Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Click.

Mayumi probably doesn't feel any regret.

Her appetite was not affected at all, and she continued to eat.

……

……

One player has died.

A message appeared in the view of every player at the same time.

Bai Lin was slightly taken aback, not expecting this instance to have death reports. He looked at Kumo Lie, who was nominally conducting a "routine inspection" but was actually "sabotaging" things, and asked, "Brother Kumo, is it done?"

"Alright, alright. All three annihilation guns are disabled!"

Kumarajiva put down his tools and a smile appeared on his face.

Bai Lin nodded, just about to say thank you for your hard work, when several Radiant Guardians suddenly "spawned" in front of him.

They were using the same tools as Kumarajiva, and were actually repairing a mortar that had been disabled.

Bai Lin was slightly taken aback, not understanding what had happened.

He turned to look at Kumārajīva, who seemed like a completely different person. The smile on his face had vanished, replaced by an unconcealable worry.

He whispered, "This is bad. White Scale Knight, the Arc Light Priest has discovered that the Annihilation Cannon is disabled. Not only has he stripped me of my maintenance privileges, but he's also sending people to repair it!"

"……what?"

The white scales remain unresolved.

Things changed too quickly for him to react.

Kumārajīva continued, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings, "You only have a quarter of an hour left, hurry up!"

At the same time, a brand new task prompt appears:

[A player triggered the BOSS battle, and Arclight discovered that the annihilation cannon was disabled. She changed the maintenance team and ordered people to repair the annihilation cannon.]

[Time remaining until the annihilation cannon is repaired: 14:59:59.]

The devastating power of the annihilation cannon should not be underestimated; players are urged to hurry and finish the dungeon as soon as possible.

What was once a great instance now seems to have become time-limited.

Bai Lin felt a sudden tightness in his chest, but he didn't lose his composure.

He looked at Kumārajīva and asked, "Brother Kumārajīva, are you alright?"

"Sigh, I'm afraid of being investigated. If they do, I'll definitely be exposed..." Kumara sighed softly. "White Scale Knight, you don't need to worry about my safety. Please hurry up and deal with Arc Light. Don't let my efforts be in vain!"

Going directly there definitely won't work.

This instance is extremely bizarre; I fear that if Kumārajīva were killed here, he would not have a good end in reality either.

How should we explain this to Zuo Chang at that time?

Without hesitation, Bai Lin immediately said, "Mr. Mu, could you please protect Brother Jiumo?"

Musuogen understood the implications and nodded, saying, "Go ahead, I will risk my life to protect Brother Jiumo!"

Bai Lin nodded, immediately summoned the Cloud-Stepping Beast, flipped over, mounted it, and sped towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Upon approaching, he saw Zuo Chang and the Heavenly God standing in front of the teleportation portal.

Zuo Chang watched Bai Lin land and said, "There was a slight accident, it's my fault. My original intention was to try to recruit Lauren, but I didn't expect her to be so stubborn... She didn't even prepare properly, yet she dared to challenge a BOSS?"

"Trying to recruit everyone will only get you into trouble, General."

Bai Lin looked at the teleportation portal in front of him and said, "But it's not a fatal flaw. At least we still have thirteen minutes. Thirteen minutes shouldn't be a problem."

"..."

How do you speak?

Zuo Changxian held back!

He gestured with his hand and said, "Let's go. I was hoping to see if I could get more in this instance, but it seems like there's no chance now... Let's go meet Arclight."

The three stepped through the portal.

"Ignorant person!"

The same rebuke rang out.

Arc Light was still dressed the same as before. She looked coldly at the three people in front of her and swung the sharp blade in her hand.

At the same moment, a violent surge of magical energy suddenly appeared!

Zuo Chang turned his head and saw that Bai Lin's eyes were blood red, and his body was surrounded by tangled and converging demonic energy, so intense that it resembled an abyss.

"Moo..."

The cloud-riding beast beneath him let out uneasy cries; this sacred beast appeared even more ferocious under the shadow of demonic energy.

"Sigh. No matter how many times I watch it, I can't help but marvel at how abundant human emotions are."

On the other side, the God of Heaven stood at Zuo Chang's feet and spoke in an old-fashioned manner.

Chapter 299 The Far-Sighted God

In just one glance, Zuo Chang noticed that the arc light on the other side seemed a little different.

She possessed an inexplicable aura of power; though she was merely standing, she exuded an imposing presence that seemed to overwhelm others, as if she were something extraordinary.

"Concentration artillery! Ready!"

On the other side, Arclight carried out her pre-programmed actions. Her first move against any player who dared to enter this realm was to bombard them with artillery fire!

but--

Unlike before, this time, not even a single cannon appeared behind Arclight.

Having received the standard answer in advance, Zuo Chang certainly wouldn't make a mistake.

With the assistance of Kumārajīva, all the annihilation cannons have become ineffective.

"It seems you've made thorough preparations..."

Arclight noticed the anomaly, but she didn't seem surprised.

She calmly brandished her longsword, the tip pointing directly at Zuo Chang: "I just don't know if your skills are good enough!"

She's attacking!

Zuo Chang stood motionless, while Bai Lin, who seemed to have completely fallen into demonic possession, took the initiative to meet him, colliding fiercely with the arc light.

The spear and the sword clashed, sparks flying.

The arc light sword technique was quite remarkable. The frost blade was wielded with a chilling aura. In just a few rounds, a thick layer of frost was left on the ground. Even Zuo Chang, who was thirty meters away, could feel a bone-chilling cold.

The white scales are even more powerful and heavy!

This instance suppressed his abilities, but he was now corrupted by the heretical path. A long spear pierced through the frost and looked like a black dragon rolling in the clouds, its momentum incredibly powerful.

Zuo Chang stared intently and said, "With the power of the heretical path enhanced, Bai Lin's combat power clearly exceeds that of the seventh realm! Logically speaking, the Arc Light should not be able to withstand it, so why..."

Why does the arc light appear so composed?

With a single sweep of his spear, Bai Lin's attack resembled a giant wave crashing against the shore, easily shattering the mountaintop.

But with a single, sweeping sword strike, the fierce attack was easily blocked—this—

This was completely beyond Zuo Chang's comprehension and did not conform to the laws of physics!

The god crossed his arms and said, "Don't you understand?"

Zuo Chang looked at her: "What do I understand?"

“We are currently under the influence of fate, so all BOSS-level characters naturally receive preferential treatment. Otherwise, wouldn’t they be easily killed? This Arc Light is clearly a BOSS template. Her current stats are extremely powerful, and she also has super armor, so she cannot be easily controlled.”

What the deity said seemed perfectly reasonable, but Zuo Chang found it utterly unbelievable.

He looked at the little one at his feet: "Do you know what you just said, God?"

The god looked up: "What's wrong?"

You asked what happened...?

Zuo Chang pointed at the arc light and said, "Why didn't you take advantage of the fact that you could still modify the underlying logic of 'Weaving Fate' and cancel this setting? Who would give an enemy a power-up? I don't understand!"

The Celestial God said solemnly, "You're talking strangely! This instance wasn't part of my calculations. If Bai Lin hadn't doubted that I was a Celestial God, I wouldn't have used his obsession to create this instance. It was an accident, but is it my fault for an accident?"

Zuo Chang softened his tone: "I didn't mean to blame you, I... I'm just stating the facts."

"Speaking objectively, we cannot cancel the bonus to the BOSS from the Weaving Fate system."

Ugh.

This Zuo Chang is completely clueless.

The deity patiently explained, “To initiate the weaving of destiny, one must have a corresponding obsession. I have seen it all and am long since at peace, with no obsession to speak of; you, an outsider, certainly won’t have a decent obsession in the short term, so the object of initiating the weaving of destiny was never you or me from the beginning. Can you imagine where I should go to find ‘obsession’?”

Where can I go to find my obsession?

If Zuo Chang still doesn't understand after the deity has spoken so plainly, then he would be rather foolish.

Once Zuo Chang understood the god's intention, two words immediately came to mind—

Subtle!

There is one readily available "obsession".

There is a group of people who are determined to fight back, even if they are condemned by everyone and even if they drag the whole world down with them!

them……

Or rather, his obsession was deeply rooted and unbreakable; this person was Leonard Hessé of the Hessé clan.

His ambition was to overthrow the gods.

If the Heavenly God uses his obsession to create a dungeon, the BOSS in the dungeon will undoubtedly be the Heavenly God himself; as the Heavenly God's "follower," Zuo Chang could at least get the treatment of a "boss in the path."

If all else fails, an elite monster should do, right?
