Chapter 1880: Chapter 1875: Instrument Seedbed (30)

True experts never rely on gambling for their success.

Specifically, even when sitting at the gambling table, they never gamble on luck, always using various means to ensure victory.

For example, the fearless Lord Holy Infant across the table, and the current attempt at being ”unselected.”

And it seems that his minor innovation has worked.

When dealing with high-tier powers, the influence of Eternal Clarity Mind is extremely short. Therefore, Fu Qian carefully timed its release.

So, at the very moment the sonic boom was about to burst from the Ice Crystal, the power of the Transcendent suppression swept across.

And then it all vanished.

The ringing dissipated, and the sonic boom did not occur.

The moment the gamble was locked, it seemed to be cut off. Meanwhile, on the other end of the Bonds, Virgin Lanina’s crystalline body quivered again.

Without even needing to sense it, one could hear the impact’s ferocity directly with their ears.

After all, the opponent’s warp distance was not far, just between the upper and lower floors of a building.

So after becoming ”unselected,” not only did the Russian Roulette bullet not shoot over, but with only one target left, should one fire indiscriminately?

Indeed, one’s mind must never be rigid; whether using items or abilities, one must learn and apply flexibly.

In past experiences, Fu Qian had hardly ever tried to use Eternal Clarity Mind to evade blows from higher Rankings.

The reason being, it’s hard to control the timing, and such life-or-death locking methods are rarely seen.

In summary, the effect was very good.

Though the statue of the Virgin seemed undamaged, after a short shudder, it warped again.

This time, the distance was much more exaggerated.

According to Fu Qian’s memory of the building’s layout, it was almost at a diagonal position.

Yet he still did not use Blood Conquest to breach walls, instead walking step by step along the path.

...

Lord Holy Infant seemed to need a bit of buffer time.

Stepping onto the staircase leading further downward, he confirmed that this place’s layout was almost identical to the prison he had been in before. Simultaneously, Fu Qian reached another conclusion.

The reason being, until now, the time matched the same interval as the second round of rock-paper-scissors, but no new movement appeared.

Although the Virgin on the other end of the Bonds remained quietly courteous, showing no damage, given the situation at hand, there was no reason for her to let him catch his breath.

The only explanation is that whether it was invoking that destructive power or the butterfly effect’s triggering, something about her state imposed a slight restriction on one of these.

After all, enduring two consecutive punishment failures isn’t easy, understandable.

Either way, it’s good news for him; luck coupled with wisdom to win two consecutive gambles allowed him to probe a certain degree of reality.

In theory, what should be done now is to use this brief respite to quickly chase in that direction with unrelenting ferocity, until it’s destroyed.

But things aren’t that simple.

Fu Qian paused his steps, overlooking the bottom of the staircase, at a relatively unfamiliar figure.

Alertly watching a specific direction, seemingly drawn by the previous commotion, the person suddenly realized something the next moment and turned abruptly to look over.

”Hello, what’s your name?”

Simultaneously resuming his steps, Fu Qian descended one step at a time, politely greeting based on his previous experience dealing with the Wandering Knight.

...

Indeed, who else could it be but the legendary Fourth Knight?

Moreover, considering the timing, it should already be about right.

He could arrive here through the Bonds, so why couldn’t the Apocalypse Knight be summoned to protect?

As for why the mission hasn’t failed?

Fu Qian doesn’t believe that the previous judgment about the Knights’ last ripples, that ”killing them is useless,” is overthinking.

But logically, ”before the four Apocalypse Knights arrive” was the premise of the previous mission.

It now has no direct relation to Fu Qian taking down the Holy Infant.

Even the notion of the Holy Infant ”ceasing to regenerate” can somewhat support this.

Because he arrived at this time and space, becoming a pollutant, the appearance of the Fourth Knight is no longer a guaranteed demise condition.

Of course, theoretically, a fatal factor still applies.

They are Knights, after all. Isn’t it their duty to eliminate pollution and maintain sanctity?

Appearing on the path of conquest surely shouldn’t be approached with goodwill, especially given his current appearance, which sincerely lacks benevolence.

But Fu Qian didn’t strike first, for a simple reason: he was here to converse with the Fourth Knight.

This is precisely why he didn’t take shortcuts and was willing to risk mission failure.

...

Who exactly are the Apocalypse Knights?

Through all the deductions and validations, he’s almost reached a certain conclusion: they are all temporary projections from a high-level Extraordinary of the past.

And thinking about it carefully, it’s an extremely wondrous thing.

An existence in the past, standing at the top of the Extraordinary Sequence, could even be communicated with.

What invaluable information such a character could bring is truly something to anticipate, cannot be missed.

And that’s not even all; is being a high-level Extraordinary the only selection condition?

He himself knows many diverse talents, yet sees no familiar faces.

The four Knights capable of aiding Lord Holy Infant Star’s resurrection; it’s hard to believe there’s no special Bond among them.

Currently, the origin of this unexpected event should be with Jill’s Parasite Lanina, exacerbated by the Crimson Frenzy.

Otherwise, it’s hard to explain why, despite Jill’s age, no mistakes occurred before.

But this is just the most superficial deduction; many thought-provoking elements remain.

Even if the Fourth Knight can’t provide key information in this area, a high-level Extraordinary’s last ripple may hold valuable insight.

Though labeling this person as a high-level Extraordinary might be a bit of a stretch.

Just slightly divine-like in manner.

A lady with black hair, not very tall but quite young, younger than Jill, with much more refined features.

Looking over with eyes as gentle and firm, her attire is also elegant and tidy, exuding a certain old-school scholarly aura.

”Hello.”

Indeed, someone cultured, even if visibly on high alert, didn’t respond with a cold face to Fu Qian’s polite greeting.

”You look quite unfamiliar, but you can call me Kaldora.”

After a scrutinizing glance, she nodded slightly, introducing herself.

But this name...
