"How did all of you do it!?"
The recollection came to an end as time returned to the moment Earthbound Yaksha exclaimed in surprise.
Earthbound Yaksha obviously did not expect that the Daoist priest, who looked inconspicuous, would be able to produce the trump card of 'Telepathic Link' that could turn the tables in a desperate situation. Therefore, there was no way for it to guess the complicated changes that had happened in the precious ten minutes they had bestowed.
The script that Speechless had plotted out had been played out without a single mistake. It could even be said that the development was much smoother than he had expected.
Sunless had perfectly completed the most critical and most difficult mission. Pulp Farmer had not let down their hard work either. He had found the location of the formation core in such a short period of time.
Therefore, there was only the final step left!
Speechless looked up into the sky and revealed a smile. The paper cranes were flying towards the same spot. Everything was proceeding smoothly.
"How did all of you do it!?"
Earthbound Yaksha asked coldly once again.
Speechless shot a glance at it and let out a scoff before ignoring it.
He obviously would not be as stupid as Shadow Wraith to tell the enemy their secret. Furthermore, the setup in those ten minutes was not something that could be explained in a sentence or two. A particular conscientious author who did not know how to write had spent six thousand words to barely explain it clearly.
Furthermore, Field Marshal Awesomo had already acted out what it meant by 'villains die from talking too much'. He did not want to cooperate and act out a hilarious scene of 'righteous villains die from talking too much'.
"Hmph! Whatever. Regardless of how you did it, all you did was find the formation core. If you think you can destroy the formation core under our noses, you are too naive! "
Earthbound Yaksha sneered. Even if they knew the location of the formation core, it did not mean that they could successfully destroy it.
Earthbound Yaksha shot a glance at Shadow Wraith who was still roaring 'impossible'. It deeply understood what it meant to be 'not afraid of a god-like opponent, but afraid of a pig-like teammate'. It frowned and said in a deep voice, "Shadow Wraith! Calm down! It's just that the location of the formation core has been exposed. The God Slaughtering Formation has not been cracked! Furthermore, so what if it has been cracked? Our mission is to kill all the trial-takers. Regardless of the process, we just need to achieve the outcome! "
"Oh heh … Oh heh heh … Yes, you are right. Kill them all! Kill them all! Just kill them all! " The Shadow Wraith stopped screaming miserably. Because it was too afraid of being tortured by that Lord, even its voice was trembling. However, it was also because of fear that the trembling emotion sounded hysterical and crazy.
"Kill kill kill kill kill …"
The cold voice continued to spit out from the head of the Shadow Wraith that was being strangled. Suddenly, the Shadow Wraith that was attached to the ground stood up like a puddle of black sludge.
This jet-black sludge body expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, instantly reaching the height of several stories.
Speechless' shadow hand that was holding onto his neck instantly exploded. With a frown, he jumped back and quickly opened up a distance.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill them all! "
Dozens of thick black tentacles stretched out from the huge silt body, slapping the ground hard as if they had gone mad.
It looked like a gigantic octopus made of black sludge that was several stories tall. However, it did not have eight tentacles, but dozens of them. They were even constantly growing.
"If you think that as Lords, we do not have trump cards that we would only use in times of danger, then you are too naive."
Earthbound Yaksha's body suddenly expanded several times. Its grayish-black skin was suddenly covered in scarlet flowing lines. The aura it emitted was several times more terrifying than before.
"To be able to crack the Shadow Shackles and find the core of the formation, your excellence has exceeded my expectations. But everything shall end here. The Wraith and I in a forbidden state will not give you any chances! "
Just like how most bosses would suddenly go berserk when in a red blood state, Earthbound Yaksha and Shadow Wraith would naturally use forbidden powers that required them to pay a price when they were in a perilous situation!
"Indeed …"
However, Speechless laughed.
"Oh?"
An ominous feeling arose in Earthbound Yaksha's heart.
"Since you did not use all your strength, This Emperor will naturally not use all his trump cards. Sorry, This Emperor still has a final trump card! "
As Speechless said that, he looked up into the sky.
At some point in time, the paper cranes that were circling in the sky had gathered at the same spot. They were arranged in an orderly fashion, forming a distinct shape.
From afar, it looked like a gigantic 'arrow' drawn in the sky!
And this' arrow 'was pointing to a particular spot on the ground!
"The core of the formation is there. Everything is ready. Then, we will leave our final trump card to you!"
Speechless held his hands to his mouth like a trumpet and took a deep breath. He shouted with all his might!
"Mu Yuesheng!"
As the voice resounded, a figure took a step forward from Pulp Farmer's side.
A girl who had been hiding in a blind spot, to the point where her name had not appeared in the story for a long time, had entered the sights of everyone at that moment.
She was wearing a simple short-sleeved shirt and a thin summer sweater. She matched it with a gray pleated skirt. There was not a single gorgeous color embellished her clothes.
She had cut her short brown hair that reached her shoulders. Along with her long hair, the delicateness and coquettishness of a girl were removed.
She had a pair of brown eyes. It was a beautiful color that belonged to a girl, but it looked like it was filled with the determination of a youth.
Her name was Mu Yuesheng. It was a name that might be forgotten if it was not mentioned again. It was a name that only appeared a few times. It was a name that did not seem to have any effect even if it disappeared in the story.
She, who had appeared on the same stage as Dawn Li, Sunless, and Mu Lengxi, was ranked last in terms of looks. Similarly, she was the weakest. Even the meaning of her existence was not worth mentioning.
But!
But at this moment, everyone had to look at this brown-haired girl who had been neglected the most!
After that moment, everyone would definitely remember her!
Because, at that moment, she was the protagonist!
Because …
She was in the true meaning of the story named 'saving Shi Xiaobai'.
— The final trump card!
.....
"What? The final trump card? Brother Speechless … are you joking!? "
"Hey, does this look like the time to joke around? Yuesheng, don't you have too little faith in your brother? "
"Well, it's not that I don't believe in you, it's just … I don't believe in myself … Compared to all of you, I'm too weak. Trump card … is impossible, right?"
"Pfft! You are too weak? Heavens, if it's purely in terms of super long-range attacks, Shi Xiaobai and I will be left in the dust by you, alright!? "
"Ah … Stop joking! This joke … isn't funny at all … My longest range attack, 'Extreme Electric Beam', only has an attack range of about a kilometer. It clearly doesn't even reach the standards of super long-range attacks. "
"Uh … So … you still haven't realized the existence of 'that move' …"
"That move?"
"Well, back when I learned of your superpower, I immediately thought of 'that move'. I never expected you to not realize it even now …"
"Eh? Back then? "
"Well, as I was a little worried, I investigated your situation three years ago."
"Is that so …"
"Are you angry?"
"It's not that I'm angry, but I'm a little … Forget it, let's talk about 'that move'? What is' that move 'that I still haven't realized? "
"Alright, I wonder if you have heard of a military weapon with extremely high destructive power called 'Electromagnetic Cannon'?"
"Electromagnetic Cannon? I've never heard of it … "
"If that's the case, then it looks like I have to start from the principles. Listen carefully."
"Alright, I'm listening."
"Electromagnetic Cannon is a kinetic weapon that uses electromagnetic firing technology. It was researched by the military a long time ago and is still being improved to this day. It mainly consists of a power source, a high-speed switch, an acceleration device, and a cannon shell. And your superpower, 'Electromagnetic Physique', can simulate the first three. You can use a metal object as a cannon shell, achieving an effect similar to an electromagnetic cannon. The main point of this move is how to use 'Electromagnetic Physique' to simulate the electromagnetic cannon's power source, high-speed switch, and acceleration device. I'll explain the principles in detail to you — your 'Electromagnetic Physique' can generate electricity naturally, so any part of your body can be used as a power source. And as long as you think of a way to reduce the time needed to generate electricity, high-speed switch won't be a problem. So the most important thing is how to simulate the acceleration device. The current electromagnetic cannons are divided into four types according to the acceleration device: Coil Cannons, Rail Cannons, Electrothermal Cannons, and Reconnection Cannons. But the basic principle is that they all use the Lorentz force generated by the change in the magnetic field to generate kinetic energy for the cannon shell, so … "
"Wait … Wait a minute! I don't understand starting from the acceleration device part. Coil Cannons, Rail Cannons, and so on … Oh, can you repeat this part again, a little slower? "
"Alright, no problem. The rest of the time belongs to you, no matter how many times you repeat it. You are our final trump card!"
"Ah! Final trump card? That sounds so unreal. Can I really … do it? To learn such a powerful move in such a short time just based on the principles, can I really … do it? "
"You can, I believe in you."
"Believe in me?"
"That's right. I still remember back when you left the Mu family, you held my hand and said to me — 'Even if I leave this place, I will still be me. I will still be that Mu Yuesheng who will never admit defeat. When we meet again in the future, I will still not change. Well, I should say that I will definitely become even more outstanding. So, don't argue with the adults for me. Believe in me, I will be fine …'"
"Ahhh, don't say anymore. I don't know the person who said such words!"
"Haha, you are still the same as when you were young. You really haven't changed at all. You are still that …"
"Oh …"
"Sorry, the final trump card means the greatest pressure. However, I still chose to place it on you because I know you can shoulder it … Because from a very, very long time ago, you have always been the Mu Yuesheng that I truly admire from the bottom of my heart. You are the strong Mu Yuesheng that will never admit defeat!"
"Brother …"
"So, become the trump card that will make everyone look at you in a different light, my dear sister!"
"Not a sister, a cousin."
"Hey, is that the main point?"
"Yes, I will become the trump card. Capricious … Cousin."
.....
.....
"Trump card …"
Mu Yuesheng muttered softly as she took out a coin from her shirt pocket. It was an ordinary coin, but it was not ordinary at all.
This was because the black-haired youth who stuffed the coin into her palm had once said to her in an extremely serious tone — "This is not an ordinary coin, but a God's Coin!"
A God's Coin was also known as "God's Coin".
If there really was a "God" in this world, then wasn't the youth who had brought her all the way from the third level, and had used a strange massage technique to change her Mind Expanse, to the point of changing her life's fate an existence akin to a "God" to her?
In that case, the coin that he "rewarded" her was really a God's Coin.
And now, this adorable, respectable "God" who could be grateful for a lifetime was trapped in a terrifying world known as the "God Slaughtering Formation". She had become the final trump card that could save him, and she held the power to save him.
Then, what … was there for her to hesitate about?
Yes.
There was nothing for her to hesitate about!
"I am the trump card!"
Mu Yuesheng took a step forward and turned her body sideways. She stretched out her right arm and aimed it at the other end of the land, where countless paper cranes formed an "arrowhead".
The God's Coin quietly stood upright on her index finger, leaning close to her bent thumb. It was like a cannonball that was about to be fired.
Icy-blue bolts of lightning sizzled as they wrapped around the outstretched arm. They were restless and jumping as they became more and more intense.
"All the best."
This was the voice of Pulp Farmer, who was standing not far away.
However, Mu Yuesheng knew that all her partners, who were standing on this piece of land, were doing their best for the same goal. They were definitely shouting the same two words in their hearts.
She was not only bearing the burden of being the "final trump card", she was also bearing their hopes and hard work.
This was a very, very heavy pressure.
But no matter how heavy it was, she would straighten her back.
Because she was.
The strong Mu Yuesheng!
You need power?
Then take all the electric charges in my body!
The icy-blue bolts of lightning that wrapped around her arm suddenly began to jump crazily, like a continuous rumble of thunder in the clouds.
You need a high-speed switch?
Hmph, even if my finger is completely crippled, I will definitely compress that instant to the shortest!
The thumb that was on her index finger suddenly pressed down forcefully, leaving a deep mark on her index finger. Then, at the moment when the bolts of lightning were at their most turbulent, her thumb had flicked at the coin between her two fingers at the fastest speed possible!
You need an acceleration device?
Magnetic field changes, Lorentz force, kinetic acceleration … I have even memorized such a complicated process. I, who have worked so hard, will work even harder. So … Succeed! I beg you!
As the electric current pulsed, the God's Coin had set off!
Therefore …
"Come back! Shi Xiaobai! "
No one knew who it was, no one knew who it was, no one knew how many people it was, but at that moment, all of them let out such a cry at the same time.
"Boom!"
The coin that was known as the "electromagnetic cannon" was too fast. It was so fast that its trajectory could not be seen. But because it was fast, everyone could see it reach its destination in an instant.
Like a real cannon explosion, the piece of land that the paper crane was pointing at was blasted into dust. Even the paper crane was sent flying in fright.
"Did it succeed?"
This was the question that everyone was concerned about.
"Gu …"
Shadow Wraith nervously gulped a mouthful of saliva that did not exist.
Suddenly, golden beams of light shot out from the desolate land and shot straight into the sky. The golden beams were continuous, forming a resplendent golden mirror.
If one were to look down from the sky, they would discover that the golden beams of light formed a pattern that resembled a six-pointed star, but it was much more complicated than a six-pointed star.
"No, no, no, no!"
Shadow Wraith screamed hysterically once again.
And amidst the screams, all the golden mirrors suddenly disintegrated!
"The God Slaughtering Formation has actually been cracked."
Earthbound Yaksha sighed helplessly.
Amidst the sigh,
A golden beam of light that resembled a waterfall fell from the sky and landed on the basin, right in the middle of the shattered formation pattern.
In the dazzling golden beam of light, two blurry figures could be seen.
"Shi Xiaobai …"
Although they were covered in golden light, preventing them from seeing their appearances, one of the figures was no doubt the youth they were familiar with from the height of the figure.
"Haha, you are indeed still alive. This Emperor knew you wouldn't die!" Speechless laughed heartily.
"Oh, Benefactor Shi Xiaobai, This Penniless Priest said that your glabella is black and that it's an ominous omen, but you refused to believe me. Look, you even wanted This Penniless Priest to help you transcend the tribulations." Liu Yu rubbed his eyes.
"Ahem, Brother Shi Xiaobai, I think we need to discuss in depth how to use the paper cranes to posture." Pulp Farmer secretly ordered the paper cranes to form the words' Shi Xiaobai, I want to learn how to posture 'in the sky. The flustered paper cranes expressed that it was too difficult and that they were truly unable to do it.
"Boss Shi Xiaobai …" Feng Yuanlin, who was the most carefree, was silent like a pretty boy.
"Shi Xiaobai!" Mu Yuesheng placed her right hand, which had a completely swollen thumb, behind her back. She raised her left hand and waved it, summoning the 'God' she admired.
Mu Lengxi, who could not speak or even cry, did not cry this time. She squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly.
They did not know what kind of danger he had survived in another world.
He also did not know how much effort they had put in to save him.
But at the moment they met again …
No matter how sorrowful the experience was …
They could feel each other's warmth.
Sunless stared intently at the faintly discernible familiar figure in the golden light.
His face, which had been tense all this time, finally softened.
She raised her delicate hand and gently twirled a strand of hair by her cheek.
Her eyes were slightly red.
A gentle smile bloomed on her lips.
Ah.
Shi Xiaobai.
"Welcome back."
