As Li Wei called out, the black hole twisted, and then two dark figures shot out one after the other, blocking Li Wei's path with a loud bang.

The first person to emerge was 3 meters tall and as strong as an ox, but he had six arms. When he saw the Main God who was coming with a fire sword, his eyes revealed a strong hatred.

"Mordor, do you still recognize me?" With that, he suddenly stretched out an arm and grabbed the flaming sword that was thrust at him. Then, with a roar, the muscles in his arm suddenly doubled in size, and his palm was filled with tremendous force. With a 'poof', the flaming sword was crushed to pieces by this man.

Sparks swirled before settling into calm. But the Main God Mordor, composed entirely of magical elements, found no peace of mind.

The giant man before them seemed unfamiliar, but his voice was extremely familiar.

Memories from the depths of his memory were stirred, and the Main God Mordor murmured, "It's you?"

The giant was none other than the Prison-Suppressing Ming King, who had been parasitized by the Head Monster. He was now radiating murderous intent, and swiftly unleashed a punch, saying, "You still recognize me? You destroyed my true form and even stole my divine position! Mordor, if you don't die, my hatred will never be appeased!"

The Prison-Suppressing Ming King's body was already incredibly powerful, and his physical strength was as strong as a ferocious beast. With this punch, he directly shattered Mordor's phantom.

However, the latter remained unhurried. As the skull monster threw its punch, it cast a spell, wrapping a wisp of clear spring water around the monster's fist. The spring water, like a serpent, swiftly slithered, eventually locking one of the Head Monster's arms like an iron chain, rendering it immobile.

"Hmph, wasn't my body also dismembered by you? Now that you've shown yourself, you'll stay here forever." With that, Mordor's five fingers flashed like lightning, reaching for the monster's chest.

Get out of here!

A furious roar erupted from behind the Head Monster, and Hades flicked his hand, sending a thick black mist enveloping Mordor. Pluto King's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly withdrew his attack, transforming into a streak of light and escaping a hundred meters away. He then floated in the air, his face terrifyingly gloomy.

"Pluto King... you're still alive..." Mordor's expression at this moment was absolutely not the picture of nonchalance. Clearly, his two formidable enemies had appeared before him at the same time, and their combat power had actually recovered to the Star King level.

This was clearly completely unexpected.

As for Li Wei, whom he had initially paid attention to, he was now being ignored, which suited Li Wei's wishes.

After pulling Pluto King and the Head Monster out of the Copper Pot World, Li Wei hid in a relatively safe corner, ready to escape into the Copper Pot World for refuge at any time.

After all, what was about to happen was a battle of the highest level. With just a gesture or movement from the three of them, he could easily be crushed into dust. Participating in such a battle would be tantamount to suicide. Even if he stayed to watch, Li Wei had made a huge decision.

As the saying goes, enemies meeting are bound to be extremely hostile.

This statement is not an exaggeration. The three of them barely spoke after meeting, only glaring at each other for a while before starting to fight.

This time, Li Wei truly witnessed what a real master was like.

Pluto King immediately summoned over a thousand 'Nether Ghost,' all of them S6 level. This was significantly higher than Li Wei's ability to summon only one.

In addition, Pluto King unleashed a new technique: the ground beneath his feet turned into black volcanic rock, spewing lava and creating a scorching heatwave. Under these conditions, the Main God seemed to be greatly affected.

Li Wei also tried to step into that area, but felt that his body had become at least five times heavier, and he couldn't breathe at all. After clicking his tongue in surprise, he obediently retreated.

Clearly, this area is one of Pluto King's domains, where his combat power increases while his opponents' combat power is weakened.

Then look at the Head Monster, who unleashed a hundred moves. His ability is to extract special skills, so he possesses at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, abilities. Moreover, his attacks are at the level of a Star King, making them far more powerful than the original. For a time, the two of them actually gained the upper hand, forcing Mordor to retreat steadily.

However, Li Wei could also see that although Pluto King and the Head Monster had the advantage on the field, the Main God Mordor would not lose.

Yes, although Mordor was suppressed and unable to raise his head at this moment, his aura was not diminished at all. Moreover, Li Wei himself possessed the Grandmaster level of water magic, so he could naturally feel the fluctuations of the surrounding magical elements.

Clearly, Mordor was preparing a large-scale spell. Li Wei could sense the surrounding magical elements becoming restless, with much more Water Element than usual. Li Wei understood that Mordor was most likely going to use water magic to attack this time.

Although both were at the Grandmaster level in water magic, Li Wei knew that his mastery of magic and magical power, as well as the power of his spells, could not compare to Mordor's. As a result, most of the time, apart from the Mirror Image, Li Wei did not use any other water magic.

However, Mordor, whose primary focus is magic, has truly earned the title of Grandmaster.

While fighting the two masters, he chanted incantations, and some spirits could already be seen floating around his body.

If Li Wei could see it, then Pluto King and the Head Monster, who were at a higher level, could naturally also see that the other party was preparing a killing move.

Pluto King was blasted to ashes by a 'Polestar Annihilation Blast' back then, and this time, he will not allow the opponent to succeed in casting the spell.

"Brother, Mordor is about to unleash a forbidden spell! Stop him!" Pluto King roared.

The Head Monster beside him naturally knew the power of Mordor's forbidden spell, but he quickly stepped back, then opened his mouth and spat out a piece of paper.

It was a piece that had clearly been torn from a book, with rough edges at the tear.

Li Wei was in the distance, also noticed this. He hadn't figured out what the Head Monster was trying to do, but the Main God Mordor on the other side had already changed his expression drastically.

"You dare..." Mordor seemed extremely afraid of the paper, and immediately cast a spell.

Instant spell, Wind Hole

A sudden, intense gust of wind struck the Head Monster's arm holding the paper, causing it to scream as the paper flew from its grasp.

"Not good"

In an attempt to retrieve the paper, the previously unleashed Wind Hole magic exploded, generating powerful wind pressure that instantly blew the paper hundreds of meters away.

Although the Head Monster wanted to retrieve the paper, Mordor wouldn't give him that chance.

"Mirror Image Legion"

Mordor quickly recited a spell, and with a wave of his hand, dozens of 'people' identical to him appeared around the Head Monster.

As Main God, Mordor's Mirror Image Legion and Li Wei's Mirror Image are both spells that copy targets to fight, but Mordor's is much higher level.

Upon seeing the Mirror Image of the 'Prison-Suppressing Ming King', Li Wei immediately activated his Eye of Perception.

"Puppets are monsters summoned by the ultimate water-based magic, 'Mirror Image Legion.' They possess 50% of the Mirror Image target's combat strength and all their skills, and 30% of the Mirror Image target's health. These are true warriors; never underestimate them, or you will pay the price for underestimating them..."

It's much more powerful than the Mirror Image.

Li Wei stuck out his tongue. His Mirror Image could only Mirror Image a single puppet, and this puppet was just a paper tiger, easily broken at the slightest touch.

The Mirror Image Legion of the Main God Mordor can not only Mirror Image more than twelve puppets, but these puppets also possess health points and powerful combat abilities. Undoubtedly, the practical value of the Mirror Image Legion far exceeds that of the Mirror Image.

"If I could learn how to build this Mirror Image Legion, that would be great. Then I could Mirror Image a dozen or so Main God puppets and roam freely everywhere!" Li Wei fantasized in his mind. Looking at the battle ahead, the Head Monster was already surrounded by monsters that looked exactly like him and was quickly falling into a passive position.

Pluto King, fighting alone, was directly suppressed by the Main God Mordor.

Although there are thousands of Nether Ghost, these Nether Ghost do not possess any special skills and rely entirely on their physical bodies to fight. Against Main God with rich combat experience, they are basically of no use.

The only one who could keep up with the speed of the Main God Mordor was Pluto King. However, he alone was no match for Main God who was one level higher than him, and the situation began to reverse.

The incantation, which had just been interrupted, began to be recited again by the Main God Mordor, and this time, it seemed that nothing could stop him.

Li Wei, who was watching from a distance, had already shifted his attention away from them. At this moment, Li Wei was quietly running towards the ruins of a house that had been destroyed by the earthquake.

With a few leaps, Li Wei arrived at the ruins.

This was clearly the mansion of a vampire noble family, but it was destroyed in the battle. Among the ruins, there were still many valuable pieces of furniture and glassware, but now they were either destroyed like the building or buried under the rubble, no longer possessing their former glory.

Among the rubble, an arm can still be seen sticking out.

At this moment, however, the arm was charred black, clearly indicating that it was the arm of a vampire, which had become like this after being exposed to sunlight.

After leaping over the arm, Li Wei began searching around.

At this critical juncture, Li Wei was not looking for the vampire family's money, but rather because he had just seen the piece of paper that the Head Monster had carefully taken out earlier being blown to this place by the wind after it slipped from its hand.

Could something so highly valued by the former Main God, the Head Monster, and so terrifying to the current Main God, Mordor, be anything ordinary?

Without a doubt, it was a treasure. Whether others believed it or not, Li Wei believed it.

Since he couldn't join the battle at that level, he might as well look for that piece of paper. Li Wei searched through the ruins for a while, then suddenly frowned.

Because he saw a large pile of scattered papers in one corner of the ruins.

Li Wei saw it clearly just now; the mysterious paper did indeed fall on this ruin. They had searched everywhere else, but this was the only place they hadn't looked.

However, if that piece of paper is mixed in with this pile of papers, it will be difficult to find it.

Fortunately, Li Wei quickly found a solution.

He activated his Eye of Perception, then bent down and began flipping through the pages one by one.

"Item: Letter paper, paper used for sending messages, of some value..."

"Item: A piece of paper covered in writing; it's already written on, but has no value whatsoever..."

"Item: Worn-out kraft paper, a type of paper that can be preserved for a long time, but worthless..."

"Item: A piece of paper from the 'Rule Codex.' Although it is just a scrap of paper, it possesses supreme divine power. After use, the rules of the current scene can be mapped onto the paper. The person who possesses it can create rules within the scope of the mapped mandatory rules, and everyone in the current scene must abide by these rules. If they violate them, they will be punished according to the consequences written in the rules... Please note that even the rule-maker must abide by the rules..."

Li Wei held the piece of paper, which was only half the size of an A4 sheet, his face already blank.

A moment later, Li Wei came to his senses, but he quickly grabbed the torn pages of the code tightly in his hand, then flipped over and jumped behind a wall that had not yet collapsed.

Even at this moment, Li Wei's heart was still pounding.

Without a doubt, he had stumbled upon a treasure. Now Li Wei finally understood why the Head Monster had preserved it so carefully, and Main God had been so terrified when it was finally brought out.

Because this is something that, if used properly, can eliminate opponents far superior to oneself.

In addition, Li Wei thought of another detail. He remembered that the Main God possessed two great divine powers. The Time Power was undoubtedly extremely powerful. The second great divine power was the power of rules.

Li Wei had only heard about it all along, but had never seen the Main God use it. However, this did not prevent Li Wei from speculating about this divine power.

Clearly, the fragment of the code in his hand perfectly matched Li Wei's conception of the 'Power of Rules'. To verify his guess, Li Wei quickly began to carefully study the fragment.

"Should we activate the scene pre-requisite rules immediately...?"

On the tattered piece of paper, there was a handprint. Li Wei placed his hand on it and immediately heard this prompt.

The answer is undoubtedly "on".

Soon, lines of text slowly appeared on the previously blank paper, and Li Wei quickly began to read them carefully.

"Rules cannot be broken... Scene: Blood Clan Star Domain, Number of Players: 3,890,357, Gravity (Cannot be changed):... Death Condition (Cannot be changed): Normal, No Restricted Areas... Other Rules (Can be changed): None"

Looking at the text, Li Wei could roughly understand what it meant. Clearly, this fragment of legal code listed the current situation of his location.

This includes the population of all Werewolf Star Domain, as well as some basic gravity comparisons and conditions for biological death. However, all of these are marked as unchangeable; the only thing that can be changed is the remaining rules at the end.

This is the key point.

Li Wei found a pen, thought carefully for a moment, and then tried writing on the remaining rules: Main God Mordor, death.

The result was very frustrating for Li Wei; the words disappeared without a trace as soon as they were written, clearly indicating that the rule did not meet the requirements of the legal code.

Li Wei further wrote, "The Main God Mordor forbids the use of magic."

The result was still invalid.

Letting out a long breath, Li Wei murmured, "It seems that only reasonable and fair rules can be effective. So... how about this?"

Li Wei wrote another rule: The combat power of all creatures in the current scene is reduced by 10 for 10 seconds.

After writing this line, Li Wei couldn't help but feel his heart race. In his opinion, this rule was very reasonable and fair. Firstly, everyone, including himself as the rule-maker, would be affected. Secondly, it was not a permanent rule, making it quite fair.

Staring intently at the words on the paper, Li Wei felt that time was passing incredibly slowly.

1 second...

2 seconds...

The font remained unchanged, Li Wei was overjoyed, thinking to himself that this time there shouldn't be any problems.

Sure enough, three seconds later, Li Wei felt a sudden weight on his body.

"Our combat strength has indeed decreased..." Li Wei could clearly feel that a portion of his power had suddenly been lost, and the shock in his heart was beyond words.

This fragment of the Rule Codex actually works.

Unbeknownst to Li Wei, at the same time he sensed a decrease in combat strength, Mordor, Pluto King, and the other two who were locked in fierce combat were all taken aback.

"Our combat power has been depleted? How could this be?" A chill ran through the three of them. Pluto King and the Head Monster immediately looked at Mordor, since only the power of rules could have accomplished this.

However, Mordor was even more shocked than they were, only his reaction was much faster.

"Someone picked up that fragment from earlier, damn it... this is troublesome." Mordor immediately realized what had happened, and instead of continuing his fight with Pluto King, he quickly retreated while taking out the 'Rule Codex'.

Before he could even write anything, the lost fighting force Miracle returned.

His hand suddenly stopped, as if deep in thought, and at that moment, Pluto King's attack arrived again.

Pluto King and the Head Monster weren't fools either. They had just spotted the furtive Li Wei, and it seemed the fragment had fallen into his hands. But regardless, Li Wei was now on their side. They were willing to pay any price to kill Mordor, let alone a small fragment of the code.

Mordor, entangled by Pluto King, was already in a hurry. He wasn't afraid of anyone in a fight, but the power of rules that Hades possessed could very well kill him.

Therefore, we must immediately find the person who obtained that fragment of the code and eliminate him.

At this moment, Mordor had exhausted all his strength, and Pluto King was unable to hold him back. Soon, he discovered Li Wei hiding behind some ruins.

With his Star Emperor-level eyesight, seeing what Li Wei was holding was incredibly easy; clearly, Mordor knew he had found his target.

"It's that kid again!" Fueled by both old and new grudges, Mordor unleashed a massive ice wall to block Pluto King, then swiftly lunged towards Li Wei's location.

As for Li Wei, after his first successful experiment, he was a little excited. Then he immediately wrote down another rule; this time, he was serious.

Rules must be fair and just, otherwise they will not be effective.

The second rule Li Wei wrote down was this: Destroyer Li Wei is forbidden from attacking the Main God Mordor, and the opposite is also true.
