Chapter 491: 223: The Two Heroes
Inside the Cross Refuge, Karlando felt the prison warden suffer a heavy blow.
In this instant, he finally had no time to concern himself with the unparalleled.
Yet, for the unparalleled, a moment was amply sufficient.
The God of Games and Entertainment, in fact, has much in common with the God of Difference and Chaos.
Both construct unreasonable entities.
It's just that one builds a game world that must adhere to rules.
While the other constructs strange items that break the rules, or directly breaks the rules themselves.
For the God of Games and Entertainment, this world—as long as it can be dragged into his game—is basically fated to become a plaything.
But through his strong passive abilities, the unparalleled manages to have a brief moment of "free time."
Even so, Karlando should have had the situation well in hand.
Until—the prison warden was heavily injured.
"Impossible!"
Karlando couldn't understand how such a thing could happen.
His first reaction was to "resurrect" the prison warden.
But by then the unparalleled had already appeared behind Karlando.
On a real level, Karlando ran out of time.
...
...
The black dungeon, the Teleportation Rift Plaza.
When the manic little Mark used human flesh as a medium, forcefully driving the Binary Annihilation Spear capable of erasing everything towards the prison warden...
The prison warden suffered a heavy blow, and the entire world also seemed to display the signs of destructive collapse.
But at this moment, the prison warden's body, which had been dissolved by the spear, was gradually recovering.
It seemed as if a tremendous Life Recovery Power had suddenly been injected into it!
This was Karlando's backup plan.
A powerful boss, of course, must have a "resurrection mechanism."
What he recently enjoyed watching the most, was just when players thought they were about to clear the game... the boss resurrected on the spot to their delight.
At this moment, Karlando established a connection with the prison warden.
And for the first time through the prison warden's eyes, he saw the inheritor of the God of Difference and Chaos—Zhou Baiyu.
That day, Karlando realized something.
The corruption in the Long Summer region was far less intense than outside.
Beings as strong as the Demon Emperor were probably among the highest echelons in that area.
But this place held the future and possibilities. The objective of the Pantheon was to spread corruption and pollution throughout the whole Advanced World.
Perhaps even they did not know why they did this.
But one thing was sure, doing this would increase divine power.
And the unparalleled, as well as the Mutator in front of him, would undoubtedly become the biggest obstacles on the Pantheon's path of expansion in the future!
And there might be others, just that he had not noticed them.
"They must not be allowed to grow."
At this moment, in Karlando's eyes, killing Zhou Baiyu became a higher priority than dealing with the unparalleled.
He forcefully manipulated the prison warden, quickly identifying the whereabouts of the skull symbol through his own game view.
Even though he also noticed that Mark's performance was more noteworthy, the skull symbol was on Zhou Baiyu.
One of the prison warden's mistakes was not killing Zhou Baiyu but wasting time here with Mark.
So instinctively, Karlando manipulated the prison warden to activate the anti-cheat mechanism, ready to eliminate the spear.
The prison warden had extremely powerful Life Recovery Power, and even though it wasn't invincible, as long as it wasn't instantly killed, it could recover shortly after being heavily injured.
But the effect of this spear was even more dreadful; theoretically, given enough time, it could erase the entire game world clean like an eraser.
So the spear must be dealt with first, to prevent it from completely erasing the prison warden.
His line of thinking was undoubtedly correct.
Zhou Baiyu suddenly realized, through the vision brought by the power of the God of Games and Entertainment in his eyes, that there was a red skull symbol on the prison warden's head.
The name of the prison warden had not changed, still Elran, but above the name, now there was Karlando's name with the skull symbol.
A skull symbol means a mortal enemy.
"Has there been a replacement, or did the game master take over the boss's body?"
Zhou Baiyu's heart gave a start.
Karlando, he noted the name. This person had to be a very strong Polluter, a high-ranking follower of the God of Games and Entertainment.
But now, Zhou Baiyu no longer had any options, he could only pray that the spear would destroy Karlando before Karlando could eradicate the spear.
But the timing of these two events was different, Karlando only needed one glance to use the anti-cheat system to erase the powerful spear.
While the spear took several seconds to erase the prison warden's body.
At this moment, Zhou Baiyu had already prepared for the worst, readying himself for a protracted battle with the game master.
But what he feared... it didn't happen.
The prison warden's gaze had initially focused on the spear, but the next second... the warden's whole body stiffened.
He exhibited a bewildered look! Clearly able to destroy the spear, he made no movement to do so.
Zhou Baiyu was incredibly surprised, but in the next moment, he showed an expression of wild joy.
This brief paralysis turned the tide of the sudden battle, bringing the suspense to a close.
Zhou Baiyu even vaguely guessed the answer:
"Could it be... that the unparalleled, they inflicted heavy damage on the actual body of the Game Domain's owner?"
He was indeed right.
In the far reaches beyond the portal, the unparalleled used the Power of Space-Time... to run a dagger through the actual body of Karlando.
Inside the black dungeon, with the help of the manic little Mark, Zhou Baiyu severely injured the prison warden, gaining a window to turn around an otherwise hopeless situation for the unparalleled.
