Noah quietly looked at him for a moment.
Although confused, she nodded.
“Alright, everyone is here. Don’t push yourself too hard. Just tell us what to do.”
Naya smiled and nodded.
Only when he was sure that Noah could no longer see his expression did he finally break down.
He clenched his teeth tightly, cold sweat dripping down his temples.
With his last bit of strength, he lifted his head to glance at Noah and murmured in a voice no one could hear.
‘Do I really have to do this…?’
A moment later, another voice echoed in Naya’s mind.
It sounded extremely impatient and spoke in a scolding tone.
「Do you even know what you’re saying…?」
“But… she’s my wife…”
Naya struggled, desperately hoping for a miracle.
But he knew he was only wasting his time.
「You hesitated.」the voice stated coldly. 「Useless trash… you actually developed feelings for the script… You’re the worst piece of trash I’ve ever seen.」
“No… I didn’t…”
「Enough.」The voice let out a cold laugh. 「A waste like you doesn’t even have the ability to complete the mission. Naya 04136, you can disappear.」
—No! Wait—!
No one could hear that sentence anymore.
Naya slowly closed his eyes.
He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, then grinned lightly.
Naya was still Naya, but he was no longer that Naya.
Thorn pieced together the fragmented remains of Aurora, preparing to extract the power of Chaos.
Yoge directed Ska and Xin to set up a magic array around them, waiting for Noah to channel energy into it using the Tarot cards.
The light of the magic array rose.
The frenzied energy shredded Aurora’s remains, recombined them, and gradually condensed them into a mass of Divine Power of Chaos.
Yoge reached out, caught it, and directly placed it into the space rift beside him.
With that, all the mediums were ready.
The teleportation array could be activated at any moment.
“Oh, looks like everything is ready.”
Naya walked over from the side.
He glanced at the space rift beside Yoge and nodded with satisfaction.
“Good. All preparations are complete. Let’s set off immediately.”
Noah looked at him in surprise.
“Huh…? Are you alright now?”
Naya smiled.
“What could be wrong with me? I’m absolutely fine—better than ever.”
Noah frowned in confusion.
Before she could speak, Xin raised a hand from the side and asked,
“Didn’t you say we were going to activate the teleportation array? Where is it? I don’t see it.”
Naya shook his head.
“Of course you can’t see it from here. The teleportation array has always been at the Main Gate.”
The Main Gate?!
Noah and Xin exchanged surprised glances.
They had both come from the Main Gate area and had never seen any teleportation array.
But Naya seemed to read their confusion and explained.
“Ladies, don’t be impatient. I had Shabu lurking in Area A not just to eliminate the Sin Organization. She’s already drawn the entire teleportation array in secret. Previously, there weren’t enough mediums to activate it, so it was completely invisible. But now that all the steps are complete, it’s time to harvest the fruits.”
I see.
Noah and Xin both nodded.
After making all preparations, the group followed Naya to the Main Entrance Area.
The fingerprint lock there was nothing more than a decoration—the New Truth Organization had long since locked down the entire Research Institute.
The front desk and cubicles were just as before, untouched except by the Sin Organization.
Xin even spotted the shackles she had once worn.
It seemed no one had been here since then.
Naya directed everyone to move the cubicles aside, clearing the center of the Main Gate area.
Yoge grabbed a handful of black powder from the space rift.
As he walked, he used the powder to draw a massive curse technique array.
The array was framed in a circle, woven together from densely packed tentacles.
An hourglass, manuscript paper, and flesh were arranged in a triangle around the circle, with a gigantic eye at the center.
When Noah saw the eye pattern, a sudden sense of panic surged within her.
She didn’t know why she feared it—she just instinctively found it terrifying.
She stepped back, trying to move farther away from the teleportation array.
Just then, Yoge began to chant.
“I am the Hourglass—overturning me is like overturning the world.”
“I am the Marrow—sucking it is like chewing dawn and dusk.”
“I am the Fool—obsessed with blind, mad fantasies.”
“I am the Manuscript Paper—splashing ink across billions of stars.”
As Yoge chanted, the black powder on the ground slowly ignited.
The light of the teleportation array rose with the flames.
The ashes scattered, leaving behind only a mysterious curse technique array.
“Chaos. Rebirth. Ashes.”
“Eons in a Glance.”
“Messenger. Origin. Silence.”
“All Things Return to One!”
Yoge raised his hands and pressed them together.
A nameless bell toll echoed from the void.
The eye at the center of the array abruptly split open along a crack.
It snapped wide open, staring into the omnipresent bygone times.
“What a marvelous sight…”
Ska shook his head in admiration while filming with his phone.
Xin frowned slightly beside him.
Although she knew little about magic, the incantation clearly didn’t sound like one for a teleportation array.
She rubbed her chin and turned to look at Ska.
“Is this what a teleportation array is like? Something feels off.”
Ska glanced back at Xin, then pointed at himself.
“Huh? You’re asking me? You’re asking someone from the End Organization if they understand magic? Are you even awake?”
The End Organization was a purely technological organization, clueless about magic.
Xin sighed softly, then turned her gaze back to the magic array.
“All procedures are complete.”
Yoge looked back at Noah.
“Geheluosi, now it’s your turn.”
Noah froze.
She furrowed her brows in hesitation, looking at a loss.
“Me…? Me? But I don’t know what spell to recite next.”
Yoge looked up and exchanged a glance with Naya.
The latter immediately nodded.
Naya stepped toward Noah and took her wrist.
“It’s fine. What we need is the Stellar Divine Power. You don’t need to recite anything—just stand in the center of the array.”
Was it really that simple?
Noah found it hard to believe.
But Naya’s eyes were so sincere.
Yoge and Shabu were already waiting expectantly.
Noah looked back at the others, then finally fixed her gaze on Xin.
“Then… I’ll go?”
Xin looked a bit puzzled.
She blinked.
“Huh? What’s the matter? This is the final step.”
