Abstraction for a bad world

Chapter 189: Martial God Festival, Start! (4.1k)

He won the title of God of War for three consecutive years and deserved the title of No. 1.

But the second one is...

Yuan Qingzhuo couldn't help but lift up the booklet and pointed it at the little girl who was restrained and tied up with silk thread not far away and was screaming and twisting in mid-air.

——【Gluttony】?
Rank 2 on the Martial God List.

Below are rows of kill records, so many that they can hardly be written down.

But what is puzzling is that there is not even a record of the honor of the Martial God Festival.

"How can this guy still come to participate in the Martial God Festival...?"

I thought she was here to be a mascot along with Temperance, but I didn't expect she would have to take part in the Martial God Festival. More importantly, her rank was second only to Victory!
You know, even though Andsia was the number one candidate for the championship, he had been squeezed to the tenth place on the Martial God List!

Yuan Qingzhuo didn't know what expression to make.

But in short, the expression is complicated.

In this case……

"So, she's not a legend yet?"

“——Not a legend, but better than a legend.”

A restrained and dim voice suddenly came from behind the three of them, startling Caroline. She raised her eyebrows and patted her chest.

Feeling the intensity of the struggle increasing, Jiezhi increased the strength of the silk thread on his five fingers again, and then said calmly: "It is natural that you have the authority of [Gluttony] and are stronger than ordinary core-casting rank."

authority.

This kind of thing should be possessed by legendary figures only... or part of it.

Anyone who can obtain complete authority at the legendary level, even if it is a small authority in a remote corner, can be regarded as a dragon among men.

Rush couldn't help but ask, "In other words, all she needs to do is eat and eat to become a legend?"

"That's the theory, but she doesn't want to simply advance to the next level and become another ordinary glutton in the endless cycle of reincarnation..."

Temperance pointed at the silk thread in his hand and said, "Using 'temperance' to limit 'gluttony' is also her request. Now she knows that I am a man who keeps his promises and will not let her go. She is just talking nonsense."

Yuan Qingzhuo silently looked at Gluttony, who was weak, pitiful, helpless, and about to cry, and glanced at the tiny fingertips of Control that were trembling at a frequency that ordinary people could not detect.

Oh my god, Ace admires the domain god.

To be honest, these young couple have quite a lot of fun.

Yuan Qingzhuo pretended not to notice and glanced at him, coughed, and expressed his confusion without changing his expression: "If that's the case, why is Gluttony not among the candidates for the championship?"

“Strong strength does not equal winning the championship.”

Temperance responded: "Even though the competition for the title of Martial God is one-on-one, the complicated rules of the previous competition are not... and Gluttony usually lets his temper run wild and then gets eliminated in the audition."

"The title of Martial God really has no appeal to her."

Jiezhi pointed to the empty seat in front and motioned the three to move forward. "It would be better to replace the words 'participating in the Martial God Festival' with 'public-funded travel' - go and complete the formalities, three of you. I wish you a good ranking in your first trip to the Martial God Festival."

Yuan Qingzhuo nodded: "Thank you very much."

Caroline grinned and patted Temperance's shoulder, and Rush bowed slightly to Temperance.

The three of them walked forward.

"So you three are from the monastery..." Andesia shook his head and smiled warmly: "I almost forgot."

"Please Sir Andesia."

Yuan Qingzhuo nodded slightly to the knight, and received a cheerful reply from the latter: "It's no trouble, no trouble. I'm so happy to be able to help you reduce some of your difficulties... How can it be called a trouble!"

Then, the three of them quickly completed the formalities with the help of the knight.

Powerful, wise, and amiable, he was like a legendary figure from a storybook, embodying the eight virtues. He was worthy of the title of Sun Knight.

This was Yuan Qingzhuo’s first impression of Andesia.

Then, the three of them immediately received temporary identification cards
It was the first time that Yuan Qingzhuo had seen this thing - which was natural, because how could a small countryside monastery with a total population of only tens of thousands need it?

"What's next?"

Caroline tried to bite the surface of the identification card with her canine teeth, and the shock caused her teeth to hurt.

"Of course, we should investigate these opponents carefully."

Rush held three booklets in his arms, lowered his head and began to count on his fingers: "Who are the people who have confirmed to participate in the Martial God Festival? How much have their strengths changed this time? What are their personalities like? And what abilities have they demonstrated..."

"Hey hey hey stop stop stop!"

Caroline covered her forehead with her hands, grimacing. "Stop naming dishes, little Rush. It gives me a headache!"

Rush sighed.

"Then Sister Caroline, just go out and have fun in the city." Rush looked at Yuan Qingzhuo and paused when he was about to speak: "As for me, I want to go collect information by myself for a while."

"If you need help, just call me."

Yuan Qingzhuo casually waved a martial arts will to locate Rush without asking any further questions.

Looking at Rush's reluctant expression...it's obvious that he has a reason why he has to "collect them alone".

As for the reason, Yuan Qingzhuo felt that there was no need for him to ask.

"Why don't you ask the little teacher to come with you?"

Caroline had originally prepared to wander around alone, because in principle, her sister Rush's request would definitely take priority over hers...

But Rush actually refused Yuan Qingzhuo's request to follow?

Then you can't blame me.

"That's fine! Let's go, little teacher, and take a walk outside first!"

Without waiting for Rush to say anything, Caroline, with a smile on her face, grabbed Yuan Qingzhuo's arm and ran out of the door of the temporary residence of the cult.

After silently watching the two people go away together for a while, Lash calmly said to the guy who suddenly communicated with him using magic:

"I don't care whether you are Old Roland or the King of Death, or whether you are an experienced intelligence officer. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer..."

The girl didn't continue talking.

On the other end of the communication, the intelligence officer who was specially sent by the King of Death to assist Rush suddenly felt a chill on his back. He was actually frightened by this greenhorn.

She was planning to give the little duke a warning and then go on a slack trip, just like taking an extra long vacation.

Just an hour later.

"Lord Rush, please give me your orders."

The Blood Demon Intelligence Officer dressed in black knelt on one knee respectfully and kissed the back of Rush's fingers.

The girl silently withdrew her hand and asked in a cold voice: "My news can no longer be retrieved?"

"Yes, conservatively estimated, there are already more than 100,000 copies of your images, photos and text materials circulating in the Kabbalah." The intelligence officer hesitated for a moment and offered his opinion: "Do you need me to release false information about your abilities..."

"No need."

Rush glanced at the intelligence officer indifferently: "My brother, you know."

"Yes... Lord Yuan Qingzhuo?"

"Now that you know, then you should focus your propaganda on me and my brother." Rush paused and emphasized, "Pay attention, put the two of us together."

The intelligence officer lowered his head in confusion: "I will follow your will."

"Next, tell me all the information I need right here, and if you don't have any, send it to me within three days."

The intelligence officer who was about to take out the information was slightly stunned: "Here, narrate?"

"Correct."

Rush bent down, grasped the intelligence officer's chin tightly, and said with cold purple eyes:
"Here, now, tell me everything you know word for word."

Three days flew by.

Caroline had a great time running around, Yuan Qingzhuo saw many species that were only found in books, and Rush also collected a lot of information.

Everyone has a bright future.

"Brother Zhuo, this is for you..."

Lash took out a round pendant from his pocket as if nothing had happened and handed it to Yuan Qingzhuo. She smiled and said, "While collecting intelligence over the past two days, I also bought some local specialties. This can be considered a talisman."

Yuan Qingzhuo took it, looked at the almost identical pendant on Lash's neck, and put it on his neck: "As expected of Lash, he is really capable, unlike some people..."

A certain freeloader snorted with a hint of meaning: "Seeing that the Martial God Festival has started, these shop owners want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. The prices of these things are shockingly expensive. It's really a rip-off!"

The girl curled her lips in displeasure: "You can't let me, Caroline, steal other people's things!"

"It's okay, Sister Caroline. This is for you."

Rush took out an exquisite dagger engraved with many micro-spells from his waist and handed it to Caroline with a look of disdain on her face.

"Huh? It's for me?" Caroline was suddenly at a loss: "Huh? I actually got one too?"

"Well... I thought Sister Caroline would disdain these so-called amulets and other small things, so I bought a dagger that can be used in the Martial God Festival later!"

Completely correct.

Caroline blushed and blinked, taking the dagger sheepishly: "Um...little Rush, thank you."

"You're welcome, Sister Caroline."

Rush's cheerfulness made Yuan Qingzhuo a little confused - did something good happen to her in the past two days?

Although it is good to gain a lot of intelligence, can this be considered a "good thing"?

Yuan Qingzhuo didn't have time to think about it, because along with the ringing of the mighty bells, a breath that made his heart tighten descended on the entire base of Kabbalah.

"My name is Jichu, and I have come to the Moon Sky on behalf of my Lord to announce the opening of the Martial God Festival."

The indifferent voice sounded in the mind of every creature at the bottom of Kabbalah.

"This Martial God Festival adopts the principle of [voluntary participation] - that is, even if the Martial God Festival participant who currently holds the chess piece is at the bottom of Kabbalah, he or she can choose not to participate in this Martial God Festival."

"This Martial God Festival uses the rules of [Mimic Life] - that is, after everyone officially participates in the Martial God Festival, death in the Martial God Festival is not a real death. It will only lose part of the soul strength. After that, you can choose to become an [Observer] or withdraw from this Martial God Festival."

"Ten seconds later, a door that will last for half an hour will appear in front of every participant. If you choose to walk through the door, you will be immediately teleported to any place in the Second Heaven, Mercury Heaven. Walking through the door means you have chosen to officially participate in this Martial God Festival."

After exactly ten seconds, a pale white door and some basic words appeared in front of each contestant:

"——From now on, the Martial God Festival officially begins."

As the last words fell, the basic aura disappeared.

It seemed that He really just played the role of a simple messenger.

"Randomly teleport..."

Caroline was about to speak when she saw many members of the cult walking through the door.

In less than two seconds, most of the cult's base, which was originally overcrowded, was cleared out.

"Don't worry."

Reaching out and grabbing Caroline's shoulders, Yuan Qingzhuo quickly said, "Although I don't understand the rules of the audition yet, is it okay for me to be the first to gather after entering?"

Rush nodded.

Caroline replied seriously: "No."

"Then set this goal first - of course, you don't have to think about it blindly. If the rules are special, you will need to make your own judgment based on the specific situation."

Yuan Qingzhuo instructed the two of them, then threw the [Link] on Rush.

Then, the girl felt herself suddenly become stronger... twice as strong!
Although letting Caroline take the link would bring greater benefits, Rush is the weakest among the three, so there is nothing wrong with Yuan Qingzhuo's approach in the early stage.

Without saying thank you, Rush nodded to Yuan Qingzhuo with a serious expression, and then said: "Then hurry up."

Without saying anything more, the three of them stepped into the white door in front of them.
.
After a brief moment of dizziness, Yuan Qingzhuo opened his eyes.

——What appeared before his eyes was a simple thatched hut.

To be precise, he was "born" inside a thatched hut.

After quickly reading the audition rules, Yuan Qingzhuo stood up with a frown.

Because a completely new status popped up on his panel.

[Mild erosion: You are at the junction of the abyss and reality, your body and soul are being slowly eroded without knowing it. Perhaps after being exposed to this environment for decades or hundreds of years, you will become a new erosion species. (Because you have the "Gift of the Burning Sun", it has been invalidated)]

"What's going on? Is this place above the fifth level of the abyss? Why is there still erosion..."

Yuan Qingzhuo didn't have time to think more, because the strong smell of blood outside the house mixed with screams had enveloped him.

[Rule 1: Contestants will have a special attribute "Good and Evil Value", which will change according to the contestants' behavior towards the natives, and contestants will have both good and evil at the same time, and the two will not cancel each other out! ]
.
"The whole land is filled with the smell of erosion species. Is this what happened before it was swallowed by the abyss?"

Andshia expressionlessly pulled out the silver spear from the humanoid monster in front of him, but after the monster fell down, he placed his hand on its head.

Faint black lines emerged from the monster's body and flowed into the knight's palm.

The knight closed his eyes, and the blazing spiritual essence dissolved the monster into nothingness like the sun.

He listened to the vague gratitude in his ears and replied softly:
"Rest in peace, my friend..."

Then he quickly rushed towards the shadow of the city on the other side of the horizon.

Above the knight's head, there was a brilliant golden light that moved with him.

[Rule 2: Only when you have completed your own chess pieces can you enter the next round! The coordinates of the contestants with complete epic and legendary chess pieces will be clearly visible to everyone! ]
