Purgatory Artist-Chapter 259: Convergence
Chapter 259 - Convergence
Purgatory.
Although there was no daylight, the darkness here was still called night.
Inside the grand castle, candles were lit everywhere and music was being played.
A ball was being held.
"Sir Director, it seems I'm not a qualified dance partner"
"What's the matter?"
"Because you weren't paying attention when you were dancing with me"
The girl lightly pinched his hand and winked mischievously.
"I'm sorry, Athene, among the Goddesses, you're always the most elegant one, and I was blinded by some mundane matters, I'll apologize to you later"
The elegant man said 'excuse me' and slowly left the dance floor, turning around to leave.
The Goddess called Athene looked at the man's back, her eyes flickering.
"Investigate what exactly happened recently to make the head of the Council lose his composure like that."
She said in a low voice.
A voice came from the void of space: "Understood."
The man left the castle, his figure flashed across several worlds and returned to a spacious, empty office.
He sat down, casually flipped through some documents, then scowled.
"Damn it"
His voice became cold and gloomy.
My main body was sealed away.
This completely messed up my plan, I can't act rashly right now.
The man closed his eyes with a confused expression.
He murmured softly,
"Ever since the Void Divine Pillar shattered, the power of the human race has been exhausted. All the prisoners will gradually break out of their cells."
"Even at this point in time, someone was still able to seal me away."
"... This is truly unbelievable."
Suddenly.
A piece of parchment appeared from the void of space.
The man received it, then disappeared from his seat.
He appeared in a meeting room.
This room was already filled with evil creatures and members of various races.
"Everyone, we're calling for an emergency meeting."
A two-horned evil creature declared.
"What is it about?"
Someone asked.
"The issue with the Sequence world 'The Fool 3-6912' has been confirmed, half of its core deck was stolen."
"Which idiot did it?"
"It was humans."
Silence.
Someone loudly declared: "They've released the prisoners! This race doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth! "
Someone else spoke up: "I've taken a look myself, the prisoners are frozen inside the Fool's world."
The meeting room was in an uproar.
"They're seeking death, and they want to drag us down with them!"
"That's right!"
"These damned slaves!"
"Quiet! Quiet! "
There was a hubbub of voices.
After a while, the conference room finally quieted down.
"Does anyone have any suggestions regarding this matter?"
The evil creature in charge of reporting asked.
For a moment, no one spoke.
The man's eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened.
A thoughtful look appeared on his face as he slowly raised his hand.
"Director No.7, please go ahead."
"Alright, then I'll explain."
The man chuckled and spread his hands. "The Fool's Sequence world is where we nurture and select human slaves. Now, it's been destroyed, but fortunately, the prisoner is still sealed inside."
"What I want to say is that in response to this situation, we should probably launch a large-scale clean-up operation."
"Exterminate?"
"Clear out the remaining humans near the world of The Fool's Sequence. Kill all the troublemakers and retrieve the core card of The Fool's Sequence. Get everything back on track."
The man finished speaking.
Many members fell into deep thought.
The man looked around, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a look of ridicule flashed across his face.
He showed a sincere smile again.
He continued, "I know what everyone is worried about, but I'm more worried about one thing."
"For countless years, we've been enslaving the human race."
"Take a guess, if we still ignore this matter and they really release the prisoner, then we ..."
He paused deliberately and continued in a relaxed tone, "Of course, that's extremely unlikely, but we have to prepare for a rainy day. Also, I think that this clean-up operation doesn't need to go deep into Evernight, we only need to clear out the area near the Fool's World."
The atmosphere in the conference room immediately relaxed a lot.
The man coughed lightly and explained, "I don't believe that humans dare to go deep into other areas of Evernight."
"Perhaps some humans are very bold, but if they dare to go deep into Evernight, then the only outcome waiting for them is the complete dissipation of their souls."
"So."
"Launch the clean-up operation, eliminate all disasters in the cradle, this is what we should do."
"I'm done."
There was silence for a while.
"I agree, it's time to clean up the humans."
"Those humans were only selected targets, and their strength was completely suppressed. They must have taken risks to do this."
"They need to be punished."
"Yes, they need to remain respectful."
"Clean them up and retrieve the Card, this is the right thing to do."
"..."
The Gods and Devils all agreed.
The Archdevil in charge of the meeting said loudly, "This proposal is very pertinent. Why don't we start voting right away?"
A few minutes later.
It announced, "The proposal is approved!"
"Clean up all humans within 100 million square kilometers of the Fool's World."
"Kill without mercy!"
...
Evernight.
Beside the snowy mountain.
Hua Qingkong pressed her hand on the frost seal, carefully sensing the battle inside.
A few moments later.
She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and sighed, "There's no other way, he's dead, we need to quickly escape, otherwise ..."
She suddenly shut her mouth, then suddenly screamed:
"Wait!"
"It's Occultism! It's actually Occultism! "
As soon as she finished.
The endless frost began to disintegrate and dissipate.
Hua Qingkong had no choice but to hover in mid-air, looking down at the changes in the Sequence world below.
When the frost melted, the frozen world also gradually disappeared.
Three figures appeared deep inside the cliff.
Liu Ping, Yana, Zhao Chanyi.
They noticed Hua Qingkong and quickly flew towards her.
"You're here."
Liu Ping said.
Hua Qingkong sized him up, her gaze quickly falling on the doll at his waist.
"Even back then, Occultism technique was very rare, countless people yearned for it, do you know why?"
Hua Qingkong quickly said.
"Why?" Liu Ping asked.
At this time, the three-headed skeleton doll began to speak:
"Foolish mortals, you dare to imprison me like this, just you wait, I'll remember you, one day in the future, I'll ruthlessly torture you."
Hua Qingkong ignored it and said:
"Because the huge amount of Soul Power needed to release Occultism has to be borne by the dead, and the caster doesn't have to pay any price." Hua Qingkong said.
The doll continued to interject, "Even in the past, this is a rather terrifying technique. You've hit the jackpot this time."
Liu Ping ignored it and said to Hua Qingkong: "I'm more and more curious about who you are, right, where's the real Hua Qingkong?"
Hua Qingkong's expression slowly changed, her eyes turned from dark purple to light black.
The feeling of emptiness and desolation on her body completely retreated, revealing the youthful aura of a young girl.
"I'm here, Liu Ping, it's great to see that you're fine." She smiled faintly.
Liu Ping heaved a sigh of relief and said: "How are you getting along with her?"
"Don't worry, she saved me in danger, and I used myself to accommodate her, we saved each other." Hua Qingkong said.
The doll snorted: "So it's that guy, another loser."
Yana and Zhao Chanyi, who had been nervous, also relaxed slightly.
"That's good, I've been flying for too long, the weakness caused by the curse has erupted again, I need to rest for a while." Yana said tiredly.
She conveniently stabbed Liu Ping in the back.
"I've also just advanced, I'll go back and consolidate my realm." Zhao Chanyi sighed.
She slapped Liu Ping.
The two turned into cards and flew back into the book.
"Ahhhhhhh, you damned humans!" The doll let out a painful howl.
Liu Ping looked helpless, he slowly pulled out the Shadow Blade from his chest and said: "The person who shot us, what happened to him?"
"Killed" Hua Qingkong said simply.
"Looks like I don't need to worry, but there are still some people in Mechanus who want to deal with us." Liu Ping said.
"Mechanus is already under my control." Hua Qingkong said.
Liu Ping looked at her deeply and said:
"Let's go find Libertas and Norton first, there are many things I need to discuss with you."
"Okay, but we have to do one thing first." Hua Qingkong said.
"What?" Liu Ping asked.
Hua Qingkong pointed at the three-headed skeleton doll hanging on Liu Ping's waist and said: "It's too eye-catching, we can't let anyone know that it's sealed on you, or it might cause big trouble."
"It has partners?" Liu Ping asked.
"Not just partners, it has other true bodies, but when the seal was completed, those true bodies lost contact with it, we don't know what happened." Hua Qingkong said.
Liu Ping hesitated: "Then ..."
Hua Qingkong said: "Add another layer of seal and change its appearance, I can do this."
Her pupils turned dark purple again, she put her hands together and gently stopped in front of the doll.
"What do you want this doll to look like?" she asked.
Liu Ping shrugged and said: "I don't care."
Hua Qingkong thought: "Then ..."
"Wait a minute!"
The card tome opened automatically, and a voice sounded from it.
Yana said: "I think a brown bear hanging on Liu Ping's waist will suit him better."
"Bear?" Zhao Chanyi suddenly said: "Bears are so clumsy, I don't think so."
"Then what do you think?" Yana was not convinced.
"You have to understand, Liu Ping has always liked cats, we cats are the best companions." Zhao Chanyi said.
"Cats? Cats in heat? "Yana sneered.
"Bastard! This doll is a monster, it wants to kill Liu Ping, not because of what you said! "
"Oh? Am I talking about it? "
"Yana, you're courting death!"
Bang!
Liu Ping closed the card tome.
The voice disappeared.
Hua Qingkong looked at him with a smile.
"What do you want this dark doll to look like?
You need to make a decision. "She said.
"Let's make it a panda." Liu Ping said helplessly.
"A rare mammal, let me try."
Hua Qingkong gently pointed forward with her hand.
There was a soft sound.
The three-headed skeleton turned into a black and white panda doll, hanging on Liu Ping's waist and shaking back and forth.
"Damn it! You're humiliating me! "
The panda roared angrily.
Liu Ping slowly stabbed the long sword into his chest, and suggested amidst the panda doll's screams:
"Can you stop talking? If you can shut up, I'll be faster next time and let you suffer less. "
The panda's roar stopped instantly.
It even gave Liu Ping an awkward smile.
