Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 587: The Palace in the TreesThe speed of the magic airship was not slow. After several hours of flight, passing through the clouds below, all the passengers saw a majestic city standing amidst wind and snow, built atop a massive flat-topped mountain.
"Rumir, we're here. This is the Main City. We can finally become Train Conductors!"
The rooms on the airship had no doors.
Ye Qiyan clearly saw the man named Rumir, Mr. Order, looking at his female companion beside him with a gentle expression.
This gentleness did not seem like an act. Only men and women who had truly experienced solemn vows and mutual affection would possess such a gaze.
"Yes, we will soon become Train Conductors, then leave this world, enter the Wasteland, and carve out our own story."
"Right, Rumir. When the time comes, let's take everyone with us and adventure together in the Wasteland."
Mr. Order held her in his arms, but his gaze suddenly shifted to look towards Ye Qiyan's direction.
"Rumir?"
A flicker of confusion passed through Mr. Order's heart. He inexplicably felt a trace of disgust towards this person sitting inside.
This disgust could not be feigned.
The stronger a person becomes, the more they trust their intuition.
He looked deeply at Ye Qiyan, committing his appearance to memory, then took the woman's hand and walked towards the airship's main door.
Boom—
The airship landed.
Amidst the flowers, cheers, and throngs of people, the champions from various City-States who had performed exceptionally well in the Hunting Military Gathering crossed the Gate of Victory and entered that highest palace.
The victors enjoyed the attention of others.
Until they climbed the six hundred and seventy-two steps of the celestial staircase.
Ye Qiyan's footsteps paused. He stared at the palace before him, a flash of golden light passing through his eyes.
[Spirit: 340 (Witness Truth and Falsehood) (Shadow of the End)]
He saw it.
He saw a towering, sky-reaching tree.
The palace before him seemed to be merely a single point on this colossal tree.
"This is..."
He felt like he had seen this tree somewhere before.
Shaya.
Right.
When Shaya used that power called [Atheism], a similar, immense tree seemed to have appeared.
"Master?"
Lisette cast a worried glance his way.
"It's fine."
Ye Qiyan withdrew his gaze. That giant tree had only flashed by for an instant.
Where he stood was the main gate of this enormous palace.
He walked forward, blending into the flow of people, and entered the palace.
Suspended flames ignited, illuminating the interior of the palace.
In the central position.
The unconscious Achuan was still hanging upside down there.
Ahead, above the throne draped in pure white beast fur, wind and snow fell through the gap that reached straight to the sky.
People whispered among themselves.
People each had their own goals.
Magnus stood at the very front, chest puffed out, waiting for the arrival of the person he revered.
Mr. Order held that woman in his arms, his gaze passing over the throne, staring towards what lay even higher above.
And Ye Qiyan?
At this moment, he was eating White Forest Fruit, his line of sight fixed on a person wearing a cloak, with a smiling face mask covering their features.
A coincidence?
Although this guy had changed clothes, the smiling face mask was identical to the one worn by the Smiling Face Person he had seen back at the Forward Station.
No mistake.
It was him.
The Smiling Face Person, he was still alive.
And right at that moment, a rough, booming voice echoed throughout the grand hall.
The Northern Man, holding a giant sword and wearing fur armor, sat down upon that throne.
"The City Lord has arrived!"
Accompanied by a servant's loud shout.
Warriors loyal to Tengo appeared on either side of him.
At this moment, he did not resemble the master of a city, but rather the king of a nation.
Thud!!
The giant sword was plunged into the ground.
Tengo swept his gaze over the people present, his eyes lingering for a moment on Magnus, who stood in the center with his chest puffed out.
"Interesting. I heard that someone from the Lienkenna Intermediate Group broke the hunting record. Kid, that's you, right? Magnus!"
Hearing his name, Magnus was extremely excited. He bowed quite respectfully towards Tengo, but upon raising his head, he negated this claim.
"No, Lord Tengo. The one who truly broke the record was my companion, a very powerful Train Conductor!"
"Oh? And where is that person?"
"He is right... uh..."
Magnus suddenly covered his eyes.
The memory of Ye Qiyan's face in his mind became blurred and indistinct.
He turned his head to look around, searching for traces of "Li Xiaosheng," but could not find him no matter how hard he tried.
However, this feeling did not last long.
Because at the very moment Magnus turned his gaze back.
He saw a black-haired young man who had appeared at the very center of the grand hall at some unknown time, raising a single hand towards the sky. A breathtakingly beautiful long blade, a veritable work of art, hovered in the center of his palm.
"Senior Achuan, it wouldn't be polite to keep pretending to sleep. Should I let you out?"
[Defiance × Salvation]
[Demon Card · Bewitchment]
A pale light attached itself to the sword.
Achuan did not open his eyes, but his mouth involuntarily opened.
"Please... you..."
"Transaction complete~"
His seemingly casual wave of the hand sent that beautiful blade tracing out a sword light like a crescent moon.
The young man's voice was not loud, yet it was clearly heard by everyone.
The sword light he released severed the magic-filled ropes.
Achuan, who had been hanging upside down in the air, suddenly opened his eyes. In the instant before his face was about to be impaled by the spikes below, he transformed into a mass of ghostly spirits, flipping over to land beside Ye Qiyan.
Ding!!
A clear, resonant hum wantonly reverberated!
Before Tengo, that giant sword flew up on its own, clashing with Ye Qiyan's attack.
The resulting shockwave made the weaker people in the grand hall unable to stand straight, tumbling to the ground one after another.
"Phew... finally freed. Thanks, I owe you one."
Feeling the injuries on his body perfectly restored, Achuan was very happy.
A chibi-style ghost spirit appeared on his shoulder.
Seven Ghost Spirit Cards transformed into a ring behind him.
Without the slightest hesitation, he charged towards Tengo on the throne.
"The rest! Leave it to me! I won't lose again! Hahahaha!"
Before everyone could react.
Right there in the sky above the Main City.
The myriad stars in the sky outlined a demon-breaking ritual magic circle.
Menrojina stood atop her Train, gently waving the Staff-Sword in her hand.
Tens of thousands of rebel troops from various places received the signal at this very moment and began their assault towards the Main City.
There was no obstruction.
Because the gates were wide open.
There was no resistance.
Because Menrojina had long since dispersed the Karma~
She curled the corner of her lips, a mysterious hue appearing on her beautiful face beneath the veil.
"Although it's a bit ahead of schedule, it doesn't matter."
"Brother Ye always gives me pleasant surprises~"
As she said this, the smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by absolute indifference.
The Staff-Sword rotated, all the Ritual Cards coalescing into a ring.
Simultaneously.
In the six major City-States of the Miranda world, the [Substitute] authority Cubes transported by the RUN Company were synchronously activated.
The Divine Cores stored within the Cubes resonated with each other.
[Ritual Card · Equivalent Exchange]
This was her first Ritual Card, and the beginning of all rituals.
