Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 196 A devastating blow
Xiaobai and Mahou instantly became wary, but Jiang Ran sensed a familiar presence and waved to them, saying, "It's someone I know."

But why would she come at this time?
Could it be that……

Under Jiang Ran's expectant gaze, Saintess Muya stepped out of the teleportation array.

She seemed surprised to see so many people on Jiang Ran's side, but still nodded to Jiang Ran with a calm expression.

However, when her gaze swept over the unremarkable little water tank in the living room, she suddenly stopped!
After seeing what was inside, Muya almost lost her composure!
She looked at Jiang Ran in surprise, hoping to find the answer to her question: "This is..."

Jiang Ran blinked: "As you can see, we're friends now."

Muya didn't know whether she accepted this explanation, but her eyes were filled with self-doubt, and she even murmured, "Perhaps I'm under some kind of illusion, otherwise how could I see that person here..."

Jiang Ran chuckled as she held up the water tank and the bubble-blowing Majik in front of Muya, then looked at her with a hint of helplessness as she took a few steps back.

"Didn't you notice anything wrong with it?"

Muya's expression was somewhat grave: "His aura is much weaker; I almost thought it was my imagination. But this body is definitely Lord Octopus. What on earth is going on?"

Jiang Ran gestured for Majik to answer the question himself.

Majik sighed and crouched on the edge of the water tank with his tentacles: "Actually, I don't know what happened either, but this 'master' you mentioned is either dead or hiding."

After hearing Majik recount his previous ordeal, Muya's face went blank for a moment.

After a long pause, she suddenly covered her face and burst into laughter: "Ha...hahaha...So that's how it is! So that's what the prophecy you left behind meant!!"

Before Jiang Ran could figure out what Mu Ya was saying, the usually composed and calm saintess suddenly grabbed her shoulders with an excited expression: "Jiang Ran, you are our savior! All the small changes have finally condensed into this huge turning point!!"

Jiang Ran: ?
"Muya, calm down. I didn't do anything. It was all because our home planet was being protected..."

Muya shook his head: "No, you don't know how important you are in this. You are the key to opening the door called hope! Now, we may really have the greatest chance of our lives to take everything back from that guy."

It was clear that even in her excitement, Muya was still quite wary of the big eyes.

But Muya's attitude slowly brought Jiang Ran back to her senses: "You know how to deal with Big Eyeball now, right?"

Muya's gaze fell on Majik, causing him to involuntarily shiver.

Majik sank to the bottom of the water instantly, helplessly wrapping himself tightly with his tentacles.

As if afraid to wake from a dream, Muya said softly, "You must be very curious as to why I'm here at this time, right? Do you have any guesses in your mind?"

Before Jiang Ran could answer, Mu Ya met her expectant gaze and affirmed, "Your home planet, using the remaining power of our home planet, destroyed its heart."

Jiang Ran's eyes widened suddenly!

She initially thought it would be some kind of scripted battle between the will of Earth and some giant eyeball, a fight that defied all logic and imagination, but she never expected it to be so fierce!!

As if guessing what Jiang Ran most wanted to know, Mu Ya spoke a little faster: "I don't know when they reached an agreement, even... they couldn't find out. "The heart is supposed to receive and transform the purest source energy, but under their manipulation, those complicated desires that shouldn't have appeared have mixed in."

"I don't know how the will of your home planet managed to transport so much gloomy stuff into the heart. In any case, this action caused the heart to suffer a near-destructive blow."

"And Paro Island seems to have suffered some kind of backlash. It's now in complete chaos, and those beings that had become puppets seem to have regained their emotions."

"I ran away in the chaos, intending to discuss our next steps with you, but I never expected that you would obtain its body... Our chances of winning might actually increase..."

Although Jiang Ran didn't know what Mu Ya was referring to, just as she had a feeling, the giant octopus was, after all, the "brother" of the big-eyed creature, and its body should be of some use.

But she never expected it to come in such a useful way.

Although Mahou Soju wanted to go along, Jiang Ran persuaded him to stay.

It's not easy to have a friend who lasts this long in this kind of apocalyptic game. Jiang Ran herself can't even guarantee her own fate on this trip, so naturally she doesn't want to bring the magical girl along.

However, Muya did not take Jiang Ran and the others directly to Paro Island, but returned to Eternal Night City.

Surprisingly, the appearance of Yongye City was completely different from what Jiang Ran had seen before.

Perhaps due to a heart injury, or perhaps related to the giant octopus, the water level in the entire area dropped by nearly half a meter!
Jiang Ran could even sense that the sea level seemed to be slowly dropping.

It's like a hole suddenly appeared in the seabed, and it's been leaking water non-stop.

Jiang Ran looked up at the pillar of light that had once pierced between Paro Island and Eternal Night City, which had become much dimmer than before.

Below, the buildings of Eternal Night City revealed their true form, which had been hidden beneath the water's surface.

Jiang Ran stared in silence as she watched the structure gradually transition from wood to stark white bones.

Muya was not surprised at all. She lowered her eyes and looked at the bones that had been soaking in the sea for so long and were still as white as snow. She said in a low voice, "They all did it voluntarily. How could they not pay the price if they wanted to win a position closest to a god?"

Even so, her eyes still held a hint of sadness.

Whether it's Eternal Night City or Blue Star, everyone wants to break free from this situation of being at the mercy of others, and they are all prepared to lose everything.

Jiang Ran looked at Majik and suddenly said, "Should we go get his heart checked?"

Muya nodded: "This was originally one of our destinations."

She looked at the octopus Majik and instructed, "In a little while, follow your instincts and absorb as much as you can. Anyway, it's currently preoccupied with your home planet and can't take care of us for the time being."

Although the heart is destroyed, the remaining energy in the heart will not dissipate in a short time.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran immediately replied: "I know this very well!"
After saying that, he couldn't wait to lead Majik into the deep sea, following the dim beam of light.

Thank you, Burning Heart~Baby! I'd like a cup of sweet tofu pudding. (heart emoji)
