When Ye Qiyan returned to his train.
The outside world had already become quite quiet.
A drizzling red rain mixed with frost fell to the ground.
The gathered storm blocked off the connection between this place and the outside world.
The Raven Demon carried the burlap sack, leading the Nano-Bee Swarm as they gathered the spoils of war.
Ye Qiyan watched with some distress as Eve and Augustine were slightly affected by that rusty magic.
This kind of magic, specifically designed to target mechanical lifeforms, was truly disgusting enough.
But this was also because they needed to protect the train.
If they had been facing the enemy head-on, with Eve's speed, it would have been impossible for them to have suffered this kind of damage.
Ye Qiyan took out Salvation and consumed his own spirit, healing their injuries.
Everything was as before, with no lasting effects.
When the Raven Demon and the Nano-Bee Swarm returned to the train with the pile of spoils.
Ye Qiyan suddenly felt a tremor beneath his feet.
"An earthquake?"
"No, three hours... have we already reached that time?"
Time: 【10:59:11】
This was exactly three hours after what that woman Zhu Xingshu had said.
Hanging Drowning Seaheart.
Had exploded.
"BOOM!!!!"
First, a muffled thunderclap!
Then, the entire Miranda World felt a violent tremor at that very moment!
The earth cracked!
A tsunami as massive as a mountain range surged forward!
Before this tsunami, this enormous flat-topped mountain seemed so pitifully small.
【Somewhere】
At Zhu Xingshu's train.
Her hands were clasped together.
Blood flowed from her one remaining eye.
Her heart beat without stopping, and desperate notes of fate echoed in her ears~
"Mmm~ The Ritual Card, I've found it."
【Everything Zhu Xingshu does is for the Card Sequence】
This statement would never be wrong.
She raised her gaze.
The sky was so chaotic right now.
Wind and snow, red rain, the Order Paradise, hidden rituals...
And that Eye of the 【Void】, always watching everything with delight.
And now, a new thing had appeared in this sky.
A galaxy of stars shone brightly, turning day into night.
Countless stars interconnected, forming bands of light with no pattern.
These light bands crisscrossed each other, and at their center, they pointed directly at that eye in the sky.
【The Void】 felt a trace of confusion.
He turned His gaze.
【Oh~ So it's you, interesting human~】
【You really can do it~】
【O blasphemer~ The most interesting kind among humans~】
【You, want to get that collection piece called Ritual from my hands?】
【Mmm... hehe~ Interesting, you win. Who could blame me for loving your Train System so much that it blocked me outside the world?】
【However~】
A Ritual Card appeared out of thin air.
Its light attracted Menrojina's attention.
Without hesitation, she broke away from the chaotic battle and headed toward that Ritual Card.
But Akula Tengo revealed a cruel smile.
More black-purple aura emerged on his body.
He accelerated the greatsword in his hand to its limit and threw it at Menrojina.
Mr. Order saw the opportunity and simultaneously released a killing blow against Tengo.
The greatsword accelerated to its extreme speed, and Menrojina felt a strong sense of karma.
Her Ritual Cards gathered before her, and the power of the secret ritual condensed into a shield to block the strike, but it was instantly shattered.
This attack could not be dodged.
Menrojina crashed to the ground, slamming directly into the Main City.
At the same time, Mr. Order's attack also severely wounded Tengo.
Half of his body vanished directly.
But Tengo was still laughing, even laughing louder.
"Ha, hahahaha! That's it! That's it! Mr. Order, thank you for your help. Now that the annoying obstacle is gone, let's continue fighting until death!"
Without the greatsword, Tengo simply pulled out his own thigh bone and sharpened it directly into a bone blade.
A Train Conductor's body, with the increase in physical strength and spirit, was itself an extremely powerful "resource."
Mr. Order felt something was wrong.
"Tengo, hand over Asmodeus's crown. I won't kill you. You should have realized that the ritual you built has already been destroyed. Asmodeus won't be resurrected. Your plan has already failed. So, what else do you want?"
"Resurrection? Hahahaha! No, Mr. Order, you're wrong. Today, Asmodeus will definitely appear! That ancient, cruel king will surely sit upon his throne! All I have to do is burn my flesh! My bones! Everything I have! Let him awaken! Let him choose!"
"Today, a king will definitely be born!"
BOOM!!!
Thunder rolled! It struck Tengo's body!
His body turned charred black! There was no sign of his injuries healing!
But his momentum did not diminish; instead, it became even stronger.
Mr. Order was very strong. After recovering all the Order Cards except 【Sloth】 and making the 【Sacrifice】, even if Tengo and Menrojina's strength were combined, they would be far inferior to him.
But why?
Why did this Tengo give him a feeling of being stronger than him?
This wasn't an illusion! It was the other party truly abandoning everything, not caring about his own life or even victory!
He just wanted to fight.
Why?
Could it be that Asmodeus's revival was related to this?
But this was different from what he knew.
"Then I'll kill you first, then find Asmodeus's crown."
A flash of killing intent passed through Mr. Order's eyes.
The Order Paradise surged around him.
"Die!"
—
Miranda City.
Menrojina looked helplessly at her abdomen, which had been pierced through.
"I was... affected mentally just now, wasn't I."
She shouldn't have directly gone for that Ritual Card.
Turning her back to the enemy was such a foolish thing to do.
She raised her bloodstained finger and called up her own system interface.
Seeing the status that appeared under the spirit column, she frowned.
【Spirit: 783】
【Status: Bloodline Frenzy (The desire in your heart has been stirred)】
"How is my spirit only this much? Has this status been hidden on me all along?"
"Cough..."
A mouthful of blood spewed from her mouth.
She glanced at another piece of information.
【Stamina: 1 (Locked)】
【Status: Survivor's Seal】
【You cannot actively use any recovery/repair/healing/revival-type items or abilities】
【Stamina Lock Countdown: 72 hours】
"...What a hassle..."
Menrojina raised her now powerless hand and recalled the Staff-Sword beside her, wanting to use magic to pull the sword from her body.
But just then.
Tap... tap... tap...
Footsteps came.
Her eyes sharpened, and the glow of the ritual suddenly emerged.
But when the sound of the newcomer's voice entered her ears, her body inexplicably relaxed.
"Excuse me~ Miss Menrojina, do you need rescue?"
The chains on 【Karmic Retribution】 were slowly tightening.
This Card Sequence, which should have had a limit of only ten chains, was inexplicably growing an eleventh.
This card was changing.
As for the reason?
It was because of this man.
Ye Qiyan, a man she might never be able to repay even if she gave everything.
The corner of Menrojina's mouth curled up slightly.
She pulled off her veil, revealing that captivating face.
"Bro Ye, I'll leave it to you~ I owe you a favor."
Clink, clink, clink~
Only she could hear this sound ringing in her ears.
【Ritual Card·Karmic Retribution】
The chains on it were increasing.
Ye Qiyan, who had walked over here, revealed a smile.
In his left eye, the inverted cross representing the Demon flickered with black light.
【Defiance×Salvation】
This was power originally intended for Tengo, but now it had fallen upon Menrojina.
Then let him give it a try~ When this Salvation and Menrojina's Karmic Retribution worked together.
In the end, what would become of it?
"Let's start the transaction~"
