Normally, Wondrous Brush is a skill that cannot be lent out.

But now, Sparkle is inviting Chen Li to help her with a strike, that is, to assist in the battle.

In other words, this Wondrous Brush can only be used once.

Seeing that the previously highly guarded Zelretch's attitude changed significantly after seeing the Starstones, Sparkle understood why Chen Li said the Zelretch couldn't refuse the Starstones. As long as she spoke in a normal tone and reasoned with him, the other party wouldn't refuse the request.

Sparkle wondered if she could use Starstones to create nests if she encountered people with abilities related to time, space, or fate in the future.

Sparkle is quite qualified as a Masked Fool, at least when it comes to negotiation.

After demonstrating his harmlessness, promising a hefty reward, and assuring the Zelretch that he would no longer have to live in fear of Chen Li suddenly appearing from some hidden corner to startle him, the Zelretch agreed to the deal.

Because there's no need to integrate with other Occupational Systems, there's very little pigment. Therefore, by Wondrous Brush the Skill Points in the Zelretch's hand, you've completed your Exclusive Profession certification, which is very convenient.

However, because it doesn't integrate with other Occupational Systems, the Zelretch's class panel is quite monotonous.

If Eden and his companions' Exclusive Profession belong to version 5.0, then the Zelretch's Exclusive Profession belong to version 1.0.

The difference in version advantage between the two sides is comparable to the difference between the initial Starter Trio in Genshin Impact: Amber the Scout Knight and Neuvillette the Hydro Dragon King.

But for Chen Li, as long as the other party has their Exclusive Profession, that's enough.

After Zelretch frantically typed "1" for 10 minutes in a private group chat, Zelretch's name finally lit up slowly on Chen Li's overlimit interface.

"While it's not very strong, it's barely enough..."

"What are you doing?" Zelretch was very curious about Sparkle, the little girl sent by Chen Li who called herself the Masked Fool, and at the same time wanted to get more information from Sparkle.

Although the Zelretch didn't see the opponent's power as strong, it was still very strange.

"I'm... watching some fun," Sparkle said, looking at the moon in the sky.

"What kind of fun is this?"

"Judging by the time, it should be ready soon... Look." Sparkle pointed to the moon.

Whether it was good luck or bad luck, the Parallel World where Zelretch and Sparkle lived was also nighttime, and the moon could be clearly seen. So, with their extraordinary intuition, they saw things that shouldn't have been seen.

Sunrise and sunset, the cycle of the seasons—this is the natural order of things.

However, the shadows in the eastern hemisphere, which are at night, begin to come alive. Darkness seems to have become the limb of some indescribable existence, transforming into a tangible, flowing night, "slowly" stretching towards the moon, which reflects the sun's light and casts moonlight upon the earth.

Several black, pointed pillars standing on the earth resembled the earth's tentacles reaching towards the moon, or the fangs of some indescribable creature, "slowly" but firmly biting towards the moon.

The average distance between the Earth and the Moon is approximately 384,400 kilometers.

The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second.

Black light is also a type of light.

1.28 seconds later, a gigantic maw, resembling a mouth full of fangs, emerged from above the Earth and enveloped the moon before slowly closing.

At this point, the Eastern Hemisphere was completely plunged into a dark night.

This scene was also witnessed by magicians whose inspiration is higher than that of ordinary people, and who happened to be in the Eastern Hemisphere.

"As everyone knows, the Holy Grail War is conducted in secrecy." Sparkle nodded in satisfaction.

It's too secretive.

Sparkle couldn't help but laugh at the thought of the Church of the Holy Church and the Mage's Association concocting all sorts of outlandish lies about the disappearance of the moon.

What excuse will they use this time? A gas explosion?

Of course, the Mage's Association and the Church of the Holy Church had legitimate reasons for keeping it a secret.

Mystery is something whose effect diminishes the more people know about it. In other words, if magicians want to maintain the intensity of mystery, they must prevent more ordinary people from learning about it.

"!!" Zelretch looked in horror at the spot where the moon had been, now gone.

An ordinary magician might think that the moon is gone, but only the Zelretch knows that the moons of all Parallel Worlds are gone!

"Is this the kind of entertainment you wanted to see? You knew this would happen all along?!" Zelretch turned to look at Sparkle, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"I'm warning you, don't look at me like that, or else..." Sparkle narrowed her eyes.

"Otherwise?"

"I will surrender!" Sparkle immediately raised her hands.

"..."

"What else can I do? I'm just a pitiful, weak, and helpless Masked Fool. Of course, I have to surrender and betray my teammates the moment the enemy attacks," Sparkle said aggrievedly.

"..." Sparkle's quick decision to betray her teammates made the Zelretch a little uneasy.

The Zelretch was tempted to attack, but was afraid that his opponent might possess some rather unusual counter-ability...

"And why are you acting so angry? After all, wasn't it you who personally brought all the moons from Parallel Worlds together?"

"When did I...?"

"Wait, do you mean!" Zelretch's eyes widened.

"That's right, every message you just sent was like a barrage of bullets aimed at the moon. Surprised? Unexpected? Happy?" Sparkle asked with a grin.

Sparkle isn't afraid of dying because Sparkle has already collected several Resurrection Cards for herself.

After all, even Sparkle know that if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

With the "I am Joy" ability, Sparkle is even less afraid of being caught. This is because Sparkle can appear next to her friends at any time; the teleportation requires no wind-up and can be performed even when bound.

Unless Chen Li catches him.

The Sparkle will suffer greatly.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zelretch felt as if the whole world was watching him.

I Destruction the world, really?

"That's right, that's the expression... What I've always wanted to see is that look on my face, like I've accidentally caused a huge disaster!" Sparkle smiled contentedly after seeing the Zelretch's expression.

Fun time!

[I am Joy] does not mean that you have to watch a funny video every time you teleport, but that you must watch a funny video after a "story" ends.

"You! You despicable foreigners!"

"Oh, you noticed?"

"Of course, because there is no trace of magic on you." Suddenly, a short sword made of gemstones appeared in the Zelretch's hand.

"Hmm, why aren't you making a move yet?" Sparkle tilted her head, seemingly having already disregarded life and death.

"Because something's not right..." said the Zelretch.

It's strange that Earth didn't experience anything particularly unusual because the moon disappeared.

It's as if someone used the moon to cast an illusion that fooled magicians all over the world—this defies common sense!

People strive for higher positions, water flows downhill, and without the moon, the Earth would also suffer.

"That's right, you're under a spell... so hurry up and kill me!" Sparkle hopped over to the Zelretch, stretched her neck towards it, closed her eyes, and made no attempt to defend herself.

"What are you doing?" Zelretch took several steps back.

"Are you asking for it? Isn't it obvious?"

"I'm asking you, why are you looking for death?" the Zelretch asked warily.

Since he had already decided that the other party was a despicable outsider, the Zelretch felt that even if the other party made a statement such as "One of our companions has gone missing in your world," it wouldn't be out of character at all!

Therefore, we are extremely cautious about this.

"Because Chen Li said: 'What if I die? Ten thousand stars!' He wants to earn Starstones, what else could it be for?" Sparkle sighed.

Sparkle felt that her life wasn't worth 10,000 Starstones, so exchanging her life for this money was a good deal, but Zelretch didn't give her a chance.

Should we just run straight into the opponent's sword and die?

That won't do.

Insurance fraud must also be addressed by basic laws.

"Are you crazy?"

"Hey, who among the Masked Fools doesn't go crazy? But it's a pity... I guess I won't have the chance anymore." Sparkle looked at the sky again in disappointment.

The clear and gentle moonlight shone on Sparkle's face once again, highlighting her presence once more.

"... How did you do that?" The Zelretch also looked at the moon, which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

"Well... maybe the moon was resurrected after watching a 30-second ad. Haven't you heard the lyrics: 'I'm about to finish watching the Resurrection advertisement, it only takes 30 seconds'?"

"This is too bizarre, too absurd."

"Hmm, it is indeed very bizarre and absurd, so are you... really sure you are in reality right now?"

"Whoosh!" A massive torrent of magic suddenly tore through the space beside Sparkle at a speed that Sparkle could not predict, leaving a chasm tens of meters deep in the road next to Sparkle.

A few strands of Sparkle's hair slowly slipped to the ground as the air currents cut through them.

The Sparkle instantly stood at attention.

"Hmm, it seems you're not so invincible after all." The Zelretch regained his confidence.

It seems that the Zelretch has figured out the logic behind how to use the items that Sparkle possesses.

"Hey, wait, don't do it! The moon is back. If she dies again, Chen Li won't compensate us. Then she'll have died for nothing." Sparkle immediately raised her hands.

This is what insurance fraud looks like.

The probability of failure and the risk are very high.

If the cause of death is covered by insurance, I can use my second life to make money and live a carefree life.

If the cause of death is outside the scope of insurance, then you've lost your life for nothing.

Sparkle felt that her self-cultivation, which was constantly teetering on the edge of self-destruction, was still not up to par.

"Zelretch, this is the reward I owe you for helping me destroy the moon!" Sparkle shouted, then threw two hundred starlight at Zelretch.

"Keep your voice down... Never mind, didn't you say the remaining balance was 100 Starstones?"

"There's another request for 100 Starstones..."

"They want to destroy the Earth this time? I won't do it!"

"No, no, no, it's very simple... Arcueid, you know her, right?"

"... What do you want to do?" Zelretch narrowed his eyes.

Having just devoured the moon, they've now set their sights on Arcueid, Zelretch to suspect that their target is their old "friend," Shiki.

Shiki, King of the Moon. The UO of the Moon.

UO is an abbreviation for Ultimate One, which refers to the strongest individual on a planet.

The reason why Shiki appeared on Earth is because of Gaia.

Gaia's actions are sometimes so idiotic that it's hard to tell whether they're "indistinct" or "not indistinct".

Gaia believed that with humanity's destruction of the ecological environment, it would eventually perish.

However, each planet has its own Universe of Origin (UO), but Earth itself does not have a Universe of Origin to exercise its will to eliminate humanity.

So Gaia had a sudden inspiration: why not borrow a UO from another sphere?

At this time, Shiki, a neighbor of Earth, kindly offered to help... and then Gaia realized that she had let a wolf into her house.

Because the planetary agents created based on the True Ancestor Shiki, once they start drinking blood, they become endlessly bloodthirsty demons, gradually losing their minds and becoming an even greater scourge.

However, Shiki's ambition was exposed too quickly, causing it to not have time to understand the magic outside the rules. As a result, it was defeated by Zelretch and its physical body was destroyed by Zelretch.

However, since Shiki herself had no concept of death, only her physical body was destroyed, and her soul transformed into the second personality of Arcueid Brunestud, the last princess of the "True Ancestor" royal family... something like that, waiting for Arcueid to give up her own name and take over this body!

The moon, Arcueid, and himself... This series of coincidences inevitably led Zelretch to suspect something in this direction.

"Don't be nervous, Chen Li's request is very simple. Ask her to help cook a meal."

"She can cook?" Zelretch was taken aback.

Arcueid, the True Ancestor sleeps all day in the Millennium Castle and is raised as a weapon, can also cook.

"Yes, that's why we made her cook, because she can't cook."
