As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 838 The Aces of Each Corridor

There has never been a manager as weak as Marger, whose abilities were all focused on unorthodox methods.

【Malje: lv>99】

【Strength: 455】

[Reaction: 5 (All skill points were allocated to healing, since I can easily boost my stats by several hundred points with any upgrades)]

[Spiritual Power: 5 (same as "Reaction")]

[Constitution: 1000 (Enhanced)]

[Insight: 1200 (Enhanced by Transformation)]

[Medical: 2000 (I finally managed to reset my stats to reach a round number, but it seems like it's not very useful)]

The above data represents the strongest state after [breaking the limit].

So when Marjane broke through, he had a feeling that "it doesn't seem to matter much whether I reset my stats or not".

His "extraordinary" status stems entirely from his exceptional abilities.

After all players break through the level 99 limit, they will acquire different abilities based on their individual experiences. For example, Li Nuo's demon transformation is White Fire (Cuihua and the Warrior of Light) and Absurd Fate (Cairo's human transformation).

Marje is a special case; he needs to activate a buff before he can use his abilities.

All his abilities are based on the blessing of the [Great Evil God].

【The Great Evil God】

[Type: Skill Enhancement]

[Effect: Activates Great Evil God Transformation, Healing Value +2000, and unlocks "Evil God's Skill Library"]

Below are the skills of the [Great Evil God] after his incarnation.

[MAX, the seller of the Evil God's sphincter: Before explaining this skill, we need to clarify one question: what part of the body is the sphincter? There's a special race of buttock-like beings in the universe who believe that pores are also part of the sphincter. Following this principle of treating everything equally, since the Evil God's entire body is made of pores, how much marsh gas can he release? Now, let's clarify another question: what does the sphincter release? Dirty things. So what's dirty? Souls! Ah! The effect of this skill becomes clear: the Evil God uses his pores to release countless souls of filthy "mechanical cult members." These members are cult members who act as sellers in their original worlds, and what they sell is only one thing: shit (tens of thousands of mechanical lifeforms holding piles of shit)]

The evil god believes that proctology is the best in the world: He believes in loving what you do, and because he works in proctology, he loves it, so he would never suddenly die while defecating.

[The Evil God is a hero who can accept all the chaos in the world: The Evil God is a benevolent evil god. He does not reject any filth, so those filthy things will bypass him. This means that when the Evil God summons those filthy things to descend from the sky, he remains pure and fragrant.]

[But the Evil God is still lonely: Perhaps all heroes are lonely. The Evil God is a hero, so he is lonely, and loneliness fell in love with him. Only when he silently and lonely pushes everyone forward from behind the scenes can the Evil God be like a lonely behind-the-scenes hero, unnoticed by anyone (he has his own invisibility aura)].

[Even in solitude, he can still show love to the world: He possesses a strange charm that draws both men and women to him, but he rejects these feelings. Yet, even so, he's like a lonely pile of excrement, finding lonely maggots even in the most desolate corners. The women he loves but cannot have, yet they continue to love him. This ability to string women along without accepting them gives him immense melancholy and courage (the ability to share the love of a woman, like Nanami's [Eight Leaves One Sword Style]).]

Why is he so lonely? Because the woman he loves is still waiting for him. He is willing to preserve his virginity for her for life. Those who love but cannot have each other are so lonely. But this power grants the evil god extraordinary abilities. As long as he remains a virgin, he possesses the "luck that makes it difficult for him to die for the one he loves."

It was that touch of chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) spirit that sustained the evil god's love and will: the evil god would use chuunibyou to disguise his melancholy. Sometimes he would smoke, letting his melancholy and longing dissipate with the smoke, and then he would utter a "humph" to distract himself. At this time, he would gain the "power of chuunibyou," that is: the destructive power of the next blow would pierce through the earth.

[Hmph, can you withstand this attack? After using "It is that touch of chuunibyou spirit that supports the evil god's love and will," the evil god will draw his pistol, pull the trigger with that "comrade's hammer," and unleash a "Burning Illusionary Light Break" enhanced by chuunibyou.]

That beautiful mushroom cloud: a super-enhanced version of "Explosive Magic," capable of destroying a high-dimensional world in a normal difficulty scenario—this is the most powerful "Explosive Illusionary Light Break."

[The flames of the explosion illuminate the evil god: Behold the light of hope shining upon the earth, are you ready to march towards dawn, my followers... The power of all followers is greatly enhanced, provided that those who truly believe are so.]

Everyone acquired a mind of steel: the legendary cultists of the Steel Soul descended upon the land, their numbers probably equaling a sack of cockroaches, and the sight of them was unbearable.

[We, our faith, and Lord Evil God: Lord Evil God can use the abilities of all the followers of the Steel Soul, but some followers may be a bit too powerful, and Lord Evil God can't handle them (he can't use the abilities of the goddess Tangula Tia)]

After the smoke cleared, a vision for the future emerged: the evil god left hope for this land, using his remaining magic to summon seeds (mechanical lifeforms). These small robots would randomly descend upon certain parts of the world and acquire powerful "evolutionary power" to change (conquer) a new world.

[After-the-fact smoke: I love Sawa (This tactic is pointless)]

[Tier System: Skills are divided into two tiers. Completely transforming into a demon god grants the highest skill effect, but results in intermittent intellectual impairment. In the half-powered state, the skill effect is only one-tenth or even less than the original, but the intelligence remains normal. But then again, what intelligence does someone who plays with shit need?]

A few days ago, when Sauron discovered Marje's skills, he spent an entire day trying to accept the absurdity of the manager's abilities.

anyway.

Before entering the round table, Marger had already begun his discussion on "After the smoke clears, there is a vision for the future."

Two small mechanical lifeforms, sharing his line of sight, entered the World Tree.

The objective is simple: to gather intelligence and corrupt the World Tree.

Actually, this kind of thing has happened before. There was a manager (deceased) who did something similar, but the World Tree immediately saw through it and he was punished.

The manager failed for two reasons:
First, the creatures he summoned were cells capable of evolution, but their evolutionary intensity was too high, and their corrosiveness was too strong.

Second, the World Tree is very sensitive to magic and abnormal energy. The cellular organisms that grow into demonic creatures of A+ level or higher are too strong and have too much magic.

Marger has none of these shortcomings. The mechanical lifeform is very weak, with a proud F (combat power 5) strength, and its magic power is so thin that it is almost non-existent. Its way of evolution is to learn knowledge and slowly digest it, much like the kind of humans who can't even withstand being hit by a truck.

Weakness, ironically, becomes a kind of strength.

That's what makes evil gods so awesome.

Back to the present.

Marcher declared himself the ace at the round table for three reasons.

First, he tried to connect to the visual sharing of the mechanical lifeforms, but failed. The World Tree has a firewall that isolates external monitoring, and forcibly breaking through it would alert the enemy.

Secondly, he wanted to see if the other managers could figure out what he was doing. Four of them didn't care. Xiu Farell did consider trying mind reading, but it was clear that the World Tree had its own rules: managers could not engage in truly malicious behavior with each other.

In the end, he truly believed he was the ace.

The Valkyrie said with a smile that held a hint of anger, "You'd better follow the rules."

She actually knew what Marger was doing, and in order to "protect" Marger, the Valkyrie drew her trump card from the deck and placed it on the round table.

"Everyone, please hurry."

The so-called "ace" is the player in each corridor who is most trusted by the administrator.

The World Tree did not specify the special meaning of "Ace," but the administrators all knew that the concept of an ace was: someone who would receive certain positive blessings.

The remaining managers all placed their most important players on the table.

After considering it for a moment, Marger took out the player he considered the most important and placed him on the round table as well.

All managers have already selected their "ace" players.

……

【Platform of the Immortal Train "Sky Corridor"】

This group of people exuded a "sacred" aura. They were the famous "Sky Riders" ten, ten extremely powerful members of their subordinate branch, and the newly formed idiot couple.

The 22 people stood silently at the back of the platform, and in front of them stood the handsome man with long white hair, Bei Maisili.

Even the most oblivious and clueless couple kept their mouths shut at this moment.

Isley turned around and gave everyone a gentle smile: "Gentlemen, don't be so serious, who can tell a joke?"

He is undoubtedly the strongest player in the entire corridor, and he would be the strongest player who would not be out of place even if he were to become the manager immediately.

【Sky Corridor: Ace, "Northern Horse" Isley】

……

【Platform of the "End Corridor" of the Immortal Train】

On the north side of the platform, An Mi sat on a bench, his head lowered, his pupils slanted upwards, taking in the 40 extremely powerful individuals.

"Anmi, suppress your murderous aura."

Xiaoqing sat down next to him and ruffled his thick, dark hair.

“I didn’t want this either… but these guys, just seeing them makes me want to tear them apart.”

Anmi suppressed the violence throbbing in his soul. The group he was referring to was actually six other special players on the platform.

The strongest in the End are the most numerous, and it is managed by seven players.

These seven individuals, known as the Demon Kings, are the players who have most recently challenged the status of the Demon God.

Emperor Anmi inherited the position of scholar and became the newly crowned Demon King. Besides him, there are other notable figures such as the witch Meluna and the cardinal Old Jack, representing the most dangerous forces within the player community.

The ace will be chosen from these seven people.

Suddenly, a person on the south platform scratched their head and started shouting, "Ah, why me...!"

All eyes turned to him. One of the Seven Demon Kings.

【The Corridor of the End: Ace, "Warrior of Light" Bruce】

……

【The "Death Corridor" Platform of the Immortal Train】

The presence of a dead person creates a depressing atmosphere wherever they are.

Although the platform was pure white, the area where these 18 people were located felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on it, making it suffocating.

There was only one girl in a kimono, surrounded by peace.

Everyone felt a complex mix of fear and dependence towards her.

The girl sat in a wheelchair with a large wooden box on her legs. Her feet had soft, graceful lines, and her toes were wrapped in fine silk threads that went into the box.

"Everyone... it seems I was chosen."

The girl looked at everyone with a complicated expression.

Everyone looked at her with eyes that said, "It should be you."

The girl looked at the wooden box on her lap, her expression full of helplessness.

"I hate this..."

[Death Corridor: Ace, "Puppet Princess" Yuzuru]

……

【Eternal Life Train "Eternal Life Corridor" Platform】

Why wasn't it me?!

"Because you're not good enough."

"It doesn't matter who it is, once I'm in the script I'm going to beat up Soren Lee, who wants to come with me?"

"Liu Si, stop fooling around."

"That bespectacled guy must be rich! Trust me, beat him up and make him pay for my horse racing betting..."

"Who's going to do something about this gambler?!"

The group started arguing idly, while "Dyed Guy," standing behind them in a brown coat, watched them with a smile.

[Eternal Corridor: The Ace, "Bloodstained" in the Beater]

……

【The "Endless Corridor" Platform of the Immortal Train】

Lillian sat on the bench, her brow furrowed as she stared at the back of her hand. She worried that she would be chosen as the "Ace," which would mean she would have to contribute to "Endless."

The result was pleasing; the unremarkable crew-cut man, "Raven," twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.

Perhaps... the judge couldn't take the risk with Lillian, given the other corridors were also involved, so he chose the safest option.

[Endless Corridor: Ace "???" Raven]

……

【Eternal Life Train "Redemption Corridor" Platform】

When Li Nuo and his friends received the message to choose the "ace," the group started acting all silly.

The guys from the male escort group created a "little golden man," and Nanami used her stage experience to direct Chen Shou and others to build a temporary award ceremony stage.

Li Nuo and Soren stood on the stage.

Xiao Wu stood between the two, dressed in an off-shoulder long dress, acting as the host, and began to read aloud as if reciting a textbook: "Dear guests, the next award to be presented is the 'Redemption Corridor' year-end grand prize—the Ace Trophy!"

The audience erupted in applause.

Xiao Wu: "With everyone's unanimous agreement, Mr. Li and Mr. Li are our corridor's most worthy trump cards, willing to die for everyone. So, in Mr. Ma's eyes, who is the real trump card between these two? Next..."

I don't know who was playing the sound of drums on a radio.

"The grand prize is about to be awarded." Xiao Wu turned her head and read aloud, "The award presenters are the family members of the two individuals."

Skinny guy shone two flashlights on Cha Bai, who was covering her face and feeling ashamed, on his left.

"Miss Cha Bai is Mr. Li Nuo's wife."

Skinny guy shone his other flashlight into an open space.

Xiao Wu feigned surprise: "Oh dear, the other Mr. Li doesn't have any family members. Let me join in making fun of him."

The men in the host club unleashed a malicious laugh at their leader.

Soren's lips twitched: "What am I doing...?"

Li Nuo: "Just bear with it, you glasses guy who no one loves."

"Don't bother with all that," Sauron said. "Let's just have a fight and see who's the boss."

"Ha~" Li Nuo chuckled slyly: "I have 0.1 more Nanami's fighting power than you, and you actually dare to challenge me who has 0.1 more Nanami's fighting power than you? You have no idea how many universes' worth of power is contained in 0.1 Nanami's fighting power?"

Nanami: "What's it to me?"

Just as the two were about to draw their swords.

Xiao Wu's eyes narrowed: "I have a feeling that the selection has already been made."

At this moment, Cha Bai walked onto the stage with the trophy in hand.

Li Nuo raised his hand to take it.

Cha Bai: "It's me."

【Redemption Corridor: The Ace "Woman Among Women" - Cha Bai】

……

There is only one reason why Marger chose the tea white.

Tea White is exceptionally lucky.

The average combat strength of the "Redemption Corridor" is definitely the lowest among all the corridors. The three strongest giants, Li Nuo, Soren and Nanami, would not be considered top-tier even in other corridors. They are still too "young".

Therefore, this is where "luck" comes in, and Cha Bai's [Focusor] is the embodiment of luck.

[Rules are now being announced]

The World Tree's voice appeared on the round table.

Simultaneously.

All the 157 strongest players in the entire corridor heard this voice from every platform.

[Since the next scenario will involve an area outside our jurisdiction]

To protect everyone's safety and the World Tree's own program, the safest method has been used.

Only five players can move around in each corridor (one boss and four level 2 players).

The remaining players were transformed into cards, scattered throughout the world (their original forms are waiting on the platform).

[The method of obtaining cards, including side quests or other means, is currently outside our control and the specific method has not yet been calculated. The specific method will be provided within three minutes after the start of the scenario.]

Once you find new player cards, you can replace them with other players' cards until you build the perfect team.

[This includes an Ace, whose identity (the Joker card) is fixed and cannot be replaced. After finding the "summoning method" for the Administrator, the Ace can directly summon the Administrator to intervene in the "battle," with an effective duration of 1 minute.]

Furthermore, the ace will be placed in the most dangerous location.

Li Nuo almost broke his teeth biting.

"Damn it, Malje..."
