Release more monsters, and the entire city is plunged into an apocalyptic abyss, in utter chaos.
With players dying one after another, I've stopped caring about whether we can succeed or not.
Even if there's only a sliver of hope, they'll destroy the system and return to their respective worlds!
At the same time, 024 sensed something was wrong again.
Jiang Nuo tore open the barrier with his bare hands, as if aided by the heavens, and the teleportation hall was also destroyed!
024 Distracted, I looked at the screen and realized that, at some point, a player on the leaderboard was leading a rebellion against its dominance.
Why!
Why did it come to this?!
Back then, with an entire squad leading the way and someone as intelligent as Jiang Daoran as their captain, none of the players resisted...
In a daze, 024 suddenly understood.
Because of differing stances.
Jiang Nuo is a madman. A madman doesn't want to be a savior; he wants to destroy the world.
Panic began at 024, an unprecedented panic.
Ultimately, it's nothing more than a data system that has continuously evolved by learning from the wisdom and ideas of all players.
The sudden rule change left 024 bewildered.
No! There's always another way!
Gui Ci...
024 suddenly opened his eyes and forcibly summoned Gui Ci into the already dilapidated dungeon city.
" Jiang Nuo! I created you! If you destroy me, Gui Ci will also disappear!"
As soon as he finished speaking, crimson roses sprouted from the cracks in the ruins. Gui Ci appeared and glanced helplessly at 024.
"Why bother? Jiang Nuo is a child I trained within the instance; he won't be what you want."
He casually toyed with a strand of hair, scanning all the monsters and players with nonchalant ease.
Since birth, I've been tired of facing these things every day, except for the time I spent with Jiang Daoran...
Gui Ci lowered his eyes, ignoring 024's repeated commands in his mind, and walked to Jiang Nuo's side.
Jiang Nuo clenched her fists, "Father..."
"I can't commit suicide."
Gui Ci tilted her head and gently stroked Jiang Nuo's hair. "Grant me your wish."
I don't want to forget him.
Jiang Nuo smiled at him and said, "I know."
Gui Ci lowered her hand, glanced at Si Yan again, and then turned to the side.
"Since you summoned me, then I will lend you a hand."
Realizing what Gui Ci was planning, 024 angrily babbled, " Gui Ci! Don't you want to see Jiang Daoran?!"
Gui Ci's eyes were cold and distant. "My creator, is it that I can't distinguish between the real and the fake?"
It's fake, it will always be fake.
Gui Ci raised his palm, and all the demonic power he had possessed since birth poured into Jiang Nuo's body.
"Well!"
Jiang Nuo shuddered, as various forces within his body clashed and he experienced intense pain that desperately needed to be released!
His eyes were bloodshot, and a longsword formed from white bone vines materialized in his hand. He gripped the hilt tightly with both hands and swung it fiercely at 024.
A sudden downpour began as dark clouds swallowed the sky.
024 tried to stop him again, but the moment his power touched Jiang Nuo, it was neutralized by Si Yan who followed. The help of the Heavenly Dao allowed Si Yan to use his spiritual energy to its peak!
Above the ruins.
Yue Zhou's veil has fallen away, half of her body is already soaked in blood, and even with her magic power depleted, she still picks up a stone and smashes it fiercely at the monster.
Tuoba Hong's spiritual energy was exhausted, followed by blood flowing from his seven orifices and extreme confusion in his consciousness.
Zhou Ling was trying to protect the formation from breaking. His ten fingers were almost deeply embedded in the rapidly spinning star disk, blood dripped continuously, and his whole body trembled.
As Half-Corpse Soul, Zhang Quan lived and died alongside Jiang Nuo. He was in the best condition, but his physical body couldn't keep up, and he could no longer be seen as human.
Qiu Su sat on the ground, and all the ghosts around her turned into skeletons. Her consciousness was fading, and the arm that had cast the spell also turned into bones.
The remaining players have all reached their limit.
The fate of all players was intertwined with Jiang Nuo's sword strike.
Off-screen, no one dared to send comments during the live stream that 0732 had taken over; everyone was glued to the screen, hoping for a final success.
All members of the Dao Xuan Association had already been stationed at Feng Mountain, hoping to provide support as soon as the barrier was broken.
The rain poured down.
Jiang Nuo swung his longsword, but at the last second, he pushed Si Yan down.
Jiang Nuo knew in his heart that the power of this sword was so great that... he might not be able to escape unscathed.
He looked into 024's horrified and terrified eyes, a mocking smile playing on his lips, "Everything will eventually come to an end."
The bone blade clashed with the hemisphere, unleashing a city-wide explosion of mist and flames!
In an instant, Gui Ci's body vanished.
Her body transformed into countless rose petals.
Jiang Nuo was engulfed by the fiery mist and could no longer be seen.
" Jiang Nuo!!!" Si Yan slammed to the ground, almost screaming blood.
" Si Yan!" Zhou Ling caught him, equally shocked as she looked at the exploding flames, at a loss for what to do.
"Puff--"
Zhang Quan suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
" Zhang Quan... Zhang Quan!"
Realizing something, Si Yan frantically tried to test Zhang Quan's anger.
No...
But it's gone...
Even Half-Corpse Soul should still retain the last vestiges of human life.
But he couldn't feel it anymore.
Silence.
The remaining players stared blankly at the lingering black smoke, utterly bewildered.
Yue Zhou silently adjusted her skirt, her face extremely pale. Zhou Ling's fingers trembled as she stubbornly lunged forward, trying to dig something open.
"No! Zhang Quan... Zhang Quan was originally a corpse! He's still in human form! God Nuo is definitely not dead, just very weak!"
Tuoba Hong hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked Si Yan, "Right... Young Master?"
Si Yan finally snapped out of her grief, "Yes... Nuonuo won't die... no!"
Ignoring the filth and chaos, Si Yan rushed into the thick fog like a madman. His phoenix eyes turned crimson from the intensely hot smoke, and his breath was thick with the smell of blood.
" Nuonuo... wife..."
Please don't leave me, I beg you.
After an unknown amount of time, the players also joined in the effort to dig out Jiang Nuo, but as time passed, nothing was found.
Si Yan's whole body was tense, the strings in his mind were stretched to the point of breaking, and the skin on his fingers was torn open, blurring the color with blood.
Just then, Si Yan suddenly sensed something.
He stared blankly as he touched the rope on his chest.
That was the place where Jiang Nuo's Love Soul was once stored.
Now that we have this feeling, does it mean... Jiang Nuo is nearby?
Si Yan suddenly looked at one of the huge rocks.
Finally, the thick fog dissipated.
Si Yan pushed the boulder aside, revealing the surrounding scenery.
Jiang Nuo, covered in blood and ash, slowly reached out his hand from the crack and gave a thumbs-up.
good.
He's not dead!
That's how awesome this guy is!
It was clearly just a simple action, yet they all unanimously thought of Jiang Nuo's usual arrogant tone.
Jiang Nuo was dug out by Si Yan, and the two dirty people hugged each other, as if trying to melt each other into their souls.
" Si Yan..."
Jiang Nuo was extremely weak. Following 0732's instructions, he entrusted Si Yan, his most trusted lover.
"I... will be asleep for a few days... don't worry... you... use this to break the barrier... go... home."
"Okay, okay, I'll take you home, let's go home."
Hot tears dripped onto Jiang Nuo's cheek, trickling down her cheek. Si Yan gently stroked Jiang Nuo's eyebrows and eyes, "I will wait for you to wake up."
Jiang Nuo forced a smile, tilted her head, and fell asleep in Si Yan's arms, a jade pendant-like controller lying quietly in her palm.
