Chapter 932 AS174: After all, you've called me 'Mother' for ten years.

The two stairwells were blocked by the shadows of the trees, while the other shadows were strangling all the apprentices on the third floor.

The golden beer mug, filled with Lei beer, kept bubbling up and exploding.

Yu Xunge's situation was even worse. She not only had to deal with the strangulation of the tree shadows and the exploding thunder wine, but also had to resist her own living shadow.

What's even more outrageous is that when her shadow attacks her, she loses health, and when she attacks her shadow, she still loses health!

She had never seen such a shameless skill!

She could only rely on the [Bubble Nebula] and various movement techniques to tough it out.

She pulled the skill called "Self-Exile" out of her shopping cart and threw it at Maple Syrup.

This did cause Maple Syrup a lot of trouble, but it couldn't kill it; the latter simply used tree shadows to bind its own shadow.

What frustrates her is that she can't find the skill that allows the sea of ​​trees to descend, such as maple syrup. Perhaps, like the special skills of her divine relics, it requires the divine relics themselves to be activated.

And this one-sided massacre continues.

She couldn't even imagine how many numbers Maple Syrup had accumulated after killing hundreds of apprentices, or how she had carefully selected and combined those numbers to make her final result infinitely close to that final number 2.

Just as Yu Xunge was planning to wait until Maple Sugar's ultimate move ended before trying to turn the tide, Maple Sugar charged towards her.

She abandoned the other apprentices and flew towards her with all the shadows of the trees covering the sky.

Time seemed to slow down. Looking into Maple Syrup's resolute eyes, Yu Xunge knew she had found the answer to her question.

What do you want for maple syrup?

Relics of the gods? Perhaps.

But Maple Syrup also wanted her to lose the God's Game; she even wanted to kill herself completely.

The most obvious evidence is that, apart from Fogblade Fat Goose and others who are strong enough to protect themselves, all the other Moonlight Wetlands apprentices on this floor of the library are dead.

Maple Syrup did it on purpose; she used up all 100 resurrections in Moonlight Wetlands during this game of gods before coming to find him.

Even the invitation to join a team was probably motivated by impure motives.

If the first match is a team match, have I already died because of her betrayal?

Or perhaps she deliberately made herself think she had found a team. If the first match is a team match, would she really be able to join the group?

Yu Xunge's eyes burned for a moment. She pursed her lips and stepped back, then reverted to her original form, stepping forward with a dagger in hand!

She absolutely refused to lose to her old friend who wanted to kill her!

The narrow white short blade and the spear collided and bounced off each other several times in the air. The sounds of skill explosions, rustling of tree shadows, and faint wind chimes could not drown out the clash of weapons.

Yu Xunge has already activated [Mysterious Power], so she has no choice but to activate it as well.

The shadows of trees strangle her, her own shadow betrays her, golden beer mugs collide and explode, and the apprentices who, when trying to kill Maple Syrup, don't mind taking her down with their area-of-effect attacks, and the librarian who has finally started working.

Even with the [Mysterious Power] activated, Yu Xunge's health points continued to decrease.

Because the shadows of the trees would sweep up various visible objects and throw them at her, and would also bind some of the weakest apprentices she had deliberately left behind, using these apprentices as pea shooters to direct their attacks at Yu Xunge, these were considered effective attacks.

Yu Xunge relied entirely on the little snowman she made after entering the library to stay afloat.

She tried to use [Reversal Moment] to reverse her and Maple Syrup's health, but she was told that the skill was ineffective.

Yu Xunge couldn't help but smile.

Maple Syrup came prepared; she knew about her [mysterious power] and [moment of reversal], and had made ample preparations for today's battle.

The dagger pressed against the spear, pinning the maple syrup against the wall.

Yu Xunge pursed her lips tightly, refusing to utter even a single word to Maple Sugar!

All the previous doubts began to resurface.

The strange conversations between Zhu Ri and Tian Hu Hao Qi.

"I still prefer the bigger one."

"Did you see that? Did you see that? When she was getting to know her new teacher, she actually thought of me."

"Did you suddenly realize that you were actually the one who came later?"

"It's my apprentice, she's a bit older than you."

"You will meet her in the future. When you meet her, please pass on these skills to her. The moment you meet, you will know that she is my apprentice. She will be easy to recognize."

Zhu Ri taught her how to hide key information. These conversations were definitely not just casual remarks from Zhu Ri. She and Tian Hu Hao Qi were subtly reminding her of something.

The individual competition reward inexplicably selected a skill automatically—[Thank goodness, we almost got wiped out].

Who does she need to revive? Why would she choose this skill?

Whether it's Motorbike's "Protagonist Time," Bo Mang's "Crime Simulation," or Moji's "Low-Risk Investment," they're all better than this!

The "Time Walk" was mysteriously sealed within the divine relic, the "Raging Moon."

Why were you suddenly cursed and banned?

And then there's the rabbit's extremely familiar line, "You want to attack me?"

It had only taught me a magic rune a few years ago, so why did it have the audacity to question me like that?

It's as if it's another teacher to me.

Finally, there's the two years of memory she inexplicably lost...

Everything ended with her victory in that individual competition, and with the gift she received from the mysterious angler.

God's Game... God's Game.

She thought of the movies she watched when she was a child, those plays within plays, those stories within stories.

Is it possible that Astrana is a giant playground?

Perhaps she had grown up long ago, but she entered Astrana and participated in the game, which caused her to return to her childhood?

The "big one" that Tianhu Haoqi and Zhu Ri mentioned refers to their grown-up selves. She left the game for some reason but was brought back by them.

If that's the case... then the abnormality of the maple syrup can be explained.

Her transformation, her combat experience that clearly couldn't be acquired in just a few years, and her determination to kill herself.

There was no hatred or hostility towards herself in Maple Syrup's eyes; she was simply... she was simply determined to do something.

In those eyes so close, the tears of anger and grievance gradually subsided, and the young man, Zaijiu Xunge, suddenly asked himself earnestly and seriously: "Do you have any other memories? Do you have some reason that forces you to kill me?"

Upon hearing this, Maple Syrup, who had been relentlessly pressing "Wine Seeker" against the ruins and forcing him to endure a barrage of skills, had a fleeting smile in her eyes, recalling "Wine Seeker" from her childhood...

She couldn't help but think of the wine-drinking songs in the tower... She probably wasn't very old back then, always pretending to be stupid with Feng Ran's face, but you could still tell that the person in the tower and the person in Astrana had very different personalities.

If it were just a casual chat involving drinks and music outside of card games, they might pretend not to care and say something strange like, "I knew it, betrayal has been there from the beginning."

The shadows of the trees entangled Zai Jiu Xun Ge, who was dragged directly in front of Feng Shu to shield her from various skills from other players.

Maple Syrup watched as the fiery wings of light passed through her hand. She tilted her head slightly and whispered in Zaijiu Xunge's ear, "Yes, I had to kill you. I'm also very regretful, after all..."

A few blinks later, Yu Xunge's pupils trembled violently as dozens of skills rushed towards her. However, the reason for her trembling pupils was not because of the attacks that were about to hit her, but because of the second half of Maple Syrup's words!

She even turned her head slowly to look behind her, her face full of terror, as if she were the protagonist in a horror movie who heard a strange noise behind her.

That truly resonated with people was...

"After all, you've called me 'mother' for ten whole years."
