Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

【Spirit: 340→15】

When the pale light of Salvation shone in Menrojina's eyes.

What did she see?

She saw Ye Qiyan.

No demon, no white bones.

She raised her hand, her fingertips touching the black-haired young man's.

A trace of azure lingered within the pallor.

The great sword pressing down on her was forcibly pulled out.

Her severely wounded body began to recover at a visible rate.

A helpless smile spread across Menrojina's face.

[Ritual Card·Karmic Retribution]

[Chain Limit: 11]

"...Really...you make me curious...I never expected this Karmic Retribution to increase its limit in this way..."

"Ye Qiyan, you really are special."

Her dark-golden eyes were filled with the reflection of Ye Qiyan.

How much she longed to see inside this person's heart, to know everything he had experienced.

What kind of Station Worlds had he been through, what kind of past had he lived, to create the person he was today?

Ye Qiyan shrugged and pulled back his hand before Menrojina could touch him again.

"I'm just an ordinary human, nothing special. So, you should probably change your clothes."

He glanced at Menrojina's bare, flat abdomen exposed to the air. It was hard to imagine that not long ago, this spot had been a mess of shredded flesh mixed with bone fragments.

Come to think of it, the last time this woman was injured in front of him, it was also right here.

In a certain sense, it could be considered fate, right?

"An ordinary human, huh~ Hehe, indeed, we're all just ordinary humans traveling through the wasteland~"

Menrojina stood up, looking up at the battlefield in the sky.

Tengo and Mr. Order—their fight was moving toward Miranda City.

"Anyway, thank you, Ye Qiyan. You can trust me a little more than before~"

Eleven Chains of Causality.

Menrojina didn't know how she would ever repay them.

But, it didn't matter.

She would repay them. No matter what danger Ye Qiyan faced in the future—whether it was monsters, false gods, or even true gods.

As long as she was alive, she would help him without hesitation.

This was 【Karma】, this was 【Oath】.

Menrojina seemed to have made a decision.

She took out a box. It wasn't big, about the size of a young girl's palm.

She opened it. Inside lay a single gem.

She cut her fingertip with her staff-sword.

Crimson blood dyed the gem red.

Mystic ritual runes, condensed from magical energy, swirled in the air.

Menrojina whispered words that ordinary people couldn't understand.

One by one, she traced the characters with her blood.

When the final period was drawn.

All the characters were absorbed into the gem.

Menrojina walked over to Ye Qiyan and, under the wary gazes of Lisette and Eve, handed the gem to him.

"This is for you. I originally planned to use it to repay karma, ha... didn't expect to owe even more."

Karma—Ye Qiyan preferred to call it a transaction.

【Salvation】. The spirit Menrojina had consumed was far more than he had imagined.

Don't let the remaining fifteen points fool you; that was only after he'd drunk three bottles of Spirit Potion.

So Ye Qiyan accepted the gem without any burden.

A system appraisal screen immediately appeared before his eyes.

【Oath Tear (Level 11)】

[Drip blood, inscribe an eternal oath]

[Current Oathmaker: Menrojina]

[Oath Content: "At any time, any place, under any circumstances, through this gem, my soul can be summoned to your side via ritual. Life, death, uncertainty—each Chain of Causality can be used once."]

"This?"

Ye Qiyan looked at Menrojina, a little surprised.

Wasn't this kind of thing basically handing over her life to someone else?

Although he could already take Menrojina's life through the power of 【Salvation】, this time, she was offering it voluntarily.

The meaning was different.

"Shh~ Don't tell anyone."

Menrojina pressed a finger lightly to her lips, smiled softly, and put back on the thin veil that covered her face.

"Bro Ye, this is the only way I could think of to repay all your karma, hehe~ Even if you use me as a shield to block in front of you, that's fine."

Clatter~

One Chain of Causality was unbound.

But ten still remained.

【"Maybe I'll never be able to repay it all."】

She thought this.

Watching the young man put away the gem, she held her staff-sword to her chest, a faint glimmer in her eyes.

【"But the more this happens, the more I wonder... if I ever do manage to repay it all, what will happen then?"】

"Sigh... that's how it is. Hehe~ Bro Ye, from now on, you're my creditor. Remember, you can trust me. Until all the karma is repaid, I won't deceive you. I swear."

An oath was important, especially for a ritual mage like Menrojina.

Ye Qiyan blinked and responded with a smile.

"Okay."

Should he really trust her?

He'd have to see.

They cleaned up the mess at this scene.

The war between Mr. Order and Tengo had also reached its final climax.

Menrojina left. That Ritual Card had fallen into the city; she remembered the direction it fell, so she needed to find it.

Ye Qiyan had no intention of going with her.

After saying goodbye to Menrojina, he returned to his train.

This trip, the gains were pretty good.

If he ran into trouble in the future and was short on manpower, using that gem called the Oath Tear to summon Menrojina for help wouldn't be a bad idea.

As for using her as a meat shield...

He thought about Menrojina's repeatedly wounded abdomen.

Better not.

Her body probably couldn't take many hits.

"Next, I just wait to steal a kill. There shouldn't... be anything else, right?"

Ye Qiyan lounged leisurely on the bed, holding Arrogance on his fingertip.

He grabbed a handful of bucket popcorn from Lisette's arms and stuffed it into his mouth.

【Defiance × Arrogance】

His perspective shifted. He looked down on the battle in the sky.

A full-strength fight between top Train Conductors wasn't something you saw every day.

Wasn't this better than any special effects blockbuster?

————

City Lord's Mansion Ruins.

Inside the rear palace complex.

The finger of the Faceless Person in the center of the crimson altar moved slightly.

Here, the battle will of the entire world was being transmitted.

Cruel war, cruel slaughter, cruel everything...

The Faceless Person whispered silently.

【Asmodeus】

It opened its palm.

A King's Crown appeared here.

【Who can become king?】

It raised its head. Everything in the Miranda World was instantly known to it.

Its gaze finally stopped at a certain beach.

There, beneath it, a charred corpse lay in slumber.

【I am already dead.】

【Who will lay me to rest?】

【Ascend this infinite throne, and become the King of Cruelty.】
