Chapter 816 - 810: Resistance! Submission! Three Chess Pieces!
What appeared in everyone’s sight were precisely the Supreme of Fusion, Qing Dai, the Supreme of Space, Pei Ming, and the Supreme of Destiny, Zhu Ding.
The journey in "All Heavens OL" had endowed their bodies with the basic ability to survive in vacuum and extreme cosmic environments, not dying suffocatingly because of the surroundings.
"Please, come in, all three of you."
Ma Ran looked at the three special captives and didn’t waste words and pointed towards the direction of the Chaos Star Domain, directly expressing his intent.
Upon hearing this, Qing Dai’s previously expressionless face instantly changed. Although he did not speak, his eyes turned gloomy, his face full of reluctance.
The Supreme of Space, Pei Ming, was similar, with resistance in his eyes, although he was a bit more timid, not daring to show it too obvious in front of Ma Ran.
In this Chaos Star Domain, death was real death; their ranks would be seized by others. Which supreme with a functioning mind would willingly go?
They were definitely unwilling!
The Supreme of Destiny, Zhu Ding’s reaction was as usual, exceedingly bullish, looking at Ma Ran with an unflinching attitude, his tone cold and firm, "You say let me in, and I just go in? Then wouldn’t I become your subordinate?"
"For the Main Universe, fine."
"To fight for you, Ma Ran? No way!"
"If you have the courage, kill me!"
"I have not forgotten for a moment all that you’ve done to me. Even while battling in ’All Heavens OL,’ I constantly reminded myself, repeatedly warned myself, to never forget the hatred!"
"Once I’m given the chance and possess the strength, I will find a way to kill you, to bring you down utterly, to let you taste the humiliation I’ve suffered all these years!"
"This enmity, this hatred, is irreconcilable!"
"No matter what, I will never let you have your way! Even if it means my soul dispersing, my true spirit perishing, my rank being stripped! I, Zhu Ding, will never surrender!"
Zhu Ding always had this personality. Even after being immersed by the sand sculpture players in ’All Heavens OL’ for so many years, he never changed his nature.
Yet, speaking like this, he carried a bit of a "self-destructive" emotion.
If he truly believed he had even a billion-to-one chance of turning things around and defeating Ma Ran, he wouldn’t spew such nearly brainless arrogant statements but would choose to endure and develop, just like King Goujian of Yue enduring hardships.
Ma Ran merely glanced at Zhu Ding, seeing through all his thoughts: "You wish to die?"
"I can fulfill that wish for you, but it has to wait until the Chaos Star Domain’s war has completely ended."
"After all, currently there are many supreme rulers hoping to be personally buried by my hands, it’s not yet your turn."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ding’s expression instantly turned ugly.
He knew Ma Ran was telling the truth.
The truth is the most lethal weapon.
Not to mention, just moments ago, the Supreme of Soul, Prajna, also hoped to be personally taken down by Ma Ran?
That guy was defeated by the combined forces of the Supreme of Light and the Supreme of Darkness, and still felt unfulfilled, insisting on being personally annihilated by Ma Ran to feel honored.
Zhu Ding had to admit, in his current state and circumstance, being personally sent off by Ma Ran wouldn’t be a bad way to end things.
"Moreover..."
Ma Ran’s gaze focused on Zhu Ding, then swept over Qing Dai and Pei Ming, and said softly: "I don’t need to seek your approval."
"As the leader of the faction, I only need to leave a mark on you and cast you into the Chaos Star Domain, and that’s mission accomplished."
Upon hearing this, Pei Ming and Qing Dai couldn’t help but look at each other.
Though unwilling to admit it inwardly, the fact is, in the Chaos Star Domain, roles named "Executors" are in reality just chess pieces; even supreme rulers playing that role would have their memories completely shielded.
The Watermelon Spirit, incarnating the will of the unified Endless Plane, granted its numerous generals resources, backgrounds, talents, and a battle intuition cheat.
The will of the Main Universe granted Ma Ran the "piercing memory shield" cheat, and moreover...
Ma Ran could bestow this ability to any of his chess pieces.
Obviously, there’s no way Ma Ran would break the memory shield for Qing Dai, Pei Ming, Zhu Ding, and others.
"Hmph..."
Su Qiangwei stood beside Ma Ran, glaring fiercely at the three captives, the threat in her eyes glaringly evident.
Ma Ran wanted them all to enter the Chaos Star Domain, and yet they dared to chatter here.
This bunch really doesn’t know how to appreciate kindness.
Do they really think Ma Xiansheng is easy-going?
That guy is meticulous and petty!
"Understood."
Pei Ming, unnerved under Su Qiangwei’s fierce gaze, immediately expressed loyalty to Ma Ran: "I am willing to comply with your command."
Once marked, cast into the Chaos Star Domain, Qing Dai, Pei Ming, and Zhu Ding would naturally become Ma Ran’s combat power, something unavoidable, bound to happen.
Rather than going against the tide here, better to take a step back for broader vistas.
Going against Ma Ran was almost tantamount to suicide.
No matter how despairing it seems, Pei Ming was unwilling to do such brainless things.
He sometimes even suspected that Zhu Ding might have been mentally damaged when he held the Supreme of Destiny rank, turning into a madman, fool like the will of the Sin Universe, to oppose Ma Ran at every turn.
Isn’t that courting death?
"The wise know when to yield, I appreciate that." Ma Ran nodded slightly toward Pei Ming.
Qing Dai, the best, most patient undercover.
Though Pei Ming feared death, within his character and subconscious, there were exploitable bright spots. In the worst-case scenario, he could serve as a pure deterrence-type combat power.
As for Zhu Ding, there’s no need for much elaboration.
In the Real World, he and Ma Ran were at odds, a strangely tough nut that no dog would want to gnaw on, yet entering the Chaos Star Domain, with subconscious shielded, Zhu Ding would immediately become one of Ma Ran’s bravest, most ferocious generals!
And, the kind of general Ma Ran wouldn’t feel heartache about if he perished!
"..." Pei Ming lowered his head, staying silent, secretly signaling Qing Dai beside him with a glance, advising his companion not to act recklessly.
The situation is stronger than people, when it’s time to bow, you have to bow!
Integrity can’t keep them alive!
"Sigh..."
Qing Dai sighed softly.
Even as fellow captives, the Supreme of Light, Lin Ke’s treatment was better and it’s understandable, after all, that guy never overshadowed Ma Ran from the start, more cowardly than Pei Ming by ten thousand times.
But...
Why wasn’t even the Supreme of Soul, Prajna asked to enter the Chaos Star Domain?
They don’t believe Ma Ran could find a qualified person for the Supreme of Soul rank in such a short time!
How could there be such a coincidence?
"Your Excellency, Supreme of No Position, I have a question." Like a student asking in class, Qing Dai raised his hand.
Ma Ran glanced at him plainly, his tone calm, "Speak."
Qing Dai dared not keep any suspense or waste the other’s time. Upon getting approval, he immediately spoke: "If I remember correctly, the Supreme of Soul, Prajna, should also be your captive."
"Thus... I’m curious, does he have some extra value..."
Ma Ran directly interrupted Qing Dai’s speech: "Wrong."
He looked at the three supreme captives meaningfully, "Letting you enter the Chaos Star Domain is giving you an opportunity."
"Life and death are determined by destiny, whether you can seize the final chance at survival depends on your own performance and play."
"As for Prajna..."
"Serving as ’rations,’ he has no choice."
