Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

But the giant seemed to be out of consciousness, just circling around the small lake step by step in the drizzle.

On the ground around, there was an alchemical array with quite complex patterns. Zhou Ning could keenly notice that there were seven blank nodes on the alchemical array, which seemed to correspond to the seven altars of the Ascendant Ritual.

What do they mean by this? What do they want to do? Are they trying to create a god here?

For some reason, Zhou Ning's heartbeat began to gradually speed up, beating "boom, boom, boom".

"You called me here just to watch this big guy act stupid?" asked the strange middle-aged man with a little impatience. He was wearing an exquisite crimson suit, and his eyebrows and beard were specially trimmed. He should be a Braxton noble.

"Don't worry, the experiment is just one step away, and it's almost time to check the results." Professor Bislock said with a chuckle, turning to Molik and Fisher and asking,

"Have you brought all the materials?"

"I brought it. A sufficient amount of life energy and flesh gel. It took me a lot of effort."

Chris Fisher said this in a deep voice. He then had Molik bring over seven alchemical barrels placed on the ground one by one. When they opened them, they revealed a pink, crystalline, gelatinous substance filled to the brim, almost overflowing, and reeking of blood.

"According to the formula given by Goodwin, don't put too much flesh and blood gel at one time, otherwise it is likely to backfire, causing spirituality to overflow and causing the ritual to fail." said the archmage Lillard, who had been silent on the side.

"I know. A great man once said that failure is the only way to give birth to truth. One king's soul can be used to create four alchemical giants. We have failed three times before, and this time we will definitely succeed." Bislock's expression was a little excited. He pointed at the servants standing around with their eyes fixed on him, and said with a beaming face.

"To prevent this refining from failing, I've reduced the amount of life energy and flesh and blood gel this time. If the quantity is insufficient, I can always sacrifice these people and use their flesh and blood to replenish it."

As expected... even the king was taken away and refined. It's really tragic!

Zhou Ning could feel that Sherlock must be feeling very complicated at the moment, but he still refrained from saying anything and continued to wait and see what would happen.

By this time, the rain had stopped and the sun was shining in the sky. Bislock looked up at the sky and opened the lids of the alchemy barrels according to the positions of the seven blank nodes and placed them on top.

As the seventh alchemical barrel was placed, the alchemical array on the ground instantly lit up. White lightning-like patterns illuminated one by one in the order in which the barrels were placed. A moment later, the plastic objects within the barrels instantly evaporated, converging into a bolt of lightning that poured down upon the giant. Simultaneously, a hurricane of pure spiritual energy swept through, ripping open the hood of Archmage Lillard with a swish, revealing the true form of an ancient elf with graying hair and the beginnings of aging.

The giant raised his head and let out a silent roar. The hair that was originally sticking to his forehead was blown away by the sudden hurricane, and his aura continued to rise.

Did you make it?

At this time, everyone present had an excited expression on their face. Even Lillard, who had always been calm, looked at the alchemy giant with burning eyes, full of anticipation.

Zhou Ning's heartbeat quickened, his hair fluttering in the wind. With a snap, he reached out and pressed down his hat. He could almost sense that the giant before him had instantly transcended his transcendental nature, evolving step by step towards demigodhood.

What’s even more terrifying is that this force seems to have no end and continues to rise.

"Excellent, very exciting!" At this time, the strange middle-aged man who had been sneering also applauded. "His Majesty the King will be very happy. He is expecting this kind of effect. As long as everything goes well, the plan can start immediately."

"Your Majesty?" Zhou Ning was startled, noticing the title. At this moment, prompts appeared on the control panel:

[Task Tips: This task is extremely difficult, please choose carefully.]

What Zhou Ning didn't expect was that when his luck came, he couldn't stop it. He actually finished all the accumulated tasks in one go. As for the players who paid to take the tasks, they could only be compensated later.

"What should we do? Should we interrupt the ceremony? If we wait any longer, it will be too late even if we take action. We can only choose to escape." Zhou Ning asked in a low voice.

"Are you sure?" Sherlock asked in a low voice with a slight twitch of his lips. "If you're not sure, let's retreat first and go back to call for help."

"I'm not sure, but you can try. You two should step back first. If anything goes wrong, run away immediately." Zhou Ning looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly. It was perfect weather for using the King of Heaven to launch a shot.

If the Heavenly King is not as powerful as he expected, he still has two "White Emperor" arrival cards, so at least his life will not be a problem.

"Then you better be careful." Feeling the seriousness in Zhou Ning's words, Sherlock took a deep breath and said.

Zhou Ning activated the title of Phantom Thief, waited until Sherlock and the other man retreated, took out the King from the inventory, narrowed his eyes, aimed the front end of his cane at the giant about 200 yards away, activated One Punch Man's Blood Echo, and pulled the "trigger".

As if a ray of light suddenly appeared from the thickest and deepest darkness, a beam of light about as thick as an arm shot out from the top of the King of Heaven and pierced through the giant's head without any sound.

-71965!

The giant, who was evolving to a critical moment, let out an earth-shaking wail. The huge energy that was already somewhat disordered suddenly found an outlet, and his huge head suddenly exploded.

Mr. Bislock, who was admiring his own creation, suddenly opened his eyes, his bloodshot eyes filled with disbelief and astonishment.

Immediately afterwards, the giant's huge body collapsed and fell to the ground, causing a terrifying air wave.

The destructive effect of the Heavenly King was beyond Zhou Ning's imagination! He had never expected that the Heavenly King's terrifying output, coupled with the critical hit bonus of the Hot Blood Echo, which just happened to trigger the weak point attack, coupled with various off-field factors, would actually lead to an incredible result, instantly killing the Alchemy Giant.

Sherlock and Leandro, watching from behind, couldn't help but stare wide-eyed in astonishment. Despite repeatedly trying to elevate Wayne Stewell's opinion, this devastating attack still sent shivers down their spines. It also made the opponent's image seem even more mysterious.

After delivering an extremely terrifying attack, Uranus's laser entered a 7-day charging period, during which it needed to be recharged by sunlight to continue to function.

"Who? Who is it?" Bislock's face was distorted, but Chris Fisher keenly noticed Zhou Ning's whereabouts. He pointed his finger and a red beam of light shot towards where Zhou Ning was hiding.

Zhou Ning rolled forward, and a huge explosion was heard behind him. A large number of corrosion marks spread out in all directions with the position behind Zhou Ning as the center.

"Wayne Stewell? You again!" Bislock's voice was filled with unprecedented anger.

Zhou Ning did not answer. Every one of the people around him was a super-class professional. There was no need to save money at this time. He crushed the White Emperor card in his right palm and chose to use it.
