"Hmm?"
Having spent a long ti with Xie Antong, Lu Ce's mind had grown a little restless. At a mont like this, soone else to divert his attention would be perfect.
But after glancing, he realized he didn't recognize the person speaking.
"Shui... Zhongyue? Is that a na, or his codena?"
"Is this a guy or a girl? Who is this? Sounds familiar, but I forgot..."
Lu Ce frowned and scratched his head, looking uncertainly at the gold-glowing na in front of him.
Anyone qualified to send this kind of pinned comnt would have to be a player who could join the god-player wager, which ant one of the world's top fifty.
Had he seen him before?
[Shui Zhongng: If this world is heading for an end, if humanity is destined for an unknown death,]
[Shui Zhongng: then shouldn't so unfinished business be settled?]
[Shui Zhongng: "Sin," no matter how it happened, you killed the chief of our Heaven and Earth Society, right? If we stay completely silent, won't that be too weak?]
[Shui Zhongng: Let's settle this, or at least give an explanation.]
Reading these pinned ssages, Lu Ce rembered that, before Divine Punishnt, the largest civilian organization had indeed been the Heaven and Earth Society.
And according to Sun, that group had existed for a long ti and had many followers.
Recalling Sun's personality, Lu Ce's mouth twitched. With a guy like that...
He probably never told anyone, "Whoever kills will be the next chief of the Heaven and Earth Society," right?
Only he would co up with such a bizarre way of choosing a successor. His followers might even be torn over whether they should avenge him.
"Also... I never wanted to be your useless leader, and you dumped this ss on without my consent..."
As he spoke, he took out the golden dal and looked it over in his hand.
"If you don't want it, give it to , let be their boss," the Black Knight said casually from the side.
"Here." Lu Ce handed the dal over without hesitation.
Black Knight: ...
"Better not. Those guys would flip out, a motorcycle gang leader..."
While Lu Ce and the Black Knight bantered, inside the ga things had already erupted again.
Seeing the Heaven and Earth Society situation, many assud war had been declared.
Right! "Sin" and the Heaven and Earth Society's leader had a mortal grudge, so the enemy of my enemy is my friend!
So...
For a ti, those surrender faction mbers, who had been like stray dogs after Divine Punishnt disbanded, all pounced like hyenas slling blood.
Each of them wanted to join the Heaven and Earth Society, thinking maybe it would be the group to surrender to the gods.
However, Shui Zhongng gave them no chance. He imdiately continued with pinned comnts:
[Shui Zhongng: Those spineless dogs, don't co near, you make sick!]
[Shui Zhongng: The world belongs to the Heaven and Earth Society! It does not belong to the gods. If you lack that resolve, we'll kill as many of you as co!]
At those words, the ga's chat area went silent. The desperate surrender faction suddenly rembered what the Heaven and Earth Society actually was.
Compared to Divine Punishnt's lax, almost non-existent managent, the Heaven and Earth Society, at first glance, felt cult-like.
Their slogans seed to indicate a desire to rule the world...
As the current Number Two of the Heaven and Earth Society, after silencing these schers, Shui Zhongng continued:
[Shui Zhongng: Are you watching? If possible, reply when you see this. I will await your ssage at any ti.]
[Shui Zhongng: Miss Blank, please pass this along, just tell her soone wants to avenge that arrogant fellow!]
At the end, he even ntioned Xie Antong.
Unexpectedly, although "Sin" had remained silent up to this point, the mont this ssage was sent, Blank responded.
[Blank: Fight! Fight!]
Lu Ce: ...
Seeing this spectator-like response, he was speechless. Using his privilege as the world's top player, he pinned a reply in the ga:
[Sin: Fine.]
[Sin: If anyone wants answers, et . Choose the ti and place.]
No emotional flourish, just plain words, yet everyone who read it felt a sudden, overwhelming murderous intent surge toward them.
That level of aura reflected the formidable reputation he had built in this world all this ti.
Shui Zhongng blinked, surprised that this person actually replied. He frowned slowly while staring at his screen.
The Heaven and Earth Society's entry principles were that the world belonged to the society, plus loyalty and a spirit of resistance.
Although Sun and his followers had little real attachnt, Sun was, in na at least, their chief. As the second-in-command, it would be odd if he didn't speak up.
Indeed, he had once played in the sa ga as Lu Ce when Lu Ce first used his Pride persona; now he was the weakest survivor left in the god-player wager.
—No.22, Shui Zhongng!
Even so players ranked ahead of him were dead; he had barely survived thanks to his ability traits.
The god he faced was Hatred.
Not a powerful god, roughly the level of Nightmare, but for him it was still an absolute mountain.
The way this divine power was absorbed was revenge!
With the dual aims of increasing his own strength and avenging his old leader, whom he had so bond with, today he deliberately sought out the mountain nad "Sin."
That reckless, mad leader had always been a lone wolf who only chased power, yet objectively he had sheltered people like them.
For him to die so mysteriously, without even soone demanding an explanation, was just too tragic.
[Shui Zhongng: Then noon tomorrow, see you at the Great Wall.]
Lu Ce was montarily stunned at the ti and place.
The Great Wall — if his mory wasn't wrong, this had been a node Nie Jiu Tian had once ntioned...
And noon, was that to commorate Sun? This guy was strangely sentintal, but who was he really?
After thinking for a while, Lu Ce replied simply:
[Sin: Mm.]
[Shui Zhongng: Good!]
[Blank: Fight! Fight! Match successful! Found a worthy opponent!]
