Chapter 171: World Sovereignty
His words came out, attracting the attention of the other players.
The number of players who enter at the start of the quest is 91.
The number of dead players is 43, the number of surviving players is 18, and the rest of the players have been forcibly disengaged.
Of the players who survived, 12 were from the Light Camp and 6 were from the Dark Camp.
This numerical disparity has proven that the dark faction is inherently weaker than the light faction, or is it ...... Difficult to survive.
"The difficulty of the dark camp is extremely high, and you need to make sure that you don't disappear, either kill people or complete tasks."
Spicy stir-fried cabbage explained.
The Light Faction player said, "This side of the Light Faction...... There is no task guidance at all, so I can only pick up newspapers everywhere and water some flowers and plants. β
So...... How did Ian conclude the clues in his mouth?
They looked at Ian.
The statue of the king is too powerful to kill him at night.
But the players of the light camp at night have no combat effectiveness, and relying on the players of the dark camp alone is simply bound to lose.
They expect a solution from Ian.
Ian thought quickly and sorted out the available information in his mind:
"The information in the copy was split into two parts by the Wolf of Split, one light and one dark."
"At the moment we know that the Nation of Light is all right, they have power, but they are ignorant. They don't know that the Shadow Nation is preparing for an invasion. β
"And the invasion of the Shadow Country, it is clear that it has failed."
Ian takes out the Crown of Shadows:
"The crown of the King of the Shadow Nation is in my hand, and he also has an attack ability similar to the Crown of Light."
"He can compete with the Crown of Light."
"But."
Ian paused.
All the players frowned slightly, and sighed with a spicy fried cabbage:
"But here's the thing...... Due to the defeat of the Shadow Nation, the Shadow Crown was sealed by the King of the Land of Light, and unless the King is killed, the Shadow Crown is equal to a scrap. β
While Ian is exploring intelligence.
Spicy Stir-fried Cabbage is completing a quest in the Dark Camp, where he obtains the Chaos Gem.
A cloudy black and white gemstone that glows gray.
"This is the Chaos Gem, I don't know what he does, but he's the target of my special mission."
Ian looked.
Name: Chaos Gem
[Source: Scourge Wolf of Split]
[Effect: Activated by specific means, everything will be split and restored to its original appearance.] γ
[Description: A gemstone that represents the origin.] γ
Light and darkness, cut by the wolf of the split, inadvertently created this gemstone.
It's like a save that players can read, but what's the point?
Moreover...... The ability to read files also requires specific means.
But under the terrifying cutting ability of the Wolf of Splitting, even the background of the dungeon was split in two.
Ian took a deep breath as he reflected on the nature of this natural disaster:
"A natural disaster that symbolizes division...... Equality hates all ......"
"Equality?"
Ian had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and due to limited information, he could only understand part of the plot of the dungeon.
But from the very beginning, he had some feeling that the Land of Light and the Land of Shadow seemed to imply something.
'Why does the Land of Light have the power to live in peace and contentment without doing anything every day? β
'The people of the Dark Realm didn't even exist at first, they were the shadows of people, they existed after they were divided......
They have no power, no power, and they are part of man, but they are not considered man. β
Got it.
Ian clenched his fists: "Balance! The two countries are unbalanced, and the wolf of division should not make such a mistake! β
The essence of the Scourge Wolf of Fracture is division, and it is an equal division.
Why is the Shadow Country weak?
"The Shadow Nation is missing a key ingredient!"
Ian realized the truth: "I've searched the entire dungeon, but there's only one place, a forbidden area that I can't reach. β
Hear here.
Spicy stir-fried cabbage tentatively asked, "Dark? β
"Yes. I can stay in the dark for a short time, but I will still be suppressed and unable to move. β
Ian replied, "The darkness is unknown to me, there must be clues there that have not been found, and perhaps the solution to the statue of the king is hidden there." β
Wrong.
Ian's face brightened, and he looked at the location of the statue of the king.
The only missing key ingredient in the Shadow Nation is the statue of the King.
Only there is the real balance, and it is also a forbidden place that the Shadow Country can't break through even if it's in a hurry!
"Interesting......" Ian stood up.
He needs to go to the King's Statue to get the last factor he needs to clear the level.
The other players were ready to join in, but Ian refused:
"You can't, the statue of the king has been activated, and he will attack you."
Ian himself is walking without a shadow, and it is still daytime, and he moves quickly.
After arriving at the location of the King Statue, the King Statue activates the Crown of Light due to the battle just now.
That ray of light smoothed out the entire square and lowered it by ten centimeters out of thin air.
The players' corpses were left behind, and they were reduced to ashes in an instant.
One step, two steps.
Ian held his breath as he reached the King's Golem's location.
He wasn't sure if he would be exposed, and if he did, Ian would use the Chaos Teleportation Rod to escape.
He explored at the feet of the King Golem, and sure enough, after the Golem had left a few steps, only the empty throne left where he had stood.
The crown is inscribed with some lines, and Ian reads it with the Dream Spike.
'The dragons have brought most of the gold coins of the sand, the gods have sent down their glow, the elves of the distance have sung for me, and the sages of the human race have written psalms. β
But from which day...... Are we missing something important? What's missing? No one told me. β
My people are laughing, and they are happy. I think that's enough. β
I seem to know what's missing. β
'But when I close my eyes, everything seems to have changed, everything I once had......
'Still, as good as ever. β
This is the throne of the king of the kingdom of light, carved for his contemplation.
Located on the left.
On the right side is a completely different text, with a strong sense of madness and murderous intent.
Shadow. And half the soul. Due to some kind of ...... Cause. Our good and evil are cut off. This is definitely not a good thing!
We are at war with ourselves, why?!
A scepter rests silently beside the throne, as if waiting for an answer.
γName:Staff of the Two Kingsγ
[Effect: Announces the existence of another king.] γ
[Description: Originally, it was a power that was voluntarily ceded in order to balance the kingdom.]
But the accident came too quickly, and the king was divided into two and hostile to each other.
But there is only one kingdom. γ
That's right.
A scepter that gives true power to another king.
There was a gem missing from it, and Ian set the Chaos Gem on it.
γDing! Complete the Hidden Mission: Choosing the King. γ
The Scepter is another piece of golden equipment.
γName:Libra of the Kingdomγ
[Effect: Holding the Scepter ignores the effect of the Split, and is immune to the distortion caused by the Split.] γ
[Description: One king has power, and another has a scepter.] γ
The moment Ian gets the scepter, the King Golem discovers him.
"Stealing...... ......"
Ian flashes the Rod of Chaos near the player, and the King Golem walks towards them.
His pace was slow, but the span was large, with each step being tens of meters, destroying the entire complex of buildings in a line.
"Outlander!"
Players ask Ian, "What should we do?" β
It's too difficult to dungeon, but fortunately, there is a wise man like Ian who has a way to break the situation no matter how chaotic it is.
Now they have to rely on Ian to complete this quest.
The scepter in Ian's hand greeted the players.
"It's ......"
"The scepter of the king." Ian said.
After speaking, he glanced at the statue of the king out of the corner of his eye.
Is the statue of the king, with a sword in hand and a crown of light, broken from the beginning?
"The kingdom is two, the king statue has a sword, and the other king ...... There is a scepter. β
Ian gripped the Staff of the Two Kings and removed another key item from his backpack.
"That's?!"
The spicy fried cabbage's eyes widened, and the players in the dark camp looked at Ian in surprise.
I saw Ian put the Shadow Crown in a sealed state on his head, and the black crown immediately reacted.
γDing! Players trying to wear the equipment in the seal......]
[The existence of the Staff of the Two Kings was detected, ignoring the sealing state, and the equipment was successfully equipped!] γ
In this quest, the Crown of Shadows has absolute power and status.
The Wolf of the Fracture is complete and balanced, a king of men and a king of shadows.
The benefits of the equipment, or special effects, only take effect outside of the dungeon, like a ritual artifact that desecrates the eternal night.
This type of item, within their copies, is out-of-spec powerful.
"Stealer!"
The King Golem roared angrily, and the air rushed from high in the air to the ground, which was considered a large-scale attack magic.
However, it was just a roar of his, not even an ordinary attack.
Under normal circumstances, it is completely impossible for a player to defeat an enemy of this level until they have found a break point.
Now, though, there's Ian.
"Prepare for battle."
Ian declared, "Face him down, the puzzle has been solved!" β
After he finished speaking, he raised the scepter in his hand:
"Night!"
The Crown of Shadows, the King of the Night.
The sun in the sky was turbulent at this moment, falling towards the horizon, and night came immediately.
The players of the Light Camp were shocked that they didn't have time to light the torches.
But then, they found that they were not consumed by darkness.
"The player must choose a faction."
Ian saw through the rules of the dungeon: "Light, or dark, the player chooses not the conceptual camp, but the king's camp." β
"Players who choose the light camp will naturally not be able to resist the king of the day, and they will be killed in seconds under the crown of light."
"But now it's different......"
Why is the Shadow Nation so weak? You have to kill people to maintain your existence, and there are very few special tasks to continue yourself?
He didn't have a king, and his king had been defeated because the Staff of the Two Kings had not been left to him from the beginning.
Darkness covers half the world.
The King Golem roared:
"Daytime!"
In his direction, the sun rises from there.
The land is illuminated by the crown of light worn by the sun and the king golem.
Half of it was a bright day, the other half was a pitch black night.
The king who rules by day, and the king who rules by night.
The world is cut in half.
Ian felt his power.
[Special status: King of the Night (The king who controls the night, has the ability to control the coming of the night at will, and greatly increases his combat effectiveness under the night.γ οΌγ
Strength attribute...... Reached a staggering one hundred points.
The same goes for Agile.
This is the pinnacle of the level 30 gold sequence, and it is also the attribute value of the King Statue.
They are balanced.
The only imbalance is external factors.
Gamer.
"My camp has been switched to darkness!"
The players of the Light Camp were surprised to find that they had been forcibly switched factions.
"It's territory." Ian replied, "Where you stand, you need to follow the rules." β
In front of him the statue of the king, raising the scepter ordered:
"Attack!"
At the same time, all players received a hint from the sequence system.
γDing! Gain a buff. γ
[Special Status: Daytime War (As the people of the night, you have been blessed by the king from the player's outlander, who is the king of you.] οΌγ
"Stealers!!"
The statue of the king roared, and also raised the platinum greatsword:
"This is my kingdom!"
Even the kindest king will be angry from the bottom of his heart when he treats the despicable who steals the throne.
"Counterfeit ...... Stealer...... And you ......."
The statue of the king looks at the players who were originally from the Light faction:
"Unforgivable traitor!"
The crown of light began to shine.
Half the world was called, and the King of the Day commanded:
"Nikko! Wipe them out! β
The players were immediately frightened.
After all, the whole team of high-level players just now, under this move of the Crown of Light, was directly wiped out!
"Stay in my kingdom."
Ian's voice rang out, and darkness surged at this moment, completely enveloping the players.
Zizizi!!
The light brought by the crown of light, colliding with the border of night, enough to kill any player in an instant, was actually blocked.
Little by little, the darkness shattered, and the light became weak.
The statue of the king noticed this detail, but he was even more angry.
"You're just a fake!"
No.
Ian calmly unleashes instructions on how to avoid the Crown of Light and attack the statue of the King.
He can't take the initiative to attack, that's not allowed.
Just as the White King only sent the Golem, he only sent his people.
The king does not see the king, the basic rule.
After the Crown of Light's attack is dodged, the King Statue can only attack the player with his greatsword, but his movements are relatively bulky.
Half of the light, with the health deduction of the King's statue, gradually dims.
The original light of the scorching sun slowly dimmed, and finally turned into a sunset sunset.
"Gnaeus! Brando! Sage Maxi! Jusseppe, the sword master! Kingdom Shield, Mehdad! β
The statue of the king roared:
"Where are you? Why don't you come and see me! β
He has no people, the wolf of the split is balanced, and he is very fair.
I'm afraid that at the moment of the defeat of the Lord of Shadows, the king, as the Lord of Light, will either die or be injured.
Man and shadow are divided......
But there is only one kingdom and only one kingdom.
Originally, the Lord of Light/White King, he wanted to establish a two-king system.
But the Shadow King, who was born with pure evil thoughts, could not avoid the division of the kingdom from the moment he appeared.
The Staff of the Two Kings was treated as useless rubbish, abandoned under the throne and left unattended.
It's like the player will disappear.
The divided people and the king also showed signs of disappearing.
They will all die, and natural disasters are never good species that can find a pattern and avoid danger.
"Stealer!! Despicable ...... Thief! β
The statue of the King lashes out at Ian for not being able to tolerate a thief with the Staff of Two Kings taking half of his kingdom.
"That's mine! My Kingdom!! β
This phrase came out.
Ian listened to it in his ears and suddenly realized.
Speaking of which...... As a statue of a living king with a shadow.
He is the only living creature in the dead world, and is the only living creature with a shadow other than the player.
Ian understands why the king survived the death of another Shadow King.
I am afraid that it is forcibly fused with the shadow to keep oneself in a complete state, and only in this way can it exist in the world.
"But...... Or is there a flaw? β
Ian looked at the angry King Golem, he was so abnormal.
Anger, murderous intent, all evil thoughts are very pure, but good intentions are better than nothing.
The king could not hesitate to destroy even the houses built by his own people, because they were in his way.
If you want to say that the white king is kind, I'm afraid he won't do such a thing, because he is divided and only kindness remains.
[HP: 5980/19000]
The White King has only a quarter of his health left.
The sun also sets, the light is extremely dim, and Ian's night dominates the majority.
"Why ......"
One of the king's legs was cut off, and he fell to his knees, with some reason in his anger:
"What about my people? The ...... I Protect Everything you love...... Where have they all gone......? β
Why was he attacked by outsiders and there was no one to protect him?
This is not right, he is the ruler of the kingdom, the king of day and night.
He is the king of men recognized by the gods!
But now, everything is what he doesn't understand.
Bang!
A huge explosion sounded, and one of the arms of the statue of the king, shattered from his main body, fell to the ground.
[HP: 2350/19000]
"Am I wrong......? I'm not as bad as you think...... I never wanted to be king. β
"You chose me, and I chose the coexistence of two kings, and I have relinquished power......"
The other players heard the King's dying words.
They don't quite understand.
"My people are laughing, and they're all happy. I think that's enough. β
"Yes...... What has changed for us? Is it that our temper has changed for the better and the world has become better......? β
"Or ...... ...... we become crippled? β
The golem cracks in dense cracks.
In the case of the ineffectiveness of the crown of light, the defeat of the statue of the king is already a foregone conclusion.
This war was small in scale, but it had a different effect than the previous battle of light and darkness.
The light is defeated.
The king had no people, no power, and he was left with only the Crown of Light.
But Ian is different.
There are players who follow him and listen to his orders, which is an advantage that the White King once had, but has long since lost.
So, he lost.
The Crown of Light flies into Ian's hand and merges with the Crown of Shadows.
In anticipation of the players, the prompt of the sequence system sounded.
γDing! The dungeon is cleared, and the player can leave the dungeon within 10 minutes. γ
Ian controls the day, waving the sun and the moon renewed.
The crowns are now collected, and the Staff of the Two Kings is no longer needed.
The scepter petrified, the Chaos Gem fell from above, and he lost his power.
It's a good thing that they're going to return to wholeness.
From the Scepter of Two Kings, Chaos Gems, Crown of Light, Crown of Shadows.
A copy of the Arcana of the Four Golden Sequences.
Their quality is all gold, and even if they leave the dungeon, their own attributes can make them amazing.
At this moment, they merge into one, shining with dazzling brilliance.
The golden crown fell into Ian's hands.
