Chapter 673: Chapter 497 “Firebearer” Philosophy Class: Ignite Others, Warm Yourself._3 Chapter 673: Chapter 497 “Firebearer” Philosophy Class: Ignite Others, Warm Yourself._3 Just as Colin was feeling puzzled, the voice of the “Thorn Lady” rang out again, “I got a little distracted just now and accidentally used some ‘Divinity’. I got tapped by the ‘Night’, well, back to the point, in that case, the ‘Night’ would directly descend upon you…”

Upon hearing this, Colin shivered.

He then continued to listen to the “Thorn Lady”‘s voice coming through: “You should know that people here have never truly connected with the ‘Night’ up till now. Aside from its own issues, there’s also my effort involved.”

“Alright,” Colin didn’t ask any further.

At this point, it looked like the employees were in for more hardship.

‘No, it’s not really a hardship, just driving a ‘wooden stake’ is all. How could there be any suffering in that? I’m carrying two things and not complaining about the aftermath of battle, yet they’re here whining…’

Colin felt justified getting up on his feet.

And as time trickled by…

Almost another hour later, when everyone including Colin really felt like they couldn’t hold on any longer.

The “Thorn Lady”‘s voice suddenly offered proactive guidance.

“Alright, alright, it’s finally sorted! Look at how I’ve nailed it!”

As her words ended, a bright light flooded Colin’s field of vision, and the dense dimness that enveloped the ritual place of the “Eternal Night” dissipated instantly, the power of the “Night” that resided within the bodies of the employees from the various “branch offices” of this world vanished.

It was unclear whether it was transferred, or emptied…

This occurrence made the “Night” above the dome suddenly feel even more distant, like a kite with its string cut.

“Finally…” Colin exhaled in relief, but he still didn’t dare to let go of the fire.

At that moment, above the cloud-covered dome, something giant and majestic began to stir.

Colin caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, it appeared to be some “black thorns,” only these were much larger than those nearby, and they spanned the sky, extending to the ends unseen, as if wrapping the entire world within.

At that time, countless thorns descended from the sky, their branches intertwining and entangling to form a vague figure dressed in a long thorn-covered gown.

A grand aura erupted from this figure…

The whole world began to vibrate.

Countless figures knelt before her, praising loudly.

‘The Dusk Sect’s change of faith is really swift,’ Colin thought, tongue-tied.

At this moment, the lofty and distant words of the “Thorn Lady” reached everyone’s ears along with her power:

“Heed my words, return to the train, and set sail once again!”

There was no explanation given…

But the will of the True God is not to be questioned!

Everyone turned and walked swiftly towards the train, everything proceeding in an orderly fashion under her watchful gaze, without too many incidents…

After the last person entered the carriage, a task appeared in Colin’s mind.

[Temporary event: Enter any carriage on the “Severed Mist Train”, transfer the personnel of the train, then take out a “Level 2 Containment Subject” and “Colorless Crystal*100” and ignite them to inject initial power into the train.]

“So those things were to be used at this moment, huh?”

Colin contemplated; he initially thought this was meant to be added to the fuel chamber when reaching the ninth station.

It turned out to be just providing an initial power…

“Go ahead, now it’s up to me to hold this place,” the “Thorn Lady” said.

Upon hearing this, Colin hesitated no longer, dived down towards the lower area. Under the amazed gazes of everyone, he entered one of the carriages, after moving people into other carriages, he took out the materials he had prepared earlier.

He then poured a can of “Flame Bearer’s Grease” and snapped his fingers to ignite it.

The next second…

The Containment Subject emitted a scream, seeming to want to struggle, but Colin stepped forward and held it down with a foot, pulling out his revolver and fired several shots without expression.

Quiet returned to the place once again.

Then, after about ten more seconds…

The train, which had been stationary for hundreds of years, began to vibrate, with gray mist spewing out from atop it, and gradually started to move, picking up speed as it went.

“Hahaha, it’s finally moving! It’s finally moving!”

“The task is about to be completed!”

“Wuu wuu wuu, the torture is over, it has ended…”

“…”

The multitude of employees burst into excited celebration upon seeing this, but observed the train gradually moving away.

Standing in place, they suddenly felt something was amiss…

The task was over, they hadn’t been immediately returned, and the train seemed to be moving further away.

“Wait, hold on, we haven’t boarded yet!”

Some tried to catch up while waving their hands and shouting loudly.
