Chapter 263: The Conclusion
Chapter 263: The Conclusion
Finally, it's over...
Holding onto the princess, who was in a state of intoxication, he performed a dramatic kidnapping scene, declaring, "I'm taking her with me today, who dares to stop me?" After carrying her back to the small town of Ankara, and sharing an embrace amidst the transplanted rose garden, Leon successfully completed the four-act play and finally escaped the altered 'The Twelve-Day Tour'.
But just as his soul returned to his body from the dramatic world, before he could check on the princess and the other audience members, a chilling scream echoed from the central stage.
"It hurts so much! Help! Leon! Come and save me!"
"Don't worry, you're safe."
Carrying the still-unconscious princess from the exit passage, Leon placed her in a seat at the back of the theater. He quickly made his way around the back rows and glanced at the situation on stage, following the cries.
On the stage, aside from the actors lying sprawled across the floor, there was only one person and one sheep engaged in a fierce fight. The situation was similar to what he had predicted earlier. Although the Black Sheep appeared to be on the receiving end of the beating, aside from a few tooth marks on its face, it was in no real danger.
As for how he knew the Black Sheep wasn't in danger... it was simply a matter of mathematics.
As his own anomaly, the Black Sheep's maximum output power was limited by Leon's Immersion Value. Despite having an Immersion Value of 8, Leon's current Immersion Value was only 4.7, restricting the Black Sheep to the same level.
At its peak, the Immersion Value of the King of Drama reached an astonishing 16, almost equivalent to the Power of Two Sheep. However, when three-quarters of the audience in the Dramatic World turned against him, the King of Drama, who was one with the world, was also severely weakened, leaving him with less than two and a half points of control.
16 x 0.25 equals 4, a mere half-sheep power. The Black Sheep, with an Immersion Value of 4.7, was even superior. Furthermore, it lacked any soul-attacking abilities, rendering it weaponless, and could only punch the Black Sheep, who couldn't fight back.
So, despite the intense appearance of their fight, they were like two starving patients pulling at each other's shoelaces in the air. Even if they fought for a day, they wouldn't cause any serious harm, not even able to achieve mutual destruction.
In short—you two, stop fighting. This kind of fighting won't kill anyone~
...
"You... it's you! It's all because of you!"
Seeing that Leon had escaped from the Dramatic World, the King of Drama, having finally found the main culprit, abandoned his attack on the Black Sheep and leaped off the stage. Like a bull charging at a red cloth, his eyes burning with rage, he rushed towards Leon...
...only to be pinned to the ground by the willpower of the Holy Spirit Pendant.
"Master Wilde... or should I say, the out-of-control King of Drama, your performance is over."
With the air of a police officer who had just captured a fugitive, Leon solemnly declared the capture of the King of Drama. He then summoned the Black Sheep and, using its soul vision, scanned the entire Central Cross Theater, quickly checking on the souls of the three thousand audience members.
Perfect! Aside from a few unlucky souls whose heads bumped into chair armrests while their souls were out of their bodies, no one was injured in this anomaly control incident. A flawless resolution!
Satisfied, Leon nodded and borrowed a rope from Yuhua to tie up the King of Drama, who was still struggling on the ground. He also stuffed an old handkerchief into his mouth and, using the power of the Holy Spirit Pendant, lifted him up and carried him towards the back of the theater.
"Hmm? Did I... fall asleep?"
After being awakened by Leon, the princess slowly synchronized her soul with her body. She sat up in her chair, her hand on her forehead, and suddenly frowned, vaguely recalling the events before she 'fell asleep'. Her eyes filled with urgency as she asked:
"Leon! Did something happen while I was unconscious?"
Master Wilde... Um... You've captured him?"
So... you don't have any memories from the Drama World?
Princess Veronica stared at the "Master Wilde" who was tied up like a dumpling, her face filled with disbelief. Leon couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, in order to deal with the King of Drama, he had done many embarrassing things in the Drama World. If anyone remembered those incidents, it would be a huge black mark on his record. It was better that they were all forgotten.
As for why the "Agatha" at the wedding had called out his real name... At that time, the [King of Drama] had lost more than seventy percent of his strength, and it was estimated that he could no longer maintain the stability of the Drama World, leading to certain loopholes.
Not only did the Princess know about the existence of anomalies, but she had also personally experienced several anomaly attacks. She should have a certain loopholes appeared.
Not only did the Princess know about the existence of anomalies, but she had also personally experienced several anomaly attacks. She should have a certain level of Immersion Value, and it was understandable that she would wake up early in the event of a Drama World malfunction.
"Don't worry, this anomaly outbreak has been perfectly resolved."
After helping the Princess, whose soul was still not fully in control of her body, Leon explained, "The real Master Wilde passed away three years ago. The 'Master Wilde' you saw was actually an anomaly that replaced the master's soul after his departure, continuing to control this body until now.
As for just now, this anomaly, which was on the verge of losing control, was provoked and enraged by the drama critic in the front row. It pulled everyone in the theater into the Drama World. Then I found a way to break its control over the Drama World..."
Leon briefly explained the situation, intentionally skipping over what happened in the Drama World. He turned to the Princess, who now had a look of realization, and said, "Princess Veronica, the Purification Bureau's memory modification should have already started to take effect. When these audience members wake up, their related memories will also be rationalized. But there are two small matters that I need your help with right now."
The Princess shook her head and pouted slightly, a hint of unhappiness in her voice. "You don't need to explain, Leon. Just tell me what you need me to do, and I'll do it. And please, call me by my name from now on, okay?"
"Um... Alright."
Leon hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "It'll take about one or two hours for the people in the theater to wake up. In the meantime, could you please assign someone to take care of them to prevent any further trouble and potential injuries?
As for the second matter, Veronica, I'd like to borrow your carriage and driver to send me and this 'Master Wilde' back to the Virgin Bureau as soon as possible."
"No problem!"
Hearing Leon finally call her by her name again, the Princess couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. She replied, "I'll take care of these audience members, and the carriage we came in should still be outside. You can just go ahead and use it."
"Then I'll be on my way."
Seeing that the Princess didn't seem to have any intention of leaving with him, Leon, who had official duties to attend to, didn't say anything more. He simply bid farewell and hurried off.
After seeing Leon off at the theater entrance and watching him get into the carriage with a smile, Princess Veronica, who had just been calm a moment ago, suddenly let out a sigh of relief. She pressed her hand against her racing heart and lightly touched her flushed cheeks. Amid the sound of her heart beating like a drum, she sighed with resignation.
This guy... How could anyone stand it?
