Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era
Chapter 193: Exploiting The Ten Rules
[After you gave the command to the Absolute Compass, its magnetic needle soon spun around until it pointed West.]
[Seeing the magnetic needle point west, you summoned Order King by your side and used World Order, "Order! The Zenith Train Crew can only use Peak Iron rank power against native human contestants! In return, we’ll be able to unleash Peak Crystal rank power against Angels of Death and Train Conductors!"]
[Invisible fluctuations soon spread out with you as the center. World Order took effect, and you found yourself feeling an invisible restriction preventing you from using your true power.]
[Not only you, but Jade and the others also felt the same. If you wanted to, as the one who set this World Order up, you could withdraw it anytime and allow any of you to use your true power.]
[However, this World Order was specifically made to ensure that you and the Zenith Train Crew would be able to hold back against the native human contestants and not break the rules.]
[You explained that to Jade and the others, while adding, "However, if I merely weakened ourselves, that would be a disservice to my pride as the king. Since they dared restrict us with these rules, then it should be right for us to be compensated and use stronger power against these Angels of Death and Train Conductors."]
["I dare not raise our power rank to Initial Mythril rank since the gap between Crystal rank and Mythril rank is way larger than the gap between Normal rank and Platinum rank."]
["However, it’s more than possible to increase it to Peak Crystal rank. Although this does introduce the problem of increased energy consumption, I’ve been using the mana reservoir to power myself up."]
["Even the Iron-rank multiplication power I’ve been restricted to can’t be used to recover my energy."]
[You had discovered via a hint prompt that you could draw upon energy from external forces that have been shielded by the world rules. One of them is undoubtedly your train, and as a Train Conductor, you already have an innate connection with your train.]
[In the end, the strongest Angel of Death is only at Mythril rank. He wouldn’t be able to detect your abuse of your train’s module since it wasn’t an offensive type.]
[Hearing your words, Jade commented, "I had also realized that the rules don’t prevent us from attacking Angels of Death at our true power. It even allows us to use our true power against Train Conductors."]
["In other words, we can treat it as the Angels of Death, confident that they wouldn’t lose or even die. They only cared about the lives of the native human contestants, which meant that they had full confidence in their power and that Train Conductors wouldn’t dare attack them recklessly if they still wanted the Death Papyrus."]
["Due to that, you can use World Order to allow us to possess Peak Crystal rank power against them and the Train Conductors. Since we restricted ourselves just to those mere weaklings, it’s an action unworthy of our status."]
["For following their rules and putting ourselves this low, compensation is naturally required for this to be equal."]
[Listening to Jade’s explanation, you nodded in agreement. World Order only required the logic to be logical, not merely restricted to logical truth, but could also encompass personal logic.]
[At least, you do believe that since they dared restrict you this much just for those mere weaklings that you could easily kill with just a glare, you ought to be compensated for all this trouble.]
[Fortunately, your usage of World Order was correct, and your personal logic was accepted by the rules. Because of that, not only was your order of raising the Zenith Train Crew’s power rank to Peak Crystal rank approved, but the energy consumption wasn’t that high.]
[At least, with the mana you had stored beforehand in the Mana Reservoir, you could maintain this World Order for a year.]
[With the restriction of World Order in place, you no longer have to worry about the Zenith Train Crew accidentally breaking the Angel of Death’s ten rules.]
[With the Absolute Compass in your right hand for navigation, you and the others started applying buffs to yourself.]
["Two Circle Magic: Swift Speed!"]
["Two Circle Magic: Tiger Strength!"]
["Two Circle Magic..."]
[You, Astraea, and Jade kept stacking all the Two Circle Magic spell buffs that you three knew of. Since Scarlet wasn’t that proficient with magic and her usage of it would consume more energy than the rest of you three, you had also assisted her in applying magic buffs.]
[You had already known via Hint Prompt that using buffs, as long as they were not above Iron rank, were allowed.]
[Even if doing so would allow you to possess power that exceeded Iron rank, it was still within the rules since you didn’t use methods that were above Iron rank.]
[Two Circle Magic spells corresponded to the Iron rank. As an Eight Circle Mage and Arch Human, you could easily create hundreds of these low-ranking magic spells in just mere seconds.]
[Eventually, you, Jade, Astraea, and Scarlet managed to raise your practical combat power and effective attributes to Peak Silver rank. Any more than that were unachievable even by stacking tens of thousands of Two Circle Magic spells.]
[If you ever need to increase that, you could also use Bloodline Magic: Absolute Boundary to blur the boundary between Peak Silver and Initial Gold rank, allowing you to temporarily hold the power of an Initial Gold rank despite being at Peak Silver rank.]
["With this, our combat power is more than enough to deal with those native human contestants if we ever encounter them. Even if they possess a Death Papyrus, they will still need time to write our names, let alone the methods to know our names."]
["Also, from here on out, we’ll call each other by our first names’ initials, or just by communicating via the Zenith Chat Group."]
