The day after returning to the hotel, the players were still within the 24-hour safe period.
The fifteen newly added players have been very cautious since entering the instance. The news has spread like wildfire in the teleportation hall that this instance has unprecedentedly had player replacements, and twice in a row.
What's even more insane is that the system lists the reasons for player deaths on a scrolling screen, and almost all of them are due to being killed by Jiang Nuo.
Madman Jiang has gone on a killing spree in this instance; who knows if their newly added members will suffer the same fate?
During breakfast, the fifteen new players huddled together, watching Jiang Nuo and the others enter. The more timid ones had already begun to brandish their weapons.
Qiu Su: "I heard from Yue Zhou that you're all ready?"
Having been cooped up for so many days, Tuoba Hong was finally able to show off his skills. He couldn't wait even a quarter of an hour and hurriedly nodded, saying, "Yes! God Nuo said that all the preparations are complete."
Yue Zhou spoke softly, turning to stare at Jiang Nuo, "What will you choose?"
Jiang Nuo leaned against Si Yan's chest, looking pleased, as if she was eager to try.
"Opening the door won't work, I'm going to destroy the system."
The path of opening the door has already been proven by the previous generation, and the price was heavy.
He prefers taking adventurous paths.
Destroy the system, and everyone can return to their previous world. Even if that doesn't work...
At least his mission is complete.
Zhou Ling toyed with the astrolabe and divination cards, a cold smile playing on her lips, "Today is auspicious for battle."
Chu Liu believed that Jiang Nuo had spared his life, and he never dreamed that he could actually destroy the system and go home.
He silently clutched his weapon, ready for battle.
The fifteen new players on the other side:???
What are you talking about?! How can you destroy the system?! Are you even speaking human language?!
The waiter served them breakfast at the usual time. Jiang Nuo had just eaten half a honey bread when suddenly he flung the plate, hitting the waiter squarely in the throat, killing him instantly.
It's like sounding the battle horn.
As the replacement player exclaimed in shock, all the NPC waiters in the restaurant were killed. The manager and security guards who rushed over hadn't even transformed into monsters yet when Si Yan transformed into a sword and slashed them to death with lightning speed.
"Wait... what are you doing?!" One of the replacement players couldn't sit still any longer, fearing that these people had gone berserk and they would be next.
Are you all crazy?!
Jiang Nuo casually grabbed a dinner knife and tossed it at them, making a face at them. "You have two minutes to get out of the hotel. Countdown begins."
" Jiang Nuo! What are you doing! Do you want everyone to pay with their lives?!"
"One minute and fifty-nine, one minute and fifty-eight..." Jiang Nuo sat on the dining table and swung her legs.
"Damn! This lunatic actually did it! Stop cursing and run!"
"Who knows what they're up to! Going against the system? That's suicide! How come Madman Jiang is even crazier after coming back from seclusion!"
In an instant, the entire hotel lobby was in an uproar, filled with various curses and shouts of people fleeing.
The monsters hidden in the hotel were all forced out, their foul-smelling slime dripping all over the hypoallergenic area, turning the entire corridor into ruins, filled with the stench of blood.
They blocked Jiang Nuo's path, serving as both a warning and a deterrent.
Jiang Nuo pulled out several extremely powerful system weapons from his spatial storage. With the magnetic force of 0732, the bombs were launched, instantly causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Tuoba Hong exclaimed in shock. " God Nuo is mighty! Give me a few to play with!"
Jiang Nuo tossed it to him, then tore apart the elevator door that the monster had smashed into with his bare hands, his eyes filled with pleasure and interest, the crimson rose petals before him shimmering even more.
Yue Zhou was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, she and Zhang Quan had coordinated to place all the explosive bombs on every floor, ready to kill any ghosts they encountered.
Zhou Ling set up an array outside the hall. Qiu Su's black magic was very powerful and could provide a continuous source of power to the array.
Tuoba Hong's spiritual power permeated the entire hotel; any monster weaker than him could be crushed by the contraction of his spiritual power.
Chu Liu followed behind Jiang Nuo, killing some monsters and throwing a few bombs along the way, not daring to hold him back in the slightest.
The replacement players were initially confused and cursing, but when they heard Jiang Nuo say they could start bombing and saw the entire dungeon hotel collapse, they suddenly fell silent and began to flee outside like madmen.
Time seemed to stand still or slow down at that moment.
The hotel's collapse seemed to have lasted a long time, yet it also felt like it happened in an instant.
By the time the replacement players, who had witnessed all of this, reacted, the entire hotel had been reduced to ruins, buried beneath the corpses of various monsters, with flames still burning.
A scene resembling the end of the world.
Ahhh, that was so satisfying! No way, God Nuo can't just play games normally!
[ God Nuo awesome! Destroy this place and go home as soon as possible!]
Not only the Fate Hotel, but also other streets and buildings in this instance world are smashed at the slightest provocation.
Soon, a piercing crackling sound of electricity rang out.
A gigantic hemisphere rose from the other end of the city, its cold, mechanical electronic eyes opening and rolling as they watched everyone.
They bring countless monsters that roam freely through the city, their sole objective being to kill rebellious players.
"My God! That's... the system?" The person who said this lowered their voice.
This is the master of all instances, a system that can control their lives at will.
024 was forced to descend upon this instance, and the enormous electronic eye reflected its dissatisfaction with Jiang Nuo.
" Jiang Nuo, long time no see."
The system and Jiang Nuo actually know each other!
The players filling in for the other player looked at Jiang Nuo in disbelief.
Jiang Nuo sat on a broken rock, her elaborate and gorgeous clothes fluttering in the wind, her laughter strange and unrestrained.
"Long time no see, you damn system."
024: "You've come back again, to destroy me?"
"Otherwise, why would I want to catch up with you?"
Jiang Nuo: "You still talk so much nonsense."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Ling, who was already prepared, immediately deployed an array that enveloped the entire city.
Si Yan stood in mid-air, raising her hand to send pebbles flying, her Spiritual Power sweeping across the ground filled with the smoke of weapons, and she ruthlessly flew towards 024.
" Tuoba!" Zhou Ling shouted suddenly, applying pressure at the core of the formation and channeling a continuous stream of magical power into it.
"Receive!!"
Tuoba Hong once again used his mental manipulation skills to try and win over the fifteen newly added players.
The Yue Zhou stood atop the ruins, chanting magical incantations, and the monster's power gradually diminished.
At the same time, Jiang Nuo approached the hemispherical shape of 024 infinitely, and a powerful force emitted intense waves of light that spread infinitely.
From the moment Jiang Nuo returned to the instance, 024 began to plot and try to kill him directly.
But to my surprise, Jiang Nuo has grown so rapidly, far surpassing what she experienced when she first left.
"Based on your experience with your father, I also felt that we would be destroyed, but the outcome was clearly not what humanity desired."
The electrical hum of 024 grew stronger and stronger, seemingly surpassing that of this civilization.
" Jiang Nuo, you will not succeed."
"All of humanity will witness your death."
024 opened the link program for all copies, and all screens in the teleportation lobby displayed the screen.
The players in the lobby were all drawn in, incredulous.
"Come quick! Look what this is!"
"Are you crazy...? This is... a system?"
" Jiang Nuo... is challenging the system?" Just saying that was enough to terrify them.
"So that's the real reason Jiang Nuo went into seclusion this time..."
While ordinary players were utterly stunned, the remaining players in the top 20 of the leaderboard had different thoughts.
The closer they are to the ranking set by the system, the more they can learn.
For example, some of the seemingly tragic players are actually system clones designed to drag other players into the mess, making it impossible for them to escape.
For example, the system has been making increasingly large-scale moves lately, and it is very likely that it is expanding its world.
"How about... we hold a meeting?" the third-ranked person suggested, shouldering a cannon and clearly in combat stance.
"Walk."
