Chapter 122

Scholar: "That should be it. Kevin and Aponia are probably both paid items, or game mods, which explains why they have such special talents."

The Great Magician: "So, there are only two players?"

Conductor: "Note that there are only two well-known players."

Scholar: "It's possible that other players still exist, but after Elysia spent a lot of money to transform this world into the way she wanted it, there probably won't be many people playing on this server anymore."

Model Five: "Should we kill Elysia?"

The Great Magician: "Elysia's expression will definitely be quite peculiar when this play ends."

Conductor: "... Why did you kill Elysia?"

An Yu: "Ask the one who's sleeping, why did you set up Model Five and me to appear?"

The message board remained unanswered for a long time.

Lecturer: "I'm in the conference room. There are quite a few people attending this meeting: Aponia, myself, Einstein, Mobius, and Möbius."

An Yu: "Sigh, I knew Elysia was an idiot. Why didn't they add two smart people to the module?"

Scholar: "Perhaps this game has a loyalty system, and the loyalty of intelligent people drops faster?"

An Yu: "Lecturer, how far have you gotten in convincing me?"

Lecturer: "The communication went smoothly, but many key agreements seemed to be locked up, and An Yu couldn't get them out."

Lecturer: "However, he joked that Elysia was practically cheating."

An Yu: "Isn't that just plain nonsense?"

Anyone can see that Elysia is cheating.

She started with invincible Origin Power and knew the entire plot, so she progressed smoothly from beginning to end as if she had gone through it several times before.

Kevin's talent is so high, he's practically invincible among humans, yet he still can't beat Elysia. If this isn't cheating, what is?

Vill-V sat in the conference room.

Aponia had lost her former composure and tranquility, a gloomy cloud hanging over her brow.

She tapped the table. "Gentlemen, I suspect there is a traitor among us."

Vill-V's expression remained unchanged as she continued to listen patiently.

It doesn't matter if we find out about her; at worst, we can just create a surprise ahead of time.

How do you identify a traitor?

Mei's voice was very cold, and she occasionally shivered, probably suffering from the aftereffects of being frozen.

"I hope you will allow me to explore the depths of the mind."

Aponia had no reason, nor did she realize anything; she was simply taking precautions.

Are you kidding me?

Just as Vill-V was about to stand up, someone beat her to it.

"No wonder Elysia used to do all the work."

Mobius scoffed and got up to leave.

Can Fusion Warrior with a mental aura explore the depths of one's own consciousness?

Mobius's personality has been a subject of much discussion for the past few years, even more than a decade, with some saying it would be best to change it.

"Now that she's gone, Aponia, you can tell me your plans."

Mei spoke softly, then wrapped her thick clothes tighter around herself.

What plan? Vill-V thought quickly.

Aponia rubbed her forehead. "No, I don't have a specific plan. I'm just certain that the Herrscher of Sentience wouldn't be able to influence Kevin before they've even met or on their first meeting."

"Therefore, the Herrscher must have started planning this a long time ago, when Kevin's strength was not yet strong."

This isn't blind confidence; even if Herrscher uses their powers to their fullest potential, there's still a limit to their abilities.

As Fusion Warrior shattered the illusion of the Herrscher of Sentience with a single sentence in the past, even if Aponia doubled the opponent's power, she could not affect Kevin in an instant.

"What is the solution for your search(>Q group∴: _[4-yi∴∽$∴?"

Aponia was even more troubled. "I do suspect that several people present, including myself, were also silently influenced by the Herrscher several years ago."

Vill-V suddenly chuckled twice, then stood up slyly. "Miss Aponia, come see me again after you've convinced May and Einstein."

"I have no intention of probing your memories."

Vill-V paused in her action of opening the door, then said, "Let's listen."

Volume 1: Chapter 183 181 Kevin, Vill-V Exits the Game

"Next, I will issue a challenge to the Herrscher."

Aponia's gaze swept over the remaining people—May, Einstein, and Vill-V, who was standing at the door.

"I will release Kevin then and trade my life for him."

Aponia reluctantly admitted that she hadn't noticed Kevin's problem.

However, the Herrscher certainly couldn't control Kevin, so she would gamble with the Herrscher, betting that Kevin would resist the Herrscher's ability and destroy the area where the two met with a single sword strike.

Mei frowned even more, calmly pointing out the key question, "Why did he want to see you?"

"Because, in terms of ability, I am still theoretically the optimal solution to deal with the Herrscher of Sentience."

Aponia answered, but her tone was not certain.

"An Yu might know this... Of course, he might not know it either. His behavior is contradictory; sometimes he seems to know everything, and sometimes he seems like a clueless novice."

Mei shook her head. "Then you shouldn't have taken the risk."

Aponia remained silent, but now, she was no longer the optimal solution.

She couldn't discover Kevin's problem. In a sense, if she could deceive An Yu, it would be a huge win for both Elysia and Kevin.

When to take action?

Mei pressed for more information.

"Just today, at dusk."

Aponia's eyes regained their resolve. "We must act before Elysia returns. Once she comes back, given her style and power, the Herrscher will most likely not risk showing herself again."

Actually, Elysia returned that night; she had contacted them secretly, but as she said before, she didn't trust anyone present.

Back at the workshop, Vill-V silently told An Yu about it.

"Then I'll accept the invitation."

An Yu didn't seem to care, and answered casually.

"You seem very confident?"

Vill-V narrowed her eyes. "An Yu, aren't you afraid of Kevin?"

Although An Yu's physical abilities are currently very strong, she is definitely no match for Kevin.

An Yu laughed, "Wouldn't it be easier for you to fish in troubled waters by laying everything out in the open?"

Vill-V paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean?"

"Anyway, you'll definitely keep the show going."

An Yu fiddled with the parts, replying casually.

"Why?"

"That's how you set it up."

An Yu spoke in an almost matter-of-fact tone, as if stating an objective fact.

Looking at the boy's casual demeanor, Vill-V chuckled. "How arrogant of you. Well then, I'll just have to go along with your wishes."

[Message Board]

Lecturer: "An Yu has absolutely no need to cooperate. He trusts intelligence too much and doesn't seem much smarter Elysia."

Scholar: "According to the intelligence, we should be... some kind of antisocial personality? An Yu."

An Yu: "Not surprising at all."

Model Five: "Why can't it be me?"

The Great Magician: "Let's give An Yu a surprise tomorrow. First, let's get rid of the most arrogant one, and then slowly play with Elysia. The stage will be much quieter then."

Conductor: "@Everyone, be ready to suppress An Yu and Model Five with your three personalities at any time. They might be up to something."

An Yu: "Hehe."

Model Five: "..."

[Everything seems to be going well.]

[Tonight, Kevin will wield the Seven Thunders of Retribution, combining them with his own abilities and the Fifth Divine Key, to kill everyone in that area, including Aponia.]

[The good news is that after spending a day in the Deepest Place, he felt much better.]

[Aponia sat in the distant church, her expression sorrowful; there was no one else around, no army.]

[If An Yu really knows the plot, as long as he kills Aponia and survives, humanity will hardly pose a threat to him.]

[Coincidentally, An Yu didn't know the plot, and even if she heard it from Aponia, she couldn't really relate to it.]

As dusk fell, Kevin stood on a distant high-rise building, a spot overlooking the entire area below, yet completely out of sight of those below. He adjusted his breathing and waited quietly.

Are you looking for me?

A familiar voice came from May's direction. Kevin almost instinctively gripped his weapon, but quickly released it.

Vill-V and May, who were standing to the side, didn't seem surprised, since everyone knew that Kevin had been affected.

"Shall I give you the Seven Thunders of Retribution now?" Vill-V hesitated.

Kevin hesitated, his aura completely calming down, and then he shook his head.

But the Seven Thunders of Retribution still struck him, piercing his heart from the back, just as his old power dissipated.

Vill-V's expression remained calm. "Congratulations, you've found me."

An Yu: "Hey! Why isn't anyone saying anything?"

An Yu: "Arrogant fools?"

An Yu: "Hello? Is anyone else here?"

Why does An Yu sometimes chat in group chats?

As the Seven Thunders of Retribution erupted, frost filled the surroundings. In the last moment before his consciousness was consumed by excruciating pain, Kevin burned his life force to unleash his power, placing the icy shackles on Vill-V's body!

At the same time, Dystopia, who was waiting in the distance, did not hesitate at all. Her powerful telekinetic energy transformed into an invisible blade, tearing apart the temporarily imprisoned Vill-V!

The Black Abyss Unleashed! Not far away, the Kosma pierces Vill-V's body with the Abyss Flower.

"Senior, don't worry," Kosma's voice was urgent.

"Watch out, Kevin!" May shouted.

As Kevin gasped for breath, even struggling to breathe, the White Flower: Clear Spring Abyss Flower in Kosma's hand quietly transformed, and Black Abyss delivered the final blow.

Damn it An Yu!
