Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 84 The World Begins!
The central floor of the circular plaza slowly unfolds to both sides, and a huge door rises gently from the bottom.

The door is made of metal and its surface is embossed with a variety of exquisite patterns.

Li Xia examined them carefully and found that these patterns had a style that was extremely similar to religious murals in the West.

When the gate was fully raised, it was tens of meters high, and the apostles looked up at the circular archway that seemed to be prepared for giants.

Even though I had seen it once before, I could still feel that extremely strong sense of oppression.

The square was silent; even the resting apostles and vendors fell silent, staring in awe at the gate.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the heavy metal gate, tens of meters high, slowly slid open to both sides.

In an instant, blinding light and red lightning surged out from inside the door, and then, constrained by the hall, snaked and climbed along the door frame.

What appeared before the many apostles was a continuously rotating void portal.

[Teleportation activation countdown: 5 minutes]

It seemed as if someone had turned off the mute switch, and the silence in the square was suddenly broken by a burst of noise.

Those apostles who had already been confirmed to be heading to the world immediately raised their signs high. Li Xia almost couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw this.

The signs they were holding actually featured the character designs of the protagonists they were about to arrive in, making them look like fans cheering for their idols.

Li Xia looked around and realized that not everyone was holding up a sign.

They simply stood quietly to the side, some of them, like Li Xia, watching the scene unfold with great interest.

Hmm. These must be the apostles who have already formed teams or plan to venture out alone and take the lone wolf route, right?
Li Xia thoughtfully withdrew his gaze and turned his attention back to the 'wild' apostles. This was, in fact, his first time traveling through worlds like the other apostles.

After only a few seconds of watching, I was somewhat surprised to find that although the method of holding up the sign seemed a bit silly, it was extremely effective.

The apostles quickly gathered around the same signs, and then a cacophony like that of a bustling market ensued.

Looking for a reliable team for a reconnaissance character with both mental and intelligence stats at +12! Must be good at hiding and harassing, no weak teams please.

"Heavy sniper rifle with +6 damage, long range, bring your own ammo, allocation requirements as needed, anyone?"

"The average B-rated team is looking for a mage with a magic conduction level of 2 or higher and an output spell rank of 8 or higher."

"Looking for a strong Tier 2 tank, along with a powerful healer and plenty of healing supplies for a temporary team! Looking for a long-term, enjoyable partnership!"

Tan?
Li Xia keenly caught a sentence that emerged from the cacophony of sounds, and her ears twitched slightly.

My gaze then fell on a muscular man in the crowd.

The muscular man was tall and strong, and he was holding a huge shield in his hand. The surface of the shield was glowing with a faint blue light, so he was obviously wearing blue armor.

However, at this moment he looked quite anxious, and he kept shouting loudly over and over again.

Li Xia pinched her chin, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Based on past experience in various scenarios, tanks, which bear the brunt of damage and draw enemy fire, have always been highly sought-after and scarce.

But given the current situation, it seems that this so-called "tan" is not very well received.

“I told you long ago, you bull.”

At this moment, a tall, beautiful woman dressed in revealing knight's armor shouted loudly. Her figure was graceful, but her pretty face showed disdain:

"You can't just become a qualified tank by grabbing a shield and learning shield specialization."

"That's right, you should change careers as soon as possible, it's not too late!" Someone immediately chimed in.

"In the last world, we believed your nonsense and actually thought you were a reliable tank."

Good grief, during the battle, the enemy suddenly 'whooshed' past us and charged straight at us.

"Thank goodness I ran fast!" another person said with a face full of complaints.

Hearing this conversation, Li Xia immediately understood. This guy had probably played too many games and forgotten that this was the real world.

Anyone who isn't brain-dead would choose to walk around a large shield instead of stupidly hacking at it.

To become a true tank, one must either possess extremely strong means of restricting the enemy's movements or have excellent control abilities.

This forces the BOSS to prioritize eliminating himself.

In short, the requirements for tanks are extremely high, and it's not as simple as one might imagine.

Whenever this type of tank appears, it is basically an indispensable core component of the team.

The noise in the square gradually subsided, and in that moment of tranquility, the light inside the massive door suddenly changed without warning, turning into a deep crimson color, like blood.

Immediately afterwards, a cold warning sound rang out.

[WARNING! The world of the Palace has been invaded!]

Upon hearing this sudden warning, the apostles looked at each other blankly.

Intrusion? What an unfamiliar term! Someone can actually intrude upon a sacred hall?

Li Xia's expression turned serious. Xu Yuan?
He asked the Hall of Transcendence, and there were no so-called Apostles of the Void Abyss before; they seemed to have emerged in the last two thousand years.

However, the Temple of Light seemed to take it very seriously, and even granted executioners special privileges to hunt down these Abyss Apostles.

It is certain that these Apostles of the Void Abyss are extremely powerful, otherwise the Hall would never have been so generous.

The apostle in the square suddenly shouted, "What the hell?! I was supposed to be the Little Master, how did I become the Iron Fortress?"

Not only him, but many more apostles became noisy, and several figures slowly emerged in the square.

Their entire bodies seemed to be shrouded in mist, and nothing could be seen clearly.

A figure sighed, "I've only just returned to the real world and rested for a day."

The others walked forward in silence, stepping through the massive doorway without uttering a word.

A notification also popped up in front of Li Xia.

[Executioner, countdown complete. Please enter the world and complete the hunt!]

Oh? The one who entered before was also an executioner? Was he recruited?

It seemed the others had also received the signal, and they nervously made their way toward the gate, which was several tens of meters long and large enough for hundreds of apostles to enter.

They gripped their weapons tightly, their figures disappearing into the blood-red vortex.

The familiar dizziness gradually spread, and consciousness began to fade.

When Li Xia regained consciousness, the first thing she felt was the slightly dry air and the warm breeze.

The pale white characters unique to the Hall of Light appeared before me:
