Chapter 405: How to own five buildings
Midseason Viewing Pool.
Next to the big screen, the host commentated quickly and nervously, "Now we can see that the situation on the field is quite tight, the Killer Sequence has adopted the tactic of multiple pincers, from the beginning of the match until now, the Killer Sequence basically kept more than two players to pincer the Deer Hunter's Joker, it seems that they are still quite afraid of the Joker's skill weapon, Soul Shattering Gun. "
"So far, with the constant skill interruptions, the Joker player hasn't managed to utilize the Soul Shattering Gun skill once."
The host's eyes were fixed on the big screen, and he raised his voice, "Killer Sequence changed their defense! They've replaced the Joker's defense team members with Against the Gods and Spades, this pairing can be said to be the most powerful and popular in the entire mid-season tournament, are they preparing to take away the Joker in a wave this time!"
"But the Joker still has sixty-three life points, the highest life point of any Deer Hunter in the field, and while the entire Killer Sequence is attacking the Joker, the entire Deer Hunter team is frantically returning to the Joker's defense, taking most of the pressure in the line of fire for the Joker."
"This tournament Killer Sequence rare imitation of last year's forfeited Russell Cemetery team's approach, the first on the field first released a double shot, directly abandoned the single-double matches, straight to the group stage, this approach is likely to be tactical in order to preserve their own team members of the gold medal of immunity, used in the group stage."
"After all, a team member's gold medal can only be used once in a tournament, and can't be used in group matches after it's been used in single-player matches, but it still takes courage for Against the Gods to do this kind of tactical command that focuses on group matches amidst this general trend of chasing star players."
"Viewers will favor star players out of single-double events, and such outright waivers will likely hurt popularity, as exemplified by Russell Cemetery's high win rate and low popularity last year that lasted the entire midseason."
"Spectators who vote for a winner or a loser would prefer to see a star player killed or injured in a match as opposed to a full survivor, which makes the match more interesting to watch and instantly doubles or decreases the betting pool efficiently."
"The Deer Hunter's betting pool continues to be high this year because of the considerable spectacle and excitement brought about by the Joker player's skill in ignoring the efficacy of the Immunity Gold Medal and being able to shatter souls outright."
"In this final match heading into the heated playoffs, the Killer Sequence has chosen to put all their chips on the Mission Match, and in this touch-and-go situation, whether or not the Adversary and Spades can pull off a successful kill of the Joker could determine the direction of the Killer Sequence's entire postseason schedule!"
The host's eyes barely rolled looking at the big screen before he violently shouted, "The Reverse God has moved!"
Inside the big screen.
Inside the yellow sand, Reverse God and Spades surrounded Daniel one by one, he drew his heavy sword backhandedly with a stern and cold look in his eyes, and Spades drew his whip calmly, the two of them jammed all of Daniel's positioning points, and aimed at the center of Daniel's hard strikes.
[System alert: Player Daniel's life value is down to 33.]
The host shouted excitedly, "Beautiful! Both attacks didn't land and were judged successful! Joker's life value was cut right in half!"
Daniel was knocked straight into the dunes, he was hit so hard that he slammed right into the sand and bounced, the mask on his face was covered in blood, a nervous wheezing low chuckle came from underneath the mask as he opened his arm, which had been knocked until it was broken, and a green sniper/rifle appeared in his hand, the muzzle swirling and coalescing with points of light.
"Joker has once again started to build up his Soul Shattering Gun, will he succeed this time?" The host looked closely at the big screen, "If he succeeds this time, he will be able to directly shatter the soul of one of Killer Sequence's top team members or tacticians, which basically decides the fate of Killer Sequence's playoffs."
Spades indifferently lifted his hand and flung his whip, slamming it far past him like a lizard's tail aimed at the gun in Daniel's hand as he fell to the ground.
The moment he was about to hit, Cen Buming appeared out of the sand in front of Daniel, kneeling down on one knee and catching Spades' whip with one hand, his whole body sinking half a meter deeper into the sand by the force of the whip.
Cen Buming's other hand rested on the ground as he slowly raised his eyes to look at the Adversary and Spades.
[System Alert: Player (Unknown Executioner) using Personal Skill (Water Well)]
[This skill holds prisoners identified by the player at the bottom of a well, torturing them day and night with the darkness of the well's bottom where they cannot see the light of day, until the prisoner is raised by the executioner to be executed by the well, no prisoner may escape, Judgment Skill, no time limit].
The ring on Cen Buming's middle finger flickers and shimmers with an unsettling black sheen flowing from it, a black sheen that spreads rapidly around the ring in a well of circular black holes.
The entirety of the sand beneath the feet of the Adversary and Spades sank downward, and a deep well appeared, sending them both plummeting straight down with two fluttering sounds.
Dark water rippled in the well, and an eerie hissing sound came from the bottom.
"It's the Executioner's Well Skill!" The host roared, "The situation has changed once again!"
"According to the current public intelligence, we can know that the water well is a binding skill that restricts movement with the additional effect of lowering mental value, players who enter the Executioner's well either die and forfeit the game, or are tortured by the darkness in the well to the point where their mental value is lowered to 0 and they turn into monsters, so it can be said that it's a well of death, and at the bottom of the well, there are still countless deaths at the Executioner's hands of the players' monsters."
"The Executioner had never used this skill before this year, and this year he's opened it up big time and made it shine in the midseason tournament circuit! Popularity has skyrocketed all the way to fifth!"
"Last year's Spades player took a big loss and nearly died under such skills of Russell's rookie player, and the Executioner's skills are obviously a step up from last year's Russell Cemetery rookie player, so I don't know if the Spades player will be able to hold his own!"
Daniel, wearing a clown mask, staggers towards the water well, the smile on his mask twisted and wide, the green sniper/rifle in his hand aimed at the water, and just as he's about to fire, Cen Buming next to him squeezes the muzzle of the gun.
Daniel raises an eyebrow and looks over as Cen Buming stares out over the water, "Wait."
The host froze, "...... Killer Sequence Ace and Tactician are trapped, Joker is free to act, the situation now favors the Deer Hunters across the board, but for some reason the Executioner stopped Joker from unleashing his skills, what is he waiting for?"
"Shouldn't ......" the presenter's eyes widened in shock, "the executioner didn't want to kill his former tactician, so he was waiting for him to come out from among the wells?!"
"Are the Executioners trying to poach the Adversary back to the Deer Hunters before next season?!"
"It's not clear what the exact criteria for determining wells are, but to date, no player has ever made it out of the middle of a living Executioner's well ......" the host quickly and suspiciously dismissed himself, "Or perhaps the Executioner is waiting for the well to kill the Adversary and Spades?"
A hand reached out to the surface of the water, and as this hand opened, the heavy sword appeared in his hand out of nowhere, and with a thunderous momentum made a three hundred and sixty-degree turn in the middle of the water well, and all the pitch-black water of the well was swept out of the mouth of the well by the heavy sword, revealing the hissing hideous monsters down at the bottom of the well, and Spades and Adversary God, who were standing side by side with whips draped in their hair, with their hair dripping wet, on the mountainous corpses of these monsters.
The Adversary looked up and locked eyes with Cen Buming, who stood towering over the well.
"In my case." Cen Buming gazed deeply at the Adversary, "You will never be a prisoner, Master, the well cannot trap you."
The Adversary jumped out from the bottom of the well with a single, athletic step, and without a word, he swung his heavy sword with a steely gaze at Cen Buming, who leaned his body back to dodge it while releasing the muzzle of the Joker's gun that his own right hand was squeezing, and coldly ordered, "Kill Spades."
Cen Buming raises his left hand upward, and the water line in the well instantly rises, submerging the slightly puzzled Spades, who can't climb up from the bottom of the well.
Daniel lazily said OK and raised his gun without hesitation to pull the trigger, the pupils of the Reverse God beside him shrunk and drew his sword to return to interrupt Daniel's skill, but was caught by Cen Buming's ring-wearing hand in a death grip on the side of his heavy sword.
The Adversary God's eyes glazed over and his shoulders shot up, forcibly pulling his heavy sword from Cen Buming's grip.
The heavy sword's blade rubbed a blinding flame on the finger ring as it was forcefully drawn by the Reverse God.
Cen Buming looked at the Adversary with cold eyes and raised his hand to fork his tiger's mouth to aim a quick attack at the Adversary's neck, "Senior."
"Keep quiet during the execution, don't interrupt the executioner, isn't that the basic etiquette you taught me? How did you forget it yourself?"
The Adversary dodged short to avoid Cen Buming's incoming eagle claw, his heavy sword pulled out and fell out and stuck in the sand, he sidestepped and gritted his teeth and kicked hard at the end of the heavy sword stuck in the sand.
The heavy sword was kicked by the Adversary God driving his entire body into a straight upward slanting spin, creating a shining arc in the air towards Daniel's hand who was excitedly squinting his eyes and aiming into the water well!
"Lied to you oh." Daniel tilted his head to avoid the heavy blade of the Adversary's sword as he drew back the gun aimed at Mizukage and aimed it at the Adversary with a smirk, "How could I be so obedient to kill whoever I say I'm going to kill?"
"Naturally, it's more fun for me to favor whoever you won't let me kill, don't you think so Chairman?"
Daniel pulled the trigger and green bullets rushed out of the chamber, heading straight for the Retro God's face.
Cen Buming's pupils shrunk, and he rushed up to interrupt the bullet that had been fired at the Inverse God, whose expression did not change at all, and even brought out that usual, cloudy smile that he always wore.
The smile irritated Daniel inexplicably, and he frowned.
He'd never been so unbelievably overwhelmed in a match, and after hitting the second half of the game without firing a single bullet, Daniel always had the feeling that he'd already been seen through by this guy named Against the Gods.
-- It was as if, at this very moment, the Adversary God had long foreseen that this was a bullet that had been fired at him.
And Cen Buming would run over and block for him just the same.
But he wouldn't let anyone die on a field with him in it, and that sense of absolute certainty could almost penetrate the Adversary's eyes with a firmness that took one's heart.
This feeling of having prejudged everything is really ...... unpleasant.
The Adversary's blade sliced empty across Daniel's neck and continued to turn away with barely a pause, as if he hadn't been aiming for Daniel in the first place, and the Adversary quickly lowered his head to let the heavy sword turn over his shoulder in another half-circle.
The wind brought up by the high-speed rotation of the heavy sword messed up Reverse God's hair, covering his face so that it was impossible to see his eyes, and all that could be seen was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
Then the second before the bullet was about to hit Cen Buming, the blade of the heavy sword, which had been turned from the left shoulder of the Reverse God, hit the green bullet in the air with a deafening "clink" of metal on metal.
The bullet was sliced in half by the heavy sword and fell to the sand.
After cutting off the bullet, the Reverse God's spinning heavy sword didn't stop, but chopped wildly all the way through, slicing hard directly into Cen Buming's chest cavity and pinning him to the sand.
Cen Buming gripped his heavy sword, blood pouring from his chest where it had been stabbed into him, while he looked dead, unwillingly, at the Adversary God who had decapitated him.
With blood on his face, the Adversary God lowered his eyes and whispered, "Rest well for now, Senior Brother."
[System Alert: Player (Judge Against the Gods) has decapitated player (Unknown Executioner)]
The viewing pool lasted a dimensional minute of silence, the host looked at the big screen in near stagnation, and only after a while did he react to the commentary, opening his mouth with a bit of a stuttering voice: "Jedi, Jedi counterattack!"
"Reverse God double kills! He decapitated the Soul Shattering Gun in exchange for one of Joker's fifteen-minute skill CDs, and killed the Deer Hunter's Tactician at the same time!"
The host's voice shook with excitement as he narrated, "All along, we thought it was the presence of the Adversary that limited the Executioner's play, but now it seems that in the Deer Hunter has also limited his play to a considerable degree."
"Never before have we seen such an aggressive side of the Adversary."
"That heavy sword is just, just ......" the host wracked his brain trying to find a keyword to describe the weapon, "The attack judgment is outrageous! It can actually cut off the bullets of the Soul Shattering Gun! You know that Spades' Bone Whip is already the strongest weapon with the strongest known judgment, and it didn't even manage to do that!"
"Judging from the result of this match, the transfer of Against the Gods turned out to be favorable for both sides, I just don't know why he changed his name, was it to fit the style of the Slayer Sequence that's why he changed his name to be called [Against the Crucifixionists] ......"
The Adversary inclined his head towards the fleeing Daniel as he drew his heavy sword and said with an amiable grin, "Minors still need to play with dangerously heavy instruments less often, oh."
[System Alert: Player (Judge Against the Gods) has decapitated player (Joker)]
The well that had trapped Spades disappeared, and the man, completely soaked to the skin, looked to the Adversary, still with that same indifferent look, "Is it over?"
"Well, almost." The Adversary glanced at him and smiled, "But the main event of the day isn't this way."
Spades paused, sweeping away his previous careless stance as he straightened his back and looked straight at the Adversary, "Can we go over there then?"
Against the Gods: "......"
What team are you really on.
A month ago, the Killer Sequence's office.
The Reverse God leaned alone on the sofa, tapping a piece of paper in his hand with one beat, his eyes half-closed, muttering to himself, "Forty-one, ah, really hard to get into, this is almost already considered to be in person, right, completely blatant in the werewolf kill cheating ah, can be Bai Liu screwed to death... ..."
"What Bai Liu? "Spades, who was crouching next to the couch, suddenly uttered, startling the Reverse God, "Didn't you go to the play pool to train with the rest of the team?!"
"I escaped." Spades shook his head, looking straight at the Adversary with both eyes, and pressed on, "What Bai Liu?"
Against the Gods: "......"
It's also the first time I've seen someone who can talk about skipping a training session with such justification.
"...... I do need your help too if I'm going to intervene in this matter." The Reverse God sighed hopelessly, "It's just that there's a big bad guy who wants to target Bai Liu, so I'm playing a game with him and want to win him, but we agreed with each other that we can't actively intervene in Bai Liu's affairs, and we can only influence him with the help of the cards in our own hands."
"But the big bad exploited the game and cheated, he tweaked the world line, forced a normal person into the game, and then went so far that he had to voluntarily summon him to win, and by doing so he managed to interfere in Bai Liu's affairs."
Spades nodded inscrutably, as if figuring it out, and then as soon as he spoke he said, "Then kill him."
"No." The Reverse God's eyes grew deep, "He seeks to kill Bai Liu himself and become the next him."
Spades frowned and asked earnestly in return, "Is he sick?"
The Adversary didn't hold back a squirt of laughter before letting out a ghostly sigh, "...... Neither is he, he seeks to be able to find his most valuable self in the myriad world lines of the Void, and then have him replace him."
"It's just that ......" the Adversary collapsed onto the couch, covering his eyes with the paper on which the prophecy was written, and whispered uncertainly, "the Evil God's standard of worthiness for souls is pain, not desire or evil. "
"But he himself can only create evil and desire, so the successors he draws to him are always ill-suited, filled with lust and evil like a black hole, just like himself."
"He is tired of inferior and unsound souls in this form, such depraved souls are incapable of becoming evil gods and will soon be alienated into monsters, but then again very few souls can withstand the lure of his evil and lust without falling."
"Every man has his own evil side, and he symbolizes unspeakable evil and desire itself, which makes all souls seem like a commodity at hand before him."
"This made him wish more and more to find a soul like a human being, with great desires, but who would never fall for them to take the place of his deity."
"In this world line, he has finally found it, and that person is Bai Liu."
"So he will keep tormenting Bai Liu, using pain to refine Bai Liu's soul, to give Bai Liu value, to test whether Bai Liu can withstand the test of desire, and to keep stimulating the desire in Bai Liu's heart until the desire in Bai Liu's heart is strong enough to replace him."
"He hasn't wanted to be an evil god for a long time, it's just that an unnamable being like an evil god is that individual in the collection of all the world lines of the universe where desire and evil are the strongest, and no one can replace him."
Spades was quiet for a moment, "So did he ask Bai Liu if he wanted to be an evil god?"
The Reverse God was stunned.
Spades looked at the Adversary calmly, "If Bai Liu doesn't want to, then kill him."
"If Bai Liu can't kill him, I will."
The Inverse God was quiet for a while, and laughed out softly, "You guy, I finally understand why Bai Liu can t do anything with you ...... I heard Hua Gan will say to me, you are very eager to pay out Bai Liu a Inverse Cross, grinding him to go crazy."
"Do you know why I changed my name to [Reverse Crusader]?" The Reverse God steeply changed the subject.
Spades thought briefly and said bluntly, "What does your name change have to do with me?"
Against the Gods: "......"
It's not easy for Bai Liu to put up with this guy.
"Does my reverse cross mean reverse cross." The Reverse God sat up, he casually drew a marker and drew a reverse cross on a piece of paper, then turned the paper to make a square cross and looked at Spades with a smile, "My reverse cross means to reverse the cross."
"I have a skill that I haven't used in a long time. It's called [Worldline Overlap], and it's probably slightly less useful ......"
The Reverse God dropped his eyes in silence, then spoke indistinctly, "After all, the one who transferred this skill to me for inheritance before he died, I can barely remember what he looked like ......"
"Over six hundred world lines, that's a long time ......"
"That's why your cooperation is needed." Reverse God quickly returned to his senses as he looked to Spades, "I can't go against the rules of the game of werewolf killing and intentionally interfere with Bai Liu, to create the feeling of an accident, just like the other side."
"That is, you carved out the spatial rift, I happened to activate the skill, and then I briefly overlapped Bai Liu's game world line with ours, which would allow us to briefly rush through."
"The skill only lasts until about six or seven minutes in that part of the dimension where the world lines overlap, and now that I haven't had it in a long time, it must be even lower, hitting the three or four minute count."
Spades looked at the Adversary, "What do you want me to do?"
"The use of this skill requires coordinates." The Inverse God grinned and held up the marker, "If you're really keen on giving Bai Liu a reverse cross, how about drawing one for him?"
Memories end.
Adversary looks to Spades : "Only three to four minutes, that guy is a god, quite dangerous, has the same sniper/gun as the Joker, but can use it so much better than the Joker, I'm not sure if this gun will work on you at the moment, so you'd better be careful."
"But he's kind of forcibly meddling in the worldline process, and is under much stronger restrictions than we are." The Reverse God took a deep breath, "Hopefully the two of us can handle it."
"Ready?"
Without speaking, Spades swung his whip down with a cold gaze, cutting a huge black slit in the air.
Inside the five building replica.
Bai Liu's hand is a latch, in front of him is a locked huge aquarium, inside there are countless swimming beautiful tropical fish, while Bai Liu eyelids slightly closed collapsed at the bottom of the aquarium, there are very small transparent bubbles floating from his face, the wounds on his body are soaked white, a little bit of blood can not penetrate out.
"This is the thirty-eighth skill." Bai Liu looked at Bai Liu under the water and lowered his eyes, "I remember you hated the water, it's amazing that you've endured it this far."
The four members of the team who were hung on the wall of thorns went from anger at the beginning, to despair at the back, to silence as if they were dead now, with only their eyes staring motionlessly at Bai Liu in the aquarium.
Liu Jiayi cried once in the middle, and now her eyes are still red, but Mu Ke, who has always been a crybaby, didn't shed a single tear this time from beginning to end, but just looked on with a deadpan expression.
"It's now up to fifteen minutes." Bai Liu puts away the aquarium.
The moment Bai Liu slid out of the aquarium, almost everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
The weapon in Bai Liu's hand converts to a sniper/rifle and aims it at Bai Liu, smiling and asking him, "Now let's play the second game."
"I'll choose one of your players, or you can choose between Shi Qian and Yuan Guang."
Mu Ke, who was hanging on the wall, suddenly spoke hoarsely, "Bai Liu, kill me."
"I'm the least valuable member of his team, and if you kill me, he'll get a better one, and he'll still be closer and more perfect than you ever imagined."
"Wow." Bai Liu continues to point the gun at Bai Liu, his smile deepening, "Looks like someone can't stand to watch and would rather have their soul shattered in exchange for your release already Bai Liu."
"Do you need me to fulfill him?" Bai Liu leveled his gun at Mu Ke on the wall of thorns with an unblinking eye.
Bai Liu slowly raised his head, his face so pale that there was not a trace of blood left, he violently raised his hand and gripped the muzzle of Bai Liu's gun, raised the gun and slowly stood up to face Bai Liu squarely.
"There's a quicker solution than killing Yuan Guang, and that's to just kill you."
Bai Liu eyed his index finger on the trigger with indifference, "The game always has an egg path, doesn't it Bai Liu?"
Bai Liu raised his hands in surrender, as if looking with amusement at the clown's face on the crumpled soul bill held between Bai Liu's two fingers, "You took advantage of the gap between me and you playing the game to steal Daniel's soul bill with Mu Sicheng's skill?"
"You're going to kill me." The smile on Bai Liu's face became deeper and deeper, "You're going to shatter my soul aren't you?"
"Then you can try."
Everyone on the wall of thorns was stunned by such a reversal, Tang Er hit immediately struggled madly and yelled, "Kill him Bai Liu!"
"Don't hesitate!!!"
"Kill him!"
A very subtle feeling of alienation gripped Bai Liu, causing him to pause for a second before firing, but soon the dizziness caused by the loss of blood made him realize that he couldn't delay any longer, and Bai Liu pulled the trigger.
Bai Liu was struck and fell to the ground, pools of blood quickly filling the air beneath him as he slowly closed his eyes, a smile still on his face.
Mu Ke on the wall revealed a trance-like smile, Mu Sicheng dully leaned back and giggled uncontrollably several times, Liu Jiayi looked towards [Liu Jiayi] who was looking at Bai Liu's body unbelievably from the side, and inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief as well.
Only Bai Liu remained taut, standing beside Bai Liu's body.
Bai Liu's face was pale, his eyes were cold as he aimed several more shots at Bai Liu's body, the reflection of Bai Liu's body reflected in his pupils, then widened little by little.
This person's body, did not turn into ashes like the previous [Mu Sicheng 】......
This guy shouldn't ......
Bai Liu suddenly opened his eyes, he stood up nonchalantly, his back drenched in his own blood, and gave Bai Liu a give-and-take gesture, smiled, spread his hands, and said, "SUPRISE!"
"I have no soul, Bai Liu."
Bai Liu jerks closer to Bai Liu and easily snatches that Daniel's soul bill from his hand, which once again changes to that green sniper/rifle over there, before smiling softly with downcast eyes and aiming the muzzle at Bai Liu's throat, "I forgot to tell you, evil gods don't have souls."
"It's my turn now."
He let out a light laugh, "Bai Liu, guess what, do you have a soul?"
Bai Liu pulled the trigger, and Bai Liu's pupils clenched dramatically.
The [reverse cross] in the middle of Bai Liu's collarbone instantly turned into a positive cross, emitting a dense white light, and in this white light, Bai Liu heard Bai Liu say very softly with a smile in his ear:
"I've said all the lives and deaths of all the people, so let's finish by guessing the lives and deaths between us."
"I hope it's me who dies."
