Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Without a word, Liu Zheng hid inside the tank before Garcia could finish speaking.

The blood-red light that was originally aimed at him immediately changed direction and shot towards Captain Dragonfly.

"How dare they attack the referee! There will be no leniency, and they will be severely punished!"

Captain Dragonfly was furious when Garcia dared to attack him.

"Behold my Dragonfly Captain's giant cape!"

It tore off the cloak tied around its neck and threw it into the air.

The cloak swelled in the wind, blocking all the bloody rain, but it also became riddled with holes.

"Ok?"

Captain Dragonfly was also stunned for a moment, not expecting that the masked man in front of him had such abilities.

Garcia was even more surprised than the insect. This was a divine spell that he could only use after becoming a bishop, and its power far surpassed all his previous skills. He never expected that this deformed human-headed worm could block it all with just a cloak.

Such a casual remark reveals that, besides the city hall's lackeys, the metropolis also has such an unknown master.

"How dare they damage my cloak! This is no ordinary contestant. We must strike hard!"

"Captain Dragonfly's Referee's Stick!"

Captain Dragonfly raised his referee's stick and pointed it at Garcia, and eight flames immediately appeared on the ground around him.

Seeing that things were not going well, Garcia immediately tried to break through, but Captain Dragonfly naturally wouldn't give him that chance.

"Captain Dragonfly's Big Bang!"

The flames exploded, sending eight pillars of fire soaring into the sky and distorting the crimson circle above.

"Die! Die! Die, you bastard!"

Liu was roaring inwardly as he observed the outside commotion through the periscope.

Unfortunately, things don't always go as he wishes.

"Everything is interconnected!"

The chanting resumed, and a black circle appeared within the pillar of fire.

Then all the flames were drawn into the black circle by an invisible force and were instantly swallowed up.

Garcia appeared in a scene of chaos, seemingly unharmed.

However, judging from his hunched back and trembling right hand, he was not having an easy time dealing with it.

And in the second quadrant of his iron-faced mantle, there was another blood-red semicircle.

"Alright, you managed to take that hit without taking any damage. You're quite a talent among those who foul. Now, I'm going to get serious."

Captain Dragonfly was also invigorated by this sight.

It's been a long time since I've encountered a contestant who dared to lay a hand on the referee, and with the competition having just been upgraded, I was really itching to get my hands dirty.

"Captain Dragonfly's Big Transformation!"

It threw the referee's baton into the air, and the baton immediately disintegrated into countless fragments that flew through the air.

"First, never act impulsively."

The headgear was made of silver and blue metal fragments, while the wings of the referee's staff became the eye ornaments of the Dragonfly Captain.

"Secondly, we must never overlook any wrongdoing."

The armor is made up of silver and blue metal fragments, while the score indicator on the chest is made up of yellow and black metal fragments.

"Thirdly, the referee's fairness and impartiality were impeccable. The referee robot, Captain Dragonfly, has come to pay his respects!"

The red electronic eyes lit up, and the terrifying-looking worm-headed creature had transformed into a cool and stylish robot.

"Are those who violate the regulations prepared to face sanctions?"

Captain Dragonfly pointed at Garcia, his words brimming with domineering confidence.

"Colonel, do you think Captain Dragonfly can punish Garcia?"

Liu Zheng asked in a low voice.

"Its aura is indeed stronger than Garcia's, but these high-level believers can draw upon the power of the gods, so the outcome is still uncertain."

The driver gave an ambiguous answer.

The driver could sense Captain Dragonfly's powerful aura, and Garcia could naturally sense it as well.

Moreover, what made him feel uneasy was that the other person had an aura of order similar to that of law enforcement officers in the city hall.

"Are you from the city hall?"

he asked directly.

"No, I am an independent referee, belonging only to the Metropolitan itself."

Captain Dragonfly denied it.

"What difference does that make?"

Garcia sneered.

After ruling for so many years, the city hall and the metropolis have long been inseparable.

"Stop talking nonsense and accept the punishment."

Captain Dragonfly didn't seem to want to continue the discussion and simply leaped up.

"Captain Dragonfly's Slam Dunk".

With its right hand outstretched, its palm swelled to the size of a basketball, and it slammed down on Garcia.

Garcia flicked the blood beads from his hand, and they immediately transformed into blood-red ring-shaped worms that pounced on Captain Dragonfly.

"Captain Dragonfly's Lightning Fist!"

Captain Dragonfly unleashed dozens of forked bolts of lightning from his fingertips, forming a lightning net that charred all the insects.

"Giant Maw of Void!"

Garcia hesitated for a moment, touching the iron face, but ultimately did not draw the third semicircle. Instead, he used a forbidden spell that had been sealed in his bloodline for a long time.

Two enormous fangs pierced through space, followed by a gaping maw that tore apart the spatial barrier and swallowed the Dragonfly Captain, who was in mid-air, whole.

"They can actually summon a giant void maw. No wonder they're considered a high-risk race."

The driver exclaimed in admiration.

Is this thing really that powerful?

Liu Zheng asked.

"It's certainly powerful, but the most troublesome thing is that the spatial barrier bitten by it becomes extremely fragile. Not only will it require a specialist to repair it, but it will also attract other random void creatures to gather here."

the driver said.

"Wouldn't that make the crime even more serious?"

"Of course, if I remember correctly, his crimes were quite serious. But he was already a death row inmate. His race had been exterminated, and his sect had been wiped out, so there was no point in adding more crimes. Unless we could also kill the god behind him."

"Can the city hall handle this?"

he asked curiously.

"It's probably possible to do it, but only if that deity's true form descends upon the metropolis. But unless their mind is overwhelmed by the torrent of faith, or their faith power is insufficient to sustain their existence, no deity would do something so foolish."

the driver said.

"Then what about that young man I killed in Bathhouse Street?"

"There are also differences between gods. For wild gods of that level, it makes little difference whether they actually descend in their true form or not. If they really anger the city hall, they can send a letter to the main god of that pantheon, and he will have to hand over the god. Otherwise, the entire pantheon will be isolated from the metropolis."

the driver said.

What are the consequences of being isolated from the metropolis?

“Metropolis is a place full of dangers, but also full of opportunities. Like that ‘Ra’, if He hadn’t left a follower in Metropolis, where would He have found a tree that could evolve into a Winged Dragon of Ra?”

The driver gave an example.

"I seem to understand."

Liu Zheng nodded.

High risk, high reward. Metropolis is essentially a hub for resources and intelligence. You may not need to control it, but you absolutely cannot not participate, otherwise you will fall behind in the game and competition between the gods and all races.

As the two were discussing, there was another unusual movement in the void.

Chapter 509 The Value of Captain Dragonfly

"Captain Dragonfly's Ultrasonic Wave!"

With a faint sound, the previously closed void maw trembled violently, so violently that it turned into a blurry shadow.

After a few seconds of stalemate, the gigantic void finally couldn't bear it any longer and opened its mouth.

Two silvery-white hands held up the upper and lower jaws of the void's giant maw, raising them to about half a meter high, while Captain Dragonfly took the opportunity to slip out.

"Captain Dragonfly is stuck on the duct tape!"

It tore a piece of armor off its body and slammed it directly into the mouth of the void's gigantic maw.

The space that had been bitten through quickly closed up, and the giant maw of the void was also repelled from this space by the counterforce of the spatial barrier.

"I have never seen such an arrogant contestant as you. You must be punished with the harshest measures!"

Captain Dragonfly pointed at Garcia, then clenched his fist, and a flame about an inch long shot out from his red electronic eyes.

"Captain Dragonfly's Giant Hand!"

It raised its hands, palms facing upwards, and the sky, which was originally covered by blood-red circles, was immediately covered by dark clouds.

In the center of the dark cloud, a mechanical arm larger than a Hound tank reached down towards Garcia.

Feeling that heavy pressure, Garcia finally made up his mind.

He pricked his finger again and filled in the third semicircle in the third quadrant of the iron surface.

Garcia lifted his black robe, revealing a body composed of countless black ring worms.

"Eternal life continues!"

He chanted incantations, and the black ring worms began to rotate, like gears in a machine, yet they also gave off a sense of biological wriggling, making it extremely uncomfortable to watch, but impossible to look away from.

"Rational decline exemption successful."

Just as Liu Zheng was engrossed in watching, a system notification suddenly sounded.

"Damn, it's impossible to guard against!"

He woke with a start.

As the iron hand gripped him, Garcia remained motionless and accepted it calmly.

The giant mechanical arm shrank as it approached Garcia by about a meter, eventually shrinking to the size of a human head before slamming into his chest.

There was no earth-shattering noise, no explosive explosion; the iron fist was completely swallowed up by the ring worm's body as if it had sunk into the sea.

Garcia closed his black robe, and the sky suddenly changed again, with dark clouds gathering and swirling towards the center, like a typhoon.

Then, a giant fist made of black ring worms emerged from the "eye of the storm" and slammed down towards Captain Dragonfly.

"An eye for an eye? Could this guy be called Garcia Murong?"

Seeing this, Liu Zheng couldn't help but complain.

"What Murong?"

"I asked the driver."

"It's nothing, I was just saying."

Skipping over that, the two continued watching.

"How dare you use the referee's skills to attack the referee? That's too arrogant. You must pay the price for it."

Faced with an attack that was exactly like itself but looked incredibly ugly, Captain Dragonfly was furious, his electronic eyes shining as brightly as Audi headlights.
