Knight Asylum

So, Baluba said Gamego was crazy.

The warrior who used to be certain of his fate and made a big gamble left everything to be decided by fate. He numbly maintained his pride under the manipulation of fate, as if he was telling his own destiny.

Starting from the lowest chip, betting everything, and going all in without allowing even a moment of failure, to the highest value chip, and then wandering aimlessly, unable to improve further, the nine-year undefeated legend in the eyes of others is like hell for Gamego.

A communicator suddenly screamed.

Everyone looked over, and U's heart sank. The communicator who was calling up the records of Casino Royale had just finished saying that Gamego's number of attacks and attack patterns were determined by the cards when All in won, when the communicator who was calling up the records of Casino Royale screamed. There was only one possibility, that Yamato Hidenari and Gamego had made a terrifying number of bets.

Reid, who also heard the scream, asked anxiously, "What happened!"

"Red, Yamato Hidenari made a bet two hours ago, and now it's over."

Staring at the cards displayed on the central screen, U held the frame and spoke in a deep voice.

"Gamego's last All-in card was..."

Reid slammed the brakes hard and stopped in front of an alley. He slowly raised his head and turned to look at the alley at an inexplicable call. In the alley, a faint green fire was flickering, and Gamego, in monster form, was holding an alien insect in one hand.

"Royal flush."

"bump--"

Gamego turned his head to look at Reid, tightened his fingers, and crushed the alien insect on the spot.

But Red couldn't hear anything anymore.

The world suddenly became extremely silent. All the scenery in the field of vision was infinitely far away. The thick darkness swallowed up the whites of Reid's eyes in an instant.

【what to do?】

A short question brought about an unimaginable distortion. Countless words occupied Red's mind. The emotion brewing in it was no longer responsibility. Red once again stood on the burning earth. The stinking burnt corpses came alive, twisted their bodies, and grabbed Red's body. In a blink of an eye, Red was swallowed up by the charred figures, and they kept whispering something in Red's ears.

anger?

wrong--

Red slowly got out of the car, gritting his teeth tightly. White air flowed out from the corners of his mouth. Aguru appeared on his waist. Golden arcs of electricity jumped with Aguru as the center, flowing on Red's body, and his flesh and blood began to transform.

hatred?

wrong--

That is……

The shrill alarm rang throughout the control tower.

"Warning - warning - Z-01's mental stress has exceeded the tenth level!"

Seleu, who was still thinking about the rules of Gamego's semi-ultimate game, was stunned for a moment and then stood up with a look of surprise. The higher the level of Red's mental stress, the closer Red is to the ultimate power. As long as he does not break the threshold of the seventeenth level, he will never go berserk. As long as he uses the ultimate power, Gamego will not be his opponent. But soon Seleu could no longer laugh.

"Warning - Z-01's mental stress has exceeded level !"

"Warning - Z-01's mental stress has exceeded the twelfth level!"

"Warning - Z-01's mental stress has exceeded the thirteenth level!"

Almost in the blink of an eye, Reid's mental pressure broke through the limit of the actual test and rushed towards the theoretical limit she set.

Now even Seryu panicked and quickly grabbed the communication headset and yelled.

"Red, calm down! You can already use the ultimate power! Using the power of the Ultimate Kuuga, defeating Gamego will only take two slaps!"

What answered Seleu was a terrifying beast-like growl that echoed throughout the command tower, and a warning that the mental stress level had exceeded the seventeenth level.

Reid could hear Seleu's voice, but he couldn't understand it at all. All his attention was focused on Gamego who was standing there motionless.

This emotion is...

fear!

The fear of death brought about by the absolute pressure instantly snapped his rationality, causing all the nerves in his body to riot for survival.

Red, who had transformed into White Kuuga, bent his waist and rushed towards Gamego like a sharp arrow, his arms swung uncontrollably like windmills, with Agul as the center, violent golden arcs jumping, black replaced white, white air flows between the silver-white fangs, and the ultimate posture of slaughtering Gummu is revealed once again.

The dark alley and Gamego standing in it were reflected in his eyes, which were completely occupied by darkness. The dazzling flames like the sun instantly illuminated everything in the alley.

"Report - Z-01's mental state has returned to zero."

"It's over..." Seleu sat down.

Returning to zero does not mean that it is safe, but that Red has lost himself, and the ultimate darkness warned by the ruins is coming.

Compared to Ultimate Darkness, Gamego's semi-ultimate game was nothing but a trivial matter.

Just when everyone was thinking this, something strange happened.

The raging flames were torn apart by the terrifying wind pressure, and the fist covered with heavy golden armor swung out and hit Reid's chest.

"Bang-"

Dazzling flames and scorching air waves gushed out from the gaps in the golden heavy armor.

Countless cracks spread out, and the umbrella-shaped impact pierced through the back of Ultimate Kuuga like a spear. All the glass shattered in an instant, and tiny, black fragments with blood flew everywhere. The Ultimate Kuuga who killed Gummu flew backwards like a puppet with all the strings cut off, and smashed into the shop across the alley.

Chapter 59: Afterglow Part 1

So what happened……

correct!

Gamego! We can't let Gamego start attacking!

stand up!

His dilated pupils gradually focused, and Red, leaning against the rubble, raised his hands with difficulty. However, such a simple movement brought on a sharp pain as if his body was being torn apart.

The smoke cleared, and Gamego's tall figure blocked the sun. Looking at Red who was struggling to get up, Gamego slowly pulled out his cigar, and without any movement, he lit the cigar with a spark.

"Wait...wait a minute..."

Red reached out his hand towards Gamego with trembling hands, trying to grab Gamego's arm, but before his right hand touched Gamego, he was overwhelmed by the feeling of powerlessness.

In his dying moments, Red heard Gamego's voice, which seemed to be whispering in his ear, or humming in the distance.

"If it's you, you can use the rules of the previous semi-ultimate game. I thought so before, but I haven't fallen to the point of fighting a scared kid waving his fists around."

----

A dazzling red light shone through the long and narrow corridor. Several people in surgical gowns pushed the operating table anxiously towards the operating room at the end. A nurse wearing glasses lowered her head to check on Reid, who was lying on the operating table.

"Doctor! The heart has completely stopped!"

"Pupil dilation!"

"The pulsation of the aorta has disappeared!"

"Call out ice cellar B-35, G-03, K-67, and prepare for injection!"

"Doctor! The human body cannot bear so many..."

"I can't care less now! I have to bring him back no matter what!"

Servi Turia.

Qiao was ready to break into Servier Turia, but unexpectedly, no one stopped him along the way. It was even quite strange. Some people were arguing, some were crying, and some had blank eyes. The doomsday-like atmosphere made Qiao feel something was wrong, so he quickened his pace and rushed all the way to the command tower.

"Hey - what's going on now..."

Qiao was stunned where he was. The control tower was the brain of Serviera Turria. Even if most of Serviera's functions were paralyzed, Serviera Turria's command tower would not be paralyzed until mankind was completely destroyed.

The communicator in the control tower was still working, but he happened to notice the atmosphere in the control tower.

Despair, the incomparable despair after hope is completely shattered.

In Qiao's eyes, the crazy woman Selyu, who would eat melon seeds and complain even if the sky fell, was staring at a display of various ancient characters with her messy hair and muttering some strange words.

"Hey... Hey! What on earth happened? Did something happen to Red?!"

Qiao rushed to the position of the highest commander and grabbed the collar of U, who still had a poker face.

U raised his hand to adjust his glasses. "Red was killed by Gamego once. He is now undergoing emergency surgery. Although Agul will repair Red's body, it will take some time. Emergency treatment can speed up the process. Red will wake up in about fifteen minutes. You can go to the negative tenth floor and wait."

Qiao tugged at U's collar for a long time before loosening his grip. "I won't thank you. Red didn't have to die, but for now..."

"And if nothing unexpected happens, S.L will be sunk by Gamego tonight."

"Eh?"

Qiao was stunned for a moment before reacting. He covered his forehead and walked back and forth for a few steps. He took a deep breath and turned to look at U with a very stiff expression. "Are you kidding? Didn't Red already... die once? The operation should have been successful! Now is not..."

Qiao glanced at the time on his watch and smiled a little forcedly, "Isn't it 14 o'clock yet?"

Before U could say anything, Qiao heard a sob.

"Yamato Hidenari had made a bet with Gamego in advance. In one bet, he only used two chips at most. Yamato Hidenari... lost all his chips, and Gamego got a royal flush."

U's answer made Qiao's eyes go dark and he almost fell over.

Gamego's number of attacks is determined by the number of All-in wins, and the attack pattern is determined by the cards when the All-in wins. If Yamato Hidenari does not interfere, Gamego can only launch six attacks at most, and the largest card in the first five times is only three of a kind, and most of them are a pair, which means that Gamego cannot launch too strong an attack in the first five times.

But now Yamato Hidenari has disrupted the situation, and disrupted it severely, causing Gamego's attack times to increase by who knows how many times.

The most bizarre thing is that Gamego actually got a royal flush. Gamego has never gotten a royal flush in the past twelve years. God knows what a royal flush represents in Gamego's game rules.

"But sinking [S.L] is too exaggerated. He is just one of the qualified candidates, and not the one with the strongest destructive power." Qiao scratched his hair and said reluctantly, "Didn't you say that Red has great power? If he doesn't go berserk...it should be easy to defeat Gamego."

"This is the biggest problem!" Seleu suddenly stood up and slammed the table.

"Red has become the Ultimate Kuuga! But he was killed instantly by Gamego! He didn't even have the ability to resist! We made a mistake! The Kikiru have been in a cycle for the past twelve years! The Gurongis have been evolving! Just like the Gummu of the Shiga Group has become as powerful as the Kuzu Group, the original Kuzu Group's qualified people..."

Seryuu fell back down as if he had used up all his strength, and muttered with his palms against his eyes.

"I'm afraid that even if all of them reach the strength of the En Group, the out-of-control Ultimate Kuuga cannot defeat them. The Qualified Ones... are simply not something that humans can challenge and overcome."

Seleu's whispering plunged the entire command tower into deep despair. Even Qiao stood there, not knowing what to say.

U stood up and walked down from the position of the highest commander, Qiao shook his head vigorously and chased after him.

"Hey - where are you going!?"

U raised his hand and waved.

"Hold a press conference. Even Servi Turia can't evacuate everyone from [S·L]. He can only try to keep the citizens of [S·L] away from the area where the Royal Casino is located. Gamego is now on the rooftop of the Royal Casino building. We don't know when he will start the attack."

"We don't have the time to despair!"

U's voice pulled the communicators back from their depression, and they dragged their tired bodies to put on the headsets again.

"skillful--"

U paused and turned his head slightly. His serious look made Qiao subconsciously stand up straight and nodded vigorously.

"When Red wakes up—"

"He has no obligation to do so. He has even died once before," Qiao refused immediately before U could finish his words. "He can't win."

Qiao was prepared for U to be angry, but to Qiao's surprise, U just nodded.

"Just tell him that if he still insists on fighting, have Embe take him to see Rick."

Chapter 60 Afterglow Part 2

Servi Turia PR.

Asano was leisurely fiddling with the wine glass in his hand, imagining the good days he would have after Yamato Hidenari became the supreme commander of Servatius Turia. Before he could fantasize about being promoted to management, a burst of noise brought him back to reality.

Just as Asano was about to show off and curse, he saw U coming towards him and his face turned pale.

U is not the kind of person who would act on impulse. Since U came towards him so straightforwardly, there is only one possibility left.

Yamato Hidenari has failed.

But how could Yamato Hidenari fail? That operation was perfect! Whoever took the lead could become a hero who cracked the Gamego Semi-Ultimate Game.

Asano couldn't imagine the possibility that Yamato Hidenari would fail, but he couldn't figure out U either, so he decided to test it out first, "Is there anything wrong? If there is anything urgent, you can contact me directly through the control tower."

"Yamato Hidenari's men abandoned the command tower and ran over. Their men left behind a mess that is still being recovered."

Right from the start, U dropped a bombshell on Asano.

"Huh? Wait a minute!" Asano staggered, turned around, took out his cell phone and dialed Yamato Hidenari's number.

[Sorry, the number you called does not exist]

Asano's heart skipped a beat. If the situation was going well, the call wouldn't be unreachable or even the number would have been deleted. U also had no reason to lie like Yamato Hidenari had lost the command tower.
