Chapter 118 : Miracle Master
Above the Black Fog. South Side"So why is the combat power distributed like this?" All ordinary company employees, weak wanderers, and ordinary anomalies willing to help were assigned here. They were numerous but had no Anomaly Kings accompanying them.
"Are we being treated as expendable?"
"No, there's another possibility - maybe they find us troublesome and are protecting us."
"Protection? Do I need protection? Do you know who I am?"
The man seriously examined this person leading a girl: "Don't know, don't want to know."
"Forget it, slacking off is pretty good."

Above the Black Fog
North Side
"Why are all the high combat powers here?" Bai Ling looked around at a circle of either Anomaly Kings or acquaintances.
Except for Mercy who wasn't present, all Anomaly Kings were on the north side.
"That's because I want to speedrun after N playthroughs."
"N playthroughs? Speedrun?"
"Though the time is different, the place is the same."
"What's all this about?"
【Time advanced, but the black fog is still this black fog. Our target is ahead.】
In the distance, three people stood in a row with a magnificent palace behind them. On this black fog, such a palace had appeared at some unknown time.
A man in magician's clothing holding a staff bowed: "I am Archbishop Pride. Good evening, everyone."
A slender man also introduced himself: "I am Archbishop Gluttony."
A person with golden limbs said somewhat timidly: "I am Archbishop Greed."
"Can I go back to the palace? I'm afraid of dying. I'm not as awesome as you two!"
Pride glanced at him casually: "Sure, go back."
"R-really?"
"I'm going back then?"
"I'm really leaving?"
The man tried to return to the palace, already stepping on the stairs. He didn't want to die - he wasn't even an Anomaly King. How could he survive in battle? Although the god would surely resurrect him in the new world and reforge their bodies, that was only if the plan succeeded. What if it failed?
Suddenly "thud!" came a sound. His chest was pierced by Pride's hand. He looked at Archbishop Pride in despair: "You... you!"
"We don't need cowards. Now you're stripped of qualification to survive in the new world." Archbishop Pride shrugged indifferently. Mere Incomplete, Xiang Liu, Rules, Time, Heaven's Secret - five great Anomaly Kings. He didn't take them seriously at all.
"Haven't even started fighting and you're fighting among yourselves?" Bai Ling looked at this scene somewhat confused. Terminus Cult's internal management wasn't great either.
"Enough talk, come at me! All five of you together!" Archbishop Pride pointed at the five great Anomaly Kings and laughed.
"Such arrogance!" Bai Ling gaped at this scene. He was so confident - was he stronger than Archbishop Mercy?
Incomplete struck first, using her anomalous technique on Pride, but unexpectedly his body showed no change.
"Hmph, nothing special."
A piece of equipment was discarded by him, then he seemed to put on other equipment.
"Wait, I recognize that! Banshee Veil?" Bai Ling noticed the item on the ground was very similar to equipment in games that provides immunity to one spell damage.
【His ability couldn't be pulling out virtual things, could it?】
Incomplete didn't give up and used her technique again. Pride still stood there, suddenly turning completely golden!
"Damn, Zhonya's Hourglass?"
Pride glanced at Bai Ling, discarded the hourglass and pulled out another item.
【Got it, I know what's next - Guardian Angel, right?】
Consistent with his attire, he was like a magician constantly producing strange and wonderful items.
"My turn now."
Pride shouted: "Use Divine Slash on Incomplete!" Then threw three dice - 5, 5, 6, great success!
A golden slash appeared out of nowhere, striking hard at Incomplete, but its power clearly weakened upon entering her vicinity and was easily blocked.
【Damn, game skills work too? Cheating?】
Pride didn't give up, pulled out a blade and charged at the Anomaly Kings. Mana diffusion and wide-range continuous slashing made Bai Ling immediately recognize this blade's name - Yama's Blade!
Bai Menglan acted. Waves appeared out of nowhere sweeping forward. Torrential waterspouts covered hundreds of miles. Archbishop Pride was swept into the air about to fall into the "ocean"!
"Forgot to tell you - I'm also a Titanfall pilot!"
A mech with an energy sword fell from the sky. The man jumped in and closed the hatch. Bai Ling also recognized that mech - named Ronin.
He suddenly disappeared and appeared behind Bai Ling. From start to finish, his target was actually only one - Bai Ling. After exiting the special space, he swung this blade at Bai Ling!
Contract acted. That blade suddenly shattered and disappeared, erased, but then the man in the cockpit smiled and ejected from the mech. The mech exploded thunderously! Huge flames filled the battlefield with nuclear bomb-level power!
"Bai Ling!" Bai Menglan called out worriedly.
"I'm fine..."
After the dust settled, it was a face in the process of regenerating. Bai Ling had half her body destroyed by the explosion, but had already regenerated a third of it.
【I'm someone who can withstand nuclear bombs too.】
Archbishop Pride looked at this scene and curled his lip: 【Didn't even die from that?】
Looking at his few remaining trump cards, Archbishop Pride felt somewhat guilty. He looked at Gluttony beside him and urged: "Are you ready yet?"
"Almost, almost." Gluttony was constantly eating something, making chewing sounds.
"I told you to prepare in advance!"
"I told you, my duration is only one minute. What's the use of preparing early?"
"Fine, I can help you stall for five more minutes at most!"
Archbishop Pride reluctantly pulled out a card and threw it into the air, then put his palms together with facial twitching. In this instant, massive gravity struck. Everyone was pulled and dragged by that force, flying into the air. The Anomaly Kings couldn't spare time to protect everyone. Soil and rocks from the ground pierced through the black fog and gathered together. A huge meteor formed, constantly expanding in size. Some people were sucked in along with flying rocks.
【Cheating, absolutely cheating! You don't even have Rinnegan!】
A meteor just floated in the air like a divine miracle.
"His authority allows him to materialize others' dreams - maybe teenagers who fantasized about doing this after watching anime, maybe uncles who fantasized about such equipment in reality after playing games, maybe children who fantasized about using such skills after watching videos?"
Lin Xinyao explained Archbishop Pride's ability.
"That's too overpowered! Why can he have so many powerful skills?"
"Because he contracted a Miracle Anomaly. These are all miracles he's collected and preserved over the years, but there are still many limitations - he can't use rule-type ones at all, and ones too powerful are also unusable."
"Once the greatest magician, but merely an incompetent person playing god through Miracle Anomaly."
"You have no talent of your own. Of your magic tricks, which one belongs to you? Like these knockoff skills of yours - vulnerable!"
"Time - Rewind."
Except for Archbishop Pride, everyone else's time was rewound. Gluttony who had eaten for so long found he ate for nothing. Pride who had been busy found his cards used but cooldowns unchanged.
Those Light Chasers looked at themselves in disbelief.
"I, I didn't die?"
"Wasn't I just sucked into..."
"Miracle, this is a true miracle!"
