"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

The old butler hesitated, then finally sighed softly.

This final chosen one possesses the last remaining power of destiny in the world of remnants, and this power is the fuel that reignites the fire of the coordinates at the core of the world. For the three major battlefield factions, this is an object that must be won over.

To prevent the other two factions from launching a decisive attack, the three major factions opted for a relatively moderate approach to winning them over. However, this facade of moderation will inevitably be shattered once the core of the world is exposed.

"Lord, you'd better think things through," the old butler said with a cryptic tone.

boom!

The study door suddenly shattered.

The three men escorted the platinum-haired young man into the study. He carried a thorny stalk pierced with the heads of men and women. These men and women were all players from the three factions responsible for conquering the Chosen One. The maid who had served him tea earlier was also among them.

The old steward hurriedly drew his longsword. After seeing the face of the deceased, he felt a chill run down his spine. The fact that the deceased had silently eliminated more than twenty silver-level players was beyond his imagination. The second-tier battle clearly did not allow the intervention of third-tier gold-level players.

"Who is coming!"

no answer.

All four members of the team were Silver Peak players with high privileges, and they didn't take a Silver Elite seriously at all.

Jiang He walked to the desk and said calmly, "Come with us. For now, this may be the best option for you."

The talisman-wielding man couldn't help but inwardly complain. He didn't actually approve of such a simple and crude method of communication. The fact that the three major battlefield factions could compromise with each other was enough to show that the Chosen One was not easily fooled.

Tommy scrutinized the man who spoke. Even though his appearance and hair color were completely different, his tone and eyes were very familiar. He had fought alongside someone on the Somme battlefield.

"Rhine?"

Jiang He nodded, snapped his fingers, and activated a rare-level transformation technique, turning him into a blond-haired, blue-eyed man, before reverting to his original appearance.

"Considering that those guys might also have transformation abilities, if you want to gather evidence, I can recount it slowly."

Tommy waved his hand, all the fatigue he had accumulated over the days vanished, and he shrugged and smiled, "You know, when I'm indecisive, I always follow my instincts."

The talisman-wielding man watching was astonished. Things were progressing too smoothly. The chosen one had chosen to trust him right away. If it weren't for the fact that their conversation revealed that they seemed to know each other already, he would have even suspected that the executor was a charismatic player.

The deputy commander of operations chuckled and said, "Then let's get going. The diviner has chosen a safe house, and the commotion here can't be kept secret for long."

Tommy pulled out a revolver and alchemical bullets from the drawer, took off his trench coat from the hanger, and prepared to leave with the others.

"you……"

Seeing this, the old butler gripped his longsword tightly. He couldn't bear the guilt of letting the chosen one go. Mr. Smoke, Terminator, and Quick-Knife Chef were all top-tier Silver-ranked experts, especially Quick-Knife Chef, whose cooking utensils were essentially torture instruments.

hum!

The longsword was drawn and thrust straight at the chosen one of destiny.

Knowing he was powerless against four formidable enemies, the old butler chose a way to make things difficult for everyone. His short-range burst speed was virtually unmatched at his level, which is why he was given the job of closely monitoring his target.

But a hand covered in dragon turtle scales reached out even faster and precisely gripped the sword. Its hand clenched upwards, and as two sparks rose, the blade of this fine-grade longsword was forcibly ground flat, and a sharp, piercing friction sound echoed in the study.

The old butler stared blankly as his half-clenched hand rose upwards, easily shattering the sword guard and then breaking the fine-grade breastplate on his chest. A tidal wave of immense power was unleashed, destroying his skin and flesh, completely shattering his upper body.

Rotten flesh splattered all over the wall behind him, leaving bullet holes like bullet holes, and the gust of wind whipped up by the impact made the entire study tremble.

The deputy commander of operations was speechless. The strength of the garrison commander of Anping was too outrageous. This was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. It was just a casual attack, but he had killed a silver elite in the blink of an eye. Even a normal peak-level player would probably not be able to defeat him in a few rounds.

"I'm done cleaning up." Tommy was used to it. As a veteran of World War I, he had seen countless bloodier scenes, and besides, Rhine's fighting style was always brutal.

"Then let's go." Jiang He shook the crumbs off his hands and left behind a blood-red short spear.

The diviner seemed unwell, and the man with the talisman was the first to leave the study. The five of them then moved along the pre-planned route.

Along the way, Tommy saw a large number of headless corpses. Judging from the unconcealed traces, the attackers had an extreme speed that left their prey with no chance to react. The maid who served the red tea held a battle knife in her hand, but she never managed to draw it until she died.

Arriving at a corner on the first floor, the talisman-wielding man took out a stack of high-quality talismans, a total of 12, each of which was a digging talisman. As the talisman burned, a square depression suddenly appeared in the ground in front of them. As the talisman continued to burn, the group of five moved quickly underground.

The Deputy Chief of Operations was not surprised by the large number of precious consumables. The Buddhist and Taoist Committee was the leading righteous and extraordinary organization in the Great Xia Dynasty, composed of many families who had mastered ancient paths.

Its history spans thousands of years. Despite experiencing a period of decline due to the extinction of superhumans, it has still managed to continue its heritage through various means and has taken a leading position before the large-scale recovery in the present world, claiming to be the orthodox one.

However, after being dealt a heavy blow by the God-Making Project, most extraordinary families have learned to keep a low profile. The Jian family, which controls talismans, the Si family, which is good at borrowing the power of stars behind the astrologer Si Nan, and the Jinjia Chu family, which has been loyal to the royal power for generations, are all among them. The Buddhist and Taoist Committee and the Order Bureau are the biggest partners of each other.

The five people continued their journey through the tunnel.

The area was restored to its original state within just a few minutes.

The man with the talismans took out seven more high-quality concealment talismans, which he casually squandered, before turning his head to look at someone.

"What's wrong?" Jiang He raised an eyebrow, looking at him.

"What do you think?" the man with the talisman asked.

“Not bad, quite skillful,” Jiang He replied nonchalantly.

The man with the talisman nodded reservedly and explained with considerable pride, "The advantage of this kind of high-quality concealment talisman is its comprehensiveness. It can conceal most of the detection capabilities of the Silver level. If you use seven of them at once, even a Silver peak expert who specializes in searching can be hindered for half a day."

Astrologers neither agree nor disagree, provided they don't encounter a "silver-level expert" with unparalleled search capabilities.

The group arrived at the end of the tunnel, directly below the archives. Due to the fierce battle between someone and the Glory Adventurers, the remaining supernatural power could interfere with many investigative abilities. Secondly, the darkness under one's nose was also a factor worth considering.

In the basement space, which was the size of a normal bedroom, the deputy commander of operations pulled out a series of survival equipment, including oxygen cylinders, to improve the surrounding environment.

Jiang He snapped his fingers, illuminating the surroundings with a burst of light. He looked at Tommy opposite him and said:

“There are over a thousand superhumans tracking you right now, but they can’t leave the Fog City area. My idea is to temporarily send you out of Fog City. Of course, the four of us are no different from them in essence, but I personally want to do my best to ensure your safety in the end.”

Tommy nodded. He had previously bought a train ticket to return to Birmingham, where his family lived, to avoid trouble, but he always encountered various setbacks. Now it seemed that everything was predictable.

The deputy commander of operations said, "I think the other three camps are not unprepared for the possibility of Tommy escaping Fog City. Jian Chaoyang probably doesn't have the talismans needed to travel underground all the time, so all the checkpoints must be heavily guarded."

“So we need to cover it up,” Jiang He said. “I plan to cut off the Thames River that runs through the foggy city. This way, the banks will be flooded and millions of people will be evacuated, which will at least greatly reduce the pressure.”

The deputy chief of operations stood there stunned. He hadn't expected the other party to say such dangerous things in such a serious manner. This behavior was enough for the analysis room to label the other party as "potentially high-risk".

After a moment of serious thought, the man with the talisman said, "The executive officer's idea is not without merit. When the core of the world appears, the chaotic battle between the demon faction and thousands of players will cause incalculable casualties. In comparison, the flooding plan focuses more on economic losses. The deputy minister might as well regard it as another form of evacuation."

As a member of the cooperative organization of the Bureau of Order, Fu Lu Nan knew how to persuade the Deputy Chief of Operations. These guys were sometimes incredibly stubborn, but they were the cornerstone of the current order.

The astrologer said quietly, "It's feasible."

The deputy commander of operations remained silent.

Jiang He began assigning tasks, saying, "I will use a simple field to cut off the Thames. If you have a more efficient method, that would be best. The three of you will escort Tommy to safety. We will split into two groups."

Jiang He handed a blood-red short spear to Tommy. This was the Mobius Knight's swap skill, which allowed for a maximum of two spears to exist at the same time. He left the other one at the Redwood Villa before he left.

"Let's use this." The talisman-wielding man took out 80 rare-grade earth wall talismans and 300 common-grade earth and stone talismans. The Jian family of talismans almost monopolized the related industries within the Great Xia Dynasty. Making talismans was equivalent to printing money, and their foundation was extraordinary.

Jiang He took the talisman and disappeared from the spot the next second.

The man with the talisman asked, "What should we say?"

The deputy commander of operations said gravely, "Let's wait until the peak of the crowds before we leave. Since we've made the decision, we have to seize the opportunity."

……

Sequoia Villa.

Immediately after the raid group was attacked, the three factions dispatched a joint investigation team, led by Bai Gu, a Silver-ranked player from the End of the Battlefield.

"All 33 Silver-ranked players were killed, all by a single hit."

"The chosen one has disappeared."

"It can be confirmed that the attackers are the powerful forces originating from the battlefield—the Desert Warriors. We have not yet been able to discover their escape route."

"There were no signs of battle behind the desk. It's possible that the Chosen One deliberately followed the enemy away. This is something to be aware of."

The twenty players searched the villa inside and out and quickly reconstructed what had happened—the foreign powers broke into the villa, locked onto the locations of all the targets in advance, and then used their overwhelming speed to kill them one by one without any hindrance.

"It's so comprehensive that it leaves no room for error."

The deputy leader, also at the peak level, examined the blood-red short spear on the table. The powerful Mo Ke not only possessed outstanding combat strength, but also had skills or items in reconnaissance that were no less than those of peak specialists, seemingly without any weaknesses.

The skeleton stood in the middle of the study, patiently examining all the headless corpses that had been brought in. The neck wounds looked like knife cuts, but judging from the cracks in the surrounding bones, they should have been from an extremely sharp blunt weapon. This conclusion seemed contradictory, but it was an indisputable fact.

"Is it just a chop or a intercepting kick?"

The skeleton was amazed by the devastating force unleashed by the great powers in an instant; such power could undoubtedly destroy the silver body with ease.

Suddenly, the blood-red spear vanished.

The deputy team leader sensed an unprecedented danger to death. A blurry figure appeared before him. He frantically activated his perfect-level defensive skill, Magic Shield, but a dark blue lightning bolt struck instantly at an unbelievable speed.

Whoosh!

With a swift chop, the lightning's extreme sharpness, propelled by the power of the King of Mechanical Force, transformed into an unparalleled guillotine. The lightning, imbued with immense power, shattered the magical shield without hesitation, destroying the flesh and bones of the neck. The lightning and force swept through the deputy leader's entire body through the power of internal energy, instantly extinguishing all life.

In the blink of an eye, the Silver Peak fell.

A close-quarters sneak attack has ended.

"Enemy attack!" White Bone shouted in shock and anger. After killing all the players in the strategy group and abducting the Child of Destiny, the enemy had launched a surprise attack. The three leaders were meeting, and there was no force in Redwood Villa that could stop the enemy's slaughter.

The player responsible for transporting the corpse had not yet left. Upon hearing the commotion, he immediately turned around, drew his gun, and unleashed a burst of fire from his high-quality revolver.

As the primary weapon for the gunner, this revolver boasts excellent lethality, with the special effects of ferocity—dealing an additional 30% damage to flesh and blood creatures, eagle strike—fierce shock and armor-piercing effects within 100 meters, and starvation—bullets will drain a large amount of the target's life force. Combined with rare alchemical armor-piercing bullets, its power is truly remarkable.

Bang bang bang!

The bullets struck the dragon turtle's scales, which were not covered by the Overlord's Armor, and sparks flew. The gunner stared blankly as several scales fell away, a chill running through his mind.

Bang!

A lightning spear crackling with countless arcs of electricity shot out, pinning the gunner to the floor. The lightning exploded, and the energy and shock destroyed the entire study, causing most of the Redwood Villa to collapse.

Smoke and dust filled the air

The investigation team leader, Bai Gu, used his core resources, the perfect-grade item, the Bai Gu Assembled Battle Banner.

The silver skeletons of 34 dead players, including the gunner, came together to form a ten-meter-tall headless skeletal giant, and the special effects giant was successfully activated.

The thirty-four silver bodies that were combined and integrated underwent a qualitative change. The bodies of the skeletal giants shimmered with silver light, and their overall sturdiness, of the highest level, far surpassed that of any single "part".

Within the giant's abdomen, thirty-four dark, gaping mouths opened simultaneously, violently spewing out the supernatural factors remaining within the player's deceased body, creating a powerful torrent of energy, activating the special effect "Hate of the Bones".

A magnificent torrent of energy swept away the smoke and dust, as if a small river had poured down on them. Following the leader's attack instructions, the players in the investigation team unleashed their abilities, with spells, curses, shots, and various other skills bursting forth, creating a dazzling spectacle.

boom!

A supernatural torrent, filled with the resentment of the dead, swept in.

Jiang He raised one hand, his palm covered in dragon turtle scales, where lightning and flames intertwined. The torrent dispersed into countless strands that spilled out from all directions, leaving dense cracks on the ground. He strode forward nonchalantly, locking onto the player, White Bone, through the colorful energy.

"It has some potential."

If there were no limit to the number of people that could be brought along by a rank, this perfect-level skeleton assembly ability might be able to sustain war through war, wreaking havoc on an entire world with a lower energy level. The skeleton giants that were eventually cultivated, if not able to punch the world's consciousness or trample on a group of gods, could at least serve as a protective foundation on the path of growth.

"I'll fight you!"

Faced with an increasingly intense sense of crisis, the skeleton flew into a rage and frantically waved the skeleton-assembled battle flag.

The torrent of energy failed to cause any damage until it ended. The skeletal giant suddenly slammed down its arm, the immense force creating wisps of wind and howling gales.

Jiang He made up his mind and suddenly activated Flash Strike Lament three times, instantly moving his body forward thirty meters. At the same time, he paid the price of consuming 3000 energy points.

Boom!

The skeletal giant's attack missed.

The skeleton was terrified and hurriedly dodged, but a streak of light suddenly appeared, severing his right arm and forcibly taking away the skeleton-assembled battle flag. The enemy was clearly more interested in the item than in him, the user.

"Gentlemen, let's fight to the death!"

"Don't forget the archives massacre; he won't show any mercy!"

"There are no cowards among the final players!"

A dozen players launched a close-quarters charge. Curses and spells could not shake the enemy's abnormal resistance, shooting skills could not break through the defense, and elemental attacks were completely negated by elemental resistance. If they wanted to fight for a sliver of hope, they could only fight to the death.

Jiang He put away the bone-assembled battle flag, turned around and kicked straight, shattering the chest of the swordsman who had ambushed him. The Death Boots, combined with his immense strength, sent the enemy flying thousands of meters away, like a cannonball smashing through the wall of a distant church.

Click!

A halberd thrust from behind, its blade piercing the dragon turtle's scales. The resulting gale swept across two surrounding streets. The silver-level elite ancient martial arts player charged forward with all his might, but failed to break through the enemy's impenetrable defense.

Jiang He turned and swept his hand, severing the halberd shaft with a lightning-fast chop. A black flintlock pistol suddenly appeared, and as sparks flew from the muzzle, a series of alluring and eerie black rose phantoms bloomed, while bullets filled with soul-destroying power pierced and killed the enemy.

Players flocked to the game one after another.

In the brief window of time gained, the skeletons were unable to retaliate effectively. A terrifying and despair-inducing toxin lingered within their bodies. Because the players died so quickly, this information was concealed in an unusual way.

"It must be...sent back..."
