Shapes and BOMBS

Dark Mist Town. Or what's left of it?

When the ship landed in its ruins, it was already almost evening and night was getting closer and closer.

As soon as the captain of the tactical squad jumped down from the ship, ordered everyone to unload the supplies, check the personnel, load the equipment, and set up a defensive line.

As Liu Ping was now a Card user, no one dared to order him around.

After standing there for a few minutes, he walked into the ruins by himself.

"My lady, I can sense danger" Liu Ping said.

"Of course you can. That person is an experienced killer among Card users, your chances of winning against him as you are right now are very slim" a female voice came.

"Please help me complete the deck"

"Very well" She continued "You can use seven cards in battle. Among them, the Clown Card and the Servant Diety Card must be present, so you have five cards left."

"You want to fight too?" Liu Ping asked in surprise.

"I can't — — although our fates are intertwined, I'm currently extremely weak and can't participate in battle" Torment replied.

"Alright" Liu Ping helplessly said.

— — -that's one less card.

She thought for a bit, then said: "From now on, you can call me Yana"

"Yana?"

"Yes, Liu Ping, the first thing we need to do right now is — — take out your Clown card"

"Very well" Liu Ping handed the card to her.

Yana held the card in her hand and showed it to him, then said: "There's a huge problem with this card"

"What is it?" Liu Ping asked.

"Its costume is outdated, it looks too old-fashioned, I want to change it a bit" Saying so, Yana stuck the card on Liu Ping's chest.

A few moments later.

Liu Ping turned into the clown.

"Look, this colorful robe is a popular style from the God-Bestowed Era before the Nightmare Era. It's too fancy and too long, we'll cut it a bit shorter to make it easier for you to fight" Saying so, Yana took out a pair of scissors and casually cut the clown's robe.

The colorful costume quickly took on a new look, looking a bit like a warrior's outfit, but the colors, diamond-shaped squares and red heart patterns on the clothes made it look less like a warrior's outfit.

"Bow tie." Yana took out a bow tie and tied it around Liu Ping's neck.

She took out a pair of scissors and cut a hairstyle for Liu Ping. Then, she looked at him with admiration and said, "You're already good-looking. We need a hairstyle that can highlight your features. Let's see."

Liu Ping's hair was combed neatly to the back and then shaped with magic, forming a layered back.

"And then you need this." She lit a cigar and stuffed it into his mouth.

"The pointy boots give off a strange feeling, but the color is old. I personally like black" Yana said.

The boots were changed to black.

"This will not be of any help to our battle at all." Liu Ping was puzzled.

"Remember, if you're not handsome in battle, even if you win, you can still die. That's because you're too mediocre, not displaying any beauty" she said.

"No matter how handsome I am, I could still be killed by the enemy in the end" Liu Ping said helplessly.

Yana looked at Huan Ran and his group, her eyes filled with admiration.

She slowly reached her hand out, stroked his thick eyeshadow a few times, then took off her mask and blew a breath of hot air into his ear.

"If you're killed, then you're killed. Even until your death, you'll still be handsome — — - look, this look is wicked enough, barely worthy of fighting alongside me."

"… Let's get back to the main topic, there are still 5 cards left" Liu Ping said.

"Take out all your weapons" Yana said.

Liu Ping then placed the items on the ground one by one.

Handgun, mini submachine gun, double-barreled shotgun, cards: Rock of Nothingness, Snow Shadow Blade— — - and nothing else.

Yana looked at them one by one, then said: "The handgun and mini submachine gun are too weak, not qualified to be a card. The double-barreled shotgun and a set of Divine Bullets barely qualify as a card. That Rock of Nothingness naturally counts as a card. Your blade is very interesting, so it can be counted as a card." "Then that's three, we still need to find two more cards" Liu Ping said.

Yana suddenly drew a card from the void of space, looked at it, then said: "As a card user, you actually have the right to mobilize a portion of the team's resources. How about you go take a look at what the team brought and get two of them?"

"Good idea" Liu Ping said.

Yana is a Divinity, so she must have some abilities that I don't understand.

If she's willing to give me advice, there must be a reason for it.

Liu Ping left the ruins, and found the tactical team's captain, after a short discussion, he quickly returned with the items.

"What is it?" Yana asked.

"I heard that it's a type of bomb that Lady Agony ordered to be developed. It's extremely powerful and can explode repeatedly within a certain range, blowing up a large area!" Liu Ping excitedly said.

"That's exactly what I'm talking about. It can be of great help to you, did you get anything else?" Yana asked.

"I suddenly remembered that I still have a piece of armor" Liu Ping put the sword cultivator armor on the ground.

This is the armor that Life Sezing Scholar Xie DongLiu of Profundity Palace gifted to me.

— — -this armor was originally made to make it easier for sword cultivators to kill demons, so it's exceptionally sturdy.

"Hm, this armor is quite decent for you" Yana said with satisfaction.

She stepped forward and took off her pure-white mask, revealing a face that could captivate all living beings.

Her eyes were golden in color, occasionally giving off sparks of golden light, giving off a natural sense of charm. But if you silently stared at her, you'd feel a sense of holiness and majesty.

Her red lips were exceptionally bright, while her skin was exceedingly white, almost like a piece of cold snow.

"Give me your hand" Yana said.

"Ah?"

"Aaaaaaah!"

"— — Be more gentle!" Liu Ping shouted in pain.

Yana didn't care about that, bit Liu Ping's arm, sucked his blood, and spat it into the void of space.

She stretched out her hand and quickly drew lines in the blood mist. At the same time, she chanted, "In thy name, bear my divine might, and let all living things be in order. Let them do their best in this sacred place for my Lord to use. This is holy!"

All the blood-colored lines lit up and flew out, turning into rectangular boxes that encircled the items on the ground.

Double-barreled shotgun, Snow Shadow Blade, bomb, armor.

The four items flew up and quickly shrunk, turning into blood-colored cards that fell into Liu Ping's hand.

"And that Rock of nothingness, five cards, plus you and me, this is your team" Yana wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said.

"You have to bite me to make a card?" Liu Ping covered his hand and asked.

"Your power is' Hoy', while mine is' Torment'— —' Tormenting 'will allow me to regain my power, then I can enslave all living beings and all things" Yana explained.

Liu Ping silently sighed.

It was only now that he finally understood why Yana asked him if he'd been bitten before.

The sound of an aircraft landing could be heard from outside.

— — they're here!

The two of them exchanged glances.

"Remember, among these cards, other than that Rock of Nothingness, the rest are all very normal cards. Before using them, you must use the clown's identity to turn them into your Exclusive cards, only then will you have a chance of winning" Yana seriously reminded him.

"Got it" Liu Ping replied.

"He's looking for you" Yana looked outside.

"Leave the rest to me" Liu Ping said.

Yana pressed her hand on Liu Ping's chest and said softly, "Don't lose. Otherwise, I'll become someone else's slave, or perhaps I'll fall into a deep slumber in the depths of Evernight."

Liu Ping was silent for a few breaths before asking, "Can 'Torment' help you recover your strength?"

Yana couldn't help but laugh. She said in a low voice, "If you make me happy, other than 'Tormenting' me, I can also 'please' you occasionally." She forcefully pulled at Liu Ping's chest.

The Clown Card was pulled out. Together with Yana and the other cards, they entered Liu Ping's arms and turned into a neat stack of cards.

The surroundings returned to silence.

In the next second, the silence was broken.

"Aha, so you were hiding here." A voice came from the entrance of the ruins.

Liu Ping slowly raised his head and looked ahead.

He saw Luo Sheng standing at the door with a smile on his face as he waved at him.

"Luo Sheng! How did you find me? "Liu Ping happily smiled, waved back at him, and asked loudly.

"The ruins are only so big, it was easy to find you. Speaking of which, what are you doing here by yourself?"

"I was going to pee, but since you're here — — want to pee together?" Liu Ping smiled.

"… I'll wait for you outside. Right, there's a challenge event for new card users with rewards. Give it a try, it's fine if you fail, you won't really die, don't worry." He didn't even look back as he walked outside, took out a card and slammed it on the ground.

In an instant, the entire ruin disappeared along with Liu Ping.

The entire building was gone!

Luo Sheng's expression relaxed as he took out a cigarette and lit it up.

That card was a world card, inside it was a magic town and a dungeon that he created himself.

Although I'm not afraid of fighting, Liu Ping has an unknown card in his hand — — why should I take the risk?

I'll let him fight with my subordinates, and when he's exhausted, I'll go in and claim the fruits of victory.

— — -maybe when I go in, he'll already be dead.

Then.

If his servant divinity wasn't willing to slumber eternally in the Eternal Night, then it had to become his card, and that unknown card of his would also become his.

Luo Sheng happily took a drag of his cigarette, then quickly walked towards the tactical squad.

— — -strange.

Why did the squad leader turn around as soon as he saw me?

The smile on Luo Sheng's face disappeared as he quickly walked forward and grabbed him: "Were you trying to avoid me just now?"

"Not at all, we just didn't have enough resources. Luo Sheng, you're a great card user, so you don't need to ask us for things" the squad leader smiled apologetically.

Take — — things — — "What did Liu Ping ask from you?" Luo Sheng shouted with a heavy expression.

"It's nothing much. He just took the latest product" the team leader said hesitantly.

"What exactly is it!?"

"A bomb that the Goddess ordered us to create, a fusion of magic and technology, capable of piercing through the defenses of Professionists and destroying an entire town"

A bomb.

The Goddess' bomb.

"… Bastard!!!" Luo Sheng angrily shouted, then took a few steps back and disappeared without a trace.

He appeared on a small path paved with stone.

There were mountains all around him.

At the end of the small path was a bustling town.

There was still time!

Luo Sheng let out a sigh of relief and immediately ran towards the town.

Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something. He stopped in his tracks and shouted towards a large tree a few dozen meters away: "Who is it? Liu Ping? Come out! "A figure jumped out from behind the large tree and stood on the branch.

This person had combed his hair back and was wearing colorful clothes. He wore a pair of black pointy boots, and thick eyeshadow covered both sides of his face. His blood-red lips were curved in an arc, revealing his white teeth — — but you wouldn't think that he was smiling.

The strange aura that he gave off made people feel like he was a demon practicing a human's smile.

"That town is the place for the prize-giving challenge?" the clown asked.

"… Yes, you haven't gone there yet?" Luo Sheng said as he inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.

"Let's not talk about that for now. The countdown is about to begin" the clown excitedly said.

Three, two, one.

In the distance — — a pillar of fire suddenly shot up into the sky from the small town. A violent explosion could be heard from afar, causing the ground to shake!

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

It was like the roar of a giant god. Then — — the shockwave turned into a raging wind that ferociously blew in this direction.

Luo Sheng stood in the wind, his entire body seeming like an empty shell.

That small town — — there were quite a few experts in that small town. They were all capable subordinates that he had carefully nurtured.

But now, it was all over.

The amount of resources required to revive them was simply too shocking.

Even he found it difficult to bear.

It was an entire town.

He had painstakingly accumulated all of the resources, and he had personally built every piece of equipment.

But now, it was destroyed … Luo Sheng slowly raised his head and looked at the person standing on the branch.

That person swayed in the wind as he danced and laughed, "The Magic Town is finished. Luo Sheng? what do you think?!"
