"I dare not." Yuki shook his head quickly. How could he dare? Even though Kaguya Shinomiya was persecuted every day, in a normal world, she could crush him to death with just one finger. The reason why he did whatever he wanted was very simple:

Strength can break the constraints of all rules.

"We fell into your trap. Some things cannot be changed since the bloodthirsty red moon. We can only say that you seized the opportunity and shamelessly tied us together." Hayasaka Ai hugged her knees, dyed golden by the sunset outside the window.

"So I never doubted that you would become 'Taiyi'. Such a being would never make such a 'weak' choice."

Weak? Yeah, that's right.

Yuki raised his head. When he survived, he had hesitated whether to team up with the two. To be honest, the senior and Hayasaka provided a lot of help, but it also made him involved in karma that he should not have been involved in.

This includes the option of 'cancel tracking'. He had imagined what Taiyi would choose. Of course, it would be one man and one sword, facing the game's targeting and reaching the peak as quickly as possible.

Get stronger, kill, get stronger, keep killing, don't waste a second, invest all your energy.

Kill everything, destroy everything, look around, and only one remains.

"But that's too boring. After all, I hesitated for a moment, but still chose instinct. Perhaps my 'seed' has been growing crooked since that moment, so Taiyi said that I made the choice myself."

Hayasaka Ai tilted her head. She didn't understand what the seed was, so she asked curiously, "Survival instinct? I'm not that strong."

Before she could finish her words, she cried out in surprise, and Yuuki reached out and threw her down on the seat.

His noses touched each other's, he felt the girl's rapid breathing, and looked at her flushed face.

"To be honest." Yuki brushed away his messy golden hair and gently lowered his head.

"It's desire."

......

Can’t find it? Why can’t you find it?

Just as Yuki was admiring the fairytale sunset and cuddling with the beautiful girl, in the deep void, powerful and ruthless beings were scratching their heads.

The evidence was solid and the clues were right in front of them, but they invested huge resources and all they got was to be a clown.

[The identity of the female player has been confirmed. Her name is Philen. Her origin world has been found and cross-references have been completed.]

[Confirmed, she left the Aether Particle, but is not within the border area, nor in any camp. The Aether Particle player's copy prophecy cannot be located.]

[But using her as evidence, it can be confirmed that this Taiyi is the player of the ether particle]

The electronic synthesized sound continued, but the result was unexpected. Assuming Taiyi had the ability to transcend the game settings, it was impossible for an ordinary player who was born and raised here to have that ability.

This is a criminal investigation drama, a puzzle that cannot be solved even by supernatural powers.

"It is certain that Raymond is Taiyi, and He is the player of the ether particles."

"But why can't I find it?"

"The ether particles are too large and complex. Please be patient. This camp is under strict surveillance. Even a Beyonder-level player will be followed by our people during a mission."

"Speaking of which, our ill feelings are continuing to grow."

"It doesn't matter. Don't forget that this trial has a time limit. I don't care what those ants think."

Recent events have made the Judge's already notorious reputation even worse. What are the consequences of a monster-level Judge forcibly joining an extraordinary-level player's copy?

Of course, the copy will mutate, killing all participants. And don’t forget, it’s not just the players of Ether Particle who will participate in the mission. What will the other camps who are caught in the crossfire think?

"And the ether particles themselves. The dragon and the skeleton spirit have been using us. The war will start sooner or later, and more and more players from other camps are joining in." Aizen tapped the armrest. He could barely be considered the commander-in-chief now, but some things had nothing to do with intelligence.

This was an open conspiracy, and he couldn't even ignore it. Ten border years were too short, and the reincarnation game was more like a siege by friendly forces.

If there were twenty years of intersection, they could find Taiyi calmly and without any flaws.

When time is short, people will be anxious, and when they are anxious, they will make mistakes. Taiyi doesn't need to do anything, he just needs to guide these mistakes.

"Both sides are preparing for war. With over fifty factions identified, any spark could trigger an explosion. On paper, the Monster Front and the Great Cemetery are at a significant disadvantage. We must make our position clear."

"Attitude? We need the power of Deathwing. Without them, our people can't even enter the Aether."

"So you mean to intervene, have you considered the consequences?"

"Wait, why do I smell a conspiracy? Taiyi is not going to force us to do this."

"So what? We are stronger and should be free to do whatever we want!"

The quarrels continued one after another, or rather, they had become more frequent since the pursuit of Taiyi.

Aizen listened quietly and was not in a hurry to interrupt. This mission was full of difficulties, and no matter what choice he made, there would be a price to pay.

"Sir Zhongyan, I understand your concerns." Seeing that the atmosphere was almost brewing, he finally spoke, "But we have no choice. This mission has a time limit, and finding Raymond is only the first step. Judging from Ether One's strategy, no one knows how many problems will arise later."

No one said anything. This was the fatal problem. The reincarnation game never knew how to sympathize with its subordinates. It only wanted to complete its goals with the highest efficiency.

This was the hidden purpose of Yuki's move. He deliberately revealed that he was not very powerful, but very insidious. When dealing with such a tough opponent, problems were bound to occur. Many judges even guessed that Raymond was just a false target and a collaborator at best.

"Ten years may seem like a long time, but it's too short for the borderlands. We don't have time to slowly adjust. Sometimes we have to take the first step, no matter the cost. Don't forget, 'The worst thing to do than make the wrong choice is not make any choice at all.' This is the truth of the game of reincarnation."

Aizen's voice is magnetic and friendly. He doesn't try to persuade others. He only speaks reasonably, and speaks gently.

"Also, you've all seen the Secret Sage's investigative report. This person was a Monster II player not long ago. Shouldn't we consider that time is more favorable to Taichi?"

These words made many people feel a chill in their hearts. Yes, Taiyi's upgrade speed can be described as extremely fast. Now that he is a little weak, everyone is scratching their heads. What will happen when he develops well?

"One more thing. We don't just have to deal with Taiyi. The normal trial missions haven't stopped yet," Dio Brando said irritably, grinning. "The next epic trial will be my turn. I have to put these things aside."

"Who is the target?"

"Dealing with the Omnic Angel isn't a problem, but it'll definitely take some time to recover." Dio, not wanting to discuss the pesky Judgment mission, changed the subject: "The longer it's delayed, the worse it will be for us. I agree with Mr. Aizen's opinion: we should directly intervene in the Aether War."

"I agree. If we can't find it, it must be protected by local players."

"I am against it. The cost is too high and the chain reaction it will cause is uncontrollable."

"I agree."

"I abstain, you guys can do whatever you want."

Aizen sat steadily, listening to the opinions of each boss until everyone expressed their views. The proposal was passed by a narrow margin, and the tapping of fingers finally stopped.

He smiled. Including himself, everyone here was a powerful and experienced veteran player, so he would not bring any personal feelings.

Because there is no need. At this point, no one can bear the pressure of being "erased", and perhaps they also hate the coercion of the reincarnation game.

The price is high, but what is even more frightening is that there is no chance to pay the price. Everyone is a betrayer. Who will care about fairness or the label of "judge"?

"That's it, then. The investigation will continue. The two Grand Inquisitors and their subordinates will directly intervene in the Aether Particles and eliminate any uncooperative players."

"Wait, why don't you just make the final decision?" A domineering voice sounded, with a strong questioning tone.

"Lord Boros, I need to control the chain reaction. The consequences of destroying all the ether particles are too severe. Excessive terror will unite the weak. I want to minimize this possibility."

"Oh, you mean to give them a sense of luck. Okay, I'm one of the interferers."

Aizen nodded slightly, still so calm and rational, but he was sneering in his heart.

A final decision? Split the reincarnation game in two? Or suppress discontent with absolute force?

No, there is not even a one percent chance that this result is acceptable. If you don't rely on me and a few of you don't die, how can I gain the right to speak and become the king of judges?

Without fully mastering this special power——

How do I become the god of the new order?

......

Conspiracy and everyday life, ambition and desire.

Same time, different space, but completely opposite mentalities. The judges would never have thought that the target they had been searching for had stopped thinking.

Hayasaka Ai, with her blonde hair slightly messy and cheeks still slightly red, was very happy. This was the first time that Yuuki was with her wholeheartedly, abandoning all his conspiracies and tricks.

She rode the kaleidoscope Ferris wheel for three hours. When it stopped, she turned around in surprise while putting on her leather shoes.

"Hey, aren't you going to look for the Anthropomorphic Front?"

"It's too late. I just received news that Taiho has received a mission. No other players can be trusted except her." Yuuki's expression was a little strange. He didn't know whether to feel regret or be relieved.

Dafeng......

Hayasaka Ai's eyes became alert. She had heard Mana talk about the other person. The latter had praised her a lot, saying that she was extremely beautiful, had a great body, was very clingy, and especially that she got along well with her elder brother.

These words sounded like warnings to her, so she poked Yuki with her finger: "You... aren't thinking of meeting her, are you?"

"How is that possible? I'm on a date with you right now. By the way, you're having a good day today, aren't you?"

"Yeah." Hayasaka Ai's face turned even redder and she nodded slightly.

"I have to relax for a bit. It's going to be very busy." Yuki stretched and his expression changed from playful to serious. "I've received news that a Grand Inquisitor is about to be dispatched. This is a good opportunity."

The youthful aura disappeared in an instant, and Hayasaka Ai also turned into the serious and calm maid. She knew what the Grand Inquisitor meant, and the weakest one had an epic level III.

"Are you sure who it is?" She stood up and swayed slightly, and Yuki quickly supported her.

"No, but their main focus is on ether particles. They can accurately calculate combat power. They never thought that I would dare to fight back."

Hayasaka Ai widened her eyes slightly, then became calm again. Having been with Yuuki for so long, she knew that this man would never suddenly come up with any strange ideas.

His style is to prepare in advance and arrange the next plan quietly. By the time the prey comes to its senses and figures out the whole story, it is already trapped in the net and unable to extricate itself.

"In other words, the force sent by the Inquisitor will be based on the target's strength and won't be excessive?"

"It's most likely. I've read the information Mana gave me. The most wanted criminal is Epic II. We just need to suppress him firmly."

Yuki nodded confidently. Sometimes there is no need to use any extraordinary powers, simple prediction can do it.

He didn't know whether this interception would be effective, so he could only enter the dungeon like a normal player and then give the judge a surprise.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're smiling so sinisterly again." Hayasaka Ai waved her fingers in front of her eyes and asked hesitantly, "How much time do we have left?"

"It took me a while, about half a day, to intercept the coordinates and then directly join the dungeon. Haven't you had enough fun yet?"

"It's never enough." Hayasaka Ai twirled her blonde hair with her fingers and looked towards another huge building in the distance, which was the 'Palace of Kings'.

The name sounds very domineering, but it is actually a divided space. Each room can be set up at will to meet any known style and enjoy the extravagance that is difficult to describe in words.

Dafeng?

"Or..." The girl's eyes wandered and her tongue licked her lips.

"Shall we stay in for half a day?"

Volume: Race Game

Chapter 1: Race Game

Prepare the space.

Yuki stood in the center of this pure white space. He had seen this scene before in the Wizard Tower and found it a little strange, so he made a special trip to investigate.

It turns out that this space is special, equivalent to the preparation space before the copy starts, and it will be triggered when certain conditions are met.

For example, the judge follows and selects the target location.

"Successful. This instance likely contains a trial mission, which is why we're tracking you down."

Yuki breathed a sigh of relief and tried not to move his eyes. The reason was simple: there were several burning gazes coming from the side.

Some were a little sad, some were watching the show, and some were very excited, which made Hayasaka Ai, who was holding his hand, hesitate for a moment, let go, took a half step back, and looked around at the scenery.

The dungeon has already begun, now is not the time to press the advantage.

Being able to distinguish the situation clearly is a basic quality for every player. Seeing her actions, Kaguya Shinomiya and Mai Sakurajima, who were originally hesitant to speak, looked at each other, took a deep breath, and suppressed their doubts in their hearts.

Before they could ask, Hiyori asked, "Are you saying we're going to face an Epic III player?"

"Well, most likely, even a whole team. This dungeon should be very difficult. I guess the minimum required to participate is a Level III monster." Yuuki answered seriously. Feeling the sudden tension in the atmosphere, he waved his hand again, "Don't be nervous. We are all very strong. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't let you participate."

This is certain, because the reincarnation game does not allow the bombing of fish ponds. Only the weak can participate in the dungeons of the strong, and no strong person will ever wreak havoc in the novice village.

Judging from the individual strength alone, no one here except Manas is qualified, but the strength of the team lies in cooperation. Everyone uses their strengths to the limit and then makes up for each other's shortcomings.

"We have another advantage. This dungeon is called 'Race War' and should be categorized by faction. According to the custom of the reincarnation game, factions are generally selected by camp. This way, Mr. Yuuki's characteristics can be brought into play to the fullest."

Rihe has gotten into the state. Now she is a veteran player and of course she knows the settings of the faction points.

The faction score of the Thorn Rose is definitely very low, but in addition to Yuuki, they also include Philen of the Aether Particle and Manas of Valhalla. Moreover, unlike the Night Murder, they are a team, but their total scores will not be added up.

Pure cheating gives you the first-mover advantage in the layout phase. As for how to do it specifically, you won’t know until the prompts start.
