Chapter 2646 / Chapter 2647 ...

He suddenly loosened his grip and forcefully threw the die downwards.

The die, enveloped in a faint halo, pierced through a large Swarm with unstoppable momentum, carving a path through the sea of insects and flying towards the top of the Haiyuan TV Tower.

"Guiji! Are you blind?! I'm right here! Where did you throw your legacy?!" Old Audi was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed drastically.

"The legacy is naturally meant for Himeko, the navigator of the Astral Express. You don't mean for you, do you?" Only the upper body remained of Guiji, but her voice remained incredibly composed.

"What?! How could you aid the enemy?!" Old Audi's voice almost cracked.

"What are you talking about? Aren't I in cahoots with the Astral Express? Didn't I tell you already? My wish is to resurrect A Kivili." Guiji's tone even carried a hint of incomprehension, as if Old Audi was the one who was out of his mind.

Of course, if he could kill the Astral Express and then resurrect A Kivili himself, Guiji wouldn't mind at all.

"Huh?" Old Audi looked at Guiji in disbelief.

"Besides, this legacy of mine is the legacy of a navigator. You're not a navigator, so you can't use it. You're not even Nameless Guest," Guiji added.

Since the time Wojian the Stargazer, the Astral Express has maintained a tradition of Nameless Guest known as "Cosmic Monopoly".

This is a ritual, the purpose of which is to gather and bring good fortune, thereby making Path of Trailblaze even stronger.

The reason for inventing this ritual is that after the fall of the Trailblaze Aeon, Trailblaze became increasingly difficult. The Nameless Guest created this tradition in order to unite their strength.

If one had to pinpoint it, this would be the only achievement related to inheritance that Guiji left behind.

The gameplay of this Cosmic Monopoly involves rolling dice and moving the pieces on a grid. When an event occurs, rolling the dice determines the success rate and outcome of the event.

This game has been passed down from generation to generation since its invention, through countless Nameless Guest, and continues to this day.

"So you understand now? It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but it wouldn't do you any good anyway." Guiji now only has his neck and above remaining, but his tone remains calm.

Old Audi looked at Guiji, whose only remaining feature was a head with a smile still lingering on it, and laughed.

He was so angry he laughed.

Why am I always the one who gets hurt?

No... or rather, why am I the only one who gets hurt?

Meanwhile, atop the Haiyuan TV Tower, Himeko stared into deep thought as she looked at the dice that had landed in front of her.

Could that old bastard Guiji have tampered with the dice?

P. S.: The post and comment section are temporarily disabled. The editor said it's suspected that some sensitive words were mentioned. But it's only suspected... I just hope it will be released soon.

I never dreamed I would suffer such a misfortune.

Chapter ID: 114992015

Guiji died. He ultimately met a dramatic end.

However, before disappearing in the end, thanks to his extraordinary talent, he left the world with a giant middle finger.

Towards the entire New Penacony, towards everyone in this world...

All I can say is that having hands growing out of one's neck is truly the greatest maneuver of the Amber Era 2158! It was definitely too ahead of its time.

With his Guiji, no one was more grief-stricken than Old Audi.

"You damned Guiji! Are you even human?!" Old Audi roared, cursing.

Leaving aside the fact that after the alliance was reached, Old Audi his heart out to Guiji, yet Guiji betrayed him...

Even just that final, heart-wrenching moment before the opponent died was enough to make Old Audi almost break down.

Although Old Audi indeed consider betrayal Guiji, didn't he ultimately refrain from doing so?

There's a world of difference between wanting to do something and actually doing it, okay?

With his death in Guiji, Old Audi's dreams, desires, yearnings, and faith were reduced to ashes.

Because the death of Guiji meant that Old Audi had no more allies.

Whether it was genuine or feigned, no one would share Old Audi's wish anymore. He could no longer even hold onto any hope.

Prior to this, the probability of Guiji keeping his promise was not very high, but it was not impossible.

And now... Old Audi turned his gaze to the crowd at the Haiyuan TV Tower, who were staring at him with unfriendly expressions.

Well, I have a feeling that reconciliation might be a bit difficult.

Even more deadly was that the die that Guiji had just thrown had blown up a passage through all the insects that Old Audi had specially surrounded with Swarms, leading to the top of the Haiyuan TV Tower.

So now even Old Audi's hiding place has been exposed.

"Um... is it possible to reconcile?" Although he felt it was difficult, Old Audi still tentatively forced a stiff smile and asked.

"Are you joking at this moment?" The Robin looked at Old Audi and shook his head slightly.

"Now that things have come to this, you've chosen this path yourself." Old Audi Xingchao raised his middle finger and said provocatively.

"Fine, fine, then don't blame me!" Seeing that no one was willing to accept his surrender, Old Audi was so angry that he laughed, his expression instantly changing from ingratiating to ferocious.

"Wow, what's this guy up to? Is he planning to fight us to the death?" March 7th looked at Old Audi's hysterical state and shrank back uneasyly.

Upon hearing March 7th's words, everyone turned to look at March 7th again.

As everyone knows, the mouth of March 7th is truly something special.

Old Audi raised his head and looked up at the Propagation Aeon in the sky, who was fighting against the Harmony Aeon. His expression gradually became ferocious.

"Great Propagation Aeon! Show these foolish beings your true power! Backup Hidden Energy Source... activate!" Old Audi roared, spreading his arms wide.

As Old Audi finished speaking, the sky changed.

The Propagation Aeon, whose eyes were originally shaped like pink hearts, suddenly shattered them, replaced by a blood-red hue, radiating a violent aura completely different from before.

At the same time, as if sensing the change in the will of the Propagation Aeon, the Swarms throughout the entire New Penacony region suddenly became restless.

Chapter 2647

The insects, which had been devouring each other due to the interference of the Harmony Aeon, stopped what they were doing and began to tremble in an almost convulsive manner.

"Haha! Since I can't live, then let's all die together!" Old Audi looked at the crowd below and laughed loudly.

"Huh? What's going on? Didn't that Old Audi lose his Command Spell? Why can he still control the Propagation Aeon?" March 7th stared wide-eyed in surprise.

"Haha! Who said you can't control Servant without Command Spell?" Old Audi laughed even more wildly after hearing March 7th's somewhat naive statement.

Putting aside the character of the Old Audi, he was still a man of exceptional talent.

Although Old Audi couldn't command the noble Aeon Propagation Aeon Tzivros at will, and didn't have Command Spell at the moment, that didn't stop Old Audi from storing Command Spell in advance.

The first death of the Propagation Aeon occurred on the fourth night of the Holy Grail War, after Firefly summoned him, only to be blocked at the entrance of the Hall of Heroes by Chen Li and kicked to death.

On that very day, the Old Audi, who had made a pact with the Propagation Aeon, used his three Command Spell to resurrect the Propagation Aeon.

Subsequently, Old Audi's Command Spell began to regenerate at a rate of one per day.

One is restored on the fifth day, one on the sixth day, and one on the seventh day.

It's actually the eighth day now.

In other words, Old Audi should have had four Command Spell. However, the maximum number of Command Spell a person can possess is only three, so he had all his Command Spell replenished by the night of the seventh day.

For a capitalist like Old Audi, the idea of letting Command Spell Seals go to waste is simply impossible.

Since we have something that we can use for free every day, we naturally want to maximize its utilization.

So after a moment's thought, on the night of the seventh day, Old Audi used a Command Spell to "admonish" the Propagation Aeon... granting Old Audi the right to remonstrate with the Propagation Aeon.

It can also be viewed as a form of storage for Command Spell.

In general, such cleverness has limited effect. This is because Command Spell are not omnipotent; the Old Audi only possessed the right to advise, not the right to issue orders.

But the Propagation Aeon has no brains.

Therefore, this method of storing Command Spell is only highly effective when used to Propagation Aeon. It is completely useless for other Aeon.

As Old Audi commanded, the Swarm grew increasingly ferocious. Their bodies began to glow red, one by one, in swathes, in layers, like countless bombs with lit fuses, flashing an ominous crimson light in the sky.

"Wow... no way? Are these bugs planning to self-destruct?" March 7th couldn't help but shrink back, his voice trembling slightly.

"There must be at least several billion bugs in the entire New Penacony now... If several billion bugs were to self-destruct at once, the resulting damage... Has Old Audi gone mad? Wasn't it said that Old Audi would pay for all the damage caused by the Swarm?" March 7th's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost a mutter.

Although dying in the New Penacony isn't considered a real death, March 7th wouldn't want to die if he could.

That must hurt so much.

The scene of billions of self-propelled trucks gathering together and detonating simultaneously is something even March 7th couldn't have imagined.

More importantly, most of these billions of self-propelled trucks are now concentrated in Duality Paradise.

If this were to explode, not only would Duality Paradise be torn apart, but the New Penacony below would likely also suffer heavy losses.

"Perhaps it's because they've run out of options, so they've decided to give up entirely," the Robin said, frowning.

You really can't push someone too far, or you'll never know what they might do.

Or it would be best to Cut the Weeds and Eliminate the Roots completely.

"Himeko, didn't Guiji just throw a die in front of you? What's that die for? Can it solve our current problem?" Xing turned to Himeko and asked curiously.

"This die... can determine the direction of events by rolling different numbers." Himeko said after examining the faintly glowing die in her hand for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.

"That sounds like it would be very useful. And Guiji was Aeon just now, so could his dice be used to interfere with this self-destruction?" Xing's eyes lit up as he pressed for an answer.

Himeko didn't answer immediately. Instead, she gripped the dice tightly in her hand and looked up at the sky.

Above the sky, a chilling crimson expanse stretched out.

With Old Audi's advice taking effect, almost all the Swarms activated their Backup Hidden Energy Source, and their bodies gradually began to turn red. The dense red dots, like countless eyes about to open, filled the entire sky.

Perhaps self-destruction requires a period of preparation.

It's also possible that, as a turn-based game, it requires a sufficient number of action points before these insects can make their next move.

Faced with this situation, even the Harmony Aeon did not act rashly, because it was difficult to determine whether taking action now would directly detonate these insects.

While pre-detonation might reduce the explosive power, the self-destruction of billions of insects, even at its weakest, would still be enough to Destruction Duality Paradise. Even if Duality Paradise were to crash, it would still inflict Destruction damage on New Penacony below.

So it might be better to delay for a while and see if others have a better solution.

As Himeko intently stared at the Swarm about to self-destruct in the sky, something strange appeared in her field of vision.

There were four options suspended in mid-air, composed of pale gold text.

Option 1: Premature self-destruction, with reduced destructive power. (Success rate 23%)

Option 2: Normal self-destruction. (Success rate 33%)

Option 3: Art is Explosion; the explosive power increases. (41% success rate)

Option 4: Successfully prevent the explosion. (Success rate 1%)

Himeko frowned slightly as she looked at the four options.

"It's worth a try. It might work, but if we try... there's a greater than one-third chance it will increase the power of the explosion," Himeko said after a moment's thought.

"There's no better way now. Let's give it a try." The Robin nodded.

Moreover, New Penacony is Chen Li's territory. If Chen Li is willing to take action, even if the explosive power increases, Chen Li can still handle it smoothly. But if Chen Li doesn't take action... then even a normal self-destruction would be enough to cause a huge uproar in New Penacony.

Himeko nodded and gripped the dice tightly in her hand.

But just as she was about to throw the dice into the air, a voice suddenly rang out in the sky above the Duality Paradise.

"Have you heard the children's cries of despair? Have you felt the city crumbling? Have you not noticed the sneers of those who have succeeded in their schemes? Have you considered that friends are no longer friends, and homes are no longer homes?"

A voice came from the sky, far above the Swarm, and echoed throughout the entire Duality Paradise.

"Does this voice sound familiar?" Xing scratched his head, somewhat uncertainly.

Hearing the sound, everyone looked up and saw a bright green meteor falling from the sky, higher than the Swarm, trailing a long green tail of flame, rushing towards the Swarm with unstoppable momentum and astonishing speed.

Almost the instant everyone looked up, the meteor struck the outermost Swarm with lightning speed.

"Boom!"

A dull thud resounded in mid-air, accompanied by the sound of numerous insect shells shattering.

Chapter 2648

As the kinetic energy of the meteor dissipated, everyone finally saw its true form.

It was a tall, mechanical armor, predominantly white, with glowing green flames burning from its joints and back thrusters. The armor's overall lines were sharp and fluid, exuding a clean and powerful aura that stood out from the surrounding Swarm.
