The Monster is Coming

Chapter 389 The Intimidating Martial Arts Arena

[Earth Union News Agency: Special Report on the Emergency]

On camera, the host wore a professional smile, but a lingering trace of fear remained deep in his eyes.

"Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the Horizon Special. I believe that in the past 24 hours, the shadow of the alien fleet invasion looming over the world has instilled fear in everyone. The overwhelming torrent of steel once triggered the highest level of red alert for our near-Earth orbit defense system..."

On the holographic screen behind her, an image of the mechanical legion fleet provided by the Earth Joint Operations Command was displayed.

But it quickly switched to the peaceful starry sky we see today.

The metallic dust that once surrounded the Earth and became a ring around the planet has also disappeared.

The host's tone was tinged with confusion:

"It is unbelievable that this crisis, which seemed capable of causing a devastating disaster, has once again ended quietly."

“Yes, once again,” she emphasized.

With a light tap of her finger, she brought up the image of the floating behemoth that appeared when the Spirit Breath Clan invaded, and began to explain the situation in detail.

After discussing the sudden cessation of the abnormal intrusion (spirit intrusion) incident, the host continued:

"As we have seen, for the members of the Earth Alliance, the arrival and invasion of external forces is no longer news. It happens several times almost every year, and small-scale conflicts are commonplace. We have gone from being panicked at the beginning to taking it for granted now. There is even a joke within the alliance about 'monthly invasion quotas'."

"But intrusion is never a game, and we are fortunate to have escaped a catastrophe."

The scene switches to random street interviews.

A member of the Ring Clan, whose hands resembled octopus tentacles, spoke casually to the camera:

"Oh, you're asking about yesterday's arrival crisis? Apparently, it was quite a big deal, but I watched the whole thing on the Monster World livestream and didn't take it seriously at all. After all, I can't change anything, can I... Luckily, nothing happened in the end. I suspect it was just a transit jump by some 'stinky outsider' on their interdimensional journey, coming to Earth and then tearing through space to leave, having no interest in our planet whatsoever." He chuckled to himself as he spoke.
"It could also be an invasion; after discovering that Earth's resources were scarce, they left out of disgust."

The scene shifts to a member of the Destroyer Clan, whose eyes are filled with fervor during an interview:
"I believe it must have been the Lunar Eclipse Clan who made the move. Only the Lunar Eclipse Clan has such power to quickly drive away the invading forces. They definitely have that kind of strength... Just as I have always maintained, the air on the moon is sweeter than on Earth, and you know about the Lunar Eclipse Clan's war technology..."

As the live stream switched between different cities and ethnic groups, they expressed different opinions on the invasion.

When the camera switched back to the news studio, the scholars invited to the program were discussing the intrusion incident.

The assessments of the Green Wood Clan's natural energy experts appeared much more rigorous compared to the interviews:
"The energy readings surged to an unprecedented peak in a very short time and then mysteriously disappeared. This is obviously abnormal. Judging from the energy fluctuations, it seems that they were about to launch an attack on Earth, but it seems that they were affected by some external force and suddenly gave up. The Lunar Eclipse Clan did not reveal any specific information. There must be something we don't know about behind this."

Beside the Greenwood Clan scholar, the Skyfeather Clan's expert on the arrival of the Skyfeather Clan chimed in:
"Since the footage from outer space has been cut off, it proves that the Lunar Eclipse Clan must be hiding some secret from us, but we have no means to counter them. I think we should try to obtain the specific details of what happened through diplomatic protests. All races of the Earth Alliance should have the right to know..."

Amid the scholars' discussion, the camera finally cut back to the host, whose expression remained serious.

"Although people in major cities are used to descent events, this sudden situation is different from the past, leaving many unsolved mysteries. Whether the Lunar Eclipse Clan will reveal the truth is unknown for the time being. We will closely monitor the subsequent developments and try to contact the Lunar Eclipse to understand why the descent forces suddenly approached Earth, why they suddenly lost all signals, and why they vanished as if evaporated without any reports of intense battles?"

"On behalf of the Earth Operations Command, I hereby announce to all citizens of the Earth Alliance that the crisis has been averted. We urge all citizens of the Earth Alliance to remain calm and trust in the Alliance's external defense capabilities."

"The truth will be revealed later. Horizon will continue to follow up. Thank you for watching."

The report has ended, but discussions about the mysteriously appearing and disappearing fleet, and the truth behind it, are raging across the internet.

After 3 hours.

The Lunar Eclipse Clan's ruler convened a briefing.

The message conveyed is singular: a branch of the Lunar Eclipse Clan, led by the AI, has returned to the main line and officially joined the Earth Alliance. However, only the AI ​​and the AI ​​Legion have returned; the branch members have perished in the long interdimensional war. The Lunar Eclipse Clan will now utilize the resources and technology brought by the branch to assist the development of all races on Earth.

……

A sudden crisis struck Earth, and Qi Sheng paid close attention to it throughout.

In his view, the appearance or disappearance of the central brain would have no impact on the development of the player faction.

Even without a lifeline, he could wipe out the mechanical legion with a wave of his hand.

With the help of Life Throat and other members of the Fate Clan, maintaining stability on a practical level has become much less troublesome.

The StarNet will handle the subsequent explanations; he doesn't need to concern himself with them.

At this point, attention shifts to the player data that provides guidance and feedback.

The statistics include 13 recently contained souls and 32 resource nodes.

Three of them are spirits, which have sparked considerable discussion on the forum.

The first Soul was a second-generation Soul, Gravity Vortex, which was captured by the player "Moyu Bu Shi Gandi" and his warband in a lake in Sunstrider.

This is a Soul that is very suitable for magic-based players who want area-of-effect attacks and control.

The special effect consumes mental energy to create an ever-expanding gravitational vortex at the mentally marked location, dragging everything nearby toward the center of gravity.

The release continuously consumes mental energy, and can continuously cause gravitational pressure damage and control effects.

This spirit is generally not very effective for lone wolf type players.

However, its performance on the battlefield is excellent, and many player guilds and teams have already tested its effectiveness in actual combat.

The spellcaster simultaneously releases a gravitational vortex, which will significantly reduce the efficiency of ranged attacks from behind the enemy legion.

Because the opponent's ranged spells will also be affected by the gravitational vortex at the moment they are cast.

The only drawback is that the coordinates for releasing the gravitational vortex are crucial.

If the coordinates of the gravitational vortexes released by the cults are different and some areas overlap, the effects of the gravitational vortexes will pull each other and cancel each other out.

This soul requires a high level of coordinated combat ability from the magic group.

Small battle groups or guilds typically have only a handful of magic-based players to avoid interfering with each other.

During this period, the number of magic-based players who have equipped themselves with "Gravity Vortex" is steadily increasing.

As can be seen from the embedded curve of the guidance feedback, this will be the mainstream magic-based soul that will be very popular in the future "war domain".

Besides its powerful special effects, the affordable price of the second-generation Soul is also a significant factor.

The second Soul is the sixth-generation Soul: Steal, which was captured by the player "Every Night Daydreaming" in the Ascension Sea, in the trench 3 meters below the seabed.

The theft sparked heated discussions as soon as it was released.

It is also regarded by strategy-oriented players as a Soul that can be promoted to T1 level from the start and has the potential to be promoted to T0 level.

The effect is simple: after being released on a target, it randomly selects a buff status and converts it into a "buff orb," which can be used by the user or given to a teammate.

The duration is affected by the consumption of mental energy or blood energy.

The stronger the buff that is stolen, the more mental energy or health is consumed while stealing it.

To steal the state of a deity, one must be prepared to have one's consciousness drained or one's life force burned out in an instant.

This soul's strength is impressive in actual combat.

The monster world has too many ways to cheat; all the added statuses can be stolen.

For example, the protective aura generated by the release of blood and qi by many races can be regarded as a buff that is extracted. After it is extracted, the target will no longer be able to release this ability, disappearing from the rule level and turning into a buff orb in the player's hand, which can be given to any target.

Alternatively, many races possess special racial talents that unleash the body's potential, similar to "rage".

This ability can also be stolen, causing the other party to lose their ability and temporarily belong to the player.

But this is not the limit of theft.

In the test space, strategy-oriented players attempted to generate a test dummy of the Artifact race.

Then try to keep releasing the steal to it.

To their surprise, they discovered that they had actually stolen the power of the artifact granted by the rules of the artifact.

This proves that theft can even temporarily steal the effectiveness of the rules imposed on the other party.

For example, if the opponent's rule effect is to increase their own power tenfold, once it is stolen and locked, this ability will belong to the player.

Players who follow the strategies on the forums have discovered many surprises through continuous testing.

Although the effect of stealing is random, players will have two Soul Fates that can influence their fortune.

For example, bad luck and good luck.

These two souls can exacerbate the target's losses or increase the probability of drawing a high-buff status.

Secondly, the "attribute growth value" of the stolen life soul is also very high, reaching 1.325.

The so-called attribute growth value refers to a method of calculating the growth potential of a Soul, which was discovered by forum players themselves.

Each Soul has different characteristics and effects, and their growth values ​​are also completely different.

Take the "initial three god-tier characters" in the eyes of players as an example.

Although they are all from the same generation of life souls, the initial overall attribute values ​​of the three Phantom Gods are completely different.

The Eagle-Headed Demon's overall attribute value is 15 (physical fitness: 3, mental strength: 8, elemental resistance: 4).

The gargoyle's overall attribute value is 17.

The Black Armored Serpent's overall attribute is 14.

Here, the gargoyle has the highest overall attribute value, and this difference will further widen as the level of its spirit increases.

Players use the Black Armored Serpent Soul, which was also the first Soul chosen by player Li Zheng, as the basis for calculating the growth potential of other Souls. The representative value is: 1.

Therefore, the Gargoyle's attribute growth potential is 1.214.

The Eagle-Headed Demon's attribute growth potential is 1.071.

When players choose a Soul, the first thing they will consider is the Soul's characteristics, and the second thing they will consider is the Soul's attribute growth potential.

The importance of numerical values ​​has become a crucial reference indicator after the inclusion of the "Divine Transformation" territorial rule, which allows for the arbitrary alteration of attribute amplification direction.

The growth potential of stealing life essence by 1.325 ranks fourth in the attribute potential ranking compiled by players.

Secondly, the stealing effect is suitable for players of all playstyles.

Forum players voted to rank it in T1 instead of T0 because the cost of stealing life essence is too high.

As a sixth-generation soul, it requires 100,000 points of sacrificial power to purchase.

Players have many ways to consume sacrificial power, but a single Soul requires 100,000 sacrificial power, which is obviously unacceptable for ordinary players with their income.

To quote a player on the forum: "With this price, I can inlay a first-generation Soul Stone, and then use the remaining Sacrificial Power to buy Evolution Pills to directly upgrade the Soul Stone's level to 31."

A level 31 first-generation Soul is far superior to a sixth-generation Soul in every aspect, including attributes and special effects.

Taking all factors into account, the current cost-effectiveness is relatively low.

The third soul is the first-generation soul, Rejuvenation, which was captured by the player "Liu Huangshu" in the Broken Sand Halberd.

Its special effect is to spray a drop of "rejuvenating water" formed from mental energy. The direction of flight can be controlled by consciousness, and the target that comes into contact with it will receive a rule-level healing effect.

In other words, curses, corruption, and other negative statuses that hinder life recovery will not affect the amount of healing.

The specific treatment effect is affected by two dimensions: the level of the Soul and the player's mental strength.

After the Rejuvenating Soul was released, it was already pushed to the top tier of the current version by forum players before any strategy guides were released and any reviews were published.

The reason is simple: rejuvenation is a healing-type life force.

Before this, there was only one way to heal the soul: the prayer of the sixth generation.

Although it is very powerful, ordinary players simply do not have the ability to socket it.

The high price of Soul Essence is only one hurdle; the limited channels for obtaining Prayer Power make it difficult for Soul Essence to grow quickly.

Support characters with the Wish Soul are absolute core members of top guilds.

Therefore, small groups basically use the growth-type pet "Light Feather" as the main means of team sustainability.

Since the game's launch, the question of when healing-type spirits will be accepted has been frequently raised by forum players.

Many veteran support players waited two and a half years for this, and finally saw the result they wanted after the Rejuvenation Soul was released.

The arrival of Rejuvenation means that support roles will be promoted from doing menial tasks to becoming the core of the team.

A strong healer can significantly improve the survivability of a tanky player.

Importance is directly tied to the damage-bearing flow.

The once-renowned "support duo," Light Shield and Binding Souls, have inevitably seen their status challenged and have been relegated to a secondary position in the priority ranking for socketing.

After the resurrection update, the support build has officially entered its golden age.

Qi Sheng observed from the career playstyle curve chart in the feedback guide that the proportion of support playstyle players has increased significantly recently.

The lowest percentage was among damage-absorbing players, accounting for 4.59%.

It remains the rarest class in the current version.

A team of 1 typically has only one tank player, and magic-based players make up more than half of the team.

In top-tier guilds like Shentang, the percentage of players who take damage fluctuates around 25%.

In terms of gameplay experience, the magic-based class is widely recognized on the forum as having the best player experience.

It consistently ranks first in all aspects.

First, there's the output environment. Damage is taken care of by players who absorb damage, while buffs, shields, and sustain are handled by support players.

Melee players are responsible for the frontal assault.

For players using magic-based attacks, the key is to unleash their full firepower and enjoy the thrill of securing kills.

This has led to intense competition among magic-based players, making it the most difficult to find a team among all class builds.

The competition among magic-based players to join a good team is extremely fierce, and they must show their character panel to the team leader before joining.

Scoring is based on various aspects such as body tempering level, star vein level, life soul level, rune resonance weapon, etc. Even if you pass the interview, you still have to pass the team's output cycle test before you can become a formal member.

In contrast, damage-absorbing builds are extremely rare, making each one a core asset of the team.

In order to retain players who rely on taking damage, many teams are even willing to start from scratch and train them.

The cost is that players who take damage must not only endure the pain of directly facing the damage, but also bear enormous team pressure.

If the team is wiped out, the player who was a tank and couldn't withstand the damage will most likely be blamed.

The turning point for the increase in the number of support players was also because "Rejuvenation" indirectly improved the survivability of damage-absorbing players, thus taking on the role of a team amplifier.

Its strategic importance within the team has increased significantly. After reviewing all the information in the guidance statistics and feedback, Qi Sheng's gaze shifted to the progress of the project under development.

There are two projects that have recently received a lot of dedicated research and development effort.

These are the optimization and improvement of the battle formation system, and the expansion of the battle formation scale.

The second is the study of "momentum," which is the power of emotions.

At present, preliminary results have been achieved in the study of potential.

Qi Sheng decided that if there were any results, they would be released. There was no need to hide the system that could improve players' combat power.

Although the update has added another way to spend sacrificial energy.

But how to choose is up to the player.

In this regard, forum strategy players will also provide cost-effective reference suggestions to the majority of players.

Having clarified his thoughts, Qi Sheng sent a mental connection to Chaowei.

One hour later, a server-wide announcement echoed in the minds of all players.

[Challenger's Notice (All Channels): The game is about to undergo a version update. The update content is as follows]:
Update 1: Adjustment to the "auction" mode of the trading house.

Content Description: To meet the needs of some players who want to quickly sell their items in the auction house, a custom time function has been added to the auction listing mode.

Update 2: The Intimidation (Power) System is officially launched.

Content Introduction: Intimidation is a player's inner emotions, will, and personality traits that are transformed into a substantial outward emotional aura. It can directly affect the target's emotional changes, causing them to experience emotions such as fear, anger, and sadness (for details, players need to go to the Intimidation Arena in Emperor's Tomb Village).

Update 3: Limited-time event - Intimidation Challenge.

Duration: 72 hours.

Content Description: Players use the pressure from the demo scene to complete the levels. The top 1,000 players for each type of pressure will receive a reward of sacrificial power (for details, please visit the Pressure Arena).

……

The sudden update immediately became a hot topic of discussion on the forum.

Many strategy-oriented players also took to the forums during this period, hoping to gain popularity by taking advantage of this update.

If we're lucky, we might discover some secrets.

It might bring a surge in traffic and make him a promising new star on the forum.

After the update notification, an open area in the southern part of Teizuka Village shook, and distorted ripples appeared in space.

Immediately afterwards, a dark golden light pattern spread out from the depths of the soil, outlining the massive plaza at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Where light and shadow intertwine, the building's outline gradually becomes clear from its illusory appearance.

The outer wall of the Weiya Martial Arts Arena is made of dark brown rocks, with grooves of varying depths covering the stones, as if they have been scratched by countless sharp claws, or as if they were naturally formed by wind, sun and rain, giving it a rustic and wild atmosphere of an old era.

With the appearance of the new building, a large number of players flocked from the direction of the Emperor's Tomb Village teleportation point.

After stepping into the training ground, they disappeared and were teleported into a separate space.

……

After 2 hours.

The explorer appeared at the Emperor's Tomb Village teleportation point.

"Stop rushing me. What epic buff in this version, what cowardly momentum, what are you talking about... I'm definitely on the adventure momentum or the courage momentum, how could there be such a weird thing as cowardly momentum?"

With the launch of the pressure system, the Explorer's live stream room suddenly became incredibly popular.

As the forum's undisputed number one coward, he is considered to be the player with the strongest "cowardly mentality".

The newly launched pressure system is another name for "momentum".

Players who are serious about research have provided a relatively detailed interpretation of the concept of "momentum".

This special power can be summarized in one sentence: A single emotional thought can be the beginning of a trend.

The emergence of any emotion can be a catalyst for action.

A thought arises, and power emerges.

For example, when a creature encounters a crisis, it may want to turn around and run away.

This requires a process: first, have the thought, then move the body.

Conversely, if the thought of attack arises, one should first generate a "killing intent" and then drive the body to unleash ferocity.

This is an inherent emotional force, but if it is cultivated into a "momentum," it can also influence the enemy.

However, mastering the use of "momentum" is extremely difficult, and even the combat instructors in the Reverse Tide Training Camp only have a superficial understanding of it.

The only clear manifestation of "momentum" that players can explicitly see is the demigod-level legion commander of the Reverse Tide Legion: Futu.

Players understand only one concept: all emotions can be used as momentum.

In theory, cowardice can also be a manifestation of power.

Therefore, the forum often uses memes to refer to the Explorer as the version's number one "cowardly force".

The sudden release of the Intimidation System immediately reminded most players of this meme.

As a result, many people flocked to the Explorer's live stream, believing that it had received an epic buff in the version, and rushed back to their village to download the "new cheat".

The explorers were also quite helpless about this.

The live stream was full of discussions about this, so he had no choice but to return to the village as requested by the viewers.

Deep down, he did not consider himself a "coward".

His yearning for adventure, his thirst for freedom, and his desire to traverse the monster world and uncover all the mysteries of the map have never cooled.

Every retreat was based on calm analysis.

Can that be called cowardice?

That's called being cautious!

It is the wisest choice when facing monsters that are beyond one's strength; it is a manifestation of survival wisdom and part of exploration strategy.

The noise in the live stream and the rapidly scrolling barrage of memes left him both amused and exasperated.

He returned to the village this time to prove that he was not a coward.

It's time to clear up the dark history of being humiliated by Qi Die and begging for mercy on my knees.

The number of players near the teleportation point was steadily increasing, so he summoned a vehicle and flew towards the functional building.

There were no traffic lights along the way, and the airspace was a chaotic mess of all kinds of vehicles.

Flying swords, magic carpets, mechanical birds, auspicious clouds... He was almost hit head-on by a flying dragon turtle that attacked from the side.

When the dark brown exterior of the Intimidation Training Ground, covered with claw marks, came into view, he decisively steered the vehicle downwards.

As his figure passed through the semi-transparent energy barrier outside the training ground, he was instantly enveloped by a stream of dark golden particles.

[Challenger's Prompt: Consume 2 points of Sacrificial Power to enter the Pressure Test Space?]

"Yes."

A dizzying sensation from the spatial shift washed over me.

The next second, he found himself in an empty square.

Beneath our feet is a high platform paved with bluestone.

Eight large doors, entirely made of energy, floated in front of them, their frames shimmering with different colored halos of light.

His gaze swept across the area, and information about the eight large doors appeared in his mind.

These eight doors represent eight extreme emotional forces.

The surface of the first gate resembled boiling magma, with flames constantly bursting forth from within; its name was: Gate of Crimson Wrath.

The second door is shrouded in a deep purple mist, which occasionally condenses into fang-like shapes in the center of the door. Faint sounds of sorrowful weeping can be heard coming from inside. The name displayed is: Gate of Blue Sorrow.

Other gates include the Gate of Resentment, the Gate of Fear, the Gate of Terror, the Gate of Courage, the Gate of Contemplation, and the Gate of Cowardice.

Each door has a distinct color and features.

Just then, an interface popped up in front of him.

At the top of the interface is a prominent title: Awakening of Intimidation Guide.

Below the title are three lines of gold text:
The power of momentum originates from one's inner self and manifests in emotions; different emotional traits will lead to different paths of momentum.

To help you more accurately pinpoint the appropriate pressure force for yourself, we will conduct a quick scan and assessment.

This assessment will include an analysis of personality traits and mood changes to ensure that the most suitable "First Step" is recommended for you.

There are two options below the text:

These are: personality trait analysis and emotional change analysis.

Upon seeing these two analysis and evaluation options, the explorer suddenly felt a little nervous.

But upon closer reflection, the "cowardly attitude" was mostly a joke; I don't actually have a single cowardly trait.

The "Gate of Tranquility" among the eight gates is a more suitable option for caution.

I took a deep breath and focused my gaze on the "Personality Trait Analysis," and a progress bar immediately appeared.

[Personality trait scan in progress... Analysis complete.]

Your main personality traits are as follows: high risk aversion, keen environmental insight, goal-oriented persistence, low adaptability, preference for problem-solving through non-confrontational means...

Analysis complete. Personality trait leans towards: Caution (Gate of Tranquility).

"Hahaha."

Upon seeing the analysis results, the tension instantly transformed into a triumphant joy, and the explorer couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Seeing this, the viewers in the live stream were also quite agitated.

The explorer's cowardice is historically proven; the video is still preserved on the forum.

Back then, when Qi Die beat him up, he ran away with his head in his hands and knelt down begging for mercy. He didn't show any caution at all; he was just a coward.

Since the opening of new areas such as the Misty Coast and the Frosty Winter Snowfield.

The explorer returned to the Imperial Tomb Mountains only three times. The first two times were to participate in large-scale mobilization wars, and the third time was to invite the Emperor to hunt the Strange Butterflies.

The rest of the time, I never go there.

He's a coward certified by the authorities (Qi Die), so how did he become cautious in the pressure system's judgment?

This does not conform to the beating law of Qidie, and violates the logic of Qidie's keen insight and judgment.

In response, forum users demanded a retest, believing that something must have gone wrong.

The cheerful explorer readily complied with the requests of the viewers in the live stream, re-evaluated their personality traits, and concluded that they remained cautious.

This left the viewers in the live stream completely speechless.

After all, these are personality traits certified by the system, and they can't find any fault with them.

The explorer who has successfully proven himself then focuses his attention on the second analysis: the analysis of emotional changes.

Upon activation of consciousness, analytical information popped up in the mind:
[Emotional change analysis initiated, accessing historical combat data and physiological feedback records... Analysis complete.]

[The main emotional traits are labeled as follows: vigilance, tension, strong sense of crisis, sense of humiliation during the crisis, and a feeling of relief after escaping danger... Strong emotional reactions are often associated with avoiding harm and successfully escaping. Analysis complete.]

Once the emotional trait analysis is complete, the text and progress bar on the interface disappear.

[Analysis results have been integrated.]

Based on your comprehensive personality traits and emotional changes, we have accurately identified the most suitable starting point for you.

At the same time, in the center of the interface, a portal emitting a soft gray-white halo gradually enlarged.

Upon seeing this scene, the explorer felt a surge of anticipation, thinking it must represent the Gate of Tranquility, a symbol of calm reflection.

Or is it the gate of courage that yearns for freedom and adventure?
Just then, the answer was revealed: four large characters appeared in the center of the gate: Gate of Cowardice.

These four words, like a red-hot branding iron, were imprinted on the explorer's retina.

The expectant smile on his face froze instantly, then collapsed at a visible speed. The color drained away in an instant, only to surge back due to extreme frustration and shame, eventually turning his entire face a purplish-red.

The illusion of a high regard for "free adventurers" in my heart shattered with a "crack".

In the live stream, the viewers who had been holding their breath and waiting for the results finally got the answer they wanted.

The next second, a tsunami of "hahaha" completely flooded the entire screen.

"Hahaha, the authoritative certification from Qidie was indeed correct. You are the ultimate coward."

"I'm dying of laughter, this show is full of entertainment value, I got the result I wanted, it's so satisfying."

"I burst out laughing while I was eating spiritual food. You clearly still don't have a clear understanding of yourself, the biggest coward."

The live stream was flooded with a barrage of comments and memes of "explorers kneeling and begging for mercy".

As the explorer looked at the "Gate of Cowards" on the interface and the screen full of mockery in the live stream, his last bit of psychological defense finally collapsed.

"It's over...it's all over!"

A wail, filled with endless grief, anger, and madness, burst from his throat.

He knew he could never clear his name.

At this moment, the live stream was filled with noise and the explorers' lamentations.

Emotions are polar opposites; joy and sorrow are on different paths.

　Here are 8200 words~
