Chapter 484: 220: The Man Who Wrestled with God_3
Overconfidence breeds arrogance, and arrogance allowed the Warden to kill these dense hallucinations with great satisfaction.
Although there were astronomical numbers of hallucinations, they had no physical model and mostly overlapped each other.
The Warden could kill tens of thousands of entities with just a touch.
Zhou Baiyu felt that with every step the Warden took closer—
he was one step closer to death himself.
"All I can do is still only mutate items," he said.
"But the items I mutate will be destroyed by the Warden. If only I had some means to confuse the Warden at this moment, I might have a ten percent chance of winning."
For a Mutator, a ten percent chance of success was enough.
But what exactly should he do?
The enemy was also aware of the Mutators, so the moment he touched an item with both hands, it was likely that the Warden would perform an anti-cheat mechanism check on him.
"Stay calm, stay calm. He's enjoying spreading fear to me bit by bit."
"The Warden's arrogance is my only chance. Zhou Baiyu... think carefully, you must have a trump card!"
Suddenly, Zhou Baiyu remembered that he seemed to have gained an additional trump card not long ago.
"I don't know if it will work, but now I must try," he decided.
...
...
Cross Base.
After Tongchen returned, he immediately issued the order to evacuate the base.
Bai Ling was very cooperative.
The organizational capabilities of the two were top-notch, and soon, under their planning, the main force started moving towards the direction of the drawbridge.
Rock, paper, scissors, three large formations moved in an orderly fashion.
At the rear of the main force, Bai Ling looked at Tongchen.
"Aren't you leaving?" she asked.
"I will stay behind to cover our retreat," Tongchen said calmly.
He moved against the crowd, heading towards the Cross Base's teleportation gate.
Bai Ling frowned:
"According to you, we can't withstand those creatures, your staying behind won't make any difference."
Tongchen smiled:
"As the leader of the vanguards, I must do something different."
Bai Ling didn't understand:
"Acting tough? That doesn't sound like something you would do."
The teleportation gate was already beginning to distort.
This meant that something was about to come out of it.
Guang Tongchen spoke at this time:
"Don't worry about Tongchen, he'll be fine."
Bai Ling looked at Guang Tongchen, remembering that he seemed to have a good relationship with Jiang Xianwu.
"He's not into personal heroics. If Tongchen decides to do something, he must be confident about it," Guang Tongchen said, despite not liking Tongchen, he didn't skimp on praise.
Bai Ling no longer insisted. She didn't dislike Tongchen, feeling he was one of the very few who could be on the same level as Jiang Xianwu in some aspects.
Guang Tongchen and Bai Ling quickly disappeared, heading towards the main force.
Out of the teleportation gate, Karlando, dressed in pontifical vestments, slowly stepped out of the rift.
On the other side, Tongchen stood with his hands behind his back, looking completely at ease.
He was very clear that someone had to hold back the invaders so the main force might stand a chance to survive.
The tyrant of the Pantheon and the tyrant among the vanguards met for the first time.
"As a red dot on the map, you're quite a special existence, but if it's just you alone... isn't that underestimating the enemy?" Karlando taunted as he removed his hood, revealing his face:
"My name is Karlando, and I'm the one who's going to kill you."
Tongchen hadn't expected that this monster wasn't one from the Black Dungeon; it actually... looked like a player.
He hadn't underestimated the monster, nor did it make him feel restrained:
"Tongchen. According to the information from the Prophet, I will appear in later versions, so... you today, will definitely not be able to kill me."
