Strange Cards

Chapter 388: Quite Important Intelligence

"Brother Shigure!"

Qi Wu and Gu Yue exchanged a glance, then picked up their two children and fled into the distance.

They knew they couldn't get involved in this battle.

Rather than staying and becoming a burden to Shigure, it's better to protect yourself and allow Shigure to act more freely.

Just as Shiyu was about to smash open the Requiem for Salvation, she suddenly remembered something, put it away, and a huge black shadow instantly appeared behind her.

"This is...."

"That's right."

"This is what my body truly looks like."

As Shi Yu spoke, she disappeared into the shadows behind her. Then, a pitch-black monster suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Kai and roared to the sky.

Upon seeing this, Joker also transformed into his original form, and the two giants, roughly the same size, stood alive in the central shopping mall of South Sea City.

The giant monster that Shigure transformed into clenched its fists, causing the surrounding air to explode with a series of sonic booms.

"During those years I was trapped in the sealed space, I thought about killing you every single moment."

"I wish I could tear pieces of flesh off your body one by one."

"My life was originally wonderful."

"Although it has some minor flaws, its merits outweigh its flaws."

"And it is because of you that I have ended up like this."

"Get out of this world!"

As Shigure spoke, she clenched her fist and punched forward, and at that moment, her time-related abilities were activated.

Five minutes of time in the entire world were forcibly consumed by Shigure, which is also the power of the fully evolved Ten of Spades.

The power to manipulate time at will.

Whether it's speeding up, pausing, reversing, or adding or erasing time out of thin air.

Now that Shigure has become the Joker, he can do it too.

The gears of time in this world have been firmly grasped in Shigure's palm.

Shigure's body contains a total of thirteen rules, and none of them are like the incomplete rules of the Mysterious Card; they are all complete rules.

Moreover, the rules of annihilation of the steel claws are also included, and the rules of annihilation have already been integrated into the body.

Joker can barely move, but that's limited to things like moving his fingers.

The attack was all a ruse.

But the ability to move a finger also gives Joker the power to make changes.

Joker modified himself to allow him to operate within the deleted time.

However, this only applies to events. The rule that Shigure deletes time has a higher activation and priority, and Joker cannot modify rules that have already taken effect.

Shigure attacked Joker relentlessly, unleashing powerful thunderous punches at him.

The deleted five minutes passed quickly, and Shigure looked at the Joker in front of him. The only thing that could counter the Joker's ability to modify the world was his own ability to nullify it.

However, the nullification effect does not provide offensive capabilities, and at best, the two can only remain locked in a stalemate.

Just as Shigure was about to rewind time on a large scale, A intervened and stopped him.

"Don't use the ability to rewind time."

"Even a minute can lead to a different outcome."

"Moreover, if you don't control the degree well, this time you will go back in time and disappear. This thing is a 'fight fire with fire' approach."

"Let me analyze his weaknesses before we fight."

"Let me see if I can develop a capability with even higher rule-based rules?"

Shi Yu nodded, then stopped time, forcibly freezing time in this world at that very second.

Shigure held thirteen strange spade cards in his hand, which then merged into a single king card.

Shigure threw the King card into his right fist, and then punched Joker out of Nankai City.

During the pause, Joker could only be relentlessly attacked by Shigure, but he could never kill him.

The two enormous monsters fought so fiercely that the earth shook, and several small hills and forests in the surrounding area were destroyed by their battle.

At this moment, A looked at the second ability that Shigure's seed had given birth to, an ability that even Shigure himself was unaware of.

A was also unaware of this ability, because even he couldn't activate its effects.

Before Joker was severely injured, he took advantage of a gap in Shigure's attack to modify the world, turning all the surrounding mountains into chains, binding Shigure, and then breaking through space to escape.

Shiyu conjured a black hole around herself, shattered the chains binding her through it, and looked around at the devastated ruins.

"This thing could infuriate at least ten Aihara Ryus."

Shigure slowly transformed back into human form, then got up and left.

……

Southern Base.

Everyone stared in deep thought at the vast area destroyed by Shigure and Joker's battle.

The reason is simple: in this truly life-or-death battle, they all discovered just how much Shigure had held back in their previous fight with him.

This isn't just releasing the water of the Pacific Ocean. It's basically releasing all the water on the entire planet.

Each of them only suffered minor injuries, which shows that Shigure had no intention of killing them at all.

"Boss, this..."

Yu Yan looked at Qi Wu, and Qi Wu took a deep breath and said.

"Da Niu, you stay at the base."

"You take charge while I'm away. I'll take Yu Yan to convene the highest-level meeting."

"We can only vigorously develop the God Hunter mechs, otherwise humans simply have no power to fight monsters of this size."

"Xiaoyu probably realized this when he was still alive, and we can only move forward based on the manuscripts he left behind."

Although Luo Yushang lost the power of the Mysterious Card after recovering, she can still use the Joker Card, and therefore remains among the Battle Hunters.

Luo Yushang looked at Qi Wudao.

"Boss Qi Wu."

"There's only one seat available in the south, why send two people?"

Qi Wu remained silent, then took out the Xie Zhi token and spoke.

"Because of this token."

"I'll take charge of this matter; the Southern Base has two votes."

"But this token doesn't mean the hunters have betrayed them..."

Before Ji Xuan could speak, Qi Wu spoke up.

"Shiyu gave this token to Liu Yu before she betrayed the Hunters, so Liu Yu is the holder of this token."

"But Liu Yu is not old enough. The base will first send someone who is closest to this girl to represent her and hold the seat of this token. She will succeed to the position after she comes of age."

"Besides Shiyu, she's closest to Yuyan, so it's perfect for her to go with me."

"I feel like this battle was a signal from the light rain."

"He has his reasons, and I respect his thoughts."

"But the fact that he still went easy on us proves that he still cherishes the past."

"He didn't kill us, and he even passed on some very important information."

"Future demons may grow in size and destructive power."

"This is quite important intelligence."

(PS: If you see this, it means there was no update on the 9th.)

I'm going to work out the plot now; it should be finished this month.
