Am I going to be controlled by the players too?

"That's perfect... So much has happened today, I've got nowhere to vent." Cheng Cheng released his grip, stretched out his arms, his knuckles cracking. "Someone's brought a punching bag, let's have a good beating!"

Having said that, he took out the Dragon Roar from the box and attacked the attacker like lightning!

…………

gun.

At the very first moment of the battle, Cheng Cheng used his strongest spear, the Fire Seed.

Her skin split open, and countless gun barrels emerged from her body, pointing in all directions. Then, a barrage of gunfire erupted like thunder, and a dense rain of bullets swept over everything around her except Freya!

After controlling Sylvia to kill Jingguan Bodhisattva, Sylvia has reached the peak of the Gold Realm, while Cheng Cheng himself has reached the late Gold Realm through the sharing of their attributes!

With the support of ample cultivation, the power of the gun's spark has been further awakened, and Cheng Cheng has also endowed it with the power of "lightning" and "fire punishment". Each bullet has the power to penetrate the holy domain!

Millions of bullets were fired at the same time, colliding densely in the air. All the messengers had no way to avoid it. The sacred domain was easily torn apart, and their bodies were pierced by bullets. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a pile of mud, with blood and flesh mixed with rainwater splashing all over the ground!

"Deadly Move: Crimson Lotus Thunderfire Metal Storm!"

If a killing move is the combination of multiple fire seeds, then this can be considered a temporary killing move—although it is a bit rudimentary, the combined power of two superior fire seeds and one inferior fire seed is absolutely enough to instantly kill any early-stage Gold-ranked monster!

The smoke of battle has cleared.

Cheng Cheng clapped his hands, thinking the matter was resolved, but when he saw the more than thirty unharmed figures, he couldn't help but pause: "Huh?"

The messengers did not answer the questions, but instead charged with their guns!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

In an instant, Cheng Cheng drew his sword to parry, splitting open the five blood-stained spears that attacked at the same time. Then, with a single blade, he charged into the spears and chopped off one of their heads!

Blood gushed out, staining the rain red.

However, the man only fell for a moment before his head, which had rolled into the sewage, flew high into the air and rejoined the neck of the headless corpse. He then got up as if nothing had happened and continued to kill!

"Undying? A vampire?"

Cheng Cheng was slightly startled.

These thirty-odd Gold Saints were all born from the flesh and blood of the Lord, inheriting his characteristics and abilities. The Lord's full name is:

Distobia Vitoso, the Vampire Desperate for Death, is a vampire who is determined to die and will die a thousand deaths!

The first Blood Ancestor created by the Netherworld Blood Lord, the vampire with the strongest immortality, who can be reborn with a drop of blood!

"Interesting, but not much."

Cheng Cheng withstood several shots with his Saintly Domain, then slashed off another man's head. However, his back was breached, and a cold glint flashed towards his lower back—

"Pseudo-canon: Yan Longxiao!"

A fiery dragon swept past him, shattering the blood spear and incinerating several vampires before crashing into the manor's woods, bursting into flames that vaporized the falling rain.

Freya gripped her small staff tightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and transformed her left hand into a gun, firing in bursts. The dense barrage of bullets repelled several hands reaching towards her.

"it is good!"

Cheng Cheng laughed loudly and used lightning again. Purple arcs of electricity shot from his fingertips, branching and spreading in the rain, crawling all over the bodies of each messenger—

Electrochemical reactions and diffusion reactions!

The attack caused the vampire to convulse and freeze in place.

"...Two, one!"

Cheng Cheng made a graceful turn, spinning back to Freya's side, then extended his left hand and snapped his fingers:

"Snapped."

The eight or nine envoys who had been fighting Cheng Cheng at close range trembled, as if pulled by the same string, their pupils dilating. Their arms then dropped limply, and they stood on the ground in contorted postures, like puppets with broken strings—

puppet!

So what if one possesses immortality?

With eight fire seeds, Cheng Cheng is too well-rounded and cannot be regarded as just a golden late-game character. He has attack, control, and mechanics, plus the double bonus of the "Arrogance" card. His left fist has high damage and his right fist has high mechanics. Who can withstand him?

In terms of sheer destructive power and physical prowess, he may not be as good as Navel, who has mastered the Five Fingers Heart Sword, but if it comes down to a real fight, no gold in the world can rival him!

The nine vampires transformed into puppets and charged towards their companions, finally giving Cheng Cheng a chance to catch his breath and take control.

His fingers danced lightly in the wind and rain, his body swaying, like a pianist playing music at sea.

The puppets danced for him, and Cheng Cheng pointed out a point, like a conductor waving a baton. The spiritual threads of another messenger were manipulated, and the number of puppets continued to increase while the number of messengers continued to decrease!

Soon, thirty puppets stood in front of Cheng Cheng, with only a few still putting up a stubborn resistance!

"It's over," Cheng Cheng said softly.

Just then, a fierce wind howled, a torrential downpour began, and thunder seemed to rumble in the clouds!

A figure broke free from the upside-down world, and all the raindrops paused in the air for a moment before falling again.

Not knowing why the inverted demon had trapped her, Vilette's gaze first swept over the half of the eastern district that had been bombed into ruins, then turned towards the western suburbs, in the direction of her home—

There, the fire dragon that Freya had unleashed was still burning fiercely.

"The new Castle Law has been promulgated. Effective immediately, anyone who enters another person's residence without an invitation will be executed on the spot!"

As a decree was promulgated, several vampires who were still putting up a stubborn resistance screamed as their heads flew high into the air, spun two and a half times, and then fell back onto their necks.

Without Vilette specifically targeting the undead, those who possess immortality can instantly recover even if sentenced to death!

Freya and Cheng Cheng were naturally fine—they were guests invited by Sylvia.

Cheng Cheng took a step back, grabbed Freya, and fought back, preparing to leave with her before Vilette returned home—

"With the promulgation of the new Urban Traffic Law, law enforcement officers can return to their homes instantly."

Another decree was promulgated, and "Justice" modified the laws of the city, causing his figure to blur and instantly traverse a distance of hundreds of miles. His figure solidified in the rain curtain of the manor and arrived in front of the two!

He first looked at the group of messengers lying on the ground, then at Freya, his face full of doubt: "I remember you are Sylvia's partner... What happened here?"

However, the next moment, the surviving envoys knelt on the ground: "Lord Vilette, we have come to welcome Princess Freya back to the throne on His Majesty's last decree. Please do not disobey the imperial decree!"

"A will? His Majesty has passed away?" Vilette was shocked, then looked at Freya, "...Princess?"

After the messenger revealed her identity, the invisible veil bestowed upon Freya by the saintess gradually lost its effectiveness. Vilette's eyes widened as she slowly compared the girl's figure with the princess in her memories...

"She's not going."

Cheng Cheng reached out and stood in front of Freya.

However, Villette's next words sent a chill down his spine:

“Young man, do not make a mistake.” Vilette’s voice was deep. “Princess Freya’s ascension to the throne is ordained by Heaven. Your killing of an angel is already a grave crime. Do not seek your own death!”

…………

Vilette made a decision in the blink of an eye: Freya must be brought to the throne!

Firstly, this is the Queen's will, and as her subjects, they cannot disobey it; secondly, this action is in accordance with the established order, and Freya's right to succession is far superior to anyone else's.

Thirdly, the prince was not dead; his true identity was a demon!

If a new ruler is not immediately established, who knows what kind of chaos it will cause in the capital?

Moreover, given the cunning and methods of the Inverted Demon, it is impossible to defeat him in a short time—his essence has not been altered, so how could he allow his daughter Sylvia to sit on a throne full of pitfalls?

As for Princess Freya's own wishes...

What does it have to do with him!

Rather, Freya, as the Crown Princess, has a responsibility to step forward now, inherit the throne, and serve the country and its people—this is "justice"!

Seeing Vilette's resolute attitude, Cheng Cheng felt a chill run down his spine, but he still stood in front of Freya.

Having witnessed the Jingguan Bodhisattva, he knew that he was no match for Vilette alone. If he were to fight against her, not only would victory be out of the question, but even escape would be a pipe dream.

Although his soul body could be canceled at any time, once he did, it would also mean giving up resistance, abandoning his promise to Freya to "take her away", and pushing Freya onto a throne she did not want!

What should I do?

He had two choices at that moment:

[I. Obey Vilette, abandon your own vow, and allow Freya to ascend the throne, becoming a vessel for the Source.]

Part Two: Starting Over

The saintess's jade pendant is on Sylvia. The only way to start over is to revert to a previous save... which means killing Freya here.

Anyway, after the rollback, Freya won't remember that he tried to kill her, and she will still love him as much as before; and he will have more time to take her away from Vilette!

Even though the system page wasn't expanded, the options seemed to appear before Mu Daoxing's eyes, thanks to the years of experience he had been given to him.

How to choose?

Chapter 96, Arrogance IF Route: Lovers Are Wounded

[I. Obey Vilette, abandon your own vow, and allow Freya to ascend the throne, becoming a vessel for the Source.]

Part Two: Starting Over

Option: [II. Start Over]

There was no time to hesitate.

If Vilette couldn't wait to make a move and simply set up a rule, she could kill him—who knows if he, in his soul form, was truly dead?

Cheng Cheng neither dared to gamble nor knew how to gamble.

Conversely, as soon as Freya dies, a rollback will be triggered immediately, returning to the time before everything happened!

"Freya, I'm sorry."

Cheng Cheng took Freya's hand and hugged her tightly, his fingers tracing her face, a feeling of reluctance and sorrow rising in his heart.

"I promise you, the pain will only last a moment."

Freya seemed to realize something and gently closed her eyes: "Okay, I believe you."

"You bastard, what are you doing?!"

Villette sensed something was wrong; the phantom of a judge materialized behind her, his gavel raised high, as if to pronounce a verdict—

But it was all too late.

"All paths have vanished without a trace—"
