Chapter 444: 203: The Vanguard_2
Even during the game process, Karlando had received hints regarding the rules, but he didn't even need to care about the rules of rock-paper-scissors.
"It's a pity, the demon race is such an annoying existence, even at the last moment, their spirit and will are at full capacity, filled with a fighting spirit."
If possible, Karlando really wanted to make Blood Demon into a character in the game.
But this would require him to torture the spirit and will of the Blood Demon until the value reached zero.
"I knew it, I should have chosen a decryption game."
The game world slowly collapsed. Along with it, the body of Blood Demon rotted away. Blood Demon had one last move, Blood Explosion, which was its life-saving divine skill.
Transforming into a mist of flying blood, as long as a single drop of blood could leave the battlefield, it could rebuild its body by attracting nearby blood.
But Karlando didn't give it the chance to use this life-saving divine skill.
Because in Karlando's game world, perhaps only a very few passive abilities could be effective.
Basically, all active abilities were unusable. Mutation was considered a special case.
In the era of the gods, the God of Games and Entertainment repeatedly slaughtered the inheritors of the God of Difference and Chaos.
Because the God of Games and Entertainment discovered... no matter what, the Mutators couldn't seal away the ability to mutate.
No matter what kind of game was created, it seemed those damned inheritors would mutate something peculiar.
Some things had no effect on cracking the game, and even... most Mutators would be killed by these things.
But for the God of Games and Entertainment, who could seal almost all active abilities, mutation was like a thorn.
This was why the God of Games and Entertainment always paid special attention to the God of Difference and Chaos.
In a sense, seeing others as a game is akin to seeing them as entertainment.
And the God of Difference and Chaos also seemed to be an entity that loved finding entertainment.
When the two gods of entertainment met, the God of Games and Entertainment fully believed—
He could easily kill the God of Difference and Chaos and become the true god of entertainment.
But the outcome, well, he really ended up like entertainment.
Going back to the matter at hand, Karlando, using his ability to seal abilities, dragged the Blood Demon into the game world and successfully completed the kill.
Soon, Karlando began to decode, using his own abilities to find his next target.
"It's a pity, my teammates have already been turned into data, and I can't observe them, but just by observing others, I can figure out what the rules are."
Karlando didn't find his prey right away.
After dealing with the demon race, he became interested in the pioneers. Moreover, through observation, Karlando discovered... some groups had already formed.
"According to the rules, each side needs to complete a kill or reduce their numbers, each team starts with three people..."
"This is quite interesting."
According to Karlando's thoughts, Corrupt Kind and Corrupt Kind would have a showdown, as would demon races when encountering their own kind.
The Polluted Kind was the same, even if they were all from the Pantheon, these fellows would not hesitate to kill each other in order to survive.
So, seeing so many red dots gathering together, moving towards one location, delving into the Tianyuan area, stirred Karlando's interest.
"Only the Pure Walkers with Pure Walkers, Pioneers with Pioneers, would have this kind of tacit understanding, and moreover, in this group of Pioneers, there exists someone who convinces everyone."
Karlando found his direction and quickly headed towards the cluster of red dots.
...
...
Transfer station.
Among the nine intermediaries, each one was very anxious; they were all waiting for Mo Sangyu's peering.
In the channel of intermediaries, the nine intermediaries were also communicating.
"I can see a major victory, but I also see a severe sacrifice," Su Wang said.
As an intermediary of the God of Cause and Effect and Destiny, although he hadn't entered the battlefield, thus unable to see the specific trajectories of destiny's threads.
But Su Wang, through observation of himself, could still glean some insights.
"Indeed, it's a cauldron stew of Corrupt Kind, Polluted Kind, demon race, and Pure Walkers all mixed together. Currently... the Pioneers are continuously decreasing, but the numbers of the Corrupt Kind, Polluted Kind, and demon race are decreasing even more," the sole peering one, Mo Sangyu, said.
"Does that mean we're winning?" the intermediary of the God of Strength and Destruction, Yan Gu, asked.
Mo Sangyu didn't speak:
"A pivotal battle is about to commence, the team led by Tian Xia Wu Er... may possibly face the strongest enemy."
Although the most prominent pioneer lately must have been Jiang Xianwu.
But probably except for Lin, other pioneers would think that the strongest pioneer, or the future of the pioneers, must undoubtedly be in Tianxiawuer's hands.
Because at this moment, Mo Sangyu's perspective was focused on Tianxiawuer.
...
...
An unknown island, roughly three kilometers west in the direction of the eastern star position.
In a grove of rubber trees, Tianxiawuer, Huan Liuyan, and Xingmeng Wuchang, the strongest configuration of the team, were heading west.
The gathering place was also the position of Tianyuan.
"The aura of the island is mixed. What we need to do now is gather the pioneers. When pioneers come together, it allows strong individuals to become stronger and the weak to fill the gaps."
"This is not an easy task to accomplish," Xingmeng Wuchang yawned.
However, soon Xingmeng Wuchang realized that others might not be able to do this, but Tianxiawuer could...
Just by mentioning this name, no pioneer would be unwilling to follow.
Perhaps relying on Tianxiawuer's name, they could gather a large group of pioneers.
"You have recently been very close to Jiang Xianwu and Guang Tongchen. It's been a long time since we acted together."
Tianxiawuer implied something.
Xingmeng Wuchang said frankly:
"Previously, I wondered why you valued Guang Tongchen so much. After interacting with him, I found that he, like you, possesses a very special charm—but also different."
Huan Liuyan didn't speak; she listened to the two men talking, observing the surroundings.
In fact, she was not too worried; after all—getting close to Tianxiawuer was in itself a difficult task.
If the three legendary pioneers were to perish here, it would likely be a devastating blow to the entire pioneer community.
So Huan Liuyan thought clearly, all she needed was to perform well and follow Tianxiawuer closely.
"Tell me, how is it different?"
Tianxiawuer and Guang Tongchen, two legendary pioneers, had always been compared, and both were recognized as the strongest.
But most people still tended to think Tianxiawuer was slightly superior.
But Tianxiawuer clearly also cared deeply about this rival.
"Tianxiawuer, you are the kind of existence people look up to; everyone will follow you out of respect for your strength. But Guang Tongchen... is the kind where people feel the safety he brings and choose to trust him," Xingmeng Wuchang said.
"That guy has no ambition; he's not your kind. You are about pioneering, he's about protecting."
"It's not a matter of who is better, but being with you creates pressure, an unconscious desire to become stronger, while being with Guang Tongchen... probably feels reassuring?"
Xingmeng Wuchang's answer gave Tianxiawuer some insight.
"You are not the same kind of person and don't need to be, but it's best not to become enemies, or else it would be very difficult for me."
Tianxiawuer did not respond to that statement.
He was an absolute victorist, not one that stemmed from inflated confidence, but he firmly believed such people as himself would inevitably lead the pioneers towards humanity's future.
Before this happens, he would respect Guang Tongchen, but afterwards, he couldn't say.
Suddenly Tianxiawuer asked:
"Then what about Jiang Xianwu?"
Xingmeng Wuchang thought for a moment:
"Jiang Xianwu, he is quite complex, hard to describe, he is a variable."
"How so?"
After serious consideration, Xingmeng Wuchang smiled and said:
"Faced with a difficult crisis, if I had to choose, I would trust you or Guang Tongchen, not Jiang Xianwu. Faced with a fatal crisis, I would still choose you or Guang Tongchen, not Jiang Xianwu."
"But if a disaster occurred that absolutely no one could resolve, when it seemed all we could do was wait to die..."
"I wouldn't despair; I would choose Jiang Xianwu."
Tianxiawuer thought this answer very interesting:
"This is probably the first time Jiang Xianwu and I have appeared together in a summons, Wuchang. I suddenly look forward to that desperate situation you mentioned."
