Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 570 It doesn’t matter, I will take action
huh-huh-

Watching those red tentacles emerge from the shadows beneath Wu Wang's feet, writhing wildly around a slightly smaller question mark hat on the table.

The gentleman penguin sitting in the boss's chair had a dark expression on his face... Although penguins are naturally dark-skinned, he now looked as if he was gritting his teeth.

"I didn't lie to you."

Wu Wang shrugged helplessly.

Pointing to the small question mark hat, he added, "As I said, I can't actively control this thing. It only pops up and interferes when there are probabilistic events like lotteries or trying my luck."

It's precisely because it's not easy to actively showcase it.

Therefore, Wu Wang asked the gentleman penguin to prepare a top hat that could be used for a lottery so that he could let the red tentacles go in and explore.

Of course, the gentleman penguin would never use his treasure vault as a test subject again, lest the guy steal some strange and wonderful things from it.

Instead, it separates a small, independent space and sets up a defense mechanism that completely mimics the real treasure vault.

Then, some props were placed in various locations in the independent space according to their different levels and the quality of the same level.

Wu Wang reached into the top hat and rummaged around in front of him.

The first item he pulled out was indeed a piece of junk; it's clear this guy's luck wasn't very good.

In that instant, the Abyss God Mark on his wrist opened its eyes, summoned red tentacles, wrapped the trash prop, and stuffed it back into his top hat.

He pulled out another one in front of the gentleman penguin; this was one of the best props he had in his top hat collection.

However, in this process.

Whenever the red tentacles come into contact with the protection mechanism inside the top hat, they move with a carefree, ghostly ease, even when the gentleman penguin tries to activate the defense mechanism, there is no reaction.

The gentleman penguin realized something was wrong.

His treasure vault's defense mechanism is not a simple layer of barrier protection.

Instead, it is a condensation of numerous spatial and temporal skill formations, props, and equipment.

This should be an impeccable combination technique.

Because without its consent, any external entity that enters the defense mechanism's range—whether it be a living being, a non-living being, an aura of power, consciousness, or even a gaze—will trigger it.

Therefore, it's not that you can relax after breaking through and entering the market.

Instead, it is something external that repeatedly triggers the defense mechanism every step of the space within the treasure vault and every second it stays there.

This is a blockade in both space and time.

Furthermore, given the bonuses added by the [Spirit Disaster Game] itself, even a Venerable One cannot claim that the bonuses would be rendered ineffective the instant they come into contact with the Venerable One.

Because this means that something that can break through the defense mechanism does not exist in any space or in any time period.

Even those who are embodiments of the law, like the Venerable Ones, still possess the concept of "existence."

If there were no concept of "existence," then logically such a thing would not exist at all.

But it just so happened.

It appears, but it doesn't exist.

This is a very strange paradox.

Of all the known concepts, the gentleman penguin knew that only one thing could fit this definition.

He said with a gloomy face, "You didn't say that this thing is a derivative of [Death]."

Wu Wang shrugged and said, "You didn't ask either."

The human and the penguin just stared at each other like that.

The gentleman penguin sighed helplessly and tapped his scepter on the table.

The little hat disappeared with a pop, and the props inside returned to where they were originally.

"Very well, why should I bother arguing with a favorite who's about to die?" The gentleman penguin's expression as he looked at Wu Wang had become somewhat pitying.

Arguing with someone who is destined to die soon only makes him seem petty.

Wu Wang was not surprised that he knew the term "favorite".

After all, this guy's forte is intelligence gathering and trading, and he's far more skilled than the all-knowing expert and Qin Shusheng.

The Gentleman Penguin's intelligence network probably covers countless dungeon worlds.

He knew very well that since Wu Wang had red tentacles, it could only mean that he had been targeted by "Wang".

As for whether Wu Wang can control the derivatives of [Wang] or absorb the mark of [Wang], the gentleman penguin doesn't even bother to think about it.

Because it's impossible.

Nothing can have a good end after being tainted by death.

Even venerable beings keep their distance from this thing.

Actually, it's not hard to understand if you think about it carefully.

Knowing full well that even a wisp of the power of "Death" possesses unparalleled might, the Venerables weren't fools. Why wouldn't they plunder this power for their own use?

That's something they simply can't do.

It might even backfire.

This also indirectly proves the uniqueness and power of [Death].

If even a venerable being is like this, what about a mere human being?

The hierarchy of life forms is fixed and cannot be changed; humanity, or indeed any being in any world, is destined to be unable to master this.

This naturally includes the gentleman penguin himself.

That's why he started swearing just now.

What a waste of the conditions I offered them!
"Alright, just give me back what you just took out," the gentleman penguin said, spreading his wings.

Wu Wang: "What is that?"

The gentleman penguin sensed a hint of roguishness in the air and his lips twitched as he said, "Those derivative items you stole from your body during our experiment just now, damn it, you're not planning to steal them, are you?"

Wu Wang continued to wear an innocent look: "What steal? Steal what? I don't know."

Hard.

The wings are hard.

The gentleman penguin suddenly wanted to slap the human to death; he truly hadn't expected the other party to be so shameless.

"Alright, alright, you're truly one of a kind when it comes to trading partners who consistently put me at a disadvantage." The gentleman penguin chuckled and said, "It's just an epic item, consider it a gift. Now it's your turn to share your information."

Wu Wang smiled and carefully placed the stolen items into his backpack.

He slightly adjusted his wording and relayed the information that [Lord of Desire] had previously told him.

Since a day had passed since the dungeon's settlement, when Gentleman Penguin heard Wu Wang say that there were only nine days left...

He almost instinctively jumped up and retorted, "Impossible!"

Wu Wang squinted and asked, "Oh? Why is it impossible? This is firsthand information obtained from the Desire Sea Spirit Lord."

The gentleman penguin said with a serious expression, "Human, do you really know what level of existence the Venerables are? Their struggles are a catastrophe for countless worlds."

"If a Venerable One were to suddenly and unpreparedly attempt to stop the Azure Dragon and [Chaos], it would be a true catastrophe. Worlds would collapse with the slightest gesture, impacting both their own foundation of followers and..."

He paused for a moment, as if he was hesitating about whether or not he should say something.

He then added, "In short, no Venerable One would truly wage war against another being of equal standing."

"They may have fought in the past, and the worlds affected were also destroyed, but in essence, those were just minor skirmishes that did not affect the core stability." "Remember, the power between Venerables is always balanced; there is no one side that can truly surpass the other."

"Therefore, even if the [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] could really get a certain Venerable to stop the Azure Dragon and [Chaos], He would not be able to defeat them. At most, it would be a lose-lose situation or even mutual destruction. Who would be crazy enough to do something that is destined to be harmful and unprofitable?"

However, Wu Wang seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

Suddenly, he countered with a question: "When you say there is a balance between Venerables, you must be referring to different Venerables, right? What about Venerables who are their opposites?"

"They must have moments of imbalance, right?"

"Otherwise, how could they devour the original Venerable One?"

Upon hearing this, the gentleman penguin instantly exuded an unparalleled aura.

This was completely different from his previous businessman state, and even gave Wu Wang a vague sense of powerlessness when facing a big boss.

Compared to a true venerable one, it seems that only a tiny bit of something indescribable is missing.

"You also know about the opposite of the Venerable One?"

The gentleman penguin was not puzzled by Wu Wang's knowledge of the existence of the opposing side, but rather by the fact that the opposing side even knew about the possibility of them devouring each other.

This isn't information that can be obtained from just any source; it's most likely something they learned from the [Lord of the Desire Sea].

But why?

Why would [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] say so much to a weak Spirit Disaster player? Even if Yan Shuangying is a favored player, it shouldn't be like this!

In fact, when the news of the apocalypse arriving in nine days was first announced, Gentleman Penguin was puzzled by this.

Why should [Lord of Desire] tell Yan Shuangying so much important information?

What is so special about him?

"Don't worry about where I know this, just tell me if it's true or not," Wu Wang said, enduring the suffocating pressure.

call--

Like a gentle breeze, the other person's aura vanished instantly, and he reverted to his previous image as a seemingly harmless, even somewhat cute and adorable, British gentleman.

It's just that the gentleman being a penguin makes it a bit abstract.

"Yes, you're right."

"The relationship between the opposing Venerables is quite subtle. They share the same origin and are not the absolute balance between different Venerables, but rather a state of absolute imbalance."

"When one side weakens, the other side will unconditionally become stronger until one side completely devours the other..."

At this point, the gentleman penguin's gaze sharpened.

The way he looked at Wu Wang became a little strange, as if he realized why he had asked that question.

He tapped his cane lightly on the ground repeatedly, then asked earnestly, "You mean, the one who will be summoned by the [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] to deal with the Azure Dragon and the [Chaos] Venerable is [Order]?"

Wu Wang smiled: "I didn't say that, but I do know that [Chaos] is in a very strange state right now, and I suspect..."

He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

The gentleman penguin's lips twitched as he said, "You bastard, I've already given you a prop, you can't be so shameless."

Wu Wang then laughed and continued, "Just kidding, brother. Of course I'd be happy to tell you."

My suspicion is—

"[Chaos] has been tainted by [Death]."

Gentleman Penguin: "!?"

This is why Wu Wang did not extort payment from Gentleman Penguin for this intelligence.

He also needs the gentleman penguin's help to verify this.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Wang continued to tell the Gentleman Penguin about what had happened to him in the [Devil's Prison], after making some minor embellishments.

Of course, he completely concealed the part about "immortality" by using the special nature of his favorites.

Anyway, nobody knows exactly how the favored one gained the favor of [Death], nor can they understand what kind of changes this favor will bring.

Furthermore, even considering the beings from other dungeon worlds, I'm probably the only one who can be considered a favorite of [Death].

Isn't that just someone making things up without any verification?

"Hmm... if these things are true... then the Desire Sea Spirit Venerable is truly a complete madman."

"He intends to assist Order in killing Chaos and completely replacing it!"

The gentleman penguin's expression was slightly unpleasant.

Wu Wang seemed a little confused, so he squinted and added, "It seems there are things you don't know. I'll be merciful and explain them to you."

“Even if they are not the opposite of the Venerable Ones, they will not tolerate any Venerable Ones going ahead of them and eliminating their opposites first.”

"Because in this case, it would mean that a peer among the Venerables would appear who has no concerns or flaws whatsoever, and such a being would pose a great threat to the other Venerables."

"He will disrupt the balance among the Venerables."

"Therefore, these venerable ones have always been filled with contradictions. They can cooperate to study how to deal with the threat of the opposing side, but they can also be wary of each other and even hinder each other's progress."

"This is also the main reason why countless worlds can still exist. If they didn't have such contradictions, each world would probably become their plaything or... apocalyptic scorched earth."

At this point, Wu Wang was also able to realize the seriousness of the problem.

If the [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] truly intends to help one of the Venerables devour their opposite, it would be tantamount to breaking this balance.

The impact extends beyond the real world; it affects all of the world.

Of course, Wu Wang didn't care about other worlds either.

He only wanted to preserve this one world.

Fortunately, I've already come up with a solution.

Looking at Wu Wang's expression, he was only deep in thought, without any panic or worry.

The gentleman penguin joked, "Hehe, your world is about to be destroyed, and there's nowhere to hide among countless worlds. You don't seem to be in a hurry. Is it because you're destined to die soon? You're like a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water."

In his view, since the favored ones would all die soon anyway, it didn't matter whether the world was destroyed or not.

However, Wu Wang said seriously:

"It doesn't matter, I will take action."

Gentleman Penguin: “?”

Holy crap! You're pretending to be something you're not!

He really wanted to point his finger at this arrogant brat and mock him, asking if he wanted to wash his face, look in the mirror, and see how much he really knew.

What good would it do for you to intervene in a struggle at this level? Would you just make those venerable ones laugh?

"Alright, then make your move." The gentleman penguin, feeling helpless in the face of thugs, could only smile wryly and say, "Let's complete the deal first. Listen carefully, this is a way to freely travel between worlds and conceal one's presence..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Wang suddenly raised his hand to interrupt him.

He pulled a tattered kitchen knife from his pocket, which also reeked of an unusually strong bloody odor.

He said calmly, "Wait a moment, I'll call a friend over to listen together. I promised him I'd help, and he's also an admirer of yours."

brush--

The cleaver slashed down fiercely forward.

In an instant, a gap reeking of blood was torn open in the office...
