I am a reincarnation player.

Every jump in the numbers represented the end of a miracle. Yuki, the mastermind behind the scenes, had a blank expression on his face. Perhaps it could be said that ever since the Bloodthirsty Red Moon, he had no empathy for his enemies.

The enemy deserves to die, and I control how he dies, preferably squeezing out all the value he has.

He stared directly at the Hymn of Courage, watching them constantly escape from the Eternal Night and even approach this side. Their eyes met, as if they were looking at a group of evil spirits.

"Come! Fight me!"

"When I return, I will give everything to kill you!!"

"Kill me! Come and kill me!!"

If looks could kill, Yuuki would have been torn into pieces. This hatred made Emiya and the others unable to look directly at it, and they even felt a little ashamed. If it weren't for the eternal night blocking them, they would have gone over and killed them.

But Yuki watched coldly, watching the evil spirits gradually decrease.

A passionate epic battle? A passionate clash of will and faith?

Sorry, I will only give it to you if necessary, and what we need most now is efficiency.

Yuki looked at the twisted face of the Sloth Bishop. He needed benefits to take action, but the benefits of a passionate battle with him were too small, so he would not do it.

"The eternal night is growing weaker." Robertson held up a complicated-shaped lamp, his voice trembling slightly.

He found himself working with a demon. Even Ms. Murphy, who had a blood feud with them, couldn't bear to look at the miserable state of these minions of the night.

The detection light was put into the eternal night, and the speed of its extinguishing was slowing down. This was a detection method accumulated by the night watchmen over thousands of years.

"This proves the record is correct, but it's not enough." Yuki shook his head and explained in an emotionless voice, "I still need to confirm the details of Hint Five. Regarding the King of Eternal Night, how many times have they been swallowed by the night?"

"Uh, the eighth time. These minions are really tenacious." Klein trembled a little, realizing that his court was as harmonious and friendly as a kindergarten.

The Night King's gaze will accumulate. If it were me, I would let the eternal night continue to drown them, and I would just watch from the sidelines. Hey, He appeared.

A strong energy wave was heard, and the six players who were engulfed disappeared instantly and did not come out for a long time.

The eternal night fell into dead silence. Nothing could be seen or heard, which made people feel uneasy.

"H-They're dead?"

"No, Bishop Sloth and his people are not stupid. They are waiting for the Lord of the Night to appear. This is their only chance of survival." Yuki shook his head slightly and said without Mana asking, "But they can't win. This chance of survival was never going to appear in the first place."

The remaining six players could fight to the death and even take Yucheng away, but he didn't believe that the King of the Night was so weak, otherwise he wouldn't have done so many fancy things.

Is it more like a program? If it were a highly intelligent life form, it wouldn't even take a chance, or even a one-in-a-million risk.

He is mechanically executing the program. When the monsters in the eternal night cannot hinder his progress, the defense mechanism will be triggered, allowing the King of the Night to take action.

Yuki nodded slightly. This was important information. The special conditions triggered by the appearance of the King of Eternal Night would achieve two effects.

"Let's go. Take this opportunity to go deeper into the eternal night."

Yuki called out to the others who were still in a daze, saying that they should watch the show when it was time to watch, and never hesitate when it was time to take action.

"How, how do we get out?" Homura Akemi looked at the eternal night around her and witnessed the tragic plight of Bishop Laziness and others. She also had some PTSD.

Yuki said nothing as he saw a strange-looking monster appear in the afterglow space. It pulled out its torch, causing the eternal night to shrink rapidly and then cover the lights.

"Of course I'll learn from them and keep going. Don't worry, I've already tested the strength of Eternal Night. This bush can be cleared with brute force."

The darkness engulfed everyone, and night monsters several times more powerful than those on the mainland appeared. The red lotus fire ignited by the epic transformation turned Yuki into a beacon in the subspace.

"Sweep them away, return to reality and remove the veil. Move forward for a second, and then be dragged into the night. When the king fights, we can go far into the eternal night."

Countless twisted monsters appeared in the darkness, some as huge as mountains, some as small as needles. There were hundreds and thousands of them, and they pounced without hesitation.

They are extremely powerful, but they are just infinite consumables that slow down the enemy's pace. The real powerful one is the King of the Night. While the latter is fighting a desperate battle with the Bishop of Sloth, he certainly cannot stop the invaders.

"Is this your plan, to go deep into the darkness in a treacherous way?" The red-clothed heroic spirit took out two swords, and the soul annihilation cannon controlled by the night watchman was gathering energy.

"That's about right. Who says you need a powerful soul lamp to go deep into the eternal night? Strength and a scapegoat can do it just as well." Yuki stroked the hilt of the knife, watching the monsters rushing into his sight.

"But this is only part of the plan. Have you forgotten that there is a powerful epic player wandering outside the lighthouse? She—"

“He’s the leading actor.”

Chapter 22: Sorry for the long wait, the King of the Night

How to do?

The night city was still dead silent, and thousands of night watchmen showed no intention of returning to the city. Mobius stood under the lighthouse, gazing at the sky, his face full of confusion.

As a super scientist, she actually found some clues in this short time:

First, the lighthouse is a portal that will send those who enter to another space, and like the tides in the night, the information between the two is completely isolated. All eight attempts failed.

Second, the light of the lighthouse was getting dimmer and dimmer, which was probably due to the erosion of the eternal night, but it didn't matter. When the day came the next day, she could restart the lighthouse.

Third, the King of the Night has appeared. According to previous investigations, the energy flashes he caused could not be hidden from her, and he did not appear for a second time for a long time, proving that this battle lasted for a long time.

How to do?

Unaware of the future, the best approach is to take cautious measures. Now there is no force in the entire continent that can stop her. Using this time, she can not only accumulate trump cards, but also take away the remaining two powerful soul lamps.

As for the agreement with Kisame, it is not within the scope of consideration at all. The current situation is that the more lights the better.

But she just couldn't be safe, because she knew nothing, she didn't know anything about the battle situation above, and could only make rough calculations.

1 special-level Night's Watch, at least 4 level 1 Night's Watch, 1 epic player, and five or six other players, even the group of the Sloth Bishop. If they unite, it will be more than enough to deal with the King of Eternal Night.

Many ants can kill an elephant, and these are not ants. As for the speculation of unity, if she can give up her interests, why can't the other party do the same?

The light of the lighthouse grew dimmer, and the several war aggregates sent in were like a stone sinking into the sea. After pacing for a few seconds, she raised her head.

That perfect face was filled with determination; this extremely rational player had already made a decision:

All in, at worst I can give up some benefits or even share the inheritance. What that pink-haired idiot said about never letting others know is all bullshit. Am I supposed to just wipe it out?

20% participation must be achieved no matter what, and it is impossible to participate by just standing by and watching.

Still as decisive as ever, she stepped directly into the lighthouse, her consciousness becoming hazy, as if she was studying something, and when she came to her senses again, she was already in an unfamiliar place.

Is this the afterglow space?

Snake Eyes quickly looked around and made a judgment within 0.1 seconds.

Only a trace of afterglow remained, and the surroundings were filled with endless night. In the far distance, there was a lone star. She could tell at a glance that this was the range illuminated by the powerful soul lamp.

As expected, they were pushing forward head-on. That's right, with their combined strength, even the Nameless King would be hard to stop. The most troublesome thing about this Boss was that he came and went without a trace and could retreat at any time, so they had to go to the end of the Eternal Night and prevent him from retreating.

The good news is that the Night King seems unable to stop the opponent. These players and the Night Watch are rushing forward like steamrollers, forming a war of attrition.

The deeper into the eternal night, the weaker the King of the Night becomes. Of course, every step forward comes at a huge price, which can be seen from the rubbing figures of no more than 10 people.

The bad news is that this group of people ran too far, and no one knows how far the end of the eternal night is. However, based on a simple calculation based on the range of the powerful soul lamp, this has reached the limit of five or six lights.

No, this should be affected by the erosion of eternal night, but who knows how big the original afterglow space is. How to calculate it without parameters?

Mobius hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth.

"Wait for me!"

.......

"Look, the leading actor is about to come on stage."

Yuki lowered his musket, and just a few seconds before the main character came on stage, he shot and killed the Bishop of Sloth, who indeed failed to defeat the King of the Night.

No one knew how brutal the battle was, or how much strength the players unleashed in desperate situations. In any case, when the Sloth Bishop came out, only half of his body was left.

He roared madly and rushed towards Yuki, wishing he could bite a piece of flesh off him, but the latter just pulled the trigger expressionlessly and blasted him into the eternal night.

The green smoke coming out of the muzzle of the gun was the only trace of the Sloth Bishop left in the world, but Yuki's expression remained unchanged and he slowly put down his hand.

Seven powerful soul lamps. Did she take the lights from another group of players? Their fighting power is almost at its peak. It seems the transaction was completed as I expected.

The storyline is developing smoothly. The only ones who can possess a powerful soul lamp are at least two veteran Monster IV players. If they enter the game, the balance will be reversed.

But there are no scenes for these two in the script, so there is no need to force them. As long as they are not stupid, they will not continue the mission. Yuki even doubts the effect of "Future Diary". It seems that the script can develop smoothly without this thing.

Back to the present, he had taken advantage of the lazy bishops' desperate fight and had already gone deep into the eternal night, of course, this was not without a price.

Ms. Murphy died, Klein was seriously injured, Homura Akemi and Emiya suffered some injuries. Of course, the people around them had no dissatisfaction at all, so this price could be ignored.

It is really difficult to move forward in the eternal night. One has to fight one's way out in the physical sense. Except for Yuki, everyone else tries their best to escape from the darkness and return to reality as soon as possible.

Then let the lamp of the soul be washed for a second, strive forward, cover it again before the light goes out, and be pulled into the darkness actively.

They repeated this cycle and advanced quite a distance. Space had no meaning in the eternal night, and they could only use the powerful soul lamp as a parameter for calculation.

"About the range of three torches. Not enough, far from enough."

Using the lives of the jungle players as currency, Yucheng walked almost halfway forward, then stopped decisively, took out a powerful soul lamp, and created an isolated island in the eternal night, giving everyone a chance to breathe.

At this time, Bishop Sloth and others had been completely wiped out, and Yuki was trapped halfway. Looking back, he saw a green-haired woman appear in the only remaining afterglow.

It turned out to be Mebius. No wonder he was so cautious.

Yuki recognized her at a glance. She was one of the Thirteen Heroes of the former civilization, Chasing Fire. Fortunately, he was used to it now and didn't have any extra emotions because of her appearance.

Things now make sense. That strange biological weapon was made by her. It has strong resistance to the darkness and embodies the essence of the way of survival. It has no presence at all in the early stage of the entire copy.

Besides, if it was her, the success rate would be higher.

"You hide in the night, prepare secretly, and leave all the public appearances to the Nameless King. Even I can only catch a glimpse of your beauty at this moment?" Yuki took a deep breath. This is a very difficult opponent, but the smarter and more cautious you are, the more likely he will calculate you.

"It's Mebius, the 'Beautiful and Splendid Savior,' an epic player." Mana was already browsing the information, and sure enough, there wasn't much recorded. "By the way, she told us to wait."

With this name, Alicia is also a player? She doesn't look like a player at all.

Yuki paid more attention to the camp name and hesitated for two seconds: "Powerful camp?"

"Well, it's a powerful camp. They have a good relationship with Valhalla and have cooperated with them several times in the past." Emiya answered in a low voice. The death of the Bishop of Sloth had a great impact on him. This powerful opponent was slightly stronger than him, but he died miserably without even touching the corner of this man's clothes.

Cooperation?

The thought lasted only for a moment before Yuuki put it behind his mind. As for Taichi, he would not tolerate any unnecessary emotions, and the only person he could trust in the entire copy was Manas.

"Ignore her, let's move on."

Well, isn't it a good thing to have an epic player to cooperate with?

Everyone was puzzled, but having seen the man's methods, no one dared to question him.

"She has more powerful soul lamps. What if she just sits there and waits for us to deal with the Night King?"

"Don't worry, she wouldn't dare. When do you think I first took the risk?"

Mana thought for a moment and tentatively replied, "Central Battle?"

"Well, the Nameless King is the one worth the risk, and His value has not been fully exploited yet." Yuki glanced at the torch beside him. This torch, which originated from the Nameless King, could go out at any time after being unplugged.

The second torch was lit, and when everyone stepped in, the torches behind them were completely extinguished, and the darkness suddenly shrank, but in terms of visual effects, Yuki had taken another big step forward.

"From Him, I received a hint about the punitive. Based on hint 1, Mobius dared not stand idly by."

"But what if she's waiting to get something for nothing?"

"Impossible. Because of the contraction of the afterglow space, she came too late and couldn't judge how far I had moved forward. This is the fundamental reason why I cut off my own retreat." Yuki turned his head, looked at the dazed faces, and nodded into the distance.

"Look, she's getting anxious."

.......

Bastard, bastard, bastard, how dare you ignore me!

Torches were lowered one by one, and Mebius quickly caught up. She had no intention of retreating, so she pulled and plugged them again and again, extinguishing the torches one by one, allowing the two sides to quickly approach each other.

Just as Yuuki thought, without a reference, she didn't know how far Yuuki had gone into the eternal night. Judging from the visual effects alone, it must be very far.

Some things were inexplicable. As she continued to chase, she could already see the number of people ahead: four Night Watchmen, four players, and three Soul Annihilation Cannons. All showed signs of fighting, but—

All of Bishop Sloth's men were dead? They were willing to be cannon fodder? How could that be possible!

Damn, this error is bigger than I thought.

The second piece of bad news was that due to the contraction of the Afterglow Space, her starting point was much behind Yuki. After careful calculations, she found that even if all seven torches were extinguished, she would not be able to catch up with the other party.

"Hey, wait a minute, we can negotiate any terms."

Mebius stopped walking. She had reached the limit of her reach and could not see the end. The eternal night separated the two lonely stars like a moat. The width of this river was almost the range of illumination of two torches.

Yuki turned a deaf ear and continued forward, also approaching the limit of his reach, then waved his hand, asking everyone to prepare for battle.

Is he forcing me to confront the Night King? He wants me to weaken him? Can I win if we start a fight now?

Mebius gritted his teeth. Because of the error in the starting point and the lack of a reference point, even the smartest brain could not calculate how far it was to the end of the eternal night.
