Chapter 357: Ch 357 : Su Yuan’s trump card
Su Yuan looked at Neuvillette, whose chest had been pierced by "Cloud Retainer," and wondered:
Why isn’t it raining? Why hasn’t Neuvillette entered his Eerie state?
With how well Neuvillette controls his emotions, he should’ve been able to cry whenever he wanted...
Could it be... that Neuvillette’s tears can only make it rain in Fontaine?
After all... Neuvillette is the Hydro Dragon Sovereign of Fontaine...
"Su Yuan, what did you mean by what you just said?"
After taking care of Neuvillette, Cloud Retainer furrowed her brow slightly, turned toward Su Yuan and Dottore, and asked:
"Su Yuan, you said this Dottore isn’t your enemy?"
"Are you saying that in just that short moment inside the Serenitea Pot, you all managed to reconcile and become good friends?"
"Or do you mean that only this Dottore isn’t your enemy, while the other versions of him still are?"
Hearing Cloud Retainer’s words, Su Yuan started to feel a bit nervous...
That was just something I blurted out instinctively... and she managed to infer so much from it...
"But whatever agreement you’ve made, or whether you’ve turned this Dottore to your side, I really don’t care—because none of that has anything to do with me."
Cloud Retainer continued, "Just hand over the blueprints for the Time Mechanism—then get lost."
"Big Brother Su Yuan," said Young-tore quietly,
"Neuvillette really showed up at the worst possible moment..."
Young-Tore continued speaking to Su Yuan in a low voice:
"We were just about to walk away clean... and then he shows up and basically throws his life away for nothing, adding to the casualty count..."
"I’ll hand the fake blueprint over to Cloud Retainer now—then we’ll get out of here..."
As he spoke, Young-Tore pulled out a rolled-up set of schematics from his pocket and handed it to Cloud Retainer.
"Cloud Retainer, this is the blueprint for the Time Mechanism..."
"Now that it’s in your hands, our deal is complete. I’ll be taking Su Yuan and Furina with me—we’ll be on our way..."
"Cloud Retainer, that blueprint is fake."
Suddenly, Su Yuan interrupted coldly:
"Dottore is lying to you. There’s no such thing as a Time Mechanism in this world!"
"Using some so-called ’Time Mechanism’ to achieve time reversal—how could something like that possibly exist?!"
Hearing Su Yuan’s shocking words, Young-Tore stared at him in disbelief, his face full of confusion as he spoke in a low voice:
"Big Brother Su Yuan... what are you doing???"
"We were just about to get away safely—why would you say that and tell Cloud Retainer everything?!"
Cloud Retainer unrolled the blueprint, glanced at it, then spoke:
"So it really is fake... or rather, should I say, as expected, it’s fake?"
"This blueprint is extremely complex. Even if I wanted to build and verify it, it would take quite a long time..."
"Su Yuan, why would you do this?"
"Did you really think that by telling me the blueprint is a fake, I’d be so grateful for the truth that I’d kill Dottore... then let you live as thanks?"
Su Yuan thought to himself:
No, quite the opposite...
Telling Cloud Retainer the truth about the Time Mechanism was to make her angry enough to kill me—and by doing so, I’ll trigger a death-based rewind!
After all that’s already been lost... not rewinding is no longer an option!
"Cloud Retainer, don’t listen to Su Yuan—he’s messing with you!"
Young-Tore said hastily.
Young-Tore tried to explain to Cloud Retainer, but she didn’t give him the chance—in an instant, she condensed the Eerie power in her hand into a blade and cleaved Dottore clean in half at the waist!
"So it’s true... you’re not the real Dottore. You didn’t even try to defend yourself with Eerie power."
Cloud Retainer stared coldly at the halved Young-Tore, her voice icy:
"Who would’ve thought—even that cautious and calculating Dottore would have a day where he stumbles and falls into a ditch..."
She then turned to look at Su Yuan, speaking slowly:
"Since the Time Mechanism blueprint is a fake, then you’ll have to compensate me in some other way."
"Su Yuan, I’ll let you choose."
"After all, you are a Descender from beyond this world, with a rather special physique..."
"Shall I fuse you into a mechanical construct... or use one of my cooking automatons to turn you into a delicious meal for me and Granny Ping to enjoy?"
Su Yuan didn’t answer Cloud Retainer’s question.
Instead, he instantly gathered Geo elemental power in his hand and launched an attack straight at her!
If he had the choice, Su Yuan wouldn’t have picked either of those options—he’d rather die fighting!
But no matter what, as long as it could trigger death-based rewind, that was enough!
Young-tore, who had just been cut in half at the waist, hadn’t died yet.
He looked at Su Yuan’s actions in utter confusion...
They had clearly been on the verge of escaping Mt. Aocang together—so why had Su Yuan suddenly provoked Cloud Retainer like that?
Why go and enrage her, now of all times?
And now he was even acting all righteous and confident, boldly launching an attack against Cloud Retainer?
Could it be that Su Yuan still had some trump card hidden up his sleeve this whole time?
But in the next moment, Young-tore became even more confused at what he was seeing...
Su Yuan wasn’t Cloud Retainer’s match at all—in a single exchange, she cut him down on the spot.
Young-tore couldn’t make sense of it—was this Su Yuan’s loyalty to his friends, or was he just recklessly throwing his life away?
But very soon, Young-tore’s eyes widened in shock—he realized Su Yuan’s body had become incorporeal, flickering like an illusion...
By the time Young-tore could react again, Cloud Retainer’s head had already been severed by Su Yuan.
Her eyes were filled with terror and disbelief.
Cloud Retainer couldn’t understand—she had clearly landed a fatal blow on Su Yuan just now, so why didn’t he die on the spot?
And what was with Su Yuan’s speed just now?
She hadn’t seen anything clearly at all.
By the time she reacted... her head was already on the ground.
At this moment, both Cloud Retainer and Young-Tore were utterly shocked by what had just happened.
Was this... Su Yuan’s trump card?
Su Yuan himself was in a bit of a dazed state...
Even he hadn’t fully processed what had just occurred.
At the very moment he received that fatal strike, Su Yuan clearly felt something change within his body—something that nullified or negated the mortal damage.
Was this the ability hinted at in his palm—the one described as similar to the Famous sword "Siming"?
This is... this is way too IMBA, isn’t it???
