All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 180 The Pirate World, Chu Xiu with Two Lives!
Welcome to the Multiverse Game!

This instance is set in the 'One Piece' world, and the game mode is 'All-Out Assault'. All the 'top-tier combatants' in the instance will appear as instance monsters. For each monster defeated, regardless of whether it is killed, you will receive one 'Imperial Medal'!

[The medal is bound to the recipient, but will be transferred as a bounty to the person who eliminated them!]

[A medal obtained from the same monster, regardless of how it was obtained, will only be counted as one!]

[In this game, if a player ultimately defeats the dungeon boss Im, that player will be ranked first. Other players will be ranked based on the number of 'Royal Medals' they possessed upon elimination; in case of a tie, the time of elimination will determine the ranking. If the final boss is not defeated, ranking will be based solely on the time of elimination!]

[This game features a combination system where players can choose a basic character template and add any Devil Fruit, but they are unaffected by the curse of the sea!]

[In addition to the character's passive skills, players can customize their own small skills; the ultimate skill is always a Devil Fruit awakening!]

Players have nine levels, one passive skill, three minor skills, and one ultimate skill! Level-up points and skill points are calculated together and can be obtained in three ways: First, bounties—one point is gained for every 100 million bounties earned. Second, hunting—one point is gained for every 100 million bounty target hunted, but targets are limited to players. Third, Emperor's Medals—one skill point is gained for each Emperor's Medal obtained.

The number of players in this instance is 108!

Up to this point, we've covered the introduction to this game. Although the gameplay is rather unique, there are subtle variations in the gameplay of each round of the All Heavens Game, so players don't find it strange.

However, the subsequent prompts left all the players completely baffled.

[In addition to the standard dungeon rules, this game adds a 'player boss' mechanism. The player acting as the boss is Chu Xiu, who has two lives. If you can trigger Chu Xiu's second life, all players eliminated after that will be considered victorious, and no dungeon attempt will be deducted even if you don't make it into the top five!]

[Additional Note: Chu Xiu in his first life has no initial attributes, only the basic bonuses of his class template! But Chu Xiu in his second life possesses all attributes and all skills without restrictions, just like he did on Earth!]

This prompt surprised all the players.

They immediately understood that it was because Chu Xiu's strength was too great that the dungeon had "balanced" him. Otherwise, if a player of the same level were matched with him, even if he was a useless character without any skills, the match would become a waste of time.

It will become meaningless.

"Holy crap? Chu Xiu has become the dungeon boss?"

"The fake dungeon boss: Im, who dominates the world, his strength is unknown! The real dungeon boss: Chu Xiu with a second life, who can destroy the world with a single strike and clear the dungeon, his strength is very unknown!"

"For a powerful overlord to become the boss of a Tier 5 dungeon, is he trying to defy the heavens?"

"But it seems the second life has nothing to do with us. As long as we take his first life, it counts as a victory, and we won't lose any lives even if we're eliminated!"

"It seems like Chu Xiu's first life was nerfed pretty badly. Anyone have any thoughts?"

"must have!"

"On Earth, he's untouchable, but in this dungeon, we might be able to take advantage of his first life, even if it means giving him his second. Killing Chu Xiu is something we can brag about for the rest of our lives!"

"Hehehe, even you, Great God Chu, have met your match?"

The players all wore sinister smiles, brimming with confidence, eager to put Chu Xiu's first life to the test. As for the second life, they didn't even consider it; it was simply impossible to defeat him.

The title of Eastern District Overlord is no joke! At the same time, Chu Xiu heard a system notification: [Due to your exceptionally powerful attributes, a special mechanism has been activated for this dungeon; you will have two lives!]

The first life has no initial attributes, only template bonuses, but if you win, you can get ten times the attribute bonus!

The second life has all attributes, but is forced to carry all skills. It can still participate in the game and receive attribute growth, but cannot equip any skills!

The system balanced Chu Xiu.

If you can't win with your first life, you can't take any skills with you in this game. It's like you come in with all the skills, and you can only get attribute growth and the Mark of the Heavens.

However, if you can win the championship with your first life after the nerf, you will receive ten times the attribute bonus at the end of the game.

The section for attributes that can be taken away will change to "1000%"!
"Tsk tsk, to be able to get the system to modify the dungeon rules and create a 'boss mode' just for you, you're practically the first person in history to do that!"

Zhou Wushang looked at the balancing mechanism with a look of amazement.

But then, a look of pity appeared on his face, and he said, "Unfortunately, what the system gives to other players is just a false hope! It makes them think that the game is still playable, but in the end they will find that the boss is the boss, and now you have no chance of losing!"

The two-life mechanism wasn't actually designed for Chu Xiu.

Rather, it was to give players other than Chu Xiu a chance to compete for second, third, fourth, and fifth place; otherwise, if everyone were instantly killed, the game would be meaningless.

This does not align with the original intention of setting up dungeons in the game.

The system's setting of "the greater the reward, the higher the difficulty" seems to mean that after defeating Chu Xiu with his first life, the entire team can win and no longer consume dungeon attempts. However, the system actually believes that even the weakened Chu Xiu is still a boss-level existence that they cannot easily defeat.

Even if everyone joins forces, it will be very difficult!

Furthermore, the system did not weaken Chu Xiu in any way; it simply gave him an extra life so that even if something went wrong and things went wrong...

Congratulations everyone, the real big boss has arrived!
He is still invincible!

"So here's the question: what profession should we choose this time?" Zhou Wushang asked.

The world of One Piece is a very strange world. There is an almost unreasonable upper limit here: even if a top-level martial arts and swordsman obtains a powerful Devil Fruit, he will still be at the top level and will not become stronger!

If Garp obtained a Devil Fruit that grants him "ten times the speed" or "ten times the strength," wouldn't that be incredibly powerful?
However, if you obtain it, your strength will almost never improve.

Everything hinges on the premise that "even the most powerful person cannot fight against two top-tier experts at the same time," except for the mysterious Im and the protagonist, the "Sun God."

Therefore, this is a world where the combat system has collapsed and is almost illogical.

Choosing a template and a growth path becomes very difficult.

"As for the fruits, the Gum-Gum Fruit is in a league of its own, but whether a player can awaken it into the 'Sun God,' and how strong it will be after awakening, is hard to say! The other fruits that couldn't be awakened by the natives, what kind of power they would have in the hands of a player is also unknown!" Chu Xiu thought for a moment and said, "As for the character template, the sit-up passive seems to be the strongest, but since players don't have an invincibility cheat, how effective it will actually be is still debatable!"
