Free Web NovelChapter 233: Magic Monster Siege Station
[After a day had passed, the station options finally popped up as the Zenith Train Crew would deal with their daily mandatory station.]
[You and Jade looked at the five station options presented by Train Pathways. Ignoring the other four, the two of you locked your eyes into a multiplayer-type station.]
[That multiplayer-type station didn’t have any resources worth noting since the only thing noteworthy it possessed was a stat-boosting resource biased towards the Spirit attribute.]
[However, it was merely at Initial Diamond-grade. It was also a liquid, and while it could be added to the food catalog, it couldn’t be grown and reproduced.]
[Because of its limitations, it was worthless to you and the Zenith Train Crew. You already possessed and consumed a way superior version of it, the Peak Mythril-grade Divine Soul Essence.]
[’It seems that guy is truly lucky. Luke Fortune is currently at Mid Platinum rank, yet he would already encounter a station with such great resources.’]
[’Although it’s useless to the Zenith Train Crew and me, I am not after the resources anyway, but the encounter with Luke. As long as I can capture him, I can use Order King to extract his SSS-rank All Stars Aligned innate talent.’]
[Thinking of this, you realized that if not for your existence, he would have become the undisputed number 1 Train Conductor among the Terra Train Conductor Batch.]
[If you had slacked off before and didn’t upgrade the train fast enough, you and Jade wouldn’t have been able to receive the Train Ability: Train Pathways as a reward from the World Will.]
[You figured that with Luke’s passive luck, where everything would align to him, if he were to possess the Train Pathways train ability and have the options to choose from a minimum of three stations, he would have long become a Diamond rank Train Conductor.]
[Yet even without that, Luke’s innate talent had already ensured that the mandatory stations he’d encounter wouldn’t screw him over. They were even crucial to his growth.]
[The mandatory stations, which were deemed to be random, were influenced by Luke’s innate talent to the point that almost every mandatory station he explored had possessed resources he badly needed.]
[If he were given three options rather than none, you figured that he would have become way stronger than he is now.]
[’Sure enough, targeting him for his innate talent is one of the best things I did in this doomsday life simulation. No matter what, I must have his innate talent!’]
[Thinking of this, you no longer hesitated and chose the multiplayer-type station where Luke Fortune and his Train Crew would end up next.]
[You didn’t care much about the resources in this station since the common resources there were around Platinum-grade, with only a minority being Diamond-grade.] freewēbnoveℓ.com
[Moreover, you figured that the veteran Train Conductors encountered in this multiplayer-type station would probably be at Platinum rank as well.]
[Luke’s passive luck would definitely not bring him in harm’s way, ensuring that even in multiplayer-type stations, his opponents would be in the same power rank as him. So, those veteran Train Conductors would all be within Platinum rank.]
[It was only due to your intervention that Luke would have no choice but to confront you and the Zenith Train Crew, who were at Late Mythril rank.]
[-Ding!]
{Station 4 has been chosen!}
{Prepare to disembark in 2 minutes and 30 seconds.}
[After receiving that notification, you no longer worried about that matter as there was no way Luke and his Train Crew could escape from you now.]
[No matter how powerful the passive effect of his innate talent was, it still couldn’t avoid the targeting of your SSS-rank Wish Maker innate talent.]
[At most, the influence his innate talent had was to reduce the chances of your wish from being granted. But since your wish had been granted, it meant that the passive luck of Luke’s All Stars Aligned couldn’t completely deal with your Wish Maker talent.]
[After a few minutes had passed, the Zenith Train soon arrived at the multiplayer-type Magic Monster Siege Station.]
[As soon as the Zenith Train arrived, Jade immediately used the Void Parking Space train ability to hide the Zenith Train in the void.]
[After all, the Zenith Train was not only higher in level than those trains owned by Platinum rank Train Conductors, but it was also filled with high-grade turrets and train modules.]
[Even just looking from the outside, the Zenith Train’s exterior already showcased just how formidable and high-level it was.]
[Jade knew that you wanted to make sure not to startle Luke and his train crew.]
[After all, who knew if Luke possessed an item that allowed him to leave a station immediately?]
[Just in case, you and Jade treated Luke as if the Zenith Train Crew were fighting against a formidable enemy. It might be overkill, but it was a small price to pay for ensuring that you could extract Luke’s All Stars Aligned innate talent.]
[As soon as the Zenith Train entered the void, you immediately used Hint Prompt to acquire information from the outside.]
[’There are six train crews that have arrived in the multiplayer-type Magic Monster Siege Station, including Luke’s Train Crew and my Zenith Train Crew.’]
[’As I’ve expected, the other four train crews all have an overall power rank of Platinum. None of them were at Diamond rank or above, ensuring that even without my intervention, Luke wouldn’t have been in any danger.’]
[’The four train crews can be ignored as I’ll leave them for Jade to deal with. If not for needing a Train Conductor like Jade to dismantle their trains for train cores, the train turrets would have already obliterated them in just under a second without any resistance.’]
[Looking back, you’ve realized just how much you have become stronger.]
[The combat power you had in the real world was only at Platinum rank, yet in your current state, you treated Platinum rank powerhouses as mere ants that could be obliterated in an instant.]
[Before, you only aimed to become a Platinum rank Train Conductor as a minimum, just so that this doomsday life simulation wouldn’t be wasted.]
[Later on, you settled for Crystal rank as your goal. But when you’ve reached it, you realize that there were still power ranks above Crystal rank that were worth pursuing.]
[In the end, you’ve decided to reach Aether rank before concluding this doomsday life simulation. Of course, after reaching it, you didn’t plan to become suicidal and recklessly end the life simulation.]
[However, you did treat it as a goal that, when achieved, it would satisfy your need for power for survival in the real world.]
[Due to that same reason, you needed Luke’s All Stars Aligned innate talent as it could guarantee that you wouldn’t be unlucky enough to die in the real world.]
[While you were using Hint Prompt on the outside world, it soon prompted you where Luke and his duo’s train was located.]
[As soon as you locked onto Luke, you didn’t attack and confront him yet, but instead, you meticulously acquired information about him and his train crew using a hint prompt.]
[After several seconds had passed by, you finally obtained enough information about Luke and his train crew. Not only did you know about the extent of their power, but their items and hidden trump cards were also laid bare and discovered by you.]
[Knowing full well of their capabilities, you were now confident that none of them possessed the means to escape from your targeting.]
[Using all presence concealing means and invisibility methods you have, you then left the Zenith Train.]
["Roar!!!"]
[As you left the Zenith Train, the roar of an Initial Diamond rank monster resounded from afar.]
[You haven’t forgotten that this station involved the trains arriving in the center of a magic medieval kingdom that had been besieged by a magic monster wave.]
[However, you never paid attention to it since the strongest among the monsters were at Mid Diamond rank. Even if you stood and let them hit you, they wouldn’t be able to penetrate through your skin or even your eyes’ defense.]
[Because of that, your attention has always been on Luke and his train crew.]
[Noticing that their attention was focused on the roaring Initial Diamond rank monster, a thought popped up in your mind, ’Now’s my chance!’]
[Without any hesitation, you decisively summoned Order King to your side and used Royal Confiscation on Luke’s SSS-rank All Stars Aligned innate talent!]
[After depriving Luke of the right to use his innate talent, you noticed that time around your surroundings had stopped.]
[You were unaffected by Jade’s time stop as you had used Bloodline Magic: Absolute Boundary to let yourself enter outside the boundary of Jade’s time stop.]
[While you were at it, you had increased the range of Jade’s time stop as well as its efficacy. Although they didn’t have the means to bypass her time stop, you still did it just to ensure none of them could absolutely escape.]
[Within the world of stopped time, you used World Order, "Order! Any enemy weaker than me has no right to display any power!"]
