Applause rang out in the old room, followed by a pleased sigh of admiration:
"Splendid, truly splendid. People trapped in desperation encouraging each other, unaware that the only outcome is helplessness and death."
Cristoforo narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth curving into an arc:
"Now their emotions have reached the closest moment, but unfortunately... as they gradually discover there is no way out, will they turn against each other again? I'm really looking forward to it."
The scenes projected by the script moved rapidly—it was Noah and Carlotta working hard to make up for the previous failures with victory after victory.
Sometimes they used the immensely powerful nuclear explosion camellia bloom, sometimes golden sword light, sometimes a long spear made of opal crystals...
This heavy rain that had poured in Carlotta's heart for ten years was now being cleared in various wild ways.
Cristoforo smiled as he watched Noah use all sorts of abilities to win, then with a thought, invoked the fusion authority of the Threnodian Leviathan to erase the corresponding Resonance abilities.
"The abilities he's using are getting weaker. The latest one he showed seems to be some kind of healing ability?"
Phrolova furrowed her brows.
Why... why hasn't Noah used the script she gave him yet?
It shouldn't be like this. The frequency disguise she covered on the surface of the script should automatically disappear after a certain time.
As long as he read the fable she wrote on it, he should definitely figure out the core method to break Cristoforo's script.
Could it be that she wrote it too subtly, and he didn't understand?
All he needed to do was tear the script to jump out of Cristoforo's script...
Could he not have brought the script?!
Thinking of this possibility, Phrolova felt somewhat uneasy and asked for more information:
"What principle allows you to prevent Noah from using his own abilities? Why didn't you use it in the last script?"
"Since you've sincerely asked, I'll mercifully tell you."
In a great mood, Cristoforo spoke proudly, as if showing off his medal:
"As I said before, everything in Solaris is composed of frequencies. In my script world, each person's Resonance ability is like paint of different colors, unique from one another."
"With the Threnodian Leviathan's fusion authority, I can permanently pollute, discolor, or strip the original properties of any selected 'paint' color within the script."
"Noah has already run out of tricks. Soon he'll lose all his abilities, and then... hehe."
Cristoforo didn't say more; the implication in his words needed no explanation.
Phrolova's gaze darkened slightly. Looking at the figure in the projection who was barely winning with healing abilities, she asked again:
"If they win the remaining rounds? Will your script give them an exit?"
"Heh? An exit?"
Cristoforo sneered coldly, his face suddenly turning grim as he growled fiercely:
"Not even a door!"
"He can only stay here, under my control for life!"
"I'll return the humiliation he brought me tenfold, a hundredfold! If I let him live, he'll beg for death but can't have it! If I let him die, he won't get to linger!"
The script flipped open. Cristoforo was about to pollute the frequency color Noah had just displayed, but suddenly discovered that on the pure white pages, a streak of ultimate black had appeared.
In an instant, Cristoforo stood up in horror. The 'god' who prided himself on controlling everything became flustered at this moment, cold sweat pouring out in sheets.
Black... black?!
How could black... be polluted into another color?
Cristoforo suddenly realized—his script had lost control!
That streak of ultimate black was like a tiny spark falling into a vast forest in the dry monsoon season. In the blink of an eye, it ignited raging flames, spreading barbarically and madly, burning faster and faster until it consumed the entire script.

"I'm sorry, Tall Chestnut."
Carlotta gripped the gun in her hand tightly and bowed deeply to Noah.
As victories became increasingly difficult, she knew Noah had fewer and fewer powerful abilities available. In the last round, they had nearly failed to win.
But... they were still twenty victories short of catching up to her previous thirty-two failures.
Perhaps they really couldn't leave this false world... It was her fault that he had fallen into the trap too.
Endless guilt nearly swallowed Carlotta whole.
"Maybe we really can't leave here. I'm sorry."
"So that's what you were worrying about, Little Potato."
Noah helped Carlotta up, glanced at the additional 9600 Astrite in his backpack, and smiled calmly:
"I've had enough fun anyway. I'll take you out right now."
Hearing this, Carlotta looked up, her face full of disbelief:
"But... we didn't win enough of the thirty-two rounds, and we can't find the way out at all."
In response, she received a confident statement:
"As long as I want to leave, the path is beneath my feet!"
Switch character—Rover (Havoc).
A half-pitch-black wing unfolded from behind Noah. The ultimate Havoc power transformed the Emerald of Genesis in his hand into an ink-black scythe, like claws nurtured by the night.
"Feather Transformation—Havoc Eclipse!"
The ultimate Havoc authority slashed out a dark blade light with the swing of the scythe.
The dark blade light grew in the wind, like a greedy maw devouring everything in sight, twisting and deforming the nearby space.
Even places not hit by the slash showed cracks like fragile glass.
The cracks expanded rapidly, spreading across everything in sight in an instant.
With just one strike, this illusory Sonoro Sphere space became unsteady, as if it would completely collapse in the next second.
The Havoc power from Rover, at full strength, could even slice through black holes. Destroying this already unstable space was as easy as pie.
At the same time, Carlotta's black-and-white copy let out an incredulous wail:
"No! How is this possible!!!"
As this space neared destruction, cracks synchronously appeared on her body. Finally, she shattered completely like a mirror lens, turning into dust on the ground.
Fragments of the distant horizon crumbled, revealing the true entrance to this Sonoro Sphere space.
Noah didn't spare much attention to the catastrophic collapse of this world. Instead, he extended his hand to Carlotta:
"Hold my hand tight. I'll take you out of here."
"Okay!"
Carlotta grasped that hand firmly. In the next instant, Noah's half-wing flapped, carrying Carlotta leaping into the sky.
The two unfolded their gliding wings in mid-air, flying toward the end of this madly collapsing and shattering world.
Specks of Sonoro Sphere energy like scattered powder were drawn by their flight path, trailing long meteor-like tails behind them—resembling polar auroras, like indescribable works of art.
Perhaps many years later, Carlotta would suddenly realize: when young, one should not meet someone too stunning.
Because that would mean everyone encountered for the rest of life would be merely ordinary.
Some people are like the white moonlight by the bed, the crimson mole on the chest—hard to say what's so good about them, but no one else can replace them.

On the other side, in the old house, the script on the table, thoroughly dyed by ultimate black, began to tremble wildly.
"Not good—the script is going to explode!"
Cristoforo and Phrolova evacuated the house at the fastest speed. Almost the moment they stepped out, a violent explosion sounded behind them. The entire small building collapsed with a boom, raising large clouds of dust.
"Cough cough..."
Amid the dust, two figures stumbled out. Cristoforo gritted his teeth tightly, watching this last stronghold destroyed, burning with rage:
"Failed again! Failed again! Leviathan, it's all because your ability is too weak—you useless thing!"
