    Chapter 677: Doors and Doors

    The monsters once showed a card.

    Area E (Deck Area).

    Shen Ye remembered that the card not only said “the cardholder is in charge of the deck…”, but also contained more important information.

    But he only saw “Specific description: Not displayed.”

    —The monsters didn’t want him to see it.

    However, at this moment, he had repaired the large hole in Area D and obtained the card for Area D.

    So Shen Ye immediately looked at the detailed description below the card:

    “You are one of the authorities of the other shore, in charge of the entire inner cabin area, and thus have obtained basic rights:”

    “Recognition of the Other Shore.”

    “Description: Designate an ability to be accepted by the ship, usable in Area D, and gain the cooperation of the large ship.”

    “—The builder’s due right.”

    This was interesting.

    The Other Shore ship was extremely sturdy; no magic could harm it, let alone use certain methods to alter objects on the ship.

    —You can’t even nail a single nail, so how can you modify this ship?

    Now it was fixed.

    By becoming the controller of Area D, he could propose an ability to be accepted by the ship.

    This meant he could now affect the ship.

    But it was only applicable to Area D.

    God was very cautious.

    So—

    How should he choose?

    As Shen Ye was contemplating, applause suddenly rang out behind him.

    шшш ◆тт kдn ◆¢ O

    “It seems your Slaughter Squad is very rich.”

    Soul Sphere!

    This guy had clearly left, yet now he specifically came back.

    What did he want to do?

    Shen Ye turned around and looked at him and the two monsters beside him, saying:

    “We have already repaired the hole in Area D.”

    “I see it—call your boss out, I have something to discuss with him,” said Soul Sphere.

    “The leader and vice-leader are busy with a major task; I am in charge here. You can tell me what you need,” Shen Ye replied.

    Soul Sphere chuckled, “A mere A-tier low-rank human, with such great authority?”

    “I’m not good at combat, but I’m good at getting things done,” Shen Ye said.

    “Then listen up—”

    “This ship is such a hassle; everything requires a huge fortune.”

    “Everyone is preparing for a grand sacrificial ceremony to change the ship’s attribute from ‘sacred’ to ‘corrupt’.”

    “What’s the benefit?” Shen Ye asked.

    “After the ship’s attribute changes, there will be no need to spend money. We just need to find various living beings from historical fragments to feed the ship,” Soul Sphere said.

    Shen Ye tilted his head in thought, clapped his hands, and laughed:

    “We’re not participating.”

    Soul Sphere was startled, then angrily shouted, “How can an ant like you make such an important decision for your team?”

    “Hurry up and call your leader out, or he will see your corpse!”

    Shen Ye glanced at Soul Sphere, then his gaze fell on its two companions.

    Three S-ranks.

    Going to eat me?

    Shen Ye began to reflect.

    How did things turn out this way?

    He had stated that there were no fewer than four S-ranks in his team.

    Yet the other party still dared to cause trouble.

    Had they seen through the duck and young Shen Ye’s true strength?

    Speaking of which.

    His two clones dared not show themselves, which would naturally arouse their suspicion.

    It was only natural for them to come and gauge the strength of the Slaughter Squad.

    If weak, they’d be devoured.

    If strong, hadn’t Area D been given to him already? What more did he want?

    Shen Ye’s lips slowly curved into a smile as he said:

    “Very well, if you wish to see the leader, please follow me.”

    He walked to the wall, pushed open the door, and stepped inside.

    Soul Sphere naturally followed.

    In an instant.

    Soul Sphere entered a separate inner cabin, and its companions were gone.

    Yes!

    Shen Ye had made his choice!

    Through “Recognition of the Other Shore,” the ability he designated the Great Ship of Other Shore to accept was his “Door” ability!

    While negotiating with the monster, his clones—

    Young Shen Ye and Duck Duck had already entered the adjacent room and locked the door from the outside.

    —The two clones had locked all the rooms!

    This was his right as the authority of Area D!

    Given the indestructibility of the ship, once the inner cabin door was locked, there was no way to open the room by other means.

    When all the rooms were locked—

    Shen Ye, in the first room, then said to Soul Sphere:

    “Very well, if you wish to see the leader, please follow me.”

    Soul Sphere passed through the door and arrived in the second room.

    The other two monsters did not appear.

    The door had also disappeared.

    At this moment.

    In the second room, there were only Shen Ye and Soul Sphere.

    “Oh? You’ve separated us. Do you intend to challenge me?”

    Soul Sphere asked with a half-smile.

    “You’re thinking too much,” Shen Ye said calmly.

    He walked to the wall, pushed open a door, passed through it, and arrived in the third room.

    Soul Sphere rushed up but was blocked by the door and could not pass.

    —Only those recognized by Shen Ye could pass through the “Refuge of Exile” door!

    And this door ability was created jointly by the Lord of Higher Dimensions and the Power of Doomsday Annihilation—

    Soul Sphere’s power could not suppress the “Refuge of Exile”!

    In the third room.

    Another S-rank monster stayed there alone.

    It and Soul Sphere had passed through the “Refuge of Exile” door one after another, but Shen Ye had reset the door’s obstacles, so they arrived at completely different locations!

    Shen Ye glanced at the monster, walked to the opposite wall, opened another door, and stepped inside.

    —The fourth room.

    The third S-rank monster was staying here.

    It was the last to enter the door, naturally crossing the obstacles “second and third rooms” that Shen Ye had reset, and arrived in the fourth room.

    “Very good, each of you has a room. Stay there peacefully.”

    Shen Ye said, then retreated.

    He passed through the wall, arrived in the fifth room, walked decisively to the door of the room, placed his hand on the door, and activated “Refuge of Exile” again.

    When a door appeared on the door, he took a deep breath, violently twisted the doorknob, rolled out onto the ground outside, and shouted:

    “Don’t snatch—don’t snatch, those treasures all belong to our Slaughter Squad.”

    Before his words finished.

    A shadow suddenly darted past, sweeping into the main entrance of the fifth room.

    Only then did Shen Ye get up and leisurely walk over.

    The shadow turned into a monster, realized it had been tricked, and quickly tried to retreat, but was blocked by the door of the Refuge of Exile.

    —Shen Ye did not recognize it, so it could not pass through the door and return to the square.

    “Too greedy.”

    Shen Ye said, gently closing the door and locking it from the outside.

    This way, a total of four S-rank monsters were trapped.

    Indeed. Each of you is very strong.

    But this is the Great Ship of Other Shore!

    No damage can affect the ship’s body!

    So—

    Just stay locked up!

    Shen Ye returned to the small square, his eyes slightly closed, quietly experiencing the feelings the monsters had given him just now.

    “The second monster is the weakest…”

    Kill one.

    Without showing blood, he would never earn respect.

    If, after killing this one, the monsters still dared to covet the Slaughter Squad, then he would kill the remaining ones too.

    One by one.

    Indeed, his strength was insufficient to deal with three S-rank existences.

    He couldn’t even defeat one S-rank.

    But he had future keyword entries.

    A temporary super S-rank boost was enough to solve the problem!

    Shen Ye drew his Youhuang Blade and walked to the door of the third room, just about to enter.

    Suddenly, a line of faint text appeared quietly:

    “By virtue of your master-servant contract, your servant is on her way.”

    Bang—

    The void opened.

    A woman in a long black veiled dress appeared before Shen Ye.

    Mi!

    She appeared at this moment!

    “About the contract? I guarantee I’ll release you from it.”

    Shen Ye had no choice but to put away his blade and said.

    “No need,” Mi said indifferently, “I was the one who introduced you, and yet they’ve been targeting you. That makes me lose face too.”

    “Then what do you mean?” Shen Ye asked.

    Mi turned and looked at the three rooms, feeling the powerful aura coming from within, and said:

    “A door ability?”

    “Yes,” Shen Ye said.

    “I’m also a door ability user,” Mi said.

    “I know that,” Shen Ye said.

    The first time he met Mi, she had emerged from a bronze door.

    At that time, he had confirmed her identity as a door ability user.

    “As your servant, I have a suggestion.”

    Mi said.

    “What?” Shen Ye asked.

    “The Lord of Distortion will soon summon all members of the Sanctuary, but if I already have a master, my master must first be consulted for my summoning.”

    “—You must not agree to let me go.”

    Mi said.

    Shen Ye looked at her in surprise.

    He had joked that she might have some hidden troubles.

    Could it be—

    No.

    It might be a trap.

    As Shen Ye was thinking, he suddenly saw intense spatial fluctuations

    emerging from Mi.

    —Someone was summoning her!

    At the same time.

    A line of faint words appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:

    “The Lord of Distortion is summoning your servant. According to the iron law of summoning, a person or object with a master can only be summoned with the master’s consent.”

    “Do you agree?”

    While Shen Ye was watching, Mi had already taken two steps forward and grabbed his hand.

    A strange power surged within her.

    This power began to resonate with Shen Ye.

    “As long as you don’t hand me over and protect me from now on, this power will be yours!”

    Mi whispered in his ear.

    The faint characters refreshed rapidly in the void:

    “Using the master-servant contract as a medium, your servant Mi offers her door ability, ‘Door of Decay’, to you.”

    “Are you willing to accept this ability?”

    “Note that once you accept this ability, you must refuse the Lord of Distortion’s summoning of Mi.”

    Shen Ye gave Mi a deep look.

    Mi was expressionless.

    “Why? We’ve only just met, and were even enemies. Why do you trust me?”

    Shen Ye asked.

    “Because you clearly could have manipulated me, yet you twice allowed others to sever our connection.”

    “Anyone else would have jumped at the chance to have a servant like me.”

    “This already proves your way of doing things.”

    Mi said.

    Shen Ye subconsciously took two steps back.

    “What are you worried about? I absolutely have no intention of harming you,” Mi said seriously.

    Me…

    Afraid of my wife?

    Shen Ye composed himself and said, “Refuse the summoning.”

    Swish—

    The spatial fluctuation enveloping Mi soared into the air and disappeared.

    The Lord of Distortion’s summons had been rejected!

    The faint text reappeared:

    “You have obtained the maid Mi’s door ability: Door of Decay.”

    “Effect:”

    “Any being entering the door will fall into a state of being haunted by evil spirits, their body and soul constantly decaying, and their power completely absorbed by the door’s master.”

    Shen Ye glanced at Mi.

    “Why did you serve the Lord of Distortion? What happened before?”

    He asked.

    “Everything was destroyed. If I hadn’t submitted to it, I wouldn’t have survived until today—I know you are a door ability user, so from now on, you can have two door abilities,” Mi said.

    “No.”

    Shen Ye summoned the Refuge of Exile with his left hand, the Door of Decay with his right, and then pressed the two doors together forcefully.

    “Too many doors distract one’s attention. It’s better to have only one door ability.”

    Shen Ye said.

    Two lines of faint text then appeared:

    “You used the keyword ‘Mandala Ouroboros’ to begin fusing the power of the two doors.”

    “This is the first time a door from the myriad worlds has encountered a door from the main history.”

    “They need some time to understand each other.”

    “—This fusion will take a longer time, please be patient.”

    Shen Ye no longer looked, walking towards an empty inner cabin.

    “Follow me.”

    “What does Master want to do? Get a room with me?” Mi secretly glanced at him, her words revealing an unprecedented liveliness and boldness.

    —This guy really kept her!

    He truly dared to refuse the Lord of Distortion!

    She had gambled correctly this time!

    Shen Ye glared at her and said, “Are you coming or not? If not, I won’t bother with you anymore.”

    The inner cabin was safe.

    Although it was small, it wouldn’t be destroyed.

    Even if the Lord of Distortion came, he wouldn’t be afraid.

    —He had to wait until the door abilities were fused before making new plans!

    “Of course, Master.”

    Mi said with a smile, following Shen Ye’s footsteps.
