What did you do with the dice?

However, although those congressmen did not want to come, when Sanshui Xinyu took the initiative to suggest that he could go to the third floor alone to meet Rusalka as the parliamentary representative of Esterlen, and then have peace talks with him, they became interested again and asked this "fearless" and "odd-job" congressman to bring a few things and a few words to Rusalka.

First came the thing the merman wanted to give him, a token stained with blood that had long since rusted.

According to Sanshui Xinyu, this thing is the royal token of the Kingdom of Elegy, and only the royal mermaids of the past can hold it, so the identity of the male mermaid is not difficult to guess.

"Back then, when Garces went mad and invaded the Kingdom of Elegy, killing most of the royal mermaids and Vesas's mother, everyone found it very strange. Even though he was a legendary true dragon, his strength was comparable to that of the Queen and King of Elegy. How could he have crushed so many people, and why did he inexplicably retreat in the end?"

"The truth is actually hidden in a deeper conspiracy."

"The current King, Nohat, is actually the younger brother of the legitimate heir. He murdered his brother and usurped the throne, secretly communicating with the Dragon Mother of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth. After nearly slaughtering the entire royal family, he tampered with the history books and held hostage the eldest princess, Vesas, who was blessed by the Sea Goddess, and the stone tablet that concealed the Goddess's power. He pretended to be her agent, but in reality he held power, using it to control the neighboring nations. He had long intended to kill Vesas, plunder her power, and replace her. After unifying the sea tribes, he would launch a war against the mainland."

Rusalka: I have read it.

But what does the fight between fish in the sea have to do with me, a fish on land?

Anyway, I'll just listen to my brother. If you want to kill me, just pick up the knife. Even if Nohat is innocent, I'll have to make up a crime for him and shoot him. Why go through so much preparation? I, the Holy Slayer, won't take care of you.

Although Rusalka had previously claimed that he liked to proceed step by step, now that he had collected 10 blessings of faith, regardless of whether they were useful or not, he was almost done with all the gym badges except for the last two. He actually didn't have much patience and was already thinking of speedrunning.

What Gudmov brought was a dragon scale and a letter. Rusalka accepted them directly but did not read them on the spot.

After all, letters are too rich in information, and his brain is not very efficient in absorbing text information. He will wait until his good brother comes back from the robbery and then let him analyze it, and then give him a hardcore RPG-style summary with two key points: where to go and who to fight.

Finally, there is Miss Sanshui Xinyu, who appears quiet and steady on the outside, but is a wicked wicked person at heart.

She glanced at the Guided Detonator and the soldiers, who were busy like worker ants, moving everything into the portal. "You were leaving soon, weren't you? And yet the Twin Towers are still standing. Should I call it fate? Well, there's no need to rush."

"Why do you want this place to fall so badly? What good will it do you?"

"It doesn't do anything good. I'm simply venting my anger. But since it's not for myself, I have no complaints." Sanshui Xinyu murmured, "You know, there are many unfair things in this world, but most people's resistance only stays at the verbal level. They are ignorant, short-sighted, and selfish. They only know 'unfairness' but don't think about the reasons for the unfairness, nor do they want to change themselves. They just hope that an invisible hand called truth can control everything and seek justice for them."

"Mo Wujue has always been wrong. He doesn't care whether the people are good or bad, he always acts according to his own ideas. He is too indifferent to life. A spoiled dog and a noisy dog ​​eat the same amount. How can this be called absolutely right?"

"But fortunately, I am the representative they long for, standing up for them. I will transform into this big hand and fulfill the wishes of those who are shouting the loudest and most vocally."

Rusalka thought she was quite a bit of a middle school student, but considering her ability to act and turn that middle school student mentality into reality, she was quite impressed.

But her next words made Rusalka suddenly understand the difference between "chaotic evil" and "chunibyo" (secondary illness).

"Lord Pearl Tear, you don't understand how wonderful this feeling is. If, after I fulfilled those people's wishes, they discovered the results weren't what they hoped for, and instead began to regret, rage, and deny their past selves, the moment this magic missile they had launched with their own hands hit them right in the head, the expressions on their faces were truly breathtaking."

Rusalka: "Uh, so you want to slap them in the face? Then whose side are you on? You've got me confused. Do you think the Twin Towers were right, or do you think those people who complained about it were right?"

Sanshui Xinyu shrugged. "It doesn't matter. I just want to see the despair of those who had been clamoring for the building to fall after it collapses, and the way those who had previously been silent start to cut them off and attack each other."

"Only at that moment did I feel that all the hard work and effort I had put in day and night to be able to stand at the highest point and protect myself in peace in my life was worth it. Otherwise, why would I have fought so hard to join the parliament and then to complete my work? Just think about it with your toes and you will understand. How can there be people in the world who are selfless and dedicated?"

"Besides, Gemini, you destroyed the Kingdom of Sneidi like that, fighting like that on the battlefield, all for the sake of becoming the Grand Duke of Pearl Tears and letting those people die in your place. You're already high above everyone else, enjoying the 'security' and 'superiority' that those you eliminated will never have. We're the same."

Rusalka slowly put her hands behind her back, curling her fingers slightly inwards, and was about to summon her weapon: "No, we are different."

Sanita: (Forget it, she is a [Council Member] and a [Libra] after all. She is too close to our guided bomber, and there are soldiers around. Give her some respect and don't make things more complicated.)

"Well, but these are not important. I'll give you a local specialty."

In order to cover up her previous actions, Rusalka took out a dagger engraved with the Pearl Tear Collar emblem from her armor and threw it to Sanshui Xinyu.

Rusalka: (If someone like this were on Earth, I, the internet's great judge, would sentence her to give Three Kingdoms Kill a positive review every day, with at least 50 words each time. Each submission must contain no repetition, no watered-down writing, and no quips. It must reflect genuine love for the game. If it fails, she must rewrite it.)

Sanitieta: (I’m the Internet Minister of Justice.)

----

The entire journey lasted just over half a month, and overall, the time spent on the road was longer than the time spent doing things.

Although there were some minor setbacks on this trip, such as meeting a space mage who could restrain his own construction, and the combat was a little awkward, but overall it was smooth. I got everything I wanted to do done, and got rid of the people I wanted to get rid of. By the way, I also brought back some local specialties from Youmobang.

Rusalka commented on this: "No wonder Theresa likes to plunder the power of faith. It's faster to snatch than to pick up. When I was dealing with those blessings before, it was either a near-death situation or an All-Star brawl. This time in Esterlun, it felt even less exciting."

"It's like when I first got into Yu-Gi-Oh!. I started playing Slasher and found it very easy to win. At the time, I thought it was just because my deck was strong. Later, I started changing decks. I played Thunder Spirit, Pearl Tears, Snake Eyes, UBR, Thunder Fire, Carver, and Maris. But I was surprised to find that no matter what deck I played, I always killed my opponents. Then I realized that it wasn't the deck that was strong, it was me."

Rushaka paused, worried his friends wouldn't know the Yu-Gi-Oh memes, so he changed the game: "When I first started farming, I played Chihaya Aoin in the development lane, Feng (Crazy) Chuan (Legend) Nuwa in the mid lane, Sima Ming in the jungle, and I only played blue Yuzu in support. Even after switching from Card to MOBA, my Yuzu was still killing everyone. I even challenged myself by playing the mage Diao Chan in the top lane to put some pressure on myself, but I found that not only could the opponent not put any pressure on me, but I actually pinned them to the ground and beat them. These examples all proved one thing to me: my combat talent is terrifyingly strong."

He said this with a somewhat dejected look on his face. "But later, the planners became jealous of my talent. They must have conspired against me, resulting in the death of one of my two fish and a disabled one. Brothers, let's bring the Guided Explosion back to Earth as well. I want to drive it to the planner's house."

"Now that I've arrived in this world and am almost done gathering faith before returning home, I need a more legendary battle to prove that it's not the Supreme Slash that's powerful, but my Supreme Slash."

Sanitieta couldn't help but laugh, then immediately cursed, "That's enough. You still want a world-shattering war? I don't think this world can withstand your torment. You'll destroy it first. And you've even put yourself in a wheelchair with your Supreme Slash, and you're not even aware of it. This is the first time I've seen someone use the Supreme Slash to split a space rift. Have you really never died?"

Rusalka was confused: "I was resurrected?"

"Yes, yes, you have been resurrected, but do you know how terrifying this thing is? If Basu doesn't sacrifice his life to repair it, it will continue to expand."

"Anyway, I don't have the ability to cultivate. Making a wish through the Nine Rings might still save us. If you really want to find a native who can cultivate, then we'll probably have to switch to tomb robbing. With luck, this spatial hole will connect to Hell, and we can start the Demon War in Estron ahead of time. With bad luck, this hole will directly connect to the elemental realm next door, causing a reverse flow of elements. Everyone will really be living in dire straits. I suspect the extinction of the dinosaurs on Earth was caused by you, the guy who used the Supreme Slash to split the earth in half."

After Sanita finished speaking, he took a breath and said, "I think we should cure your brain first."

"The destruction of the world is the fault of the Supreme Saint, not mine."

"Alright, alright, let's go play with the elves in the plane."

Chapter 389 Return and Legend Upgrade

The Detonator successfully returned from Estron and opened the portal after landing near Silver City.

The sentries on the top of Silver City immediately blew the welcoming horn, and the soldiers on the top of the city rushed to announce: "The Lord has returned with his troops!"

"The expeditionary force is back, the expeditionary force is back!"

After the sentry at the city wall brought the news back to the camp, the logistics department immediately went to prepare clothes and food, and arranged for the kitchen to urgently light the stove to prepare a banquet.

Regardless of victory or defeat, the returning soldiers must be given a sense of belonging at home.

Almost all the soldiers who ran out of the portal of the Guided Detonator threw their helmets into the sky and cheered. Some soldiers who got off the ship hugged their comrades and cried like children.

Looking at the chaotic scene outside, Rusalka felt extremely depressed. It was just a round-trip flight, with a safe landing. Everything went smoothly. Why cry like this? There had been so many battles in the past with casualty rates exceeding 30%, but never such a devastating scene. Those who didn't know were watching us crying and screaming, thinking we had lost the battle. What bad luck!

After this first voyage and the great battle, the Guided Explosion also exposed many problems of its own and needed to undergo an inspection and improvement work lasting at least one month. Sani Tower planned to use the ample time of half a year to complete this work. While maintaining it, they would also teach the mages how to operate the modules and functions above. In this way, if any emergency situation arises in the future, they would be able to sail the ship alone to deal with it.

Artifacts often possess powerful powers or invincible mechanisms, but they can only be used by the highest-level believers, or a huge price must be paid each time they are used.

The Guided Explosion Ship of the Lord of Time has surpassed the inherent concept of "artifact", greatly improving its versatility. From a certain perspective, he is indeed the first god in the military popular technology tree to try to develop alternative "modern thermal weapons" in the eternal plane.

He may have anticipated the Second Demon War from the very beginning, and was the first god to prepare for this final world-destroying war. Unfortunately, his thinking was too advanced, which attracted the special attention of the demon army. In the First Demon War, two demon lords attacked the capital of the Time Sect, leading to its destruction.

If his faith had not been destroyed too early, Sanitta suspected that after he and Rusalka landed, the first thing they might see was a phalanx of peasants armed with magic rifles firing at each other, fighting against pilots driving Titan mechas. Rusalka would probably be very happy, and the demon army would probably be very frustrated.

But if this is true, then a well-behaved person like me will find myself in hell the moment I land. Thinking about it this way, the destruction of the faith in the Lord of Time might be a kind of dynamic balance. Now I only need to collect the faith in the God of the Sea and the Goddess of Pleasure, and then kill a demon lord. This is the fastest way to get home.

But Aries, the goddess of joy and the one who had the most hope of holding clues and the power of faith, died at the hands of Theresa. He was still one step too late and could not avoid her anyway.

Sanitieta thought about it and decided to immediately add the Qi Weiya manuscripts obtained from the third floor of Esterlen to the next research project. Those materials recorded a lot about the "Severance Curse", the power from Theresa, and they must find a way to deal with it.

During the long rest after this battle, although Rusalka felt that she had not fought much, the two of them still leveled up.

【You have reached level 16.】

【Rusalka: HP254】

[Sani Tower: HP98]

【Please choose your upgrade direction. 】

If the Paladin does not upgrade to level 9, he will only have two more third-level rings and 2 more health points, but the Warlock already has a fourth-level ring, so Rusalka chooses to upgrade the Warlock to level 8, so that he can get a specialty slot for every four full levels.

[Secondary occupation: Warlock has been upgraded to level 8.]

【Obtain 25 free points.】

[Gain a feat or 2 growth attribute points, but you cannot use this feature to increase the attribute beyond 20. ]

The specialties in the original rulebook can no longer keep up with the strength of level 16. For example, the Master of Giant Weapons only has +10 damage, which Rusalka feels is not enough. At present, the Holy Slash is almost perfect, and what she lacks is "mobility" and "mechanics".

He didn't have the expanded rule book in his head, he just knew that 50 points were not enough to buy flying, so he might as well do something new.

"I want to buy special expertise."

[It is detected that you hold multiple beliefs. You can draw expertise from one of them.]

[You need to spend 25 points and a feat module to draw a special "unique" feat with a priority of 4. Since your main faith is "God of War" and "The End", when choosing the special feats of these two faiths, you no longer randomly draw, but choose one of three.]

"I accept the power of the End ≠ I agree to be the End's dog. Show me what the End's specialty is. Come on, draw a card!"

Please choose one of the following three "End" specializations.

One: The One Who Arrives at the End

[Expert Effect: While possessing the power of faith in a certain god (except Doom), you are considered to have resistance to all damage inflicted by followers of that god. This means that they can only deal half (rounded down) the damage they inflict upon you. This resistance is a special resistance and can be multiplied with existing resistance to damage types, reducing the damage dealt to 1/4 (rounded down).]

[When the world destruction process reaches 80%, this feat will be permanently sublimated, and the resistance granted by this feat will become a bonus.]

【Note: This is a simple value.】

Yu Yu judge Rusalka's evaluation of this option is: a simple and unpretentious number.

In fact, choosing this is no different from the Black Knight being the enemy of the world. He just lacks two kinds of beliefs. This is called turning the world into a friend. Everyone who attacks him can only hit half of his health.

Moreover, it is an absolute phantom god of civil war. Teresa has so much faith in it that she will definitely suffer from this effect, unless she uses the ability of priority 5, which is another matter.

Well, she definitely has priority 5. This option is better than the lower one, but not strong enough against the upper one, so keep it.

[2: The Final Usurper]

[Expert Effect: Activate a specific ability you possess, releasing three random effects within its range that are as beneficial as possible to the current situation. This skill can only be used once per long rest and can only be used in combat.]

[When the world destruction process reaches 80%, this specialty will be permanently sublimated and become the power to release all beliefs, including the end, once each.]

[Note: Are you not smart enough? No problem, it will try its best to fulfill your wishes.]

What does it mean? If I choose it, I feel like I'm being taunted, but if I don't, I feel a little itchy. Who can resist a skill that randomly generates such high-quality and efficient abilities on the battlefield?

But the problem is that it is an active ability, which means that you must give up this trump card before awakening. It is a trump card that suppresses the trump card. If you use it with full health and full status first, it will feel like you are eating three buffs. It is also very subtle for Rusalka, whose construction is stronger with less life. It is just like Lushi in the Sky Striker deck. If she stands on the field with Lingyi at the same time, she will block the cards in the backfield, but she can make up for the damage and move around. It is subtle.

[Three: The Final Controller]

[Expert Effect: Your overall numerical abilities increase by the percentage of "World Destruction Degree". Whenever the World Destruction Degree progresses to 10%, you are considered to have taken a [Long Rest] (it will only be triggered once for every 10%).]

[When the degree of world destruction reaches 80%, you immediately restore all cooling resources and are deemed to have met the prerequisites for all ability triggers. After that, for every 2% progress, you are considered to have taken a [Long Rest] until you are destroyed or the degree of world destruction reaches 100%]

[Note: Since you have already embarked on a path of hostility towards this world, yet still harbor a desire to save it, why not borrow this characteristic and use the power granted to you by destruction to fight against destruction?]

The ace of the sword and magic era, Pearl Tear, is a thing of the past. Now on the stage is Rusalka, the strongest undead in the wasteland era who was destroyed by the end of the world!

This third specialty is completely the [Brave] ability that the worse the world gets, the stronger I become. It has the same purpose as Big Brother Yilidan, but I'm not as rebellious as him. If my teammates are very C and can't tear down the world in the end, then I'll just be a slacker. If my teammates fail and the world is almost torn down in the end, then it's my turn to be a hero.

If Sanita were allowed to choose, he would probably choose three. The guarantee mechanism of this ability is too strong. Although the world may be destroyed, under this bonus background, it should be no problem for him to protect himself and the people around him in the collapsed world.

Rusalka thought about it and chose the second option.

Out of trust in his good brother, he felt that Sunita would not let the world fall into this state after being beaten by the Apocalypse, and then rely on his Brave Mech to save the world.

According to the setting of the game [Stellaris], the demon is the kind that is easy to deal with if you block the door, but once it spreads out the space anchor and brings in a large number of other demons, the speed at which it explodes will be completely outmatched by your attacks from all directions.

So Rusalka thought that instead of relying on the three-man strategy of lying flat on the ground, it would be better to choose the second-level Demon Gate and rush directly to the face of the Demon Lord to kill him in one blow. He felt that with his current strength, if he were to return to the city of Hendaria to fight the Lord of Change, he would actually be able to defeat him by himself.

After the main character card was upgraded, Rushaka did not exit this space, but heard the system prompt together with Sanita.

【The progress point has been reached.】

【The main candidate is: Rusalka. 】

Please choose one of the following legendary rewards:

[1. Behind Us is the One World Ring: When defending your homeland, all [non-enemy units participating in the war] in your territory will receive a +5 bonus to your professional proficiency when performing any activity.]

[2. Battle-hardened Legendary Commander, Pearl Tear Twin Stars: During a non-aggressive war where the number of friendly forces exceeds 60% of the total number of combatants on the main plane, the morale of the Pearl Tear forces will always be in a state of [fight to the death], and all orders issued by Rushaka or Sanita to the Pearl Tear forces will be executed with 90% accuracy. Intelligence successfully transmitted between the Pearl Tear forces and friendly forces will not be distorted or confused.]

[In addition, when Rusalka and Sanitta personally lead their direct legions (each with a maximum of 2000 troops, or a joint command of 2000 troops), they will inherit all the [Normal Expertise] effects currently possessed by Rusalka or Sanitta (depending on who leads the army; if they lead the army jointly, all 2000 troops will inherit them) (even if they have been enhanced).]

[3. Lone Hero: Rusalka gains a random legendary ultimate ability, and Sanita gains a random legendary ability and 10 free points.]

4. The Last Utopian Ruler of the World: Activated when the world's destruction exceeds 50%. All the benefits you possess to your territory are doubled. At the same time, your deeds will spread faster, and creatures who have lost their homes will be more inclined to join your faction. You have an innate "dignity" towards these temporarily joined forces, causing them to temporarily be loyal to you in a state of war. All races in your territory will temporarily lose their [Racial Disadvantages], such as [Dragonism], [Mania], [Bloodline Pride], and [Desalination].

[5. Demon Slayer: When you personally participate in a battle against a demonic army, all friendly units participating in the battle gain an attack advantage against demons and an immunity advantage against demonic spells. In this battlefield, all numerical effects that can generate [Anti-Demon] special attacks are doubled.]

Rusalka chuckled and answered almost without thinking: (I choose 2.)

You have selected "Legendary Commander: Pearl Tear Twin Stars"

The Sani Tower was a huge shock, almost like seeing the world's first talking ape: (Huh?)

My good brother Rusalka with 5 intelligence didn’t choose 3 to draw the final blind box, so my youth is over.

Although in his opinion, there are many reasons not to choose 3, and it is easy to find reasons to choose other options, he would rather hear why Rusalka did not choose 3 than why she chose 2.

Sanita: (Brother, are you me?)
