CH.109 Temptation
God nodded and said I hope so.
The powerhouses of the Three Realms then talked about many things related to Noah's Ark, and An Rui did not interject indiscriminately, but listened silently. Speaking of the latter, God mentions the issue of staffing after the reorganization of Noah's Ark.
The entire Noah's Ark can only carry a maximum of 3,000 people, and if it is distributed according to the Three Realms, on average, 1,000 people from each plane will go on board to fight Cthulhu, but the actual situation is not so simple.
Noah's Ark has a core ability that is the ability to absorb the power of everyone on board and transform different forces into the same power, which God has named "the power of salvation". This also means that the stronger the boarder, the stronger the combat power of Noah's Ark, and when choosing the boarder, the strongest person must be selected to board the ship.
In contrast, the average strength of the gods, heroic spirits, demons, and goblins must be far above that of mortals, because the base of mortals is too large.
According to God's opinion, heaven and hell should be divided among some people, and the main world should be divided among less, but this mention was opposed by the hellish side. The Hell side does not think that it can provide enough strong men to board the ship, and this is clearly an attempt to shirk the responsibility and shift the burden to the Heaven side.
Boarding Noah's Ark to fight is a very dangerous thing, even if you are inside this ship, you may still lose your life when fighting Cthulhu. By reducing the number of people boarding the ship and putting this burden on the heavens, you can reduce the combat power of the heavens' side in this way.
The devils' selfish thoughts certainly cannot be approved by the heavenly side. Because this group of devils just now swore that they would do their best.
The two sides engaged in a tug-of-war negotiation, and finally finalized a mutually acceptable ratio of numbers. After removing the number of people boarding the ship from heaven and hell, there are only 100 to 300 people left. This number is reserved for the Overworld.
An Rui, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
"I and the Overworld are willing to contribute to this catastrophe, not to mention hundreds, even tens of thousands, we can choose them. But the problem is that this is not just a matter of large number of people, and quality is more important than quantity. An Rui said solemnly.
"Yes. What Noah's Ark needs is three thousand top powerhouses, and even if the weak ones board the ship, they will not be useful. God nodded.
"I've dealt with the creatures of heaven and hell before, and I've dealt with them a few times. But for the powerhouses of these two planes, there is still very little to know. I don't know how strong it is to be worthy of boarding Noah's Ark and taking on the mission of fighting Cthulhu. To help me gain a clear understanding. I hope that the plane of heaven or hell will elect a strong one. Let me fight this strong man. The strength of this strong man is best at the bottom line of boarding Noah's Ark, as long as he is stronger than him, he is qualified to board Noah's Ark. That way, I know how many people are more suitable in the Overworld. β
Anrui spoke his request and looked to God. Such a battle could help him judge the strength of the first-class powerhouses of the other two planes, and then evaluate the most suitable number of people to board the ship in the main world.
This request was reasonable, and God agreed to it after discussing it with the gods. But there was disagreement over who to choose. At the end of the argument, a belligerent Heroic Spirit stepped forward. took the initiative to take over the burden.
This Heroic Spirit's strength is just at the middle and lower reaches of the boarding level, which can meet An Rui's requirements, and this Heroic Spirit has a somewhat similar experience to An Rui.
"Overlord of the Seven Seas, I am the King of Horseback. Arrod, born more than a thousand years before you. At that time, the world had just returned to order, and I had similar ambitions like yours to take the whole world for myself, but unfortunately I failed halfway through. At my peak, I laid down a third of the world's land. I'd love to see how powerful you are, the king who has accomplished what I failed to achieve! β
Calls himself the king of horseback. Arrod's Heroic Spirit stood in front of An Rui, slamming his chest and speaking loudly. He was very tall, and his race was clearly orc, with sharp fangs in his mouth.
Those who can become heroic spirits have all made great achievements during their lifetimes and are admired by the world. The reputation of this king on horseback is very great, Anrui has heard it many times, and there are even weapons left behind by the king of horseback.
"Very well, I would be happy to fight with you, a powerful man who has been famous for a long time, you can choose a suitable place to fight." An Rui smiled.
"Most of the Heroic Spirits are a group of competitive guys, even if they go to heaven, they are not honest, we have opened up a battlefield here, and we fight there every day, so you can fight there with me!" After Yarod finished speaking, he whistled, and many points of light immediately appeared around him, and then a horse's roar was heard, and a reddish-brown steed appeared. The horses are covered with an ancient layer of armor, and the armor shines like new.
It was on this horse that he rode to the north and south, and after his death, the horse was sublimated and became his companion mount.
Arrod turned over and stepped onto his horse, stretched out his hand and made a strong move, and a spear appeared out of thin air in his hand, and the spear carried a triangular banner on it, and the flag was very long. He shouted and rode out of the temple, his banner waving with his pace.
Anrui immediately followed, and in the blink of an eye, he caught up with Yarod and went hand in hand with him.
"Hehe, the battle between these two powerhouses should be very interesting, let's go over and see the excitement." One of the Heroic Spirits touched the beard on his chin and followed.
The powerhouses of the Three Realms left the temple one after another to watch the battle, but there were also many who had no interest in staying where they were.
"Haha, Overlord of the Seven Seas, your speed is quite fast, and you can catch up with my horse." Arold laughed a few times, looking very happy, and picked up speed again.
An Rui also sped up, and did not feel too difficult.
Both were lightning fast. Soon came the so-called battlefield. It looks like a hanging island, in the shape of an inverted cone, with the plane facing upwards. The cone is facing down. The area of the island is large enough for a battle.
The King on Horseback stopped on the west side of the battlefield, and Anrui naturally stopped on the west side. The creatures of the Three Realms who came to watch were suspended in mid-air, watching the battle up close.
"Overlord of the Seven Seas, let's get started!" Arrod let out a loud shout, riding his horse and holding his gun. rushed towards Anrui, with smoke and dust all the way, and his energy overflowed.
An Rui's main thing to test was Yarod's personal strength. Winning is not the goal, so instead of using the treasures on his body lightly, he attacked with simple combat skills. He flicked his hand, and a burst of energy flew out like a meteor. Halfway through, they scattered in all directions. The division was in the sky with a radius of several tens of kilometers in front of it.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! β
The energy that spread out exploded violently, like a landmine, and each explosion would set off a wave of skyrocketing qi.
The war horse under Yarod's crotch neighed, and he suddenly stepped on the ground, carrying the heroic spirit into the air, and ran in mid-air instead, avoiding the bombardment of the energy.
"It's fast and reflexes." An Rui made a judgment based on the opponent's actions, and then performed the second combat skill. Pierce the sword in your hand straight out.
There was another loud bang, and a huge amount of energy spread. Covering the surrounding sky, leaving no dead ends, it crushed towards Yarod in mid-air. This time, Yarod no longer had room to dodge, so he could only resist.
The mighty energy was like a glowing mist, mixed with the sound of lightning and thunder.
"Hah!" Arold let out a loud shout, raised the spear in his hand, and stabbed hard at the sweeping energy. The power he released is completely different from the energy, and it is the unique power of the Heroic Spirit, which is called the power of the Heroic Spirit, which can also be referred to as the spiritual power.
The spiritual power above the spear surged, spinning up in a spiral, stirring the incoming energy, poking out a huge hole.
An Rui's long sword pointed into the air, the tip of the sword swung in a circle, and the diluted energy in mid-air immediately condensed, shrunk into a storm, and swept Yarod in it. Arrod rode wildly through the storm, wielding spears and stabbing through the storm one hole after another.
There was a loud bang, and Arrod burst out of the storm with his spear in hand.
"Is this the power of the Heroic Spirit...... It's really strong, the attack I just cast, rummaging through the entire Seven Seas World, is probably only six hundred to seven hundred people can resist. An Rui looked at the sky and had a rough judgment of the power of the Heroic Spirit.
These are preliminary judgments, and An Rui also wants a more precise judgment, and the battle of GuΓ² to squeeze out the limits of Yarod!
An Rui's eyes lit up, he jumped high in height, and without even borrowing the power of the dragon pet, he directly attacked Yarod. The two clashed in mid-air, their swords and spears colliding together, bursting out with dazzling shockwaves that shook the surrounding white clouds and trembled on the ground.
In the process of fighting, Anrui continued to increase his strength and test Yarod's strongest strength. Yarod was able to withstand it at first, but soon felt the strain and was pressed down. The twin swords grazed Arrod's body from time to time, leaving scars one after another, but no blood spilled from them. The life form of the Heroic Spirit is no longer flesh and blood, but a being similar to an energy body, condensed by a single thought.
"So strong, so strong, you're really so strong! Haha, this battle is really painful, it's been a long time since it's been so painful. No wonder you can dominate Nanami and accomplish great things that even I can't do, you do have the strength. Yarod played very excitedly, struggling to support himself in the torrent of energy and sword light, and a hearty laugh came out of his mouth.
"I already have a clear judgment of your strength, there is no need to fight anymore, you can stop." An Rui's attitude was very indifferent, and his figure left the battlefield in a flash, and flew into the distance.
"No, I haven't had enough!" Arrod chased after Anrui.
An Rui was too lazy to entangle with militants like Yarod anymore, and used a confinement type of combat skill to directly imprison Yarod in mid-air.
Combat skills. Barrier of the Sword!
A powerful greatsword emerged out of thin air, forming a vast cage that trapped Arrod in the middle. Several of the greatswords slashed against Arrod's body, and if he continued forward, his body would be severed.
At the end of the battle, An Rui defeated an epic Heroic Spirit in a crushing manner.
There is only one epic that can defeat the epic, and An Rui has already become a man of the hour who can be remembered in the annals of history.
"Amazing, he really deserves to be the overlord of the seven seas, the ruler of the world. It is inconceivable that a mortal can be so powerful, and only those human ancestors at the beginning of human beings can have such combat power. God took the lead in praising and even clapped his hands a few times.
If a devout believer receives praise from God in person, he may faint with happiness, but Anrui is calm.
The other beings of the Three Realms also applauded and admired, and couldn't help but be impressed by An Rui, a mortal. An Rui's current strength has surpassed many gods, heroic spirits, and demons.
As you can see from the fact that Cthulhu has killed a large number of gods, the gods are not invincible, they are just a group of high-level life forms. When a mortal is strong to the limit, he can surpass them as well.
An Rui released Arrod who was trapped in the Sword Enchantment, and then said to God: "The battle just now gave me a clearer understanding of the strength of the Heroic Spirit, like the king of horseback, the strong man of Cheng DΓΉ, the main world can find about four hundred, and at least three hundred and fifty of them will be willing to board Noah's Ark and fight to the death with Cthulhu." β
"If that's the case, let's set the number of people boarding the Overworld at three hundred and twenty. In this way, the pressure on the other two planes will be less. God said.
Compared to the other two planes, the number of people boarding the ship in the Overworld is indeed much smaller, which is also something that cannot be helped. Mortals like An Rui who defy the sky are only a few after all.
After confirming the number of people on board, the beings of the Three Realms returned to the temple and continued to discuss other options for dealing with Cthulhu, and the meeting ended for a long time.
Next, it's time to travel to the Three Realms to find and assemble the scattered Noah's Ark, which is the most important thing.
There is no need for Anrui to worry about this, just leave it to Heaven to handle, and only when collecting the two parts of the Overworld, will he need his help. He said goodbye to God and the many beings of the Three Realms, and returned to the Overworld along the glowing staircase from before.
Upon his return, Anrui immediately began the task of determining the candidates for boarding, selecting 320 official candidates from all over the world, plus 30 standby candidates. The vast majority of these people are working for the Nova Empire, and the rest are from foreign forces, no matter what their status, these people are willing to do their part to save the world.
Of course, it is impossible for everyone to have this kind of awareness, and when An Rui was looking for candidates everywhere and visiting strong foreign forces, he still hit the nail many times. For these people who are unwilling to contribute, he will not force it, and even if he forces such people to board the ship, he will not help well when the time comes.
A few days later, Anrui completely finalized the detailed candidates for boarding. At the same time, Heaven also sent a delegation of emissaries to ask him to help collect the two parts of Noah's Ark hidden in the Overworld. (To be continued......)
