Chapter 144

Huang Quan shook her head slightly and said:

"I have simply walked further than most on His Path, becoming stained with more of the Void."

"Even so, this person's strength truly is at the level of an Emanator."

Silver Wolf stood beside Huang Quan, shrugged her shoulders, and said:

"Her Excellency can even go toe-to-toe with an Ethereal Dragon."

Hearing this, everyone in the train carriage couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"To actually go toe-to-toe with an Ethereal Dragon." March 7th parted her lips slightly.

Welt Yang nodded gently: "So that's how it is; the one who fought the Ethereal Dragon at Tophet back then was you."

Back then, the entire planet of Tophet was destroyed in a fierce battle,

and if this woman standing before us was truly responsible, then her strength is indeed at the level of an Emanator.

"So, are you two following the decree of His Imperial Majesty the Emperor to come aid us?"

he asked, looking at Huang Quan and at Silver Wolf, who was holding a mask.

"There are three of us, three people! Am I not a person?!" the mask held in Silver Wolf's hand suddenly shouted loudly.

"I am, after all, your senior Nameless; could you show a little more respect!"

That mask slipped from Silver Wolf's hand, hovered in mid-air, and cried out.

"The mask... spoke?!" March 7th couldn't help but widen her eyes, saying in surprise.

That mask, smeared with thick colorful paint, revealed a human-like expression, gazing nostalgically at the train carriage:

"It's been repaired again, that fellow Akivili's train."

"I really want to blow it up again..."

"Could you be..." Himeko, hearing the mask's words, raised her eyebrows slightly.

A mask, blowing up the train, a former Nameless...

"Are you, Aha?" Stelle looked at that somewhat familiar mask, blinking her eyes.

She seemed to have seen this mask on Aha within the Simulated Universe.

"It is I, little Akivili and the Crown Prince of The Finality; to be precise, this is one of my avatars."

Aha chuckled and, looking at Stelle, said.

"Eh???" March 7th, standing to the side and looking at that mask hovering in mid-air, couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

"Isn't Aha just...."

"The worst Nameless of all, ya!!!!"

Before March 7th could finish speaking, Pom-Pom's figure shot out like a missile, a mop in hand fiercely stabbing at that mask.

"Aaaaaah! My, Aha's, handsome and dashing mask!"

"Mr. Conductor, Your Excellency, please let go, aaaaaah!!!"

?......

On the Luo Fu Luo Fu Xianzhou, inside the Divination Commission.

Lord Fu Xuan kept her eyes tightly closed, the fractured Law Eye on her forehead shimmering with a faint floating light,

as some fragmented information flooded into her mind.

In her hand, she held a primitive tortoise shell, within which copper coins swayed with the movement of her fingers, emitting a crisp sound.

With a casual flick, three copper coins were sprinkled out from the tortoise shell, landing on the table,

where the copper coins gently shook a few times before settling on the table surface to present a hexagram.

After the Law Eye shattered, Lord Fu Xuan could only rely on this relatively primitive method of divination to briefly predict fortune and misfortune.

"... Qingque's current situation is... Great Auspicious???"

A row of question marks appeared above Lord Fu Xuan's head.

Qingque, Seeing Seeing Yanqing, Huohuo, and other people from the Luo Fu Luo Fu Xianzhou had formed a team and entered Penacony,

after which contact was lost and their status became unknown.

Lord Fu Xuan had already prepared for the worst-case scenario, that the few of them had met with disaster or were in a extremely dangerous situation.

However, her divination result showed reality...

"How could that fellow Qingque be Great Auspicious???"

"Could this fellow have intentionally cut off contact and secretly slipped away to slack off??"

Lord Fu Xuan couldn't help but bite her thumb, beginning to ponder the situation before her.

"It seems the situation has become quite complicated; even you, Lord Fu, cannot see through the mist behind it."

Hearing Jing Yuan shook his head slightly and said.

"General, if that is the case, then let me lead the next team into Penacony."

"If the mist outside cannot be seen through, then we must personally go inside the mist to take a look."

"No, Lord Fu..." Hearing Jing Yuan shook his head slightly: "The one who will enter Penacony next is not you."

"If not me, then who? Does the Luo Fu have anyone else available?"

"It is I..."

Just as Lord Fu Xuan was speaking, the gates of the Divination Commission were pushed open, and a cold wind swept in.

Lord Fu Xuan saw that blade formed of freezing frost.

(Moving house today, so tired, my arms hurt...)

140. 【You Are Late】

"... The Aeon is being restrained within Penacony..."

March 7th listened to the words of the mask before her eyes and couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock.

One Aeon, two dead Aeons; according to this Aha mask before them,

all had been restrained within Penacony, trapped inside the spiral of the dreamscape.

"Who the hell knows why that fellow Xipe got restrained inside."

"Ena and the big bug were picked up as corpses by that kid named Sunday."

Aha's mask pursed its lips, speaking with considerable dissatisfaction.

It had just been ruthlessly crushed against the floor by the Conductor's mop, causing some of the colorful paint on its face to flake off.

"Uh... is 'picked up as corpses' used that way?" March 7th scratched her head and asked.

"So what exactly happened inside Penacony?" Himeko asked, frowning.

"To be honest, even we few Aeons don't know a damn thing."

"We only vaguely sensed that something bad is happening in the future."

Aha's mask swayed a few times in mid-air as it spoke:

"If we personally entered Penacony, we'd likely be captured directly, so we did our best to mobilize mortals to investigate the internal situation on our behalf."

"Tsk, to be honest, that bunch of Fools under my command wouldn't do a good job with this nonsense, so..."

Aha's mask chuckled with a "Hee-hee":

"I suggested to Your Majesty that perhaps you Express Crew could enter and investigate it."

"After all, you are best at this; it's called Trailblazing, isn't it?"

"So it was you, you scoundrel!!!" March 7th gritted her teeth in anger.

No wonder the Emperor of the Calamity Empire suddenly demanded the Express Crew investigate the situation inside Penacony;

it turned out this suggestion came from that fellow Aha.

"Gah-gah-gah, this was your job to begin with; how can Trailblazing stop just because of a tiny difficulty?"

Aha's mask laughed with a "Gah-gah,"

and just at that moment, the train shook slightly.

"Ah?! What's happening?!" March 7th was startled and hurriedly looked out the window,

where she saw Penacony outside slowly extending translucent tentacles, coiling toward the stars....

A dream, a long dream, extended its tentacles into the void,

Fu Xuan watched the scene transmitted back by the frontline star skiffs, her expression gloomy and heavy,

as the spiral-like Penacony spun continuously in the great void, extending tentacles in all directions to lick the myriad stars,

those tentacles were bizarre and grotesque, detected to be composed of Memokeepers' substance, sticky and strange,
