The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 559 - 310 Merlin’s Defense is Broken

Just as expected.

Merlin thought to himself that if An Su dared to love cats yesterday, today he'd dare to love a person.

He tried to escape from An Su's Second Judgment, but time was a cage, locking Merlin and An Su together within the looping second.

In the constant retracing and flipping of time, Merlin could never take the first step down from the staircase, forever cycling between clocking out and clocking in, enjoying the blessings of Heaven endlessly.

Through the analysis of the Pure White Eyes, Merlin was able to observe An Su's Magic Circuit.

The design of this Second Judgment was truly exquisite.

The Holy Light Judgment passed down to An Su, the third generation, had developed increasingly complex variations.

He began to be curious about what An Su's final circuit—the Third Judgment—would look like, what kind of design it would hold. The third circuit was the last and most complex in the Holy Light Judgment magic series, the grand circuit. Only with the third circuit would this Holy Level magic be complete.

Even Magic God Merlin couldn't help but admire the tricky nature of An Su's second circuit.

He indeed hadn't expected that even the elusive and unpredictable time could be included within the branches of Holy Light. The magic of space-time was already the most mysterious and rarest system in all of Nether, and Merlin's research focus just so happened not to be on this field of magic, so he knew very little about it.

Using such rare space-time magic for love, An Su could be considered quite a Divine Man.

Despite this, Merlin had ways to break out of this cage—while the youngster's magic was very delicate, it was still too early to control a God of Law.

The simplest move was to erase the caster along with their soul completely before the time rewound within that second—a feat the Azure Sorceress couldn't achieve, but Merlin could do easily.

Unfortunately, An Su was still a minor, protected by laws for the protection of minors.

And there were witnesses nearby.

Merlin sighed helplessly; he looked at An Su, who was smiling and rewinding time alongside him. Merlin had reason to suspect that An Su was deliberately using this as a pretext to act unrestrained.

Damn it, he just wanted to clock out.

"You little brat, you damn well won," he said with a face full of dark lines, "What a petty grudge-bearer you are, and still pretending to be tough... It's just some arrangements around you... Does it mean that I can't even clock out?"

And then he goes and says something like 'I'm just making the game more fun,' making even Merlin, the eternal virgin, laugh.

Merlin didn't even need to think about it; he could guess what An Su's next words would be. Probably something like 'You've misunderstood completely,' 'This is all for my benefit,' 'She's just a power bank'—nothing original.

"You're right," An Su said, staring into Merlin's Pure White Eyes with the autumn light becoming stagnant as time rewound, and the steps of Heaven's Light Staircase were filled with glittering ripples on the clouds. The orange autumn wind scattered the clouds in the slanted rays of the sunset, and the world's colors were fragmented by the flying clouds and blinding sunlight. Watching Merlin with cyan eyes, he earnestly continued, "It's just because of this."

"I've told you before," he said, "I love everyone now—but I love most those who can stay by my side."

Ah—

What?

Panic-stricken voices stumbled into his ears, even though An Su couldn't see them.

He only heard the rustling sound of the snow-white long hair on his side, the evening breeze playing melodies as it brushed through the hair. The snow-white bare feet were a little panicked, 'pattering' up the steps, almost tripping, and the gentle thumping of the heart and slightly anxious breathing released pale white mist into the air, along with a whimper as cute as a small animal.

"Uh." Luoja averted his gaze, turning his face away, no longer daring to look at An Su's face.

"Mr. Merlin," said An Su, staring at Merlin, "the game you designed isn't fun at all. It's just a boring mess. I'm not an NPC in the game, and neither is Luoja Fast."

"You... you," Merlin widened his eyes, filled with doubt.

"The Blessed Son would not lie."

Only then did Merlin remember An Su's moral standards were totally inverted by his Crown Title!

Merlin never imagined he would one day be morally condemned by An Su of all people, and what was most confounding was that he found no grounds to argue back... his fear of An Su deepened.

Suddenly, he found himself at the bottom of the moral valley.

"Why are you so surprised?" An Su asked curiously, his every action and word stemming from an inner understanding of lies, tinted with not a trace of malice, his eyes shining with the gleam of humanity, "To be angry for the sake of those close to you... This is just a normal thing for a normal person, not something that should confuse you so. Is it because you have no close ones besides you?"

"Perhaps you have always stayed up in the lofty Heaven, as the great Cardinal, without anyone to open their heart to you. Your subordinates are just your scapegoats, and that's why you question these utterly normal emotions. I can understand your feelings, perhaps you have never experienced youth, you've lost the courage to love and trust amid your day-to-day work, I can understand you."

"You've finally succeeded; you've become the mightiest Magician in Nether. But is it all worth it?"

"But by the time you realize it, you are no longer young; even your hair is gone, so you can only disguise yourself and continue numbing yourself day by day. You always think about clocking out, longing for it, believing that clocking out can solve everything, thinking that it can retrieve what you've lost."
