The Deathmatch System's Decisiveness

Perhaps it's because more System Authority have been acquired, or perhaps there's a difference in the amount of data required for System Authority.

In short, reading [writing] is much faster than reading [disabling].

As Lu Bai finished speaking...

A vast darkness descended, and in an instant, the entire sky was dyed a deep, inky black.

[Written], Reading complete.

Just as Lu Bai said, Old Ancestor Blood River missed his last chance to kill him.

Having acquired [Write], Lu Bai now possesses the following black-level abilities: [Load Save], [Restore], [Disable], and [Write].

With these four System Authority combined, even if the Deathmatch System granted all remaining System Authority to the Old Ancestor Blood River, it would be difficult for him to threaten Lu Bai.

Thanks to [writing], Lu Bai can now use abilities below the color level without even needing to look at the content of the abilities.

He only needs a shell of an ability; he can easily create the specific function of the ability on the spot.

Whether in terms of capability or higher-level authority, nothing can threaten him anymore.

If before this, Lu Bai was merely a virus hidden within the system program, a newly sprouted seed, then at the moment of reading and [writing], this virus had grown into a towering tree.

The Old Ancestor Blood River antivirus program that the Deathmatch System found in the Deathmatch Arena could no longer pose a threat to him.

Furthermore, Lu Bai could now vaguely sense the number of System Authority.

It wasn't a definitive statement, but rather a kind of intuition or premonition.

The complete Deathmatch System consists of a total of eleven System Authority.

Lu Bai now possesses nearly half of the System Authority, and there's no problem with his claim that the Mini Deathmatch System is working correctly.

As darkness surged forth, in an instant, the ground beneath Lu Bai's feet seemed to transform into a completely black expanse, and even the raging floodwaters were quickly covered by darkness.

This is the effect of [Ink Dye], but the power that calmed the flood was clearly not just [Ink Dye].

Upon seeing this, the Old Ancestor Blood River's face turned deathly pale.

He does possess two black-level abilities provided by the Deathmatch System, but unfortunately, the effects of these two System Authority are insufficient to change the current situation.

Old Ancestor Blood River roared inwardly, urging the Deathmatch System alarm to grant it more permissions.

Unfortunately, the Deathmatch System seems to have given up and is no longer providing him with any assistance.

Moreover, the power belonging to the System Authority actually affected the Old Ancestor Blood River.

He could feel that his actions were being restrained by an irresistible force, and even the power he had cultivated through demonic techniques was being suppressed.

This is the will of the Deathmatch System.

Both the various levels of abilities previously granted to the Old Ancestor Blood River and the two remaining System Authority are being revoked.

The points of light representing power above the Old Ancestor Blood River's head dimmed in large patches.

Lu Bai noticed this immediately. "Give up?"

He truly hadn't expected the Deathmatch System to be so decisive; he had deliberately left himself room to struggle.

System Authority that have been locked by [loading save] cannot be revoked.

Moreover, the target of [loading the save] has long been changed to [viewing], and it's only a matter of time before the loading progress bar finishes, so he's not worried about that.

Those tens of thousands of abilities at various levels are of no use to him now.

The problem is that, besides [View], Old Ancestor Blood River also has another type of System Authority.

If it's recycled, and the Deathmatch System doesn't have a physical form, where is Lu Bai supposed to retrieve it?

As the vessel of the system's will, Old Ancestor Blood River could clearly feel his power leaving him when the Deathmatch System abandoned him.

Being powerless to stop all of this from happening, and gradually becoming an ordinary person, was truly a despairing experience for the Old Ancestor Blood River.

As it turns out, even the power he believed he had painstakingly cultivated through Demonic Arts was actually a gift from the Deathmatch System.

He had never felt so weak before, and he had even lost the ability to fight Lu Bai to the death.

Under Lu Bai's gaze, the Old Ancestor Blood River slumped to the ground in dejection, his eyes lifeless.

Lu Bai suddenly lost the desire to talk to this powerful demonic cultivator. He looked up and glanced around.

In the distance, in the sky not yet completely shrouded in darkness, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

At the edge of the dark earth, muddy floodwaters surged.

This apocalyptic scene, however, could not affect the area covered in darkness.

"I still need to settle scores with the Deathmatch System. I'm not in the mood for these trivial matters. This chaos should end here."

Lu Bai spoke calmly, yet it was as if he were issuing a decree to the world.

Centered on his location, a strange, mixed energy swept out, instantly covering the entire globe.

This energy froze nature's destructive impulses, even causing the planet itself, which had accelerated its rotation due to the loss of the moon, to return to its original rotation speed under its influence.

In the blink of an eye,

The wind is calm and the waves are still.

While color-level abilities are strictly speaking the highest level of abilities that deathmatchers can obtain, there is still a clear upper limit to this level of ability.

Even when using the [modify] permission, a balance must be struck. If an ability is given an overpowered effect, then corresponding side effects must be added to limit it.

Therefore, to achieve this level, it is necessary to combine several color-level abilities.

However, this poses no challenge for Lu Bai at present.

New City.

At the entrance of the underground refuge project, Li Shan, who had been guiding people to safety, stood frozen in place, as if petrified.

He is not an isolated case.

In fact, almost everyone behaves in a similar way.

Shock and bewilderment filled the hearts of countless people.

Isn't this the end of the world?

Why did things suddenly calm down?

Everyone witnessed the moon disappearing and felt the commotion of the impending apocalypse. Lu Bai was even being hunted down by a powerful enemy.

Is this... the end?

The beeping of the walkie-talkie jolted Li Shan awake, and he mechanically pressed the call button.

"Li Shan, did you feel it? Everything has stopped. Lu Bai won?" Feng Yixuan's voice was crackling with electricity, making it unclear.

Li Shan swallowed hard. "Perhaps we shouldn't call Mr. Lü by his first name anymore."

He could imagine that even if the Old Ancestor Blood River possessed such power, he wouldn't care about the lives of countless people.

The reversal of this ecological degradation could only be the work of Lu Bai.

It was a very simple guess, yet it evoked endless emotions in him.

Such power would likely be something even the Mona civilization would fear.
