Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

After asking this strange question, Fan Xiao answered it himself without waiting for Fan Xiaoxiao's response: "Because the highest level of war criminals is only Class A."

Fan Xiaoxiao: "..."

Fan Xiao grinned and said, "Historical strategy games are roughly a microcosm of the human world. Paradox Interactive players will stop at nothing to achieve their goals in the game more efficiently. Their actions include, but are not limited to, trading their daughters, sisters, or even their own mothers as commodities. They engage in large-scale colonization, invasion, and massacre. For efficiency, they can slaughter life on a planetary scale. For their goals, they can sacrifice hundreds of millions of their compatriots to the mouths of evil gods, or turn them into slaves, or even send them to zoos... This is the doctrine of prioritizing the goal above all else."

"Players can build powerful empires, but... who would want to be one of those casualties?"

"..."

Fan Xiaoxiao lowered her eyelids, her gaze sharpening: "Based on my understanding of you, you shouldn't be so overflowing with kindness."

"You've fallen from grace yourself, so don't try to frame me." Fan Xiao curled his lip. "My noble character and high moral standards are beyond the comprehension of someone as depraved as you."

Fan Xiaoxiao ignored these crazy words.

She thought for a moment and guessed, "You... could it be that you're holding a grudge against me for killing your teammates?"

"It's smaller, the layout is smaller."

Fan Xiao gently shook her head and said, "Fan Xiaoxiao, think carefully, have I ever completely denied your purpose and said it was wrong?"

Did I say that what you wanted to create was a completely wrong world?

"From beginning to end, the only thing I have rejected is your methods and tactics."

"Just because the method is wrong, you're going to completely reject my ideas and prevent me from achieving my goal?" Fan Xiaoxiao felt a surge of anger: "In this instance world, there is only one way to achieve my goal!"

"No, no, no, I was just criticizing your method as wrong," Fan Xiao explained. "The main reason I'm on the opposite side is not because of that."

"What is that?" Fan Xiaoxiao asked.

“You misspoke earlier. The mission to save the world is not over yet. I haven’t missed any golden time for saving the world.”

Fan Xiao replied, "If the present world isn't destroyed, defeating Cinderella would probably be considered the completion of saving the world."

"But now the situation is different. The present world has disappeared, so many worlds have shattered, and countless people have died..."

"Now, there is only one way to save the world—to obtain the scepter of divine will and restore everything."

He looked into Fan Xiaoxiao's eyes from a distance and said, "My choice to save the world is not out of hatred for you, nor is it to completely deny your ideas."

"I saved the world because of the dungeon quest, because I am a player."

"I want to complete the game perfectly, get the highest rating, and obtain the highest reward, but you are blocking my way."

"..."

A rare look of astonishment appeared on Fan Xiaoxiao's face.

She had mistakenly thought the other person was serious when they said she had a narrow perspective.

The result...is this?

Several seconds later, she composed herself and, suppressing her anger, asked, "Is this your... mindset?"

"You have your goals, and I have mine. A perfect completion of the game is the key to achieving my goals."

Fan Xiao said, "I can make you a promise—if you abandon your goal here, I will give you a satisfactory ending after the dungeon ends."

He asserted: "A perfect method, a perfect result."

"I'm sorry, but you have absolutely no trust in me!"

Fan Xiaoxiao retorted sarcastically in anger, "After all, you wanted to be a scientist when you were a child, but you grew up to be such a shameless liar who lies all the time. You even lied to yourself, how can I trust you?"

At that moment, she was filled with anger.

Since Gu Hange's death, she has become more rational, rarely gets angry, no longer acts impulsively, and has become more mature.

But this time she really couldn't stand it!

She actually had such a long and serious discussion about principles with this guy, trying to persuade him... She must be crazy!

“You’re making it sound like you’ve never lied,” Fan Xiao sighed. “This time, I’m telling the truth.”

At that moment, countless black dots flew closer from a distance.

It is... the army of this world!

Military aircraft carrying a large number of superheroes rushed here.

No, it's not just superheroes.

Even a number of supervillains have come.

The catastrophe forced everyone to temporarily set aside their own positions and come together for one purpose—to save the world.

"A vain struggle!"

Fan Xiaoxiao unleashed a devastating attack, the Judgment.

Before the black dots even got close, they vanished into thin air.

Those without limitless power and exceptionally high-level abilities are no longer qualified to enter this battlefield.

Seeing Fan Xiaoxiao on the ground letting the soldiers die without doing anything, Fan Xiaoxiao sneered: "What, didn't you criticize my methods as wrong? If you don't stop me, it will make you seem hypocritical."

"I'm just an ordinary person, not a saint. Isn't it normal to have double standards?"

Fan Xiao said calmly, "Besides, this world has already been destroyed by you. In two minutes at most, everyone will perish along with the collapsing world. There's no point in trying to save it now. The key to turning the tide is to seize the Divine Will Scepter."

"You're not an honest person, willing to talk to me for so long... what are you up to now?"

Fan Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little nervous.

She didn't know if she instinctively sensed a threat, or... she was simply uneasy about Fan Xiao, who always seemed to have something new to offer.

Or both.

Fan Xiao chuckled and said, "Don't you have the ability to probe information? Judging from your reaction... I see, you can't detect much S-level psionic energy."

"S-rank psionic energy... just as I expected."

After receiving Fan Xiao's personal confirmation, Fan Xiao's anxiety increased even more.

She had already guessed it beforehand and used the "Book of Omniscience" to gather information related to S-rank psionic power. Although this information was not in the instance, players knew some of it. She had been in close contact with several players and had a general understanding of S-rank psionic power... It was a power that only existed in legends.

Unexpectedly, the prototype of "Destiny" is actually S-class psionic energy... no, it should just be psionic energy that has not been fully awakened, and it cannot be considered a true S-class.

Otherwise, this instance would never have progressed to this point; it would probably have ended shortly after it started.

Suddenly, Fan Xiaoxiao realized something—Fan Xiao possessed two powers that were marked as "unknown" by the "Book of Omniscience"!

"You have two S-rank psionic abilities?" she asked abruptly. "The attack/dispelling type psionic ability too?"

“Yes,” Fan Xiao said, “So… how about betting on me? Two S-ranks, give me time, what can’t I do? My suggestion to you earlier still stands.”

"Heh... If you were sincere, you wouldn't be resorting to underhanded tactics now." Fan Xiaoxiao remained unmoved: "I've already said, you have absolutely no trust in me."

As she spoke, she unleashed a devastating judgment.

As she expected, it had no effect.

Having gained limitless power, Fan Xiao became even more difficult to deal with.

I just don't know what methods this guy used to evade her instant death sentence.

Was it the offensive S-rank psionic energy that came into play? Or did this guy passively "borrow" luck and manage to defend himself?

Fan Xiaoxiao was unaware that Fan Xiao's "quantum immortality" had been upgraded and made the same as hers—this matter not only involved S-level psionic energy but also touched upon the consciousness of "God," and even with the miracle of the "Book of Omniscience," this information could not be detected.

"Hehe, Fan Xiaoxiao, you really are my derivative character, quite similar to me. I was indeed up to something, but can you honestly say you weren't? While you were trying to persuade me, weren't you also gathering the strength to take me down?"

Fan Xiao's tone was self-deprecating: "Since just now, your aura has been increasing. Let me guess... you awakened a lot of new spiritual energy for yourself while we were exchanging ideas, right? And you haven't stopped since. We're both using this exchange as a cover for our underhanded dealings, so let's not use this to insult each other."

"..."

Fan Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes.

This guy... has an amazing sense of danger!

She had been trying to keep her actions a secret, but she still managed to get caught.

Yes, she has been awakening new psionic powers—a large amount of C-level psionic power.

It's not that she doesn't want to awaken B-rank or A-rank, but that she can't.

Her first A-rank psychic power, "The Book of Omniscience," was awakened by consuming six months' worth of accumulated luck. In order to accumulate this luck, her original body was permanently deprived of its ability to walk by misfortune.

Her second A-rank psychic power, "Star Eater," was obtained through a life-risking method—that is, by shattering most of her spiritual essence, she transformed it into luck that exceeded her own spiritual limit, thus locking in her destiny of psychic awakening.

Even now, her mental trauma has only recovered to a very small extent.

Fortunately, she has unlimited power, so she doesn't need to generate her own mental energy and doesn't need to worry about power consumption.

These two A-grade psionic powers were hard-won and cannot be replicated... or rather, it is impossible to replicate them again in a short period of time.

Given her original mental limit, the luck she could generate in one go was only enough for her to awaken C-level psionic power.

Although she doesn't have to worry about energy consumption under the blessing of infinite power and can awaken multiple C-level psionic abilities in a short time, her mental limit has remained unchanged, and she cannot break through the C-level boundary in awakening psionic abilities.

Of course, there are solutions.

She can awaken numerous C-level psionic powers that can temporarily raise the mental limit, but... the power that can raise the mental limit, even if it is only a temporary increase, is equivalent to breaking the limitations of the life level, and belongs to a very, very high level of power.

There is no such thing as Class C psionic power.

Moreover, even if it existed, it wouldn't be very meaningful—because its limit wouldn't exceed the limit of the instance.

The person who represents the limit of this instance is Cinderella.

Even if this method works, she can only temporarily raise her ceiling to Cinderella's level.

Doing so will not only be of little help in this battle, but will also waste crucial "awakening time," thus losing a huge advantage.

Therefore, from the beginning of our conversation, all the C-level psionic energy she had been targeting was intended to counter Fan Xiao's various abilities.

For example, there's psychic energy that can block the opponent's vision, psychic energy that can eliminate one's own aura, and psychic energy that can make one invisible...

"Such keen perception..."

Fan Xiaoxiao looked at Fan Xiao and made a decision to fight.

Fan Xiao, still sporting that smug expression, said, "Don't be so nervous. I'm definitely not as cunning as you are. I've just locked onto a segment of the future... oh no, I wouldn't say locked onto, I've just maximized the likelihood of it happening."

He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's a future where I can avoid danger and remain unharmed."

"..."

These mysterious words intensified Fan Xiaoxiao's sense of crisis!

An unharmed future?

What do you mean?

Does it mean securing a future where she won't get hurt during her attacks?

This guy's combat strategy... is so conservative?

Shouldn't we just lock in her future directly?

wrong!

Where did this guy get the luck to interfere with the future?!

She destroyed all the other worlds, so the other side can no longer accumulate luck by exploiting time differences.

Dark Temple—Fan Xiaoxiao activated her psionic powers.

The next instant, a vast darkness enveloped the surrounding area.

There was no time to delve into what Fan Xiao actually meant.

Even after the other party noticed her subtle movements, they remained calm, clearly showing their confidence.

In that case, she will strike first!

Even if the other party has indeed secured a future where they are safe from harm, given the limited preparation time, such a future certainly cannot be maintained indefinitely.

There will definitely be a time limit.

As long as the attack continues, there will eventually be a breakthrough.

With this in mind, Fan Xiaoxiao stacked up the buff that blocked Fan Xiao's abilities in one go.

She stacked a lot of these buffs at once, which meant limiting Fan Xiao's vision and ambient light, while also making herself invisible, concealing her presence, and eliminating her own existence.

She then unleashed a series of attack skills.
