Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 435 Reality is no longer safe
The fleeting anger vanished in an instant.

Wu Wang looked at the ceramic cup in his hand, slowly raised it, and took a sip of coffee.

"Heh, there's a bit too much condensed milk in this; it feels more like a glass of milk."

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, and even his tendency to provoke him.

[Desire Sea Spirit Lord] took a step closer and stared at Wu Wang with his gray-white eyes, which contained indescribable magic that would captivate a normal person with just a glance.

He then smiled and said, "Kid, you're just so lovable."

“I can sense that your anger stems from two sources: first, the anger of being used by me, and second, the anger of feeling powerless.”

"But in just a moment, both kinds of anger were wiped away by you, as if they had never existed."

"tell me why?"

Generally speaking, people who are unfamiliar with Wu Wang want to curse him, while those who are familiar with him want to beat him up.

Throughout my life, apart from my family, no one has ever said that he is likable.

Only this venerable one, who treats life like a game, could toy with Wu Wang.

Looking at [Lord of Desire], he now seemed to be watching with amusement.

Perhaps He frankly admitted His speculation in order to see His own vulnerable side and then laugh at Him mercilessly.

However, Wu Wang's defenses were not so easily breached.

He simply continued drinking his coffee and said calmly:
"Because you're right, I know I'm powerless to do anything about it."

"Even if I know how you're using me, so what? I still have to go through all sorts of trials and tribulations, and I have to figure out how to defeat you so that I can leave alive and return to reality."

"I am like a husband who is powerless after falling asleep; no matter what you do to these alternate worlds afterward, I cannot stop it."

"Then why not learn from the indifference of passengers on the subway, or from the colleagues in the break room who pretend not to know anything?"

"Since you're here, make the best of it. Life is like a rape; if you can't resist, then enjoy it."

"Anyway, the place where I do experiments isn't my world."

[The Desire Sea Spirit Lord] stared into Wu Wang's eyes.

This confirmed that it truly was his inner thought.

His smile deepened.

Because He could see that Wu Wang was not giving up on himself.

Instead, it allows one to assess the situation instantly and make the best choice and adjust one's emotions accordingly.

Indeed, this is a natural spokesperson for desire.

The powers and authority he wields are different from those of the other venerable ones.

Whether it is hope, suffering, distortion, or even chaos.

Their representatives are more devout and enjoy the corresponding emotions the more they are in harmony with the power of their laws.

Only desire is different.

Simply indulging in endless greed for desires is called depravity.

What He truly needs is not a depraved fall.

Rather, it's about control.

Only those who can fully control their own desires can know how to unleash their true power.

Even disregarding Wu Wang's outstanding abilities when fighting against other Venerables.

His perfect affinity with desire made the Desire Sea Spirit Lord utterly enamored with him.

Then He said:

"I am very satisfied with your performance."

"But one thing is wrong—your world is not as safe as you think."

"Come and see how delicious your world is in their eyes."

call--

The fire in the fireplace roared and shot into the sky.

In an instant, a wall of fire rose up in front of Wu Wang.

But he didn't feel the intense heat; instead, he saw a gradually clearing image in the flickering flames.

It was in a dense forest, where a local indigenous tribe was being wiped out.

However, what they were confronting was neither human nor some kind of ferocious beast.

It is a monster in the truest sense.

Trees grow sharp claws that swim across the melting ground like sailfish, piercing through living flesh with their sharp branches.
Hippo-like mouths sprang out from the torches lit by the natives and began to devour them;

Its eyeballs, made of blood vessels, form wings that fly in mid-air, emitting a sharp popping sound.

Things that were normal in my memory have all changed.

Everything looked so distorted.

There was a flash of fire.

The scene then shifts to a modern town.

Everyone's eyes were bloodshot.

They picked up any weapons they could get their hands on and went on a rampage, destroying everything in their path.

Even a loving family one second can turn into a bloody, inhumane fight the next.

They had no purpose.

It's simply to disrupt the existing order and create chaos in the city.

call--

Then there was the church decoration that Wu Wang was familiar with, where devout nuns and priests were peeling off their own flesh and skin in exchange for some kind of miracle of "pain".

Or perhaps it refers to those desperate people who exist in various places, believing that the end of the world has come, and who begin to kneel and beg for divine forgiveness, praying for the eternal existence of "hope".

These scenes unfolded before Wu Wang's eyes.

He gripped the ceramic cup slightly tighter.

He asked slowly, "Have you... already arrived?"

Clearly, these unusual phenomena are consistent with the way the Venerables act.

In response, [Lord of the Desire Sea] stood before those murals, and without turning his head, said:
"I can't tell you that. You'll find out when you get back."

"Now, do you have any new ideas?"

Wu Wang sighed and replied:

"Of course there are. If someone comes into your house and causes trouble, it would be a lie to say you have no objection at all."

“But if I say certain English words that start with F, I might get punched by you, and it’s not very polite to greet you and the other Venerable Ones’ non-existent family.”

"So, I'd better keep quiet."

He finished the rest of his coffee in one gulp.

Then he placed the ceramic cup on the table.

He said calmly, "If there's nothing else, let me go back."

"Your time must be very precious, I can't afford to waste it."

[Desire Sea Spirit Lord] snapped his fingers.

In this incredibly warm room, something that had been missing for so long finally appeared—

Door.

Yes, Wu Wang had been searching for the location of the door here.

But I never saw it anywhere.

It seems that without the big boss's permission, I have no way to leave here.

After the door appeared, He said:

"Don't rush, answer my last question before you leave—"

"Tell me, how do you understand the concepts of 'Miracle of Suffering' and 'Ultimate Blessing'?"

Perhaps the [Lord of Desire] wanted to know his opinion on the other two venerable ones.

Or perhaps He simply wanted to have fun and make himself happy.

Wu Wang couldn't figure it out, and he was too lazy to try.

After pondering for a moment, he replied:

"From what I've encountered of the 'miracles of suffering' so far, this ability is easy to understand—paying a price and receiving a reward."

"Using one's own suffering to obtain a corresponding miracle can also be seen as a concrete manifestation of extreme emotions."

"But [Zhi Le Fu Ze] is completely the opposite."

"If the [Miracle of Suffering] is the cause and effect, then the [Blessing of Bliss] is the effect and the cause."

"He bestows all good blessings upon you without you having to pay any price."

At this point, Wu Wang paused for a moment.

From this perspective, it even makes [Supreme Bliss] seem like a decent venerable being.

However, nothing comes without a price.

Then he continued:

"But once you receive these blessings, the ease with which happiness and good things become readily available can quickly make you numb."

"His reward is the fleeting bliss, which He cruelly strips away, taking away the good things of others for His own."

"But because they have enjoyed it, people's desire to have it again is even deeper, making them more susceptible to the control of 'bliss'."

"It's a vicious cycle; its destruction of a person is even worse than suffering."

"Because He destroys not only people's bodies, but also their souls."

【The Miracle of Suffering】Similar to a loan sharking transaction, although the cost is high, it can solve an immediate need.

【Supreme Joy and Blessings】, however, is like draining a pond to catch fish; although the harvest is plentiful, it leaves one with no more blessings to enjoy.

Hearing Wu Wang's understanding.

The smile on the face of [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] remained unchanged.

Like a tutor listening to an excellent student explain their academic achievements, especially the explanation of the causal sequence of the two, which made the tutor nod in satisfaction. Then he said, "Since you have your own insights into the other venerable ones..."

"Then let's think about this—what can desire bring you?"

"When you understand this, the power of desire can be used to your advantage."

Having said that, He snapped His fingers again.

The door opened with a click, indicating that Wu Wang could leave.

Then, [Lord of Desire] added:

"Don't forget, you still have to prepare the next interesting story for me."

"As for the five-day restriction, let's forget about it. After all, you still have a lot to do in the world right now."

"Let's survive first, then we'll talk about what happens next."

After hearing His enigmatic words, Wu Wang walked straight toward the door.

After opening it, he went inside without looking back.

Watching the door and Wu Wang slowly disappear into the room.

[The Desire Sea Spirit Lord] gazed at the still-rising furnace fire.

He smiled with some satisfaction: "That's it, child. I can feel your curiosity and desire growing."

"It doesn't matter if you can't do anything about it now; what matters is whether you want to change it."

"As long as you are not truly content with the status quo, you will crave to become stronger under pressure."

"Come on, let me see your limits..."

Having said that, He went toward the fire.

In an instant, they disappeared into the lounge, whose location was unknown.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

As Wu Wang stepped through the door, he felt a gentle breeze.

The next second, he found himself under a pedestrian bridge.

On the steps next to them, two familiar figures were sitting and chatting.

They saw Wu Wang appear.

They waved to each other.

"Brother Yan'er! Why did it take you so long to come out? We almost thought you'd suddenly died inside."

"Brother Yan just came out, can you say something nice?"

These two were naturally the first two to leave, Erbadao and Baijun.

After they came out, the two were worried that they might be pulled into other dungeon passages while walking on the road.

So they simply waited for Wu Wang to come out at the entrance of this passage.

That way, even if you accidentally enter another instance, you can at least find a way to get help from a stronger player.

Unexpectedly, Wu Wang merely glanced around after emerging from the room.

He then said, "This place is already surrounded by you, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Erbadao and Baijun were completely dumbfounded.

What is this guy saying?

We've been waiting for you at the door for ages, what's with all this talk about surrounding us?
In response, Wu Wang simply sighed and took out the Elemental Gun from his backpack.

He said coldly, "I'm not referring to those two naive girls, of course, but to the guys hiding in the shadows."

"I'm counting down three seconds. If you don't show up by then, I'll turn the area around into a sea of ​​fire."

"If you want to file a complaint about arson, you'd better leave alive first."

click -

With that, Wu Wang placed his finger on the trigger.

"one!"

The gun barrel was pointed at a patch of grass not far across the river.

"two!"

His words immediately put Erbadao and Baijun on alert.

They took out their combat equipment from their backpacks and looked around.

However, they have not yet found any signs of an ambush.

Three people slowly emerged from the bushes that Wu Wang had pointed his gun at.

It was obviously hidden using some kind of prop before.

The leader was a scarred woman who looked rather fierce.

Beside him was a skinny man as thin as a monkey, and another effeminate man dressed in a sissy manner.

"Look who this is! It's none other than the renowned Lord Yan Shuangying!"

"Please don't act impulsively, this is just a small misunderstanding."

"We don't mean any harm."

The scarred woman spoke with an innocent expression.

Together with their companions, they spread their hands out wide.

To prove that you did not intend to start a conflict.

The three even took a step back, creating some distance between themselves and Wu Wang and the others.

However, just as Erbadao and Baijun were looking at each other, they realized that the other was already planning to back down.

They were also planning to come down the stairs.

The icy look in Wu Wang's eyes did not disappear.

He simply said, "Three!"

brush--

The next second, his wrist shot up instantly.

He pointed the gun directly above him, at the edge of the overpass, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

boom--

A blazing, fiery bullet roared out from the muzzle of the gun.

To completely illuminate this deep night.

"Fuck!"

A startled cry came from above Wu Wang's head, followed by a muffled thud as he was sent flying backward, and the smell of burnt meat filled the air.

Erbadao and Baijun then realized that there was someone hiding less than five meters above Wu Wang's head!

The other person, dressed in black, hooked their feet on the railing of the overpass, hanging upside down like a bat, remaining hidden there.

He probably had some kind of prop on him, which is why Erbadao and Baijun didn't notice him even though they had just come out of the passage and had even been sitting and chatting on the stairs next to him for a long time.

The moment Wu Wang fired, the man instinctively raised his weapon, which resembled a kunai, to block, but due to the close distance and the speed, he was unable to do so.

Even though the fire bullet grazed the kunai and its trajectory was altered, it still pierced through his shoulder.

Of course, if he hadn't blocked it, his head would have been shot through.

Seeing that he had been exposed, he flipped onto the overpass the moment his shoulder was pierced.

In a few leaps and bounds, they arrived beside the trio on the other side.

"Tsk, damn it, this is too tough. Should we retreat?" The guy who looked like a ninja quickly took out a tool to stop the bleeding and cursed.

The scarred woman also frowned, her mind turning away.

Her gaze drifted somewhat unsteadily towards the effeminate man beside her.

This guy has the strongest detection ability among them, and also possesses basic identification skills.

Although they can't see through the effects of props like appraisers.

However, the quantity and quality of the items are enough to analyze the general strength of other players in the Spirit Disaster.

If Yan Shuangying isn't as powerful as the legends say.

Maybe we can even run into them?

However, the effeminate man broke out in a cold sweat after just one glance.

At that moment, Wu Wang put the [Elemental Gun] back into his [Backpack].

He then took out the [Knife in the opposite direction] and [Xiaochuan] at the same time, and his eyes turned blue-white, with his pupils turning red-purple.

"He...he's decked out in Epic gear! He even has Legendary equipment!" the effeminate man exclaimed, somewhat speechless.

These words made Erbadao and Baijun look at Wu Wang with some fear.

Holy crap! Brother Yan has legendary equipment on him?!
Even if the effeminate male cannot assess the effects of the equipment, the quality of the [Legendary] item is enough to instill fear.

It's not a matter of whether you can snatch it or not anymore.

The question is now whether or not they can withdraw.

"Let me guess, you somehow managed to find out about this dungeon passage, so you hid nearby to ambush players coming out of the dungeon."

"This is the capital city, after all. The Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs just recently purged a group of people."

"Are you planning to play the victim?"

"It's already troublesome enough that dungeons invade reality, but now there are scum like you harming ordinary players."

Wu Wang twisted his neck, making a cracking sound.

The murderous intent in his eyes rose as if it were a tangible force, and even made people feel that the surrounding temperature had dropped.

"I'm getting really annoyed by the big boss right now."

"Excuse me, everyone, would you mind stretching my muscles a bit?"

"By the way, this is not a request."

"This is a notification..."
