Chapter 906: Are You Willing?

“In such a hurry to make a move? Then bring it on! The Hunt! Transcend Mode! Full power!”

【Major Consumption Reduction】

Countless dark-gold specks of light converged high in the sky. Above the clouds, a dragon roared.

The sound of mechanical gears reverberated across heaven and earth!

“Roar!!!”

The dragon appeared among the clouds.

The clouds wound around its body.

The “everything” forcibly absorbed from this world by Major Consumption Reduction was fueling The Hunt’s Transcend Mode!

A mere 2,000 Train Coins’ worth was enough to turn this entire area into a colorless void!

“Transcend Warhead!”

Without the slightest hesitation or thought,

the moment the 【Overdrive Omniplus · Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon】 finished absorbing all the power and appeared, it opened its mouth.

Revealing the warhead engraved with a black Inverted Cross.

A faint smile touched Ye Qiyan’s face.

【Aiming】

【Target: Execution Platform】

【Full power!】

【Fire!】

People scattered in every direction, screaming in terror.

Everyone knew that when Altos’s mechanical dragon opened its mouth and revealed that warhead, it meant the entire area was about to be utterly destroyed.

As the warhead fell, all color, sound, and matter were devoured by the black hole that kept expanding!

Heinris glared at Ye Qiyan, seeming to say something.

He pressed a button, and a pure white white hole began canceling out The Hunt’s black hole.

Had sound returned?

Ye Qiyan heard what Heinris had just said.

“Two seconds! He can hold it for two seconds at most. As long as we cancel it out...”

Two seconds?

Indeed.

If this had been the old him, he really could only have maintained it for two seconds.

But that was the past.

One, two... three...

The Spirit and Stamina consumed at an exponentially increasing rate plummeted.

When the pocket watch’s second hand ticked forward for the third time,

the black hole in the sky above the Execution Platform instantly collapsed!

But it hadn’t disappeared. Instead, it began dragging everything around it inward with even more terrifying force.

The city’s buildings crumbled.

The hard ground split apart.

People fleeing in every direction desperately clutched at anything they could, just to keep themselves from being pulled away.

Three point three seconds.

That was Ye Qiyan’s current limit under normal conditions.

When his Spirit fell to one,

the black hole created by the Transcend Warhead vanished instantly.

At that moment!

The plaza had become a wasteland!

The surrounding high-rises were pulverized and collapsed!

The people pulled into the air by the gravity came crashing down.

Everything descended into chaos.

But it was because of this chaos

that the low-level Train Conductors who had been kept under guard suddenly noticed that their captors had also turned their attention to Altos.

At a time like this, perhaps there wouldn’t be any guards in the Capsule Tunnel. Perhaps...

Some people reacted quickly and immediately fled toward the Capsule Tunnel.

Tens of thousands began to escape.

Heinris stood on the Execution Platform, surveying the ruin around him. His eyes were filled with disgust as he looked at Ye Qiyan.

“What else can you people do besides kill and burn everywhere, destroying the world?! Lord Heinz wants the weak to find happiness! And yet you bunch of lunatics insist on getting in his way!

“And them!

“A bunch of ingrates!

“Weak! Stupid!

“Lord Heinz was willing to make you the first residents. That was a blessing!

“A bunch of trash, and you still dare think of escaping!”

Heinris had not attacked the ordinary Train Conductors.

After the Transcend Warhead reached its third second, the white hole he had used to counter it could no longer be sustained.

It was only his follow-up defense that kept the Execution Platform from becoming a ruin like everything around it.

One of the other eleven Top-Tier Train Conductors opened up Train space.

He released a large number of armored warriors to stop the low-level Train Conductors from escaping.

Amid the ruins,

Achuan wiped his youthful face and flashed a huge grin at Zhang He, who was still shaken.

“Stay alive. Run for the Capsule Tunnel, and don’t look back.”

“Ah, okay, okay. But what about you?”

“Me?”

Achuan’s expression turned a little vicious.

“Obviously, I’m going to butcher every last one of these enemies!”

Ghosts appeared!

Eight Ghost Spirit Cards formed a Ring behind him.

“By the way, my name is Achuan!”

He soared into the air.

Tens of thousands of ghosts poured out of his Train.

They clashed with the armored warriors, covering the people’s retreat.

As for Achuan, with Utopia City’s defensive forces now completely focused on Ye Qiyan, he raced toward the Execution Platform and sprang upward from below.

“Knew you’d come.”

Another of the Twelve Fortunes turned his gaze toward him.

The little boy holding a scepter grinned and spun it around.

A treasure for subduing demons circled around him.

He fired chain after chain toward Achuan.

“I’m the perfect counter to the likes of you... Hm?”

The chains seemed to hit Achuan, but passed straight through his body.

“Heh, you really think I haven’t improved in all this time, just like you?”

Achuan sneered. His original body turned into a cloud of ghostly energy and vanished.

In its place, he appeared inside an electronic Light Screen behind them. As an electronic ghost, he shot straight toward Fan Huo.

【Ghost Spirit Card · Obsession】

This was the plan he and Ye Qiyan had made the previous night.

At the beginning of the battle, Ye Qiyan would draw everyone’s attention.

Achuan would use the Ghost Spirit Card that let him turn into an electronic phantom to rescue Fan Huo.

With Fan Huo there, they would no longer be the only two participants in the battle.

There would be three of them.

After all, the two of them alone stood little chance against the full force of an entire Homeward-bound Soul city.

Rescue Fan Huo and take him away.

Menrojina had already unlocked the Capsule Tunnel’s rear entrance for the two of them.

No matter what, once they boarded the Train, Utopia City would have no way to stop them.

But Achuan had still underestimated Utopia City’s preparations.

“You’ve certainly surprised me. Your growth has exceeded the profiler’s calculations.”

A stretchy cord yanked the boy holding the scepter back to the Execution Platform. He swung the scepter, and it crashed against Achuan’s Ghost Blade.

“Let’s fight somewhere else!”

The little boy spun his scepter and vanished from the spot with Achuan in a flash of golden light.

Whoosh...

Above this city, which had become a battlefield,

only Ye Qiyan remained, standing calmly atop The Hunt.

Facing him were eleven Top-Tier Train Conductors who had spent years traveling the Wasteland and were fighting on their

</path> home ground.

Hundreds of High-Level Train Conductors, and tens of thousands of extraordinary beings.

And the Mayor, Heinz, who had yet to appear and would become a True God in just over three hours.

And... the pressure emanating from all of Utopia City.

“Mr. Altos, I’ll give you one last chance.”

Heinris raised his head, gazing up at the Overdrive Dragon coiled high in the sky. A flicker of apprehension crossed his eyes.

“Mr. Altos, we know you’re strong. But if you hand over the Memory Object and leave today, we’ll call it even and pretend none of this ever happened. How about that?

“You’re alone here, and you’ll remain alone!

“Or do you think this trash, who can do nothing but run, can help you!?

“Altos, don’t give up your Self for the weak.”

“Heh...”

Ye Qiyan suddenly laughed. Mockery filled his laughter.

“What are you laughing at?”

For some reason, Heinris felt inexplicably irritated.

“I’m laughing at what you just said. Don’t give up your Self for the weak? If that’s how you think, aren’t you the one denying the very Mayor Heinz you worship? Admit it. Perhaps Heinz truly does want people to be happy, but you don’t.

“We’re Train Conductors, beings who travel the Wasteland.

“Are you really willing to watch the so-called End appear before your eyes?”

Demon’s Whisper echoed in their ears~

Bewitchment’s soft words stirred the hearts of those present~

“Come on. Answer me.”

【Defiance × Bewitchment】

Pitch-black malice surged outward!

“Are you really willing?”
