Qinan!? It's actually Qinan? Roger's heart skipped a beat.

Immediately.

He took a deep breath.

A look of relief appeared on his face.

Yes.

If it's Quinan.

Then many things can be explained!

He lowered his head, seemingly deep in thought.

Beya couldn't help but whisper a reminder:

"This is just my guess."

"I encountered some... very bad things in the Black Crystal World."

"Adding to the clues I learned about Khunan before, well, we can't mention His name anymore!"

Roger nodded.

If it's an opponent of Quinan's caliber...

Any careless mention of a name could have bitter consequences.

At present.

Beya took the lead and set up a series of blocking barriers.

Then she beckoned Roger to go inside.

Roger glanced at the peculiar barrier.

"Hint: Beya has set up 13 layers of blocking barriers and 1 temporary Land Divine Kingdom realm."

Note: Within the realm of the Land Divine Kingdom, you are free to use your extraordinary abilities.

"As long as you expand your domain, you can use extraordinary abilities?"

Roger was slightly startled.

How come I didn't know this? Or is it because it requires a sufficiently high rank? Or is it a privilege of Immortal-grade Divine Kingdom Practitioner?

But now is not the time to ask these questions.

At present.

He stepped into the battle formation.

He walked towards Beya.

The latter pressed one of his fingers against his lips.

He spoke in a voice barely audible, "What I am about to say concerns the fate of Quinan and Mystra."

Listen carefully.

"I can only say this once: Quinan chose an extremely peculiar way of Feign Death, and I..."

Under Beya's guidance.

Roger slowly approached her.

The distance between the two was less than a step.

A faint fragrance wafted into his mouth and nose.

Initially.

He simply felt refreshed and invigorated.

It can be done immediately.

A dizzying sensation washed over me—

Whoosh! In the blink of an eye.

A cold, sharp dagger flipped out of her other hand.

Target Roger's lower abdomen!

The dagger came so suddenly.

Roger was given absolutely no room to react.

The gleaming blade was about to Roger Roger's flesh.

But at that very moment...

Two powerful hands suddenly clamped down on the cold, sharp tip of the knife!...

Specialty: Empty-Handed Blade Catch!...

"Snort!"

"Beya" snorted coldly.

She suddenly unleashed a tremendous force with both hands.

It's fortunate that Roger doesn't experience any power level failures on this land.

Therefore.

He simply clenched his tiger's mouth and stabilized that force.

But at that very moment...

He suddenly felt a slippery sensation in his palm.

Roger didn't have time to see it.

His mind's eye had already sensed that the tip of the dagger had been turned into a strangely shaped venomous snake!

The venomous snake moved with incredible speed.

Just once.

It bit Roger's crotch with pinpoint accuracy and deadly force!...

"Call!"

Feeling the chilling sensation emanating from my lower body.

Roger breathed a slight sigh of relief.

fine.

His skin's overall Defense Value are sufficient.

There are also lesser-known techniques like "Shrinking Yang Into Abdomen" to conceal weaknesses!

The venomous snake's bite missed its target!

The next second.

Roger exerted force with both hands.

The Qilin Arm expands automatically.

In the blink of an eye, it tore the ferocious venomous snake to pieces!

"That's the end of it..."

He murmured to himself.

But "Beya," who was right next to them, showed no sign of backing down.

She just smiled gently.

Then she actually hugged him! This was accompanied by her opening her arms to embrace him.

Roger's Sixth Sense started pounding wildly!

"Warning: The Transcendent Energy within the enemy is spiraling out of control!"

"Warning: You have detected that ' Beya ' before you is attempting self-destruction. The energy level of this self-destruction may exceed that of Miniature Forbidden Spell..."

"Hehe..."

"Beya" let out a strange laugh.

Her eyes were filled with resentment and hatred.

He looked like he wanted to die together with Roger.

At a critical moment.

Roger showed no mercy.

He did not try to push the enemy away or dodge to escape.

Because he knew it very well.

Since the enemy has already planned this whole set of sneak attacks.

Then we will definitely take precautions to prevent him from escaping!

Now back off.

This will definitely play into the enemy's hands.

The best course of action now.

We have no choice but to face the challenge head-on!

"Fortunately..."

"I may not have much else, but I have a lot of expertise to prepare for the future!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Roger's eyes.

He quickly withdrew his fist.

Then, in an instant, it struck out like lightning!

That punch did cause some damage.

However, the impact was not severe.

It didn't knock "Beya" away either.

A look of surprise flashed across the latter's face.

He then chuckled a few times.

Her limbs transformed into pythons.

Its overall shape resembled a giant spider, tightly binding Roger in its arms! In that instant.

Roger heard this voice:

"I know that an explosion of this magnitude won't kill you, it can only injure you."

"But a wounded prey is no longer without weaknesses..."

"Hehehe..."

It was a voice that was close to neutral.

It makes it impossible to tell whether someone is male or female.

But it's definitely not Beya! After hearing that.

Roger gave a cold laugh.

He grabbed a python with his superhuman Qilin Arm.

It crushed its neck in one go!

"Injuried?"

"You underestimate me."

"Why don't you just successfully self-destruct first!"

Roger jokingly removed the pythons binding him.

15 seconds later.

A mass of blurred flesh and blood.

The enemy's deformed skeleton has been dismantled.

And after Roger retorted.

The other person then fell silent.

Roger knew.

The enemy was decisive.

After the assassination attempt failed, he decisively gave up on further entanglement.

"He's a troublesome old man."

Roger sighed softly, "Another ' Constantine '!"

"They didn't leave me a single trace!"

He kicked a piece of the foul-smelling skeleton on the ground.

Then I looked at the data panel.

"Log: You used the 'Specialty - Golden Snake Seals Aperture '!"

"You have successfully sealed the enemy's Transcendent Energy and prevented its self-destruction!"

"Hint: You have killed 'Projection 2 of the Eternal Serpent '"

"Extermination Order: You have acquired the special ability from the Eternal Serpent - Dead Men Tell No Tales"

"Dead Men Tell No Tales: When the body possessing this feat dies, its flesh, equipment, items, and everything else will instantly turn into meaningless rotting flesh."

The person who kills you will not get any additional information!

"It really is a case of ' the Dead Men Tell No Tales.'"

Roger remarked with emotion.

If it weren't for the Extermination Order I had issued.

I doubt they even know how the other side did it! That's quite obvious.

This is a specialty for copying to clones and projections.

That old fox Eternal Serpent.

He had indeed made thorough preparations for this scheme against Roger.

fortunately.

Roger was always extremely vigilant.

Fortunately.

He has so many different kinds of expertise.

It is sufficient to handle all kinds of strange and unusual environments.

If it weren't for this ingenious "Golden Snake Seals Aperture" technique...

He might actually be injured by the other party's self-destruction!

Roger felt increasingly frightened as he thought about it.

actually.

The moment "Beya" appeared.

He hesitated for a moment.

It's not that the other party's imitation was bad.

On the contrary.

The Eternal Serpent and the Sea Serpent Queen have a very deep connection.

The former's imitation of Beya thus reached a level of consummate skill.

Roger alone couldn't tell the difference.

What he hesitated about was the projection in front of him—

The defeat was too swift! He couldn't believe that a cunning old Eternal Serpent wouldn't have a backup plan and just throw away a projection! One must understand that in a confrontation of this level...

The roles of fisherman and fished can be reversed in an instant.

Roger's expertise in "multiple predictions" proved effective.

He predicted that the Eternal Serpent would definitely use a series of interconnected strategies.

So the later-appearing Beya might have been a fake! And that's exactly what happened.

As Beya beckoned Roger into the area.

Smith suddenly muttered to Roger, "This isn't the Queen's divine kingdom!"

With this reminder

The subsequent reaction was to be expected.

In general.

The treacherous tricks of the Eternal Serpent have few flaws.

Roger was able to win this round entirely due to his superior strength.

His ever-growing pool of expertise gives him a chance to turn the tide in any situation! But Roger's narrow victory doesn't mean the Eternal Serpent has lost.

After all, in this round of combat...

The latter only paid two projections and clear malice!

Roger wasn't too relaxed.

He circled around in the same spot for a while longer.

After confirming that the Eternal Serpent had no further means.

Roger returned to the cave.

At present.

He summoned Smith.

With great interest, he asked, "How did you determine that it wasn't the Queen's Land Divine Kingdom?"

Smith tilted his head and said:

"It doesn't taste right."

Roger said "Oh".

He immediately followed up with, "What does it taste like?"

Smith explained:

"The aura of that person's Land Divine Kingdom realm was too weak."

"The Queen's needs to be a bit fishier..."

Roger blinked.

He didn't say much.

After thanking Smith.

Roger began to think alone: ...

It's perfectly normal for Eternal Serpent to be hostile towards you.

After all, both the Celestial Gods Race and the Starry Sky God Race have their own ambitions.

These ambitions are often accompanied by unjust acts.

He himself, the Twin Stars Guardian, was the biggest obstacle in their way.

But what was His purpose in this sneak attack? Was it truly just to injure Him, as He claimed? Roger didn't believe it! He didn't believe most of what the Eternal Serpent said.

However, he seemed strangely fixated on the phrase "Quinan!"

I recall that glance we exchanged across the corridor.

Roger's Sixth Sense kicked in.

He rubbed his temples vigorously.

"I asked Him who our enemy is."

"He could just say any name."

Why Qynan?

"Is it just to shock me and make me overthink?"

Roger disagreed.

Is there any possibility...?

Was the mastermind really Quinan? The Eternal Serpent told a thousand lies.

But why did they tell the truth only in this aspect?

Roger became increasingly eager to try it.

Since getting involved in the Ancient Desolate Continent incident.

He always felt that there was a veil between him and everything he did.

It was as if fate had no longer favored him.

It's as if someone with even greater luck has covered up part of the truth.

Roger felt very uncomfortable with the feeling of being led by the nose.

Constrained by various factors.

He had no choice but to compromise.

The compromise has been reached to this point.

He can't even figure out who his enemy is!

For a fleeting moment.

Roger felt an urge: he just wanted to let go of all his worries.

Just kill them all! Yes! Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

Just kill all the troublemakers on this continent!

At that time.

And then no one caused any more trouble!

In my mind.

Roger has already turned the Ancient Desolate Continent into a bloodbath.

The Celestial Gods Race and the Starry Sky God Race were severely weakened by his attacks.

Almost no one survived!

But fantasy is just fantasy.

Back to reality.

Roger remained absolutely calm.

After patiently thinking it over.

He decided to unleash his signature move—

Flip the table!

What mastermind behind it all! What elaborate scheme! Just flip the chessboard over and you'll know what he's up to! Roger analyzed calmly.

There's a technique to flipping a table.

We can't just make things up randomly.

Otherwise, you'll only hurt yourself.

Very soon.

He then identified a breakthrough point.

to this end.

Roger summoned Smith again. "Do you know how to get into the depths of space?"

The latter was taken aback. "Are you crazy?"

Roger said in a deep voice, "Answer me!"

Smith hesitated for a moment.

He said timidly, "The Starry Sky God Race were banished from the Ancient Desolate Continent. Of course, there are paths leading to the depths of the starry sky here. In the Totem Realm, there is a Sealed Road that the gods once traversed..."

Roger listened for a while.

I roughly understand that I want to re-enter the depths of the starry sky.

Simply retracing the "Sealed Road" will suffice.

That road shouldn't be too dangerous.

There was hardly anyone around.

After all, people like Roger who want to enter a world with a high concentration of Aberrant Matter are ultimately a minority.

Theoretically speaking.

Returning from the starry sky was difficult.

But traveling to the stars is much simpler.

Smith knew where the entrance to the starry sky in the Totem Realm was.

Roger wanted to go there.

It's incredibly easy.

"That's the decision!"

"Enter the starry sky!"

Roger no longer hesitated.

The Eternal Serpent likes to hide and conceal itself, right?

Then he would just go into space and arrest him! However...

We must not rush into things.

We must catch the opponent off guard.

And before that.

Roger still needs to make some preparations.

The most important preparation.

It's Second Ascension!

A comprehensive plan was quickly formulated.

Roger remained seated in the underground cave.

The next second.

He flipped his palm over.

A summoning ring appeared in his palm.

That was a gift Alan gave him before he left.

Alan told him that at the time.

If you need help.

Then turn the ring.

The Second Ascension is not as dangerous as the first promotion.

However, it was also a relatively weak period.

Roger definitely needs some help.

"Although Alan's views have changed, his stance on justice and order remains the same, and his current strength is quite formidable; he's no weaker than me..."

Roger believed.

With Alan's protection.

I'm sure I'll be promoted safely.

So he gently put on the ring.

A gentle, warm light appeared before Roger's eyes.

Not long after.

A warm, deep male voice rang in his ear:

Do you need help?

"Child..."

"Notification: You have activated the 'Summoning Ring (Celestial Artifact)'"

"You have summoned the supreme being of the heavens, the guardian statue of the gods!"

"You have encountered 'Oul' (LV199/Guardian Statue/Celestial Template/Lord of the Divine Kingdom/Supreme Being of the Celestial Realm...)"

"Wow!"

Roger's mouth gaped open in an "O" shape! He thought it would be Alan himself who was coming.

Who would have thought that the ring Alan gave him would summon such a super-strong man! The next second.

His heart began to ache faintly! "What a loss..."

"What a huge loss..."

I glanced at the data bar and saw the message "Duration: 72 hours".

Roger felt like he couldn't breathe.
