Chapter 352: The Last Meeting Before The Universal War (1)
[Feeling that the combat power of the Zenith Train Crew was more than enough to deal with those sealed Celestial rank Wild Gods, you initiated a meeting with the entire Zenith Train Crew, which was held within the Entertainment Facility World Carriage.]
[This time, you and the others weren’t playing Texas Hold’em Poker but instead, you all played Russian Roulette.]
[The gun you all used for the Russian Roulette was something you had upgraded from the piles of rule horror merchandise you’ve got from the Rule Horror Maze.]
{The Sixth Revolver (Late Celestial): The revolver of the Sixth Gambler who was said to be immortal. Yet, this revolver’s bullets could precisely kill his physical body.
Effect 1: Can absolutely hit the target’s head as long as the intent to aim at the target was made.
Effect 2: The Sixth Revolver has six chambers with only one loaded bullet. However, the chance to shoot a bullet is only one sixth. In other words, it’s possible to pull the trigger ten times, yet no bullet is shot.
Effect 3: When the revolver’s bullet hits the target’s head, the entire physical body of the target seems to implode, but it’s merely a special effect and illusion. The bullet attack is based on a rule-based death mechanism that will absolutely kill the physical body, so no visible damage to the physical body will be shown.
Effect 4: When shouting "Sixth Six", at the expense of the revolver being destroyed, the sixth bullet shot can not only kill the target’s physical body but also the target’s soul.
Effect 5: Only items or abilities above the item’s rule priority can override the death caused by The Sixth Revolver.}
[You and Jade have the means to upgrade low-grade artifacts into Celestial-grade artifacts due to each of your exchange lists recording 99.9999% of the resources available in the train survival universe.]
[Due to this, you and Jade had already upgraded most of the useful low-grade artifacts that you all possessed, including the rule horror merchandise you’ve acquired from the Rule Horror Maze.]
[In fact, the Rule Horror Amusement Park Station where the Rule Horror Maze Station was from was already transformed by you into a World Globe.]
[If you ever needed the specialty items and artifacts from there, you could just take them from that World Globe.]
[Holding The Sixth Revolver, Morvane started the Russian Roulette as he pressed the Sixth Revolver’s muzzle towards his temple while asking, "When can we start slaughtering those Wild Gods?"]
["There’s not much point in delaying it further since only a few months are left and it won’t improve our combat power with so little time."]
[After stating his opinion, Morvane pulled the trigger twice, which resulted in blanks. But on his third trigger pull, the Sixth Revolver shot the bullet with a resounding loud bang, causing Morvane’s head and entire body to implode, splattering blood and flesh towards you all.]
[However, none of you dodged. After all, all of you possessed the X-rank All Seeing Eyes and could see through it that that blood and flesh were merely an illusion.]
[In reality, Morvane merely lost his life, and his physical body fell towards the ground with a thud.]
["Reverse!"]
[Seeing Morvane’s physical death, Jade made her move as a Golden Pocket Watch appeared beside her.]
[Using her Golden Time spirit avatar and Time Sovereignty, Jade managed to easily override the rule-based death mechanism of the Sixth Revolver, causing Morvane to stand up again as if his death didn’t happen.]
[The bullet that was shot had also returned back to the revolver’s chamber due to Jade’s time reversal.]
[Recalling his death, Morvane cursed in helplessness, "Is my luck that bad? The Conductor’s territory had already removed any luck stat boosts from our bloodline traits as well as abilities."]
[Morvane didn’t care much about his physical death since you all possessed the means to become a Celestial Spirit after the physical body was destroyed.]
[It could be said that killing a Celestial rank powerhouse absolutely required the death of the soul as well in order to ensure that they couldn’t live a second life as a Celestial Spirit.]
[It’s due to this reason that you and the others decided to play Russian Roulette since The Sixth Revolver wouldn’t truly kill any of you. Moreover, none of you were afraid of temporary death since you all had experienced dying countless times in the battle simulation.]
[With this in mind, Morvane passed The Sixth Revolver to Astraea, who was next in line. You all had stood in a circle formation, with the passing of The Sixth Revolver in a clockwise order.]
[While placing the Sixth Revolver’s muzzle towards her temple, Astraea commented, "Morvane’s right. The remaining sixth months won’t increase our law fragment ownership much and won’t have a qualitative change in our combat power."]
["The earlier we escape from this universe using that escape plan of yours, the earlier that I’d have to no longer dread our inevitable death in this universe."]
[Pulling the trigger of the revolver, Astraea experienced six blanks, but on the seventh trigger, the bullet shot out and killed her.]
["Reverse!"]
[As soon as she died, Jade reversed time, and so Astraea was as good as new.]
[Passing the Sixth Revolver to Old MacDonald, Astraea smiled smugly, "I’ve lasted until the Seventh Trigger; I bet no one can surpass my record."]
[The chambers of The Sixth Revolver were merely for show. Just like rolling a six-sided die, it’s possible to roll it six times yet the die not landing even once on the sixth face.]
[The Sixth Revolver was purely based on luck and probability. For Astraea to last until the Seventh Trigger, especially with everyone’s luck at normal values, was indeed a luck feat.]
[Facing Astraea’s smugness, Old MacDonald chuckled, "This old man’s luck has always been good. Also, I support initiating the Universal War now."]
["It’s better to do it now since there’s still half a year before the Divine rank Wild Gods become impatient, which gives us more time to react when they do intervene."]
