Unexpected Visitor!

What exactly are Alos's abilities?

The I Ching had already discovered a clue when it was on Earth. From the very beginning, Alos announced to all sequences that his ability was to nullify all abilities.

Of course, this does not include Absolute Trait.

For this reason, the Night King Alos became the undisputed strongest of the order.

However, Alos's abilities failed during the battle with Bai Ye.

Alos himself explained afterward that Bai Ye's ability neutralized his ability, but is that really the truth?

After Yi Jing refined Bai Ye's abilities, he noticed something amiss: Bai Ye seemed to lack the means to counter Alos.

In this game, Alos claimed that he had obtained a potion that evolved his abilities, allowing him to create incredibly strong familiars and also reach the Third Tier High Rank.

But...

Why does he always have to say it out loud?

"Does that mean you can't use it if you don't tell me?"

Yi Jing chuckled lightly, while the Sword Forger seemed somewhat puzzled. "The sword I gave Five Ghosts doesn't have any special abilities. Can he really use this sword to kill Night King Alos?"

The I Ching: "What if?"

Sword Forger: "What if?"

Alos's abilities may have been a huge deception from the very beginning.

According to the I Ching, Alos's abilities are probably related to those of Father Buddha and the other two, both being related to cognition.

If that's the case, then the mystery of Alos's invincibility...

Um?

As Yi Jing pondered this, he suddenly frowned. He turned his head sharply and saw that the space behind him had suddenly been cut open with a crack!

Immediately afterwards, a figure emerged from the crack.

Upon seeing the newcomer, both Yi Jing and the Sword Forger were stunned.

"Arthur?"

"Um?"

Arthur, who peeked out from the crack, was also taken aback. "Old Sword, the I Ching, so... we've found the right place this time?"

Upon hearing this, Arthur whistled, and the next second a group of people burst out from inside.

The Sword Forger quickly retreated, while Arthur continued to tear open the crack, and hundreds of people emerged from it.

Centaur, Thousand Throat, and Arthur—all three of them are here.

What... what's going on?

The Sword Forger was getting a little confused. The crack closed, and Arthur plopped down on the steel bars next to him.

"We've finally found you! You have no idea what we've been through all these years!"

Upon seeing the Sword Forger and the I Ching, Arthur immediately began to pour out his grievances.

Arthur said that he first lived on the coast of the Central Continent, next to gamblers, and had been developing steadily and peacefully ever since.

One day, an army suddenly emerged from the sea – it was Li Yuan's army (002).

Seeing that things were going badly, gambler Zhang Yuanqing quickly ran away to find Arthur, but Arthur was no match for the Ocean Army, so he could only continue running upwards.

Finally, by sheer coincidence, they encountered the Centaur and Thousandthroat, who were with the Elves and fighting the Decapitator.

The situation then evolved into a joint campaign by the Ocean Army, the Death God Army, and the Golden Army of the Insects against the Elf Empire.

Finally, the elves were driven to desperation and killed the gambler. Arthur then cut through space and led everyone to flee the elven city overnight.

After that, they have been hiding on the mainland, their numbers dwindling from a few thousand at the beginning to just a few hundred now. It has been incredibly difficult for them.

Moreover, the Central Continent was engulfed in war more than a decade ago, with battles raging everywhere. Arthur and his companions could only eke out a living amidst the chaos of warring factions, and they had been trying to find 009 and his crew.

Even today.

The I Ching says, "But 009 is not here."

Arthur: "What?"

"Where is this?"

The I Ching: "Anti-009 Alliance".

Arthur: "And you guys?"

The I Ching: "One of the members".

Upon hearing this, Arthur immediately drew his dagger and pointed it at the Sword Forger. "Come on, enough talk, draw your sword, it's just you and me!"

Upon seeing this, Yi Jing smiled faintly and said, "Arthur, don't be so short-tempered. You should think more about it. The fact that I didn't order people to arrest you the moment you appeared is enough to show my attitude."

The men stepped forward and pressed down on Arthur's wrist. "Arthur, let them finish speaking first."

The I Ching says, "009, Father, Nairasojin, Lord of Flesh and Blood, they are on this land, and they have already joined together."

"Currently, half of the sequences on this continent have united to fight against 009."

Half a sequence?

Centaur: "So you mean you're now fighting the boss with them too?"

Arthur: "So, you mean the boss is currently taking on half the continent's sequence all by himself?!"

Qianhou: "... Where is this?"

The black and white eyes of the I Ching flashed, "I can answer your questions one by one."

"First, this is not the continent you are talking about; this is another continent."

"Secondly, 009 is not taking on half a continent's worth of sequences, but rather almost all of them on this continent."

"Because in the previous war, many sequences on the Outer Sea Continent have died. Apart from the sequences that are still neutral, most of the rest are here."

"Third, I don't want to help these people deal with 009, for two reasons."

"First of all, the internal situation of the alliance is unstable and there are signs of collapse. The building is about to fall, and no egg can remain intact when the nest is overturned. Staying here is destined to have no future."

"Secondly, even if the alliance wins, we will always be a group of unrelated people who come together for profit and disperse when the profit is gone."

"Alliances based on self-interest are incredibly fragile. Ultimately, we were all once members of the Chaos Splitter. If we must choose one side to win..."

"Then why not choose the Chaos Splitter?"

"Or rather, what reason would I have not to choose the Chaos Splitter?"

"This alliance, which we have built together, not only represents our past, but I think that needs no further explanation."

Centaur: "So you joined this alliance to destroy them from within?"

The I Ching says, "That's right."

"If the plan goes smoothly, the crown of the Night King Alos, as well as the crown of the Five Ghosts, will belong to us."

The two crowns were given as a gift to 009, and the I Ching made an emergency turn back to the Chaos Splitter.

009 was overjoyed to receive two crowns for free, and the previous grudges naturally disappeared.

The previous actions of the I Ching thus became part of the plan to help 009 achieve his great cause, and thus infiltrate the enemy's ranks to dismantle the fortress from within.

The plan is good, but it all depends on him getting two crowns.

If the I Ching fails to obtain the two crowns and runs back to 009, then it's like a failed rebellion turning back to beg for mercy.

These two are different in nature.

The sudden arrival of Arthur and his two companions was good news for the I Ching.

Arthur, Centaur, and Thousand Throat are all Tier 3, and top-tier Tier 3 combatants at that. With their assistance, Yi Jing's plan will undoubtedly proceed more smoothly.
