Chapter 142: Black Market Collapse
“Card rebellion?” Luo Sheng was stunned, clearly unable to imagine such a thing happening.
After all, cards and Card Masters were deeply bound. Unless sothing truly outrageous was done, cards would only instinctively resist. But even then, resistance wouldn’t be like this, directly launching a group assault on everyone.
This simply defied common sense.
Boom!!!
Another loud explosion, a huge fireball rose up.
Then an eight-winged angel flew out from the roaring flas, golden wings, wearing a golden mask, a mature big sister type card.
But her eyes now glowed with red light, her body radiating the terrifying pressure of a gold-level power. Then ca a teor strike, a huge rock wrapped in flas descending to the ground.
Boom… Another violent tremor.
This explosion was even more powerful.
Luo Sheng felt like he was experiencing an earthquake, a mushroom cloud rising in the distance.
He swallowed hard, realizing that if he took a hit like that, he’d likely be obliterated. With his current strength, he couldn’t withstand such an attack. He could only pray for a quick death rather than being left half-paralyzed.
“Are you alright?” Wang Keai asked.
Luo Sheng shook the dust from his head. The violent explosion had kicked up clouds of dust, leaving him covered in gri.
Fortunately, the ice water protection hadn’t disappeared, blocking out most of the dust. “I’m fine. Let’s get out of here quickly, it’s not safe.”
After all, with gold-level card summons appearing out of nowhere, one could imagine how dangerous the black market had beco. They could only hope that the black market’s owner would quickly quell the current situation.
“Mm-hmm.” Wang Keai nodded.
The two then quickly headed towards the black market’s exit.
However, at this mont, the black market’s exit was suddenly crowded with people, and argunts broke out.
“What’s going on?”
“If you’re not leaving, don’t block the entrance!”
“It’s not us blocking it, we can’t get out. The exit isn’t working!”
“How is that possible?” An elf-like man stepped into the black hole, but a second later he stepped back out. “How can this be?!”
The look of disbelief on his face showed he had clearly been shocked.
“Let
try too.” A second person entered as well, but was ejected back in the sa way.
More people were shocked, realizing this ant everyone was trapped inside.
“So what do we do now?”
Wang Keai was at a loss too. The black market had never experienced anything like this before. At most, it would be symbolically raided by the Card Alliance.
It was impossible for people to be trapped inside like this.
No wonder the usually safe black market suddenly had such an incident. It hadn’t triggered the rules inside the black market to automatically teleport combatants and cards outside, nor had it triggered the self-defense system.
Luo Sheng grabbed her hand at this mont, imdiately moving away from the crowded exit. “Let’s get away from here first. The more people, the more dangerous it is.”
Based on his years of experience, this was the best approach in such dangerous situations. It was better to observe what was happening around you clearly, rather than blindly following the crowd. That could easily lead you into a trap, with no ti for regrets later.
Wang Keai nodded.
She followed him to a relatively secluded stone building nearby.
Finding a relatively safe and hidden position, they began to try to understand the situation around them.
Shortly after they left.
Suddenly, a bottle of poison was thrown into the group of Card Masters blocking the exit.
“What is this?” a Card Master shouted.
Then, his body was continuously corroded by the poison, revealing black-brown blood. Chunks of flesh fell off the corroded areas: “Ah!!!”
He imdiately used a recovery card, temporarily stopping the corrosion.
He hurriedly escaped the corrosion zone, but unfortunately, the healing effect wasn’t good. Large areas of burns still appeared.
As for other weaker Card Masters, they weren’t so lucky. Large areas were corroded, and then they perished, becoming bloody and mangled corpses. Their black masks shattered in particular, restoring their original appearances.
There were both uncles and students.
The scene was quite sickening.
“Quickly disperse, quickly disperse!” A quick-witted Card Master imdiately shouted.
Other Card Masters scattered, preventing massive casualties.
Then, people realized it was a female card who had thrown the poison. She had a voluptuous figure, erald green hair, and an exquisite face filled with cruelty. She occasionally licked her lips.
This was completely unlike how a card should behave.
Seeing this scene, a male Card Master exclaid in surprise: “Number 21 from the Grass Cafe?”
The Grass Cafe he ntioned was an establishnt in the black market’s red-light district, specifically providing card girls for Card Masters’ color services.
Every card girl inside had been specially processed, even modified by Creation Masters.
Not only were all their consciousness and thoughts erased, becoming completely empty shell cards, but their destructive power was also greatly reduced, and their obedience increased, making them sacrificial victims of the establishnt.
No matter how Card Masters abused them, they wouldn’t resist.
Now, people were surprised that these color service cards had rebelled.
And they had returned to their previous forms, even becoming more powerful.
“So, the black market’s loss of control is because of the establishnt?” A Card Master voiced this doubt.
Monts later, many Card Masters engaged in battle with these rebellious cards. Suddenly, the streets were filled with flashing lights. The rebellious cards were quickly eliminated, but so weaker Card Masters were also killed.
Unfortunately, there weren’t just these rebellious cards.
In less than 2 minutes, more rebellious cards appeared here, then began battling with those Card Masters.
The entire black market had over a dozen establishnts, each with at least 50 cards. If all the cards inside rebelled, it ant there were at least several hundred rebellious cards.
Then the black market would be no different from those otherworld contaminated areas invading the Card Master world.
In fact, it would be even more terrifying, as the otherworld couldn’t compare in terms of numbers.
Moreover, to pursue higher profits, the behind-the-scenes bosses of these establishnts often chose young girl cards of no low level, basically all above Bronze 7 or 8 stars.
Silver-level ones weren’t rare either, and each establishnt even had at least one Gold-level card as their house treasure.
Now, the young girl cards that originally provided services to Card Masters had beco their death warrants.
In a secluded building.
Luo Sheng crouched, quietly observing the situation outside.
Then he said to Wang Keai: “The situation here will get worse and worse. Those cards are no different from creatures in contaminated areas. We probably can’t stay long.”
The current situation was very unfavorable.
Although there were many Card Masters in the black market, they lacked effective organization, and their will to resist was very weak.
They all hoped others would take action while they conserved energy to escape alive. With such scattered hearts, they couldn’t mount an effective resistance.
In contrast, the rebellious cards seed to have an organized plan to annihilate the Card Masters in the black market.
Luo Sheng even witnessed their leader, a Silver-level female card, commanding other Bronze-level young girl cards, thodically dividing and surrounding Card Masters, then annihilating them one by one.
Seeing this made his brows furrow deeply.
“Doesn’t anyone manage the black market?” Wang Keai complained upon seeing this scene.
She regretted entering the black market today.
“I guess this is all deliberate, probably waiting for the Alliance envoy to leave before causing a big commotion,” Luo Sheng said.
“I think so too, but we’re the unfortunate ones,” Wang Keai complained.
After all, she had always been pampered and rarely seen such scenes.
Even during the previous ghostly realm incident, she had always been in the rear, responsible for clearing creatures, very safely. She had never seen such a massacre like now.
It made her feel deeply uneasy.
So Wang Keai said again: “Let
see if I can contact them with my phone.”
As she spoke, she opened her pink-cased phone, trying to send a ssage. A mont later, she pouted, “It’s not working. The signal is blocked. We can only communicate within the black market, unable to transmit outside.”
