My Ability Is Role-playing

"There’s no need for regret now."

Lin Ke looked sorrowfully at the place where Prajna had been before, thoughts flooding his mind.

Perhaps in the hearts of the audiences across All Heavens, among the two Supremes who came to Earth with the same mission, Prajna outweighed Lin Ke.

After all, whether Prajna was kind or evil, at least he fought to the very end, possessing arrogance, persistence, determination, and integrity.

However...

In Lin Ke’s view, the opinions of outsiders are meaningless.

For a being at the level of a Supreme Ruler, moral downfall doesn’t count for much. No matter how many bad deeds are done, nor how poor one’s reputation is, after several billion years, those in the know, even entire civilizations aware of it, will be erased by time.

In fact, those who are more ruthless would directly erase those in the know, achieving higher efficiency.

In this aspect, Prajna’s understanding wasn’t as profound as his, leading to a complete fiasco.

"Your Excellency Ma Ran."

Lin Ke calmly walked to the edge of the Red-Blue Treasure Mirror’s field of vision, quietly stepping out of the audience’s sight in the live broadcast room.

Knock down Supreme of Soul Prajna!

Unruly, once you extract their value, just kill them.

Similarly a leek, the others were much more docile compared to Prajna. Though they all resisted Ma Ran, unwilling to cooperate, at least they weren’t causing trouble.

"Something’s happened here!"

Suddenly, Su Qiangwei’s voice echoed directly in Ma Ran’s mind: "See what’s going on, I’m a bit unsure."

Ma Ran responded in the same manner, "I’ve been keeping an eye on your side, no need to worry, I’ll be there soon."

After replying, Ma Ran made some adjustments to the time around himself and Lin Ke, allowing them to speak millions of words or play dozens of games, and then rush to the Chaos Star Domain, in reality, only a moment has passed.

Such is the mastery of those who can freely manipulate time, doing anything in a composed manner.

Ma Ran turned his head, focusing his gaze on Lin Ke, saying nothing, just quietly watching him.

Lin Ke lowered his head, anxiously waiting for Ma Ran’s response, yet didn’t dare speak casually, for fear of angering this Supreme of No Position and being killed on the spot.

After all, Ma Ran’s battle records were achievements he couldn’t possibly attain.

The Supreme of Light’s only record of defeating a being at the same level was the unlucky and unfortunate Supreme of Soul, and it wasn’t even Prajna at his peak state — he just happened to catch a weak spot.

He was originally fearful of Ma Ran, and in his current weakened state, he dared not further provoke him.

"I am very pleased with your previous performance."

Ma Ran’s voice came through Lin Ke’s ears, allowing him to relax his tensed body slightly, exhaling a breath of impure air; the gentle glow around him evaporated the cold sweat that had flowed earlier, his head bowed even lower.

"Now that the great battle has fully commenced, it’s impossible for me to let you go back."

Upon hearing this, the tension in Lin Ke’s heartstrings immediately rose again.

"However..."

Ma Ran changed his tone: "Neither will I compel you to fight for me."

"Ultimately, we stand on different grounds."

"Let’s do this — I will restrict your freedom temporarily until the Final Battle concludes, how about that?"

Lin Ke felt a glimmer of hope upon hearing this.

He immediately bowed, his tone sincere and humble: "I will abide by your will, Your Excellency Ma Ran."

What an understanding opponent!

Being imprisoned beside Ma Ran isn’t restraint, but a form of protection!

If Sin... no, if the Main Universe wins, given Ma Ran’s current attitude, he probably won’t revisit old grievances.

If Endless Plane wins, Lin Ke could find excuses and reasons to demonstrate that he had delved deep behind enemy lines, swallowing insults and humiliation, battling to the last moment.

No matter which side ultimately wins, he has a high probability of surviving.

"Very well."

Upon receiving Lin Ke’s response, Ma Ran nodded slightly and immediately snapped his fingers.

Snap!

In an instant, Lin Ke felt a vast, overwhelming, terrifyingly high Supreme Origin surging from all directions, gradually enveloping him.

Indeed, there was no killing intent...

Moreover, Ma Ran has always been trustworthy.

His integrity is renowned throughout the Cosmos, known to many Supremes across the Endless Plane.

Lin Ke even once suspected that "something" on Ma Ran that could even move the collective will of the Endless Plane might just be an ability of "self-restriction leading to infinite strengthening."

Perhaps, the limitation Ma Ran placed on himself is sincerity and honesty — as long as he keeps his promises, fulfills his vows, and never goes back on his word, he becomes stronger?

The greater the impact of the promise, the greater the enhancement?

While Lin Ke was having this brainstorming session, the next moment, his body, divine soul, and will were compressed and condensed, transforming into a man’s ring, landing in Ma Ran’s palm.

He noticed a barrier between his consciousness and the Supreme of Light’s status, and to access his power, he must receive Ma Ran’s consent.

This kind of restriction and confinement is very reasonable.

Even in Low Martial and magic-deprived worlds, when an Upper Rank captures a defeated foe, they still feed them delayed poison or brand them with a slave mark. If Ma Ran hadn’t done these things, Lin Ke would instead feel worried, anxious, living each day in constant fear.

Now being temporarily refined into a ring on Ma Ran’s hand, retaining only the abilities to see, hear, and speak, all other Extraordinary Powers being near completely suppressed, Lin Ke felt at ease, hopeful for the future.

Suddenly, Lin Ke felt a whirl of the heavens and earth, and the scene before him rapidly changed.

It turned out that Ma Ran had just flickered in form, bringing him to the Chaos Star Domain.

However, at this moment, besides Supreme of Devouring Su Qiangwei and the Orange Spirit suspected to be the manifestation of Sin Universe’s will, there was another fruit.

Although exceptionally large, seemingly the size of a truck, Lin Ke immediately deduced its identity — it was indeed a watermelon!

To be precise, it was a Watermelon Spirit.

It rolled slowly on the spot for a moment before glaring across the vast chaos at the Orange Spirit.

Even though neither of the two fruits had something called "eyes," Lin Ke still believed they were attempting to kill each other with their gaze.

Done! Without needing deep thought, in an instant, Lin Ke surmised the identity of the Watermelon Spirit — the manifestation of the Endless Plane’s collective will!

Evidence? Logical chain? Reasoning?

All those were unnecessary.

Even separated by the Chaos Star Domain, unable to sense the aura of the Watermelon Spirit, with his Sixth Sense, he guessed the answer.

"..."

Lin Ke’s mind went blank, his consciousness somewhat dazed, producing the urge to swallow.

Unfortunately, as a ring, he couldn’t even manage to spin around Ma Ran’s finger.
