No, Qingchen felt that attracting lightning was just a normal battle that happened to bring forth lightning, and it was not worth mentioning in the prophecy.
The Fate Master felt Qing Chen's anger but was actually enjoying it. He curled his lip and mocked, "It's you who's locked up in the elevator now, not the Black Knights."
“They won’t get any secrets from me,” Qing Chen said coldly.
“They have ways,” the Virtuoso said, his eyes narrowing slightly. “They will take everything from you, including your identity, your memories, and… your body.”
Qing Chen raised an eyebrow in the elevator, his expression calm, but his tone was indignant: "What are they going to do to me?"
In fact, Qing Chen already knew what the Black Knights were planning to do!
Neuronal connection and possession!
The neurons in the Western Continent can even seize memories!
Qing Chen never expected that one day it would be the 'Knight' using such methods.
Wait a minute, the God Era is now a dog under the Roosevelt Kingdom. The God Era knows very well that Qing Chen cannot be possessed. Didn't he tell the Western Continent?
This is strange. Is the Divine Age harboring malicious intentions, or is the Fate Master deliberately trying to confuse the public?
Therefore, the purpose of the Black Knights training apprentices is to wait until the apprentices grow into true Black Knights, and then have those ancient souls take over the apprentices' bodies.
These people no longer need to face life-or-death situations; they only need to wait for their disciples to reach rank A before attempting to possess them.
The apprentices were full of enthusiasm, but they were all deceived.
If he continues his cultivation at the age of twenty-nine, he will probably face the situation of being possessed.
Thinking about this, Qing Chen even felt a little disgusted. He felt that these people were not worthy of being called knights at all.
The transport vehicle slowly started moving, escorted by 12 multi-functional armored vehicles and 4 armed helicopters, heading towards the northern city of Baiyin.
Feeling a bit bored in the train carriage, the fortune teller asked the elevator, "How does it feel to be betrayed by your own people?"
Qing Chen suddenly said, "Not bad."
The fortune teller sneered, "Stubborn to the end."
However, at that moment, an alarm came through the communication channel: "A fleet is rapidly approaching on radar!"
"Is it the Silver City fleet?" the Fate Master asked.
"They claim to be the Black Knights of Silver City, but when I checked their operational orders, they couldn't produce them," the officer said. "Moreover, they're accelerating their advance!"
"How many are they?" the Fate Master asked intently.
"It appears to be 7 Class A airships and 48 Class B airships!" the officer said.
This scale is simply overwhelming.
The Fate Master muttered, "This configuration looks so familiar... Oh no, it's the Fifth Princess's fleet! Quick, full speed ahead back to the military base, use their surface-to-air defense system to fight. No, no, it's too late!"
By this time, they had already traveled 120 kilometers away from the military base, and it was too late to turn back.
The other party calculated the distance and time, and their actions were extremely precise.
Moreover, the one who came was also a Fate Master, and a Fate Master who could break through to demigod status at any moment!
In an instant, the Princess 5 in the distant sky launched missiles, and a sky full of spiked missiles flew in, locking onto all the multi-functional armored vehicles at the military base in a flash.
The Fate Master shouted to the soldiers from inside the transport vehicle, "Contact the Black Knights of Silver City and tell them about the attack. Tell them to come as quickly as possible! Tell them it's the Fifth Princess!"
Qing Chen suddenly laughed in the elevator: "How does it feel to be beaten by your own people?"
The Fate Master stared at the elevator and said in a deep voice, "No one can change your fate as a prisoner."
"Oh?" Qing Chen asked with a smile as he stood in the elevator, "Really?"
The next moment, his right hand, adorned with a power ring and Buddhist beads from beyond the three realms, gently pressed the open button on the enclosed elevator.
The door opened.
The Fate Weaver: "???"
This claustrophobic elevator, which is said to be able to lock away everything in the world and from which even demigods cannot escape, has actually been opened?
They had previously used armed helicopters and genetically engineered soldiers to carefully escort the elevator, and at great cost, tricked the other party into entering. And now the elevator was just opened like that?
Fate has arranged everything, but the door of fate can be opened at any time.
Could it get any more outrageous?
Chapter 876, Enveloped in Light
The elevator made a dinging sound when the doors opened.
In a daze, the virtuoso felt as if he were standing at the door of an office, while his colleagues who had just arrived at work were inside the elevator.
The Joker opposite him simply reverted to his original appearance, and the smile on his face was like a silent mockery.
To be honest, Qing Chen wasn't entirely confident either. In order to open this door, he even put on the double insurance of the Three Realms and power.
That's actually quite safe.
Qing Chen opened the door, partly because the Fifth Princess had arrived, and partly because he needed to use electromagnetic pulses to disable the communication here, preventing the Fate Master from transmitting accurate messages.
At this moment, the Fate Master cut open his wrist and pulled a red longsword from the blood.
The longsword was as clear and transparent as crystal, and it was with this very weapon that the opponent had wounded He Jinqiu's Jade Heart Sword.
However, at that moment, Qing Chen did not step out of the elevator, but instead tried to press the close button.
With a ding, the opened door slowly closed again.
The Fate Master, sword in hand, stared blankly at the elevator. Why was it closed again? Who was he supposed to fight now?
The key point is, it's one thing if you can open it, but how can you close it?
With another ding, the elevator doors reopened.
This time, Qing Chen was a little different; his already short bangs had been cut off.
But then Qingchen grabbed a tuft of his own hair and blew on it fiercely!
In an instant, white clouds, like mountain mist, rolled out. The airflow swirled continuously in the narrow carriage, causing the tuft of hair in Qingchen's hand to spin repeatedly like thin blades, going out and coming back.
The Fate Master's combat ability is to seize the initiative, but if it is a means of killing that covers the entire area, then the invisible, shadowless, and inescapable black hair is like a knife, which makes his ability useless in an instant!
The soldiers in the carriage died without any resistance, and the Virtuoso curled up in a ball—it was the only thing he could do.
Not only that, Qing Chen stood in the elevator, constantly amplifying the electrical charge all over his body, instantly causing arcs of electricity to fly throughout the entire carriage.
The Fate Master was in despair; he felt his body go numb and he was completely unable to move.
Before Qing Chen even got out of the elevator, everyone in the carriage except for the Fate Master was dead.
The Fate Master knew that this terrifying method was a one-time use and could not be reused.
However, just as he was preparing to retaliate, Qing Chen, who was in the elevator, leisurely held the power bank in his pocket.
He cut off another tuft of bangs and repeated the operation from before.
The Fate Master was utterly desperate. He suddenly realized that only by fighting the Joker himself could he understand just how monstrous this being truly was.
There's no way to fight!
Footsteps echoed in the carriage, but the Fate Weaver had already been cut into a bloody mess, his tendons in his hands and feet severed at some unknown time.
Qingchen squatted down beside him and asked, "Why didn't you foresee this this time?"
The fortune teller lay on the ground and asked hoarsely, "Don't you know?"
“I don’t know,” Qingchen shook his head. “I was just waiting for the Fifth Princess to make her move. I know she’s a Fate Master, so she must know how to circumvent your methods. That’s why I made my move after she did. But I’ve been observing for a long time and I still don’t understand what kind of timing she used. Was it the distance? Was it the time? Can you tell me?”
“Dream on,” the Fate Master said angrily.
"Then I'm sorry," Qing Chen said regretfully, "You're probably the most pathetic Fate Master to die, aren't you?"
The fortune teller thought for a moment: "There are people even more pathetic than me."
Qing Chen paused for a moment: "You're quite humorous..."
After saying that, he infused the puppet with the last of his cloud-like energy and plunged it into the other's heart.
Qing Chen then gouged out the other person's eyeballs and put them into a bag.
He remembered that Shindai Yunluo had said that the quality of the eyeballs directly affected Hyakume's future strength, so he figured Hyakume would be quite happy to have given him an A-grade eyeball.
If only I could get some of the demigods' eyeballs.
The only thing to worry about is that the bag is almost full, and he needs to find a way to deliver it to Shen Dai Yunluo.
Qing Chen casually sacrificed the Fate Master to the marionette, and this time, the marionette actually grew a seventh thread!
Moreover, the marionettes seemed to be very happy, baring their teeth and brandishing their claws during the sacrifice.
Qing Chen found it strange. Was it because the forbidden objects were particularly interested in such extraordinary individuals who had mastered the rules?
...
...
The gunfire outside the transport vehicle had ceased.
With a click, Qing Chen opened the chest door. He looked at the Fifth Princess outside the door, and the Fifth Princess calmly looked at him as well: "Joker, I've heard so much about you. You infiltrated my husband's side and did so many things, and even teamed up with He to put on a good show for me. Not bad, back then on the phone, when you two were framing each other, you were so dramatic."
Qing Chen was a little embarrassed: "Hahahaha, we were forced to do this back then because of life's circumstances. We were enemies at the time."
The Fifth Princess asked, "So, you're friends now?"
“At least they’re not enemies,” Qing Chen said seriously. “While I was trapped in the elevator, I thought about many things. There are a few things I’m wondering about. Could you please enlighten me, Fifth Princess?”
Princess Vera said, "The Silver City fleet will arrive in 20 minutes. Ask us any questions you may have."
"Why were you able to evade the Fate Master's prophecy this time?" Qing Chen asked.
“I can’t tell you about the Fate Master,” Vera said, looking into Qing Chen’s eyes. “You should also know very well that telling you the secrets of the Fate Master is tantamount to handing over my fate to you. For now, you’re not enough for me to offer such a pledge of allegiance.”
Vera said, "The Eastern Continent has been embroiled in internal strife for hundreds of years. Even with my Roosevelt Kingdom eyeing them covetously, they have killed several demigods and even waged war against each other. Now, if the Roosevelt Kingdom were to launch a full-scale eastern expedition, it could conquer the entire Eastern Continent without breaking a sweat. In this situation, even though we are both being hunted down, how can I trust that you can help me?"
Qingchen thought for a moment and said, "What I say now doesn't seem very convincing, but I need some time. Time will give us the answer."
Qing Chen's foundation was ultimately shallow; he needed time to witness the rise of the experts under his command.
