Chapter 677 The Cruelest Appearance
"You're just being narrow-minded. I've always believed that there's hope as long as you're alive..."
These words truly reflect Xu Ning's honest opinion.
No matter what your current situation is, as long as you keep moving forward, you will eventually encounter more possibilities.
However, Calibel slightly raised his head, looked at Xu Ning, and then gently placed one hand on his mask.
"You mean..."
"...Even just living like this...?"
Calibel gently lifted a corner of the white wooden mask covering his face.
"No, Calibel! It's all Daddy's fault, we..."
A gentle breeze carried Ying's wings of wind, quickly transporting her and Ed, whom she was carrying, to this side of the hillside.
Ed released Ying's hand almost as soon as his feet touched the ground, and then stumbled and fell to the ground.
However, he didn't care about his disheveled appearance at the moment and scrambled towards Calibel.
Before Ed could finish speaking, he saw Calibel slowly remove the mask from his face.
His whole body seemed to be convulsing in pain, and he could only cry helplessly at the sky.
"God, why must we be punished like this!"
Xu Ning unconsciously put down the gourd he was holding.
While Ed's wailing evoked pity, Xu Ning was more interested in understanding what lay beneath that mask.
The mask seemed to weigh a ton in Calibel's hands, yet beneath the heavy burden lay nothing.
Yes, there's nothing underneath the mask!
Where there should be a face, it was like the deep night sky in an abyss, where nothing could be seen.
Xu Ning gave a wry smile.
Perhaps when I heard the legend of that Hilichurl who didn't want to see his ugly face so he wore a mask, I should have realized what was underneath the mask.
All beauty and ugliness are relative and concrete. No image can be completely called "ugly" unless... there is no concept of beauty and ugliness at all.
Having nothing is the cruelest thing... after all, you've even lost yourself.
Ed stared at the empty face behind Calibel's mask, then knelt down in anguish and closed his eyes.
“Truly great God, I know I shouldn’t ask you for more, but, my son, I beg you… I beg you…”
At this sorrowful moment, Ed suddenly knelt down to pray, something neither Xu Ning nor Ying had expected.
What Xu Ning didn't expect was that Ed's prayer actually had a response.
Around Calibel, a powerful abyssal force was clearly being rapidly released from his body.
"This power..."
Ying, standing next to Ed, was taken aback. "...It was released from his body. I know, it's that pill!"
Xu Ning nodded, agreeing with Ying's idea.
It seems that Ed prayed for that medicine in the ruins, and the power it contained did not simply restore his sanity, but even left behind such a strong power.
The abyssal power surrounding Calibel seemed to have been unleashed and surged suddenly.
Ying, standing next to Ed, was directly confronted by this force, and the immense power instantly knocked her unconscious.
Xu Ning flashed to Ying's side and casually waved his left hand, which was holding the wine gourd.
A burst of amber-colored liquid suddenly spread out, colliding with the deep purple abyssal power around him, emitting a soft popping sound.
Xu Ning pulled Ying into his arms and coldly shouted at Calibel, "Take back your power! No matter what you've become after accepting this power, if you continue to hurt Ying like this, I'll turn my back on you..."
However, Calibel seemed to be absorbed in his newfound power and did not respond to Xu Ning's words.
However, Xu Ning noticed that in such a short time, Kalibel had actually managed to control this enormous abyssal power and condense it on his face.
Xu Ning asked in surprise, "You...you're going to...?"
