Mini World Game Console-Chapter 626 - 627 It’s Time to Settle Accounts [Second Update]

Looking at this elegantly clad Moon Chanter, Ren Suo's pupils suddenly shrank, and he moved Luna behind him for protection.

He had forgotten something.

The Silver Moon Crystal also possessed the power to influence people's hearts. Now Luna had transferred all the power of the Silver Moon Crystal to her clone, which was clearly being assimilated by the Silver Moon Crystal, turning into an albino...

If the clone, after becoming a Moon Chanter, were to suddenly turn traitor and, representing the moon, decide to annihilate them, Ren Suo truly wouldn't even have tears left to cry.

"The Moon Chanter isn't yet complete because it hasn't mastered the power of the Dream. The Dark Side of the Moon is continuously consolidating all of its energies to achieve the Divine Enthronement of the Moon Chanter," the Moon Chanter said indifferently. "During the handover of divine authority, the Silver Moon Crystal momentarily spiraled out of control. Its orderly consolidation turned violent, tearing the Dream apart completely. Now, the Dream Fragments are being obliterated. If you don't leave now and find uncorrupted Dream Fragments to return, you'll never be able to leave."

"When I complete the final Divine Enthronement, my consciousness will be sealed off completely. Even if you stay here, the Silver Moon Crystal will kill you."

'I' during the handover of divine authority...?

"Ren Suo, be careful! I'm using the Silver Moon Power to protect you. You carry 'me,' find the still-uncorrupted Dream Fragments, and then leave the Dark Side of the Moon!"

No sooner had the Moon Chanter finished speaking than Ren Suo realized that he and Luna had left the interior of the Silver Moon Crystal and were treading on a distorted, bizarre oil painting. If the previous distortion of the Dark Side of the Moon was considered 3D abstraction, it now seemed they had fully entered a 2D era. They were surrounded by pitch-black chaos, with only grotesque oil paintings stretching into constantly changing paths. These paths were all shrinking, eventually turning into lines, and then vanishing!

Is this complete distortion? Turning from 3D to 2D, shrinking to 1D, and ultimately disappearing into oblivion?

Without hesitation, Ren Suo picked up Luna and began to run, frantically using "Ghostly Rapid Step" and "Mage's Death-Defying Feather." He was close to dying, so Ren Suo wasn't worried about suffering internal injuries from the frequent teleportation. As for Luna, even without her divine power, her body was still much stronger than Ren Suo's; mere teleportation was no problem for her.

She was even able to chat with ease. "Heehee, even though I'm so far from 88, I can still talk to her. And she can protect us through me."

"88?"

"Yeah, my clone. Since I gave her the Silver Moon Crystal, she can talk to me, and she can protect us through me too."

Ren Suo noticed that the darkness eroding the oil paintings was also eroding them. Fortunately, they were constantly enveloped in a faint moonlight, which prevented them from being swallowed by the darkness. This moonlight, of course, was coming from Moon Singer 88.

This darkness was naturally the handiwork of the Dark Side of the Moon. It might truly lack wisdom, as it always resorted to the same tactic: using darkness to wipe memories, sweep away trash, and so on…

"But why does she call herself 88?" Ren Suo was puzzled.

"I don't know, that's what she calls herself," Luna replied, just as clueless. "But I feel like 88 and I are one… That's good, though. She's 88, I'm Luna. At least we can tell each other apart."

Luna's clone is that strange? Giving herself a number for a name?

But 88… three months…

Come to think of it, the initial version of the clone, 'Struggle Warrior (Damaged),' was obtained about three or four months ago…

Ren Suo shook his head, dismissing these trivial details, and asked, "How do we leave?"

"Find a place that hasn't dissolved into a mess yet!" Luna said immediately.

A place that hadn't dissolved into a mess meant finding a spot that was still in a 3D state… But looking around, Ren Suo saw endless oil paintings above and below. All paths formed by the paintings swayed and shook like noodles, some even breaking and intersecting. Whichever direction he chose would be a gamble!

But this was no game! Ren Suo didn't have countless save files to ensure a perfect escape route!

His confidence in his own luck was about as much as his belief that Zhao Huo could survive Qingming!

It might have seemed Ren Suo had never really stumbled due to luck, but that was only because he instinctively avoided all game steps that relied on it. Whenever he participated in a prize draw, he had to touch Little Jiu, letting his hand 'bathe in light' before daring to try.

Is it really that seven parts are due to hard work, while three parts are determined by fate...? As Ren Suo looked at the twisting, changing world before him, he had run out of ideas.

"Miracle Full Moon" had granted him only so many miracles.

Although Ren Suo had anticipated this before arriving, seeing himself about to perish in the darkness still made him involuntarily fearful.

But fear aside, as a player, one should face death when it comes. Before dying, I'll try every possible way to live on!

As for regrets, he did have one—that he hadn't had the chance to see his family, his friends, to see Cheng Ling, Young Master Mu, Gu Yueyan...

Just as Ren Suo steeled his resolve, he suddenly saw a silver light flash through the chaos in the distance.

Luna immediately said, "It's the radiance of the moon!"

Ren Suo paused for a moment, then realized something and immediately activated "Silver Moon Crystal - Patron" to invoke "Miracle · Shadow of the Cat"!

*Miracle · Shadow of the Cat: You can rely on the Silver Moon Crystal to lock onto the position of another Silver Moon Crystal and enter the interior of the Silver Moon Crystal.*

Then Ren Suo could clearly see a Silver Moon Crystal drifting through the chaos in the distance!

Without any hesitation, Ren Suo continuously executed "Miracle · Cat Step," "Ghostly Rapid Step," and "Mage's Death-Defying Feather," moving swiftly towards the Silver Moon Crystal!

The oil paintings were vanishing faster and faster. Luna clung to Ren Suo, her voice trembling, "There's no—no path left!"

Ren Suo could see the Dream Fragment where the Silver Moon Crystal was located. That fragment floated like a bubble in the darkness. However, the oil paintings that had formed a path to it had all disappeared without a trace!

Ren Suo took a deep breath. "Don't worry."

"If there's no path left, then we won't take one!"

Speaking, Ren Suo leaped directly from the oil painting, plunging into the void where darkness and chaos reigned in all directions!

Although Ren Suo had never tried it before, now he had to attempt it—teleportation with a passenger!

"Demon King Returns: Destroying Shadows" strengthens "Within Reach, Worlds Apart - Blink"!

This was the super trump card Ren Suo had always kept hidden, reluctant to use!

Unlimited blinks within 10 seconds!

After the strengthening, the distance of each of Ren Suo's blinks doubled!

Ren Suo never dared to use this move in battle because he knew he couldn't adapt to the changes during spatial teleportation. But now, with "Miracle · Shadow of the Cat" locking onto coordinates and simply using it for travel, Ren Suo felt utterly confident!

Although the Dream Fragment containing the Silver Moon Crystal was still drifting in the darkness, drifting was nowhere near as fast as teleporting. It took Ren Suo only 8 seconds to teleport into the Dream Fragment. He landed steadily on the roof, which had not yet been twisted into a painting!

"Gu Yueyan!"

No sooner had Ren Suo spoken than Gu Yueyan, a glow emanating from her chest, flung herself at him. She embraced both him and Luna, regardless of the fact that he was still holding Luna.

Ren Suo put Luna down, looked at Gu Yueyan's face, her lower lip caught between her teeth as she fought back tears, and let out a gentle breath. "Thank you for waiting for me."

"But, weren't you supposed to leave as soon as you could?" Ren Suo still couldn't help but say. "Why did you think I hadn't left? If I had left, you..."

"I could feel it!" Gu Yueyan interrupted him, her lips pressed tightly together as she said stubbornly, "I knew you hadn't gone, so I waited for you. If you died, what would I, the one left alive, do?"

Before Ren Suo could ask, How could you feel it? a prompt suddenly appeared in his mind:

"Bond Level with Gu Yueyan has risen!"

"...Then what if you had stayed and died, and I survived? What would I do?" Ren Suo asked helplessly in return.

"My miracle is to create a protective barrier that can withstand all energy erosion," Gu Yueyan said, pointing to the bubble-like barrier outside the roof. She then patted her glowing chest and added, "And the cost is that my own Silver Moon Crystal will constantly be in a radiant state, unable to be concealed."

"Later, I saw the dreamscape shatter. But the barrier could resist the dark distortion, and you had asked me for the Silver Moon Crystal. It was clear then that you and the Silver Moon Crystal had a special connection. So I knew my miracle, and its cost, were both meant for you!"

"If the barrier couldn't hold and you hadn't returned, of course, I would have gone back. But until the barrier collapsed, I would wait for you."

Ren Suo rubbed his temples, unable to refute a single word. Or rather, unless Gu Yueyan had lost her senses, she always managed to leave Ren Suo speechless.

As for Gu Yueyan's miracle, was it an unintentional act by the Dark Side of the Moon? Or a setup from the Mini-World Game Console? Or maybe...

Ren Suo looked at Gu Yueyan, who was biting her lower lip and glaring at him aggrievedly. He gave an awkward smile and embraced her.

Or perhaps, as per the design of the Dark Side of the Moon, miracles stem from memories and yearning.

"Wait a second, there were 27 Silver Moon Crystals in total. I have 25, and 2 were stolen from me..."

"Luna, let's go back!" Ren Suo forcefully interrupted Luna's reminiscing, leading them both by the hand, as if they were kindergarten children he was helping cross the street.

He suddenly remembered something. "Luna, do you have a body in the real world?"

Luna was a character he had customized in the game; Ren Suo really didn't know if she had a real-life counterpart.

"Yes!" Luna replied, then tilted her head. "Probably... Don't forget, you just said you're willing to love us forever, be loyal to us forever, no matter what I become!"

Gu Yueyan looked at Ren Suo in surprise, then said angrily, "Mr. Suo, what did you say to Luna? I didn't hear it, you know!"

"Let~'s~talk~about~it~when~we~get~back~" Ren Suo chose to dodge all their attacks, simply closing his eyes and relaxing his mind.

The moment they arrived at this undistorted and unobliterated Dream Fragment, the way to leave naturally surfaced in their minds. This was because they all felt very sleepy.

Ren Suo took one last look at the twisted, dark expanse of the Dark Side of the Moon and fell into a deep sleep.

Then, he opened his eyes and woke up.

It was the familiar ceiling.

His body was reviving after a long absence. Ren Suo slowly sat up, his left hand suddenly grasped by a pair of gentle hands. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Mr. Suo, you're back now. You can tell us, right?" Gu Yueyan's voice came from beside him, clearly not intending to let Ren Suo off the hook.

Ren Suo managed a wry smile, lifted his head, and said, "I just told her that I am will...ing..."

Ren Suo lifted his head and saw Gu Yueyan sitting next to him.

Then he also saw a stunned Gu Yuexuan, Dong Chengling with a calm and graceful smile, Qiao Muyi with a strange grin playing on her lips, Bai Ji looking at him with quiet joy, Ren Xingmei with a skeptical gaze, and Lin Xianyu, who was cracking sunflower seeds.

Uh-oh.

A long, low moan escaped Ren Suo's throat, like a wail squeezed from the deepest folds of his soul.

Then he collapsed into Gu Yueyan's arms and fainted.
