My Player 2

Chapter 410 Fight or Escape

A storm powerful enough to destroy the continent suddenly erupted within the twins' heads.

The long-suppressed gale broke free of its restraints and instantly filled the entire world.

The recent "The Thief God" is the first to be affected.

Just to steal the aftershocks of the attack, he lost more than half of his mana bar.

An endless storm swept through the space, each gust possessing the power to tear apart magic steel. There was no safe zone; all living beings within the dream space faced the merciless annihilation of the gale.

If this blow were to actually hit the brain, it could cause at least eleven-figure damage.

But the girl in front of the 'God Thief' was not torn into a bloody mess; instead, she turned into smoke with a "bang," leaving only the remnants of her magic.

Seeing is not necessarily believing.

The storm dispersed the smoke and dust that shrouded the space, revealing the truth beneath the illusion.

It turned out that what was in front of him was not the Gemini, but an illusion created by the Gemini using smoke.

The 'Thief God' reacted quickly, following the chains on his hands to find the twins' trail.

The creature was still chained and was struggling to climb down towards the ice crystals below.

She had a cut on her forehead, but the wound wasn't very deep. She must have escaped danger immediately after being attacked and left an illusion behind.

If it weren't for the chain holding her there, she probably would have reached the ice crystals long ago.

The 'God of Thieves' gripped the chains tightly. He didn't know that the ice crystal contained a soul, but since this guy wanted to go over, he couldn't let him have his way.

He pulled the chain upwards with all his might, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, with a power attribute difference of at least ten times. If the twins hadn't been in a bad state, he wouldn't have even been able to slow down their actions.

At the same time, his other hand was also busy, throwing dozens of wind blades at the twins, and then shouting at the white-haired rat who was helping for some unknown reason:
"Hey, can you help me pull this out?"

【Kamaitachi】Her face was ferocious, and the fur on her body frantically gathered towards her hands, turning her hairy arms into bare ones. The compressed storm was even more terrifying than before, already beyond her control, and she looked like she wanted to perish together with everyone else.

If a B-level powerhouse wants to destroy a continent with a single blow, he must burn his essence and life force.

A-level powerhouses can do the same thing with only a small price to pay.

“Don’t let her pass, she wants to use these souls—to break our bond—they are the last embers of Elbru—to cleanse the corruption of the abyss—to save everyone—” The twins, bound by chains, were still struggling with each other.

Under the suppression of the runes on the chains, the twins seem to be vying for control of their bodies.

Kamaitachi's body trembled slightly.

Her eyes, which had been filled with madness, suddenly became numb and empty.

In the midst of the struggle for control with [Filin], [Fino] spared less than half of her attention to crush [Kamaitachi]'s soul.

The body of the Kamaitachi is still full of life, but the puzzle of its soul has been broken.

The storm, out of control, erupted directly in the hands of the white rat.

The wind, now free, immediately began to celebrate wildly, unleashing all the anger it had felt from being enslaved in the past upon its master.

[Kamaitachi] made no attempt to defend itself and was instantly shattered by its own power.

This storm was uncontrolled; instead of being compressed into wind blades, it transformed into a continuous gale, disrupting everything.

Although the gale of this magnitude was strong, it could not cause fatal injuries to the people, but no one could fight against it. Everyone was blown into the air and tossed about in the raging wind.

"The God of Thieves" cursed under his breath, gripping the chains tightly in his hands.

This storm is massive and plentiful. If you're swept away by the storm, your damage per second will only be in the three digits. But if you insist on fighting it, the storm's damage per second can soar to the six digits.

【Fino】seized the opportunity to break free of her restraints, but was also blown away from the ice crystals by the storm.

She struggled for a while, clutching her head, then suddenly stretched out her tail and pulled back, opening a portal behind her and instantly arriving outside the ice crystal.

Amidst the dizzying spin, "The God Thief" unleashed several wind blades to stop him.

Even with her skin torn and bleeding, Fino didn't waste any time dodging.

The wind blade's damage is insufficient.

Only by compressing all the winds together can a fatal threat be posed to Gemini.

But those are skills available only after rank A.

At this stage, he can only return the way he came and cannot enhance the stolen skills.

Fino reached out and touched the ice crystal. The twisted soul within the ice crystal immediately let out a silent scream, like a chorus from hell.

Suddenly, "The God of Thieves" felt a delay of about 15ms in his operation, and the chains in his hands snapped.

"No! Save everyone!!!"

The merged twins cried out and melted into the ice crystals like butter. The 'God of Thieves' in the hurricane drifted with the wind, yet still stole the enchanting allure that had struck.

He breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

It seems that I was tricked by the illusion just now, not because I lost focus and became bad at the game.

Just then, a voice call request popped up in the background chat software.

Although it was just a small pop-up in the bottom right corner, it still made "The God of Thieves" want to curse.

He opened the chat window, quickly glanced at the message sent by "Humorous Old Deng," immediately changed his expression, and hurriedly typed a reply:

"Thanks, brother. Please take the body back for me first. I'll remember this favor."

After closing the chat software, 'The God of Thieves' looked at the ice crystals in the eye of the storm and suddenly wanted to leave.

His corpse, which had previously accumulated 30 billion experience points, was obtained by "Humorous Old Deng".

Although we lost our battle pet on this trip, we still broke even overall.

Continuing to fight would be unwise.

Moreover, the rune chains have broken, and [Fino] and [Filin] have already undergone initial fusion, and it seems they are about to advance to S-rank.

He had no way to separate them.

Staying here any longer will not only prevent me from gaining any benefits, but I will also most likely lose the artifact.

The boss in the second playthrough won't respawn, and his weapon, [Heavenly Question Without Edge], is a unique item with only one in the world. Losing it would be too costly.

Moreover, the game is currently running offline events, and a lot of people are contacting him to participate in offline competitions.

The competition there is not only risk-free, but the top three also receive a magical artifact as a reward.

He took out the Boundary-Breaking Hammer and tried to leave.

But for some reason, the contradictory screams of Gemini kept echoing in my mind.

"She wants to use these souls..."

"The last spark..."

"Save everyone..."

"This is fucking awful!" The 'God of Thieves' immediately took off his holographic helmet.

Before him was the familiar bedroom ceiling, a world away, which confirmed to him that he was not being bewitched by anything.

"So the thoughts reverberating in my mind are my own creations?"

"But why?"

"The God of Thieves" clutched his helmet, pondering the source of his anxiety.

He had read many other players' analyses, so he knew about the concept of "souls." Although he initially mistook the things in the ice crystals for monsters, the twins said they were frozen souls.

Is it necessary to save souls?
These people have been dead for an unknown period of time, but were preserved by the power of the gods.

Even the fairness of life and death can be reversed; he doesn't think these guys deserve to be saved.

He had a million reasons to leave, but he just felt very uncomfortable.

He simply called Brother Dao, hoping to get some advice from his old rival.

It was noisy on the other end of the phone; Lao Dao seemed to be at an official event.

"The God of Thieves" explained his predicament as briefly as possible, but before he could even ask, Brother Dao on the phone said impatiently:
So you want to ask me whether to fight or flee?

"Escape? Damn it, I just—"

They just wanted to avoid war.

For a moment, the "God of Thieves" was stunned.

He likes to gather intelligence before battle, only fights battles he is confident of winning, and will stay far away in advance if he encounters a situation where he is bound to lose.

This is his fighting philosophy.

Can leaving a battle that has already begun still be called "avoiding combat"?

No, this is called running away.

It has nothing to do with responsibility or rescue.

He took a deep breath, hung up the phone, and put his helmet back on.
