Looking at that suddenly increased progress, which actually appeared to be close to one-third, Nie Jiu Tian initially doubted if he was seeing things.
Just monts ago, he was thinking, how many people in this world would dare to actively choose this progress bar!?
And now it's already reached one-third?
He knew that when he checked earlier, he seed to be ineligible to select this option, presumably it had to be players who had participated in this generation of the Ga.
Did many people imdiately choose it?
No, currently there's only one!
In the eyes of the whole world, it seed that at so unknown distance ahead of him, a brilliant pillar of light shot into the sky, like a sharp sword thrust into this land.
And beside the second progress bar, a na abruptly appeared.
The strokes were sharp and solemn, as if when it was engraved here, it was written with bone-deep hatred.
—Sin!
That's right, the first person to choose the second progress bar was, of course, Lu Ce. In his view, this didn't require much thought.
Being able to directly gamble with the gods in the form of a ga—isn't this an opportunity?!
He was very clear about his current strength; confronting the gods through force was completely impossible.
So gambling in the form of a ga was precisely the best opportunity at this stage, even the only opportunity!
They say the wager is the players' lives—nonsense! In which previous ga, if he lost, would the Ga have let him live?
Thinking that he could finally, to so extent, confront those existences on the sa level, Lu Ce wearing the Seven Deadly Sins mask felt a thrilling tremor of excitent.
"Who designed this..."
"It must be you, Arbitrator, hehehe... you wouldn't really be?..."
In the deserted room, Lu Ce's eerie voice murmured there, talking to himself.
He didn't turn on the lights either; if outsiders saw this, they'd probably think the place was haunted.
"Hey, buddy, if you've got nothing to do usually, maybe you shouldn't wear that mask..."
Black Knight couldn't help but complain in the room.
"Being with you, I even feel the temperature dropping a bit now. Don't freeze my fuel tank later."
...
On the other side, looking at the unquestionable "Sin," Nie Jiu Tian suddenly felt a turn of events.
One person accounts for one-third?!
That didn't seem so hard to accept after all.
Just then, a screen in front of him lit up. Following the light, he saw it was a communication thod from a mber of the Council of Elders.
"Old man!" Xu Long's rough voice ca from the screen, the noise almost comparable to Zhang Fei's.
"I found out, I seem to be able to vote on that blocking progress bar!"
Clearly, since the last veteran player return match ended, Xu Long had been continuously participating in the Ga and maintained an all-win record.
"I know many of you probably don't have this qualification. It's a rare opportunity—should I join?"
Nie Jiu Tian: ...
He hadn't thought too much about it before, but now considering it, this thing was basically suicide!
"Sin" might still create so miracles, but Xu Long? His current strength among the current ranked players barely puts him in the top ten.
"Alright, I'm just letting you know, I'm joining."
After saying this, Nie Jiu Tian was stunned. Looking up, he saw the na "Xu Long" had already appeared on the progress bar.
"You... probably haven't recovered your past mories yet..."
Nie Jiu Tian said heavily.
These veteran players from the previous generation of the Ga were all people who had experienced despair, whose confidence and fighting spirit had been completely shattered.
But Xu Long imdiately interrupted him.
"Haha! Old man, if in those past mories, I was a coward who got knocked down, then what's the point of rembering them?"
"I'll just treat that as my past life! That's it!"
"Damn it! Why did the progress bar move so little after I clicked? Looking down on , huh?"
After saying this, his screen directly went dark.
Only then did Nie Jiu Tian notice that after "Sin" made his choice, the progress bar directly jumped forward by one-third, but Xu Long... his progress seed like it didn't move at all!
It seed this progress bar wasn't equal for everyone; it likely quantified strength, ranking, influence, and a series of other factors.
The previous joy cooled down a few degrees. He didn't know how many people were willing to be that barrier standing before the iron tread of the "Ga."
Nor how many were just temporarily drinking poison to quench thirst, rely offering themselves as cannon fodder.
One after another, nas began to appear around the progress bar again.
—Blank!
After seeing that not-unexpected na, she acted without the slightest hesitation.
—Chiyo Eine!
Standing before Chiyo Ming's tightly shut door, no one knew exactly what she was thinking.
Behind the door, Chiyo Ming's eyes were dazed, yet she made no move to stop this outstanding descendant of hers. She seed to be reminiscing about past mories.
"Here it cos again?..."
...
anwhile, in a house surrounded by Dragon Group's operational mbers, distorted heat waves were currently spreading.
Even in external air temperature asurents, the temperature here had reached a terrifying fifty degrees Celsius!
Inside the room, the camp bed beneath Sun was already on fire. He lay on the scorching tal fra, eyes wide with fury, desperately trying to lift one hand.
Before the last ga, he had just devoured [Judgnt]; during the ga, he also swallowed [Slaughter]'s power and opened full-map taunts.
His body was being ravaged and tornted by terrifying energy, unable to move, unable to touch the option for the progress bar before him.
Sun: ?
"Damn your ancestors, not letting choose, huh..."
"I want to gamble!"
Squeezing out surging rage through gritted teeth, Sun was speechless. What did it an by not letting him choose?!
Suddenly erupting, a ring of fire burst out with him as the center, shaking the surrounding walls until they cracked, violently impacting the crowd outside.
Then, among the opponents in the sky, Sun's na prominently appeared. That na also visibly advanced the progress bar a notch.
Having regained his mobility, Sun flipped over, first extinguishing the fire, then directly spending a large sum of his ranking points in the Ga's public communication channel to buy a voice pack.
"Damn it!"
"This thing must be chosen! There's no other possibility. This world is our stake in the gamble against the gods!"
