It is said that human beings have three questions to solve in their lifetime, and Shu had just asked himself these three questions in his heart.
Looking at the few cards that Kiana handed to him, which were like a heavenly book, his brain completely overloaded after a tractor-like roar, leaving only a mess like the endgame of this game.
Who am I?
A "Demon King" who can't understand the rules.
Where am I?
A hell called "Creation Mountain."
What am I going to do?
A hero is asking the demon king for advice on how to defeat her competitor.
This absurd reality made Shu unable to even muster the strength to complain. He took a deep breath, a breath that carried the vicissitudes of seeing through the world.
Then Shu looked at Kiana with an almost ethereal gaze, stretched out a finger that was less trembling with effort, and casually pointed at a card with a cool mecha pattern on it.
"This one," his voice was dry, without any emotional color. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether he was a cold-blooded executioner who was casually pointing out a prisoner to be executed or the prisoner himself.
"Oh! 'ARAHATO: Super-Dimensional Judgment'! Shu, you really know your stuff!" Shu's finger easily pierced through the haze that covered Kiana's world. She suddenly realized, and her eyes instantly lit up like a searchlight.
Without hesitation, she slapped the card on the chessboard: "Activate! I will ignore your hundred years of development and launch an attack on you from a hundred years ago!"
"You're actually using the card 'ARAHATO: Super-Dimensional Judgment'?! Using a spatiotemporal attack, bypassing the 'Future City' which is said to be an absolute defense, to directly launch a killing blow on the fragile bodies of the Delta Vodka Girls combination!"
Siegfried was so excited that he was almost about to jump up. It had to be admitted that this uncle, who had been more serious than everyone else from the very beginning, could still burst out with a passion that could move everyone's emotions after three hours.
"Delta Vodka Girls combination, how will you respond!?"
"Hmph... how will we respond?" And under the watchful eyes of everyone, Rosalia suddenly smiled smugly, a smile that was more villainous than a demon king's and more creepy than Sin Mal's.
"Heh heh heh heh..." And on the other side, Lilia, who had always had a three-no face, actually let out a stiff but indeed strange smile.
The next moment, amidst the exclamations of the crowd, the two of them leaned back to back, their expressions so abstract that they were even a little ferocious as they forcefully drew an almost identical card from their hands.
"As expected, if we get serious..."
"We'll be ridiculously strong!"
The seamless dialogue between the two made Kiana's face change dramatically. Her already fair face instantly turned pale.
"Could it be—?"
Rosalia and Lilia were still drawing cards. The two of them seemed to be moving in slow motion, but their speaking speed was not slow at all, chanting a profound and obscure spell.
"Lost from the heavens and descended—"
"O evil demon born into the world!"
"May the holy and tender-skinned maiden—"
"The holy thunder attached to her skin!"
"All filth and impurity—"
"Be crushed and returned in full!"
"Devour it all!!!"
The moment the cards in their hands left the deck, they burst out with an unprecedentedly dazzling white light, as holy as a long ladder descending from heaven to guide the world to ascend to godhood.
And Shu was the pilgrim, shedding hot tears under the illumination of this holy light.
But he was, after all, the "Demon King," a heinous existence. He only felt that the two rays of light stung his eyes and burned his fragile soul.
What is this? He couldn't help but ask.
"This is our passionate combination skill!" Rosalia and Lilia were like the protagonist group who had discovered their bond at the grand finale. With perfectly symmetrical movements, they slammed the two cards in front of everyone.
"'Vodka Girls' Shining Stage'!"
"We will be immune to any attack from a single person! Kiana, you can't defeat our 'Vodka Girls' combination alone, heh heh heh..."
Shu, with tears in his eyes: "..."
Is it really okay for you guys who were just shouting about friendship and bonds to laugh like that?
And why does this game, which is said to have been popular for a long time, have cards that are so compatible with the two of you?
"It's—actually—on-site—card—printing!" Siegfried roared out the truth that Shu's heart longed for. "So, from the moment you started to promote the development of technology and build 'Future City,' you were already planning for this moment?"
This wasn't the truth, this was abstract as hell!
What kind of operation is on-site card printing? Is the true meaning of this game to play wherever you dream?
With this thought, Shu felt as if a bolt of lightning had pierced through his brain, leaving a path of wisdom shining in the hazy mist.
So that's how it is... so that's how it is?!
"Shu, what should we do now?" At this moment, Kiana looked over with a panicked expression, the meaning in her eyes clearly seeing Shu as her last hope.
However, at this moment, Shu did not feel any pressure. His mind was full of the relief of enlightenment at Longchang, and even a strange excitement of finally seeing the sun after weathering the storm.
This is really strange, you know?
"Do you have any contract-type cards?" Shu leaned towards Kiana. This time, he looked at the string of cards in her hand with extra seriousness.
As expected, Shu really found seven shining golden Shenzhou characters in the pile of various texts he couldn't understand.
[Become a Magical Girl!: You will become a cute contract beast. In order to fight against the despair of the witches, go and make a contract with your magical girl!]
"Hmph ha ha ha..." Shu suddenly laughed, laughing so hard that he bent over. He raised his hand, seemingly wanting to cover his mouth to stop his sudden laughter, but in the end, he only covered his eyes, his whole body trembling at a low frequency.
"Shu, there really is one!" Kiana also saw the card at this moment. Hope was more brilliant than ever.
But when she turned her head and saw Shu, who was twitching, Kiana couldn't help but ask from the bottom of her soul: "Shu, are you shy?"
If she remembered correctly, Shu's current state was shyness, right?
Shu's body suddenly froze. The sentence that almost came out of his mouth, "The truth of 'Creation Mountain,' I have deciphered it!" was forcefully swallowed back.
"It's nothing," Shu pinched the bridge of his nose pretentiously, and wiped away the tears that had just been shed.
"Let's continue," when he looked up again, his eyes burst out with unprecedented confidence.
