Chapter 888 - 725: Setting Up the Game
Although there is a tent, from the battle preparation perspective, the tent is actually transparent.
Who would have thought they’d just be drinking, eating meat, dancing, singing, and playing music!!
The only thing that truly counts as battle preparation is Pava Landing chatting and demonstrating together with the two Mining Grandmasters.
Uriel, shocked, fast-forwarded, and it really was just hours of indulgence until they were all drunk. The chairman then took five female mercenaries to continue the revelry in the corner of the tent!
Everyone was at a loss, laughing and crying: "Very much the style of the Demon Race! Only by indulging desires can they unleash their combat power, right?"
Uriel, bewildered: "Is this the 0.000001% that creates miracles?"
Michael’s face turned grim: "Go back to the beginning and look carefully! Increase the precision of the transparency!"
Uriel wondered: "Boss suspects they are setting a trap?"
Michael said solemnly: "That’s right, because Pava Landing was the former Guardian God. He knows the power of the Divine Realm legion and has a battle preparation mindset, so he’s imparting techniques to the two weakest miners. Moreover, the truce rules have already been announced, waiting for each side to have a Sage participate. They know you, Uriel, are coming——so their cheerful celebration is to welcome you, Uriel, to save them?"
Only then did Uriel come to realize: "If they can all have a 0.000001% chance of entering the Spatial Gate, it means they actually have a 100% chance of escaping the storm and returning to Black Dragon City. But still, they choose to enter the Spatial Gate because they know returning means certain death!"
Michael said: "So, this trap is just to numb you!"
Uriel laughed: "Numb me? While dealing with the Angel Legion that’s activated the Power of the Constellation, they prevent me from holding back?"
Michael suddenly noticed something: "Pause!! Replay 3 seconds!!"
The frame stopped at the image of a bull’s head!
Sela was surprised: "The back of the bull’s head is red, it’s bleeding!"
Michael said: "Replay on the chairman, analyze frame by frame!"
In the one twenty-fourth of a second video replay, keen-eyed Raphael had a discovery: "It’s an illusion!"
Michael said solemnly: "Yes, sitting in the seat is an illusion! The food and drink in front of it have barely been touched; its true body is invisibly moving to the back of the bull’s head!"
Sela said: "It’s carving Shaman Runes! When did the chairman learn about runes?"
Uriel sighed: "Did you notice, I’ve only personally met the chairman once? And then he went off to train."
Michael nodded: "That’s right, the first time Uriel saw the chairman, he was returning from the Earth Flame Tribe with five female mercenaries, and it was discovered that his hand had the Power of Chaos then, but he didn’t have runes on his hand at that time. Now, this illusion’s hand has a circle of runes."
Sela was surprised: "But there are no embedded Rune Stones! Can we see what he’s carved?"
Michael said: "No, it’s sunken, unless it glows. Besides, there’s this Enchanting Demon’s dance continuously releasing illusionary fog obscuring the clarity of the video, showing that the Enchanting Demon is collaborating in setting the trap as well! Then those who came to dance later are releasing various light and shadow effects, all covering for the chairman as he completes the carving."
Uriel sighed: "All in all, he just carved two bulls’ heads and a Lizardman, but so what? Not to mention what level of rune a rookie less than a month into debuting could achieve, even a Divine Craftsman Level Rune merely enhances three land combatants, how much effect could it have?"
Sela sighed: "If not considering the Emperor personally deploying Power of the Constellation, these three Rune Warriors’ sudden appearance, plus the two Grandmasters plotting Divine Stone Ore bombs, would significantly impact the outcome of the battle."
Michael sighed: "The key is, he has the awareness to set the trap with cover, which shows a very high level of intelligence. No wonder he escaped from the Heroic Spirit Hall."
Gabriel laughed: "And melded with Beelzebub to evolve in the Void."
Uriel sighed deeply: "So outstanding, worthy of my creation! Deserving of the S-Level Trial Taker title, what a pity..."
Sela laughed heartily: "Actually, the most excellent thing is, five female mercenaries are always willing to be with him, but show no interest in Uriel at all!"
Uriel was angry: "Such low-grade stuff, why would I be interested!"
Everyone laughed: "Uriel, you may not care, but they mustn’t show initiative? They’re too foolish to recognize the opportunity."
Uriel slightly ruffled: "Forget it, just kill them all. How long until the event starts?"
"Tomorrow morning at 7:30. Still 17 hours, plenty of preparation time."
Uriel was almost speechless: "No, I don’t want to prepare for so long, I want to go out to trigger plots from a thousand years ago..."
...
At 5 AM, Chun was awakened by the system alert sound.
——System Alert: Congratulations! Your team member Dream Charm Xina absorbed and melded with a massive amount of Fallen Dream Angel power, successfully advancing into a High Tier Dream Charm Angel, gaining a qualitative leap in power.
——System Alert: Congratulations! Your eight team members... advanced to Initial Tier Dream Charm Angels...
...
Chun was amazed: "Xina, directly jumped from Initial Tier to High Tier?"
Xina rejoiced: "Master, I still have plenty of backup energy stored."
The goddess smiled: "She was originally close to Middle Tier. Once melting and transformation succeeded, she directly advanced to High Tier! I had good gains too, all at Initial Tier."
Looking at the eight dressed in white, especially Xina dressed in white, Chun felt a bit uncomfortable. Back then, when he first took Mina to train, the plan was to make her pretend to be an angel. In the end, she became a Dragon, yet Xina succeeded.
Liya said: "Since everyone has become angels, I’ll teach everyone the Healing Technique, after all, it’s a basic angel skill."
"Yes, Ma’am."
"Yes, Master."
It’s a truly packed schedule!
Chun checked the classroom, the white fog had been absorbed quite a bit. Looking again at the corner of the classroom, that curtain-like meat slowly inflated like a doll and began to stretch out.
Chun suddenly remembered the fake Tifa, wondering how she was now after being captured by Mina. Looking at the time, it was nearly evening, the Nightmare War should almost start, right? The opposing side losing a Baron, probably would retaliate aggressively, but also couldn’t rule out coming at night to attack Vivian to rescue the Daydream...
Vivian’s voice came from outside: "Everyone, the new factory opens today, I’m exhausted after an afternoon of work, so I won’t continue drinking with you all..."
Looks like she’s at the tavern now.
Then there was the sound of Vivian going upstairs to close the door.
Bilenna called out: "No worries now."
Vivian quickly fell asleep and reappeared in the classroom.
Then she hugged Chun tightly: "Darling, just thinking you’re always with me excites me uncontrollably, perhaps others think I’m excited about the new factory opening."
