He's been here from the very beginning!

Impossible! There wasn't a single weakling present. How could they possibly overlook an eavesdropper? Besides, this isn't a dragon. When did he enter the Eye of the Abyss? Are those Sea Demon blind? How could they let such a large person cross the battlefield and silently get to my side?

Yuki reveled in the confusion. Just as the other had expected, he had arrived long ago, using his special ability to conceal his presence and stand beside him like a shadow.

Akarin's state is a degraded version of her senior's characteristics, but in such a high-level situation, it is even more difficult for a tiny mortal to be noticed. Unfortunately, the flaws are too great. If she had 'Adolescence Syndrome', Morgas would have been dead just now.

"Your Spatial Severance technique is inferior to the Night Furnace; you don't even realize there's an extra impurity." Yuki glanced at everyone; a third party intervened, and the battle naturally stopped, all eyes turning to him.

Who is this? Why are they interfering? Which side are they on?

From the Flame-Chaser to the Dragon General, none of them knew who Yuki was. If his first strike hadn't been aimed at Morgas, they would have thought he was the reinforcements he had prepared.

Divine Race assassins? There's no reason for them to help now; wouldn't it be better to wait until they're both severely weakened?

"Are you a player from Abyss Fortress?" Flame-Chaser asked in a deep voice. As a fellow player, it wasn't hard to guess, even though they weren't face to face.

Outsiders to Abyss Fortress!?

The others besides Morgas were even stranger; surely someone so eager for revenge wouldn't venture alone into the Eye of the Abyss?

Yuki looked at the other person, and the moment he saw him, he confirmed the existence and function of the Chaos Furnace Flame, instantly purifying the information that the Fox Demon had found.

Burning everything and recreating the world is something the 'Flame-Chaser' simply cannot refuse. They can burn everything that can be burned, but they still cannot stop the 'sun' from going out.

All energy has its Limit; only through continuous circulation, constantly going from death to life, can it thrive.

"Yes." Yuki nodded gently.

"What are we waiting for? The minions of the Divine Race have already discovered our plans, so let's hurry up and seize the opportunity!"

Morgas shouted sternly. This time, even the two dragon generals who were watching the show revealed their fierce side. Abyss Fortress was the strongest city-state and the sharp blade of the Divine Race. Since he was their hero, what was there to say?

"Yes, I did discover 'your' plans, but calling me a minion of the Divine Race is a gross underestimation of me."

Morgas was shocked. Before he could even make a move, Yuki had already taken out several items that made all the restless dragons stop in their tracks.

The first item is a pink rune resembling a tail. This is a gift from the Fox Demon to its esteemed guest, representing supreme friendship and even capable of opening a passage to Peach Blossom Spring, signifying the highest level of authority.

The holder perished, rendering the rune ineffective, but this thing is alive, proving that Yuki possesses this authority.

The second item is even more obvious: several heads, each with a giant sculpture in its respective city-state, heads that even the deep-sea dragons are familiar with.

"The god of romance? The god of time? This... this is Tiberius, the 'Right Hand of God'!? Where did you get this???"

Everyone, including the Dragon King, was shocked. Morgas's expression changed rapidly, as if something terrible was about to happen.

"Of course I killed him."

Ah???

It is known that Abyss Fortress is a direct descendant of the Oceanic Pantheon and was nearly destroyed by the Sea Demon, making them irreconcilable enemies.

It is known that the demon race has two major leaders, Morgas and the Fox Demon, who jointly resist the hegemony of the Divine Race.

It is known that the Fox Demon inflicted heavy losses on the Divine Race through the 'Battle of the Peach Blossom Spring,' causing their hegemony to weaken.

It is known that this outsider is from Abyss Fortress, and judging from his equipment, he must be a core member.

Each condition is simple, but when you connect them all, it becomes incomprehensible. Yuki's stance is even more terrifying and unbelievable than the story of the Dragon King.

Who are friends with whom? Who are enemies with whom? Have I been corrupted by the Abyss Grade and become stupid? How come I can't even tell which side is on my side?

"To be precise, I helped Abyss Fortress repel the Sea Demon, and I am now the second commander of Abyss Fortress. I am the one who led the troops here this time. I am also a demon general of the Fox Clan. I was the one who fought in the battle of Peach Blossom Spring, and I also killed Tiberius." Yuki didn't rush to make a move, and explained slowly.

Ah???

This is no longer a matter of Back-and-Forth Dodge, because speculators don't make decisions easily, but this person not only did it, but pushed it to the Limit.

"Why did you do this?" Kalaris couldn't help but ask, realizing that his own level of understanding was terrifyingly naive compared to this man's.

"Because I want to live."

"Who can take your life?" Kalaris was even more puzzled, and even took the initiative to stop Morgas.

The newcomer is very strong and elusive. He could probably survive even if most people in the world died. Moreover, there's no need for him to go through so many complicated procedures; he could simply follow the Abyss Fortress and the Divine Race and fight his way through.

"Because the Chaos Furnace Flame, once it ignites, will burn away all life in this world, including us. As for what this thing is, I don't think I need to waste time explaining it."

The Dragon King's expression changed instantly; he understood Yuki's purpose in coming. He stared at him with a strange look, as if asking, 'How did you know?'

The Flame-Chaser's gaze was similar to the Dragon King's, only with a touch more solemnity.

"The current order was established by the Divine Race. Their mass demise will cause the order to collapse and the timeline to shift. The critical point is when more than 95% of them perish. Am I right, Flame-Chaser?"

The Flame-Chaser's gaze grew even more serious, and he couldn't help but ask, "How did you discover the problem?"

He didn't notice anything wrong with the prompt at first; it was only after seeing Morgas that he realized something was amiss.

There's something wrong with this instance; the Reincarnation Game makes no mention of the Chaos Furnace Flame. When He went back to read it, He suddenly discovered the answer was in hint two.

[Hint 2: Depending on their role, players must eliminate at least one race, or three other races' factions. Elimination is calculated as 95% or higher destruction. The Destiny of the player will differ depending on the faction.]

The last paragraph is related to the puzzle, but it's too subtle. It's as if the Reincarnation Game never intended for players to figure it out, and even wanted to lead them in the wrong direction.

The Destiny of the world? Killing a chicken will change the timeline, it's just a matter of the scope and magnitude of the impact. Besides, what does the Destiny of the world have to do with the players? All players are only concerned with the conditions for returning to the starting point.

Only the Flame-Chaser knew the outcome: the ultimate Destiny was either restart or continuation.

This is abnormal; it seems the Reincarnation Game never intended for players to survive from the very beginning.

"Of course I'll investigate. I don't have your luck. I also know what the 'End World' is after, but you'd better not touch it. They won't give it to you anyway." Yuki rarely used his verbal skills.

There are no nostalgic moments, no passionate persuasion, only cold logic and reality.

"And you all, now you should understand my stance, right? My enemies have never been gods or demons, only these schemers who want to use us as firewood!"

The long sword was pointed at Morgas, and all eyes were drawn to it. The three dragon generals were all shaken, for this was the only explanation for Yuki's sudden appearance.

It's that Chaos Furnace Flame again. The Dragon King might be suffering from dementia, but surely this outsider, the Abyss Fortress, and even the Fox Demon can't all be idiots? Without some evidence, why would they dare to follow the outsider in his madness?

This is a third force outside the war between gods and demons. If it's true, then it's closely related to the dragon race, because they could survive by standing by and watching during the war, but if someone were to restart the world, wouldn't they all be burned to ashes?

"How do you explain this? I remember now, you've been cooperating with the God of the Sky. I've always wondered, since you two are mortal enemies, why would He trust you, and why would you trust him?"

Kalaris grinned, recalling some details.

Morgas remained silent; it had no way to explain, but it also had no intention of letting Yuki turn the tables with his words.

"Hahahaha, foolish! You've been swayed by just his words? The Divine Race sword is at your doorstep, yet you're still wasting your precious time!"

This is a very sophisticated debating tactic, using the pressure of reality to force others to comply, while incidentally throwing the problem Yuki.

"It's just me and one of the Dragon King's subordinates speaking; the evidence comes from different sources," Yuki silently corrected.

Morgas's eyes twitched. This sarcastic ability was truly formidable. He simply raised his voice. "So what if there are a hundred people? Who knows if you're telling the truth? What if the Fox Demon is bewitched by you? What if you're a god deliberately sent to disrupt us?"

"Gentlemen, time is running out. Are you willing to bet that there's nothing wrong with what he says? Can he produce any substantial evidence?"

This is utter nonsense. Even though the evidence the Fox Demon found was just a jumbled mess of oral accounts, Yuki had to arrange it according to the clues, he wasn't flustered at all, nor did he intend to use any verbal tricks.

Yuki slowly put on the Evil Blood Glove, evil soul energy spreading from his crimson fingertips.

"Come here, I'll give you an honesty buff, then we'll know whether you're hiding something or not."

Soul Corruption...

Morgas's pupils contracted sharply. Yuki's punches were aimed at vital points. How could he possibly be honest? If he told the truth, things would get out of hand.

But with all four dragons staring at him, the meaning couldn't be clearer.

Stop spouting nonsense. Just try it and you'll know what's true and what's false.

"Time is running out, you said it yourself." Yuki gently added insult to injury from the side, making the atmosphere of doubt even more intense.

His handsome face began to tremble slightly; anyone could tell he was hiding something.

"Morgas, you dared to lie to me!!!"

The crimson dragon went berserk. All that preparation and mental preparation it had made had turned into being played like Clown. But the moment it moved, the Flame-Chaser had been fighting alongside it, stepped in front of it.

"Roll!"

The collision of magma and embers instantly ignited the situation. The Dragon King, disregarding everything else, roared, "Kupumias, Reindes, you two stupid dragons, are you still just watching the show?!"

The two giant dragons, white and blue, seemed to wake from a dream. They were actually a bit dim-witted, with too many unfamiliar terms, and hadn't fully grasped the situation, but at least they knew they had been tricked.

Damn it, this is the person I'm playing against!

Morgas finally understood. He wondered why his otherwise perfect plan kept going wrong, forcing him to use contingency plans to fix things. It turned out that someone had already guessed the plan and was constantly causing trouble.

But it remained calm. Its top priority was to keep the dragon clan's high-ranking officials here. The demons outside would find a way to awaken the dragon clan, while the Divine Race army was already rushing over. This battle could still break out.

Without a leader, the Sea Demon have suffered significant losses and are estimated to fall short of the 95% requirement. Those Godslaying may not necessarily require demons or dragons.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he glared angrily again, because Yuki had activated the pink runes, opening another gap in his space.

Fox Demon, Peach Blossom Spring, a transit point?

In an instant, he understood that Yuki had come prepared and had anticipated his prediction.

"You have a contingency plan, but I don't?"

Yuki transformed into lightning, traversing the chaotic battlefield. This was not only swift, but also definitively confirmed that Tiberius was dead at his hands; otherwise, how could power be in his grasp?

"Leave quickly. The Great Demoness of the Fox Clan, Froya, will inform you of what happens next."

He left those words behind and headed straight for Morgas, who had already activated his secondary contingency plan, trying to escape the space first. However, before he could even make a move, the Stand User appeared out of thin air beside him.

Divide, Moonlit Ghost Step.

This is Yuki's double jump; amidst Morgas's ominous expression, the independent space is stripped away a second time.

Segmentation, the Night Furnace Domain.

The world changes in an instant, and in the darkness, the dark space has turned into the Corpse Mountain, Blood Sea. The Soul King, sword and spear in hand, has been waiting for a long time.

"You're still too green to try and play dirty tricks on me!"

Spatial Severance, and then isolation of the battlefield, turned the tide of the battle in just a few minutes.

Morgas was still somewhat bewildered. He was just one step away from success, and too many questions swirled in his mind. He didn't even have time to properly observe the Furnace. Looking at the murderous Yuki, he opened his mouth with difficulty.

When did you find out?

"I just found out, no need to ask. Revealing the mystery and preparing can be done simultaneously." Yuki stared intently at him. To put it bluntly, he was fast, which was the biggest difference between him and ordinary players.

While investigating, Yuki never cares about the order of things. By the time you've investigated everything, it's almost too late to turn the tide.

Just like a raging storm, once you seize the initiative, you press forward relentlessly, ultimately creating a situation where every step you take is faster than the last.

"I don't know much about the dragon race, let alone anything about dragon soul inheritance. It's said that the strong are helped by heaven, but your actions have certainly helped me a lot."

Morgas's breathing became heavier. He had really helped; otherwise, the other party wouldn't have been able to get close to the Dragon King at all. Even if he had woken him up, it was uncertain whether the Dragon King would have listened to his explanation.

I didn't do anything wrong; he was just too strong.

The demon god did not regret his choice; the problem was that he acted too hastily.

How much do you know?

"Not many. To avoid repeating the same mistakes, the six main gods have indeed covered up most of the information about the Chaos Furnace Flame, making it difficult to find clues from legends. But I can guarantee that you are a key figure, perhaps even having bewitched the God of the Sky."

Yuki can only guess at many things, but with clues, the guessing becomes more plausible.

The reason for the strange situation of the five main gods is most likely that they were betrayed by the Sky God and are in a state of near death. As for why the Sky God would betray his teammate who created the epic?

Yuki glanced at Morgas, who seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and decisively raised his sword. "Once we catch you, we can naturally solve the final mystery."

The long investigation will eventually reach a turning point, and that turning point is now.

Yuki is much stronger than when he first entered the dungeon. Morgas wouldn't dare to fight him one-on-one. The most important thing now is not to be caught. He must keep that last bit of secret no matter what.

'I must go out and tell His Majesty this news; I cannot rush here.'

Scheming against everyone is different from playing a game of chess with someone. He could tell with his life that Yuki stepping out from behind the curtain was definitely confident he could sabotage the plan.

But the question is, how do we get there?

As a god most skilled in spatial authority, Morgas immediately recognized that this domain was quite troublesome, and besides, the other party wouldn't give him time to slowly decipher it.

Buzzing...

The air trembled, and the silver-white flying swords multiplied due to the effect of the Duplication Cube, eventually transforming into thousands of sharp blades that circled around.

"Let's get to know each other better first," Yuki with a broad smile, then suddenly snapped his fingers.
