Mei: Maybe I'll Cut Penacony in Half with One Slash.

And he has no intention of escaping.

As he declared to himself and to his descendants:

"Destruction is a magnificent moment; if one seeks survival through base means, life is far too long—"

Acheron sensed the will of the Great Void.

For the sake of faith and offspring, they were willing to sacrifice themselves as fuel for Destruction.

The four fallen heirs were unable to speak, with only Constance remaining conscious and appearing to be trying to escape.

Lin Shuang noticed this, but Gepard seemed to tacitly approve of it all.

Perhaps it was out of respect for the devout Pathstrider.

Gepard agreed to the request of the Great Void to use herself as fuel to light the way for his four offspring.

Only...

Lin Shuang looked at the three people who had already lost consciousness, even though Constance had taken them with her.

But in that state, it's hard to say whether he could survive; he might even die on the way to Penacony.

On the other hand...

Why is Constance, one of the descendants of the Ever-Flame Mansion, Memokeeper?

Is this the kind of person who should have been born in a place like the Annihilation Gang?

Pathstrider of Remembrance and Destruction?

Don't you think this combination is absolutely outrageous?

Oh well, whatever. Memokeeper are just unpredictable anyway.

And ahead, Great Void began to unleash his final flames.

A rich, restrained flame began to erupt from his body.

The once exquisite clothing was consumed by flames, and the condensed flames transformed into a horn of Destruction that began to howl.

You will witness the most brilliant and explosive fire in the world. May this burning illuminate your unfathomable dreams.

At that moment, Gepard turned her head and glanced at Lin Shuang.

After giving Lin Shuang a smile, she formally assumed the stance of drawing her sword.

"You've misunderstood something. This knife remains sheathed not out of pity or contempt, but as a matter of respect, a secret I don't wish to reveal to anyone but one person..."

Click--

Acheron's fingers rested on the hilt of the knife, and he gave it a gentle push.

Accompanied by the gleaming white of the blade, the greyish-white color, representing death, gradually eroded the crimson flames.

"I will show you my knife."

"Hmph, hahaha--!!!"

The exploding flames carried an intense aura of Destruction, using themselves as fuel.

Great Void unleashed his most dazzling and ferocious flames!

Boom--!!!

The flames erupted from the Great Void, tearing apart the hard bones and horns.

The howling wind, accompanied by the unrestrained laughter of the Great Void and blinding white flames, burned the entire city to the ground in an instant, and showed signs of spreading throughout the whole of Yapera.

However, at this moment--

A long, dark yet gleaming blade sliced through the sun that was descending upon the earth.

In an instant, the crimson flames were imprinted with a grayish-white Nihility.

High temperatures, dazzling light, death, and Destruction vanished in an instant, as if they had never existed.

And in this deathly Nihility, Gepard's voice slowly rose:

May death end your long dream...

Lin Shuang stood aside, witnessing everything.

Ignoring the dissipating Nihility, I reached out and gently wiped away the bright red tears of blood that had fallen from the corner of my eye.

"There's no need to draw your sword."

Lin Shuang pursed her lips, but couldn't help but speak out.

Gepard, however, simply smiled at Lin Shuang in this Nihility.

A bright red palm gently brushed across Lin Shuang's lips.

Do you care about me?

His tone was light and cheerful, unlike that of someone Self-Annihilator.

"What else?"

Lin Shuang glared at her irritably, then raised her hand and grabbed Gepard's hand that was gripping the hilt of the sword, forcibly pulling her to sheath the long sword.

The power of The Nihility receded like the tide.

All that remains is a massive, deep pit that has been hollowed out for nearly hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

The aftermath of the disaster further affected the already dilapidated site of the Ypela Palace.

"I've wanted to say this before, and it's the same with me: don't pull out your sword so easily. With the Ring around, you wouldn't act so recklessly."

Lin Shuang couldn't help but add another comment.

But Gepard couldn't help but glare at Lin Shuang:

"... If someone had been more obedient, I wouldn't have had to draw my sword."

"What are you saying?! You're the one who keeps threatening me with a knife, and now you're blaming me for it?!"

Lin Shuang stared wide-eyed at Gepard.

This completely disregards reasoning and falls into this category.

Gepard stared into Lin Shuang's eyes, completely captivated.

She really liked Lin Shuang's eyes; her beautiful sky-blue pupils were like jewels.

She always conveys a wealth of emotions; often, just by looking into her eyes, you can tell what she wants to say.

For example, right now.

Lin Shuang was complaining with her eyes about Gepard's unreasonable behavior.

But Gepard isn't actually unreasonable.

He wasn't really blaming Lin Shuang.

She's not the type to become more unreasonable just because she's closer to her partner.

Gepard said that simply to tease Lin Shuang.

He wanted to see more of Lin Shuang getting angry because of him, pouting as she accused him, and even grumbling incessantly.

Gepard found them all very cute and lifelike.

Perhaps it's because Gepard herself has been emotionally detached for too long.

She really liked Lin Shuang's vibrant and emotional side.

Whether she's happy or angry, Gepard likes it all.

Even to the point of liking--

"Gepard?"

Lin Shuang looked at Gepard, who had suddenly started touching her face, with a strange expression.

That smiling expression made it seem like he was eyeing some delicious food, ready to devour it at any moment.

To be honest...

She looks a bit like a yandere.

"... Let's get back on the Train quickly, we've got the music box now."

Gepard casually withdrew her hand, then took the music box from Lin Shuang's hand.

Although Lin Shuang really wanted to complain, she still contacted Paimon.

After confirming that no one was foolish enough to provoke the Star Rail Express, Paimon was instructed to retrieve the two of them.

"Although you haven't been away for long, welcome back, Pa!"

The Conductor raised his hand and waved to Lin Shuang and Gepard.

Then he added:

"By the way, Pa, haven't you guys checked the group chat yet? Himeko asked me to tell you Pa, they received an invitation and plan to go back to Jarilo-VI first."

"Jarilo-VI?"

Lin Shuang raised an eyebrow. Could it be that Topaz has already arrived there?

379

Chapter 379 Gepard: I'll just chop the Penacony in half with one stroke.

Back on the Train, Paimon didn't rush to urge them to their next destination.

According to usual practice, Train typically stop for about a week before setting off again.

Of course, this time is often delayed.

Lin Shuang checked the messages on her phone.

Both March 7th and Xing sent her private messages.

The holiday invitation from Jarilo-VI was mentioned.

Bronya, who is said to be the current Supreme Guardian of Belobog, is planning a festival and has invited these few Nameless to attend.

Then on March 7th, he wanted to bring Lin Shuang along as well, and also introduce the planet Jarilo-VI.

Incidentally, on March 7th, she even changed into her new dress and took a picture to send to Lin Shuang.

Normally, the dress might seem a bit flashy, but it's worn on March 7th.

On the contrary, it only makes people feel that it is gorgeous and exquisite.

Lin Shuang held up the Photos of March 7th and brought it close to Gepard's face.

"Hey, look at that outfit on March 7th, it's quite pretty! When are you going to get yourself a formal dress to wear?"

Lin Shuang has always felt that her current body is not tall enough, even though her proportions are beautiful.

But Gepard doesn't have this problem; she's tall, has long legs, and beautiful proportions.

Just imagining her in a dress made Lin Shuang's mouth water.

Gepard leaned back in her chair, glanced at the Photos Lin Shuang handed her, and then looked up at Lin Shuang:

"Would you like to attend the Jarilo-VI festival?"

"Hmm... I kind of want to, what do you say?"

I'll do as you say.

Gepard, of course, didn't care.

She doesn't really have anything in particular she wants to do in the short term.

If Lin Shuang wanted to relax, she would naturally be willing to accompany her.

Only.

Just as Lin Shuang was about to tell March 7th to have Paimon drive the Train over.

The text message from the Firefly made Lin Shuang frown.
