Absolute Choice 7

by Pear Lands In The Autumn Spring

  Kali was slightly taken aback.

  On Shi Xiaobai's body?

  Kali turned to look at Shi Xiaobai. If there was anything special on Shi Xiaobai's body, it was undoubtedly the sword spirit in that holy sword, as well as...

  "That dog!?" Kali exclaimed.

  "It is no dog."

  The tiny black-lit person said in a heavy tone, "It is a sacred beast, as well as a pet of Sire. In human parlance, it's called 'Greed'!"

  Kali's pupils slightly contracted. The poodle named the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign was indeed somewhat greedy, but Kali never expected for the dog to be one of the Deadly Sins—Greed!

  It was no wonder the tiny black-lit person kept pursuing Shi Xiaobai. It was because it had found the dog on Shi Xiaobai's body.

  But why would the dog succumb to Shi Xiaobai?

  According to Gluttony's words, the dog had already awakened, but it was just playing dumb?

  Why was it playing dumb?

  Kali had a sense of foreboding. She looked at Shi Xiaobai and whispered, "Xiaobai, can you let the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign come out?"

  Shi Xiaobai was somewhat confused. He did not understand most of what Kali and the tiny black-lit person were talking about. He did not even have a clear understanding of the Original Sin of Calamity. He remembered Riko mentioning it before and how Kali once said that the Original Sin of Calamity was her enemy. As for the rest, he did not know at all.

  Judging from what the two of them were talking about, the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign that he conquered using the Master Conquest Ball was apparently not as simple as a Level Lord?

  Shi Xiaobai pondered for a moment and shook his head. "Forget it, since it doesn't want to come out, it must have its reasons. Regardless of what it once was, it is now This King's pet. This King does not like to force it to do what it doesn't like."

  Upon hearing this, Kali said gently, "Alright!"

  She fully supported Shi Xiaobai's wishes. Regardless of what the consequences would be, she would address it when the time came.

  The tiny black-lit person was incensed when it heard this. "Foolish human, do you think a scum like you is worthy to be the owner of Sire's pet? Sacred dog, if you don't get the fuck out, I'll exhaust all means to kill this human!"

  Kali said with a sneer, "It looks like you really disparage me. Fine, this time, I'll send you into the abyss for you to learn what it means to feel respectful fear!"

  Seeing the tiny black-lit person repeatedly using Shi Xiaobai's life as a threat, Kali was immediately infuriated!

  "Pixie, don't you go too far!"

  The tiny black-lit person said coldly, "You are indeed very strong, but you are like an ant when placed in front of Sire. I'm only one fragment of the will of Sire. Regardless of how you seal me or kill me multiple times, a thought from Sire will create thousands more of me! I advise you to mind your business. If not, the day of Sire's awakening will be the day of your downfall!"

  Kali did not speak any further. What Gluttony said was likely true. If not Gluttony would not have recklessly exposed its partner, Greed. She had underestimated the Original Sin of Calamity's strength after all!

  However, regardless of how strong the Original Sin of Calamity was, she had to fight it to the death!

  Kali slowly stretched her index finger out. A blob of light began bursting out from her fingertip!

  This arrogant Gluttony deserves death!

  At this moment, the golden ball in Shi Xiaobai's clothes began to shake violently

  Shi Xiaobai was slightly surprised as he took out the golden ball and pressed its switch.

  A golden light bloomed as a mini poodle that was as white as snow appeared in front of Shi Xiaobai.

  Kali slowly withdrew her finger. From the looks of it, this white dog had chosen to come at this moment in order to save the tiny black-lit person?

  The tiny black-lit person said coldly, "You have finally decided on coming out?"

  "Woof!"

  The white dog barked softly.

  This was purely a dog's bark. No one understood what the dog's bark meant.

  The tiny black-lit person said angrily, "Stop playing dumb. You have clearly been awakened!"

  The white dog shook its tail and took a few steps back.

  "I...I...don't...know...what...you...are saying."

  A voice that was like a one or two-year-old toddler came out of the white dog's mouth in a staccato manner. "I...seem...to...have...amnesia...I...had...a dream, but...the dream...had...you...but...I don't know...what happened... Does...this mean...awakening?"

  When the tiny black-lit person heard this, it fell silent and looked at Shi Xiaobai. It coldly said, "Human, what did you do to it? Why did it become so weak, to the point of it losing its memory?"

  Shi Xiaobai shrugged his shoulders and said, "This King conquered it."

  To be precise, he had used a B-level reward from the Absolute Choice, the Master Conquest Ball, to conquer the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign. However, Shi Xiaobai naturally could not disclose matters regarding the Absolute Choice, so he had streamlined his explanation.

  The tiny black-lit person immediately said angrily, "What a joke! How can a weak human like you even think of conquering Sire's sacred beast? Sacred dog, what did this scum do to you!?"

  Shi Xiaobai's eyes turned cold slightly. The tiny black-lit person had repeatedly insulted him. Did it treat him as some good-natured nice guy?

  If not for agreeing Kali to not be easily angered, Shi Xiaobai did not mind letting the tiny black-lit person have a taste of the anger of a King.

  However, before Shi Xiaobai or Kali were angered, a dog was first to be unwilling to accept it.

  "Shut...Shut up!"

  The white dog puffed its chest and said loudly, "Do... Do you know...who...you are insulting? Take...take a good look... Look...carefully...at who he is!"

  When the white dog said this, Kali and the tiny black-lit person immediately had a drastic change in expression.

  The tiny black-lit person looked carefully at Shi Xiaobai and said in horror moments later, "Impossible! How could that happen!?"

  Kali was too deep for tears.

  Things had gone full circle back to the original point.

  Chapter330 Are you courting death or committing suicide

  "Impossible! How could that happen!?”

  When the tiny black-lit person heard the white dog tell it to look carefully at who Shi Xiaobai was, it began to observe Shi Xiaobai carefully. Apparently, it had discovered something new. It was a discovery that was enough to make it shocked!

  Kali's heart immediately leaped to her throat. She was originally suspecting the reason why Greed would become Shi Xiaobai's pet, and at this moment, with Gluttony's surprised attitude, it immediately made her guess ominously.

  Everything had seemed to return to the original point.

  Shi Xiaobai was indeed not an ordinary human. Then, who was he?

  Could it be...

  "Human, how did that sword recognize you as its master!?"

  Gluttony said the discovery that had shocked it!

  The holy sword that had sealed it for eons had recognized this human as its master, shocking Gluttony greatly.

  Kali was dumbfounded upon hearing this. As she sighed, she found it quite amusing.

  It seemed like she was a bit oversensitive?

  Shi Xiaobai could not be bothered to answer. The tiny black-lit person's attitude made him rather unhappy.

  Seeing the Shi Xiaobai not answering him, the tiny black-lit person looked startled. To be able to make Greed and that holy sword recognize him as master, he could not be an ordinary human in any possible way!

  The tiny black-lit person turned to look at the white dog and asked, "Who the hell is he!?"

  The dog seemed to know who this human was?

  The dog shook its tail and shouted loudly, "Shi! Xiao! Bai!"
>
  The tiny black-lit person said in wonderment, "Shi Xiaobai?"

  The white dog nodded and said with a grin, "Shi Xiaobai...is my...master... You are not...allowed to insult him...or...or I will...bite you!"

  The white dog had clearly lost its memories and its intelligence was that of a three-year-old. Hoping it would say anything of value was asking too much from a dog.

  Kali shook her head and smirked. She had neglected such simple logic, showing how her concern for the matter made her unable to think straight.

  The tiny black-lit person's face immediately turned sullen as it angrily said, "Are you kidding me? Fine, you silly dog, have recognized a human as your master, then you are no longer fit to be Sire's sacred pet. Die, and return your willpower to Sire!"

  The moment the tiny black-lit person's words faded, it opened its mouth. A tiny hole darker than the darkness appeared in its throat like a black hole. A strong attractive pull struck the white dog.

  As the ground began to rupture, rocks began to be torn apart into fragments. Winds howled as stones began swirling around like they were in a vortex towards the tiny black-lit person's mouth. In the sky, clouds began to move at an astonishing speed, as though they were trying to escape the terrifying pull, but instantly they dissipated, and flowed towards the darkness like water.

  The white dog yelped, but it did not have the strength to struggle against the tiny black-lit person's pull. The struggle its four limbs did was useless as though it was being washed away by turbulent rapids.

  A beam of light bloomed as the white dog's body was wrapped in light, as the the surging attractive force came to a halt. The white dog whined and hurriedly ran backwards. The way it was flailing its limbs in mid-air looked rather adorable.

  The white dog fled behind Shi Xiaobai, and produced a low whine, like a frightened child.

  The tiny black-lit person seemed determined to kill the white dog and began taking a deep breath in the direction of Shi Xiaobai and the white dog.

  Its mouth could devour the heavens and earth, and with it taking a deep breath, the attractive forces would definitely be extremely terrifying.

  Unfortunately, Kali was just beside.

  "Courting death?" Kali sneered.

  Did Gluttony think that she did not exist? Or was its brain screwed up after being kicked by a donkey?

  It was a suicide to attack Shi Xiaobai in front of her!

  Kali had repeatedly felt the apprehension of a possible truth, leaving her in quite a bad mood. Seeing the tiny black-lit person acting madly, she did not hold back any more.

  Kali stretched out her slender hands, and her jade-like finger tapped in mid-air, as a small beam of light the size of a needle shot towards the tiny black-lit person.

  Wherever the light passed, darkness dissipated. The terrifying attractive force was instantly dispelled, and the tiny black-lit person was wrapped within the light.

  "Ah!"

  The tiny black-lit person screamed as the black light that covered it dissipated. Beams of light began to pierce through its thin, wizened and ugly body like needles.

  The tiny black-lit person's screams continued as the white dog peeked its head out from behind Shi Xiaobai. Its eyes were filled with a struggle. It's instinct made it want to plead for the tiny black-lit person, but its intelligence was only that of a three-year-old. Having nearly been devoured by the tiny black-lit person, the horror it had experienced made it momentarily at a loss.

  "Foolish pixie. The day of the Sire's awakening is the day of your regret!"

  The tiny black-lit person cursed in a tragic scream. They were both at the Psionic Mortal Realm, but its strength had yet to be fully restored. In terms of means and power, the gap between Kali and it was just too large.

  The light began to stab into the tiny black-lit person's body, like needles stabbing into a voodoo doll.

  Kali had a cold expression. Gluttony had devoured countless humans in the past three calamities and so it had committed atrocious crimes. If not for hopes for fishing for bigger fish, Kali would have killed it a long time ago.

  Now, having discovered Gluttony constantly making her feel apprehensive, nearly making her mistaken Shi Xiaobai as the Original Sin of Calamity, she decided to kill it to cheer herself up.

  Kali decided not to hold back. With another tap of her finger, a golden beam of light shot out like an arrow, instantly penetrating the tiny black-lit person's chest.

  The tiny black-lit person's body suddenly began to swell like a constantly inflating balloon.

  "Sire, here I come... Hahahaha..."

  The tiny black-lit person suddenly guffawed with its head up right before its death. Its laughter did not sound like it was filled with indignation, instead, it had the inkling that its plan had worked.

  Kali fell silent. Gluttony's actions were clearly courting death.

  Could it be...that its goal was to commit suicide?

  "Boom!"

  An explosion echoed as the inflated tiny black-lit person exploded, blasting into pieces. Instantly, it swirled into the light and vanished into nothingness.

  Gluttony had fallen!

  The white dog whimpered and lowered its head, as though it was feeling upset.

  Shi Xiaobai watched the scene of the tiny black-lit person dying. For some reason, this was clearly the first time he was seeing the tiny black-lit person and was unhappy with the tiny black-lit person's rampant attitude, but he felt a baffling sense of grief when he saw the tiny black-lit person die.

  Just his imagination?

  Shi Xiaobai shook his head and repressed the strange feeling. He reached his hands out and ruffled the white dog's head before keeping it back into the golden ball.

  Kali turned around and glanced at Shi Xiaobai, feeling a stone roll off her heart.

  Shi Xiaobai was not the Original Sin of Calamity, if not Gluttony would not have been so overbearing with its words when talking to Shi Xiaobai, willing to attack him even at the cost of its life.

  Although Shi Xiaobai's experiences were somewhat unique, the kind and upright him definitely could not be the Original Sin of Calamity that was attempting to destroy the world.

  Kali was relieved and immediately thought of something. She hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Xiaobai, it's almost time for me to leave."

  Shi Xiaobai was slightly taken aback. He understood a moment later that Kali was not a trial-taker. Indeed, there was no reason for her to stay in the trials. Furthermore, if she were to stay by his side, the following trials would become overly simple because of her existence.

  Shi Xiaobai fell silent for a moment but did not retain her. After all, the trial was about to end soon, so it wasn't like they were short for time. He said with a nod, "Alright, let us meet outside."

  Kali gave a gentle smile. Walking towards Shi Xiaobai, she hugged him in a very natural manner.

  In fact, Kali still wanted to accompany Shi Xiaobai to engage in more escapades, even if she just watched by the side. However, when Shi Xiaobai was unconscious, the assessment program's central computer took the initiative to look for her.

  The assessment central program put forth a peace agreement. The agreement allowed Shi Xiaobai to pass the sixth level unconditionally, and Kali agreed to leave herself after Shi Xiaobai recovered.

  There were only seven dragons. Four were already dead. Although the fifth dragon had been deliberately hidden by Kali, the assessment program quickly discovered this and recreated a new dragon.

  Kali was unable to determine when Shi Xiaobai would wake up. If all the dragons were killed before Shi Xiaobai woke up, Shi Xiaobai would automatically be deemed eliminated.

  Kali had no choice but to agree to the assessment program's concession. By leaving the trial, Shi Xiaobai would unconditionally clear the sixth level.

  "When you come out, I'll look for you." Kali whispered into Shi Xiaobai's ear.

  Shi Xiaobai nodded and said, "Alright, you are free to find me anytime."

  "Really?
" Kali chuckled, "Even...when sleeping and bathing?"

  Shi Xiaobai was surprised and was at a loss as to how to respond.

  Kali laughed and as her cheeks blushed, she suddenly forced a kiss on Shi Xiaobai's cheek. Releasing her hand, she walked into the light.

  She was as cool as ever, and it was also the best way to hide the sadness of their temporary parting.

  As Shi Xiaobai watched Kali leave, he suddenly realized he had a big problem.

  What was he to do now?

  Typically, wouldn't the assessment program tell him what the rules of the seventh level were?

  Why didn't it say a thing?

  Shi Xiaobai was filled with questions in his head. At this moment, he was located in a beautiful forest, and it was also where a crossroad was.

  Without the assessment program's hints, he did not know what to do for the moment or which direction he should take.

  "Growl..."

  Suddenly, a loud sound resounded in the quiet forest.

  "Growl, growl..."

  The sounds continued incessantly.

  Shi Xiaobai lowered his head in shock. Was this sound coming from his stomach?

  Suddenly, baffling pangs of hunger overwhelmed Shi Xiaobai's entire being.

  That hunger instantly went from a mild state to an intense state. Before Shi Xiaobai could realize what had happened, the intensity made Shi Xiaobai feel like he was close to starving to death.

  "Why is This King suddenly so hungry?"

  Shi Xiaobai was astonished. He began activating Unleaking Turtle Aura, but it could not stop the hunger pangs!

  It was an intense hunger of him not having eaten for months.

  "Food...food... Where is This King's food!?"

  Shi Xiaobai's eyes turned slightly red. The hunger pangs had only begun less than ten seconds ago, but Shi Xiaobai was already nearly fainting from the hunger.

  He only had one thing on his mind.

  Where can food be found?

  Regardless of what it is, This King can eat anything now!
