Chapter 255: The Last Competition
Chapter 255 The Last Competition
The host has never been on a bungee jumping machine.
From before he was chosen as the host, and even after he was chosen as the host...
He has never been on a bungee jumping machine.
But his current mood is indeed like he is on a bungee jumping machine. One moment he is at the top, thinking that his plan has succeeded... and the next moment he falls to the bottom.
The number of heroes is decreasing faster than expected.
When seeing that the number of Shield Heroes, Sword Heroes, Archer Heroes, Magic Heroes... and even the most difficult to kill Formation Heroes were decreasing rapidly, the host really wanted to taste a glass of red wine brewed by the unwillingness and resentment of countless minions in this place of obsession, to show that he had successfully completed the task once again.
Mr. Taurus is about to get ten capable people, and the weird competition will once again become the focus of everyone's attention.
Among the twelve adults, Leo adults love to conquer, while Taurus adults prefer "opportunities".
He always creates various opportunities, either some entertainment programs or competitive programs like the Weird Contest.
The weird competition can be said to be the most important of Taurus’ many projects.
Because not only Taurus, but also another supreme being - Libra, is very optimistic about the project.
Many investments have been made for this project, including but not limited to the "Card Set".
Taurus people are eager to obtain powerful subordinates through "selection".
But at the same time, selection is also a kind of harvest.
And Lord Libra really hopes that someone can stand out and become the leader of a new force capable of influencing the war of the three towers.
In the eyes of the host, Libra is a person who is very happy to see chaos.
Whenever a new force is born, he will be very happy. It is rumored that Taurus-sama is cooperating with Leo-sama in some cities.
And Libra is the mortal enemy of Leo.
Whenever the host thought of this, he felt that... his own master was the one who truly controlled the situation.
Seeing the number of warriors decreasing, the host originally thought that the two humans would die.
After all, the gap in combat power between the warrior and the demon king is too big.
As usual, he was able to select ten qualified people and report to Lord Taurus and Lord Libra.
But gradually, he began to frown.
Not right.
Because Demon King Twenty-Two is dead.
Demon King Twenty-Two was a demon king that he had never been optimistic about. It was not a pity that he died, but he did not expect that there would be a showdown between demon kings so soon.
Although the host does not know the details of the battle...
But he could see the changes in the number of people in both camps.
Demon King Twenty-Two died, and he was slightly surprised. As a demon king, he died too quickly.
After all, Demon King No. 7, Demon King No. 10, Demon King No. 19... are all very powerful, and can even decide the outcome with other demon kings in an instant.
They all have tens of thousands of points, and they may be blessed with magical cards.
Among these god cards, there are three sets of the strongest cards.
One set is the double-edged sword of emotions. It can be said that this is an invincible card in offense and defense, which is provided by Taurus.
One group is the "fair" deck provided by Libra. Under inequality, there will never be a huge attribute gap with the opponent.
The third group is provided by Mr. Scorpio, called Song of Ages. It has a strong rule-based instant kill ability, but no defensive ability. The Song of Ages deck will cause damage in percentage of the opponent's health value according to the opponent's age. It can also force the opponent to specify a certain age.
The song of time, the double-edged sword of emotions, any combination of them and the fair combination of Libra is an unsolvable existence.
If the warrior can defeat the devil, then there are only two possibilities.
But over the years, no one has ever been able to win.
Not only is the probability of drawing these magical cards low, but you also need the relevant "favorability blessing".
The host didn't believe that something with such a small probability would actually happen.
But gradually, as the data on the field began to change...
He began to doubt his life.
"Devil King Ten...is he dead?"
The number of warriors is still decreasing, but the strongest demon king Ten is dead.
Was it done by other demon kings as well?
He began to feel restless and paced back and forth.
Not long after, Demon King Eleven and Demon King One also died within a few minutes of each other.
"Damn it! With the current number of warriors, it is almost impossible to kill the Demon King. How is it possible that two of them died in a row?!"
"Don't fight among yourselves! Kill all the warriors first, then deal with the other demon kings!"
The host really wished he could intervene.
In fact, he thought that if he greatly increased the number of demon kings and completely disrupted the lineup of heroes, everything would go smoothly and he could wait for the reward.
But things began to develop in a direction he could never have imagined.
The number of warriors is still decreasing.
All the brave soldiers were killed in battle.
Mu Yong, all died.
Seeing that the number of demons has not decreased, the host is like a stockholder watching his stocks:
"It's okay! The Warriors are falling! It was just a technical adjustment! Don't be afraid! It's a technical adjustment!"
Soon, the number of Magic Warriors, Bow Warriors, and Axe Warriors who were good at breaking defenses also dropped to single digits.
"Great! Kill all the heroes!"
But there are still a few Sword Heroes and Shield Heroes.
The host clapped his hands and said:
"Kill! Kill all the Sword Heroes and Shield Heroes!"
Of course he knew the identities of the two humans, because the drawing of lots could be manipulated.
As long as the Shield Hero and the Sword Hero are all dead... then that means the two humans are dead.
But gradually, the host's hands began to tremble:
"It doesn't make sense!"
Sword Warrior, 1 remaining.
Shield Hero, 1 remaining.
Magic Brave, 1 remaining.
There was no more change. The last three warriors seemed to have ceased to exist, and no demon king could kill them.
"You're trash! You're the devil!"
But then, the host comforted himself... It doesn't matter. Can a dozen demon kings be defeated by three warriors? Three warriors with a few thousand points at most can defeat me?
The seventh demon king was killed, the sixth demon king was killed, the fifteenth demon king was killed, the twenty-third demon king was killed, the thirteenth demon king was killed...
Almost at the same time, the host saw that the number of people in the Demon King's camp began to decrease rapidly.
And those three warriors are still there!
He began to go crazy. He couldn't imagine what kind of situation would cause the five demon kings to die together...
He finally figured it out. Could it be that someone really had drawn the strongest deck?
The host's hands were no longer shaking, his entire body began to tremble.
Demon King Eight, Demon King Nine, Demon King Nineteen, Demon King Eighteen, Demon King Seventeen, Demon King Two, Demon King Four...
More and more demon kings died.
The ones still alive are Devil No. 3, Devil No. 5, Devil No. 12, Devil No. 14, Devil No. 16, Devil No. 20, Devil No. 21...
Of the twenty-three demon kings, only seven remained.
And he arranged for the most excellent Demon King No. 7, Demon King No. 10, Demon King No. 19 to be presented to Master Taurus and Master Libra...
These three people have long been dead.
The three strongest demon kings died randomly, like some warriors with no sense of existence.
So much so that the host was still wondering when looking at the number of survivors.
"Wrong... It's the system that's wrong. Something must have gone wrong with the Weird Contest, right?"
He began to ask questions to the void, but no one responded.
The only response he received was a cold "death notice".
Demon King No. 21 was killed.
Demon King No. 14 was killed.
The host was very eager to go to the stadium and see for himself what was going on.
Why did the devil die like crazy? Why couldn't the last three warriors die?
Demon Lord No. 12 was killed.
The host's expression was already crazy:
"It's fake, hehe, it's all fake! You can't fool me!"
Demon King No. 3 and Demon King No. 16 were killed.
Both demon kings died at the same time.
Among the seven demon kings, only Demon King No. 20 and Demon King No. 5 are left.
In theory, the game should end when the number of people on the field drops to less than ten.
But the game has a minimum time limit. Before this time comes, even if all contestants are eliminated...
The game won't end.
……
...On the huge battlefield, Wen Xishu was riding on Demon King No. 20. On the Demon King's back, there was not only Wen Xishu, but also a Demon Warrior and Shield Warrior Zheng Zai.
At this time, Wen Xishu said with a grim smile:
"Hey, my little cutie, where are you hiding?"
The demon warrior behind him was trembling.
It was the monster that, at the beginning, wanted to stir up conflicts between demons in order to seek a chance of survival.
Wen Xishu really found it, and it was very tenacious and held on until Wen Xishu arrived.
Wen Xishu’s past experiences in the strange tower were all related to “qualified people”.
Jack, Jennifer, the An brothers... In short, completing the exploration of the Weird Tower and the Desire Tower can expand your network in the future Three Towers War.
This time, he also thought that he had to keep one that he could use and help himself in the future.
Wen Xishu took a fancy to the small rare species covered with thorns.
Being able to think of how to survive under the pressure of fear and despair is one of the advantages...
Being able to evolve to a rare species by eating carrion without devouring others shows that it is very good at judging the situation and can always survive safely in an environment surrounded by powerful enemies. This is its second advantage.
And, being able to see through the patterns in the previous round is the third advantage.
Wen Xishu's timely rescue, coupled with his powerful abilities and his special identity as a human being...
They also quickly recruited this "rare species" named Abdu.
Considering that the sarcasm in his words would affect the effect, Wen Xishu let Zheng Zai be in charge of the recruitment throughout the process.
The ability to talk nonsense and stir up emotions is also what a qualified guita person needs.
Zheng Zai still has talent.
"The leader is a genius, isn't he?" "If you want to be cannon fodder, you don't have to go to the third round." "If you make a wrong choice in life once, it is very likely that you will be doomed forever." "The end of the world is not suitable for human survival, but the humanity in your bones should not be abandoned, right?"
These words quickly touched Abdu.
Wen Xishu had to admit that Zheng Zai was really a good seedling and very talented.
Of course, Abdu’s feeling of being touched did not last long, because the demon he faced was too terrifying.
What is even more terrifying than the devil is Jian Yong, who doesn't speak easily and is full of sarcasm when he speaks.
Abdu really doubted that Jian Yong was the biological son of the organizer of the competition, so how could he draw such a card?
He watched as demon kings fell one after another, and those who easily crushed him began to flee in panic...
He felt relieved, but also trembling all over.
Because this man is so strong.
At this moment, Jian Yong gave Abdu the feeling of a real devil.
The final Demon King No. 5... was constantly avoiding Jian Yong's pursuit and had no desire to fight at all.
Jian Yong also seems like a complete villain:
"Guess how you're going to die?"
"I'll shove your head up your ass."
"I really want to use you to challenge the most bizarre record of death in the Weird Contest!"
Is the line about the warrior defeating the devil so unjust?
Demon King No. 5 didn't even dare to show up.
But Demon King No. 5 couldn't escape. Although Jian Yong's speed was not fast enough, Demon King No. 20 became Jian Yong's mount.
And there is still plenty of time for the weird competition.
……
……
Demon King No. 5, killed in action.
The host said "it's all an illusion" while praying that "Devil No. 20" could turn the tide.
But the reality is cruel.
At this moment, the words spoken by that human were echoing in his mind.
"Then is there any way to participate in the Hell difficulty... let two heroes challenge dozens of demon kings? To get more points?"
This statement was initially nonsense, enough to make the host's brain crash.
But now, it has really come true.
Demon King No. 20, killed in action.
The host collapsed to the ground, feeling that he had no strength left, but the most terrible thing was... the phone rang.
The questioning of "God" begins.
The host picked up the phone tremblingly. Of course he didn't dare to let Mr. Taurus wait.
"Yeah, it seems that this weird competition is very interesting."
The host was slightly stunned. The voice on the other end of the phone was not that of an adult Taurus, but sounded more like that of a child.
"Oh, let me introduce myself, my name is Scorpio."
The host was stunned, then said respectfully:
"I have heard a lot about you, Lord Scorpio. What instructions do you have?"
Scorpio is very calm:
"Don't be nervous. My Scorpio Knife provided a lot of points to my friend in this game, and he didn't let me down. It looks like he should be able to participate in receiving the prize."
"I'm just calling to tell you that I hope you can follow the procedures and don't do anything unnecessary."
The host broke out in a cold sweat. He certainly understood what this sentence meant: stop doing those little tricks.
He also understood completely that behind those two people... there was actually such a big shot.
So can this strange competition be seen as a game between gods?
"By the way, I have something to say to you, and that's what my brother Taurus wants to say to you~"
"Of course, I hope you can tell my friends too."
The host said anxiously:
"You...please say it."
"Don't be nervous. What I want to say is that among the three towers, the Slaughter Tower and the Desire Tower are both opportunities. They are opportunities for humans to change their destiny."
"But the Trickster Tower is not just an opportunity for humans. There are huge obsessions in the Land of Obsession. There are some special places that are not only available to humans."
"In fact, we can also use it. For example, the Weird Contest. We can also use the obsession of countless minions in the doomsday to become stronger to create factors that affect the battlefield..."
"And the three towers are essentially serving humans. If the three towers themselves cannot kill humans, in projects involving humans... humans are likely to lose their obsession."
"That is to say, if those two people hadn't died, the outcome they reached would have likely locked in the variables of the future Weird Contest."
"This is also the reason why your master, Taurus, does not want humans to get involved, because if they don't die, they will create a certain ending."
"Although we can use the Trickster Tower, the highest priority challenger and reformer of the Trickster Tower is humans."
"Unless there are human challengers who achieve a higher outcome later on, otherwise, this will be the final variable in the Weird Contest."
"In other words, this will be the last Weird Contest, because I don't think there will be anyone better than these two. In fact, ordinary people can't even enter the Weird Contest. Tsk, you screwed up."
The host exclaimed:
"Lord Scorpio! Please save me! Give me a chance and I will make amends! I...I will definitely find a way to kill them!"
"Pfft."
Scorpio laughed.
"Remedy? You think I'm here to help you solve your confusion? Hahahaha, you're so stupid. I'm here to laugh at your joke and make a victory declaration. I've said before that these two humans are mine."
"My brother Taurus won't care about you anymore. You've already messed up his project. Now, at least you have to make sure my project is running smoothly."
"Of course, you can also try to deal with my brother."
"Oh, I'm not talking about Taurus, I'm talking about the contestants."
"At least before you die, show some value and tell him that the Weird Tower is more than just a variable in the Weird Contest."
The phone hangs up.
The host's face was full of despair.
Shortly after this phone call, the third round of the weird competition ended.
Winners - Warriors Camp.
Number of survivors – three.
The surrounding scene changed again, but the host was still dedicated and forced himself to cheer up.
He knew it was his turn.
Even a monster as strong as Yu Mu had to be dominated, let alone him?
He had seen countless minions in the weird competition become food for others in the process of changing their fate.
He had long accepted this logic—the strong should dominate the weak.
Even if Scorpio's words are full of teasing, as long as the adult speaks, he will do it respectfully.
If such a big shot wants to destroy himself, what does it have to do with me?
Looking at the three "weaklings" who returned to the lounge again.
Two humans and a rare species, the host just felt extremely sad.
He had never seen... an awards ceremony without elites.
(I have to go on a long trip tomorrow, so I will update it tonight!)
