"——The Flower of the Flaming Sword!"
The dazzling flaming sword light bloomed in a corner near the top of the Shenshan Mountain with the dull sound of shouting. The flying brilliant light also brought flying metal debris and screaming figures to the depths outside the ridge. , Jian Beidong, who threw out this explosive sword strike, then put away his chopping posture while panting, and started a new round of running with the cold sweat wiped off his forehead - he had completely got rid of the Having restrained and surrounded him, he had shaken off a large number of shouts of killing and was now walking on the road leading to the top of the mountain. His body, already exhausted from the long battle, could only rely on the skills attached to the weapon to persevere. Even as the battle continued, it seemed that he could not stop his extremely determined advance. Even the results of the killings were much higher than when he was besieged before.
If it hadn't been for the attention attracted by some ominous omen that was happening on the top of the mountain, this man might have left these opponents who had been toying with him for a long time with a sarcastic smile and a lack of interest and listlessness. Gone away.
"Have you done enough acting? Even the pressure of the encirclement is much less than before."
He muttered this sentence as if to himself. Jian Beidong, who was still walking, stretched out his hand to catch another thief player who rushed forward, but when he changed his hand, he was knocked to the ground by his exquisite sword. He caught him in front of him. : "What's happening up there?"
"Ahem, cough...hehehehehe, how could I tell you? Just hold this question mark and fall into the abyss of regret...ahhhhhhh!"
Without hesitation, he thrust the blazing sword into the opponent's chest. Jian Beidong, who had no emotion in his eyes, backhanded the body like a candied haws and flew towards the foot of the mountain: "Since you don't want to say it, then I'll go by myself." Take a look, anyway, even if I die from exhaustion, you can't do anything to me..."
The latter part of the sentence was muttered by the blood-stained swordsman player in an increasingly quiet voice. Already aware that the situation was getting worse, he could not hide the uneasiness in his heart at this time. As the pace accelerated again, he looked behind him: "...No."
"Forget it, I am enough alone."
Not finding the figure he wanted to find among the large crowd of players chasing him, Jian Beidong used several consecutive leaps to dodge the ensuing long-range magic and bow attacks, cleanly and sharply. The Huayan sword was flashing up and down in his hand at this time, instantly covering his eyes reflected in the air: "Although the reason is very good, after all, I am the one who accepted the gift of the orange weapon."
"I can't ignore both emotion and reason."
Once again, they climbed over a hill made of scrap metal. Jian Beidong's originally calm expression finally began to turn serious. The dark altar that had been entangled by dark clouds for a long time and was surrounded by a roaring storm was also around. Amidst the increasingly louder collision of gold and iron and the roar of energy, something faintly appeared under the swordsman's raised eyes: "——Yu Shang!"
Jian Beidong let out a loud shout involuntarily, and jumped down from the height where he was. Several player teams that had already received signals from his teammates then jumped out of their respective ambush points with their own swords and swords, and entangled themselves. The various restrictive magic lights also hit the location where Jian Beidong landed in the next moment: "Stop him!"
"Don't get close easily! Hold him back! This guy doesn't have much energy left!"
"Use earth magic and wind magic to interfere! Don't use ice magic, it will be restrained by fire!"
"Shield warriors, block the gap, and the remaining archers aim-"
"Mr. Jian Beidong."
Amidst the sounds of countless fierce battles, a confident smile from a member of the Avengers could be heard outside the heavily encircled circle: "Give up, we are blocking all the way forward and backward. You have no chance."
"If I still have enough strength, this dense formation will be a living target for me." Jian Beidong's sneer sounded out from the countless energy interweavings that could no longer be found: "But I still have spare life potions and Even with the stamina potion, this level of siege still can’t kill me.”
"We didn't originally intend to kill you, we just wanted to stop you here." The captain of another besieging team also waved the shield in his hand and laughed softly: "Please be the leader at this time. Just a spectator, just watch the final outcome of the ceremony honestly."
"——"
With eyes wide open and slashing in anger, Jian Bei burst out along the front of the ridge, but the sword energy without enough strength was quickly offset by various protective magics. Jian Bei, who was already on the verge of reaching his limit, Dong then had to raise his sword to block the long-range counterattacks that came one after another. His sight, which was almost drowned by various magic binding skills, was also raised to the high ridge - countless black clouds wrapped in strange lightning. In the scene where the elephant has eroded to the top of the mountain, the altar at the top of this energy intersection has been completely covered by the black and terrifying howling wind. The figure of Whispering Liushang, who is at the center of this energy storm, has also become difficult to see. After identification, only the crystal clear white Valkyrie armor and the long flowing blue hair were still shining with the last light of life in front of all the players, including the middle-aged leader: "——The sacrifice ceremony finally began, well!"
"In this way, the door to the other world will be opened immediately." At some point, she approached the center of the altar, and the middle-aged woman in red also regained her graceful look on her face: " Through the Goad system we control, we can pass the certification of the 'Circle of Destiny', and in this way, we will have the opportunity to control the entire free world."
"Duan Qingnian... the regret of the Magic Empire's failed invasion may be made up for by our ceremony this time." Finally, a smile of relief appeared on his face, and the alliance leader, who was staring at the sky, replied in a low voice. : "The virtual world has developed into the fourth generation, and no one has ever peeked into the secret of the optical brain through the game world. The time three years ago was supposed to be an opportunity, but——"
"It doesn't matter, the mistake that man committed will be repaid by his woman." The graceful smile turned into a twisted and crazy smile, and the eyes of the woman in red leaning next to him flowed to the woman who was being held captive by countless chains. The black energy swallowed up the whispers flowing on his body: "Isn't that guy who likes to appear elusive very good at appearing at such critical moments? Why didn't he show up this time? Humph, I was looking forward to him coming out at this time, and then watching me helplessly The evil he committed will come back to bite his own woman! But I still can’t do anything! Hahahaha——"
The increasingly shrill laughter suddenly stopped in mid-air. The sky and the earth of the altar, which seemed to have been completely swallowed up by black energy, also seemed to be frozen in place at this moment, losing the entire space scope of the passage of time. Later, it gradually became clear in the scene where the black energy occupying this place gradually dissipated, and the oppressive atmosphere that was hard to breathe also loosened a little with the strange scene of these sticky sluggishness gradually flowing out. The bells that clarified people's hearts then passed by everyone's ears indistinctly during the manifestation of this process. Along with it, the mist that dyed everything around into chaos was obscured in the light pillar that penetrated the sky and the earth. In the picture of the sky, the ground that was supposed to appear under the feet of the middle-aged man and woman also disappeared under the loud ringing of the bells, leaving only the criss-crossing black chains that stretched to the end that could not be seen. Under the swirling dark clouds, there was an incessant tinkling sound: "This, this is -"
"Is this the other world?"
Letting out a cry of surprise, the woman in red clapped her hands together and took the lead to take a step forward: "An inner world that is deeper than the void world and can change all surface existence? We finally made it in!"
"These chains should be the systematic mapping of the fate line, so they can appear in front of us." He was not as happy as the other party showed, and the middle-aged alliance leader's expression seemed much calmer at this time: "If you observe carefully, every link The chains should all represent the fate of individual existences in the game world, and the directions they extend and indicate also point to the positions of those previous individuals."
"In the model we hypothesized earlier, these iron chains that once appeared in the results of experimental sacrifices also appeared in this way." Unable to restrain her excitement, the woman in red looked around and circled: "And Since the existence that manages them all originates from one place, the sacred mountain we are in is most likely the place closest to this 'source' in the model!"
"Is that the Ring of Destiny?"
She raised her head and pointed towards the source of the loud bell. The woman in red pointed excitedly at the swirling clouds above her head that had not dispersed. Countless dark iron chains were also scattering towards the woman in red. Every corner of the range continues to extend, trembling gently in the frozen world: "Ah, ah! The great God of Destiny! Distea, who has been passed down by word of mouth by countless destiny weavers! Your believers finally meet it's your turn!"
"It is we who initiated the ceremony of the Altar of Destiny and summoned you here." His expression looked much more mature and steady, but the alliance leader on the side gradually stepped forward, pressing his chest: "We have no intention of offending the dignity of Destiny, but if you allow it, please Answer our call and listen to our pleas.”
"..."
No response came, and the chaotic and hazy space seemed not to flow or change at all due to the words of the two people. The chaotic vortex standing quietly in the center of the sky was now like a huge eye in the endless dark abyss. , looking at the only two people who can move in this space with pupils expanded and occupied by chains: "...What's going on? No response?"
"Even if it is really a dead thing, it is always right to test it first in this way."
The middle-aged leader shook his head and stopped stroking his breasts and then looked back at the woman beside him with indifferent eyes: "But if it is really a rigid system, then it will be difficult for us to start, because The first thing we need to determine is how to perform the access operation——"
"Who said I'm a dead thing?"
The sudden sound then overshadowed the loud bells. The mature and charming female voice also calmed the two players present who were still discussing passionately. However, the next moment, the mysterious voice noticed something. He hurriedly corrected his unhappy attitude: "Ahem, I mean... you did a good job, adventurers."
"Welcome to the kingdom of destiny."
The echoing sound that pierced the ears filled the left and right sides of this chaotic space with the sudden amplification of the mysterious person's words, as if the gray mist that originally surged around this space had become thinner and brighter: "With a mere adventure As a person who has achieved this step, your efforts are enough to win my praise. Your actions have liberated the imprisonment that has been imposed on this sacred mountain for thousands of years, allowing me and my country to regain a new life."
"You, are you really Distea?"
After muttering the name again, the woman in red subconsciously took two steps and was stopped by the arm of the leader: "Dear Distea...goddess, it is an honor to hear your love for us. With affirmation and approval, your rebirth will definitely spread the light of destiny to the entire free world, bringing new vitality and light to this place."
"Oh? Oh, that's right. Is this place already called the Free World? It's such a strange name." The voice of the mature woman from the center of the intersection of chains seemed to be slowed down by half a beat: "A thousand years are enough to change many established things." The truth is, nothing is permanent in the face of my power."
"That's right, adhering to the will of the goddess of fate, everything here will be reborn for you." The middle-aged leader bowed his head politely: "Please, Goddess, you can see that we have made so many efforts and sacrifices. For the sake of it, meet some of the small requests of us believers.”
"The believer's request...hehehehe."
A moment of silence was followed by inexplicable laughter, and the voice from the center of the swirling abyss seemed to become brighter with the arrival of light all around: "Of course, but -"
“Where are your efforts and sacrifices?”
The thought stopped for a moment with the emergence of this question. The woman in red suddenly turned her eyes in a certain direction to the side with her eyes wide open. The whispering woman who was supposed to be tied up in that place no longer knew where she was at this time. When it disappeared, only the jingling sound of the scattered chains hanging down was still acting as a taunting sound: "She, she ran away! That cunning woman! Sure enough, she still has a way to escape!"
"The price for deceiving the goddess of fate is very heavy." The demonic voice that penetrated the ears was almost in front of the two people, and the question from the mysterious woman also sounded like a dusk bell in the center of the chaotic space: "There is no way to please me. Are you trying to make undue demands in front of me as a sacrifice? Is this the greed of you adventurers that has not changed for thousands of years?"
"No, that's not the case!" The middle-aged leader swallowed hard and forced himself to calm down, spreading his arms to both sides: "We have really prepared the sacrifices, otherwise the door to the other world will not be open. Only if you know how to open it! There must have been some misunderstanding! I, we—"
"It doesn't matter, your wishes and requests are still valid."
The cold voice of questioning returned to normal the next moment, and the sweet words of the mature woman who was close at hand seemed to linger in their ears: "As a reward for coming to this world again, I am happy to be in this kind of place" Give in a little bit on small issues."
"As long as you are willing to offer a new sacrifice as a replacement, I will forget about the transgression and rudeness just now."
