The new Demon Card was right before his eyes.

The image on it depicted a demon holding a knife and fork, its mouth stuffed full of food.

In fact, if the owner of a card sequence dies, it will randomly regenerate an altar in some hidden corner of any station world, waiting for the next master to arrive.

Unless.

The killer also possesses the same type of card sequence.

But obviously, Ye Qiyan possessed the Demon Card, so it couldn't escape.

"Let me see what exactly you are, hmm?"

He reached out his hand.

The moment he touched it.

The Demon Card trembled violently, actually resisting Ye Qiyan.

Countless dark green viscous liquids surged out from it.

The Wandering Star Holy Sigil automatically activated, blocking the liquid outside.

It was resisting.

Rejecting.

Escaping?

This Demon Card actually possessed self-awareness?

It was now completely submerged in the viscous liquid and couldn't be found.

Everything around it was being devoured.

The ground, stones, metal...

This entire station world seemed like it would be completely eaten clean.

If this continued, eventually there would be no place for Ye Qiyan to stand on this land.

This thing was forcing people to leave?

On the light screen before Ye Qiyan's eyes.

The moment he touched it.

The system had already completed its appraisal.

The information of this Demon Card was fully revealed on it.

【Demon Card·Gluttony】

【Gluttony: Eat everything!】

【Demon: Spit everything out!】

The described ability was only these eight words, but Ye Qiyan completely understood what this ability meant.

Things it devoured would be transformed and re-emitted in the form of being spit out.

This ability was very simple, but indeed, very powerful.

Just like that humanoid demon that was just killed by The Hunt's projectile, probably this thing had eaten an empty shell at some point, or perhaps, some fragments?

"You don't want to become mine?"

The Hunt carried Ye Qiyan into the sky again, leaving the range of the viscous liquid.

The green viscous liquid was madly spreading in all directions.

Growing faster and larger than when it was controlled before.

Ye Qiyan returned to the vicinity of his train one step ahead.

Lisette, Eve, and the Raven demon had already gathered here.

The power of the Train Armament·Wealth Protective Barrier couldn't even be broken by those black liquids from the previous Forward Station.

Now, the Gluttony Demon was the same.

"Can we leave the station?"

The train system's light screen already displayed the option to leave the station.

The lock had disappeared.

As long as he spent twenty Train Coins, he could leave directly.

Which meant the mission for this station wasn't completed yet.

And...

Leave now?

Abandon the card sequence he worked so hard to almost obtain?

It wasn't a life-or-death crisis anyway.

Why should he leave?

"You like to eat?"

"Hmph."

"Then eat your fill."

"Eve!"

The treatment compartment opened.

All the Cursed Dark Nether Fruits were taken out.

Ye Qiyan held them in his arms.

Looking at the green viscous liquid outside the Wealth Protective Barrier, he threw them all out.

【Cursed Dark Nether Fruit】

【After consumption, reduces recovery speed of physical strength and spirit, permanently reduces resistance to illusions, and has a probability of falling into a cursed state, permanently lowering maximum spirit power】

Having been in this world for so long, Ye Qiyan had already understood one truth.

When an existence has no physical body.

Its form of existence must be spiritual.

Spirit also represents consciousness.

Whether this thing's viscous liquid counts as a physical body or not, since it has self-awareness.

It would absolutely be affected by this Dark Nether Fruit!

Gulu gulu gulu—!

The Dark Nether Fruits fell into the viscous liquid.

It seemed like nothing happened?

But just a few seconds later.

"Roar—!"

It began to contract like ignited plastic.

It emitted sounds of pain, the viscous liquid churning and surging continuously.

Finally forming a giant green slime.

Its spirit power had dropped who knows how much under the effect of so many Dark Nether Fruits.

Now, it was completely in an almost insane state.

"This is its true form? A... slime?"

Ye Qiyan looked at the madly surging slime and chuckled lightly.

Then, he took out the only Demon Card sequence that hadn't been used until now.

"Been waiting impatiently, right~"

"Red Tears."

"Come out."

The demon girl walked out from the card sequence.

She silently stood by Ye Qiyan's side, gazing at her master.

Though she didn't speak, it felt like she was asking, why did you only summon me now?

"See that?"

Red Tears' gaze followed his pointing finger.

"Go."

"Draw your sword."

"Kill it."

Without stopping, without hesitation.

The Tear-Engraving Sword slowly left its sheath.

As if sensing some kind of primal fear.

The Gluttony Demon that had been writhing in pain suddenly stopped, and upon seeing Red Tears, let out a roar mixed with anger and fear.

Then, it actually charged toward them.

Indeed...

Just like when he obtained Red Tears before.

The demons.

Feared her.

It began to rain.

A red rain.

【Tear-Engraving Sword】

【Re-manifests all attacks from ancient battlefields】

Ye Qiyan drank the mental magic potion that Menrojina had given him.

Though it only restored a small 30 points.

But.

It was enough.

【Spirit: 62】

"Eh? This magic potion is actually sweet."

Once again, the girl took Ye Qiyan's hand.

"Together again?"

She didn't speak, but her eyes hidden beneath the hood met his, as if saying everything.

"Alright, then..."

Ye Qiyan gripped the Tear-Engraving Sword in return.

At the same time.

The Book of Reality and Illusion hovered before him.

Spirit began to drain.

A purplish-red halo spread outward.

The Gluttony that contacted this halo began to wither.

Battlefield manifestation.

Compared to last time, the manifested phantoms were somewhat smaller.

Was it because of insufficient spirit power?

But, it didn't matter.

One figure after another flashed by continuously.

The tip of the Tear-Engraving Sword finally settled on one person.

That person's figure was absorbed by the blade.

Invisible ripples appeared on the blade.

The sky was shedding tears.

The earth was bleeding.

"Caw—caw—!"

The ravens were announcing death for the demon.

Bewitchment, Arrogance~

They were whispering silently~

War...

Suffering..

Compassion.

The girl was crying.

She raised the sword, and swung it.

A scorching heat wave swept across the Gluttony Demon's body.

Its viscous body evaporated and dissipated.

When it reached before Ye Qiyan.

Only the size of an adult male remained.

Ye Qiyan calmly watched the slime before him.

It no longer roared, fear made it tremble.

That black-red Demon Card·Gluttony was taken out from within it and offered to Ye Qiyan.

Was this submission?

Yes.

But....

Ye Qiyan asked that question to this Gluttony Demon that shouldn't be able to speak.

"You, will you die?"

A demon that would resist, possess self-awareness, fear death?

To let it stay by his side?

Submission?

What a joke...

This was only because of fear.

If one day it encountered something it feared more, what would it do?

Without a doubt.

It would escape, it would betray...

Consciousness? Never important.

Therefore.

The still undissipated heat wave returned from the distance.

The Gluttony Demon.

This dark green slime.

Completely dissipated.

Only leaving behind that black-red Demon Card·Gluttony, falling into Ye Qiyan's palm.

From this moment on.

It would only belong to Ye Qiyan.
