknown and regret for past decisions.

"We... opened a door that shouldn't have been opened... That was the embodiment of the power of restoration: the sacred pillar."

She whispered, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, accompanied by a gust of cold wind that made people shudder.

Feng Feng followed Meteora's trembling fingers, his eyes passing through layers of haze and landing on the laser beam that was originally small but has now expanded to the size of a building.

Inside the light column, as if it was the entrance to another world, a breathtaking picture slowly unfolded.

The scenery in the two-dimensional world is like a painting frozen in time, slowly rotating and revealing everything - it is an endless interweaving of black and white, everything has lost its color, leaving only two-dimensional outlines and delicate textures.

The stars, mountains, and even the void abyss of the universe are all compressed into flat art at this moment, which is both beautiful and terrifying.

In the interweaving of light and shadow, there seems to be a whisper echoing, is it a call from ancient times or a warning from the future?

Feng Feng felt an unprecedented shock in his heart. The scene exceeded the limit of his cognition and made him hold his breath involuntarily, for fear of disturbing the tranquility and madness from another dimension.

Feng Feng trembled violently, and the roar in his ears gradually became clearer. It was no longer the noisy voices around him, but the ancient whispers coming from the depths of the light column, like the murmurs at the beginning of the universe, and like the elegy of Ragnarok.

He closed his eyes, trying to capture those broken and mysterious syllables. Every word was as heavy as a thousand pounds, striking deep into his soul.

"The sacred pillar...leading to the sun..." A magnificent picture emerged in his mind:

A giant pillar that reaches the sky and penetrates the earth rises from the ground and reaches the sky until it touches the scorching sun. It shines brightly, but also carries a breath of destruction.

The scene was so grand that Feng Feng felt as if he was sucked into a huge vortex, with everything around him spinning and twisting.

Feng Feng's body glowed with colorful light, and he heard the sound of the light column clearly. The prophecy echoed in his ears:

The sacred pillar leads to the sun, the great collapse drops golden flames, the creator lowers the dimension, and then, I am the only one in the world

Chapter 783: The Creator's Dial

Sunday, August 18

Tents were set up next to the Imperial Pillar, and researchers in white and police officers in black were constantly moving between the dozen tents.

In the tent at the center, Feng Feng's consciousness seemed to be torn apart by the power gushing out of the light column, and scenes like prophecy flashed before his eyes -

A fiery crack appeared in the sky, and golden flames poured down like a waterfall. Wherever it passed, everything melted and turned into nothingness.

The city trembled in the flames, tall buildings collapsed into ashes, and the crowd screamed in despair, but could only be swallowed by the irresistible force.

He felt an unprecedented loneliness and despair, as if the whole world collapsed at this moment, and he was the only one standing in the center of this destruction, surrounded by endless darkness and silence.

Suddenly, he saw Meteora, her figure looming in the firelight, and there was no longer fear in her eyes, but determination and sacrifice.
