Time: 21:08:05

Weather: Clear skies as far as the eye can see

The pure white train advanced through the wasteland.

[Beep, beep, beep... Armament Hangar deploying]

[Mech-soldiers—Augustine, Lancelot, Scoundrel, Bedivere, all Wuzhong, catapult launch]

Atop it, dozens of mech-soldiers stood within the gradually expanding compressed space according to pre-planned positions, maintaining vigilance on all sides.

[Nano-Beehive activated, Nano-Bee Swarm entering guard status]

[Swarm Mother expresses respect to the Dominator]

Countless silver-white Nano Giant Sting Bees spread across every part of the train, bearing the responsibility of repairing the train's main body and acting as shields to block anything that might harm the train.

Goshawk was coiled atop the reactor, ready to provide energy feedback at any moment.

.......

Carriage after carriage prepared for Ye Qiyan's Sublimation.

And at this moment, he was soaking in a hot spring, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

"Lisette, how many monsters do you think will appear this time?"

Ye Qiyan opened his eyes and looked up at the mechanical maid kneeling behind him, who was combing his hair.

"There will be... a lot~"

Lisette answered his question obediently in her usual gentle tone.

"But, it doesn't matter."

She waved her little fist, which looked completely powerless.

"We, will protect Master."

"Tinkle~"

In the hot spring, Mingming was sitting atop Nefeti in glutinous rice ball form, also using her own voice to give the same answer.

"So, Master, just do what you want to do. I, we... won't let anything disturb you. Humans, monsters, gods... nothing at all."

Lisette gently cupped Ye Qiyan's cheeks, leaned close to his ear, and continued in a voice only they could hear.

"It's not that scary, rest assured. Sublimation won't take long."

Ye Qiyan touched Lisette's soft cheek, then stood up from the warm water.

"Whoosh~"

He stretched his body, and his lean, powerful frame emitted crackling sounds.

"It's just a train Sublimation, same as before. Lisette, Mingming, and you, dumb bird, it's time for us to go out."

He snapped his fingers lightly.

A set of clothes customized from the black market automatically dressed itself.

The design on the back of the black great cloak was something Ye Qiyan had realized when he gained insights from the [Master Dynamic Train Skin Creator] Module during the initial crafting of the [Mythical Gem].

So he casually bought some things and conducted a few experiments.

And this great cloak was one of the experiment results.

He used the [Wireless Dynamic Brush] to write a large character for [Evil] on its back.

The clothes were ordinary—just a Level 3 custom coat worth ten thousand city coins. After Sublimation, it became Level 4, gaining the ability to automatically dress itself.

But that [Evil] character was worth a Sublimed Level 8 item.

Its ability?

Not much use—basically zero help in combat.

It was just that.

He liked it.

He liked it, so he kept it.

Donning the great cloak, he walked out of this carriage.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the locomotive section.

At this moment, Eve and the miniaturized Hunt were waiting there.

Within the massive interior space of the locomotive, it wasn't just them.

All the Card Sequences were silently floating here.

They were arranged neatly.

All the way to the front position.

Right there.

The Broken Throne of Defiance awaited its master's arrival.

Demons gradually solidified from illusion.

Only Red Tears stood before the black cross of Defiance, removing the Demon King's Crown representing [Corruption] for him.

This was just an ordinary Sublimation, same as always—nothing special about it.

But the ceremonial feel displayed now, accompanied by the opening movement played by Defiance, made everything seem far from ordinary.

Still because.

He liked it.

Was there anything wrong with that?

Not at all.

Trains, machines, demons...

Everything.

As long as he liked it, as long as he wanted it.

The [monsters] belonging to Ye Qiyan would give everything, do everything!

"Then, let's begin."

Ye Qiyan sat on that throne.

His five fingers grasped empty air, and the crown in his hand gradually shattered.

He wasn't wearing the [Witness of the End] title.

Because the drill bit at the front of the train, which seemed capable of piercing through a planet, needed fuel!

Crown!

Shattered!

At this moment, the soaring movement was rushing toward its climax!

[Sublimation——!]

He whispered in his heart.

Countless monsters surged like waves, appearing out of thin air on all sides of the train!

Accelerate! Accelerate!

All abilities that could speed up the train were activated!

A azure-blue light stream converged from his palm and began to spread outward!

All sorts of Train Armament unfolded completely!

Air Supremacy! Drill Bit! Landmines! Boundless Machine Armament! Wealth Protective Barrier!

The world was receding.

The Overdrive Dragon and the meteor-like rabbit-eared mechanical girl dominated the high sky!

Mech-soldiers wielding Flame Spears and Windblade Lances ruled the earth!

The monster tide was coming!

This time, the scale was so massive it was as if Ye Qiyan himself was Sublimating!

The Wasteland? Or something else?

Did it or they want to stop what was happening?

But, could they?

[Miatira·Train System]

[Activating Train Conductor Protection Protocol]

[This Train Conductor's train level is level 19]

[Interference?]

[Trial?]

[Obstruction?]

[Execution Forbidden!]

[Allowable interfering force: cannot exceed maximum level limit.]

[Those who violate the protocol]

[Will be exterminated——]

Miatira's cold voice echoed through the wasteland.

Some gazes withdrew reluctantly, but could only send more monsters of Level 8 or below, forming an even more massive [wave] to crash into the "tiny" pure white train.

Certain entities were not resigned.

So—

[Roar!!]

Thunder resounded through heaven and earth.

Blocking the sun and covering the sky.

A super-giant monster, shaped like a sperm whale but hundreds of times larger, with a semi-transparent body, materialized out of thin air.

Inside the train, Ye Qiyan saw everything.

His Stamina and Spirit were steadily decreasing.

Behind him.

The [Ring of Evil] and [Ring of Calamity] intertwined with each other.

Ye Qiyan didn't raise his hand, just glanced to his side.

Red Tears and Lisette stood on his left and right respectively, together with [Anchor] and [Judge], guarding as the final line of defense.

That monster looked strong—should he have Red Tears draw her sword and kill it?

No...

No need.

A slight smile curled at the corner of Ye Qiyan's mouth.

Because in the sky.

Hunt and Eve, within less than 10 seconds of that monster's appearance, had already annihilated it.

Huge doesn't mean powerful.

This argument was always correct in the wasteland.

As the battle gradually entered its climax, no second monster like that enormous whale appeared.

Thus.

When the azure-blue light stream gradually dimmed.

Ye Qiyan opened his eyes and murmured softly.

"It looks like it's about to end."

The train trembled—

Not because it had suffered any damage.

But because.

The Sublimation of the twentieth level.

Had just been completed!

[Stamina: 400→58] [Spirit: 500→1]

[Ding!!!]

[Congratulations! Train Conductor Ye Qiyan!]

[Your train level has been raised to: Level 20!]

[You are now an outstanding Train Conductor!]

[Miatira Special Note: Not counting those cheaters! You are the fastest Train Conductor to reach this level! No one else!]
