I am a reincarnation player.

"The Furnace of Darkness has long been no secret. If they can't even solve this, how dare they split their forces?" Yuki glanced at Taoist Taiyi, making the latter shudder. Only then did he realize that he was using the Mountain and River Map to explore the way. The thought of the possibility of the eight great judges jumping up and down made his fat tremble.

"So the Dark Forge only has one chance to be used, and now is not the right time. I'm asking you to alert the enemy and get the Grand Inquisitors to take action, but I'm not trying to hunt them down."

"Then who do you want to kill?" Alicia couldn't help but be curious and looked in the direction of Yuki's finger.

That was a fierce battlefield, completely contrary to the plots in some novels. There was no one-on-one duel before the battle in the reincarnation game. The strong were the ballast, so why should we protect the weak?

In a node space, hundreds of players from both sides are fighting desperately. Every space cannot be as infinite as Yucheng, and the defenders have retreated to the border.

The Grand Inquisitor can use his power to crush the rules, which ordinary judges cannot do. Yuki did not choose the conventional plot of soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, and kings against kings. On the contrary—

"I will kill anyone who is weak."

Chapter 16 Tian Ji's Horse Race

Despite their similar names, the Grand Inquisitor and the Judge are not the same creatures at all. The latter, like most of the players summoned by Yuki, are cannon fodder, but the combat effectiveness of this cannon fodder is enough to threaten the top combat power, and is even more important in this chaotic search battle.

There are tens of thousands of exclusive spaces and hundreds of mutually separated battlefields. Without cannon fodder to explore the way, do we have to let Aizen and others check the water meters one by one? There are only a few hours in total, and they will not be able to search even if they die of exhaustion.

Then use the tactics of soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals. Ordinary judges will be responsible for searching, and the Grand Inquisitor will be responsible for dealing with powerful enemies.

"But why should I play conventional tricks with you?"

Yuki looked at the countless images. There were only a few people left in the starry sky. Alicia and the others had already engaged in a fight with the Grand Inquisitor. As expected, they heard the news and immediately rushed over to kill.

As expected, it was difficult to kill several epic players who were determined to escape, especially when neither side fought to the death.

"They figured out I couldn't teleport a large number of troops, so I could only select the most elite players as a reserve. Their numbers were necessarily limited, and their strength wasn't as strong as theirs."

"Of course, if you can fight the Judge head-on, there's no need for all these fancy tricks." Hayasaka Ai stood beside him, hands behind her back, observing carefully. "They didn't use their full strength. Are they afraid of being targeted by you?"

Taiyi's perspective cheat has long been discovered, and Alicia and the others are no mediocre people either. They cannot be dealt with by your crazy output. You must always keep the strength to retreat.

"This is their fatal weakness. Every Grand Inquisitor doesn't want to be a stepping stone. To put it bluntly, they're afraid of death." Yuuki snorted, then turned and asked, "Hiyori, how many details have you read?"

"First, they maintained a fixed distance, remaining unmoved even by Mr. Geralt's active attempts to attract them. Second, they had no intention of forcibly breaking through the interception, including the Fallen Angel trapped within the Mountain, River, and State Map, who didn't use their full strength." Shiina Hiyori paused for a moment and said solemnly:

"This proves that they are waiting for you to appear. Your speculation that the Grand Inquisitor can assemble in an instant and possibly invade the Stripping Space is correct."

Yes, that's it.

Yuki laughed. If he rushed out like a fool, thinking that he was invincible in the Night Furnace, the eight strong men would jump on his face and tell him how cruel the world was.

"But they know I'm testing them. If they don't show up for a long time, they will get serious. The death of one of Alicia and the others will have a huge impact." Yuki didn't want to challenge the patience of the Grand Inquisitor, and he could see the development of the battle more intuitively.

Alicia and others strictly followed his orders and would never fight to the death with the Grand Inquisitor, but doing so would not be able to stop the opponent's advance. The battlefield was constantly being squeezed, and some battlefields were separated by several buildings.

"Let's attack." Yuki finally stood up, not even glancing at the high-end Epic IV battlefields. He gave the order directly: "Hiyori, stay here and monitor the battlefield with Shared Reading. At the same time, you will indicate targets for Kaguya. Kaguya, you will find a commanding position and specifically block the enemies moving on the streets."

It is impossible to hit the target by standing above the starry sky and following the net line to shoot directly, but to move from an exclusive space to another exclusive space, you have to return to the outpost, and Kaguya Shinomiya's range is enough to cover the entire Thorn Rose.

This is nothing more than a Tian Ji horse race, using medium horses to fight against superior horses, and then superior horses crushing inferior horses.

"Senior, Hayasaka, Mana, and Philen, the four of you follow me. Let's go crush those ordinary judges."

......

The terrain of the entire outpost is simple.

This is an extremely monotonous city, filled with buildings that look identical from the outside, with wide roads between them, and some with their own gardens or "illegal buildings" built by Thorn Rose players themselves.

The latter two only serve as embellishments, and the real battles take place in the exclusive spaces within these buildings.

Ignoring the appearance of the "city", this is a chessboard with tens of thousands of squares, and each square is an independent battlefield.

As a place for players to return and rest, these "grids" cannot be damaged from the inside, at least not at the epic level. Each grid varies in size depending on the number of players in the team, and some can reach hundreds of square kilometers.

Just like Yuki's exclusive space, the weather and buildings inside are all created by the players themselves, just like when the seniors played "Minecraft". All building materials can be exchanged from the reincarnation game at a very low price, or simply transplanted from the special props obtained in the copy, just like the virtual blue sea.

So from the outside it looks like an ordinary door, but when you push open the door, you may find a castle, a luxurious villa, a teaching building, or even a 'city within a city'.

"After the adjustment of the authority, even the smallest 'single room' will have an area of ​​100000 square meters."

Yuki appeared in the corridor and could hear the sound of footsteps inside the building. The door next to him was open, and through the crack of the door, he could see a sci-fi steel corridor. The corridor was melted with large holes, and the pale "primer" could be seen.

As long as you step through this door, you can enter the interior of a steel battleship. Looking to the right, you can see a magnificent entrance hall through the crack of the door.

He is like standing at the intersection of the world. Opening any door and entering could lead to a completely different world.

The Arbitration Council's mission is to build the battlefield in advance. They don't need to do much, just lead the players to expand their exclusive space, making it as complex as possible, and then wait for players from other factions to enter their positions and further strengthen it.

For example, the door on the right is a space transport ship that the "Mechanical Believer" took out and threw directly into the exclusive space. This kind of thing is not as fragile as the materials exchanged from the game, and can be called a small copy.

bang bang bang-

The sound of the death knell was echoing. The invading judges did not expect the enemy to come from behind and were caught off guard. Yuki stood at the door, tapping his fingers lightly.

Fake street fighting, fighting from house to house in the city.

Real street fighting, entanglement of one small world after another.

"Each room is an independent world, but unfortunately the area is limited, so it can't be turned into a larger battlefield."

Yuki wished he could copy his own unlimited private space, so that there would be no need for fighting and it would just become a speed race.

Well, we can't push our luck. The geographical advantage we have now is enough.

He looked at the doors on both sides of the corridor. This was a complete blind box. The Judge was still tracking in the secret base the moment before, and the next time he might start an offensive and defensive battle. He had just used his strength to crush all the fancy things, and now he might face the castle brought by the Knights of the Round Table.

Different worlds, different styles, different enemies. You work hard to blast open a castle made entirely of special props, and there may be only two shivering minions inside. But the next time you open the door, there may be several epic players hiding in an apartment building made entirely of ordinary materials.

This is a blind box for both parties. The players inside don’t know who will push the door in, and the judge outside doesn’t know what world is inside the door.

"That's fair. Every battlefield can host a life-or-death battle. Gathering together is too inefficient, while dispersing is too risky. Area-based elimination is the most efficient."

Yuuki probably understood the Judge's tactics. Forcing himself out and beheading him would be the best option. If that wasn't possible, he would eliminate powerful players like Alicia. Dozens of epic Judges could suppress a beehive.

The superior horse eats the average horse, and then the average horse eats my inferior horse. If the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached? Similarly, if the hair is stripped off, won’t I be nothing?

"Hiyori, what's the current battle situation?"

"The Grand Inquisitor is getting serious. Taoist Taiyi is barely able to contain the 'Fallen Angel.' Mr. Geralt has been repelled. Players in Area C are providing cover. Miss Ryougi Shiki has been imprisoned in a stripping space. I can't confirm her condition. Mr. Hassan has been forced into a dedicated space. His surveillance authority has been compromised..."

It's all bad news. The judges are not fools. Yuki hasn't shown up yet. They can't let Alicia and others delay forever. Even if they are prepared and ready to run away, the probability of escape will not be high when the judges get serious.

"Did they meet up instantly?" Yuki was more concerned about this.

"Not yet, but I discovered that the Judge is deliberately driving them away. Perhaps he will reveal similar abilities in the near future."

This ability has a price, or a cooling-off period, and if it is to be truly exposed, reasonable returns must be obtained.

Yuki thought in reverse. His arrangement was originally a test. Several groups of people were not too far away from each other. Now the judge could only catch one group of people, which obviously did not meet his psychological expectations.

"Wang Hassan was cornered. Didn't the other judges teleport over and kill him instantly?"

"I don't know. I guess this gathering must be in one spatial dimension, otherwise we would have been defeated long ago."

It is reasonable to speculate that each exclusive space is independent. If you want to move to another one, you must at least return to the outpost, which is the relay point.

After a moment of silence, he turned his head and saw a humanoid mecha walking out of the room on the left. With its mask open, it was Hayasaka Ai.

"solved?"

"Well, two teams of judges, and I also rescued a group of people." The maid was extremely calm when she was in combat. She moved slightly to the side, and more than a dozen players including Levi, John Wick, and Denise walked out, looking frightened.

The huge and complex battlefield gave them the possibility to delay time. If it was a normal-sized exclusive space, they would have no way to hide.

boom--

An explosion sounded from the room on the right, and the shock wave caused Yuuki to cover his cheek slightly.

Philen's side has also finished. There are no targets on their side, so they are directly covered in range. Even if they can survive, they will have to suffer a lot.

Yuuki waved away the black dust and showed a cruel smile.

Each exclusive space has only one entrance, which leaves the defending players with nowhere to hide, but also leaves the attacking judges with nowhere to escape, and they are suffocated to death in the nest.

He glanced inside the door. Ordinary building materials were shattered by the tearing of space, revealing a white, bare wall of space. Some judges managed to survive the magic coverage, but found that there was no place to hide. Only the mecha girl holding the death knell strode towards them.

Due to the short time, Yuki built several battlefields, most of which were made of ordinary materials exchanged from the reincarnation game and could not withstand the destruction of extraordinary power. However, the exclusive space for parking the starry sky battleship was different and it was difficult to erase it completely.

"You go to the central node, it should be set up there."

"Okay." Levi and the others turned and left. Each area has a central node.

It has the largest area, is manned by epic players, and is equipped with a large number of extraordinary weapons and buildings. It will not be wiped out by a forbidden spell like an ordinary battlefield. It can be considered a real street battle.

In other words, this place looks like a city from the outside, but within each "beehive", there are dozens of cities of different sizes stacked up, some are fragile, some are hard, and some are even a crater, with both sides fighting a bloody battle in the lava.

The Judge conquered the crater and opened the next door. Behind the door might be a frosty land. The coalition forces were not short of items of the same level as the Heart of the Frost Goddess.

"Mr. Yuki, the enemy has received the news and is here." Hiyori was on the lookout and could see dozens of judges coming down the corridor.

They received news that their friendly forces had been attacked. Each nest was a separate space and there was no way to move across space. If they wanted to provide support, they could only return to the city and move between buildings and streets.

But during the moving phase, the Judge and Yuki are in the same spatial dimension.

"Got it, deploy the troops and complete the gathering." Yuki gripped the hilt of the knife and nodded slightly to Hayasaka Ai and the others. The authority was activated and several people immediately disappeared into thin air.

Hiyori Shiina was in charge of guiding the coordinates, while Kaguya Shinomiya had already drawn her longbow at the commanding heights. Without the need for visual contact, she could lock onto the judges running through the street through shared reading. They were in the same spatial dimension, and as soon as the bow and arrow were shot, a strong man would immediately break through the air and arrive.

The city is so huge that it takes several minutes to reach it even at several times the speed of sound, and a tight net has been set up along the way.

The teleportation privilege required several minutes to cool down, and Yuuki had no intention of using it. He stood in the middle of the corridor, listening to the dense and chaotic sound of footsteps, while Hiyori, with her clairvoyant cheat activated, transmitted images from various locations.

The Judge reacted quickly and immediately withdrew mobile forces after discovering that the enemy had changed its tactics.

They crossed the road and were sniped, so they immediately split into a team to look for Kaguya, while dozens of people rushed to the battlefield here.

The hard honeycomb was difficult to destroy, so they could only move forward along the corridor. There was no other way. The Grand Inquisitors concluded that Taiyi, or the resonance point at the other end, was in a certain room, and they had to complete the search of the entire area.

After climbing the stairs and turning the corner, the vanguard in the front suddenly stopped, because a swordsman was standing in the middle of the dim corridor. He was wearing light-colored jeans, a white shirt, black hair and red eyes. He looked ordinary, but the spear raised in his hand attracted attention.

Storm Dragon Spear, this is Taiyi!

What is more terrifying than meeting love around the corner is meeting Taiyi around the corner. My heart stopped beating in an instant. The message sent to the direct Grand Inquisitor was being transmitted, and Taiyi raised his gun.

Swah——

A lightning arc remained in the dim corridor, surpassing any instant movement, and Yuki appeared directly on the other side of the corridor. The invisible assassin turned into minced meat and fell to the ground with a clatter. The ninja in front of him immediately fled to the side, but only blasted a medium-sized round hole in the wall.

"This place is extremely solid." Yuki nailed it to the wall with a single shot. Under the double blockade of space and physics, no matter how advanced the physical skills were, they could not dodge it.

The dazzling blue light filled the entire field of vision, and the blazing light cannon swept along the corridor. Yuki simply twisted his wrist, and after the spear shot down, the light cannon was split into two, revealing the psychic magician at the corner.

He was stunned. Under normal circumstances, the psychic rays were enough to blow up a mountain, let alone a corridor. There was no such thing as being trapped in a small area because the terrain could be changed in an instant.

But hundreds of psychic rays were madly sweeping the corridor, blasting out dense holes. This was meaningless. He still had no room to dodge, and Taiyi, holding a gun in one hand, was coming towards him.

"withdraw......"

puff!

The gun blade poured into his open mouth, and the attached power of decay turned him into ashes. The judge behind him felt his scalp tingling.

What would be the consequences if you met an absolutely powerful person head-on in a narrow cage?

The normal tactic would be to blow up the cage directly, disperse the formation as quickly as possible, and then use a vast battlefield to delay and block the enemy, but this damn place is very difficult to destroy.

The light of divine punishment.

A flash of white light swept across the entire corridor, leaving a round hole in the wall at the end. While the light was still shining, Yuki had already merged into the halo and charged forward.

There was no need to deploy the Eternal Night Domain or use the Moonlight Ghost Steps. He killed one person with a single shot in the most economical and simple way, like a silent killing machine crushing all resistance.

In front of him, the judges either forced their way through the floor and fled, or blasted open the door and hid in the nest. Yuki just kept moving forward, opened the telepathic reflection field, stretched out his left hand to crush the psychic's head, and glanced around.

"Record the Inquisitor's escape into the coordinates, and notify the 'Anthropomorphic Front' to bring in personnel to clean up."

Those rooms were indeed good places to take refuge, and Yuki had no interest in rushing in to hunt them down, but this team of dozens of judges had been dispersed by him, and they were hiding in different spaces in groups of three or four. Those who would open the door and rush in later would be in a precarious position.

The tide of time unfolded, and inky tentacles stretched out from the floor. Yuuki jumped up and stomped the strange-looking player to death.

"How's Kaguya doing?"

"Three epic-level inquisitors are in pursuit. Miss Mebius has gone to provide support. Do you want to come?"

"No need. If she can't escape, let her find a room to hide in. That way, any tracking skills will be ineffective." Yuki turned his head to avoid the sharp blade that stretched out from the void. Under the tide of time, the area within a hundred meters around him seemed to be in slow motion.

He stretched out his hand, dragged the beautiful girl with long fiery red hair out of the void, and stomped her into a pulp.

"You will arrange the men to ambush any enemy that dares to pursue Kaguya. If the enemy can't be pursued, let Kaguya out to continue hunting."

"Guerrilla warfare? Mr. Yuki, you're such a scoundrel."

"Swindler?" Yuki turned sideways, and the exquisite spear stabbed across his chest. A handsome young man with a golden ponytail came with a spear. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was the Spear Hero who came from an 'Adventurer' family.
