Sometimes, Liuli would also have the despicable wish that she was the only one in the world who could see how good Qiji was.
In this way, she can keep this treasure all to herself.
But looking at that face now, Liuli knew that her despicable selfish desires had ultimately failed.
Not only is Qiji handsome, but he's also the kind of guy who'd attract a ton of attention...
Looking at the dashing and imposing Qiji on stage, he murmured, "Really?" Setsuna quickly averting his gaze.
I dare not look any longer!
One more look and it'll explode!
However, after only two seconds, the girl couldn't help but secretly look back.
Take one look, then look away, then take another look...
Of the four, only Huomu didn't pay much attention to Qiji's face, instead focusing on the latter's newly awakened Echo.
"Black and white, red and gold, the illusory image of a clock face... what lineage does Qiji's Echo belong to?"
Huo Huomu was incredibly curious!
At this moment, the face that I have sculpted inch by inch over nine years with the motto "I will become the perfect me" is revealed to the entire city without reservation.
Almost everyone was immediately captivated, marveling at the face, which was so perfect it was almost divine!
Only Xiwang felt her hands and feet turn ice cold the moment she saw that face.
Her vision blurred, tears welled up uncontrollably, and she couldn't breathe.
She never expected that what her brother wanted her to forgive was this very thing.
But how can she forgive him?
Unforgivable.
Of course, she was referring to herself.
She can't forgive herself!
She herself had caused her brother to suffer for her...
"Lingxing, you knew all along, didn't you?"
Thinking of something, Xiwang's eyes blurred with tears, and she suddenly glared at the immature older sister sitting on her lap, forgetting even the honorifics.
"It was Xiao Ji who insisted..." Faced with Xiwang's gaze, Lingxing shrank her shoulders for a moment, feeling a little guilty.
"He wanted you, and you agreed?! How could you agree! You shouldn't have agreed! You can't agree! You—"
Xiwang lost control of her emotions for a moment, but before she could finish speaking, she realized that she had no right to blame others, so she could only cover her face and cry.
"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, don't cry. It's my fault. Have some popcorn and calm down."
"I won't eat it!"
"You know, once Xiao Ji makes up her mind, no one can stop her... And back then, if you hadn't done it, you would have died..."
"Then let me die! Just let me die... Why use my brother's life..."
It turns out that the claim of conquering "Echo Erosion Syndrome" was just Lie.
An incurable disease is simply a transfer from one person to another.
But, brother, why did you do that?
Why exactly...?
All of this is clearly not worth it.
The Echo of awakening in the Qiji emerge from the [Time of Nonexistence].
In that instant, a system notification sounded in his mind—
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have awakened the Echo amidst Miracle!]
[Your custom-made six-star character card "Miracle" is now complete!]
???
Qiji was stunned.
Six-star card?
Is this for real?
He was busy, but he also focused his gaze on the system interface.
A card was floating in the center of the system interface.
It was a card that was heavier than a five-star card, made of a material somewhere between crystal and metal, with its edges outlined in dark silver.
Upon closer inspection, the edging is actually flowing—
Like molten silver slowly flowing along the edge of the card, shimmering with a faint light.
Qiji focused his consciousness on it, and the card information immediately unfolded:
[Six-Star Card - Miracle]
Tags: King of Extreme Evil, King of Destruction, King of Lie.
"???"
However, after just one glance, Qiji felt completely awful.
No, wait!
Who are you talking about?
Extreme evil, world-ending --
Do these two words have even the slightest connection to me?
You call this tailor-made?!
Qiji took a deep breath, steadied himself, and continued reading.
Card description: He is the destroyer of everything; anything that touches him will be destroyed. Even alone, he will fight against the entire world.
"???"
Qiji was already finding it hard to keep up while looking at the card labels.
After reading the card description, his vision went completely black.
Alone, fighting against the whole world?
Me?
Are you sure???
If you're going to do something properly, then you better do a good job with this custom-made product!
Why are you portraying him like a major villain?
Isn't that a bit too far-fetched?
This character card has two main functions.
[Function 1: Using this character card, you can immediately unleash the Armament: "To See Is the End"]
[Whoever dons this armor forges a pact of destruction with all things! It will inflict destruction with your hands and witness its end with your eyes! (Keywords: out of control! rampage! destruction of everything! relentless!)]
[Function Two: When you log into the Sea of Consciousness using your physical body, all damage suffered by the Sea of Consciousness will be absorbed by this card.]
[The card has a self-repair function; the repair time depends on the extent of the damage.]
Qiji stared at the note on the Armament for a long time, then silently flipped it over.
Out of control, rampaging, destroying everything, even himself...
This thing looks unusable!
He even wanted to ask the system, "What exactly are you up to?"
Is it because they think he's too popular?
Or do you think he's too old for you?
In short, for Qiji, this six-star card can probably only be used as a "health bar" and "resurrection coin" in the Sea of Consciousness.
Anyway, it's free.
With that in mind, Qiji no longer found it objectionable.
After silently grumbling to himself for a moment, Qiji put the matter out of his mind.
Because at this moment, back in the ring, he still had one thing to do.
That is, to win.
Upon seeing Qiji's return from [the Time of Nonexistence], Sibel's delicate eyebrows furrowed in disbelief:
"How... did you do that?"
Just as Qiji was about to speak, Sibel interrupted, "You're still not going to tell me, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Qiji was about to curl the corners of his mouth, revealing the sly smile he often hid behind his mask.
But then, in the next moment, he suddenly realized that he was no longer wearing a mask!
So he quickly composed himself, forcing a nonchalant demeanor.
That said, sometimes it can be quite inconvenient without a mask.
For example, right now, Qiji could clearly feel that Sibel's gaze had wandered over his face several times in a row.
Have you seen enough?
"It looks great." Sibel wasn't embarrassed at all; on the contrary, she praised it generously.
Then, having seen enough, Sibel composed herself and her expression turned serious:
"Then, let the battle continue."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sibel immediately used her consciousness to activate [Time of Nonexistence], attempting to throw Qiji into exile once again.
However, the moment she was stirred, she froze.
Sibel discovered that, in her [Time of Nonexistence], her interior had already been shattered and riddled with holes.
Almost simultaneously, the time vortex she had painstakingly constructed silently collapsed before her eyes.
"This is... your Echo? Why, just a moment ago..."
Looking at Qiji, Sibel felt that this excessively handsome young man was shrouded in countless mysteries.
Are you implying that I didn't Echo just a moment ago?
"Um."
Since the mask was no longer in use, Qiji had to carefully manage her facial expressions.
He glanced at the live stream from the corner of his eye, found the perfect angle, and flashed a flawless smile that he had practiced in private:
"Since there was no Echo, I temporarily awakened one. What, is there a problem?"
The reason why Qiji was talking so much with Sibel at this moment was not purely to show off.
Rather, it was because he discovered something extremely embarrassing—
Although he awakened the Echo, he couldn't even master a circuit of his own lineage!
It's like unlocking a max-level account, but only having one basic attack skill in your skill bar.
He also had a great deal of credit for obtaining an epic-quality universal genealogical Circuit Book in the Sea of Consciousness.
Previously, it couldn't be used because there was no awakening Echo, but now it's just what I needed in a pinch.
[Bite!]
