The next second, a gray beam pierced through the space between his eyebrows, and he fell to the ground.
For Lu Ce, the difficulty of dealing with him could basically be said to be non-existent.
Because of the chaos they had stirred up, the world had entered a brief state of disorder, and so, he too had died within this disorder.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Ce had always been very restrained with himself in the real world, so this could also be considered getting what he asked for.
Lu Ce twisted his wrist. He hadn't known until just now that Black Knight's Deathly Stillness Beam could actually be used in this state.
This was truly a pleasant surprise. If that was the case, even without wearing a mask, he could still have a completely distinct set of ability changes compared to when he wore a mask.
However...
"How did you know he was lying?" Lu Ce asked sowhat strangely. For a mont just then, he had thought that after Black Knight's upgrade by Death, it had genuinely gained so ability to read minds.
But if it really had, why didn't the in-ga interface ntion it at the ti?
"Of course I didn't know, I don't have that kind of skill," Black Knight said matter-of-factly.
"I was just saying it casually. Sigh, you're still too much of a goody-two-shoes when you're not wearing a mask."
"Anyway, you were definitely going to kill them in the end, so trying it out wouldn't have been a problem."
Lu Ce: ...
Tsk, how did Black Knight beco like this? Who on earth did it learn this from?
Adjusting the position of his wristband, he turned to look at the Dragon Group mbers.
Mostly, these were mbers within the Dragon Group, but the majority wore blue uniforms, indicating a support or administrative status.
Lu Ce turned around and flashed everyone a smile that he thought was very friendly, like a bright-eyed, cheerful boy.
"Hey."
Everyone in the Dragon Group stiffened.
Judging by his actions just now, this unexpected person who appeared should be a good guy who ca to help.
But due to the multiple Divine Might Baptisms and the Godhood Seed, the oppressive feeling after he made his move was still sowhat difficult to face directly.
And now, because of his swift and decisive action just then, the entire street block had beco very well-behaved. The disturbances and argunts had all vanished as if they had never existed, and even the traffic situation had improved considerably!
In a state of chaos, the most direct violent deterrence was still the most effective.
"Help with directions. Where are these kinds of people currently appearing? Point in the right direction."
As he spoke, Lu Ce glanced at the countdown tir in the ga.
Hmm, there's still ti before the final ga starts. I can still cause more trouble for these people.
He wasn't very interested in the things the other party had said earlier, but that sentence, "Shouldn't Divine Punishnt be the sa as us?" instantly grabbed his attention.
The implication behind that sentence couldn't withstand deep scrutiny. If Xie Antong had so special identity related to the ga that she was hiding from him, it didn't seem particularly necessary.
Back in Donghai, both of them had said they could be enemies, yet later in the ga, she was always the one on his side.
But if that wasn't the case, then it was just that the Apostle earlier hadn't explained clearly, either because his brain was ssed up, or because the ga wouldn't let him.
Hearing Lu Ce's voice, the Dragon Group personnel quickly took out their phones, hurriedly checked the communication records within the Dragon Group, and spoke up:
"Basically, these suddenly appearing Apostles are all causing trouble around the shrinking zone boundaries."
"According to the alerts, there are simply too many specific locations..."
"OK, I understand." Lu Ce nodded and imdiately set off again.
"Wait! What are you planning to...?" The blue-uniford Dragon Group mber asked hesitantly, seemingly not having organized his words either.
"Ah, didn't I just say? I'm from Divine Punishnt. My actions are all according to the requirents of our boss, Xie Antong. If you have any questions about my plans, you can go ask her."
After saying that, Lu Ce's figure instantly transford into lightning, flashing through the streets. He looked left and right, then headed towards a purple shrinking zone.
The different zones were completely random, with no regard for city boundaries. By the end of the search, the distance between zones might be as far as several cities apart.
Once he chose this direction, it was basically set. Purple, hmm, it just so happened to match one of his masks that wasn't overloaded yet.
Beating up these people would serve as a pre-ga warm-up. However, for the selection ga... he still didn't know what the format would be.
If it was player versus player, he might have a hard ti finding a worthy opponent.
...
In another city nearby, the scene Xie Antong faced was even more severe.
After all, the city she was in wasn't a core city, so the Dragon Group's forces were relatively scattered. And she was the only top-tier player here.
But this suited her perfectly!
After the last round's Perfect Clearance and the top 100 ranking bonus reward, she had gained an extra skill exceptionally suited to her—Heaven's Net!
At this mont in the city, countless invisible strands of ntal energy converged into threads, weaving through the entire city. Hundreds of All-Seeing Eye clones were scattered everywhere, buzzing in the air.
Each All-Seeing Eye was a special node, acting as a link, connecting these threads of spiritual power to form a massive net enveloping the entire city!
And she was the Spider Queen at the center of this web. Every blade of grass, every tree, and everyone's actions were before her eyes, including those rampaging Apostles.
Or rather, prey.
In the dimly lit city, she slowly walked towards a figure struggling in mid-air, controlled by her threads, like a fly caught in a web.
Her flowing black hair billowed behind her. She had already entered the Pleasure state in advance to test this Heaven's Net skill, treating it as a rehearsal before the upcoming ga.
"I think I probably don't need to introduce myself."
A voice tinged with a bit of playful provocation rang out. Under the dim light, her expression was cast in an artistically dramatic interplay of light and shadow.
"Blank!? The leader of Divine Punishnt, why are you in this city?" The Apostle instantly recognized this rather famous woman and exclaid in shock. "You... aren't you one of the Apostles?"
"Hmm, good, you're the third person to say that today," Xie Antong laughed, feeling a bit strange inside. "If this rumor keeps spreading, won't it cause a trust crisis?"
"Since this matter concerns a certain soone, and I'm also in a bit of a hurry, my thods from now on might not be so gentle."
As she spoke, her fingers flicked lightly, and invisible threads began to weave through the other person's brain.
"Let see..."
Her brow furrowed. This ability, truly similar to "mind reading," also consud a significant amount of energy.
As she worked her technique, her expression gradually shifted from playful teasing to one of astonishnt.
"Huh?"
"It's actually soone stealing business."
"You actually managed to hit the mark by sheer luck back then!"
