In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone.

Chapter 296: Creating Chess Out of Thin Air
The hall was wrapped in a film of light, the wreckage was scattered all over the hall, and the terrifying blade beast spread its thin wings beside the stone pillar...

Wang Jixuan raised his hand and held down No. 5's arm.

Number Five was confused;
Although this is only her mental body, the touch is extremely real.

Suddenly, she was touched by Wang Jixuan and subconsciously wanted to dodge, but she suppressed this instinctive reaction.

"what?"

Wang Jixuan did not reply. His spiritual consciousness was fixed on the gray shadow beside the edge of the stone pillar. He did not turn his head to look, but was just frantically gathering the soul power of this strange soul.

Sensing something strange about Wang Jixuan, No. 5 turned his head slightly and looked to the left and right.

There was nothing behind the stone pillars;
She didn't see anything weird.

In front, the priestess with black silk stockings had already arrived at the entrance of the hall. She raised her hand and lightly touched it, but was gently pushed open by a transparent wall of light.

"The place in front is where the Lord God King was killed."

She talked to herself, looking at the scattered bones. At first, there was fear in her eyes, but this fear gradually changed. She kept muttering:

“This is very cruel for us.

“We have believed in God since we were young, and serving God is our duty. Seeing God being killed by a monster was a moment of great sorrow for me.

"But I didn't dare to stand up to protect God. I just watched God die here."

The black-silk priest's voice trembled a little.

She seemed to be squeezing her chest hard, trying to let out a scream, but in the end she just coughed twice, and her body seemed to become even weaker.

The priestess with black silk turned her head and looked over, the light in her eyes was very complicated and a little empty.

She asked Number Five, "Where should we go next? If you are also a god, can you be our guide?"

Number Five curled his lips and looked at Wang Jixuan.

She wanted to ask what to do next, but unexpectedly saw that Wang Jixuan, the alien soul, was on high alert, as if he was ready to attack at any time.

Are there really enemies?

"My..."

shhhhh!

Two invisible air blades shot out!

Wang Jixuan's alien soul grabbed No. 5's arm and jumped back suddenly!

As it danced, a strand of Number Five's hair fell in front of her and then turned into a faint light and dissipated.

The sound of breaking air appeared again, and No. 5 saw a gray shadow rushing towards him very quickly, while Wang Zheng beside him exploded with a bang, turning into a more than ten-meter-long black dragon, with a layer of shock waves bursting around him.

The gray shadow was blown away by the shock wave!

Number Five shook her bare hands slightly, and several psychic circuits appeared at the same time, from which dozens of tiny arrows that could harm the soul were shot out.

Ding Ding Ding!
Several blade limbs kept dancing wildly, all the arrows were knocked away, leaving traces in the air.

Wang Jixuan's dragon python alien soul chopped forward with its left front paw, and powerful soul power burst out, and the gray shadow that tried to move forward was knocked away again.

It staggered a few times and hit its back against the light film covering the hall, revealing its entire appearance.

It has a body the size of a normal human, a slender trunk, and thin wings that look like insect wings when spread out. There is a thick layer of conjunctiva outside its terrifying mouthparts, on which is engraved a face similar to that of a human.

This Galino was somewhat different in appearance from the one Wang Jixuan had come into contact with before.

The black-silk priest next to him suddenly shouted in panic, then fell to the ground trembling.

The blade of Galino's right hand slashed across, and the head of the black silk priest flew backwards. There was no trace of blood, and the body disappeared.

Wang Jixuan's alien soul transformed into a human form. He visualized slightly in his heart, and his soul power condensed into a long sword.

Number Five's short hair grew longer, and her face returned to its original appearance, which also meant that she was going to "go all out". Her pretty face, whose facial features had not changed much, now had a more sacred feeling, and her skin was even more white and graceful.

"The Night Spiritualist... Black Storm..."

The garino made a piercing noise.

Wang Jixuan smiled casually: "Old friend?"

Garino looked thoughtful, then slowly shook his head. Although his voice was harsh, his words were coherent:
"All our memories are shared, but I am not a companion as I have been in previous encounters with you. You are an enemy, or so I see it."

Number Five snorted coldly: "So much nonsense."

She raised and opened her left hand, and a beam of silver light rushed forward.

Garino swung his blade forward and chopped vertically. The silver light seemed to become real and was cut directly in half by it.

These moves may seem fancy, but in fact, they are just a clash of "soul power".

Garino was about to fight back, but Wang Jixuan suddenly raised his hand.

"Stop! We're here to negotiate!"

As expected, Garino stopped.

Number Five also looked at Wang Jixuan in confusion, not understanding what he wanted to talk about.

Taoist Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

Number Five didn't notice it, but Wang Jixuan sensed it... How should I put it, this is a very complicated thing.

To put it simply, it is:
This palace is the core of the entire illusion, and the illusion is gradually constructed from here outwards;
This kalino is part of this palace;

The entire illusion, or this city, is the soul of the pillar blade beast.

In other words, this Garino represents the soul of the Pillar Blade Beast.

This soul power is so huge that even if Wang Jixuan and No. 5 were combined, they would still find it difficult to push down a pillar here. If they continue to fight with this Galino, they will not be able to kill it at all and will be exhausted to death by it.

Although it was just an alien soul and a mental entity, the Taoist priest had no interest in this kind of battle that was bound to be lost.

"Black Storm."

Garino looked thoughtful, and his stilt-like lower limbs slowly paced and spoke slowly:

"You are an envoy of a high-level civilization, and you don't have to participate in our war with spiritual practitioners.

“Now that you’re involved in this, you’ve become our enemy.

“Blade Beasts are not afraid of any enemy. Blade Beasts can evolve forever. Even in a high-level world, we will keep fighting.

"This is our destiny."

Number Five's pretty face was cold, and she didn't say a word.

Wang Jixuan smiled and said, "First, you are sitting in a well and looking at the sky. Second, I am only standing on the side of humans here, so I am hostile to you, not on the side of spiritual practitioners. This is my partner."

"Dark Night Spiritual Cultivator," Garino said calmly, "Although I know clearly that you are not the culprit who inflicted endless suffering and enslavement on our race, you, as fellow spiritualists, must also be destroyed by us because of the overlap of your power systems."

Number Five snorted coldly: "It's probably too early to say who will destroy whom now."

Taoist Wang took over the topic decisively:
“I have a few things I want to ask you.

“I probably already know the situation here.

“This city is the soul of the Pillar Blade Beast, which is different from the soul of an ordinary creature. The technology used here is called the Heavenly Curtain of Bliss, which originated from the predecessor civilization of the spiritual practitioners.

"And you, though you may seem like a Garino, are actually... a part of the soul of a pillar blade beast? The part that has a similar logical thinking method to humans?"

Garino's expression was slightly surprised.

He nodded slowly: "I didn't expect that you already knew all our secrets."

“Not all of them, actually,” Wang Jixuan said calmly, “So, unless we have the ability to directly destroy this Bliss Sky Curtain, we won’t be able to outlast you here.”

This is telling Number Five.

Garino asked, "You just mentioned negotiation, then give us the negotiation conditions. If you want us to spare the humans and spiritual practitioners on this planet, then there is no need to mention it."

"Indeed, you have the advantage now." Wang Jixuan began to brew demonic energy with his hands hidden behind his back.

The dragon python soul is now half Buddha and half demon, so it is natural for it to create some demonic energy.

In negotiations, if you don’t have bargaining chips, then just create one for yourself out of thin air.

"I think you should know about the madness of that spiritual practitioner, old Sophie."

"Well, Sophie, a fire spiritualist, is cowardly and full of lies. He has fallen into madness for some unknown reason, which gives us a good opportunity," Galino nodded slowly, "My companion woke me up in advance in order to destroy his core circuit."

"His core circuit is in my hands now."

"I've had sensations before."

"Then I can tell you today why he went crazy."

Wang Jixuan smiled and stretched out his right hand from behind his back, with a ball of dark flame on it.

Galino sensed it carefully, then his expression changed.

It feels hugely threatened.

It had felt this kind of threat before, and it seemed to be able to corrode the Pillar Blade Beast's huge soul and body, like a constantly replicating virus. Once it was infected, it would grow rapidly.

However, the Pillar Blade Beasts do not have the psychic circuits to restrain such things.

"Is this your poison?"

"It's just an aura that comes from practice. I have as much as you want."

Taoist Wang's smile became more relaxed. He clasped his right hand and let the flames dissipate.

"My power system is different from yours, and it just so happens that this kind of small problem that is easily solved on our side is your nightmare.

“We can promise that as long as the negotiations go smoothly, I will not release this thing on the Pillar Blade Beast.

“A giant beast out of control is not a good thing for humans.

"But if this giant beast attacks recklessly, the damage to the human world will definitely be greater than the indiscriminate killing of humans and blade beasts by the giant beast after it loses control."

The garino fell silent.

It suddenly turned around, and its body merged into the light film covering the hall. In front of Wang Jixuan and No. 5, it walked to the corner of the hall, found a gorgeous cloak and put it on itself.

Its blade limbs were hidden behind its cloak.

Then, it strolled out, looked at Taoist Wang, and said seriously:
"You now have the leverage to negotiate with me, practitioner."

Wang Jixuan snapped his fingers.

A soul power spread out and condensed into a long table and three chairs.

This unintentional display of ability had no effect on Galino, but No. 5 was obviously surprised.

The Taoist priest raised his hand and said, "Then sit down and talk."

Garino nodded slowly, adjusted his body shape, and sat opposite the two men wrapped in his cloak.

At this time, Galino looked very similar to a human because the facial features on his conjunctiva were too realistic.

To be precise, it is similar to a spiritual practitioner.

Those figures gathered outside the square in front of the palace and did not dare to get closer.

They are just some ornaments, the decorations that this city should have, and their functions are equivalent to street lights or green plants.

"Why do you know about Paradise?"

Galino asked doubtfully:
"The spiritual practitioners who knew this secret should have been killed by us."

Taoist Wang smiled and said, "How about the same model as last time? You and I will ask and answer, and communicate with each other through our spiritual thoughts. This way we can determine whether it is a lie or not."

"Yes, we enjoy this exchange of information."

"But I won't tell you about the Heavenly Dao."

“I’m not interested in the laws of nature. We are slightly different as individuals, and this is a way to protect our self-perception.”

Number Five simply reverted to her status as a yellow-haired loli.

She frowned as she looked at Wang Jixuan and Jialinuo who had already started talking;
How does she feel...

"Wang Zheng seemed happier when he was talking to Blade Beast than when he was negotiating with me?"

……

Fu Jian looked at the countdown in front of him.

Wang Jixuan had been struggling for more than two hours, and the various indexes of the Pillar Blade Beast had begun to rise steadily. About an hour and a half later, they would need to launch a second powerful attack.

Fu Jian turned his head and looked at Wang Jixuan's real body.

He still had a smile on his face, and everything seemed to be going on calmly.

However, there are also some not-so-good news now, all related to the City of Psychic Energy. Fu Jian is hesitating whether to find a way to share it with Wang Jixuan.

These not-so-good news are not a big deal in themselves.

Black Shell stopped the psychics who tried to approach the battlefield, found out their identities, and discovered their true strength.

There are more than two thousand of them, most of them are C-level psychics, and there are only more than one hundred psychics of B-level and above. The leader is the leader of the Spirit Management Association's Destruction Group named "Hei Ming", an SS-level psychic who has appeared in public before and is also one of the dozen known SS-level psychics.

Hei Ming is a student of the Six Elders and is considered a die-hard fan of the Six Elders. He is also one of the main fighting forces within the Psychic City where the ruling faction intimidates the natural faction.

——There are also several SS-level psychics on the Natural Faction side.

The point is, although Hei Ming is the leader of the Destruction Group of the Spirit Management Council, he has never taken action publicly and has no guilt.

Hei Ming brought with him more than a dozen S-level psychics, all of whom were clean fighters who lived in seclusion in the Psychic Capital.

They can't take them down politically.

This time, the City of Psychic Energy took an even more humble approach.

The six elders made a public statement, emphasizing that the Psychic Capital is a part of human society and that everyone has a responsibility to fight against the Pillar Blade Beasts... and they said a lot of things.

Fu Jian felt that the Sixth Elder suddenly changed his attitude 180 degrees.

Behind this, it is most likely that spiritual practitioners number one, two, and three have changed their attitudes.

After the Six Elders made their public statement, the three commanders-in-chief of Space Fortress also issued an initiative, with the top priority being to control the Sixth Pillar, and so on.

Fu Jian also has a way to deal with it.

He arranged this group of psychics to go to the front battlefield and did not let them get close to the Pillar Blade Beasts.

But now, the leader of the Destruction Corps, Hei Ming, with a dozen S-class psychics, is trying to approach this side.

They also shamelessly record videos and even broadcast them live to show the world the heroic battles between Psychics and Pillar Saber Beasts.

Fu Jian wanted to bombard them with a single blow;
Unfortunately, he is the commander and needs to take the overall situation into consideration and uphold the greater good so that he can continue to unite humanity.

"The commander is indeed uncomfortable."

Fu Jian didn't know how he thought of this and couldn't help laughing.

He no longer looked at Wang Jixuan, turned his head and continued to pay attention to the battlefield. At this time, a voice entered Fu Jian's mind. Naturally, it was Wang Jixuan asking questions.

"Old Master, cough...

“First of all, I will definitely stand on the side of humans and fight the blade beasts to the end.

“Secondly, I’m definitely not afraid of the Pillar Blade Beasts, nor do I want to cooperate with them.

"I just want to ask... I have a way to trick this pillar blade beast into attacking the Psychic City. Do you want me to do it this way?"
