Chapter 386 - Chapter 386: Chapter 366 Byrnes Choice (2/2)
The next moment, Little Black suddenly swallowed the half-piece of the ruby-red Philosopher’s Stone without a sound and disappeared on the spot, slipping into the Spirit Realm.
The Curator, seeing the half-piece of the supremely important Philosopher’s Stone taken away, still did not show panic in his eyes, instead stepping forward. In the blink of an eye, he was already in the Spirit Realm.
He turned his head, looking toward the black life entity not far away.
“Come back here.”
Little Black was also surprised, completely unable to understand how, after randomly appearing in the Spirit Realm, it could still be caught up with instantly by the other.
Without a word, the Curator stretched out his hand, the power contained within his palm was incredibly terrifying, aimed specifically at souls, and could even instantly destroy any Extraordinary Exponent who had not reached the Heavenly Enlightenment Level, wanting to eliminate it right there.
However, that power went straight through Little Black without causing any harm.
“Huh?”
The Curator frowned slightly, his extraordinary power having inexplicably failed, something exceedingly strange that he hadn’t encountered in nearly a thousand years.
“What exactly are you? Do you really belong to the Claud World?”
It was at that moment that a voice came through.
“Little Black, Little Black, come back!”
Suddenly, Little Black heard Helen’s call, and it immediately dove into the ground like diving into water, vanishing from the Spirit Realm in an instant.
The half-piece of the Philosopher’s Stone was taken away.
“…”
Still, the Curator felt no surge of anger or irritation inside; he had encountered too many things over thousands of years, having been close to death over a dozen times. Even if that half-piece of the Philosopher’s Stone was truly lost, it wouldn’t drive the old man insane.
That black life entity.
What exactly was it?
The Curator gently shook his head, deeply intrigued internally, but he also knew he had to consider other matters first.
No matter what transpired, he could maintain his rationality.
“So it seems the one who has broken The Oath is you, Byrne Fischer. However, I’ve come to understand that you must have a way to evade punishment, right?”
After a long silence, the Curator still considered sending thousands of his soul incarnations to the East Coast of Cyart to directly destroy the Fischer family and reclaim the Philosopher’s Stone.
However, among those thousands of soul incarnations, only about a dozen had Monarch Level strength. Even if he destroyed the Fischer family, it would likely lead to heavy casualties among them, affecting his next breakthrough.
Besides, by doing so, the Curator felt he might thoroughly offend… Him!
So, before deciding how to proceed, he decided to make a prophecy first.
“How can this be?”
The Curator’s face drastically changed, revealing an extremely rare expression of shock, as if he had foreseen an immensely exaggerated, inconceivable future!
“Does such a future mean He is about to awaken?”
“Then I… must leave this world… I cannot return to the Claud World for a short time.”
He stepped forward without hesitation, and in the next moment, he was already in a new world outside the Claud World.
——
In Nasir City, inside Fischer Manor.
In Helen’s room.
Byrne and Helen were both anxiously waiting when suddenly, Little Black appeared before them.
Helen breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to embrace it!
She truly regarded Little Black as her best friend, her face instantly blooming with a warm and radiant smile like a flower bursting forth in spring, both tender and vibrant with life.
Byrne, on the other hand, took a deep breath subconsciously, staring at the bright red Philosopher’s Stone!
“The ultimate alchemical tool has come into my possession just like that. I thought there would be many risks… but I still won the bet!”
But he quickly realized something.
In the end, he could only choose one!
The miracles the Philosopher’s Stone could incite were limited!
Was it to restore his daughter Lilian’s life or to help the Lord of the Lost awaken, without question, he could only choose one!
He took a deep breath, and gripping the Philosopher’s Stone for a long while, after only a moment’s contemplation, his voice was pained yet resolute.
“Use it to resurrect the great Lord of the Lost then, I’m sorry, my dearest daughter… Lilian, even though deep down I know it’s the choice you would want, it’s still too painful for me.”
