Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 346: [The End-of-Life Agreement]This item was something he obtained from a level 4 treasure chest he opened not long after entering the Wasteland.
The reason he remembered that treasure chest so vividly was because it contained a fragment of the Blasphemy Card.
That was the first fragment he had ever obtained.
Moreover, this level 4 item, due to its effect of blocking one fatal attack, had been worn on his person ever since, never leaving him.
Until now, Ye Qiyan had never considered using Sublimation on this bracelet.
The reason was simple.
Ye Qiyan did not want to alter the bracelet's ability.
However, now, with the Overcomer's Death Refusal serving as its superior ability, it was possible to perform Sublimation on it.
After Sublimation, it could be used as the vessel for the Pseudo·Death Refusal effect.
In other words, Pseudo·Death Refusal could coexist with its original ability.
"Let's begin."
He removed the bracelet.
A wisp of azure light flowed from Ye Qiyan's fingertip and attached itself to the bracelet.
It coiled around it like an elegant blue serpent.
A strange feeling...
It was just a level 4 item.
Yet, the moment his talent activated, everything about it began to shatter and reassemble.
Extreme Sublimation?
Why would this happen with just a level 4 item?
Furthermore, Ye Qiyan could feel that the state of this bracelet during Sublimation was almost identical to when that sharp little knife sublimated into the Eternal Cutter.
Shattering... reassembling... over and over again.
It offered no resistance.
There was no strange negation.
Its Sublimation seemed to be autonomously seeking the optimal solution.
Boom——
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky.
White Snow City Central Command Research Institute.
Anjie, looking at the various information on the large screen, abruptly changed her expression.
"How is this possible?"
"This area just experienced a Cataclysm a few days ago, why is there a Cataclysm reaction again now? And this is... a Thunder Cataclysm?! Why now?"
"Damn it... this cursed world, won't it even give us a moment to catch our breath now?"
The faces of everyone in the research institute were filled with despair.
Their gazes fell on Anjie, waiting for her to make a decision that likely wouldn't be effective anyway.
"...Hah... No matter what, we have to try. Even if it's a Thunder Cataclysm from which no one has ever escaped..."
Anjie bit her lip, her heart brimming with resentment.
"Start the engines! We're getting out of here!"
Rumble——
This time, the roar didn't come from the sky.
It came from the city itself, this place called White Snow City, as it began to transform.
The massive city was slowly lifted by an even more colossal mechanical beast.
Roar——
The beast let out a howl.
The caterpillar tracks supporting it beneath began to gradually accelerate.
Special tracks resembling train rails materialized in front of it.
Following these tracks, the mechanical beast began moving towards the safe zone calculated by the White Snow City Research Institute.
"What's happening outside?"
Still in the midst of Sublimation, Ye Qiyan looked outside in confusion.
The soldiers responsible for protecting this place, no matter how resilient they were, now displayed varying degrees of despair.
One soldier heard his voice. Perhaps because of the magnanimity and trust Ye Qiyan had displayed earlier, even in such a situation, the soldier still walked over, forcing a strained smile as he explained:
"Mr. Ye, White Snow City's City Beast has been activated. You've probably been to many cities, but our White Snow City's Beast is among the fastest and most defensively powerful."
"But... I heard this time, it's a Thunder Cataclysm... I really don't understand. After previous Cataclysms, there was always a period of respite, but this time..."
"No one has ever survived a Thunder Cataclysm... No, maybe it's just that other cities weren't fast enough. We... we..."
His words trailed off there.
Thunder Cataclysm.
Its timing.
Was truly quite coincidental.
Ye Qiyan silently glanced at the Safety Bracelet in his hand, still shattering and reassembling.
"It probably... isn't related, right?"
The beast charged forward. Its speed, aided by the special tracks beneath it, was astonishingly fast.
Although it couldn't match Ye Qiyan's Train in Overdrive mode, it was significantly faster than a level 11 Train in its normal state.
However.
This Cataclysm named "Thunder" enveloped the sky in an instant.
The oppressive, endless black clouds made it hard to breathe.
Someone started crying.
Then, within the city, sorrow, pain, despair...
All sorts of negative emotions mingled together, forming a painful melody.
Boom——!
The first bolt of lightning struck down.
Second, third... countless bolts of thunder followed in succession.
For some reason, Ye Qiyan felt that this Cataclysm named "Thunder"...
Seemed...
Somewhat familiar?
Thunderstorm?
Hmm?
This Cataclysm bore an extreme resemblance to the special weather phenomenon he had experienced before in the Wasteland.
"Thunderstorm"
It was extremely similar!
Although, judging by the scale, this one here was much smaller than the one in the Wasteland.
"......"
Ding-ling~
A clear, melodious chime pulled Ye Qiyan's consciousness back from his thoughts.
He lowered his gaze.
Now, resting in his palm was a white bracelet.
The Safety Bracelet had completed its final reassembly. Its Sublimation had concluded.
【Spirit: 240→122】
A purely spiritual consumption. This Sublimation did not use Stamina.
It wasn't that he didn't want to use it, but this bracelet was rejecting Stamina.
【Life's End Protocol】
【When worn, automatically blocks all damage upon receiving a fatal injury. Charges: 3/3】
【After consuming a charge, returns the fatal damage received during that instance to the attacker with 100% potency. This damage does not decay. Furthermore, activates Causality Law: this damage is guaranteed to hit!】
It went from one charge to three.
And it gained an ability to reflect damage with 100% potency.
"This is really strange. It's just a level 4 item, why did it trigger Extreme Sublimation? Besides... it wasn't without potential itself?"
Ye Qiyan pondered briefly.
If he had to pinpoint the biggest difference between this Safety Bracelet and other ordinary items, it would be this:
From the moment it appeared, it had been worn on his person, never leaving him except when bathing.
Could that be the reason?
"The outcome is good, regardless."
"But..."
Ye Qiyan's gaze lifted upwards.
Within those oppressive black clouds.
Countless bolts of lightning rained down madly.
Rain accompanying the thunder washed over White Snow City's walls.
On them, the black traces gradually faded.
Revealing the originally pristine, flawless color beneath.
This world.
Had seemingly transformed into a domain of thunder.
There was no escape.
They could only try to flee the range of the Thunder Cataclysm before the Protective Barrier was completely shattered.
