Strange Cards

Chapter 497 The tree I planted in the year my wife died; now it stands tall and spreading like a can

Shigure took the Seven of Spades and slapped it onto the Joker.

Feeling the suction force coming from the Seven of Spades, the Joker's expression instantly turned panicked.

"What are you trying to do!"

"Bug! Stop right there!"

Shigure looked at Joker, picked up two Mortal Blades, and said.

"Is that what you think?"

"You're going to banish both of you to the Sea of ​​Oblivion?"

"Indeed, this is a pretty good method."

"The key to the Sea of ​​Oblivion is the Seven of Spades, but you no longer possess the power of the Seven of Spades."

"Throwing you two bastards over there was definitely a good choice."

Shi Yu lit another cigarette, exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, and said.

"But the source of all these ghostly things is the Joker."

"You are the source of all the strangeness. Only when you die can all the misfortune end."

"so."

"Accept your defeat properly."

With the sealing of the Seven of Spades complete, the Joker instantly transformed from its complete form into two strange Joker cards of different suits, floating silently in the air.

Shigure reached out and caught the two Joker cards before walking towards the side of Nankai Mountain.

Shi Yu looked at the moon, which was gradually sinking in the sky, and exhaled a deep breath of smoke before speaking.

"It seems this battle has been going on for quite a while."

"The moon is almost setting."

Shi Yu held two Joker cards in her hand, looking at Jiang Tian Hao Yuan from afar.

There is a particularly noticeable tree on the central island of Jiangtian Haoyuan, which grows like a large umbrella.

Shi Yu gazed at the loquat tree from afar and murmured to herself.

"Actually, if the people around me were still here..."

"I will not go down that path."

"This road is too difficult to walk, and as I am about to reach the end, my feet are covered with sand and gravel."

"My sister's death, Bai Yu's death, and Miao Miao's death all affected me deeply."

"It wasn't until later that I realized I was someone who was born for a specific purpose."

"My destiny is that of a solitary star, born under the heavenly mandate, and I possess extremely powerful fortune."

"I have gathered almost everything powerful in the world, but everything comes at a price."

"The powerful luck I possess comes from the people around me. Those whose luck I absorb will inevitably face death."

"It wasn't until later that I realized it was all predetermined."

"For everything gained, there must be something lost; and I was born to destroy you."

Shi Yu looked at the loquat tree, which had grown into a canopy, and sighed deeply.

"There is a loquat tree in the courtyard."

"I planted it the year my wife died."

"Now, it stands tall and majestic, like a canopy."

"Perhaps, if none of this had happened yet."

"I may have already succeeded as a headhunter in the South, raised Miaomiao, and may even have had one or two children with Bai Yu."

Everything was perfect.

"It's all because of you damned things that everything was ruined."

Shigure looked at the two Joker cards in his hand and inserted them into his body without hesitation.

"Ughh ...

In a wave of excruciating pain that nearly made him lose consciousness, the last two Joker cards were absorbed into Shigure's body.

At this point, all fifty-four strange cards had entered Shigure's body.

……

At this moment, Qi Nannan, who was flying with Liu Yu in the mecha, suddenly felt something hit the mecha's energy shield.

It wasn't until Qi Nannan started scanning that she discovered a huge protective shield enveloping the entire South China Sea Mountain.

"This is..."

Qi Nannan gently touched the protective shield, while Liu Yu, who had become a demon, looked at her right arm burning with demonic flames and punched it without hesitation.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the protective shield was perfectly fine; only ripples spread across it like waves.

Seeing Liu Yu preparing to throw another punch, Qi Nannan quickly stopped her.

"Xiao Jiu! Wait a minute!"

Qi Nannan grabbed Liu Yu's arm, which was burning with Asura's karmic flames, and spoke up.

"I've already started analyzing the smoke and clouds. I'll know how to open it in a minute."

"Let's wait for now."

Looking at the summit of Nanhai Mountain, Liu Yu hesitated for a moment before choosing to trust Qi Nannan.

"Please..."

"We absolutely have to make it..."

Looking at the dark mountaintop, Liu Yu felt for the first time the urge to kneel and beg the gods for help.

……

Something seems to have happened within Shigure's body, with the two Joker consciousnesses intertwined and vying for control of his body.

Shi Yu never expected that the final mishap would happen here.

Shigure looked at the two Mortal Blades and was about to draw them when his arm was suddenly restrained, and he was forcibly pulled back.

Shigure felt his mind becoming increasingly chaotic, and just as he was about to use his Regret ability, he was forcibly interrupted.

Joker seemed confident of victory once again and began to laugh wildly.

"You little bug, you didn't expect you to have overlooked this point!"

"Taking us into your body means we can use the power from the Joker in the valley to target you."

"You only have your own strength and that traitor's mentality; how could you possibly compare to us?"

"Two against three".

"Though fate has been full of twists and turns, victory has finally come into our hands."

Just as the Jokers were about to erase Shigure's consciousness, a loud voice rang out.

"Joker".

"Have you all forgotten that I'm still here?"

At that moment, a figure burning with light and flames suddenly appeared in Shiyu's chaotic consciousness and pulled Shiyu's consciousness up from the ground.

Joker seemed to realize what A was going to do and spoke up angrily.

"Traitor! You damned traitor!"

"You are clearly a ghost too, a card of mystery too, and one of us."

"Why are you helping the insects!"

A pulled Shigure up and patted the dust off his clothes.

"Don't forget, I've been following this kid from the very beginning."

"I also witnessed those tragic endings."

"This world is so beautiful that you would be willing to die for it."

"Although I can no longer enjoy the beauty of this world, I will not let you bring natural disasters and destroy this beautiful world."

Even if the price is my life.

As he spoke, A, burning with light and flame, walked forward. That terrifying power was able to directly suppress the Joker's power within Shigure's body.

Joker kept screaming, as if that would drive A away.

Those forces did indeed work, and A soon developed injuries of varying degrees.

However, A did not retreat.

Even just one step.
