Chapter 336 Partner
The battle has ceased amidst the ruins.

No matter how sophisticated the armor is, it cannot protect the vulnerable human body inside, after all, it is not a prosthetic body.

This battle was a victory for Lu Mingfei.

The moonlight shining through the ruins illuminated the figures of the two people.

Caesar, on the verge of losing consciousness, gazed at the sky, surrounded by shattered pieces of mechs. His chest heaved, and the two remained locked in a stalemate for a long time.

Until he said it to Lu Mingfei.

"sorry."

The visor was already shattered. Caesar looked helplessly at the sky. In a typical battle comic, one would look at the moonlight at this point, but this was outer space, so the two of them could only look at the boundless universe.

When it came to deciding the winner, Caesar hesitated for a second.

Because of the 'judgment' made by Chu Zihang's physical body.

It was also because of Caesar's own hesitation.

This led to his defeat.

He is really tired.

He truly sought defeat.

For decades, he carried the shackles of the power he despised, all to atone for his past self, for the self who advised Lu Mingfei to embrace everything without considering the consequences, only thinking of so-called 'romance'.

If I hadn't made Lu Mingfei do that, even if it was painful, time should have been able to heal everything.

Not many worlds will be destroyed, and everything will continue as Lu Mingze expected.

The boy lost a lot, but he also gained a lot.

That's how it should be.

Equivalent exchange is the foundation of Norse mythology.

They paid such a high price simply because of Caesar's arrogance.

And then, they will continue to make the same mistakes.

Caesar should have taken responsibility for defeating Lu Mingfei, but he...
Really tired.

In Caesar's eyes, this was a betrayal of Lu Mingfei, but Lu Mingfei simply replied in Italian.

"It's okay, bro."

Rather, Lu Mingfei felt that he realized it too late.

There were so many hints.

Images from the past flashed through my mind.

—[With a flick of his wrist, silver threads flowed, and the katana in his hand spun once in the air before mimicking a 'scabbard reversal' motion, forcefully blocking the attack!]

During his first battle with the Silver Knight, he should have realized from the opponent's swordsmanship that it was Chu Zihang's signature move.

I should have known this a long time ago.

Knowing full well that Caesar would become the de facto head of the board of directors, they subconsciously ignored what would happen next.

"Boss, how's your memory?"

"Why are you saying this suddenly?"

“I don’t know if you’ve had this conversation with me in this world, so I’d be embarrassed to talk to myself. Do you remember when we were traveling in Japan and I asked you for help because I got into a lot of trouble?”

Caesar's gray eyes involuntarily drifted back to the past.

What to do next?

Why are you asking me? Isn't this the mess you caused? Besides, you were the one who said you wanted to come to Japan for tourism.

Because, Caesar, you're the smartest one among us.

You don't think that just because you said something like that I'll automatically say, "Oh, I see. I'll help you then."

However, I didn't do nothing either.

I already told you—I'm the 'group leader' of this tour group.

"."

"Boss, what should I do next?"

Lu Mingfei sat on the ruins, chuckled twice, his expression showing both relief and determination.

[Black King]

The Eye of the Black King

【Lu Mingfei】

[Lu Mingze] [Zero]

He has made up his mind to face all of this.

But he definitely couldn't do it alone.

and so--

"You'll help me, right? After all, Boss Caesar, you're the smartest one among us."

".call."

The blond man lying on the ground first felt bitter, then couldn't help but let out intermittent laughter. He tried to lift his upper body, but was too weak and lay back down.

In the end, he only managed to speak in a hoarse voice.

"Oh, I see."

"Then I'll help."

The titanium alloy framework of the Crystal Palace began to vibrate at a high frequency, like tin foil being twisted by an invisible giant hand. The once dazzling ecological roofs burst one after another, and millions of liters of circulating water turned into a weightless diamond formation, which solidified into a frozen rainstorm in the vacuum.

The observation deck was peeling away in slow motion. The holographic playing cards in the casino area were still being dealt automatically, and the round chips spun past Lu Mingfei's eyes before being sucked into the cosmic abyss by the cracks in the bulkhead the next second.

This magnificent, extravagant space castle is collapsing, with shockwaves pushing countless crystal fragments toward Earth, as if space is scattering ashes on this decadent paradise.

In the crumbling building, Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Kerry had successfully escaped from the escape pod with the help of Bartmouth and the others.

He suddenly slumped down.

Buzzing and booming—

Soon, only the powerful and wealthy who were still engrossed in the 'game', as well as Lu Mingfei and V, remained in the building.

The woman jumped over the ruins and came to Lu Mingfei's side. She looked around, but didn't ask any more questions after not seeing Caesar.

"Let's go, mission accomplished."

She remains as capable and efficient as ever.

Even Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask further questions.

Aren't you curious?

"What are you curious about?"

"What I told Caesar, uh, dragons, hybrids and stuff like that."

“I roughly understood it all. After all, I’ve taken on so many missions, so I’ve noticed something to some extent,” V said, tilting his head.

"."

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth and then closed it again, ultimately turning all his unspoken words into a sigh.

"You really are something else. I don't think I'll ever be able to beat you in my entire life, V."

"Ok?"

The woman raised an eyebrow.

"I'm just a cheater who got this far thanks to cheat codes given to me by others. You're different, you're really amazing. If I had your mindset and talent, I probably wouldn't have gotten so many bad endings."

Lu Mingfei made a self-deprecating remark.

These words come from the bottom of my heart.

If she hadn't single-handedly held off the entire Crystal Palace security system for so long, until Barthes detonated the Crystal Palace, Lu Mingfei would have had no chance of winning.

V, standing nearby, didn't comment on what was said, but simply summarized, "You're planning to leave, right?"

"Ah."

"Will you come back?"

"I hope."

"so."

Rumble.
Viewed from the cold depths of space, the Crystal Palace was no longer a dazzling diamond floating on Earth's blue velvet, but a dying space behemoth. The massive ring-shaped main structure emitted a silent wail, and glaring cracks—first as fine as a spider web, then suddenly expanding—spread across its magnificent exterior like ink drops into clear water.

It resembles a butterfly wing torn off by an invisible hurricane, slowly tumbling and spinning in a vacuum, its edges flashing with piercing electric sparks caused by stress fracture.

"Well then, just let me know if there's anything you need from me."

V put his hands on his hips, met Lu Mingfei's gaze, and smiled.

"Aren't we partners?"

"Leave the complaints for the future."
