As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 743 Resurrection
A blood-red void slowly rotated in the sky.

The Void is a special portal used to transport life and souls. Inside the portal is the subspace, and outside the subspace is Basel, the "Endless Corridor".

At this moment, on Basel's territory.

The cardinal in charge of religion in the Basel region is using a church treasure to connect the continent where Tia is located.

Both the bishop and the believers had their minds controlled.

Schwarel stood beside the bishop, stroking his chin, his eyebrows slightly raised.

He looked back.

Standing outside the church is the president of the "Anti-Science League".

To the players, all they could see was their administrator, a humanoid creature composed of countless black spots.

Schaffarel laughed and said, "Realized that your king has disappeared?"

The president lowered his head, his eyes filled with unease and anger.

Schwarel: "It's alright. I will gradually let the people of the past replace you, and you will all become 'sinners' and be exiled to various worlds. As for now, please be quiet..."

The president of the "Anti-Science Alliance" was a dog, and she was surprised when she heard this.

king……

Replaced...

Schwarel: "Can you hear me... As expected... Although I've returned to my position as an administrator, this isn't my territory after all, and the rules still need to adapt to me... Hahahaha! One of the leaders of 'Endless' is actually a dog! A dog!"

He laughed maniacally: "Join me in mocking her, quick, quick, quick!"

The cardinal and the parishioners joined in the mechanical mockery of the president, but the laughter gradually became more lively. They began to laugh and then to cry, and all of Basel laughed and wept over Basel's past.

The instigator was Schaffarel.

He has modified what the king has set, and he is modifying even more.

Schaffarel took a bone from his robe and threw it out.

"Chase it! Chase it! Go f***ing chase the bone! Aaaaaah! Hahaha, go on!"

The president of the Anti-Science Alliance instinctively reached for the item, but immediately snapped back, gritting his teeth as he looked back. He saw countless black souls lingering around the judge. This area was being eroded by dense darkness. These souls were players who had been wandering the border prison and were already dead.

The dog leader ran downstairs anxiously.

She had to find Lillian; only by joining forces could they deal with the impending danger.

However, "Bahamut's Wrath" has disappeared.

In its place was the "Circus Association," which had long been eliminated.

But the people sitting here weren't circus association members either. One by one, unfamiliar faces looked at the president with blank, mechanical expressions.

The dog president's brain seemed to have been hit so hard that he fainted for a moment, and then he flew away from there.

With Sauron's death, the upheaval in the Endless Corridor has just begun.

The judge, though not present, saw everything.

"The returning soul..."

"The dead past..."

"Tia, you're the only one left."

The believers laughed with him, and all the indigenous people of Basel laughed with him. They didn't know what they were laughing at; perhaps they were laughing at the memories of death.

……

Tanggula Mountains.

Twisted figures were visible in the clouds, the thousands of players who should have died in the "Corridor of Redemption" were struggling to break free, their souls serving as vessels.

Tia stared at that spot, her throat bobbing.

Master Wang walked up to her and asked, "Master... these things are aimed at you, aren't they?"

Tia remained silent.

Marjee said from a short distance away, "Because of Sauron."

"Soren?" Master Wang asked, puzzled.

Marger: "Hmph... As long as Sauron is dead, he won't become the judge's puppet. You're right. But it's not that simple. Everything in this world has a double-edged sword."

As a tool for the judge's resurrection, it was abandoned and then experienced a reversal of fortune.

They cannot be kept.

But it's impossible to prevent.

The best way to check Li Nuo is to find someone who understands him, or someone who overlaps with him in every way. This is where the name Soren comes in.

Since Soren committed suicide, nothing related to Lino can remain.

Even if it's risky, we have to try.

The above represents Marger's opinion.

Tia, however, felt that there was more to it than that.

"That guy, Schwarrel, wants to kill me."

She said something that Wang Li couldn't understand.

This world has become a "border prison" level of strength because Tia once opened the gates of the border prison here.

“Judge…Shufarrell.”

Tia's eyes were deep.

She already knew the crux of the problem: the judge had contacted her before and left a way to enter this world at any time, but as the administrator, the judge couldn't come over, so the person who came had to be a trusted confidant of that guy.

As for the reason for coming...

Eliminate all people and things related to Li Nuo.

Kill the only remaining remnant of "Redemption".

Both of these tasks were urgent and had to be completed after Sauron's death.

If this reason must be given, Tia believes that if she dies here, it will make the resurrection of Li Nuo and the others a completely unsolvable situation.

Tia found it increasingly amusing.

She even covered her mouth, lowered her head, and burst out laughing. After laughing for a while, under the strange gazes of everyone, she waved to the sky and tried her best to suppress her smile.

"In Schwarzel's eyes, you are a bunch of trash who are not even worth as much as Sauron Lee combined!"

Tia's voice wasn't loud, but it could easily travel thousands of meters into the air.

The man, as robust as a rock, is named "Zang Si," a former player of the "Redemption Corridor," whose soul was reshaped and reborn after the judge returned to his position.

He and Tia were old acquaintances.

From the "Redemption Corridor", above level 99, with somewhat mediocre talent, but extremely strong survival ability, so it appeared first to destroy the protective layer that Tia created for this planet.

Tia...

Zang Si reminisces about this woman.

He was one of the best players back then. He still remembered the scene of Tia and that group of geniuses besieging Karl. It seemed like only a few minutes had passed, but in reality, more than a thousand years had passed.

So he wasn't angry at all when his old "friends" mocked him.

Zang Si was pleasantly surprised to see Tia's panel clearly.

The Goddess of the Tanggula Mountains

Danger Level: SS+

[Potential weakness: The deity who controls the "core of the world" opened the gates of the border prison five hundred years ago. Since then, she has been using her magic to maintain the planet's outer layer, preventing it from being destroyed by the energy of the border prison. This has consumed a great deal of her power. If the planet's protective layer is destroyed...]

"Tia!"

Zang Si shouted to his old friend.

"The judge resurrected us using the bodies of those 'Endless' guys. It wasn't his idea to bring us here! It was our decision!"

This creature cracked open its white teeth, and its voice was like sound waves crashing against the earth. The Tanggula Mountains shook violently, as if the earth's veins were being gripped and shaken by a giant hand.

Each administrator possesses unique abilities specifically designed for the player. The Demon God is above all gods, controlling the distribution of power. The King is infinitely powerful and unchallengeable. The Judge represents the one who corrects the law; his laws are all contracts, which players sign with by using their souls as collateral.

These resurrected or soon-to-be-resurrected beings are all lives that the judge pulled back from hell.

All you need are some containers.

Those containers belonged to the hundreds of "Circus Association" players killed by Lillian.

"Still so foolish."

Tia couldn't suppress the urge to laugh mockingly. The twisted souls above the clouds were all players who hadn't fully resurrected. Zang Si was controlling all of this, and this power didn't belong to him, which meant that the Judge was manipulating things behind the scenes.

There is no room for negotiation.

What is about to begin is a war of life and death.

"Wang Li, and Lord Evil God, listen up."

Tia's voice was gentle.

“My wardrobe is a portal that connects to the subspace, from which I can escape.”

"I do not go."

Master Wang drew the Xuanyuan Sword from his back.

"I have nowhere to go."

"Where is the evil god?"

"Humph."

Marger gestured to the throng of believers gathered together.

"How can I leave with this in mind?"

Suddenly, a meteor shower of fire fell from the sky.

boom--!
A meteorite, like divine punishment, struck the planet's surface, throwing the land's magical energy into disarray.

The clouds churned, and twisted shadows writhed within them, as if countless struggling evil spirits had finally broken free of their restraints. They had become players from a thousand years ago, laughing and shouting as they swooped down to the ground!

Zang Si sat on a cloud, slid open his chest, and took out a communicator.

"The protective layers set up by Tia have all been destroyed, and the players have respawned. Let's make our move."

now.

Tia could sense strange and extremely powerful life forms appearing all over the world.

These familiar yet unfamiliar forces made her realize that the old acquaintances who had come to "redeem" her had arrived.

At that moment, several resurrected players fell from the sky, their equipment returned, and they aimed their weapons at the black dot-like Tia. Just as they were about to make their move, a longsword slashed past, leaving a trail of light.

Blood and flesh rained down.

Master Wang retrieved the Xuanyuan Sword, stepped on it, and flew into the air.

They rushed straight to the hidden place.

"Tia is my teacher, don't even think about touching her!"

A sword thrust out, piercing the air!

Zang Si's chest was ripped open, and several hands reached out from his body to close the wound. Huge wings made of hands grew from his back, and he soared into the sky, pulling a bone spear from his mouth.

"What an amazing Taoist priest!"

Zang Si was somewhat surprised to see the data on Master Wang's panel.

Master Wang is a top-five player in the entire "Endless Corridor"; he just can't beat the Cairo aliens.

The two clashed in mid-air, their weapons sparking as they collided.

After a few muffled thuds, Master Wang was kicked into the clouds. He held a sword in one hand and Zang Si's severed arm in the other, and stopped abruptly in mid-air.

Between players above level 99, the battle either ends quickly or becomes a protracted one. Wang Daozhang and Zang Si were evenly matched, and it was impossible to determine a winner for the time being.

Just as Master Wang was pondering how to end the battle quickly, he glanced at the ground and froze instantly.

Thick, dark red liquid seeped from the cracks in the ground, resembling congealed blood.

Zang Si charged in from a distance, knocking the stunned Taoist Wang away, and together they glided through the air, their swords clashing against each other.

“What have you done!”

"The Critical Ones can calculate it themselves, right?"

"I'm asking you a question!" Zang Si laughed wildly, gritting his white teeth.

"A great gift for Tia: the Human Instrumentality Project!"

Master Wang was furious.

"I'll fuck your mother!"

……

"That guy Wang Li..."

Tia watched the Taoist priest glide through the air and sighed helplessly.

"Of the guys that Cang Si brought, only two are above level 99. The rest are guys that Karl killed in Basel. Their level should be similar to yours."

She was talking to Marger.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the truly powerful members of 'Redemption' should have been resurrected in Basel."

"So what's the point of you saying this?"

Marger sat on the ground, his body a spirit, unable to intervene in the current situation.

"The significance... it's not really a significance. It's just to tell you that this world might be doomed. I have to clean up the mess and rebuild the world order. Zang Si and the others probably have two important purposes for appearing. It would be best if they killed me, so that they could solve a big problem related to Li Nuo. Even if they didn't kill me, as long as they destroyed the planet's protective layer, it would indirectly destroy my power."

As the "god" of this world, Tia holds the [world's core] and is connected to the life of the planet.

Far away.

Enormous energy crosses rose up, and something was planted beneath the surface, causing some kind of special force to attack the planet.

She took out her phone, and the screen displayed a message Phil had sent not long ago.

"There's a strange meteorite crater in the mountains on the other side of the planet. That thing is actually what opens the portal."

“I have an old friend named Rafini. She’s a woman who has taken the [Luring Skull] to its extreme and turned it into her own ability. She only needs the space of the Borderlands Prison to attract seeds of 'destruction' to any world. If nothing unexpected happens, Phil is currently being harassed by that woman.”

"If nothing unexpected happens... the impending collapse of this world is that woman's doing."

“They are all veteran players of ‘Redemption’, and they should all be the guys who were killed by Karl back then.”

Tia had calmed down.

Rafini was responsible for planting the genes of destruction.

Zang Si is responsible for drawing out the souls of those "redemption" players who are still wandering in the border prison.

The mastermind behind it all is the judge.

There is more than one goal; there are many. Regardless of the answer, the outcome will not be good for Tia and Marger.

Players are now present all around Tanggula Mountain.

The followers of the Steel Soul descended the mountain to hunt.

A small number of cultists escaped through the wardrobe in Tia's house; they would leave signals about the evil god in other worlds so that Marger wouldn't die like this.

While Tia and Marge were talking about these things, some powerful figures appeared.

Those people are more powerful than the Soul of Steel.

The group of people lingered nearby, as if they were wild beasts ravenously eyeing flesh and blood.

Marger calmly voiced his doubts.

"Isn't what they're doing against the rules?"

“This is the territory of the ‘Endless Corridor’. Their large-scale expedition can be seen as a ‘real-life scenario.’ As for whether there will be any consequences, you’ll only know once you become the administrator.”

"The managers..."

Marger seemed to be deep in thought.

"Tia, what are you planning to do?"

“I have to stay, survive the siege of the ‘Redemption’ players, and repair the world’s defenses. You know, this place was once invaded by Borderlands. If I don’t repair the defenses, the world will go on a countdown.”

Tia walked over.

"So you should leave now."

She squatted down in front of Malger, looking him in the eye.

"My Lord Evil God, I worship you because you are handsome, and I don't want your face to become dust in history."

But she saw a smile curving up at the corners of Marger's mouth.

At that moment, a player rushed out, his longsword clashing with magic against Tia's shield, shattering into a shower of magical fragments.

In the dappled light and shadow, Marger raised his chin, his pupils locked on Tia's beautiful eyes.

"Wait."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Li Nuo".

Marjee raised his hand, and his flesh was healing.

"That bastard is here."

A huge meteorite fell from the sky.

The Tanggula Mountains were completely destroyed in the collision.

The culprit stood outside the woods at the foot of the mountain, a man wearing a black hooded long shirt, holding a disappearing "skill card" in his hand.

"How nostalgic... this Great Meteor Spell."

"Is she still alive... Tia?"

He walked toward the ruins of Tanggula Mountain, and behind him appeared old acquaintances who had been resurrected with him, about twenty people in total. Although none of them were above level ninety-nine, half of them were "super-standard" level players.

However, at the very moment they were about to reach it...

Golden light exploded from the sky!

The long stick pierced the ground, sending up a flurry of flying rubble!

Then there's a Pikachu.

Amidst the smoke and dust, one could hear: "Damn it, I must have destroyed the world in my past life..."

The Caucasian girl pulled the stick out of the ground, carried it out, looked around, and her eyes were full of arrogance.

Nanami is resurrected.

……

High in the distant woods.

A group of men stood here, with a red-haired man holding binoculars looking into the distance.

A tide rises from the distant sea.

Suddenly, a Zaku sprang out from under the sea.

The man with the binoculars put down what he was doing and took out a pair of glasses from his clothes.

"Let's go! Let's snatch the Zaku!"

Ark led the group off.

The male escort group is revived.

……

In a strip club in a city across the sea.

The girl with the ponytail inexplicably came back to life on stage.

……

The Hagel Mountains are located in the center of a continent in the northern part of the planet.

In the meteorite crater that is filled with wheat fields.

Phil sat against the rock wall, bloodstains at the corners of his mouth, his pupils trembling.

He looked badly injured.

The Black Emperor stood not far away.

The silver spear pierced the head of the woman named Rafini, and the black dragon's flames burned her soul.

"Her soul is saying that she comes from 'Redemption,' which is now 'Endless,' and her mission is to bring misfortune to this world and destroy the defenses created by the woman named Tia."

Rafini, her thoughts read, was filled with astonishment. Her forehead was pierced by a spear, and she was unable to move, only able to let the black dragon's fire gradually devour her soul.

Even in death, she didn't understand why she was killed by someone whose level hadn't even broken through to 99.

But she could never understand that the one who killed her was one of the strongest monsters in "The End".

The wind blows.

Rafini's body turned to charcoal and detached from the spear.

The black-clad emperor, holding a long spear, took a light step forward.

The black dragon's flames overflowed from its feet, burning everything within the crater that contained the borderlands.

"Nice to meet you, Witcher."

Phil sneered.

"So it's His Majesty the Emperor."

Anmi looked at Phil with her dark eyes.

Flames surged across the land.

In the lingering smoke, several figures stood behind Anmi.

The Emperor and his Heavenly Tower are resurrected next to the player in "The End".

“Phil…”

Anmi's eyes were extremely cold.

"Tell me what happened, why my save file disappeared, and why I reappeared here."

Phil stood up, supporting himself against the rock wall.

"That starts with Li Nuo."

……

Some corner of the world.

White mottled patterns invaded the sky.

This is the "threshold" invading.

The portal triggered by the ancient blood tore through space and time, creating a huge hole here!
The witch burst out from within.

As Cha Bai breathed in the moist air, her chest heaving, her black dress, mask, and goggles all returned to normal.

She reached back and pulled out a hammer mid-air, gracefully turned and sat on the hammer, soaring through the air.

Tea-white birds soared beneath the night sky.

The earth was scarred and devastated, as if it had been through something terrible.

She looked up and caught Li Nuo as she sprang out of the portal of the "threshold".

"what happens!?"

Li Nuo sat behind the hammer handle, his left hand pressing down on the brim of his hat, his eyes locked on the direction of the Tanggula Mountains in the shadows.

"It's the judge's backup plan, sis. Just open a [teleportation portal] to the Tanggula Mountains, make sure it's very precise."

"Sit tight!"

Cha Bai dodged the falling meteorite and took a deep breath.

“A d'yaebl aép arse (Into the devil's ass)!”

She led Li Nuo into the [portal].

In the instant of teleportation, Li Nuo grabbed the longsword piercing his chest. This sword was a gift from the king, and when he pulled it out, it transformed into his staff, which was naturally imbued with even stronger skills.

The longsword was pulled from his chest.

The longsword transformed into a silver cane.
