Purgatory Artist
Chapter 577: Head-on Confrontation!

Chapter 577: Head-on Confrontation!

The ark flew straight up through the space-time tunnel.

The black hands filled the entire tunnel, following closely behind them, getting closer and closer to the ark.

「"How much longer!?"」 Mother Gaia asked in annoyance.

"Soon!

Don’t rush me "God calmly replied.

「"Why not!? If they catch up, we’ll all die! There’ll be no turning back! "」Mother Gaia declared.

"I’ll buy a bit more time" Liu Ping said.

He carefully thought about it just now.

Ever since the old God of Purgatory joined the Nightmare faction and betrayed the Cruel Matriarch Media — — -

I woke up from the graveyard, joined Lady Agony, passed the Card User test and drew the Clown card — — -

There wasn’t a lot of time between the two.

I just need to buy a bit more time!

Liu Ping’s gaze returned to the black hands that were madly chasing after him.

"Their target is me ..."

"If that’s the case, what will happen if they catch me?"

"They’ll bring me back to be eaten by the Lord of Nightmares — —"

Liu Ping muttered to himself, then suddenly reached his hand out and manifested another projection of himself.

He walked around his projection once and said: "You should act like the real me, possessing the touch of a human, the energy waves of a human, everything about a human. That way, they’ll think they’ve caught me."

The fake him nodded, his body slowly solidified and landed on the ground like a real person.

"Go, fight them, let them catch you."

"Got it."

The fake Liu Ping leapt out from the ark and faced the black hands head-on.

The black hands let go of their weapons and tried to grab Liu Ping.

The fake Liu Ping opened his arms and smiled, allowing the black hands to grab onto him.

The thousands of black hands stopped.

— — -They’ve completed their spell’s mission and caught their target.

And now — — -

The black hands retreated like the tide, disappearing into the space-time tunnel.

「"Will this work?"」 Mother Gaia asked.

"I can only deceive it once, and not for long" Liu Ping replied.

The ark began to tremble intensely.

It sped up again, to the point that Liu Ping and Mother Gaia could feel that it was flying at full speed.

The space-time scenery around them quickly receded like blurred lines.

The only thing that was still following the ark were the Tribulation Lightning that flickered with destructive light.

— — This lightning tribulation was actually so long!

It was said that the increase in the Return To Origin Realm was very large. Now, one could already see the clues from the tribulation lightning.

Liu Ping couldn’t help but sigh as he sent the tribulation lightning flying.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Time continued to pass.

God’s voice sounded again, "Liu Ping, we have reached the moment when you draw that card."

"Alright."

Liu Ping stretched out his hand and pulled gently in the air —

A colorful card that looked like an oil painting appeared in his hand. On it was a drawing of a laughing clown.

Lines of burning text appeared in the void of space:

[You have received the final reward —[

[Card: The Light of Eternal Hope, also known as’ The Clown ’]

[Special attention!]

[This card has been through too much time, its original appearance has already become one with the clown.]

[Although you’ve regained it, it’s still manifested as a Clown Card]

[It is the work of both you and God.]

[When you use this card, the divine power will combine with your own characteristics and activate your ’creation’, manifesting all unimaginable, unfathomable, and deceptive divine powers]

[This is something that has never happened before, so there are no records of it in any of the settings, not to mention any defensive measures against it]

[All of this power is manifested as this Clown Card for you to wield]

[Usage rules:]

[Whenever something pleases you, you may use this card once]

[— — its entire nature originates from you]

The lines of text flashed and disappeared.

God’s voice sounded again: "From the moment we arrived until the distant future, that spell will continue to pursue us. Liu Ping, do you have any objections?"

Liu Ping put the card away and clapped his hands: "Then let’s fight it once"

「"Fight?"」God and Mother Gaia’s voices sounded at the same time.

"Do you think that with our combined strength, we can win?" God asked.

"Not just you and me, but also all the Professions created by humanity," Liu Ping replied.

「"Aren’t those Professions designed by humans?"」 Mother Gaia asked in surprise.

Liu Ping smiled deeply and replied:

"Designed? No, humanity’s creativity is limitless, the main job of those Designers is to weaken — — weaken every Profession, research every human’s power, and make it easier for the nightmare monsters to devour humanity."

"Then from now on, the ones to fight against the nightmares will be you, me, and the power of humanity," God corrected.

"There is still one more existence."

"Who?"

"Her"

"Who is she?"

"A Saint Spirit, she is the hope of this era — — - with God, me, living beings, and the Saint Spirit working together, the technique we perform will definitely not appear in the settings."

Saying so, Liu Ping abruptly turned towards the back of the ark.

Only to see the numerous black hands had appeared again, following the space-time tunnel to chase after Noah’s ark.

"I’ll leave the battle to you, I need to find a safe parallel world right away!"

God declared.

Noah’s Ark immediately changed direction and shuttled through the endless fog.

Liu Ping swung his fist and sent a bolt of lightning flying. Before the black hands could catch up, he raised his hand and threw out the clown card that looked like oil paint.

Bam!

The Card let out a soft noise and turned into a fog that enveloped Liu Ping’s body.

He passed through the fog — — -

But this time, his attire didn’t change at all.

Lines of burning text appeared in the void of space:

[This Card has been awakened]

[No need for any unnecessary attire, you are the King of Deception — —]

[All of this is for the joy of living beings]

Liu Ping quickly walked to the back of the ark and spoke in a low voice: "Andrea"

"I’ve prepared for you," Andrea replied.

Dozens of weapons passed through the fog and hovered in the void of space, waiting for Liu Ping to use them.

Liu Ping’s gaze moved back and forth between these weapons — — -

He suddenly chuckled.

His laughter became louder and louder, as if he had never felt so carefree before.

Countless long black hands attacked — — — — — -

Liu Ping casually grabbed a Blade and laughed while shaking his head: "I’ve learned all kinds of martial arts in this world, unfortunately, you have the settings, so I’ve failed countless times."

"But now ..."

"The settings are useless now"

Lines of burning text silently appeared:

[The upcoming battle has pleased you, you’ll be able to utilize the Clown’s power to sanctify your techniques and make them even more unpredictable]

Liu Ping stood still and assumed a stance, holding the edge of the Blade with two fingers, then pointed the tip of the Blade at the approaching black hands — — -

"It’s beginning"

He muttered.

As soon as he said that, the Blade began to tremble.

All the black hands reached Liu Ping and held him down without moving.

The Blade rose!

A holy Blade phantom that filled the entire Space-Time tunnel shot out from the Blade, enveloped all the black hands, and instantly pierced through the void of space.

On the other side.

The Nightmare Manor world.

The Nightmare King hovered in the air with its arms crossed, watching as the Manor Lord continuously performed his spells to rebuild the manor.

「 How boring, did you not catch that guy yet? 」

The Nightmare King said with waning interest.

But as it recalled the fake person that was caught, it became excited again.

That fruit is still alive!

What exactly did he do to fool me? — — -as long as I consume him, I’ll be able to obtain this power!

The Nightmare King licked the corner of his lips, almost unable to control his lust.

If I chase after him myself — — -

Perhaps I’ve already eaten the flesh of that fruit!

While it was hesitating, the void of space suddenly shifted and parted to the sides.

「 Huh? 」

The Nightmare King looked up in surprise.

A budding black rose lightly floated down and hovered in front of it.

「 This is — — my Causality technique? Why was it condensed into a flower? 」 the Nightmare King was shocked.

It couldn’t help but reach its hand out to receive the flower.

The flower bud suddenly began to tremble.

Poof!

The entire flower bud bloomed, displaying a beautiful and eerie scene of blooming.

A voice resounded from inside the flower bud:

" Keep in mind, this is only a joke, if you’re still not satisfied, come after me, I’ll personally send you on your way "

As soon as it said that.

The black rose had completely turned into a holy white color.

A dangerous presence began to exude from the tip of the flower, causing the Nightmare King to feel a sense of familiarity.

This is — — -

This seems to have happened not too long ago, it’s — — -

"Ah, this again."

The Nightmare King muttered.

At the very next moment.

The blazing white light quickly spread out and enveloped everything. Even the manor that had just taken shape was completely absorbed by it and was completely destroyed.

BOOM!!!

The resounding explosion once again echoed in the void of space.
