Mini World Game Console-Chapter 765 - 766: Win and Run

Actually, after defeating Chen Liao, the Gatekeeper had very little Spiritual Energy left to use. The amount of Spiritual Energy that a Fourth Turn Level Transcendent can use is limited. Even after exchanging for various complete versions of awakened spells, and even with the power of the Five Intense Flame Beads strengthening his spells and reducing energy loss, the Gatekeeper's Spiritual Energy was depleted under his barrage of indiscriminate, map-leveling attacks.

In the previous two hundred or so playthroughs, Ren Suo always tried to reduce the number of enemies he faced simultaneously in this global battle by using dialogue tactics and the empty fort strategy. He divided the enemies into three batches and defeated them one by one.

However, Ren Suo eventually found that the Gatekeeper's Spiritual Energy was never enough. Even if he was extremely cautious and utilized the Bead Rotation Matrix to its limits, it still couldn't compensate for the loss of Spiritual Energy.

Even after pushing all the favorable conditions to the extreme, he could only defeat the second batch of enemies.

If he hadn't defeated Yu Kuangtu in advance, the Gatekeeper wouldn't have even been able to overcome Yu Kuangtu.

Just now, Yu Kuangtu's flames almost melted the ice layer of the Door of Truth. Essentially, the Gatekeeper's Spiritual Energy was no longer able to continue freezing the Door of Truth.

After repeated attempts, Ren Suo finally found a way to break through the impasse.

He first gave Yu Kuangtu the chance to transform, allowing him to successfully elementalize. However, once elementalized, Yu Kuangtu was essentially a fire elemental creature. Although Ren Suo didn't exchange for the 'Elementalization' spell, he could exchange for Yu Kuangtu's Awakening Technique and then use 'The Demon King Returns' to enhance it, consuming Yu Kuangtu's flames with a superior level of fire!

Transferring Elementalization wasn't that difficult. After exchanging for the complete version of 'Ren Xingmei's Time Rule,' Ren Suo could easily roam in the long river of time, step by step transferring Yu Kuangtu's Elemental Flame into his own body in the game.

Not a single mistake could occur, or the Gatekeeper's body would be engulfed in flames and turned to ash.

He couldn't let Yu Kuangtu catch on; otherwise, even a minor disruption from him would cause the Gatekeeper to explode due to the disturbance.

He couldn't be interfered with by others. Spiritual Energy disruptions or direct attacks would cause the body combining the Elemental Flames to become unbalanced and shatter explosively.

Such fanciful and astounding feats could only be accomplished by Ren Suo with unlimited retries and unlimited time. Moreover, he couldn't fully elementalize like Yu Kuangtu. Only his hair completed the Elementalization, reducing the effect of the flame Strengthening by 90%, but he was still able to control unlimited Spiritual Energy, and his movement range was no longer limited.

It just happened that the battle with Chen Liao had lowered others' guards.

It just happened that he could use Yu Kuangtu's flames for cover.

A moment of brilliance on stage is built on days of unseen effort.

In the hundreds of retries, only the one appropriately timed success would become reality.

This isn't Magic; it's Destiny.

"Is this all there is to it?"

As the cool and solemn voice echoed, white feathers floated around the venue, turning all Spiritual Energy into the perfect environment for Holy Light spells.

It was as if a castrato choir was singing a hymn of praise, and here appeared a Transcendent with his own background music.

Angel Zack's Twelve Light Wings unfurled, his Seraphim Armor fully Armed, a Heavy Tower Shield on his left, and a Cross Glorious Giant Sword in his right hand. The Angel stood in mid-air, looking down on mortals, judging them, sentencing them!

"Fire, storm, thunder, frost, Teleport," Zack said coldly from behind the full-coverage mask, "Is this the extent of your abilities?"

Angel Zack's tone was indifferent, as if the Gatekeeper's abilities were no more astonishing than basic arithmetic.

But with a casual slash, sacred Radiance became the sole light in the place, and the massive Flame Demon Lord behind the Gatekeeper was hit by this Light Slash and turned directly into ashes!

This light!

This sword!

This armor!

This feather!

This BGM!

So dazzling, it seemed as if all the computational resources of the world were dedicated to rendering the existence of Angel Zack!

At this moment, the three-dimensional world seemed to have been split open.

Below lay the mundane, unembellished, boring world.

But above, there lay the splendid Mythological World of Angel Zack!

The Gatekeeper couldn't help but laugh.

"After getting beaten up by the Black Coffin Demon King, you've grown stronger too, huh."

The Black Coffin Demon King?

Countless people silently noted this name. It was the very person who, for no apparent reason, had snatched Angel Zack from the Sky Tree and sent him crashing down to Sensoji Temple in Flourishing Sakura... the Demon King!?

So it was the Demon King, no wonder he beat up Zack without any reason.

At that time, Zack had just whimsically passed by Flourishing Sakura. After he was beaten, the Flourishing Sakura Government suspected that Zack was there on a spy sabotage mission. Otherwise, why would the Black Coffin Demon King Attack you?

Why would he Attack you and not someone else? There must be a reason!

It takes two to tango. You must have been at fault too!

Unable to find the Black Coffin Demon King to take responsibility, the Flourishing Sakura Government naturally could only hold Zack accountable for compensation.

And now it seemed that after being beaten once again, Zack had turned his frustration into strength and had become even stronger!

COUGH. COUGH.

You Jiu, dressed in a tracksuit, landed gently on the Door of Truth, stamping heavily on the icy surface. He sighed and said, "If you let me touch the Door of Truth, I won't have you executed at the Meridian Gate."

The Gatekeeper turned to look at You Jiu, then glanced at Tisrael, who spread his hands and said, "I don't want you to spill my dark history in a global broadcast, and I really don't have any Desire for knowledge."

No sooner had he spoken than the other Fourth-Stage Cultivators looked at Tisrael with some surprise.

No one understood the temptation of the Door of Truth to them better than they did. It was an almost instinctual pursuit, the culmination of all Desires satisfied, the perfect end to all stories.

It's like dogs wanting to eat feces, or humans wanting to stay in bed; it's an inherent instinct. But Tisrael can resist such power?

Tisrael glanced at Princess Yuffie, who was holding Karen, with the corner of his eye and thought, What do you understand? I'm just benefiting from my connection to a powerful benefactor. Would I tell you 'my National Treasure can help you resist the temptation of Truth'?

However, now that the Gatekeeper has grown stronger, only Angel Zack and You Jiu from the Mysterious Country seem able to contend with him. My own abilities are just barely sufficient. But perhaps this little National Treasure beside me could...

But as long as the Gatekeeper didn't come over, the little National Treasure had no desire to go there, only wanting to stay in her sister's arms and watch the drama unfold.

The Gatekeeper turned his head to look at You Jiu, who arched an eyebrow and, hunching his back, casually dug his ear with his little finger and said, "What's up, you want to talk about my dark past? I don't have that kind of thing."

The people from the Great Wall were momentarily at a loss for words. In a sense, You Jiu's statement was correct—his whole life was made up of dark history, so naturally, there was no such thing as dark history left for him.

Just like a person full of vulnerabilities is the same as having none.

"Is that so?" the Gatekeeper said calmly. "Don't you dream of yourself in old age?"

You Jiu's expression changed. He uttered a quick incantation, and his Flying Sword transformed into a shadow!

The Gatekeeper teleported to avoid it, continuing, "You hunch your back, clad in tattered Clothing, walking a muddy road to Hell. The sins of a lifetime flash before you—childhood defiance, youthful arrogance, middle-aged folly. Like dagger blades, like ice spikes, they tear through time, your blood boils, life congeals to dust, scattered by the wind..."

"Shut up!"

You Jiu's eyes suddenly turned ghostly white, and two streaks of cold light shot out towards the Gatekeeper!

"Celestial Master Taoism: Sword in the Pupil!"

Yet the Gatekeeper teleported again, appearing behind You Jiu and slashing out two Cross Gang Winds in succession!

"But why do you come and go in such emptiness, with shallow smiles and light frowns, dreams no more than a shower of falling petals."

You Jiu pointed backwards with his right hand, and the Cross Gang Winds instantly dissipated into smoke!

"Shut your mouth!"

"Celestial Master Taoism: Rootless Birth!"

He threw out a trail of black water with his right hand, which transformed into thunder in mid-air, weaving a vast net that enveloped the Gatekeeper!

"Celestial Master Taoism: Muddy Water Thunder!"

"Why have you stopped using your imperial pronoun?"

The Gatekeeper's voice came from behind him, accompanied by a blazing Flame Storm so intense it seemed capable of melting everything!

"Because one should show a modicum of respect for the dead."

You Jiu turned his head to look behind, and his angry left eye shot out an Eye Sword, dissolving the Fiery Flame tornado mere inches away into dissipating smoke!

'Sword in the Pupil' combined with 'Rootless Birth', transformed all spells back into Spiritual Energy!

At the same time, the black currents had already stretched across the entire icy surface, pouring into every crevice like mercury, sweeping up from below to engulf the Gatekeeper!

Surrounded by Muddy Water Thunder, the Gatekeeper did not show the slightest tension, calmly stating, "You have set the basest line of acceptable behavior in the human realm with your naked self. Above you, from darkness to light, human Desires run rampant, lust and appearances abound."

You Jiu's eyes flared with Blood Light, and in the distance, the white Flying Sword traced a white streak in the air, aimed straight at the Gatekeeper's head!

But in the next second, the Gatekeeper passed through the enclosure of Muddy Water Thunder as if transparent, the white Flying Sword passing through his hair without inflicting even the slightest damage.

"Below you, there is nothing but the Abyss."

At the same time, the enormous Flame Demon Lord suddenly re-formed behind You Jiu, its terrifying fiery fist smashing down with great Force!

The Six Paths Light Sword locked You Jiu in place. Although he quickly struggled and shattered the light constructs, the slight delay had cost him the chance to Dodge!

The Gatekeeper asked aloud, "As the last Emperor to end a Dynasty, what answer do you truly Hope the Door of Truth will give you?"

The fist of the Flame Demon Lord smashed down like a hammer!

The holy Radiance of a sword blade emerged from the Gatekeeper's chest.

The Radiance of the blade, like a stream of water, quickly suffused the Gatekeeper's entire body, turning him into Light!

'Angel Prohibition Hunting Law: Poison'.

Finally seizing a moment when the Gatekeeper could not Teleport, Angel Zack did not hesitate to deliver a deadly blow!

His Radiance would act like a poison, turning the enemy into light. This would render them unable to Move or engage in Casting Spells, and they would even rapidly lose consciousness. Once fully converted into light, the enemy would shine brilliantly for an instant before vanishing forever!

However, at this time, the Gatekeeper was still able to speak!

"You have Holy Light."

"I have Dark Moon."

'The Demon King Returns', Strengthening 'Gu Yueyan's Bright Moon Goddess'!

The black Moonlight interrupted the Radiance's conversion, and then with a sweep of the Gatekeeper's right hand, the black Moonlight turned into a close-range blast!

Crescent Heaven Rush!

Angel Zack hastily drew his sword to Dodge and raised his shield for Defense, while the Gatekeeper used the opportunity to Teleport away, landing on the other side of the Door of Truth.

Water Pearls constantly activated. 'Saving Lives and Healing the Injured' quickly healed the Gatekeeper's chest wound!

Suddenly, a flash of white light streaked by. The Gatekeeper tilted his head slightly to avoid the Flying Sword shooting from behind. The sword, without slowing, pierced straight through the Flame Demon Lord.

Struck by the Flying Sword imbued with 'Rootless Birth', the Flame Demon Lord couldn't maintain its form any longer and dissipated into wisps of white smoke.

Amidst the swirling white smoke, You Jiu slowly stood up. He patted the several scorched areas of his tracksuit and found holes burned in the back of his pants, but he did not mind.

He recalled his Flying Sword, raised both hands, and the sword hovered in mid-air.

With his hands open, the single sword split into six.

Then You Jiu snapped his fingers twice. The six Flying Swords further split into thirty-six, and then again into two hundred and sixteen, encompassing the entire Door of Truth!

'Flying Sword Technique: Divide Light and Shadow'!

"I do not need the Door of Truth to give me an answer. In this era, I have already found a new one."

You Jiu wiped the blood from his forehead, exhaled softly, and proudly said, "If the world were at peace, I would wish for nothing more than to fish, gather firewood, farm, read, wander the Martial World, to marry and have children, dealing with the mundane necessities of life."

"But if a golden age were about to collapse, with an Abyss at our side, I would willingly meet my death countless times to defend Shenzhou and protect the great harmony under heaven!"

He lifted his hand, and two hundred sixteen Flying Swords chimed together.

You Jiu asked indifferently, "Birdman, you don't mind, do you?"

"Not at all. Block all his Teleport spots, by all means," Angel Zack said. He repaired the scratches on his armor, spread his Twelve Light Wings, transformed his Cross Glorious Giant Sword into a Cavalry heavy spear, raised his shield, and charged, striking like a Meteor!

At this moment, You Jiu, known as the strongest humanoid Weapons in the East, and Zack, recognized as the most powerful Transcendent in the West, joined forces to Attack the Gatekeeper of the Door of Truth!

Angel Charge!

Ten Thousand Swords Emission!

The Sword Chime and hymns rang out in unison, Sword Light and White Holy Light merging as one!

"Is that all?"

At the center of the storm, the Gatekeeper's voice was still clear and pleasant, with an unmistakable tone of arrogance and disdain.

Zack and You Jiu simultaneously sensed something was amiss.

Clearly, the Gatekeeper hadn't teleported, nor was there any room for him to do so.

Yet, they didn't feel as though they had hit anything!

They saw that the Gatekeeper, who had just taken the full brunt of the Angel Charge and Ten Thousand Swords Emission, hadn't moved at all, not even a scratch on his body!

Right at the moment when he was about to be riddled with holes, the Gatekeeper activated 'Time Roaming' and dodged all the damage!

However, if they didn't hit once, then... they would simply try again!

You Jiu reorganized the two hundred sixteen Flying Swords, while Zack gathered light, ready to Charge again!

"Everything is arranged by the Door of Truth," the Gatekeeper looked around, opened his hands and said, "However, you did indeed bring me quite a bit of fun. Perhaps in the near future, you could be of assistance to us."

Zack and You Jiu felt a sense of unease.

"I am willing to admit that not only are you powerful among humans, but in this vast universe and the Azure Silver Temporal Space, you are also qualified Seekers of the Truth of this world!"

Wait a second! Zack and You Jiu started to panic.

"So, study hard and aim high every day," the Gatekeeper said, clapping his hands lightly.

"You son of a bitch, stand still for me!" You Jiu roared.

"Stay put!" Zack bellowed.

Zack and You Jiu both roared in anger, but the Gatekeeper and the Door of Truth had already vanished.

And You Jiu's two hundred sixteen Flying Swords were now all embedded in Angel Zack's body!

"You Jiu, you did that on purpose, didn't you!" Angel Zack, boiling with rage and unable to contain his turbulent emotions, went straight for You Jiu to vent!

"Exactly, it was intentional!" You Jiu's eyes erupted with divine light. "What, are you planning a rebellion as well?"

Angel Zack took a deep breath, the Holy Light converging again. "I wouldn't mind putting you, the last Emperor, back into your grave."

You Jiu waved his hand gently, and the two hundred sixteen Flying Swords kept circulating in the venue. "I wouldn't mind donating an idiotic Birdman Specimen to the national museum."

"Then come at me!"

"Am I supposed to be afraid of you?"

After the Gatekeeper's departure, the battle of the Transcendents erupted once again!
