Chapter 430: 430
At the same time, under the Blast Tunnel. ROOT’s expression changed slightly. She turned her head to a direction which was empty and mumbled, “Another enemy encounter that is not expected…”
Of course, she merely mumbled and did nothing else because before her, there was a more troublesome situation that she needed to deal with. At that moment, 100 metres before ROOT… a darkness incarnate was slowly approaching.

“Even I can’t analyse him…?” ROOT said softly. “And he only used less than half an hour to suck up almost all the dark ness in the city after passing through the demonic door.” She scoffed. “No wonder… he is the Leader of Demon.”
The Leader of Demon naturally heard her. His lips curled into a cold smile. The dark energy around him suddenly solidified and swirled like a whirlpool and rushed into his body. At that moment, the Leader of Demons showed his true self.
His face still looked like human and in appearance, he looked not one day above 30. And he could be considered rather handsome. He had four pupilless eyes and they were glowing with bright energy, he had beast-like gangs, elf-like ears and a white long hair that reached his lower back, it wagged like it was alive.
On the man’s forehead, a pure-black goat’s horn grew towards the sky. Two sharp black thorn grew out from the two sides of his temple. His body was covered in a strange black armor, they were like living snakes and scorpions, their scales gleaming stuck to the man’s sculpted body, like they were a part of his body.
…
Now we shall skip over the conflict between ROOT and the Leader of Demon for now to focus back onto the situation with Brother Jue.
“It’s you!” Ambitionist recognized X-23 immediately. After all, 23 was the only Anomaly Ambitionist had ever met before this, and that scenario was when he first met Feng Bujue so of course he would remember every detail about it.
“The three of you better leave this place immediately.” 23 told Ambitionist as she moved towards Feng Bujue. This time she was dressed strangely in a white, astronaut-like costume. Other than the head, the rest of her body was covered like the logo of the Michelin Baby.
“You… impossible!” The light over Y2-Bright Glow was condensing and his face was darker than the dark side of the moon that it was impossible to tell the expression on his face but when he spoke, it belied his panic. “How could you be here? This scenario has already been…”
“I don’t have the responsibility to answer you that.” 23 cut the man off. “And don’t think about trying to drag this out.” She laughed her tingly laugh and two metallic claws cut through her claws. “Before ‘Drake’ or ‘Quick Bell’ could come to save you, you’d be cut into pieces already.” As she finished, the claw glinted and she morphed into a shadow. 23 took down the enemy with one shit, swift and clean. The blade from her claws pierced deep into Y2-Bright Glow’s throat. A data flow that was shimmering in gold like liquid leaked into Y2-Bright Glow’s body and it started to spread…
Y2-Blade Glow hadn’t died but he knew it was only a matter of time. 23 slowly retracted the blade. She did it very slowly… to prevent Y2’s blood from splattering on her clothes.
“I bet ROOT never told you this would happen.” 23 said softly.
Y2-Bright Glow’s chime-like voice now sounded like a windchime with the wind dying down. “Death… does not necessarily mean the end.”
“No, death… is the end.” 23 said, “in our world, there is no god, no faith, no salvation so death is end. So… goodbye.” Her claw by then had left the man’s neck and the golden data flow had completed the corruption of Y2’s body. Several seconds later, the Anomaly Y2-Bright Glow who had been energy-enhanced was nowhere. In terms of data, he was in itself an anomaly, a traffic, a strip of code that would be swept away. So his disappearance… was irrevocable.
“Why are you people still here?” 23 turned back around and when she passed AMbitionist, she said without looking at him. Ambitionist and King of Shadow were stunned beyond belief, especially the latter, he was struck dumb. His mind was thinking, [Who is this? Is there such a character among the 50 finalists?]
Pegasus who was lying supine though kept asking, “What’s happening? I heard someone coming! Hey! Why aren’t any of you talking? Is anyone still there?”
“Your timing is perfect… I have many things to ask you.” Feng Bujue looked at 23 who walked towards and said with a smile.
“We can’t stay here for long.” Even though she had just split Y2-Bright Glow’s throat, 23 did not seem at ease. “We can talk later, I need you to come with me now.”
“Erm… I have something else to do, my two partners are down that way…” Feng Bujue pointed at the direction of the Blast Tunnel.
23 cut him off. “You can’t go there.” She said firmly. “You are the key among the ’10’, there shan’t be any mistake.” When she spoke, she lifted her head to look at where Feng Bujue was pointing. Then she asked, “One of your partner is Kuang Tanzi, right? Then the other one with him must be Matcha Cookie.”
Feng Bujue replied, “Erm… yes.” Temporarily, he was not going to ask her about her ability to look so far down the distance and answered directly.
“Then it’ll be fine.” 23 said, “Matcha Cookie is one of the ’10’. My partner will look after her safety. I will contact my people now and inform them of your situation.” She paused. “In any case, you have to come with me now.”
