Chapter 327 The Non-existent System
"Ugh..."

With a muffled groan, Yu Zhun quickly adjusted his position in mid-air, looking at Perofas with deep astonishment in his eyes.

In that instant, the power his opponent displayed far exceeded his expectations; their strength seemed to have surged out of nowhere, and even the attacks of the others had no effect.

In particular, the pseudo-death effect added by Yu Zhu, a powerful control effect that Yu Zhun had always thought he could not remove on his own, was completely ignored by Perofas.

No, now is not the time to think about that!
Seeing Perofas rushing towards Yu Zhu, Yu Zhun's eyes darkened. Without hesitation, he moved forward, gritted his teeth, and parried the opponent's slash. At the same time, he shouted, "Get some distance!"

"I'll handle him, you all stay away!"

As he spoke, Yu Zhun stomped his foot, causing the other person to shift away from his teammates.

His attributes were greatly enhanced by the [Power of Greed]. Although he struggled against Pelopas, he could barely hold his own. If the others had been the ones to fight, the situation might have been different.

Upon hearing Yu Zhun's words, Helmod lightly tapped the ground with the end of his staff, and four golden halos appeared beneath his and the other three's feet. In the next instant, he led the four of them to distance themselves from Perofas.

[Holy Flame Envoy] Exclusive Skill: [Divine Migration]!
As they created distance, Helmod's sacred fire and Udyr's arrows continued to rapidly envelop Pelopas, minimizing the pressure on Yu Zhu. At the same time, Yu Zhu raised his hand again.

"treat!"

The Potion King's exclusive skill: [Game of Blood]!
As a devastatingly powerful healer landed above Pelopas's head, Pelopas let out an angry roar, and his health bar plummeted by over 90%, leaving only a thin layer of health remaining.

It worked!
Yu Zhun and the others all showed expressions of joy.

Perofas's health is so high that even with Yu Zhu's stats, he can't kill her with a single skill.

But it's already good enough to cripple them; we just need one more...

Before the thoughts in their minds had even settled, the expressions on Yu Zhun and the other four's faces had already frozen.

Because of a casual gesture from Pelopas, an open book appeared in his other hand, shimmering with a green aura, and his already low health bar was almost completely restored in an instant.

"How is this possible?!" Yu Zhu's exclamation rang out.

She stared incredulously at the book in Pelofas's hands.

That was actually a weapon for the priest profession?

But Pelopas always carried a longsword, clearly indicating his warrior profession!

Yu Zhun and the other three were equally shocked.

If they were only shocked by Pelopas's strength and the previously unheard-of Server 0 to which he belonged...

At this moment, what shocked them was the operation that Pelopas had demonstrated, which was theoretically impossible to occur in the world of divine revelation!
Despite being a warrior, he actually took out a priest's weapon and used a priest's healing skill!
And then, Pelofas showed them with his actions that this was just the beginning!
After restoring himself to full health, Perofas put away the priest's book, and a staff appeared in his other hand.

With a heavy stomp of his staff, a terrifying fireball that nearly filled the entire space swept rapidly toward Helmod and the others in the distance.

This guy can even use a mage's weapons and skills!
Yu Zhun's pupils suddenly contracted, and an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes as he looked at Pelopas.

Melee-focused players cannot use ranged skills; this is almost an ironclad rule. However, in the face of this deceased player named Pelopas, all the rules that restrict players seem to disregard them.

"Bear!"

Helmod held his staff in front of him, and golden holy fire raged up, desperately resisting Pelopas's effortless attack. With Yu Zhu's help, they held out for a long time before finally managing to block it.

His expression also became unusually solemn during this process.

This is definitely a spell skill that only a mage can cast.

But why is it that only one of the enemy's warriors can use it?

"That's a bit outrageous..." Lu Wen clicked his tongue. "He doesn't even know the skills of archers and assassins..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Wen abruptly shut his mouth.

Because Pelopas, who was in a stalemate with Yu Zhun, dropped his longsword and, as he retreated, a bow and arrow appeared in his hand.

He drew his bow with one hand and nocked an arrow with the other, and in the next instant, everything in the field was enveloped by a volley of arrows.

Yu Zhun flashed back to the group, and with a flick of his wrist, a candle with a swaying flame appeared in his hand.

Before the incoming arrows engulfed everyone, the space attached to the secret treasure [Hidden Realm Candlelight] had already taken them all inside.

Upon entering the space, Yu Zhun and the other four breathed a sigh of relief, but as they looked at Perofas, who stood outside the space and never left their side, by the light of the candle, their expressions became serious again.

"What do you guys think?" Helmod spoke first, breaking the silence. "What's going on with this guy?"

"It's hard to say." Lu Wen shook his head slightly. "Perhaps we need to figure out first what exactly Server 0 is?"

"After all, this guy came from server 0."

“If I’m not mistaken…” Yu Zhun’s eyes lit up with thought, and after a moment he slowly spoke, “Server 0 might be a place like a test field.”

“You have all gone through the second-stage trial, so you should be able to see that the background of the second-stage trial is almost exactly the same as that of the world of divine revelation.”

"You mean, Server 0 is the world corresponding to the second-tier trial?" Yu Zhu couldn't help but ask.

“No.” Yu Zhun shook his head slightly. “This person named Pelopas is different from the world in the second-stage trial in every way.”

"His equipment is all legendary and has been enhanced to +25. This alone is something that you can't get in the second job advancement trial world."

"In addition, this guy named Pelopas can use weapons of different professions, but it seems that he can only use standard profession weapons at present. However, in the second job trial world, weapons are completely unrestricted and can be any shape and form."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhu and the others nodded in unison.

Having gone through the second trial, they knew that Yu Zhun was right.

"If that's the case, what exactly is going on with this Server 0 where Perofas is located?" Lu Wen couldn't help but ask.

“I have some guesses, but before that, I need to understand some things.” Yu Zhun’s gaze turned to Helmod. “Have there been any rule changes for you earliest servers?”

"For example, there was a certain rule at the beginning, but it disappeared or changed later."

“Our servers have existed for a very long time, but if what you’re describing were true, I think it would be recorded in history books.” Helmod shook his head. “So, it probably isn’t.”

“That’s right.” Yu Zhun nodded slightly. “If that’s the case, then I’m at least 60% sure of my guess.”

"What's your guess? Just tell me!" Lu Wen urged impatiently.

“As I just said, Server 0 is a place that’s like a testing ground.” Yu Zhun said, both amused and exasperated. “Actually, this is just speculation.”

“From a world like the Second Rebirth Trial World, to our current Divine Revelation World, and filling it with a large number of rules, it must not be a simple matter. At the very least, it will require optimization step by step.” “But our Divine Revelation World has had constant and unchanging rules since its birth, and all servers follow the same rules.”

"That alone is incredible."

"So I think that server 0 might be the one used in advance for experimentation and rule optimization."

"After God1 perfected all the rules on server 0, we now have all the servers we have."

"You mean..." Helmod was somewhat moved. He looked at the quiet figure standing outside through the candlelight, "because Server 0 is a testing ground, so Perofas can ignore some of the rules we currently have and demonstrate greater power?"

“Yes.” Yu Zhun nodded slightly. “And I suspect that Perofas is probably not a warrior class.”

"Perhaps it is a completely new profession that is separate from the current five professions, or a profession that has been canceled by God1."

"Such a profession existed in the past?" Udir couldn't help but ask.

"There's a high probability of that." Yu Zhun nodded slightly. "That would also explain the significance of universal skills."

“General skills exist in the initial job stage, but in theory, job differentiation becomes clear after the first job change, so general skills shouldn’t still exist.” Yu Zhun paused slightly.

"But in reality, general skills are available not only in the first job advancement stage, but also in the second job advancement stage, and their numbers are increasing."

Don't you think this is very abnormal?

Upon hearing this, the others were suddenly taken aback.

Yes, why are there so many general skills among intermediate and advanced skills?
and…

"Sword Dance skills have always been universal skills!" Lu Wen suddenly said in a deep voice.

Both the basic skill [Sword Dance] and the intermediate skill [Peerless Sword Dance] are universal skills.

Moreover, the advanced general skill corresponding to this skill is extremely similar to the posture of Pelopas using different weapons in succession just now!
Upon realizing this, everyone was shocked.

Could it be that what Yu Zhun said was true?

“If I’m not mistaken, the general skills are specifically designed for professions like Perofas,” Yu Zhun said slowly. “And the Perofas profession has another characteristic.”

"It means you can use all the skills of the other five professions."

"Perhaps we can call this profession 'freelancer'."

"That is, players without a fixed profession!"

"No fixed occupation..." Yu Zhu was stunned for a moment. "How is that possible? The first thing I did upon entering the Divine Revelation World was..."

At this point, she suddenly found herself unable to continue.

To enter the world of Divine Revelation, you must choose a profession. This is the current world of Divine Revelation, but as Yu Zhun just mentioned, Server 0 is not the current world of Divine Revelation. Instead, it is an experimental field with incomplete rules.

So, you might be able to get in there even without choosing a profession!

“Your guess might have some merit,” Helmod said in a deep voice, “but even if you guess it, what good will it do?”

“Of course it’s useful.” Yu Zhun smiled. “You all saw what happened just now. Perofas, who can use five professional abilities at the same time and whose stats are ridiculously high, is almost impossible to defeat.”

"If my guess is correct, then perhaps we can use this as a basis to come up with a way to deal with Pelopas."

Upon hearing this, the group all showed thoughtful expressions.

Is this based on Yu Zhun's conjecture?
According to Yu Zhun's guess, a casual player like Perofas didn't choose any class, and therefore could use all class skills and general skills at any time, making him a bug-level existence.

So, what are the drawbacks?

Suddenly, Hermo realized something, and his eyes lit up. "It's a job change!"

"All our current professions require a job change at Lv30 and Lv60 to continue leveling up. While job change is a limitation, it is also a significant boost."

“Without choosing a profession, it’s very likely that you won’t be able to change professions!” Helmod paused slightly. “Although this allows him to directly reach Lv90 without any barriers, it inevitably has its drawbacks!”

At this point, Helmod suddenly remembered something, his eyes lighting up. "I remember now!"

"The spell he just used on us was a high-level mage skill called [Crimson Roar]!"

"Perhaps, due to the limitations of his profession, he cannot use any of the exclusive skills of the first and second job advancements. Although he can use mage skills, he is limited to all the skills that can be learned by mages!"

"The healing skill he just used seems to be an advanced healing skill that priests can learn." Yu Zhu looked thoughtful.

“And his arrows,” Udyr suddenly interjected, “that’s also the archer’s advanced skill, [Endless Rain of Arrows].

“Now that you mention it, I remember too.” Lu Wen stroked his chin. “The warrior skills he used during his fight with Yu Zhun were all class skills that any warrior could learn.”

“Look, isn’t this a new discovery?” Yu Zhun smiled and then added, “Moreover, the fact that he has no profession and cannot change professions means that Perofas has no professional passives, or even professional talents.”

"From this perspective, although the opponent can use the abilities of any profession, it seems that they are also at a significant disadvantage." Lu Wen stroked his chin.

“Yes.” Yu Zhun nodded. “Understanding this will make our response process much easier. Besides…”

"Udyr, have you tried using your talent on him?"

“…No.” Udyr shook his head.

Players who die in the Tower of Spirits generally don't have very high talents.

Instead of choosing them to activate their talents, Udyr should choose one of his teammates to activate their talents. This way, he can easily obtain a powerful X4 talent and make better use of it.

Therefore, even when facing a formidable opponent like Pelopas, Udyr never considered using his professional talents against him.

"We can try it after we go out later," Yu Zhun said meaningfully. "Perhaps there will be a pleasant surprise."

"Then what are we waiting for?" After listening to everyone's analysis, Lu Wen was eager to try it out.

"Open the door and let me in!"

Yu Zhun: "..."

His lips twitched slightly, and he raised his hand to open the door leading out of the hidden realm.

The five people rushed out of the hidden realm at the same time, and Pelopas, who had lost his target and was standing still, quickly looked up at the five people.
