Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

While such preparations were still somewhat inadequate for a Silver-level deity, the Dark Lord had, after all, perished a thousand years ago, leaving only a remnant soul. Therefore, at this moment, the two sides were somewhat at odds!

However, the remnant soul of the Dark Lord didn't care, because the final victory would inevitably belong to Him. With the Shadow Leader's limited abilities, he could only buy time.

Once he obtains the body of the Shadow Leader, he can continue to usurp the power of the Dark Fairy Tale World. As long as he doesn't touch that damned Alice in Wonderland, he can return to Silver!

Therefore, the advantage lies with me!

……

Zhao Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the old silver coin group leader appear.

Regardless, he still felt uneasy if the old team leader didn't show up.

It's good that you're out. As for what kind of spirit possessed you, we'll talk about that later.

"Welcome! Welcome to my world. You may call me by my name—Dark Lord~" said the half of the Dark Lord's face.

Immediately afterward, the leader of the shadowy group cursed, "Get out of my body! You damned bastard!"

He threatened to fight, but all he got was fighting with both hands, and he didn't seem to have the upper hand.

The Dark Lord smiled and said, "Don't be angry. Soon you will become a part of me. My glory is your glory. You must learn to accept it."

"No! Damn it! I'd rather die than let you succeed!"

Before Zhao Hao and the others could do anything, the leader of the shadowy group was about to perish together with the Black Demon Lord.

After all, it was the belief he held during his two hundred years of imprisonment, and he never expected to be so thoroughly fooled.

He would accept death if it could wash away his shame.

The problem is, at this point, whether he lives or dies is no longer up to him. The Dark Lord is rapidly taking over his entire body, and even if he wanted to self-destruct, he couldn't.

But at that moment, the key fragments contained in countless stories of this world, which were carried by the people below, began to float up and emit light!

Especially Zhao Hao and the Enderman, each of them had more than a dozen.

Chapter 318 I, Zhao Hao, am willing to make sacrifices!

The superhumans who have survived on the battlefield are undoubtedly the elite of the elite, though they may also be old silver coins.

In short, most of them had a key on them, and some even had two or three.

People like Gou Quan and Colt have managed to get one, not to mention others.

The keys floated in my hand, radiating a golden light, and seemed to be drawn to each other, as if trying to come together.

At that moment, a voice rang in the ears of every living being in the world—the voice of a little girl: "Hehe~ Warriors, you must unite! Only by uniting and collecting the World Key can you defeat this evil god! Go for it~"

Everyone was stunned.

What's going on? Where did that sound come from? What are they saying?!

But regardless, this key fragment is definitely something extremely important.

Even the Dark Lord's expression changed after the little girl's voice appeared. "Damn it! How is this possible! How could the authority of this world be shattered? Give it to me!"

As He spoke, He reached out and occupied half of the shadow leader's body. One of His hands, like a two-meter-long black claw, suddenly grabbed, and all the superhumans within several kilometers below felt a sudden pull, almost pulling them into the sky!

That overwhelming, irresistible feeling can induce despair.

Just how powerful is this Dark Lord?!

At this moment, the Shepherd, Satan's Apostle, Brother WALL-E and others had all changed their expressions, because they sensed that this Dark Lord was actually a Bronze 5-star transcendent!

Or rather, the Dark Lord, who occupied half of the Shadow Leader's body, had already reached the strength of Bronze 5!

With just this one move of "reaching out and grabbing," he almost pulled away all the extraordinary beings below the Bronze level.

However, in that instant, the leader of the shadowy group swung his other hand and punched the Dark Lord in the face.

With this punch, it was as if an air explosion occurred in the air. Half of the Black Demon Lord's black face suddenly exploded, and countless black liquids splashed out, like a black rain!

Not far below the Shadow Leader, in Emerald City, shrouded in this black rain, almost half of it melted away in ten seconds! People and buildings alike! And after melting, a large amount of black smoke billowed out.

Although this punch was not enough to injure the Dark Lord, it completely interrupted His spellcasting. Many of the superhumans below lost their footing and nearly fell over.

This is where individual intelligence comes into play. At least a dozen superhumans dropped the key fragments they held and ran away without a word. Others, without any fragments, ran even faster.

They clearly realized that they couldn't afford to get involved in this mess. Now, abandoning the key fragments might offer a glimmer of hope.

For example, Gou Quan, almost before the girl's voice ended and the Black Demon Lord reached out, shoved the key fragment into Zhao Hao's hand, then fell to the ground and hugged a large rock!

Colt, on the other hand, effortlessly grabbed Gou Quan's belt, the two of them as steady as old dogs.

On the Enderman's side, Shadowfist Mary Blue immediately handed over the key fragment after the attraction wore off. Her own task was now insignificant; survival was the key. She hoped her cheap partner would be reliable.

In just a few seconds, the vast majority of superhumans gave up the key fragments in their hands.

A small portion of them were genuinely rational or simply scared, but the majority were driven by herd mentality. Everyone else had lost theirs, so they didn't dare take it either.

In the end, only Zhao Hao and the Enderman had a bunch left, and the Golden Witch's camp had a few that no one dared to touch. The Shepherd and the Satanic Messenger each had two or three left.

Zhao Hao: Hey! Another scene with my partner!

Fatty: Act? Let's see how you act!

The crowd's gazes shifted from Zhao Hao and the Enderman to the pile of unwanted fragments, before finally settling on the Shepherd and the Satanic Apostle.

At this moment, Zhao Hao spoke up: "Gentlemen, we have no past grudges or recent animosity, but now we face a common enemy. Is it possible for us to cooperate on a limited basis?"

The old shepherd simply smiled and remained silent.

But Satan's apostle Johnny smiled brightly and said in a gentle, convincing voice, "Cooperation is certainly a good thing, but how are we going to cooperate? Are you going to give us all the key fragments?"

Hundreds of superhumans stared at Zhao Hao, who laughed and said, "Just kidding, Mr. Johnny. After all, we were just fighting. It's really asking too much of us to believe you all at once. With so many superhumans watching, and the two of you being quite ruthless in your attacks, it's hard to trust you."

“I do have an idea…” Zhao Hao looked around, and everyone around him waited in silence for him to share his thoughts.

Meanwhile, the Dark Lord and the Shadow Leader in the sky began a fierce battle, each wielding one hand. The scene was intense and the commotion immense, with each strike causing widespread destruction. The aftershocks alone were enough to destroy cities and mountains.

It's only because they're far away that they'd be able to escape; otherwise, Zhao Hao and the others would have had to run away.

"It's a bit difficult for us to trust you. I'm afraid you wouldn't be willing to give up the key fragments you have and hand them over to me."

“Then let’s compromise. I’m willing to offer up all the key fragments I have. As long as we can defeat that Dark Lord and return to the surface world alive.”

“I just heard that you and Mr. Raistlin, the Enderman, are both members of the Shadow Organization, and we just fought side by side. I propose that we gather all the key fragments in Your Excellency's hands and overcome this difficulty together!”

The fat man behind Zhao Hao stared wide-eyed and exclaimed in surprise, "No way! Ritian! This key fragment could very well help you advance to the Bronze level, or even take you a step further! You can't give it up!"

Zhao Hao, with unwavering righteousness and determination, said, "Stop talking, Fatty! Everyone's lives are the most important thing right now!"

The fat man stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Hao's arm, dragging him away with all his might: "No way! This might be your only chance in your life! Ritian, wake up! How much effort have you put into them?!"

Undeterred, Zhao Hao reached out and handed out a jumble of key fragments pieced together: "For everyone to live, I, Zhao Hao, am willing to make a sacrifice!"

"Enderman, I entrust these key fragments to you! Please lead us all to survive!"

"Damn it..." the fat man cried out: "I'm supposed to be your partner and straight man!"

Unexpectedly, the Enderman in the distance, whose only features were visible—eyes and mouth—smirked and said, "I refuse."

Everyone: !!!

Fatty: !!! You haven't finished acting yet?!

Then the Enderman, who clearly wasn't a good person, spoke up: "I can survive no matter what. So why should I go through all that trouble to fight for you? What's in it for me? So please allow me to refuse."

Silence fell upon the crowd, a growing resentment rising within them. Were they simply going to stand by and watch someone die?!

Zhao Hao, however, wore a compassionate and desperate expression: "So, what do you want?"

Enderman: "There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Zhao Hao: "...I understand!"

"Clang~" He knelt down on one knee before the Enderman, offering some miscellaneous items with both hands, including psionic beads, psionic metals, herbs, extraordinary items, and many psionic metal coins.

It's obvious that he emptied his pockets and took out everything he had on him.

"Please, Enderman, make your move!"

An unusual atmosphere began to permeate the crowd. Many of the extraordinary individuals were moved by Zhao Hao, and an unnamed emotion filled their hearts.

What kind of spirit is it that a man from the Song Dynasty, without any selfish motives, regarded the survival of extraordinary survivors as his own life? This is the spirit of international transcendence!

I'll take it out! I'll also take out my savings; I can't let Mr. Zhao bear the burden alone.

"Please, Enderman, make your move!" Gou Quan cried out, holding a handful of gold and silver jewelry, which he had taken from Ali Baba's treasure vault. Although it looked nice, it wasn't actually very valuable.

"Please, Enderman, make your move!" several more people cried out, clutching their valuables.

"Please, Enderman, make your move!" More and more voices cried out.

"Please, Enderman, make your move!" Dozens, even hundreds, of people shouted in unison.

Fatty: Damn it, have some decency! If you don't give me a share when we get back, I'll burn you alive! You heartless monster!

Fatty: "Please, Enderman, make your move!"

Satan's apostle Johnny was completely bewildered: What... what's going on? It seems I haven't agreed yet! But, how did I hand over the key fragment?! Wait a minute, that's not right!

Chapter 319 Perfection, Bronze 1 Star

Most of those extraordinary individuals are shrewd and experienced, so they shouldn't fall for this trick.

However, when Zhao Hao and Enderman Zhao held the vast majority of the key fragments, the power of this world began to tilt in their favor.

Those people were influenced by the world's authority.

Even the Bronze Shepherd and Johnny were no exception, although he quickly realized what was happening. However, the key fragment was no longer in their hands, and the appearance of the Dark Lord had indeed made them hesitate.

At this moment, the Dark Lord in the air had already gained the upper hand in the physical struggle.

The black mutation has spread across the body's central axis, and the shadow leader's control over psionic energy and power is decreasing. In at most a minute, he may completely lose the ability to resist.

However, it was during this short period of time that the people below managed to accomplish a major feat.

Countless key fragments came together and were exquisitely assembled into a bronze sphere.

At that moment, the whole world seemed to freeze for a second. The next second, the Enderman's figure began to grow infinitely larger, and his whole body rapidly grew in the sky until it blotted out the sun!

His shadow almost covered the ground beneath his feet.

And these shadows seemed to have stirred up some kind of power, as countless shadows surged out from Alice in Wonderland, filling the entire world with shadows!

In the next instant, the Dark Lord fought back with all his might, and endless black smoke seemed to form a dark cloud that would engulf the sky, while the Enderman used the power of heaven and earth to crush it...
