Chapter 1204: Chapter 669: Thunder’s Curtain Call (Part 2)

"Here, thunder is forbidden."

Alice’s figure was very calm.

As the Dawn Fire Ring unfolded, Alice pulled out a Treasure Card:

"Thank you both. Time to return."

With the absorption by the Treasure Card, Gloria and the War God Puppet Body disappeared from the scene.

Alice looked at the Master of Thunder and grinned, "As expected, revenge is more interesting when you do it yourself."

The Master of Thunder frowned upon hearing Alice’s words, "Revenge? What grudge do we have?"

"What grudge..."

Alice was momentarily stunned.

Then she smiled and shook her head, "Forget it, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you."

"Blame your priests for indiscriminately burning people."

Alice didn’t want to appear overly emotional and dramatic.

She disliked such sentiments.

But her inner resentment was no less intense.

The Master of Thunder snorted coldly, "Retrieving Gloria may be your biggest mistake."

"Oh?" Alice winked at the Master of Thunder, "Do you think you can definitely win against me?"

"The moment you stepped into this fire ring, you lost."

Alice raised the Twilight Magic Staff.

The Master of Thunder felt a surge of restlessness within his body.

The next second, his divine power uncontrollably surged outward, eventually forming purple chains that bound him.

What is this?

"The useless rules of the old era will be erased by the dawn," Alice said calmly, "I think your power has no value in the new era. What do you think?"

"Dawn Power?!"

The Master of Thunder immediately understood the essence of this power.

"Bingo, correct." Alice snapped her fingers.

A white flame ignited at the chest of the Master of Thunder.

"Even Dawn Power is useless in the face of absolute strength!"

The Master of Thunder wanted to explode in anger, but was shocked to find that none of his commands could be realized as actual attacks.

As if he never issued any attacks at all.

"The essence of magic or extraordinary power is the process where the will incites the rules," Alice strolled to the front of the Master of Thunder.

"You need the corresponding reference rules to turn your attack intentions into reality." Alice grinned at the Master of Thunder, "Do you think I would leave rules favorable to you in this domain?"

The Master of Thunder was startled.

If this is really the case, he...

"Yes, this means you’ve become a blank slate." Alice tilted her head, showing a cute smile, "How does it feel to be a mortal, Mr. Thunder?"

"Ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha!"

The Master of Thunder laughed loudly.

"What does it feel like? I, who have forged a divine body, am immortal and indestructible!"

"Bargas thought the same."

The Master of Thunder’s words were immediately choked.

"Wasn’t his divine body even stronger than yours?" Alice lifted her Magic Staff and pointed it at the Master of Thunder’s forehead.

He wanted to react, but the chains formed by his divine power still firmly bound him.

The Master of Thunder never imagined he would one day be humiliated by a mere human like this.

And what Alice said made sense.

He believed his divine body was immortal and indestructible?

Yet Bargas still became a puppet in someone else’s hands.

Even his supposed immortality and indestructibility added not strength but control to the puppet.

Noticing the Master of Thunder’s fear, Alice tried to comfort him, "No need to fear, I wasn’t the one who killed Bargas."

The Master of Thunder let out a slight breath...

Wait! Why am I...

Before the Master of Thunder could speak, Alice’s next words plunged him into the abyss.

"It was Claude," Alice playfully waved her small fist in front of the thunder, "Claude only used three punches."

The Master of Thunder’s pupils widened in shock, his bound body couldn’t help but tremble.

Seeing the Master of Thunder’s reaction, Alice was puzzled, "I say, is your reaction to hearing Claude’s name really that big?"

The Master of Thunder glared at Alice angrily.

Clearly possessing the power to instantly kill me, yet choosing to wield a corroded rusty sword to slowly grind me to death one slash at a time.

That’s what your so-called Claude did! ℯℯ𝑙.

Alice felt perplexed being glared at by the Master of Thunder.

"How about I bring Claude here?" Alice asked tentatively.

"In that case, just kill me quickly," the Master of Thunder replied quickly.

"..."

So all my efforts and emotions are less potent than just mentioning Claude’s name?

Alice inwardly complained.

But as the Master of Thunder said, being a human, she indeed had few means to kill him.

Hmm, not many.

As Alice invoked her power, the white flame in the chest of thunder began to dance with increasing intensity.

Countless rules, like pieces of wood, were continuously thrown into this flame.

Gradually, the flame formed a white vortex, wildly absorbing the surrounding rules.

The space began to collapse.

Some objects that made contact with it were headed for annihilation.

The boastful divine body of the Master of Thunder fell within the domain of this extraction.

However, this extraction process wasn’t fast.

The Master of Thunder only felt his soul and body being scraped off layer by layer.

Only pure divinity could resist its devouring.

This black hole-like fireball imbibed all energy, feeding back to Alice as it did.

At this moment, if Alice desired, she could instantly ascend to the fifteenth tier.

However, Alice suppressed her urge for advancement.

She had just recently ascended to the fourteenth tier, and wasn’t completely steady – better to solidify her foundation before advancing further.

To be precise, Alice wasn’t all that hungry for power.

From start to finish, it was merely when she initially wanted to help Claude that she trained hard for a brief period.

Yet, that effort seemed fruitless.

According to Shen Sui, working hard for three days and sleeping with closed eyes for three days had nearly the same effect.

Later, Alice didn’t spend much thought on training anymore.

She was always toiling with things that interested her.

Or she was embarking on adventures in other Soul Card Worlds.

And her ranks increased naturally through this process.

With the final ripples of the Master of Thunder fading away, only a continuously spinning white fireball remained before Alice.

And the divinity of the Master of Thunder flashing around the white fireball.

Alice pulled out a Treasure Card and sealed both the fireball and the divinity.

Well, that settles things here...

Wonder how things are going on Baris’ side?

Alice thought she’d be very happy.

But as she realized the final blow, she found that the journey seemed to hold more meaning.

It couldn’t be said to be uneventful.

Avenging her parents gave her some peace.

Yes, it could be said that killing the Master of Thunder brought her less joy than winning a card game.

Thinking this, Alice gazed at the plains below, lost in thought.

"How did it go?"

Anna and Aina arrived together.

They looked at Alice, who was daydreaming there, with concern.

Alice raised her head and glanced at them.

Then she suddenly asked, "Do you know how to play cards?"

"Huh?" Anna froze immediately.

Aina, however, reacted, "Life Card Dueling? Played it a few times."

Although Life Card Dueling had nearly vanished on the Dawn Continent, within some ancient Elf Race tribes there were still a few enthusiasts.

Of course, Aina’s primary exposure to Life Card Dueling was because her mother was always pestering to play cards.

Because she couldn’t win in the real world, Freymia turned her attention to the Dawn Continent.

In duels with Aina, it felt like she wielded the Pearl Tears like a transmigrator returning to an archaic environment, possessing a god-slaying demeanor.

It might seem like bullying, but it was oddly satisfying!

"Then let’s duel!" Alice’s eyes lit up happily.
