It was as if a suffocating person suddenly found their breath.
The moment Yelai opened his eyes, he shot up, gasping for air.
As his breathing steadied, Yelai called out immediately. At that moment, his memory was still stuck on being killed by the Entity and then being dismembered by Luo Zhenxue.
Wait? Why am I not dead? Wasn't I dismembered by Zhenxue? Where am I? What is this place?
He looked around, stunned by the unfamiliar environment.
Cthulhu Town?
After observing his surroundings, he murmured a guess. As a "Wasted Key," this was his first time in Cthulhu Town, but combining it with the memories from before his death, he deduced that this was indeed Cthulhu Town.
Suddenly, he broke into a joyful smile.
Zhenxue! She really brought me back to life with Cthulhu's help.
Just as he was about to check if there were any abnormalities in his resurrected body, something emitting a black glow caught his peripheral vision.
What is that?
He discovered that a key was floating in front of him.
As he focused on it for a moment, Yelai's eyes widened in shock.
Isn't this my key? Why has it turned black?
Although the key had changed color, its design remained the same; it was identical to his Sequence Key. He could be certain it was indeed his Sequence Key.
This End of the Sequence was well-known; everyone understood that each person's Sequence Key had a unique design, just like fingerprints—there couldn't be two identical ones.
Is there such a thing as a Black Sequence Key?
Yelai furrowed his brow.
Recalling the memories of the Sequencer, he couldn't remember the Sequence Key being black. His key's color was undoubtedly unique. He just didn't know if it was broken.
Well, how much worse could it get? It couldn't possibly be worse than the White Key.
He felt a mix of curiosity, excitement, and anxiety. All this time, he had been despondent about being a useless key. Now, with the black color, he felt a flicker of hope and uncertainty, wondering if the Black Key might actually be useful.
He hoped it would be helpful; that way, he wouldn't have to rely on Zhenxue for protection anymore. He wanted to fight alongside her and survive in this End of the Sequence world together.
Talking to himself, he reached out for the Black Key.
The moment he touched it, the Black Key emitted a dark glow. The light converged, and suddenly, a piece of information appeared in Yelai's mind.
Just like when he first awakened as a useless key, the useless key would provide corresponding information. This time was no exception.
"You can establish connections with all Entities within the rules and Divine Sequence by paying a certain price to unleash their power."
Yelai was stunned by the information flooding his mind.
Looking at the gradually transforming White Key into the Black Key, he felt an urge to raise his arms in triumph.
The long-awaited golden finger had finally arrived! He could actually contract with the Entities of the rules; this was even higher in rank than Zhenxue's Sequence Key.
Based on his understanding of the Sequence Key, there were only two colors: white and red. Their function was to establish connections with Entities or open the gateway to link with them and borrow their power.
The White Key could only contract with low-tier Entities and required a significant price to pay—essentially harming oneself while trying to harm the enemy.
This was why pure White Keys were referred to as useless keys.
The Red Key is different. The redder the key, the stronger the connection it can establish with higher Entities, and the cost required is minimal.
