T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 275, Section 274: The Frog-Headed Stitched Monster Belonging to the Boundary Between Reality and Illusion

The food was served, and the rising steam made the orange tea feel dazed.

Suddenly, everything went blurry before my eyes, and a piercing white noise filled my ears.

Broken stained glass windows, rotting benches, and faded, gray idols.

This is a church that has long been abandoned.

The nine members of the Sunrain Squad gathered around a huge stone table, weathered and scratched by time, on which were laid out dishes freshly prepared by Orange Tea.

Amidst the buzzing, human voices gradually became clearer.

"That's weird, you all have a specialty dish?"

The Spirit Sorcerer Rona, who had single-handedly burned three elemental lords to death, looked utterly incredulous.

As if he couldn't feel the heat, he twisted off the tail of the dry-fried fish and grabbed it with his hand, slurping it up.

Someone who chews and swallows even fish bones—is that outrageous or impressive?

"You do not believe?"

At this moment, Golovin the Evil Spear was enjoying his favorite honey-roasted pork chops.

He helped the boundary between reality and illusion break free from the world's consciousness and create illusions. His eating manners were not very elegant. He ate while holding the food, his mouth full of oil.

"I've had your grilled ribs, and they were truly amazing, I believe you. But... I'm specifically calling out Benxiong, he doesn't look like someone who can cook!"

Although the bear provided a huge boost when challenging the Origin Element, I'm sorry, Orange Tea felt the same way.

He's nearly 3 meters tall, and even ordinary pots and pans look tiny in his hands.

“Don’t talk nonsense, the roasted lamb from the silly bear is delicious,” said Gloria. “I ate quite a lot of it before it formed the sun shower.”

"And what about you, Gloria?"

Rona shrugged: "I'm not underestimating you, but the Golden Scripture, with the blood of the Golden King, countless servants, and all sorts of delicacies, you probably aren't very good at cooking, are you?"

Gloria, sipping the mushroom and chicken soup, responded calmly.

"You haven't tried my signature mushroom and chicken soup? I'll make some for you sometime."

Everyone looked at Gloria.

"Really? You've actually cooked before?"

Alvin, the legendary captain who had brought together eight exceptionally talented individuals, widened his eyes as he grasped the sun shower.

"Has the Golden Royal Family fallen so low that they can't even afford a cook anymore?"

"What kind of person am I in your eyes? A pampered young lady who is good for nothing but magic and can't even take care of herself?"

“Yes, that’s right.” All eight people said in unison.

They joked and teased each other.

The orange tea made me smile.

It seems to resemble the boundary between reality and illusion.

A pair of hands rested on her shoulders.

"Plata often said that no matter what you do, you should eat your fill first."

"Before each mission, she would always use any available ingredients to fill everyone's stomachs."

"The 11th floor was an exception; the battle went on for so long that everyone was starving by the end."

Orange Tea opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but it all got stuck in her throat.

Unlike gluttons, there are no urgent trials, no visually stunning performances, and everything is peaceful.

Gloria was like a long-time friend, watching as she and her companions enjoyed their happy drinking time.

"Is the Golden King very powerful?"

Based solely on diaries and conversations, the information obtained by Orange Tea is still incomplete.

Gloria smiled.

"My ancestors were truly amazing."

"During the nearly thousand-year-long period of great empire, Devland controlled two-thirds of its territory."

"The people of Devland are still using the calendar from the Golden King era."

"Even though the empire has been broken up for three hundred years, thanks to the remaining power of our ancestors, we, their descendants, can still find a place to live on this rich continent."

When recalling the glory of her ancestors, Gloria's face showed a hint of pride, but it was very faint.

"You hate your family?"

"I admire the boldness and generosity of our ancestors when they were pioneering great undertakings, and I despise the decadence and corruption of them when they were maintaining the status quo."

Gloria said, "It's a pity that I can only feel the brilliance of the Golden Scripture shining on Devilland through books and descriptions from my elders."

"My generation can only see the latter."

"From childhood to adulthood, our elders and classical texts have been revealing to us that glorious era."

"A paradise that flows with golden light, where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment."

“But the elders around me have become the most despised villains in the classics and the memoirs written by our ancestors.”

Gloria looked relaxed, and her voice became cheerful: "So I ran away. I didn't want to be swayed by my environment and become that kind of person."

"The time I spent with them was the happiest time of my life."

"so……"

Gloria took Orange Tea's hand in hers.

"Don't let the people of Devland forget us."

"Hold on to this power tightly, for it will shine upon you as well as the sun showers."

As soon as she finished speaking, the people and objects around her scattered into streams of light, which, along with Gloria's transparent figure, flowed into Orange Tea's body.

Avatar awakening successful.

Orange tea returned to reality, and the people around her eagerly moved closer.

"How was the awakening? Did it go smoothly?"

Orange Tea nodded vigorously, her face beaming with joy.

【Gloria, the Guide of the Holy Scriptures】

"The descendants of the Golden King who did not want to be forgotten, the indomitable souls who died for the kindness, passion, and ideals they upheld in their hearts."

"Death is not the end of the sun shower."

“A powerful soul shines at the root of world consciousness.”

Compared to the Glutton's outrageous five passive abilities, the Sun Shower Incarnation's versatility is truly off the charts.

[Golden Holy Word]

"The power of inheritance flowing in the blood of the Golden King clan."

“The Golden King spoke holy words, which shone with golden light.”

"The injured will heal their flesh and blood, and the scars will heal on their own."

"A martial artist's physical body is comparable to that of gold and iron."

"Mage, magic is surging like a tide."

The results are as excellent as described.

"Activating the Avatar will grant physical and magical damage and damage resistance effects to a team of up to 9 people."

"Under the protection of the Golden Word spell, the recovery effect is enhanced, and non-fatal injuries heal slowly on their own."

In her lifetime, Golia's use of her inherited bloodline magic could not possibly reach the level described.

This is the posture of someone who has become a Heroic Spirit after death, and is fully strengthened by feedback from the world's consciousness.

"Holy crap, this is like a soft invincible weapon. It can't have its Golden Word spell shattered by excessive damage, and it can recover even if it's seriously injured." The jailer licked his lips. "Just this one trait alone makes it much better than the Glutton."

【Sun Shower Bond】

"Release it together with the avatars that are also members of the Sunrain Squad, and it will trigger an avatar synergy effect."

Jiang Heyi guessed this when he unlocked the information about the nine sun shower incarnations.

This time, it's truly a case of "rushing over while shouting about bonds and friendship."

A combined attack could probably turn all the leaves of the Origin Elemental Tree to ashes.

[Gloria's Stand]

"To descend in the form of a substitute, transforming the avatar into a stand-in."

Without requiring the player to focus on operation, the weakened version of the Stand, Golia, can act like a summon, briefly helping the user out of trouble and releasing skills learned in her previous life as needed.

The burden is borne by the user of the avatar.

The Golden Holy Sword

"Concentrate all your power into the blade and slash."

"It has an excellent effect on spiritual life forms."

There are four skills in total, two active and two passive, and each one is excellent. Golden Word protects teammates.

The Golden Holy Sword can flexibly respond to situations where additional damage is needed, and in special circumstances of emergency rescue, it makes up for the Summoner's lack of damage in critical moments, leaving them only able to watch the battle.

Gloria's substitute can not only assist Orange Tea and relieve the pressure of multi-threaded operations, but also serve as an alternative form of Heroic Spirit summoning.

The Sunrain Bond focuses on a promising future.

Any member of the team can unlock the Sun Shower Avatar, combining their skills to benefit the entire team.

One avatar that takes care of three aspects: support, damage output, and protection.

Even though it can only be used once every four days in the game, it's still an epic enhancement.

The jailer was trying not to laugh.

"Here I want to single out a character with 5 passive skills, amazing awakening visuals, low versatility, and a weak presence."

Tsk tsk tsk, look at that face.

The diagnosis is that he has found a new love and forgotten his old one.

How to clear the Great Snow Mountain dungeon without a glutton?

How do I encounter K'sha if I haven't cleared the Great Snow Mountain dungeon?

Without encountering Kshatriya, the win-win storyline of the Anna Rebellion cannot be completed.

Without a win-win storyline, there's no way to get top-tier equipment and a temple strategy guide.

It's great to be a gluttonous persona.

The good thing is that it caused the Khrushchev to fall.

His relentless courtship fueled a two-way race between him and French Fries in real life, accelerating at full speed.

Every day is sweet now.

This power breaks down the barriers between dimensions and directly impacts reality.

Can any other incarnation do that?
You better respect the true value of being an incarnation of a glutton!

Actually, Jiang Heyi also thought that lending to the Glutton in the second stage would be better, but considering the fragments needed for the upgrade...

Or maybe we should invest in someone else and quickly unlock the second Sun Rain avatar to achieve a collaboration.

Who knows if what gluttons cram into their second sleep will still be passive?

Ksha returned first, accompanied by more than twenty siren craftsmen.

"If the fallen hero has a request, we will respond."

The two leading sea monster master craftsmen showed no airs of being eighth-tier, and bowed slightly to the people from the boundary between the virtual and real worlds in the manner of the Anna Empire.

This small gesture shows utmost respect.

Kesha proudly raised the thick hill made up of countless dried fish.

"After the request was explained, the Fallen Star Royal Court sent a large number of craftsmen to volunteer their services."

"No wages are needed; as long as we provide enough materials, they will do their utmost to meet our needs!"

Making the royal court's reputation soar was truly the wisest move in the series.

I'm pushing the Anna Rebellion storyline first, it's fantastic!
Who says the gluttonous persona is useless?

Who said that!
Just then, Beiwo and Zhong Zemo returned, and everyone present began to discuss the layout of the defensive outpost, each expressing their own opinions.

On a side note, Jiang Heyi had a feeling that Zhong Zemo's expression was a bit strange when he returned.

He was all smiles in bed, constantly having a good time.

What happened?

The jailer was eager to try: "Let's go to the maze. The maze can delay the invaders' arrival at the teleportation channel to the greatest extent, giving Ksha and the others time to reinforce the defense."

"We can set up many necromancy spells in the maze to turn the dead invaders into allies."

He chuckled.

"Imagine lovers killing each other, relatives betraying each other, fathers and sons being kind and filial... It's exciting, I want to see it!"

The Sea Monster's Master Craftsman was visibly stunned for a few seconds.

He must be thinking, "How could these words come from one of our own heroes?"
"If you really want to arrange it this way, we can do it."

It's still in the discussion stage, there's no need to set a theme or tone immediately.

theme……

"Sounds like an amusement park." French Fries smirked. "Why not change the design concept to not only stop the intruders, but also provide them with a fun and unforgettable gaming experience?"

Well, the prison guard's proposal has stirred up everyone's "dark" thoughts.

They were all eager to set up instruments to catch and torture cockroaches.

The act of invading a guild and stealing its belongings seems more aptly described as being likened to a rat, but no one bothers with such trivial details anymore.

Everyone was racking their brains to come up with a difficult problem for the Siren's master craftsman.

The Siren's High Craftsman confessed, "I've truly witnessed a side of heroes that no one else knows, but I can understand; invaders should indeed be treated as inferior insects."

The Siren Master Craftsman was deeply moved by what the Ana Empire had done on the fallen star.

The maze and necromancy traps were the first two elements to be finalized.

Mint, who had been listening in and joining in the fun, suddenly interrupted.

"Killing them all would also be a way to stop them. Why don't we deploy an extremely powerful puppet or monster on the current floor?"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Right, since they all inherited the underground temple of the Clarity, why not imitate the style of the temple's early floors and fill it with some monsters?

The floor guardians who belong to the boundary between the real and the virtual!
This idea can be further developed.

Jiang Heyi teleported to the 12th floor, where Xilu and Freya were still there.

Freya, like an elegant ballerina, twirled rapidly in front of Yuu-dō, her toes barely touching the ground.

Jiang Heyi's visit interrupted the spinning of this beautiful giant top.

He got straight to the point.

"Could I ask Freya to guard this home that now belongs to us?"

Freya tilted her head.

Xi Lu laughed: "No."

Jiang Heyi pondered for a moment, then changed his request.

"Miss Yuu-lu has information on the monsters on each floor, so is it possible for her to restore them?"

"That depends on who it is."

"Frog-headed Frankenstein's monster".

"As a reward for your first attempt at a new project, this level of production is not a problem."

Both sides are quick-witted and outspoken.

What do I need to prepare?

With a casual wave of her hand, Xi Lu covered the pristine white paper with dense text.

The most eye-catching of them all is the "half-body of a siren".

Ah this...

The half-body character acquired early in the game has already been converted into part of the Royal Court reputation.

Even if you have a good relationship with Falling Star, asking them for half of the Siren's body is tantamount to self-destruction.

It's estimated that, apart from Ksha, the other sirens will harbor resentment.

"Is there any other alternative?"

“If you want to retain the Frog-Headed Stitches’ power to transform, you’ll at least need to find the Siren’s Demon Scales,” Yuu said. “That’s the key to the Siren’s ability to unleash her Word of Power.”

Wow, this thing is as hard to obtain as half a Siren...

Ugh?
It seems like they have Demon Scales in stock.

"Demon Scales, you want Demon Scales?" Kesha excitedly hugged Jiang Heyi, rubbing his cheeks against hers repeatedly. "Are we finally getting married?"

Removing the demon scales and temporarily giving them to one's lover to wear is a special ritual performed by the Fallen Star Siren before their marriage.

Pushed down in full view of everyone, Jiang Heyi quickly offered an explanation.

"I need to create a powerful Frankenstein's monster to protect our shared home!"

A perfect answer.

As a pivotal figure in the Fallen Star Royal Court, Kesha collected many Siren relics, including Demon Scales.

Some of them are well-preserved and still in effect today.

After examining the demon scales, Xi Lu nodded.

"No problem, two sets of tolerance are enough, we can make them for you."
