[As an Arch Human, even if you didn’t have an Initial Crystal power rank, you’ll still have approximately three thousand years of lifespan. Even the ten thousand years of lifespan you mentioned were only a conservative estimate, since you haven’t really tested or checked it.]

[However, compared to you, Astraea still has a longer lifespan since she’s a Pureblood Vampire, an existence whose bloodline rank equivalence was a rank higher than an Arch Human.]

[Even without Astraea informing you, you still knew that her lifespan was approximately a million years or even more.]

[But, even knowing that, you still insisted on being the Death Papyrus user. You felt it was more convenient if you were the one writing the names since you could immediately do it as soon as you figure out the name of your target using the Hint Prompt.]

[If the Death Papyrus user is Astraea, then there’d be a delay of you sending the name to Zenith Chat Group and her writing it down on the papyrus.]

[Even without you explaining it, Astraea figured out why you wanted to become the Death Papyrus user, so she didn’t compete with you. "I agree. Also, we won’t need another Death Papyrus, right?"]

["One Death Papyrus seems to be enough."]

[You didn’t reply to Astraea yet since you were busy using Hint Prompt rapidly on the Death Papyrus, attempting to figure out the identity of the Angel of Death who created this Death Papyrus.]

[Not only that, but you were also trying to figure out the other rules of the Death Papyrus.]

[While you were using Hint Prompt, Jade noticed that you were in a daze, so she replied instead, "We won’t need a second Death Papyrus. After all, according to Rule 2, our soul will be transferred to the Angel of Death after we die."]

["I know darling will figure out a way to prevent that rule from occurring, probably using his Order King spirit avatar to remove the restricting rules of the Death Papyrus."]

["However, doing that now will be risky. We’re not certain if tampering with the Death Papyrus will cause the Angel of Death who created the Death Papyrus to notice and be alarmed by its tampering."]

["The ideal situation is if we manage to recruit an Angel of Death as our train crewmate. That way, we can have as many Death Papyruses as we want, and we can ask them to modify the created Death Papyrus not to possess any of those restricting rules."]

["But if we can’t invite an Angel of Death as a train crewmate, we can only resort to collecting Death Papyruses and then using my darling’s World Order to remove their restrictions."]

["We won’t have to worry about being attacked by those Mythril rank Angels of Death since I can just use Early Departure to leave this station world as soon as possible."]

["Anyway, it won’t matter if we leave early since our purpose of exploring this station is just to acquire a Death Papyrus."]

[Astraea and Scarlet nodded in agreement. If it were possible, then the more Death Papyrus the better. Having all Zenith Train Crewmates possessing a Death Papyrus would be ideal.]

[But due to restrictions of Rule 2, it didn’t feel right having one’s soul be transferred to the Angel of Death after death. After all, some items could store a soul and prevent its dispersion after the death of the physical body.]

[Using an item like that, one would have time to find the method for resurrection in various station worlds. And for resurrection to be possible, the soul was an important medium to ensure that the resurrected person was still the same and not a new consciousness.]

[Due to that, the downsides of becoming the Death Papyrus user were evident.]

[For those native human contestants, they wouldn’t care about it since the death of the physical body and having their mortal soul taken wouldn’t make much difference, since they couldn’t resurrect.]

[But for veteran Train Conductors, the death of the physical body was easy to deal with since there was bound to be an item or skill that could allow resurrection.]

[In the Zenith Train Crew’s case, you and Jade managed to create an Eight Circle Magic Spell that allowed resurrection. However, it was very limited and wasn’t without restrictions.]

[For the Eight Circle Magic: Resurrection spell to be possible, an intact soul was required. Moreover, that magic spell worked by fixing the physical body and restoring it to its peak state, and then stuffing the soul into it.]

[After the soul entered the repaired physical body, the magic spell would then mend the connection between the soul and the physical body, allowing resurrection to be possible.]

[Due to that method of resurrection being possible, Jade and the others naturally found the Death Papyrus’s Rule 2 to be troublesome.] 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

[Astraea nodded in agreement, "No matter what, we must find a way to cut off the connections between the Angel of Death and their created Death Papyrus."]

[Hearing Astraea’s words, Jade and Scarlet nodded in agreement.]

[Just as Astraea mentioned, you were finished using Hint Prompt on the Death Papyrus and replied, "Even if the connection between the Angel of Death and the Death Papyrus is severed, the Death Papyrus still works fine."]

["The Death Papyrus is like a materialized Inferior Death Authority. Even without its connection with the Angel of Death that created it, it will still work."]

["Just that, the mortal souls harvested from those killed using the Death Papyrus will instead be stored inside the Death Papyrus rather than be transferred to the Angel of Death."]

[After you gave that reply to Astraea, you informed Jade and the others about what you discovered: "The Late Diamond rank Angel of Death that created this Death Papyrus is a talented genius of the Angel of Death race."]

["However, his ambition isn’t just limited to this station. He planned to become a train crewmate of a powerful Train Crew with great potential and filled with geniuses like him."]

["We don’t have to collect Death Papyruses anymore. I plan to recruit him as our Zenith Train Crew’s Fourth Train Crewmate."]
