Sorry, but You'll Have to Sacrifice Yourself

"Tip: Please enter your ID"

Urged on by that 'teammate'.

Roger instinctively opened the input box.

His mind started racing—

Inside the Black Blood Soldier.

There are three types of combat units that are classified based on profession.

They are the Evil Mage, the Berserker, and the Resurrector.

These three units correspond to fragments of the attributes "Talent," "Physicality," and "Sympathy" in Roger's Sin Mark, respectively.

And correspondingly.

The legions they belonged to were also different.

They are the "Edict Order Corps", the "Raging Blood Corps", and the "Black Curse Corps".

Roger noticed that his other two teammates came from the first two legions.

So in order to avoid being recognized.

He'd better disguise himself as a resurrected member of the "Black Curse Corps"! "If that little idiot isn't from the Black Blood Soldier, the chances of him being one of us have increased dramatically..."

"He hasn't entered his ID yet, he must be at a loss."

"Hopefully he'll have some understanding and just follow my instructions!"

Thinking this way.

Roger decisively started typing!...

"ID: Black Curse Group 648"

"Note: The ID you entered already exists. Please select a new ID."

"Cannot be repeated?"

Roger frowned.

As far as he knows.

The Black Blood Soldier has a very strict internal governance system.

If we just randomly assign a number...

It might get discovered.

The number 648 was a relatively safe number he chose based on the size of the Resurrected Legion.

This avoids the awkward situation of not being able to find a number on the roster due to the large number of applicants.

It also avoids the risk of the number being too small and approaching the management level, thus increasing exposure.

But the current situation is proving to be somewhat tricky for him.

"These people have incredibly fast hands..."

He quickly pressed a few more numbers.

It has been discovered that the Black Curse Corps's serial number has already been registered after 1024!

Even larger numbers.

He didn't dare to try anything recklessly.

Hesitating.

A sudden Flash of Inspiration Roger.

He suddenly re-entered the number "Black Curse Group 648".

Then, he gently pressed a space after it.

"Prompt: ID input complete!"

"You can now speak freely in both the squad and team chat channels!"

Get all of this sorted out.

Roger didn't have time to respond to the questions posed by "Raging Blood Corps 2014".

He typed directly in the team chat. "Is it a man or a woman?"

It took quite a while.

The other end tentatively replied, "Female... and you?"

"Profession?"

Roger ignored her.

He just asked directly to himself.

After asking that question.

He kept staring at the "squad channel" that only had the two of them.

Time is of the essence.

The other party does not enter their ID.

Not to mention the teammates getting suspicious.

The countdown for Legion Mode is also coming to an end.

He had to confirm the other person's identity immediately! "Martial Artist."

The other party responded very slowly.

Roger quickly typed the third question on the screen:

"Income?"

The next second.

The person on the other end immediately burst into a tirade. "Roger! It was you!"

"I knew someone would be so insane as to set the difficulty of the levels to such an absurd level!"

"Hey, you're so bad! You couldn't even carry me just now..."

Seeing these words.

Roger frowned slightly.

He immediately smiled in relief.

It really was that scoundrel Griffith! He didn't have time to explain further.

They just sent over an ID that read "Black Curse Corps 811 (with a space)"!

The countdown for Legion Mode is almost over! If you don't enter your ID now, it'll be too late! "Griffith should be able to figure it out by now, right?"

"I wonder who this guy brought with him?"

"Jin? Or Vera?"

I don't know why.

While waiting.

Roger felt a little uneasy.

But he soon wouldn't have a chance to feel anxious anymore.

Because of the next second.

A brand new notification appeared in the public area of the "Team Channel".

"Notification: Your teammate ' Black Curse Corps 811' has joined the chat channel."

"..."

Roger's head is throbbing! Isn't this just a freebie?

As expected.

The other two teammates immediately became suspicious.

"Raging Blood Corps 2014: What does adding a space mean?"

"Edict Order Corps 1981: There are so few people with the Black Curse, it's rare to see two of them assigned to the same team... But I remember there's a fine for violating the numbering rule, right?"

Roger was trying to figure out how to cover it up.

The countdown for Legion Mode has ended.

Legion Mode has officially begun! The team channel has been temporarily closed as a result.

The surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

Roger's perspective was shifted to an overhead view.

Below is an endless starry sky.

This starry sky is very similar to the one in story mode.

The difference is...

Story mode.

The UFO can only maintain a fixed viewpoint and move upwards.

In Legion Mode.

It gained the ability to move freely in all four directions (up, down, left, right) and to turn freely.

This change is actually quite significant for Two-Dimensional World.

It's a completely different game!

"Additional rules for Legion Mode:..."

1. Background Story:

A Space Storm struck a UFO Legion-affiliated Starry Sky Mothership.

In order to avoid the risk of the storm and increase the success rate of escape.

The UFO you are on has been abandoned by the mothership.

Next.

You will face a harsh space environment.

You will encounter treacherous adversaries, mysterious space structures, and exceptionally evil interstellar monsters...

Faced with all of this.

Your only goal is to survive;...

2. Victory conditions:

What if there is only one team left in the entire space?

Then that team will become the true ' Starry Sky Hero '.

At the same time, he was awarded the Starry Sky Hero Medal.

That team will also be given the authority to enable ' Free Mode ';

3. Melee, upgrades, and Space Storm:

You can't trust anyone except your teammates.

You can earn ' Battlefield Points ' by killing enemies.

Battlefield Points can be used to enhance the UFO's firepower in all ' Space Shipyard '.

The Space Storm shrinks in size every 24 hours.

All players will be able to see the shrinking circle one hour in advance.

Please try to move closer to the safe zone.

And to ensure their own survival.

UFOs caught in Space Storm will be destroyed instantly;...

4. Starship Drop Pod: Along the route taken by the mothership.

There may be some Starship Drop Pod that have been missed.

By picking up these Drop Pod.

You may also gain unexpected benefits.

..."

Accompanied by those lines of explanatory text.

Legion Mode has begun!

In the beginning.

All the UFOs were located on a massive starship.

The starship slowly flew from the lower right corner of the starry sky to the upper left corner.

Along the way.

Squads of UFOs were ejected as Escape Pod.

Finally, it fell into the boundless starry sky.

They are surrounded by the vast universe.

Mysterious ruins.

A powerful force.

There are also rivals with their own agendas.

Roger glanced briefly at the description of "Legion Mode".

I was a little stunned. "Isn't this just a space version of PUBG?!"

Lost in thought.

His team's four UFOs were also ejected! A violent change in the field of vision.

By the time he came to his senses...

From Roger's perspective, all that remained were four identical UFOs: red, black, blue, and yellow.

He tried to move.

have to.

I am yellow.

Griffith remains the Red Machine.

The other two teammates are Blue and Black.

The gameplay of Legion Mode differs somewhat from that of Story Mode.

Roger immediately started trying it out on the spot.

He first distanced himself from his teammates.

Then they began firing in all directions.

Beep beep beep beep.

It was accompanied by a crisp sound.

Yellow tip.

Two lines of fire, one long and one short, one thick and one thin, appeared in the starry sky.

Just look at this line of fire.

Roger immediately sensed something was wrong.

On the data panel.

"Notification: Your ' Firepower Burst ' perk is active... Your UFO has received a 60% firepower boost!"

at the same time.

The teammates' questions are also on their way—

"Edict Order Corps 1981: You seem quite skilled?"

"Raging Blood Corps 2014: Why are you flying so fast?"

"Black Curse Corps 811 (with space): Why do you have two?"

See here.

Roger smiled helplessly.

Okay.

The two men in front of him hadn't noticed Roger's unusual firepower.

Griffith's blunder actually made everyone realize the gravity of the situation.

really.

The two people then launched into a series of questions in the team chat.

In response to this.

Roger just sighed silently.

Then I started my own operation.

"Prompt: Confirm 'Friendly Fire Protection' is disabled?"

"Warning: You are attacking a teammate..."

"You shot down ' Edict Order Corps 1981' and ' Raging Blood Corps 2014 '."

You have obtained Talent Shards *2 and Constitution Shard *4

Your Battlefield Points +2

Current number of players online in the team channel: 2/4

"Huh?"

"They even give you fragments like this?"

Roger, who had only intended to temporarily eliminate the potential threat, was taken aback.

You need to know.

This is a renewable Two-Dimensional World! The Legion Mode rules explain it very clearly.

After being shot down.

Players will wait in a rest area separate from the map.

This continued until the end of the entire Legion Mode.

Everyone will exit the Two-Dimensional World together.

In this process.

Human life will not be lost in any way.

In other words...

Roger killing members of the Black Blood Soldier in Legion Mode is essentially killing them twice for nothing!

"The Sin Mark is just too powerful!"

"Then I have to do another round of killing!"

"Hmm, no XP or Honor Points were given..."

Despite being in a state of great excitement.

But Roger remained calm and confirmed some details.

After secretly making up my mind to make a fortune in this Legion Mode.

He then turned his attention back to the battlefield.

After losing the Black and Blue units.

Only Little Red and Little Huang remained in their team.

They appear to be outnumbered and outmatched.

But Roger was very confident.

As long as he takes down Griffith, that jerk.

From now on, no one should be able to hold him back.

It's a foregone conclusion that they will dominate the battlefield.

He quickly spoke into the channel, "Griffith! What's going on?"

"How dare you kidnap my apprentice and swindle so many pigs!"

"You don't really think I'd just leave the Clear Spring Sect to its own devices, do you?"

Griffith responded angrily:

"If Qin could see and not type, I wouldn't bother with you at all."

Roger was slightly taken aback. "It's a harp?"

However, the other party did not dwell on this point.

Very soon.

Griffith then recounted the entire story.

However, when it comes to "cleaners".

He used a bit of subtle writing style.

It wasn't explained very clearly.

Roger knew that the other party must also have some reservations.

She didn't rush to force him to tell her everything in detail.

He had a few more questions about the details of "Legion Mode".

It's not hard to see.

Griffith, that old fox, knew far more about the Astral White Whale and the Moon Simulator than most people did.

From his mouth.

Roger finally understood what the Black Blood Soldier wanted—

"... So, the Free Mode is the real portal to the starry sky?"

"Is the Space Warrior Medal a kind of entry permit to near space?"

"So, the Black Blood Soldier's target is also the moon!"

Roger was slightly surprised.

It was perfectly normal for Griffith to know so much about Mystra.

After all, this guy was once Mystra's sword.

Where did the Black Blood Soldier get their information from? Given Monroe's idiotic behavior...

Roger didn't think the others in the Salvation Society were much better than him.

Only that man!

Thinking of him.

Roger's eyes gradually sharpened.

In the channel.

Griffith continued rambling on, "In short, we must take first place in Legion Mode!"

"I suspect the Black Blood Soldier doesn't even understand the concept of a scavenger; they just heard a rumor from somewhere and are now trying to force their way in!"

"We must not let them get to the moon first!"

In response to this.

Roger nodded.

He finally asked the question that mattered most to him, "Are you controlling the UFO now?"

"Can Qin come up and talk to us?"

"Black Curse Corps 811 (with space)" said proudly:

"Who else could it be but me?"

"She's not available... Oh dear!"

"Stop!"

What are you doing...?

"Hint: You shot down ' Black Curse Corps 811' (plus a space)"

Your Battlefield Points +1

"It would be better if it weren't a zither."

Before the little red machine is completely destroyed.

Roger quickly typed, "I'll contact you when I get out. I'm at the entrance on the second floor. I know you have a way to contact me."

"As for now..."

"Please sacrifice yourself, otherwise you might not be able to get first place!"

They lost three teammates in a row.

Roger felt an extreme sense of physical and mental well-being.

He then shifted his attention to the game.

Starry sky.

The Little Huang plane flew slowly over the edge of the ruins left by its fallen teammates.

They moved in the direction of the first round of shrinking circles.

Not long after.

In the field of vision ahead.

Then, small groups of UFOs appeared.

They definitely look like complete novices.

Even the most basic operations are not very smooth.

Occasionally, I would bump into my teammates.

Seeing this scene.

Roger naturally smiled with satisfaction.

If we don't fire now, when will we? Beep beep beep beep!

Amidst the beautiful sounds of machine guns.

Those two lines of fire, one thick and one thin, began to wreak havoc.

Four hours later.

Roger single-handedly wiped out the entire northwest corner of the battlefield!

Including 3 teammates.

A total of 697 UFOs fell to Roger.

In addition to acquiring a large number of attribute fragments.

Roger also took the opportunity to upgrade the UFO's configuration at a hidden Space Shipyard on the edge of the "Xenogeneic Factory".

The upgraded Little Huang machine no longer has the original thin water pipe!

It now has as many as five fire lines of varying thicknesses.

The attributes have also changed drastically!

Starship UFO

Color: Yellow paint

"Shield/Health: 7/5"

"Standard firepower: Starship Machine Cannon *2, Assault Machine Cannon *2 (Combat version/10 rounds per second/increased width)"

Scatter Cannon *1 (Enhanced Version / 20 rounds per second / 120-degree coverage area)

"Current Ultimate Ability: Summon Bomber Swarm (Governor Only/Summons 19 bomber-version UFOs, each UFO drops 3x3 ' Little Rascal ' bombs onto a flat surface, causing devastating damage)"

Movement Speed: 5.5

Remaining Battlefield Points: 325

This configuration of UFO is incredibly overpowered.

Roger even wanted to take it out of the Two-Dimensional World! Under such fierce firepower.

Even a regular squad couldn't withstand Roger's volley of shots.

that's all.

He flew towards the lower right corner of the star map, following the direction of the shrinking circle.

Not long after.

Ahead lay a cluster of reinforced concrete buildings constructed against the starry sky!...

"Hint: You have discovered the ' Xenogeneic Factory,' one of the six mysterious forces. Do you wish to enter?"

Note: The six mysterious factions in Legion Mode correspond to the six levels in Story Mode.

These include ' Space Orbit ', ' Astral Garden ', ' Meteor Belt ', ' Xenogeneic Factory ', ' Sentry Post ', and ' Moon Surface '.

Challenge the lords in six major levels in neutral mode.

You can also gain additional benefits.

"Um?"

I saw the word "profit".

Roger felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He hesitated for a moment.

Anyway, there was no one around.

"How about we take a look at the factory?" "Or maybe we should forget about it."

"After all, getting first place is more important..."

Roger gritted his teeth.

I was just about to drive my Little Huang car around to take a detour.

Suddenly.

A silvery-white light flashed in the field of vision ahead.

Hint: You have discovered a ' Starship Drop Pod '.

have to.

The Little Huang machine silently took a detour.

They crawled back through a hole in the building next to the Xenogeneic Factory.

Today's was a bit short; I'm still adjusting to my body, please forgive me. But it's roughly done. It will get longer tomorrow and the day after, and it will be quite long from now until the end of the first part (expected in mid-June). That's how it will be, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
