Chapter 993 The Pioneer of Breaking the Rules

[Warning: Pioneers is suspected of engaging in illegal activities. Please stop immediately.]

The voice in Lu Li's ear was very familiar; it was from the End Space. However, this was the first time he, as an enforcer, had heard a warning about violations.

The warning sound annoyed Lu Li. He thought he had finally discovered a new way to make money, and these Zamas were all assets in his eyes.

How can it be considered a violation if you get Zamasu through your own skill?

Lu Li felt disgusted, and then unleashed another burst of destructive energy, destroying a whole area of ​​Zamasu and instantly killing dozens of them, with black mist drifting in the air.

Six more Immortal-grade treasure chests fell to the ground, bringing a knowing smile to Lu Li's face. He seemed to want to confirm whether the violation mentioned by the space meant these.

The main reason is that Lu Li doesn't think the space will really do anything to him. This isn't because those who are favored are always fearless, but because Zamasu is now Lu Li's enemy, or even his hidden mission target.

Lu Li felt that no matter how you looked at it, killing Zamas was a justified act, and the warning from the space was unreasonable.

[Warning: The Pioneer has violated Article 967 of the End Times Rules by farming treasure chests. The Pioneer is requested to cease this farming activity!]

Lu Li was a little annoyed when he heard this, thinking to himself that even if it was a breeding activity, it was still based on my skills.

However, before he carried out this plan, he could probably guess that there wouldn't be such a bug in the space that would allow him to keep farming indefinitely, since he could probably guess the principle behind how the treasure chests were produced.

Chests obtained within the mission world can contain items related to the targets defeated. Some of these items can be obtained directly within the mission world, making it easy to understand why they can be obtained from them.

However, some items, such as bloodline items, are obviously not obtainable directly in the mission world; these are rewards extracted from the space.

In other words, treasure chests are not something that will naturally appear in the quest world. After all, there is no such rule in the world. If there were, then treasure chests would drop from the killing of each other by the natives.

Treasure chests are an extra reward from the space to explorers. They should be produced by space resources and are intended to incentivize explorers to actively perform tasks and fight to become stronger within the mission world. They are not for explorers to exploit.

Therefore, if an explorer were to open a farm within the mission world, raise a batch of fairly strong monsters, and then specifically slaughter them to farm treasure chests, such behavior would be meaningless to the space. Of course, the space would not expend resources to produce treasure chests to reward explorers for such a purpose.

Lu Li's situation is a bit more complicated now, because generally speaking, the drop rate of treasure chests is related to the explorer's personal luck attribute and strength. The luck attribute only accounts for about 30% of the influence, and the biggest influence is the difference in strength between the explorer and the target.

For example, if you can defeat a target whose overall stats are significantly higher than yours, the drop rate of the treasure chest will be very high.

Generally speaking, if the difference exceeds three points, it is almost certain to drop. This is also the key to the profits of many large adventure groups, because they can team up to hunt stronger targets. After killing the target, there are basically rewards, and the drop rate is extremely high.

Lu Li and Zamasu currently have similar stats, so strictly speaking, it doesn't constitute a violation of the rules to raise weak creatures to farm treasure chests. It's just that Zamasu is too weak in the same tier, while Lu Li is too strong.

While thinking this, Lu Li slightly reduced the attributes enhanced by his divine restraint state and used destructive energy to kill a Zamasu.

As a result, this Zamasu accurately dropped the treasure chest. He tried again, and another Zamasu also dropped the treasure chest. This shows that when killing a target, the difference between one's current strength and the target's strength does indeed affect the drop rate.

[Warning: The Pioneers are still engaging in illegal activities...]

The warning from the End Space abruptly stopped halfway through, as if the system had malfunctioned, and various noises appeared.

Just as Lu Li was feeling confused, the voice from the End Space appeared again.

[The Pioneer has been detected to be in regular combat, and the objective is to eliminate enemies as part of a hidden mission. This conflicts with Articles 26 and 967 of the End Times Regulations...]

In the event of a conflict of regulations, Article 3 of the Special Regulations of the End Times will apply. Pioneers may disregard all conventional spatial regulations during battles that may be necessary in the questline.

[Note: During this mission, the space will continuously reduce the drop rate of treasure chests due to Zamasu's repeated deaths. Pioneers, please be aware of this.]

Lu Li heard a series of notification sounds from the End Space and felt a little dizzy. He didn't know what the logic behind the End Space's problem-solving was, but it seemed he could continue to slaughter Zamasu.

The End Space limits the drop rate when he kills Zamasu, but it doesn't say that the drop rate becomes zero. In other words, as long as he kills enough, there is still a chance that a treasure chest will drop.

Anyway, he has already obtained 17 Immortal-level treasure chests, which is already a great profit. He will earn as much as he can in the future, and he is not that greedy.

Of course, he wouldn't give Zamasu a quick death. He always kept his word, and besides, Zamasu, being immortal, had many other uses.

"Hey, Lu Li, stop! What's the point of torturing the enemy like this?!"

Wukong shouted, already flying to Lu Li's side, frowning.

Lu Li still had the energy of a God of Destruction gathering in his hand, and in front of him were Zamasu figures, stiff and motionless after being slain by the Demon Slayer. He turned his head slightly and looked at Goku. "I didn't say that torturing him was interesting, but as Vegeta said, he won't go to hell. Or do you think that evil people don't have to pay the price after committing crimes?"

In fact, Lu Li was also puzzled, because in his memory, Goku before the Dragon Ball Super era, although he was also naive, was more appropriately kind, not as strangely naive as he is now, which even made Lu Li feel that Goku had been possessed.

Wukong was taken aback by Lu Li's words. "But you've already won. What's the point of doing this? Wouldn't it be better to let Zamasu reform himself in prison?"

"Kakarot, your naive remarks disgust me. Haven't you caused enough harm because of your naivety?"

Vegeta also flew over and confronted Goku.

"Didn't I let you go back then? Aren't you the best proof that people can change their ways?"

Goku's simple words left Vegeta speechless for a moment.

"Humph."

Vegeta scoffed, "Kakarot, do you think Zamasu is the same kind of madman as me? I only wanted to get stronger and kill Frieza back then, but this guy wanted to kill all humans. Is there any comparison?"

"Why not just kill him? Why torture him any longer?"

Wukong believed that if you win a battle, you should either give your opponent a quick death or make them serve their sentence and reform themselves.

If he were handling this matter, the latter possibility would be more likely, since he could fight Zamasu again once Zamasu becomes a good person.

If the other party really doesn't repent and continues to do evil, he can just become stronger and defeat Zamasu. "Heh, that's why I said you're naive, Kakarot."

Vegeta sneered, "Just like you let Frieza go back then, how many people do you think Frieza's father killed on his way to Earth? Don't tell me you can't see it and therefore it's none of your business."

“I didn’t kill him, and I have no obligation to kill Frieza.”

Goku's simple statement left Vegeta speechless.

Vegeta snapped out of his daze and suddenly realized that Goku had no obligation to kill Frieza. Goku wasn't a cosmic police officer or a champion of justice. He fought Frieza only because of the circumstances, and his murderous intent at one point arose because Frieza had killed his friend Krillin.

But after Goku's anger was released and he had had his fill of fighting, he no longer wanted to kill Frieza. He had no obligation to kill Frieza, so he could certainly let Frieza go.

Goku said that if Frieza did evil again, he would defeat him, but Goku couldn't see Frieza doing evil on Earth, and Goku's simple mind wouldn't think that far ahead.

"Stop arguing, aren't you martial artists?"

Lu Li, feeling somewhat helpless listening to Vegeta and Goku arguing, offered some advice.

Lu Li's words seemed to completely ignite the ideological conflict between Goku and Vegeta, and at the same time, they also rekindled their competitive desires that had been dormant for some time.

Vegeta and Goku entered Super Saiyan Blue almost simultaneously, with blue flames erupting from their bodies at extremely high power.

“Lu Li is right, Kakarot. Let me see how much your naivety has made you stronger.”

Vegeta's aura surged, his eyes fixed on Goku.

"Although it's not the right time, I really want to have another match with you."

Goku's attention quickly shifted; he hadn't fought Vegeta in a long time, let alone at full strength.

He couldn't help but get excited, because he had been watching Lu Li fight for a long time and was itching to try it himself.

The battle erupted in an instant. Goku and Vegeta moved to the eastern region of the subspace, constantly unleashing shockwaves that swept across the subspace.

Trunks and Gohan looked at each other, wondering why things had turned out this way. They wanted to intervene and break up the fight, but they didn't know where to start.

Trunks and Gohan both agreed with Vegeta this time. They were very familiar with Goku's naive ideas, but this time was different. A guy like Zamasu was unlikely to change his mind.

At least that's what Gohan thinks, otherwise he wouldn't have been so angry before and transformed into Beast Gohan.

Trunks naturally supported his father's idea, mainly because he felt that Goku had no right to forgive Zamasu on behalf of the humans of this universe and to give Zamasu a chance to serve his sentence and repent.

As a victim himself, Trunks even felt that Lu Li hadn't been ruthless enough and that Zamasu should be plunged into the deepest hell to receive eternal punishment in order to atone for his sins.

Seeing that Vegeta and Goku were fighting with some restraint and not trying to kill each other, Gohan and Trunks didn't bother to interfere. After all, Goku and Vegeta often sparred like this before.

After thinking for a moment, Gohan flew towards Lu Li.

"Gohan, are you going to try and persuade me too?"

Lu Li was curious about Gohan's purpose in coming over.

Gohan shook his head. "Zamasu committed heinous crimes and deserved to be punished. Perhaps his current fate is retribution."

"retribution?"

Lu Li shook his head, raised his hand to suppress the initial Zamasu who was trying to escape, and suppressed it with his powerful soul intent. Combined with the super binding spell he released, Zamasu was unable to move.

As he destroyed the remaining parts of Zamasu's body, he said, "Only the weak believe in retribution. The strong should personally send those who deserve to go to heaven to heaven... and those who deserve to go to hell to hell."

As he spoke, he unleashed a burst of destructive energy with a wave of his arm, pulverizing all the Zamasu that had been contaminated by the dark matter. "And if there is no hell left to accept him, then I will create a hell for him."

Upon hearing this, Gohan stood to the side, lost in thought. After a while, his eyes slowly brightened. "Mr. Lu is right. What are your plans to do with Zamasu?"

“I don’t intend to kill him completely, as that wouldn’t allow him to atone for his sins. But as Wukong said, locking him up in the Galactic Prison is also unreliable; I don’t think that place can hold him at all.”

Lu Li seemed to be deep in thought.

At this moment, seeing that the battlefield situation had been completely controlled by Lu Li, Supreme Kai Shin teleported to Lu Li's side. "Lord Lu Li, please have faith in the power of the Galactic Prison. It actually holds many troublesome criminals, and nothing has happened there all these years. I think what Goku said makes sense. We can consider imprisoning Zamasu, or we can kill him completely to prevent future troubles."

Xin looked at Zamas, who was struggling in terror under the suppression of Soul Will and Binding Path, and said, "I am more inclined to believe the latter. This kind of dangerous guy should be killed as soon as possible."

"Really... If it's so safe, why did you ask me to help execute prisoners before?"

Lu Li countered with a question.

Xin was somewhat embarrassed because he had to admit that the reason he wanted Lu Li to help was because there were still some safety concerns.

"Forget it, I'll take care of what you asked me to do later. As for Zamasu, you can rest assured, I will do my best to make him receive the punishment he deserves, and after he atones, I will make him disappear completely."

Lu Li said that he was never a sadist and had no interest in torturing Zamasu.

But he felt that letting Zamasu die like that was too easy on the executioner who had slaughtered countless humans. Besides, Lu Li thought there were many ways to use the immortality, and he wanted to use Zamasu to do some experiments.

Lu Li wouldn't give Zamasu a quick death until he had squeezed out all of Zamasu's usefulness.

Soon, Lu Li eliminated all the Zamas, even the one wailing inside the black coffin was killed by Lu Li, leaving only the original Zamas.

While Vegeta and Goku were still locked in fierce combat, Lu Li approached the original Zamasu with a kind smile on his face. He reached out and patted the face that still bore some resemblance to his own. "Zamasu, don't look at me like that. Didn't you want to defeat me so you could carry out your plan to purge humanity? Then what are you waiting for? Quick, split off some more Zamasu."
