Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

A strange force surged forth, and Lauren, who had been charging forward just moments before, felt as if she had been punched in the chest. She was sent flying backward at high speed and crashed into the wall.

The god slowly lowered his small hand and sighed heavily: "You'll have to deal with these small fry yourself from now on. Fighting with idiots will only make my skills decline."

Chapter 296 The Heavenly King General is nothing special.

Smoke and dust billowed up and lingered for a long time.

Zuo Chang waited for a while, but Lauren did not appear. He was quite worried and asked, "Is she dead?"

The god shook his head: "He shouldn't die, after all, I didn't use any force. Besides, characters in the story usually have protective mechanisms, so it's difficult to kill him completely before completing his mission."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Just then, a weak cough was heard.

Lauren looked disheveled, all traces of her former elegance gone. Her pristine white clothes were covered in dust and stained with blood.

He staggered over, took a white handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the blood from his mouth: "Impressive! With such skills, assassinating Arc Light is indeed not a pipe dream, but I don't understand... why did you two come to me?"

It's not that he doesn't understand; Zuo Chang doesn't understand either.

He had thought Lauren would be an obstacle, perhaps because Lauren possessed superior martial arts skills. If he didn't deal with Lauren first, he would face great risks when fighting the BOSS.

but now……

That's it?

Zuo Chang hesitated for a moment, then said methodically, "I'm just here to say hello. Uh... Mr. Lauren, I've heard about your deeds before. I hope you won't be ungrateful and make a mistake for yourself."

"..."

The god looked at Zuo Chang with suspicion, his eyes conveying a clear message: Is this something a human would say?

"..."

Lauren was very dissatisfied!

But he didn't say.

He sighed, "Gentlemen, I'd love for you to go and kill Arc Light, so how could I possibly stop you? The Divine Sound Society is unfair; they're just using me!"

Lauren said this with indignation.

Logically speaking, how could anyone open their heart to a stranger, especially after being beaten up?

However, given the current environment, Lauren's comments are worth listening to.

The Weaving Fate system will examine the sentiments and aspirations of everyone within its effective range, and find the most logical possibility among countless threads to form the main storyline.

Lauren's dissatisfaction with the Divine Sound Society and with Arc Light is inevitable.

He continued, "You are probably familiar with the way Shenyin expands its influence."

Zuo Chang nodded: "A hunting party plus a guidance party."

"Yes. It's a mutually beneficial model. The hunting party and the guidance group work together and help each other. Once the community is conquered, the hunting party becomes the king and sends a portion of the profits to the Divine Sound Society as 'tribute.' Generally speaking, the hunting party decides which community to conquer, and the guidance group's opinion is only for reference. After all, it's the hunting party that actually loses in the battle."

"But this time is different, very different!"

“Arc Light ignored my wishes and came to develop this place, 96511. I had never heard of 96511 before, nor did I understand what was so good about this place. I only knew that there was a super-large iron mine here… I only reluctantly agreed because of my trust in the Arc Light priest.”

"But……"

Ugh.

Lauren sighed again: "I didn't know until right before I set off that 96511 not only had iron ore, but also the legendary Heavenly King General!"

Zuo Chang became interested: "Do you think General Tianwang is invincible?"

"Ha? General Tianwang is all talk and no action, just a brainless madman! I never thought much of him before, and now that his army has collapsed, he's a drowning dog. What's there to be afraid of!"

Kaka...

It's hard, the fist is hard.

What does "a dog that has fallen into the water" mean? It means this person in front of us. He just sent over a letter of surrender today. Zuo Chang hasn't even really beaten him yet, and he's already willing to surrender!

Just as the gods said.

When a copy is created, the concept of things within that copy is already fixed.

The Lauren in front of me is clearly the Lauren who hasn't been updated yet; he looks down on Zuo Chang.

He continued, "What really annoys me is that the Arc Light Priest didn't consider my interests! I don't want to be enemies with the Heavenly King General. I have no grudge against him, and I don't think there's any glory in defeating or killing him! But Arc Light clearly doesn't think so. She's extremely interested in killing the Heavenly King and is actively putting it into action, using my people instead!"

"The team I painstakingly built up is being used like this! Tell me, how can I accept this?"

Zuo Chang shook his head: "Let me go, I can't stand it."

"Yeah! I can't stand it either."

Lauren looked at Zuo Chang with satisfaction, feeling a sense of kinship.

He continued, "Do whatever you want! No matter what happens in the Heavenly King City, Your Excellency, neither I nor my men will interfere."

With that, the preliminary task is complete.

Next, there should only be the final boss battle.

Zuo Chang believed the time was ripe and immediately said, "Rose, let him in. We need to make Mr. Lauren feel genuinely shocked."

same moment.

in reality.

He stood up and left the study, looking at the blood rose reflected on the wall, and went into the guest room.

Inside the guest room, someone was already sitting quietly.

It was Lauren.

He heard the door open, looked up slightly, and saw a domineering yet alluring female body—Blood Rose.

The rain was pouring down, and even though it was still early, the world was shrouded in darkness.

Blood Rose stood in front of the door, backlit, the light and shadow carefully outlining her body, making her voluptuous and beautiful.

But her bright red eyes shone with a captivating light, exuding an imposing aura without anger.

Lauren dared not look too closely, bowing her head slightly in respect, thinking to herself, "So this is... the Blood Rose? As expected of a 'synonym for bloodshed and torture,' it is indeed as imposing as the rumors suggest!"

Blood Rose spoke up, "Mr. Lauren, you've been waiting. The King invites you."

Are we finally going to meet that legendary figure?

Lauren slowly stood up: "Please lead the way."

"Follow me."

The two entered the study one after the other.

Lauren looked around, and the first thing she noticed was the writhing spacetime rift.

Secondly, there are the images on the walls.

For some reason, Lauren herself was in the video!

Moreover, "that Lauren" seems to have just been in an unusual battle and was injured.

He pointed at the image and asked, "Ms. Rose, what is this?"

Blood Rose replied without mincing words: "A very new technology. Mr. Lauren, please enter the spacetime rift; the general is waiting for you there."

what?

Instinctively, Lauren became wary.

Suddenly sending someone into a time rift seems inappropriate, doesn't it? Based on general experience, time rifts are usually followed by dungeons, and nobody knows what happens after that until they go in.

What if we get killed as soon as we go in?

Lauren hesitated, but Blood Rose smiled and said, "Don't worry. General Tianwang has always acted with integrity and never resorts to underhanded tactics or sneak attacks. You've probably heard about that."

"..."

at this point!

Lauren gritted her teeth, nodded, and immediately said, "I understand."

He stepped into the spacetime rift, and Blood Rose turned her head to see him appear in the image on the wall.

Chapter 297 They can't be helped!

"come yet?"

"You've arrived."

Lauren was not yet used to the dizziness when she suddenly heard voices talking in front of her.

He looked up and saw a young man holding a little devil, smiling at him.

This is——

Zuo Chang!

Although I have never seen him in person, I have seen his portrait. If I am not mistaken, the man in front of me is the famous Heavenly King General.

be honest.

Ordinary. Nothing special about it.

Lauren let out a soft breath and said, "General Tianwang, I have long admired your name."

Zuo Chang nodded without speaking, appearing slightly arrogant.

Lauren looked around and found that he was extremely familiar with his surroundings—wasn't this his operations department?

only……

Where does this sense of unease in my heart come from?

Where did Zuo Chang get the audacity to show up here, holding a child?

He asked, "General, where is this place? I remember coming here through a spacetime rift. Could this be... a dungeon?"
