Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 358 Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-

After the audience had fully understood the rules.

[Princess of Joy] casually tossed the microphone in her hand to Nightmare.

And he blew a few kisses towards the audience.

In an instant, blood flowed like a river.

Regardless of age or gender, many of the deceased could not even be identified in terms of gender, leading to suspicions that they were not carbon-based life forms at all.

They were all in high spirits, their eyes glazed over as if they were high on drugs.

Under extreme excitement, it is inevitable that blood will flow from the nose.

Moreover, there were many people who bled from all seven orifices.

What's bizarre is that even though the scene looks so bloody it's nauseating.

Yet, none of them showed any sign of pain on their faces.

All that exists is—joy.

This mental pleasure even made them forget their physical pain for a moment.

"As expected, the big boss's nature hasn't changed at all."

"That's fucking His style!"

Only Wu Wang, who had long been in contact with the [Desire Sea Spirit Lord], knew this.

How terrifying this high and mighty venerable one must be.

His desires will cause everything to fall into ruin.

Even now, as the "Princess of Pleasure," her essence of influencing all things with her own laws still remains.

If His true form were here.

Wu Wang had no doubt that a raging sea of ​​desire would erupt in the next second.

It completely submerged the entire world, causing everything to sink to the bottom of the sea.

"Did everyone understand the rules of the game?"

"Then let's officially begin—the [Civilization Showdown]!"

"Please wear this sticker on your temple, and when you are ready, shout out loud—Link Start!"

Nightmare threw out a few dreamlike stickers from her hand and placed them in front of everyone.

The sticker was about the size of a mineral water bottle cap.

But it contains a power that makes people want to drowsily sleep.

The Mongolian top laner, whose resistance was slightly weaker, started yawning within seconds.

boom--

The one next to him, Gargantull, is even more of a heavyweight.

He wasn't very bright to begin with, and the moment he got the sticker, he fell fast asleep.

The little zombie on the basket slapped the other's forehead with a look of utter disappointment.

Even after Wu Wang stripped away Gargantuar's "copper skin and iron bones," his physical defense capabilities were in no way inferior to armor.

The little zombie slapped himself a few times, but ended up slapping his own hands until they were bright red.

You can only place the sticker on your temple as instructed by the nightmare.

With that voice, which had degenerated to the point of being a zombie, he spoke words that were completely unintelligible.

Finally, he collapsed onto Gargantull and fell into a deep sleep.

The other contestants followed suit.

In the end, only Wu Wang and the witch were left on the stage, staring at each other in bewilderment.

He joked, "It's so late, why aren't you getting your beauty sleep? How old are you, sister? Be careful you don't get wrinkles."

The witch chuckled softly and replied, "A girl's age is a taboo subject that can't be asked. Do you always talk so in a way that makes people want to curse you?"

Wu Wang shrugged, appearing indifferent.

He said in a serious tone, "Those who want to criticize me do so because they don't understand me."

"Oh? So those who know you won't want to scold you?" The witch raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled.

Unexpectedly, the guy shook his head and said, "No, those who truly know me not only want to curse me, they would rather beat me to death."

After saying that, Wu Wang also placed the sticker on his temple.

He shouted out the words he had wanted to say from the very beginning.

In an instant, consciousness fell into a deathly silence.

He suddenly went limp and collapsed to the ground.

A hint of helplessness flashed in the witch's eyes.

My original plan was to first get closer to the widow and then learn more about Yan Shuangying through her.

Unexpectedly, neither of these two, master and apprentice, were easy to deal with.

Hearing about Yan Shuangying from other people's mouths is just a superficial understanding.

Now I've come into contact with Yan Shuangying's student, the widow.

She could already sense that tricky way of communicating from this guy.

Behind the seemingly carefree and cheerful exterior lies a cold indifference that keeps strangers at bay.

Even without asking the Star Witch, she could sense it—

The other party resists any form of deeper social interaction.

It was like a piece of frozen iron.

He is impervious to all temptations and cannot be harmed by any laws.

"Are you ready? If you don't want to participate in this game, I can grant you that privilege and leave midway," Nightmare said to the only witch still awake on the stage.

His expression was so sincere and earnest.

It seemed as if he was genuinely considering the matter for the witch.

Knowing the other party's ulterior motives, the witch slowly placed the sticker on her temple.

He said expressionlessly, "Leaving privilege? I'm afraid if I really leave, people will immediately think I'm not worthy of this spokesperson position and try to renege on the status He has given me."

"But please don't forget, I am someone's spokesperson."

"I will personally maintain order, and no one can break it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she closed her eyes.

Consciousness began to sink into the virtual world woven by various forces.

Nightmare rolled her eyes and pouted, saying in a sarcastic tone:
"I will personally maintain order—it's my responsibility."

"Then you'd better keep it going and don't let anyone else take advantage of it."

"Otherwise, what awaits you is an abyss."

After he finished speaking, countless enormous electronic screens rose up from the ground behind him.

They were arranged in the boundless venue as if they were trying to fill the entire world.

The image above gradually showed the group of players who had just put on the stickers.

The Civility Showdown has officially begun!
------

Players who entered this virtual world through stickers initially felt a temporary loss of consciousness.

Then everything around them brightened up.

It was even accompanied by a lot of insults.

When Wu Wang opened his eyes.

He was shocked to discover that this place was far different from the bloody battlefield he had imagined—

On the moss-covered ground, there are giant trees that would take dozens of people to encircle.

The players sat in a circle under the giant tree, as if they were camping.

The vines weave a three-dimensional spider web in the tree canopy, and sunlight shines on everyone through the gaps in the vines and the spider web.

It seemed a bit dazzling and somewhat disorienting.

"This...this is a primeval forest?"

Wu Wang managed to identify the species of this tree.

It's not the kind of breed that can grow to this size so quickly.

It must have grown stronger little by little through the trials of time to have reached its current form.

In addition, there were absolutely no signs of human activity in the surrounding area.

Wu Wang immediately deduced that they were inside a primeval forest.

"Didn't they say that killing some kind of power avatar would allow us to leave?"

"Then why are you stopping me from going to find it?"

"This is a dungeon world! Your reputation as the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs is worthless here!"

"..."

Before Wu Wang could continue analyzing the surrounding environment...

A cacophony of sounds arose from the crowd, accompanied by some pushing and shoving.

He couldn't help but look over there.

To everyone's surprise, it turned out that the Mongolian top laner, an IT programmer, was arguing with a burly, strong man.

After making a few inquiries, Wu Wang understood the whole story.

Before the four players entered this area.

Those eliminated players were already sent in ahead of time.

Nightmare didn't tell them any of the game rules.

They only said that the players who enter later will be told what to do.

So, after the Mongolian top laner and other players entered.

These guys quickly stepped forward to ask what had happened.

They were unaware that their bodies had already died.

What is trapped in this virtual world now is only consciousness and soul.

Out of concern that some people might not accept this fact, which could potentially cause some unrest.

The players tacitly refrained from telling the eliminated players about this.

The rules of the game were only briefly explained.

However, after hearing this, some people immediately decided to organize themselves to find the incarnation of the so-called "War Lord".

The Mongolian leader stepped forward to obstruct the process, believing it would be best to reach a consensus after discussion and agreement among the majority.

It would be more appropriate for everyone to act together.

After all, the outcome of this game is not determined by whether or not the [War Lord] power avatar is defeated.

Instead, after defeating it, the number of human players lost must be less than that of the dungeon creatures.

Since we don't know what the situation is with the instance creatures.

If everyone were allowed to act freely...

The fact that players' forces are dispersed will definitely lead to greater casualties.

After all, some people know the truth.

Human beings are far too fragile compared to those clone creatures.

Unity is strength!

This power is iron! This power is steel!
"Please calm down. This has nothing to do with my identity in the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs. I'm just making an objective assessment of the current situation," the Mongolian top laner advised the other party as tactfully as possible.

However, there are always some people who mistake other people's good manners and humility for weakness and being easy to bully.

Although he does seem quite easy to bully.

"Bullshit! Don't think I don't know what you're up to!" the burly man said viciously. "Who knows if you're hiding anything from us?"

"Perhaps there will be an extra reward for being the first to kill that embodiment of power?"

"Or perhaps the first person to discover him will get more points?"

"I'm disgusted by your Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs' hypocritical behavior of pretending to be for everyone's good while actually pocketing all the benefits!"

It's obvious that this is a free player who is very hostile towards the official team.

They're even foolish enough to still be agonizing over that points system.

After all, those who were eliminated in the preliminary rounds were the ones who failed to realize that the "Dungeon Introduction" was actually a fabrication by Nightmare.

Not everyone can be selected as an exception like the Mongolian top laner.

He suddenly shoved the Mongolian top laner aside.

He decided to venture deeper into the forest on his own.

He then shouted at the crowd, "Those who want to earn points, come with me! Otherwise, you can stay here and be the lackeys of that Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs! Let that disgusting bureaucracy devour you little by little!"

Once someone takes the lead in something, it becomes a problem.

That would trigger a chain reaction.

Many of the eliminated players looked at each other in bewilderment and then decided to leave.

As independent players, they are used to exploring on their own.

Moreover, what the burly man said also made sense.

What if the person who first defeats the embodiment of power receives some special reward?

Some of them had experienced similar instances.

First come, first served!

Dang——dang——dang——

Just as the atmosphere among everyone was becoming somewhat awkward.

The inexplicable knocking sounds gradually echoed.

The sound seemed to have been there for a while.

However, now that everyone is keeping quiet and calculating in their own minds, this voice becomes even more noticeable.

They all turned to look at them.

To their astonishment, they discovered a handsome young man squatting on the ground, repeatedly striking two stones together.

This strange behavior also puzzled them.

Could it be that this stone holds some secret?
Before the burly man could even get out of everyone's sight...

The boy's tapping stopped.

He slowly raised the simple stone axe, which looked like something a primitive hunter would use, or something that should be displayed in a museum.

He shouted to the burly man who was waiting for someone to come and leave together:
"oi!"

"So your name is Charlotte?"

These words left the burly man somewhat bewildered.

What Charlotte? My name isn't Charlotte.

Before he could react, he was shocked to find the boy running wildly toward him.

What a fast running speed!

The burly man was, after all, a high-level player. Although he didn't know why the other party was attacking him, he immediately adjusted his posture to deal with it.

However, the entangled fight that everyone, including the strong man himself, had envisioned did not occur.

When Wu Wang rushed in front of the other party.

That seemingly unassuming body could unleash incredible agility and power.

In just a few moves, he knocked the burly man to the ground.

His punches were so heavy that each one required the burly man to grit his teeth to withstand them, and his groin kicks always attacked the lower body from unexpected angles.

Before the burly man could even get up, he was shocked to find the stone axe stuck in his neck.

When the burly man met Wu Wang's dead fish eyes, he couldn't even see the murderous intent within them.

It's not about being kind.

The burly man felt more like the other party thought he wasn't worthy of being killed.

Or rather, in the other person's eyes, killing them is like stepping on roadside weeds, without any emotional fluctuation.

Would you grit your teeth and clench your teeth for stepping on wild grass?

呲——

The edge of the stone axe was struck until it was slightly sharp.

It easily pierced the skin on the strong man's neck, and a trickle of crimson blood flowed out, causing everyone to hold their breath.

No one expected that such a situation of cannibalism would occur as soon as they entered this primeval forest.

Wu Wang's icy voice came from above—

“Take out the most powerful item from your backpack.”

Faced with this request, the burly man said indignantly, "Damn it! If I could use the [backpack], I would have already..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Wang interrupted him:
"Can you come back to life? Can you reattach severed limbs? Or are you invulnerable to swords and spears?"

As he spoke, he gradually increased the pressure of pressing down with the stone axe in his hand.

The crimson stain on the other person's neck gradually formed a thin stream.

Perhaps the threat of death was clearly imminent.

The burly man replied, his breathing rapid and his voice filled with helplessness:

"No...no..."

Seeing his appearance, Wu Wang raised his head and looked at the other players who were preparing to leave.

He said coldly, "Looks like there are quite a few idiots like him."

"Since this is impossible and that is impossible, do you really think that a mere mortal body can defeat the incarnation of the War Lord's power?"

"Yes, I know that some people have also found that their own attributes have not been weakened, and skills that are not part of equipment and items can still be used normally."

"Even a makeshift stone axe like this can cut human skin."

"You can't be so ridiculous as to think that a War Lord doesn't even have an axe, can you?"

"You, who wield extraordinary abilities to bully others, are a force to be reckoned with in various dungeon worlds, delivering a devastating blow to those low-level dungeon creatures. Now that the roles have reversed, are you wondering why we are the ones being subjected to this devastating blow?"

"We're no different from cavemen now!"

"Indigenous spears against laser cannons? Are your ancestors Native Americans?"

Faced with Wu Wang's insults, those who intended to leave fell silent.

The long-standing sense of superiority that players possess as they have extraordinary power has indeed led some of them to rely on their expertise in attribute values ​​rather than the mechanics of various items and equipment.

This is considered an advantage in this restricted world.

But now, under the humiliation of Wu's demise.

And the moment the stone axe cut through the strong man's skin.

Those who considered themselves superior finally realized—

Even if the player's attributes are retained, and even if some skills can still be used normally.

But when faced with real danger, even stones picked up from the roadside and polished together can kill them.

Humans are still too fragile.

The fact that players are restricted doesn't mean the enemy is restricted!
The embodiment of the power of the Warlord might still be extraordinary.

In their current state, they went to find each other.

That would truly prove Wu Wang's saying about native spears hitting laser cannons.

"So what are you going to do?"

The witch's voice drifted out calmly from the crowd.

Her timely question resonated with many people.

Yes! Since you've already said that everyone is inherently incredibly fragile.

So what are your thoughts?

Just when everyone thought Wu Wang would tally up the types of skills that the players present could still use and design corresponding tactical combinations.

At worst, they would adjust everyone's combat style to avoid further casualties.

Unexpectedly, the boy suddenly chopped the stone axe into the trunk of a tree next to him.

He said in a serious tone, "Didn't Nightmare say that time is unlimited? Why are you in such a hurry to succeed?"

"No airplanes, no cannons! We'll build them ourselves! We'll create a new way of attack for humanity from scratch!"

"To get rich, start by cutting down trees!"

"Come on, someone help me cut this tree down."

All players: "???"

Is this person serious?
Holy crap! Could he actually be a lunatic?
Are we listening to a madman rambling on for half a day?
At this moment, even the witch felt that Wu Wang's words were a bit outrageous.

Modern weapons have been recreated in this primeval forest?

Is this... really possible?
