The Gentleman at the End

[Evil Sun] is almost born with the Sick Focus as the first generation Plague Master,

or rather, he is a part separated from the Sick Focus, an indispensable part of the operation of the Old World, and has been a Plague Master since birth.

The heat energy released by the Evil Sun nourishes all plagues in the Old World. It is the existence of the Evil Sun that allows various bacteria to develop superfast and achieve species diversification, resulting in meaningful source epidemic areas like [Cancer Palace], [Skin Factory], [Arc Sea], and the powerful Plague Masters that rule these areas.

It can be said that the strength of the entire Old World is built under the nourishment of the Evil Sun, and even many rules are born around the Evil Sun.

The Evil Sun's stance is also very special; he exists independently, without belonging to any source epidemic area or organization, at most, some 'self-sentimental' worshipers have established some sunward folk organizations.

However, long-term independent existence seems to have made the Evil Sun feel a bit lonely, perhaps purely uninteresting, or maybe to increase his control over the Old World.

The Evil Sun gave birth to two offspring through 'self-stripping.'

Those living during that time would be able to see three suns hanging high in the sky, heat and light spreading throughout the Old World, further depriving those naturally fond of darkness, those hiding in corners, of their living permissions.

Subsequently,

the eldest son was completely killed one night, and the concept of death was first born in the Old World in the form of bacilli, and the pattern of the entire Old World was changing.

To restrain this spread of death, the second son of the Evil Sun voluntarily descended before the grave of the Origin of Death, transforming his body into mountains and turning the disease core into white bonfire, thus forming the landmark of the Old World [Bonfire Mountain Range].

He became the boundary between life and death and could visit his revered brother anytime.

Even if war broke out and the Evil Sun fell, the second son would still fulfill his duty and restrain the dead.

...

After the formal establishment of cooperation between William and Art,

as long as he did not go to Art's [Smile Fan Club], he would almost always go to the Original Tomb and even become well-acquainted with each Death Plague Knight.

Nominally, it is to enhance understanding of death for the subsequent reunion with Yi Chen,

but in reality, William had another plan, his real goal being to let Little Grape, the Collector of Evil Sun Firewood, contact the offspring of the Evil Sun.

Whether it is the second son on the Bonfire Mountain Range or the first born, immersed in the depth of death without concerning worldly matters, both are targets for Little Grape to contact and learn from.

Rather than saying William was enhancing in the Original Tomb, it would be better to say Little Grape was enhancing.

This is the most important part of William's 'Sinister Plan.' It must rely on Little Grape's unique Evil Sun trait to increase the probability of defeating Art from below 50% to above 50%, maximizing the dramatic effect of [The Last Performance].

If Abyss Flipping is the key means used by William to restrain cancer cells, then Little Grape's Flipping Evil Sun is the ultimate means to erase Art.

[Cancer]

has long been rated as the king of plagues in the Old World,

and Cancer Palace has long held the title of 'First Source Epidemic Area,'

but throughout the history of Cancer Palace's development, there has always been a group that can counterbalance it, even suppress it to some extent. Unfortunately, this group has been restricted by the Evil Sun and isolated in the world's corner.

That is precisely the [Death Plague Knight Order].

The first dead man brought the first death to the Pathology World and made all the plagues that permeated the Old World feel the icy darkness of death for the first time, making them feel true fear.

Death is an absolute poison for bacteria with biological structures,

no matter how extreme Art's Evil Tumor is, it remains a tumor, a type of plague, and it will perish because of death,

thus, Yi Chen, as the favored of death, naturally becomes the strongest weapon to kill Art.

But in William's view, it is still far from enough, insufficient to erase this last Evil Tumor, who is also inheriting Outer Realm Divinity and has obtained qualification, about to become a Plague Master.

Therefore, William must also prepare everything in advance.

This is exactly the current "Flipped Stage" and "Dead Sun."

At this moment,

as the flipped Little Grape gradually rises from the broken Abyss shell, hanging high in the sky, announcing that [Tumor and Heaven] has been replaced, the control of the current scene falls back into William's hands again.

The wriggling black eyeballs, the swinging flame circle of the arms, the internal burning of the flipped firewood,

in an instant, extreme cold and darkness envelop the city, providing an excellent activity environment for the dead,

even the injuries Yi Chen suffered during his battle with the Great Emperor are quickly healing in such an environment, the intense death affinity making him forget fatigue, slowly returning to his peak.

Moreover, there is currently another most important change.

On the withered grape vine, the Abyss shell damaged by Art with a nail hammer is undergoing some kind of change.

The Abyss shell discards the completely shattered head part,

squeak~ through the wriggling of a large number of black worms, the cracks between limbs and shell are being repaired and re-polished, making the structure of the Abyss body look more like knight's armor.

William's Abyssal State now looks as if it has turned into a set of "Armor."

Internal Library.

William once again returns to his director's stance, making a very respectful inviting gesture, and the invitee is Yi Chen on the opposite side.

The high-pitched voice echoes in the Library,

"The most suitable stage for the dead has been set! Finally, the final act has arrived.

Yi Chen, please! Continue the performance that has yet to finish above the False Moon, slay the greatest evil of the Old World, this time I will be your shell, making up for the Great Emperor's consumption on you."

"William, exactly what are you doing..."

"After everything is over, Yi Chen, you will naturally know the answer. I have always been grateful for Mr. Yi's care! Let me support you this time."

With the formation of the Abyss Armor,

drip drop~ thick black liquid continuously drips, a head like a surfacing ocean slowly emerges from the neck of the armor, and his body gradually fills the entire armor.

External chains from the Monastery entangle the armor on the right arm,

the black blade formed by Nash is tightly held in hand,

all the Death Aura is condensed within the body due to the absorption effect of the Abyss, and will only be completely released upon contact with a target.

This time,

William has conducted a true "Self-Flipping,"

turning Yi Chen, who was once the secondary, into the protagonist while William himself transforms into the secondary with an Abyssal State, becoming the armor supporting the physical body.

Somber, low-pitched chorus plays at this moment.

The unique frame of pure black color, rock layer structure emerges above, and the surface of the frame is permeated with black liquid, devoid of gold or silver components, seemingly to no longer belong to the Patient category to some extent.

Most importantly, the title and name on the frame have undergone tremendous changes.

§William Y. Behrens, Drowns Under the Abyss§

The letter Y is bolded and continues secreting black liquid.

...

Tumor Emperor Art is completely stunned by the change before his eyes, he can't believe that his ultimate state manifestation of [Tumor and Heaven] would be covered and even completely possessed by the opponent.

The extremely cold Dead Sun makes him uncomfortable all over, each golden tumor thread weaving his priest robe is smoking and an endless sense of crisis rises within.

However, the sudden turn of events calms Art down.

"Ah... William~ you are indeed my kindred spirit, only someone who understands me could drive me to this extent.

I acknowledge you! You are an exceptional actor! The Circus has risen another level because of your joining."

No sooner had the words fallen,

Art reached back and tore off the disc-shaped wings, stuffing all twelve hand-constructed wings into his mouth, chewing and swallowing them.

During this process, his belly slowly swelled up, as if the [Swollen Cathedral] in his abdomen was continuously growing larger.

Art's thought was being led to the memory granted by his divine blessing, he saw a special Godslayer Spear, and this spear was not in this world.

However, he relied on the memory of this spear from his divine perception, and through the realm he has currently reached, to conduct self-creation using the trait of the Evil Tumor.

Splat!

A string of golden liquid flowed out from Art's abdomen, the entire Swollen Cathedral blossoming with golden light.

With a strong pull from Art, a certain tumor-like Holy Relic was revealed to the world,

the spear handle is entwined by twelve golden arms, the spear tip forms a cross, with a carving of a suffering person on top.

Even though this is a replica self-created by Art based on memory, the spear tip exudes a strong dangerous aura, an aura capable of killing gods.
