Chapter 999: Chapter 361 One day, I will change the world_2

"Disappeared?"

William was even more puzzled, "How can something disappear into thin air? There must be somewhere it went, right?"

"Good question, I don’t know either."

"..."

"The fact is, the newly born Inverted World is indistinguishable from the Outer World in its initial stage, except for some entities of transcendent realms that cannot be replicated. Everything else is as if reflected in a mirror. As the influence of negative information grows, this world becomes darker and more despairing."

As he spoke, Dreyne could not help but sigh, "The negative information no longer exists. If it was destroyed along with the collapsing Inverted World, that’s probably the reason for the Inverted World’s existence. It protected the Outer World."

"Have you said enough!"

Philomena slammed the table and stood up, her eyes red as she glared at Dreyne. Each word from the latter cut through her already ravaged body like a sharp knife, causing blood to spill endlessly.

"Life in the Outer World is life, and life in the Inverted World is also life. I’ve never been illusory; I never thought of sacrificing myself for the Outer World!"

Philomena drew her Full Moon Pistol and, in a kind of release, pulled the trigger repeatedly at Dreyne, missing each time. All misses.

Dreyne did not dodge; it was Philomena who did not dare to truly shoot at her. After her powerless rage subsided, she turned and walked to the side, drawing out the Waning Moon Single-edged Sword to hack at the black jumbled rocks.

During this time, Dreyne and Wayne remained silent.

After a while, Wayne said, "Dreyne, have you ever experienced the collapse of the Inverted World?"

"I have not; if the world were collapsing, it would be difficult for me to leave. It’s too dangerous."

Dreyne shook her head slightly, reproaching Wayne for giving hope to Philomena and William. She had done the same before—grasping at straws, only to increase regrets and amplify despair.

Dreyne didn’t say these words. Kindness is good; she hoped Wayne would keep it up. She gestured with her eyes for Wayne to comfort his girlfriend.

You’re so good at coaxing women, so keep lying to them. A moment’s happiness is still happiness.

Wayne felt a chill. He was a player, not a complete scoundrel. He couldn’t bring himself to make such false promises, no matter what.

"Since the world is doomed, let’s play cards until it’s destroyed. I’d rather face the end with joy than sorrow. Negative information might destroy this world, but it won’t destroy me," William suddenly spoke up.

Dreyne looked at William in surprise, "For you to say such things and still actively spread optimism to the outside world, it’s a pity you’re not the inheritor of the Sun Knight in the Outer World."

Maybe she really is!

Wayne looked at William, considering the possibility that due to his interference, he interrupted the process for Viley to become the Sun Knight.

The background of the Sun Knight’s Entourage family, the upbringing from the Valkyrie... these all served as potential proof...

But no, if not for him, Viley would have died in Caforno Town, and she would never have had the chance to encounter the Armor and learn the Dragon-Slayer Sword Technique on Dragonheart Island.

Even so, Wayne decided to give it a try upon returning, maybe Viley and the Dawn Admonition were indeed well-matched.

Saina too. Their becoming God-chosen Knights in the Inverted World indicated that the Divine Artifact recognized their substitute talents.

At this moment, William was like a small sun, radiating positive energy to all around. Wayne and Dreyne knew very well that William was lying. His heart was filled with immense pain. He chose to keep it buried deep instead of releasing it like Philomena.

Perhaps it was because of the Dawn Admonition, or more likely his nature, Veronica in the Outer World had few friends—a longing Moonlight, a roommate Viley.

It wasn’t just the convenience that enabled Viley to unlock the closed heart of the young lady; it was her optimistic nature that allowed Veronica to open up to her.

This muscle man is too kind-hearted!

Dreyne nodded repeatedly, and although Wayne’s tastes were increasingly dragging, his vision was still spot on. Beneath William’s robust physique lay a tender heart, making him a worthy companion...

The image was too terrible; Dreyne could no longer continue that line of thought. She reassembled the deck and chips in her mind and invited William to join them in a game of cards.

Coincidentally, Viley was consistent through and through, sharing Dreyne’s hobby—a true card fiend.

Dreyne admitted her appreciation of this excellent card partner, praising her greatly, and promised to visit and invite William to a three-day and night card session once she was back in the Outer World.

William thought to himself that it would be interesting, and the Outer World’s version of her would surely surprise Dreyne.

Alas, he would not be able to see it.

William looked aside where Philomena was sobbing in self-embrace, and Wayne was there comforting her without speaking, just quietly standing by her side.

William felt a sense of envy; he also longed for comfort, but if he were to act like Philomena, he would only make Wayne feel helpless.

He was not sure about Philomena in the Outer World, but William was very certain, the Inverted World’s Philomena did not like Wayne.

"Kid, you are better than her."

"I possess the Dawn Admonition; it’s not a fair comparison."

"You are better still."

Dreyne liked William a lot, too bad the reflection was but an illusion; she could not take William with her, only hoping to encounter him in the Outer World.

Embarrassingly, she was not only put off but also curious about how William and Wayne normally interacted.

They were friends, a little peek wouldn’t hurt, right?

Two days later.

At the cliffside card table, four sat opposite each other.

"Damn it, you cheated again!"

"If you’re bad at it, practice more. If you can’t stand losing, don’t play," the voice of a gambling freak came from behind the chips.

"How could there be such..."

Dreyne was furious, pressing her hands against the table, about to unleash her strength when Wayne beat her to it, flipping the table ahead of
