Kiana Sweating Profusely (Continued)

Amon, on the other hand, was carefree, coming and going as he pleased.

Phantylia was on tenterhooks the whole time, worried that the unpredictable Amon might make a move, yet unwilling to give up the Jianmu so close at hand. So he could only endure it. But every time he saw a person wearing a monocle or a machine pass by, Phantylia's anger increased, which was truly torturous.

Fortunately, this journey is finally coming to an end.

"Your methods are indeed superb; no matter how hard I try, I cannot discern your true identity. But precisely because of this, if I cannot ascertain your stance..."

Phantylia waved a fan, covering the lower half of her face, seemingly smiling, but her aura grew increasingly cold.

It's true that she longs for Jianmu.

But facing the Xianzhou head-on is actually a very dangerous thing.

They were a group of war-crazed madmen who, when pushed to the brink, could even summon arrows from the Star God.

People say the Antimatter Legion is ruthless and insane, but little do they know that in the eyes of the Xianzhou's enemies, the Xianzhou people, who fight like wolves and tigers and will forcibly summon the Emperor's Bow without regard for their compatriots if they are defeated, are just as ruthless and insane.

Seizing the Jianmu from the Xianzhou was like snatching chestnuts from a fire; there was no room for luck.

If Amon cannot give her a reassuring answer, then Phantylia would rather turn around and leave. And before leaving, she will definitely strike swiftly, even if she is close to the Xianzhou and may attract the army of the Xianzhou people, she will try to kill Amon to prevent her plot against Jianmu from being exposed and making it difficult to carry out her plan again.

"Sigh~"

Amon sighed, adjusted his glasses, and his expression showed a hint of resentment and sadness, as if he were blaming Phantylia.

"We've been getting along very well these past few days, so why are you saying such hurtful things? It makes it seem like I've done something wrong."

"Um?"

"Don't rush, there's still time. Why don't you listen to me tell you about the deeds of my Lord Ahab?"

"... I would like to hear the details."

Phantylia suppressed his murderous intent.

At least the other party is willing to reveal their fate, whether it's true or not, it's much better than just watching them go back and forth.

"It is said that my Lord Ahab once disguised himself as a mortal and infiltrated the train in Achiwill, and detonated the train when Achiwill was careless... Taking pleasure in the stars, my Lord's style is unparalleled throughout the ages, and is truly captivating."

"I've heard of it before, but it's too fantastical to be true."

"I can vouch for that. My Lord truly did find pleasure in pioneering the Star God. It is said that the strongest pioneering Emanator was my Lord Aha, and the strongest Elation Emanator was Achiwill. The relationship between these two supreme beings is truly wondrous... So, I advise you, if you encounter the only remaining Stargazer Train in this world, it is best to be cautious. No one can say for sure whether it will attract the pioneering Emanator!"

"Thank you for informing me. So, what does this have to do with your purpose?"

Regardless of whether it was true or not, since it was related to the Star God, Phantylia decided to note down this absurd premise and then continue to ask questions.

But then Amon chuckled softly and said calmly:

"I have long admired my lord's brilliance, and sometimes I wonder—if I were to emulate my lord's great deeds and have some fun in the headquarters of a star god, would I be able to gain my lord's approval? I am very curious, what do you think, Phantylia Huanlong?"

"I think you're crazy, no wonder you're a believer in Elation."

Phantylia's lips twitched slightly.

I already said the Xianzhou is a furnace that can burn people to death. I came here for an immortal body, and this Amon is just here for fun? Damn Elation, he's a lunatic!

Amon said with a sweet smile:

"Thank you for the compliment. However..."

"But?"

"However, after meeting you, I've become a little hesitant. Is it more fun to cooperate with you to blast a hole in the Xianzhou, or to cooperate with the Xianzhou to capture a Great Extinguisher...? What do you think, Phantylia?"

"To put it this way, the Great Extinguisher is merely a practitioner of destruction; if one is lost, another will be replaced. Lord Nanook wouldn't go to such lengths just for me. But the Xianzhou is a place favored by the Hunt. If the Xianzhou is destroyed, the Hunt will most likely take action—to bring down a high-ranking Star God as a human being, what could be a better tribute to the great Aha than that?"

Phantylia teased with a smile.

The entire restaurant fell silent, as if dead still.

The fox-woman maid's expression shifted from thoughtful to sudden realization, and then one by one, the people wearing monocles turned around, their burning gazes all focused on Phantylia.

"Bringing in the Hunt party? Brilliant! Brilliant indeed!"

×N.

"Yes, congratulations."

Phantylia smiled.

I still can't be sure about anything.

This Amon's origins remain unknown; he is an uncontrollable variable.

Should we continue gambling?

Soon, a ruthless glint flashed in Phantylia's eyes.

' Amon's methods are unpredictable, but isn't my Body of the Sun also capable of changing at will? If I win the gamble, having such a Follower of Joy as my ally is the best opportunity to seize the Jianmu; if I lose, I can simply flee and wait for the next chance. Unless the Star God condescends to target me, no one can kill me!'

Having become the Great Extinguisher and earned a fearsome reputation that inspires terror throughout the galaxy, Phantylia is certainly not someone who fears trouble.

She decided to take the gamble.

With the decision made, Phantylia's smile grew even brighter, even taking on a hint of ingratiation:

"Your Excellency Amon, such a brilliant spraying plan, if there is anything I can do to help, I would be happy to do so."

"How can the task of offering gifts to our Lord be entrusted to others? I appreciate your kindness, and I hope that we can both achieve our wishes by meeting again in the future!"

×N.

"Indeed, Your Excellency Amon is truly devout."

"Ha! Praise the fool, praise the aha!"

×N.

As the monocular mirrors disappeared, the quiet restaurant was once again filled with the sounds of people.

'And who is the Fool? Another name for Ahab?'

Phantylia frowned slightly, but didn't think much of it.

Follower of Joy are always neurotic, and there's no point in delving too deeply into it.

At this very moment, the Xianzhou has already approached, and the Medicine King Sect, who have secretly reached an agreement, must have begun to take effect. This journey is to obtain the perfect, immortal body, thus escaping the threat of destruction. Even if the entire galaxy burns, she will live on forever!

Phantylia's lips curled up. Although Body of the Sun, he felt the illusion of his heart beating. Then he couldn't wait to lick his lips.
