Chen Li, I'll Take All Your Blame on My Shoulders! I'm So Brave!

The Aeon of Path of Joy and his followers are truly a loving family.

"Alright, that's enough chatting, I need to get back to training for the competition!" After greeting the Great Herta, Aha picked out a mask from the pile in front of him, put it on his face, and transformed into the shape of Sparkle.

"... You're still seriously preparing for the competition?" Great Herta was taken aback.

You're Aeon, do you really have to take this elbow-sparring match with the Masked Fool so seriously?

Even if you don't take any Miraculous Items and just sit here in the sun for three hours, Sparkle still can't beat you as long as he doesn't get the Joy Dice.

All the Miraculous Item in this Paradise were provided by the Great Herta, so the Great Herta knows exactly where the limits of these Miraculous Item lie.

If someone were to use these Miraculous Item to play through the Simulated Universe being developed by the Great Herta, all the Negative Artifacts combined could indeed drive the player to despair, but they would have almost no effect on the Aeon.

Even if Sparkle gets the Joy Dice, it's unlikely she can defeat the Aeon of Joy, because although the number rolled by the Joy Dice is random, the more difficult the task, the greater the probability of Great Failure.

"Look at what you're saying! How can a race without props be complete? Even against ordinary Pathstrider, we have to give it our all! This is my resolve as the Aeon of Joy! Let's get this fired up!" Aha was surrounded by endless laughter as Aha rushed into the amusement Paradise.

Clearly, Aha was involved.

After a three-hour amusement Paradise trip, Sparkle felt like she was about to burn out.

Who on earth came up with these bizarre amusement Paradise projects?

Like eating instant noodles on a roller coaster, and you can get a Miraculous Item after eating half of the noodles.

If you place a cup of water on a bumper kart and half of the water remains after the time expires, how many Starstones can you obtain?

When shooting at suddenly erected billboards with a rubber gun, unexpected surprises may occasionally occur. While ensuring you reach a score of 5000, destroying the surprise billboards will reward you with Starstones or Miraculous Items...

Dodge the rays, pause the roulette wheel, grab the piggy bank, smash the jar...

It's worth mentioning that Sparkle's favorite activity is catching piggy banks, because those piggy banks that would dart around as soon as you get close will stop moving at all after Sparkle uses her ability, Sparkle can kick them one by one!

What I hate most is eating instant noodles on a roller coaster!

And he even Chest Crushing Stone!

Sparkle still doesn't understand why she was the one who got hit. Was this really an amusement Paradise attraction?

Does anyone actually feel happy while playing this game?

But all sacrifices are worthwhile!

Looking at the 20-sided die in his hand, Sparkle smiled with satisfaction.

"Oh, esteemed God of Fun, did you enjoy your morning?" Sparkle bowed slightly and asked respectfully.

Sparkle love Elation, Sparkle also love Path of Joy.

At the same time, Sparkle is also expressing respect for the Aeon of Joy for not using his divine power to "cheat" in the amusement Paradise rides to obtain the Joy Dice.

In other words, this die was a gift from the Aeon of Joy to Sparkle.

"Of course I'm happy, my dear believer." Aha appeared in the form of Sparkle at the opposite corner of the arena.

"It seems both contestants are ready. The match is about to begin. Please use your power-enhancing Miraculous Item in advance to increase your chances of winning," the Great Herta announced.

Upon hearing this, Sparkle began using the Miraculous Item!

Waterborne Scripture! Lucky Charm Gel! Tangible Luck! Quantum Lottery Lotto! Interstellar Lottery! Galactic Lottery! (These Lotto- Miraculous Items have a small chance of bringing benefits when breaking destructible objects, but also a small chance of causing you to lose 99% of your life or energy.)

The reason Hanabi used all three lottery numbers was because Sparkle knew that if the dice didn't work, no matter how well she played, she couldn't beat the God of Fun, so... she might as well take a gamble!

Friends, this is a huge gamble!

Meanwhile, the God of Fun on the other side, seeing the Sparkle so excited they could hardly contain themselves, smiled without saying a word and did not use Miraculous Item.

"Joy Dice! You know what? The moment I saw you, I felt like we'd met before!" With the countdown in its final 30 seconds, Sparkle looked at the last Miraculous Item in her hand and began to express her feelings.

"Now that you're in my hands, I believe it's all a matter of fate! Heavenly God of Fun! Witness the shattering of stars!"

"Joy Dice, let him see the Friendship and Bonds between us!" Sparkle threw the 20-sided die into the sky.

The Joy Dice spun countless times in the air before landing on the ground and beginning to roll around.

Then, under the watchful eyes of several people, the number 20 on the Joy Dice was almost within reach!

A hint of surprise flashed in Sparkle's eyes!

Is this the Friendship and Bonds between myself and Elation Investment? That's amazing!

Then the Joy Dice slipped and showed it to Sparkle.

[1]

The numbers were frozen in time.

"... I remember the instruction manual that came with the Joy Dice said that What If you're competing against the enemy, and you get more than 10 points, you can watch the enemy have fun, and if you get less than 10 points, the enemy can watch you have fun, right?" Sparkle turned to look at the referee, Great Herta.

Yes, that's right!

"Then this point..."

"Clearly you lost miserably." The Great Herta shook his head, almost too afraid to look at the Sparkle.

Who knows what kind of "luck" Sparkle will encounter next?

"Well, I'm lucky to win, and I'm just accepting my fate! This has been a truly fantastic adventure! Even though I lost the battle against the Aeon, I still feel honored! Come on, great God of Fun!" Sparkle was quite nonchalant.

After all, without this die, he would have lost miserably.

If I can lose to the Aeon of Joy, then this adventure will have been worthwhile!

Sparkle took a step towards God of Fun, who was standing opposite her! Her momentum was overwhelming!

But the next moment, a Negative Artifact on Sparkle's body accidentally fell and landed right at Sparkle's feet.

That was a... banana peel.

Because this is an instant-use item, the Sparkle were not used beforehand.

"Huh?" Sparkle were taken aback when they saw the banana peel that had inexplicably appeared at their feet.

Sparkle remembers that the effect of the banana peel was to confuse the body's senses and affect the direction of limb movements.

But Sparkle didn't have time to think about that anymore, because the Sparkle moment she slipped! The back of her head hit the ground!

However, due to Sparkle's big movement, another of Sparkle Negative Artifacts fell down and appeared right under her right hand as she tried to Sparkle herself up.

That was a miniature skateboard.

"Bang!" Sparkle fell to the ground again.

This time, the Sparkle directly shattered two Negative Artifacts: the Tarot Doll (when entering battle, all allies have a 50% chance of selecting the wrong target when casting skills on enemy targets; the Miraculous Item is destroyed after 4 battles) and the Absolute Failure Prescription (to stop the continuation of the war, the prescription will bring different degrees of hallucinations and interference to patients depending on their cause of illness).

"Bang!"

"Puff!"

"Thump!"

"Boom!"

"Waaah!"

"Hiccup!" After the noise stopped, Sparkle lay on the ground, her right hand reaching out to God of Fun, who was standing opposite her, as if she wanted to say something. But after exhaling a puff of black smoke, she exhausted all her strength and her head slammed to the ground with a thud.

"That's too brutal!" Great Herta couldn't help but Sparkle as he watched Hanabi, who hadn't stopped for 20 minutes and hadn't moved forward a single step, even taking a step back.

From beginning to end, Sparkle never moved an inch closer to where Aha was!

"..." The Aeon of Joy glanced innocently at the referee, the Great Herta, beside him.

You're not referring to me as "brutal," are you?

Let me make this clear first: I can't use any Positive Artifacts, nor can I use any Negative Artifacts.

"You saw it yourself, she fell down in front of me, I didn't hit her," said the Aeon of Joy, pointing at Sparkle.

"Uh... that's true." The Great Herta nodded fairly and objectively.

This was the first time that the Great Herta had witnessed the Great Failure of rolling a "1" with the Joy Dice, and just how terrifying it was once it took effect.

This also explains why Chen Li never uses the dice until he has accumulated 10 Joy Points.

That's so brutal!

Joy Dice, Sparkle are your brothers, brothers, and dear friends!

Your "Elation" entry was actually taken from Sparkle's mask!

How could you be so cold-blooded?

The Joy Dice, this Miraculous Item, held the Great Herta and the Aeon of Joy in a hard-line control state for a full 20 minutes.

This is a renowned Wisdom Envoy name resounds throughout the entire universe, and one of the top twenty-odd combatants in the entire universe!

The Joy Dice are terrifying! No wonder they're One-star Artifact!

Both the Great Herta and Aha wanted to know what new tricks the Joy Dice could come up with for Sparkle.

The result was quite an eye-opener for the two of them.

"Alright, let's announce the results," Aha reminded them.

Although Aha didn't lift a finger, Aha wasn't bored at all, because the Sparkle really provided him with one or more great sources of amusement!

"Alright. Masked Fool Sparkle vs. Aeon of Joy Aha. Sparkle fought Aha for a full 20 minutes! In the end, despite her best efforts, she couldn't win! Though she lost, she was still glorious. The final winner is... Aha!" the Great Herta announced!

"This is the trophy from the first season of the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament! Please keep it safe. With this trophy, you can directly enter the semi-finals of the upcoming Honkai-mon World Championship! You can also exchange it for 100 Starstones with Chen Li." The Great Herta handed a trophy to Aha.

"Waaah, thank you everyone for your support! I am able to stand here today and face you all. First of all, I want to thank the organizer of this competition Miraculous Forger, for giving me this opportunity! Secondly, I want to thank my opponent, Sparkle. I will never forget the spirit of burning oneself to Remembrance others..." Aha hugged the trophy in his hands and cried, seemingly very moved.

"By the way, can we continue the match?" Aha suddenly stopped and turned to look at the Great Herta.

"Hmm, what do you mean?" The Great Herta was taken aback.

"I still have so many Negative Artifacts I haven't used, and Sparkle is still alive... It would be such a waste not to use these Negative Artifacts!" Aha said with great regret.

When choosing attractions for the amusement Paradise, Aha only picked those that might produce Negative Artifacts! All for this moment!

Hanabi, who had been tormented by the Negative Artifacts on her body for Sparkle full 20 minutes, heard Aha's words as soon as she regained consciousness, and was so angry that she fainted again.

Damn you, Aha!

Joy Dice from the heavens!

That damned Miraculous Forger!

Chapter 224 Chen Li, I, Huahuo, Sparkle all the blame for your misdeeds! I'm super brave!

"Hey, wake up, are you alright?" Great Herta squatted down and poked Sparkle.

"Cough cough, I... I'm fine." Sparkle struggled to her feet, holding onto the ropes on the ring.

"That's fine then. The Miraculous Forger specifically instructed me to ensure the safety of both participants... but there's definitely no need to worry about Aha's safety," the Great Herta said.

In other words, the only thing the Great Herta needs to be careful about is not letting Sparkle be killed by her own Negative Artifacts.

Chen Li, the Miraculous Forger, needs to consume Joy Points when using Joy Dice to ensure he doesn't get screwed over, which means that Chen Li has no ability to control the Joy Dice's value at all.

The Great Herta always felt that the Joy Dice had its own set of ideas about how many points to roll.

"Then I really should thank him!"

"You don't need to look at the Miraculous Forger with prejudice. This Joy Dice can indeed help you defeat the Aeon, it's just that you were unlucky this time," the Great Herta patted Sparkle on the shoulder to comfort her.

"I should have known! The moment I saw this Joy Dice and its prefix, I knew it was definitely up to no good! I was so stupid, so stupid!"

If I had chosen to abstain from the beginning and directly engaged in a battle of elbows with the Aeon of Joy, I would at least have fallen to the Aeon of Joy, instead of being played to death by the Negative Artifacts I possessed after I had made all the preparations.

At this moment Sparkle sounded as melancholic as if possessed by Xianglin's wife.

"Hmm... let's eat this first." The Great Herta declined to comment.

After all, the word "Elation" on this die comes from Sparkle.

Perhaps it was because this die so perfectly embodied Sparkle's attitude toward "Elation" that led to the current situation?

Seeing a broad bean in the palm of the Great Herta, Sparkle took it and popped it into her mouth.

Let the storm rage on!
