But the five-digit number starting with 2 still brought the young girl some happiness.

She wondered if, by converting everything to the Path of Destruction at a 1:100 ratio, she could directly wield the power of an Emissary of Destruction.

However, considering Suel's abilities, even if she became an Emissary of Destruction, she would still have a headache facing the might of time.

That guy could easily reverse time. If she couldn't kill him instantly, it would be difficult to deal with him!

More importantly, Suel was incredibly hard to kill, with who knew how many hidden tricks!

Even Ace Ukiyo, who had awakened Creation Power and transformed into Kamen Rider Geats Nine-Tails, couldn't kill him. In the end, it was only with the help of Nene Arakawa and his father, and after Ace Ukiyo fully accepted his mother's legacy to become a Creation Goddess unbound by time, that he was defeated.

After thinking for a moment, Firefly decided to draw first, leaving it to chance.

Once she obtained something that couldn't be affected by time reversal, she would convert the rest into the power of the Path of Destruction, bringing her closer to the power of an Emissary.

With 24,800 points, even with terrible luck, she was guaranteed a golden item. She just hoped it would be useful to her.

Otherwise, she would have to resort to her dangerous trump cards!

Whether it was the Stellar Core, a blessing from Abundance, or a fragment of the Great Ruiner Phantylia, these were all extremely dangerous items.

She wasn't sure if she could control them…

With these thoughts, the young girl opened the draw interface and began her point-based draws.

As 1600 points vanished, as expected, no gold appeared, only the guaranteed purple item.

And just one purple item at that.

[(Blue) Silver Wolf's Game Account]

[(Blue) Light Cone "Leqi"]

[(Blue) Asta's monthly allowance]

[(Blue) Random Relic of Blue Quality]

[(Blue) Sparkle's personal item]

[(Blue) Topaz's leg ring]

[(Purple) Light Cone "Good Night and Sleep"]

[(Blue) Feather of the Rememberer]

[(Blue) Song "Make a Heart Free from Sorrow"]

She glanced over them, finding nothing that satisfied Firefly.

Asta's monthly allowance was quite substantial, but those were credit points, which were useless in this world unless she went to the Star Rail universe.

So, it was very impractical.

The Light Cones were alright…

Without further thought, she initiated another ten-pull, but the result was similar.

A guaranteed purple Light Cone, and not even any other purple items…

Chapter 72: Drinker of Worlds, Ever-Hungry Devourer (14/30)

Firefly frowned as she looked at the draw screen before her. Her points continued to decrease, yet she hadn't seen a single item that surprised her.

Instead, her points were disappearing like flowing water, making her heart ache.

It reminded her of when she played Star Rail and got a pity pull of Bailu after 85 draws, making her want to quit the game.

Just as Firefly was contemplating whether to cut her losses and stop drawing, and instead convert everything into the power of the Path of Destruction, the golden pity pull finally arrived.

The young girl skipped over all other items, locking her gaze onto the golden card.

[(Gold) Immortal Divine Fruit]

"?"

Oh, this…

Although this item was quite good, it was indeed a decent golden item. It should be something Phantylia desperately needed, directly touching upon the authority of Abundance.

According to the game's description, it was a phantom flower that bloomed on its own, born from nothing. Phantylia used the "Jianmu" as her body, cultivating her physical form and touching the authority of Abundance.

Thus, she gained an immortal body!

But this wasn't what she needed. What she needed now was something to counter time.

"However, it's another trump card!"

Even though it wasn't what she needed, Firefly was still quite satisfied with this Immortal Divine Fruit.

This item was a divine fruit born from an ancient tree left behind by the Aeon of "Abundance." It was a divine miracle that could shape life at will and conquer death…

Especially since she had a Phantylia fragment here. The little Phantylia hadn't been released yet.

She felt like she could create an Immortal Divine Fruit Phantylia.

It was just very dangerous; without the power of an Emissary, she wouldn't be able to control such a dangerous entity.

The fragmented incarnation of a Destruction Emissary, combined with a body possessing the authority of Abundance, even if not as potent as Phantylia of the Xianzhou, should still wield the power of an Emissary, right?

But then again.

Suivians are tricky. Just like how the Great Suivian split into many others, including Tail and Floating Smoke, they each have their own thoughts.

They don't necessarily share the same ideas as the Great Suivian, Liaoyuan...

So, a Suivian fragment split from Phantylia might not necessarily have the same personality or thoughts as Phantylia.

Even if they did, Phantylia isn't a madwoman solely focused on destruction.

In fact, she fears destruction...

This is why she's so interested in creations of "Abundance," especially the clear and intense craving she displayed when Jianmu was revived.

When her immortal divine body was destroyed, Phantylia boasted that she had merely lost a casually crafted body.

But in reality, only she knew how much she cared about that body.

Phantylia greatly feared the "self-destruction" brought about by "destruction," and thus sought an eternal, indestructible shell. And yet, such a perfect body as the Immortal Divine Fruit was destroyed!

Privately, she must have cried and thrown tantrums, rolling all over the floor.

No longer dwelling on it, Firefly carefully stored the Immortal Divine Fruit in her System space and continued her gacha pulls.

Her current trump cards were either too dangerous or incapable of completely defeating Suel. She needed to keep going...

Firefly's luck continued to be good. While the purple items didn't offer any pleasant surprises, a golden item appeared again on her third ten-pull.

Quickly skipping the other items, she once again looked at the appearing golden item with anticipation.

[(Gold) Obscurus's Path Remnant]

"..."

"Obscurus..."

Looking at the golden item, Firefly was slightly taken aback.

Obscurus, isn't that the Aeon of Voracity?

He is one of the oldest Aeons in the Star Rail universe, wielding the Path of Voracity.

Insects to birds, rabbits to wolves, stardust to black holes, all realms to Voracity.

He is the thirst of all realms, the insatiable devourer, the thinking black hole.

He exists as both an Aeon and an ancient beast.

In Obscurus's view, life is merely a flickering algae in the sea of the void, destined to return to darkness with the stars that gave birth to them—a darkness that resides within His maw.

The Aeon of Voracity...

This one is the sworn enemy of the Aeon of Preservation. As equally ancient beings, a mere brush past them could lead to the annihilation of supermassive galaxies.

If left unchecked, it would inevitably devour the entire Star Rail universe.

Firefly quickly scanned the information about this item, expecting it wouldn't be simple.

[Obscurus's Path Remnant]

Description: The thirst of all realms, the insatiable devourer. After using this item, Obscurus's remnant can devour power authorities weaker than itself and gain the devoured authority.

Note: Can only be used once and only on a single target.

"Devour authority..."

The girl pondered this information.

Suddenly, she had an idea. If successful, the rewards would undoubtedly be substantial.

What is the greatest authority in the Kamen Rider Geats world?

Naturally, it's Creation Power.

If she were to devour the Creation authority of the Creation Goddess and absorb her Creation Power... then... undoubtedly, the rewards would be immense.

Thinking this, the girl's heart began to stir.

Although the Creation authority in the Kamen Rider Geats world was quite diluted, there was no denying that Creation Power had many uses and was very convenient.

It was definitely something worth obtaining...

If she didn't even care about Creation authority, then there was nothing more valuable in this world.

However, even with this idea, the girl didn't immediately seek out the primordial goddess. For one thing, she was already a fading remnant, with little Creation Power left!

Furthermore, she didn't know if the remnant's devouring would only consume authority or have other effects.

She still hesitated to strike down the Creation Goddess.

It would be better to wait for a new Creation God to appear, and then devour the new God's Creation authority and Creation Power. The rewards would be far greater than from the goddess who was about to shatter.

With this thought, the girl suppressed the urge to head to the Creation Shrine.

No rush, what's hers will be hers.

She then continued to look at her Points, only to find that there were very few left.

Firefly stopped pulling more cards and instead switched entirely to the power of the Destruction Path, but she was still quite a ways off from becoming an Emissary.

To obtain the power of an Emissary through points, the required amount was truly massive, and that was even with an exchange rate of one hundred points for one Destruction Path power.

Looking at it this way, using points for card draws wasn't a total loss.

After all, some of the items were already Emissary-level, truly related to the Aeons!

It's just that these items were all external, not power that one completely possessed.

There were gains and losses!

As for not getting the ability to counter Suel's time reversal after spending so many points, the young woman wasn't too bothered. With more trump cards up her sleeve now, it was hard to see how she could lose.

At most, it would be a bit troublesome.

She'd only know for sure after fighting...

So, she was now just waiting for Suel to appear.

Chapter 73: Setting Off with Herta (15/30)

"This should be about enough, right!"

Looking at herself in the mirror, Firefly pushed her long hair aside. Her hair was as smooth as silk, gently swaying in the light, shimmering with faint radiance.

As expected of my Firefly waifu, she looks so cute no matter what! And unlike those styles that are stunning at first glance but lose their appeal over time.
