Chapter 288: Eating Chicken in Peace and Choice
However, just as Zhao Tianhe remembered what the sound was, his whole person disappeared inexplicably!
Artoria disappeared with him, but Elle, who was leisurely snacking with gluttony in the distant apartment, did not suffer anything out of the ordinary.
And at the same time, not only Zhao Tianhe, but also the seventeen True King-level people stationed in the War Giant Tree all disappeared without warning!
Of course, it can't be said that there is no warning, because these true kings all showed some special actions and left words before disappearing.
But the problem is that when they disappear, the space around them is completely free of any fluctuations!
Even in this enchantment-heavy war giant tree, there was not even the slightest abnormal fluctuation...... This is simply breaking through the upper limit of the existing spell theory cognition!
You know, among the vanished people is Heinstein, an expert in the space system, but even at the moment of his disappearance, he didn't show anything different from the others......
The commander of the War Tree, Bachet, was stunned, and then terrified!
"Hurry, hurry...... Report it quickly! Report! Report now! Bagette trembled and yelled at the correspondent next to him, but after thinking about it, he pushed him away and personally connected to the upper level, that is, the commander-in-chief Shaquille.
"There were no spatial fluctuations, no warning, vanishing...... Even all the true king-level, as well as Zhao Tianhe, disappeared together?! Shaquille on the other side asked with a frown.
"Yes, yes......" Bachet nodded tremblingly.
These dozen true king-level, as well as the strategic-level brave Zhao Tianhe are gone, who is not trembling in his hands? !
"Immediately withdraw the entire army." Shaquille said without hesitation, frowning. "What are you thinking? Is this panicking? Hurry up and withdraw your troops! Didn't you already set up the teleportation array before?! Hurry up! In addition, since Zhao Tianhe's space door is still there, Miss Ai Lei is also safe and sound...... Then ask her if she can contact Zhao Tianhe. ”
Regarding the function of that magical mobile phone, Zhao Tianhe has honestly reported to the above, theoretically speaking, it is an artifact that can perfectly communicate with the ground from the inner world through the dungeon seal, and Pixie used this thing to save Zhao Tianhe's life.
However, this artifact didn't work this time!
Elle looked at the video request in her hand that had not been answered for a long time, and she also showed a frightened expression.
"However, since I haven't disappeared, Ah He should be fine...... I'll stay here until Ah He returns! Elle hung up her phone and said with a firm expression as she walked out of the living room.
"Ah Bang, stay in the living room obediently and eat snacks, Ah He will cook for you when I come back." Elle commanded as she looked at the gluttony in the living room. "In addition, you don't have to work during this period, you can just eat."
No problem!
The top of Gluttony's head flashed out in bold letters!
Since he watched more Chinese TV programs, he also learned Chinese characters.
Neither Shaquille nor Bregette had any objection to Elle's decision.
After all, although Zhao Tianhe has disappeared now, since Artoria has followed him over, it is still possible for him to escape by relying on the space gate, so that he can directly return to the land of gluttony.
The ideal situation is naturally that Zhao Tianhe will return smoothly with a group of true king-level powerhouses who disappeared for no reason, and then Ai Lei will open the space door here, and rely on Zhao Tianhe's space door ability as insurance to continue to explore that strange place.
"However, there is only one possibility for the True King level to disappear without any resistance, and that is ......" Shaquille hung up the communication and dialed the channel of the Supreme Council with a sad expression. 'It's divine power!' The losses this time are too severe, and if necessary, those forces must be used! ’
This time, including Zhao Tianhe and Batistan, the two half-step true kings, a total of 22 powerhouses are missing!
Among them, Heinstein and Zhao Tianhe both have a strategic sense of existence, and they cannot be lost!
On the other side, in the Outer Demon Domain of the Forest of Broken Halberds, after most of the day's extermination battle, Days led a highly mobile army to destroy nearly 10,000 Eternals cannon fodder production bases.
At the same time, he also received an order from above, saying that he should be prepared at any time not to leave the defense line of the Broken Halberd Forest too far, because he may have to be urgently teleported to the land of gluttony at any time, and then, enter the unknown place to explore.
In addition, according to the records of Batistan brought by the underground exploration team, it is known that the cause of the incident was Heinstein's tentative attack.
And the trials mentioned in it are completely inexplicable......
Even if you look at some of the oldest texts, you don't know what this is all about.
However, there are actually some clues on the Supreme Council's side, because it was they who Batistan contacted in the toilet before leaving.
"It seems that the situation that Batistan said may be true......"
In an unknown space, pitch-black figures were talking to each other.
"In that case, do we need to use that intervention?"
"I don't think it's necessary, because this time Zhao Tianhe still has a lot to do with that thing, and I guess the key to the final breakthrough is still on him!"
"But this time it's different from the past, I can't get in touch at all."
"Of course, this place is a real 'fetal sea'! This is not something that can be compared to a dungeon system...... After all......"
"If I'm not mistaken, the dungeon system is actually an incomplete part of the system that the elven kings stole from that thing!"
After the army was withdrawn, Elle's side also tried to get Gluttony to leave the Infinity Land, but the Infinity Gate still stood on the Gluttony Land, and did not return to Zhao Tianhe's side.
"The reason why I didn't enter with Ah He must have been because I was in the living room at the time, so that means that the other party is the same level of existence as the Infinity Gate, the Infinity Land, and the Valhalla Apartment...... ' Elle frowned and sighed, but she could only sit in the living room and look helplessly at the empty warehouse outside......
At this time, Zhao Tianhe was lying in an endless wilderness, chatting with several true kings.
"It should be almost time, right? If the commander wasn't stupid, he should have retreated, right? Zhao Tianhe asked Heinstein hesitantly.
"No, this commander is too young, it is estimated that he will panic, try again later." Battistan next to him shook his head, looked intently at the card in his hand, and threw out one.
He and Heinstein were playing cards, while the other True Kings were out in groups to explore their surroundings.
As soon as Fang Cai came to this strange wilderness, Zhao Tianhe was about to summon the space gate to run away, but was stopped by Heinstein and them.
Because as soon as Zhao Tianhe opened the door here, the soldiers in the war giant tree above would really be completely abandoned.
No one knows which direction this ghost place is located in the Holy Council, even if the monsters here are of low strength, but the Demon Realm outside the world often has the birth of a true king or the expansion of the territory. Such an enchantment without a true king-level presence is too conspicuous, and it is easy to be targeted and broken down, and finally completely shattered......
Zhao Tianhe also realized his recklessness, so he endured it and didn't open the door.
As for the timing, they were sure that it was nothing else, but the countdown that kept ringing in their minds as soon as they entered the wilderness.
"Dear 11791st Trialists, you will be here for a 48-hour trial without rules."
"You can choose to kill your fellow citizens to gain their 'meta-energy', or you can choose other ways to become stronger."
"After 48 hours, the first trial is over, and all survivors will make a choice."
"Countdown starts ......"
"Kill your fellow kind?" Zhao Tianhe lay on Artoria's lap, cross-legged and pondering. "Does this mean that we want to kill each other? But that's no good, is it? Yuan Neng? What does XP mean? But we can't get experience points from each other, right? ”
"Not necessarily, the existence of all this is beyond our imagination......" Heinstein said, shaking his head. I think if we really kill each other, it's very likely that we will really extract the so-called Yuan Energy and use it to strengthen the winner. ”
"So? Speaking of which, this mechanic is a bit like a malevolent enhancement of the dungeon system...... Kill teammates......" Zhao Tianhe said with a frown.
At the same time, Zhao Tianhe also remembered the chicken game in his previous life, that is, the battle royale game.
However, the difference is that in this trial, there was no poisonous circle or anything forcing Zhao Tian to kill each other with them, but said that there was a chance to make a choice in the end, and I don't know if it would trap them.
And there's a sun in this place! Zhao Tianhe looked at the planet in the sky, which was full of stars no matter how he looked at it, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.
With the return of the group of strong men, their expressions were a little subtle, because they were 'around' back!
Each of these true king-level powerhouses has the ability to explode stars, so their feet are naturally not slow, and more than ten hours is enough time for them to circle around this planet, which is only one-fifth the size of the earth.
"Ah, I didn't expect to see the 'planet', it's really nostalgic......" a strong man with tattooed totems all over his body grinned. But it looks like there's really nothing on this planet, except for stones being stones, lava, star cores, all of them are real, and I don't see anything unusual in the sky, including the thing in the sky. ”
"Indeed, this is a whole world, and although I don't know where the margin is, I can see that there are several other planets orbiting that star nearby." A rock giant with a height of more than thirty meters looked up at the sky and said. "I'm afraid that this kind of great power can only be achieved by the divine power of the Creation God level, right?"
Although the true king level is enough to be a creation god and a world destroyer on a planet of the size of the earth, there is only one person who is qualified to claim to be the creation god in this infinite land......
The will of the primordial earth, Gaia!
"It is true that only Gaia could have created such a magnificent independent world, but the question is why are we being drawn in for this 'trial'? Why would he do that? Shouldn't we be treated as the demons of the earth and be killed directly? Heinstein was also extremely puzzled by this.
"In short, let Zhao Tianhe try it first, even if the commander is a pig at this time period, the retreat should be completed." A strong man who looked like an insect man stared at Zhao Tianhe with two pairs of compound eyes and said. "Let's get started, but can we do it?"
"This ......" Zhao Tianhe was also a little hesitant when he heard this.
Originally, he was still very confident in this move, but after finding that the mobile phone signal was gone, Zhao Tianhe was a little panicked.
He knew that what he had been relying on was likely to fail this time......
But Zhao Tianhe still resolutely opened the living room door silently in his heart!
In the next second, no space door appeared in front of him.
Artoria next to her also tried to call, and the result was naturally the same.
Zhao Tianhe sighed and shook his head.
However, the people around him did not feel depressed when they saw this, but comforted him a few words.
The people present were all top powerhouses who had experienced thousands of battles, so naturally they would not put all their hopes on Zhao Tianhe.
What they trust most is their own ability!
Thus, the 48 hours of peace passed.
Since the current situation is still unclear, everyone did not use the materials they carried, and Zhao Tianhe was the same.
He didn't drink or eat for 48 hours, and neither did Artoria.
And just as the countdown to the last second in my mind, a rainbow suddenly appeared in the air, and at the same time, a voice almost identical to the voice in my head sounded from it.
"Warriors, none of you have died, which shows that you have a different kind of strength from the lonely and cruel beast, that is, the power of bonds!"
"Friendship! Affection! Comradeship! Love and justice are also powerful forces that rival the primordial bestiality! ”
"Come on! Choose the mode that inspires your power! ”
The voice gradually became excited, and it sounded like a wonderful power that inspired and made people yearn for it, and this subtle spiritual contagion could not even be immune to the many powerful people present.
After that, two options appeared in their minds, and so did Zhao Tianhe.
Route 1, lonely and supreme
Although you value your peers very much, you are not good at communication and cooperation, you hope to take on everything for your peers and become a lonely supreme brave!
You will face all kinds of evil forces and powerful forces alone, and by defeating them you will gain all kinds of strengthening and power
You'll receive calls for help from your companions from time to time during your trials, and you'll get extra rewards and reinforcements for completing them, but at the same time your trials will become more difficult
Once you've done that, your teammates will go straight to you, and you'll be able to revive them and gain even more power through some additional trials!
Route two, the Dreadnought Warband
Your bond is power, and through close cooperation, you will be able to exert the power of one plus one is far greater than the sum of its parts! Even if your teammates die, you'll carry the strength of your teammates on your back!
You'll form a combination to face all kinds of tough trials, and gain all kinds of power-ups and powers by defeating and beating levels
When a teammate dies, you will permanently gain some of its stats, and everything about your teammates will be stored in the arms of the gods, and when you clear the level, your teammates will be automatically resurrected, but you will also lose that permanent stat value
Both options are actually team-ups, except that one is a single-player co-op mode, while the other is a more intimate direct team.
"Well, it's hard to choose, but ......" Zhao Tianhe looked at this trial, thought about it and looked at the true kings on the side.
"I'll take route one." A strong man dressed in a robe with a vertical pupil in the middle of his forehead said with a solemn and indifferent expression. "I'd suggest we all choose Route One, and then all help Heinstein as much as we can!"
"Indeed, Heinstein is the strongest of us." A fat middle-aged man nodded and said. "He's the most balanced and has a high priority, so as long as we can help him through some difficulties, we should be able to clear the level, right? As long as the so-called test is not too exaggerated......"
Heinstein didn't speak, because he knew that the probability of doing so should indeed be the greatest, but ......
Actually, I think Zhao Tian and that kid are more suitable to be the main body, but ...... More than half of his current abilities have been lost, and the details are yet to be known, so it may not be a bad thing to take the task of asking for help. Heinstein thought that he would get an extra reward after the Help Quest.
Since the other party is very vague about the reward, everyone can't confirm whether this route and the temporary policy are correct, so they can only take one step at a time.
But the choice of route one can already be confirmed, because most of the people present are fighting alone at their level, even if they go to the battlefield.
Even in that kind of dense battlefield where the real king level gathers together, there is rarely a phenomenon of cooperation, and more is 'help'.
Route 1 is very similar to their usual way of fighting, which is why their choices are so consistent.
Although Zhao Tianhe is not as strong as them, what he insists on saying is actually the type of fighting alone.
Most of the more high-end heroes are like this, and they are good at acting alone, such as brushing dungeons alone and the like.
Even if his combat power is not strong, so much so that Moore, who often serves as a taunt in battle, is actually the type who is good at acting alone, and he can better withstand the firepower without his teammates by his side, and quickly increase his firepower.
"Very good, you have all chosen the 'Lonely Supreme', very good, proud trialists! Unleash your potential and wisdom, and forge your own unique powers under the guidance of fate! Mother Earth is protecting you! ”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, they were still a little unsure before, but now it is really a real hammer! This place was made by Gaia!
