Mini World Game Console-Chapter 716 - 717: I’m Taking Them With Me Today, I’d Like to See Who Can Stop Me

"How is that possible?!"

In Luoyin City, a disbelieving cry echoed through the passage between the Fourth Ring and the Third Ring, which resembled a Heavenly Gate. All nearby Divine Descendants suddenly felt a strong palpitation!

When they took to the air to look towards the Third Ring Heavenly Gate, they saw the Twin Stars Great Law who governed 'the Moon,' the Sky Orbit Great Law who governed 'the Sun,' and the Vibration Listening Great Law of 'Listening to All Things,' all plummeting like wingless chicks!

"Twin Stars, Sky Orbit, Vibration Listening, you rebel against the Empire, conspire to murder His Majesty, assassinate Sony the Great, Yisu Great Law, and Sega Great Law, and you still think you can flee Luoyin City and evade the Great Lords' punishment? Impossible! Just wait for the punishment from the Great Lords!"

A petite Divine Guard, accompanied by two cloaked figures, ran and shouted as they flew, her voice so loud it nearly echoed through the Third and Fourth Rings. Nearby Divine Descendants who had been watching the excitement went silent for a moment, then immediately landed, returned home, covered themselves with blankets, and went to sleep.

His Majesty Xides is dead?! Sony the Great, Yisu Great Law, and Sega Great Law are dead too?! And the murderers are Twin Stars Great Law, Sky Orbit Great Law, and Vibration Listening Great Law!? Damn, Luoyin City is in upheaval! I need to rush home and sleep! This is not the time to stick my neck out. Once noticed and dragged into such royal court strife, ten lives wouldn't be enough. Better to go home and play cards.

However, besides these cunning old Divine Descendants who kept out of things that didn't concern them, there were also many fervent Divine Descendants loyal to the Empire and to Xides—Xides's Ambition Aura had even won over Sony, that thoroughly rebellious yet supposedly filial son, naturally capturing the hearts of many loyal ministers and fierce generals as well.

Hearing the Divine Guard's shout, the Divine Descendant Guard of Luoyin City immediately gathered, formed a battle formation, and encircled the three Great Laws. The leading Three-Star Divine Descendant Captain shouted, "His Majesty has ordered that the Sixteen Great Laws are to move to the Royal Court and await the opening of the Door of Annihilation! Why did you Great Laws leave the Royal Court without authorization?"

Ignoring the Three-Star Divine Descendant, the three Great Laws, their faces dark, rose from the ground high into the sky, positioning themselves above the Third Ring Heavenly Gate to gaze into the distance.

The Twin Stars Great Law frowned, looking at the distant spot where the three individuals had vanished without a trace. "We've miscalculated. I didn't expect the Different Dimension Coordinate to possess actual combat power. Their mental intimidation momentarily robbed us of control over our bodies... especially since our mental resistance isn't high."

The Sky Orbit Great Law closed their eyes. "They've fled into the houses, trying to use cover to evade our surveillance and move... but it's futile. The Fourth Ring is no longer a 'private area' under the Great Law agreement. We can exercise our authority to its fullest extent; they won't escape."

The Twin Stars Great Law continued, "Even if we find them, what then? Mental intimidation of that caliber can daze even us. Even if we're prepared next time, it will still give them a chance to escape. Moreover, we're not supposed to kill them but to hold them as leverage in negotiations with Xides—we can't use lethal force..."

"There are many Divine Descendants with mental resistance, and plenty among the Great Magistrates as well."

The Sky Orbit Great Law surveyed the gathering Divine Descendant Guard. "Our secret capture plan has completely failed, and the news has leaked. We can no longer control the situation alone. Forget about gaining any further advantage. Notify the others to help suppress the situation. Otherwise, Xides will react—he might even appear in the next second."

"Vibration Listening!"

Dangling in mid-air, dressed in a black and red jester suit, his face tear-streaked with makeup, the Vibration Listening Great Law chuckled and nodded. "Darling, your service has been processed successfully. Expect delivery right after the BEEP..."

The Divine Guard, whom they had been ignoring, finally lost her composure. She slapped her Drive Belt fiercely and transformed into the 'Three-Star Spirit Guardian' form, sprouting shadowy wings from her back and demonic horns from her head, her body seething with darkness. Her terrifying aura made heaven and earth stand still!

He was one of the strongest Three-Star Divine Descendants under Grand Duke Morag and, backed by the Divine Descendant Guard, possessed strength comparable to that of a Great Magistrate. He spoke with full confidence, unyielding and fierce, his killing intent chilling. "Three Great Laws, what is your purpose? With the Royal Court's decree, do you intend to rebel, to kill a Great Magistrate, to defy His Majesty? The Luoyin Defense Army is loyal to the Empire and swears to fight to the death!"

The Twin Stars Great Law looked at the nearly thousand Divine Guards who had gathered. Although the combat power of a Great Magistrate far surpassed that of a Divine Descendant, with such a large number of Divine Descendants, many of whom were Two-Star and Three-Star, the three Great Laws definitely wouldn't have an easy time.

The Twin Stars Great Law waved his hand. "First, don't slander me. The one who killed the Great Magistrate was Dragonborn Ross; it has nothing to do with me.

Second, the Emperor you are loyal to is alive and well. Don't listen to their rumors.

Lastly... since you are loyal to the Empire, that makes things easier."

The upside-down Vibration Listening Great Law suddenly let out a 'BEEP'.

At the same time, countless whistling sounds filled the sky above Luoyin City, where sun and moon shone together. Figures wreathed in light descended upon the Third Ring Heavenly Gate, standing alongside the three Great Laws.

As each arrival revealed their form, the faces of the Divine Guards, backed by their collective, gradually changed. Many even knelt on one knee, bowing their heads in salute. In an instant, a large portion of the nearly thousand Divine Descendants was kneeling.

Eventually, even the arrogant Three-Star Spirit Guardian Divine Descendant hurriedly reverted from his transformed state and knelt on one knee, his voice trembling, "We welcome Morphy Great Law!"

"Xides is my dear brother. You'll have to pay me more if you want me to betray him," said the ghost holding the fanged warhammer, a subordinate of 'Sadism Great Lord' Morag, Morphy Great Law, his face a mask of sorrow.

"I don't care about the rest, but the corpses of the Different Dimension Coordinates must be mine. This is a top-notch ingredient that Didra's number one gourmet cannot miss," giggled Rolling Earth Great Method, a beautiful youth picking his teeth with a steel pin, a subordinate of 'Decay Great Lord' Namira.

"All you think about is eating, eating, eating! Living people can do so many joyful things together. I really don't want to play with you," sighed Revealing Victory Great Method, a muscular man whose camouflage tattoos perfectly substituted for clothing, a subordinate of 'Corruption Great Lord' Sangkien.

"Cut the macho crap! Let's hurry up and catch them, then go make trouble for Xides. Why should he get all the benefits?" growled Warhammer Great Law, a Fanged Orc wielding dual giant axes, a subordinate of 'Orc Great Lord' Makaras.

"Don't be careless. Xides is full of tricks, and Sony is even craftier. We might not be able to capture the Different Dimension Coordinate successfully," Wild Hunt Great Law, a Great Sword Master in Wolf Armor carrying a two-handed greatsword, a subordinate of 'Werewolf Great Lord' Farkas, analyzed calmly.

"Since we've decided to act, there's no turning back. Let's be serious," Apocalypse Great Law, a frail old man holding a scythe, a subordinate of 'Plague Great Lord' Poite, said with a cough.

"The moment we decided to cooperate, we secured an invincible position. All that remains is to see how much Xides is willing to concede," Sleepless Great Method, one of the eyeless Blind Ones holding a scepter, a subordinate of the 'Army of Nightmares' Valmina, stated indifferently.

Countless Divine Descendants knelt in obedience, the Divine Descendant Guard trembling, daring not to move!

The arrivals were none other than seven Bloodline Great Laws!

Together with Twin Stars, Sky Orbit, and Vibration Listening Great Laws, a total of ten Great Laws now stood upon the Third Ring Heavenly Gate!

These ten combined were equivalent to half the Didra Empire!

"The two Great Laws under Great Lord Xergla and Great Lord Vicus wish to help neither side. Sega Great Law and Yisu Great Law are dead. Excluding the enigmatic Great Shadow Method, and Sony the Great, who opposes us..."

The Twin Stars Great Law looked at the Three-Star Divine Descendant Captain and said coolly, "All other Great Laws have decided to act together."

"The Empire belongs to the Great Lords and the Great Laws. Are you loyal to the isolated Xides, or to us, who represent the majority of the Empire's Divine Descendants?"

Sky Orbit was slightly startled. "Twin Stars, you..."

The Twin Stars Great Law smiled. "Why not take it a step further? Once we decided to cooperate, we represented the majority of the Empire's power... In that case, should we just stand by and watch Xides become the seventeenth Armored Great Lord?"

The other Great Laws remained silent, but their eyes betrayed their racing thoughts.

Regardless of whether their exteriors were crude or aged, these individuals who had clawed their way up to become Great Magistrates all possessed a depth of cunning far beyond that of a young whelp like Sony, whose mind was not yet fully formed.

Morphy swung his fanged warhammer, making the air CRACKLE. He laughed. "But neither you nor I possess a Key of Oblivion, do we?"

"Morphy Great Law, that doesn't sound like something you'd say."

The Twin Stars Great Law looked up with a cold smile. "Just because Xides has a Key of Oblivion, you're willing to let him become an Armored Great Lord?"

"Or what?" Morphy laughed. "Am I the kind of demon who gets jealous when he sees others succeed and find happiness, and then wants to destroy it all?"

At this, all the Great Laws couldn't help but twitch their lips. Warhammer Great Law even burst out laughing like a squealing pig, his abdominal muscles trembling.

Morphy was a Bloodline Great Law of Morag, his veins flowing with a filth comparable to excrement. He was arguably Didra's most detestable troublemaker, whose greatest pleasure in life was ruining other people's good fortune!

"Enough," the Twin Stars Great Law said, his smile fading. "Morphy, you don't need to introduce yourself; we all know what kind of people we are... Regardless, once we capture the Different Dimension Coordinates, we'll make Xides agree to set aside this dispute, hand over the Key of Oblivion for joint development, and we will co-preside over this war."

"If Xides cannot become a Great Lord, our own masters will surely be pleased."

Sky Orbit still looked worried. "But what if Xides refuses to compromise and doesn't hand over the Key of Oblivion? Then...?"

"Then this Dimension War cannot begin," the Twin Stars Great Law said lightly.

Sky Orbit replied, "But the Great Lords all demand the start of Dimension Wars. Won't they blame us then?"

"That's only if the Great Lords *can* blame us," the Twin Stars Great Law glanced at Sky Orbit, a faint chill in his bright blue eyes.

Sky Orbit immediately remembered that the Great Lords could no longer intervene in the mortal realm. Unless a Dimension War erupted and Plane Energy fed back to Didra, it was impossible for the Great Lords to descend!

If Xides were willing to compromise and agreed to co-preside over the war, it would benefit them all. Everyone would gain, and the Twin Stars Great Law, who orchestrated this operation, would become the core leader of the Bloodline Great Laws, second only to the Three Imperial Clans!

If Xides refused to compromise, that would be even better. The Plane Energy couldn't feed back, the Great Lords would remain unable to intervene, and the Great Magistrates could continue their unconstrained, lofty rule!

Advance or retreat, they wouldn't lose this time. The only losers would be Xides and the Great Lords.

But they couldn't speak of this. Didra was bound by covenants with the Great Lords, so these Bloodline Great Laws had to maintain their loyalty, no matter what.

These things could only be done, not said.

A chill unavoidably rose in Sky Orbit Great Law's heart: besides not losing, there would also be a guaranteed winner—the Twin Stars Great Law! The Twin Stars Great Law, by leading this operation, would gain immense prestige, possibly even breaking the constraints of the Three Imperial Clans to become the next Imperial Emperor! Moreover, his timing was impeccable. He struck at the Different Dimension Coordinate when all Great Magistrates were gathered in Luoyin City, just before Xides was to open the Door of Annihilation. The Coordinate was like rootless duckweed in Didra; besides Xides, no one cared if it lived or died, and no Great Lord would shelter it. That's why everyone was willing to participate! Even if Dragonborn Ross hadn't appeared, even if Sega Great Law and Yisu Great Law hadn't died, this coup might still have happened! Even the two deceased Great Magistrates might have joined this operation! From the very beginning, the Twin Stars Great Law intended to become the greatest traitor in Didra's history!

The next second, Sky Orbit's thoughts were confirmed.

Within the high-speed transit corridor that connected the Tenth Ring of the spaceport to the First Ring of the Royal Court, a vast contingent of Didra's military forces appeared! Divine Descendant officers were a minority; the majority were Didra's mortal warriors!

Luoyin City, which had only permitted Divine Descendants for a millennium, shockingly broke its prohibition right before the Dimension War. Tens of thousands of mortal warriors were now trampling the Divine Descendants' land and breathing their air!

Many Divine Descendants couldn't bear it. But at this moment, the Twin Stars Great Law looked at the other Great Magistrates and said, "The Royal Court Guard is composed of the Mei Nielusi Divine System, completely loyal to Xides. Plus, the Royal Court has countless defense systems. We need more troops. Do you think Xides will yield if we don't bring the fight to his doorstep?"

"The Didra military is willing to attack the Royal Court?" Wild Hunt Great Law asked with a frown.

"There's a ready-made excuse: Dragonborn Ross has seized control of the Royal Court and is holding Emperor Xides hostage. What matters is our stance."

The Twin Stars Great Law said leisurely, "I summoned the troops this time under the pretext of initiating the war, ensuring the War Zone Commanders loyal to Xides remained on guard in the Outer World. As long as all ten of us Great Magistrates declare our position simultaneously, these warriors will have to believe it, whether they want to or not!"

The ten Great Magistrates exchanged glances and nodded. "Agreed."

Then, the ten Great Magistrates, each in their own name, issued orders to all Divine Descendants and soldiers. Though utterly horrified, bound by bloodline obedience and systemic constraints, no one objected. They were willing to obey the ten Great Magistrates' command to attack the Royal Court and rescue Emperor Xides!

Emperor Xides was the Imperial Emperor.

But the ten Great Magistrates *were* the Empire!

Out of the corner of his eye, Sky Orbit glanced at the Twin Stars and saw a smile curve the latter's lips. In his heart, he understood everything. Great Magistrates, Divine Descendants, the military! From this moment on, Twin Stars' prestige had already surpassed Xides's! The rebellions of people like Oathbreaker and Dragonborn Ross were not even one ten-thousandth as significant as this! Visible betrayal isn't frightening; invisible betrayal is.

The Twin Stars Great Law glanced at the nine Great Magistrates beside him and then down at the countless troops of Divine Descendants below, knowing he was just one step away from success.

He declared spiritedly, "Dragonborn Ross has taken Emperor Xides hostage to sabotage the Dimension War! He even provided the Different Dimension Coordinate an opportunity to escape! First, capture the Different Dimension Coordinate! Then, breach the Royal Court and rescue His Majesty!"

...

...

"Is it really safe here?"

In a secret room on the third floor of an ordinary three-story villa in the Fourth Ring, Ren Xingmei sat on the edge of the bed and asked softly.

Lorifes removed his Divine Guard helmet, let down his hidden long hair, and spoke while combing it, "According to Sony, this house was built to the standards of a Great Magistrate's residence. The walls are lined with Great Lord arrays, capable of blocking all Great Lord spell detection and influence. It's even more dangerous outside. The sun and moon in the sky are monitors, and the air itself will listen to our voices."

"Logically, the other Great Magistrates shouldn't know you two are the real ones. Yet, three Great Laws targeted us precisely. If that buxom one hadn't suddenly unleashed her aura..."

Lorifes looked at the silent Dong Chengling. "We would have definitely been captured then."

After Dong Chengling was enchanted by Ren Suo, her Fourth-Stage Whirlwind could no longer be used for casting spells, but she could still circulate its power. When they passed through the Third Ring Heavenly Gate earlier, they were attacked. Dong Chengling immediately exhausted her Spiritual Energy, erupting with fourth transformation intimidation, which barely deterred the three Great Laws for a few seconds.

Ren Xingmei asked, "Then how did they find us?"

"If not by appearance, then by sound. Remember that clown among our attackers? That was Grand Duke Night Mother's Vibration Listening Great Law. He can record any sound. Perhaps he identified you two by your heartbeats..."

Lorifes sighed. "I didn't consider that. Otherwise, your brother and I would have definitely found a way to alter your heartbeats..."

"We've done our best," Ren Xingmei consoled. "If we get caught, it's destiny."

"Destiny, my foot! I'm going to be a ruler, someone superior to others! I refuse to die here like this, unfulfilled!"

Lorifes said through gritted teeth, "According to your brother, Ross is likely to become a great hero of the Didra Empire. Then I'd be the hero's sister, possessing natural political capital! I might even become the supreme leader of the Didra Empire... How can I possibly die here?"

"And you? Would you be content dying here?"

Ren Xingmei was taken aback, then said, "I'm not content."

"But perhaps... dying here wouldn't be so bad."

Lorifes frowned at her and asked, "What do you mean?"

"He's already taken too many risks to save us..." Ren Xingmei said softly. "I always cause him trouble, yet I can't hold back my feelings..."

"When we get back, we might face the mundane worries of daily life, family squabbles, and I might even get an answer I don't want... Rather than that, perhaps dying here, increasing their chances of escape, becoming his unforgettable moonlight, his vermilion mark..."

SLAP!

Lorifes slapped Ren Xingmei, her face turning red.

Ren Xingmei was stunned, but Lorifes wasn't finished. He pounced on her, slapping her again and again. Ren Xingmei came to her senses and started to fight back, struggling and retaliating. She suddenly triggered a 'Time Roaming' and turned the tables on Lorifes.

While the two younger girls rolled around on the floor scuffling, Dong Chengling sat apart, completely unresponsive, focused on reading a Didran book.

"Why are you hitting me?"

"Because I'll feel awful if I don't hit you!"

"What does you feeling awful have to do with me?"

"It has everything to do with you when I hit you!"

Lorifes managed to pin Ren Xingmei down. "What I hate most are people like you! I scheme and struggle, going through hell and high water to earn respect and achieve success, all to prove I'm not inferior, that I won't lose to destiny! And you? You give up so easily, without even trying! And to top it off, our bodies are almost identical!"

Ren Xingmei arched her back, flipping Lorifes over and straddling him. "I have tried! You have no idea how hard I've tried! I was even prepared to support him for the rest of his life!"

"Then go support him!"

"He doesn't need it right now!"

"Then break his legs so he can't live without you!"

Ren Xingmei thought for a moment, then shook her head. "No, I can't bring myself to do it."

"You're willing to consider breaking his legs, so why don't you dare to keep fighting, to keep snatching him back?" Lorifes locked Ren Xingmei in a rear cross lock and declared fiercely, "Worries? The future? Holding him back? What others think? These challenges give you the motivation to strive! Even if you fall, your bearing can still be magnificent!"

Ren Xingmei, struggling for breath, gasped, "But won't I still fall?"

"If you fall, can't you get up and keep trying?" Lorifes leaned close to Ren Xingmei's ear and whispered, "Do you really think Ross would accept my feelings?"

Ren Xingmei froze, her struggles weakening.

"His thinking is just as crappy as yours—all about not wanting to hold me back or some nonsense. But do you know what our kind of relationship is called? A cursed fate! And a cursed fate means even if we go to Purgatory, I'm dragging him down with me! Clench your teeth, refuse to let go! If we can't live together, we die together!"

"Why can't you just trust yourself, and trust him?"

Lorifes, also tired from talking, let go of Ren Xingmei. He stood up, caught his breath, and said, "I know this isn't how a normal person thinks, but I don't need to live like a normal person anyway." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Ren Xingmei was silent for a moment, then turned. "Lorif—"

Suddenly, a loud BOOM from below shook the house violently!

"They've noticed this house's unique structure!" Lorifes said immediately. "We can't stay! We have to go!"

Lorifes walked to the secret room and activated the mechanism. He let out a breath. "Thankfully, there's a well door here we can jump out from directly. Quick, I'll go below and catch you—"

However, Lorifes quickly closed the well door again, looking as if he was about to cry. "There are so many people surrounding us down there too!"

"Weren't there only three Great Laws hunting us? How did so many people show up!?"

In that instant, Ren Xingmei's thoughts raced. She immediately stood up. "Lorifes, speed me up! I'll jump from the well door to draw away the pursuers. You take Teacher Dong and find a way to escape!"

Lorifes grew angry. "Was everything I just said for nothing? Why are you again—"

"It's different for me. My Passive Ability gives me one second of invulnerability in dangerous situations. I have the highest chance of escaping," Ren Xingmei said earnestly. "And I'm a Different Dimension Coordinate. They won't kill me; I'll be safe! You're the one who's not safe!"

"Right now, every person who escapes counts!"

Lorifes's eyebrows raised slightly. He glanced at Dong Chengling. Ren Xingmei quickly said, "She doesn't understand us, so you don't need to consult her. Hurry, we don't have time! Let's do this."

Lorifes clicked his tongue. "Fine, fine, just don't regret it—"

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, there was a howling sound, and the house behind Lorifes was obliterated by a raging wind. The unobstructed radiance of the sun and moon shone down on the three of them!

"My three guests, that tiny room isn't very comfortable, is it? How about coming to my larger room? I'll take good care of you," said Morphy, floating in the air with a wolf's-tooth hammer in hand, smiling at them like a friendly uncle.

Before them, an army of tens of thousands darkened the skies. Their entire field of vision was almost completely filled with warriors armed to the teeth.

Oh ho, we're done for this time. Vibration Listening Great Law descended from the sky, tilted its head at the three of them, and said, "Hey, how come... there's an extra one?"

"The white-haired one isn't needed. The other two are the Different Dimension Coordinates."

"I see... But you three seem to have a good relationship, don't you? How about this: come with us willingly, and I won't kill this little white-haired sister," Morphy said with a smile.

Lorifes's eyes lit up. He stepped forward, about to agree, but Dong Chengling suddenly placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Although I don't agree with your twisted logic, there's one thing you said that I acknowledge."

Dong Chengling looked at the vast army, the countless Divine Descendants, and the ten Great Laws before them. She smiled faintly. "If we can't live together, we'll die together. And also... trust each other."

Suddenly, a figure materialized in the void, landing gently among the three of them.

The Great Laws and Divine Descendants frowned slightly—this was a No-Hunting Zone; how could someone perform Spatial Movement here?

But he was just one person, and dressed in women's clothes at that. He wasn't a concern.

Twin Stars Great Law's gaze flickered. "He might be an assassin trying to kill the Different Dimension Coordinates! Capture the coordinates quickly!"

Morphy sneered and extended his left hand. A powerful suction force descended on Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei, about to pull them in!

Just then, the figure who had appeared embraced Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei around their waists. Simultaneously, a powerful spiritual intimidation erupted from him, causing all the warriors and Divine Descendants to freeze for a moment!

Fortunately, they had already prepared mental defense barriers in advance, so they were only momentarily stalled and suffered no further ill effects.

"Let them go, and I'll give you a way out," the Twin Stars Great Law said loudly, concerned for the lives of the Different Dimension Coordinates.

The figure snorted. "But I intend to take them with me."

"Oh?" The Twin Stars Great Law looked down at the four of them, spreading his hands. "There are ten Bloodline Great Laws here, thousands of Divine Descendant Warriors, and seventy thousand of Didra's elite warriors. You're just one person. How do you plan to take them away?"

The man paused for a moment, then nodded. "Indeed, one of me isn't quite enough."

Twin Stars smiled faintly, thinking that he must capture this man and force out the method of Spatial Movement in the No-Hunting Zone. Still, he said pleasantly, "Let them go, and I'll let you leave."

"I'll need at least five more people."

Everyone was slightly taken aback.

Then, five more figures appeared before them.

Ren Suo looked up at the sky filled with enemies. He tightly embraced the slim waists of Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei and confidently declared, "I'm taking them with me today! Let's see who can stop me!"
