The Gentleman at the End

Theater Interior

As the self-destructive state clown Art was taken away, the danger ceased.

The Plague Masters in the special room also put away their respective methods, and the Lord revealed a satisfied smile under the helmet,

"This courage is quite impressive. If this matter is handled properly, it is likely that a new Plague Master will be born.

Since ancient times, due to the Madman's autocratic style, no one has been qualified to become a Plague Master. The Neisseria Ones were too naive and invited disaster. Otherwise, it was entirely possible to give birth to a Plague Master.

This has also led to no one being able to stand out in the field of brain diseases. Now, we might have the opportunity to witness the birth of the 'first one'.

However, once such a Plague Master appears, dealing with the entire world will no longer be as simple as it was before.

This kid hasn't even become a Plague Master yet and can already set up such a big situation, making us all come to witness~ witness his ascent, witness him executing the most troublesome evil tumor of the Old World.

Fame and wealth go hand in hand, it's truly terrifying!"

The Duke chewed on the snacks he carried, saying casually, "Don't worry, William will not threaten our position, nor will he change the world's structure. His thoughts have already risen to a farther place along with his brain.

Lord, perhaps your eyes can also look farther.

William, he should be the first to make contact with the outside world, and the ensuing external events will affect and descend here."

"Outside? I've been looking forward to it for a long time… Hasn't Fish Origin been conducting related research all along?"

"The world gears haven't sped up much because of Fish Origin, but because of William this kid almost turned out the Fire Core. Now even I don't have enough funds to trade with the future."

While the two Plague Masters were chatting,

The Prison Director left the room early, went to the backstage area where Yi Chen was waiting, and roughly understood what had happened.

William's ability to make such a decision in an instant at a critical moment also made the Prison Director quite admire him, but he also saw the other's scheming.

"Art has always been in effective control of his malice, always on the verge of being most wanted by the Old World. But a few months ago, he suddenly crossed the line, even reaching [Top Wanted] now.

Unfortunately, you two targeted him in advance, and in the end, William completed the closing. Moreover, I, this Prison Director, and several Plague Masters happened to arrive on the scene at the end to witness all this.

Yi Chen, do you think this is a coincidence, or is someone deliberately orchestrating it?"

Yi Chen did not hide anything and actively spoke out his reasoning.

"William must have been planning this matter from a very early time, willing to undergo a real [Worsening], discarding his so-called gentlemanly demeanor just to become 'confidants' with Art, and use a common goal to establish an alliance relationship.

Using the 'Qualification' as bait to lure Art further into the game.

As long as Art is killed, he can obtain a complete compensation on the physical level, obtain the qualifications coveted by all patients, and use the opportunity to eliminate the greatest evil of the Old World, thereby winning the acknowledgment of the world.

Kill three birds with one stone… this is not a coincidence, but his layout.

However, the success rate of such a layout has never reached 100%, not even close to 60%, especially when Art's decision to self-destruct just now created problems in the entire game.

If William truly can stabilize this large situation, it's undeniable that this is his skill… isn't it? Prison Director."

"You're right… Let's see if he can really become a Plague Master."

Everyone inside the theater was waiting, waiting for the final result to emerge. The lack of an explosion to be felt for a long time also indicated that William may have succeeded.

During the waiting period, the theater staff also brought instant noodles,

The novelty of this food surprised the Lord, Great Emperor, Pierwina, and even the Prison Director, causing them to praise it repeatedly. They had never eaten such a special and convenient food before.

The Lord even wanted to ask William how this thing is sold when he came back, and also impolitely asked Candle Puppet Thirteen to continue bringing more, eating more than ten buckets without stopping.

When the Lord ate the seventeen bucket, a sense of danger that reached the deep soul came.

The Plague Masters present, the Great Emperor, and Yi Chen also felt this danger, this fear-induced danger, with strands of black hair passing before everyone's eyes.

"The First Abyss! Daring to come here proactively…"

The Lord's belligerent nature was unleashed in an instant, gold-plated armor wrapped around his entire body, heroic and valiant.

The butcher's iron chains on the Prison Director's back were also raised high, ready to arrest this terrifying existence that shouldn't have been born in the Old World.

Pierwina remained the same, just gently caressing the Great Emperor's shoulder,

Crack!

Theater's main door was forcibly destroyed.

A man wearing a rabbit headgear and a purple suit walked in, with a fortune-bringing rabbit on his shoulder assisting him in translating muscle language.

Beside him was a man wearing a magic hat and a strange mask, clearly visible to the naked eye but with no aura at all.

Although neither of them are Plague Masters, they carry an aura close to one,

a man wearing a beast bone mask with a pure white beast perched on his back also came out, constantly sniffing some scent.

Finally, a burly head chef with his tongue hanging outside his body pushed a wheelchair into the theater, with the "First Abyss" seated on it.

Just as the Lord was about to take action, the Duke raised a hand to stop him,

"Lord, didn't we just discuss? We must keep a broader perspective. The state of the [First Abyss] cannot withstand one of your strikes. He is risking coming here for a reason, to discuss something with us. Perhaps we should hear him out."

The Lord did not respond, merely silently watching the source of fear below.

Cough, cough… a series of coughs spread.

"This time, I have come to handle matters within the Circus and hope everyone will give me some time.

I do not have much time left to live. If you all are unwilling to give me a chance to resolve these internal matters, I won't mind burning what's left of my fear to bury everyone alongside me."

Though the Lord is one of the top existences in the Old World, recalling the scene of 'Fear Spread' when they once jointly hunted the First Abyss still gave him pause.

If the First Abyss chooses [Self-Destruction], the power may surpass that of Beatt by several levels, and the entire Old World would be shrouded in fear for a long time. Even if the new world is successfully infected, life may struggle to be born normally.

At this moment, the Duke's voice came from the second floor, responding to the boss's words, "We are merely [Audience] invited by William, currently just waiting for the final curtain of the performance, with no malice."

"Hmm."

The boss still had respect for the Duke since back then when the entire Old World's forces were hunting him, only the Duke remained neutral and was even willing to provide normal trade assistance.

It did not take long before the stage began to creak.

The curtain, wood shavings, and dust were all gradually pulled by a growing force towards the center of the stage, even being absorbed into it.

With everyone's gaze directed there,

a black dot slowly emerged from the spot where the suction was occurring, and the dot continued to grow, forming a black circle of light.

This was not an Abyss Hole but a pure 'black hole' capable of sucking in material.

However, upon closer inspection, the black hole seemed to have the pattern of brain grooves.

At the same time,

a mental ray swept out from within, scanning every corner of the theater, instantly gathering detailed information on everyone present.

The black hole not only absorbed external material but also began to consume internal elements.

Gradually, special cancer cells were extracted from the inner layer of the world, surrounding the black hole to construct a physical form,

beginning with a newly defined skeleton,

then came the gold-plated interior organs redistributed and structurally reconfigured,

each vein path optimized with Abyss Black Worms crawling inside, quickly providing key nutrients to various body parts through transmission.

Each muscle's ends seemed pulled by muscular giants, stretching them to their fullest.

Finally, a new, delicate layer of skin was applied externally, flawless, even catching an unusual glance from Pierwina.

The abyss on the abdomen had been smoothed out, leaving only a black vortex mark.

Also, as Pierwina was present, Yellow Skin was currently on the backstage of Yi Chen, dare not to appear and attach to William actively.

The black hole individual at the center of the stage controlled skin disease to create a special suit that suited him, colored in two tones.

One side gold, the other black.

The physical form was already that of a gentleman, yet above the neck, it was still empty, with only a strange 'black hole' floating.

Until a grotesque smile gradually appeared from the depths of the black hole,

strands of primitive brain nerve beyond the comprehension of everyone present began to reweave the face, constructing the entire head with pure brain cells, including the skull, muscles, and features.

The smile worn on the face made many present shiver, unable to determine whether this person was William or Art.

Until a special frame, ingeniously completed with black and gold, appeared above the head.

The title was also unveiled:

[The First Completer-William Behrens]

The moment the frame and title appeared, William stepped back with his left foot, spread his arms slightly raised, and deeply bowed his head, thanking the audience present.

"Thank you all for coming to witness my [final performance]."
