The same applies to the infinite deception in Kotoba.
But its power cannot be denied.
And it's fun.
The latter is most important to the Masked Fool.
With this skill, he could turn Zagreb into a source of amusement.
Qiong decided to give this skill card to the cat.
Don't you think these two mischievous mother and daughter cats are a perfect match?
Just when things were relatively weak, this epic buff came at the perfect time.
As for Qiong herself.
Just let the cat move around on its own when needed.
"Cenathous, will He truly slumber here?"
The whispers of the butterfly brought Qiong back to reality from her joy and the various scenarios that arose from her abilities.
"Mimi! (So, we're going to use the Philosopher's Stone to conjure up the Titans here?)"
Returning from the world of memories, Mimi leaned back on Qiong's shoulder.
"You'll know once you go in and take a look."
Qiong stored the skill card into her system space, while Phyllis waited for an opportunity to use it. She took the lead and led the girls behind her into Stikocia.
PS:
Volume 1: Chapter 896 feels like blatant cheating.
"Turn back...turn back..."
"Ahead lies the realm of the dead."
The low, ethereal voice, like a flickering candle in the wind, echoed eerily through the moss-covered, dilapidated streets.
A butterfly shimmering with an eerie purple light fluttered by, its wings scattering specks of phosphorescent light like dust.
"Mmm~mmm? (What a beautiful butterfly! Is it talking to us?)"
Mimi nestled on Qiong's shoulder, her big eyes curiously following the purple streak of light.
"These are Death Whisper Butterflies; wherever many have perished, their fluttering figures can always be seen."
Xiaodie explained softly:
"In Aedria, some believe that they are the mercy of Senatos, who transformed the last lingering thoughts of the dead into these creatures, as if creating specimens of life."
"Others believe that they are messengers of death, guiding the souls of the dead to the underworld."
"The latter explanation seems more credible."
On March 7th, he twirled the gothic-style black umbrella in his hand, tilting his head to glance at the illusory figures on the roadside.
“I remember it clearly, there weren’t this many people in town last time we were here. It’s like a ghost market now.”
"These fish are too agile, they don't seem like illusions."
Hazel followed behind Sora.
"them......"
Having the ability to communicate with the souls of the dead, Xia Die sensed it briefly, her beautiful eyes slightly widening in surprise.
"They are the true souls of the victims, not illusions, but wandering spirits that have not returned here."
"Logically, shouldn't souls be lining up to be reincarnated along the River Styx? They're all stuck here now. Is there a traffic jam at the underworld tollbooth?"
As Qiong spoke, she walked very naturally toward a merchant spirit who was selling his wares at a virtual stall by the roadside, and casually picked up a shimmering fish from the fish basket the man was holding.
"Huh? Why can the living touch items that are spirits?"
Tian opened her left eye wide in surprise, and the others also looked incredulous.
"What personal belongings? This is my crystal."
Qiong throws the crystal into the expanded system panel, and the number of crystals in the upper right corner increases by 1.
"oh."
Upon hearing the word "crystal," the girls' eyes immediately cleared.
They've clearly gotten used to it.
Hathaway once saw the king steal the small stool Caesar used to sit on the throne, claiming it was a treasure chest.
This left the majestic Emperor Caesar frozen in place before his throne.
In front of the entire court, she was caught in a dilemma: whether to sit or not.
You can't exactly jump or climb up there, can you?
Where is Caesar's majesty?
He could only feign composure, change the subject, and hastily end the court session, then chase his teacher all over the palace with murderous intent.
Haiseyin also suffered at the hands of the king, who reached into her stomach and grabbed the bubbles that were rising from it, saying they were crystals.
Getting a Soul Fish is nothing special.
Compared to more than two hundred years ago, the Styx River appears to be more turbulent and swift, with undercurrents and a significantly higher water level.
The waters of the River Styx look beautiful, like a starry sky sprinkled with fine stardust.
Once touched by a living person, it will feel an unimaginable heaviness and stickiness, as if soaked in flowing mercury.
For ordinary people, let alone swimming across the river, even a little bit of water poses an extremely high risk of drowning.
While Qiong and her group didn't encounter any major hardships, they certainly traversed the terrain with ease.
Are Mimi and March 7th there?
Both of them could use the power of time to lift the veil of time and take everyone back to the time before the River Styx was covered.
In a safe and secure space, one can still communicate with those who have passed away in the past.
This is the convenience of the data world.
The real world and its timelines cannot be manipulated like that of an AV actress.
Furthermore, since there is no causal connection, altering history in the past through the power of time travel will not have any impact on the present.
That's amazing.
The surrounding spirits repeatedly recounted the past, and the group quickly traveled through time and space, arriving at the highest tower in Stikosia.
"Look at her!"
The azure starlight reflected the figure in the sky, and love surged in Mimi's heart. The power of the pink badge surrounded her small body as if it were a tangible force, and it suddenly raised its little paws.
The surrounding spacetime was spinning at a high speed, like a roulette wheel.
Countless fragments of light and shadow flashed by at breakneck speed, so fast it was dazzling.
Wow! Mimi, you're amazing!
On March 7th, he opened his eyes wide and exclaimed in surprise.
"This has caused a huge upheaval...it's been almost two thousand years, hasn't it?"
"Mmm~ (When I'm with my friends, I'm invincible~ (?O?ㄑ☆)? )"
The little guy proudly put one hand on his hip, raised his chin arrogantly, and looked so cute that it could melt anyone's heart.
"Well done, love you!"
Qiong nodded in satisfaction.
The War God Mimi Beast breeding is progressing smoothly.
After all, love truly requires courage to face gossip and rumors.
Rounding off, love requires courage.
Love never dies, and strength never ends!
"So confused~"
After being hit by Qiong's direct attack, Mimi, who had been smugly standing with her hands on her hips, blushed and threw herself into Qiong's arms, acting coquettishly and making a series of indistinct gurgling sounds.
March 7th opened her mouth, her gaze unconsciously sweeping over Xia Die, Heather, and Tian beside her.
Xia Die's gaze softened with a faint smile, Hai Se Yin remained aloof and calm, while Tian An wore a "so cute" auntie smile.
It must have been just a misperception caused by the long night moon.
How could Mimi be a threat when she's so cute?
There is no River Styx blocking the way inside the tower; the purpose of continuing to travel through time is to search for clues about the evil dragon in past eras.
In Onfaros, there's absolutely no job opportunity for detectives.
Investigating the murderer would simply require using the power of time to travel back in time and take a look.
In the distant Golden Age, where death did not exist, the group met the official who managed the kingdom's treasury back then, and learned the name of the evil dragon from him.
"Polyces".
Xia Die's sister's name is Polycia, and it's hard to say that the two names are unrelated.
Mimi and March 7th continue to reminisce over the years.
They encountered an alchemist of extraordinary bearing.
"Could you be the alchemist from the fairy tale who brought the princess back to life?"
Qiong gazed at the magnificent and intricate classical man, whose every gesture exuded a fervent passion for knowledge and mystery.
Who are you? Why are you here?
Have you ever heard of Polyces?
Qiong's words made the man raise an eyebrow, "Are you connected to Polyces?"
"Its driver is right here."
Qiong patted Xia Die's shoulder, causing the girl to show a helpless and doting expression.
"What nonsense?"
The man looked at Qiong with the same gaze one would give a madman.
"Hey, be serious."
On March 7th, her little pink fists gently pounded Qiong's chest.
Qiong shrugged and switched modes to continue the conversation.
Surprisingly, the group obtained important information from this top alchemist of the mythical era.
The enemy had once set up an alchemical array in the tower in an attempt to resurrect Polyces, but unfortunately, they were missing the most crucial ingredient.
"The final sacrifice will be the girl who lives in symbiosis with death!"
A mixture of fanaticism and deep regret flashed in the alchemist's eyes.
He spent his entire life searching for her, but to no avail.
Qiong took two steps back without making a sound and gave Mimi a wink.
The little one understood perfectly, and his tiny hands turned the pages of time once more.
Fragments of light flowed before my eyes.
The alchemist's information helped Qiong complete the puzzle of Xia Die's past.
The Trial of the Gray Hand may very well cost the lives of loved ones.
Xia Die is actually from the previous world; her younger sister became the Titan of Death in that previous life.
Unable to bear her sister's death, she used Titan divine authority and soul alchemy to reshape Xia Die's soul, but as the price, she herself fell into silence, mostly dead and silent in the River Styx.
