The ground shook.
The altar collapsed.
The man's eyes were filled with rage.
"You're asking for death! Come out!"
He spread his arms, and machinery and flesh assembled behind him into the shape of a doorway.
A gigantic humanoid creature stepped out, its mechanical body covered in weeping human faces.
The face at the very top was aged and filled with regret.
"Kill me, kill me!"
"Shut up, you old bastard. Isn't this the eternal life you wanted?"
The man leaped onto the humanoid monster's head and grabbed that face with one hand, looking at Ye Qiyan with a savage expression.
"Kid, take a good look. He's this city's lord. I don't care who you are or why you were able to enter this Platform World I sealed away. Since you want to ruin my ritual, become part of it!"
A ritual?
Demon Card · Bewitchment~
It quietly appeared.
Just before the man could command the monster to attack, Ye Qiyan spoke:
"Sorry, sorry~ I entered this world by accident and have no idea what you're doing. How about this? Tell me what's going on in this world, who you are, and what you're trying to do~ Tell me everything. Once you tell me, I'll leave and won't disturb your ritual. How does that sound? Very fair, right~?"
Bewitchment~
The power of lies quietly spread.
Everyone nearby believed Ye Qiyan's words at the same moment.
And they believed them without a doubt.
The man's expression shifted slightly.
The two sword strikes from the Red Tears Demon and Ye Qiyan just now had truly horrified him.
If they really fought, he didn't think he could be certain of winning.
The young man before him had to be a high-level Train Conductor, and he looked like the type who specialized in combat.
