This villain, please exercise some restraint.

The Hanged Man closed his eyes helplessly.

The punch that contained the power of "The World" was extremely cruel, making him feel real pain for the first time in a long time.

But...he will not die in this world before his power is exhausted.

Therefore, even if his body is severely injured at this moment, this injury is not fatal to him.

It's just pain...just pain.

It's just... is this the power from the "world"?

The young man's head hung down feebly.

During the long period of time, he rarely saw "The World" take action, but he witnessed Temperance using the power of "The World" a few times and faithfully carrying out the orders of "The World".

He once thought that such majestic purple would not be useful to him one day, but he did not expect that with the change of control, this day would come so quickly.

The new Temperance has a fledgling youthfulness and arrogance. Every time he listens to the description of the priestess, he will always think of a person who was once quite familiar... It is said that he died at the hands of his "lover". Tragic...old friend.

Maybe the word "old friend" is not used appropriately, maybe this word is not recognized by the deceased, not to mention that they have not met at all.

The deceased didn't even know the Hanged Man existed.

But he still wants to call him "old friend".

He had heard about the thunderous methods of "Lover" when he became the heir to the power of the Power Card. He was an existence that... did not take anything except "the world", not even himself, into consideration.

In a sense, the "lover"'s loyalty to the "world" may be more pious than the temperance that becomes more and more silent in infinite time, and even chooses to betray in the end.

It's just that he is too crazy, even crazy to the point of being a little...perverted...although perhaps, his original intention is for "the world".

But unfortunately, in the competition between "lover" and "temperance", the latter always occupies the right to speak in the "world".

If it weren't for the fact that "temperance" had betrayed and harmed "the world", perhaps the "lover's" turnaround would not have come so early.

Because even though he is the heir to the fringe power at the center of the storm, he can see that "Temperance" is deeply trusted by "the world".

And this trust - short of outright betrayal and real hurt, is hard to shake.

But no one expected that this only opportunity for self-destruction would be seized by "temperance".

Another punch was about to hit the Hanged Man, but this time, it hit his drooping cheek.

"The Hanged Man!"

At the critical moment, a young man with blue headphones appeared out of thin air and stood in front of him.

He opened his arms, looking worried but also a little dignified.

It was an absolutely protective gesture.

The Hanged Man looked at the back figure, and a moment of trance flashed through his eyes.

This scene was obviously very unfamiliar, but it gave him a lingering sense of familiarity.

How...how could this happen?

A punch packed with some world power quickly penetrated Lan Shi's chest, and then actually hit the Hanged Man.

The moment Lan Shi's chest was pierced, he didn't seem to understand what happened, and the expression on his face didn't even change before he fell to the ground and was shattered into pieces.

The Hanged Man felt that after two punches, his power was quickly offset. The original use of power to add destruction conditions to the "forbidden item" had already consumed part of his power. But now, after two punches, he felt that he There is not much remaining power left.

One punch, just one more punch, and he will be eliminated from this world that he is not completely familiar with.

He had thought about his way out, but he didn't expect that it would be in such a funny and ridiculous way.

The confinement ability brought by the Queen allowed him to force his body back to his position against his will like a roly-poly after he was knocked to the ground.

Now, he is like a target that can only be hit while standing still.

This is a lost desert with few people, and his opponent is the queen and "Xi" who controls part of the power of the "world".

"Xi" would not let him go, just as he and the priestess had never thought of letting "Xi" go.

And the Queen, let alone that.

But Lan Shi suddenly thought of his "chosen one" in this world, the person who suddenly appeared just now and tried to protect him.

The rules regarding the position of the chosen one of the "Hanged Man" card say that the chosen one and the successor of the power card are bound to each other. If one party's life is in danger, the other party must appear immediately and risk his life to save it.

So... was it the power of "rules" that forced Lan Shi to come here?

Just like before, he suddenly came to this world when Lan Shi was about to use his life-threatening "god-given" power.

The moment they met, this originally hidden rule was nakedly revealed to both parties and became known to both parties.

But now it seems that this temporary rescue that ignores the distance factor seems a bit too useless for Lan Shilai.

In the face of the power of the "world", this is no more than a mayfly shaking a big tree.

When the punch that finally wanted to understand him was struck again, a blue figure once again stood in front of him.

The Hanged Man wanted to smile bitterly, but he couldn't make any expression at the moment.

This violation of the rules is really harmful to Lan Shi.

This kid was originally afraid of death, but now he couldn't help but lie down at the resurrection point.

The Hanged Man was apologizing in his heart.

But the next moment, he heard Lan Shi's voice blasting in his ears.

"Cheating, right? Then I'm going to use a trick!!"

“Force quit!!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, neither Lan Shi nor the Hanged Man disappeared.

The queen's eyes widened slightly, her curled eyelashes trembled, and then she looked at the boy who missed his punch.

"Xi" put away his fists and stared at the empty front, his upper and lower teeth squeaking.

"Damn Hanged Man, cunning player...why...why do these guys who are born to be favored always tease me...why...why do they always hurt me——"

He lowered his head, and in his mind, he kept repeating the previous scene, the mixed doubles of the Priestess and the Hanged Man, the disappeared "devil"'s own way of having fun, and... the insidious person who used to make secret arrows. A player named Shi Si.

Boundless anger occupied his mind for a moment.

But soon, the "lover's" once light, cool, and seemingly uncaring words rang in his mind.

"Xi, don't let me down, let alone the world. If you can't replace him, then there is no meaning for you to exist."

"And copies that have no meaning of existence have no need to exist."

"Xi" quickly woke up from his anger, panic flashed across his eyes like a small beast, and then he forced himself to calm down.
