On the stage.
All the lights suddenly went out.
Old Yang reacted the fastest.
He imdiately pulled out his cane.
Acheron and Hiko remained on high alert.
Stelle and March 7th also summoned their fla spear and bow respectively.
"The dice have been cast—are you all ready to show your hands?"
Aventurine's image appeared on the giant screen.
"The inferior stones of The Architects..."
"Hahaha..."
"Worthless."
Three dice were thrown out.
Coincidentally,
they landed on three Spades!
Seemingly representing Aventurine's imnse luck!
At the very top of the entertainnt complex.
A golden light slowly descended.
"I place my bet."
"I gamble."
"I win."
The figure enveloped in golden light was none other than Aventurine, who had transford into his boss form!
His attire beca even more flamboyant and extravagant.
Two long trails draped down to his feet.
His face was completely covered by a mask.
A top hat adorned his head.
Even his voice carried a layer of String Vibration.
"I let fate spin the roulette, betting it all, traversing the land of death to be reborn."
In his hand.
A jade stone emitting an unusual glow floated.
This was the true Aventurine Stone!
However.
The originally smooth stone now had a crack.
After grasping the Aventurine Stone.
A burst of intense golden light erupted from Aventurine's chest.
Even the giant screen behind him was dyed pure gold!
"Everything for—the Amber King!"
A powerful aura radiated outward from Aventurine and stirred up a storm.
...
"Boss Aventurine form has appeared!"
"Damn, he looks so cool!"
"Holy crap, he's completely covered up."
"I wonder if Topaz, Jade, Diamond, and Opal will also get transformation forms?"
"Everything for the Amber King!!!"
"Hearing this, company players are going crazy with excitent!"
"If I were there, I'd probably can't help but applaud Aventurine."
"The most tempting episode to switch sides!"
"Everything for the Amber King!! ×10"
"Everything for the Amber King!! ×999"
At first, there were so other comnts.
But when Aventurine finished his last line.
In the live stream.
It was as if everyone's emotions were ignited.
All they could do was spam [Everything for the Amber King!]
It no longer felt like Little Gui's stream...
But more like an interstellar peace public broadcast!
The sheer volu of these overwhelming comnts far exceeded the number of active company employees.
They weren't even on the sa scale anymore.
"???"
"Holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap..."
"Please stop spamming!"
"People are gonna think the entire universe has joined the company!"
"Stop spamming, I'm getting scared..."
"If this keeps up, we might really summon the Amber King!"
"Qlipoth: Why are so many people calling my na today? Never mind, [Build Wall][Build Wall][Build Wall][Build Wall]..."
...
[Entering Battle]
"Co on, let's see who will have the last laugh—the ga begins!"
Guinaifen's gaze sharpened!
Just like all the players watching.
The first thing she noticed was the boss Aventurine's na—
[Ten Stonehearts: Aventurine of Stratagems]
Clicking on Aventurine's status bar.
Below was a brief introduction.
[A senior executive of the Strategic Investnt Departnt of the Interastral Peace Corporation, one of the Ten Stonehearts. By borrowing the power of the Cornerstone, he shares the authority of the Emanator of Preservation, using his body as a die, risking death to survive.]
"Everyone, confird! This is the full-powered form after using the Aventurine Stone!"
"I rember in the [Future Market] storyline, Topaz was almost about to transform too, luckily Bronya arrived just in ti..."
"Ahem, let's focus our attention on the boss Aventurine."
"Physical, Ice, and Lightning weaknesses?"
"Oh no, I'm using the Longdan team, not only countering weaknesses but also countering resistances!"
...
"Do you know why Aventurine has Physical, Ice, and Lightning weaknesses?"
"Weak to Lightning because he was once tied to an electric chair for torture, weak to Ice because he suffered from cold and lack of clothing since childhood, and weak to Physical because he was forced by slave owners to fight to the death, with only a pair of shackles helping the thin and frail him survive till the end."
"Damn it (crying)"
"Friend, are you trying to kill ?"
"How can I bring myself to fight him now?"
"Little Gui, don't hit him, wuwu, you're bad!"
...
Little Gui's team consists of Longdan, Bronya, Ruan i, and Gepard.
At first, she really couldn't bear to strike.
However.
As the battle went on, she noticed sothing was off.
The ever-victorious Longdan actually started to struggle!
The first phase took five minutes to whittle down.
Gepard was already at critical health.
Finally, they entered the second phase.
"Hahaha..."
"Even in adversity, as long as there is hope, people will always call..."
"The potential you possess is worth going all in...!"
In this second phase.
Aventurine even summons four 'All or Nothing' to forcibly gamble with the four characters in the team!
The Shields can't keep up, and teammates can't be protected.
Bronya was the first to fall.
Guinaifen complained, "Oh no, it feels like the difficulty just spiked?"
"He's really planning to trade one for one with !"
Fortunately.
Next, Gepard's passive triggered.
He got back up.
And unleashed a big move.
Finally.
A set of enhanced Basic Attacks from Longdan brought Aventurine's health down to 1%.
Guinaifen knew.
This was a health lock!
The
Aventurine sighed, "Hmph, everyone is like this..."
"Why can't we live more freely?"
Stelle charged forward with her flaming spear.
But Aventurine parried and deflected it.
In the next mont.
A ring of clouds appeared above his head, and Hiko's orbital cannon descended accordingly.
However.
Amidst the thick smoke.
Aventurine of Stratagems was not effectively hard!
He waved his sleeve.
And spoke in a deep voice, "Playing strong cards slowly, putting on airs..."
He extended his hand.
His finger pointed towards Acheron on the battlefield.
"You've made a bit impatient."
As he spoke.
Aventurine's figure gradually ascended into the air.
The sky above this Dreamscape was already shrouded in dark clouds.
Silver lightning flashed between heaven and earth.
"For the sake of enjoynt, everyone."
"I'll bet all my chips."
"Only by abandoning rationality is it a true gamble!"
He threw the chips in his hand towards the sky.
What seed like ordinary chips.
But it was as if a giant rock had fallen into a lake.
Creating massive ripples!
The sky was torn open by a huge golden rift.
The rift rapidly expanded.
Becoming a massive golden void covering the city below!
Golden, string-like objects fell from the void.
When everyone could finally see what those things were...
They were all stunned!
It wasn't a rain of golden swords or beams of light or any such attack.
But chips!
Countless chips raining down from the sky!
A golden rain fell upon Penacony!
All the skyscrapers were already dyed in a dazzling golden hue!
...
"My god!?"
"You think this is strong? No! There's even stronger."
"Acheron hasn't even made her move yet..."
"Holy crap! This scene! Aventurine, are you really this powerful?"
"Epic mont: Penacony faces the crisis of Destruction."
"Even in a shattered state, Aventurine's stone is this awe-inspiring?"
"He's gone all in!?"
"First ti I've used 'Richie' to describe a character's special effects!"
"This bgm? I'm almost afraid Aventurine will start dancing next!"
"This is the true Golden Hour!"
"Mom, money is really falling from the sky, so much money!"
"Aventurine, next ti you unleash your ultimate, give us a heads-up so I can go collect the money."
