Apart from putting fellow players at great risk, it seems that letting the seniors upgrade individually was the right decision.

Yuki let out a breath of foul air, he had actually done something right by accident, for example, in 'Murder in the Night' he forced the seniors and others to join, so half of them were bound to die anyway.

This was not a restriction for him, because he didn't need to go to the dungeon to find epic enemies, and the barriers between the camps were meaningless to "Nothing".

During the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons and Murder in the Dark, he gained the authority over the factions such as the Aether Particles, the End World, the War Madness, and the Samurai Kingdom, and the subsequent plans had already been foreshadowed.

"I have no problem now, thank you, Miss Liangyi." Yuki bowed slightly. He finally had the feeling of "Boss, please guide me."

"No need to thank me, we're even now." The indifferent young woman slowly stood up and left quickly. "I'm relieved that Mana is with you. You two can get along well."

Uh, why are you running?

As Yuki raised his hand, Ryougi Shiki had disappeared. When he turned around, Mana was smiling at him.

Well, this item cannot be returned.

Chapter 4 Ether Particles

This was obviously planned by the mother and daughter, who knew that Yuki was unwilling to owe favors to others, but what was more important was his own value.

Valhalla is very important to Yuuki. Without their intelligence network and Ryougi Shiki's experience, Yuuki would have to take countless detours. While deliberately avoiding the 'Hundred Eyes of Truth', perhaps a simple setting would require several copies to figure out.

Judging people by their faces is not very meaningful. It is too difficult to find a like-minded ally. Even Yuki now can't figure out the speed of time flow between his hometown and the border area. According to the thorn rose, the speed of time flow is normal. By the time Ryougi Shiki and the others go back, I'm afraid that Kurohiro Miki will soon become a fossil.

But judging from Homura Akemi's situation, the timeline seemed to be very confused, and he had no control over it. Since Ryougi Shiki dared to go all in, she must be confident.

In addition to intelligence networks and experience, what is more important for Valhalla is communication, which allows Yuuki to control things from behind the scenes without having to show up in person.

"The Savior has contacted Valhalla, and not only didn't they launch an attack, they're even trying to cooperate? That troublesome pink-haired girl must be Alicia."

"The Anthropomorphic Front is gathering information about Taiyi. They must be trying to escape the reincarnation game. They even had a standoff with the Judge?"

"The Ninjadoshu are also pursuing the secret, but they eliminate the adventurers who enter the dungeon. Well, they can be considered allies of the Judge."

Yuki has done nothing these days. He just stays at home, occasionally going to the bar of the diving club to sit and watch the changing situation in the border area with a smile, and the judges are busy and overwhelmed.

The various factions were becoming increasingly chaotic, and this was also due to Taiyi. He had cut off the players' upward path, and a group of people had been trapped in the pot and were already full of conflicts. When his presence reappeared, it set off a huge wave.

There were countless players pursuing secrets, seeking treasures, and taking advantage of the situation, each with their own agenda. Rumors were flying everywhere, and there were even fearless players who would impersonate "Taiyi" and commit online fraud with just a little information.

"That's right. I caused a catastrophe and fought against the reincarnation game. Now I'm sealed. V50 me. After I escape, I will help you ascend to legend."

"Want to know the secret of the upheaval? Want to know why I'm fighting the reincarnation game? V-50 me and let me tell you slowly."

Yuki started laughing as he read. This was simply a riot of demons. The reincarnation game had wiped out Taichi so completely that he had almost no presence in front of Darkness. Even if he had been revived now, few people knew who he was, what he had done, and what a glorious past he had.

A memory, a fragment, or a legend buried in the copy gives players a huge creative space. The most outrageous story is that the reincarnation game has an anthropomorphic form, and it became cold and ruthless because it was abandoned by "Taiyi".

Well, in the eyes of the love brain, everything can be written into a love novel. Fortunately, the reincarnation game has no independent consciousness, otherwise these insects would be wiped out on the spot.

Most of them are just jokes, but the real bosses still have some clues.

Yuuki's expression returned to normal, he gently rubbed his cheek, and his eyes became focused.

Some epic players were even witnesses of the drastic changes, but they only knew that this event happened, and they had forgotten when it happened and what they experienced.

"Good thing, this will actually arouse their curiosity and greed."

Yuki found that this sense of existence was just right. Players were certain that 'Taiyi' really existed and was very powerful, so the things he left behind must be precious, and might even contain a way to break through the epic.

"You can pay attention to these copies. Regardless of whether they are true or false, these people are definitely looking for them."

Yuki drew a few circles. As the only player who had faced Taichi directly, he knew that the other party was an old pervert who was no less powerful than himself, and was an absolute "nothing".

He doesn't want to see you, and no matter how awesome your detection skills are, you won't be able to find him. He will also leave some treasures behind so that the explorer can go back satisfied.

That would be interesting. Once you get the treasure, cause and effect will be involved, and the judge will come when he smells the scent. The player who can obtain the inheritance is at least an epic. There are so many temptations, threats, and decisions involved in this that it makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it.

It’s none of my business. The best way to deal with fishing is to lie down and stay where you are, so you won’t step into the trap.

Yuki threw the next piece of information away and snorted disdainfully. These were all information about Taichi's legacy, each one well-documented and highly credible.

The hook is straight and the bait is salty, only a fool would fall for it.

His task now is to wait, then add fuel to the fire and make the muddy water at the border even more turbid.

"Death Canyon has reached its final stage. By the time I finish my work, the seniors will be back soon."

Yuki glanced at the latest information sent back by the fax machine, and looked up to see Mana pushing the door in. This princess of Valhalla has become a runner, traveling back and forth between the two camps, constantly bringing in information.

"Huff, huff, I'm so tired. Why do I feel like you've tricked me?" Mana put a stack of information on the table and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Next time, act more convincingly and don't wait until you get to the door to get the information out." Yuki rolled his eyes. How could such top-secret information not be stored in the storage space? "Sweat is cold. At least use some hot water when you act."

"Ah, you saw through me." The girl stuck out her tongue, then naturally moved closer, rubbing her slender shoulders against Yuki's back. "Brother, let's go out and play. It's so boring staying at home all day."

The sweet tone gave Yuuki goosebumps and he quickly shrank back a little.

"Go away, go away. There's no time for such a great cause as fighting against the Samsara Game."

"Nonsense! You've already gone to see those idiots from the Diving Club!"

"Ahem, this is reasonable relaxation."

"Then why don't you take me with you?"

"According to the rules of the Briar Rose, minors are not allowed to enter the bar."

"Those little brats are much younger than me!"

Mana gritted his teeth. He really couldn't do anything to Yuuki. The only consolation was that he had seen more of Yuuki's secrets during this period.

He wasn't some cold, clockwork schemer, because that kind of guy wouldn't be researching his extraordinary skills with a bunch of idiots about The Hangover.

But he is not a passive person. Even if he does nothing, he is still controlling the situation in the border area. Some clues about "Taiyi" were spread through his own mouth dozens of times.

Just like at this moment, Yuki, who was studying the data, had a chilling indifference. Manas knew with his ass that the 'ether particle' was in trouble.

I see. It's indeed the most chaotic and powerful camp. It's a complete hodgepodge.

Yuki made a seamless transition. He was just attacking Manas, but now he was planning how to ambush someone. There were more epic players in "Aether Particle" than in "Hall of Valor", but the forces were in chaos and they were fighting endlessly for the rights of the pioneers.

Just from the information, Yuuki could recognize the worlds of "Undead King", "The Lord of the Rings", "The Burial of Frillian", "RE:Zero", "The Familiar of Zero", "World of Warcraft", "Legend of Lodoss War", etc. No wonder he ran into many familiar faces.

These worlds would be full of people fighting each other, let alone mixing in an outpost.

"Phelan's hometown is really interesting."

His fingers tapped rhythmically on the table. Chaos meant opportunity. He had several ideas in an instant. After thinking for a while, he deleted Saito Hiraga from his plan.

It’s better not to drag this ill-fated pair into this. Besides, Hiraga Saito is definitely being watched by the judge, and the identities of Li Dan and Raymond must be strictly distinguished.

"Do you want to wait for PuffShroom to come back and go together? Never mind, that dungeon still has to last a few days, let's go check out the situation first."

Yuki twisted his neck. He was used to the fast-paced life, and it was almost enough for him to rest for five or six days after returning. He always felt weak all over.

"Muna, go back to Miss Liangyi."

"Are you going to the Ether Particle? Take me with you." The girl pouted. She had been just running errands these days.

"What the hell? You're a Valhalla player, how can I bring ether particles with you?" Yuki waved his hand and left quickly under the eager gaze. This girl was too annoying. He was afraid that if he stayed at ease for a few more days, he would really become a useless fish.

He came to the management office above the starry sky. It was quiet enough here. There was another reason why he didn't bring Mana with him. That was that Yuki himself didn't know whether he could travel across camps. If not, it would be embarrassing.

According to the restrictions of the reincarnation game, players cannot go to the other party's outpost without an invitation. This is a kind of protection. Otherwise, the powerful camp would have slaughtered the weak camp long ago.

"I have the permissions I gained from the Sloth Bishop. This thing should have broken into even more pieces and then been recovered by the players of the Aether Particles."

This permission would not be displayed on the panel, only a vague feeling. Yuki put on the Fool's Mask and changed into a hooded coat full of Western fantasy style, following this feeling -

Permission activated, self-invitation, coordinates determined.

In a trance, there seemed to be several lights flashing in front of his eyes. These were the transmission media. As his vision got closer, Yuki saw castles, forests, volcanoes and squares, as if he had come to a magical copy.

Select Public Media, Square, and Enable Permissions.

A vague feeling of space transmission came, Yuki closed his eyes, and with that small piece of authority fragment, he disappeared among the thorns and roses.

......

Da da da.

The sound of horse hooves reached his ears, and the air was filled with the fragrance of herbs. When he opened his eyes, everything he saw made Yuki feel quite uncomfortable.

There was a nightmare beast not far away, leaving burning footprints with the sound of its hooves. Surrounding it were hundreds of players. He could see green-skinned orcs, pointy-eared elves, moving stones and several skeletons.

This is a bustling medieval town with the sound of harps echoing in the air. If he didn't know the answer, he would have thought he had come to a Western fantasy dungeon.

It's somewhat similar to the 'Wizard's Tower'. As Mana said, the thorn rose is too ordinary.

There are no identical high-rise buildings, and it is even more complicated than the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. Outside the town is a continuous black forest, and the volcano in the distance is surrounded by black shadows. That is the territory of banshees and dragons.

That’s right, these are all players, and the magical creatures that only appear in comics have a common identity, forming a strange picture.

He saw several skeletons sitting in a teahouse next to the square, with fair-skinned and beautiful elves serving them. He didn't know what the point of taking a sip of tea was in spilling it all on the ground.

He saw the cat-eared beast girl and the green-skinned beastman together, kissing passionately regardless of other people's gazes.

This is not a rampage of demons, it is better than a parade of ghosts at night, at least there is a clear dividing line between humans and ghosts.

Yuki couldn't bear to look at it, and then he felt a green light sweeping across his body. It came from the town's tallest building, a black 'Y'-shaped lighthouse with a giant green eye on it, which looked very evil.

Search items, if it is a player from another camp, then it will be terrible, he will definitely be recognized, and once the medium is sealed, it will be like closing the door and beating the dog. Even an epic IV player cannot challenge an entire camp alone.

He knew what home advantage meant. Just like the authority suppression of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, faction wars also required the support of the landlord, and few players came directly from different factions.

"But I'm different. I'm a real player of the Ether now."

Courage comes from calculation. He, the player of the ether particle, is a little different. If others want to escape from the outpost, they have to go through the medium, that is, the teleportation crystal to the border, but he can run away at any time.

After standing there for a few seconds, the green light suddenly moved elsewhere, obviously recognizing his identity.

"Friend, just got back from the border? Do you have any good stuff?"

"Do you have a 'Mechanical Believer' doll? I can buy it at full price."

"Any interesting news? Tell me about it. I don't have any points, but I can give you a great story in return."

"Come with me, I have some wonderful stories too, and I can tell them in bed."

Many players gathered around, leaving Yuki bewildered. After a few words, he realized how cruel it was in the reincarnation game that 'the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker'.

Lizards, elves, stone men, goblins, these players are wearing tattered equipment, but they are at the extraordinary level. The 100 points transferred, which is 1 enhancement point, is too precious to them.

The convenience of the border area has nothing to do with them. The team has to collect points to go there once, which is a luxury trip.

Yuki finally got out of the crowd and saw many players appearing from the public crystal, then hurriedly walked towards the people who were waiting to meet them.

These are all dealers who specialize in bringing back strange and bizarre gadgets from the border area, just like in this magical world, there are several hover cars flying in the air.

After paying 10 points of shelter fee to the guards, knocking out a dozen thieves, and twisting a bird's head off a robber's head, Yuuki finally had a chance to breathe. Only then did he understand why Philen was homeless and why he felt that the thorn rose was like a paradise.

This damn place is full of infighting among players. Monster-level players are high and mighty, desperately plundering resources, causing chaos below. It is a complete law of the dark forest.

Defraud others, plunder others, kill others, other players are moving resources, looting their props, snatching away their soul materials, and exchanging them for points to feed yourself.

There is no possibility for the Virgin Mary to survive here, because if you don’t plunder, you can’t become stronger, and you will most likely die in the next mission.

The exclusive space allocated for the game had long been destroyed, and the place was filled with homeless players.

"It's better than the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. At least there is a clear confrontation, which will be better for players of his own faction." Yuki found a secluded corner and opened the map. He deliberately came to the marginal forces of the ether particle to experience the "hospitable" customs and practices. This time, it was even more lively than in the dungeon.

"Places with truly perfect order belong to powerful factions, at least with players at Monster IV in charge."

He saw Halcainia, the faction led by Hiraga Saito, the Doomsday Dragon Mountain of the Monster Front, the Undead Cemetery, the Sage's Tower, and so on.

These places have perfect order, but the price is higher shelter costs and the awareness of being cannon fodder at any time. According to the intelligence of Valhalla, the Monster Front and the Kingdom of Heroes just fought a battle, and hundreds of players were killed on both sides.

There are no casualties, and the reincarnation game will provide a steady stream of qualified soldiers. Here, strategy copies are secondary, and there are too many ways to make money.

Players? They were just consumables, no different from the natives in the dungeon. They probably didn't have the pride of the Fourth Scourge.

Struggling to survive in the dungeon, it is difficult to catch a breath after returning. If you are like Thorn Rose, who only receives one mission a week, you will probably commit suicide.

Yuki put away the map. The purpose of this trip was simple.

The so-called hidden sage shouldn't have no sense of existence at all.

......

"Aether Particle does have a player named Raymond."

"He acts in secret, rarely shows up, and never cooperates with other players. Homeland? Someone told me that he and the Sloth Bishop came from the same world. However, the Sloth Bishop has fallen, and his territory has been divided up. It's not ruled out that the two have a past grudge."

"This doesn't seem like a coincidence. The Sloth Bishop died in a deliberate murder, but no matter how hard we interrogate him, the ants he left behind won't tell us the answer. Perhaps you should look for players who share the same hometown as the Sloth Bishop."
