The armor summoner will not be involved in the event

Yang Wuqu broke out in a cold sweat.

How about just saying it's not important? But I'm planning to do two more shows later. If the background story seems meaningless in the first act, then no one will pay attention to the plot holes I might have set up later?

As his mind raced, the man decisively abandoned the Seven Kills.

As for the sinner, Ekatoz itself is a large prison industry. If we limit ourselves to the seven main actors in the first broadcast, we already have the candidate for the big sinner.

The transcendent demon Salinzhe.

He is a criminal who is despised even by the Nebilis Imperial Hall and is called a "Demon". His strength is also one of the few people below the top level on this planet. As the first act is basically just a live broadcast to sell goods, it doesn't seem low-class for him to be a BOSS.

Ah, speaking of which, in order to prevent the blockade from being blown up by Arcaid's saturation bombardment, there has been no device that can be used to break the blockade.

We have to find Huizhuang and the others to make arrangements first.

Under the confused gaze of all the spectators, Yang Wuqu's figure once again disappeared in the black miasma.

……

Relying on the special energy to suppress the output of the extreme armor, Gray Barrier defeated Alan with a violent attack, and stabbed the huge axe sword into the ground beside his ear.

"You are still a long way from grabbing the golden fruit."

"..."

"Don't pretend. I can still tell if you're unconscious or not."

"..."

"You won't take off your disguise? Well, if that's the case, can you still pretend?"

Drawing out his axe sword, Gray Barrier raised it high, his eyes locked on Alan... on the driver.

To be exact, it is the pole lock type on the drive.

An astonishing scene appeared. Under the ruthless stab of Gray Barrier, Allen used the once-in-a-lifetime teleportation skill of the Qiao family, and the belt around his waist barely avoided the fatal stab.

"How could anyone attack the drive?"

"Not taking off the transformation props was already a very merciful act."

Gray Barrier drew his axe and sword.

"【Great, great, great, great, great general!】"

After completing the transformation once again, Alan, who had just had his mouth open and eyes closed, looked a little embarrassed.

"Even if it's just a warm-up play, that doesn't mean no one will die, right? You who have the misfortune to come here are obviously the victims of the cruelty of this play."

"Who wants to be your sacrifice? I will survive! No matter how ugly my struggle is, I will survive."

"Then I'll let you go."

"……what?"

"I said, what I have to do is to select the King of Star Givers. Since you have not lost your will to fight and survived my beating for so long, it is obvious that you are also qualified."

Gray Barrier put away his weapon and spoke as a matter of course.

"One of the main purposes of this show is to find at least three qualified candidates for the kingship. Apart from me who has already become the king, you are the third one to be confirmed."

"In this case, the play has achieved its most important purpose at this moment."

"If you want to leave, wait for ninety-six hours after the blockade begins, and this place will automatically lift the blockade."

"Of course, if you don't want the people who take the Holy Fruit of the Star to become Star-Givers to resolve past grievances with violence, you can also go find the great sinner I mentioned at the beginning."

"He has the core that maintains the blockade in his hands."

"If you destroy that core, the blockade will be lifted immediately."

"But... is it really a good idea to do that? Let me wait and see."

A rift opened behind him, and Gray Barrier stepped into it, leaving Alan thoughtful under the extreme armor.

……

Returning to the specially arranged throne room, Huizhang saw the thin man wearing a spider mask as expected.

"Yo, good job."

He raised his hand and greeted Gray Barrier.

"It seems that you are satisfied with my handling of the matter?"

The attractive male voice asked.

"Very good. For a non-human being, you have made such a thoughtful arrangement. This has exceeded my expectations."

"But I guess you have a better plan."

"…How did you guess that?"

"You efficiently made armor out of the concentrated crystals of the elements, and casually finished the beginning of the play. From the details, I can see that you are very efficient, and you will not waste time on meaningless things. These two things, plus your persuasion of Salinzhe to join us and help us, only took up one-third of the preparation time. In the rest of the time, I think you will definitely use it to do something more practical."

Why does the pseudo-personality feel a bit like the artificial idiot I made? Why the hell do you think so much?

Can't I just finish the work early so I can have fun?

[But didn't you spend the remaining two-thirds of your time preparing for the creation of predatory plant species? ]

Shut up, Yanxing artificial idiot, and stop using your mind to detect me!

Lisa didn't say anything else.

But He was not completely without answer regarding the other party's protest.

He is obviously someone who knows how to split his thoughts to fool mind detectives, but he pretends to be naive and innocent... I am a little worried about Yang Weiwu's future.

"Very...careful thinking. I really put a lot of effort into preparing an excellent ending for the play."

It took me three minutes just before I came here to complete it in a similar state to when Mingming was on a deadline. It really took a lot of effort to prepare.

"But because it's too perfect, it gives people a deliberate feeling. It's better to just continue with the current development."

First I'll talk about discarding the plan I just came up with, and then turn to completing the show.

"What do you think of the situation so far?"

"The basic goal has been achieved, and the publicity should be almost done. Although many people have the impression that the seeds are dangerous, it does not prevent those who want to make money from the deaths and wars from making extensive use of them. Your Majesty's power will not be used on seeds that have not sprouted or seeds that have hosts. We have initially obtained what we wanted."

"Then it doesn't matter if we end this show, right?"

"... So fast? Apart from the 150,000 prisoners who took the seeds at the beginning, only three-digit ordinary people took the seeds, and most of them completely lost their minds due to poor willpower or overdose."

"The destructive power has already proven the strength of the Star Giver. Besides, the lowest possible mortality rate is what we pursue. The people I arranged at the beginning are almost at rest time."

"Salinzhe? I handed the core to him. Is it really not necessary to tie him up to our warship?"

"That's unnecessary. Those who seek power will themselves get involved in the next incident. Rather than dragging in a human who won't be on our side, it's better to let him dance freely on the stage."

Yang Wuqu thought to himself, "Stop barking, you dog! I'm going to find a way to finish the play. If you drag it on, it won't be the play that's going to end, it'll be your life."

"Then I'll leave the rest to you. Although we arranged for the kamaitachi to record the video to cover up our private conversation, the long-term repetitive images will still cause smart people to suspect."

"OK, just wait patiently, you can have hope."

Thinking that the gray barrier was not a human thing, he finally shut up, Yang Wuqu said softly.

Then next——

The man with the spider mask looked at the screen with the Star Giver King.

The man who looked like he had been standing on a tall building enjoying the breeze.

【407】Play·Fight (End)

[I know why you were captured by the current queen without resistance, and I also know the relationship between you two.]

[If you don't want her to know the truth of that year, then she can be my actor and help me play the role I need.]

[After all, you don't want the naive queen to be in danger because of something she doesn't need to know, right? ]

Recalling what the man wearing the spider mask said, Salinzhe grumbled a little unhappily.

It was a ridiculous joke to think that Salinzhe, the future king who was going to surpass all the Protoss, would compromise for a second time because of a woman.

The pitch-black jumping spider climbed up his trouser leg and ran along his clothes to Salinzhe's ear.

[Well, it's almost done, we can lift the blockade now. ]

"Didn't they say we have to wait 72 hours before considering lifting the ban? It's only been half a day since the blockade was completed, right?"

【It's a different time now, and the goal has basically been achieved, so there's no need for us to waste time on posing. The Imperial Office used Xudora as the advance force in public, and secretly Lu and Zoya sent people over. Although Ekatoz is a border state resisting the empire, and the various war facilities that existed decades ago before being incorporated into the Imperial Office can still be used, they are not enough to resist the imperial army's forceful attack. 】

[It won't be long before this place is turned into a cruel battlefield by some people.]

"You speak as if this isn't a battlefield right now."

Salinzhe looked at the high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete in the distance. The traces on them that had not been completely painted over were the scars left by the battle between this small country called Ekatoz and the Celestial Empire.

The so-called Protoss Trial certainly eliminated the possibility of most imperial spies sneaking into the Neblis Imperial Office. However, when the Celestial Empire, which has highly developed technology and is even hailed as a mechanized utopia, launches a desperate general attack on this young country, can the Imperial Office defend all the states?

"But that kind of thing has nothing to do with me as a fugitive."

【What? 】

"No, it's nothing."

Salinzhe shook his head.

"All we have to do is destroy that sapling, right?"

[If the Gray Barriers didn't do anything when they handed the core to you, then yes.]

"What are you going to do after that?"

[Hmm... let's prepare for the next show. ]

"Again? How many times do you plan to perform this boring drama?"

[How can you comment on the fruits of others' labor like this? Well, I admit that there are fewer explosive moments this time, or rather, the explosive moments are all outside the theater. The people of Ekatoz have too high ideological and moral awareness, right? Why don't people eat fruits crazily for power and kill each other in a bloodbath? ]

"Is that your purpose? To see people brutally killing each other?"

[No, I like the constant heart-to-heart fights between the stylish villains and the heroes. In your words, it's a bit like the holy war between you and Mirabelle?]

"…Don't insult the fight between me and her!"

There was a hint of coldness in Salinzhe's words, and soon a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

"Even though our holy war has long ended..."

[It's no big deal if you failed in dating. Young people should understand how difficult it is to succeed at the first try, learn to understand and accept it. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't accept it, because there is no possibility for the two of you anyway.]

The overlapping voices spoke vicious words without any malice, but Salinzhe, who had been imprisoned for many years, remained calm and looked like he had completely come out of it.

[But they really can't be confused. If your holy war is a love affair between two young people who admire each other and gradually deepen their understanding, like the two sides of a coin, what I pursue is the ultimate heavy field that is so strong that it is hysterical, as if it wants to make the other person strong. Speaking of this, your old lover... oh, the daughter of your old rival looks very promising to me. I think she is also a good candidate for a heavy girl in a multi-person Shura field. ]

"I don't care about that kind of stuff."

Salinzhe said.

"Take your things with you."

[I leave it to you. If you want to thoroughly understand the nature of the Star Spirits and achieve the third integration you seek - the integration of humans and the Star Spirits, without any external force, the success rate is still lower than the possibility of the Great Witch Nebilis and the Emperor Yumerongen suddenly dying. ]

"So, what's the price? I don't believe you don't have any backup plans for this kind of thing."

[Of course I have this. As long as you agree to one of my requests, I can remove the backup plan above. After that, you can use this thing however you want. ]

"Tell me about it."

[Go and try to kill Alcaide. After watching the show for so long, you should remember his face, right? If you really can't remember it, I can give you a beautiful photo of him. ]

"I don't need a man's picture. And my memory isn't that bad."

Salinzhe refused.

[That’s quite regrettable.]

After all, in order to ensure that factors such as lighting met his stringent requirements, Yang Wuqu did not take photos of Alcaide, but of a hairy man staying in his room.

If you meet the two of them for the first time and don't see them both at the same time, there is a high possibility of getting them confused.

As for why I planned to give Yang Weiwu's photo instead of Alcaide's...
