Card Master Guide

The night was dark, and the Shanghai city was still immersed in the frenzied atmosphere after the competition ended.

The sleepless city seemed to be infected by the excitement of its citizens, with shops open all night and entertainment venues packed to celebrate the birth of a new world champion.

The hedonism of "Dragon of Time and Nothingness" Chaos overwhelmed rationality at this moment. Even if he had to go to work tomorrow, the citizens still chanted the name of "Epee Man" while drinking happily.

Epee man, this is no longer a simple name, but a symbol of legend.

As commentators tell, and some viewers firmly believe—

The world champion, Lin Xiao, will bring a new era to this world!

The drizzle fell hazily, soaking this skyscraper city full of high-rise buildings, and the red and blue neon haloed in the rainy night, giving off a blurred and alienated beauty, just like a myopic person took off his glasses. The rain splashed on the windows of the Jiangtan villa, and the celebration banquet of Lin Xiao and others in the villa was coming to an end.

"I'll help clean up." Chu Yun sat on the sofa, looking coldly at the leftovers on the dining table.

"No, there is a dishwasher, and Qiao Linna stays with me to clean up." Lin Xiao said.

Chu Yun took out the cigarette case, picked up the cigarette, and was not as polite as his good friend, nodded and said:

"Hmm... I'll go back and check on Kronos, the King of Titans, and I'll let you know if there's any new news."

"Thank you, Brother Chu Yun." Lin Xiao said sincerely.

"Speaking too much will be enough." Chu Yun looked at Lin Xiao, showing a slight smile: "Congratulations, world champion."

Chu Yun and Sigrid stood at the door saying goodbye, Lin Xiao and Qiao Linna were in charge of seeing them off, Sigrid waved her hands and winked at Lin Xiao desperately.

Lin Xiao didn't understand what her blinking meant, so he put his hands on the door and said calmly, "Goodbye, I need to contact you."

"What, you don't look happy at all when you become a world champion." Sigrid complained a few words, then smiled and waved her hands and said, "Okay, good night!"

Clear water gushed out of the faucet, and the sound of the water echoed in the quiet room. Lin Xiao was holding a rag in his hand, enjoying the tranquility of the moment, slightly lost in thought.

"You seem a little restless." Qiao Linna's voice came from behind.

Lin Xiao said dumbly: "No way, it's too late for me to be happy."

"You don't have to hide it from me." Qiao Linna walked to another sink next to Lin Xiao, unscrewed the water valve, cleaned up with him, and whispered, "Is something wrong?"

Lin Xiao turned off the water valve and wiped off the water stains on his big knuckle-knuckle hands: "Well... Lucifer and the others can't be contacted."

"Is there a problem at the winery?" Jolena asked.

"I don't know." Lin Xiao said.

"It's okay, I'll accompany you back tomorrow." Qiao Linna smiled slightly.

Lin Xiao looked at Qiao Linna's ruby-like eyes, was silent for a while, and then said:

"Stay tonight."

"Is this implying something?" Jolena asked lightly.

"Honestly, I don't know myself." Lin Xiao paused and said, "Maybe, as you said, I'm a little restless."

Qiao Linna carefully examined Lin Xiao's eyes, stretched out her cold hand, and pinched his cheek.

"I will stay." Jolena said calmly, "But don't use your brain."

Lin Xiao smiled: "It is enough to have you by my side."

"Tch... where did you learn it from?" Qiao Linna blushed slightly.

"You have to believe in talent and be patient."

Lin Xiao's pupils were black and white, and he said slowly: "Believe that I am learning, and I will love you more than before."

"Okay, don't act like a baby to me."

Qiao Linna continued to wash the dishes, blushing to the ears, and said coldly, but did not say the second half of her heart.

I'm afraid... I can't restrain my love for you.

Lin Xiao looked at Qiao Linna who was washing dishes beside her, and looked up at the drizzle outside the window.

The night was dark, and the mirrors of the windows reflected bright lights and two figures side by side.

"Go back to the winery tomorrow, and then investigate the 'King of Titans' Kronos."

Lin Xiao said with emotion: "Go to rest early."

...

the next day.

Lin Xiao and Qiao Linna got up early, took an early flight, arrived in Star Map City, and drove to the winery on the outskirts of Star Map City.

On the way to the winery, a flock of crows flew up in the forest, hoarsely chirping and hovering over the roof of the car.

Lin Xiao's heart became more and more solemn, covered with an ominous premonition, like a thick cloud.

Boom!

After parking the car and turning off the engine, Lin Xiao closed the door and looked at the almost unrecognizable Solomon Winery.

It was a shocking scene, thousands of grape fields turned into ashes, the mansion and courtyard seemed to be burned by fire, and the marble walls were stained with thick black smoke.

There was not a single servant in sight, the wind blew through the dilapidated winery, and there was a pungent burning smell, as if the luxurious winery had collapsed into ruins overnight.

The scorching wind blew against Lin Xiao's jacket, Jolena's brows were a little dignified, and she asked nervously, "What... happened here?"

"I don't know." Lin Xiao checked the tinder, his heart sank gradually, and he murmured: "My contract with Lucifer and Mammon has disappeared."

"What's the meaning?"

"It means that I could use the contract to restrict Lucifer and Mammon, but now, I can no longer find the connection with them..."

Lin Xiao's eyes were serious, his face was serious, and bad guesses flashed through his mind, which was also the last situation he wanted to see.

Lucifer, the head of the demon god, and Mammon, the greedy demon god... have betrayed me.

They were originally forced to sign the contract with the [Black Dragon Contract], but now, they have found a way to bypass the gaze of Nidhogg, the Dragon of Destruction and Reincarnation...

calm.

Lin Xiao's eyes flickered.

This is just my own guesswork.

Lin Xiao thought that there was a bond between him and Lucifer and Mammon, and the contract also tended to be equal rather than a master-servant contract.

Maybe something happened by accident?

For example, the evil god raided the winery during my finals, which led to the current situation?

Suddenly, a gleam of light appeared in Lin Xiao's eyes, and he rushed towards the ruins of the winery in a hurry!

"Hey, Lin Xiao! What are you going to do!" Qiao Linna shouted.

"There is still a demon god left in the manor!"

The winery mansion is mainly made of wooden structures, with an air of arrogance remaining, as if it had been burned by Lucifer's purple flame. The wooden planks were burned to the brim, with big holes cracked. Lin Xiao stepped on the rattling wooden planks on the second floor, pushed the door open with a "creak", and saw a pair of venomous eyes.

It was a beautiful woman with blood all over her face, with venomous eyes, and vicious words seemed to fly out of her red lips, leaning against the broken wall with one hand on her knee.

"Beelzebub?" Lin Xiao asked tentatively.

"Oh, you're back." Beelzebub sneered, "I thought you'd completely forgotten this place and the beautiful words you said."

"What happened?" Lin Xiao asked.

Beelzebub glanced at Lin Xiao's back and followed her gaze. Lin Xiao saw a long-legged Dream Demon Sister Yu who was dozing off with her eyes rubbing her eyes.

"Let me explain..." Belphegor said lazily, "To put it simply, it's... Let's break up here!"

She explained it slowly, and Lin Xiao finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Just yesterday, when Lin Xiao participated in the world competition, Lucifer and Mamen broke free from the shackles of the black dragon contract, destroyed the winery and left here.

The "God of Jealousy" Leviathan and the "God of Wrath" Samael also followed their guidance and defected from the winery together.

"But, Lucifer and Mammon, why did you do this?" Lin Xiao frowned.

"For the new world after the doomsday." Beelzebub said coldly.

"What?"

"Doomsday does not have good and evil. Only when the old world dies can a new world be born. Therefore, the savior of the old world is precisely the destroyer of the new world."

Beelzebub sneered: "Lucifer cooperated with you before because he believed that you could save the old world. But now, oh, there is no need to save."

"Because of you, Lin Xiao, you broke the shackles of the world and gave gods the opportunity to become ninth-tier gods again. Humans, in front of ninth-tier gods, are nothing more than replaceable existences. Even if humans in the old world perish, they will A new world of humanity is born."

"He and Mammon decided to cooperate with the big red dragon 'Satan' to reduce the resistance to the doomsday—to speed up the arrival of the new world!"

Lin Xiao froze in place, his mind buzzing.

It is true that Lucifer has compassion for human beings, but that is nothing more than God looking down on ants. In his eyes, human beings can also be replaced.

Just like the giant dragon used to be the master of the world, but after the demise of an old world, humans became the new masters of the world.

And human beings, like the former giant dragons, will eventually perish.

As for whether new humans will be born after the demise, or other earth masters will be born, which has nothing to do with the gods.

In the final analysis, gods and humans are two species.

Human beings will eventually perish with the destruction of the world, and what the gods have to do is to try to escape the "samsara" of world destruction and rebirth.

"I don't understand." Lin Xiao said: "Even if the new world comes, the gods of the old world will not escape the end of being destroyed!"

"That's why they have to cooperate with Satan." Beelzebub said coldly: "Cronus is a follower of Chaos. If they can devour the 'King of Titans' Cronus, they can pass the "time and The fragments of the law of time of the Void Lord" fell into a long sleep, skipped this reincarnation in a way similar to hibernation and cheating, and became a god again in the new world."

"You know that bastard Mammon, she has long planned to create a new world, so when Satan came to her, she was the first to defect and join the camp to welcome the end!" Beelzebub cursed.

Lin Xiao vaguely understood something.

'Lord of Destruction and Reincarnation' Ned Hogg is the destroyer of the old world, but he is also the creator of the new world.

In other words, Nidhogg is also one of the guardians of the world.

The destruction of the world is doomed, even if the end does not come, the dragon of destruction 'Nid Hogg' will take the initiative to destroy the world.

But this time, [Doomsday] broke the cycle, which exceeded Ned Hogg's expectations, and was not within the capabilities of the five creation dragons.

Let the gods who should have been destroyed have a chance to join the doomsday and escape from reincarnation.

Even the evil gods don't know whether the new world will really come, but instead of being destroyed together with the old world, it is better to join the doomsday and strive to continue to be a god in the new world.

Lucifer and Mammon betrayed themselves by pinning their hopes on the illusory new world because they saw through the nature of the world's doom.

Lin Xiao couldn't help showing a wry smile.

If the end of this world is destined to be destroyed, then what is the purpose of my hard work so far?

Join the doomsday and slaughter the gods who resist the doomsday, so maybe you can get to the end of the customs clearance faster...

Wait a minute, customs clearance ending?

There was a gleam in Lin Xiao's eyes.

No, this is the game world of "Card Master Guide".

The ending of all destruction is definitely not the best ending.

As if it was for the perfect ending——I want it too, pass the level with one life!

"So, Satan tempted Lucifer, Mammon, Samael, and Leviathan and betrayed me..."

After Lin Xiao said his name in one breath, he said in his heart that I was worse than Jesus. Jesus had only one Judas who betrayed him. When I came to me, four traitors appeared in one breath!

But Lin Xiao can understand.

Satan is an evil god known for his ability to deceive, and the ideas of Lucifer and Mammon coincide with him.

It's just that Lin Xiao is a little regretful... He thought that humans and gods could really trust each other, but he didn't expect to be betrayed.

"Why didn't you leave with Satan and the others?" Lin Xiao looked at Beelzebub.

Beelzebub glared at Lin Xiao: "It's hard to say whether there are flies in the New World, why should I go to the New World?"

"I'm here to protect my family and people—Asmodeus is reluctant to part with her group of humans who believe in lust." Beelzebub said.

Lin Xiao was ashamed.

Faith is sour, and he has made great contributions to protecting the world.

"That Belphegor... oh, I know her, but she is too lazy to participate in Satan's plan." Lin Xiao said.

'Sloth Demon God' Belphegor: "...um."

Lin Xiao had obtained all the information he needed and was about to leave, but Beelzebub stopped him: "Where are you going?"

"Go to the Pacific Ocean." Lin Xiao's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he paused every word, "Cut Satan down."

"If the 'King of Titans' Kronos, Lucifer and Mammon... dare to stop them, I will kill them together!"

Beelzebub opened his mouth in a daze, and the rampant and arrogant words made her speechless, and murmured:

"You... aren't you afraid of death?"

"In the final analysis, you are just a human being, with only the source power of the eighth-order peak, and you are not qualified to become a god at all!" Beelzebub shouted.

Lin Xiao fell into silence, and slowly said:

"I have been hesitating and thinking about what I need to do to protect this world..."

"Even after I became world champion, I was thinking, but I couldn't come to a conclusion."

"But now, I have the answer."

A sharp edge flashed across Lin Xiao's eyes. "All I can do is destroy."

Terrifying coercion enveloped Beelzebub's body, and the coercion had even reached the ninth level. A trace of shock flashed across her eyes, and she asked hoarsely, "What?"

Lin Xiao said slowly: "'Lord of Destruction and Reincarnation' Ned Hogg, the dragon of doom recorded in mythology, he took away the last life in this world and ushered in the rebirth of reincarnation and the world - Ned Hogg Hogg, He is the real guardian."

"What I have to do is to take over Nidhogg's mission and complete his path of destruction."

Lin Xiao said: "Destruction is also salvation."

It seemed as if a black dragon with spread wings appeared in front of his eyes, spewing burning fire into the world, burning any god who dared to resist to ashes.

As if breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly, Yuanli, which had been stagnant for a long time, transformed at this moment, heading towards the path of a ninth-level god.

Beelzebub fell into a daze, and squeezed his lips with difficulty, and the man's awe-inspiring words came to his ears.

"I am the end, I am the end of the world!"

...

Satan is the penultimate BOSS. _(:3」∠)_
