As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 643 Prelude to Dusk
There is a number above Li Nuo's head: 653.

It symbolizes how many opponents he has defeated (killed). Less than ten minutes have passed since the start of the game. Using Cuihua's large-scale burning and the weapon box's modified cannon is more than enough to deal with this group of guys.

"In theory, I will definitely be the winner of the Sky Arena."

He stood on a hill of corpses, looking at a guy covered in high-tech steel frame walking towards him.

“Too confident.”

The other person's name was "Magrist". After seeing Li Nuo, he knelt on one knee.

"I pledge my loyalty to the 'Emperor'. Please grant me infinite power, and I will return my ambition to fight for the Emperor."

Golden light surrounded Magrist.

The rune chip in his brain emitted electricity, and the network's transmitter connected to the tracks of the player's train, sending messages to the White City thousands of years ago.

The 891th year of the mainland calendar.

The emperor looked at the statue made by Chen Chuang and a group of players, squinted his eyes and made a helpless expression: "Actually, I am a materialist."

Chen Chuang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Boss, I can only do this much to meet your request. Besides, it really works. People in the future will regard you as a god. Look, the guidance of blessing has appeared again."

The players' train did not transport players. Initially, the train was damaged by the "Dung Sea Maggots" and was being repaired. Now, it has been turned into a guiding symbol for transmitting energy by a group of players including Chen Chuang.

After the train's doors opened, the souls from the future who had asked the emperor for blessings walked out of the car, and then turned into solid spheres when they entered the player area, waiting for blessings.

Anmi's attitude towards believers is compassion.

He would give them everything for free.

If he were a real emperor, perhaps he would become a master who loves his people.

"For players, this blessing is of no benefit at all."

An Mi blamed Chen Chuang a little, but it was good enough to be able to achieve this point.

"With the blessing, we can drive the [Behelet] that connects to the future, and then you will have a chance to find Brupu and the others."

It was Mana who spoke.

The woman who had chased after Brup with the hammer.

"Yes, it's not bad. If Chen Chuang has excellent combat ability, I would suggest that he join Mr. [Scholar]'s team."

Old man Sethman said, sticking out his long tongue.

“Forget it…” Chen Chuang was glad that he was a weakling in combat. The people under the [Scholar] were a bunch of fighting maniacs, so he still preferred to live in seclusion.

An Mi stood there, without moving.

Elifa sat far away next to a broken statue and touched the frame of his glasses: "Found it?"

"found it."

An Mi has blessed this group of spheres dozens of times, and each blessing only consumes some magic power. This is the first time he has seen a strange blessing appear.

He could sense that the opponent the praying man was facing was a monster with vast flames.

"Li Nuo?"

"time?"

"The future, 1999."

An Mi reached his hand into the sphere, and the sphere composed of countless human souls expanded. A large number of human faces squeezed out from it. Magrist's soul was caught. An Mi pinched his soul-like neck, and his black eyes locked on Magrist's confused eyes.

Those eyes, piercing through a thousand years.

"We'll meet soon."

"We're meeting soon?"

Li Nuo jumped off the ground and looked up at Magrist who had a strange look in his eyes. This guy's eyes turned as black as ink in an instant.

"Anya?"

Magrist drove the saw blade tied to the motor and rushed over, with golden spots all over his body. He changed into the awakening posture of a demon, with fangs piercing his cheeks and his pupils turning golden.

boom!
Gun counterattack.

Magrist fell backwards unbalanced.

Li Nuo instantly held his face and gave him a flame that could burn his soul.

In the network area where Nanami was, she saw with her own eyes a fire appearing in the distance. The blue fire was heading towards a direction where a train was suspected to be.

"it is this?"

She immediately rushed over, not caring to clean up her antivirus software.

Canghuo was taken to the past by the train.

The praying soul of Magriste that Anmi held was wrapped in blue flames.

The fire that symbolizes demon hunting and the cold light that represents clearing chaos can only come from one person.

"Haha." Blue light reflected from Elifa's glasses. She covered her stomach and laughed crazily, "Hahahaha! Found it, Anmi! Found it!"

"Chen Chuang, lock on 1999 and set the prayer time for [Behelet] there."

Anmi said.

"The Twelve Devils of the Sky Tower and all subordinate branches, get ready. The next time [Behelet] is activated, all members will go into battle."

The emperor raised his chin calmly.

Behind him was a team of thirty-six people and a huge group of players.

Among the ten top players of the organization, only Schiller, An Mi's only "friend", chose not to participate in the battle.

Because Schiller thought that [scholars] should die.

But this does not prevent the "Twelve Evils of Tianlou" from going out on a large scale for the first time since the Demon God.

……

Back on the field.

Cha Bai organized the teachings of "Soul of Steel" and narrated them again.

Milo Milo: "Sister, is your church still short of people?"

Cha Bai held a bag of precious metals in his hand, and while counting the quantity, he said, "If you are short of them, you can join us for free, and..."

"Wait! Something happened on the field!" Milo Milo returned to the host position very professionally: "Let's see, this...Oh, my God!"

Cha Bai: You also have a "God"?
In the broadcast, Magrist was pinned to the ground by Lino and burned into charcoal. Although it was advertised as an online competition, it was actually a real death and hacking.

A voice came from the judges' booth.

"Magrist was a former war hero, right?"

"Girl, what's going on with your church?"

"You guys have never been here before."

"Who the hell are you?"

Cha Bai felt a strange force invading her brain. Someone wanted to use the skill of prying into minds, so she simply let the other party invade and try. If those guys could break the domain of the "NieR" electronic brain, they would be terrifying.

The electronic brain of an "engineer" hiding in the distance exploded.

Her last words were: "Why is there a bullet hell shooting game inside her electronic brain..."

[Anti-invasion has been successful]

A barely visible red light appeared in Chabai's eyes.

The anti-intrusion system developed by Maljie is, in his words, "Star-sucking Magic".

【Worldview Analysis】

[In front of you are representatives of four faiths. They are actually businessmen, a group of profit-seeking bastards.]

[This metropolis is a trade center and one of the birthplaces of religion]

[Whether human or descendants of dragon, everyone is too greedy, using theology and technology to control the people, and are afraid that one day God's punishment will really come, so the essence of the Sky Arena is to select true warriors of faith. The strong who win will have the hope of holding the legendary "Blade of the Hunting Goddess"]

[There is also a war weapon that they have been supporting in the online world]

[There is a great prophecy in this world]

【1999, Ragnarok】

Cha Bai: "Everyone is asking who we are. Wouldn't it be rude not to show our faces?"

Her voice was very serious.

Miro Miro was stunned. The sudden change of expression of the lady who was performing crosstalk with him caught him off guard.

The other party said, "There are thousands of religions in this world, big and small. The number of churches representing the four major faiths covers more than 80% of them. Most of the small churches are cult lunatics or money-swindling organizations. There are only two of you, and we thought you were just another idiot who wanted to enter the entertainment industry."

Cha Bai: "Too tasteless."

The other party: "No... we just didn't understand it."

Cha Bai: "What I mean is that you dare not show your face and try to change the subject. There is really no need to continue talking to you."

Opposite: "We need to maintain our mystery, that's all."

The broadcast signal has been cut off.

After learning the Morse code, the Smiling Brothel owner was left outside. As a harmless old lady, she integrated into the environment and was able to contact Li Nuo at any time.

In an Internet cafe, the scene just now was uploaded to the "dark web" by a smiling pimp. Although it will still be blocked, someone will soon crack the source code and let the world see all the contents of the above conversation. Maybe it is useless, but in case it is useful.

Among the people opposite, a phantom gradually turned into a solid entity. It looked more like a mechanical head, the main brain of the robot.

"I am a robot..."

"Your master is my friend, so stop talking nonsense to me." Cha Bai interrupted it and said, "Just continue broadcasting. I don't want to chat with you."

Cha Bai only revealed a little bit of his magic power, and the four cowards on the opposite side who dared not show their faces felt the fear spreading.

The prophecy of "Twilight of the Gods" in 1999 hit their electronic brains called fantasies like a meteorite.

Miro-Miro tried to smooth things over: "Ah, look, the signal is back. Hahahaha, I lost the signal just now, damn it, hahaha!"

As the broadcast signal returned, Cha Bai said, "Those who believe in me will gain great power, that's all, just like the priest who believed in me."

When everyone was stunned, Cha Bai said, "Priest, please stop wasting time."

The voice just fell.

Cuihua's big explosion lit up the stadium.

The number of contestants dwindled as fast as a waterfall flowing down.

Only twenty seconds had passed.

The number of contestants was reduced from more than a thousand to less than thirty.

Li Nuo was not the only one who started this.

The girl holding a longbow was carrying a big sword that did not fit her body shape, her ponytail swaying in the wind. She stood in a corner, looking into the distance and staring at Li Nuo. The moment her eyes met his, a memory came to her mind.

That was a long, long time ago.

Maybe thousands of years have passed.

There is an arena, and the place where the arena is located is called "Cairo World", but a duel without a result determines the fate of this world.

After that battle, the priest brought his MLM group in here, and the fate of the Fire Keeper began. The demon king from ten thousand years ago was resurrected, the knight of God became a true emperor and became a belief, and the ponytail girl who wanted to be a woman turned into a piece of shit.

"It seems like everything has nothing to do with me...but it also seems like everything has something to do with me..."

Xiao Wu took a deep breath. She planned to have another drink to commemorate the battle that had not ended in her memory.

"How about a showdown?"

Xiao Wu said to Li Nuo from a distance.

Although the voice was very small, Li Nuo could feel the strong determination to end the fate of the previous battle.

The number of contestants suddenly decreased, and the organizers had no choice but to return the stage to the Sky Arena.

The center of the stage, where all the contestants who are still alive are.

Only two figures do not belong to any mainstream belief.

Milo-Milo: "Next...haha, since there are only so many winners, we are going to start the competition mode of the quarterfinals. The competition venue is in this sky arena closest to the gods! You...you guys..."

He couldn't continue, because Li Nuo and Xiao Wu standing in the venue exuded a power that did not belong to this world. The fighting spirit seemed to be distorting the air, and a big hand seemed to pinch the moonlight, bringing the oppression of death to the final battle on the stage.

It doesn't matter who wins the championship.

"You've made yourself stupid, and you have to fight me?"

Li Nuo threw away his walking stick, placed it horizontally in front of his body, pressed his back down, and his spine made a sound of dislocated bones. This action indicated that he was facing a strong enemy.

Xiao Wu frowned slightly: "I always feel that there is an evil fate between us. Either you are a scumbag who abandoned me, or you used to be my enemy."

Li Nuo: "You're overthinking it... I just bully you all the time..."

Xiao Wu: "Then you deserve to die even more."

The host Miro Miro wanted to speak: "This... is due to some objective factors..."

boom--!
Xiao Wu's speed in drawing the bow and shooting the arrow was faster than before. One arrow directly pierced through the stage. Li Nuo stepped on the trace left by the long arrow and rushed forward.

No one could see what happened next, as the stage of the Sky Arena was shattered into a large hole.

The two fell from the pit, surrounded by fragments of an electronic network repairing the environment.

The reason why the stage is set above the clouds is because above are the rules set by [Scholars], who cannot let the world go beyond the rules of the planet. They believe that the sky must be where the gods are, so they set up a screening site here for the holders of the [Blade of the Hunting Goddess] who are said to be able to defeat the gods.

As a ripple spread out, the clouds were shaken apart.

In the hollow sea of ​​clouds, Xiao Wu fell rapidly. She pulled the bowstring in the sky and aimed the magic arrow at Li Nuo below. The moment she let go, the scattered magic arrows collided with the [Seal of Albers] in front of Li Nuo, and the broken shield fell to the "mortal world" like falling snow.

Little do people know that the true form of the god in their minds has actually arrived here.

Li Nuo grabbed Cuihua's free fall and stepped on the asphalt road.

When he raised his head, long dragon-hunting arrows rushed towards him and smashed the entire ground!

“Stronger than before…”

While Li Nuo was complaining in his heart, he had already used [Super Speed] to get close to Xiao Wu. He swung the flaming whip blade that was burning with cold light and smashed it over. The roof of the building where Xiao Wu was was blown open. This battle made Dr. Haru, who was hiding in the building, tremble as he watched.

"What's going on... Two humans are fighting like war machines..."

Dr. Haru has been manipulating Xiao Wu, and he actually has no idea how outrageous this woman is.

He remembered that Xiao Wu was a piece of shit that Jialilu found, and he used the "Great Sword" warrior revival technology to extract genes from it and resurrected it... a cyborg?

Now he is no longer sure whether it is a cyborg.

The computer screen behind me kept flashing.

The battle in the "Sky Arena" was directed to the topic of what happened to the succubus warriors.

Cha Bai got the result she wanted, the belief in the side quest is on the rise, and many lawless elements who are paying attention to the "Sky Arena" are falling in love with the power of the succubus, and everyone really thinks that believing in the succubus can make them stronger.

Bullshit!

Haru doesn't believe it!

"What happened..."

He kept knocking on Xiao Wu's connector, trying to stop the girl from messing around. Then an arrow came from a distance and shot Dr. Haru through.

Xiao Wu hates others interrupting her fights.

Li Nuo had already erupted his [Ether Blood] and started to use the decoction. He kicked Xiao Wu in the face at a speed that was unseen by the naked eye.

"You bastard!" Xiao Wu crawled out of the ruins: "I don't know why, I can't help but want to kill you when I see you!"

"Asshole? Then I'll be even more of an asshole." Li Nuo showed a nasty smile, pointed at her and said, "You are already seeking death."

Xiao Wu's heartbeat paused, she clenched her teeth, took a deep breath, her eyes glowed red, and the hunter energy from the Monster Hunter world was activated: "You already have the means to die!"

And at this time.

Cha Bai finally saw the reward from the photo handed to him by the host.

"Is this the reward for second place?"

Miro-Miro and several staff members were nearby: "Yes... Please ask your followers to stop fighting."

If the fighting continues... the commercial street will be gone.

"Just give me the real thing and I'll make him stop." Cha Bai used blackmail. She smiled and tilted her head: "I can send another worse one (Maljie)."

Succubi are creatures that use appearance and language to distort one's will, including but not necessarily including blackmail, fraud, and kidnapping.

The hardest stone in the world

[Quality: Epic]

【Effect: Hard】

[Brief description: This stone is made of materials from nearly 20,000 years ago. The inventor did not know the magic factor from the "Goddess of Nature". This thing is too hard, so it is considered useless. It would be fine if it could be a little bigger, but now it is only slightly bigger than gravel, so it is regarded as "useful waste", but it is really hard, hard enough to penetrate everything.]

Cha Bai rubbed the stone, which was not much bigger than sand, with his fingertips.

She was satisfied because there was finally hope of breaking the hero's sword and finally a chance to make Li Nuo a real hero.

She liked Li Nuo and everything about him, but she was afraid that this guy would turn into a monster one day.

Warrior of Light, not enough.

At least it has to be Dragon Quest.

Cha Bai: "I'll find a time to let him leave."

The organizers on the other side shouted, "Stop! What a mess! If the fighting continues, the army will come, and we can't take the responsibility!"

Cha Bai: "But my faith value is not high enough."

If there is a brave man, he should kill the succubus first.

……

Jialilu held the mobile phone and looked at the popular science about "Succubus" on the screen, with a raised eyebrow as if saying "What the hell?"
"grown ups."

The werewolf-looking guard called out to him.

"Don't you care about those people who broke into the [Shrine]?"

"Oh, no."

"Dr. Haru was killed by that Xiao Wu you sent."

"Haru is from Cairo, he can't die."

"What about Xiao Wu?"

“She’s performing her role.”

Jialilu put down his cell phone and looked at the guards standing in front of him. He sat on the luxurious soft sofa, which was deeply sunken and could only accommodate him. Jialilu raised his chin with a half smile.

"That flat-chested girl got on the Internet, didn't she?"

"Yes sir, Xiao Wu's temporary code anomaly helped her enter the network area."

"Then we can take action."

Jialilu picked up the teacup on the table, which contained his last cup of black tea.

"Gentlemen, there are only four characters in history who can be called protagonists: the man holding the silver cane, the blindfolded woman, and me... there is one more person who has not arrived yet."

The female warrior in military uniform, carrying a large sword, nodded: "The 'Emperor'."

"Then give him a chance and bring him here."

The big screen behind Jialilu lit up, and the army stationed all over the world, this group of steel beasts were distributed on the screen, their artillery fire was their fangs, their will was their claws, and their prey was everything they saw.

“History has taught me one thing: whether you grow or fall, whether you resist or obey, in the long river of destiny, you are just a grain of sand, fleeting.”

Jialilu put the teacup in his hand.

"The only thing that can allow us to bring some changes to history is war."

He raised the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, toasting to the Elf Queen from ten thousand years ago.
