The Fate Weaver! Stop Pretending! I Saw Everything!
Cheng Shi slowly processed everything he had seen that day, his mind reeling as he followed Hu Wei toward the giant wall.
He looked at the imposing, towering wall, still filled with doubt.
"Can a man-made wall really stop Him?"
But he didn't ask, because there was a Folly Believer there who was even more eager for knowledge than he was.
Yan Chun asked the question before Cheng Shi could.
Ha, these "Wise One" who lock themselves in their "Tower of Civilization Isolation" and never share with others are quite eager to seize what others share.
"Obstruction?"
Of course not.
Discarded Divine Artifact are merely creations of a deity, how could they possibly obstruct another deity?
They were simply using this giant wall as another form of warning.
Because once "He" breaks in, this giant wall will collapse, burying all the Experiment data and leaving the "thief" who came with high hopes disappointed.
Therefore, the Wall of True Knowledge is never meant to prevent the ignorant from entering, but rather to destroy true knowledge and to disgust [Deception].
Scholar who pursue the Truth are using this method to resist His wanton manipulation.
But who knows if He might see all of this as a different kind of amusement?
Hu Wei's laughter was laced with sarcasm; he mocked both "Truth" and "Folly."
"You [Folly] people also Mortal World the great creation of the 'Wall of True Knowledge' in the world when you rebuilt the tower in the Chaos Era, but you used it in the wrong place."
Haha, I have to say, this is quite amusing.
I just don't know if He foresaw it.
Alright, that's enough for history class. Now it's time for recess.
As he spoke, Hu Wei rolled up his sleeves and drew his War Greatsword once again.
His aura suddenly surged, and he became like a drawn blade, his expression solemn as he looked at the blurry figure in a corner below the giant wall.
Cheng Shi followed his gaze and discovered that there was actually a person hiding under this giant wall!
No, not just one, but a whole group!
They were hidden in the blinding backlight, almost blending into the blind spot. If Hu Wei hadn't set up his stance, Cheng Shi wouldn't have noticed that there was a group of people there.
However, these "people" lacked any vitality; upon closer inspection, they didn't seem like people at all, but rather like...
Puppet?
A bunch of puppets guarding the city walls!?
Since the towering walls were meant to block the God of Merriment, there must also be defensive measures to prevent other villains from getting close to them, and puppets are undoubtedly the best choice.
As the puppets slowly stood up and moved away from the base of the wall, Cheng Shi frowned and quietly pulled two warriors to his side.
"The pinnacle creation of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the most outstanding War Machine of the Tower of Reason, the War Machine Soldier."
In the later stages of the Civilization Era, these creations were deployed in large numbers on the battlefields against the [War] Nation, bringing considerable strategic advantages to the Tower of Reason.
However, at this stage of our Trials, the weapons had not yet been mass-produced and remained a crucial security force in each Experiment zone.
As Hu Wei finished speaking, one after another, the War Machine Soldier from the base of the giant wall and moved with mechanical steps to surround the group.
These so-called War Machine Soldier are almost identical in structure to the human body, except that their heads have been replaced with a sturdy metal block. Their overall skeletal framework is almost designed to resemble a human.
However, these skeletons do not have flesh and blood growing on them, nor are they connected by energy wires as seen in science fiction movies.
They are just simple metal frames, yet they possess a mindset and fighting spirit comparable to real soldiers.
Moreover, these attacking soldiers have already spotted the enemy!
The slow pace began to quicken.
Within a few breaths, a "human tide" composed of weapons charged toward the players.
The spears in their hands were far more dazzling than those of the knights' guard, and their figures were far more agile than those of ordinary soldiers. It seemed that in just a few seconds, a dense volley of spears would reach them.
"Creations tainted by 'Mechanical Truth' are in a class of strength in terms of mechanical bodies. We can't dismantle and annihilate all the attacking soldiers. As long as we can shake them off and get under the giant wall, we will have won!"
"Watch my position, and this time, stick close!"
Hu Wei was clearly not giving a lecture; he simply wanted his "soldiers" to fully understand the enemy and then follow him to defeat it.
"Mark the bearings, 2 o'clock to the right front, charge!"
After a roar, the two saw a blood-red figure burst into the distance, wielding a greatsword. Each swing struck the attack points of the War Machine Soldier, deflecting the killing moves of more than a dozen soldiers along the way. Then, a towering wall of fire was left on both sides of the charging path.
Seeing this inhuman explosive power, both Cheng Shi and Yan Chun's gazes sharpened.
This Grand Marshal's affinity for fire is terrifyingly strong.
The flames surging from his entire body didn't seem like his elemental companions at all, but rather like soldiers obeying military orders!
"Don't just stand there, charge!"
These were Yan Chun's words. The scene before them was nothing like being in the city, where people could joke and wait for each other. On the battlefield, even a second's delay could Change the course of the battle.
So the Folly warrior immediately drew his lance, swung it with all his might, and built a crescent-shaped Wall of True Knowledge on both sides of the fiery passage.
Cheng Shi dared not slack off in the slightest. He gritted his teeth and followed closely behind the Wall Knight.
However, a healer is still a healer. Without any professional physical enhancements or the help of any charge talent, Cheng Shi soon found himself falling behind.
He was in good condition and had plenty of Divine Power; he was simply at a disadvantage in terms of speed.
But Hu Wei wielded a giant sword to clear a path ahead, and Yan Chun stabilized the passage along the trail of flames. No one could sing him a Qin Chaoge did in the previous game, or transform into the wind to blow him away like a wandering knight.
So as they ran, Cheng Shi fell behind.
The pursuing War Machine Soldier were about to close in.
With a grave expression, Cheng Shi had no choice but to raise his hand, preparing to unleash his ring in order to protect himself.
He didn't want to reveal the power of Thunderbolt too early, but the situation forced him to, and sometimes you can't simply choose not to use it.
The problem is that there wasn't enough nourishment for fear this time. The only Screaming Maw that lit up was contributed by that awful man from the beginning.
If we use it here, what happens afterwards?
Cheng Shi gritted his teeth and ran for a while longer, but when he saw that the mechanical spear in the hands of the attacking soldiers behind him was about to pierce his back, he had no choice but to save his life first.
So he reached out his hand...
They grabbed at Yan Chun, who was far ahead!
Cheng Shi did not choose to use the ring, but instead ran while gently grabbing at Yan Chun in the Void.
But before he could finish the grasping motion, a lance shot towards him, grazing Cheng Shi's scalp and piercing the body of the nearest War Machine Soldier behind him, pinning it firmly to the ground.
At the same time, a Wall of True Knowledge was built behind Cheng Shi, keeping a dozen or so ignorant soldiers out!
Sensing the threat behind him dissipate, Cheng Shi withdrew his hand and continued running forward with his head down.
Yan Chun stopped and turned around with a grim expression, looking at Cheng Shi who was rushing towards her, and said through gritted teeth:
"What do you want?! You want to trade our Destiny?"
Cheng Shi glanced at him sideways, pretended not to hear, and kept running!
"I'm your teammate! You actually want me to die in your place?"
Yan Chun was furious. His eyes blazed with rage as he glared at Cheng Shi, wishing he could shoot him!
Cheng Shi ran closer, panting, he looked up and asked:
"What? What did you say?"
I almost wanted you to die in my place! I just tripped and needed to call you to help me up. Huff Huff
This is exhausting.
"Fate Weaver! Stop pretending! I saw everything!"
You want to trade my Destiny for yours, to die in your place!
Seeing that Cheng Shi had overtaken him, Yan Chun angrily swung his spear to repel the surrounding soldiers, and then quickly followed, but his eyes were fixed on Cheng Shi's hand, as if he was afraid that Cheng Shi would suddenly change his Destiny.
Cheng Shi sneered and said:
"So you can see me after all. I thought you'd forgotten you had a teammate behind you."
