Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

Sometimes, Ruri would also have the despicable wish that she was the only one in the world who could see how good Saki was.

In this way, she can keep this treasure all to herself.

But looking at that face now, Liuli knew that her despicable selfish desires had ultimately failed.

Not only is Sakizawa handsome, but he's also the kind of guy who'd attract a lot of attention...

Looking at the dashing and imposing Saki on stage, he murmured, "Really?" and then immediately looked away.

I dare not look any longer!

One more look and it'll explode!

However, after only two seconds, the girl couldn't help but secretly look back.

Take one look, then look away, then take another look...

Of the four, only Huomu didn't pay much attention to Qiji's face, but was instead preoccupied with the latter's newly awakened echo.

"Black and white, red and gold, the illusory image of the clock face... What lineage does Saki's echo belong to?"

Huo Mu was incredibly curious!

……

At this moment, the face that I have sculpted inch by inch over nine years with the motto "I will become the perfect me" is revealed to the entire city without reservation.

Almost everyone was immediately captivated, marveling at the face, which was so perfect it was almost divine!

Only Xi Wang felt his hands and feet turn ice cold the moment he saw that face.

Her vision went black, tears welled up uncontrollably, and she couldn't breathe.

She never expected that what her brother wanted her to forgive was this very matter.

But how can she forgive him?

Unforgivable.

Of course, she was referring to herself.

She can't forgive herself!

She had actually caused her brother to suffer because of her...

"Lingxing, you knew all along, didn't you?"

Thinking of something, Xi Wang's eyes blurred with tears, and she suddenly glared at the older sister who was sitting on her lap, forgetting even the honorifics.

"It was Xiao Ji who insisted..." Faced with Xi Wang's gaze, Ling Xing shrank her shoulders for a moment, feeling a little guilty.

"He wanted you, and you agreed?! How could you agree! You shouldn't have agreed! You can't agree! You—"

Xi Wang lost control of her emotions for a moment, but before she could finish speaking, she realized that she had no right to blame others, so she could only cover her face and cry.

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, don't cry. It's my fault. Have some popcorn and calm down."

"I will not eat!"

“You know, once Xiao Ji makes up her mind, no one can stop her… and back then, if you hadn’t done it, you would have died…”

"Then let me die! Just let me die... Why use my brother's life..."

It turns out that the claim of conquering "echo erosion syndrome" was just a lie.

An incurable disease is simply a transfer from one person to another.

But brother, why did you do that?

Why exactly...?

All of this is clearly not worth it.

……

The echoes of awakening in the desolate landscape emerge from the "time of non-existence."

In that instant, a system notification sounded in his mind—

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have awakened the Echo of Miracles!]

[Your custom-made six-star character card "Miracle" is now complete!]

???

Saki was stunned.

Six-star card?

Is there such a good thing?

Even though he was busy, he also focused his gaze on the system interface.

A card was floating in the center of the system interface.

It was a card that was heavier than a five-star card, made of a material somewhere between crystal and metal, with dark silver trim around the edges.

Upon closer inspection, the edging is actually flowing—

Like molten silver slowly flowing along the edge of the card, shimmering with a faint light.

Qi Ji focused his consciousness on it, and the card information immediately unfolded:

[Six-Star Card - Miracle]

Tags: King of Extreme Evil, King of Destruction, King of Lies.

"???"

However, after just one glance, Saki was completely distraught.

No, wait!

Who are you talking about?

Extreme evil, world destruction—

Do these two words have even the slightest connection to me?

You call this tailor-made?!

Qi Ji took a deep breath, steadied himself, and continued reading.

Card description: He is the destroyer of everything; anything that touches him will be destroyed. Even alone, he will fight against the entire world.

"???"

Saki was already finding it hard to keep up while looking at the card labels.

After reading the card description, his vision went completely black.

Alone, fighting against the whole world?

me?

Are you sure?

If you're going to do a proper job with this custom-made product, then you better do it right!

Why are you making him sound like a major villain?

Isn't that a bit too far-fetched?

This character card has two main functions—

【Function 1: Using this character card, you can immediately activate the "End of Days" armor.】

[Whoever dons this armor forges a pact of destruction with all things! It will inflict destruction with your hands and witness its end with your eyes! (Keywords: out of control! rampage! destruction of everything! relentless!)]

[Function Two: When you log into the Sea of ​​Consciousness using your physical body, all damage suffered by the Sea of ​​Consciousness will be absorbed by this card.]

The card has a self-repair function; the repair time depends on the extent of the damage.

Saki stared at the note on the card for a long time, then silently flipped the card over.

Out of control, rampaging, destroying everything, even himself...

This thing looks unusable!

He even wanted to ask the system what its true intentions were.

Is it because he's too popular?

Or do you think he's too old?

In short, for Qi Ji, this six-star card can probably only be used as a "health bar" and "resurrection coin" in the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

Anyway, it's free.

With that in mind, Qi Ji stopped complaining.

After muttering a few complaints to himself, Saki put the matter out of his mind for the time being.

Because at this moment, back in the ring, he still has one more thing to do.

That is, to win.

……

Upon seeing Saki's return from the "Time of No Return," Shibel's delicate eyebrows furrowed in disbelief.

"How...did you do that?"

Just as Saki was about to speak, Sybil interrupted, "You're still not going to tell me, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Ji was about to curl the corners of his mouth, revealing the sly smile he often hid behind his mask.

But then, he suddenly realized that he was no longer wearing a mask!

So he quickly composed himself and forced a nonchalant demeanor.

That said, sometimes it can be quite inconvenient to not have a mask.

For example, right now, Saki could clearly feel that Sybel's gaze had wandered over his face several times in a row.

"Have you seen enough?"

"It looks great." Hibel wasn't embarrassed at all; on the contrary, she praised it generously.

Then, having seen enough, Sibel composed herself and her expression turned serious:

"Then, let the battle continue."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hibel immediately used her consciousness to activate [Time of No Existence], attempting to throw Saki into the exile once again.

However, the moment she was stirred, she froze.

Hibel discovered that in her "time of non-existence," her interior had already been shattered and riddled with holes.

Almost simultaneously, the time vortex she had painstakingly constructed collapsed silently before her eyes.

"This is...your echo? Why, just a moment ago..."

Looking at Saki, Hibel felt that this excessively handsome young man was shrouded in countless mysteries.

"Are you implying that I didn't respond just a moment ago?"

"Ah."

Since the mask was no longer in use, Saki had to carefully manage her facial expressions.

He glanced at the live stream from the corner of his eye, found the perfect angle, and flashed a flawless smile that he had practiced in private:

"Since there was no response, I temporarily awakened one. What, is there a problem?"

The reason why Qi Ji was talking so much with Xi Beier at this moment was not purely to show off.

It was because he discovered something extremely embarrassing—

Although he awakened the Echo, he couldn't even master a circuit of his own lineage!

It's like unlocking a max-level account, but only having a basic attack skill in your skill bar.

He also had a great deal of credit for obtaining an epic-quality universal genealogical circuit book in the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

Previously, it couldn't be used because there was no awakening response, but now it's just in time to solve the immediate problem.
