Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 1002 - 470 Conquer or Be Conquered?_2

"Friends over there, thank you!"

"Today, I’ve brought you a special performance of ’Farewell’."

"Beyond the pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass grows lush and green—"

"Everyone, sing along!"

A line of glowing small text suddenly appeared:

"You are the ’Blast Drummer,’ the holder of ’Outfit Change BGM,’ the Chief Diva, the top-tier King."

"A synergy has emerged."

"Temporary entry ’Artist’ has been created."

"All enemies are immersed in your performance, cheering for you, going crazy for you!"

"—Whatever you say your opponent is, they will believe they are (duration: three hours)."

Shen Ye’s gaze flickered as he adjusted his singing, now simply dancing on the car roof.

Just dancing.

And then tens of thousands of living corpses started dancing along.

The void was filled with pulsing electronic music that made heads involuntarily bob.

The music was deafening!

The off-road vehicle sped up more and more, and before long, they had raced out of the zone occupied by the living corpses.

The road ahead suddenly became clear.

The off-road vehicle charged across the desolate plain.

Only after putting considerable distance between them and the living corpses did Shen Ye finally turn off the music, flipping back into the rear seat of the vehicle.

"Brother Ye, is that the power of an entry?"

Zhang Xiaoyi asked.

"Yes," Shen Ye replied.

"When will I get an actually powerful entry?" Zhang Xiaoyi said enviously.

The off-road vehicle leaped over a small hill and momentarily became airborne.

Bang!

The car landed hard, causing the girl Su Su to lose her balance and tumble into Shen Ye’s arms.

Shen Ye quickly steadied her.

Su Su opened her eyes and said with a dazed expression, "Ah, sorry, I just fell asleep."

"We almost entered combat just now... you’d better not sleep, it’s better to stay prepared for sudden situations," Zhang Xiaoyi said without turning his head.

"Yes! I’ll be more cautious from now on!" Su Su replied hastily.

She obediently sat upright and began checking her weapons and armor.

Zhang Xiaoyi withdrew his gaze from the rearview mirror.

—This girl listens to advice.

Not bad!

Meanwhile, shimmering lines of light floated before Shen Ye’s eyes:

"The Parasitic Empress has personally interacted with you."

"She has altered your entry."

"Your current ’Blood’ category entry, ’Blood Laborer,’ has been upgraded to ’Blood Governor.’

"Description: By supervising others’ work, identifying errors, and demanding corrections, you can gain strength."

"—From the one who works to the one who manages."

Shen Ye twitched the corner of his mouth.

Just from her touching him, his entry had been altered.

—Is this what I get for casually helping someone?

Still, this was within his expectations.

After all, it was unavoidable.

Exhibiting a fighting style that relies on "affinity" earlier might be a good way to conceal his true abilities.

As long as he avoided becoming a blood species, everything else was manageable.

"We’re almost there."

Zhang Xiaoyi remarked.

"Let’s assign tasks while we still have time," Nangong Sirui suggested.

"How should we divide things?" Su Su asked.

"You two newcomers, what are your specialities?" Nangong Sirui questioned.

The two exchanged a glance.

"Brother Shen Ye, you joined before me, you go first," Su Su said with a smile.

"I’m good at sword techniques, have high affinity, and can enhance teammates’ skill levels," Shen Ye stated matter-of-factly.

"Understood. And you?" Nangong Sirui turned to Su Su.

"Elemental magic attacks," Su Su replied succinctly.

"Good at exploration?" Nangong Sirui asked.

"I am," Su Su answered.

"Is Shen Ye good at exploration?" Nangong Sirui asked again.

"Not really," Shen Ye said.

Nangong Sirui’s eyes flickered, and he began to form an idea.

Shen Ye—

Seems to have a certain wariness about this girl.

If he’s cautious, there must be a reason.

Though I don’t know what that reason is yet.

"In a moment, Zhang Xiaoyi and Su Su will scout ahead, while Shen Ye and I prepare to provide support."

Nangong Sirui ordered.

Su Su puffed out her cheeks, clearly displeased.

But as a newcomer, with Nangong Sirui as the squad leader, she had no room to disobey orders.

The off-road vehicle came to a gradual halt.

All four of them got out.

Zhang Xiaoyi pressed a button on the side of the vehicle.

The off-road vehicle began to compact itself, resembling a massive rock.

Ahead.

A colossal structure had toppled onto the ground, half buried underground, the other half tilted upward.

—The building looked like it had fallen from the sky.

Shen Ye stared at the structure in a daze, memories flooding his mind as he instantly recognized its origin.

Dusk Star!

This is Dusk Star!

It used to hover above End Star, and you had to pay to stay there even for a little while.

As for this desolate plain looking so familiar at first glance, wasn’t it the very landscape you’d see when peering down at End Star from Dusk Star?

This place is where Dusk Star and End Star meet!

No wonder it’s so dangerous!

Certain areas of End Star were places where no one had ever made it out alive!

—But how did Dusk Star fall from the sky?

Shen Ye pondered silently.

"Go and check it out."

Nangong Sirui ordered once again.

Zhang Xiaoyi didn’t hesitate, quickly darting down the slope ahead.

Su Su followed closely behind.

With the two gone, only Shen Ye and Nangong Sirui remained.

Nangong Sirui jumped onto a rock, scanning the surroundings, and after a while, spoke:

"There’s no one around for now."

"I have a question for you."

"Ask," Shen Ye replied.

"You don’t seem too confident about this girl? I originally planned to pair you two."

Nangong Sirui said.

Shen Ye chuckled, "That’s not it. It’s just that my entry is too powerful; it boosts charm—I’m worried she’ll fall for me."

"Afraid of being too likable?"

"Exactly," Shen Ye said with a hint of frustration, "The entry is indeed useful, but it maxes out my affinity, which has an unfortunate effect on the opposite sex."

"Oh, I see," Nangong Sirui sighed with relief, chuckling, "That’s not a problem, it might even be advantageous during combat."

"Using a girl as a shield in moments of danger? No, I could never do that," Shen Ye replied.
