Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2588 Rom's Limitations

As expected of a veteran who has struggled for so long, he still maintains composure even at this moment.

Fu Qian certainly didn't think that Lord Rom's hearing had just happened to be impaired.

As a deity who actively engages with beings below them, it is impossible for them to be ignorant of human relationships and social customs.

Even from the front, the fact that it could think of using blind spots to launch a sneak attack proves that it not only knows the situation in this place very well, but also knows about its current state of supernatural insulation.

In short, regardless of whether he appears dull or not, Lord Rom is actually very clear-headed, and his self-talk is intentional.

As for the reason?

Why would someone who clearly wants to shake hands and make peace behave so rudely?

It's not surprising; always adopting a humble stance will never lead to peace.

The bargaining chips to avoid violence have already been included in what I said earlier—I pose no threat to you, killing me would be pointless, and might even dirty your hands…

Once these meanings are conveyed, anything else is superfluous, so why answer the question?

Everyone is always a cold-blooded, profit-driven individual, hoping to win a little goodwill through that method?

A person who's been through thick and thin wouldn't have such naive ideas.

On the contrary, such a stance would only undermine the credibility of those words.

So Lord Rom not only memorized the script in advance, but his strategy was also very clear: simply list the pros and cons, then pretend to be dead and do whatever you want.

For example, after saying the last sentence, there was no further movement, and he didn't even ask Fu Qian what he thought.

To be fair, if what was said above is true, this is indeed almost the optimal solution.

It's a pity, Mr. Rom seems to know quite a lot. If we could talk more, it would definitely be very beneficial to our various topics.

Empathy and a long sigh escaped his lips; Fu Qian couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

Once such a person makes up their mind, their resolve is as firm as iron, and it would be difficult to change their mind.

And this operating space is indeed rather fragile.

However, as a seasoned veteran, Fu Qian also knows the great taboo of going too far, and he has already gained a lot.

"If one's rank is not high enough, it is difficult to leave a mark"?
The last two sentences alone contain an astonishing amount of information, enough to prove that Lord Rom has a high level of understanding of the "Wisdom of Etching".

He not only knew the current state, but also how it came about, and then he knew why He had been drawn into it...

……

Upside-down lake and myself.

As analyzed earlier, these are the two core causes of the current Etching Intelligence, and they are almost mutually reinforcing.

As we've progressed to the fifth act, there have been some speculations about the various elements of power that have emerged within it.

For example, if the original owner had been here before, their history would have been mixed in, and when errors were generated, these errors would be incorporated into the story.

Rom's statement, to some extent, confirms this.

The appearance of elements in a proof fallacy does indeed need to follow certain rules and require the support of some source.

There are even certain requirements regarding the rank of the source; if it's too low, it's not eligible for selection.

In response to this, He had already devised a way to escape.

That is to actively lower one's own rank label, thereby being "eliminated" by the wisdom of etching.

It can only be said that the idea sounds relatively straightforward, and from the perspective of the payment process, it is not impossible to implement.

Don't forget that you and Master Yuhun have both done similar things.

Through this, Rom once again demonstrated his mastery of the Reversed Lake, a method that even the Blaziken hadn't considered.

In the third act, the latter seemed to have been dragged into the situation, and his only thought was to go into hiding, and when he could no longer conceal himself, he resorted to violence, brutally destroying the place. But if this is true, then there seems to be a contradiction: what about those researchers who appear to be only mid-level researchers?

They are pitifully weak by comparison, so why are they still able to appear? — Because they are already part of the Upside-Down Lake.

Almost as soon as he asked the question, Fu Qian had already thought of possible explanations.

Whales have already swum into the laboratory; how much ability can these unrestrained ancient sages possibly have to remain unaffected?
The power of the Upside-Down Lake has likely already altered their very nature.

In other places, the wisdom of etching has no restrictions on rank, and the special properties here can also be considered as the influence of the Inverted Lake.

In conclusion, Lord Rom's statement was somewhat credible, and he even shared some valuable information.

"I see, I understand."

At one point, he sighed again and really didn't ask any further questions.

He even put away the script in his hand, not in a hurry to study what to write on it—oh?

Even the moment the tacit understanding was reached and "peace" arrived, Lord Röhm seemed to prove His words once again.

It was far more efficient than it sounded; that body, which had "endless descendants," had been eroded away by wind and sand, disappearing little by little from its original spot.

What followed was a strange vibration that even Fu Qian, who lacked supernatural perception, could feel.

Everything becomes unstable here. All you have to do is stand still and you can get away easily—click!

Instead of staying in place, Fu Qian leaped out at almost maximum speed and landed on the lake.

Of course, even if it wasn't real water, it wouldn't make such an excessively crisp sound.

The sound actually came from the spot where we were standing.

Without any warning, a string of crystal-clear red crystals appeared out of thin air.

It is as if spacetime is suddenly injured, even to the point of bleeding.

Its ferocious and menacing appearance instantly evokes the destructive storm above a whale's head.

Most importantly, this red blade struck precisely where Fu Qian had been standing.

If I hadn't jumped down, and had been even a fraction of a second slower, it's hard to imagine what would have happened next.

But how could it be a moment slower?

Hey……

Looking up at a 45-degree angle, I let out my third sigh at that moment.

"I've said I need to think things through more."

……

Serpent of Fate is not lying; everyone has insurmountable limitations.

Specifically regarding Lord Rom, the summary is that even at the last moment, he was still thinking about underhanded tactics, completely detached from any open or aboveboard strategies.

Yes, the performance may have been brilliant, but how could Fu Qian possibly believe that the other party would have such a win-win situation?

The three steps, one after the other, progressed so naturally—

First, feign ignorance and launch a surprise attack.

If a sneak attack fails, try reasoning with them.

Then, what appears to be a logical and well-founded argument is actually intended to lull the opponent into a false sense of security, and the fatal blow will soon arrive under cover.

Seniority often equates to stubbornness, and His Excellency Rom has never been able to surpass himself.

Even though this final ultimate move clearly relies on a cast time, its power is astonishing.
