Second to One

"Are you the only administrator of ' The Breath of the Mute '?"

Qin Yiguan remained expressionless, gazing intently at the young man.

"Not just managers."

The arrogant young man on the throne declared, "I am the developer, operator, and manager of ' The Breath of the Mute '."

Qin Yiguan's eyes widened slightly. "Then you truly deserve the title of 'genius'!"

"Hehe."

The boy on the throne raised the corners of his mouth and said, "I think so too."

Immediately.

The young man on the throne sized up Qin Yiguan. "You are also a very special person. You are the only one who can enter the game without my authorization."

"Um..."

The young man squinted at Qin Yiguan, "You didn't use my special helmet at all, and you didn't enter via network signal. Your consciousness entered ' The Breath of the Mute ' independently!"

Qin Yiguan remained silent.

The boy on the throne is right in his analysis; the ' Boundless One ' is one of his own personalities, that is, a consciousness that has been split off separately.

As for myself now, it's not wrong to say that my physical body has entered the "Breath of the Mute," nor is it wrong to say that my consciousness has entered the "Breath of the Mute"!

after all.

Unlike the Taotie Clam, I do not have a body wearing a helmet in the Metaverse!

"What you just experienced was a reminder from me."

The boy on the throne laughed and said, "You need to understand that no matter what abilities you possess in the Experimental Zone, once you enter here, you are no different from other players; you are completely under my control!"

"As for why you were able to see me."

The young man on the throne tapped lightly on the armrest with his fingers and smiled again, "It's because I feel we can cooperate."

"Cooperate?"

Qin Yiguan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The young man on the throne said, "I have already witnessed your ability to seamlessly traverse my game world. Now, I'd like to know, can you bring others along?"

Qin Yiguan pondered for a moment, then understood what the other party meant. "You want me to bring more people into your ' Breath of the Mute,' into this world where you are the sole ruler, a world entirely under your control?"

"Right!"

The young man on the throne looked excited. "In this world, there are some older people who aren't very interested in games, but they have high social status and great power... As long as you're willing to cooperate with me and bring them in..."

"In that case..."

The boy on the throne had a strange glint in his eyes. "Then I won't have to kill them! I can control them directly! Coerce them! I can even create life-size Mechanical Proxy for them, making them work for me in reality!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yiguan slowly said, "Trying to control high-ranking officials? What else are you hiding..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

A cold raindrop landed on Qin Yiguan's forehead. He raised his hand and gently wiped it away. Then he looked up and saw that the roof above him was made of stone and was completely dry.

Qin Yiguan was puzzled.

Suddenly, a light, icy rain began to fall from the sky.

To be precise, these raindrops appeared out of thin air.

But the young man on the throne was eagerly awaiting Qin Yiguan's words. He reached out and a black umbrella appeared in his hand, shielding him from the rain. At the same time, he pointed and another black umbrella appeared out of thin air beside Qin Yiguan, hovering quietly in mid-air, shielding Qin Yiguan from the icy rain.

Then, the young man on the throne laughed and said, "Continue."

Qin Yiguan was somewhat puzzled; could it really rain in this virtual world?

Most importantly, even the 'King' on the other side could only get drenched?!

Qin Yiguan's eyes flickered.

The next moment, he continued, "You want to control the powerful and wealthy in reality, which means there's another purpose hidden behind ' The Breath of the Mute '? And a very ambitious one at that?!"

"I have no evil intentions."

The boy on the throne, holding an umbrella, declared, "My only goal is to make ' The Breath of the Mute ' accessible to everyone!"

Qin Yiguan slowly said, "The whole nation?!"

"Right!"

The boy on the throne grew increasingly excited. "Everyone! I want everyone to enter ' The Breath of the Mute,' to live within Breath of the Mute! To build the most wonderful world together! Gemini Metaverse can give them, I can give them too! I want everyone to abandon the Gemini Metaverse, everyone to abandon the Experimental Zone!"

"Oh."

Qin Yiguan suddenly laughed, "You want to create another Metaverse within the Gemini Metaverse? It's like blowing a soap bubble inside a giant soap bubble, and then that smaller soap bubble gets bigger and bigger until it eventually occupies all the space inside the giant soap bubble."

The boy on the throne suddenly pointed a finger, "Your analogy is very apt!"

Qin Yiguan shook his head and laughed, "You want to replace the Gemini Metaverse, and you yourself want to become the Gemini Superbrain! And all your actions are being carried out on the platform of the Gemini Metaverse?! Don't you think that's ridiculous?"

The boy on the throne raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you afraid the Gemini Superbrain will interfere?! You're overthinking it! It doesn't care about anything! It doesn't have human emotions! So it has no sense of crisis, no vigilance, and even if its management is taken away, it won't have any emotional fluctuations. It won't care at all what I did!"

"The Experimental Zone has become so cruel and bloodthirsty; have you ever seen it take action?! Within the Metaverse, it lets everything run rampant; anything can happen!"

now.

The young man on the throne leaned forward, his gaze burning. "Let's cooperate and together promote the ' Breath of the Mute.' I can grant you supreme authority; you'll then be a God in this world! Only I can control you, but you'll be second only to me, above all others!"

"I'm actually quite interested in the idea of being God."

Qin Yiguan spoke slowly, but the next moment, his eyes flickered, "But I hate the term 'below one person'!"

But then Qin Yiguan's body suddenly lunged forward.

With his right hand, he brought his five fingers together in a 'hand chop' shape and slashed at the young man's neck in an instant.

Click!

A section of neck bone protruded from the back of the throne boy's neck, looking extremely ferocious.

In that instant, all his spinal nerves snapped.

The boy on the throne had bulging eyes, his face slowly lost all color, and then his head slowly slumped down, and he died!
