Without a second's hesitation, the apostle raised his hands and activated the backup plan.

"Then let's fight."

"Then, burn it."

"Then let there be rivers of blood."

As the humming sounded, the black building beneath his feet began to crumble, and a red light like sticky blood emerged, appearing to devour the black outer wall of the building.

【Fight, burn, bleed】

The death arena, which had been silent just now, was filled with a uniform sound. The sound was violent and low, and no personal emotions could be heard anymore.

You have to know that the audience will curse and cheer, but at this moment they are like a tape recorder, repeating this sentence over and over again.

This is much stronger than simple cheering. Hundreds of thousands of people are saying the same thing and expressing the same desire.

With the cheers, this desire was focused on the ring, and the rapid breathing suddenly stopped.

......

"Is this ever going to end?"

Zhang Jin just crawled out of the rubble and adjusted his cracked sunglasses. He had torn away too much of his soul and his head ached as if it was about to split open. His face looked extremely ugly.

He hadn't even had time to collect the body of his dead brother when his heart stopped beating at the unanimous shouting.

There was no return, which meant that killing Adam did not win the championship, and even the wall of light had not fallen, and the death battle was far from over!

The worst outcome was almost hopeless even for him, but the ring still existed and the mysterious apostle showed his fangs.

Although he didn't know what it wanted to do, Zhang Jin, a veteran player, understood after seeing the buildings turn from pitch black to blood red.

The final secret is about to be revealed.

The final battle is just an appetizer, this scene is the core of the dungeon, but the main task is not just "discovery".

Zhang Jin perked up and looked around, his expression becoming increasingly grim.

Kaguya had returned, but like Hayasaka Ai, she was exhausted. Over an hour of fighting had exhausted all her resources. Looking ahead, Yuuki was kneeling on the ground, as silent as a corpse.

It's over. He has run out of cards.

If Yuki was revived instantly with full health, he would feel better, but now his last fantasy was shattered.

"I, a jerk, really expected the worst."

Yuki slowly raised his head, his eyes full of helplessness. He had no time to rest, and he didn't even have the energy to savor the fierce battle just now.

He felt like a jinx, saying that the 'champion' had problems, and it turned out that there really were problems. Now the answer is revealed:

The strongest one is the champion, what a clever play on words.

Discovering and verifying the final secret is truly a hidden danger.

There was something wrong with both tips. A familiar smell came over, sending chills down my spine.

"Calm down. I have more cards now than I did during Bloodthirsty Red Moon. Besides, didn't the last time the Samsara Game tried to kill me fail?"

Forcing himself to remain calm, Yuki looked up and saw that the originally cloudless blood-red sky was now covered with ripples.

This phenomenon appeared when dealing with Adam, but Adam's threat was too great, so Yuki didn't even have the energy to think, let alone deal with it.

But fortunately, this was a team attack, and he concentrated on fighting while someone was always keeping an eye on the sky.

"Mr. Yuuki, this ripple appeared when the battle began, reached its limit when Adam was at his most violent, and then slowly subsided because you defeated him. But just now, it began to shake again, and is rising weakly with the shouting."

Hiyori's words were concise and to the point, and each word was full of fatigue.

"I see. The pattern is obvious. It changes with your mood." Yuki exhaled, his words calm and indifferent. "How far have you two progressed?"

"Almost done. Senior's special ability can still be maintained for a few minutes. She's going to add more chips." Hiyori spoke as quickly as possible, and finally muttered to herself, "Sure enough, there's something wrong with this arena. You eliminated Adam, but the light wall didn't fall."

"It's as expected. Besides us players, there are tens of thousands of people in the arena. This fatal fight won't end with Adam's death."

"What do you say? What should we do now?"

"Wait, and then gamble. If he doesn't come and kill me himself, that's half the bet won."

Yuki's voice was weak, but firm as steel. After making so many preparations, he would survive to the end.

"Be careful and wait for my signal." The pain in his body made Yuuki more sober. Killing Adam took away a huge amount of soul energy, which replenished the dried-up demon heart, so that he could activate the regeneration tail and piece together his almost broken body.

He slowly stood up and glanced at the huge corpse kneeling on the ground with its eyes wide open. Even in death, the monster Adam was still scary.

The body was incomplete, with almost all the muscles peeled off, revealing a metallic skeleton, like a broken robot.

Yuki said nothing and had no time to express his emotions. The supplies in the storage space had just run out, so he simply stuffed the entire body in there.

This Adam is full of treasures. As for which ones can be used, I will study them slowly when I return.

"Come over here, let's discuss it." He waved his hand, and the three of them came over immediately. Because the horrific wounds on Yuki's body healed quickly, his complexion finally looked better.

There is no doubt that Yuuki is the backbone, but neither Kaguya, Hayasaka nor Zhang Jin have any feeling of surviving a disaster. They seem a little confused, or have lost control of the future.

He had no idea what to do next or how to return, and just stared blankly at Yuki.

"Zhang Jin, activate the 'Thinker Field'. Don't you notice that the atmosphere is not right?"

Yuki reminded them that the orderly shouting had been repeated ten times, the air was gradually becoming hot, and their heartbeats and breathing were accelerating. They originally thought it was the aftermath of the war, but after being reminded of this, they gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Okay." Zhang Jin suddenly created a sculpture of a 'Thinker'. After it started up, a golden halo covering hundreds of square meters appeared on the ground.

The aura not only resists negative states, but also makes the mind more agile.

His heartbeat and breathing suddenly stabilized. Zhang Jin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up: "No wonder you didn't let me use it."

"The good stuff has to be saved for last. Didn't you notice? The enthusiasm before was far less fierce than in the ring."

"I found it, but I thought it was because the area was too large." Zhang Jin explained and listened carefully. "It seems my guess was wrong."

The uniform voices seemed to be coming from far away, becoming louder and clearer. This made Zhang Jin and others puzzled, not knowing what the apostle was going to do.

The light curtain did not dissipate, and the players were still trapped in the city. It didn't come out to harvest, and these shouts did not sound like cheers.

Inside the halo, thinking speed is faster than usual and more difficult to control. Zhang Jin glanced at Yuki who had an expressionless face and finally couldn't help it.

"You're so calm? Don't you realize that the difficulty of this damn dungeon is off?"

"Even if we ignore the sudden factor of Adam, eight teams of players died and only a few kittens were left. That's fine, but they can't return. Do they have to beat that apostle?"

Yuki looked at the other person with some pity, and wanted to say that you were shot while lying down, and Adam was not a sudden factor, he was coming for me.

But he couldn't say it out loud, for he was afraid that the player, whose soul was already weakened, would die on the spot.

"It's not as exaggerated as you think. The focus is on that apostle." Yuki could only comfort him. He was concentrating on finding a way to survive.

"You mean, its target is not the player?" Hayasaka Ai reacted immediately and knew that Hiyori and Yuuki had made a lot of guesses.

"If he were simply the boss, he would have jumped down and killed us long ago. We are exhausted now. As long as he doesn't actively kill us, there must be a chance."

Yuki's words made everyone relax a little. They were now trapped in the city center and there was nothing they could do except continue waiting.

But the wait did not last too long, only two minutes, and Kaguya Shinomiya, who was wearing a bandage on her head, raised her hand tremblingly.

"You, you guys look quickly."

Without looking back, Yuki had already seen that the outer walls of the eight buildings had disappeared, revealing a spectacular mountain of skulls. Even though he was more than ten kilometers away, he could still see the densely packed skulls.

What is this going to do?

Yuuki didn't understand, even if he already knew what was inside the black building, that it was the skulls collected by the killing cycle, with the information sorted out by Hiyori, how many years would it take to gather such a spectacular sight.

Eight mountains, eight death arenas.

Yuuki looked around, predicting that some ritual was about to be completed. At the same time, the orderly voices became more intense.

【Fight, burn, bleed】

This caused some kind of shock, causing the ruins to collapse, and even the halo began to vibrate.

"Oh no, the mental shock is about to reach the critical point!" Zhang Jin growled. He saw that the halo on the ground was shrinking, and it was hard to imagine what it would be like if he stood outside the field.

"Everyone come closer and take a sip of the Drops of Tranquility." Yuki took out a small bottle. He had been beaten by Adam before, but he resisted the urge to drink it, just for this moment.

What will it look like outside the realm?

He immediately understood after looking around. The citizens who were constantly being reborn in the ruins stood up and rushed around frantically without saying a word.

They bit with their teeth, punched with their fists, or picked up bricks to kill the people around them until their flesh and brains were splattered everywhere.

The city suddenly became noisy and lively. The dead were reborn again, killing each other and being torn to pieces.

Fortunately, several people were standing at the center of the decisive battle. The surrounding creatures had long been killed by the aftermath, but there were still bloody remains rushing here.

They ran stumblingly, and were knocked down from time to time by their own kind who rushed out from the side. Then the winners continued to fight, and the cycle continued.

Everyone went crazy, as if they had returned to the bloodthirsty red moon, except that countless zombies were fighting each other.

boom!

Gunshots rang out, blowing up the heads of several citizens who rushed forward, but they were far stronger than zombies, and Deathstroke in normal shooting mode could not stop them at all.

"Don't move, stay where you are and wait and see."

Yuki held back Kaguya who wanted to occupy the commanding heights. Even with the Serene Dew, she couldn't last more than a few minutes out of this area. Of course, the halo under her feet was also shrinking.

The cycle of killing has a price and cannot last forever, so the next change will happen soon.

Yuki remained calm, his vision completely dyed blood red. All he saw was fighting and blood. Both the citizens and the more powerful cult members were immersed in the slaughter.

kill! kill! kill! !

Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!!

The whimpering and the sound of flesh colliding mixed with the hot wind blew into my ears, turning the fingers holding the knife white.

If it were his heyday, Yuki would have been unable to resist joining in on the feast, and before he knew it, he felt a soft and warm touch under his feet.

In less than ten minutes, blood flowed like a river and corpses piled up like a sea in the physical sense, and then as the killing continued, the corpses accumulated by the second.

"Are they going to self-destruct the copy?" Yuki noticed that the river of blood under his feet had not yet reached his ankles. Even Kaguya and Zhang Jin joined the defense, one holding a bow and the other holding a gun, shooting the citizens who had no enemies left after killing their own kind.

This amount of time is far from enough for the skills to cool down. I just defeated Adam and couldn't stop the endless enemies at all. They were getting closer and closer until they reached the edge of the halo.

Swah——

Yuki knocked it down with a single blow, kicked the corpse out of the halo, and discovered that the city was becoming increasingly chaotic.

Fires were everywhere, illuminating the figures of people fighting desperately. Fortunately, most of them were killing each other and did not rush in together.

I take back what I said before. This is not a zombie, this is a madman who does not distinguish between friend and foe.

Yuki bit his lip and realized that there was no purpose at all. They just wanted to fight, to make rivers of blood and seas of corpses.

"Yuki, why don't we take action yet!?" Mai simply called out the name, and you can imagine how anxious she was.

The audience is indeed the key; they instigated the massacre and must be eliminated if the ritual is to be stopped.

But at the same time, if they dared to stop them, the furious apostles would kill them both within a minute.

"Then I can only watch, and there's no guarantee I'll be able to return."

Yuuki didn't answer and looked around again.

Amidst the ruins, there were chaotic figures everywhere, killing each other in every way imaginable to humans.

A little further away, the huge light curtain representing the arena did not fall, as if the battle between Yuki and Adam was just a dessert, and the killing of tens of thousands of people was the main course.

He raised his head again, and the ripples in the sky became more obvious. He switched to the demon's vision, and closed his eyes again because of the pain.

It's hard to look at and hard to describe.

Yuki covered his head, which felt like it was about to explode, and knelt on one knee in the sea of ​​blood. He asked through gritted teeth, "How is it going on in the arena?"

"The audience is disappearing, about one-tenth of the number. Our guess is correct, and they are the price of the cycle."

It is correct but useless and cannot solve the problem at hand at all.

"Let me think about it, think about it again." Yuki looked at his watch, looked at the sky, and then looked at Adam's mutilated body.

If this is a ritual, the apostles can do it at any time. There is no reason to force me to endure and let me fight Adam. Wait -

Yuki suddenly looked towards the eight mountains of skulls gathered at the top of the mountain and saw a few heads that had not yet rotted.

Seeds, players, why are they necessary options? Why do ripples appear, gradually calm down, and suddenly reach a climax again?

Column, apostle, gaze, champion, killing, sea of ​​blood.
