Chapter 1172: One Thousand One Hundred and Seventy - "TE - Seal with Me (9)"

The blue rose pierced through his chest, a large amount of blood gushed out, and Su Ming'an fell forward.

Noel squatted down and snatched the Sword of Destiny from Su Mingan's hand.

Dieying was unable to stop Su Mingan from unlocking the Life Hard Drive. His only solution was to let Noel take away the Sword of Destiny, which was the key, at the moment when the Life Hard Drive was unlocked.

"Noel, what are you doing!" Lu Shu was furious. In fact, he had anticipated this scene, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"Noel..." Yamada Machiichi couldn't believe it.

"Damn it, you golden-haired bastard, you dare to harm my brother? I will fight with you!" Mo Yan saw Su Ming'an was stabbed in the heart and was furious, but he was firmly confined in the grid.

"...Why." A large amount of blood spread out from Su Mingan's left chest. He tilted his head, and it seemed that he had his last breath.

"The Overlapping Shadows gave me hope for a new world." Noel's deep blue eyes were calm. "You have seen the future shown by the Overlapping Shadows. In many possibilities, we parted ways and became enemies. Human power is limited, but the power of higher dimensions far exceeds that of humans. I just chose the side that is more conducive to realizing my wish."

"So, the adventure ends here."

"There is a blood coagulation potion in the Blue Rose Cane. You can live for a while without a heart. Even if you have some authority, don't even think about going back."

Whether there is a death rollback is an undetermined answer. But Noel only needs to keep Su Ming'an in a near-death state and unable to move, and Noel can usurp the emotions accumulated over a thousand years and transfer them to Dieying.

——The last [Soldier] chess piece that Dieying moved was Noel who was beside Su Mingan.

Su Mingan closed his eyes, then slowly opened them, blood dripping from the corners of his eyes: "You... really think... Dieying can fulfill your wish better than me...?"

A new world built on destruction and plunder... Is it really the new world you want? Walking towards the sea of ​​stars on the corpses of your companions... Is it really the adventure you want?
Noel lowered his head, his eyes were turbulent for a moment, and finally turned into silence.

The boundless starry sky was reflected in his vast blue eyes, without illuminating any clear shadow.

Su Ming'an's blood flowed more and more. He slowly closed his bloodstained eyelids, his black hair drooped to the ground, and his breathing became weaker and weaker...

Noel held the Sword of Destiny in one hand and reached for Su Mingan's neck with the other.

at this time,

Noel felt an extremely strong repulsive force.

"boom--!!"

There was a loud explosion and Noel's eyes widened.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his chest, like fireworks exploding. His skin and flesh were torn apart. The repulsive force pushed Noel back sharply. He involuntarily let go of the Sword of Destiny in his hand.

"Snapped."

The other hand firmly grasped the sword of destiny.

Under people's shocked gazes, Su Ming'an, covered in blood, stood up from the ground. Although there was a horrific penetrating wound on his chest, he did not seem to have suffered fatal injuries.

Seeing Noel falling to the ground, Su Mingan mercilessly added another space vibration.

"boom--!!!"

Flesh torn, blood splattered, and the blond boy fell to the ground, dyed red along with the ground.

The situation suddenly reversed, leaving everyone stunned.

"Your information seems to be incomplete. It seems that you are not always keeping an eye on the old world." Su Ming'an pointed his palm at Noel on the ground.

Noel fell to the ground, his expression still calm.

Noel was indeed the killer. Su Mingan's entire left chest was covered in blood. Logically, his heart would have been pierced. Previously in the dome, Noel's cane had indeed pierced Su Mingan's chest and killed him. But the only exception was that... in the tenth world, Su Mingan was now using his own body.

And his own body, his heart,

Grows on the right side.

……

"——When did you figure it out?" Dieying's voice came from afar. After all, this Noel really got the meeting code right. Although even gods can guess one or two codes, Su Mingan is too alert.

"Not long." Su Mingan said calmly: "It's just that I thought of two possibilities."

"The first one: When I first selected the strategist on the chessboard, I called out 'Noel Akinni', and then Noel appeared beside me. But... is this really the Noel in my worldline? All [Noel] are called Noel. What if he is just a possibility of Noel, a separation of you? And the only real Noel, my best friend, was not summoned to the chessboard."

"The second possibility is that Noel has been gone for a long time. The one who has been with me... has never been the real Noel."

He felt his body becoming heavy, and chaotic negative emotions gradually emerged in his mind. However, he held the Sword of Destiny tightly in his hand, letting these huge emotions like the sea rush into his body.

Everyone listened to his analysis in shock, and few paid attention to the pain he was suffering.

"Three days ago, I used the power of time to go back in time, trying to save Lu Shu, Yueyue, Nuoer, Li Yuxuan, and Lu Meng who died in the explosion in the Holy City. I went back in time and time again, and finally saved them, but... this overlooked a problem." Su Mingan said:
"——Does the Old God's authority over time override the copy of the world game?"

"——Was their death determined at the moment of the explosion, or at the moment after I retraced my steps?"

When a player dies in a dungeon, their strength will be cleared and they will return to the main god world. In other words, the moment death occurs, the player has already left the dungeon.

Su Mingan used to save players by using his own death rollback. His own death rollback was above everything else and could reverse the time of the dungeon. However, the time authority of the Old Gods could not override the dungeon.

In other words... before the power of time was activated, the dead Noel and Lu Meng had actually left the copy, and the ones he saved might just be their imitations.

As for Lu Shu and Yueyue, their death in the dungeon was real death, and they would not return to the main god world. So they would be successfully rescued.

Su Mingan asked from a distance: "Where did you hide the real Noel?"

The overlapping images were silent.

Su Mingan didn't expect to get an answer. He continued to play chess with Dieying while taking in his emotions.

……

[Both parties move chess pieces, fifth round.]

【Red side: The elephant (F2) moves diagonally to (E1). 】

【Blue side: Rook (A8) goes straight to (A3). 】

……

【Red side: Move the elephant (F1) diagonally to (G2).】

……

[Both parties move chess, seventh round.]

【…】

……

【Round 9.】

[Round 10…]

……

Die Ying's plan failed, so he could only stop Su Ming'an from the overall situation. He pushed the black fog forward and let the polluted tentacle monsters attack the city...

These measures are just desperate efforts. There is no possibility of breakthrough except relying on human error.

Su Mingan responded step by step. Wherever the shadows attacked, he would defend. The army was mobilized by his scepter, and when one move was made, all the troops were mobilized.

Under the lonely blue moon, he sat on the throne, with dried blood under his feet and even his robes were covered with dried blood. He held the scepter high, with an entire civilization behind him.

Send the disciples of the ancient martial arts family to lead the ancient martial arts, let the returnees who have been wandering for a thousand years go to the coastal city to protect the defense line, let the two people who have been lying down for more than ten days go to the front line to cleanse the black fog, let the silent swordsman wait for Daoya City, let the brave girl join the front battlefield...

In his eyes, the battle situation was like a chessboard, with red pieces colliding with blue pieces. Interlacing, attacking, defending, capturing pieces, returning pieces... The vehicles flowing on the crisscrossing roads were like arteries and veins transporting blood, turning into clear blue-purple in his eyes.

……

holy city.

There were vast and distant sounds coming from all around, rumbling and harsh.

Dieying made a move and attacked the Holy City in an attempt to make this city on the clouds fall.

"Hurry, go and ask the gods!" People ran in a hurry.

"Don't worry, the gods will definitely take care of it..."

"The Holy City must not fall..."

In the rushing crowd, no one noticed a young girl. She had a black ponytail and wore a pink dress, looking no different from an ordinary female student.

"——Have you made up your mind?" The voice of the god rang in her ears.

"...Probably." The girl's answer was uncertain, even a little timid.

No one could have imagined that Su Luoluo from the Holy City could live a thousand years later.

She lived in the virtual world and became a network ghost. Over the past thousand years, she used her power of cause and effect to continuously improve various dream patrol games. Therefore, when the Holy City was in trouble, the one who could best resist the chess of overlapping shadows was not those smart and powerful managers, but she who also mastered cause and effect.

She had never thought that she, a cowardly and timid person, could be the "only one" to save the holy city.

All the Dream Cruise games have been built, she has a beautiful leather case, sings and edits videos every day, and is a salted fish. People like her as a lively and cheerful game anchor.

If only life continued like this, it would be fine.

But the spirit asked her in the network whether she was willing to wake up from the network, and she actually agreed. Even the spirit did not think that she would agree.

…I finally get to be a coward.

"You don't have to face the attack of the overlapping shadows. You can leave it to others, although the sacrifice will be greater..." said the god.

The gods only consider the issue from the perspectives of "rationality" and "whether Su Mingan cares". Because Su Mingan cares about Su Luoluo, the gods want to replace her with someone else. As for the lives of other people, they are not within the scope of the gods' consideration.

According to His observation, this girl was the one who was most reluctant to die in the Holy City. She was timid, cowardly, and had insufficient willpower. Over the past thousand years, every step she took to use the power of cause and effect was completely dependent on His command. If she went a little deeper into the cause and effect line of the overlapping shadow, she would scream in fear.

She couldn't do it.

In fact, this is the limit of what an ordinary person can do.

"Die Ying has already made his move. I don't think you can withstand his attack, so..." said the spirit.

"Have I become the only one?" Su Luoluo suddenly interrupted Him.

The spirit was stunned for a moment: "Yes, you are the only one."

In terms of authority, she is indeed the only one.

Su Luoluo smiled: "That's great..."

That's all she said.

Boom, boom, boom.

The heartbeat is clear.

The game had reached the eleventh round, Su Mingan was still unlocking the life hard drive, and Die Ying was attacking the Holy City. The dark blue causal line floated towards the Holy City like a sharp blade.

Su Luoluo took a long breath.

"Spirit." She stepped forward.

"You didn't tell Su Ming'an that I survived. He thought I had died a long time ago."

"When he leaves, you must tell him what I am doing now."

"You have to tell him that Su Luoluo is a coward, but she is a unique coward. She hid in the Internet for many years, but she touched his sky."

"You have to tell him... the coward did this not because she was brave. It was just because... when she was in school, she imagined that a monster came to the playground, and she awakened into a magical girl and defeated the monster to the exclamations of everyone in the school - now this scene has happened."

She walked forward.

Find the causal lines that threaten the holy city and stop them.

The one who fought against the demon king was not a hero, but a weak slime. The slime held a wooden sword and poked forward little by little, trying to protect the village behind her.

There was no one behind her.

No one saw this heroic scene of the slime fighting against the devil. People were busy with their own things and had no time to pay attention to this.

The Holy City is just one of the insignificant battlefields. There are thousands of people like "Sululuo" who have stepped forward, most of whom don't even leave their names. Saturation rescue, she is not a unique hero.

One, two, three.

Her body was covered in yellow-green pollution, and it hurt so much that she wanted to cry.

When she finally succeeded in cutting it off, she sat on the ground exhausted. There was cheering from the people of the Holy City.

"——Double Shadow's attack was blocked!"

"--who is it?"

"——This must be a team sent by the gods. Great, everyone, please proceed to the next step..."

After a brief cheer, people began to rush to the next step. No one paid attention to which hero saved the holy city, because there were too many things to do.

Su Luoluo sat there and tried to stand up, but his legs had already rotted away, so he could only crawl back slowly.
