Chapter 570

Overall rating: Epic I

A player panel even more extreme than Hayasaka Ai's, with all points allocated to range and concealment around the [True Shot, Sure Hit] trait, a true glass cannon.

Once she gets close, she dies a terrible death, and she also has a huge flaw: she doesn't have any detection skills whatsoever.

The condition for activating the feature is 'seeing'. Kaguya needs a relay guide and lacks solo sniping ability. Of course, she can completely ignore this aspect and maximize her 'specialization'.

'Team-based sniper.'

This was Yuki's assessment, as he thoughtfully remarked, "Don't use this bow during its cooldown period; you don't have many defensive skills."

"I understand." Kaguya stroked the four-stringed longbow, her tone softening considerably.

Do you know which aspect we'll improve next?

"Characteristics, then target selection, striving to make every arrow effective."

Yuki nodded. Everyone had grown up, and he no longer needed to nag. The most important thing for Kaguya Shinomiya was choosing her goals.

Although he hits the bullseye every Hayasaka Ai's, so he has to make every arrow count.

Others couldn't see the character panel, but they could hear the two talking and showed curious expressions, probably guessing that Kaguya Shinomiya Taiyi from ordinary players.

"Specialized player?" Mebius raised an eyebrow. To cope with different situations, most players develop into all-rounders.

"To be precise, they are extremely specialized players. I don't have time to let them level up slowly, to maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses, so that they can perform far beyond their initial assessment."

"Interesting. Ignoring the weakest link principle, not only does the team need good coordination, but someone also needs to provide the right conditions. Otherwise, if someone finds out her weakness, she will die quickly." Mebius, who had experienced thousands of battles, had a sharp eye and looked at the silent Frieren.

"And what about her? What area does she plan to specialize in?"

"Mass casualties, specifically designed to crush mobs." Yuki had already figured out Frieren's role, and said with a smile, "I want to Frieren to you. Use the Simulated Universe to improve her combat efficiency, help Frieren get some equipment, and finally, select a suitable team to cooperate with and enter the dungeon to achieve epic achievements."

He didn't just bring the Mushroom to the party. Frieren is rated Monster II, and Frieren is Monster IV. Both are Aether Particles players and don't need to be included in his team.

Now that the Aether Particles controversies have subsided and the Judge no longer have the capacity to monitor them, their cooperation will not be affected. However, just to be on the safe side, they still need to form an alliance with another faction.

"Taiyi- sensei is so kind; he's good to everyone." Elysia rested her chin on her hand and nodded without hesitation, "Sure, I'll pick a few monster-level players to help; they're all very reliable kids."

Frieren and Frieren exchanged a glance, neither of them expecting it to concern them, yet they were both overjoyed.

The journey of the master and apprentice will continue, and the most troublesome problem will be solved together. Because the Aether Particles has planted many spies, Frieren dares not stay any longer, and even less dares to get involved with Frieren, a wanted criminal.

"Thank you, I will try my best." The elf curtsied to Yuki.

"Consider this a reward for keeping your promise." Yuki waved his hand casually; he had been watching the elf girl closely, waiting for her choice.

Frieren and Fumerra can only choose one. If she stays in the Aether Particles, Yuki cannot risk Frieren being caught by allowing the two to meet.

The Mushroom is his teammate, but Frieren isn't, and Fumerra is even less so.

"I'll keep an eye on her," Frieren whispered. Yuki had already given her enough face; she couldn't possibly bring someone she'd just met into the inner circle.

"This is a matter between you and your master. Frieren has lived for thousands of years and has immense potential. You are stronger than her now, so try to unleash that potential. You might be able to help her in the future."

Yuki casually remarked that Frieren undoubtedly possessed all the potential to advance to Epic rank, but unfortunately, they met too late, leaving her no time to develop. However, the two of them working together could exponentially increase their strength.

That's how things were arranged, and everyone had their own tasks.

Mai Sakurajima, Shiina Hiyori, and Frieren are working hard to qualify for the final battle, Mena Ryougi is helping out in the 'Valhalla', and Hayasaka Ai is familiarizing herself with her newly acquired skills.

Just then, the fax machine delivered a new message.

"Senior and Hiyori are about to join the mission."

"So busy! They've only had a few days off. By the way, who are they with?"

"The Diving Club and the Cultural Research Society got their hands on a high-difficulty dungeon and formed an elite team to tackle it. I just happened to squeeze my seniors and the others into that team."

This is quite suitable. The strongest players in 'Thorny Rose' right now are Monster III, after all, the mission frequency is high and the growth is fast. Senior and Hiyori don't have much direct combat power, but one is Monster IV and the other is Monster III, which makes them the main force.

Kaguya didn't think much of it. She knew the Diving Club were this guy's cronies and could definitely be relied on, but she was just a little tempted.

"Do you need my help?"

"You, an epic-level character, going in will only increase the difficulty. If you want to show off, I'll give you plenty of opportunities." Yuki raised his hand to stop the young lady's protest, slowly stood up, and bowed to Elysia again.

"I'll leave those two in your care. I'll send you the detailed plan later. After two days at the Borderlands, I'll select suitable targets to hunt them down."

Elysia gave an 'OK' sign, and when she saw Mebius instinctively trying to chase after her, she gave him a playful look. Upon seeing this smile, Möbius immediately rolled his eyes and sat back down.

"Don't overthink it. This bastard owes me several favors, but he hasn't even mentioned them. He's obviously trying to renege on his debts!"

"Come on, if he could really send us back to our homeland, it would be like paying us back with interest. Mebius, our world hasn't been saved yet. I really want to hug Me and Kevin."

"That's you. I'm thriving in the Reincarnation Game, even closer to immortality than before." Mebius sneered. Seeing that Elysia didn't say anything and just smiled at him, his voice grew softer and softer until he finally stiffened his neck.

"Anyway, once I've finished what I needed to do, I will definitely continue to pursue immortality."

"Yes, yes, yes, Mebius, with his curiosity about everything and his endless pursuit of knowledge, is the most adorable."

"Don't use such a disgusting tone, it's giving me goosebumps!"

Frieren and Frieren stared blankly. These two powerful epic-level players were quite eccentric, yet they knew that the bond between them was no less than that between the Yuki Squad.

It was forged in blood and fire, and carried a heavy past of 'salvation'.

The two joked around for a while, but quickly returned to normal, clearly sharing the same trait as Yuki: they could joke around, but they were never ambiguous about serious matters.

"Let Kalpas and the Tendo Squad handle the 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons' situation. Hmm... and let Taiyi from the 'Classic of Classic of Mountains and Seas' do me a small favor. His witty and humorous nature can clear up a lot of doubts." Elysia flicked her pen, writing names one by one on the paper. Flowers turned into angels and carried the envelopes to various places.

"That fat pig is unreliable, and if he helps, that Demon Child will follow too. Oh, I get it, you're sending out two mad dogs to bite indiscriminately."

"Don't talk badly about people behind their backs." The girl wiggled her finger, took a sip of warm fruit tea, and her eyes were like crescent moons.

She didn't know how much power the Judge had prepared for this great battle, but she certainly hadn't expected two powerful factions to help them, each with their own plausible reasons.

The war has begun, and when the battle reports arrive, the King of Kindling is wreaking havoc.

Ironically, we both have a grudge against the 'End World'.

Life is like a game of chess, but after this meeting, I've gained a few more powerful pieces.

Yuki sat in a square somewhere at the Borderlands, legs crossed, filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest.

His personal ability is not the most important thing; having his path to advancement blocked is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The advantage is that he doesn't have to compete with the Judge in terms of resources; the disadvantage is that he can't overwhelm everyone with his leveling speed.

Overall, there are more advantages than disadvantages. The Borderlands is full of "protagonists" who have been ahead for thousands of years. How could he possibly surpass them in a short time?

"With the Savior's involvement, my strength instantly increased several times over, no less than the assistance from Valhalla brought by Mona."

This is significant, as each powerful faction has a network of relationships that can bring equipment, intelligence, and more allies.

"Do you really trust them completely?" Kaguya sat beside her, her hands on her lap, appearing unusually obedient.

"Faith is, in some ways, more reliable than Valhalla."

"So you really want to help liberate them?" Kaguya pursed her lips, as if she didn't want Yuki to do it.

"Of course, players have countless Transcendental Grade abilities. If my will is not firm, Elysia will see through me at a glance, leading to a complete defeat. This can be considered a kind of cause and effect."

Yuki finally realized why Shiki Ryougi insisted on his personal visit; it turned out that Valhalla didn't fully trust them either, and they believed more in Elysia's 'True Self' authority.

Fortunately, Yuki was prepared. Schemes and tricks have to be targeted; some people are completely immune to them.

"Alright, with the 'Savior' helping, this plan is half successful. The Judge would never have imagined that this powerful faction, which has nothing to do with me, would interfere."

Kaguya nodded. The reasoning was simple: factions like Valhalla and War Orphans were absolutely off-limits, otherwise the Judge would fight tooth and nail to eradicate them.

"And what about the other half?"

Yuki remained silent, but stood up and clenched his right fist.

"Of course, it's in my hands."

Chapter Sixteen: The World-Leading Base-Swapping Tactic

"He really isn't coming?"

The war has begun, and on the surface, the 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons' has no chance of resistance.

Two mere epic-level players were facing an enemy several times their number, and Sukuna wasn't even considered a main force. It was a very ordinary faction war, and it seemed extremely fair.

Sukuna brought in reinforcements from 'End World', 'Glory Alliance', 'Battle Maniac', and others. Logically, Satoru Gojo could have countered them head-on, but no one is a fool. It's obvious that the Judge want to make an example of someone, and no amount of money can bring in any help.

Their only chance to turn the tables is for 'Taiyi' to personally intervene, but in that case, the Judge could also have a justifiable outcome.

"This cowardly scheming fellow is indeed too afraid to come." Boros was very disappointed. It longed for a thrilling battle to experience Taiyi's prestige firsthand, but after issuing the challenge, the other side didn't dare to accept it at all.

"He may be a coward, but he's certainly not stupid. Is he coming here to die?" Solomon watched the show with a smile, glancing around. "That's fine. Let all the players in the Borderlands see what's going on. We'll continue to suppress everything. We'll kill a few more chickens, and then things will quiet down."

With six Grand Inquisitors monitoring the battlefield and hundreds of Judge on standby, the "Hundred Eyes of True Knowledge" provided every detail. It could be said that the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons was under constant surveillance, leaving no room for infiltration.

This is the best outcome. If Taiyi really appears, then we'll have to fight desperately. Fighting desperately means someone will perish. How can we progress if someone perishes?

Everyone entered the Outpost of the 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons', turning into a speck of black dust floating in the air. Once 'Taiyi' appears, the 'Faction Judgment' will be immediately launched to strip the Outpost apart. Let's see if that person can escape this ambush from all sides.

There were no flaws, and from the very beginning, there was no room for 'Taiyi' to intervene. However, the other party was so cowardly that it aroused suspicion.

"Are you really going to disregard everything?"

"There's no reason to interfere. We've captured quite a few people alive and confirmed they have no connection with Taiyi. The only clue we can find is with 'Li Dan.'" Sephiroth read the intelligence report, with new information arriving every second.

"So they really are victims?"

"That doesn't matter. The important thing is that we make all the players think that 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons' is Taiyi's subordinate, and that He has no ability to save these people." Sephiroth didn't care at all; to put it bluntly, this was a frame-up.

I want you to be a prostitute, what's it to you?

"Aizen, have you found any clues?" The handsome young man turned his head to look at the busy man. As the mastermind behind the plan, Aizen was very busy.

Considering Taiyi's cunning, he truly threw himself into the task, leaving no detail overlooked. Every prisoner was interrogated, and every new player joining the battlefield was closely watched.

"No, 'Hundred Eyes of True Knowledge' monitors the entire Outpost. The players joining the battle come from all walks of life, but they are either desperados or staunch allies; there isn't a single epic-level player."

Could 'Taiyi' be hidden among them?

"That's possible, but how long can he hide?" Aizen shook his head slightly, wondering to himself. Standing idly by was not something Taiyi would do.

Such a powerful military force was hidden in the 'Sumeru Dust' and could not possibly be discovered. Moreover, the people behind them were all wise and talented individuals.

Solomon, the 'King of Magic'; Sephiroth, the 'Fallen Angel'; Boros, the 'Star Lord'; Hades, the 'Eternal Torture'; and the 'Civilization Reboot' Herrscher of Finality.

All members are Epic Tier IV, representing the upper limit of the Reincarnation Game. They are all sharpening their knives and hiding in the Outpost of the 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons'. As soon as 'Taiyi' appears, he will immediately launch Faction Judgment.

The barriers of space will be incredibly strong, and no one will be able to leave at will. Even if 'Taiyi' has thousands of fragments and countless allies, they will have to watch helplessly.

Do you dare to come?

Aizen was quite interested; as long as he appeared, he could unveil the mystery of 'Taiyi,' unless he surpassed the limit or could truly come and go as he pleased.

"It seems 'Taiyi' guessed we would set an ambush."

"Bad news," Solomon replied somberly.

"No, it's good news. It proves that Taiyi isn't as troublesome as we thought, and our authority will still be effective." Aizen always managed to find a strange angle, but his words relieved everyone.

That's definitely good news. Judge fear most isn't mystery, but rather Yuki's invincible cheat code. If he can truly appear and disappear without a trace, what's the point of fighting?

"Since He doesn't dare to come, let's implement the first plan: quickly suppress the unrest at the Borderlands," Boros said, sounding listless.

"No need to consider a decoy strategy anymore. Apart from the Grand Inquisitor who continues searching the mission space, everyone else is here. There's no need to create unnecessary trouble." The Herrscher of the End spoke with a signature synthesized voice, as if countless people were speaking simultaneously.

Sigh, everyone's being very rational.

Aizen sighed. He had anticipated Taiyi's prediction and felt that the latter might abandon the matter and hunt down a Grand Inquisitor to gain an advantage. In that case, even if the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons was completely wiped out, it would still be a trade.

Nobody's a fool; who would dare run around like bait at a time like this?

'Very well, if' Taiyi's truly was only one person, His defeat signifies the end of the turmoil. Among the vultures devouring the carcass, I am not the strongest.'

Aizen didn't force the plan with a higher success rate. He had been busy for so long, and it wasn't just about being a strategist. So he simply raised his hand.

"Notify the King of Kindling that He may act now."

The Judge deliberately suppressed the progress of the war; once they unleashed their power, Satoru Gojo and his group would be crushed instantly.

The order was given, and hundreds of mirrors began to reflect the battlefield. Indeed, it was the Tenshukaku Yuki had fought years ago. Such a formidable fortress was no match for them.

A king appeared, crowned and engulfed in embers. The oppressive aura of an Epic IV-ranked player was enough to crush any courage. Behind him, several Epic-ranked players lined up in a row.
