Mini World Game Console-Chapter 734 - 735 I Am Ultimately Kind
In a state of 100% complete control, the appearances of the six people before him were shown in intricate detail. Ren Suo somewhat vaguely recognized nearly all of them: Yun Wangshu, Ren Han's former husband; Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Changsheng; the Little Bald Guy, an Earth Spirit from Shenhai City who used to frequent the Midnight Walker Stall; and a white-haired Great Han. He also recognized two of the Ren Family's ancestors: one was a petite girl wearing jeans and a white shirt, the Taibai Plains Spirit; the other was a slender and seductive woman with green hair and a lolita dress, the Qingqiu Ground Spirit.
Moreover, Yun Wangshu and Changsheng were both unexpectedly Fourth-Rank Cultivators! It could also be that they had been Fourth-Rank Cultivators all along, and Ren Suo simply hadn't known because he had never been their enemy. But without a doubt, they were extremely powerful, even among those of the Fourth Rank! Without any Cultivation Techniques or system, they had relied entirely on their own Talents to hone their Fourth-Turn Combat Power, almost pushing their spells to the extreme within their respective domains!
The white-robed Yun Wangshu made a throat-slitting gesture. In that instant, moonlight solidified, transforming into a rain of a thousand arrows, into a Heaven-slicing Saber!
Triggering the Fire Pearl thrice, Ren Suo pressed his hands to the ground. Three ice gates erupted, blocking the path and eclipsing the moon! The enhancement from the Fire Pearl manifested not only in spell damage but also in spell range, quantity, and consumption! With the Strengthening from both the Fire Pearl and 'The Demon King Returns,' the effects of Ren Suo's spells could almost compare to those of a true Fourth-Rank Awakener.
It's a pity the 'Divine Light Crystal' hasn't fully charged since I got back. Otherwise, equipping this prop would allow for endless combat… Ren Suo mused, considering that while the rewards from the trip to Didra had been disproportionate to its risks, it had yielded the 'Divine Light Crystal,' a prop with immense tactical value.
With several loud booms, the three ice gates were shattered by an invisible Divine Wind, and Changsheng advanced through the air. His lean figure was inconspicuous in the moonlit night, but when he moved his hands, the airflow of the entire world seemed to listen to his command! The sharp Divine Wind twisted the air. Ren Suo felt as if he were being torn apart by an Azure Dragon, about to be pulverized in the next second!
He activated 'Mage's Death-Defying Feather.' Ren Suo turned into an afterimage to dodge, and Changsheng's Divine Wind slammed into the Door of Truth without reservation. However, the Door of Truth remained unaltered, not even producing a sound; all attacks seemed to be absorbed by that slim crack in the door.
Indeed, the mission requirement is to prevent the Seekers from touching the Door of Truth, not to prevent them from damaging it… The Door of Truth is invulnerable in its regular state and only reacts when touched by a Seeker. While swiftly processing the current game information, Ren Suo broke into the enemy's rear!
Coming to meet him was the white-haired Great Han, built like a giant, with the Little Bald Guy sitting on his shoulder! These two were not Seekers. Ren Suo almost instantly understood their roles in the game: bystanders. Seekers and non-Seekers were very easy to distinguish; the Desire in one's eyes couldn't be faked. Yun Wangshu's and Changsheng's eyes were turbid and zealous, but these two's eyes were clear and transparent.
The white-haired Great Han's eyes glinted. His body suddenly transformed into chaotic afterimages, heading straight for Ren Suo! This was a Space-like Spell—turning the all-corroding black shadow into an unstoppable offensive! With a 150% thought-speed boost and the three Thinking Cards Ren Suo had purchased, their effectiveness was on full display. Ren Suo saw the Great Han's attack completely, even deducing the effect of his move from the Spiritual Energy fluctuations! A high-speed spatial movement based on Shadow Spells, simultaneously covering attack, defense, and movement! Used well, it's an invincible opening move; used poorly, it's a suicidal charge!
The white-haired Great Han's Shadow Sprint was incredibly fast, launched with almost no time to dodge, and it slammed solidly into Ren Suo! However, the Great Han felt no impact, instead continuing to rush forward without losing momentum!
He activated 'Time Roaming' to dodge the impact. At that moment, a pair of hands glowing red grabbed the necks of the Great Han and the Little Bald Guy, flipped them over forcefully, and swung them in a half-circle in the air before smashing them heavily to the ground! Ren Suo exerted some Force, aiming for their occiputs as they landed. When grabbing their necks, he applied pressure with 'Finger Lock.' That should have definitely broken their necks.
Whether they died or not was irrelevant; there wouldn't be any reward anyway. But after this, those two should be incapable of rejoining the battle.
"One, two."
The lightning-fast exchange of attacks and defenses between Ren Suo and the white-haired Great Han was heart-poundingly tense and happened in mere moments. In reality, less than three seconds had passed, and Changsheng and Yun Wangshu, who were behind Ren Suo, still hadn't reached the Door of Truth. After the fierce battle, Ren Suo's Bead Rotation Matrix had been continuously operating. He had now stacked 9 Wind Pearls and 10 Earth Pearls. His Agility felt enhanced by about 10%, and his Defensive Magic was 10% stronger—better than nothing.
Opportunely, Ren Suo had created a Five-Star Bead Chain through precise manipulation, boosting the effect of his next spell by 200%! Despite the distance to the Door of Truth, when Ren Suo cast his spell, a massive, sharp, and explosive Ice Rose instantly bloomed near it, encasing the Door of Truth in ice and blocking the two from approaching it further.
Just then, a sweet and naive battle cry rang out. The Taibai Plains Spirit summoned countless vines, which transformed into hundreds of long spears, blotting out the sky as they thrust forward. Two thousand years ago, this Earth Spirit, which had performed a Spiritual Exchange with an ancestor of the Ren Family, had originally intended to hire them to clear out the Demons and Ghosts in its territory. Two thousand years later, apart from its clothing, this Earth Spirit had made no progress whatsoever.
Too weak.
Empowered by Fire Pearls, Ren Suo activated 'Storm Restraint' and 'Flame Overlord.' He aimed his left fist at the Taibai Plains Spirit. A dancing Tornado, wreathed in boiling Fiery Flames, roared as it burned through all the vine spears, like a fire dragon consuming the Taibai Plains Spirit completely!
"The third one."
Witnessing this, Yun Wangshu and Changsheng finally abandoned the Door of Truth for a moment and turned to attack him together!
Suddenly, the world before Ren Suo flipped upside down. The night sky was below, the lake above, left was right. He became the sole individual defying the current in this world, like a novice driver going the wrong way on a busy highway. All of a sudden, the Qingqiu Ground Spirit thrust a long sword towards him. Ren Suo stepped back, unleashing a Fire Tornado, trying to create distance for battle analysis. But then he felt a chill on his back as an ancient blade mercilessly tore through his 'Gauze Clothing' and impaled his chest! Not just up and down, left and right, but even front and back had been inverted!
The Qingqiu Ground Spirit withdrew its long sword. Ren Suo adjusted his Bead Turning, and with the Healing enhancement from Water Pearls, his shattered chest swiftly healed.
"You must be very uncomfortable, right?" the enthralling voice of the Qingqiu Ground Spirit whispered beside Ren Suo's ear. "No one can fight in such an inverted world. You'll watch helplessly as you get hurt—AARGH!"
Ren Suo transformed into a flurry of feathers. His right hand, empowered by the Demon King's strengthening effect, channeled 'Finger Lock' and 'Fire Tornado,' mercilessly piercing the Qingqiu Ground Spirit's chest and abdomen!
"Fancy tricks," Ren Suo said blandly. "Don't apply the thinking of an Upright Ape to me."
"The fourth one."
The world before him returned to normal. Ren Suo expressionlessly withdrew his right hand, tossing the mangled body of the Qingqiu Ground Spirit aside, and turned to face Changsheng and Yun Wangshu. Changsheng's spells hadn't changed in a thousand years: it was always just a slash! His former master had been elevated to divine status, and consequently, his Divine Wind Slash carried an unstoppable sense of divine judgment as it struck at Ren Suo from all directions! Yun Wangshu's spellcasting was still limited to a single Moonlight Spell, but that also equated to innumerable variations of Moonlight Evolved Spells! Now, with the night environment providing him a significant home-field advantage, his slightest spellcasting set off a near-tidal surge of moonlight that threatened to extinguish Ren Suo!
Facing the overwhelming strikes, Ren Suo lowered his eyelids and stood still, as if resigned. Just as the wind and moon were about to touch him, Ren Suo suddenly vanished, appearing directly behind Yun Wangshu! It was the ordinary teleport from 'Within Reach, Yet Worlds Apart'!
A sharp tornado, wreathed in boiling flames and accompanied by a 'Finger Lock' that could pierce through anything, was aimed to shred its target into popcorn!
Flames!
Spiral!
Pile Driver!
Just as Ren Suo was about to unleash a furious assault on the back of Yun Wangshu's neck, a sudden thought crossed his mind. Unlike the others, Ren Suo had a bit of a connection with Yun Wangshu. When playing 'High Energy Ahead,' he had once sought divination from Yun Wangshu in a Buddhist Temple, and Yun Wangshu had directed him to find a truly blessed Magic Artifact within the temple. It wasn't much of a favor, and Yun Wangshu has probably forgotten me by now, but I still remember this. I always felt that one day I'd use this as a starting point to chat with Ren Han's ex-husband. In the exchange menu, the 'Connection with Yun Wangshu' was worth 50 Truth Points; Zhao Huo's was merely three times that amount. Ren Suo was aware of the hesitation in his heart.
Kind people are always like this; kindness springs up without regard for time or place.
But, who am I if not such a person?
Kindness doesn't fade away just because sentimentality does.
It seems… there's no other way…
[Sold: 'Connection with Yun Wangshu'. Received: 50 Truth Points.]
The 'Flame Spiral Pile Driver,' enhanced by the Fire Pearl, burst forth unforgivingly at the nape of Yun Wangshu's neck, smashing him from mid-air completely into the ground!
"The fifth one."
Ren Suo grunted, quickly retreating from Changsheng as droplets of blood from his right arm sprinkled down. To take down Yun Wangshu, he had been forced to endure a slash from Changsheng; his 'Gauze Clothing' was punctured instantly as if it were two mere sheets of paper. If not for the 17 Earth Pearls he had stacked, significantly boosting his body's defensive power, his right arm would have been severed! The Water Pearls triggered continuously, and Ren Suo's right arm healed in moments. But by then, Changsheng had already caught up. Driven by both a thirst for knowledge and a desire for vengeance, the Divine Wind Slashes he executed now left Ren Suo no openings to exploit!
But it didn't matter anymore. Ren Suo's main goal was not to defeat them all but to protect the Door of Truth as it kindled the world's Primordial Substance.
「Suddenly, a sound came from the outside world.」
Ren Suo paused the game, unlocked the Pandora's Magic Box device, and saw several messages on his phone.
Young Master Mu: "Going home to sleep. We're going out to play on the next rest day, Xiao Suo, look forward to it~"
Dong Chengling: "Do you want me to call you over for breakfast tomorrow morning, or will you come over on your own?"
Gu Yueyan: "Going to bed before 12 o'clock is best. Don't stay up late. Goodnight."
Ren Xingmei: "Ah, I wonder if I'll dream of Mom and Dad tonight. Feeling a bit scared. Goodnight, bro."
Luna: "(Voice message)"
Ren Suo opened his phone and drafted a 'Goodnight' message to send to the group. Then he thought about it, deleted the group message, and chose to reply to each person individually.
"Mighty rivers from tiny streams flow…" Ren Suo thought.
After replying, Ren Suo stood up to look around his room. The room didn't feel quite as clean today since the staff had been there to install the Pandora's Magic Box. With the game issue virtually resolved, Ren Suo summoned his Clone, handed him an apron, and set him to work cleaning and doing the laundry.
However, right after Ren Suo summoned the Clone, his thoughts began to waver.
No, I should treat the Clone a little better.
No, I should show respect to the Clone.
No, I should serve the Clone.
But… why would I?
After three seconds of thought, Ren Suo found absolutely no reason to do so and promptly ignored these strange ideas, sticking to the original plan and putting the Clone to work.
Summoning a Clone to do chores during his free time was one of the few things Ren Suo considered he'd done extremely right. If the Door of Truth exchange menu had items to enhance skills, Ren Suo would prioritize strengthening 'Night Moon Warrior.' The current four hours of work each day were not maximized. If the duration could be extended to twelve hours, Ren Suo would consider having the Clone work a grueling 996 schedule, leaving one day free as a trump card for outings.
To obtain the Door of Truth, I've already decided to strive 24/7, without rest. Without hardship, without struggle, how could it be worthy of being my Clone?
