Is There Still a Chance?

"The world has always been cruel. If you treat the world with kindness, the world will only treat you more cruelly."

"If you pray for the favor of fate, you will only be fooled by it. So if fate wants to make me wish I were dead, I will seize fate by the throat and make it submit first."

Without the courage to burn one's bridges, there is no sunshine after the storm; without extraordinary means, there is no wealth to be made.

Destiny is not something you wait for; destiny is something you seize!

A world without killing, without death, without strife is like an ideal utopia, desirable but unattainable.

Even if there is a path that leads to this utopia, it must be the most cruel and bloody one!

Peace always follows war; without war, there is no peace.

There is no life without death; to see the dawn, one must step into darkness!

This is Qin Leng's most genuine answer, and it is also his unchanging answer.

007 could only watch helplessly as her body dissipated, Qin Leng not giving her a chance to unleash a large-scale meme.

He won't repeat the same mistake he's already made.

Qin Leng never considered achieving victory through following the rules; he was only fixated on one outcome!

That is the Nine Crowns that will destroy the world!

He had this plan from the moment he learned of the rule, and that was also why he set his sights on 009's crown.

009 has nine crowns. If he can pry open that treasure vault, he can directly unleash World-Ending Calamity.

His plans encountered setbacks due to their extreme and radical nature.

It was thanks to 007 that Qin Leng gradually calmed down after years of using Meme Contamination.

After rethinking it, he began to rearrange the entire plan.

How to exploit loopholes in memes, and how to complete the subsequent layout without violating the memes.

He found the method and successfully implemented it.

With a wave of his hand, Qin Leng sent one crown after another flying toward him.

Each person's crown has a unique number, or serial number, which is the way to distinguish crowns.

Without this serial number, it would be unclear which crown belongs to which serial number if the crowns were mixed together.

Qin Leng now holds the 007 crown, and then he looks at 009, "I've been waiting for someone to cut off my head, and that person may not necessarily be Arthur."

"But Arthur became this person."

As he spoke, Qin Leng took another crown, which was Lin Feng's crown. "But in a sense, Arthur is the most suitable candidate, but I need a trigger."

"So Lin Feng was placed among you by my own hand. I am not surprised that he joined you and betrayed us. In fact, I sincerely look forward to this outcome."

"If he doesn't tell you my information, how can I become your target?"

Another crown fell into Qin Leng's hands; this crown belonged to Kalen.

"Kalen is an ordinary person, and this game is not suitable for him. In other words, he is a bit too ordinary."

The next crown belongs to the leader of the wolves.

"Although he was cunning, he chose the wrong opponent from the beginning. He could not be an enemy of 008. If he took 008 as his opponent, he would only be courting his own destruction."

Then comes the Crown of Nightmare.

"He followed me the longest, which is a bit unfair, but I never trusted him. He was just a pawn living in lies from beginning to end."

Then came Meng Qing and Mystra's crowns. "I didn't expect their defeats, but fate is so coincidental."

"It's a pity that I've only just found the best candidate from back then, but it's too late. He's not the Meng Qing I knew back then anymore."

"I let him meet you on the second floor just to avoid him; his ability to manipulate fate is like a meme, making it difficult to control."

"He is too dangerous right now. I feel uneasy with him by my side."

Just like with 007, Qin Leng cannot control Meng Qing, and Meng Qing's abilities are extremely dangerous. Since the outcome is unpredictable, the best approach is not to use them.

Finally, the eighth crown, Isis's crown, also came into Qin Leng's hands.

Qin Leng looked at Isis's crown with particularly hostile eyes. "She was the first to guess 007, and also the first to guess that I Meme Contamination. She's very smart."

"But her ambition is too great. Those resurrected by Isis can be killed again by Isis's power."

"She intends to use this method to seize control of most of the sequences, and then turn the tables and take control. Her plan is already halfway to success."

"But sometimes, being too clever for one's own good can backfire. She thought I was controlled by memes and couldn't threaten her, and that she would protect me."

"Normally this is correct, but she never thought that one day I could get rid of memes. Arrogance always comes at a price, whether it's her or me, no one is an exception."

Qin Leng now possesses eight crowns. He only needs one more crown to unleash World-Ending Calamity. However, if he adds Qin Leng own crown, it will be just enough.

Unfortunately, one's own crown cannot be consumed or used by oneself.

Therefore, Qin Leng must obtain another crown. However, he has already obtained all the crowns in the subsequent sequence. Where should he go to find another crown?

In fact, Qin Leng had already selected several targets.

He couldn't possibly control exactly nine crowns, so he had to make more preparations, at least twelve crowns as spares.

Qin Leng's Eye of the Demon rushed out of the Hell Space and, after arriving in the outside world, quickly aimed in one direction and charged out.

This direction is the direction of the Chaos Empire, but its goal is not the crown of 009 and others, but the crown of the Tiger Ghoul.

If his calculations are correct, Tiger Ghoul should have been driven to the brink by the angels, and given Tiger Ghoul personality, he will surely give up and do whatever he wants next.

He will definitely put on the crown and launch a final attack.

The Eye of the Demon will need some time to fly, even though Eye of the Demon speed has already reached Mach 20.

But the world is too big; it will probably take an hour and a half to get from this small island to the location of Tiger Ghoul.

It wasn't that Qin Leng didn't want to leave one eye outside beforehand, but rather that he only had two eyes, and if the two eyes were separated, his spatial control would be greatly reduced.

Because the field of view is incomplete.

If 009 wants to kill him, Qin Leng, who is controlled by memes, will definitely go all out. Qin Leng will definitely use his two Eye of the Demons to release all-around spatial manipulation.

So this hour and a half might be 009's last chance.

009, leaning on the God-Slaying Spear, saw Arthur struggle to lift his head and look at him.

He opened his mouth and said something, but only his lips moved; no sound came out.

But 009 understood what he meant.

"Merge with me."
