Aboard the Nightmare Star.
Su Na knew nothing of the strange events aboard the ship. She stood alone at the bow, gazing at the Red Gemstone in her hand with a complicated expression.
Beside her, Xiaoji had already lost power and was completely immobilized. Su Na had removed his internal battery, leaving him unable to move.
After receiving Yang Yi's private message, she had found an opportunity to pull out Xiaoji's battery and take possession of the Stone of Truth.
But... her desire for the stone had suddenly faded. She no longer wanted it as she had before, as though it were merely a stone with a rather pretty color that could be found anywhere by the roadside.
[Name: Stone of Truth] [Type: Relic] [Quality: ??] [Description: Swallowing this stone grants a vast amount of forbidden knowledge, but failure to withstand it will result in brain death. Not recommended for anyone other than witches or warlocks. If you turn this stone over to the Radiant Holy Church, you will receive supreme glory!]
She raised her left hand, which she could still move, seemingly tempted to throw away the Stone of Truth she had obtained. But her remaining sanity stopped her, and she did not choose to do so...
"That self-righteous bastard!"
Su Na suddenly cursed aloud, but immediately realized something was wrong. She could actually speak now. At some point, her crystallized flesh had returned to normal.
Once she realized this, the pain followed. Wounds covered her body, and with the Death Plague Stabilizer still in her system, she was in excruciating pain. Yet the dejection on her face had vanished, replaced by excitement and agitation, her heart beating rapidly.
The Nightmare Star had also reverted to its original form, a white Skeleton Ship entwined with vines.
