"Wait, I remember that one of Rias's cross-dressing monks also has the ability to stop time. What if he notices... Oh well, who cares?"
Ten seconds have passed—
"Speaking of which, why did I suddenly want to strike a JoJo pose? Oh well, time's almost up, let's conduct the final experiment..."
A piece of paper was torn in two by Chang Yan.
Eleven seconds have passed—
Time begins to flow—
Under Chang Yan's gaze, the quilt suddenly dented a lot, and the door moved backward due to inertia.
"The effect is fantastic, so let me see what the next wonder is."
(Unknown Coin: An ancient Egyptian coin of unknown material, possessing indestructible properties. Both sides are engraved with unidentified patterns. When the user throws it, heads up opens a light blue door, from which the user can randomly retrieve a usable weapon. This weapon possesses various strange powers and disappears after 3 hours.)
(Turning the coin face down will open a deep red door, from which a random "unit" will emerge and obey your commands. According to testing, this "unit" lacks communication capabilities and disappears after 3 hours. The coin cannot be used for 24 hours after flipping it. Also, please do not use throwing techniques, as using them will instantly suck the coin in, and this process cannot be prevented.)
"The effect is okay, but the duration is too short. I won't try it for now; the cooldown is too long."
After evaluating the results, Chang Yan put away the pocket watch and coins.
(Host, Hearthstone Box has mutated. Please check it as soon as possible.)
"Hearthstone Box has mutated??? Let me see it."
There's no time to lose; this is the only artifact he has left to summon loyal underlings.
(The heroes, priests, and paladins have been transformed by the unknown power of the host.)
(Change complete—)
(Pastor → Evangelist)
(Secondary Healing Spell → Calamity Soothing - Heals a single unit and deals damage to an enemy unit)
(Paladin → Calamity Knight)
(Skill Support → Calamity Elemental - Summons a Calamity Elemental, which fights as a follower, or can be transformed into armor or weapons to empower a unit)
Calamity Light Element
element
Consumes 1 mana crystals
Special trait: Light Element (Deals extra damage when taking dark damage, deals extra damage to both dark and light elements, and is immune to light damage).
P.S.: Holy light means you should stay away from me, the farther the better.
(Note that skills of the Calamity type may have unknown consequences on the mind and spirit of the user. Please use them with caution.)
(Due to the change in hero, an additional two FA♂ power crystals are obtained)
"...System, have you been influenced by that dark armor? Why have you become so philosophical?"
(After all, it is a rare object, naturally containing unknown power... The system has begun self-checking... Self-check complete, affected parts have been repaired, and the shielding system has been installed.)
"Wow, that's fast... By the way, how many mana crystals can I use?"
(7. Due to the anomaly, the mana crystals are now fully charged.)
"Seven... So, is there anything else that should allow us to use that card...?"
"Summon my follower—Dark Lord!"
"dark......"
Chapter 199 Abandoning the Idea Called "Humanity"
黑暗之主
? (Possible element)
Cost: 4 Mana Crystal
Characteristic: — (Sealed, seal needs to be broken)
P.S.: Rather than cursing the darkness, light a candle. But I usually do both at the same time.
"My...master..."
The summoned Lord of Darkness was hidden in the darkness and could barely communicate with Chang Yan.
Surprisingly, along with it appeared three unlit candles.
"Lord of Darkness? How can I break your seal?"
"Extinguish...the candle..."
"The candle is in my hand, how do I extinguish it?"
"Hope will light the candle...and then despair will extinguish it...This is...this is the best way...I will become very strong..."
From the Lord of Darkness's fragmented words, it can be inferred that the Lord of Darkness released in this way would become extremely powerful.
But hope lights the candle, and despair extinguishes it?
Is the candle lit when a person is filled with hope, or is it lit when a hopeful person receives the candle?
"The first type..."
"Okay, I get it... To extinguish a candle, you have to extinguish the flame filled with despair... Hmm, I think I can learn a thing or two from the online novels I used to read..."
For example, some supernatural novels.
"Jingle Bell--"
The phone rang.
Chang Yan glanced at the caller ID and was somewhat surprised.
It was his father, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
Wasn't he away on a business trip? He shouldn't be back for quite a while, right?
After a moment's thought, Chang Yan answered the phone.
"Hey......"
"Hey, is that Chang Yan?"
"It's me, Dad."
The voice on the other end was calm and composed, and it was clear that he was in good condition.
"how are things?"
"It's alright... Oh, by the way, I got a girlfriend..."
"...Huh? You actually got a girlfriend? It's not that I'm looking down on you, but you're usually such a shut-in, how could you possibly have a girlfriend!"
"I'm so sorry I'm a total shut-in!!!"
A crossroads suddenly appeared in Chang Yan's mind.
"Ahem... Okay, Dad was wrong. But you have to really see the girl carefully before you date her, don't get fooled."
"Okay, I understand... Is there anything else?"
The conversation between the father and son did not evoke any particular feeling in Chang Yan.
It's not indifference, but rather a mixture of familiarity and strangeness.
Like being in the lost paradise of the Holy Son, a familiar stranger...
Am I still human...?
Suddenly, Chang Yan remembered this question.
Can he still be considered human now?
Absolutely not!
Humans who live forever are called immortals.
First came the immortals, then the humans.
It just looks similar.
Superman, who can fly and disappear into the earth, is not human.
If a person can fly, breathe fire and water, wield thunder, and live forever, would any human being think, "Is this really a human?"
how is this possible.
So what if they're not human?
What if I stop being a human being?
If I don't want to be human, then so be it. Anyway, I don't care about being human.
Why worry so much? It's just a waste of time and energy.
Of the people at the very top of this world today, which one are truly human?
None of them are human!
And so, Changshuo easily abandoned his thoughts as a "human being".
I'm not human anymore, JOJO!.jpg
"Oh, I almost forgot to mention it. Your third uncle's daughter, your sister, is getting engaged in a few days. Go to school and ask for a week's leave, then go home. Your mother and I are far away right now and can't come over. I've already called your grandfather and your eldest brother to tell them. When you're almost at the airport, call your eldest uncle, and he'll have your brother pick you up."
I forgot to mention that Changyan's grandfather had three sons and one daughter; his father was the second son.
"The money has already been transferred to your account. Will you buy the plane ticket now?"
"No problem, shall we go now?"
"Hmm, going tomorrow is fine too. By the way, remember to explain things properly to your girlfriend. If she's going to break up over this, it's better not to have her at all."
"Don't worry, I know."
"That's good... Should I call your teacher?"
"It's okay, our teacher is very easy to talk to. Alright, it's almost dinner time, I should go prepare dinner."
"Um...okay, I'll hang up now, bye-bye."
"Goodbye."
"Beep," the phone was hung up by Chang Yan without any expression.
Sure enough, after all, this is "my" father, but not "my" father.
Being seated next to someone doesn't affect me anymore.
The term "same location" is like placing two folders with the same name in the same area on a computer; they either replace each other or are merged.
Unfortunately, my part has already been eaten by me.
At this moment, Chang Yan's gaze was calm, yet somewhat terrifying.
"Sir, dinner is ready."
"Ah, you're here. By the way, Kiyohime, I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow. One of my older sisters is getting engaged. Do you want to go?"
"No, it is my duty to go alone, Master Changyan."
"Eh???"
Chang Yan was utterly shocked. What did I just hear? Kiyohime actually said she wasn't going?! Your tracking skill is crying out in pain!
Seeing Chang Yan's shocked expression, Kiyohime smiled and said:
“From the current legal perspective, we are not yet adults, which means we are in a relationship too early. And many parents in China have a terrible attitude towards early relationships. If I go with them, as the saying goes, you will be in a difficult position.”
On one side are my family, on the other is my lover—
This is like the question someone posed: "If your wife and your mother both fell into the water, and you could only save one, which would you choose?" This kind of question has drawn countless criticisms and left many people feeling utterly helpless.
What? You say you want them all?
