The Firefly's expression didn't change much, and it was natural for Lin Shuang not to say so, since today's visit was initiated by her.

Why would I tell her information when we're not related?

As for saying he doesn't know, the Firefly doesn't believe it.

She even possessed crucial intelligence—the fact that most members of the Penacony family were unaware of the presence of a mole within the Penacony Family.

Now you're telling me you don't know anything about Penacony? Who would believe that?

Just then, Lin Shuang gently waved her hand, and the Tarot Cards spread out on the table in a fan shape.

Then he turned his hand and made a gesture of invitation:

"I've only glimpsed a few traces of fate, gleaned a few words. Miss Firefly, you may choose to draw a card and let fate give you the answer."

"... You are Oracle?"

The Firefly frowned slightly, seemingly troubled.

Based on current intelligence, Lin Shuang has almost no connection with Penacony.

It seems that only a glimpse of fate could explain why she knew about the traitor and the Firefly's loss of voice.

"It's hardly prophecy; I'm no Slave of Destiny. It's just a minor prediction."

"Yeah..."

The Firefly's gaze fell from Lin Shuang to the twenty-odd cards laid out on the table.

Just as she hesitated, reaching out to pull out a card from the deck.

Suddenly,

With his other hand, he reached out from behind the Firefly and casually picked up a sheet and flipped it over.

At the same time, a mocking and playful voice, belonging to a third party, rang out in the room:

"Interesting. That woman never told me you had this ability. How about... I draw a card too? What do you say, Lin Shuang?"

Volume 1: Chapter 127 Phantylia, Shall I Offer You a New Path?

The sudden sound from behind startled the Firefly.

She was startled, her eyes widened as she turned to look, only to see a tall and aloof woman.

The woman glanced down at the robin as Firefly looked over.

Just one glance.

This startled the Firefly, and his heart began to race wildly.

That trampling of life and Order, that yearning for death and annihilation.

It was released almost without reservation from those eyes.

The terrifying aura stunned the Firefly in an instant.

She had indeed been to many battlefields and witnessed all kinds of suffering and hell.

But this does not mean that Firefly completely off guard, could withstand the threat of a Lord Ravager.

Seeing the Firefly's terrified expression, Phantylia chuckled, then loosened her grip, and the Tarot Cards she had picked up quietly fell to the ground.

The cards were then displayed in front of Lin Shuang.

The graduated disc pattern symbolizes the Wheel of Fortune.

These are usually cards that symbolize good luck, but unfortunately...

This card is the reversed Wheel of Fortune.

Seeing this, Lin Shuang chuckled softly at Phantylia:

"Uninvited guests always love to talk to themselves. But your luck isn't great; I suggest you go back to where you came from and run away as soon as possible."

As she said this, Lin Shuang Phantylia Huanlong's gloomy expression, stood up, and reached out to take Firefly's hand.

The blue-green flames flashed across the Firefly's body along Lin Shuang's hand, dispelling the illusion cast by Phantylia.

"...?!"

The Firefly, now fully awake, broke out in a cold sweat. Realizing what had happened, he looked warily at the woman who had suddenly appeared.

He then stood up, walked over to Lin Shuang, and pressed himself close to her.

The Firefly remained silent; she knew she was in trouble, and had been dragged into a trouble that clearly had nothing to do with her.

But at this moment, we can only observe the current situation first.

Phantylia did not stop the Firefly's actions. In her opinion, the two people in front of her were not only unlikely to survive, but also unable to send out a distress message.

To her, what's the difference between being separated by a table and being practically face-to-face?

After pulling the Firefly to her side, Lin Shuang felt a slight sense of relief.

Phantylia, just like in the game, Huanlong has the attitude that everyone else is trash except for herself.

He didn't care at all about Lin Shuang's little action.

"The Wheel of Fortune, which should be a lucky card, is unfortunately reversed for you, representing misfortune and the cruel tricks of fate."

"Oh? It seems you have quite the nerve. Who gave you the audacity to accept this gift of Destruction?"

Phantylia stopped pretending, and yellow-green flames rose up, carrying terrifying high temperatures as if instantly turning into a violent explosion. The houses, and even the entire Xianzhou, were evaporated in an instant.

The Firefly didn't even have time to let out a scream before it was engulfed by flames.

However--

"Does he really think he's a master of Illusion?"

Thud--

"When good old friends are going away..."

Accompanied by melodious singing, flames, wails, and the shattered Xianzhou, all vanished before the Firefly's eyes.

When the Firefly, it realized that it was already enveloped in a layer of blue-green flames from Lin Shuang.

All the previous hallucinations vanished, and the house remained intact, except for the coffee table and sofa, which were shattered into pieces scattered all over the floor.

Meanwhile, Lin Shuang, who was also wreathed in flames, held a Red Greatsword horizontally in front of her, blocking the woman's hand that was reaching for the Firefly's heart.

Before the Firefly could react...

Then Lin Shuang's figure flashed, and the flames seemed to transform into a dazzling band of light, slicing the woman opposite him in half at the waist with a single sword strike.

The music continued, Firefly listened to the melodious tune while witnessing the bloody scene before him.

A sense of absurdity arose spontaneously.

Firefly was about to ask if the enemy had been dealt with.

However, Lin Shuang grabbed Firefly's soft waist with her hand and retreated sharply, creating a slight distance between them.

The woman, who had been cut in half at the waist and was engulfed in flames, swayed and stood up again, letting out a piercing laugh.

"Hahahaha-- Lin Shuang, I'm very satisfied with your speed, strength, and even your appearance. Not bad, not bad~ You're qualified to become my vessel."

Upon Firefly felt a chill run down his spine.

He instinctively snuggled closer to Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang merely scoffed at these words.

"The reversed Wheel of Fortune signifies failure due to an inability to resist changing circumstances and seize crucial moments in life. Phantylia I were you, I wouldn't be spouting nonsense here. How long do you think it will take for Jing Yuan to arrive?"

"Jing Yuan?"

Phantylia's voice grew increasingly sharp and shrill, and he made no attempt to conceal the deep disdain in his tone.

"You don't actually think Jing Yuan can save you in time, do you? I'll make sure you die without a sound. By the way... the disappearance of Penacony's Firefly in Luofu seems like an interesting topic."

As they spoke, the flames were completely drawn from the corpse, transforming into several streaks of light that shot straight towards Lin Shuang!

Lin Shuang seemed startled and hurriedly swung her Greatsword at the wall beside her, but the wall burst into flames, forcefully blocking the powerful blow.

"Hahahaha--! This room has been completely sealed off by me. No one will notice anything happening inside. Obediently become my shell, Lin Shuang!"

A piercing laugh echoed throughout the room, but the tiny flames blocked the sound, preventing it from leaking out.

Even as the flames were still laughing, they surged into Lin Shuang's body.

BOOM!

Blue-green and yellow-green flames exploded simultaneously on Lin Shuang's body.

At the critical moment, Lin Shuang released the Firefly, preventing the Phantylia flames from engulfing her.

"Miss Lin?!"

The Firefly, pushed away, discovered it was still covered in Lin Shuang's flames and immediately spoke, exchanging a sound with Lin Shuang expression seemed quite painful.

"I'm fine, you stay hidden!"

Lin Shuang gave a low shout, and with a flick of her empty hand, a strangely shaped red prop appeared in her palm.

"Hmm? The Power of the Permanence? I underestimated you. But how long can your weak will and this feeble Heliobus withstand the pressure?"

The yellow-green flames transformed into a mocking face, scornfully taunting Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang gritted her teeth and endured Phantylia's intrusion, raising her hand to insert the Hazard Trigger into the groove within the Greatsword.

"Hazard On!"

"Hey, Trailblaze a new Path for yourself, Phantylia!"

Volume 1: Chapter 128 Phantylia: Don't come any closer!!

Accompanied by a deep sound effect, the restriction valve on the Herrscher Core within her body was released, and the power of Heliobus within the Full Load Bottle erupted instantly under Lin Shuang's will!!!

Boom--!!

The blue-green flames shot into the sky and instantly evaporated the ceiling. Accompanied by a terrifying shockwave and a sharp gas explosion, a huge pillar of fire shot into the sky!

The entire Changle Heaven was gripped by a violent earthquake, as if the entire space itself was about to collapse.

Countless passersby and Cloud Knights all looked in the direction where the pillar of fire shot into the sky.

"Sushang?! Family, look! What's happening at Changle Heaven?!"

Interrupted by the sudden earthquake and roar, Guinaifen instinctively moved the camera to the pillar of fire in the sky.

She called out to Sushang, a member of the Cloud Knights, and the audience, recording the events unfolding in the distance with her camera.

And in the Divination Department.

Uncharacteristically, Qingque looked worried and quickly dealt with the work in front of her.

"... Grand Diviner was in a hurry just now, and she didn't look well. Could something serious have really happened?"

Because she knew some of the things Lin Shuang, Fu Xuan, and the general had discussed, Qingque thought about them even more and became even more worried.

At the same time,

After Lin Shuang lifted the security restrictions on the Herrscher Core...

They mobilized as much of the power of the Heliobus within the Full Load Bottle as possible, almost recklessly.

The purpose was not to suggest that the Heliobus in the bottle could compare to Phantylia.

Rather, it was because this Heliobus had once merged into Acheron's body, and its consciousness was almost completely obliterated in an instant due to the Nihility.

This body of Heliobus contains a considerable amount of Nihility, and this Nihility originates from Acheron's body; its quality is comparable to that of Emanator.

Plus!

Between the Heliobus, they can merge and devour each other.

What Lin Shuang needed to do was actually very simple: extract the power of Heliobus from the Full Load Bottle.

Then he gave it to Phantylia to eat.

Because of the properties of Heliobus, Phantylia instinctively swallowed the Heliobus that Lin Shuang was using.
