Starting with Crimson

Bang!

A soft thud was heard as the object hit the ground.

Looking at Angel, who had completely lost her life and was as charred as a piece of coal.

The gentle smile on Lilith's face gradually disappeared.

"Finally... dead...?"

"Never mind, next one."

Lilith casually tossed Angel's remains to the ground and expressionlessly opened the virtual map of Sahar.

However, just as Lilith was about to check the location of the next target...

Suddenly, a white light shone from Angel's broken body, which had lost all vitality.

Followed by.

Endless, terrifying white light, like a tsunami, surged wildly from Angel's body.

Feeling a sudden sense of impending danger, Lilith frantically alerted the police. She was checking the map and, without hesitation, vanished into the void, disregarding the source of the danger.

But... it didn't work...

Yes...it didn't work!

This terrifying white light seemed to be able to penetrate space and time, and pass through all obstacles.

For an instant.

It then pierced through the void, covering Lilith who had disappeared into the void, and continued to surge outwards without any hindrance.

The terrifying white light was rapidly expanding and spreading wildly.

If you were to look at Saha from space at this moment, you would be able to clearly see a white dot of light slowly expanding on the surface of Saha.

It kept expanding until...

It was as easy as popping a balloon, puncturing it from the inside out...

The atmosphere of Saha...

............................

The U.S. Presidential Palace.

An elderly man in a suit and tie was sitting in an empty conference room, watching a live broadcast from Button City.

The old man's pale golden, dry hair was combed into a strange shape, making him look somewhat comical.

but....

The old man's face was full of sorrow, and his hands, which were placed on the table, clenched involuntarily.

Watching the white light overflowing the screen, slowly dimming as the screen went out.

The old man's eyes flickered, as if he were recalling...

Scenes from when they just adopted Angel...

"Angel, come here and call me Daddy."

The old man squatted down in front of Angel, his face kind and gentle, patiently guiding her.

Hearing the old man's words, Angel looked up innocently and exclaimed, "Old Trump!"

The old man said affectionately, "Yes... Dad, Dad!"

Angel blinked her big, clear eyes. "Old...Te?"

"Dad!" The old man couldn't help but raise his voice, as if he couldn't quite believe Angel's stupidity.

"Good boy/girl!"

Suddenly, Angel gave the old man a big, radiant smile.

Why....

That stubborn brat...

I shouldn't have let you participate in this competition...

................................

A weak, intermittent, childish voice, accompanied by a series of muffled thuds, rang out from Angel's voice and echoed in Li Qingyu's ears.

"You bastards, listen to me..."

"I'll take care of this woman for you guys in a bit."

"You guys absolutely have to win..."

"Old Trump, I didn't embarrass you."

"I am the one..."

"M, vp...."

The audio has ended.

Li Qingyu fell silent for a moment.

Is this... Angel's last words...?

It clearly looks like it's about to kick the bucket...

Li Qingyu quickly opened the virtual map of Saha Star, where the two dots, one red and one blue, were still overlapping.

Is this... not over yet?

Just as Li Qingyu was filled with doubt and surprise.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently.

Immediately afterwards, a series of system notifications sounded.

[System: Congratulations to Angel, a contestant from the Pet Civilization, for defeating Lilith, a contestant from the Abyss Civilization, ending Lilith's rampage.]

[Congratulations to Angel from the Pet Civilization for acquiring all the oasis areas plundered by Lilith from the Abyss Civilization.]

[Since Angel, a contestant in the Pet Civilization, has died, the oasis area she gained will not be counted towards the contestant's personal oasis area, but only towards the total area of ​​the Pet Civilization.]

[System notification: The death of a player with a red name will not end the already activated Frenzied Killing Mode.]

Once the flames of slaughter are ignited, how can they be easily extinguished?

Death... is only the beginning...

died?

They're all dead?

Sure enough, when Li Qingyu looked at the virtual map of Saha Star again, the overlapping red and blue dots had disappeared.

This is... mutual destruction?

Suddenly, the ground shook again.

What followed was a series of extremely violent shaking.

Li Qingyu, who was being shaken, quickly looked around but could not find the source of the shaking.

It was as if... the entire desert was shaking...

Could it be... an earthquake?

Just as Li Qingyu was filled with doubt, Crimson suddenly jumped out.

[Crimson: Although the distance is very, very far.]

However... I still saw it...

Did you see that?

Grandpa, what did you see? Tell me, why are you keeping me in suspense?

[Crimson: What's your hurry, kid....]

[Ahem... Antimatter engine, do you know what that is?]

Holy crap, Crimson, are you looking for a beating today?

All I know are electric motors and antimatter engines. Do you think I know anything about those?

[Crimson: Oh dear... how could you be so silly....]

In short, the girl who just sent the voice message revealed it herself. Is that clear enough now?

[You can't even see it when it's so obvious? What a blatant lie!]

Hey... are you trying to reach for the heavens...?

They've all learned to swear...

After hearing Crimson's explanation, Li Qingyu looked at the location of Angel and Lilith's battle on the virtual map of Saha Star with a surprised expression, and then glanced at his own location.

Li Qingyu couldn't help but stretch out his finger and compare the distance between the two.

Sir, are you sure... this is a self-destruction?!

Half a planet away! I could feel the power of that self-destruction even from half a planet away...

Damn it...

You could believe me if you said it was a continental shelf vibrator...

Are all the seeded players this strong?!

At this moment, Li Qingyu's heart, which had been secretly proud of being at the top of the rankings, suddenly suffered a painful and heavy blow.

I was just comparing the duel between Angel and Lilith to the battlefield of the rat horde on my side.

Looking back now, it seems a bit ridiculous.

Their battle is clearly aimed at destroying the planet, while ours...

It's at best a small slaughterhouse...

Li Qingyu couldn't help but glance at the chat panel.

At this moment, the civilized chat channel was quiet, as everyone seemed to be savoring the message left by Angel.

As for the world chat channel, it's quite lively.

"Steam Civilization Oil Stain Viviel: The Abyss Civilization's seeded player actually perished along with the Monster Civilization's seeded player. Are humans that fierce?"

"Flos of the Giant Tree Civilization: That's not the point! The point is, after they died, the entire plane was shaking! Who was that guy who was so powerful?!"

"Steam Civilization Rust Vivier: I don't know if you guys saw it or not, but I saw it from my side. That endless white light in the sky rose from where they were fighting."

"Shaya, the witchcraft civilization: We and they are clearly not playing the same game."

.............................

Li Qingyu casually closed the chat panel, not wanting to delay any longer.

Sitting among the rice paddies, Li Qingyu took out all the magic cores he had collected from the rat swarm from his pocket.

Then, Li Qingyu took out the storage bucket and poured some water out of it.

I gave these blood-stained and foul-smelling magic cores a quick rinse.

What?

A water container... isn't it only for holding foot bath water?
