Welcome to Rewind World Game-Chapter 1426 - 77: Thus, He Has Become a True Lighthouse
World Tree.
Above the canopy, the red sun hung high.
Various races and royals had surrounded the World Tree.
A blond-haired, blue-eyed young man sat atop the highest treetop, staring into the distance.
"Dragon Emperor, Ice Element Emperor, Sanctuary Mountain Angel, Half-demon Elder, the four Luowasha protagonists, Wheel of Destiny, Order Guardian, Death Arbiters, Nalan Court, hundreds of thousands of players..." Noel smiled as he watched the approaching figures, "A rough estimate, at least a million people. To face me, they surely have given it their all."
"Why does everyone know you came to steal the World Tree’s book?" A childish voice from the Seventh Thrones rang out: "Did the World Tree send out a distress signal to the outside world? Or did Qi Zhou leak the information?"
"... Maybe, it was my clever friend Su who predicted my movements, so he sent people to intercept me." Noel curled his lips, sliding his forefinger across his chin, "Standing in front of the entire Luowasha and players... I really have become the ultimate villain."
"Huff—huff—"
A million people surrounded Noel’s position.
Proud dragons spread their wings, red, earth, holy light, and crystal dragons all gathered here, led by the regal Ian who stood with head held high.
Over ten thousand iron-gray mechanical men stood up, connected by metal and wires, spewing steam like clouds. A light ball resembling a mind floats ahead, the true form of the Mechanical Master Mokeluo.
A dozen proud and pure white figures, adorned with angel wings, floated in the air.
Over a thousand demons with pale skin and deep red eyes, bearing spiral horns, gazed forward.
The wolf, sheep, lion, horse, and leopard beast clans, vast in number, marched forward in formation.
The most terrifying was the uncountable wraiths like ants, continuously summoned by the Undead Emperor Xi Ting, emerging from the earth with forest-white bones, exponentially multiplying.
Ghosts, corpses, bone artisans of the undead race, all led by a tall red-haired man holding a wine gourd. Riding the undead bone dragon Gangbunier, with droopy eyelids, reeking of alcohol. He was the Lord of Hell, the Great Devil Perlo, who once fought in the War of Eden.
Even a small group of elves, never leaving the forest, appeared. They had pointed ears, holding long bows, standing quietly in the corners.
"Boom—!"
From an unknown source came a thunderous sound, the lush branches and leaves of the World Tree rustled like a waterfall of crystals, cascading in all directions!
The red sun grew larger, almost within reach. The gathered million people fixed their gaze on the direction of the World Tree!
Everyone knew that in the past ten days, a black-haired youth appeared, slaughtering gods everywhere. According to the royals, Sique Olivius, who once mocked the world with a pen, did it to save everyone. And this black-haired youth was Sique Olivius’s friend and the new planner of the Eden plan.
Zhai Star Player and the Luowasha people, originally at odds, now became twin allies in perfect accord!
One could not help but marvel at the unpredictability of destiny.
The dual world dominator of Luowasha and Zhai Star, people have learned his true name—
...
Su Ming’an.
...
Among those present, the most illustrious by far were four figures.
They were the four protagonists of Luowasha.
The first protagonist was a girl with scattered pink-purple curly hair. She wore a white lace gown, her face as beautiful as a blooming flower. She was the protagonist of the Quick Travel Novel, Shi Ying, with the golden finger affection strategy system. Various handsome men surrounded her, all gazing at her affectionately.
"That Su Ming’an, to have dominated two entire worlds... Hmph, no wonder he has a strategy difficulty rating of 7 stars in the system, truly extraordinary." Shi Ying thought to herself, "A pity, earlier I pretended to be a weak woman to approach him, but he remained unmoved."
"But..." she looked at her Affection Strategy System, "Noel Agnini... a strategy difficulty of 6 stars?"
The second protagonist, with red hair like fire, clad in silver armor, exuding an unrestrained charisma. He was Alger, the protagonist of Urban Fiction with the golden finger Perspective Treasure Appraisal King System. His expression was anxious because he found himself unable to contact the High Dimensions he collaborated with—the Sixth Thrones·Inorganic God.
"... What’s going on?" Alger pondered, "In the previous loop, the Inorganic God said he was going to the northern icefield for a grand feast, and then he went silent. Did he leave? Hey? Inorganic God, can you hear me? Strange, did I not send it out?"
He paced back and forth, troubled.
The third protagonist, with gray hair flowing and a cold demeanor, her face as if snow from the Heavenly Mountain. She was the fantasy novel protagonist Tian Yu, with the golden finger Unknown, and the female version of Bei Wang. Although the Luowasha people no longer viewed players as invasive entities, Bei Wang slept too soundly, so Tian Yu continued to dominate her body.
"... Noel Agnini?" Tian Yu blinked, staring at a golden speck on the World Tree, "A person who uses any means for his ideals, like a moth to a flame, truly terrifying..."
The fourth protagonist was a tall and sturdy middle-aged man with a steady gait, wearing sunglasses and sporting a beard. Beside him was a ponytail-wearing girl. They were Okt Xi and Shu Rong from the fourth day of the Loharsh Diocese instance, a father and daughter nearly blown up by radical believers, saved by the passing Su Rin. As a Nalan Court officer, Okt Xi’s golden finger was highly unusual—"Ignoring Others’ Golden Finger," his capability as a Realistic Fiction protagonist.
Besides the four protagonists, there were many players.
Those who once rushed the tree with Su Ming’an, Anthony, Zhong Xi, Wang Chaoze, Sean... The Holt Wizard Alliance that sold drinks in the hospital of the first round of the Disciple Game, Hua De, Penelope, DeWitt... Those who shared the instance with Su Ming’an, Rimu Sheng, Eli, Agnes, Qiuqiu...
Familiar faces appeared countless. Countless ordinary players flooded the outside of the World Tree. They never anticipated that at this final moment, they faced not the High Dimensions or the gods, but...
Noel Agnini.
"... I always said he was a rebel! We should have taken him out from the start!" a voice of discontent arose.
"... Ah, people have their own pursuits, he’s not the first top player to pledge allegiance to the High Dimensions."
"... It’s too late to say anything now, since Noel stands on the opposite side of us, he’s the enemy!"
"... For Zhai Xing! For Luowasha! For the Number One Player—kill Noel Agnini!"
"... Kill Noel Agnini! Kill Noel Agnini!!!"
Voices surged.
Hatred rose like a tide, rushing towards the World Tree.
There were tens of thousands of players gathered here. Most of them were quite capable adventurer players. Upon hearing news of Su Ming’an, they volunteered to stop Noel. They understood the strength of the second player and felt even more outraged by Noel’s betrayal.
On the treetop, the blond youth heard the shouts of the people and smiled.
Perhaps anticipating the importance of this day, today he wore not his usual formal attire but brilliantly red clothing, with layers of white ribbons overlapping to form a rose at his chest. White edges layered his collar, cuffs, and pant legs.
Light, white, soft, like a snow-white flying bird.
He hummed softly an unknown tune and moved forward.
"—Kill Noel Agnini!"
A fireball was the first to shoot out, it was from Bonnie. Perhaps she just found it fun, perhaps she just casually fired it—as the youngest child, she fired the first shot at Noel.
"Noel! You traitor!"
"Show him the consequences of being a traitor!"
The air seemed to freeze for an instant, then the next moment, people awakened. Light waves, arrows, curses, array spells... one after another, colorful attacks flew towards Noel.
The golden giant dragon roared, Ian spread his wings, releasing a scorching dragon breath.
A gleam of the mechanical mind flickered for a moment, all mechanical men opened fire, and the flames instantly lit up the entire World Tree, as if thousands of small blazing white suns!
Countless wraiths crawled up, bone knives glinting coldly, slicing through the air towards Noel.
The most dazzling was Tian Yu. Her wings spread wide as she floated into the air, her lips gently parting.
"A thousand miles of ice—"
The ice mana of Bei Wang combined with her own innate frost power, and in an instant, a pure white ice swept across the land like a dragon standing tall, carrying the coldest temperatures, rushing towards Noel. Wherever it passed, a thousand miles froze and countless snowflakes danced.
Rimu Sheng and the others immediately followed, using their most powerful skills, striking towards Noel.
"Boom——!"
A trigger at a moment’s notice!
The siege of millions went from extreme stillness to extreme action. Even the air was filled with energies of various hues, leaving almost no gaps! Some attacks, as soon as they were launched, collided with others.
From a bird’s-eye view, it looked like rings of black and white vortices surrounding the World Tree, closing in on the center!
Like a pair of invisible giant hands, focusing on Noel, tightening, clenching, and ravaging!
The fiery aura, the frost aura, and the death aura.
The blond youth was instantly enveloped by the attacks of millions, including numerous royals, top players, and even demigods.
Frost-white snowflakes fell onto his brow and eyes, slowly sliding down, leaving a trail of moisture.
He continued to hum an indistinct melody, facing the overwhelming attacks, he slowly—opened his arms.
In an exceedingly misplaced tranquility, facing the frost-covered body, facing the star-like cascading attacks, he displayed a familiar smile like a little sun:
...
"...Now I’m afraid I hate the music. ♪"
...
"Boom——!!!"
"Boom——boom——boom——boom——!!"
Amidst the violent explosions,
Dust engulfed everything.
...
——When Su Ming’an arrived at the World Tree, this was the scene he saw.
Brilliant as a canopy of stars, millions of attacks descended, engulfing the small golden figure standing atop the tree.
His heart trembled instantly, but soon, Su Ming’an subconsciously smiled, as if a triggering condition embedded in his heart had been satisfied, so he had to smile.
That’s wonderful.
The last threat vanished.
His fists clenched tightly, still fearing that Noel might not be dead, he leaped, behind him, a pair of snowy-white tentacle-like wings spread, flying towards the tree crown.
His speed was exceptionally fast, even though he arrived later, he surpassed others like the Dragon Emperor also in flight.
"...Su Ming’an, you came!?" Ian spotted Su Ming’an.
"...Oh my lord, you arrived just in time." Xi Ting arched their bony eyebrows.
"...Su Ming’an." Huan Jiala nodded in acknowledgment.
"...Whoa, the seven-star fellow has arrived." Shi Ying’s eyes rolled.
"...It’s the Number One Player! The Number One Player is here!!" The moment Su Ming’an ascended, the players noticed him.
Immediately, a wave of joy swept through the crowd, instilling instant calm. The elderly clapped their hands and nodded, and children smiled. Even some players who were originally very frightened, found their heartbeats instantly calming.
That’s wonderful, Su Ming’an has arrived.
We will definitely win.
...
——Thus, he had truly become a Lighthouse.
...
"...That’s wonderful! It’s the Number One Player! We are saved!"
"...Su Ming’an! We killed Noel Agnini! You don’t need to worry anymore!"
"...Quick, quickly enter the World Tree, stop the World Master! The World Master has been inside for a while!"
People chattered eagerly, longing to immediately gather beside Su Ming’an, seeking even a moment of his attention. Their attitude towards him was the complete opposite of their attitude towards Noel.
[Protagonist]——versus [Villain].
"...Hey? Why does it feel like the Number One Player is a bit different today?" someone suddenly said.
"...Isn’t his hair a bit white?"
"...And he seems so majestic..."
At this moment, people also noticed the change in Su Ming’an. He seemed to look...farther away from them.
Clearly, he was flying in the air, yet he seemed as if he could disappear or disintegrate at any moment.
Su Ming’an flew towards the World Tree, his gaze fixed on the position of the tree crown, where the dust had yet to clear, even the World Tree was trembling. Logically, with an attack of such magnitude, Noel should be unlikely to survive.
But he felt it was not that simple.
But he sensed a wary premonition——
"...You came, friend?"
Then, a voice full of laughter sounded from behind him.
A thread brushed past the side of his face. Where colorful cards floated, a blond figure appeared silently, pressing the brim of his hat down with his left hand.
In his right hand, a spade card, sharp as a knife, was pointed at Su Ming’an’s back.
"...Friend, don’t go in yet, the World Master is inside stealing books." Noel’s eyes curved upwards, the red heart painted on his cheek shimmered dazzlingly: "You should already know, those books are the experiential summaries of the World Tree’s instance constructions. As long as we read them, we can comprehend ’The Seven Seals’ and obtain ’Land Deed’—the World Origin. Thus dominating Luowasha and Eden, becoming the new masters of the world. Once the World Master secures those books, how about we split them half and half?"
The thread had already turned colorful, enveloping around like a spider web.
Su Ming’an sensed a similar aura—the aura of a Third-level God. Noel had indeed become a god.
Was it the authority of "Causality"? Whether or not it was the authority evolved from Noel’s occupation as a "Causal Puppeteer", or one bestowed by the two High Dimensions upon Noel.
The sharp touch from the card against his back prompted Su Ming’an to suddenly lean backward.
