Chapter 859: [The Blasphemous Card - X - The Dream Weaver]

????? Year.

Aloflis opened her eyes.

But what she saw before her was not the scenery of the Treasure Vault.

"Who am I?"

"I am... Aloflis?"

She seemed to have lost many memories, but perhaps none of that mattered anymore.

Aloflis lay sprawled atop the coffin, gazing at the corpse within.

No mission mattered anymore.

As long as she could watch over her, she wouldn't feel so lonely...

This was enough.

[Now]

Aloflis remembered everything. She now knew why she could maintain her sense of self even without that fragment of the Blasphemy Card. Because, ah, from the day she had abandoned her mission.

The Treasure Vault had already lost its power to hold back the End.

She had long been eroded by the faded End.

All of her power came from the End itself.

[Colorless]

The pinnacle of the Wasteland Species.

He had bestowed upon Aloflis a new mission.

Preserve that corpse. Preserve that fragment.

"No, you can't take the fragment! You can have everything else, but not her! She is mine! I will never, NEVER let anything take her away from me!!!"

Aloflis let out a sorrowful roar.

In but an instant, she transformed into a weeping monster.

"I hate her, I love her, I hate her..."

Grief and despair began to spread.

WALL-E, hiding behind the coffin, was startled, but in an instant crossed the prismatic doorway and pounced into his master's arms.

"There's just no helping you."

Ye Qiyan tapped WALL-E's iron head.

"Go back first. I'll deal with you later."

He set the little cube robot down on the ground and smiled softly.

WALL-E's eyes curved into crescents. It knew that it had once again managed to help its master.

Meanwhile, one of Twelve Eyes' Apostles believed it had spotted an opportunity. While Ye Qiyan had yet to rise, its single vertical pupil flashed, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared behind Ye Qiyan.

"Human, die!"

RIIIP—

"Sigh."

A single sigh.

It began to rain...

It was Red Tears' rain.

SHWISH!

BOOM!

The Apostle that had come to assassinate Ye Qiyan was frozen in place by the sudden thunderclap.

It suddenly sensed an intense killing intent and instinctively turned its head around.

Illuminated by that flash of lightning.

A pair of icy-cold, blood-red eyes met its gaze.

THUD...

"?"

The Apostle still tried to swing its blade, but suddenly felt the world spinning upside down.

It had become chunks of flesh, tumbling into that blood-red rain.

HUM...

The Tear-Engraving Sword slowly returned to its sheath.

Ye Qiyan rose to his feet, looking at Aloflis, looking at Twelve Eyes.

Looking at the increasingly fierce battlefield.

Suddenly, he smiled.

"I see. Now everything makes sense."

A fragment of the Blasphemy Card.

The third fragment of Ye Qiyan's third card.

Even though it had not yet come into his hands, that thing would most certainly belong to him.

"Red Tears."

The wings at the Demon Girl's waist fluttered, and she gently blinked beside him.

She knelt down gracefully beside Ye Qiyan, extending her palm to interlace her fingers with his.

[Defiance × Red Tears]

[Overcomer]

Her dress turned white.

The Tear-Engraving Sword and Moon Veil floated together behind Ye Qiyan's left side.

The Overcomer module activated instantly, and Ye Qiyan's presence grew ever more powerful.

Twin guns in hand, the Silver-Winged Fierce Star roared fiercely.

High among the clouds above.

Countless dark-gold specks of light began to converge.

The mechanical roar of engines suddenly resounded.

A azure meteor blazed brilliantly within this black-and-white world.

The Hunt and Eve descended from the heavens, joining the battle.

"Ding-a-ling~"

A third sword flew out from the carriage.

Mingming's figure appeared upon his shoulder.

She raised her tiny hand.

The moon summoned by Calamity grew ever brighter.

The [Five Moon] stored within the Storage Unit seemed to connect with that colossal radiant moon in the Wasteland!

Twelve Eyes' Apostles were intercepted by them.

Twelve Eyes, seated upon the Divine Throne, frowned as it stared at the two rings behind Ye Qiyan, and those two dark-gold cards that instinctively stirred fear in its heart. It did not act rashly.

"What... is that thing?"

It did not recognize Card Sequences, nor had it ever seen a Blasphemy Card before.

But that danger sensed through instinct could never be wrong.

And moreover, what was that monster on the ground?

Why could it sense the aura of that [True God] upon that monster?

"Don't come closer!"

An overlapping, distorted voice emerged from Aloflis's monstrous body.

"I beg you! Run away if you must! Defeat that monster if you must! Just don't, don't come closer! No, I don't want to attack him, as long as he, as long as he doesn't come closer! No! Don't speak inside my head!"

The faded End continuously spread outward from within her body.

At this moment, Aloflis had already become the [Colorless] End's Apostle.

Ye Qiyan said nothing, still striding steadfastly toward the coffin.

"Go away!"

Even the adaptability shared by Lisette could not easily withstand such intense power of the End.

At this moment, that True God known as [Colorless] had already set its gaze upon this place.

His power was continuously pouring into this world.

"I said GO AWAY, can't you hear me?!"

Aloflis launched an attack at Ye Qiyan, but it was solidly blocked by the Wandering Star Holy Sigil.

Courage, Glory, Champion!

That power which once belonged to the Golden Tribe now shone brilliantly upon a human like Ye Qiyan.

He raised his eyes.

His pitch-black pupils calmly met Aloflis's gaze.

"Move aside."

[Arrogance] [Bewitchment] [Defiance] [Supremacy]

The radiance of the [Ring of Evil] made Aloflis's body stiffen.

She actually, instinctively, stepped aside to make a path.

"You!"

"Shut up."

[Bewitchment!]

Her mouth snapped shut. Despite possessing a colossal body, she stood before this insignificant human like a terrified ant.

"So noisy."

RUMBLE!

The coffin was thrown open by him.

Revealing the appearance of the woman beneath.

Her hand was death-gripping that fragment.

Even without the coffin, even though that fragment so desperately yearned to come to Ye Qiyan's side, it still did not leave her.

"Should I unravel this karmic bond... or rather, this fate?"

[Demon Card · Salvation]

The pale Demon Card detached from the ring, coming into Ye Qiyan's hand.

"Everything I got from the last upgrade option sure came in handy at this station, heh."

The card flipped over.

The cross on its back suddenly bloomed with a dazzling radiance.

[Defiance × Bewitchment × Salvation]

Ye Qiyan extended his hand toward that corpse which had been dead for untold ages, and posed a question.

"Do you want to live?"

Bewitchment compelled the corpse to speak.

["YES!"]

The moment that voice resounded throughout this world, the fragment gripped in her hand flew toward Ye Qiyan!

Simultaneously, the other two fragments in the Storage Unit could wait no longer. They transcended the bonds of space, merging with that final fragment!

[AH!]

Sublime! Sorrow! Despair! Agony! Struggle!!

Endless praises resounded across this realm!

Noisy!? Raucous!?

Ye Qiyan covered his ears, raising his gun to put a round into this thing that was just as noisy as its predecessors, when—

A brand-new, dark-gold card manifested before him!

[Ding ding ding ding dong!]

[Congratulations! Miatira's proud master!]

[You have obtained a new Blasphemy Card!]
