Chapter 030: Return

It was true that Wang Bo had killed Holt, but he had only killed the Holt of this particular point in time.

Ever since searching Holt's memory, Wang Bo had gained a deep understanding of Holt's haunts; he knew exactly when Holt did what.

And as it happened, Wang Bo had the Moonlight Box in his possession.

He could travel through time and go back to find the Holt of the past.

Since this bastard started causing trouble, the number of humans who had died directly or indirectly at his hands exceeded one hundred thousand, and those he had devoured numbered over ten thousand.

That was a blood debt.

Wang Bo certainly wouldn't let it go with killing him just once.

So Wang Bo used the Moonlight Box to return to a day earlier, found Holt still writing his blackmail letter, walked up and slapped him, sending Holt flying.

Holt was shocked and furious. At this moment, he didn't know Wang Bo or who he was, but one thing was certain: the man who had rushed up and slapped him was an enemy.

"You're asking for death!!!"

Enraged, Holt did not hesitate to reveal his demonic true form, intending to kill Wang Bo.

But unfortunately, after crossing into this world and devouring the souls of over ten thousand humans, Holt still hadn't recovered to his peak level—perhaps only about forty percent.

So he was no match for Wang Bo.

Of course, even if he had recovered all his strength, he still wouldn't be a match for Wang Bo, since Wang Bo's current power was very close to that of a deity.

After making his move, Wang Bo transported Holt to the desert and began another round of brutal beating.

At first, Holt could still put up a semblance of a counterattack, but as his magic power was depleted, he was completely finished. After thoroughly thrashing Holt, Wang Bo crushed his head with a stomp.

Having killed Holt a second time, Wang Bo was still not satisfied. Mainly because this guy had entered the human world and behaved so atrociously, causing one tragedy after another—family disasters and human suffering.

Wang Bo had witnessed all of this, so his heart was filled with a blaze of anger.

Thus, even after killing Holt twice, Wang Bo was still not appeased. He went back to a week earlier, found Holt, and beat him a third time.

Finally, Wang Bo snatched the greatsword formed from solidified magic from Holt's hand, cut off Holt's head, and chopped his body to pieces.

Then came the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh times...

Wang Bo had originally thought that, having seen Holt's deeds, he could kill him dozens or hundreds of times without flinching, his heart full of rage.

But the truth was, after killing Holt the eighth time, Wang Bo began to feel a bit weary.

Unconsciously, the flames of anger in his heart had already dissipated.

When he looked into Holt's eyes for the eighth time—eyes that refused to close in death—he ultimately did not kill Holt a ninth time. Instead, he used the Moonlight Box to return to the day Holt had crossed over.

Egypt, Cairo Museum.

Wang Bo, dressed in casual clothes, mingled among the visitors and arrived at the exhibition area of Thutmose III.

He checked the time; before long, Holt would arrive in this world.

Wang Bo snapped his fingers. Magic power surged, and a strange wave radiated outward from him, instantly sweeping through the exhibition hall.

He planted a suggestion, telling everyone present that the exhibition hall was closed for repairs today and asking them all to leave.

After receiving this hint, the crowd began to swarm out. Groups of three or five quickly left the exhibition hall, and before long, apart from Wang Bo, the entire hall was empty.

Not long after, a heavy breathing sound came from Thutmose III's coffin.

Wang Bo stepped forward, opened the coffin, and saw Holt.

This guy had come after all.

Without waiting for Holt to react, Wang Bo grabbed him and pulled him out of Thutmose III's coffin.

Having just crossed over, Holt was already at the end of his rope, his strength reduced to less than a tenth, no match for Wang Bo. He could only watch helplessly as Wang Bo lifted him up.

"Let... let me go!" He tried to struggle, but Wang Bo slapped him unconscious. Wang Bo never showed any mercy to this guy, after all, he was a demon, not a human.

Killing a demon gave Wang Bo no pressure at all.

Then, Wang Bo contacted the artifact and sent Holt back.

Wang Bo believed that the group of demons in hell tasked with capturing Holt must still be lurking nearby. Once Holt returned and was discovered by them, he would surely die.

So Wang Bo considered this as avenging the humans who had sacrificed.

Of course, since Holt had just crossed over and was sent back by him, it meant the future had been rewritten. The fates of those who had died because of Holt had been altered.

Wang Bo believed everything was turning for the better. At least in this disaster-ridden world, not too many people would die, and most could survive.

[Congratulations, host, you have received a lottery draw.]

Wang Bo was already immune to such congratulations and asked skillfully, "Are there any other travelers in this world?"

[No.]

"So, Holt is the only traveler?" Wang Bo was quite surprised.

[Yes.]

"Let's draw." Since Holt was the only traveler, Wang Bo decisively drew the lottery. As the saying goes, a single draw can bring a miracle; he was sure to get one.

At least Wang Bo believed so.

[Congratulations, host. The prize you have drawn this time is the World Gate.]

Wang Bo's heart trembled, and he asked cautiously, "I want to ask, which world does this World Gate belong to, and what exactly does it do?"

He had a feeling he had gotten something good this time.

[The World Gate is a magical artifact from the Wizard World, capable of freely traveling between two worlds.]

Wang Bo's eyes lit up, and he said, "So, I can return to the Di Renjie world?" To be honest, having been away for so long, Wang Bo was almost forgetting the faces of Yue and Yushu.

They were the first women he had known and the ones he had never stopped thinking about.

If he had a chance to go back, Wang Bo would not hesitate.

[Unfortunately, that is impossible.]

"Why! Tell me why!!!" The hope shattered too quickly, and Wang Bo lost control.

[The World Gate can freely travel between two worlds, but you must have the coordinates of both worlds. So far, you only have the coordinates of the current world.]

"Then when can I return to the Di Renjie world?" After taking a few deep breaths, Wang Bo finally calmed down and asked the question he most wanted the answer to.
