Knight Asylum

Qiao, who was about to speak, was stunned and looked at U in surprise.

Because it was U who denied it just now.

"Gamego's destructive power alone is terrifying enough. If Black Kuuga is added to the mix, the consequences will be disastrous if he loses control. Our goal this time is to stop Gamego's semi-ultimate game. If it doesn't work..."

U paused, sighed deeply, and held his forehead helplessly.

"It is to reduce the casualties as much as possible."

Chapter 41: Just One Hit

Servi Turia Enoch District.

Under the red alarm light, Iida stood in front of a full-length mirror, adjusting his attire like a gentleman about to attend a ball. The Symphony of Fate and the warning from the central system overlapped in an eerie and fitting arrangement.

He has been waiting for this moment.

U is the supreme commander of Servitua. Unless something unexpected happens, no one can replace U. However, accidents happen the most in [S·L]. Although the sponsors cannot replace U with justification as long as he does not commit any serious crime against humanity, the identity of the savior of mankind cannot be maintained without making any mistakes.

U is an excellent commander, but no one can take on the role of the savior of mankind in front of [S·L]. Every day, humans die for various reasons, and so far, Serviera Tullia has never made any [saving] moves. Faced with the semi-ultimate games of the qualified people included in the Ge Group and other horrific and uncontainable events, Serviera Tullia can only evacuate citizens as much as possible, and the survival rate of each evacuation is not high.

Such a result cannot be regarded as the savior of mankind, and the supreme commander of Servae Turia is equivalent to the savior of mankind, so the sponsors can get U to step down in the name of U not being a competent savior of mankind as long as they are united. The reason why they don't do so is purely because the real power of Servae Turia has long been divided up by them, and the supreme commander is just a tough job in their eyes, and it is more comfortable to have someone to do it.

But now the situation is different. U has shown his fangs and ambitions, and U's Knight Plan will bring huge benefits and changes. The position of supreme commander will no longer be a chore.

"Beep beep-"

The symphony of fate was interrupted by the ringing of the phone. Iida smiled and leaned over to pick up the phone. Looking at Asano's name displayed on it, Iida raised the corners of his mouth slightly and answered the call, "How is the matter being handled, Director Asano?"

"We've prepared a press conference, and we've almost arranged with the reporters and newspapers. We're just waiting for Gamego's semi-ultimate game to begin," said Asano, who was tapping his legs and admiring the prepared copy in the public relations department. "Shock - a major failure of duty by the savior of mankind. However, this failure alone should not be enough to bring down U."

"Of course, but it's enough. It's enough to let everyone know that the human savior U failed in his duty to rescue humanity and stop Servier Turia. There will be more and more failures in the future."

Iida opened his hands, took a deep breath, and exhaled with great satisfaction.

Because the Gurongi are always promoted and relegated, they cannot accurately predict which Gurongi will play the killing game next, but there are exceptions, that is the semi-ultimate game for the qualified ones.

Once the Semi-Ultimate Game begins, it means that the participants in every subsequent Gurongi Killing Game will be qualified members of the Kuzu Group who cannot be contained by humans.

There will always be a semi-ultimate game that completely separates U from the identity of the savior of mankind.

"Red Leonardo must be sealed away permanently," Asano lowered his voice.

"Of course—it's only a matter of time."

"Anyway, there is no way to stop the semi-ultimate game—"

The symphony of fate sounded again, and Iida slowly raised his open hands above his head, feeling the call of fate.

At the same time, in the empty research institute owned by Servier Turia, Reid and others were figuring out Gamego's semi-ultimate game.

"Starting from the third year, Gamego's gambling style has changed," Red commented, his chin resting on his chest. "He's simply a maniac."

“All in——”

In the video, Gamego pushed all his chips out generously, and Gamego's opponent did not choose to retreat under the pressure of this terrifying aura, but also pushed all his chips out.

The cards were opened, and as a reward for the gambler's courage, fate gave the gambler four of a kind, but fate seemed to favor Gamego more, and four of a kind lost to a straight flush.

This is a perfectly normal thing, but what is abnormal is that this is the first game.

That’s right, Gamego went all in in the first round without even looking at his cards, and won.

Unbelievable!

What is even more incredible is that this kind of crazy behavior has never failed. No matter who his opponent is, Gamego goes All in without even looking at the cards. From the third year until now, in every bet, Gamego's All in has never failed.

If fate bestows gifts on the brave, then Gamego is simply the king chosen by fate.

"So those gamblers call Gamego a legend," Ember pinched the bridge of his nose. "In theory, as long as you win Gamego once on the gambling table, Gamego's semi-ultimate game will end because there are no chips left to continue the gambling. But this theory... has not been realized for nine years, so it has always been a theoretical possibility."

"Is he cheating?" Qiao said with his chin raised. "How can someone have such good luck?"

"Unfortunately, the Gurongi, especially those who qualify, have a very strong sense of pride. They will never play tricks on their own game and strictly abide by the rules of the game," Seleu raised his finger and shook it left and right.

"Then can't we just close those casinos? His gaming time is only seventy-two hours anyway," Qiao raised his hand again and suggested.

"This is impossible. If we don't follow Gamego's rules, Gamego may not follow our rules next time. What if he changes the game to attack Servai Turia for 72 hours?" Embe sighed helplessly with his hands on his hips.

"We have no way to drive away those gamblers. Not to mention that there are many dangerous monsters among them. Now the only way we can think of to stop Gamego's semi-ultimate game is to defeat Gamego in gambling."

Qiao immediately recalled the tragic scene that Seleu had shown before, where Gamego attacked twenty-seven times. It was hard to imagine what would happen if such a monster attacked one place non-stop for seventy-two hours.

"But you have arrested those gamblers who were hoarding [combat resources], are you going to let them out?" Qiao, who didn't want to admit that he couldn't beat Gamego, changed the subject.

"Of course we won't let them go. Not to mention that they have hoarded so many chips. If they are given away in one wave, Gamego's attacks will increase. Their current identity is criminals who privately forged O coins. Servier Turia will never join hands with criminals who never tell the truth," Embe raised his voice.

"so what should I do now?"

Qiao's rhetorical question successfully sank Enbe.

Right, so what to do?

There are obvious ways to stop Gamego from playing the semi-ultimate game, and even a very high possibility, but they have never succeeded. They even become accomplices who increase the number of Gamego's attacks every time. Every time they see Gamego launching an attack, their hearts tremble, because at least one-third of the attacks are driven by their Servais Turia funds.

"As expected... let's prepare to evacuate," Enbei's shoulders slumped, as if he had aged several years in an instant, and he waved his hands weakly.

"Well...I have an idea."

Red held his chin, tilted his head slightly, and raised his brow.

"We should use all the funds that Servier Turia can mobilize now to gamble against Gamego."

"Huh? Huh?"

Enbei was stunned for a moment and then his eyes widened. Even Qiao couldn't help but grab Red's collar and shook him back and forth vigorously.

"Are you stupid? It's fine if you're just betting against each other, but you actually want Servier Turia to use all his funds to bet against Gamego. What if he loses?!"

Ming Hai and U were quite calm. They looked at Red quietly, waiting for Red's next words.

"Then let's create a new chip with the highest value!" Red let out a long breath, his eyes gleaming with determination, "Combining all our chips and Gamego's chips, it is absolutely impossible to produce a second new chip of the same value!"

"after--"

Reid clenched his fists.

"One strike! We must block Gamego's strike no matter what! It's true that we humans can't defeat the qualified ones yet, but only for now!"

"In order to defeat the qualifiers one day, I must start by being able to withstand their blows and stand in front of them!"

Ming Hai held up his hat and raised the corner of his mouth, while U's eyes lit up with a strange light.

"This is it……"

Chapter 42: The fatal blow

The Servian Turia command platform was opened, and U strode towards the command position of the supreme commander. Enbe, who was following behind U, waved his hand and shouted loudly.

"Move, move!"

"Stop all missions with a danger level lower than that of the semi-ultimate game, and withdraw all funds while ensuring that Servier Turia will not be paralyzed! Yes, all the funds!"

"Evacuate the citizens with Casino Royale as the center and set up the highest level of protection zone!"

"Contact Hongshang Fund and tell them! Bring out all your chips! We are going to have a huge gamble!"

The communicators were stunned for a moment, then nodded and turned around to start operating, but a few of them in the corner secretly sent out several messages while others were not paying attention.

While U returned to the command center, Reid and others began further testing in the institute.

Using all of Servitor's self-reliance and all of Gamego's chips to exchange for a chip of the highest value that cannot be assembled into a second chip within seventy-two hours is only the first step. The second step is what is really important, to take Gamego's attack.

No matter what kind of mood Gamego was in when he delivered that attack, it was definitely a full-strength attack from Gamego, a qualified person in the Ge Group who judged that the disaster was too catastrophic for humans to contain.

In the testing ground, Red, who had transformed into White Kuuga, was doing warm-up exercises when Seryu's voice came from above his head.

"Red, you should understand that just blocking is not enough. Our goal is to receive Gamego's attack."

"I know that we must do our best to prepare the protective belt to offset all the aftermath. To do this, someone must stand in front of Gamego to ensure the direction of Gamego's attack." Red shook his arm vigorously, "No one is more suitable to stand in that position than me."

"Well, this matter is not that serious."

Noticing Qiao's unhappy look, Seleu immediately began to comfort him in a rather unconventional tone.

"When you wear Aguru, you are equivalent to having an immortal body. As long as Aguru is not destroyed, you can live again even if your heart is destroyed."

"As long as? Wait a minute...what if Aguru is destroyed by Gamego?!" Qiao heard something wrong.

"Destroy Aguru? Hahahaha - Impossible, impossible. Aguru is a belt made specifically for defeating Gurongi. The strongest warrior who used Aguru in the past single-handedly sealed more than 200 Gurongi including the En Group. Didn't they think of destroying Aguru during that process?"

Seleu laughed a few times and raised his finger.

"Of course there is, but unfortunately, including the En Group, they didn't even leave a crack on Aguru. Even the En Group, the King of Gurongi, couldn't destroy Aguru, let alone Gamego. So... maybe Red will be beaten to death by that blow, but Aguru will definitely be fine. If Aguru is fine, Red will be resurrected."

Qiao's expression was a little strained.

Although Selyu used the word "maybe", his tone seemed to imply that Red was doomed. "

"Qiao, I'm fine. The most important thing now is to stop Gamego's semi-ultimate game. If... I'm really killed by Gamego, please help me move my body back." Red raised his hand and waved in the direction of the surveillance camera. "You're the only one I can ask for help."

Qiao clenched his fists, was silent for a long time, crossed his arms over his chest, and turned his face away, "I know--"

"Then let's start the test," Seryuu licked his lips, moving his fingers while scanning the operating table in front of him, "With Servius Turia's ability, he can't replicate the same level of destructive power as Gamego, but the main purpose of this test is to improve your ability to withstand pressure. You don't want to turn into Black Kuuga and go berserk before you even take that hit, do you?"

"Well—come on!"

Reid clenched his fists at his waist.

"No matter what, I will resist!"

----

The sudden ringing of a ring interrupted Asano's thoughts as he was rehearsing a press conference. Asano frowned slightly, turned around and took out his mobile phone. He glanced at the content on the screen and couldn't help but burst into laughter. His laughter got louder and louder, and he even laughed to the point of tears. The other people present looked at each other in confusion, wondering why Asano was suddenly laughing so happily.

"Ahem - the rehearsal just now doesn't count. Let's reschedule and tell those reporters to come early. We, Servier Turia, will fight Gamego to the end with all our strength. We will use all our funds to bet against Gamego and swear to break Gamego's semi-ultimate game and deal a heavy blow to the Gurongi Group!"

Asano coughed lightly, raised his hand and waved it vigorously, his eyes stern.

Asano's words shocked everyone present.

That was the qualified player in the Ge Group, and that was a semi-ultimate game! In the twelve years since the emergence of Gurongi, humans have never successfully stopped the semi-ultimate games of the qualified players, and defined the qualified players as a disaster that humans cannot contain. But now Asano wants them to prepare a press release to announce that they are determined to defeat Gamego's semi-ultimate game? And they are using all of Servius Turia's funds to challenge Gamego, the legend of the casino, who has never been defeated in nine years and is like the king chosen by fate?

Just crazy!

The number of Gamego's attacks is determined by the number of highest chips. If all of Serviera's funds are really bet and Gamego still wins, then the number of highest chips in Gamego's hand will reach a very terrifying number. They can't even imagine how much damage this will cause.

Not only did it drain the funds of Servile Turia, but it also caused the damage to the Gamego Semi-Ultimate Game, which ranked the lowest among the qualifiers, to expand to an unimaginable extent. Even if the funders wanted to save U [S·L], the citizens would not allow it and would definitely protest and demand U's resignation.

and many more?

Finally someone reacted, stood up suddenly and stared at Asano who was still laughing with disbelief on his face.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Asano looked down at the man who stood up, his voice suddenly became extremely cold, "Do you have any better suggestions? Tell me about it?"

The others turned their heads to look over. The man swallowed hard, held onto the table and slowly sat back down. “I, I don’t have any objection.”

"If you don't have any opinions... why are you still sitting here!?"

Asano suddenly raised his voice, and the others stood up and ran out like frightened birds. The ones who contacted the reporters contacted the reporters, the ones who contacted the venue contacted the venue, and the ones who edited the copyedited the copyedit. Asano hummed with satisfaction, sat back and crossed his legs.

"Such a big flaw appeared at the very beginning. It really saved me a lot of trouble."

Asano thought about it and picked up the phone again.

He needs to announce the good news.

"Ok?"

Chapter 43: Don’t be a coward when playing! Don’t be a coward when playing!

The soft sunlight was shining, and golden leaves were falling in front of the church. People with tired and empty eyes walked into the old classroom next to the church in groups of two or three. The tables and chairs in the classroom were piled on both sides, and ten chairs formed a circle in the middle of the classroom with a safe distance from each other.

People sat dejectedly on the chairs. Some of them were missing an eye, some were missing an arm or a leg, and some had half of their faces covered with terrible scars and looked extremely depressed.

Along with the sound of heavy footsteps, a tall figure appeared in the classroom. He was wearing a German military uniform similar to that of the World War II era. He stood straight with his hands behind his back, like a general attending a military parade. He was completely different from those people who were sitting in the chairs listlessly, as if they had come to the wrong place.

But those who had already sat down were not surprised, and some even waved to the man, and the man naturally sat on the only chair facing the door.

"Then... who will start?" The man whose half face was engulfed by terrible scars raised his hand and waved.

"Then let me start with myself. I recently fell in love with a girl from the Tooth Ghost Tribe. I am willing to die for her, but before that, the girl was killed by the Tooth Ghost Tribe's queen because she expressed her feelings to me." The gray-haired young man hung his hands at his sides. "I asked the queen to kill me, but she refused because they don't care about humans..."

The young man lowered his head and said no more. Everyone knew that this was all he wanted to say. Another person slowly started talking about his own story.

"My teacher has turned into a phantom demon."

"I discovered that my girlfriend, who I've been living with for three months, is a Zerg."
