Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

[Polka Kakamu: How arrogant!]

[Lagushi: Polka, your achievements are indeed remarkable, but that's all. Like the Omniscient Realm, your thinking is stagnant.]

He rested his chin on his hand and smiled faintly.

However, from his perspective, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Her limited understanding left her completely unaware of the magnitude of the mistakes she had made, and even now, she couldn't possibly figure out how to close that loophole.

[Potio: His darling is far too confident. Does he really think a mere Envoy can easily take down a Star God?]

space station.

Hei Ta forcibly suppressed the urge to play with the showerhead with the coffee in his mouth and swallowed it. This saved Ruan Mei from a special face mask treatment.

She patted her chest twice, her eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty.

"This guy's idea... is surprisingly bold!"

He glanced discreetly at the fourth mirror in the lab: "Who would have thought that in such a remote corner of the universe, the machine head would have such an enemy?"

But the more she thought about it, the more curious she became: "Who exactly is it?"

Ruan Mei put down her cup and said quietly, "Do you really think that a Destruction Envoy, just by being born, can kill a Star God of Intelligence?"

"No possibility of the weak defeating the strong can be found; the size of a Star God is far too different from that of a mortal." Screw Gum's eyes flashed. "But..."

Black Tower frowned.

[Black Tower: Although I don't know what the so-called Iron Tomb of the Annihilation Lord is, nor do I understand where Lai Gushi's confidence comes from, judging from his current achievements, he is definitely not a delusional madman. If he dares to say it, then he must have at least a 60% chance of success. In other words, in his view, the success rate must be greater than the failure rate.]

[Screw Gumm: Although this may not be the most pleasant way to put it, the birth of Mr. Whitebeard says something, doesn't it?]

[March 7th: So, you guys really think this is plausible? That's ridiculous!]

[Fu Xuan: Judging from my discerning eye, he was indeed not lying, nor was he bluffing. He had absolute confidence in his actions!]

There was a lot of discussion in the chat group.

It's not uncommon for some to have a vague idea that Onphalus is nurturing the Extinction Lord. After all, Nanuk's arrival without destroying everything suggests that there are precedents for what He intends to do.

But who could have imagined that Lai Gushi, this accomplice of [Destruction], would harbor such grand ambitions! Especially since his outrageous ideas were actually validated by two geniuses and the magical artifact bestowed upon him by the Venerable Master of Knowledge!

Perhaps the only more compelling evidence left is that the Venerable One himself admitted it, or that He died a violent death right before everyone's eyes!

[Potio: Holy crap, what the hell! Where did this guy even come from?]

……

"That's a good thing."

In a corner of the starry sky, a man dressed in a pure white tuxedo with light blonde hair braided at the ends showed no surprise; instead, he smiled warmly.

"Although our goals are not entirely the same, his success would naturally increase the feasibility of our cause."

Rakshasa turned around and looked at his silent companion: "Isn't that so?"

Jingliu's crimson eyes swept over him coldly: "Xianzhou is different. Don't think of treating her like Onpharos, as some kind of petri dish."

A burst of frigid cold air erupted.

A cold wind blew, and the surrounding trees and grasses were all turned into ice sculptures, and then shattered into dust.

Rakshasa's clothes and hair fluttered in the wind. He raised his hands to the side and smiled calmly, "Of course. After all... I'm not some kind of madman."

You better not be.

……

[March 7th: Wait, wait. I remember Lady Black Tower said that Lycurgus was someone from the Genius Club, right? Why would a genius assassinate the Wise One? At least the destruction of Nanook by the Destruction Commander could be explained, but what about the Wise One? Did he feel that the Wise One had miscalculated something, and thus, in a fit of rage, he wouldn't rest until he killed him?]

[Star: What a genuine and down-to-earth academic atmosphere!]

[Black Tower: That's what I'm wondering about too. Could it be that he's not a mole within the club, but rather someone who destroys carefully cultivated talent?]

[Polka Kakamo: It could never be someone from the club. Anyone who even remotely thought that way wouldn't be alive today, and no one knows that better than me.]

[Black Tower: Even the universally loved and universally praised Silent Lord has said this...]

[Laigushi: Who I am is not important; what matters is that the arrogant star god is about to meet his end!]

"...Or, we have another option."

The video started streaming.

With her hand on her chest, Xi Lian made her decision in the blink of an eye in the face of the invitation to destroy the world.

She looked at Lai Gushi: "Just as you said, Onpharos was just an experiment. We were just players in it, and could only follow the predetermined path to our fate, watched by the stars..."

She abruptly changed the subject: "But that also means there must be more than one Star God casting a glance at Onpharos, right?"

"...Oh?" Laigushi paused for a moment, but didn't say another word.

However, Xi Lian had already gotten the answer she wanted.

[Laigushi: A sapling cultivated using the equation of destruction can only shine its brightest light when it is ablaze. To seek another's gaze... is to cast pearls before swine.]

[Star: Hmm... how should I put it? These analogies are good, but it feels like your IQ and EQ are extremely mismatched. You've come out all along, you're the one who treated people's entire world like toys, the mastermind behind the deaths of their loved ones, right? You don't really think you can get people to risk their lives for you just by promising to "become a real life," do you? Who knows if you're telling the truth? I wouldn't agree to that either.]

[Jing Yuan: Two possibilities. First, naturally, having been in the position of "creator" for too long, watching the creators act according to his wishes, he inevitably developed the arrogance of a "higher-dimensional being." To be honest, this is not uncommon; even some incompetent leaders are like this. But there is also a second possibility... Lai Gushi, you have a reason why you have to do this!]

"Oh dear, is this a difficult question to answer? Or am I right, actually..."

She smiled faintly, playfully keeping everyone in suspense: "This world has long been within the sights of the other star gods?"

Lai Gushi remained silent, but Xi Lian's eyes grew even brighter.

"Because it's just so strange no matter how you look at it. If you just stood by and watched us complete the ritual and be swallowed by the black tide, your goal would naturally be achieved."

"Why bother explaining all this to us?"

Bai E crossed his arms: "You're just putting on airs, revealing all the so-called 'truth' to deceive us and cover up another possibility..."

He said with absolute certainty, "Onphalus's fate will not end in destruction alone!"

[Star: Wow. So, the market for Commanders is that competitive now? Star Gods are scrambling for them like aunties grabbing eggs at a morning market, first come, first served? I thought only Nanook liked other people's Commanders, turns out it's the norm.]

[March 7th: Such a top-notch battle of wits, and you came to this conclusion?]
