A card fell into Wu Xiaode's hand.
The Dark Incantation Six-Piece Set floated above the card, emitting a soft light.
"Ancient Dragon King Set."
"You must possess the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon King to wear this armor."
"—Put it on, and inherit the power of the Ancient Dragon King."
"Once the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon King dons the complete Battle Armor, the ultimate secret of the Ancient Era can be unlocked."
Wu Xiaode held a fishing rod in one hand and the card in the other, a smile spreading across his face.
The third layer of Gjestastav's seal should be fine now.
"Time's up," Chris reminded, "At this moment, many powerful beings are rushing to excavate the Dragon King Ruins. Gjestastav had just advanced the 'Ancient Dragon King Blood Curse' to the sub-level, breaking through the second layer of seal."
"I'll go find her!" Wu Xiaode said excitedly.
—Having finally gathered this entire set of Battle Armor, it was perfect for letting Gjestastav try it on to see what the "Power of the Ancient Dragon King" was all about.
He stored the card away, held onto his fishing rod, and flashed away.
In an instant.
He was back in the corridor.
Gjestastav's Divided Soul stayed there, yet she couldn't see him.
—"Forgotten Solemnity" was still in effect.
"I'll remind her."
Chris said, flying out from Wu Xiaode and appearing directly in the Void.
"Hey, Gjestastav, come with me, I'm taking you to your other half," Chris said.
"Did he succeed?" Gjestastav hesitated.
"He did." Chris nodded her head.
"...Alright then, but let's be quick," Gjestastav said.
"Don't worry, follow me."
Chris waved her wand and opened a portal.
Gjestastav and Wu Xiaode stepped through it and appeared in a cave.
In the cave, there was a six-year-old girl.
—It was indeed Gjestastav!
She immediately saw the floating Divided Soul.
"This is... the other me."
The little girl murmured.
Gjestastav's Divided Soul, with a complex expression, softly said, "After so many years, I am finally becoming whole."
The Divided Soul swooped down and instantly merged into the little girl.
The little girl closed her eyes and floated in mid-air as if she had entered a dream.
"The souls have been separated for too long; they might need some time to merge," Chris said.
"Should I give her the set now?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"No, she doesn't have the strength yet; you need to wait for her to fully awaken," Chris replied.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently.
An angry voice came from afar:
"You think by stealing the Dragon King Set, you can obtain that thing?"
"Return to your fate!"
"Bloodline of the Ancient Dragon King, I curse you with the Eternal Magic bound to the complete set of Battle Armor!"
"Your half soul has been isolated here, while the other half is imprisoned in the Virtual World—"
"You will never be able to break this Curse!"
As the voice faded.
A look of pain suddenly appeared on Gjestastav's face.
The Divided Soul floated out of her body, sorrowfully saying:
"It's hopeless... the curse originated from the Battle Armor; it seems my soul will never be complete."
Wu Xiaode calmly asked, "What exactly is this curse?"
"It is said that the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon King bears an ancient Curse."
Gjestastav explained:
"Whenever someone triggers the Curse, the Dragon King Battle Armor will activate the Curse rather than its power." "My soul gets split in two by that curse, with one half imprisoned and the other wandering through All Worlds, unless—"
"The bloodline that possesses the full Dragon King Set has a complete soul, only then can the Curse be broken."
Wu Xiaode shook his head and said, "If the soul has been split into two, how can wearing the full set of Battle Armor allow the bloodline to have a complete soul?"
"It's unsolvable... I should have expected this fate," Gjestastav sighed.
Wu Xiaode thought for a moment, then said, "No, we aren't necessarily defeated."
Gjestastav and Chris both looked at him.
Wu Xiaode tapped the card.
Bang!
The card immediately broke into a Dark Incantation cloak, face armor, breastplate, greaves, boots, and the Dragon King's scepter.
"Come."
Wu Xiaode commanded.
The complete set of equipment instantly landed on him, fully equipped.
The moment he put on the Battle Armor, Gjestastav's Divided Soul immediately returned to the little girl's body.
Was Gjestastav's soul beginning to merge again?
Chris asked curious:
"What's going on here?"
Wu Xiaode casually said, "That monster didn't know I also possess the Dragon King bloodline, so it must have triggered the curse the same way as last time, which means—"
"Either Gjestastav or I needed to endure the curse."
Wu Xiaode's figure shook, and he suddenly split into two people.
One was the little boy, Wu Xiaode.
The other was a purple-haired Demon Queen.
—He had indeed been struck by the curse!
The little boy was not panicked at all. He patted his Battle Armor on the chest, and the entire set instantly dispersed, reverting back into that card.
He placed the card in the hands of the unconscious Gjestastav.
The little boy said, "Now, Gjestastav, who possesses the Dragon King bloodline, has a complete soul."
"The curse-triggering monster doesn't know this. It only knows that its curse was successful."
The purple-haired Demon King said, "So with Gjestastav having a complete soul and possessing the full set of Battle Armor, the curse is broken."
Chris listened, stunned.
But then Gjestastav suddenly opened her eyes.
She looked at Wu Xiaode, a joyful smile on her face, and said softly:
"Thank you, Little Wu. You endured the curse, while I, with my complete soul, am now activating the power of the entire set of Battle Armor."
Bang!
A faint sound.
Gjestastav was gone.
In her place, a card radiating immense power appeared.
There stood Gjestastav on the card, clad in the full Ancient Dragon King's ominous set, holding the Dragon King's scepter, and looking towards Wu Xiaode.
Rows of ice crystal text appeared before Wu Xiaode's eyes:
"Gjestastav has connected with this book, and the following card information is reported:"
"You have completed the card lost in the endless eons—"
"Ancient Dragon King Gjestastav."
"The 'Substitute' Universal Card. Part Five of the Forbidden Void Deck."
"Description: This card can replace any card in any deck, exerting the original function of the replaced card."
"—This is a card from an ancient deck you've never heard of, her powers surpass all beings' imagination today."
"—Part Five of the Forbidden Void Deck."
Boom!!!
The cave was suddenly destroyed by fierce light.
In the night sky, a huge face with six eyes floated in mid-air, gazing down.
Wu Xiaode, holding a fishing rod, was not afraid at all.
—However, he had already split into two, with only the little boy holding the fishing rod, able to borrow the power of the "Ancient Sixth King."
The purple-haired Demon Queen was exposed to the monster's gaze.
"Found you,"
the face said with a sinister smile.
The purple-haired Demon Queen was about to launch "Rage," but realized she did not share the "Rage" ability.
Seeing the situation was dire—
"Little Wu, say 'release this card as 'Destruction Demon Light' in the Doomsday Deck.'
Gjestastav whispered in the ears of the purple-haired Demon Queen.
The purple-haired Demon Queen, not caring much at the moment and also curious to witness the card's power,
said, "Use Part Five of the Forbidden Void Deck, Ancient Dragon King Gjestastav."
Wu Xiaode threw out the card and quickly said:
"—It will be released as 'Destruction Demon Light' in the Doomsday Deck!"
Bang.
The card made a sound in the Void and instantly turned into nothingness.
Immediately.
Light unfolded across the sky like a blanket.
The face was illuminated by the light, immediately bursting into a high-pitched scream, and tried to escape into the Void.
However, under the light, all the Void was penetrated.
The face fell out of the Void again.
"No! Even after being fully sealed and cursed for countless years—"
"You can't possibly break the seal!"
The head roared wildly, suddenly spewing out a skyful of bone monsters, all flocking in front of it.
Taking advantage of his minions resisting the light for a moment—
The head "whooshed" back into the Void, trying to escape.
But the power of the light exceeded its expectations.
Under the light, both it and its minions were frozen in place.
One moment.
Two moments.
Three moments.
All the monsters turned to ash.
