Chapter 173: The Five Remaining Veteran Train Crews
[You didn’t care about what the remaining veteran Train Conductors would think. Moreover, if those royal vampire clans were so blind, except for the Dravenhart Clan, you wouldn’t mind causing another genocide for one of them.]
[Anyway, you had also secretly used Hint Prompt against those Royal Vampire Clans and knew that you discovered that even with all of them combined, your Zenith Train Crew’s victory in this Millennium Vampire War was almost guaranteed.]
[With that thought in mind, you decided to take a rest first since it was already nighttime and you were too busy dealing with those veteran Train Conductors.]
[The night soon passed, and after waking up from your bed with Jade by your side, you kissed her forehead and left the bed.]
[Waking up from your morning kiss, Jade also left the bed and followed you.]
[In reality, the two of you could go on without sleeping for weeks or even months. You had even created a magic spell that would recover the mental and physical state, and it was even somewhat better than a good night’s sleep.]
[However, as humans, you and Jade were used to sleeping, so unless it was necessary, you weren’t willing to remove it from your daily routine. And besides, doing so would allow you to be more intimate with Jade, so the two of you wouldn’t mind it.]
[After waking up, Jade asked, "Darling, will you slaughter the remaining train conductors first or those vampire participants?"]
[You replied, "Needless to say, we’ll eliminate those veteran train conductors first. Although killing those vampire participants would allow Astraea to become the champion in this millennium’s vampire war, I still don’t want those unstable variables to exist."]
["The remaining veteran Train Conductors are somewhat stronger than those we had eliminated before. Among the five Train Crews left, there are seven veteran Train Conductors left."]
["Five of them are at Late Platinum rank, while the rest of the two are at Peak Platinum rank. However, they can’t be underestimated since a few of them have the means to temporarily boost their power, enough to increase power rank by one minor rank higher."]
["Those two Peak Platinum rank Train Conductors could temporarily possess the power of an Initial Diamond rank. Coupled with their trump cards and soul-bound weapons, they can even deal with Mid Diamond rank powerhouses."]
[Hearing your reply, Jade contemplated for a while before commenting, "Huh... These veteran Train Conductors can’t really be underestimated."]
["If we didn’t awaken our Bloodline Magic, become Seven Circle Mages, and had our one-year magic training arc, we would have been screwed."]
["At least, we could only choose to confront those Train Conductors by assassinating them one Train Crew at a time. We would have to avoid their edge, especially this time, where they set aside their differences and formed an alliance."]
[Listening to Jade’s comment, you prepared breakfast for the Train Crew using Unlimited Food Creation (Gold) and used the Realm Core to teleport them to wherever each of them was.]
[Afterwards, you and Jade ate your breakfast while you replied, "If it’s a direct confrontation against them and we let them power up, we definitely wouldn’t be able to defeat them if it were a year ago."]
["Even now, it won’t be easy. However, that’s assuming we let them get the chance to boost their power."]
["Just like what I did in the Bloodthorne Clan, I can just use World Order to prevent them from using their power. No matter how much they boosted their power, their true power rank hasn’t even reached the Initial Diamond rank, so they are susceptible to my World Order’s power weakening."]
["In some ways, their resistance to it is even lower than that of the Initial Diamond rank Vampire Ancestors. I can guarantee that those veteran Train Conductors wouldn’t be able to use their powers as long as I activate World Order in time."]
["To achieve that, I’ll need your assistance. We can do it like this..."]
[During breakfast time, you laid out your plan to Jade and explained to her what she could do to make it flawless and foolproof.]
[By the time you both finished eating, confidence adorned your faces as you manually drove the train, using Absolute Compass to head to where those veteran Train Conductors had gathered.]
[When the Zenith Train was just a few kilometers away, you and Jade immediately left the Zenith Train and the void parking space.]
[As soon as Jade stepped out, she instantly summoned her Golden Time spirit avatar to her side. Without any delay, Jade used Time Stop.]
[Knowing that Jade’s time stop had a limited range and didn’t work worldwide, you immediately cast your Bloodline Magic, "Bloodline Magic: Absolute Boundary!"]
["I designate the boundary of your Time Stop!"]
[Taking control of the boundary of Jade’s time stop, you immediately expanded it to cover a diameter of a hundred kilometers with Jade as the center.]
[If you had broken the boundary of time stop instead, you could have dispelled her time stop. But since she’s an ally, you didn’t and instead, expanded it so that those veteran Train Conductors wouldn’t be able to react.]
[Not only that, you didn’t forget to increase the scope of Jade’s time stop so that even if the veteran Train Conductors had some sort of immunity to time abilities, it would be rendered effective.]
[With the area around you and Jade being in a stopped time state, the first part of your plan was complete, and you immediately commenced the second part!]
[Summoning Order King to your side, you immediately used your multiplication fairy fruit to increase your energy reserves capacity, energy recovery rate, and energy efficiency.]
[You and Jade didn’t even hold back, transforming into True Fairy Form with your respective fairy fruits to further increase the power of your fairy fruit abilities.]
[After increasing your vision range and seeing the veteran Train Conductors from afar, you used Hint Prompt on them, before using one of Order King’s spirit avatar abilities, "Royal Confiscation!"]
[After depriving them of their strongest abilities, you proceeded to use World Order, "Order! I deprive my adversaries of their power to stand and oppose me!"]
