Purgatory Artist-Chapter 256: Card Master War

The snowy mountain.

On top of the cliff, a long bridge was formed by a dense swarm of insects.

The Emperor stepped forward on top of the insect's body.

Slowly but surely, it was moving forward.

Norton and Libertas were hiding in the hidden path, observing the situation outside.

"Seems like we can't stop it at all" Norton dejectedly said.

"There are too many insects ... if someone can lure them away, I have a few powerful bombs that can blow up the cliff" Libertas said.

A voice suddenly came from behind them:

"It's useless"

Norton turned around and exclaimed: "That's impossible, the hidden path is my personal space, who — —"

Libertas drew his dagger and shouted: "Who is it!?"

A ladder appeared in the middle of the path.

A woman slowly climbed down from the top of the ladder.

"Hua Qingkong!"

Libertas exclaimed in shock.

"Why do you have a Card from Mechanus? And you can directly enter my path? "Norton asked.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Since the two of you are here, let's do something"

Hua Qingkong casually said.

She drew a Card and lightly tossed it to him.

Norton took the card and looked at it. On the card, there was a compass with a crazy selection and a blank clock.

[The Day of Space-Time Restriction, it can turn a single individual's time and space into a state of complete chaos for an entire day]

Hua Qingkong explained.

"This Card is too powerful, using it will consume most of my power" Norton said.

"Use it, this is the most powerful Card in Mechanus, only it can temporarily stop that monster from returning to the Land of Exile" Hua Qingkong casually said.

Norton looked at the Card, gritted his teeth, and tossed it towards the Emperor who was outside the hidden path.

Bam!

The Card turned into an ever-changing streak of light, pierced through the frost, and struck the Emperor.

The Emperor stopped.

He looked around as if he couldn't see anything, and a perplexed look appeared on his face.

Hua Qingkong had been watching without blinking, finally sighed in relief and spoke:

"You've done well."

Saying so, she climbed up the ladder and was about to leave.

"Wait, Hua Qingkong, where are you going?"

Libertas hurriedly asked.

Hua Qingkong said, "The Land of Exile has been isolated. I have something to say to Liu Ping."

"What happened to Liu Ping?"

"He has to run for his life immediately."

With that, Hua Qingkong climbed up the ladder and disappeared.

On the other side.

The ruins of the Ceylon Kingdom.

Hua Qingkong reappeared in the frozen world.

She knelt down on one knee and pressed a hand on the frost. She said,

"Liu Ping, the situation has changed."

"The Fool's world is no longer able to stop it because it lacks too many core cards. And I can only stop it for another day at most."

"You have to find a way to get all nine cards. Only then will you have a chance."

"... There are too many uncertainties."

"I've been sealed for too long. I don't know what kind of power is hidden behind the nine core cards of the Land of Exile."

"After all, back then, everyone lost."

"So ..."

"To fight or to flee, you have to decide immediately."

After that, Hua Qingkong closed her mouth and waited quietly.

Her pupils were constantly changing, sometimes returning to the youthful eyes of the young girl from before.

"Liu Ping ..."

"If you can't do it, come out quickly and escape with me."

A hint of anxiety flashed in her eyes.

...

[The three-point level-up method has evolved]

[You will still increase your experience through exploration, battle, and card collection. The difference is that the exploration content has been expanded]

["From now on, any information you don't know will increase your experience as long as you obtain it]

[In addition ...]

[You have obtained the right to operate the Land of Exile. The details are as follows:]

[Firstly, you can decide the layout of the world, its climate and growth, and the direction of civilization to produce the corresponding cards]

[Secondly, you can use or repair the imprisonment room]

[Thirdly, you can start a card master war]

[Note: Card masters who have a Sequence world can start a card master war to seize the cards in the hands of other existences]

[Special note: Please do not challenge opponents who are much stronger than you. Otherwise, you will lose all the cards in your hands]

[The specific rules are as follows:]

[...]

Liu Ping quickly read through. When he finished reading the specific rules, another line of small words popped up.

[You have learned the rules of the card master war]

[Your Role Points have increased by 1 point]

[Current Role Points: 6/10]

It took a long time to describe, but in an instant, all the information was displayed.

At the same time.

Two other things were happening:

Firstly, Hua Qingkong's voice sounded from the Card: Holy Cathedral.

Secondly, the endless swarm of insects began to surround them.

The three-headed skeleton announced loudly, "Finally, today, the era of mixed souls is over, and I will dominate everything in the future!"

Its body began to expand rapidly, gradually turning into a huge monster that looked like a snake or a dragon.

Tick tock.

Time moved forward by one second.

Liu Ping said, "Start a 'card master war'."

The world was silent.

The next moment.

The three-headed skeleton dragged its long body and roared loudly, "No, I don't agree to start a card master war! I've already won! "

"Is that so? The other half of your body is sealed outside. "

As Liu Ping spoke, he opened the Sequence Core Cards in his hands one by one and continued,

"And I have eight Core Cards in my hands. After using the right once, I still have seven chances to seal the entire Land of Exile."

"If you don't fight with me, I'll keep sealing you."

"Or rather —"

"You're afraid?"

"That's right, didn't you want to control everything in the future?

Why are you so afraid of fighting a card master war with me? "

The three-headed skeleton suddenly lowered it's heads.

Liu Ping immediately put his hand on one of the cards.

Layers of frost appeared on the card, as if it was about to spread and seal the entire world again.

The three skeletons looked at him deeply and spoke: "You think I'm afraid of you?No, I'm just not interested in killing a level 15 ant — — - "

"Mortal, fighting with you will only waste my precious time."

Liu Ping spoke: "Then, come and defeat me, this way you'll be able to take the core card in my hand and not be sealed in frost again and again"

He spread out the 8 core cards in his hand.

The three-headed skeleton went silent for a moment.

"Alright, as you wish, I'll bet this card"

It put the [Holy Spirit] card in the air.

Liu Ping let go.

The [Witch's Tome] flew into the air, hovering in front of the [Holy Spirit].

Lines of burning words quickly appeared in front of his eyes.

[The card user war is about to begin]

[The challenged will choose your side of combat]

The three skeletons' voice came: "I only need a single glance to know that you're a Cultivation-type card master— — -"

"Magic, Witchcraft, Daoism, all of these things have something in common"

With a sly and malicious voice, it slowly spoke: "That's why the side of combat I choose is — — -"

"A Technological world"

In an instant, everything disappeared.

The entire Sequence world of the Land of Exile began to rapidly change.

All the power related to magic disappeared without a trace, the world no longer had any magic.

The ground began to feel heavy.

Cities made of metal rose from the ground one after another, the people inside were driving various kinds of metal machines, speeding across the cemented ground.

Around Liu Ping and the three-headed skeleton, the scenery of the entire world, the lifestyle of the people, the direction of technological advancement, and the glorious achievements of various civilizations appeared one after another.

— — the nature of the world had changed to that of a Technological world.

Liu Ping laughed and said, "The humans you've captured are all magic-type creatures, yet you want to compete with me in a technology-type world. Could it be that you want to re-explore the world with me?"

"Pitiful ant" the three-headed skeleton spoke in disdain: "Countless years ago that you are completely unaware of, I had already conquered countless worlds, absorbed countless living beings, grasped all of your high-level knowledge, grasped all of your exquisite skills — —"

"Your only fate is to die in despair."

As soon as he finished speaking, two lines of burning words appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes again.

[The opponent has chosen the World Side]

[Now, please choose your method of war]

Liu Ping said, "I choose the quest-based battle method. The person who completes the other party's mission first will win the other party's card."

Another line of burning words appeared:

[The method of war has been decided]

[Both sides will battle according to the time limit quest]

[The simplified version of the battle is ready]

[Description:]

[— — This is the simplest and most convenient competition of skills and knowledge in a battle of card masters]

[The content of the mission can only be related to technological worlds, and cannot exceed the upper limit of the current world]

The three-headed skeleton immediately noticed.

It observed the ever-changing scenes of human civilization and society around it, and its three heads began to change as well, turning into countless human faces.

After a while.

The head on its left transformed into the appearance of an old human man and said, "You're right.

"I've already seen this era. I must say, you'll need to start learning everything about technology from the very beginning in order to complete my mission:"

The head in the middle turned into a middle-aged man and spoke:

"They've only just begun to grasp the basics of warp theory, they'll need a lot of experimentation and trial and error to accumulate knowledge about warp and complete it"

The head on the right spoke: "Conservatively speaking, it'll take 50 years"

The three faces disappeared.

The three-headed skeleton returned to its original form and laughed: "How about it?

These are a few technology-type human scholars that I've assimilated in the past, they've arranged a time limit quest for you: "

"Complete the knowledge of warp!"

"I believe that you'll be able to complete this within 50 years"

Following its voice, a line of burning words appeared, displaying the contents of the mission.

"Now, it's time for me to give you a mission" Liu Ping spoke.

"It's useless, I've already absorbed all of your human creations, technological knowledge, even literature and art, as long as it's useful, I've already absorbed them all" the three-headed skeleton spoke.

"Then — — my mission is this"

Liu Ping looked at the flashing scenes around him for a while, then suddenly reached his hand out and caught a small rectangular metal box.

He skillfully fiddled with this palm-sized box, then tossed it to the three-headed skeleton.

"The fourth line, the third icon, this is your mission"

Liu Ping spoke.

"The third icon?" the three-headed skeleton doubtfully asked.

"That's right, you'll need to break through it — — this is my time limit quest" Liu Ping spoke.

As soon as he finished.

In the void of space, lines of flaming text appeared between him and the three-headed skeleton.

"Time limit quest begin!"

"Whoever completes the other party's mission first will win this round!"

The three-headed skeleton immediately picked up the small box and quickly clicked on it.

Its head kept changing.

Human elites appeared one after another, staring at the image on the small box.

The first to appear was the old man from before.

He glanced at the animation on the small box and spoke with a complicated expression: "This won't do, to break through this kind of game, you'll need to top up your account first, it's impossible without topping up"

A young man's face also appeared, looking at the small box: "I can roughly judge which character is the strongest, but this game is about to be updated, I'm afraid we'll be weakened halfway through"

A third face appeared, glancing at the image, it immediately clicked on the small box, after a while, it spoke: "No need to think so much, the money has already been transferred, about 2 billion"

"2 billion?"

The old man quickly calculated in his mind, then nodded: "It's enough to upgrade weapons, mounts, costumes, treasures, privileges, inner strength, innate inner strength, acquired inner strength, wings, Illusory Armament, Illusory Armament, Divine Armament, Official Position, Immortal Position ... it's basically enough"

The young man's face spoke: "Then let's begin!"

The three heads stared at the small box and quickly operated it.

On the other side.

Liu Ping found a computer, quickly uploading the technological knowledge of warp onto the internet.

— — -back when he was in the "Temporary Prison of the Useless", when he helped the Combatants of the Technological faction solve their problems, he had already gotten his hands on all the technological knowledge.

Yana saw how quickly he was typing and worriedly asked: "Liu Ping, how is it? Can we win? "

"Of course we can" Liu Ping answered without turning his head.

"You're that confident?" Zhao Chanyi also asked.

"That unspeakable monster collected the essence of human civilization — — so I gave him the dregs of human civilization, the dregs are more useful than the essence"

Saying so, Liu Ping lightly tapped the enter key.

All the warp data was uploaded.

He looked at the other side.

The three human, wise scientist skulls were holding the small box and operating it quickly.

But after a few operations, the small box let out a sound of music.

The three heads couldn't help but stop, a helpless expression on their faces.

"How did we get into the advertisement?

I remember buying VIP! "the old man was surprised.

"Old fool, VIP can't be exempted from advertisements, it has to be VVVVVVVVIP, let me do it" the young man said.

At this time, a few burning words appeared in the air:

[This time limit mission has ended]

[Winner: Liu Ping]

(TN: bro used a web game??? LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
