Chapter 379: Pre-War Preparations
"What did you say!"
Aisha and Karene both looked at Dio in shock, unable to believe what they had just heard. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"Alright, you all calm down."
Dio said calmly: "That's the truth, because Kalian's fourth brother Carlos was very decisive in killing his ally, that is, Kalian's sixth sister Kalei, so the heirs who are out of the game have reached three. β
"In this way, the purpose of the first round of trials has been achieved, so this battle will naturally end early."
"Next, all you have to do is prepare for the next round of trials......
"What a joke!"
Aisha pouted dissatisfiedly: "Sister Karen and I have fortunately made a lot of plans around how to defend next!" And now you're telling me that these plans are useless? β
"Alright, Alright, Aisha! These plans are just no longer useful, but we can still use them as reference materials in the future! Our efforts are by no means meaningless. β
Karen, who had a goal, calmed down one step earlier than Aisha, hugged Aisha, she gently patted Aisha's back, and then said to Dio: "Can you tell me more about how Sister Caret died?" β
"What I know is just an approximation."
Dio shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "It is said that just after getting the news that you had defeated Kerth, that Carlos invited CarrΓ© to meet in the name of discussing how to fight Caro. Then, he hinted at the need to keep what CarrΓ© was going to say next a secret, and asked CarrΓ© to take the initiative to let the guards retreat outside the door. β
"In the process, in order to gain CarrΓ©'s trust, Carlos also asked his chief of guard, Paul, to leave, but one of the killers he had arranged in the room in advance stayed."
"The rest was easy, Carlos easily caught CarrΓ©'s attention, and then let his killer easily kill CarrΓ©, who was almost unsuspecting."
Hearing this, Kalian couldn't help frowning: "...... Something is wrong, Sister Caret is usually very cautious, how could she fall into such a trap so easily? β
"Combined with her alliance with Carlos, this sister of yours should trust that Carlos very much."
Aisha, who was held in Kalian's arms, said casually: "But if that's really the case, wouldn't it be better for that Carlos to join forces with her to defeat the strongest Caro?" β
"I happened to get a little bit of information from someone about this."
Dio said with a smile, and as he smiled and told what he had "inquired about", Miss McGonagall, who was discussing something with the other elders, suddenly sneezed.
"What's wrong?"
The surrounding elders looked at Miss McGonagall with some surprise.
As a legendary powerhouse, it is certainly impossible for Lady McGonagall, who has the protection of magic, to catch a cold, so the eyes of the elders look so strange when they look at her when she sneezes.
"Well, it's fine, it's just a not-so-good feeling."
Lady McGonagall waved her hand and said very calmly.
After reaching the legendary realm, many people with relatively strong spiritual power can feel something happening with themselves in the dark. According to Ms. McGonagall's experience, the reason why she suddenly sneezed just now was just someone who remembered her with some malice.
This kind of trivial thing actually happens often, after all, before becoming a legendary powerhouse, Ms. McGonagall also had a grudge against a large number of people, and was secretly cursed or something, and Ms. McGonagall had encountered it several times. So, Ms. McGonagall didn't take it seriously.
"According to the observations of the referees, Carlo, who is the strongest, and Carlos, who is in second place, both hide part of their strength."
Dio laughed and recounted the gossip he had received from Lady McGonagall: "Carlo may be trying to show weakness and then finish off Carlos and Carley in one go." And Carlos probably saw through this, knowing that even if he joined forces with Carley, there was a high chance that he would not be able to beat Carlo, so he attacked Carley. β
"I see......"
Aisha nodded.
"However, the third brother is so strong......
Karen's was a little incredulous: "Carlos didn't dare to do anything with him when he had a helper?" β
After learning that her brother Karen's death was likely related to Carlos, both Karen and the resurrected Cullen investigated Carlos. Because of this, Kalian knows very well how powerful Carlos' power is.
But even with such a powerful force, and with Carley as an ally, Carlos didn't dare to fight Carlo directly!
This conclusion really shocked Kalian, who had been staring at Carlos closely.
"Well, that Carlo's power is indeed quite strong."
Saying this, Dio's face was calm: "In addition to himself, there are ten ninth-order peak powerhouses under his command, and the overall strength can be said to be a well-deserved first." β
"However, he has the biggest advantage in this first round of trials. And in the second round of trials, the entire team, including the successor, was only seven people in total! β
The second round of trials is a standard ring match and a team match with a five-person team. The reason why there is such a trial is because in the eyes of the elders of the Stanfield family, the strength of the head of the family can be a little weaker, but there must be strong enough thugs among the people around him.
And such a rule makes the strength of the strongest Carlo in this second round of trials very limited, so Karen and the others still have a chance to defeat him.
"By the way, have you decided on the list of teams?"
Dio asked with some curiosity.
"Well, that's pretty much the deal."
Aisha pursed her lips and said with some distress: "Although my strength is strong enough, the scope of the ring is too small, and it is very likely that I will not have time to summon a powerful enough summoned beast before I am knocked out of the ring by the enemy." So I'm not on this list. β
After smiling bitterly, Aisha continued: "In addition to Sister Karen, who is bound to play, the other six people are the three of Waldeman, as well as Bird, who was seconded by Koster, and Bart, whose strength is close to the legendary level. The last one, we're considering whether to put Eve on the pitch or Katie on the pitch. β
"In comparison, of course, Eve is stronger."
"However, the environment of the ring match will be very restrictive for Eve, who is good at assassination. And although Katie's strength is a little weaker, the ring match is very suitable for her performance. β
"Let's choose Eve."
Dio reminded lightly: "In terms of strength, Eve with my seven deadly sins will definitely not be weaker than Katie after madness." Also, compared to Katie, who is difficult to coordinate with you in team matches, Eve, who often teams up with me, is clearly better at cooperating. β
"Then it's Eve."
Karen's decision was decisive.
At this moment, Teresa flapped her wings and flew slowly.
"The results of the draw are out."
Teresa smiled and said, "Karen's opponent in the next round will be that Katarina." β
"Sister Katarina."
Karen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, compared to the third and fourth brothers, the seventh sister is obviously much easier to deal with." β
"Don't be careless, Sister Karen."
Aisha, who was standing beside her, shook her head: "Judging from the strength on the books, Katarina's strength is still much stronger than yours." β
Unlike Karen, who even needs to get together with the team members, Katarina has six ninth-order peak masters under her command, plus Katarina herself, which makes Katerina not have to think about other options at all.
"The problem is, even though we know which of her subordinates she's going to send into the field, we still don't have a way to deal with it."
Karen smiled bitterly: "Can you only rely on everyone to work hard?" β
For a moment, everyone present was silent.
Just when Karen was a little helpless, the electronic synthesized sound belonging to Akatsuki suddenly sounded at this time.
"I have something to do about it."
Xiao Chiyue, who slowly floated over, said calmly: "We have no way to weaken or limit the enemy's strength, but we can increase our own strength. β
"Boost power? How? β
Karen looked at the little Akatsuki with a look of surprise.
"Please be at ease, my master."
Akatsuki replied calmly, "I'll explain it to you slowly." β
After Karene calmed down, Akatsuki turned to look at Dio, "Actually, I was determined that this method was feasible after communicating with your system assistant Bart. β
"As you all know, the strength of our mechanical warriors is limited by the energy they have. Without enough energy, even a powerful Legendary Mech will be no different from a pile of scrap metal. β
"So, the first goal for Bart and I is to get enough energy. But this is very difficult to achieve in this main plane. Even with the support of Kraft, who can craft energy blocks, Bart and I can barely maintain our energy reserves above the safety line, which is far from sufficient. β
"Therefore, after a lot of calculations and screening, we came to a more feasible conclusion. That is, a trip to the machine world. β
"Wait!"
Dio frowned and asked very seriously, "You and Bart together have the ability to open the door to the machine realm?" β
"Not really."
Akatsuki shook his head: "Even with me and Bart as mediums, we still need several powerful magicians to be able to open a relatively stable door to the machine world. β
"That's right."
Dio nodded and said, "If you can return to the machine world, you and Bart's energy problem should be solved, right?" β
"Yes."
Akatsuki replied in the affirmative, "By absorbing the energy possessed by those weak mechmen, we will soon be able to reserve enough energy. That's not the point, though. β
"Oh?"
Dio looked at Akatsuki with interest.
"For a legendary powerhouse like you, I'm afraid we can't help much."
Akatsuki looked at Dio very calmly: "But for someone like my master, who has not yet entered the legendary realm, some powerful enough equipment can greatly enhance her strength. β
It's like Kalian, who didn't wear the armor of the red moon, was just an ordinary seven-ring battle mage. But once she wears the armor of the red moon, with enough energy, even if the enemy is a strong person at the peak of the Nine Rings, Karen has enough confidence to fight the opponent alone.
"Although I can't get other people to gain the approval of my compatriots, if I just provide some weapons and equipment, I should still be able to do it with my face."
Akatsuki said slowly: "In this way, if you can obtain powerful enough weapons and equipment, everyone's strength should be greatly improved." β
"In addition, Bart and I also need to install some new parts to improve our strength."
Hearing this, Dio smiled and shook his head, "That's the main purpose of you and Bart, right?" β
Compared to Karen and the others, who were outsiders, Akatsuki and Bart, who were originally residents of the machine world, would definitely be able to improve more than others.
"Yes."
Akatsuki did not deny that he was selfish, but he also gave an explanation at the same time: "With the improvement of the master's strength, our existing capabilities have begun to fall behind a little. We need to upgrade to be able to keep up with our masters. β
Seeing Akatsuki like this, Dio couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment.
The owner still only has the seventh ring of Akatsuki, obviously there is no need to rush to improve himself. In other words, the reason why Akatsuki made such an opinion is probably because Bart began to be a little anxious after finding out that he couldn't help Dio.
Embarrassed, Dio also turned to look at Aisha, and asked her and Karen's opinion with her eyes.
Aisha and Karene glanced at each other, and they both saw the look of determination in each other's eyes.
Seeing Aisha and Karene nodding again, Dio turned to look at Akatsuki and asked, "So, what should we do?" β
"After discussing it with Bart, I thought the easiest way would be ......"
Akatsuki paused for a moment before slowly narrating: "First the master will send me back to the machine realm through reverse summoning, and then Miss Aisha and the others will forcibly open a door to time and space leading to the machine realm by relying on the connection between me in the machine realm and Bart in the main plane." This should be the safest way. β
"Use the contract between you and Kalian-senpai to determine the coordinates."
After thinking about it for a while, Aisha, who felt that this method had a certain degree of feasibility, nodded, and then looked at Karen, who was beside her.
Karen, who knew the danger of this, hesitated for a moment before nodding heavily.
